Chapter 461: Self-Bombardment! Overlord Emperor Awakens (Part 1)
The complete Phoenix Wing Firmament was not only extremely powerful, but also carried a far greater impact force than before. Although Yue Ji and Mei Ji both possessed incredibly strong reaction speed and profound force defenses, they were still instantly blasted away by this powerful profound technique from a true Phoenix God. When they landed, they completely lost their balance, and their bodies were stained with the scorching hot Phoenix flames.
Yun Che's figure flashed, and holding Feng Xue'er, he instantly appeared beside Yue Ji, swinging his sword down with a crash.
Boom!!
The profound force defense Yue Ji had hastily raised was shattered with difficulty. She borrowed the force to roll away far into the distance, while a bone-chilling killing aura also struck from behind Yun Che, aiming straight for his vital point. Yun Che quickly turned and swung his sword back... A series of air explosion sounds rang out. The three separated far apart, and the airflow in the surrounding space became chaotic and disorderly, filled with scorching and restless energy.
Yun Che let out a soft breath. If he had been wielding the sword with both hands just now, he would have been absolutely certain to wound Yue Ji with a single strike under that surprise attack. But controlling a heavy sword with one hand not only greatly reduced its power, but also significantly slowed down his attack and counterattack speed, while also consuming a considerable amount of stamina and time.
Under the impact of the Phoenix Wing Firmament and the scorching of the Phoenix flames just now, the already revealing short tops and short skirts worn by Yue Ji and Mei Ji had become tattered and insufficient to cover their bodies. Their eyes began to carry more caution and vigilance in addition to killing intent. They had thought that with their combined attack, they could easily suppress Yun Che. But unexpectedly, as soon as they engaged, Yun Che's astonishing blast and instantaneous strike nearly made them suffer a great loss.
The two exchanged glances, then simultaneously made the same move.
Rip!!
Yue Ji and Mei Ji both reached out and tore off their tattered tops and bottoms. Their two voluptuous, enchanting, snow-white bodies were now completely exposed before Yun Che. The iciness and killing intent in their eyes and expressions rapidly faded, replaced by an alluring posture that could instantly make any normal man's heart and mind intoxicated.
Their actions left Yun Che momentarily stunned. Feng Xue'er, who had been watching Yue Ji and Mei Ji with a vigilant and worried gaze, let out an "Ah" in surprise and subconsciously murmured, "Brother Yun... don't look... don't look..."
"They're not as pretty as Xue'er, so I can't be bothered to look!" Yun Che immediately responded, though his two eyes were firmly fixed on their bodies, especially the two pairs of huge snow-white peaks that constantly rose and fell... Damn! Might as well look since it's free! But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized... his words might have been a bit ambiguous.
"Brother Yun has never seen what I look like without clothes, so how would he know... Wuwu... Brother Yun... you're actually so bad!" Feng Xue'er's cheeks instantly flushed red.
"I... I didn't mean that..."
"Wuwu..."
The naked Yue Ji and Mei Ji slowly approached Yun Che. On their originally cold faces, there was now an extremely seductive smile, as if hinting that Yun Che could freely enjoy their bodies. At this moment, Yun Che's gaze wavered slightly, his mind experienced a slight dizziness, and even the speed of blood flow in his body noticeably accelerated.
Yun Che's spirit focused, and he became alert instantly...
A charm technique!?
And they were even willing to strip off their clothes to complement the charm technique. These two women were really going all out.
But unfortunately... they had chosen the wrong target!
Yun Che remained still, his gaze becoming increasingly turbid, with a growing heaviness of infatuation in the turbidity. He allowed Yue Ji and Mei Ji to approach step by step. When they were within ten steps, Yun Che suddenly spoke in a low voice: "Xue'er, close your eyes..."
A strange, pale blue light suddenly bloomed in Yun Che's eyes. Behind him, a pale blue dragon image flashed, accompanied by a majestic and domineering dragon roar that descended from the sky, shaking the entire universe. Yun Che's head... If there had been any room for turning back before this, then by killing the two women of Ye Xinghan—who seemed to be quite favored by him—he and Ye Xinghan had become mortal enemies with no room for reconciliation. And Ye Xinghan's current identity was the Young Palace Master of the Sun Moon Divine Palace, also recognized as the future master of the Sacred Ground. He had essentially become a mortal enemy of the entire Sun Moon Divine Palace.
Having just gained an advantage in public opinion in the conflict with the Phoenix God Sect, now he had to fucking deal with the Sun Moon Divine Palace!!
This damn life!!
And regarding the conflict with the Phoenix God Sect, he could resist with extreme toughness and even gain relative initiative. Even if the Phoenix God Sect continued to hunt him down in secret afterward, he was not afraid and had already thought of various ways to respond and counterattack... But provoking a Sun Moon Divine Palace...
That was absolutely no joke!!
Moreover, Ye Xinghan's nature was venomous and cunning, and his whole body exuded an extremely dangerous aura... He was definitely a terrifying character who would stop at nothing!
Feng Xue'er's head was protected by Yun Che against his chest, preventing her from seeing the bloody scene, but from the sounds around her, she could sense that Yue Ji and Mei Ji were already dead. She opened her beautiful eyes, her cheek pressed against his chest, feeling his somewhat frantic heartbeat, and said softly, "Brother Yun... it's me... who's holding you back..."
