Chapter 142: Chapter 142 : Yun Xiao ll
Demon Imperial City, Imperial Palace
Boom!!
Boom!!
Boom!!
In the arena, one explosion after another resounded as a fierce battle raged between Yun Xiao and Hu Mei'er. The pink-haired girl was clearly giving it her all but was being relentlessly pushed back.
"…" – The spectators stared at the arena in shock. The power Yun Xiao displayed was extraordinary, far beyond what anyone expected from him. Moreover, he was using the Profound Handle, a unique ability possessed only by members of the Yun Family.
Even though Yun Xiao was the Young Master of the Yun Family, many doubted his identity. After all, he had reached the Sky Profound Realm many years ago yet had never demonstrated the Profound Handle until now.
If it were just an ordinary Profound Handle, people wouldn't have cared much and might have even mocked him, assuming he had hidden it out of shame. But Yun Xiao possessed a Blue Profound Handle, a terrifyingly rare phenomenon. Anyone with a Blue Profound Handle was considered the number one expert in the Illusory Demon Realm.
"How does Yun Xiao have a Blue Profound Handle?" – A member of the Yun Family asked in disbelief. Even the Demon King Yun Canghai only possessed a Cyan Profound Handle, yet he was the strongest person in both the Yun Family and the Illusory Demon Realm.
"Impossible. Wasn't Yun Xiao just a bastard child taken in and raised by the Family Head?" – Another person muttered in shock. The entire Yun Family was confident that Yun Xiao was not the son of Yun Hongkong and Mu Yurou.
It wasn't just the Yun Family members who were astonished at the sight of Yun Xiao's Profound Handle. Even Yun Hongkong, Mu Yurou, and Huan Caiyi were equally stunned. These three knew Yun Xiao was not Yun Hongkong and Mu Yurou's son, which meant he shouldn't have a Profound Handle.
Yet now, in front of them, Yun Xiao not only displayed a Profound Handle but a Blue Profound Handle, something that appeared once every thousand years or more. Its owner was destined to dominate their entire generation.
"Mei'er, return." – Unlike the others, whose faces were frozen in shock, Yu Tian remained calm. He recovered quickly, knowing better than anyone how protagonists defy logic. Yun Xiao had even surpassed Yu Tian's expectations. He had anticipated Yun Xiao would have a Cyan Profound Handle to inherit Yun Canghai's legacy, but it seemed the Primordial Fire had also refined the Yun Family bloodline devoured by Yun Xiao.
"As you command, Master," – Hu Mei'er responded without hesitation. She unleashed all her remaining power, forcing Yun Xiao back, then elegantly exited the arena. She returned to Yu Tian's side and stood respectfully.
"…" – Yun Xiao stared at Hu Mei'er and Yu Tian in disbelief. He hadn't expected Hu Mei'er to give up so easily. He had planned to fight a little longer before conceding himself. His goal wasn't to win but to showcase a fraction of his strength, including the Profound Handle. However, Yu Tian's sudden command completely ruined his plans.
"Su Yan, step in for Mei'er," – Yu Tian ordered again, disregarding the tournament's rules and the still-stunned audience witnessing Yun Xiao's Profound Handle. – "Remember, this isn't just a sparring match; it's a fight to the death."
Yu Tian's calm voice echoed throughout the venue. He made no effort to hide his intent to kill Yun Xiao, having decided to deal with him now before he became a threat in the future.
"What!!…" – Yun Hongkong rose from his seat in shock. Despite his suspicions about Yun Xiao after everything that had just occurred, Yun Xiao was still the child he had raised as his own for nearly twenty years. He couldn't sit idly by and watch him engage in a deathmatch, especially when Yun Xiao's chances of survival were less than 20%.
"As you command, Master," – Su Yan responded respectfully and vanished in a small snowstorm, reappearing in the arena a second later.
"Benefactor Yu, this is…" – Sensing Yun Hongkong's imminent outburst, Huan Caiyi didn't hesitate to restrain him, along with Mu Yurou and Number Seven Under Heaven, using her power to freeze them in place.
"Do any of you object to what I intend to do?" – Yu Tian asked coldly, narrowing his eyes as he glared at Huan Caiyi and the crowd below. The temperature of the palace visibly dropped.
The oppressive aura emanating from Yu Tian left everyone breathless. It was evident the man before them wielded incomprehensible power, capable of turning the entire continent into a sea of blood without anyone able to stop him.
Imagining Yu Tian reducing the continent to a blood-soaked wasteland sent chills down everyone's spines. The scene didn't seem impossible for someone like him, and the thought of losing their lives because of this man caused them to cast resentful glances at those who had dared oppose Yu Tian moments earlier.
"Yun Xiao, I'll give you a choice," – Yu Tian ignored the others, too indifferent to explain himself to them. He was more interested in seeing how Yun Xiao would fight Su Yan to the death. – "Either fight Su Yan and die quietly, or defeat her and kill her. I promise not to hold you accountable for her death or send others after you. I'll even reward you with abundant resources and treasures."
Yu Tian's voice was sincere, without a trace of deception. His expression exuded an air of genuine assurance, convincing anyone watching that he truly meant what he said.

Hi, this is the author, I want to apologize for the hiatus the past few days but it wasn't something I could do as I was too sick to get out of bed plus I had a severe headache that I couldn't focus on anything so I couldn't upload anything the past few days.
