LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 794
“It’s really him!!” Liu Huangshu and a group of ancient Cultivators were shocked by the appearance of Luan.
Back then, it was this guy who brought the Kunlun Realm to the brink of annihilation, plummeting from its peak to the depths, allowing other realms to surpass it massively, turning it into a laughingstock among the heavens.
For the ancient Cultivators of the Kunlun Realm, this was a history filled with blood and tears!
So, they hated the culprit to the bone, wishing they could crush his bones into dust, imprison his soul in a soul lamp for billions of years, and never let him reincarnate!
And now.
This former sinner had actually appeared, shocking and angering the ancient Cultivators.
As Empress Fuyao said, how dare this traitor even show his face?
Luan coldly replied, “As long as I’m here, none of you can leave.”
With that, he swung the scythe in his hand, instantly expanding a white shield-like field that enveloped this entire area, trapping Empress Fuyao and the others inside.
“You think you can take us on all by yourself?” Empress Fuyao’s imposing aura skyrocketed, her phoenix eyes glinting with chilling murderous intent.
Luan’s gaze was cold, “No, I only need to hold you all back!”
That was his purpose for showing up.
The fallen leaves he had previously conversed with Emperor Tian had transformed from his magic, maximizing his concealment from Empress Fuyao and Elder Changsheng, while he lay in wait, observing the situation from outside the realm.
When anomalies occurred in the Kunlun Realm, he knew a fight had broken out, prompting him to reveal himself and come to aid.
Although he didn’t know who managed to hold up Emperor Tian, he realized that as a participant, he must step in to provide support and buy Emperor Tian more time!
“So, you have accomplices?!” Elder Changsheng’s expression changed, as a terrifying suspicion emerged in his heart, chilling him to the bone.
“You’ll find out soon enough,” Luan replied expressionlessly.
“I’ll kill you!”
Empress Fuyao could no longer hold back; her aura surged to its peak as she flashed forward, throwing a punch at the grim, black-robed man.
In this punch, she went all out, launching a deadly strike!
Luan snorted, swinging his dark red scythe, the terrifying blade gleamed, capable of cutting through star rivers.
Boom!
The explosive shockwave surged like a vast ocean.
Empress Fuyao launched a frenzied attack, each move aimed for lethal damage in her intense fury.
Luan deftly dodged, wielding the scythe with unmatched lethality.
If you looked closely, you’d see Luan’s attack power was weaker than Empress Fuyao’s, but his Body Technique was more elusive, surpassing her prideful Celestial Patrol Step several levels!
That was quite impressive, practically maxing out his evasion rate!
Empress Fuyao, fueled by rage, found that nine out of ten strikes missed. This infuriated her more, and she roared:
“You traitor, dare to fight me fairly?!”
Luan remained calm, his movements as if he could traverse between realms, unpredictable as a ghost, leading Empress Fuyao by the nose.
He replied, “Heh, I’ve been here all along; it’s just that you don’t have the ability to hurt me!”
“Damn it,” Empress Fuyao gritted her teeth, feeling incredibly vexed.
Seeing this, Elder Changsheng’s expression darkened.
Back then, the four of them each had their own strengths, but Luan’s greatest asset was his Body Technique!
Just how strong was it?
At that time, he dared to claim he was the best, and no one would dare challenge him for second place!
Now, years later, he had even greater mastery, and even Empress Fuyao’s Celestial Patrol Step couldn’t keep up!
On the other side, Hong Qianye and the others felt dizzy; they all wanted to assist Empress Fuyao in taking down Luan, but they felt like they couldn’t keep up, completely shocked by the terror of Luan’s agility.
“What do we do? Feels like we can’t get involved!” many exclaimed urgently.
Liu Huangshu’s eyes flashed with brilliance, suggesting, “Since that’s the case, let’s take the initiative and focus our power on attacking this layer of light shield, forcing him to reveal himself against us!”
Upon hearing this, Elder Changsheng’s eyes lit up, “Right, let’s do that!”
Since they couldn’t deal with him for now, they could simply turn the tables and break free together!
Immediately, everyone changed tactics, pouring their power into the surrounding light shield.
Boom boom boom…
The shield trembled violently, flickering uncertainly.
Seeing this, Luan realized something was wrong and rushed to stop their actions.
“Kill!” Empress Fuyao seized the opportunity, crazily chasing after the black-robed man, each move lethal.
Caught off-guard, Luan began to misstep, getting hit repeatedly by attacks on his true form, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
We have to understand.
When it comes to attack power, he was no match for Empress Fuyao, and in terms of defense, he was inferior to Emperor Tian. His standout was his Body Technique.
It wasn’t just about speed; it also involved evasion.
However, given the current situation, he had to forgo that advantage to directly attack his target; without that edge, his overall strength fell short of any of the three!
Even the relatively unremarkable Elder Changsheng could beat him, since Elder Changsheng’s development was balanced and lacked any particularly strong or weak points!
At that moment, pressured, Luan fell into a disadvantage, and with a careless moment, was launched away by Empress Fuyao’s palm, spitting blood.
“Do you really think you can stop all of us alone? Don’t dream!” Empress Fuyao said coldly.
Luan’s face turned pale; he gritted his teeth and gave up on hindering them, solely focusing on evasion, knowing that if he tried to obstruct them any further, he would really be a goner!
Now, he could only hope Emperor Tian would quickly succeed!
Crack crack crack~
Under everyone’s combined efforts, the cracks in the light shield grew more numerous, and soon it shattered with a loud bang.
“Pfft!” Luan was also affected, spitting another mouthful of blood, his aura greatly diminished.
“Don’t waste time on him, let’s hurry to the depths below!” Elder Changsheng shouted.
His greatest worry was the Star Core, and he was also terrified of confirming his suspicions.
Just as Elder Changsheng led everyone deeper underground, a series of thunderous booms sounded, as if something was about to burst forth from below.
Boom!!!!!!!
The next second, a blood-stained tall man flew out, his rugged face filled with grief and indignation.
Emperor Tian, forced back to the surface, was in no position to feel anything.
No choice, he was literally blasted up!
“Emperor Tian, what’s happening down there?” Empress Fuyao asked urgently.
At this point, she still had no doubts about her old friend, believing Luan’s accomplices were different people.
Elder Changsheng, however, remained silent, his gaze fixed on the injured Emperor Tian.
Emperor Tian felt a bit guilty under the scrutiny, unsure of how to respond.
“Heh, aren’t you going to explain your actions to everyone?” a silver-haired young man emerged from the pit, sneering.
He held the Human Sovereign Banner in one hand, surrounded by a group of soul slaves, looking every bit like a local big shot surrounded by his underlings!
Upon seeing the soul slaves, Elder Changsheng gasped, nearly thinking he was hallucinating.
Only Empress Fuyao and the others understood the context, so they weren’t particularly surprised.
But when they saw Ye Junlin appear, covered in blood, and combined with the events occurring, a terrible thought immediately flashed through their minds.
At that moment, the entire realm fell silent.
Countless complex gazes turned to Emperor Tian, filled with shock, disappointment, anger, and hatred.
Anyone who wasn’t a fool could see what was going on!
Empress Fuyao was in disbelief, staring blankly at Emperor Tian, as the grand, radiant image of him in her mind crumbled dramatically. Caught in a whirlwind of disappointment, pain, and anger, she nearly broke down, her voice quivering as she struggled to ask:
“W-why…”
