Chapter 344: 344. Chapter 344: Hun Tiandi is Desperate!

344. Chapter 344: Hun Tiandi is Desperate!

In the sky, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, as if foreshadowing that an earth-shattering battle was about to unfold.

Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan were locked in a fierce exchange high within the clouds, the terrifying auras radiating from their bodies mingling to form a suffocating pressure.

Hun Tiandi's white robes were now slightly torn; his expression was cold as ice, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. His gaze was like a torch, fixed firmly on Gu Yuan before him, while occasionally sweeping toward Void Swallowing Flame, who was locked in a fierce battle with Gu Fei in the distance.

One could see Void Swallowing Flame surrounded by black flames, yet his figure was becoming increasingly illusory, as if he might vanish into nothingness at any moment.

"Not good, if this continues, Void Swallowing Flame will surely be unable to hold on!"

Hun Tiandi felt immense anxiety in his heart, his teeth clenched tight, his expression grim and terrifying.

He knew well that Void Swallowing Flame was the key to this battle; once this strongest combatant was lost, the Soul Clan would certainly be wiped out.

In truth, even if Hun Tiandi were to successfully save this fellow Void Swallowing Flame, it still would not change the Soul Clan's losing momentum. After all, the Six Clans held the numerical advantage, and dealing with Gu Yuan alone already left him unable to spare any effort.

He might save Void Swallowing Flame, but Void Swallowing Flame would still be in a wounded state.

Bound to lose!

But even so, as long as he could take Void Swallowing Flame away from here, there would still be a chance for a comeback! To lie low for a few more years... Just as Hun Tiandi was distracted for a split second, Gu Yuan seized the opportunity and struck instantly.

He pressed his palms together, and Dou Qi surged from his body, converging into a massive golden palm print.

That palm print was shimmering with brilliant light, its surface covered in mysterious patterns, radiating a sacred and solemn aura.

"Break for me!"

With a sharp shout from Gu Yuan, the golden palm print whistled through the air, smashing toward Hun Tiandi with the force of a collapsing mountain.

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering explosion resounded through the heavens, the terrifying shockwave stirring up thousand-foot-high waves, the wind and clouds changing color wherever it passed.

Hun Tiandi was caught off guard and struck in the chest by this palm, letting out a muffled groan as he was sent flying back several thousand feet, tumbling several times in the air before barely stabilizing his figure.

Fresh blood gushed from Hun Tiandi's mouth, drawing a striking rainbow of blood in the air.

His face was deathly pale, a trace of shock flashing in his eyes; he had not expected Gu Yuan's attack to be so fierce.

Logically speaking, Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan should actually be of similar strength.

Fighting it out, he should not have fallen into a disadvantage.

It was just that Hun Tiandi had indeed been distracted just now. "Hun Tiandi, you cannot afford to be distracted while fighting me."

Gu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his tone indifferent, though a faint, imperceptible cold smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

It appeared that Gu Yuan did not take it seriously at all.

It was just like child's play.

And Hun Tiandi was indeed panicked, especially seeing Gu Yuan so calm, making him feel even more uncertain. At this moment, although Gu Yuan appeared lighthearted on the surface, he was incomparably vigilant inside.

He knew very well the terror of a powerhouse like Hun Tiandi and could not afford to be careless.

However, the Allied Forces currently held the absolute upper hand; as long as he dragged Hun Tiandi out, the Soul Clan would undoubtedly be defeated once the other battlefields were won.

By then, even at Hun Tiandi's level, facing the siege of several Eight-Star Dou Saints and other powerhouses, he would have no chance of survival.

"Ah!"

Hun Tiandi roared in fury, his eyes flashing with a violent light.

He looked around, only to see the Soul Clan army retreating steadily, the situation precarious. This caused a deep sense of powerlessness to rise in his heart.

"No! Is my Soul Clan truly going to be defeated today?"

