1199 - Blood Battle_1

"Eldest... Eldest Young Lady... Thank... Thank you for... protecting... this mainland... The person... I admire the most... is you, Eldest Young Lady... Eldest Young Lady... I'll tell you a... secret... A lot of us... Ye Family disciples... like you... and said... we want to... marry... you... in the future..." Ye Leng said weakly. It seemed as though he wanted to smile, but he did not even have the energy to squeeze out a smile.

"Eldest... Eldest Young Lady... I lied to you... I... am very scared... I don't wish to die..." Ye Leng was suddenly extremely worked up, and he spat out large mouthfuls of blood as he spoke. "Save... save me... Otherwise, my grandfather Bai Kui... will... be... sad..."

His determined eyes were filled with mist. Ye Qingtang hugged Ye Leng's upper body tightly until he could no longer speak, and his teary eyes closed forever.

Swoosh!

Ye Qingtang stood up and turned into a blur, slashing at the Ancient You Clan masses not far away.

"Little Leng..."

In no time, Elder Bai Kui slashed his way to the spot and was dumbstruck when he saw Ye Leng's half body.

"I want you all... to be crushed to pieces!!" Elder Bai Kui roared to the sky and charged towards the Ancient You Clan camp ahead along with Ye Qingtang.

Puff!"

Elder Bai Kui immediately slashed an unprepared You Yang Lord at his waist with one strike.

"Arh?!"

Seeing that a Yang Lord was killed, the remaining Yang Lords were shocked, and anger riled up within them subsequently as they surrounded Elder Bai Kui.

"I want you all... to be buried with my descendant!!"

Elder Bai Kui did not have the slightest intention to back away in the face of several Ancient You Clan Yang Lords.

"Elder Bai Kui... retreat quickly!"

Ye Qingtang, who was fighting with other Yang Lords currently and could not get away, shouted at Elder Bai Kui loudly.

Puff...

However, with numerous Yang Lords opposing him, Elder Bai Kui was defeated in an instant.

Whiz!

With a bow in hand, a Yang Lord released ten arrows at top speed, which simultaneously shot towards Elder Bai Kui, who was already badly battered.

Puff!"

Sounds of a sharp weapon piercing into flesh rang successively.

Blood seeped out of the corner of Elder Bai Kui's lips, but he still stood tall and straight. The ten arrows had penetrated through his body.

"It's a pity that I cannot... continue to fight this war with you... Eldest Young Lady... Thank you for your care... in this period of time..." Resolution filled Elder Bai Kui's eyes as a force of destruction emerged from his body.

"He wants to self-destruct?!"

The Yang Lords were shocked after sensing the force of destruction on Elder Bai Kui's body.

"Quickly run!"

One of the Yang Lords shouted.

The self-destruction of a Yang Lord could pose as an extremely huge threat to an Arcane Supremacy, much less to a Yang Lord.

"Sealed Sky... Technique!"

Seeing that the Yang Lords wanted to escape, Elder Bai Kui formed a print with his palms, and in an instant, a golden screen sealed himself and those Yang Lords in it.

"You have a death wish!"

One of the Yang Lords was enraged and charged towards Elder Bai Kui with a sword in his hand.

Puff!

Elder Bai Kui's skull was detached from his body instantly but just as he was beheaded, the force of destruction reached its peak.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

A shattering explosion sounded from within the golden screen.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

1200 - Blood Battle_2

Several peak Yang Lords from the Ancient You Clan were turned into ash along with Elder Bai Kui.

Ye Qingtang was left in a trance at this moment.

The scene where Elder Bai Kui first came to Ye Family appeared in her mind...

Making use of Ye Qingtang's daze, a few Yang Lords exchanged a look and immediately charged towards Ye Qingtang.

Nonetheless, in just a moment, Ye Qingtang turned into a black flame and devoured those Yang Lords instead.

...

In the dark night, there was the glow of fire in the valley.

The Ye Family masses screamed, roared, gritted their teeth, and were enraged.

In this hell-like battlefield, their life or death no longer seemed to matter.

