The Reaper Hun Tiandi

Gu Yuan's voice echoed across the sky, resounding throughout the city. The power of Dou Di expert terrified all the city's residents.

Xiao Xuan and the Hun Tiandi both looked extremely grim, because they both knew who Yu Xi, whom Gu Yuan had mentioned, was— Gu Yuan's beloved first wife.

The Hun Tiandi looked at Xiao Xuan again and suddenly realized something was wrong. He discovered that Xiao Xuan's appearance was exactly the same as Gu Yuan's wife.

Back then, he was an undercover agent planted in the Ancient Clan, providing the Soul Clan with a wealth of intelligence. Therefore, he knew a great deal about the Ancient Clan.

"I am not his wife," Xiao Xuan said hastily, shaking her head as she saw the Hun Tiandi looking at her. He seemed to realize something as well.

"I know," Hun Tiandi nodded with absolute certainty, because Gu Yuan's wife was killed by a powerful member of the Soul Clan, and Xiao Xuan was still a virgin, so how could she possibly be someone else's wife?

Gu Yuan must have thought his beloved wife was still alive, which is why he planned to come and capture Xiao Xuan to take her back to the Ancient Clan.

The two hurriedly left the Mage Guild, intending to hide. Given Xiao Xuan's current physical condition, she was no match for Gu Yuan.

However, neither of them expected that after Gu Yuan became Dou Di, the Ancient Clan's influence had spread throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent, and their whereabouts had long been known to the Ancient Clan's experts.

A large number of Dou Zun and Dou Zong searched the sky and the ground, launching a massive manhunt.

In less than half a day, a group of powerful Dou Zong cultivators from the Ancient Clan appeared before the two of them and surrounded them.

"Fireball!" Xiao Xuan shouted softly, gathering a ball of magical flame in her palm and throwing it towards the group.

However, given her current physical condition, the magical power she unleashes is completely ineffective against even a Dou Zong expert.

An Ancient Clan Dou Zong chuckled and pulled Xiao Xuan's body close by with a pull from a distance, intending to bring her to Gu Yuan later.

"Let me go!" Xiao Xuan struggled desperately, but to no avail.

"Release Xuan'er!" Hun Tiandi roared in fury, drawing his Ice Wheel Pill and slashing at those surrounding them.

His courage is commendable, but the Dou Qi within him is only at the level of a mere Dou Shi. He no longer possesses the strength he once had, which allowed him to regard all the heroes of the world as worthless.

As soon as he rushed in front of these people, he was kicked away by an Ancient Clan. The pain made the Hun Tiandi vomit a mouthful of blood, and his Zanpakuto fell to the ground.

The once invincible hero who shook the world and made the strong tremble with fear is now unable to defeat even a few insignificant Dou Zong. It is truly pathetic.

"Di Hun Tian, don't come any closer!" Xiao Xuan hurriedly stopped Hun Tiandi from his moth-to-a-flame behavior when she saw that he was injured.

Despite the pain, the Hun Tiandi picked up his Zanpakuto again and began hacking at the people like a madman.

Bang!

Another merciless kick landed on his chest, sending him flying once more.

"You idiot, why did you come over here? Are you out of your mind?"

Seeing the man in front of her repeatedly charging at her recklessly, only to end up battered and bruised, Xiao Xuan felt a pang of heartache and tears streamed down her face.

"I really didn't care about my life. If you hadn't ignited my fighting spirit, I'd probably still be a mindless walking corpse." The Hun Tiandi knelt on the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. His whole body was covered in bruises, but he showed no fear. His eyes still shone with an indomitable light.

"From the first moment I saw you, I felt a spark within me. This is the first time in my life I've felt this way. In my pursuit of strength, I've made many mistakes and missed out on many wonderful things, but today, I don't want to miss out again!" The Hun Tiandi roared once more, charging towards the group. "Xuan'er, I'm coming to save you!"

Xiao Xuan shed two lines of helpless tears. She cried out and commanded the Hun Tiandi not to rush over anymore, but the Hun Tiandi did not listen at all.

A storm of Dou Qi swept across the surrounding world, and a massive amount of heaven and earth energy, as if summoned, surged into the Hun Tiandi's body. At this moment, the Hun Tiandi also rose from the Dou Shi realm to the Dou Emperor realm.

This is the highest-level enhancement technique within the Soul Clan, which can only be used when engaging in a life-or-death struggle with an enemy by burning one's lifespan and soul.

To rescue Xiao Xuan, this ruthless tyrant, who prioritized profit above all else, was actually willing to sacrifice his life.

"This kid has actually cultivated the methods of the Soul Clan." The Ancient Clan was slightly surprised. Since the Ninja Island incident, the Soul Clan had been hunted down by the Ancient Families, and they were all like rats crossing the street. But this person today actually cultivated the secret techniques of the Soul Clan. He must not be allowed to live.

A Dou Zong suddenly attacked, striking out with a palm against the Earth Tier Fighting Skill condensed by the Hun Tiandi. With a cracking sound, the blade light unleashed by the Hun Tiandi was instantly shattered by the Ancient Clan expert.

