Xiao Yi Xian's Crisis

Xie Biyan's expression turned incomparably ugly.

Two of the Mu Lan Three Elders were dead. What use was the one remaining?

Old Tiger's charred flesh had curled back, and the toxins left behind by the Nether Poison Flame began seeping into his body. He spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Even though he had barely survived by relying on the Dou Qi of his two brothers before their deaths, he was already severely wounded. In his current state, let alone a Dou Emperor, even any random Dou King could finish him off.

"Yan Luotian, what are you doing?!"

Grief-stricken, Old Tiger angrily berated Yan Luotian.

Yan Luotian said coldly, "If I hadn't thrown away those two pieces of trash, was I supposed to let myself get hit by that Nether Bone Erosion Butterfly too?"

A flicker of killing intent passed through his eyes, chilling Old Tiger's heart. He immediately shut his mouth.

The Three Great Empires had only joined forces temporarily to suppress the Jia Ma Empire. How could they possibly have been united as one?

Now that the Mu Lan Empire no longer had any Dou Zong-level combat power, its fate would likely be no better than that of the Jia Ma Empire...

Su Yun said blandly, "A thousand years ago, This Sect Master once fought experts who cultivated Combination Techniques.

Back then, once those three activated their technique, they could merge into one, with no distinction between them. It was a supreme method of three becoming one.

How could it be like yours, which merely grafts Dou Qi together? Even if it makes one person stronger, the other two become fatal weak points. It is riddled with flaws and unbearable to watch.

How could a truly exquisite Combination Technique be something so inconvenient?"

Su Yun's voice was soft, yet it spread across the entire battlefield.

Ding.

Your lie caused Xie Biyan, Yan Luotian, Old Tiger, Hai Bodong... to believe it completely. It has been judged as fabrication. You have obtained 1000 Truth Points.

Remaining Truth Points: 38904.

"This man looks young, yet he is some old monster who knows how many years he has lived. His knowledge is even broader than ours. If we want to defeat him through clever tricks, I'm afraid it won't be easy..."

A cold gleam flickered in Xie Biyan's eyes.

But surrendering now was unrealistic as well. They had started this war, but whether it could end now depended on whether Su Yun agreed.

"Don't panic. There is still a chance!"

Yan Luotian's eyes shifted as he said, "Even with the Snake-People Tribe aiding the Jia Ma Empire, our forces still vastly outnumber theirs.

As long as we wait for the ground battle to be decided, then gather the strength of the army and join forces to kill him, it isn't as though we have no chance... If we all rush him together, he may not be able to kill us all!

What we need to do now is hold him back!"

"Good!"

Xie Biyan's face twisted savagely as vicious light surged in his eyes. His Dou Qi erupted, and his aura was terrifying. The golden wings behind Yan Luotian's back suddenly flapped, their dazzling golden radiance blazing like a great sun hanging in the sky!

"You think the two of you can hold This Sect Master back... Fine. It has been a long time since I last stretched my limbs like this. I'll play with you a little longer."

Su Yun smiled calmly, but inwardly, he intended to end this quickly.

The combined military strength of the three empires truly was not something the Jia Ma Empire and the Snake-People Tribe could withstand. They had twice as many Dou Emperor experts.

In just this short time, Hai Bodong, Yun Yun, and the others had already been injured.

"Boom—!"

Su Yun's aura burst forth. Vast pressure swept through the lands like raging waves of an angry sea. The ground trembled violently, mountains shattered, and space warped and twisted with piercing shrieks.

Xie Biyan and Yan Luotian shuddered, their pupils shrinking to pinpoints. A chill ran down their spines as a deadly threat surged into their hearts.

Only when Su Yun fully unleashed his aura did everyone finally glimpse his current cultivation.

"Three-Star Dou Ancestor..."

Xie Biyan's voice was hoarse, the shock on his face utterly impossible to suppress.