Many of those Ye Family siblings, whom they spent much time with and went through thick and thin together, had lost their lives in their last resistance.

Every drop of blood drove the Ye Family masses even more insane. Anger and hatred blinded their rationality; the weapons in their hands never rested as they drank more blood greedily.

In Heaven City.

The Blood Moon Elder's eyes were devoid of emotions when he saw the uninvited guest before him.

The person was a middle-aged man. His long, jet-black hair swayed in the wind, and he had an antique long saber hung on his waist.

The middle-aged man looked at Blood Moon Elder with a seeming smile. "Elder Yin Fo, good job. Hand the kid with the reincarnation of the Spiritual Abode to me."

"Hand her to you?"

The Blood Moon Elder snickered suddenly. "Are you dreaming?"

The devilish smile on that man's face did not fade even upon hearing that. "Oh... In that case, have you really sided with this mainland already?"

Without waiting for Blood Moon Elder to speak, the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Elder Yin Fo, as an alien race raised by Ancient You Clan, your mission is to stay loyal to Ancient You Clan until you die. However, you sided with the enemy and are fighting on the same front as the ants of this lowly mainland. How disappointing... The Ancient You Clan is so disappointed..."

"Hahaha, I think that you're tired of living. I was still worried about not being able to enter the battlefield... but you came knocking on my door on your own accord..." Afterward, a glint flashed across the Blood Moon Elder's eyes. He raised his right shoulder, and his mountain-like fist swung towards the middle-aged man violently.

The power of this punch raked up wild gusts of wind instantly, and even a mountain would completely crumble under this force.

The middle-aged man held the long saber on his waist gently. Subsequently, there was a sound of a sword being unsheathed, and a gleam flashed by.

In the next second, under the Blood Moon Elder's stunned gaze, blood was spouting out of his fist like a fountain.

The Blood Moon Elder retreated backward as his right shoulder trembled violently.

"Haha."

The middle-aged man looked at Blood Moon Elder and chuckled. "Elder Yin Fo, the one hundred elders in the Ancient You Clan are ranked according to their skills. You are only ranked sixty while I am ranked twenty. From where did you... find the courage to fight me?"

Before the Blood Moon Elder spoke, the middle-aged man continued speaking. "Come, hand those two kids to me. I can consider sparing your life. After all, our comradeship has not disappeared completely yet."

"Hahaha, how delusional of you!" The Blood Moon Elder chortled loudly. Suddenly, he grabbed Little You Yun and Little Luo Xue and fled the city.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

1201 - Blood Battle_3

In just the blink of an eye, the Blood Moon Elder had already fled out of the city and was nowhere to be seen.

That middle-aged man was too powerful, and the Blood Moon Elder could not rival him given his skills. Moreover, the Blood Moon Elder could not escape in the direction of the battlefield or he would lead the middle-aged man towards the battlefield...

Swoosh!

Outside a forest, the middle-aged man appeared once again before the Blood Moon Elder.

"Elder Yin Fo, you cannot escape. I'll give you one last chance. Hand the kids to me or bear the consequences," chuckled the middle-aged man.

The Blood Moon Elder gently placed Little Luo Xue and Little You Yun on the ground immediately and looked at them seriously. "Listen to grandfather... Leave this place immediately, understood?"

"Grandfather..."

Little Luo Xue looked at Blood Moon Elder with worry.

"Hahaha, don't worry, Little Luo Xue. Look how huge my body is. I am unrivaled. No one can defeat me... Didn't you all say that you all want to be as powerful as me in the future..." The Blood Moon Elder said with a smile.

"Mhm!"

Little Luo Xue and Little You Yun nodded repeatedly.

"That's right. You two will run away first. When I start attacking, there will be too much of a stir, and I'm afraid you two will be hurt by accident... I will find you all later, alright?" The Blood Moon Elder said.

"Grandfather... don't... lie..." Little Luo Xue was still rather worried.

"When have I ever lied to you all... Are you all not going to listen to me and are going to anger me?" The Blood Moon Elder said in a furious tone.

