234: Chapter 228 The Soul Emperor Escapes

Hun Tiandi was tightly surrounded by four individuals: Gu Yuan and the Soul of Ancient Emperor, while on the outermost layer of the encirclement, Zhu Kun and Ling Yuan were eyeing him like tigers watching their prey.

The inner and outer layers were sealed shut, leaving no blind spots.

No matter how one looked at it, it was a major crisis; if Hun Tiandi wanted to escape, he would have to pay a heavy price.

The more desperate the situation, the calmer Hun Tiandi's reaction became.

He instantly assessed the situation, without a hint of panic, and raised his hand to pour out a large pile of Medicinal Pills from his storage ring.

The quantity was easily in the hundreds, of which over a hundred were Ninth Grade Pills, and the rest were all of the Eighth Grade level.

Any single pill of this level would incite a scramble for it, but at this moment, Hun Tiandi felt no heartache and directly detonated them all.

Hundreds of high-grade Medicinal Pills exploded simultaneously, instantly whipping up a sky-filling turbulence of violent energy, forcibly blocking the combined attack pressing in from Gu Yuan and the others.

Hun Tiandi seized the opportunity and threw a heavy punch at Yan Jin and Lei Ying.

These two were the weakest in terms of strength, and they were the Breakthrough point.

Gu Yuan immediately saw through his intention and, unwilling to let him break out, moved his feet and slapped his palm with full force towards Hun Tiandi's back, forcing him to defend.

As long as Hun Tiandi turned to block this strike, Yan Jin and Lei Ying would be able to immediately re-encircle him, and Hun Tiandi would still be under siege.

But no one expected that Hun Tiandi would not dodge or defend at all.

He completely ignored the lethal attack coming from behind, forcibly took Gu Yuan's palm strike, poured all his power into his front fist, and smashed it heavily onto Yan Jin and Lei Ying.

Having burned their life force, their strength was infinitely close to a Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

But so what? There was a world of difference between an Early Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng and a Late Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

Two muffled sounds rang out simultaneously.

Yan Jin and Lei Ying spat out blood on the spot, the blood mixed with shattered internal organ fragments, and their bodies were smashed heavily onto the ground, creating two deep pits.

Having already been extremely weak from overdrawing their life force, and then suffering this heavy injury, the two of them didn't even have the strength to stand up; their vision went black, they passed out instantly, and they completely lost their ability to fight.

As for Hun Tiandi, he also took Gu Yuan's full-force strike head-on.

His body trembled violently, a muffled grunt escaped his throat, a large amount of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, his face turned paler, and his aura weakened visibly to the naked eye.

But he didn't pause for even a second.

Utilizing the impact of Gu Yuan's strike, he seized the momentum to dash forward, using the force to shake off the Soul of Ancient Emperor who was closing in, and charged away into the distance to escape.

But just as he rushed out of the inner encirclement, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended from the sky above.

A giant Dragon claw tore through the Void Realm, carrying the power to suppress everything, and slammed straight into his body.

Zhu Kun and Ling Yuan did not intend to let Hun Tiandi go; they didn't expect to kill him, but at the very least, they had to severely injure Hun Tiandi.

So, they seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the fleeing Hun Tiandi.

Hun Tiandi gritted his teeth tightly; at this critical juncture, a large blood-colored light sphere rapidly condensed in his palm, instantly enveloping his entire body.

This technique of Hun Tiandi's, whatever it might be, had terrifying defensive capabilities.

The Dragon claw slammed heavily onto the blood sphere barrier, the loud noise echoing through the sky.

A full eighty percent of the impact was forcibly negated by the secret technique barrier, leaving only twenty percent of the power to land on his body.

Even with only twenty percent of the force, it caused the already heavily injured Hun Tiandi's injuries to worsen further, his Dou Qi churned within him, and he vomited another mouthful of blood.

That wasn't all; the damage Ling Yuan caused to Hun Tiandi was even greater.

