Chapter 366: A Wealthy Battle, A Gang Beating
Under the gaze of the crowd, four streaks of light passed through the magma vortex and slowly revealed their forms. The leader was dressed in a purple-gold dragon robe, his brow majestic, and every gesture exuded the intense aura of a superior.
"Hun Tiandi, that is the name, right!" The middle-aged man in the dragon robe twisted his neck, stretched his body, and then turned his gaze toward the bewildered Hun Tiandi, saying indifferently.
"Who are you..." Hun Tiandi frowned and stared at the middle-aged man in the dragon robe before him, constantly replaying his past memories in his mind, but having no impression at all, so he had to ask politely.
It was not that the former was humble and polite, but that the other party's aura, as vast as an abyss, was completely on par with his own, not to mention the strangers behind him.
Although he did not recognize one of them, whose aura was almost non-existent, the other two were the great senior Tianyun Elder and the Puppet Saint who had recently shaken the Central Plains; how could those who could walk alongside them be mediocre!
These four were clearly a group, and if they really angered the other party, it would definitely be adding frost to snow for the current situation of the Soul Clan.
"The feeling of being forgotten is truly disgusting!" Hearing Hun Tiandi's inquiry, the middle-aged man sighed and shook his head.
"This Emperor is the former Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon, Zhu Kun!"
Immediately, the middle-aged man's aura surged, and his voice entered the ears of everyone on the battlefield.
Just as Hun Tiandi was immersed in the shock brought by Zhu Kun's words, the latter's next words immediately made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Hun Tiandi?"
"The name is quite domineering, and your schemes and calculations are not bad either."
"It is your honor to be able to have that brat Xiao Han move this Emperor to personally take action and kill you!"
"Xiao Han?"
"Are you one of Xiao Han's people?" Hun Tiandi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"That is not the case; this Emperor and he are merely in a temporary cooperative relationship." Zhu Kun shook his head slightly.
But Hun Tiandi could not care about that; he quietly looked around. Another Nine-Star Dou Sheng no weaker than him, plus Xiao Xuan who had not yet appeared...
Two against four!
Hun Tiandi prepared to withdraw. As long as the Tuoshe Ancient God Jade remained in his hands, he could remain invincible. If he survived today's calamity and hid for a few decades, this loose alliance would soon fall apart.
By then, relying on the Tuoshe Ancient God Jade in his hand, pulling one group and hitting another, the advantage would be his!
"Hun Tiandi, now that things have reached this point, do you still not understand?" Just as Hun Tiandi was rapidly calculating his escape route in his mind, a voice, whether mocking or helpless, interrupted his train of thought.
"Xiao Xuan?!" The voice, familiar to the marrow of his bones, made Hun Tiandi suddenly sober up. He laughed at himself as if he had figured it out:
"Yes, with your calculations..."
"How could you possibly let me escape alive!"
At this moment, Hun Tiandi knew that his path to survival had been completely blocked.
"Why, do you intend for me to surrender without a fight?" Hun Tiandi glanced at Xiao Xuan from the corner of his eye and said.
"I have never thought of such a futile effort," Xiao Xuan said calmly, his scorching Dou Qi slowly rising from his body, roasting the surrounding moisture to nothing.
"Hahaha..."
Hun Tiandi laughed wantonly and wildly, and then his aura changed, his voice carrying intense unwillingness and determination.
"Even if I die today, I will definitely not let you off easily."
A monstrous blood aura erupted, and the force of the wind surged. Everyone present, except for the few Nine-Star Dou Sheng, involuntarily retreated several steps.
"Not good!" Everyone's expression changed drastically, "Attack!"
"Dragon Emperor Seal!" Zhu Kun's original ease had vanished without a trace. His palm suddenly turned into a dragon claw, condensing a light seal engraved with strange patterns. His figure leaped, and in the next instant, he appeared in front of Hun Tiandi.
"Jie jie jie~"
Just as the light seal was about to touch Hun Tiandi, the latter suddenly raised his head. His blood-colored eyes swept over Zhu Kun without emotion, and then he chuckled a few times without warning, nearly causing Zhu Kun's ten-thousand-year state of mind to collapse.
"Boom!"
Hun Tiandi smashed down with a punch, his face expressionless. The light seal in Zhu Kun's palm shattered inch by inch, turning into specks of fluorescent light that dissipated into the heavens and earth. He himself retreated several steps under this immense force, stepping out cracks in the space. After stabilizing his figure, he looked at the drastically changed Hun Tiandi with trepidation.