Ultimately, Little Luo Xue held Little You Yun's hands and ran ahead quickly after being driven away by the Blood Moon Elder.

"The two little kids... must be safe..." The Blood Moon Elder muttered softly as he watched Little Luo Xue and Little You Yun leave.

"Humph!"

The middle-aged man scoffed coldly and immediately flew to the sky, wanting to chase after Little You Yun and Little Luo Xue.

His objective this time was to obtain the reincarnation of the Spiritual Abode, and anything else was not important.

"Where do you think you are going?!"

The Blood Moon Elder hollered furiously, and he struck the man with his left palm.

However, the middle-aged man was extremely fast. He retreated backward immediately and avoided the Blood Moon Elder's attack.

The middle-aged man had a clear idea of the Blood Moon Elder's specialty: anyone apart from the Commander who was caught by him would die without a doubt.

Of course, the middle-aged man did not think that Blood Moon Elder could catch him either.

"Move away."

The middle-aged man looked at the Blood Moon Elder and said coldly.

"Hahaha, you are dreaming!" The Blood Moon Elder snickered.

The only mission that Holy Lady gave him was to protect the two kids. No matter what, he would not let the Ancient You Clan lay their hands on Little You Yun!

"It seems that you're just courting death." The middle-aged man slowly unsheathed the long saber on his waist.

"Let's see who will die! You or me!" The Blood Moon Elder shouted angrily and threw a punch at the middle-aged man.

"Since you are seeking death, as someone from the same clan, I can only fulfill your wishes." The middle-aged man had an indifferent expression as he said, "Saber intent."

Martial willpower filled the air instantly. Two bolts of light shot out from the middle-aged man's eyes, and he slashed away with the long saber in his hands.

Puff!"

The fist that the Blood Moon Elder threw out was chopped immediately.

A small mountain-like fist flung afar.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

1202 - Blood Battle_4

The Blood Moon Elder was breaking out in a cold sweat profusely, but the excruciating pain kept him more clear-headed.

"No matter what... I will not let you go there. Kill that thought of yours!" The Blood Moon Elder grunted loudly.

Nonetheless, the middle-aged man did not speak, and he slashed with his saber.

The Blood Moon Elder's enormous body did not retreat, and he advanced instead, welcoming all the aura from the saber straight on.

In the next second, the Blood Moon Elder's chest area was crushed by the saber aura, and fresh blood stained his body red.

"Haha... Hahahaha!!" The Blood Moon Elder looked at his severely-wounded body and laughed wildly. "Satisfying... satisfying!!"

"Are you crazy?" The middle-aged man looked at the Blood Moon Elder without emotion.

"Hahaha, how can one not act a little wild in their lifetime?!" Then, the Blood Moon Elder continued to close in on the middle-aged man with an insane expression.

"You have a death wish."

The middle-aged man snickered coldly, and the long saber condensed a frightening destructive force.

Subsequently, the saber moved in an arc and advanced irresistibly.

The Blood Moon Elder's perfect defense was utterly weak before the middle-aged man and his long saber.

Thud!

The saber chopped off Blood Moon Elder's entire right leg. Without the support of a leg, the enormous body lost balance and fell to the ground immediately.

"You bit off more than you can chew." The middle-aged man snickered coldly upon seeing the sight.

Then, the middle-aged man did not spare the Blood Moon Elder another look, walked past him directly, and chased in the direction of Little You Yun and Little Luo Xue.

However, at this instant, the Blood Moon Elder raised his perfect left arm and slammed the ground heavily.

Boom...

Boom! Boom!

Under this huge force, the ground ahead shattered completely and formed a huge chasm that could not be leaped over.

"Don't you think of leaving!" Blood Moon Elder laughed.

"Is that it?" The middle-aged man's lips tugged up slightly, and he wanted to fly in the air instead. If he was unable to walk on the ground, traveling by air was the same too.

Yet, at this moment, the middle-aged man's expression changed. He was actually unable to fly... Was a mystic technique laid in the sky here?!

"Hahahaha, I have set a mystic technique here long ago. You cannot fly nor walk forward..." The Blood Moon Elder chortled.

