Live and Die Together

[You had not wanted to meddle, but she came charging straight toward you.]

[She shouted at you, "A good dog doesn't block the road! Get out of this lady's way! If I trample you to death, I won't be responsible!"]

[As she spoke, the girl raised the long whip in her hand and lashed it viciously at you!]

[Your expression remained calm as Dou Qi surged from within you, forming a Dou Qi hand seal that seized the girl's whip and gave it a light tug.]

[The girl was yanked off her horse and sent flying toward you!]

[You then struck out with your palm again, shoving her back and sending her butt crashing heavily onto the ground.]

[The girl was stunned. She had never expected that, in Horizon City, there would actually be someone who dared to treat her so roughly!]

[The two old men behind her had already been scared out of their wits upon seeing you make your move, much less dared to attack you.]

[With a flash, you appeared before the girl and gave her several slaps, making sure she learned a long-lasting lesson.]

[Everyone around them was dumbfounded!]

[They had never expected you to dare lay hands on Horizon City's Spoiled Princess!]

[After beating her, you left.]

What was this called?

Showing off like the wind, ever at your side?

Showing off and then leaving!

[You left Horizon City and arrived in the Black Corner Region. At an auction, you spent lavishly and bought Xun Er many gifts for their reunion.]

[You felt that she would definitely like them.]

[At the same time, your lavish spending caught the attention of a minor faction called the Blood Robe Sect!]

Blood Robe Sect?

That had to be some insignificant little faction, right?

Besides, in the mere three months since he had left the Ancient Clan, he had already soared from a one-star Dou Venerate to a Three-star Dou Venerate!!

One star per month—his talent was utterly heaven-defying!

With such strength, he was one of a kind even in the entire Black Corner Region!

And someone still had the nerve to pick a fight?

Uh, he had never revealed his strength!

Then it was fine.

[You were stopped by people from the Blood Robe Sect in Black Seal City. They demanded that you hand over your money!]

[You did not waste any words and sent them straight into reincarnation to cultivate anew.]

Decisive!

Resolute!

[Worried that the Soul Clan might discover you, you remained cautious and found another place to change your appearance and disguise yourself before continuing on your journey.]

[Afterward, you asked around as you traveled through many places, eventually arriving at the Jia Ma Empire. As you passed through the Monster Mountain Range, you discovered the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.]

[You went down and borrowed some Companion Purple Crystal Source from him. He did not refuse; he was even very welcoming.]

"Of course! How would a Dou Emperor dare act rashly before a Dou Venerate?"

"In this situation, even if he were told to bark like a dog, he would not dare refuse!"

[He also told you that there was a treasure beneath a cliff, asking only that you not kill him and take his Magic Core.]

[Sure enough, you obtained many medicinal herbs beneath the cliff and also found a fragmentary map. You kept your promise and did not kill him.]

[You arrived at Wu Tan City.]

[You found the Xiao Family and happened to see Xun Er coming out of the Xiao Family!]

[Several young men followed behind her, each with a fawning smile plastered across his face and all sorts of jewelry and gifts in hand.]

[Clearly, they were all Xun Er's admirers.]

[Unfortunately, Xun Er turned a blind eye to their flattery. There was even a trace of disdain and disgust between her brows.]

[The next moment!]

[Your eyes met.]

[Xun Er thought she was seeing things and hurriedly rubbed her eyes before looking at you again.]

[Only then did she realize that you had truly appeared before her.]

[Xun Er beamed with joy and hurried toward you, calling out in her clear, light voice, "Hao Gege, you finally came. Xun Er missed you so much."]

[Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly, nearly grinding his teeth to pieces as tears of envy welled up in his eyes.]

[You opened your arms and welcomed Xun Er.]

[Xun Er crashed into your arms and hugged you tightly. Tears of joy welled up in her beautiful eyes!]

[You wiped away her tears and told her you were preparing to take her away from this place.]

[Xun Er no longer cared about any mission and nodded in agreement!]

Good heavens!

As expected of the most love-struck girl in Battle Through the Heavens!

[However, just then...]

[The winds and clouds above Wu Tan City suddenly shifted, and several rifts tore open in the sky!]

[Several figures shrouded in black mist stepped out from those rifts.]

[They were members of the Soul Clan!]

[Two peak Dou Zun experts!]

[The moment they appeared, they used the Soul Clan's supreme treasure to unleash a Space Seal, sealing off the entire area with thunderous force!]

[You found it strange. You had clearly changed your appearance, traveled through many places, and taken numerous detours before arriving here.]

[Why had the Soul Clan still caught up with you so quickly?]

[You suspected that the Ancient Clan had a Soul Clan spy!]

Ye Hao: "Looks like they had prepared this long ago! There's an eighty to ninety percent chance that bastard Gu Yang tipped them off!! We were watched from the moment we left the Ancient Clan. The reason they only made their move now was probably to let the line run long and catch the big fish!"

The Soul Clan really was insidious!!

The moment they acted, they sent two peak Dou Zuns!

They truly had no intention of letting him live.

Still, this Space Seal was formidable. It should have blocked the message talisman Gu Yuan gave Xun Er, right?

Otherwise...

This really would have been a dead end!

[Knowing you were no match for them and not daring to be careless, you immediately had Xun Er crush the message talisman Gu Yuan had given her!]

[The Soul Clan experts noticed your actions and grinned.]

[They said, "Don't waste your effort. We brought My Clan's finest spatial isolation formation. There's no way you can send out a signal!"]

[You knew that, given your circumstances, it would be difficult for you to leave this place.]

[You asked the two Soul Clan experts the question in your heart.]

[The Soul Clan expert let out a strange Jie Jie laugh. "Since you already know the answer, why ask such a pointless question?"]

[Xun Er tightly gripped your hand, golden flames flickering in her eyes.]

[You pointed at Xun Er behind you and said, "This has nothing to do with her. Let her go."]

[The two Dou Zun experts from the Soul Clan glanced at Xun Er.]

[Hmm, very cute, very beautiful.]

[And she was the Ancient Clan patriarch's daughter.]

[Although one of the Soul Clan experts felt that you were quite responsible, he still shook his head and refused your request.]

Ye Hao: ...

[You shielded Xun Er behind you and said, "Xun Er, don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, I definitely won't let anything happen to you."]

[The Soul Clan expert mocked you. "Trying to protect a woman from harm against peak Dou Zun experts is nothing but a fool's dream!"]

[The Soul Clan experts attacked!]

[Before the two peak Dou Zun experts, you had no ability to fight back. Even after using a Heavenly Rank Dou Technique, you were still unable to contend with them!]

[Xun Er was injured by them.]

[You were also injured by the Soul Clan experts.]

[Looking at Xun Er's pale face, you decided to use the technique of self-destructing your physical body, swearing to blast open a rift in this area and send the message out.]

[Xun Er saw through your intentions, rushed to your side, and decided to live and die with you!]

By the way...

Where was Explosive Good Luck?

Where had it gone!
