At the same time, the space around the four Saints instantly returned to normal.
A moment later, only a white-clothed fairy was seen slowly walking through the air in the torn Soul Realm.
Looking closely, the fairy was wearing a semi-transparent white gauze with small green patterns on the fragrant shoulders.
Her temperament was cold and indifferent, standing in the air like a mundane white lotus blooming.
Within the fine gauze, her graceful and beautiful figure was faintly visible; her slender waist was like a willow leaf.
Between the hem of the skirt, the fairy’s pair of delicate jade legs stood in a straight forward-and-backward staggered step, and on her two tiny golden lotuses that could be held in a palm, she wore a pair of white soft boots.
Her three thousand strands of black hair were casually tied behind her head with a length of pale purple ribbon, flowing gently and smoothly in the fierce, eerie wind of the Soul Realm.
A pair of jade hands as delicate as orchids, with two small golden bells hanging from her wrists by green threads, were held slanted behind her back.
Her other delicate hand lightly held a golden treasure sword, the tip pointing downwards, occasionally flashing a soul-stirring cold light.
On her right lotus arm, a point of cinnabar was faintly visible under the white gauze clothing.
The fairy stood gracefully in the air, her lotus arm shaking, the sword tip slightly raised pointing at Soul Emperor below.
On her extraordinarily beautiful face, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and a pair of agile star-like eyes held endless coldness and disgust.
Her sandalwood mouth opened slightly to ask: “Soul Emperor, where is Brother Xiao Yan?” Seeing that the newcomer was unfriendly, Soul Emperor now focused with 120% of his attention.
With his Dou Di realm, he could distinguish that the Gu Clan fairy before him already had the strength of a 9-star Dou Sheng.
Combined with various Gu Clan inheritances, secret techniques, and treasures, she was truly a top figure on the continent.
Before the war of the two Emperors, when Soul Emperor fought the Gu Clan allied forces, he had briefly exchanged blows with her, and back then he deeply knew that this Gu Clan eldest miss, who favored Xiao Yan, possessed terrifying combat power.
With his current strength of only about a 7 or 8-star Dou Sheng, scaring those four newly promoted young Dou Sheng was fine, but if it truly came to blows, he didn’t have much confidence in gaining an advantage against the five of them.
After thinking for a long time, Soul Emperor said: “How he is, how should this seat know?
But when he breaks the seal and escapes from the Abyss of Two Emperors, the first thing he will do is find you.
You should know this better than this seat.” Originally, when Xun Er saw the emergency transmission charm blooming in the Gu Clan sky, she immediately followed the hidden escape technique paths left between the Gu Clan elders and shattered the void to come to the Soul Realm.
She never expected to run into Soul Emperor, who had broken out of the seal, here.
And now, hearing these words from Soul Emperor, Xun Er’s eyes instantly became misty.
Seeing the enemy escaped while her beloved one’s return was still unknown, how could Xun Er not feel sorrowful?
Just as she was about to speak, another two grey-blue figures also shattered the void and came.
Looking at one of them, who was around 30 years old with a square face and a long beard, tall and sturdy, his cultivation was also at the peak of 9-star Dou Sheng, just like Xun Er—the newcomer was none other than the current head of the Gu Clan, Gu Qingyang!
And the other hunchbacked old man in a white robe was the Supreme Elder of the Gu Clan who had already left and traveled far and wide, Gu Dao!
Soul Emperor secretly thought things were bad.
Apart from those four useless elders, if it were only one 9-star Dou Sheng like Xun Er, he could barely fight her.
Facing three 9-star Dou Sheng at the same time was truly difficult.
Knowing today’s situation was unfavorable, Soul Emperor reached out his right hand, tore off the red-edged black robe he was wearing, and threw it on the ground, revealing the black gold-rimmed combat suit he wore underneath.
He slowly took off that white, evil-smiling mask, revealing a handsome and timeless face with eyebrows like swords and star-like eyes that commanded awe.
“Come then!” Following Soul Emperor’s sharp cry, the black figure suddenly vanished, appearing instantly behind Gu Dao, then striking with a palm.
A fierce battle kicked off at this moment.
Facing the suddenly sneak-attacking palm from Soul Emperor, Gu Dao didn’t dare take it head-on.
He crossed his hands to protect his chest and took three steps back diagonally, narrowly avoiding this fatal palm.
Xun Er’s Demon-Slaying Golden Sword and Gu Qingyang’s Bone-Jade Folding Fan attacked from both sides simultaneously.
Soul Emperor still used that shape-shifting and shadow-swapping technique to avoid the incoming attacks.
In a breath’s time, he appeared three zhang away.
“You four little fellows!
Form a formation to protect yourselves!
Find a chance to escape quickly!” In the air, Gu Dao suddenly shouted at Gu Yao and the other three.
A right palm extended from under his white robe with matchless aura and rushed toward Soul Emperor.
Following a shout of “Heaven-Shattering Palm!”, the space around Soul Emperor suddenly began to shatter inch by inch, followed by an overwhelming palm force rushing toward his face.
“The old fellow still has some skill!” Soul Emperor praised.
His hands began to change instantly.
His left hand was wrapped in the invisible Nothingness Devouring Flame, and his right hand was wrapped in soul power as he took Gu Dao’s full-force palm head-on.
Amidst the shattering space and the sky full of dust, Soul Emperor appeared like a ghost beside Gu Qingyang and struck again with a palm.
This palm came too suddenly; Gu Qingyang gave a muffled groan, and his entire right arm was suddenly broken.
At this moment, Xun Er’s golden sword timely forced back Soul Emperor, and Gu Qingyang managed to escape, quickly adjusting his breath to treat his wound.
In the midst of the flying and flipping, the four had already fought hundreds of rounds.
Although the extremely treacherous moves Soul Emperor performed every time forced the three Gu Clan members into awkward positions, he just couldn’t manage to kill even one of them.
None of these three were easy to deal with.
After fighting for a while, the three’s cooperation became increasingly tacit.
Soul Emperor was secretly crying out in frustration; currently, he was relying only on the Dou Di realm to barely hold on, and his actual weakened Dou Qi was not enough to exert even one-tenth of his Dou Di strength.
Realizing that dragging this on would only make the situation worse, Soul Emperor, after receiving a blow from Gu Qingyang’s fan, suddenly retreated several zhang in the air, while his hands began to move in front of his chest.
“Watch out!” Gu Qingyang shouted.
After hundreds of rounds, Xun Er and her party had actually discovered that Soul Emperor’s current state was not very good.
They felt somewhat fortunate.
If it were back during the great war, fighting a Dou Di with Dou Sheng strength would have been truly impossible.
The current Soul Emperor, although still using space to gather origin energy and each of his moves still weighed a thousand jun (approx.
30,000 kg), was not unstoppable.
Thus, they calmed their hearts and focused on fighting with full force.
As they spoke, Soul Emperor’s eyes glowed with intense red light.
Following the completion of the technique, “Scarlet Soul Blade!!
Slash!” An red blade pierced through the void straight toward Xun Er!
This was a secret technique that condensed Soul Emperor’s current highest cultivation.
The red blade pierced forward with a force that could split anything, and it was unavoidable.
Even from several zhang away, the blade’s aura made Xun Er’s face sting.
Then, her beautiful eyes suddenly turned completely golden.
The roaring Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame quickly appeared around Xun Er.
