The Hall of Souls' Seventh Heavenly Venerate left with astonishing abruptness. Before I could even do anything to him, he slipped away with his men. Not only me, but the others from the Great Love Alliance were left staring at one another in bewilderment. After a moment of silence, cheers finally erupted throughout the Medicine Garden.
"The Alliance Chief is incredible! He actually scared off the Seventh Heavenly Venerate!"
"Haha, what Hall of Souls Heavenly Venerate? He's nothing more than a cowardly rat!"
"The alliance leader is mighty! Long live the alliance leader!"
A group of Dou Zong experts burst into laughter. When they had faced the combined assault of the Wind and Lightning Pavilion, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, and the Hall of Souls, everyone had thought they were doomed. Who could have imagined that the moment I stepped in, the situation would turn around?
First, I had slain Thunder Venerable's avatar in one overwhelming strike, then cut down several more people in succession, frightening the Seventh Heavenly Venerate into fleeing at the mere sight of danger. A certain-death situation had been so easily broken by me. Even if Wind Venerable or Tang Zhen had been here, could they have done better than me?
Yet just as everyone cheered in celebration, Zi Yan's little face suddenly turned pale. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fell from midair to the ground, while the ancient, weathered aura around her rapidly dissipated.
"Zi Yan!"
I was badly startled. I had never expected the effect of the "Ancestor Soul" to vanish so quickly. Zi Yan had worn that battle-hungry expression earlier and taken the initiative to attack the Seventh Heavenly Venerate because she had clearly realized that her body would not last much longer and wanted to end the battle swiftly!