"Too slow! Too weak!" Hun Tiandi smacked his lips as if savoring the moment, saying with great regret.
"Since that is the case, then you all go to hell!"
Hun Tiandi's figure paused, then suddenly disappeared. The same punch fell toward Xiao Han. Hun Tiandi knew full well who the culprit was that had caused his entire plan to fail.
Before he died, he would drag this enemy down with him.
Just at this moment...
"Barbarian King Golden Body!"
"Clang~" "Boom!"
The golden streak of light smashed heavily into the ground, dust rose, and the area for a thousand miles around Jia Nan Academy was suddenly turned into a deep pit.
"It seems I still underestimated your abilities!"
Hun Tiandi's strike failed, but he felt no disappointment, only a moment of astonishment. He quickly recovered, glanced at the golden figure that had swiftly leaped out of the pit, and looked at Xiao Han, whose expression had remained unchanged from beginning to end, sighing.
The only ones who could take a blow from him now so lightly were Nine-Star Dou Sheng-level Body Cultivators. Such existences had never been heard of in the past thousand years, yet now they had been invited out by Xiao Han.
"Your turtle shell is quite sturdy." Ignoring Hun Tiandi's exclamation, Xiao Han glanced casually at the shirtless Huang Jingtian; that brilliant golden light was far stronger than it had been before.
The fact that the other party could take a blow from Hun Tiandi head-on and remain unscathed also intuitively reflected the defensive power of this golden body. Xiao Han reckoned that if the two fought again, the only effective means would likely be sealing; otherwise, nine times out of ten, they wouldn't even be able to break the defense.
"Now is not the time to argue about this," Huang Jingtian said solemnly, staring vigilantly at Hun Tiandi, who was surrounded by the four in the center not far away.
"This guy seems to be planning to perish with us!"
If it were the former Hun Tiandi, wanting to achieve this would be pure wishful thinking, but having burned his soul, Dou Qi, and all his essence blood, his strength had skyrocketed, and he did indeed have a chance.
However, it was impossible for everyone to let the former achieve this.
Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, Xiao Han, Huang Jingtian—two Nine-Star Late Stage, one Mid-Stage with extraordinary combat power, and one Early-Stage with peerless defense. If this lineup of four were to be wiped out, it would become the biggest joke.
They exchanged glances, and then...
"Attack!"
Five streaks of light collided heavily together, and with one strike, the sky collapsed...
Another battlefield.
"Xuwu Swallowing Flame, choose how you want to die," Xiao Xuan said indifferently, looking at the tense man in black.
"Xiao Xuan, don't you want to know the secret of the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion?"
"Spare me, and I can help you obtain the Emperor Grade Pill and advance to Dou Di."
Xuwu Swallowing Flame still wanted to save himself; after all, his years of scheming were for this, and at the same time, he believed that in the face of the secret to becoming a Dou Di, no one would remain unmoved.
"Dou Di?" Xiao Xuan looked at Xuwu Swallowing Flame strangely.
Just as Xuwu Swallowing Flame felt relieved, thinking that this matter would pass just like that...
"I am clear about the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill and the Ancient God Inheritance."
"The Tuoshe Ancient God Jade is in our hands..."
Ignoring Xuwu Swallowing Flame's increasingly pale complexion, Xiao Xuan asked the final question, "What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms?"
"Damn it!" he cursed inwardly.
Without replying, Xuwu Swallowing Flame swept his peripheral vision across the heated battlefield; the situation was clear at a glance—after today, the Soul Clan would surely be wiped from the Dou Qi Continent by the various factions.
"Since it has come to this, then don't blame me, Hun Tiandi," Xuwu Swallowing Flame said to himself.
"Xiao Xuan, goodbye, see you in the next life!"
"Hahahaha..." Amidst his loud laughter, Xuwu Swallowing Flame transformed into countless black flames and fled in all directions; a Nine-Star Dou Saint Mid Stage Xiao Xuan could not stop him, Xuwu Swallowing Flame.
"Sigh!"
"Why bother!" Looking at the pitch-black flames scattering in all directions, Xiao Xuan shook his head in regret.
After only a few seconds, a desolate scream from Xuwu Swallowing Flame came from afar; at this moment, one could faintly see endless, dense runes appearing in the void within a ten-thousand-zhang radius of Jia Nan Academy, and the black flames transformed by Xuwu Swallowing Flame seemed to be imprisoned by a cage, able only to spin within a three-foot range.
"Xiao Han's formation truly has some merit," Xiao Xuan thought relaxedly, toying with a palm-sized jade disc in his hand.
