Chapter 955: Flawless Emperor!

Ye Qingran, who stood to the side witnessing everything, had no expression on her face, but her heart was filled with emotion.

Five Nirvana Emperors—such power is terrifying!

One must know that in the Profound and Vast, the Human Emperor is already peak combat strength; as the Spiritual Realm, which is relatively weak in this Xuyu world, yet having so many Nirvana Emperors shows its overall strength.

"Gōngzhǎng, this Yun Zhonghe is after all a member of our Wànlíng Xuégōng; we can't just leave him be," an Elder of the academy whispered in Wan Zifeng's ear.

"You're right," Wan Zifeng agreed, "but if they have sufficient reason, our academy can't protect him either!"

That Elder quite agreed.

If it were another family, perhaps it would be fine, but who let Yun Zhonghe provoke the two strongest families of the Spiritual Realm; even if the academy could protect him for a while, it could not protect him forever.

"I don't know what wrong he committed, why are you two treating him like this?" Wan Zifeng still stood up.

"Wan Zifeng Gōngzhǎng, this person attempted to murder my son Ling Qiye but failed; if he is not punished, once word gets out, wouldn't anyone be able to bully my Ling family members?"

Ling Family Head said with a fake smile.

"Besides, this person abducted the Domain Lord's daughter and imprisoned her; based on this crime alone, it's enough to exterminate his entire clan. Domain Lord, you say it's so, right?"

Lu Hongwei nodded, "Ling Family Head is correct; I, the Lord, must capture this person today and bring him back to the main city for trial!"

"Is that so?" Wan Zifeng had a faint smile on his face, "but I see that your daughter and Yun Zhonghe seem to have a good relationship; they don't look like she was abducted."

Lu Hongwei narrowed his eyes, "That's because he used underhanded methods!"

"I see," Wan Zifeng nodded in understanding, though he felt helpless inside.

As the saying goes, 'If one wants to accuse someone, what lack of excuse is there?' Lu Hongwei, as the Domain Master of the Spiritual Realm, regardless of whether Yun Zhonghe truly has guilt, wants to arrest him—who could stop him?

Today, even he cannot protect Yun Zhonghe.

The five Nirvana Emperors surrounded Yun Zhonghe in the middle, releasing terrifying pressure; the imperial aura's radiance rose high, brilliant and dazzling, like the light of the celestial bodies, making it impossible to stare directly.

Although Yun Zhonghe is also at the Nirvana Realm, his radiance is now clearly suppressed, leaving him isolated and helpless.

"A He!" Lu Qiqi saw this, her heart sank, and she instinctively wanted to run toward Yun Zhonghe, but Lu Hongwei restrained her, leaving her standing in place, unable to move.

"Father, please, let him go!" Lu Qiqi pleaded with her gaze at Lu Hongwei.

"Shut up!" Lu Hongwei shouted angrily.

Yun Zhonghe looked at Lu Qiqi, his sword brows furrowed, "Qiqi, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

As his words fell, the Death God's Scythe, suffused with deathly aura, appeared again in his hand, and his eyes turned black once more, as if the Death God had descended.

"Mother, shouldn't we make a move yet? Great Uncle can't beat these people," Xiaohu Xiaocheng said anxiously.

Their auras are so strong; if Father were here, they'd hardly be worth a look, but Great Uncle's strength isn't as great as Father's, so he can't beat them.

Ye Qingran shook her head and comforted, "Don't rush, Great Uncle isn't as weak as you imagine!"

Ye Qingran would naturally not stand by and watch her Uncle be taken away by the Ling Family and Lu Clan, but beforehand she also wanted to see where Uncle's limits lay; his earlier fight with A Nu had not unleashed his full potential.

The five Nirvana Emperors exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously; their varied assaults were dazzling, all aimed at Yun Zhonghe.

An ordinary person facing the attacks of five Nirvana Emperors would likely have retreated already, but Yun Zhonghe showed no intention to retreat; his handsome face was full of solemnity, he raised the Death God's Scythe high, and suddenly a huge phantom appeared, enveloping him.

The attacks of the five Nirvana Emperors smashed down, striking the phantom and shattering it, yet they failed to injure Yun Zhonghe in the slightest.

"So strong!"

Even just a single exchange, everyone present felt Yun Zhonghe's strength was great—at least stronger than any of the Nirvana Emperors surrounding him; if this battle weren't outnumbered, Yun Zhonghe would surely win.