"You're courting death!!" Realizing that he could not continue to pursue his target, the middle-aged man was utterly enraged, and his long saber slashed at Blood Moon Elder's neck heavily.

Puff!

A streak of blood splashed by along with the slit at his throat.

In a few breaths, large gushes of blood spewed out from Blood Moon Elder's neck and painted the ground bright red instantly.

Seeing that the Blood Moon Elder was completely breathless, the middle-aged man clenched his teeth. "You all... will not be able to escape..."

Afterward, the middle-aged man turned around and left.

Nonetheless, the Blood Moon Elder's tightly-shut eyes opened suddenly, and he raised his left arm at top speed.

"What?!"

The middle-aged man was stunned. Never had he thought that the Blood Moon Elder, who was slit at the neck, had not died!

"Got... got... you... Ha... Ha... Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!" Blood Moon Elder gripped on the middle-aged man tightly with his left palm as he laughed wildly. It was just that his neck was slit, and every word he spoke accelerated the blood loss at his neck.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

1203 - Blood Battle_5

"You..."

The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but the Blood Moon Elder put all his force in his hand.

In a second, the middle-aged man's body exploded in the Blood Moon Elder's hand and was crushed into pieces.

Boom!

Puff... puff... puff...

Eventually, the Blood Moon Elder's left arm fell weakly as he panted heavily.

"Holy... Holy Lady... I... Hong He... qing... succeeded in carrying out your order... and completed... completed... my mi... mission!" The Blood Moon Elder looked up at the sky and shouted.

Two streaks of tears flowed down Blood Moon Elder's cheeks.

Very swiftly, the Blood Moon Elder struggled to stand up, but the current him did not have any energy left, and he was unable to walk after losing a leg.

"I... Hong... Heqing... am not any... anyone's... split self..." Blood Moon Elder mumbled.

Many scenes played in the Blood Moon Elder's head in a moment.

Back when he and Ye Qingtang first met, he had no other choice and was forced to sign a Heavenly Dao contract with her...

The days that followed were joyous and carefree...

In Xuanling Sect, he became an ordinary disciple and was bullied and oppressed by Ye Qingtang every day.

Afterward, the two of them were through thick and thin together...

The sudden change in Xuanling Sect, heading to the Blood Moon Sect together, putting up an act.

In the Hell of Avicinaraka mystic realm, they stuck through the dangers together and never abandoned one another...

In the war, they trusted each other fully without any suspicions.

Thinking about it carefully, in his entire life, he only had that one friend-that one precious friend...

"Sorry... My friend..." The Blood Moon Elder chuckled softly.

At this instant, Ye Qingtang from afar felt her heart tremble slightly after killing several Ancient You Clan figures.

Ye Qingtang clearly felt that her contract with the Blood Moon Elder suddenly disappeared at that very moment.

An inauspicious feeling filled her rapidly...

Immediately, Ye Qingtang turned into a shadow and flew towards the location she last sensed him at.

Ye Qingtang found the Blood Moon Elder very quickly.

However, upon seeing Blood Moon Elder, Ye Qingtang could not show any expression. Her eyes widened slightly in astonishment.

"Holy... Holy Lady... why... are you... here..." The Blood Moon Elder looked at Ye Qingtang and chuckled softly.

"Don't talk..." Ye Qingtang shuttled to Blood Moon Elder's side with great strides.

"Ha... Haha... Holy Lady... I... I completed... your mission... The kids... are safe!" The Blood Moon Elder laughed loudly.

"Don't... say anything..." Ye Qingtang clenched her fists tightly. Unknowingly, her fingernails dug into her palm, and blood dripped down freely.

"I... can't say anything... in the future anyway..." The Blood Moon Elder looked at Ye Qingtang and said, "Thank... Thank you... my... friend... Please... live on!"

Along with his final cry, his huge body gradually turned into nothing and vanished completely.

"Heaven City's General is here. Kill her!"

Some Ancient You Clan people rushed over and shouted loudly as they looked at Ye Qingtang.

