Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 1281: Chapter 1267: The Power of a Single Glance

"Even if it costs me my life, I must keep you here!"

Fire burned in Xiao Yi’s eyes, full of fighting spirit.

My heart is like iron, unbreakable and indestructible.

My heart is like a sword, sharp and unstoppable!

His will was inherently strong, not something to be deterred by the opponent’s might.

Moreover...

Having grasped the heart of a benevolent one, Xiao Yi had no thought of retreat at this moment.

If he stands firm.

There might still be a chance to block this freed demon and protect countless living beings behind him in the six provinces.

If he retreats.

If the Hall Master of Death escapes from the extreme south, it would truly be a disaster, affecting billions upon billions of lives.

At this moment...

Sounds of the void being pierced echoed.

It was Master Nantian and others who finally arrived, and upon seeing the scene before them, their faces were filled with disbelief: "This, did the Hall Master of Death break free?"

"When the sound came earlier, we already suspected. We held onto a sliver of hope, but did not expect it to truly come to pass..."

"What can be done now? Hall Master of Death, even during Ancient Times, few could contend with him..."

"Perhaps... we should withdraw? As long as we protect our sacred ground, he might not be able to harm us!"

"If we leave, what happens to the billions of lives in the Qingtian Realm?" Master Nantian asked, silencing the other masters.

Sacred ground of the Human Race.

To shelter humanity.

No matter the battles, no matter the hatred wielded by their enemies.

At this moment...

Their enemy was united!

Zi Feng took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Yi, "Saint Lord Xiao, how much chance do you have of winning?"

Everyone turned their gaze to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi let out a bitter smile, "This is the Hall Master of Death, one of the ancient overlords... However, I believe in righteousness on earth, defending humanity, for we will not be defeated by him!"

Everyone fell silent.

Xiao Yi’s words bore no fear, and were filled with overwhelming combat readiness.

Yet...

They could hear he lacked confidence.

"If..."

Master Nantian gritted his teeth, "If before he completely breaks free, a Sacred Venerate Realm warrior were to self-destruct within, could it increase our chances of success?"

Self-destruct by a Sacred Venerate?

Everyone inhaled sharply.

If a Sacred Venerate Realm warrior were to self-destruct, that would be true destruction with devastating power.

"Even if it can’t kill him, it can severely wound him!"

"But... who will go?"

Everyone looked at each other, silent.

Huff!

Master Nantian exhaled heavily, a light smile appeared on his face, "Since I proposed it, I will be the one to go!"

"No way!"

Xiao Yi quickly interjected.

Master Nantian shook his head, smiled, and said, "Xiao Yi, I once guarded the battlefield beyond the realm, worrying the powers of the Hall of Longevity might resurge. But to think the first issue to arise is within the Qingtian Realm, now it’s different; with a promising Guardian like you, even if I die, I have no regrets!"

"Nantian, listen to me..."

Xiao Yi said anxiously, "We know nothing of the Hall Master of Death’s current condition; if you rush in to self-destruct, you might not harm him at all, and simply sacrifice yourself in vain."

"Even if there’s only a sliver of hope, I must try!"

Master Nantian declared, inhaling deeply, enunciating each word.

Just then.

That blood-colored bubble suddenly contracted frantically, within a moment shrinking to the smallest size possible.

"He is coming out!"

"It’s too late to self-destruct now; everyone, prepare to fight to the death!"

"Let’s not damage our morale; it’s merely an ancient relic. After being suppressed for so many years, who knows how much strength remains; it’s possible we can fight!" Fang Tianchi said.

The Tiance Clan had previously dealt with the Hall of Longevity.

He was well aware of the Hall Master of Death’s power.

If it was the Hall Master of Death at peak power descending, there would be no thought of fighting, only fleeing. But this Hall Master had been sealed for years, unlikely to be at peak.

Coupled with the alliance of Xiao Yi and others, there remained a semblance of fighting spirit.

Boom!

The blood-colored bubble exploded violently.

Then.

A blood-colored figure emerged from the depths of Spirit Lake and the blasted apart stele.

A scintillating blood-red light shone intensely.

Like a blood-red Ancient Star falling to earth, the light could transcend ancient time and space, seemingly slicing through sun and moon. As the blood-red light slowly gathered, what appeared before everyone was a head.

The head was human-like, but its eyes were entirely blood-red, with only a gold point at their center like pupils.

On the forehead was a spiraled green horn, imparting an impression of piercing the sky with sharpness.

Blood-red long hair billowed from this solitary head, like strands of blood-red serpents, blood dripped from the fractured neck.

Drops of blood dripped to the ground.

Where the blood absorbed, all life within a hundred miles vanished.

The blood flowed endlessly, inexhaustible.

Such an eerie sight.

"Head, head?"

"Is what’s sealed here not the entire Hall Master of Death? Just a head?"

Everyone looked at each other, their faces turned to horror. noveldrama

To cause such terrifying earthly phenomena.

To make eight Sacred Venerate Realm warriors on edge, was it merely the Hall Master of Death’s head?

For a moment.

They felt a chill and their skin pricked!

Just a head alone was this fearsome.

If the complete Hall Master of Death appeared here, how terrifying would it be!

"Insignificant humans, you are attempting to impede my escape?" Hall Master of Death’s head had those blood-red eyes, the gold light flickered slightly, emitting sharp chill, spoke sinisterly.

"I expected the Hall Master of Death to be fearsome, but is there only a head? Seems like Ancient battle left you badly damaged, now you’re at a fraction of peak power!" Zi Feng laughed loudly.

Their tense nerves relaxed upon realizing only the head of the Hall Master of Death was sealed.

However...

Before his laugh ceased.

Xiao Yi’s expression shifted, shouted low, "Move quickly!"

"Ah?"

Zi Feng was stunned, then felt his senses explode.

Rushed crossing arms in front, two purple lights intertwined, crossing like two purple dragons wrapping each other. In a moment forming a Twin Dragon Shield, but just as the shield formed.

A blood-colored ray already crashed.

Boom!

A thunderous sound.

The Twin Dragon Shield shattered with a burst of purple light.

Brilliant light scattered like star points, cascading down.

Zi Feng cried out painfully, forced backward by the aftermath of blood light dozens of miles, crashed into the solid frozen earth below south. The terrifying force didn’t stop, leading Zi Feng to continue flying back, the echoing boom enduring.

Leaving a tens of miles long groove on the land.

Screech!

Xiao Yi and others gasped, fixating on the gruesome head hovering before them, cold sweat bead by bead rolling off brows: "Even a glance, such terror?"