Hun Tiandi muttered to himself, his voice low and bitter. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, dripping with blood.

No! It is not over yet! Everything can still be salvaged!!!

After making up his mind, Hun Tiandi suddenly charged toward the direction of Void Swallowing Flame.

His speed reached the extreme, turning into a black lightning bolt that tore through the sky, crossing the distance of several thousand feet in the blink of an eye.

"Want to save Void Swallowing Flame? Not that easy!" Gu Yuan let out a cold snort.

His figure vanished abruptly, and the next moment he was already blocking Hun Tiandi's path.

"Damn you, Gu Yuan, do you really have to force me to go down with you!"

Hun Tiandi roared, the black mist around his body surging violently, the energy within his body churning madly.

An aura even more terrifying than before erupted from him, causing even the void to distort.

"Burn!"

Accompanied by a low shout from Hun Tiandi, his body began to undergo a bizarre transformation.

His originally pale skin turned blood-red, as if fresh blood were flowing beneath every inch of his skin. Those deep eyes also turned crimson, radiating a terrifying murderous intent.

At this moment, he had actually chosen to burn his Essence Blood to briefly boost his combat power.

This method caused immense damage to the body; he did not know how many years it had been, but never before had he been forced to such a state.

"Hum!"

As Hun Tiandi burned his Essence Blood, his speed surged once more.

He rushed toward Gu Yuan like a blood-colored lightning bolt, his fist wreathed in a terrifying energy vortex.

"Bang!"

Hun Tiandi slammed a fist into the golden barrier set up by Gu Yuan, erupting with a heaven-shaking roar. The golden barrier trembled violently, looking as if it were about to collapse.

However, the next moment, Gu Yuan also unleashed his full strength, Dou Qi surging from his body to stabilize the defense.

The two were soon locked in a fierce struggle, trading blows, earth-shaking. Hun Tiandi attacked as if he were throwing his life away, every strike containing destructive power, forcing Gu Yuan to retreat step by step.

Yet even so, Gu Yuan remained composed. He knew that as long as he dragged out the time, the Allied Forces would surely win.

And with Hun Tiandi's current suicidal fighting style, he could not last long.

On the other side, Gu Fei was in the midst of a fierce battle with Void Swallowing Flame.

"Flame Lotus of the Burning Fire!"

A massive seven-colored lotus flower bloomed in Gu Fei's palm, each petal radiating a heart-palpitating high temperature.

That high temperature even distorted the surrounding air, making one feel a sense of suffocation.

The lotus flower whistled as it collided with Void Swallowing Flame, burning the air into a vacuum wherever it passed.

Void Swallowing Flame barely managed to condense a black wall of fire, yet it instantly collapsed under the impact of the lotus flower.

"Puff!"

Void Swallowing Flame was struck by the lotus flower, the immense impact force sending him flying backward, carving a charred arc through the air.

"Damn brat, how can you be this strong!"

Void Swallowing Flame shrieked miserably, his illusory body becoming even more unstable. Countless cracks spread across him, and black flames surged from his body like a tide.

This guy is about to die; he never expected that the Gu Fei before him had also reached the Emperor Realm Soul. "Heh, you know now, but it's too late!"

Gu Fei sneered and formed seals with his hands once again.

The wind and clouds between heaven and earth suddenly changed color, and an incomparably frigid aura permeated the area. Black clouds gathered and thunder roared, as if countless spirits were hissing and wailing within the clouds.

"Yellow Springs Heaven Wrath!"

Following Gu Fei's explosive shout, the scene between heaven and earth underwent a terrifying transformation.

Countless wronged spirits and fierce ghosts surged out from the black clouds, swarming toward Void Swallowing Flame like a blanket covering the sky. Their faces were hideous, their sharp claws and teeth glinting with a chilling light, their eyes filled with madness and resentment. The wronged spirits let out shrill screams, shaking heaven and earth with their agitation.

"Ahhh!!!"
