Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 230 You Dare to Scheme Against Me

The square was silent.

The howling wind even dimmed slightly.

A variety of gazes, each carrying a different emotion, were fixed on the young man in the arena, awaiting his decision.

At this moment, Yunshan was powerless to resist. With just a burst of energy from his hand, the former sect leader of Yunlan Sect, a Dou Zong expert, would perish in an instant.

"Do you think he'll kill that old man?"

Jia Xingtian felt a slight tension and his emotions were complicated.

From the perspective of the royal family's interests, he naturally hoped that Yunshan would perish today, so that Yunlan Sect would no longer be a threat.

Personally, he did hope to have a few more old men he could talk to.

"You're dreaming! If we really kill him, he and the person next to him will have no chance at all!" Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes, glanced at Jia Xingtian beside him, and said irritably.

He had witnessed how much that guy cared about Sect Master Yun that night. He was so angry about a marriage alliance that he didn't even know if it was true or not. How could he do something like this!

Xiao Bai tilted his head slightly, looking at the green figure not far away.

Her elegant face was ashen, her lips almost bloodless as she bit them, and a few glaring drops of crimson blood slowly dripped from her clenched fists.

He sighed inwardly, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes. He withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, seemed to have made a decision.

Raise your hand and, under Yunshan's terrified gaze, slap him on the forehead.

His body suddenly stiffened and went limp, the light in his eyes gradually faded, and there was no longer any sense of liveliness.

Before anyone could react, Xiao Bai raised his hand again and struck out with his palm, landing on their chest.

There was no longer any energy fluctuation emanating from Yunshan's body, making him appear like a dead corpse.

Yun Yun's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground. Her eyes were filled with disbelief, and she choked out a painful sob, murmuring:

"Why? Why? You promised me you wouldn't kill the teacher!"

At this moment, a sense of regret rose in her heart. She shouldn't have listened to Xiao Bai. He was the teacher who raised her and taught her skills!

Despite their recent conflict, that's no reason for her to stand by and watch him die before her eyes.

"He actually killed Yunshan?!"

Hai Bodong stared in disbelief at Yunshan, whose body had gone limp and was now lifeless.

"Sigh," Jia Xingtian sighed softly as he watched this scene, his feelings inscrutable.

He initially thought he would be happy that Yunshan was dead, but when it actually happened, his feelings were very complicated.

"bass!"

A soft sword cry rang out, and Xiao Bai's eyes flickered as he sensed the approaching sound of air being pierced.

As the cold light drew near, my hair stood on end instinctively, but my body remained motionless.

In the blink of an eye, a cold touch came from my neck.

Ignoring the cyan longsword he caught a glimpse of out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Bai indifferently released his grip, letting Yunshan's "corpse" fall to the ground.

"You dare."

A furious shout, filled with intense killing intent, echoed from the sky:

"If you dare to lay a finger on him, I will wipe out your Yunlan Sect!"

Because she was worried about Xiao Bai, Cai Lin kept a close eye on him.

Seeing Yunshan die, she breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew her attention, and focused all her efforts on dealing with Protector Wu.

But just as he pulled it back, he caught a glimpse of a long sword around Xiao Bai's neck in the square. He was slightly startled, but when he saw who the sword belonged to...

A surge of intense anger instantly welled up on her alluring face, and a fierce resentment flashed in her narrow, beautiful eyes.

He was both angry that the woman dared to hold a sword to Xiao Bai's neck, and resentful that with his strength, even if he didn't want to attack that woman, he could have easily dodged it.

And him? He just stood there motionless!

Is that woman really that good, worth him going to such lengths and being willing to die at her hands?

"A great opportunity!"

Seeing that Queen Medusa was distracted, Protector Wu, who had been at a disadvantage, finally got a chance to catch his breath. He glanced at the corpse of Xia Yunshan out of the corner of his eye, and a dark glint flashed in his eyes.

He cursed under his breath, thinking, "What a piece of trash! A Dou Zong cultivator was actually killed by a mere Dou Wang brat!"

This is truly a legendary tale!

Her aura suddenly changed, forcing the declining Yao Lao to retreat. Just then, Queen Medusa flashed away, about to leave the battle, seemingly to save the mysterious Dou Wang boy.

With a swift movement, Protector Wu appeared in front of Queen Medusa, blocking her path.

"Get out of here!"

Cai Lin's expression turned cold. With a slight movement of her hand, a surge of rich, seven-colored energy burst forth, cutting through space and heading straight for Protector Wu.

Below in the plaza, sensing Protector Wu's actions, a hint of joy flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes.

