Chapter 134: The Arrival of Xiao Han
"What should we do?" Feng Huang's expression was very unsightly. She had originally thought that the Tianyao Three Phoenixes coming out this time was just to relax, and as for that so-called Langya Pavilion...
It was merely something to deal with along the way!
Yet she had not expected that, even though they had already overestimated their opponent, Langya Pavilion had still broken their estimates time and time again. Now, they were using just two Dou Sheng to drag them all here.
"Wait a little longer!" The Great Heavenly Venerable, whose face was so thin it looked like skin stretched over bone, glanced at Feng Huang, feeling quite disdainful inside. Was this... really the so-called Tianyao Three Phoenixes?
A bunch of bullies who pick on the weak! They only dared to come out and jump around now that the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan had gone into seclusion.
"Wait for what?" Feng Huang was stunned. Could it be that Soul Hall had other backup plans? Vaguely,
Feng Huang raised a guard against the Great Heavenly Venerable. As for the credibility of their "partners," she was quite "trusting."
"Ye Jianxin cannot hold on for much longer." The Great Heavenly Venerable's combat awareness finally played its part; he clearly sensed Ye Jianxin's impatience.
His heart relaxed. This Ye Jianxin's injuries had indeed not yet healed; otherwise, he would not be using such a fierce fighting style, going all out from the very start.
"So..." Feng Huang's beautiful eyes brightened.
"Drag it out!" The Great Heavenly Venerable spat out a single word. Although it was a pity they could not resolve the opponent head-on,
as long as they could win, that was enough. Who would care about the process?
Next,
the Great Heavenly Venerable and the others slowed down their attack rhythm. Feng Huang and the Great Heavenly Venerable intentionally dragged out Ye Jianxin's pace, while Gu You Shengzhe and Ying Huang engaged in a two-on-one against Tianyin Laoren.
On the surface, the battlefield where Ye Jianxin was located held the advantage, with one against two leaving the Great Heavenly Venerable and his companion in precarious situations, while Tianyin Laoren was slightly at a disadvantage.
In reality, Ye Jianxin's state could not last long. On the contrary, on Tianyin Laoren's side, as time dragged on, the situation was beginning to reverse.
Gu You Shengzhe, who was severely restricted, had gradually been reduced to a support role, relying entirely on the mid-stage One-Star Dou Sheng Ying Huang to lead the attack. However, Tianyin Laoren's cultivation was higher, and Ying Huang could not hold on for much longer either.
"Boom—"
Ye Jianxin clashed with the Great Heavenly Venerable and Feng Huang once again. The massive energy fluctuations directly stirred up a storm spanning several thousand zhang in the surroundings.
"Pfft—" Ye Jianxin steadied his figure, the Qi and blood within his body churning.
Just as he was about to suppress it,
that power within his body, which had been forcibly suppressed by Ye Jianxin, came out to disrupt things once again. Caught off guard for a moment,
a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
"Hmm?" In the distance, Tianyin Laoren frowned, thinking to himself that it was bad, guessing that Ye Jianxin's injuries must have flared up.
Just as the former wanted to assist him in stabilizing the situation, suddenly, a gust of wind struck from beside his ear.
Tianyin Laoren's expression was ugly. He lightly plucked the strings with his fingers, and silent sound waves were emitted, dissipating the attack. However, there was no look of relief on his face.
"Hehehe—Old Ghost Tianyin, don't even think about providing support. When Ye Jianxin dies, that will be the moment you perish." At this moment, Gu You Shengzhe's decaying voice came, the smugness in his tone undisguised.
Ye Jianxin also understood that the Great Heavenly Venerable and the others had changed their methods precisely to wait for this moment, and murderous intent burned fiercely in his eyes.
In the subsequent battle, Ye Jianxin tried several times to rendezvous with Tianyin Laoren, but was interrupted by the Great Heavenly Venerable and the others who had been prepared for it.
After nearly two hours passed like this, Ye Jianxin's momentum began to weaken, his breathing became labored, and suddenly, a flash of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.
"Ye Jianxin,
don't hold on any longer." When Ye Jianxin prepared to risk his life, Feng Huang's cold and arrogant tone appeared again. "Now that you are in a poor state, why must you fight us to the death? Must you really have us both perish together?"
