Chương 140: Chapter 139 - Insult!
A soft, ethereal voice echoed through the heavens and earth.
As the gentle voice spiraled through the skies, those who heard it felt their hair stand on end, and a sudden killing intent filled the air.
At the same time, as Qin Tian's black hand descended, the space in front of Xiao Yan suddenly twisted, and an old figure mysteriously appeared. With a wave of his sleeve, the space collapsed, shattering the black hand.
Seeing the elderly figure who easily shattered Qin Tian's attack, everyone couldn't help but shudder. Who was this powerful being that could so easily fend off an attack from a Dou Zun? Was this another Dou Zun?
Realizing this, everyone looked at the old figure with awe, hope once again rising in their hearts.
Hearing the voice, Xiao Yan's body stiffened slightly, his throat gulped with a bit of disbelief as he softly murmured, "Xun Er."
"Hoo—" Hearing Xiao Yan's murmur, Yao Chen let out a sigh of relief. Since she had arrived, Xiao Yan should be safe.
"Finally, the Gu Clan is here," Yun Yi, floating in the sky, murmured to himself, his eyes reflecting a mysterious glint as he gazed at the distant silhouette.
With a wave of his hand, the devouring Heavenly Corpse that was still being beaten by Zi Yan turned into a stream of light and stood silently behind Yun Yi.
At this moment, its entire body was covered in various injuries, but under the strange black flames, it started to squirm and, in the blink of an eye, some minor injuries were healed.
Seeing this from afar, Zi Yan was utterly disgusted!
Initially, she was quite excited to beat up this "sandbag," but as time passed, its attribute disgusted her.
If this continued, she feared she might exhaust herself to death!
Sensing the large number of auras in the distance, Zi Yan returned to Jiang Yun's side with a serious expression, ready to tear open the space and take a few people away at any time.
"The Gu Clan, Black Abyss Army?" Jiang Yun also looked towards the black cloud, where numerous powerful auras were heading their way.
In the distant sky, the sound of breaking wind was heard. Dozens of tiny black dots appeared in everyone's sight, their powerful auras obscuring the blazing sun, and a dark storm of energy swept over.
"Those are ... magical beasts?"
After a few breaths, the survivors of the Jia Ma Empire looked at the dozen or so black dots in shock.
They saw that these black dots were actually one-horned beasts, pitch black all over, with long silver horns on their heads measuring over a foot long.
On each of these horns were strange patterns, and faintly, the sound of wind and thunder could be heard. The one-horned beasts had four wings, flapping to summon gales from the skies.
Riding on these four-winged one-horned beasts stood youths emitting powerful auras, dressed uniformly in purple and black robes, faces expressionless. Their gazes, knife-sharp, sent chills down everyone's spine.
Each aura was as deep as an ocean, and each figure was almost equivalent to the likes of Yun Shan or Jia Xing Tian.
In the center of the Black Abyss Army was an even larger four-winged one-horned beast, on whose back stood three youths, two males and a female.
As for the female, who could it be other than Gu Xun Er!
At this moment, Gu Xun Er's gaze was fixed solely on Xiao Yan, her face unconsciously revealing a captivating smile.
However, seeing the bloodstains on Xiao Yan's body, a look of distress flashed in her eyes. Her gaze swept over Yun Yi and his group, harboring a terrifying killing intent.
The two males behind Gu Xun Er, one of whom appeared ordinary but exuded a strange sense of trustworthiness, were equally notable.
He wore a complex smile on his face as he looked at Gu Xun Er. Since Gu Xun Er returned to the clan, he had never seen her show such an expression to anyone.
In the clan, there were already grievances about her and Xiao Yan. If this news were to spread, it would surely stir up great turmoil.
Unconsciously, he glanced at the other male in a plain blue robe beside him.
This man dressed in a simple blue robe had a handsome face that gave off an air of elegance. Although he exuded no aura, the gazes of others indicated his high status, second only to Gu Xun Er.
At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Yun Yi, Jiang Yun, and Zi Yan, filled with intense battle intent.
"Is that ... Gu Qingyang?" Sensing his aura, Jiang Yun's gaze pierced through the Black Abyss Army to the central figures, finally locking onto the young man in blue, a hint of speculation in his eyes.