But the power of this Ancient Clan expert's Dou Qi was far more than that; the residual force shattered all of Hun Tiandi's bones, causing him to collapse to the ground with a thud.

"Xuan'er, Xuan'er," the Hun Tiandi called out Xiao Xuan's name in a daze, struggling to crawl on the ground with all his might.

This scene caused Xiao Xuan to cry out loud again.

"According to the Clan Leader's order, anyone who has cultivated the Soul Clan's techniques must be executed. To die by your own weapon, I wonder if that's shameful?"

An Ancient Clan expert picked up the Zanpakuto from the ground and brought the tip of the blade down hard on the Hun Tiandi's back. The blade instantly pierced through his body, pinning him firmly to the ground. At that moment, the Hun Tiandi's indomitable eyes slowly closed.

"Ah!" Seeing the Hun Tiandi killed, Xiao Xuan went completely mad. She struggled to return to the Hun Tiandi's side, but an Ancient Clan woman struck her neck with a chop, taking the unconscious Xiao Xuan towards Gu Yuan's direction.

"Clan Leader, we have brought the person to you."

Gu Yuan saw the powerful members of his clan bring the unconscious Xiao Xuan to him. He looked her over repeatedly and found that the girl's appearance was indeed very similar to his wife's; they were practically identical.

He took the unconscious Xiao Xuan into his arms, gently stroking Xiao Xuan cheeks, then opened a spatial rift, taking Xiao Xuan back to the Ancient Clan.

"Did I... die again? This feeling of dying again is really awful!"

"It's alright, you'll get used to it after a while. Death is never afraid of death!"

"Who are you? Why are you in my consciousness? Why can you hear my thoughts?"

"I am the Grim Reaper. You are called Hun Tiandi, right? Since the Zanpakuto has pierced your body, from today onwards, you are the new master of this sword. Accept the power of my inherited Grim Reaper!"

At this moment, the Zanpakuto on the corpse of the Hun Tiandi suddenly released endless chill, and a massive beam of light enveloped the city.

This shocking scene astonished all the powerful figures of the Ancient Clan. Could it be that an ancient treasure had appeared in this city?

As they followed the light source, they were astonished to see that the seemingly dead Hun Tiandi had actually stood up again. All the injuries on his body had disappeared, and an aura of absolute zero cold swirled around him.

He stood on a giant ice dragon, with a pair of ice wings growing from his back, and twelve ice lotuses appearing behind him.

"You guys just had a good time beating me, didn't you?"

The Hun Tiandi suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes. He stood below, holding the Ice Wheel Pill in his hand, a slight smirk playing on his lips. The domineering aura of a tyrant that had been absent from his body for a long time had returned.

Just now, he suddenly obtained the inherited power left by the owner of a knife before his death, and his own strength is now increasing by leaps and bounds.

"This child is strange; he must not be allowed to live!" An Ancient Clan Dou Zun was greatly alarmed and immediately ordered everyone to attack together and kill the Hun Tiandi with all their might.

The Hun Tiandi, far from being afraid, laughed instead; he was eager to test the power of the Ice Wheel Pill.

"Sit upright in the frosty heavens, Ice Wheel Pill."

With a single swing of the blade, a massive amount of spiritual pressure was released, freezing all the moisture in the air. This then formed countless towering ice pillars all around, which intertwined and merged together. In an instant, hundreds of Dou Zong powerhouses from the Ancient Clan, unable to dodge in time, were all frozen in this towering ice prison, turning into lifelike frozen fossils.

The dozen or so Ancient Clan Dou Zun were also quite frightened by the Hun Tiandi. If they hadn't just hidden in the space, they probably would have been frozen into ice blocks by this towering ice prison.

"Dragon Shot"

With a powerful thrust of his foot, Hun Tiandi flew straight toward an Ancient Clan Dou Zun. He thrust his sword straight at the Dou Zun Dou Zun expert, and the moment the spiritual pressure on the tip of his blade made contact with the expert, the Dou Zun expert was immediately enveloped by a cross of ice, and then his body and the ice shattered into dust.

In less than a second, he annihilated a Dou Zun expert, demonstrating just how terrifying Hun Tiandi's current strength is.

"I'm not playing with you anymore! Die today!" The Hun Tiandi was eager to rescue Xiao Xuan and had no intention of wasting energy on these Dou Zun expert. "Ice Heaven Flower Burial!"

In an instant, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, each one concealing a very strange energy.

The Dou Zun expert initially paid no attention, but when they touched the snowflakes, it was too late for regrets.

Each snowflake that touched their bodies froze their Dou Qi, and at the same time, ice began to form rapidly on their bodies. In just a few seconds, they were all turned into ice sculptures, falling from the sky and shattering into pieces.

After becoming familiar with the Ice Wheel Pill and the power of the Death God, the Hun Tiandi immediately headed towards the Central Continent.

"Gu Yuan, you think you can steal my woman? I'll tear down your lair right now!"
