Tell me where that girl is, and I promise to spare your soul!
Old Ghost Yu Du stared intently at Xiao Yan, his eyes revealing boundless greed. His expression was slightly ferocious, and his already distorted face became even more terrifying at this moment!
Upon hearing Yu Du's words, Xiao Yan frowned, wondering if this Old Ghost Yu Du was asking about his Lian'er. Could it be... that Lian'er's Woeful Poison Body has some connection to the Tribulation Crossing Sect?
Xiao Yan's changing expression was naturally noticed by the Old Ghost Yu Du. Upon seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Yu Du became even more certain that Xiao Yan, the little girl he had been searching for, must know her whereabouts!
A cold smile crept across Yu Du's lips, looking extremely eerie and sinister. Then, his slightly transparent hand slowly rose, before suddenly slashing out, transforming his palm into a claw. It stood upright before Xiao Yan, its five withered yet incredibly sharp fingers causing tiny cracks to appear on Xiao Yan's face, from which drops of crimson blood spread. In the desolate wind, Xiao Yan looked like an assassin who had walked through a sea of blood, his entire body exuding a murderous aura.
Upon seeing this scene, the Third Hall Master, standing behind Old Ghost Yu Du, couldn't help but frown.
Old Ghost Yu Du had said earlier naturally fell into the ears of the Third Hall Master. However, the Third Hall Master really had no recollection of the little girl that Old Ghost Yu Du had mentioned.
You must know that ever since Xiao Yan arrived in the Origin Martial Continent, he has been constantly pursued by the Third Hall Master and others. If there were such a conspicuous little girl by his side, they would definitely know. But today's scene made him think repeatedly. He did not expect that Old Ghost Yu Du had something to hide from him and wanted to plot against him in secret. This person is really treacherous!
However, after the Third Hall Master noticed the intense greed in Old Ghost Yu Du's eyes, his puzzled expression changed immediately. As if he had thought of something, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes as he looked at Xiao Yan.
"Hehe... How about it? As long as you tell me where that little girl is now, I will leave behind a wisp of your spirit for you today. Our misunderstanding will end here. I'll go my way, and you go yours. From now on, we'll have nothing to do with each other!"
Sensing the unprecedented danger approaching him, Xiao Yan's heart trembled slightly. He naturally wouldn't tell Lian'er about it. Xiao Yan's experience in growing to his current level was comparable to that of some real old monsters. In Xiao Yan's eyes, the words of Old Ghost Yu Du were full of loopholes!
To leave behind a wisp of one's own soul is no different from simply annihilating him; at most, it would only allow him to struggle in this world for a little longer.
This guy would never give himself a chance to live. It's no wonder that Old Ghost Yu Du's actions were even more vicious than simply killing him!
Given Xiao Yan's personality, how could he possibly submit to these things!
Better to be a hero than a coward! In the face of great calamity, we fear neither life nor death!
This is the real reason why Xiao Yan was able to grow to such a level!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a surge of heroic spirit. His eyes hardened, a sharp glint flashed, and his gaze toward Old Ghost Yu Du became even more piercing.
With a flash of his eyes, the crack at the corner of Xiao Yan's eye caused his eyes to tremble slightly. Although this scene was not particularly noticeable, it was still caught by Old Ghost Yu Du Old Ghost Yu Du, who immediately let out a cold laugh in his heart.
"Heh, as expected, the stronger one is, the more afraid one is of death. Heh heh heh heh, once your life is in my hands today, Xiao Yan, you'll have no choice but to obediently surrender. Heh heh heh heh..."
With a thought, the Old Ghost Yu Du condensed the powerful Soul Power within his body between his fingers once more, and his already sharp aura surged even more. This time, Xiao Yan's facial features were somewhat distorted under the influence of this energy.
"Hehehehe, Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, have you thought this through? As long as you can tell me where that little girl is now, I can guarantee your soul will not perish today! And restore your physical body!"
Old Ghost Yu Du's eyes suddenly turned sharp. With a wave of his hand, the space in front of Xiao Yan instantly shattered. The dark and deep Endless Void gave people a chilling feeling of being swallowed up, as if once you entered, you would never be able to come out alive!
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly. At this moment, he was being suppressed by the Third Hall Master with all his might, and the power of the Heavy Spirit Domain was being unleashed. Even Xiao Yan was powerless to turn the tide. If Old Ghost Yu Du really attacked him, he might truly step into the Gate of Life and Death today!
Xiao Yan's change in expression clearly pleased Old Ghost Yu Du. What he wanted to see was the look of fear on Xiao Yan's face. The more he saw that, the more he felt a sense of mocking pleasure. He wanted Xiao Yan to lose all the dignity that belonged to Half-Emperor!
Xiao Yan's mind gradually calmed down. It seemed that Old Ghost Yu Du was just trying to toy with him. But Xiao Yan was not one to be manipulated. His expression immediately changed, and he looked at Old Ghost Yu Du with a cold smile, saying:
"So, you don't actually dare to kill me after all!"
"Um?"