"To annihilate my Soul Hall? Gu Xun Er, you probably don't have that qualification yet!" At this moment, noticing the killing intent in Gu Xun Er's eyes, Yun Yi sneered mockingly.
Yun Yi's words made the two men standing behind Gu Xun Er frown slightly, a trace of discontent flashing in their eyes.
Gu Xun Er also frowned lightly, coldly eyeing Yun Yi.
She knew Yun Yi well. It was he who had come to the Xiao family, forcing her to break her promise to her father and return to the clan prematurely.
Moreover, he was a disciple of Void Swallowing Flame, a nine-star Dou Saint. Naturally, the clan placed great importance on him, and his information appeared at the high levels of the Gu Clan.
For a person like Yun Yi, who had suddenly appeared and had an unknown past, the Gu Clan was undoubtedly puzzled. First, it was confirmed that he was not of the Hun Clan.
Without the bloodline of an emperor clan, yet able to advance so rapidly, it naturally made the high levels of the Gu Clan pay extra attention.
"Presumptuous!"
As Yun Yi's words fell, though Gu Xun Er's side had yet to respond, the Black Abyss Army behind her erupted in an uproar!
Though Gu Xun Er had only returned to the clan for a little over three years, she had already become a goddess in the hearts of the Gu Clan's many young members.
As the daughter of the clan leader and possessing divine-grade bloodline, combined with her stunning appearance, she was a threefold beacon, irresistible to any Gu Clan member. Who wouldn't desire to be close to her?
Thus, when Yun Yi spoke disrespectfully, a handsome youth in purple-black robes, probably around twenty-one or twenty-two years old, stepped forward and shouted angrily.
With a boom, an extremely terrifying aura erupted from his body. Though he was only a nine-star Dou Huang, his five-grade bloodline, combined with his impressive Dou Qi skills and martial techniques, made him capable of contending with ordinary one- or two-star Dou Zongs.
"When has it ever been acceptable for a servant to interrupt when the master is speaking?"
Yun Yi coldly watched him, spoke no nonsense, and punched out fiercely.
Black demonic flames flickered on his arm, and between his fingers, the black flames surged like a sea, with the power to incinerate heaven and earth.
A fire punch shot toward the Black Abyss Army with a thunderous roar.
"Not good!"
Sensing the power of Yun Yi's punch, the youth's face paled, but he didn't retreat. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes as he clenched his palm. Lightning flashed in his palm, and he shouted, "Thunderous Dance!"
Silver arcs of electricity emerged, transforming into a thunder spear. The spear, filled with destructive force, shot toward Yun Yi's punch.
Seeing this, Yun Yi sneered, waving his hand, and the power of the flaming punch surged, carrying an imminent threat as it flew towards the Black Abyss Army.
Was he intending to wipe them all out?
"Trouble!"
"Gu Zhen, protect the young lady!" The young man in green, his face changing drastically, tapped his foot lightly, and before the sound even fell, his silhouette appeared in front of the group.
As Gu Qingyang flew forward, his hands quickly formed seals, and when he arrived in front of everyone, his fingers froze in a strange hand seal!
His thumb pointed inward, his ten fingers intertwined like two snakes, and his index fingers pointed at each other; at first glance, it gave off an extremely profound feeling.
As the seals formed, his Dou Qi was drained, and a blinding light erupted from his palm. A palm-sized hand seal appeared on his palm.
As the seal appeared, the surrounding space rippled violently!
Staring at Yun Yi's punch, Gu Qingyang let out a low roar.
"Emperor Seal Technique · Earth-Shattering Seal!"
With a flick of his thumb, the seal was pushed forward, and the small energy seal transformed into a crystal light, rushing towards the punch.
"Emperor Seal Technique?" Seeing the seal fly out, Yun Yi murmured, "No wonder. Gu Qingyang, entering the Dou Zong realm, able to use the third seal of the Emperor Seal Technique. Actually, he is a better candidate for the clan leader compared to Gu Xun Er!"
"Unfortunately, the gap in cultivation is still too large!"
Shaking his head slightly, Yun Yi looked through the space to a certain spot, seeing the still calm Dou Zun who had saved Xiao Yan and others earlier. Clearly, with Gu Xun Er's appearance, there were more forces hidden.
