Chapter 229

The power of three "Blazing Light Daylight" emblems stacked together was too strong.

Hu Changyan's only sixth-tier defensive emblem had just raised its radiance when it was annihilated in an instant.

The next instant, an umbrella-shaped star artifact suddenly lit up with brilliant starlight, protecting Hu Changyan's entire body.

But in just a moment, this umbrella-shaped star artifact began to melt rapidly under the Blazing Light Daylight!

Seeing this, the sixth-tier expert Hu Fu, who had just been injured by the Blazing Light Daylight, had his expression change drastically. The next instant, a look of determination flashed in Hu Fu's eyes. Using a fourth-tier star artifact to clear the way, he channeled all the star power in his body into defense and charged toward the Young Master Hu Changyan, who was still struggling bitterly within the Blazing Light Daylight.

He had to save him!

He would save him even at the cost of being severely injured!

Seeing this scene, both Magic Arrow Mo Ji and Qi Shanye secretly cried out that it was bad.

On this point, Xu Jin was unsure.

That scoundrel Hu Xuechuan was dead, but he might have brought them an even bigger problem.

One could imagine the identity of a youth who could be protected at close range by a peak sixth-tier expert!

Kill or let go?

In the blink of an eye, Qi Shanye made his decision.

He couldn't let him go!

Since they were already at this point, letting him go would be even more troublesome.

Especially since he was using the super-strong emblems provided by Xu Jin.

This was a dangerous factor that could threaten the safety of his own disciple.

No witnesses could be left alive!

The next instant, just as Hu Fu was about to charge into the Blazing Light Daylight, a massive divine soul fluctuation rose instantly. Hu Fu, who was about to force his way into the Blazing Light Daylight, suddenly stiffened, and blood sprayed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose simultaneously.

Hu Fu's eyes instantly lost focus!

At that same instant, Qi Shanye smashed another fifth-tier supreme emblem directly at Hu Fu.

Qi Shanye had been on the run for so many years; he was absolutely a person of decisive killing.

A sixth-tier expert.

No need to save anything!

Facing a peak sixth-tier expert, if one dared to save resources, the outcome might be death and destruction.

The next instant, terrifying golden light like a golden rainbow shattered Hu Fu's fourth-tier star artifact, then broke through layers of defense, and blasted toward Hu Fu's chest.

At the same instant, arrow light flashed and arrived.

The moment it appeared, it flashed right in front of Hu Fu.

Void-Breaking!

It was Magic Arrow Mo Ji attacking at the same time.

And it was an all-out attack at that.

Even more coincidentally, this Void-Breaking shot followed the path opened by the emblem Qi Shanye had just blasted out.

It looked like it was about to completely shatter Hu Fu's chest.

But at this critical moment, Hu Fu suddenly woke up from Qi Shanye's divine soul attack. As the starlight exploded, his body twisted strangely, shifting half a meter to the left, instantly avoiding Magic Arrow Mo Ji's fatal blow, though half his shoulder was taken away by the arrow.

Instantly severely injured!

Magic Arrow Mo Ji and Qi Shanye were horrified!

To be able to avoid a fatal blow in such a situation, he was truly worthy of being a sixth-tier expert.

Almost at the same time, the hidden Qi Shanye launched another divine soul attack.

But this time, it missed.

Hu Fu had shifted his position at the same time Qi Shanye attacked.

"Lingji remnant!"

These four words, spat out from between Hu Fu's teeth, were dripping with blood!

The next instant, Hu Fu charged toward the Blazing Light Daylight again!

Whoosh!

Void-Breaking arrived again!

This time, Hu Fu was helpless and forced to stop, but the moment he stopped, he realized something.

Qi Shanye had already appeared silently not far to his left.

Next came another divine soul attack!

And not far away, Young Master Hu Changyan's protective star artifact had already begun to collapse!

Hu Fu knew that at this very moment, he could only save one!

Save the Young Master or save himself!

Saving himself would also allow him to avenge the Young Master.

But the Young Master would definitely die!

If he saved the Young Master, the Young Master might live, but he himself might not!

The moment this thought flashed through his mind, Hu Fu made his decision instinctively!

