Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Xiao Yi, look who I have in my hand?"

A sharp voice suddenly erupted by his ear.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xiao Yi shivered all over.

A strong sense of unease rose in his heart, the bone-chilling cold instantly swept through his body, and large beads of cold sweat soaked through the back of his clothes at this instant.

As he looked up.

He saw a blood-red chariot suspended in the void above, and before the chariot were four majestic demonic beasts with crimson bodies, single horns on their heads, tiger-like shapes, but with wings on their backs. Each of these demonic beasts emitted a presence no weaker than Zhou Yuan's, clearly four Sixth-Layer Path Tribulation Realm beasts.

And on that chariot...

A middle-aged man dressed in a blood-colored robe, wearing a silver mask, and with a burly figure, leaned against the side of the chariot.

In his hand extended from the chariot.

Fang Qingzhu was being held by her neck, suspended in midair.

The four Sixth-Layer Path Tribulation Realm Flying Heavenly Demon Tigers flapped their wings, stirring up howling gales that battered against Fang Qingzhu.

Causing Fang Qingzhu's black hair to dance wildly, her face growing even paler.

The Pipa Locks on her shoulders clanked and clanged.

"Qingzhu?"

Xiao Yi's pupils suddenly constricted as his eyes instantly turned blood red.

Yue Cang, looking haggard, raised his hand to wipe the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, a deep fear and reverence surfacing on his pale face, "Xiao, I'm really sorry, the opponent was too strong."

Xiao Yi nodded.

Anyone who could employ four Tao Tribulation Realm beasts to pull a chariot must indeed be powerful.

Possibly someone from the High-Layer Tao Tribulation Realm, or even the stronger Dharma Manifestation Realm!

Whoosh!

Xiao Yi took a deep breath and stared at the blood-colored figure, "Who might you be, sir?"

"Heh heh!"

The middle-aged man in the blood-colored robe spoke in a voice that was difficult to distinguish as male or female, especially piercing, "Xiao Yi, you dared to destroy my Xue Yilou's branch and kill my Xue Yilou branch master. Do you really not recognize who I am?"

"A person from Xue Yilou?"

"The blood-colored chariot... This, this is Xue Mantian, the Ninth Master of Xue Yilou!"

"The Ninth Master? As far as I know, Xue Yilou has a total of eighteen Masters, and the weakest are at the peak of the Tao Tribulation Realm. And this Ninth Master Xue Mantian, who was at the peak of the Tao Tribulation Realm more than a hundred years ago, could very well be a Dharma Manifestation Realm powerhouse..." Gu Junhe's expression in the crowd turned extremely grave.

With his current strength, if he exerted his full power, he could indeed contend with an ordinary Tao Tribulation Realm combatant.

But facing the Dharma Manifestation Realm...

Let alone being an adversary, he wouldn't even have the courage to engage in battle!

In the Dharma Manifestation Realm, one's lifespan exceeded a thousand years.

Unlike the Calamity Realm where one could borrow some of the world's power, the Dharma Manifestation Realm had already mastered most of that power.

A breath could call forth gales and storms.

A stomp was like a dragon turning over beneath the earth!

Unimaginably terrifying!

"This is troublesome..." Gu Junhe's face showed a look of anxiety.

Zhou Yuan's face, however, revealed hysterical madness as he laughed proudly, "Hahaha, Xiao Yi, the heavens want to destroy you! With Xue Mantian himself descending, no matter how a hundredfold or a thousandfold stronger your talent is, you're no match for him. You're doomed, hahaha, the last laugh will still be mine..."

"Shut up!"

Xiao Yi swung his sword backhand and sliced off Zhou Yuan's jaw clean.

Blood spurted uncontrollably from his mouth.

Zhou Yuan howled miserably.

But Xiao Yi no longer paid any attention to Zhou Yuan, his furious gaze fixed on Xue Mantian, "Xue Mantian, it was I who destroyed your Xue Yilou branch and killed your branch master. It has nothing to do with Qingzhu. Let Qingzhu go, and direct your issues at me!"

"Irrelevant to her?"

Xue Mantian laughed mockingly, speaking slowly and deliberately, "You dared to provoke my Xue Yilou, so your relatives, friends... anyone related to you, must all die. Do you think she can escape?"

His pale, slender finger reached toward Fang Qingzhu's face.

Fang Qingzhu turned her head defiantly to avoid Xue Mantian's finger, looking toward Xiao Yi with tears in her eyes, "Brother Xiao Yi, don't worry about me... Leave, get away..."

"Qingzhu... I won't let anyone hurt you..." Xiao Yi clenched his fists tightly, his teeth grinding with a grating sound, he roared.

