Chapter 1662
The broken sword stood on a high cliff, with the sea breeze filling the air.
All the elders watching were on edge, their eyes fixed on the screen. Two dots, approaching a distance of 15,000 kilometers, were gathering together.
Gu Yue, Han Wulong, and everyone else with wide eyes believed that a momentous battle was taking place beneath the Broken Sword Sea.
Fear, anxiety, and speculation filled the hearts of everyone. Han Wulong and Gu Yue exchanged a glance, their hearts tightening. If the dots continued to sink, it would be a victory.
The Princely Elders were also nervous. The duel between Su Yi and Jun Haotian was clearly a battle between the new powers of Yutian Palace. Although Su Yi was not yet part of Yutian Palace, under the guidance of Palace Master Duanmu, he would surely be won over.
Regardless of who emerged victorious, sinking to a depth of 15,000 kilometers would mean victory for Yutian Palace!
"Phew!"
The ordinary elders behind them had uneasy expressions. It seemed that this chaotic fight of the Yutian Soul Race had little to do with them.
"Fifteen thousand kilometers."
"Who do you think will win? Jun Haotian or Su Yi?"
"Whoever comes out first, that’s who!"
Among the ordinary elders, there was a man with a face full of lines, high cheekbones, and a few strands of silver hair that showed a touch of weariness. He remained silent.
"Elder Zi, don’t worry. Although Zi Feng is ambitious, he won’t do anything foolish!"
"Hmph! This time, the people from Gongque Lake are just here as supporting characters again! When will Gongque Lake produce a genius?"
Elder Zi’s corner of the eye twitched slightly. He raised his hands behind his back and turned to the other side to relax.
A few elders behind him whispered, "Don’t say anymore! Elder Zi originally wanted to follow Zuo Qiufeng’s path, but he never expected to end up like this!"
"Elder Zi? Is it true? His disciple Zi Feng is the number one person in Gongque Lake. Even a match between him and the top five disciples would be worth watching!"
"Swoosh!"
Just as the words fell, the sky in the distance suddenly became windy and the thick dark clouds rushed in. Then, a figure tore through the space and high waves surged up, like a blazing white dragon. A figure stood in the air, with a blurry face and messy black hair.
"Someone has come out!"
"Whoosh!"
Eyes as sharp as a sword focused on the newcomer, and everyone exclaimed, "Jun Haotian! It’s Jun Haotian!"
Han Wulong and Gu Yue, who were beside him, were equally surprised. They furrowed their brows and softly said, "Strange, why didn’t the light screen show the movement of the dots?"
Like a water dragon, a burst of water instantly scattered the dark clouds. Everyone rushed forward and saw clearly that Jun Haotian was holding someone in his hands. This person looked like a bloody figure, with no intact area on his body. The torn flesh emitted a faint smell of blood, as if it had been pulled out from the mud, without any vitality or spirit left.
"Who is that person!"
Han Wulong growled softly, and it didn’t seem like Su Yi. The dots on the light screen hadn’t disappeared.
"What happened? How did Jun Haotian come out of the space crack?" Gu Yue whispered.
At this moment, an old man in a purple robe rushed out of the crowd and swiftly caught the blood-like Zi Feng from Jun Haotian’s hand, as if he was a flowing light.
"Zi Feng, it’s really you! Why did you choose this path?"
Jun Haotian coughed heavily, his eyes lifeless. Clearly, he was seriously injured and his heart and soul were in turmoil. He coldly said to Elder Zi in front of him, "Those who do wrong will meet their own downfall! Zi Feng’s obsession is too deep!"
Suddenly, Jun Haotian gave a grim smile towards the sky, and a mist of blood sprayed into the air.
What’s the difference between me and Zi Feng? Both of us represent the Yutian River and the Gongque Lake, respectively. In fact, we are disciples of the Yutian Palace. Why do we need to differentiate between closeness and status?
"It’s all cause and effect!"
After saying these words, Jun Haotian’s heart and soul trembled. His vision blurred and he fell backwards. Behind him, the furious voice of the Princely Elder resounded, shouting, "Haotian! Haotian!"
Luo Wuya, Long Poshan, and other mid-level experts of the fifth rank suddenly rose up in the air like two sword lights, instantly catching Jun Haotian who had fallen.
Back on the cliff, Elder Zi gently placed Zi Feng down, his eyes filled with sadness and disappointment, his lips trembling, despairingly looking at the disciple lying on the ground.
Once his pride, now faded among the crowd, the regression of his cultivation meant he would no longer have the capital to surpass others.
"What happened to Zi Feng?"
"Why did Jun Haotian come out of the spatial rift? What does it have to do with Zi Feng?"
Gu Yue and Han Wulong also approached at this moment, their gazes intense. Gu Yue slowly infused his energy into Jun Haotian’s body.
"Bang!"
The sudden rise in temperature caused boundless soul fluctuations, instantly forming a rebounding light wave in the air, rushing towards Gu Yue’s palm.
Blood surged, and a scarlet aura leaked out from Jun Haotian’s skin, countless strands of blood aura shooting into the sky in an instant.
Gu Yue’s eyes flickered briefly. His figure jumped back and quickly formed hand seals, activating the Heavens Taming Incantation to refine the blood aura in his palm. With a slightly surprised look, he turned to Han Wulong and whispered, "What is this? Blood aura?"
Han Wulong immediately shot out a bright light, looking serious. He crouched down and slowly transferred a beam of golden light into Jun Haotian’s body.
With a loud "bang", a muddy and surging blood energy rushed up, and an extremely hot energy instantly surged into Han Wulong’s soul.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a roaring sound like a dragon’s roar came out of nowhere. Tremendous energy from all around Han Wulong surged into Jun Haotian’s body as his hands made cracking sounds.
"Boom!"
In an instant, another attack of bloody soul forcefully shot out, and Han Wulong’s golden dragon breath became anxious. His fierce and terrifying aura, accompanied by a horrifying soul attack, was fully released in an instant.
"Huh!"
Han Wulong’s figure violently retreated, causing ripples in the air. He angrily shouted, and the beam of golden light shot out, making continuous "sizzling" sounds. The golden light shone like a blazing sun, instantly dispersing the blood energy.
"This blood energy is not to be underestimated!" Han Wulong’s eyes shot out a cold light as he said in a deep voice. Luo Wuya, Long Poshan, and Gu Yue all frowned, saying, "It seems that something earth-shattering really happened 15,000 kilometers away!"
"Su Yi is still down there! No!" Han Wulong exclaimed.
Looking at the projection screen, the dot representing Su Yi, fifteen thousand kilometers away, was still moving. Everyone was in shock and shouted out loud.
"Su Yi is still sinking! He’s still alive!"
Without hesitation, Gu Yue immediately gave the order and said loudly, "Wuya, Poshan, quickly take Zifeng and Haotian back to Yutian River for treatment!"
"Sect Leader Han, Palace Master Duanmu is still down there. The situation below is beyond our control now. With Palace Master Duanmu present, we need to discuss our next steps!"
