Chapter 510: Let's Die Together

The crowd heard the words and exchanged glances.

They showed hesitation, clearly torn over whether to release Xie Zixu for Yuan Yao's safety.

But letting Xie Zixu go this time is like releasing a tiger back to the mountains!

Suddenly, an anomaly erupted—

A young disciple rushed at Xie Zixu, brandishing a blade to strike!

"No!" As the Immortals reacted, they saw the young disciple smashed to the ground by Xie Zixu's sword, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

In that instant, the Formless Immortal struck, closing in on Xie Zixu, slamming a palm at his shoulder, then snatching Yuan Yao, who was being held by Xie Zixu, out of his grasp!

It all happened far too quickly!

When she turned, she saw the Heaven-Responding Immortal and other Immortals swarming toward Xie Yan's direction, striking mercilessly, seeking his life!

Almost simultaneously, the Formless Immortal placed a palm on Yuan Yao's back—not to kill, but with an irresistible force that thrust her forward, hurling her toward the direction where Song Yan and others stood, blasting her out of the murderous battlefield.

Yuan Yao's body lurched violently, her qi and blood churning, about to fall clumsily to the ground.

At the critical moment, two solid arms steadily caught her.

"Yuan Yao, you're insane!" Cang Li's voice trembled with uncontainable anger and sorrow; he stared at Yuan Yao, his gaze sharp as a blade, clearly having already seen the brief yet tacit coordination between her and Xie Zixu, which was obviously helping him escape!

Yuan Yao's chest tightened, and before she could explain, a deafening explosion roared nearby, waves of pressure rolling, smoke billowing.

She jerked her head up, her heart sinking sharply!

She saw Xie Yan pierced in the chest by Xu Yan's sword; the boy's lips dripped scarlet blood, his strikingly handsome face turned deathly pale, brows knit, evidently in great pain.

At the same time, several other Immortals slammed their palms hard at him.

Her pupils contracted slightly.

Yuan Yao was about to act, but Cang Li and Xue Jin held her tightly.

"You're insane!" Cang Li muttered angrily.

Xue Jin, seeing the close bond between Yuan Yao and Xie Zixu, frowned and said gravely, "You must not go!"

Xiao Lingwei, Song Yan, and the newly arrived Ying Wuji also sensed Yuan Yao's deep private connection with Xie Zixu.

Ying Wuji froze.

At that moment—

"Boom!" a massive sound rang out, and several Immortals were knocked back several steps.

The blood‑smeared boy's hair crown shattered, his fiery red curls fluttering in the wind; he slightly lifted his eyes, a bone‑chilling cold in his gaze, and let out a faint laugh.

"Are you sure you want to put me to death?"

Before the words finished, the aura of power around him surged, and the previously sealed demonic energy swept the entire Floating Capital arena like a raging storm.

Boom—

The Immortals flinched slightly.

Xie Zixu actually possessed Body Integration Realm power!

He raised his right hand to wipe the blood from his mouth corner, lifted his left, and a wholly crimson, oddly patterned demonic sword settled in his palm.

He said with a half‑smile, "Then let's die together."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Everyone turned pale with shock; the low‑level Cultivators had already been blasted, spitting blood nonstop and even fainting from the terrifying impact.

The remaining Immortals, seeing this, immediately combined to erect a defensive barrier.

The boy, alone, faced the Immortals, attacking them as if his life mattered not, especially targeting the Formless Immortal.

At that moment, Lu Xiangxiang stood at a distance, his gaze fixed on the battle.

If the madman Xie Yan died, her and Yan Zhi's path to ascension would face no major obstacles.

Simultaneously, Qian Yunzhou slightly raised an eyebrow, watching the scene with interest; then, as if recalling something, he turned his head and saw Yuan Yao's face full of worry.

The smile at Qian Yunzhou's mouth faded a bit.

Yuan Xiaoliu, is this how much you care about him?

Meanwhile, Yuan Yao frantically contemplated how to break this deadly stalemate!

What exactly should she do?

To save his life!

And also dispel the Immortals' murderous intent without implicating the Carefree Sect!

Yuan Yao watched Xie Yan fall repeatedly, yet each time he rose swiftly, counterattacking the Immortals.

The boy, drenched in blood and in a wretched state, had cold, hateful eyes, but his lips perpetually held a chilling smile.

Each swing of his sword burned his life force.

His face was almost entirely smeared with blood.

"I will save him," Yuan Yao suddenly said.

Song Yan and the others instantly changed expression.

Before Cang Li could scold her, Ying Wuji spoke, "How do you intend to save him?"

Cang Li and the others stared at Ying Wuji in astonishment, their eyes seeming to say, "You've gone mad too!"

"Master, I'm being bullied," Yuan Yao produced a transmission talisman.

Ying Wuji also produced a transmission talisman, "Master, Yao Yao is being bullied."

Cang Li: "!!!"

He roared inside, "Are you two out of your minds?!"

Before Cang Li and the others could speak, Yuan Yao swiftly broke a corner of the defensive barrier, dragging Ying Wuji inside.

This scene fell into the eyes of many onlookers.

Lu Xiangxiang's eyelid jerked suddenly.

What are these two scoundrels going to do?!

"Yuan Yao—" Lu Xiangxiang deliberately shouted.

She made everyone in the venue notice Yuan Yao's presence.

Yuan Yao ignored Lu Xiangxiang and swiftly laid a sealing array.

She used blood from her fingertips to quickly sketch a patterned totem.

The Formless Immortal Lord naturally also noticed the presence of Yuan Yao and the other, and he roared, "Get out!"

As soon as the words fell, he was cut by Xie Yan with a sword, blood splattering.

He winced in pain, his brows furrowing.

Enraged, the Formless Immortal Lord swung his sword, and the surging force instantly hurled Xie Yan away, sending him crashing to the ground.

Boom!

"Half‑breed monster, today I will annihilate your very form and spirit!" The Formless Immortal Lord pressed forward step by step, his voice icy and bone‑piercing.

He raised his divine sword high; in an instant, a terrifying, unparalleled power condensed on the blade, the surrounding air seemed twisted by it, and the ground began to crack inch by inch.

A blade of power refined to the extreme, bearing a world‑shattering might, thundered toward the fallen Xie Yan!

Boom—

Amid the deafening roar, the ground split in response, a massive chasm bottomless in depth appeared before everyone, dust billowing, its power terrifying!

Everyone thought Xie Yan was certainly dead.

"Maze Relocation Array!"

At that hair‑trigger moment, Yuan Yao's cold voice rang out.

In the shocked, bewildered gazes of the crowd, beside the dust‑filled chasm, Xie Yan's figure vanished into thin air!

The next instant, he staggered into the array before Yuan Yao, half‑kneeling in a pitiful state, the wound on his chest rupturing again, blood gushing out, staining the ground before him crimson.

Before Xie Yan could react, Yuan Yao leaned forward and, without hesitation, thrust the fingertip that had just gathered the array's spiritual energy and her own vital blood into his brow!

In that instant, her fingertip erupted with an unusually dazzling golden light, warm and powerful, instantly sinking into Xie Yan's brow.

She slightly bowed her head, gazing tightly at his blood‑smeared face, and said each word clearly and solemnly: "Xie Yan, I, Yuan Yao, today bind you with blood, establishing a master‑servant contract. From now on, I am the master, you are the servant. You… would you agree?"
