Chapter 1105: Chapter Six Hundred Ninety-Three

After a moment of contemplation, Emperor Bai asked:

"Xu Changtian, is it necessary to kill him?"

Lady Wen nodded lightly:

"From the perspective of Ancient Abyss, we might wish for another Xu Yinhè to arise at the Prime Minister’s Mansion. But from our standpoint, we no longer need a second Xu Yinhè."

"If that’s the case, I won’t insist on this matter."

Emperor Bai’s voice was low and calm. He glanced sideways at the Qilin Wolf and asked, "But this Qilin Wolf—will you hand it over as agreed, or shall I take it myself?"

Lady Wen did not respond directly:

"The death Dao Charm of Xu Changtian has already tainted it. If he wills it, the Qilin Wolf can die at any moment.

"Moreover,

"Hasn’t your true purpose for coming here already been achieved?

"The Dayan Sect and the Imperial Court have now torn apart their facade, just as you wished."

"....."

Without responding, Emperor Bai gazed at the two figures who had already dashed and leapt onto the city wall.

With this, that kid should be able to escape.

He nodded slightly. Emperor Bai’s form, surrounded by dragon shadows, floated into the air. Looking down at several similarly featured women below, he spoke softly:

"Then Lady Wen, until next time. Fortune may decree that our next meeting will come in the form of a battle to the death."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Buzz————

The dragon shadows dispersed in place, and in the sky above a meteor streaked across the Sky Dome....

Watching Emperor Bai leave, Lady Wen shifted her gaze to the fleeing pair’s silhouettes, speaking coolly:

"You want to abandon Zhenxi Prefecture City and retreat? With Tian Yuan’s current stance, no one will stop you. But it seems you’ve forgotten someone, haven’t you?"

As her words fell, as if confirming her declaration—

Hiss————

A wall of flames formed by the Flame Dao Domain suddenly surged on the west city wall, spanning like an insurmountable chasm before the two escapees....

...

...

"That old bastard!"

Enduring the agony of his skin being scorched, Xu Yuan cursed sharply and without hesitation. He pushed the Blood Essence Meteoring Art to its utmost and instantly condensed the piercing Sky Blade Sword Technique onto his index and middle fingers.

But just as he was about to break through the wall, an attack by a hunchbacked elder emerged from the flames—a sudden ambush impossible to evade.

Xu Yuan’s Spiritual Vision caught it, but he couldn’t avoid it.

Or rather,

If he dodged, Li Junwu in his arms would be struck instead.

[First, get Li Junwu out of here, then use Step Void Slash to escape.]

The thought flashed across his mind.

Amidst the countless sparks scattering through the air, Xu Yuan forcefully pierced through the wall of flames with the Sky Blade Sword Technique and tossed his loyal brother through the gap, pushing him out of the city.

"Changtian!!!"

Amid Li Junwu’s stunned shout, Xu Yuan took the full force of the Saint’s attack head-on.

The remnant shadow that Xu Yuan turned into streaked through the air as a trail of light, crashing heavily into the marketplace in the western part of the city—now a ruin.

"Cough cough....."

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Xu Yuan forcefully mended his wounds using the Life Domain and, with effort, stood up to gaze ahead.

As expected, the hunchbacked elder was already closing in, bringing forth an overwhelming array of burning flames like an inescapable shadow.

Looking up, the entire Sky Dome seemed to be shrouded by the magnificent, blazing clouds of a sunset.

Qin Ke, baring a sinister smile despite her mangled body nearly butchered into pieces by Feng Jiuxuan, sneered:

"Kid, after taking your help, I was brutally tormented by Feng Jiuxuan. And now, do you think it’s too late to try fleeing?"

Spitting out another mouthful of blood, Xu Yuan took a deep breath and, with the last remnants of Origin Qi circulating through him, activated the Layered Pattern Secret Art. He retorted scornfully:

"If I were at full strength, killing you would be like slaughtering a dog."

The hunchbacked elder chuckled coldly upon hearing this. His single arm extended outward, and he sneered:

"This old man is gravely injured too. If you have the guts, why not give it a try?"

As he spoke,

A fireball instantly descended, marking a boundary to imprison Xu Yuan within.

But before he could feel the pain of the flames scorching his body, Xu Yuan sensed the disappearance of Emperor Bai’s presence.

Emperor Bai had left; that Lady Wen would surely arrive in an instant.

He had to leave!

As thoughts raced through his mind, just as Xu Yuan prepared to use the Layered Pattern Secret Art to activate Step Void Slash, he suddenly discovered that the remnants of Origin Qi within his body had unknowingly morphed into burning flames.

This old ghost’s flames could incinerate his internal Origin Qi?!

His heart sank significantly.

No time for further thought,

Three flowing, skirted silhouettes had already descended from above.

It’s over.

Xu Yuan instinctively clenched his fists.

The hunchbacked elder saw Lady Wen arrive and respectfully clasped his hands in salute:

"Lady Wen, mission accomplished."

Then, he turned his gaze to Xu Yuan, whose Origin Qi had been extinguished, and spoke indifferently:

"Kid, I may not be able to contend with the Sword Saint, but I can handle you effortlessly. Dying by Lady Wen’s hand..."

Before his sentence could be completed,

Qin Ke’s head suddenly disappeared.

In Xu Yuan’s vision, a strand of white hair appeared.

A battle-dressed woman materialized in the air above.
