241: Chapter 234 Entering the Space with Gu Yuan

Hun Tiandi said nonchalantly, "The fact that you were able to injure me last time was merely a stroke of luck!"

Zhu Kun focused his gaze, scanning Hun Tiandi from head to toe, his heart filled with astonishment.

During the last battle in the Ancient World, Hun Tiandi had been surrounded by everyone and suffered heavy injuries, fleeing back to the Soul Realm in a sorry state; he would have needed quite a long time of quiet recuperation to recover.

Yet, right now, although Hun Tiandi still had some lingering internal injuries, his Aura had stabilized, and he had recovered eighty percent of his combat power.

How could this be possible!

Could it be that the Hun Clan still possessed a Ninth Grade Golden Pill Alchemist?

He had no time to delve into the reasons. Seeing out of the corner of his eye that Gu Yuan's Aura was rapidly approaching the Bodhi Ancient Tree, he only wanted to forcibly shake off Hun Tiandi and rush to protect Ling Yuan.

But Hun Tiandi was clearly determined to block him completely, not giving an inch, just to buy time for Gu Yuan to kill Ling Yuan.

He was not cooperating with Gu Yuan.

That was impossible; Gu Yuan's hatred for the Ling Clan, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, and the Hun Clan was roughly the same.

The two had just happened to meet, and their target just happened to be Ling Yuan...

Thus, without any communication, the two reached such a tacit understanding.

One would stop Zhu Kun, while the other would go to kill Ling Yuan.

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, pitch-black flames surged violently around Hun Tiandi, and a sky-filling devouring force spread out, locking down the space around Zhu Kun.

The breaking-free offensive Zhu Kun launched collided with the black flames; a portion was devoured and dissipated, and in turn, it transformed into Dou Qi to nourish Hun Tiandi.

Zhu Kun said, "You actually refined the Void Swallowing Flame?"

Now, Zhu Kun understood why Hun Tiandi had been able to recover his injuries so quickly.

Hun Tiandi did not answer, keeping a tight hold on Zhu Kun.

"Zhu Kun, that brat is dead for sure, don't waste your effort!"

In his view, as long as he could delay Zhu Kun for a short moment, with Gu Yuan's strength, it would be more than enough to kill the Late Stage Six-Star Dou Sheng, Ling Yuan.

The three Nine-Star Dou Sheng present all thought the same.

Ling Yuan, who possessed an Emperor Realm Soul, also sensed the arrival of Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan.

An angry shout filled with blood-soaked hatred pierced through heaven and earth: "Ling Yuan, pay with your life!"

The Aura of a Late Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng was indeed very strong, and his speed was also very fast.

Facing the sneak attack from his mortal enemy, Ling Yuan did not panic; he released his nine high-tier dou sheng puppet.

They were already beneath the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and Zhu Kun was there too.

Ling Yuan did not feel that he would be in danger.

Nine high-tier dou sheng puppet with powerful Auras appeared simultaneously, blocking in front of him.

The moment he saw the appearance of the Puppets, Gu Yuan, who was rushing over at high speed, froze in his tracks.

He was all too familiar with these faces; they were the fallen Yan Jin, Lei Ying, Gu Lie, and a host of high-tier Dou Sheng from the three clans who had perished.

The rage in Gu Yuan's chest exploded instantly, his voice hoarse and bone-chilling: "You actually refined them into Puppets? Unforgivable!"

Monstrous hatred, wrapped in Dou Qi, erupted; Gu Yuan's Aura grew even stronger, and his figure charged violently again, heading straight for Ling Yuan to kill him.

A trace of wariness flashed in the depths of Ling Yuan's eyes; the explosive power of a Late Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng was truly not to be underestimated.

He immediately controlled the Puppets to step forward and block the path, while he himself retreated rapidly, raising his hand to activate the divine soul bead, sending several silent Divine Soul beams straight at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan was very fast, easily dodging all the Divine Soul beams in a couple of moves.

Then, he struck a palm at the two Seven-Star Dou Sheng Puppets charging toward him.

Under this blow, the two Seven-Star Dou Sheng Puppets blocking his path were instantly smashed into powder.

Seeing that he was about to reach Ling Yuan, resolve the Lei Ying and Yan Jin Puppets, and kill Ling Yuan.

