Chapter 167: Fighting for Every Second

  The cyan blood bat carried the Shura Blood Guard, flying slowly above Yunxia Island. On the first of the six-level cyan blood bats, Mo Duan's soul was solemn and his eyes were wide open, with a flash of light in between.

  This is his second time coming to Yunxia Island.

  Last time, he brought the Shura Blood Guard and swept through Yunxia Island, killing all the masters of the ancient families.

  Logically speaking, with Gu's family power and courage, they shouldn't dare to play any tricks. However, Mo Duanhun was extremely cautious. As soon as he arrived at Yunxia Island, he secretly guarded against it, even releasing his divine consciousness to hover above the island, observing any abnormalities at all times.

  When Mo Duanhun came to Yunxia Island, he received a message from Yang Qingdi, telling him that this trip might be somewhat unfavorable.

  Yang Qing Emperor was busy dealing with the demons of the Fourth Demon Domain, and as a family head, he wouldn't easily come to Yunxia Island to discuss anything with Gu Lie. However, since he calculated that Shi Yan would appear on Yunxia Island, he wasn't at ease, so he let Mo Duanhun go to Yunxia Island beforehand to prepare well, lest they be plotted against by the Gu family.

  Mo Duanhun had absolute faith in Yang Qingdi's divine powers, so before coming, he had prepared some measures to meet the unexpected needs.

  With Yang Qingdi's warning, Mo Duanhun was naturally cautious and careful, slowing down even the speed of the Qingxue Demon Bat.

  Feng Lei Fei Shi Shang, Xia Xin Yan, He Qing Man wore a veil, also silent.

  The two women's bright eyes were shining with a cautious light, quietly paying attention to the situation on Yunxia Island below.

  Especially Xia Xinyan, whose beautiful eyes still held a faint sadness. She knew that Shi Yan was on Yunxia Island and wanted to see him immediately, but she didn't know how to find him, her emotions were somewhat complicated.

  He Qingman was calm and composed, with a hint of a smile in her eyes. She would occasionally glance down, then look up at Xia Xinyan, her curiosity growing heavier by the minute.

  Judging from Xia Xinyan's performance, she really paid great attention to that guy named Shi Yan.

  All the way, from Xia Xinyan's mouth, He Qingman heard many stories about Shiyan, and she really wanted to see what kind of person Shiyan was and why he could make the heavenly beloved girl of the Galo Sea so infatuated.

  "Be careful, we're descending." Mo Duan's voice was low and even as he controlled the Qingxue Demon Bat, slowly lowering it down towards the stone spire below.

  In the stone courtyard below, many ancient family members were tense and scattered, actively making way for the Cyan Blood Bat to land.

  A dark blood bat fell down one after another, Mo Duan's soul furrowed his brow and got off the dark blood bat, narrowing his eyes to size up the surroundings, saying lightly: "Who is in charge here?"

  A servant of the ancient house stepped forward with a respectful bow, saying: "Lord Mo, please wait for a moment. My master is not here at present and is currently in another mine preparing to sign some documents. We have already sent word out and it won't be long before my master arrives."

  Mo Duan's soul was cold and he snorted, saying lightly: "What is Gu Lie? He also dares to put on airs in front of me?"

  "Please calm down, sir! Please calm down, sir!" The man nodded and bowed, his forehead covered in cold sweat, as he stammered.

  Mo Duanhun, as the leader of the three great Asura Kings, was notorious for his ruthless and cold-blooded nature in the Endless Ocean. In the battles that took place in the surrounding seas, Mo Duanhun would always emerge victorious, slaughtering his enemies from all directions and sending the powerful warriors from other seas to their graves.

  Among the three Asura Kings, Mo Duanhun rarely spoke, but was the most ruthless and merciless. He would not act unless necessary, and once he did, no one would be left alive.

  "Half an hour." Mo Duanhun furrowed his brow, "If Gu Lie doesn't arrive within half an hour, you can all follow him to the grave. The last time we bathed in blood on Yunxia Island, I don't mind doing it again."

  As soon as this was said, the faces of all the old family members turned white, and they felt a chill run down their spines. Some warriors with lower cultivation levels were trembling in their legs and feet, as if they could hardly stand steadily.

  If someone else had said this sentence, the Gu family might not have taken it to heart, but since it was Mo Duanhun who spoke, the Gu family's hearts were shattered.

  Mo Duanhun has always been a man of his word, not only does he speak with conviction, but also has the power to back it up, and is capable of bathing Yunxia Island in blood. When someone like him speaks, who would dare not take him seriously?

  "Sir Mo, I'll continue to inform the master." The man wiped the cold sweat from his face, bent down and lowered his head, quickly rushing towards a stone tower, hastily releasing a carrier pigeon.

  Mo Duanhun stood silently, like a straight pine tree, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was meditating.

  Not a single word was spoken, nor was there any deliberate release of pressure, yet the Gu family members were all shocked and terrified, as if they had a huge mountain on their backs, and couldn't even stand up straight.

  ……

  Congregating Spirit Pond

  A soul-summoning banner fluttered in the wind, and one by one, souls were sucked onto it, revealing ferocious ghostly faces on the banner.

  In the center of the valley, many stone pillars stand upright. These stone pillars are multicolored and depict various magical patterns, emitting extremely strong energy fluctuations.

  Above the valley, in the gray misty fog, there were also flashes of dark light. These dark lights formed a layer of thin film, covering the space above the valley and preventing spiritual exploration.

