Two figures, fully shrouded in black robes, stepped through the void and slowly landed not far from Xuner. The leader of the two slightly lifted his head, revealing a young, pale face—it was none other than the Spirit Clan’s Hun Ya!
“Hun Ya, you are truly bold…”
Xuner stared at Hun Ya with icy eyes, her voice cold and steady.
“Heh, what’s there to be bold about? Your identity has no deterrent effect on me. In fact, I’m quite curious. If anything were to happen to you, someone with divine lineage, how would the Ancient Clan react?” Hun Ya laughed, his voice filled with a chilling menace.
“Do you think you can?”
In Xuner’s eyes, golden flames flickered slowly, her voice indifferent.
“I know dealing with you is difficult, so my target this time is not you, but him.” Hun Ya smirked, suddenly pointing at Xiao Yan, who was meditating for a breakthrough. “Actually, I sensed your presence a month ago, but there wasn’t an opportunity. But now, the chance has come…”
“Come and try!”
“As you wish.” Hun Ya smiled, his pale face showing a sinister curve. “Hun Li, let’s move together and kill her!”
“Uh-huh.”
The black-robed figure beside Hun Ya nodded slowly, pulling back the hood to reveal a scarred face. Beneath the numerous scars, cold, emotionless eyes fixed on Xuner, unperturbed by her extraordinary beauty.
“You should have heard of Hun Li, right? Hehe, over the years, many Ancient Clan strongmen have fallen to his hands. Of course, those scars he bears are gifts from those same people,” Hun Ya said, smiling at Xuner. “I know you are very strong, but I want to see if you can handle two eight-star Dou Zuns working together.”
Xuner’s face remained calm, unflinched by Hun Ya’s words. She rose from the boulder, her eyes instantly surrounded by golden flames.
*Boom!*
As the golden flames enveloped Xuner’s eyes, the man named Hun Li stomped the ground, his figure appearing before Xuner like a bolt of lightning, his fist, cold and menacing, slamming towards her slender neck.
Facing Hun Li’s attack, Xuner’s eyes turned cold. Her hand shot out like lightning, colliding heavily with his fist just as it struck.
*Boom!*
When their palm and fist met, a terrifying force caused the boulder beneath them to explode, and Hun Li staggered back, but he showed no anger. Instead, a sickly smile spread across his face as he lunged forward again, his fierce strikes causing the very space to ripple and distort.
Despite the ferocity of Hun Li’s attacks, Xuner moved with graceful steps, dodging every blow. Each time her seemingly delicate hand struck Hun Li, it caused him to stagger significantly.
Though Hun Li’s attacks seemed violent, the rhythm was clearly being controlled by Xuner. It was as if an enraged bull was blindly charging at a butterfly, fierce but ineffective.
After repelling Hun Li once more, Xuner turned, her hand clenching into a fist. Golden flames burst from her sleeve, forming a fire whip that shot out.
As the golden fire whip lashed out, the space rippled, and a jet-black chain, radiating a chilling aura, shot from the void, colliding with the fire whip, emitting a grating sound.
“Hehe, worthy of someone with divine lineage, your senses are keen indeed…” At the end of the black chain, Hun Ya’s figure emerged, laughing coldly. Opening his mouth, a gigantic, jet-black dragon surged out, its piercing roar breaking through space, aimed directly at Xuner. On closer inspection, one would see the dragon was made of countless souls, their agonizing cries blending into one horrifying roar.
“A dishonorable move!” Seeing the black dragon rush towards her, Xuner’s eyes grew cold. Just as she was about to counter, a fierce gale of energy struck from behind—she knew without looking that Hun Li was attacking again.
Facing two eight-star Dou Zuns, even Xuner had to focus. She leaped into the air, her hands forming seals, and intense golden flames burst from her body, forming a hundred-meter-long fiery hand that reached out to grab the black dragon.
*Boom!*
The golden hand grabbed the black dragon, its searing heat turning the souls inside into nothingness.
*Whoosh!*
Just as the black dragon was shattered, the fierce gale from behind struck, and Xuner’s hand formed seals, counter-attacking without turning her head.
*Boom!*
The collision created a storm, dispersing the thick energy mist within a hundred meters, clearing the hazy vision.
*Hng!*
The gale swept, and Hun Li grunted, retreating quickly, his scarred face showing a hint of pallor.
Although Hun Li was repelled, Xuner’s steps were also forced back half a step, her hand feeling numb. This Hun Li was clearly no simple opponent.
“Hun Ya, I see you two do not want to leave the Ancient Realm alive!” Xuner’s icy gaze turned to Hun Ya, her hand clenching tightly.
“Hehe, no need to worry about that, Miss Xuner…” Hun Ya laughed coldly, his gaze shifting downwards where Xiao Yan sat, his Dou Qi fluctuating more intensely.
“Impossible to defeat Xuner in a short time, looks like we have to kill Xiao Yan first.” After several clashes, Hun Ya had a better understanding of Xuner’s strength. Even combined with Hun Li, they could only fight on equal footing but not truly injure or kill her. But Xiao Yan was in a crucial stage of his breakthrough, and if he succeeded, they would face significant trouble. Though Xiao Yan was only a six-star Dou Zun, Hun Ya had seen his battle with Guni and knew his combat power far exceeded his level.
“Hun Li, go kill Xiao Yan, I’ll hold her off.” Hearing this, Xuner’s face finally changed, her figure flashing as she rushed towards Xiao Yan. But before she could reach, a loud slicing sound erupted behind her. Turning slightly, she saw countless sharp black chains, like a downpour, raining down on her. Each chain had the power to pierce a Dou Zun’s defenses, and so many together posed a serious threat even to her.
“Hun Ya, if you dare hurt him, this Celestial Tomb will be your grave…” Facing the sudden onslaught, Xuner had no choice but to turn back, her golden flames swirling, shattering the chains with a metallic clang.
“This woman, such incredible strength. One-on-one, I couldn’t win,” Hun Ya mused, his face changing slightly as he saw the chains shatter. However, he sneered, noticing Hun Li was already rushing towards Xiao Yan.
Seeing Hun Li’s actions, Xuner’s eyes flashed with murderous intent. Shaking her sleeve, a golden spear, filled with terrifying energy, shot out, aimed straight at Hun Li.
Yet, facing Xuner’s attack, Hun Li remained expressionless, his cold, misty fist striking towards Xiao Yan’s head, ready to take a heavy blow to kill him.
Seeing this, even Xuner’s face paled, her eyes filled with a cold, bone-chilling madness.
But just as Xuner’s eyes glowed with madness, Xiao Yan, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, a cold smile on his lips. His right palm shot out, striking the approaching Hun Li in a reflex.
“Great Heavenly Creation Palm…”
As his palm struck, a chilling, pitch-black halo spread from his palm. In that moment, the previously composed Hun Li’s eyes showed a trace of fear.