With a flick of his hand, he blasted the only two fifth-tier emblems and another star artifact he had toward the distant Blazing Light Daylight cluster.

Almost the moment the emblems and star artifact were launched, a massive divine soul attack arrived. Hu Fu's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose sprayed blood again, his gaze suddenly became unfocused, and he lost his focus for a moment!

This time, Magic Arrow Mo Ji also timed it perfectly!

The arrow light blasted out instantly.

Void-Breaking!

The moment it blasted out, it flashed and drilled into the huge wound on Hu Fu's shoulder like a venomous snake!

Bang!

Injury upon injury!

Hu Fu's entire left chest exploded into a blood mist!

Cyan starlight gushed from Qi Shanye's hand and also blasted into Hu Fu's exploded left chest, while simultaneously, he added another divine soul blast!

Void-Breaking blasted again!

The next instant, Hu Fu's entire chest was blasted into powder by Qi Shanye's cyan starlight, and at the same instant, Magic Arrow Mo Ji's Void-Breaking arrow light suddenly took a turn.

Following the wound on Hu Fu's chest, it drilled upward and directly into Hu Fu's neck!

Bang!

Hu Fu's head exploded directly from the inside!

After three breaths of consumption, plus the consumption of the two emblems and star artifact Hu Fu had blasted out at the end, the power of the three stacked Blazing Light Daylights finally dissipated.

Hu Changyan, whose armor and skin were scorched, had originally thought he would surely die, but he had unexpectedly survived.

Looking at the dissipating Blazing Light Daylight and the miserably dead Hu Fu, Hu Changyan had only one thought—run!

He turned and flashed away in an instant, and while fleeing, he didn't forget to add a fourth-tier speed emblem to himself.

But just as he took out the emblem, Qi Shanye appeared silently in front of Hu Changyan.

A massive divine soul power rose.

In an instant, Hu Changyan sprayed blood from his seven orifices, stood frozen in place, his starlight dissipated, and he fell toward the ground.

The sharp whistling sound of the air being pierced had just rung out when the Void-Breaking arrow light blasted into the back of Hu Changyan's head like a venomous snake.

Bang!

Hu Changyan's head exploded like a watermelon!

"Refreshing!"

Behind him, Magic Arrow Mo Ji laughed heartily, "Old Qi, fighting with you is just refreshing!"

Qi Shanye chuckled. Back when the Lingji Star Palace still existed, they fought together and could often overcome the strong with the weak.

However, this was the first time they had joined forces to kill a peak sixth-tier expert.

Their strongest previous record was just severely injuring a mid-sixth-tier expert through their combined efforts.

Moreover, the reason they were able to kill Hu Fu today was mainly because this sixth-tier expert's focus was on saving someone, not on fighting.

In order to save Hu Changyan, he had abandoned his defense.

That was what gave them the opportunity to kill him.

Otherwise, while severely injuring him would be easy, killing him would be extremely difficult!

"You think—"

Old Qi had just chuckled with self-satisfaction when he suddenly saw a wisp of blood light, between void and reality, rise from Hu Changyan's corpse, but this blood light was emitting divine soul fluctuations!

Almost at the same time, Old Qi's expression changed drastically!

As soon as the divine soul fluctuation rose, he intended to blast this blood light away.

Old Qi reacted quickly, but the blood light was faster.

The next instant, as if it had found its target, the blood light lunged out, like a blood-colored lightning bolt, and blasted directly into Magic Arrow Mo Ji's body.

The speed was extremely fast!

Magic Arrow Mo Ji didn't even have time to react before the blood light lunged into his body and disappeared.

Magic Arrow Mo Ji's expression suddenly froze, his face full of astonishment.

At the same instant, the brilliant starlight on the Star-Plucking Tower branch standing high in the sky suddenly retracted completely, becoming plain and unadorned, and Xu Jin stepped out of the branch.

The moment Xu Jin stepped out, he happened to see the blood-colored lightning bolt blast into Uncle-Master Mo Ji's body. But Uncle-Master Mo Ji looked like nothing had happened, except his expression was a bit strange.

Qi Shanye's expression, however, changed drastically.

"Teacher, Uncle-Master, what was that blood-colored lightning just now?" Xu Jin asked in surprise.

