209: Chapter 209 Clash of Immortal Emperors: The Young Master's Defeat and Escape Sows Killing Intent

That withered, bony hand covered the sky and blocked the sun. Wherever it passed, space collapsed inch by inch, as if it wanted to drag the entire world back into Chaos.

When an Immortal Emperor rages, the heavens and earth change color!

This was a strike fueled by the fury of an Immortal Emperor!

Facing this palm strike that would make any Immortal King despair, Su Yun felt no fear at all; instead, a cold, eager glint flashed in his eyes.

He wanted to test exactly how big the gap was between his current strength and a true Immortal Emperor.

However, just as he was preparing to mobilize the Origin of Heavenly Dao to meet this strike head-on...

A roar, even more domineering and furious, exploded from the direction of the Xiao Family main hall!

"Old dog! You dare touch my Xiao Family's son-in-Law right in front of me? Do you think I am dead?!"

Boom!

Family Head took a step forward. The Nine-Dragon Golden Boots on his feet slammed down, directly shattering the Void Realm in front of him into a web of cracks!

His entire body transformed into a golden stream of light, appearing instantly before Su Yun.

Without any flashy movements, he simply threw a punch!

"Roar—!"

As the punch was thrown, a Dragon roared!

Nine golden giant Dragons, condensed from pure Immortal Emperor Law, roared out from his fist.

They converged into an unstoppable torrent, meeting that withered, descending hand!

"Rumble—!"

Fist and palm collided!

The entire world seemed to lose its sound and color at that moment.

Only a blinding white light exploded in mid-air!

A terrifying energy storm, like a category twelve tsunami, swept frantically in all directions!

The Xiao Family Divine Mountain's incredibly sturdy Mountain-Protecting Formation flickered violently under the impact of this energy storm.

It emitted an unbearable "crack, crack" sound, as if it might shatter at any moment.

The people on the square were blown about by the shockwaves; those with weaker cultivation were even knocked unconscious.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

In the center of the energy storm, an aged figure stumbled out from the torn Void Realm, staggering back hundreds of feet before barely steadying himself.

It was an old man in a gray robe, with a withered face and sinister eyes.

He was Ye Wuhun's protector, a Grand Elder of Tianshu Palace, a long-renowned Immortal Emperor!

At this moment, the arm he had used to clash with Family Head was trembling uncontrollably.

A deep wound, visible to the bone, had split open at the web between his thumb and index finger, and golden Immortal Emperor blood was dripping down.

He looked at Family Head, who was also floating in the air but appeared calm and composed, with a face full of shock and uncertainty. A stormy sea raged in his heart!

How is this possible?!

Wasn't Family Head injured in the Origin during a battle with the Lord of the Abyssal Palace hundreds of years ago, causing his cultivation to regress, with no hope of further progress in this life?

But that punch just now...

That fierce, domineering Fist Intent, which even faintly carried a trace of perfection, didn't look like the work of someone with a damaged Origin at all.

Not only that, he could even feel that Family Head's cultivation hadn't regressed; instead... it had advanced further!

He had faintly touched the threshold of the Middle Stage Immortal Emperor!

What on earth is going on?!

The old man could not figure it out.

Naturally, he wouldn't know that all of this was because of Su Yun.

In these three months, Su Yun, through Zi Yun, had secretly given a portion of the Heaven And Earth Treasure he had "plucked" from the Xiao Family treasury, which were of little use to him, to Family Head.

Although those treasures, although they could not enter Su Yun's Dharma Eye, for an Immortal Emperor like Family Head whose Origin was damaged, they were supreme divine medicines for healing and life-extension!

With one's strength waning and the other's waxing, how could he still be Family Head's opponent?

"Hmph! Tianshu Palace, what great prestige!"

Family Head forced the old man back with a punch; pressing his advantage, he stared coldly at his opponent.

"The young one gets beaten, so the old one comes out."

"What, is your Tianshu Palace unable to accept defeat?!"

His words were sharp enough to pierce the heart, causing the old man's face to turn shades of green and white.

He glanced down at the person who had been trampled under Su Yun's feet, with more air going out than coming in.

Ye Wuhun, who looked like a dead dog, then looked at the imposing, Battle Intent-soaring Family Head opposite him.

He knew that today, it was impossible to gain any advantage here.

If he continued to fight, let alone saving the Young Lord, even he himself might perish here!

"Fine! Family Head, you are very good!"

The old man gritted his teeth, squeezing a few words through them.

"Tianshu Palace will remember this debt today!"

After saying this, he flicked his finger, and a Storage Ring landed in front of Family Head.

"Inside is the compensation! Release our Young Lord!"

This was undoubtedly equivalent to admitting defeat in public.

Family Head snorted coldly, accepted the Storage Ring, and after a sweep with his Divine Thought, a look of satisfaction finally appeared on his face.

He turned his head and gave Su Yun an inquiring look.

The meaning in his eyes was clear: Son-in-Law, what do you think? Should we just let this matter rest?

Seeing this, Su Yun chuckled inwardly.

This father-in-Law was quite quick on the uptake.

He didn't intend to kill Ye Wuhun right now.

It was a pity to kill a pig that had been fattened up.

It was better to wait until he returned to Tianshu Palace and marked the location of the entire pigsty before slaughtering them all together; that would be worth it.

He slowly lifted his foot, releasing the dying Ye Wuhun.

The protector old man saw this, flashed, and immediately appeared on the arena.

He scooped up the limp Ye Wuhun, didn't even look at anyone else, and turned to tear open the Void Realm and leave.

However, just as he was about to step into the spatial rift.

The unconscious Ye Wuhun in his arms suddenly, with great difficulty, opened a slit of his eye.

His one eye that hadn't been smashed stared intensely, intensely, at the gray-clothed figure standing with hands behind his back on the arena.

His eyes were filled with endless malice, hatred, and madness!

He, Ye Wuhun, the top Prodigy of the Upper Realm, had never suffered such humiliation before?!

Su Yun!

This name was already carved into his bones and branded deep into his Divine Soul!

He made the most vicious oath in his heart.

When he returned, he would definitely report this to the Palace Master!

He would mobilize the full power of Tianshu Palace!

He would launch a Sect holy war!

He would make the entire Xiao Family pay for the humiliation he suffered today!

He would tear that man named Su Yun into ten thousand pieces and destroy his Divine Soul completely!

...

As the black-armored immortal army of Tianshu Palace retreated in a disheveled manner.

A crisis that could have overturned the fate of the Xiao Family was thus resolved.

The entire White Marble Square was first silent as death, and then, a tsunami of cheers erupted!

"Son-in-Law Su Yun is mighty!"

"Family Head is mighty!"

"Long live the Xiao Family!"

The gazes of all the Xiao Family disciples toward Su Yun had completely changed.

From initial disdain, to later shock, and now to... awe as if he were a god!

However, just as this grand competition had just come to an end.

A strange change occurred again!

A golden light, ancient, simple, and exuding an Aura of endless vicissitudes.

Suddenly shot up into the sky from the deepest part of the Xiao Family Divine Mountain, from the area listed as a Forbidden Ground!

The golden light transformed into an ancient decree in mid-air, ignoring space, and hovered directly above the heads of Su Yun and Zi Yun.

An aged, yet supremely dignified voice resonated simultaneously in both of their minds.

"Nickname, bring this child to see me."
