194: Group fight

“Sun Wuji! Is that all you’ve got? With your strength, it won’t be easy to take me down!”

“Stop your yelling! You’re practically being beaten down by me, and you’re still yapping?”

The two fought inextricably. Among the five Hall Masters of Haoyue Sect, excluding Zhan Wu Hall, their strengths were not too far apart.

“Emperor-level battles are truly spectacular! Just watching for a few moments has given me many insights!”

Although the two had higher attainments in Artifact Refining and array Formations, it didn't mean they couldn't fight.

Before becoming preeminent in those fields, they had also fought their way out of a sea of corpses.

They were already extremely proficient in the application of the Great Dao and various combat techniques.

Under the protection of Lin Wan’er’s talismans, Su Xuan quietly observed the battle between the two. This space had long been sealed off.

“Master… they’ve been fighting for who knows how long. Why don’t you take this opportunity to help me…”

Lin Wan’er looked at Su Xuan with tender affection. Without her needing to say more, Su Xuan already knew what she wanted to express.

“It seems you really want to get rid of the poison! Two Great Emperors are fighting fiercely over there! You want me to help you dispel the poison here? Aren’t you a bit too audacious?”

Su Xuan wore a mischievous smile. But truthfully, if he could actually pull this off, it would indeed be quite an experience.

Of course, Su Xuan was thinking more deeply. For Sun Wuji to suppress Zhou Yichen, even if he eventually won, who knew how much time would have passed.

Therefore, he might as well spend some time helping Lin Wan’er strengthen her power again. In that case, it would be a three-on-one fight, and no matter how powerful Zhou Yichen was, he wouldn’t last long.

Just like that, Sun Wuji and Zhou Yichen fought for over an hour, and the result remained an inextricable stalemate.

“Mmm… my strength… has finally recovered somewhat!”

Lin Wan’er swallowed, feeling her strength returning, and was instantly delighted.

She looked at Su Xuan, unsure what to say. For some reason, she seemed to be slowly growing fond of this feeling.

“How could I, a dignified Great Emperor… be such a harlot?”

“Everything I’m doing now is merely to detoxify myself!”

Lin Wan’er continuously brainwashed herself internally.

Even if she were to bash her head against a wall and die, she wouldn’t fall for Su Xuan. She was merely caught with a handle now…

Once the time was right, she would get rid of Su Xuan, and then she would still be that formidable Hall Master!

Although Lin Wan’er was deceiving herself, the System's favorability prompts couldn't lie.

Now, Lin Wan’er’s favorability towards him had reached 30, a significant increase from before.

“How is your strength recovering?”

“Although it’s not yet at its Peak, I can still exert the strength of an average Great Emperor!”

Lin Wan’er said.

She was a Talisman Master and had a pile of tormenting gadgets, but activating them required a large amount of spiritual energy.

Now, her strength had recovered to about one-tenth of her former self, enough to activate them.

“In that case, let’s quickly take down Zhou Yichen!”

Su Xuan said.

“What? You’re going to join in too? Are you crazy?”

Hearing this, Lin Wan’er immediately became anxious. With Su Xuan's strength, going up against Zhou Yichen would be like sending him to his death, wouldn't it?

Although fighting wasn't Zhou Yichen's absolute strongest suit, he was still a Great Emperor! Why would Su Xuan, a mere Supreme, get involved?

“What? Are you concerned about me, Hall Master Lin?”

Su Xuan had a mischievous smile.

“How could that be… I’m just afraid that if you die, then no one will be able to cure my poison, right?”

Lin Wan’er’s explanation was very strained.

“Don’t worry, my strength isn’t that weak!”

Under Lin Wan’er’s astonished gaze, Su Xuan suddenly erupted with strength comparable to a Great Emperor.

“Such terrifying aura… Is this Su Xuan? He actually hid his strength so deeply?”

Lin Wan’er was incredibly surprised. She hadn’t expected Su Xuan to be able to unleash Great Emperor-level strength!

Moreover, from the look of his strength, it wasn’t weak!

“Damn it! You guys are dishonorable! Three against one!”

As Su Xuan and Lin Wan’er joined the battle, no matter how fiercely Zhou Yichen resisted, it was futile.

Eventually, after struggling for a while, Zhou Yichen was finally taken down.

“I surrender! I surrender! Don’t kill me!”

“Hall Master Lin! Young Master Su, Hall Master Sun, I kneel before you! I was blind before!”

“And Hall Master Lin, the plot to poison you was all my son Zhou Chen’s doing! If you have any grievances, go find him!”

Zhou Yichen was beaten black and blue, completely losing his former imposing demeanor.

He never dreamed that three Great Emperors would be ambushed in this small courtyard!

“Father! How could you do this! I’m your own son, your only one for so many years!”

Zhou Chen also woke up. As soon as he regained consciousness, he saw his father being pinned to the ground and brutally beaten by three people.

After being beaten, his own father just outright sold him out! Was this still his father?

“Get lost! I don’t have an unfilial son like you! You’ve really messed me up!”

“Of all people to offend, you dared to offend Young Master Su? Didn’t you know Hall Master Lin is Young Master Su’s woman?”

“How many times did I warn you then! Why wouldn’t you listen?”

Zhou Yichen rolled up his sleeves, grabbed Zhou Chen, and gave him a brutal beating. The latter was also quickly beaten black and blue, looking inhuman.

If Su Xuan hadn’t said anything, he would have even wanted to kill Zhou Chen himself.

“Young Master Su, Hall Master Lin, Hall Master Sun, please just let me go like a fart!”

“No matter what, I am still a Hall Master. If you kill me, Haoyue Sect will lose a Great Emperor, and it wouldn’t be good if we were swallowed by other forces!”

Zhou Yichen tried to persuade them with reason and emotion.

Seeing Zhou Yichen in such a humble state, Su Xuan was immediately amused. A dignified Great Emperor being so humble was truly rare.

But then again, one only lives once, and once gone, one is gone. The higher the cultivation, the more one cherishes life.

In the face of death, these things mean nothing.

Moreover, Su Xuan never intended to kill Zhou Yichen. This person had very high attainments in Artifact Refining, and Su Xuan kept him for a great purpose!

“Alright, Hall Master Zhou, you don’t have to be like this. Look at you, do you still look like a Great Emperor?”

Su Xuan chuckled.

“What are you saying, what is this! Young Master Su! You’re flattering me too much, I’m nothing but a fart in front of you!”

Zhou Yichen thought Su Xuan was going to kill him, and his attitude immediately became even more humble.