A bitter look appeared on Qi Shanye's face, and Magic Arrow Mo Ji also smiled bitterly.

"Well, I guess I've hit the jackpot."

"My trouble has been resolved, but I didn't expect to have brought you a big trouble instead!" Qi Shanye smiled bitterly.

He had just killed Hu Xuechuan, and even the Star-Fixing Disk that Hu Xuechuan used to track his whereabouts had been completely destroyed, but he didn't expect...

Xu Jin was puzzled.

"That blood-colored lightning just now is also known as the Blood Soul Guide! It is a means that only some powerful seventh-tier and above experts can use to protect their juniors and deter enemies from daring to kill their blood descendants!

If a blood descendant protected by the Blood Soul Guide is killed, the person who dealt the killing blow will be marked by the Blood Soul Guide's backlash!

It's a fight to the death!"

After finishing, Qi Shanye smiled bitterly again, "And the marking and positioning of this Blood Soul Guide is much more ruthless than the Star-Fixing Disk!

No matter where you are, even if you are tens of thousands of miles away, it can provide a clear directional guide."

Xu Jin, who had just refined and taken control of this Star-Plucking Tower branch, was stunned.

Magic Arrow Mo Ji slowly put away his bow and also smiled bitterly, "This grandson is also a pitfall! You should have revealed your identity earlier; if I had known he was protected by the Blood Soul Guide, I would have just knocked him out and thrown him to the beasts to eat, and wouldn't there have been no such trouble!"

Qi Shanye also smiled bitterly.

"Is there no way to resolve it?"

Magic Arrow Mo Ji slowly shook his head.

"A fight to the death!

Or, this person's elder gives up the pursuit or is killed!" Qi Shanye smiled bitterly.

The next instant, Magic Arrow Mo Ji suddenly let out a long sigh, "Just living on the run! It's not like I haven't fled before; I've already been on the run for twenty years, so I'm not afraid of another twenty.

Alright, we don't have much time left.

If we don't want to be wiped out in one go, we must leave here immediately, and then split up!"

"No!"

Qi Shanye's expression became even more bitter, "Previously, Hu Xuechuan's tracking of me was just a vague positioning, and invisibility was effective! But this Blood Soul Guide, even invisibility is useless..."

"Do you want to be wiped out in one go? Hurry up! Quickly retract the Star-Plucking Tower!"

As he spoke, Magic Arrow Mo Ji began to clean up the battlefield first, layers of star power sweeping over to destroy possible traces of the battle, while Qi Shanye directly looted the corpses.

"This sixth-tier expert is a pauper... this young master is quite wealthy, but he used it all up. A few tens of thousands of gold notes, I guess that counts as a harvest." Qi Shanye was somewhat dispirited!

Xu Jin frowned, but he channeled the Spirit of the Zhai Xing Lou of this Star-Plucking Tower. The next instant, amidst a violent tremor, the Star-Plucking Tower rose from the ground, shrank in an instant, and then hid inside Xu Jin's body and disappeared.

"I just heard that this kid's surname is Hu, right?" Qi Shanye asked suddenly.

"Seems so."

"Within the Tianyang Star Palace, there are many experts with the surname Hu, and there are also several seventh-tier experts. The strongest and most famous is the Second Elder of the Tianyang Star Palace, Hu Zhen... he is an eighth-tier..."

Qi Shanye smiled bitterly.

Magic Arrow Mo Ji's expression, however, became even more despondent!

Inside a great hall within the palace complex of the Tianyang Star Palace main hall, an old man who was cultivating suddenly opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, two streaks of starlight projected straight toward the courtyard where Hu Changyan lived.

The next instant, starlight descended, and Hu Zhen appeared in Hu Changyan's courtyard.

"Where is Changyan?"

A sharp shout awakened all the sleeping servants, guards, stewards, and concubines, numbering over fifty people.

In an instant, they rushed into the courtyard and knelt on the ground in a flurry.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!"

"I am asking you, where is Changyan!"

The steward raised his head tremblingly and said, "Reporting to Old Ancestor, Young Master left half an hour ago with Mr. Hu Fu, and did not say where he was going!"

"Left!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Zhen felt a dizziness before his eyes, and his body swayed violently.

