Yun Lintian's heart tightened upon hearing this voice. He turned to look into the distance and vaguely saw Mo Ke's silhouette slowly walk over.
"Surprise?" Mo Ke curled his lips. "You will be even more surprised in a while."
As his voice fell, strange blades of wind mixed up with black energy instantly slashed toward Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu.
Yun Lintian instinctively swung the Heaven Piercing Sword forward, releasing sword beams to welcome the incoming wind blades.
BOOM!
Two powers collided midair, producing a massive explosion. The impact immediately sent Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu flying into the distance.
"Big Brother Yun!" Linlin jumped over and quickly grabbed the two.
Meanwhile, Qingqing was furious and sent an apocalyptic windstorm toward Mo Ke.
At this moment, Lan Cao's figure, which seemed to perfectly blend with the dark world, suddenly emerged. He stretched his hand out, and the dark space before him immediately distorted into whirlpools.
With a bang, the windstorm completely dissolved upon touching the dark whirlpools.
The expressions of Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu sank upon seeing this scene. They knew how powerful Qingqing was, yet Lan Cao could repel her attack so easily. Obviously, his strength was even stronger than the Hell Hound… But how?
At this moment, Xing Chen slowly emerged from the darkness. His eyes were dark and gloomy as he stared at Yun Lintian. "This is the first time we met face to face, Yun Lintian."
Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed slightly. "Xing Chen?"
In the Land of Beyond Heaven, Hongyue stared at Mo Ke coldly. She had anticipated this from the beginning, but she didn't know what method he was going to use.
However, she immediately understood everything when she saw Xing Chen and Lan Cao. These two must encounter Mo Ke first, and the latter had secretly placed a tiny portion of his residual soul in them.
What attracted her attention the most was the usual bloodline in their bodies.
"Devil Emperor's bloodline!" She uttered solemnly.
Yun Lintian's heart shook when he heard this. Although he didn't know the true power of the so-called Devil Emperor's bloodline, it was, after all, something related to a Devil Emperor. A mortal shouldn't be able to obtain it… How could Xing Chen and Lan Cao merge with it?
"This look… It seems Hongyue tells you about their bloodline already." Mo Ke chuckled when he saw the change in Yun Lintian's expression. "As expected, she has spent all of her power in the previous attack."
Xing Chen glanced at Mo Ke slightly when he heard this. Obviously, this Mo Ke wasn't sure about Hongyue as he said before.
He shifted his gaze back to Yun Lintian and said. "We both are smart people. It's better not to waste our salivas. Submit to me, and I will let all of you live. You are not my opponent with your current condition."
Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly, and he responded. "Since you said you're a smart person. Do you really believe in what you said?"
Xing Chen spoke calmly. "Naturally, no. I'm merely being generous."
He raised his hand slightly and said further. "Why? Is being alive not good enough?"
As his voice fell, a beam of dark light exploded out of his palm and transformed into an overwhelming black tide, trying to swallow Yun Lintian and the others completely.
Boom!
Linlin and Qingqing suddenly jumped forward and released their power. The combination of lightning bolts and windstorms immediately blasted the incoming dark tide away.
However, before they could do anything further, four beams of dark light simultaneously exploded all around Yun Lintian and the others.
PFFBOOOM!!
The four of Yun Lintian's group were blasted into the distance, and trails of blood could be seen in the air. Compared to the Hell Hound's attack, these attacks from Xing Chen and Lan Cao were a few degrees more powerful and also several times faster.
"I have to admit that you're strong. My past self wasn't your opponent at all. But it's different now." Xing Chen said calmly while walking toward Yun Lintian step by step.
"In fact, you're nothing but a lucky man that obtained the inheritance from a top powerhouse. Fortunately, I have also got one… See? I am better than you now."
All of a sudden, his figure charged forward as his dark energy erupted outward, creating an astonishing wave of energy to sweep across the dark world.
As a beam of black light flashed by, Xing Chen had already arrived before Yun Lintian and sent a kick directly at the latter's abdomen.
The distance between the two was pulled closer in a single instant, but Yun Lintian's reaction wasn't slow. The moment Xing Chen charged forward, he had already got up from the ground and swung the sword forward, creating a vermilion flame dragon to greet Xing Chen's kick.
BOOOM!
A shocking explosion erupted outward, forcing the two to retreat a few steps.
Xing Chen was surprised slightly to see Yun Lintian release his power to this extent. In his opinion, he had already spent more than eighty percent of his power dealing with the Hell Hound. It was almost impossible for Yun Lintian to withstand his kick.
"It seems I have miscalculated again." Xing Chen said calmly. The dark aura around him twirled violently as he was ready to go for another round.
Yun Lintian wiped the bloodstain out of the corner of his mouth and said with a mocking smile. "I can see why you love hiding in the dark. It turns out you are nothing much when you face your opponent head-on."
"Heh. Do you think you can fight me after getting the Devil Emperor bloodline?"
"Qingqing!" As Yun Lintian's voice fell, his figure vanished from the place and arrived before Xing Chen.
At the same time, Qingqing quickly released her power, conjuring terrifying wind walls around Xing Chen, preventing him from escaping.
"Piercing Heaven!"
The Heaven Piercing Sword in Yun Lintian shone brightly with a golden light as he slashed vertically toward Xing Chen. The space between them was instantly torn apart as the sword arrived at the latter's head!
