In a battle between experts, victory or defeat could be determined by a hair's breadth.
Ye Zichen heard that clear shout as well. He didn't know who it was that'd stopped Gu Li, but as soon as Gu Li froze, he realized this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Xuan-Yuan Sword instantly appeared in his hand, and golden light surged towards Gu Li like a golden wave.
Danger!
Gu Li had experienced countless battles, both big and small. As soon as the Xuan-Yuan Sword's light swept past him, he sensed danger, which made his scalp go numb.
He pushed forward with his left hand. Just as the sword light was about to swallow him up, a pitch-black blade appeared in his hand.
Boom!
A deafening explosion reverberated through the Fox Clan's back mountains. Kui Lin, the Demon Emperor, the Left and Right Emissaries, the Western Regions King, the Southern Kingdom King, and all the other experts were visibly alarmed. To Ye Zichen and his people, this was a signal to attack.
"Kill!"
Hu Bazi suddenly leapt into the sky and roared. The Upheaval Alliance and Profound Pavilion's members didn't hesitate at all. They charged towards the demon and yao armies.
Yang Jian and the other emperor-level experts were locked in combat with the Southern Kingdom's King and his men.
"Don't move."
Just as the Demon Emperor was about to investigate Gu Li's situation, a strand of cold energy locked onto him. He instinctively stopped in his tracks. He looked back and saw Su Yiyun standing behind him, a cold smile on his face. His entire body was enveloped in a purplish-black demonic aura.
The Demon Emperor's body was shrouded in the same mist as Su Yiyun's.
"The new Emperor of Hades!"
"You're the disciple who disappointed Master for ten thousand years, aren't you?" Su Yiyun's eyes flashed with cold light. "You made Master so sad, but he can't bear to take care of you. In that case, I'll do it for him."
"You?" sneered Kui Lin.
"You'll know once you try."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yiyun seemed to have grown dozens of arms. He fiddled with the space around him, and ripples spread out like waves in the sea.
All of this happened in the time it takes a spark to fly off a flint. By the time Kui Lin came to his senses ….
He found himself within a formation of heavenly fire.
"Enjoy being burned by the Heavenly Fire!"
The shockwaves from the collision of sword light and Gu Li's attack didn't subside for a long time. Neither the yao nor demons cared about Gu Li's survival. They clearly had the advantage in numbers, yet they were so busy that they couldn't afford to spare any manpower.
"Children, kill for Old Sun!"
"Little bastards, let's see how you're going to defend against Grandpa Yang Jian's saber!"
…
Ye Zichen took advantage of this opportunity to take out a black pagoda and tossed it into the air.
Suddenly, a pitch-black pagoda that pierced through the clouds appeared in the sky.
"Return!"
A devouring power immediately appeared at the bottom of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, trying to suck Su Yan and the others into it.
"In your dreams!"
Suddenly, from the impact of the explosion, a black sword light swept past.
Ding.
He held the Xuan-Yuan Sword horizontally in front of his chest, and with a crisp clang, the sword light was deflected. At the same time, Ye Zichen also saw a figure dashing towards Su Yan and co.
"Sword Shakes Eight Desolates!"
The Xuan-Yuan Divine Sword slashed horizontally.
The instant it moved, countless beams of sword energy similar in size to the Xuan-Yuan Divine Sword appeared in the sky. One, two, three …. In the blink of an eye, the sword energy around Ye Zichen was so dense that it was hard to tell how many there were.
As the Sacred Sword pointed forward, countless streams of Sword Qi blasted towards that figure.
To prevent Su Yan, Keke, and the others from being injured, Ye Zichen reached out and created an energy barrier in front of them.
The sword energy exploded, and Gu Li, who was at the center of the explosion, was heavily injured.
Ye Zichen couldn't possibly give him any chance to recover. He stomped the ground with his right foot and hurled the Xuan-Yuan Sword with all his might. With a clang, it stabbed into the ground right next to Gu Li. Ye Zichen followed closely behind, pulled the Xuan-Yuan Sword up, and held it against Gu Li's neck.
"If you don't want him to die, then stop!"
In truth, Gu Li's cultivation wasn't all that high.
He could act so unruly because of his subordinates. Without the protection of the Left and Right Envoys, capturing him wouldn't be difficult at all.
Gu Li's black robes had long since been ripped to shreds by Ye Zichen's divine power arm, and Ye Zichen's hand grabbed him by the neck. Several bone-deep wounds were left on his back, and his injuries were very frightening.
When the great emperors of the yao and demon realms heard this, they froze. None of them would've guessed that Gu Li and Ye Zichen's clash would end so quickly. When they saw that Gu Li had been captured, the yao and demon experts didn't dare act rashly. They resentfully retreated elsewhere.
"Ye-zi."
Yang Jian and the Great Sage landed as well. When he saw Gu Li's captive, the Great Sage raised his staff and was about to smash him in the head.
"Monkey, don't …."
Yang Jian hurriedly pulled him back. "If you hit him with that staff, you'll smash his head in."
"Leaving someone like him alive will only bring disaster. I might as well beat him to death," snorted the Great Sage.
Gu Li's face was pale, but he sneered disdainfully. When the Great Sage saw this, he was even more enraged. Gu Li, however, didn't seem to mind at all. Although his breathing was weak, his expression was as disdainful and mocking as ever.
"If you have the guts, beat me to death! Beat me to death! None of you are leaving!"
"Gu Li."
Suddenly, a low, trembling moan appeared in the void.
"Don't go over there. It's too dangerous."
Two women stood in the air above the Fox Clan. One was Xiao Yumei, and the other was the girl Ye Zichen had met in the Outside, An Lu.
The main reason they'd appeared here was because An Lu wanted to come over.
Coincidentally, Xiao Yumei was worried about the situation here as well. The two of them hit it off right away. After explaining the Upheaval Alliance's situation, they hurried over.
At this moment, An Lu couldn't help but struggle to get to the front lines of the battlefield. Xiao Yumei held onto her tightly from behind, not letting her move.
An Lu struggled to no avail. All she could do was stare blankly at the spot where Gu Li had been swallowed.
Sparkling and translucent tears dripped down her cheeks.
At that moment, there was another explosion in the sky. Xiao Yumei narrowed her eyes and sent out her divine sense. She sensed that at least ten million people had gathered around the Fox Clan's territory.
Based on their auras, she could tell that they were all yao experts.
Even more terrifying, there were a few auras that made her feel immense pressure.
"Zichen, there are experts!"
