187: Chapter 187 The Terrifying Soul Emperor

Outside Dan City, on a green mountain, beneath a waterfall.

Hun Tiandi and Lei Xuanji stood with their hands behind their backs. The man and woman made a handsome pair, their gazes fixed in the distance, as if they were waiting for something.

At this moment, eight figures appeared at the foot of the green mountain, radiating cold killing intent, with a middle-aged man in the lead.

The eight of them flashed forward simultaneously beneath the waterfall, surrounding Hun Tiandi. After searching for so long, the tracks of Hun Tiandi and his group had finally been found.

"Since you have come, come out. This is beneath your dignity."

Hun Tiandi's voice, bolstered by his Dou Qi, spread toward the surrounding waterfall, echoing throughout the terrain of the green mountain.

The eight of them immediately halted, their expressions changing. They had actually been discovered; they were currently positioned in front of the waterfall.

Hun Tiandi led Lei Xuanji onto a bluestone and looked down together.

"The Xiao Family Law Enforcement Team. I didn't expect you to be so persistent; you really did chase us down..."

Hun Tiandi stood on the bluestone, smiling as he looked at the eight people below.

"Yun Tian, you cannot escape. Come back to the Xiao Family with me to await your punishment." The leader narrowed his eyes, staring at Hun Tiandi.

After the Xiao Family captain finished speaking, the seven figures behind him gazed coldly at Hun Tiandi. Their goal was to either bring him back or kill him.

Looking at the formidable Xiao Family experts staring at him, Hun Tiandi felt not a shred of fear.

Whoosh...

While the Xiao Family members were in a standoff with Hun Tiandi, more than a dozen figures arrived from the distance. Their auras were surging, and as they scanned the surroundings, they naturally discovered the other party.

"The Qiu Family?" Hun Tiandi furrowed his brows slightly. The Qiu Family had certainly arrived at a timely moment.

The Blue-robed woman did not know the people from the Qiu Family and the Xiao Family, but during this period, it was said that there was a woman beside Hun Tiandi. Could she be a concubine of Hun Tiandi?

"The Xiao Family is handling business. Irrelevant people, retreat immediately." The Xiao Family captain said coldly.

He reprimanded the Qiu Family members, seemingly intending to use the prestige of the Xiao Family to intimidate his enemies.

"The Patriarch has ordered us to capture Yun Tian and force him to reveal the whereabouts of Liu Ling..." The Fifth Elder of the Qiu Family directly ignored the warning from the Xiao Family.

"Attack!" The Fifth Elder of the Qiu Family waved his hand, and the many experts behind him struck first, shooting toward Hun Tiandi.

"Presumptuous!" The Xiao Family captain's expression changed, and he charged at the Qiu Family first.

Waving the long sword in his hand, the two factions fell into a chaotic battle. Colorful Dou Qi exploded in mid-air, and the surging energy spread frantically.

"The fire isn't strong enough yet?" Hun Tiandi murmured, a strange smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

With a flick of his large sleeve, a black shadow tore through the air and disappeared from sight.

"Damned bastard, acting now ruins the Young Sect Leader's plan..." The person from the Tianyin Sect who had been watching Hun Tiandi from afar was furious as he looked at the two factions locked in a life-and-death battle.

At this moment, feeling a chill behind him, he suddenly turned around to see a black shadow, and the hair on his entire body stood on end.

Reaching out to grab the lackey from the Tianyin Sect who had been spying, Hun Tiandi swung his arm in a full circle. A perfect arc traced through the sky as the lackey was launched toward the distance.

The fighting Qiu Family and Xiao Family experts suddenly looked up as a figure came hurtling toward them.

Rumble.

With a cold look in his eyes, a massive palm imprint condensed and slammed out. The Tianyin Sect lackey who had come flying through the air was killed by a single strike, without even letting out a scream.

At Tianmen Mountain, Xuan Ming had been waiting impatiently; the cold, sinister aura on his body was becoming increasingly volatile, like ice from the Nine Netherworlds.

"Why hasn't Yun Tian arrived yet?" Xuan Ming said with frustration.

The subordinates behind him remained silent. Elder Tian spoke indifferently: "Young Sect Leader, shall we send someone to investigate?"

Xuan Ming nodded slightly, and Elder Tian waved his hand, sending someone behind him shooting off into the distance.