Boom—
A terrifying collision, like meteors crashing, exploded with a deafening roar, and energy ripples filled with the taste of destruction spread rapidly from the collision point.
"Lost?" Gu Qingyang's eyes pierced through the energy ripples, seeing Yun Yi's punch easily shatter the hand seal and head towards him at speed.
"Indeed, the gap in cultivation is too large!" Shaking his head in disappointment, feeling the emptiness of his Dou Qi, Gu Qingyang even wondered if Yun Yi was the descendant of an emperor.
Despite being around the same age, why was this person, without Dou Di bloodline, nearly a whole realm higher in cultivation?
Who is the true emperor's descendant?
"Hmph—"
Just as the punch was about to hit Gu Qingyang, a cold snort suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth. An elderly, hunched figure slowly appeared in front of Gu Qingyang, raising a withered hand toward the punch.
Boom—
When the two made contact, it was like a flood bursting, with tangible power ripples spreading.
The old man's face slightly shifted, almost unable to control the terrifying power from the punch's explosion.
"What a strong youngling from the Hun Clan!"
Channeling more Dou Qi, he narrowly neutralized the punch. The old man's face darkened as he looked at Yun Yi, speaking solemnly.
"Elder Gu Xu."
With his appearance, the Black Abyss Army in mid-air quickly bent over in salute, respectfully saying.
Gu Xu nodded, then looked at Yun Yi, rubbing his slightly numb hand, and said, "Apologize to my young lady, or today, several Elders of your Hun Clan might not leave here!"
Boom—
As he spoke, an eight-star Dou Zun's aura erupted, making Qin Tian and others change their expressions drastically.
"Heh, such bold words. Under my watch, is my Soul Hall's people to be killed as your Gu Clan wishes?"
The space beside Yun Yi wriggled strangely, and a hoarse voice echoed in the sky.
A figure slowly emerged, clad in a blood-red robe, with long crimson hair. His eyes and eyebrows were as red as blood. At a glance, a chilling blood scent swept over.
"Soul Hall's Four Heavenly Venerables, Blood River Venerable?!"
Seeing the Blood River Venerable, Gu Xu's face turned solemn. He was a renowned old powerhouse in Zhongzhou, known for his blood transformation technique, with countless strong opponents having fallen to him.
Moreover, his aura was stronger!
"Young Hall Master!" With his appearance, the hoarse-voiced Blood River Venerable looked at Yun Yi, laughing grimly.
"Mm!" Yun Yi nodded indifferently, looking at Gu Xun Er, he said, "I told you, my Soul Hall is not going to be annihilated by you, Gu Xun Er."
Hearing this, looking at the Dou Zuns and many black-robed protectors beside Yun Yi, Gu Xun Er's face turned somewhat grim.
Gu Zhen and Gu Qingyang beside her also looked displeased. Even though Gu Xun Er's words were indeed impulsive earlier, why did Yun Yi cling to this?
Moreover, to give no face to the young lady of the Gu Clan, are you not afraid of provoking a war between two clans?
Right now, it's just Dou Zuns fighting, small skirmishes, but if Dou Shengs get involved, it won't end well!
"To apologize to me?" Next, Yun Yi turned to Gu Xu, sneering, "Today, if Gu Xun Er doesn't apologize to me, I can't guarantee you all, except Gu Xun Er, will leave intact!"
"Hehehe."
Sure enough, hearing Yun Yi's words, the Soul Hall people's eyes glowed red, looking at the Gu Clan members as if they were prey.
Most of them didn't understand what the Gu Clan stood for, only knowing right now we are strong, they are weak; we have the upper hand!
If we don't show arrogance now, when should we?
"You—" Gu Xun Er's face turned unsightly looking at Yun Yi, submitting and apologizing?
Where would that leave the Gu Clan's dignity? Later, within the clan, there could be many complaints against her, Gu Xun Er.
She might even face confinement!
"Yun Yi, you're going too far!" Gu Qingyang stepped forward, his face darkening.
At this moment, not just him, but everyone from the Black Abyss Army was glaring at Yun Yi with unpleasant expressions.
"Going too far?" Hearing this, Yun Yi glanced at them with a mocking face, "I'm just returning the favor!"
