533: Chapter 533 Tang Junyao's Scheme, A Terrifying Curse

"Liu Ling, what exactly is going on?" Princess Nian Youyou's intuition sensed that something was slightly amiss.

"Reporting to the Empress, I sense five obscure auras in the Tianmu Mountain Range; their strength should be at the Dou Zun level."

Liu Ling withdrew his soul power, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice.

"Hmm, the intelligence is unclear. Let's hide first and wait for Hun Tiandi to finish his seclusion." Princess Nian Youyou pondered for a moment and gave the order.

Before Hun Tiandi left, he had instructed the two of them that if any accident occurred, they should follow Princess Nian Youyou's command.

Princess Nian Youyou was no ordinary woman; in just a few short decades, she had founded the Darong Chamber of Commerce, which spanned the Fighting Qi Continent.

Naturally, she possessed considerable means.

Liu Ling and Tian Xin nodded. The three of them hid behind a large bluestone. A moment later, just as they had concealed themselves...

A playful voice came from behind: "Hahaha, you've hidden yourselves well."

Looking back, Tang Junyao was in mid-air with her arms crossed. Her aura was incredibly thick, more than triple what it was before.

It seemed that her cultivation in the Tianshan Blood Pool had broken through the shackles of her cultivation level.

"Tang Junyao, have you broken through to Dou Zong?" Princess Nian Youyou's brow furrowed slightly, somewhat uncertain.

"It should be Half-step Dou Zong!" Liu Ling, beside her, spoke slowly.

"Correct, Half-step Dou Zong is enough to deal with you!" Tang Junyao said sharply. For a long time, she had fought Hun Tiandi several times and never gained the upper hand.

After her cultivation had greatly improved, she was determined to seek revenge. Tian Xin and Princess Nian Youyou had previously followed Hun Tiandi, so they were naturally close to him.

If she could eliminate them, it would surely cause Hun Tiandi heartache.

Boom!

Suddenly, she released the pressure of a Half-step Dou Zong, whipping up a monstrous wind in the surroundings. Trees shattered, and strange rocks flew about.

"Liu Ling, don't act yet. Watch out for the unknown auras hidden in the shadows."

"Leave this woman to me. Tian Xin, hide yourself well," Princess Nian Youyou said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Liu Ling knew this was the best choice; otherwise, if he fought Tang Junyao and the hidden experts targeted Princess Nian Youyou and Tian Xin, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Although Princess Nian Youyou had undergone the cleansing of the blood pool, she had not yet broken through the peak of Dou Huang to reach the Dou Zong level.

However, her foundation and strength had also improved significantly.

Princess Nian Youyou's figure flickered, and the golden wings behind her spread out. She surged toward Tang Junyao, with powerful Fighting Qi erupting from her body as she struck out with a palm.

"Courting death!"

Tang Junyao spoke coldly, her flame-like Fighting Qi surging as she struck a palm toward Princess Nian Youyou.

An energy handprint twenty feet in size condensed in front of her, the space slightly distorting. The two great palm prints collided and instantly shattered.

Within a hundred-foot radius, dust billowed and the earth shifted, as if two enraged magical beasts were fighting to the death.

Swish!

Princess Nian Youyou deployed her movement technique and sped toward the outskirts of the Tianmu Mountain Range, intentionally leading Tang Junyao away from the blood pool to avoid disturbing Hun Tiandi's seclusion.

Hidden in space, the five peerless experts communicated secretly.

"The remaining two should also be people close to Hun Tiandi. If we capture them, it will surely make him wary of acting!" the ruler of the Great Yan Empire spoke.

"Fine, then let Emperor Yuehua take action!"

Buzz!

Emperor Yuehua also knew that now was not the time for disputes. He slowly stepped out of space, raised his right hand, and a terrifying handprint grabbed toward Liu Ling and Tian Xin.

"Presumptuous!" Liu Ling was the first to notice. His figure flashed, and he threw a thunderous punch.

The blazing fist print, shimmering with golden light, collided in mid-air with Emperor Huayue's cold Fighting Qi.

Sizzle...

Cold and heat repelled each other, generating a thick white mist. After the cold handprint touched the terrifying fist print, it melted as quickly as snow in spring.

"Heavenly Flame?" Emperor Yuehua's expression changed. As a practitioner of cold Fighting Qi, the opponent he least wanted to face was someone like Liu Ling, who possessed a terrifying Heavenly Flame.

