Ye Wumen clutched onto Ye Zijian, their hearts racing with fear as they flew towards the western horizon.
Echoing in their ears was Xuan Yuan Rou's chilling voice, like a curse, “Today, you are doomed.”
“Ye Wumen, your fate today will be just like your name—there is no way to heaven and no door to earth!”
Ye Zijian and Ye Wumen were utterly terrified; they could hear Xuan Yuan Rou's voice, but her figure remained hidden from sight.
The shadow of death loomed over both their hearts.
Half an hour later, as Ye Wumen gazed at the void beyond a hundred thousand celestial li, Long Xiaolin was flying towards him. With an anxious expression, he shouted, “Dragon City Lord, my nephew Ye Longyun is your dear friend. You must protect us!”
Long Xiaolin replied solemnly, “Don’t worry, with me here, Xuan Yuan Rou won’t be able to harm you in the slightest…”
Suddenly, Long Xiaolin's words came to a halt, and he yelled, “Be careful, she’s on your left!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Yuan Rou, clad in Heavenly Profound Ice Armor, appeared out of thin air to the left of Ye Wumen. She unleashed a terrifying blood-red sword aura that surged towards Ye Wumen and Ye Zijian!
The speed was so fast that Long Xiaolin couldn’t intervene in time!
Ye Wumen and Ye Zijian found themselves unable to evade!
“Zijian, run!”
In a moment of crisis, Ye Wumen pushed Ye Zijian away.
As Ye Zijian flew backwards towards Long Xiaolin, he cried out, “Uncle!”
Ye Wumen flipped his right hand, and a broad blade, two zhang long, appeared in his grip. He slashed upwards, conjuring a sky-high golden blade aura formed by the power of the emperor, cleaving towards the incoming blood-red sword aura!
“Bang!”
“Rumble—”
In the deafening explosion, the void within a million celestial li collapsed, and in the dark space chasm, only the golden blade aura and the blood-red sword aura shone brightly!
The power of the blood-red sword aura was so formidable that it shattered the golden blade aura and instantly sliced towards Ye Wumen!
“Golden Mysterious Dao Shield!”
Ye Wumen roared, and a golden beam shot from his mouth, rapidly transforming into a hundred zhang wide golden umbrella-like shield above his head.
This Golden Mysterious Dao Shield was a mid-grade dao artifact!
“Bang—Crackle!”
As the blood-red sword aura struck the Golden Mysterious Dao Shield, it shattered into countless pieces, while the blood-red sword aura also dissipated!
“Puff! Puff!”
The fragments of the golden dao shield, carrying streams of blood, pierced through Ye Wumen's chest, hands, and arms, as if he had been stabbed multiple times by a sword.
“Puff!”
Severely injured, Ye Wumen spat blood and flew backwards towards Long Xiaolin.
“Die!”
Xuan Yuan Rou sped through the void, her right arm suddenly flicking forward. The blood-red Heavenly Mysterious Ice Sword in her jade hand pierced through the air, splattering blood as it shot through Ye Wumen’s forehead!
“Whoosh!”
Next, the Heavenly Mysterious Ice Sword shot towards Ye Zijian’s throat!
“Xuan Yuan Rou actually dares to kill Ye Wumen, he is the uncle of the young city lord of Dragon Cloud City!” Long Xiaolin roared, unleashing the death attribute emperor power within him. Holding a dark long sword, he transformed into a curve through the void, bypassing Ye Zijian, and slashed the Heavenly Mysterious Ice Sword away!
“What does it matter? Even if he’s Ye Longyun's uncle, I would still kill him without hesitation!” Xuan Yuan Rou’s cold voice echoed as she beckoned the Heavenly Mysterious Ice Sword back into her jade hand.
“Long Xiaolin, you shall die!” A cunning glint flashed in Xuan Yuan Rou's sapphire-like pupils as she charged towards Long Xiaolin.
“Vixen, this city lord is not afraid of you!” Long Xiaolin wielded his dark long sword, unleashing sharp blade auras of the death attribute emperor power towards Xuan Yuan Rou!
At that moment, however, Xuan Yuan Rou suddenly abandoned her fight with Long Xiaolin. With her right hand holding the sword, she formed a technique with her left hand in the void and shot towards Ye Zijian, coldly declaring, “Heavenly Mysterious Ice Peak!”