The five attacks were blocked, and the five Nirvana Emperors were stunned, seemingly not expecting Yun Zhonghe's strength to be this great; they began to take him seriously, and their subsequent strikes became more fierce.

Unbeknownst to them, the two sides had already exchanged dozens of blows, yet Yun Zhonghe had not been defeated, far exceeding everyone's expectations.

Ling Family Head and Lu Hongwei both frowned in dissatisfaction.

The five Nirvana Emperors have still not managed to capture Yun Zhonghe after all this time!

"Don't delay any longer, hurry!" Lu Hongwei's voice reached the ears of the five Nirvana Emperors; they all responded in unison, and similar auras flowed over their bodies.

Ye Qingran sized them up, silvery-white energy wandering over their bodies like lightning.

"This is... a formation!"

A flash of dark light crossed Ye Qingran's eyes as she sneered, "Forcing five Nirvana Emperors to resort to a formation—no wonder Uncle is truly formidable!"

However, the five Nirvana Emperors were already extraordinary; now, having jointly formed a formation, their strength has leapt qualitatively—can Uncle still hold out?

The formation gradually took shape.

Amidst the sky-filling lightning, howling winds gave birth to a giant hand out of thin air, like the hand of a heavenly deity, containing boundless power, as if it could suppress everything.

Yun Zhonghe was enveloped by that giant hand, with no way to escape.

"My heavens, so strong!"

Everyone's hearts trembled; they imagined that if it were them facing the five great Nirvana Emperors instead of Yun Zhonghe, the outcome would undoubtedly be a miserable death.

"Yun Zhonghe probably can't withstand it!"

"Indeed, after all, it's a formation jointly activated by the five Nirvana Emperors; only the realm of the Flawless Emperor could possibly resolve it!"

In everyone's view, Yun Zhonghe could not possibly withstand this move.

Beneath the giant hand, Yun Zhonghe slightly tilted his head, the giant hand reflected in his dark pupils.

His aura then sank, the Death God's Scythe in his hand emitted a hum, a black power surged on its surface; the next instant, the space around his body twisted, and a huge phantom appeared.

The black phantom wore a black cloak, its form indiscernible, yet utterly mysterious; in its hand it likewise held a black Death God's Scythe, but many times larger.

Seeing this, everyone's gazes froze.

Even if this phantom had done nothing yet, its sheer aura was enough to make one feel invincible.

Ye Qingran's eyes lit up, "Is this Uncle's true strength?"

"Mother, Great Uncle is so strong!"

Xiaohu Xiaocheng looked delighted.

"Soul Harvest!"

A murmur slipped from Yun Zhonghe's lips; the huge phantom went toward the giant hand above his head, and at the same time the scythe of death in his hand swung out suddenly, a huge black arc of light flashed across the void.

Rip—

Along with a sound like tearing cloth sprinkling down from the Celestial Dome above, it reached the ears, yet had a deafening effect.

The huge hand halted, and in the solemn expressions of the five Nirvana Emperors, a hint of shock appeared.

The next moment...

Crack—crack—

A faint cracking sound came; everyone focused their gaze and saw cracks appear on the surface of the huge hand, spreading like spider silk.

At the same time, the huge black cloak phantom began to crack; when the cracks covered the whole body, a burst of black light erupted, and in an instant it fell like pottery and shattered into countless pieces!

The terrifying power collapsed and disintegrated, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Pfft~

All five Nirvana Emperors suffered backlash, shaken back by an invisible force, and each spat out a mouthful of blood.

As for Yun Zhonghe, he was no better off; when the black cloak phantom shattered, his body staggered, his formerly upright posture bending over as blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

That brief exchange seemed evenly matched, but in fact Yun Zhonghe won easily.

After all, he alone matched the five Nirvana Emperors in formation to a draw, and this terrifying power could almost be deemed godlike.

Seeing Yun Zhonghe spit blood, Ye Qingran furrowed her brows and whispered, "It seems my great-uncle has reached his limit."

Not to mention that even with his great-uncle's strength alone he could not defeat the five great Nirvana Emperors; even if he could, the Ling and Lu families still have so many experts, leaving him nowhere to flee.

"Trash!" the Ling Family Head muttered, giving a glance to the white-haired elder beside him; the elder nodded in response, then flickered and hovered in midair.

A vast aura flowed down from him, a pressure more terrifying than that of a Nirvana Emperor enveloping the entire Wànlíng Academy and even the whole Wànlíng City.

"This is... the Flawless Emperor?!"