"Get lost!"

In a flash, monstrous black flames burned around Ye Qingtang, and the flames shot out in all directions.

In a few breaths' time, the dozens of people who chased over were completely devoured by the black flames.

Without looking back, Ye Qingtang gazed at the spot where the Blood Moon Elder disappeared and picked up a black wine gourd, which was the only thing the Blood Moon Elder left behind.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

1204 - Blood Battle_6

She could still remember that it contained the Blood Moon Elder's favorite alcohol.

The Blood Moon Elder had asked Ye Qingtang to drink together a few times. However, Ye Qingtang did not agree as she was not a drinker.

She opened the bottle and turned her wrist down to pour the alcohol onto the floor.

One glass to the immortal soul.

One glass to the smile that she could still remember.

"Friend... rest... in peace..."

Ye Qingtang's face was pale, and a mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth.

Ye Qingtang then poured the alcohol into her mouth.

She could feel that the familiar figure of the Blood Moon Elder also raised his glass and smiled. He clinked his glass with her and drank everything at one shot.

One glass to the soil.

One glass to us.

Farewell, my friend.

The alcohol was poured into her throat. She put the gourd in her pocket and stared at the increasing number of people from the Ancient You Clan. She stood at the spot like an icy mountain.

Screams and wails were heard constantly in the valley. Perfected Xuanchen had lost one of his arms. His whole body was covered by blood. He pierced the sword into the ground with his left hand. Though he had used all his strength, he was not willing to give up.

Everyone had used all their strength in the battle, but they all failed.

Though many people of the Ancient You Clan died as well and only a small number of people still remained, their main source of power was still alive.

You Tong stared at Ye Qingtang and said, "I did not expect that you would be so stubborn..."

You Tong thought that it would be easy to win the war in the South. However, there was no sign of ending the war even though the headquarters were taken down long ago. The resistance and stubbornness of the team were getting stronger, and that exceeded the Ancient You Clan's imagination.

Though the people of the Southern mainland lost greatly, the Ancient You Clan's victory was built on many lives sacrificed.

Swoosh!

Ye Qingtang scanned through the figures of the Ancient You Clan. She turned into a black flame, and the aura of destruction spread throughout the area.

You Tong frowned slightly. As he moved his eyes, the indescribable aura of the Heavenly Venerate surrounded the black flame.

After being suppressed by the aura of the Heavenly Venerate, the black flame faded gradually and turned back into Ye Qingtang's original self.

Though Ye Qingtang's martial ability was at the same level as General You Tong on this piece of land, their sources of energy were totally different. One was the power of the primordial qi, but the other was the power of a Heavenly Venerate. The difference was huge.

"Hehe... General of Heaven city. You and your army are stubborn and more powerful than I had thought... However, you have no chance of survival when your enemy is me." You Tong looked at Ye Qingtang, and his lips curved upwards slightly. His eyes turned into a green color and rotated at an even higher speed.

A cold glint flashed across her eyes as if she was about to sacrifice everything to fight against the Ancient You Clan.

However, the sky and the ground seemed to turn upside down at the instant without any sign. There was no Heaven city, no war zone or the valley.

What Ye Qingtang was seeing now was a sea of flame. The burning magma concentrated towards her and was about to engulf her.

"Illusion?!"

Ye Qingtang frowned heavily. She could see through the illusion based on her experience. The fire was an illusion created by You Tong's power of the Heavenly Venerate.

"This is bad!"

Ye Qingtang condensed the primordial qi in her body to the limit, and countless black flames appeared beside her body. The flames then rushed into the sky, trying to break the world of illusions created by You Tong.

______________________________________________________________________________________

1205 - Blood Battle_7

"So there is no way to break the illusion created by the Heavenly Venerate..." An ominous feeling arose in Ye Qingtang's heart.

Suddenly, Ye Qingtang's face was pale, and blood seeped out of her mouth.

The illusion was connected with the real world. If her body was injured in the outside world, she would suffer from the injury in the illusion as well...

The outside world...

