"Tell me where that girl is and I guarantee that I will leave you with a wisp of your soul!"
Old ghost Yu Du's eyes stared intently at Xiao Yan. An endless amount of greed was revealed in his eyes. His expression appeared somewhat ferocious. His originally distorted face caused one to feel even more terrified at this moment!
Xiao Yan could not help but frown when he heard Yu Du's words. He thought to himself, Is this old ghost Yu Du asking me about Lian 'er? Could it be that … Lian' er's Woeful Poison Body is related to the Crossing Disaster Sect?
The change in expression on Xiao Yan's face was naturally captured by the astute old ghost Yu Du. When he saw Xiao Yan's expression, he was even more certain that Xiao Yan, who was in front of him, knew the whereabouts of the little girl he had been searching for all this while!
A cold smile involuntarily flashed across the corners of Yu Du's mouth. It looked extremely strange and sinister. After which, he slowly lifted his slightly transparent palm and suddenly waved it. His palm turned into a claw and stood upright in front of Xiao Yan. His five shriveled yet incomparably sharp fingers caused tiny cracks to involuntarily appear on Xiao Yan's face. Drops of bright red blood spread out. In the withered wind, Xiao Yan looked like an assassin who had walked through a sea of blood. His entire body was filled with a vicious aura.
Upon seeing this scene, the third hall master, who was standing behind old ghost Yu Du, could not help but frown.
What old ghost Yu Du had said earlier naturally fell into the third hall master's ears. However, the third hall master did not have any impression of the little girl that old ghost Yu Du had mentioned.
One must know that ever since Xiao Yan came to the Yuanwu Continent, he had been constantly being pursued by the third hall master and the others. If there was such an eye-catching little girl by his side, they would definitely know. However, the scene today caused him to repeatedly ponder. He did not expect that old ghost Yu Du was still hiding something from him and even wanted to secretly scheme against him. This person really had unfathomable motives!
However, after the third hall master noticed the rich greed in old ghost Yu Du's eyes, his doubtful expression immediately changed as though he had thought of something. A strange look involuntarily flashed across his eyes as he looked at Xiao Yan.
"Hehe … how is it? As long as you tell this old man where that little girl is now, this old man will leave behind a wisp of essence spirit for you today. The misunderstanding between the two of us today will also end here. I will walk my own path, and you will walk your own path. In the future, we will have nothing to do with each other! "
Xiao Yan's heart involuntarily trembled a little as he sensed the unprecedented dangerous aura in front of him. He would naturally not reveal the matter regarding Lian 'er. The fact that Xiao Yan was able to grow to such an extent meant that his experience was comparable to some genuine old demons. In Xiao Yan's eyes, the words from old ghost Yu Du's mouth were already filled with loopholes!
Leaving behind a strand of his soul was no different from directly erasing him. At most, it would only allow him to struggle in this world for a while longer.
This fellow would definitely not give him the slightest chance of survival. Perhaps Old Ghost Yu Du's actions were even more vicious than directly killing him!
With Xiao Yan's personality, how could he possibly submit to such things?!
He would rather be a heroic spirit than a coward! In the face of a great calamity, he did not fear death!
This was the real reason why Xiao Yan was able to grow to such an extent!
With this thought in mind, a heroic spirit rose in Xiao Yan's heart. The aura in his eyes solidified, and a glint flashed across them. The gaze with which he looked at old ghost Yu Du became increasingly sharp.
His eyes flashed, and the crack at the corner of his eyes caused the corners of Xiao Yan's eyes to involuntarily tremble. Although this scene was not considered eye-catching, it was still reflected in old ghost Yu Du's eyes. Immediately, old ghost Yu Du released a cold laugh in his heart.
"Heh, as expected, the stronger one is, the more one fears death. Tsk tsk tsk tsk. As long as Xiao Yan's life falls into this old man's hands today, I will see if you will obediently explain yourself. Tsk tsk tsk tsk …"
A thought passed through old ghost Yu Du's mind, and the vigorous Spiritual Strength in his body once again gathered between his fingers. His originally sharp aura soared once again. This time, Xiao Yan's facial features became a little distorted under this force.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, I wonder if you have thought it through? As long as you can tell me where that little girl is now, I will guarantee that your soul will not be destroyed today! I will allow you to regain your physical body! "
Old ghost Yu Du's eyes suddenly became sharp. He waved his hand, and the space in front of Xiao Yan instantly collapsed. The pitch-black and deep endless void gave one a chilling feeling of being devoured. It was as though once one entered, one would never be able to come out alive!
Xiao Yan's expression involuntarily changed when he saw this. At this moment, he was being suppressed by the third hall master's full strength, and the might of the Heavy Spirit Region poured out in torrents. Even Xiao Yan would have difficulty turning the situation around at this moment. If old ghost Yu Du really attacked him, it was likely that he would really take a step into the door of life and death today!
Old ghost Yu Du was quite satisfied with the change in Xiao Yan's expression. What he wanted to see was the frightened expression on Xiao Yan's face. As long as this was the case, he would feel even more comfortable teasing Xiao Yan. He wanted Xiao Yan to lose all the dignity that belonged to a Half-emperor expert!
Xiao Yan's heart gradually calmed down in response to this. It seemed that old ghost Yu Du only wanted to toy with him. However, how could Xiao Yan be manipulated by others? His expression immediately changed, and he coldly smiled at old ghost Yu Du. He laughed.
"Looks like you don't really dare to kill me!"
"Oh?"