"Too slow." Hun Tiandi moved his mind, and the Black Robed Man puppet tore through the air, charging directly into the two factions. Whether it was the Xiao Family or the Qiu Family, he had no intention of showing mercy.

Bang... He struck ruthlessly, killing a Dou Zong-level expert from the Qiu Family, instantly obliterating him.

"Yun Tian, you dare to kill my Qiu Family members? When our Qiu Family's Dou Zun-level experts find out, they will definitely not let you go!" The Fifth Elder of the Qiu Family shrieked at the top of his lungs.

Looking at the terrified Fifth Elder, Hun Tiandi smiled faintly: "From the moment your Qiu Family offended me, I have been locked in a life-and-death struggle with both your Qiu Family and the Xiao Family. Dou Zun-level?"

"So what if they are Dou Zun? As long as they dare to come, I will ensure they never return."

For Hun Tiandi, establishing his own power was not far off. Enemies would only increase. As long as conflicts of interest were involved, he would face even Saint-level experts in the future, let alone mere Dou Zun experts.

With a wave of his large sleeve, the ten thousand soul banner tore through the air, sealing off this area of space.

Black and purple gases flowed like a vast ocean, enveloping the people of the Xiao Family and the Qiu Family. From the outside, a black and purple light barrier covered the sky.

"It is time to finish you all off..."

Hun Tiandi's expression tightened. With a wave of his sleeve, eight Black Robed Man figures appeared, their cold killing intent shrouding everyone.

"How is this possible?" The Fifth Elder of the Qiu Family's eyes were filled with horror. Such a grand display was something even the Qiu Family did not possess.

As one of the five major families of the Pill Tower, they naturally possessed considerable heritage, but refining Human Puppet of this level required consuming immense resources.

When Hun Tiandi acted and revealed nine Human Puppet, the Fifth Elder of the Qiu Family broke down.

At the same time, the Xiao Family members stared in disbelief at the figures surrounding them, their heartbeats quickening. So this was the method Yun Tian had used to escape capture so many times.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!" Hun Tiandi said coldly.

The nine Human Puppet struck first, bearing immense killing intent, diving into the crowds of the Qiu Family and Xiao Family like a Kunpeng entering the sea.

The Xiao Family members turned to run, but they had no chance; their chests were pierced by a punch from a Human Puppet.

Whenever anyone died, the emerging soul bodies were all devoured by the ten thousand soul banner. Nourished by the souls, the demonic energy on the soul banner became increasingly dense.

"If we want to survive, we must kill Yun Tian first; otherwise, no one will make it out alive!" The Xiao Family member said anxiously.

The Fifth Elder of the Qiu Family's expression froze, and he felt a chill in his heart as he watched his elites constantly perishing all around him.

Nodding slightly, the two of them broke free from the Human Puppet and shot toward the direction of Hun Tiandi in the distance.

"Interesting!" Hun Tiandi smiled slightly. Beside him, Lei Xuanji's pretty face turned cold, and she charged at the Fifth Elder of the Qiu Family with her long sword.

The remaining Xiao Family member looked at his side, seeing no one left to protect him, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

As long as he killed Yun Tian, everything would be resolved.

Pointing his long spear, he thrust directly at Hun Tiandi. A beam of spear light tore through the air, carrying immense Dou Qi, and erupted with a spear glow that shot toward him.

Hun Tiandi narrowed his eyes slightly, then opened them wide. With a thought, he activated the Soul Weapon Art.

The Crimson Sword tore through the void, carrying invisible soul power, and viciously pierced into the Xiao Family member's sea of consciousness, infinite sword energy falling like raindrops.

Slicing into his soul, Ah... he let out a painful scream and clutched his head with both hands.

"Kill!"

He reached out and drew the abi sword, violently swinging a sword aura to slash at the Xiao Family member, his body suddenly expanding.

Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method, First Layer!

"Mountain Collapse!"

With a thunderous boom, Hun Tiandi's long sword struck the Xiao Family member's long spear, and the clash transformed into energy ripples that spread toward the surroundings.

The Xiao Family member had been struck by the soul-slashing Crimson Sword; the pain, akin to being sliced by a thousand knives, caused his strength to be greatly diminished.

Coupled with Elder Dan's power, even though Hun Tiandi's strength was weak, under the weight of his various schemes, he was still not at a disadvantage.

The sword aura shredded the spear glow, and the Xiao Family member instinctively wanted to retreat.

How could Hun Tiandi let him have his way? He slashed his long sword down fiercely.
