431: Chapter 431 Desperate Situation

"Hao Meili, my girl, why must you do this? I can tell, this person truly cares about you!"

After expelling all forces from the Thousand Poison Ruins, a phantom soul emerged from Hao Meili's body, floating in mid-air.

With a look of regret, he felt immense pain in his heart for doing this to his close friend.

Immediately, the soul of Demon Lord Qiandu slipped into the dark green storage ring on Hao Meili's finger, leaving only Hao Meili behind.

"I'm sorry, Hun Tiandi, just let me fend for myself in the Thousand Poison Ruins!" she murmured, tears falling down her pretty face.

Ah...

Inside the void rift, Hun Tiandi's expression was extremely ugly. Violent spatial energy eroded his physical body, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

He was already severely injured, and now, with this expulsion by Demon Lord Qiandu, he was thrown into the void.

He was currently in a desperate situation. He channeled his Dou Qi to form a defensive light shield, but facing the infinite spatial energy, the Dou Qi in his body was being consumed frantically.

"What should I do?" Hun Tiandi felt anxious. Last time he encountered a spatial channel crisis, he had the help of Elder Dan.

Only then did he avoid getting lost in the void; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

His Soul Sword was damaged, and the Nether Small World could not be opened. If he could just take out a Human Puppet, it could also take him out of this desperate situation.

At this moment, even Hun Tiandi was at his wit's end.

"I don't know how Liu Ling and Qing Yue are doing. We got separated after entering the void rift. For now, I must focus on escaping!"

"How could I have forgotten it? Ten Thousand Soul Protection!"

From within his sleeve, the ten thousand soul banner slid out and hovered above his head, emitting black and purple evil energy that draped down to envelop Hun Tiandi.

Fighting for survival in a desperate situation, whether he could escape depended on this one move!

He channeled the three main demon souls—the Azure Sea Profound Dragon Beast, the Nine-Headed Poison Dragon Emperor, and the Heavenly Fiend Demon Emperor Soul—which appeared outside the banner and roared fiercely.

They crashed violently into the pitch-black void in front of him.

Rumble!

A terrifying force erupted, like a tsunami. A ray of light appeared in the spatial rift, with spatial fragments flowing.

"Good opportunity, Lightning Flash!" Hun Tiandi seized this glimmer of hope, faint silver electricity sparking on his toes, and he dashed toward the exit.

However, the spatial turbulence was buffeting him, slowing his speed.

Even with the three main demon souls pushing with all their might, the crack was already showing signs of healing.

Hun Tiandi grew anxious!

If he couldn't seize this glimmer of hope, he would fall in the endless space today.

He reached out to take his long blade, channeling all his Dou Qi into it, not hesitating to use the Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method, unleashing immense power.

"Fifty-Fold Strength!"

A ten-zhang-long blade aura erupted from the tip of the blade and slashed out violently. The Dou Qi in his body vented, and wherever it passed, the blade aura was peerless.

Crack!

The rift that had been healing instantly tore open. He grabbed the ten thousand soul banner and leaped into the air.

He dashed toward the exit: ten meters... five meters... three meters... one meter!

Rumble!

A hundred-meter-long spatial storm suddenly appeared behind him, slamming into Hun Tiandi's back in the blink of an eye.

Pfft!

With the help of this force, he finally escaped from the spatial rift.

Whoosh!

Before him was a dense forest. Hun Tiandi did not know where he was as he fell from the sky toward the mountains.

Trailing sparks and lightning, he crashed heavily into the forest, shattering an ancient tree five zhang thick.

Pfft...

He spat out blood like it was worthless, his face as pale as paper, his aura extremely wilted.

"Damn it, this is probably the most serious injury I've suffered since my rebirth!"

Hun Tiandi slowly stood up, put away the ten thousand soul banner, and plunged his long blade into the ground.

The Dou Qi in his body was completely exhausted. That previous strike had used up everything. If it weren't for the protection of the ten thousand soul banner while falling from such a height, Hun Tiandi would have become the first Dou Wang powerhouse in the history of the Fighting Qi Continent to die from a fall.

Awoo...

Looking around with a dazed expression, Hun Tiandi took a deep breath. He was covered in blood and looked like a beggar.

He took out a bottle of Spirit Wine and gulped it down to restore some Dou Qi.