Ye Qingtang's eyes were closed as she stood motionlessly in her original spot. Her left shoulder was pierced by You Tong's sword.

The remaining figures of the Ancient You Clan all started laughing.

Even the most powerful people of the inferior mainland would not possess the same level of power as a powerful person from a superior land. There was no hope of survival once she entered You Tong's illusion. She could only be manipulated by him...

"Hehe... You exceeded my expectation on the duration you endured in my illusion... However, you'll still die here." You Tong sneered.

"Eldest Young Lady?"

Some disciples of the Ye Family looked over and gritted their teeth. However, they lost all their fighting capabilities and could not even stand up straight due to their severe injuries.

"Hahaha, General... I think this lady's appearance... is special... It'll be a waste if she just died... How about... giving her to us..." One of the middle-aged men looked towards You Tong and showed a cunning smile.

You Tong's eyes suddenly darkened.

Swoosh!

You Tong sliced his sword down without making any sound. The middle-aged man's body was cut into half. Blood spurted out immediately, leaving a horrible scene.

"This..."

Everyone looked around and mumbled as their General suddenly killed a Yang Lord.

"I don't care what you do in your daily life. However, you need to obey my rules when you're following me. This is the battlefield. I hope that all of you give respect to our enemies. We can kill women... but..." You Tong paused and scanned through everyone coldly.

Some of the powerful figures who followed You Tong for a long period of time scoffed. You Tong would never bully or humiliate women. He resented such behaviors. The Yang Lord just now was seeking his own death.

However, some of the powerful figures who were dispatched to the Southern War scorned. The people of the inferior land could not even be addressed as human. Why couldn't they enjoy themselves after a long fight?!

"Hehe... This is a battlefield. Everyone fought hard to be able to stand here. Even those who died in your hands deserve your respect." You Tong sneered.

Everyone nodded their heads, and no one dared to say anything else.

You Tong was satisfied with everyone's reaction. He turned back slowly and moved the sword in his hand slowly.

Suddenly, before he could slash his sword down, a black giant eye appeared beside him.

"Commander..."

You Tong's pupil constricted as he saw the black eye. It was a Dharma artifact that was used to communicate with the Commander.

"Three princesses and two noble heirs from the Central Mainland were kidnapped. They ordered us to give up on conquering this land." An illusory voice came out of the black eye.

"What..."

You Tong and the rest of the Ancient You Clan figures were all shocked.

"Commander, who dares to kidnap the three princesses and the two noble heirs?!" You Tong frowned and asked.

The five of them were all children of the higher-ups of You Clan's headquarter. The Clan Master's beloved princess was also one of them...

"I'm not very sure, but I assume it's the third prince of the Eternal Dynasty." The illusory voice was heard again.

______________________________________________________________________________________

1206 - Blood Battle_8

"Ling Yan... It's him again?!" You Tong's eyes sparkled. When they entered this mainland, they were poisoned by Ling Yan. Now, when they were about to exterminate everything on this land, Ling Yan kidnapped the five noble descendants of the higher-ups of the Ancient You Clan? And even the Clan Master's beloved princess?!

"But... As long as we can find the reincarnation of the Spiritual Abode and use that power to absorb all the lives on this mainland, we will be able to maximize its power... That can allow the Ancient You Clan to have another great leap..." You Ton was not reconciled to retreat.

"How dare you! The Clan Master has given the order. We need to retreat within three days. I'll go and look for the reincarnation of the Spiritual Abode and bring her out of the mainland. After rescuing our three princesses and two noble heirs, we can use the Spiritual Abode's reincarnation power and absorb all the lives on this land!" The illusory voice shouted coldly.

"Yes..." You Tong nodded after a while. He could not do anything besides following the order.

"Don't stay there anymore. Go back to the headquarters now. I'm in the South now, and I'll go look for the reincarnation of the Spiritual Abode." The black eye disappeared.

"Ling Yan... You're really... seeking your own death..." You Tong sneered.

You Tong's sight landed on Ye Qingtang. Since he was about to return to the Central Mainland, he should kill the leader of the Heaven City to mark the end of the Southern war.