Tears fell unstoppably from Fang Qingzhu's face as she staunchly shook her head, "No... Brother Xiao Yi, you've already sacrificed too much for me. Ever since I've been with you, I have been your burden... I don't want to burden you anymore, even if it means death, I won't bear to see you sacrifice for me... Brother Xiao Yi, being with you these days, becoming your wife... I have no regrets in dying!"

"Qingzhu, Fang Qingzhu... what are you doing?" Xiao Yi suddenly felt an intense unease, his eyes turning fierce as he roared.

Fang Qingzhu gave him a bright smile.

Her white teeth contrasted sharply against her pale face.

Her eyes, brimming with tears, carried a resolute hue.

Fang Qingzhu suddenly turned her head back, opening her mouth to bite at the palm of Xue Mantian fiercely.

"Seeking death!"

A cold light flashed through Xue Mantian's eyes. He was of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, how could he possibly be bitten by Fang Qingzhu?

With a slight tremor of his hand, a muffled 'thump' echoed, and Fang Qingzhu trembled all over. Both of her shoulder bones were shattered by the impact. The chains binding her arms broke as well, one could only imagine how terrifying Xue Mantian's palm strike was!

Splat!

Blood spurted wildly from Fang Qingzhu's mouth, her complexion turning even paler, her breath as thin as a thread.

"Lowly ants, dare to try and harm my body? Die!"

Xue Mantian fiercely swung his hand.

Whoosh!

Fang Qingzhu was flung high into the air, tossed toward the four flying Heavenly Demons.

Roar!

The four flying Heavenly Demons' eyes radiated a brutal light, showing their teeth and lunging for Fang Qingzhu to bite and tear.

These were beasts comparable to a warrior of the Tao Tribulation Realm!

Let alone Fang Qingzhu, who was only of Spiritual Realm Cultivation, even a common warrior of the Tao Tribulation Realm, once caught in their bite, would either be severely injured or become a feast in their mouths!

"No..."

In the nick of time,

Xiao Yi erupted with unprecedented speed, rushing in front of Fang Qingzhu with a bang, grasping her and throwing her towards the crowd, "Dean..."

Whoosh!

Gu Junhe burst out from the crowd with a flash.

Catching Fang Qingzhu in his arms.

Simultaneously...

The four flying Heavenly Demons, having lost their target, turned their razor-sharp fangs towards Xiao Yi.

"Get lost!"

Xiao Yi was surging with energy, but against the four Heavenly Demons as strong as the warriors of the Tao Tribulation Realm, these energy barriers were ineffective.

Amidst a succession of crackling sounds, the energy shields burst one after another, and sharp fangs pierced through his back.

Blood sprayed wildly.

Xiao Yi fell like a shooting star, crashing to the ground with a loud bang.

The entire Royal Martial Arts Academy trembled violently.

Within the enormous crater, dust roiled, and cracks spread across the ground like a spiderweb.

"Xiao Yi brother..."

Fang Qingzhu's eyes were wide with rage, struggling wildly.

Gu Junhe held on tight to her hands, "Don't go over there... going now is suicide..."

"No... Even if it's death, I want to be with Xiao Yi brother..."

Fang Qingzhu exhausted all her strength struggling, the chains on her shoulders clanging noisily, her flesh torn and blurred, blood gushing like a fountain. Her pale face was filled with worry and despair; after all, those were four beasts as strong as warriors of the Tao Tribulation Realm!

Xiao Yi had resisted the attacks of the four mighty beasts; despite his incredibly strong body,

he was now gravely injured and might even be in danger of losing his life.

Her hands, under Gu Junhe's restraint, were torn open, blood dripping down.

At this moment, the only thought in Fang Qingzhu's mind was to rush to Xiao Yi's side, "Let go, let go..."

Despair and hope intermingled, overflowing her mind.

Despair over Xiao Yi's injuries.

Hope that Xiao Yi could stand back up.

Rustle, rustle...

The disordered sound of falling gravel was heard as Xiao Yi shakily climbed out of the pit, his body swaying as he knelt on the ground, bracing himself with his hands, spewing blood violently. After a moment, he slowly recovered, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, staggeringly stood up, and raised his head to look at Fang Qingzhu. His mouth full of white teeth stained with blood, he managed to squeeze out a bright smile, "Qingzhu... I'm alright..."

Fang Qingzhu, eyes wide with anguish, watched the unsteady Xiao Yi and cried out in heart-wrenching pain, "Xiao Yi brother..."

High above,

Xue Mantian raised an eyebrow and sneered, shaking his head, "Lowly ants love to play out these melodramas of parting and death. Xiao Yi, if you kneel and become my blood slave, I can spare you and that girl from death!"

"Ha... hahaha... hahahaha..."

Xiao Yi laughed uproariously, his blood boiling as a reddish fog surrounded him. Blood-red light pulsed from his eyes, "Kneel my ass!"
