Chapter 706: Chapter 704: Seize Halfway

Boom!

Elder Du’s figure rushed in front of the white-robed bishop, slamming down a heavy palm strike towards him.

The white-robed bishop, seeing Elder Du suddenly appear and launch an attack, his expression changed. With one hand holding the Heart of the Angel and the other wielding a staff to fend off the Blood Clan man’s attack, he was utterly unable to defend against Elder Du’s assault.

"Divine Barrier!"

In a critical moment, the words fervently spilled from the white-robed bishop’s mouth. With a wave of his staff, a beam of white light was released, instantly enveloping him.

Bang!

Elder Du’s palm slammed against the white light, emitting a dull sound, as he himself was forced to retreat several steps.

However, after casting the Divine Barrier, the complexion of the white-robed bishop grew increasingly pale as the strength within his body slowly dwindled.

"Hmph, Divine Barrier, today I shall break it!"

The Blood Clan man’s eyes were frigid as he coldly declared. With a wave of his hand, a black weapon appeared in his grasp, radiating a sharp and deadly aura.

"Death Scythe? No, this is just a replica!"

The white-robed bishop’s pupils contracted, his expression turning extremely grave.

"Blade of Death, shatter it for me!"

The Blood Clan man, holding the weapon, roared loudly as power madly surged into the weapon from within him. Instantly, the weapon unleashed a dark aura of destruction, violently pounding against the white barrier.

Boom!

A black light burst forth from the Blade of Death, instantly shattering the white barrier piece by piece, causing the white-robed bishop to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Whoosh!

Elder Du moved in a flash, appearing in front of the white-robed bishop, striking him once more and at the same time snatching away the Heart of the Angel.

Spurt!

The white-robed bishop staggered backward, continuously spitting out blood.

Boom!

Then the Blood Clan man, wielding the Blade of Death, also struck at Elder Du, similarly sending him retreating in succession.

Elder Du, holding the Heart of the Angel, threw it with force.

"Take the artifact and leave quickly with the Young Master!"

Elder Du shouted to the three Lan Clan powerhouses, and the Heart of the Angel was caught by them. Then they quickly departed with Lan Tian.

The Blood Clan man intended to give chase, but was blocked by Elder Du.

Meanwhile, Lan Tian and the three elders made haste in escaping, arriving in an alley where Lan Tian gasped for breath heavily.

"I wonder how Elder Du is doing?"

One elder spoke solemnly.

"Right now, our utmost priority is to leave this place with the Young Master and the Heart of Seven Crafts, and return to the Clan to report."

Another elder spoke out.

"Yes!"

The third elder nodded in agreement.

"Let me see the Heart of the Angel."

Lan Tian suddenly demanded, looking at the box held by one of them, which was promptly handed over to Lan Tian.

Lan Tian opened the box, his gaze fixed on the Heart of the Angel emitting a sacred white glow, a flash of awe apparent in his eyes.

"Alright, Young Master, let’s hurry and leave this place,"

said the three elders in unison, readying to depart the area with the four of them.

"Who are you?"

However, as they sought to leave, a figure blocked their way, his face covered, making it impossible to discern his features. This person was none other than Xiao Yifeng.

After observing for so long, he finally saw the opportunity to reap the benefits like a fisherman; he too was extremely interested in the Heart of the Angel, knowing full well that it was no ordinary item. If he had the chance, he naturally intended to seize it, and now was the perfect opportunity.

However, having heard that the Lan Family had a good relationship with the Tang Sect, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiao Yifeng also masked his face, concealing his identity.

"Drop the Heart of the Angel, and I’ll let you go!"

Xiao Yifeng’s voice came out hoarse and chillingly cold, sparks of icy light flaring in his eyes.

"You little brat really are looking for death, thinking you can rob like the others just because you’re a kid!"

An elder glared coldly at Xiao Yifeng and shouted.

Lan Tian’s gaze was fixed on Xiao Yifeng, flickering with an odd light, sensing something familiar, yet unable to recall it at the moment.

"You talk too much!"

Xiao Yifeng said indifferently, the power within his body erupting, unleashing the terrifying Starforce. The Minghong Blade burst forth, slashing viciously, and instantly, a fearsome blade light shot forth.

Boom!

The blade light descended, and the complexions of the three elders changed drastically, their eyes revealing a touch of astonishment.

Now that Xiao Yifeng’s strength had risen to the peak of the Gang Qi Realm, coupled with the Minghong Blade’s power increasing tenfold, his strike was enough to threaten a high-level expert at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm.

Thud!

A muffled sound arose as the blade light shattered, and the three elders were forced to step back involuntarily; Lan Tian was knocked back further, the box holding the Heart of the Angel falling to the ground.

"Die!"

Xiao Yifeng charged again, infusing the Minghong Blade with the frenzied power of the Starforce, the blade light flaring tremendously as he slashed fiercely once more.

The trio waved their powers in an attempt to block, but they were still forced back several dozen steps, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths.

After several consecutive strikes, the three Qi Condensation Realm peak experts had sustained internal injuries, clearly no match for Xiao Yifeng alone.

With his current strength at the peak of the Gang Qi Realm, along with the incredibly powered-up Minghong Blade and the terrifying Starforce, even without using the Nine Dragons Seal, he could still defeat a peak Qi Condensation Realm expert.

"I’ll give you one last chance, hand over the Heart of the Angel, or don’t blame me for being impolite!"

Xiao Yifeng brandished the Minghong Blade, his voice sharp and his gaze icy as he spoke, exuding an overwhelmingly domineering aura.

The three of them had shifting expressions, their eyes flickering.

"I’ll give it! I’ll give it!"

At that moment, Lan Tian rose from the ground and spoke to Xiao Yifeng.

"Young Master!"

The expressions of the three changed as they all turned to look at Lan Tian.

"If we don’t hand it over under these circumstances, none of us will escape. Do you want me, your young master, to die?"

Lan Tian’s face darkened, and with a cold glare at the three, he commanded.

The three exchanged glances and each nodded.

"For the safety of the young master, we have no choice but to hand over the Heart of the Angel!"

All three said reluctantly.

"Sensible!"

Xiao Yifeng snorted coldly, moving forward to snatch the box holding the Heart of the Angel from Lan Tian’s hands, who kept his gaze on Xiao Yifeng.

"Goodbye!"

Xiao Yifeng put away the Minghong Blade, waved his hand, and vanished from the spot.

"Young Master, now that the Heart of the Angel has been stolen, what should we do?"

An elder’s gaze turned to Lan Tian.

"Do what we have to do: just go back and report that it was stolen, that’s our bad luck this time!"

Lan Tian said flatly, his eyes shimmering with light.