Although Feng Huang was persuading him to surrender, her perception never left Ye Jianxin for a moment. The opponent was at his most dangerous right now; a trapped beast still fights. She had no confidence in surviving if Ye Jianxin fought for his life.
"What a pity..." Ye Jianxin appeared behind Feng Huang just like that, without a sound. "The net will break, but the fish will not die."
"Wind Sword—Flash Instant!" A swift sword Qi tore through space, piercing Feng Huang's body. This was a sword strike that condensed all of Ye Jianxin's essence, energy, and spirit; living toward death, seeking only to take one person down with him before he died.
Even though Feng Huang was a Magic Beast with a formidable physique, facing such sharp and peerless sword Qi, she had no choice but to meet her end. Between life and death, Feng Huang instead gave up defense and said fiercely: "Let's die together!"
Endless flames erupted from her body, directly wrapping around Ye Jianxin; it was clearly a tactic of mutual destruction.
At this critical moment, the Great Heavenly Venerable was no longer in a hurry. He could also see that these two were on the verge of both suffering heavy losses.
If Feng Huang and Ye Jianxin were to both die here today, Langya Pavilion and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan would definitely form an irreconcilable hatred.
This perfectly fit the interests of Soul Hall; he even had the script ready. During the battle, Langya Pavilion Great Elder Ye Jianxin ambushed Feng Huang, the leader of the Tianyao Three Phoenixes, and he, the Great Heavenly Venerable of Soul Hall, was unable to save her in time. The latter eventually fell in hatred, and he had no choice but to kill Ye Jianxin to avenge his ally.
Whether they believed it or not didn't matter; if the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes could swallow the loss of a Dou Sheng expert, then he would lose.
Therefore...
The Great Heavenly Venerable's expression was thick with murderous intent. For the sake of the clan's grand plan, Feng Huang could not live! Perhaps...
The Great Heavenly Venerable looked at Ying Huang again, the ghost fire in his pupils flickering repeatedly, pondering what would happen if he killed the latter as well?
At this time, Ying Huang, who was struggling to delay Tianyin Laoren and had no time to observe the battle here, suddenly felt his whole body turn cold, as if he were being stared at by something.
However, just as the Great Heavenly Venerable was full of anticipation, that voice that made the latter grit his teeth sounded: "Yo, you can't let them die so easily!"
"Su! Lin!" The Great Heavenly Venerable's whole body trembled, immediately entering the state of human-blade fusion, and then slashed directly toward Xiao Han.
"Get lost! I don't have time to mess around with you!" Facing that menacing attack, the lazy tone was instantly filled with murderous intent.
Immediately following, a giant energy hand swung out, knocking the massive bone blade ten thousand zhang away. The Great Heavenly Venerable's body was also struck out, covered in blood. A feeling of despair shrouded his heart.
"He is actually this strong?!" Shock, unwillingness, helplessness, and hatred intertwined, and then his vision went black, and he fainted from the rush of anger.
A figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield between Ye Jianxin and Feng Huang in the distance; it was Thunder Spirit.
Casually restraining the two who were at the end of their rope, he checked Ye Jianxin's physical condition. Thunder Spirit nodded toward Xiao Han and said: "Don't worry, he's fine!"
He incidentally channeled some life force into the unconscious Feng Huang on the side, keeping her life hanging by a thread. After all... the boss's wife had ordered that she wanted her alive!
"Next, it's you lot!" Since Ye Jianxin was fine, Xiao Han set his mind at ease and turned to look at the three people who had fallen into a stupor because of someone's sudden appearance.
"Heh~" Xiao Han gave a strange smile, reached out his hand, and made a grasping motion toward Gu You Shengzhe and Ying Huang.
"Not good, retreat quickly!" The two looked at each other, a huge sense of crisis emerging in their hearts, and prepared to tear through the void to escape.
However, the next moment, they discovered with horror that their bodies could no longer move, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"You brat, you finally came!" Tianyin Laoren laughed, flashed and appeared in front of Xiao Han, his words filled with resentment.
"Thank you very much for your help, old man, this time." Xiao Han didn't mind at all and laughed. During the time he hadn't returned, if not for Tianyin Laoren's help, although nothing major would have happened, the losses to Langya Pavilion would have been great.
"You brat, no need to be so polite." Tianyin Laoren said casually, then revealed a hint of grievance, "And, do you not know who that guy is?"
He signaled to Ye Jianxin with his eyes.
