247: Fighting, Soulless Night

As a Quasi-Emperor arrived, the moment the three of them stepped into this inner world, he immediately sensed two unfamiliar auras.

More importantly, these two auras brought him an incredibly strong sense of threat!

He first glanced at Ye Wuhai, who was half-dead and held in Pupil Ancestor's hand, his expression changing drastically as he realized that Ye Wuhai's current state was extremely dire, a sign of a shattered Dao Heart.

Then, he looked at Pupil Ancestor and Nether Lord, and sternly shouted, "Who are you, to dare injure my Young Master, and what is your purpose in coming to my Yu Shen Clan?"

Pupil Ancestor and Nether Lord exchanged glances, and the latter coldly said, "This Yu Shen Clan is indeed extraordinary; they immediately sent out a Quasi-Emperor mid-stage expert!"

"Haha, then it seems we've come to the right place."

Pupil Ancestor's eyes were filled with excitement, a hint of bloodlust flashing within them.

"It seems this kid is very important to you. How about I use him for some practice first!"

He pondered for a moment, then chuckled sinisterly.

"You dare!"

The Quasi-Emperor expert of the Yu Shen Clan roared, and a message was also transmitted.

Soon, two more figures descended, two more Quasi-Emperors, one of whom exuded a pressure far surpassing the former, reaching the late stage level!

The other also possessed a Quasi-Emperor mid-stage cultivation.

"Oh, there are more Quasi-Emperors?"

Pupil Ancestor and Nether Lord were a little surprised; this Yu Shen Clan seemed to be quite a bit stronger than they had imagined.

He scrutinized the two with great satisfaction, then looked at the late-stage expert and asked, "Are you perhaps the Clan Leader of the Yu Shen Clan?"

The Quasi-Emperor late-stage expert frowned and said, "Whether I am or not, it has nothing to do with you. Release my clan's Young Master, or I will ensure none of you return!"

Nether Lord sneered, disdainfully saying, "Just a mere late-stage like you dares to boast? Today, the Yu Shen Clan shall perish!"

Upon hearing this, the three Quasi-Emperors of the Yu Shen Clan felt a chill in their hearts, sensing an ominous premonition, but thinking of their Clan Leader's strength, they calmed down again.

"That depends on your abilities!"

The late-stage expert, who was the leader of the three, snorted coldly, his killing intent formidable.

Nether Lord glanced at Pupil Ancestor, then stepped forward, a surge of Nether Qi emanating from his body, transforming the peaceful inner world as if it were the end of days.

That terrifying pressure caused the three Quasi-Emperor experts of the Yu Shen Clan to show looks of horror, retreating repeatedly.

"You are from the Nether Race; it was indeed you who destroyed the Spirit Race!"

One of them said with extreme shock.

Although their Yu Shen Clan lived in seclusion, they were not disconnected from the outside world.

Upon learning that the Spirit Race, one of the Five Great Top-Tier Races, had been annihilated by mysterious experts, they were inevitably somewhat incredulous.

Many conjectures arose, and the biggest suspect was naturally the Nether Race, as they were notorious and known throughout the myriad races of the continent.

Now, it was merely confirmed.

"Knowing now is a bit too late; soon, you will go down to accompany them!"

Nether Lord said coldly, casually striking out with a gigantic, sky-obscuring palm, putting several people on high alert.

They all dared not hold back, unleashing all their techniques, but were still sent flying.

"Not good, this person is a Quasi-Emperor peak expert, no weaker than the Clan Leader!"

The leader was utterly horrified, no wonder he felt an insurmountable sense of powerlessness against him.

Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Pupil Ancestor, who was holding Ye Wuhai, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

If this person was also a Quasi-Emperor peak, then even if the Clan Leader came out of seclusion, he might not be able to defeat them. The Yu Shen Clan was in danger!

"If you have any tricks, use them early; if you're late, I fear you won't have the chance!"

Nether Lord said indifferently.

"The Nether Race's tone is a bit too grand; I'd like to see what qualifications you have to be so presumptuous in my Yu Shen Clan!"

A resounding voice echoed through the heavens and earth, as a tall middle-aged man stepped through the air, arriving in the arena in the blink of an eye.

His whole body exuded a world-shaking power, which offset Nether Lord's aura.

"Clan Leader!"

The three Yu Shen Clan Quasi-Emperors were overjoyed at the sight, quickly bowing respectfully.

The former waved his hand, his majestic gaze fixed on Nether Lord.

Clap, clap, clap!

"What a Yu Shen Clan, I didn't expect it to be so powerful, with a Quasi-Emperor peak expert guarding it. It's not much weaker than the Five Great Top-Tier Races."

Nether Lord's eyes narrowed; he was also somewhat surprised. The Yu Shen Clan's strength indeed exceeded his and Pupil Ancestor's expectations, as they had thought the strongest among them would at most barely touch this realm.

"Enough with the nonsense. I already know your intentions. Whether you can achieve them depends on your own abilities!"

As Ye Wuhun spoke, two tangible killing intents burst forth from his eyes.

The opponents had already come to their doorstep, what more was there to say? Moreover, his son, in whom he had placed high hopes, had been crippled by the opponents, and his heart was already filled with rage.

Although he had very little interaction with Ye Wuhai on a daily basis, the bond of blood was in no way diminished.

"Just as I wished!"

Nether Lord's figure trembled, appearing before Ye Wuhun, and a Nether Great Hand, carrying a sky full of Yin Qi, grabbed towards him.

The latter first activated the clan protection array before colliding with the former.

Rumble.

The two figures began a world-shshaking battle outside the Yu Shen Clan, and the terrifying commotion had long attracted the attention of countless clan members, who were all horrified and worried.

The highest combat powers in the clan, including the Clan Leader, had all been mobilized, showing the urgency of the situation; it was probably a matter of life and death.

However, their strength was limited, so they could only silently pray that the powerful enemies could be repelled.

"Yu Shen Art, Divine Soul Piercing Cloud Arrow!"

A long bow appeared in Ye Wuhun's hand, which he drew to its fullest, continuously accumulating power, and then an arrow specifically targeting the divine soul was shot out.

Although the momentum was not grand, Nether Lord felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, his divine soul faintly stinging, knowing that this was the Yu Shen Clan's racial talent, specializing in attacking divine soul power.

If he was even slightly careless and his divine soul was damaged, it would be far more serious than a severe physical injury.

"Nether Soul Severance, Sky-Slaying Ghost Claw!"

He himself also had a move targeting the divine soul; he just didn't know whether it was stronger or weaker compared to the opponent's.

Nether Qi condensed into a ghostly claw print, grabbing towards the arrow with lightning speed.

Crack!

The two collided without making much sound. The Nether Ghost Claw was pierced by the arrow, shattering and dissipating into nothingness.

The long arrow was unstoppable, continuing to shoot towards Nether Lord, causing his expression to change slightly.

He condensed another barrier in front of him to barely block it.

A hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes as he looked at Ye Wuhun. The Yu Shen Clan's abilities were bizarre and unpredictable, making them impossible to guard against, definitely a formidable and troublesome enemy!

He slowly said, "As expected of the Yu Shen Clan, truly formidable. In this aspect, probably no one on the continent can compare to you."

Hearing the opponent's praise, Ye Wuhun did not speak, but instead condensed another divine soul battle-halberd, transforming into a golden light that pierced through.

"Hmph, don't get complacent. Let me show you what the Nether Race is!"

After Nether Lord finished speaking, his entire body transformed into a sky full of Nether Qi, enveloping this heaven and earth, formless and intangible; it seemed as if every wisp of Nether Qi was his true body, making him difficult to capture.