That is to say, the Blood Soul Guide on Changyan really was triggered, not on someone else; his intuition was correct!

Suppressing his anger, Hu Zhen asked again, "Do you know what Changyan went to do? In the last two days, who has come to look for Changyan?"

Everyone said they didn't know, only the steward said tremblingly, "Reporting to Old Ancestor, I didn't dare ask about Young Master Changyan's whereabouts, but last night, Sixth Master came by once."

"Sixth Master? Hu Xuechuan?"

"Yes."

"This prodigal son!"

Hu Zhen was furious, having already roughly deduced the cause, "Why didn't you all advise him?"

"We... how would this old servant dare... Old Ancestor, spare my life!" The steward began to beg for mercy mournfully.

The next instant, Hu Zhen looked coldly at the fifty-plus guards, servants, concubines, and stewards kneeling on the ground, and suddenly stomped his foot slightly. In an instant, starlight pressed down like a mountain.

The sound of explosions, bang bang bang bang bang bang, was endless!

In an instant, all fifty-plus people were blasted apart by Hu Zhen!

The next instant, a cluster of blood light appeared in Hu Zhen's palm. He sank his consciousness into it, sensed it slightly, and stepped into the Star-Plucking Tower of the Tianyang Star Palace, disappearing in an instant!

Falling Thunder Mountain Range.

Qi Shanye, Magic Arrow Mo Ji, and Xu Jin were flying rapidly toward the direction of Songzhou, having already flown several hundred miles from the location where they had just conducted their business.

Suddenly, Magic Arrow Mo Ji, who was flying in the lead, stopped abruptly, "Alright, let's part ways here."

"Uncle-Master!"

Just as Xu Jin was about to say something, Qi Shanye became anxious, "Old Mo, I know what you're thinking, this absolutely won't do! Let's fight it out, we must fight it out. I still have emblems in my hand, there's still a chance!"

Magic Arrow Mo Ji shook his head, "The emblems your disciple gave, if used well, it's possible to severely injure a sixth-tier expert, but a seventh-tier, it's absolutely impossible!

A seventh-tier expert, you understand, is completely different."

"Uncle-Master, I still have a sixth-tier emblem for life-saving in my hand, and its power is also doubled," Xu Jin offered voluntarily.

Qi Shanye's eyes lit up slightly, then dimmed.

Magic Arrow Mo Ji, however, shook his head, "Even a sixth-tier emblem with doubled power can at most repel a seventh-tier, not even severely injure them.

So, it's useless!"

"Remember, help me find a successor for the Void-Breaking I passed on to you!

And this address, it's my only bloodline, and he's almost an adult. If it's convenient in the future, help me look after him a bit. If he has aptitude, bring him into the path of cultivation, just give him some resources, you handle it as you see fit," Magic Arrow Mo Ji threw a jade tablet to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin's expression turned very ugly in an instant.

Even a fool could hear that Magic Arrow Mo Ji was giving his final instructions!

"Fight it out, maybe there's a chance!"

Old Qi was somewhat unwilling and became agitated.

But the next instant, Magic Arrow Mo Ji roared, "Fight what fight! The lowest is a seventh-tier, what if it's an eighth-tier?

If it really is an eighth-tier, we might not even have the chance to die!

Do you want to bury your disciple too!"

Qi Shanye was speechless!

Xu Jin was even more silent!

"Alright, after we split up, I will sneak all the way, and then look for some desperate or dangerous places; it's not impossible to fight for a glimmer of survival!" Magic Arrow Mo Ji comforted the two.

Xu Jin was also racking his brains.

He even thought of giving his strongest life-saving fourth-tier star artifact, Chaotic Star, to Uncle-Master Mo Ji, but just by thinking about it, he knew it was useless.

The most fatal thing about this Blood Soul Guide is that it cannot be eliminated!

Even if you can avoid it for a while, you can't avoid it for a lifetime.

And Mo Ji happened to be the one who launched the final fatal blow!

For a moment, the person involved, Mo Ji, was instead calm, but Qi Shanye and Xu Jin were worried and extremely conflicted!

A few breaths later, Qi Shanye suddenly slapped his thigh and said.

"I've got it!"

"There's a way!"