Swoosh!

You Tong raised his sword and slashed towards Ye Qingtang's neck.

Every member of the Ye Family shouted in rage.

However, before the sword landed, a blood-red figure suddenly appeared.

A crisp ringing sound was heard. A man stood in front of Ye Qingtang expressionlessly. He used two of his fingers and held You Tong's sword.

"Oh... there's another powerful person..." You Tong looked at the man in the blood-red robe and scorned.

However, before he could finish his words, the man in the blood-red robe punched him.

The punch was so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye.

There was a huge "boom", and You Tong's body was thrown out like a kite with a broken string.

"Ow..." Blood spurted out of You Tong's mouth, and he had a shocked expression.

The abilities of the man in the blood-red robe... were so terrifying...

You Tong returned after a while. He remained floating in the air and sized up the man from mid-air. "Who are you?"

"Come down."

The Blood Moon Holy Lord raised his right arm. Before knowing what was going on, You Tong's body was pulled by an invisible hand. He could not maintain his balance anymore and fell hard onto the ground.

However, some blood flew out of the Blood Moon Holy Lord's mouth.

"This body... cannot make it anymore..." The Blood Moon Holy Lord contemplated.

This body was heavily injured after fighting against the Demon God's body. If he could rest for a few months, he could recover. However, if he still tried to forcefully use the power in his body, the body might break into pieces.

The Blood Moon Holy Lord did not even bother to look at You Tong. He turned and looked towards Ye Qingtang.

There were some feelings that appeared in his cold eyes suddenly.

He knew that it would be the best ending if Ye Qingtang died here after the land was conquered...

______________________________________________________________________________________

1207 - Blood Battle_9

However, when the moment arrived, he did not know the reason why he could not control himself and saved her eventually.

The illusion world that Ye Qingtang was in collapsed as You Tong was heavily injured.

Ye Qingtang opened her eyes slowly, and a familiar but cold face appeared in front of her.

"Blood Moon... Bro... Brother?" Ye Qingtang frowned slightly as she stared at the Blood Moon Holy Lord.

Though she was stuck in the illusion world, she could sense what was going on in the outside world. If the Blood Moon Holy Lord did not save her just now, she would be dead under You Tong's sword.

"You... Since you want to kill me, why... did you save me?" Ye Qingtang looked at the Blood Moon Holy Lord and asked.

However, the Blood Moon Holy Lord just stood there without any response. Some traces of complexity appeared in his emotionless eyes.

Just as she had said, why did he save her... Even if that would cost him his body...

"I will kill you.. but, you can only die in my hands." After a while, the Blood Moon Holy Lord looked at Ye Qingtang and said.

"Are you satisfied with the answer?" He asked.

"Why do you want to kill me?" Ye Qingtang could never understand that.

Before the Blood Moon Holy Lord could say anything, You Tong shouted. "Kill them!"

As You Tong finished his words, the remaining figures of the Ancient You Clan dashed towards the Blood Moon Holy Lord.

The Blood Moon Holy Lord raised his right arm and waved his right hand downward.

Moon Extermination!

A blood moon at the Blood Moon Holy Lord's glabella rotated slowly.

The next second, under Ye Qingtang's surprised gaze, the few hundred figures of the Ancient You Clan were torn into pieces and disappeared like dust.

Puff...

After killing hundreds with one hand, the Blood Moon Holy Lord's face was pale, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth. He stumbled and was about to fall.

Ye Qingtang immediately went forward and held the Blood Moon Holy Lord. "Brother... How's your injury?"

The Blood Moon Holy Lord felt the warmth from Ye Qingtang. He frowned slightly and asked, "Are you caring for me?"

"Of course! Though I don't know why you want to kill me... But, you're my brother. We pledged under the sky before," Ye Qingtang said.

"Is it..." The Blood Moon Holy Lord took a complex glimpse at Ye Qingtang.

"Holy fiend extermination eye!"

You Tong suddenly shouted. His eyes rotated madly. A Godfiend shadow appeared from the eyes.