"According to the intelligence we have, he only refined a Sect Breaking Pill and went into seclusion to break through to Dou Zong after defeating Jia Xing Tian... How long has it been? Yet he has already raised his cultivation by another two stars!"

Yan Luotian said coldly, "His cultivation fell drastically after he awakened. He is merely recultivating his former realm, so perhaps the difficulty is lower."

"Hiss—!"

Ten thousand zhang of jade flames tore through the sky, while blue-green waves of fire poured down like a heavenly river. Su Yun loosely clenched his hand, and the poison fire filling the sky immediately collapsed and condensed. A three-foot-seven-inch longsword, entirely jade-green, slowly took shape.

Nether poison miasma coiled around the blade. Every flickering flame distorted the surrounding space, and a faint spiritual aura emanated from the sword.

Xie Biyan's brows throbbed violently. The Dou Qi within his body instinctively screamed a warning: he absolutely could not take this attack head-on!

"Which one of you?"

Su Yun's gaze moved between the two.

At that moment, Yan Luotian gave a sinister smile and shouted sharply, "Don't you want your precious disciple anymore?!"

On the ground battlefield, Xiao Yi Xian's green dress had already been dyed crimson with blood. Poison mist churned around her, and wherever she passed, enemy soldiers fell as though their veins had been slit.

The Woeful Poison Body was uniquely blessed and greatly enhanced combat power. Combined with the Earth-Tier Mid-Grade Cultivation Method, the "Nether Poison Canon," which Su Yun had passed on to her, Xiao Yi Xian's performance on the battlefield was exceptionally striking.

Just as her palm descended, about to strike an enemy Dou Ling to death—

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Three terrifying auras suddenly rose. Three Dou Emperor experts had been lying in ambush among the enemy troops, and they launched their attack at the same time.

"Take her alive!"

The leader of the Dou Emperors said coldly.

Three Dou Emperors dealing with a single Dou Ling was admittedly overkill, but Xiao Yi Xian was the disciple of that ancient expert. If they could use her to restrain her teacher, then any number of troops would be worth it!

Yan Luotian's sinister smile sent chills down even Xie Biyan's spine. The plan for the two of them to join forces and hold Su Yun back had merely been a smokescreen.

Catching Xiao Yi Xian off guard was Yan Luotian's true objective!

"So this is your little trick?"

Su Yun's expression remained indifferent as his sleeve swept through the air. There was no longer any need to hesitate over his target.

The Jade Fire Longsword shot forth, carving a scorching trail through the air as it flew straight at Yan Luotian!

"You can really be so heartless? She is your only disciple!"

Yan Luotian's expression changed. He had not expected Su Yun not to care at all whether Xiao Yi Xian lived or died!

"Worry about yourself."

Terror filled Yan Luotian's face. He had intended to disrupt Su Yun's state of mind using Xiao Yi Xian, but he had already lost his best chance to flee. Even the extreme speed of the Nine Heavenly Goose Wings was now useless!

"Pfft!"

The Jade Fire Longsword pierced Yan Luotian's body. Its intent of annihilation instantly severed his soul, while the Nether Poison Flame slowly spread and burned his body into nothingness, leaving not even ashes behind.

The flames were not as raging and violent as before, and even appeared exceedingly small. Yet in Xie Biyan's eyes, the sight was utterly terrifying. This sort of power condensed to the absolute extreme was the most fearsome.

Meanwhile, just as the palms of the three Dou Emperors were about to touch Xiao Yi Xian's robes—

A seven-colored ray of light suddenly shot from Xiao Yi Xian's sleeve, transforming into a seductive figure clad in a fiery-red brocade robe.

The Red-Robed Woman's expression was icy, killing intent flashing across her lovely face. Her jade-like hand reached out, splitting into three afterimages.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Three soft sounds rang out almost simultaneously. The three Dou Emperors froze in place, their heads exploding like berries as red and white matter splattered across the ground.