If Yunshan can't help him, given that guy's determination to get Yao Lao, he definitely won't let this opportunity pass!

He glanced at the long sword at his neck, feeling a bit helpless. This woman didn't trust him at all!

However, he also understood that if he were in that situation, he would probably be even more insane!

Yunshan was like a father to her, having both raised her and taught her, and she watched him "die" before her eyes.

It was far too cruel for her!

That's why he didn't dodge. If she had actually struck, she wouldn't have hesitated so much when the sword was at his neck.

It's good to let her vent her anger; otherwise, if she avoids it, she'll probably feel even worse inside!

Looking at Xiao Bai, who remained motionless as if at her mercy, Yun Yun's delicate body trembled slightly, her eyes filled with struggle.

The thought of his teacher being beaten to death by him made him determined to take revenge and kill him, but no matter what he did, he couldn't bring himself to slash the sword in his hand!

"From this day forward, there is absolutely nothing between us. I never want to see you again!"

A moment later, Yun Yun's cold voice rang out, filled with unprecedented resolve. She sheathed her long sword, no longer glancing at Xiao Bai, and walked straight toward the fallen Yun Shan.

"!" Xiao Bai.

He rolled his eyes and was about to step forward to stop her from getting close to Yunshan when...

His expression suddenly changed. Without thinking, he took a step forward, grabbed Yun Yun's slender waist, and threw a punch as he turned around.

What are you doing?

He spun her around half a circle, and just as Yun Yun was about to struggle, she was horrified to see something out of the corner of her eye.

Ripples spread through the space ahead, and a jet-black chain, like a venomous snake, suddenly emerged from the void and collided fiercely with Xiao Bai's fist.

"Splash!"

After a clanging sound of chains, Xiao Bai's body trembled slightly, and he used the force of the impact to retreat rapidly.

In a few flashes, Xiao Bai, with Yun Yun in tow, arrived in front of Hai Bodong and the others.

"puff!"

A metallic taste rose in my throat, and a trickle of blood suddenly slid down from the corner of my mouth.

"Brother Bai!"

"Xiao Bai!"

"Mr. Bai!"

Several exclamations rang out as Xiao Yan, Hai Bodong, and the others looked extremely tense upon seeing this scene.

Releasing Yun Yun, Xiao Bai waved his hand, raised his gaze, and stared intently at the dark figure that had suddenly appeared in the square.

"You," Yun Yun looked at the man beside her, her expression complicated, a hint of worry in her eyes, hesitant to speak.

Xiao Bai shook his head slightly, his eyes flickering as he looked at the figure in the golden-red brocade robe that had suddenly appeared beside him. The figure's narrow eyes were coldly staring at him, and Xiao Bai felt helpless.

"Heh heh heh, as expected of a sixth-grade alchemist, your spiritual senses are truly sharp!"

Protector Wu's pair of bright red eyes sized up Xiao Bai, a fleeting glint of greed in them.

In his perception, this person's soul was extremely powerful, already possessing a hint of spiritual essence.

Moreover, given his surname is Xiao and his cultivation level, he should be the most powerful person in the Xiao family of Wutan City, making him a very valuable and excellent target.

"Trying to take my soul might be a bit too much for you!" Xiao Bai said with a sneer, taking out a healing pill from his storage ring, popping it into his mouth.

"Haha. Hot to the touch?" Protector Wu reached out and grabbed Yunshan from the ground, saying disdainfully, "For my Soul Palace, there is no soul that cannot be harvested!"

Xiao Bai was speechless. Damn it, even the Soul Emperor probably wouldn't dare to say such a thing, yet this guy dared to be so arrogant!

"What are you doing?"

Yun Yun's pretty face changed drastically. Looking at Protector Wu's actions, her face turned ashen, and she shouted angrily.

"Heh. What for? Of course, to take back the power I gave to this piece of trash!"

The latest novel is first published here!

With a sinister laugh, Protector Wu extended his hand, black mist surging, and slammed it hard onto Yunshan's crown.

"Not good, stop him!" The old apothecary arrived beside the group and his expression changed slightly upon seeing Protector Wu's actions.

"Yes, stop him!" Xiao Bai shouted anxiously.

"!" said the old medicine doctor.

"You brat, with such a loud voice, why don't you release Queen Medusa and let her take action!"

Why are you holding her so tightly?

Moreover, he held onto the two women in each hand, preventing them from making any rash moves.

"Heh heh heh, trying to stop this protector?" Protector Wu chuckled eerily, then said coldly, "Too late!"