A roaring magical beast emerged not far from Hun Tiandi. It was over three meters long, filled with baleful aura, with blood-red eyes and sturdy limbs.

It was a Tier 5 Green Scale Leopard, known for its extreme speed.

Drool dripping from its mouth, the foraging Green Scale Leopard saw Hun Tiandi and let out a bloodthirsty roar.

It was the blood-stained Hun Tiandi, emitting a rich scent of blood.

Hum!

Just then, the Green Scale Leopard lunged at the severely injured Hun Tiandi, wanting to devour him. He reached out to grab the long blade beside him.

Just as he prepared for a desperate fight, a palm print flew through the air, and the Tier 5 Green Scale Leopard was blasted to pieces.

Hun Tiandi turned his head to look, his expression turning livid, because he saw the person he least wanted to see.

An elder of the Starfall Pavilion, was his name Elder Hui?

"Kid, we really have fate. Wait until I capture you and take you back to the Starfall Pavilion to be dealt with by the Pavilion Master!"

Elder Hui said with a ferocious look. He was also severely injured and had just escaped from the spatial rift.

Except for Hun Tiandi and the others, everyone hit by Demon Lord Qiandu had been given a small gift.

The purple poison mist was a punishment for intruding into the ruins!

Whoosh!

Without a second thought, Hun Tiandi fled quickly; saving his life was the priority.

If he were in his prime, he could use his trump cards to fight, but now he was at the end of his rope. Even if Elder Hui was injured, a Dou Zong powerhouse was still a Dou Zong powerhouse.

It wouldn't take much effort to kill an injured Dou Wang ant.

He executed the Three Thousand Lightning Movement to the extreme. Silver light hummed at Hun Tiandi's toes as he used the dense ancient trees in the forest to dodge Elder Hui's pursuit.

Being hunted by a Dou Zong?

Fortunately, he had drunk the Spirit Wine earlier and recovered a bit of Dou Qi, which he used entirely for escaping.

"Kid, stop struggling, just obediently come with me!" Elder Hui's hoarse voice sounded like the Grim Reaper swinging his scythe.

He wanted to harvest his life.

Energy balls burst forth, shattering the ancient trees and mountain peaks behind him. The splashing rocks were like hidden weapons, hitting his back.

Blood holes appeared one after another, blood splattering everywhere.

Elder Hui didn't seem in a hurry to capture Hun Tiandi, but rather toyed with him like a cat playing with a mouse.

"Old bastard, when I, this Emperor, recover, I will definitely find a time to finish you off!" Hun Tiandi felt ruthless in his heart, drinking wine while popping pills.

He restored his pathetic amount of Dou Qi, and his speed increased once more.

In his panic, he actually ran to the edge of a steep cliff. Below was a bottomless abyss shrouded in clouds and mist.

His Dou Qi was exhausted, and he couldn't even manifest his Dou Qi Wings.

"A dead end?" Hun Tiandi's face was gloomy, black enough to drip water. Was he really going to die here? His grand ambition had only just begun.

"Hahaha, kid, this is Heaven wanting to end you. I will torture you well!"

Elder Hui said excitedly, punching Hun Tiandi to the ground. Blood sprayed from his mouth, and then a palm strike flew through the air, sending his body flying backward.

The intense pain throughout his body nearly caused him to lose consciousness.

Another punch landed, and a cracking sound came from his chest. He spat out black blood, but Hun Tiandi remained calm, looking deeply at Elder Hui.

The cold killing intent in the depths of his eyes nearly froze the firmament.

"Little brat, you dare look at me with such eyes? I'll take your life with this last move!"

Boom!

Elder Hui channeled his Dou Qi, and a huge fist light emerged. He punched the edge of the cliff, rocks crumbled, and Hun Tiandi had already been shaken off the cliff.

As the falling Hun Tiandi heard the sound of the wind, his aura was wilted, like a candle in the wind!

"Is this how I die? Meili, you must live well..."

Hun Tiandi said helplessly. The figures of Qing Yue, Liu Ling, Princess Nian Youyou, and others seemed to float before his eyes, and then he fell into unconsciousness.

Hum!

Suddenly, the space before his eyes rippled, and a woman with azure blue hair walked out, looking cold and detached, her brows slightly furrowed.
