Chapter 307 Death!

All around, between the heavens and the earth, there was a hushed silence.

Bai Qianxue and Xuanji had both been taken away by their grandfathers. Another crisis presented itself before the company. Hua Qiyue frowned and thought the problem somewhat thorny.

Xuanyuan Wutian started to guffaw loudly. Chu Qianzhao also snickered. They both cast their ravenous eyes at Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo.

“Hahaha, I didn’t expect the two old men to go off in a huff because of these two idiots! Well, you’d better hand me the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead obediently!” Xuanyuan Wutian sneered coldly.

Chu Qianzhao’s eyes lit up. “The Purple Primordial Chaos Bead, eh? I’ve heard of it. I’ve always wanted to know how useful it is!”

Tianci was a little nervous. Hua Qiyue protected him behind her.

“There’s only one Purple Primordial Chaos Bead. And there’re two of you. Humph, why don’t you two fight and see who wins? The victor will have the privilege to take the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead!” the Hare started to sneer, its eyes full of derision.

These elders of the Tianyuan Continent were so covetous.

“Haha, you think we’re kids? We won’t be so stupid! Of course, we will get rid of you fellows first and then dig out the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead from that boy. The bead will belong to the man who seizes it!” Chu Qianzhao gave a raving chortle. Now, he was no longer interested in Yun Shimo but in the bead.

Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo’s hearts were in their mouths. Right now, everyone was extremely tense and worried.

At this moment, they had not even the slightest advantage. If they really started to seize the bead, Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo would be soundly defeated in 100 moves!

Chu Qianzhao and Xuanyuan Wutian exchanged glances. They had a tacit understanding. Chu Qianzhao struck out at Yun Shimo with lightning speed while Xuanyuan Wutian attacked Hua Qiyue!

Ji Feng and Huangfu Xuan looked at each other. In the battle just now, they had already sustained quite a few injuries. But they did not fear anything. Both leaped up and stood by Hua Qiyue’s side.

Bingyi naturally was by Yun Shimo’s side.

The Hare was quietly sitting on Tianci’s shoulder, not saying a word. Tianci tightly clenched his fists. He was just about to join the fray when the Hare spoke quietly.

“Young fellow, don’t move. You have too little combat experience. You will only be your mom’s burden if you join in!”

Its words made Tianci’s heart exceedingly heavy. He sat down unhappily by one side, watching the soaring figures in front. He could not make out who was who.

Ji Jing and Princess Qianyang were also a bag of nerves. Princess Qianyang’s lovely eyes were brimming with tears, and she muttered, “Brother Bingyi, you must hold out… Boohoo…”

Ji Jing swept Princess Qianyang a silent glance. Her heart was feeling most uneasy.

Yun Shimo was the more badly injured, and he was forced back by Chu Qianzhao first. Chu Qianzhao hit out a palm on his back, and Yun Shimo retreated ten steps hurriedly. He spat out a mouthful of blood and had to breathe in deeply!

The purple energy inside him rapidly coursed around his body.

Unless he was in true danger, he would not use his precious purple energy.

When he saw Yun Shimo heavily injured and about to be slain, Chu Qianzhao felt a sense of complacent delight. He had not expected to see plumes of faint purplish fumes emerge from Yun Shimo’s body. Yun Shimo’s pallid face started to glow again with a florid flush!

Chu Qianzhao realized something was not quite right. Yun Shimo was such a bizarre character. In this short period, he had recovered to his earlier state!

“Come, let’s determine who dies in one move!” Yun Shimo said coldly to Chu Qianzhao, who was also badly injured.

Chu Qianzhao had been a Qi Artist at the Great Completeness of Great Deity for years. He could not stomach the derision and was furious. His pupils flared with a scorching flame.

“What an arrogant lad! I will shred you into a thousand pieces. You will never be reborn again!” Chu Qianzhao snickered coldly. A bright white light glowed on his palm, carrying with it a bone-penetrating chill!

Yun Shimo called out a few more lines of runes. More and more purple energy converged in his body, becoming more and more intense. Even the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead in Tianci had reacted. Wisps of purple energy also streamed out from Tianci’s body, gathering in Yun Shimo’s body.

Tianci was overjoyed. He quickly summoned even more energy using his willpower, sending it over to Yun Shimo.

Chu Qianzhao saw this. He became furious and frantic. He had not paid too much attention to Yun Shimo. He had always believed himself would be the victor, no matter when he fought.

“Chaos-breaking Dragon!” The ball of light on Chu Qianzhao’s palm suddenly expanded, as if attracting all the white light in the entire universe. The world started to glow with white light!

Yet the purplish light from Yun Shimo was particularly eye-catching amid the white glow!

“Purple fumes from the east—destroy his soul in the west!”

Yun Shimo’s voice turned exceedingly cold. The purplish light expanded suddenly, suppressing all the white light.

At this crucial juncture, Hua Qiyue and Ji Feng were also facing a crisis.

Neither Ji Feng nor Huangfu Xuan’s cultivation was at Hua Qiyue’s level. Slapped by Xuanyuan Wutian’s palm, they instantly lost consciousness.

Hua Qiyue had long expended all the purple energy inside her body. After all, her opponent was at the Great Completeness of Great Deity. She had not reached the same level as Yun Shimo. So naturally, she was facing a crisis.

Xuanyuan Wutian feinted, but Hua Qiyue saw through his act. The old creature was enraged. Ten blood-red glows instantly soared out from his ten fingers!

“Ten Engulfing Lights!”