Over a dozen divine soul bead beams silently pierced through the sky, precisely sealing off all his escape routes.

With Hun Tiandi's speed and movement technique, it would not be difficult to dodge these beams.

But once he dodged the beams, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun behind him would close in at full speed, trapping him in the middle again.

By then, with two Late Stage Nine-Star experts joining forces to kill him, if he wanted to leave, the price he would have to pay would be even more terrifying, and he might even lose his life.

In a brief instant, Hun Tiandi immediately made a choice.

He did not dodge or avoid, forcibly taking Ling Yuan's Divine Soul beams.

The next second, he experienced the terror of this move.

Pure Divine Soul attacks completely ignored physical defenses and Dou Qi Soul barriers, striking the Soul directly.

An intensely violent Soul tremor exploded instantly, and his head felt as if it were being torn apart.

That intense, stabbing pain was even worse than the attack Gu Yuan had landed on him!

Now, Hun Tiandi was not only injured in his Physical Body, but his Soul was also heavily damaged.

After cursing silently that things were bad, Hun Tiandi did not stop; enduring the tearing pain in his Soul, he mobilized all his remaining Dou Qi and fled toward the distance at full speed.

Perhaps because of his injuries, Hun Tiandi's escape speed was slightly slower than before.

Watching his fleeing back, Zhu Kun turned his head to look at Ling Yuan and spoke in a deep voice.

" He is now heavily injured, and his combat power has plummeted. Should we pursue? "

After a pause, Zhu Kun gave his assessment.

" In his current state, if we pursue and join forces, we have a forty percent chance of killing him right here. "

Ling Yuan glanced at Gu Yuan behind him with his peripheral vision, instantly weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

This guy hadn't suffered any injuries, so relying on just himself and Zhu Kun to keep Gu Yuan here was impossible.

Since Zhu Kun said there was a certain chance of killing Hun Tiandi, then they would pursue.

Even if they couldn't kill the other party, adding a few more injuries to him would be excellent.

Ling Yuan did not hesitate at all; taking advantage of the fact that Gu Yuan and the Ancient Emperor's attention was focused on Hun Tiandi's escape, he struck cleanly and decisively, immediately killing the already dying and unconscious Yan Jin and Lei Ying, and conveniently took away their bodies and Souls.

Then, Zhu Kun took Ling Yuan to pursue Hun Tiandi.

Gu Yuan and the Ancient Emperor did not stop them.

Ling Yuan and Hun Tiandi were the culprits who caused the Ancient Clan to suffer heavy losses.

If these two could turn against each other, like dogs biting dogs, that would be for the best!

They had no time to interfere in the fighting right now.

The Dou Shengs of the Gu, Yan, and Lei Clans had been wiped out, and the Ancient World could no longer be defended.

The most urgent matter at hand was to immediately organize the evacuation and resettlement of the remaining clansmen within the realm.

Once the clansmen were settled, ensuring the three clans wouldn't be wiped out, he would then be ready to take revenge on the Ling Clan and the Hun Clan!

...

On the other side, Ling Yuan and Zhu Kun pursued at full speed the whole way, refusing to let go of Hun Tiandi's trail.

During the escape, several low-star Dou Shengs of the Hun Clan appeared one after another, rushing up desperately to block them, using their own lives to buy time for Hun Tiandi and block the attacks.

These Dou Shengs did not have high cultivation, but they still managed to buy some escape time for Hun Tiandi.

Pursuing all the way to the entrance of the Soul Realm, Ling Yuan had killed over ten Hun Clan Dou Shengs along the way, gaining quite a harvest.

As the Clan Chief of the Hun Clan, a dignified Late Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng, needing to rely on sacrificing the lives of low-level clansmen to buy time for his own escape looked, in every way, like the behavior of someone at the end of their rope.

In any case, Zhu Kun had already confirmed that Hun Tiandi had no power left to resist.

He was very excited; if he could kill Hun Tiandi, he would be one step closer to opening the Immortal Cave!