"Again!"

Liu Ling was furious. He knew that a long battle would be disadvantageous, and there were still four hidden experts. He had to defeat Emperor Yuehua first.

"Heavenly Flame? To think such a world-rare flame is in the hands of Hun Tiandi's subordinate. What a surprise."

The four experts communicated secretly, all showing grave expressions.

Years ago, a terrifying expert who possessed a Heavenly Flame had appeared on the Fighting Qi Continent. Was it about to happen again?

"Hmph, everyone, don't forget our major task!"

"That young girl should also be a bargaining chip. Let this venerable one capture her!" the Emperor of Great Yan said coldly.

Stepping through the void, he appeared in front of Tian Xin.

Roar!

The Little Golden Dragon on Tian Xin's shoulder sensed the hostility and let out a tender but majestic dragon roar, hissing at the Emperor of Great Yan.

"This dragon..." The Emperor of Great Yan's gaze fell on the Little Golden Dragon.

"You want to hurt Little Golden Dragon?" Tian Xin's gaze was cold, her tone chilling.

"Little girl, surrender without a fight and suffer less." The Emperor of Great Yan said indifferently.

"If you dare to hurt Little Golden Dragon, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning or having stars fall and crush you to death!" Tian Xin cursed at the Emperor of Great Yan like an angry child.

At this moment, whether it was the Emperor of Great Yan, the four hidden experts, or the experts Jin Shi and Jin Gu on the volcano...

All watched the battle before them dumbfounded.

Tang Junyao was led away by Princess Nian Youyou, Liu Ling was fighting Emperor Yuehua, and before them, Tian Xin was cursing the Emperor of Great Yan like a child.

However, the Emperor of Great Yan was protected by providence. With Tian Xin's current strength, it was unlikely to be effective.

If Tian Xin's strength had reached the Dou Zun level, the outcome would be uncertain.

Hahaha!

Rumble!

Hearing this, the Emperor of Great Yan couldn't help but laugh wildly. The next moment, a thunderclap exploded from the high heavens, echoing in everyone's ears.

Everyone looked up. In the clear sky, there wasn't a single dark cloud, but the eerie thunder exploded, sounding inexplicably.

The Emperor of Great Yan also stopped laughing and looked up. In the blink of an eye, a bolt of silver lightning struck down toward him.

This scene shocked all the experts present.

"That young girl..." Jin Shi suddenly stood up, as if seeing an unbelievable sight.

"Patriarch, what's wrong?" Jin Gu asked, puzzled.

As the patriarch of the Gold-Eating Mouse Clan, Jin Shi naturally knew some secrets of the Fighting Qi Continent.

"Lightning Tribulation?" The Emperor of Great Yan frowned. He raised his hand and struck out a huge palm print, rising to meet the silver lightning.

The lightning was annihilated. Before he could recover, nine consecutive bolts of lightning struck down, specifically targeting the Emperor of Great Yan.

"Blazing Dragon Punch!"

The Emperor of Great Yan snorted coldly. With his red flame Fighting Qi, he gathered his hands together and threw out nine red flaming dragon punches, with dragon roars echoing.

Gathering wind and clouds, the dragon shadows roared, crushing the nine bolts of lightning.

Rumble!

The sound of the explosive impact turned everything within a hundred-foot radius into ruins.

"Courting death!" After the Emperor of Great Yan shattered the nine bolts of lightning, he was furious. He looked at the glaring Tian Xin with a sharp gaze.

Swish...

Before he could act, fireballs trailing long tails fell from the sky like a meteor shower, smashing down fiercely toward the head of the Emperor of Great Yan.

"True Dragon Body Protection!"

The Emperor of Great Yan's face turned ashen. He sharply activated the True Dragon Qi within his body, forming a golden true dragon around him.

A massive dragon head and golden scales, a hundred feet in size, protected him within.

"Meteor shower?"

"No, it's falling stars!"

The four experts were shocked. They stepped out from the void, looking at the nine fireballs in the sky in shock.

"How is it possible? How can such a terrifying constitution exist on the continent?"

Jin Shi was completely shocked.

"Patriarch, what kind of constitution is this?" Jin Gu asked, waves of shock rising in his heart.

"Cursed Body!" Jin Shi took a deep breath and uttered in a raspy voice.