"I told you, it's none of your business." Yun Che restrained his aura and said, "Since things have come to this, we should try even harder to survive... And don't worry about me. After I leave this place, the worst that can happen is I go to the Huangji Sacred Domain!"
With Xia Yuanba's connection, entering the Huangji Sacred Domain shouldn't be too difficult. The Huangji Sacred Domain, as the foremost of the Four Sacred Grounds, would be something even the Sun Moon Divine Palace wouldn't dare provoke. He would be absolutely safe there.
The prerequisite, however, was that Xia Yuanba survived.
After speaking, Yun Che took a deep breath, but as he summoned his profound force, his mind suddenly became severely dizzy, almost making him collapse to the ground... Although the Dragon Soul Domain lasted only two short breaths, it still caused a massive drain on his spirit. He shook his head forcefully to barely shake off the dizziness, then quickly fled forward.
————————————
Boom!!!
A ball of Phoenix flame exploded on Xia Yuanba's chest. Xia Yuanba's body flew far away and crashed heavily to the ground. He let out a muffled groan, then stood up again, but as soon as he stood, he suddenly fell to one knee and couldn't get up for a long time. Streams of blood flowed from his forehead, arms, and body.
"This kid's physique is truly extraordinary. He's held out this long without dying and can still barely stand up," Feng Feiyan clicked his tongue in amazement.
"But unfortunately, he's only practiced the core profound art of the Huangji Sacred Domain to about thirty percent mastery." Ye Xinghan waved his jade fan, his gaze at Xia Yuanba already equivalent to looking at a dead man. "Being able to withstand that last attack was his limit. It's time to send him on his way. I really didn't expect that even the two of us working together would waste so much time. I can't wait to enjoy my little Xue'er."
"Heh... Die!"
Feng Feiyan sneered, then let out a low roar, his fist burning with Phoenix flame blasting toward Xia Yuanba's head.
Xia Yuanba panted heavily, his gaze unfocused, his entire body soaked with sweat and blood. Nearly a third of his body surface was a bloody mess. Under the combined assault of Feng Feiyan and Ye Xinghan, he had managed to hold his ground head-on for nearly a quarter of an hour. This could already be called an unbelievable miracle.
The aura of death approached. Xia Yuanba looked up, and in his pupils suddenly appeared Feng Feiyan's hand blazing with Phoenix flame. His gaze instantly became extremely fierce. With a loud roar, a surge of powerful force rose from his scarred body, and he threw a punch to meet Feng Feiyan.
Boom!!
The flames exploded, the air burst apart, and Xia Yuanba spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying out like a kite with a broken string... A sinister, poisonous smile flashed across Ye Xinghan's face. He swung his Sun Moon Calamity, and a profound light beam a full half zhang long shot out, aimed directly at Xia Yuanba's neck.
Xia Yuanba was heavily injured and airborne, his consciousness drifting. As the deadly profound light approached, his will drove his body to barely shift in midair.
Sizzle!!
The profound light from the Sun Moon Calamity cut straight through his body... neatly severing his entire left arm from his body.
Boom!
Xia Yuanba crashed heavily to the ground, while his left arm fell more than ten zhang away. Blood spurted like a fountain from the severed area of Xia Yuanba's arm. His face was completely twisted, his whole body convulsing and spasming violently in agony, but from his mouth, he couldn't utter half a scream of pain.
"Tsk tsk tsk, truly tenacious. Tenacious enough to be pitiful." Ye Xinghan watched Xia Yuanba's agonized state with a smile. "But unfortunately, your tenacity is nothing but laughable stupidity in my eyes. Except for making me have more fun and making you suffer more, it's completely useless."
Having lost an arm and being severely wounded to the brink of death, Xia Yuanba collapsed on the ground, completely unable to stand. His pupils were severely unfocused under the heavy injuries, to the point where he couldn't even see the figures of Feng Feiyan and Ye Xinghan. Yet the ferocity and hatred in them hadn't diminished in the slightest. As Ye Xinghan spoke, his right arm slowly lifted, then made a move that Ye Xinghan and Feng Feiyan couldn't understand at all.
Puh!!
His right palm heavily struck the longest wound on his left chest, then fiercely raked across it. Instantly, the wound was viciously torn open... torn to the point where his sternum, the rapidly beating heart beneath it, and the profound veins connected to the heart could be clearly seen.
"Hm?" Feng Feiyan sneered. "Trying to kill himself?"
"I will... never... let... you... hurt... brother-in-law!!"
The immense pain made every word Xia Yuanba uttered extremely difficult and weak, but every word carried an unadulterated ferocity and finality. As the last word fell, his right hand had finally mustered a bit of strength. He raised his fist and drove all that strength viciously into his own profound veins!
Boom!!
This punch was extremely heavy. For Xia Yuanba, who was already half-dead, it was more than enough to be fatal! As the heavy impact sounded at the area of Xia Yuanba's heart, his entire body shook violently, and a large mass of blood spurted from his mouth and from beneath his fist. His eyes completely lost focus.
But at that moment, a golden light suddenly blazed forth from beneath Xia Yuanba's fist. As his fist weakly moved away due to the dissipation of his consciousness, his torn-open chest revealed a profound vein that had completely turned into a dazzling gold!
