245: Four-way Battle

Song Yanran’s words, every single one, were piercing, causing Yu Xiyan’s face to instantly darken to the point of dripping water.

"Enough! For so many years, you still put on airs of a superior and lectured me time and again.

Song Yanran, you think you're so clean, but in fact, your heart is even dirtier than I see.

I don't see any difference between an Empress who steals another's husband and those shrewish women who destroy other people's relationships.

Don't look at me with that gaze. What I hate most is that condescending look of yours, as if you see through everything.

You and Mu Qiuyuan are essentially no different; both of you used despicable methods to snatch Shen Zhao from my side.

Shen Zhao and I had some problems in our relationship, but what problem between husband and wife can't be resolved?

Why, why did all of you have to use such vile methods when Shen Zhao and I were having a conflict?

Are all the men in the world dead? Why snatch someone else's man, and why must it be my, Yu Xiyan's, man!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yanran glanced sideways at Mu Qiuyuan.

Mu Qiuyuan sighed lightly and shook her head, "She's still the same, completely unchanged after tens of thousands of years. There's no saving her."

Song Yanran: "I finally understand why Shen Zhao was unwilling to accept her."

Mu Qiuyuan pursed her lips and smiled, "Didn't you already know?"

Song Yanran: "No need to say more. Let's first consider how to break through today. With our current cultivation, we are definitely no match for this madwoman."

Mu Qiuyuan: "It's really a bit unfair, isn't it? Why is it that she suffered the least damage from the Void Annihilation, even though everyone else was affected?"

"Great Dao Origin," Song Yanran directly stated the reason. "The Blood Linglong on her forehead is a drop of her husband's essence blood that she stained when she killed him back then. Therefore, when the heaven and earth Law are imbalanced,

it can block most calamities. That drop of essence blood was transformed from her husband's purest Dao Source. One can only say her luck is truly excellent."

Mu Qiuyuan smiled faintly, "Is that so? Then after I find Zhaozhao, I'll have to drain him dry. I want that pure Origin too."

Song Yanran: "Let's get through this tribulation first."

The two women were already prepared to break out. Even though they knew there was a world of difference between their current strength and Yu Xiyan's, they would never surrender.

Seeing the two women in a battle-ready stance, Yu Xiyan lightly moved her jade fingers, and Dao Rhyme gathered out of thin air, forming a divine blade—bright phoenix splendor.

"It seems you are unwilling to commit suicide to atone for your sins. Then I can only use this bright phoenix splendor to send you on your final journey."

Just as Yu Xiyan was about to make a Move, Meng Xingchen spoke.

"Fellow Daoist, you have ravaged my Liuli Holy Land beyond recognition. Shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?"

Yu Xiyan heard this, glanced sideways at him, "What are you? Do you even deserve to demand an explanation from me? I can slaughter you like an ant. Kneel before me, pledge allegiance to the Yintian Imperial Dynasty, and I might spare your dog life."

Meng Xingchen clenched his fists, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Since Fellow Daoist is so unreasonable, then as the Realm Lord of the Glazed Immortal Realm, I must seek justice from you for the destruction of the Immortal Realm!"

As his voice fell, Meng Xingchen's primordial energy surged into the sky.

"Annoying ant, truly ignorant of cherishing your life!"

Yu Xiyan's eyes were cold, intending to deal with Meng Xingchen first, then kill Song Yanran and Mu Qiuyuan.

But at this moment, Shen Lian's voice rang in her ear.

"Dare to interrupt Shen Lian's duel, do you know what kind of price you will pay!"

Shen Lian stepped forward, raising a finger at Yu Xiyan.

"Since you broke this balance, you should bear the consequences."

Yu Xiyan looked back at Shen Lian, her slightly closed eyes cold and merciless: "What are you? How dare you speak disrespectfully to me? Are all the arrogant people in this realm so careless with their lives!"

"Hahahaha!"

Facing such extreme oppressive power, Shen Lian not only did not retreat but instead ignited a strong Battle Intent.