On the outer battlefield, Zhu Kun exhausted all his efforts, unleashing his Dragon power, and forcibly tore through Hun Tiandi's black flame blockade, finally breaking free from the entanglement and turning his head to rush to aid Ling Yuan.

However, it seemed to be too late.

Hun Tiandi, behind him, stopped attacking, no longer pursuing Zhu Kun, and stood with his arms crossed, calmly watching the battle.

When the nine dou sheng puppet had just appeared, he had also been genuinely shocked for a moment, instantly understanding the purpose of Ling Yuan and Zhu Kun desperately harvesting the bodies of the Dou Sheng during the battle in the Ancient World.

But that was all; the overall situation was now decided, and Ling Yuan was doomed to die.

Seeing his mortal enemy so close and his great revenge about to be fulfilled, the grief and indignation that Gu Yuan had suppressed for so long exploded completely; he threw his head back and laughed heartily, and as he laughed, his eyes reddened, and tears flowed down.

"Hahaha... clansmen, Xun'er, wait for me! I will kill Ling Yuan right now and avenge you all!"

In the distance, Zhu Kun was burning with anxiety: "Ling Yuan, hold on!"

If he let his son-in-law die even while personally protecting him, he really wouldn't be able to face his daughter when he went back!

The triumphant Gu Yuan, the spectating Hun Tiandi, and the anxious Zhu Kun.

Only Ling Yuan, who was at the center of the death trap, had originally been a bit nervous, but his expression suddenly changed, becoming nonchalant.

That's right, Ling Yuan's expression at this moment was indeed nonchalant.

Because he had already arrived beneath the Bodhi Ancient Tree!

Ling Yuan laughed aloud: "Hahaha! Gu Yuan, you think you can kill me just with that? Maybe in your next life!"

The moment his words fell, the Bodhi Ancient Tree, thousands of feet large beneath his feet, trembled violently; the patterns on its trunk all lit up, the sky-filling clear Qi instantly retracted, and a blinding, heaven-reaching pillar of light exploded, precisely enveloping the entire area around Ling Yuan.

Gu Yuan pushed his speed to the limit, just barely stepping into the range of the light pillar at the critical moment; just a split second more, and he would have been able to smash Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and Ling Yuan to death with one palm.

But the next instant, a sudden change occurred.

His palm, raised in mid-air, suddenly froze, and the Dou Qi circulating within his body began to dissipate rapidly without warning, peeling away at an extremely fast speed.

With the Dou Qi gone, the killing move Gu Yuan had prepared disintegrated, not leaving behind even a shred of power.

Gu Yuan's complexion changed drastically, his expression panicked; he instinctively activated his Cultivation Technique, wanting to mobilize his Dou Qi to continue his attack, but no matter how he operated his Cultivation Technique, the Dou Qi in his entire body had completely lost connection, and he couldn't mobilize even a bit.

The two Nine-Star Dou Sheng on the periphery were stunned on the spot.

Hun Tiandi, who had been sitting and waiting for Ling Yuan to be killed to reap the rewards, had the smile on his face instantly freeze, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Hun Tiandi: ??

Zhu Kun, who had rushed over to rescue him with all his might: ???

Before the two great Nine-Star Dou Sheng could sort out their thoughts, the light pillar suddenly contracted, moving so fast that it broke the limits of space, leaving outsiders with no time to react at all.

With a soft sound, the light pillar wrapping Ling Yuan and Gu Yuan suddenly retracted, plunging into the trunk of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and the two figures, along with the light pillar, vanished without a trace in an instant.

By the time Zhu Kun arrived, the light pillar was long gone.

Gu Yuan and Ling Yuan had both completely vanished without a trace.

His brows were tightly knitted, and he felt a bit panicked in his heart.

Although Gu Yuan hadn't been able to injure Ling Yuan in the slightest just now, the two of them had been sucked into the interior of the ancient tree simultaneously; without outsiders to keep them in check inside, didn't that just mean they were locked together for a one-on-one fight?

Afterward, no matter what method Zhu Kun used, it was useless; the Bodhi Ancient Tree showed no reaction at all.

The ability to ignore Restrictions was completely useless here at the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Seeing this scene, Hun Tiandi laughed aloud:

"Hahaha, Zhu Kun, don't waste your effort!"

"Just wait outside peacefully, and get ready to collect your son-in-law's corpse!"
