695: Chapter 178: Before Returning_1 695: Chapter 178: Before Returning_1 The shattered fingers, the blood splattered towards the starry skies.
Before it even reached the halfway point, it transformed into various Exotic Beasts: some fleeing in all directions, others struggling to return to the giant hand.
The Yuan Sovereign Clan People who grasped at Su He cried out in pain.
The originally capturing hand suddenly carried a murderous intent.
A palm came crashing down.
The captain, who had just repelled Yuan Yan with a punch, turned his head to look, a murderous intent glinting on his subordinate.
Xuan Wu belongs to the Big Witch!
The body of that Yuan Sovereign Clan member shook.
The killing intent in his hand paused, no longer daring to act unbridled.
He still kept a firm hold on Su He.
No one saw the Yuan Sovereign Clan person grow larger, nor did they themselves shrink, yet the ordinary-sized Yuan Sovereign Clan person was somehow able to grasp the more than a zhang tall Su He in hand.
Size had no meaning here.
The man grasped him; though the murderous intent dared not show, he slightly increased his grip.
Su He let out a muffled groan.
His mouth tasted sweet, almost spitting out blood, but he swallowed it back down with force.
The Yuan Yan, transformed by Baiyin, immediately turned cold in expression; killing intent bursting forth, looking at the Temple Guards, he saw nothing but dead men.
He flipped over to deliver a palm strike.
At that moment, as if Su He couldn’t bear the pinching anymore, he let out a pained roar that resounded in Baiyin’s ears, snapping her back to her senses.
Now was not the time to act rashly!
Baiyin’s version of Yuan Yan paused, the murderous intent dissipated from her body, replaced by a look of unwillingness.
Clutching her chest, as blood seeped from her gums, she gave the captain a fierce glare.
The captain glanced at her indifferently and reached towards her.
Baiyin, feigning anger, let out a cold snort.
The Bright Pearl in her hand exploded thunderously, repelling the captain’s hand: “Trying to snatch Xuan Wu from the North Territory, you also think to detain this general?
The Temple is quite overbearing!”
Taking advantage of the Bright Pearl’s explosive power, Baiyin retreated instantly.
Simultaneously, a Token was crushed in her hand.
An Intention spread in all directions, the captain being too slow to stop it.
His face turned cold as he reached for Baiyin again.
Not only do you intend to hoard Xuan Wu, but are you also trying to provoke a war between the Northland’s Sovereign Lord and the Big Witch?
They had all heard clearly Yuan Yan’s previous statement about engulfing Xuan Wu, despite the spatial separation!
The captain reached out, only to see a ruthless look flash in the eyes of Yuan Yan, a Phoenix hairpin appearing in his hand.
It shimmered with light as it stabbed forward.
The captain’s expression changed.
That was the Venerable Lord of the Northland’s hairpin!
A hairpin of the Immortal Sovereign that would consume the Origin for propulsion at Heaven Seven-fold.
It could not be resisted for now!
“Leave!” The captain slashed out with a knife, tearing apart the starry space in front of him, blocking the hairpin for a moment.
A subordinate had already opened a rift in the void behind them, and the team entered in succession, fleeing far away.
A team holding onto Su He swiftly moved forward, while the phantom of the hairpin reemerged, the channel collapsing bit by bit, and Yuan Yan continued in relentless pursuit!
“Captain!” cried the Yuan Sovereign Clan person holding Su He, looking towards the captain.
The captain remained silent, as if blind to the chase behind him.
The others stopped talking, none of them could have imagined that a mere grand-grandson-in-law would have the Venerable Lord’s hairpin in hand, and that Yuan Yan would willingly shatter his Origin to activate it.
That Black Tortoise, it held more authority than they had imagined!
Otherwise, why wouldn’t Yuan Yan turn over the Xuan Wu and wait for the clan’s reward?
The captain cleaved behind him with his sword, lifting a spatial turbulence, barely holding back the hairpin.
He then struck the passage with a fist, blowing it open and leaping out with everyone to see a hairpin breaking and advancing through the original channel.
The captain’s gaze shifted slightly.
Yuan Yan was merely borrowing the hairpin’s power; his own Boundary Status insufficient, and indeed, he could not immediately discover their escape.
“Go!” He opened another passage and swiftly led his people through it.
In the starry sky, a hairpin flashed and disappeared in an instant.
The stars seemed as if they never witnessed a fight.
Yuan Yan, standing in the starry sky, slowly turned back into Baiyin.
No need to truly catch up when frightening a couple of Temple Guards who had just opened their Fairy Sect is enough.
Standing in the starry sky, she looked towards the direction of the Yuan Sovereign Clan’s Divine God-blessed Land, said to be the birthplace of the Yuan Sovereign Clan.
With Temple Guards for protection, her clan brother should be able to safely make it there… right?
Where Su He was could not be predicted by Trigrams Measurement.
Baiyin did not know the outcome but, after pondering, a shadow still emerged from her body, shaping into the likeness of Yuan Yan, a face full of brutality as he punched through the void, chasing after the Temple Guards.
“Despicable Temple villains!
Daring to misguided me!
Return the hairpin!” He roared, the hairpin coming from the void.
Before Yuan Yan could catch up, figures emerged from the void, also chasing after the Temple Guards.
Yuan Yan immediately boiled with rage: “Southland’s rats, you too desire to snatch my Xuan Wu!” He yelled madly, heedless of himself, throwing his fists and entering the fray.
In the great battle, alone at Stepping Sky Seven-fold, he turned a team of guards into dust, yet Yuan Yan himself lost an arm and a leg, seemingly oblivious, as the hairpin on his head relentlessly pursued the Temple Guards.
His body emitted a ‘keep out’ aura; the Xuan Wu was his, and no one was allowed to come close!
Anyone sneakily approaching was killed by him before they could get near the Temple Guards.
But ultimately, with heavy injuries, as the Divine God Enlightenment Land loomed closer, Yuan Yan, greatly wounded and with the hairpin draining his Origin, couldn’t keep up and watched helplessly as a team of Temple Guards hurried into the Temple-controlled star domain with Su He.
Yuan Yan could only stop outside the star domain, in a fit of impotent rage.
After a long while, seeing shadows of Temple Guards emerge from the domain, he roared hysterically, leaving with eyes full of unrelenting fury.
The true death without closing one’s eyes!
After shattering their Origin, how many could survive?
In the distant starry skies, Baiyin stood quietly; a Flying Boat flew past her, completely ignoring her presence.
Even the powerful detection Magical Treasures on the Flying Boat failed to sense even a hint of her breath.