  The Soul Pool, with waves rolling in, countless souls of the living floating on its surface.

  In the Soul-Gathering Pool, there seem to be tens of thousands of souls, densely packed and filling every corner of the pool.

  These eerie soul-like creatures, with their bizarre and varied appearances, all shared a similarly gloomy and deathly aura, filled with hatred and resentment towards the world, twisting and contorting in extreme madness, making one's hair stand on end just by looking at them.

  Next to the Soul Pond, there were only Gu Lie and Gu Jian Ge, two people from the ancient family, and no other powerful figures from the ancient family.

  Gu Lui furrowed his brow and cautiously looked at the Soul Gathering Pool with a solemn expression, not daring to relax in the slightest.

  The ancient sword song is also very tense, constantly walking back and forth beside the soul-gathering pool, checking if the restrictions here exist, checking if those stone pillars are all right.

  A falcon, piercing through layers of gloom, suddenly flew over.

  The ancient sword song grasped the letter eagle in his hand, took a look at the letter above and said in a low voice: "Dad, don't make empty promises. If you can't arrive within half an hour, he will massacre Cloud Island again."

  Gu Lui's face sank, and he snorted, saying: "Don't bother with him."

  "What about the people on the other side?" Gu Jian Ge thought for a moment, "Were they all sacrificed?"

  "Let's see." Gu Lie's expression was cold, "The demon has come out early, even if they're lucky, otherwise they'll be unlucky. There aren't any powerful people on that side anyway. Only you and I know about this matter, but we've also disappeared for a period of time before. If they say something wrong afterwards, we'll be in danger too... It's better to die."

  "I understand." Gu Jian Ge nodded.

  "Have you all checked? Is everything okay?" Gu Lie asked.

  "No problem, everything is normal, let's get started."

  "Alright, I'll get started right away and summon the demon soul to come over. Be careful and keep an eye out around you, don't let any aura leak out before the demon soul arrives, or else if Mo Duanhun finds out ahead of time, he'll kill his way here immediately, and the seals here won't be able to stop him."

  "Dad, don't worry, I know what to do."

  "Uh-huh."

  ……

  Shi Yan's expression was solemn and he flew rapidly with his fastest speed towards the mountain valley where the Soul Gathering Pearl was located.

  Mo Duanhun has arrived, and the Gu family is indeed taking action, they will take immediate action.

  From now on, demons may appear in that valley at any time.

  The demon's target will be Mo Duanhun, and as soon as he comes out, he will definitely kill his way to Mo Duanhun without hesitation.

  Taking advantage of the demon's departure from the Soul Gathering Pool, Shi Yan could enter the valley and use the power of the Xuan Ice Flame to destroy the layers of seals in the valley, then rush into the Soul Gathering Pool to retrieve the Soul Gathering Bead.

  At this time, Mo Duanhun may or may not be able to withstand the demon's attack. Shi Yan didn't dare confirm it, but at this moment, even if he wanted to tell Mo Duanhun, it was too late.

  Now he can only go all the way to get the Soul Gathering Bead at the fastest speed.

  Once he got the Soul Gathering Bead, he had a way to deal with the demon.

  As long as Mo Duanhun is still there, nothing will happen again.

  Various thoughts had been calculated in his mind long ago, and Shi Yan also carefully weighed the pros and cons before deciding on this approach.

  The Blood Pattern Ring was also shining brightly, and the Xuanbing Cold Flame inside seemed to be extremely excited. The Soul Gathering Bead's attraction to it was enormous, and as they were about to obtain the Soul Gathering Bead, the Xuanbing Cold Flame became agitated.

  Ten minutes later.

  A shocking and earth-shaking energy fluctuation suddenly surged out from the direction of that mountain valley.

  A thick, ink-like demonic aura, as if an eternal cloud cluster that cannot be dispersed, covered the entire sky of Yunxia Island.

  In the midst of thick demonic energy, a violent soul energy rapidly condensed

  Soon, above that valley, a powerful soul fluctuation appeared, causing the stone rocks to feel awe.

  That soul appeared above the valley, all the evil spirits gathered in the valley, and in an instant, the valley changed from daylight to dark night.

  Even Shi Yan, who was running wildly, suddenly found his vision blocked and couldn't see things even a hundred meters away.

  At the same time, another powerful soul fluctuation suddenly came from the quarry of the Shi family, and a green dot suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance, like a rising star.

  That light point is extremely bright, comparable to the sun and moon.

  Although the line of sight was blocked by layers of demonic energy, that light point was too bright, and Shi Yan could see clearly.

  The first of the three Asura Kings, Mo Duanhun

  Shi Yan's heart was shocked, and he clearly felt a fierce and evil aura emanating from the cyan light dot. The cyan light dot seemed to know that it had encountered a strong enemy, but it did not show any fear, instead, it immediately emerged, as if it wanted to confront the demon head-on.

  Looking from afar at the cyan light spot, Shi Yan couldn't help but feel a bit of confidence, thinking that with Mo Duan's soul power, he should be able to withstand the demon's soul impact.

  Thinking so, Shiyuan didn't dare hesitate either and continued to charge towards the valley with his head down.

  The demon's soul had flown out of the valley, forming a thick demonic cloud. Under the rolling demonic energy, it surged towards the cyan light point where Mo Duan's soul was located.

  At this time, it was the best opportunity for Shi Yan to retrieve the Soul Gathering Bead.