"I don't care who you are. Today, you will die here! This is a forbidden skill that runs with my life. You shall have a taste of that!" You Tong looked at the Blood Moon Holy Lord in rage.

"Back off."

The Blood Moon Holy Lord pushed gently, but Ye Qingtang moved back around ten meters from the little push.

As Ye Qingtang moved back, a fog made of blood surrounded the Blood Moon Holy Lord and You Tong immediately.

Around fifteen minutes later, the fog faded.

You Tong had become a pool of blood. The Blood Moon Holy Lord fell onto the ground with his clothes torn.

He stared at the stars quietly with his indifferent eyes.

Ye Qingtang's expression changed, and she ran over to the Blood Moon Holy Lord, trying to help him up.

However, Ye Qingtang's hands went through his body, as if there was nothing there...

"This..."

Ye Qingtang looked at the Blood Moon Holy Lord in shock.

______________________________________________________________________________________

1208 - Blood Battle_10

"Brother... Are you the Heavenly Emperor... Is this body a duplicate..." Ye Qingtang looked at the Blood Moon Holy Lord and said.

Previously, she knew from the Blood Moon Elder that the Blood Moon Holy Lord was a duplicate of the Heavenly Emperor. However, Ye Qingtang did not know who the Heavenly Emperor was.

The Blood Moon Holy Lord turned his head and looked at Ye Qingtang as he heard her voice.

"Do you want to know the truth?" The Blood Moon Holy Lord asked softly.

"Yes." Ye Qingtang said.

"Okay, then stay alive. We'll meet again soon... And I'll tell you everything before I kill you." The Blood Moon Holy Lord raised his right arm, trying to touch Ye Qingtang's face.

However, at the last moment, the Blood Moon Holy Lord's body became lusters and disappeared.

"Spirit incarnation..." Ye Qingtang showed a complicated expression as the Blood Moon Holy Lord disappeared.

Spirit incarnations were very different from duplicates. The Blood Moon Elder was a duplicate that was not under the control of the main body. However, the spirit incarnation was totally controlled by the main body. When the incarnation died, the spirit power would return to the main body...

"Heavenly Emperor..." Ye Qingtang mumbled.

He had definitely reached the Emperor-level... Why would an emperor's spirit incarnation pledge with her and want to kill her... but eventually, save her...

"Qingtang..."

Perfected Xuanchen slightly recovered after a while. He stumbled towards Ye Qingtang.

The few remaining disciples of the Ye Family also followed.

"Eldest Young Lady... we..."

Daoist Zijin could not say anything as he looked at the hell in front of him.

There were less than a hundred people left in the Ye Family.

Ye Ling and a few other Elders did not join the battle as their abilities were not up to the standard.

Ye Qingtang clenched her fists and did not say anything as she stared at everyone of the Ye Family.

...

There were many tombs that appeared in the valley on the second day.

Perfected Xuanchen and Daoist Zijin followed Ye Qingtang and bowed towards the tombs.

No one would know how many heroes were buried under the tombs here.

They used their blood to protect this mainland.

They did not give up even in the last moments of their lives.

"I, Ye Qingtang, swear here!"

"As long as I am still alive, the Ancient You Clan will pay their price one day... WITH THEIR BLOOD!"

Ye Qingtang took out a dagger and made a deep cut on her arm under everyone's gaze.

"Eldest Young Lady!"

Daoist Zijin was shocked.

"As long as the Ancient You Clan is still alive... The scar will remain!" Ye Qingtang said coldly.

Ye Qingtang kneeled down as she finished her words. She kowtowed constantly towards the tombs until her forehead was injured and blood stained the ground.

"They'll pay back with their blood!"

"They'll pay back with their blood!"

Everyone of the Ye Family shouted together.

Those who were buried under the tombs were all their siblings that they lived with in the past. All of them...

The little white tiger stared at Ye Qingtang and sighed but did not say anything.

Daoist Zijin walked to Elder Bai Kui's tomb. Tears ran down the old man's face even though he was more than a hundred years old.

"Old friend... This time, I'll never see you again after you leave me..."