Hua Qiyue was greatly shocked. His powerful oppressive aura gave her the presentiment that she would die under this aggressive move!

Other than in the battle against the Gnawing Devils Sect—when she had sustained heavy injuries—Hua Qiyue had always won easily ever since she started practicing Qi Art. Right now, she suddenly felt the approach of death.

“Qiyue!” Ji Jing gave a shocked gasp. She saw an explosion at Yun Shimo’s side. She did not know how the fight there had ensued. Only now could Ji Jing see the situation between Hua Qiyue and Xuanyuan Wutian.

Tianci’s big eyes widened. Even if he acted, it would be too late to save Hua Qiyue.

But the Hare streaked out like a flash of lightning toward Hua Qiyue.

“Pfft—”

The sound of something penetrating the flesh turned the teeth sore. Ji Jing’s eyes widened. Tianci’s eyes also turned rapidly red.

“Qiyue!”

“Mom!”

This move had come too fast. Hua Qiyue could not escape using the runes. Although she thought that she would surely die, she felt no pain at all in her body…

What had happened?

Hua Qiyue recovered herself and felt someone was embracing her tightly. Was it Yun Shimo?

When she saw that pale face, her heart almost froze.

“Xuanji!”

Hadn’t he been taken away by Elder Xuan? Why was he still here?

Xuanji was wearing a black Taoist robe. His muscular body had been pierced by ten holes, as blood gushed out from them.

Xuanji smiled embarrassedly. “Qiyue, I tricked my grandpa with a body double. I didn’t expect myself to be still useful here. Let me… embrace you, or there’ll be no chance.”

Hua Qiyue’s eyes widened. The rims of her eyes rapidly turned red. Her throat seemed to be clogged by a huge ball of cotton wool. She could not say anything!

Ji Jing and the others saw this scene and were flabbergasted. The Hare leaped into mid-air. When it saw the sudden appearance of Xuanji, it sighed quietly at the man’s infatuation. Then, it turned and headed straight for Xuanyuan Wutian on the side, who was planning another attack.

The Sun Moon Deity was confronting Xuanyuan Wutian!

Xuanyuan Wutian actually would not concern himself over a little hare. But that powerful, explosive aura oppressing him gave him a big shock!

Such a small spiritual pet could exert such great oppression. Xuanyuan Wutian no longer dared to slight the Hare. He did his best to counter the attack.

Hua Qiyue tremblingly embraced Xuanji, whose arms were gradually drooping. Large tears rolled down her face. Tianci also raced over and grabbed Xuanji’s hand. “Big Brother Xuanji, you told me that you would bring me out to play. Will you… fulfill your promise?”

Xuanji’s listless eyes were smiling, not at all as cold as in the past. “Tianci… I promised you and… I will surely take you out to play… ”

Hua Qiyue’s heart was almost completely broken. Although she did not love Xuanji, he had been her most trusted friend. Xuanji had not disappointed her. But his sacrifice was too great.

While the company was at a loss for words and shedding tears, Hua Qiyue quickly took out a Heaven-and-Earth Rejuvenating Pellet. This had been refined for her by Yun Shimo. No matter what, she would make Xuanji take it. Perhaps there would still be hope.

Xuanji swallowed the Heaven and Earth Rejuvenating Pellet and felt pain racking his entire body. His vision darkened, and he lost consciousness.

Everyone was greatly shocked. While they were still panicking, a black figure descended from the heavens and lifted Xuanji up at once.

“Damn that Xuanyuan Wutian. Meet your death!” It was Elder Xuan.

The reason why Elder Xuan had been tricked by Xuanji’s body double was that he was ranting mad. Soon after their departure, he sensed that something was wrong. He discovered that he had only brought away Xuanji’s body double.

So he swiftly returned. When he saw Xuanji injured, he knew it was the work of Xuanyuan Wutian.

Xuanyuan Wutian dodged the ball of light hurled down by Elder Xuan. But he was still a little hurt. His arm had almost been blasted away.

A little slower and Xuanyuan Wutian would be dead.

Elder Xuan’s figure disappeared. He had no time. He must find a place quickly and treat Xuanji’s injury.

“Xuanyuan Wutian, if you don’t die today, I will exact my revenge someday later! If you die, the members of your Xuanyuan Family will not have a happy life!”

The voice of Elder Xuan drifted from afar. Xuanyuan Wutian panted and watched the dazed Hua Qiyue. He gave a maniacal laugh, and his figure streaked out like lightning toward Hua Qiyue!

Tianci’s cultivation was too low against Xuanyuan Wutian’s. Hua Qiyue had expended all her energy. As she faced the powerful Xuanyuan Wutian, it seemed that soon she would become his victim!

“Qiyue, Tianci…” Ji Jing watched the hideous Xuanyuan Wutian hurtle toward Hua Qiyue. Hopelessness overwhelmed her heart.

Princess Qianyang was so shocked that her tears kept falling, as she watched this cruel scene.

Instantly, the purple and white lights collided against each other. Both Hua Qiyue and Tianci had reacted.

They were not people who would await death.

Although Tianci was young, he still had the instinct to protect himself.

Xuanyuan Wutian was forced back several steps by the rebound. He exhaled a deep breath and wanted to strike again. But a chilling murderous aura assaulted him from the back. “Soul-eliminating Finger!”

A cold, indifferent voice rang out. Xuanyuan Wutian heard a “Pfft!” and felt something penetrate his brain. Part of his spirit seemed to have been shredded by something. He was racked with pain!