Old Ghost Yu Du's expression changed slightly. He snorted coldly and grabbed Xiao Yan's neck with his withered hand. Xiao Yan's face turned red from being choked, but his expression towards Old Ghost Yu Du remained fearless.
"Snort!"
With a cold snort, Old Ghost Yu Du loosened his grip on Xiao Yan's neck and said in a cold voice:
"You dare to provoke me like this!"
Xiao Yan smiled upon hearing this, coughing and panting for a while until his flushed face gradually faded. Ignoring Old Ghost Yu Du's cold words, he stared straight at Old Ghost Yu Du and said with a sneer:
"Since you want something from me, then naturally I can also have you do some things for me, right?"
Old Ghost Yu Du narrowed his eyes slightly. He naturally understood why Xiao Yan said that. At this moment, he was restrained by the Heavy Spirit Domain. He said this only to make Xiao Yan take action against the Third Hall Master behind him.
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the Third Hall Master was slightly startled, and his expression turned ugly. Could this Old Ghost Yu Du really dare to attack him?
" Old Ghost Yu Du! This Xiao Yan is our greatest enemy. I've only just managed to subdue him. If you change your mind now, not only me, but both of us will lose our lives here today!"
At this critical moment, the Third Hall Master couldn't help but shout at Old Ghost Yu Du, hoping that he would make a move against Xiao Yan first. After all, he didn't want Xiao Yan to ruin his plan of killing two birds with one stone!
Upon hearing the Third Hall Master Master's words, Old Ghost Yu Du's heart stirred slightly. He had personally experienced Xiao Yan's combat strength. Not to mention his current state, even at his peak, with Xiao Yan protected by the Heavenly Flames, he would definitely not be a match for him!
Now, he naturally didn't want to let such a good opportunity slip by, but the jade pendant on Xiao Yan's chest was also genuinely tempting him.
Others might not know about that little girl, but he was from the Tribulation Crossing Sect, so how could he not know her!
That little girl will make him a true powerhouse. At that time, let alone the Tribulation Crossing Sect, even the strongest forces would have to think twice before facing him!
On one side is life, on the other is power; one cannot have both fish and bear's paw. Today, he can only choose one!
Old Ghost Yu Du narrowed his eyes to look at Xiao Yan, then glanced at the Third Hall Master out of the corner of his eye. If either of these two lived, they would be his greatest threat. If he wanted to live, then today, the two beside him must die!
A ruthless glint flashed deep in his eyes. Two powerful Half-Emperor were asking him, a man nearly injured, to judge life and death. For him, wasn't this an opportunity?
"Can't you have your cake and eat it too? Heh heh heh heh, today I'll test whether I can have both!"
He glanced at Xiao Yan with pity, then kept glancing at the Third Hall Master behind him out of the corner of his eye. Old Ghost Yu Du licked his dry lips with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes and sneered at Xiao Yan:
" Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, hehehehe, sorry, this old man chooses to survive. After all, what use is strength if you don't live..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yan's expression turned serious. This Old Ghost Yu Du was clearly going to kill him!
Upon hearing Old Ghost Yu Du's words, the Third Hall Master, standing behind Old Ghost Yu Du, couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. As long as Xiao Yan breaks through, today, no one in Yanluo City will be able to stand against him!
Meanwhile, before Xiao Yan could make a move, Old Ghost Yu Du's terrifying finger pointed towards Xiao Yan's brow. At the same time, a slightly hoarse shout came from Old Ghost Yu Du's mouth.
" Poison Xuan Finger!"
At the same time that Old Ghost Yu Du roared, a withered hand suddenly struck the chest of the Third Hall Master behind him.
This seemingly ordinary palm strike caused the entire world to tremble the moment it was unleashed. In an instant, the void shattered, and everything within a hundred miles of the three people was reduced to nothingness!
Half-Emperor is truly incredibly powerful. Even with severe injuries, he can still command the might of heaven and earth. He truly deserves to be called the pinnacle of power on the continent!
The Third Hall Master's expression had already turned to one of shock the moment the palm struck. He hadn't expected that Old Ghost Yu Du would dare to attack him again. But the opportunity had passed, and it was too late to make any move now. In addition, with the control of the Heavy Spirit Domain, it was impossible for him to dodge. Therefore, he could only stand and watch the attack come!
In the blink of an eye, Old Ghost Yu Du Holding Up the Heavens's towering finger had already reached Xiao Yan. The fierce wind made Xiao Yan's long hair fly wildly, and Xiao Yan couldn't help but close his eyes, as if waiting for the moment of death to arrive.
"Is this really all there is to it... Ancestor Xiao Xuan, Xun'er, Cai Lin... I never imagined that after only arriving in this other world, I would have to leave you all so soon..."
At this moment, a bitter feeling welled up in Xiao Yan's heart. His reluctance to part with Xun'er and Cai Lin was indescribable, and there was also... guilt towards Xiao Xuan.
"Bang!"
With a deafening bang, two figures were sent flying backward from the deep, dark sky, before crashing heavily into the endless abyss and disappearing from sight...
