236: Chapter 236 Major Crisis! Su Xiyue Appears!

Additionally, there was another meaning to these words, which was to vindicate him.

Although the words he spoke to Li Junze at the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury contained an intention to use Li Wuqing.

However, it was precisely this exploitation that made Li Junze unable to wait to bare his fangs.

Otherwise, if Li Junze were allowed to continue plotting, I fear the situation would become even worse by then.

Being able to exterminate the traitor earlier meant being able to rest easy sooner.

Evidently, Li Wuqing heard the subtext in Lin Ran's words and immediately agreed with Lin Ran's approach.

"Old Li, these people from Heavenly God Mountain are left to you. As for your son, I will kill him!"

Lin Ran patted Li Wuqing on the shoulder, summoned the immortal suppressing demon sword, and charged toward Li Junze.

Seeing this, the experts from Heavenly God Mountain rushed up one after another, but they were all blocked by Li Wuqing.

"Die!"

Lin Ran slashed out with his sword; it looked like he was using his full strength, but in reality, his eyes were full of calculation.

With the System's reminder, he naturally knew that Li Junze still possessed a life-saving talisman.

And what he needed to do now was, naturally, to make Li Junze use up this life-saving talisman.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to take action against that Evil Dragon later.

His original intention was not to kill Li Junze before he released the Evil Dragon; he wanted Li Junze to release the Evil Dragon, and then kill Li Junze!

Simply put, he wanted both Li Junze's life and the life of that Evil Dragon!

Otherwise, he would not have a dignified reason to slay that Evil Dragon!

After all, once the Evil Dragon died, the dragon vein of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty would be gone!

Before the suppressing power of the heaven burying sword decreased to an extreme, the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty would likely find it hard to agree.

"Hum!"

Layers of halo rippled across Li Junze's Physical Body, and he actually blocked Lin Ran's sword strike without a scratch.

Seeing that Li Junze had already used his last life-saving talisman, a wicked smile curled at the corner of Lin Ran's mouth.

"Die!!!"

Just as Lin Ran thought everything was under control and proceeding according to his plan, a large hand made of mana suddenly emerged from the Void Realm and struck at him.

This person was also at the Heavenly Palace Realm, and because they attacked when someone was unprepared, even Li Wuqing did not react in time.

The hairs all over Lin Ran's body stood on end instantly, and the Origin Divine Ability of his Destiny Immortal Body, Yin-Yang Immortal Body, and Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone were all unleashed at this moment.

The Yin-Yang Primordial Dao Ancestral Dragon, the power of the Physical Destiny Runes, and all his mana were injected into the immortal suppressing demon sword.

He wanted to block this large mana hand!

A crisis of death instantly enveloped him; he had never felt the threat of death from such a close distance before.

An expert with Heavenly Palace Realm cultivation had actually been hiding in the shadows all along, and for some reason, had evaded the detection of the Yin-Yang Innate Dao Eyes, just to deliver a thunderous blow to him!

"Boom!"

All of Lin Ran's methods and all his Divine Ability techniques were futile in the face of this large mana hand.

After all, the difference in Realm was too great!

He was only at the Yang Venerable Realm Ninth Heaven; although he could kill a Great Emperor against the odds, how could he be a match for a Heavenly Palace Realm Expert?!

Furthermore, Meng Qing was currently fighting in the imperial court, and Li Wuqing was also being held back by other Heavenly Palace Realm Experts.

Today, for him, it seemed to have become a certain-death situation.

"Rumble!"

Above the firmament, a terrifying and dazzling sword light that swallowed the sun struck down at high speed.

Along with it came a familiar voice.

"Who dares to touch my disciple?!"

The sword light was unstoppable and pressed forward; wherever it passed, Yin and Yang were thrown into chaos, and it actually severed that large mana hand!

"Ah!!!"

A wail of agony suddenly rang out from the Void Realm.

Hearing the familiar voice above the firmament, Lin Ran's heart trembled.

She wore a black silk gauze dress, and her jade feet were straight and slender.

Her face was as beautiful as a fairy's, her Phoenix eyes shimmered with autumn waves, her lips were like cherry blossoms, and her nose was small and exquisite.

Her beauty did not surpass Xia Lingshuang's.

Her allure did not surpass Yan Ruyu's.

Her "stature" did not surpass Meng Qing's.

Her holiness and purity did not surpass Xuan Zhixue's.

But without a doubt, in Lin Ran's heart, she was the absolutely supreme one, whose status no one could shake!

"Revered Master..."

Lin Ran stepped forward and held Su Xiyue tightly in his arms, his body trembling slightly.

The only person in the world who could make him reveal such a side was likely Su Xiyue.

"Rebellious Disciple, in the time Revered Master was away, why have you grown so thin?"

"That's right, the heavy burdens of the world are on your shoulders; if you don't grow thin, who would?"

Su Xiyue's eyes reddened, and she looked at Lin Ran with a face full of heartache, reaching out to stroke the top of his head.

"Revered Master, disciple has never taken the great affairs of the world to heart; everything disciple has done is merely for myself, and for Revered Master."

"As long as Revered Master is by my side, that is enough."

Lin Ran's tone was slightly choked up.

Just a moment ago, he truly thought he was going to die.

After all, he was human, not a god.

Even with perfect planning, there will eventually be a slip; he could not calculate everything in this world.

He thought his Dao would end here, and he would never be able to see Su Xiyue again.

Fortunately, at the very last moment, Su Xiyue's arrival successfully saved the situation and stabilized it.

"You have already done very well; leave the rest to Revered Master."

"I will not let a single person who hurt or harmed you go!"

Su Xiyue's aura was domineering, and with a single sword strike, the Void Realm shattered, revealing the figure of the person who had just ambushed Lin Ran.

At this moment, this person had already been sliced into two halves by Su Xiyue's sword, their internal organs scattered all over the ground, their face full of disbelief.

"You..."

With just one sword strike, she killed him, a person with Heavenly Palace Realm Seventh Heaven cultivation; what exactly was the background of this suddenly appearing Su Xiyue!?

Why?

Why was a mere Lin Ran so difficult to kill?!

"So it was this."

Lin Ran beckoned with his right hand, grabbing the dark purple cloak that had fallen from the person's body; it was filled with a bizarre aura.

It must have been this cloak that evaded the detection of the Yin-Yang Innate Dao Eyes just now.

Otherwise, he would not have fallen into such a perilous situation just now.

"Eh? An item of the bizarre dao?! Rebellious Disciple, throw it away quickly!"

Su Xiyue was surprised at first, then hurriedly urged him.

Lin Ran was very obedient and hurriedly threw the cloak onto the ground.

"Revered Master, what is the bizarre dao?"

Lin Ran asked.

Su Xiyue shook her head: "The bizarre dao involves many things; after we return, Revered Master will explain it to you slowly."

"The urgent priority now is to quell the catastrophe of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty."

Lin Ran nodded slightly.

But in his heart, he was constantly pondering the bizarre dao.

Bizarre pure white petals, bizarre blood, a bizarre cloak.

It seems that everything at Heavenly God Mountain is connected to the bizarre dao.

Then, what exactly is the bizarre dao?!

Seeing this scene, cold sweat broke out on Li Junze, and his heart jumped into his throat.

The duration of the life-saving talisman was about to expire; he had less than half a minute left!

He must control the heaven burying sword within this short time of less than half a minute!