"The path of cultivation, isn't it about gambling with one's life? Those who cherish their lives are destined to achieve nothing."

Yu Xiyan smiled, "What an ignorant and arrogant madman, what a good saying 'those who cherish their lives achieve nothing.' It's a pity, does your generous speech match your strength?"

Shen Lian put one hand behind his back and turned around angrily: "The more insurmountable a mountain, the more it makes Shen Lian interested in trampling it underfoot.

From the moment you interrupted my duel with that trash, a never-ending entanglement between you and me was destined. Are you ready to face Shen Lian's wrath?"

Yu Xiyan shook her head, "Ignorant madman, you also dare to speak of never-ending entanglement with me. A mere Limit-Breaking Realm cultivation thinks it can shake the heavens, truly laughable and pathetic."

Shen Lian turned back, and the cold wind instantly swept up his shoulder-length hair: "If one cannot shake the heavens, how can one be called undefeated? Today, I will use your defeat to once again prove Shen Lian's victorious demeanor."

"Hmm?"

Yu Xiyan's jade brows furrowed slightly.

Just then, Mu Qiuyuan suddenly spoke, "Kid, let's team up now and subdue this madwoman first."

This sentence instantly filled Yu Xiyan's pupils with murderous intent: "You are together?"

Shen Lian, however, directly interrupted Mu Qiuyuan: "Shut up, Shen Lian disdains teaming up with anyone. Your grievances have nothing to do with me."

Mu Qiuyuan was stunned: "Why are you so unreasonable? Now is..."

"Enough!"

Yu Xiyan cut off Mu Qiuyuan directly.

"I don't care what your relationship is now. Since you're all here, then come at me together. I..."

The bright phoenix splendor flashed with imperial light, and a chilling killing intent surged forth.

"One person is enough to deal with all of you."

A strong cold wind swept across, clearing away the shattered walls and ruins of Liuli.

The four forces standing there, each with their own thoughts, created a suffocating atmosphere that made the Nine Heavens lose their color.

As their cold eyes met, Shen Lian, Mu Qiuyuan, Song Yanran, and Meng Xingchen surprisingly reached a subtle consensus.

"Attack!"

Song Yanran decisively manifested the Ancestral Dragon Emperor Qi and immediately launched a preemptive strike.

"Imperial Extreme Heaven's Might · Imperial Law Heavenly Authority!"

Mu Qiuyuan followed closely.

"Profound Yellow Sacred Radiance · Purple Brilliance Pervades the Cosmos."

Meng Xingchen immediately made his Move.

"Dao Law Heavenly Suppression."

At the same time, Shen Lian also raised his hand and conjured a Move.

"Void Concealment · Heaven and Earth One Qi."

The four ultimate Moves, with an unspoken understanding, simultaneously blasted towards Yu Xiyan, who stood in the center.

Facing this four-stream combined Move, capable of destroying heaven and earth, Yu Xiyan's expression remained unchanged, completely unaffected.

Just as the ultimate Move approached her.

"Heaven-Absorbing Divine Art · Thousand Rivers Converge into the Sea."

Yu Xiyan instantly leaped into the Void Realm, and with the Heaven-Absorbing Divine Art, she absorbed all four combined Moves into her body.

"Break!"

The next moment, the absorbed Moves transformed into her own primordial energy, and Yu Xiyan directly blasted out a palm, aimed straight at... Shen Lian!

"Huh?"

Shen Lian's expression changed. Unexpectedly, Yu Xiyan had such a sudden change in Move. He decisively activated his Indestructible Dao Body, merging it with the heaven and earth root within his body, and executed a transforming stance.

However, the immense primordial energy surpassed the limit of his Foundation.

The instant he received the Move—

Boom—

"Ugh ah~"

A massive explosion, and heaven and earth lost their color.

A mournful cry, and the madman's body was instantly sent flying a hundred zhang away.

"Do you know why I wanted you out first?"

After the ultimate Move, Yu Xiyan coldly spoke towards the direction where Shen Lian disappeared.

"Because you are not worthy of sharing the same surname as Shen Zhao!"