"Yao Chen, as I said before, no matter the cost, I will capture you and bring you back to the Soul Palace. This merit will be firmly awarded to me."

"What the hell is this thing?"

The hand that landed on Yunshan's crown pulled hard, and something was pulled out amidst the surging black mist.

Looking at the mark emitting a faint glow in his hand, Protector Wu was surprised. He wanted Yunshan's soul, so how did he end up with such a thing?

Before it could react, the mark transformed into a stream of light and entered its body.

"You wretch who'll take your life!" Seeing that his methods were effective, Xiao Bai released Cai Lin and shouted coldly, "Elder Yao, Cai Lin, finish him off!"

"You dare to scheme against me!"

Upon seeing the strange mark disappear from his body, Protector Wu was immediately alarmed and hurriedly examined his internal body, his powerful soul force sweeping over his entire body.

However, they discovered that on the core of the soul's origin, there were faint lights flickering and countless mysterious patterns forming a complete whole.

Sensing the barrier emanating from the core of his soul, he exclaimed in disbelief:

"Is this... a seal?"

These guardians do not have physical bodies; they are created by the Soul Palace using a secret method, selecting those with good soul potential from the collected souls.

Since they lack a physical body and a sea of ​​consciousness, their soul core is the source of their power, just like the dantian. Now that their soul core is sealed, their strength will be greatly reduced!

"Haha...good lad, so you had a backup plan!"

The old man laughed loudly and headed straight for Protector Wu, his heart filled with excitement, though he didn't know how Protector Wu knew that he was going to make a move against Yunshan.

But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

You have to admire this kid's vision and skills. He even had a backup plan for something like this, and he actually used it!

No wonder she had been loudly agreeing with him before, but her feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, and she wouldn't move herself, nor would she allow Queen Medusa to move!

So it was all a ruse to lull that bastard from the Soul Palace into a false sense of security, to trick him!

Cai Lin glanced sideways at Xiao Bai, a strange light flickering in her eyes, a mixture of admiration and pride.

She glanced at him holding another woman's hand, a cold glint appearing in her beautiful eyes. She let out a heavy snort, took a step, and disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai clicked his tongue, feeling a bit bitter. Once this matter was over, life might not be so easy!

On the other side, seeing the two approaching, Protector Wu's expression changed drastically, and he continuously used the soul power within his body to break through the seal.

"Damn it, how can this bizarre soul seal be so troublesome!"

Although he was a little panicked at first, he did not take the seal seriously.

Given the difference in cultivation levels between him and Xiao Bai, and considering that this was an indirect intrusion into his body rather than a direct attack, he should be able to break the seal in a few moves.

But to his surprise, the seal, under his constant assault, only managed to break open a crack, and was not completely broken!

Carrying Yunshan, his figure flashed constantly, using the power seeping out from the gap to break through the seal while desperately dodging the attacks of the two.

Xiao Bai gazed at this scene, carefully sensing something, and after a long while, he frowned slightly.

"It still doesn't work!"

He originally intended to use the seal to control Protector Wu, but whether it was due to indirect reasons or the special nature of Protector Wu's state, the seal's effect was extremely weak, let alone its control!

On the other side, as he grew weaker and his movements became slower, Protector Wu's eyes turned ashen. Finding a moment of calm, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"It seems impossible to capture Yao Chen today. The only way to escape this place and save my life is to use this..."

His mind raced, and his palm landed on Yunshan's crown chakra once more. Black mist surged forth, pulling and tugging again...

"You bastard!"

A deafening roar, filled with grief and indignation, rang out, causing Yao Lao and Cai Lin, who were in pursuit, to pause slightly.

He looked as if he had been bitten by a snake, and with a terrified expression, he threw away Yunshan's "corpse".

Under the light, a mark appeared on Yunshan's chest, spreading outwards with mysterious patterns that instantly filled his entire body.

Unexpectedly, that young Dou Wang was so despicable and shameless, leaving more than one sealing mark on Yun Shan's body.

Luckily, he reacted quickly; otherwise, another seal would have entered his body, and he would have been finished!

With a flicker of his eyes, Protector Wu's eyes moved slightly for a moment, and black mist surged from his body, spreading rapidly.

The attacks from Yao Lao and Cai Lin landed heavily in the black mist, but did not elicit the slightest reaction.

"Oh no! We've been tricked!"

The old doctor sensed something, his expression changed, and he instantly turned around and shouted:

"Xiao Bai, watch out!"

Not far from Xiao Bai, spatial ripples spread, and a dark figure appeared.