Old ghost Yu Du's expression changed slightly, and he coldly snorted. His shriveled hand grabbed Xiao Yan's neck, and he suddenly tightened his grip. Xiao Yan's face was already flushed red from suffocation, but his expression when he looked at old ghost Yu Du still did not show the slightest bit of fear.
"Humph!"
With a cold snort, old ghost Yu Du loosened his grip and removed it from Xiao Yan's neck. Immediately, he coldly said.
"You are really bold. You actually dare to use this to provoke this old man!"
Xiao Yan smiled when he heard this. He coughed and panted for a while, and his flushed face gradually faded. He ignored old ghost Yu Du's cold words, and his eyes stared straight at old ghost Yu Du. He coldly laughed and said.
"Since you want to obtain something from me, I can naturally ask you to do something for me. Don't you think so?"
Old ghost Yu Du narrowed his eyes. He naturally understood why Xiao Yan said these words. At this moment, he was under the control of the Heavy Spirit Region. The reason why he said these words was because he wanted him to attack the third hall master behind him.
When the third hall master heard Xiao Yan's words, he could not help but be slightly shocked. The expression on his face also became ugly. Did this old ghost Yu Du really dare to attack him?
"Old ghost Yu Du! This Xiao Yan is a great enemy of both of us. At this moment, the old me has restrained him with great difficulty. If you were to change your mind at this moment, forget about the old me, it is likely that the both of us will lose our old lives here today! "
At this critical moment, the third hall master could not help but shout at old ghost Yu Du, hoping that he would be able to attack Xiao Yan first. After all, he did not wish for his plan to kill two birds with one stone to be destroyed by Xiao Yan!
When old ghost Yu Du heard the third hall master's words, his heart moved slightly. He had personally experienced Xiao Yan's fighting strength. Forget about the current him, even if Xiao Yan was at his peak with the protection of the Heavenly Flame, he would definitely not be a match for him!
Now, he naturally did not want to let go of such a good opportunity. However, the jade pendant on Xiao Yan's chest was truly tempting him.
Others might not know about that little girl, but he was someone who came from the Du E Sect. How could he not know!
That little girl would allow him to become a truly powerful person. At that time, forget about the Du E Sect, it was likely that even the strongest faction would have to think twice before facing him!
One side was life, and the other side was strength. One could not have both the fish and the bear's paw. Today, he could only choose one!
Old ghost Yu Du narrowed his eyes into a line as he looked at Xiao Yan. Immediately, he glanced at the third hall master from the corner of his eyes. If either of these two people were to survive, they would definitely be a great threat to him. If he wanted to live, then the two people beside him must die today!
A ruthless look flashed across the depths of his eyes. Two powerful Half-martial Emperors actually wanted him, a seriously injured person, to judge their life and death. To him, this was a kind of opportunity!
"One cannot have both the fish and the bear's paw? Tsk tsk tsk tsk. Today, this old man wants to see if this old man can have both! "
Old ghost Yu Du glanced at Xiao Yan with a pitiful expression. After which, he used the corner of his eyes to stare at the third hall master behind him. Old ghost Yu Du licked his dry lips in a bloodthirsty manner and sneered at Xiao Yan.
"Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, tsk tsk tsk tsk. I'm sorry, but this old man still chooses to live. After all, without life, what is the use of strength …"
Before his voice sounded, the expression on Xiao Yan's face had already become solemn. This old ghost Yu Du clearly intended to kill him!
When the third hall master, who was standing behind old ghost Yu Du, heard these words of old ghost Yu Du, he involuntarily let out a cold laugh in his heart. As long as Xiao Yan was defeated, no one in Yanluo City would be able to fight against him today!
On the other side, without waiting for Xiao Yan to make a move, old ghost Yu Du's terrifying finger pointed at the spot between Xiao Yan's brows. At the same time, a somewhat hoarse cry was emitted from old ghost Yu Du's mouth.
"Poison Finger!"
As old ghost Yu Du cried out, a shriveled palm suddenly smashed towards the third hall master's chest behind him.
This seemingly ordinary palm caused the entire world to shake the moment it was unleashed. In an instant, the empty space shattered, and the area within a hundred mile radius around the three of them was turned into nothingness!
A Half-martial Emperor was indeed extremely powerful. Even though his body was seriously injured, he was still able to attract the might of the world. He was indeed worthy of being called a true peak expert in the continent!
The third hall master's expression had already turned into one of shock the moment the palm struck. He did not expect old ghost Yu Du to actually dare to attack him. However, the opportunity had already passed, and it was already too late for him to do anything. Additionally, with the control of the Heavy Spirit Region, it was even more impossible for him to dodge. Hence, he could only stand and watch the attack arrive!
In merely an instant, old ghost Yu Du's towering finger had already arrived in front of Xiao Yan. The strong and ferocious wind caused Xiao Yan's long hair to dance continuously. Xiao Yan also involuntarily shut his eyes, as though he was waiting for the moment of death to arrive.
"Is this really the only way … ancestor Xiao Xuan, Xun Er, Cai Lin … I never expected that I will have to completely leave all of you so soon after arriving in this strange world …"
At this moment, a bitterness involuntarily surged into Xiao Yan's heart. The reluctance to part with Xun Er and Cai Lin in his heart was indescribable. Additionally, he felt … guilt towards Xiao Xuan.
"Bang!"
An explosive sound appeared. Two figures flew out from the pitch-black darkness in the sky. Soon after, they heavily smashed into the endless abyss, and their figures disappeared …
