Chapter 1586 - 1481: Three Great Experts Encircle and Attack

"You old bastard!"

Hearing the response from the Punishment Hall Elder, Daoist Shan Xu was so furious that his beard started trembling.

The Huashan Sect’s higher-ups, are they all such heartless beings, not even caring about their disciples?

Although he was complaining inwardly, Daoist Shan Xu dared not stop, accelerating his escape.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

From the horizon, two streaks of light approached — they were Lei Dingtian and Kong Denghui.

"Senior Brother! That’s the old ghost Shan Xu!"

Anger flashed in Kong Denghui’s eyes. In the past, he had suffered at the hands of Daoist Shan Xu, and the two had an old grudge.

However, when his gaze fell upon Qin Hao, who was in the hands of Daoist Shan Xu, he became surprised.

How did this little runt end up in Daoist Shan Xu’s hands?

Lei Dingtian’s face showed no expression as he shouted, "Do it!"

The opportunity to catch an old enemy isolated was a rare one; Lei Dingtian certainly didn’t want to miss it.

With his command, lightning surged from his body, and he pointed a finger at a distance.

In the sky, a dense dark cloud loomed over Daoist Shan Xu’s head.

Rumble, rumble!

Thunder exploded within the dark cloud, and more terrifying was the cloud tightly following Daoist Shan Xu, floating just above his head.

"You! Are you really abandoning this disciple to die?"

Daoist Shan Xu was nearly driven mad.

He was caught in this perilous situation, all because he hesitated for a few seconds due to indecision, and was then surrounded by Huashan Sect members — what a disaster!

Had he not mentioned this, but upon mentioning it, Kong Denghui gave a cold snort. Six rays of radiance appeared behind him, each containing destructive power.

Kong Denghui initially had thoughts of staying as a spectator, planning to strike last and take the heads.

With Daoist Shan Xu’s comment, he immediately recalled the enmity he had with Qin Hao.

Killing Daoist Shan Xu and taking the opportunity to eliminate a foe —

Why not?

"You really are shameless! This old ghost Shan Xu is clearly my prey!"

Li Tongtian wore a dissatisfied look, "I won’t let you kill my prey!"

Upon finishing his words, he licked his lips, eyes showing a hint of battle intent, with purple flames rising from his body.

"Purple Flame Heaven-Burning!"

As his words fell, the purple flames on his body transformed into a dragon of fire, burning towards Daoist Shan Xu’s back.

At the same time, Kong Denghui pointed a finger, and six rays of radiance shot out from behind, attacking Daoist Shan Xu.

"Descend!" Lei Dingtian let out a deep shout, and lightning from the cloud accompanied the strike.

At that moment, Daoist Shan Xu was attacked by three lethal moves. In the face of such a crisis, he was left inwardly lamenting.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have been entangled with this little brat!

Now, he truly resented Qin Hao; if Qin Hao hadn’t caused him to delay, he might have already escaped with ease instead of being surrounded by three top experts like this.

However, anger aside, Daoist Shan Xu had not lost his rationality.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Infinite Blood Shield!"

Upon saying this, with a bang, his entire being burst into a dance of blood.

The next moment, lightning, purple flame, and radiance converged there.

Boom!

Like an atomic bomb exploding.

The entire space trembled fiercely.

The airstream generated from the explosion lingered, severing the flowers, grass, and trees around.

This area seemed to become the center of a natural disaster.

Who knows how long it took for the airstream and smoke to disperse; the three floating high in the sky all looked extremely displeased.

At the center of the explosion, there was nothing!

Daoist Shan Xu had actually escaped!

"That old ghost actually got away!"

Li Tongtian showed a look of fury.

Lei Dingtian shook his head in disappointment. "That old ghost knew he was locked by us and had nowhere to escape, so he sacrificed ten years of lifespan using the Infinite Blood Shield Technique. There was nothing we could do."

"Heh, the old ghost was already on his last legs. Now with ten years of life lost, he poses no significant threat to us in the future." Kong Denghui was somewhat discontent because Daoist Shan Xu had escaped and taken Qin Hao with him.

"That old ghost!"

Li Tongtian gritted his teeth, cursing harshly. Quickly, he remembered Qin Hao’s existence and said in a deep voice, "The old ghost just took Qin Hao?"

"Correct." Lei Dingtian nodded lightly.

"Then..." Li Tongtian showed a hesitant look.

Lei Dingtian understood his meaning, calmly saying, "After all, he is Ji Xinhu’s disciple; we should still try to find him. But the Infinite Blood Shield creates a gap of a hundred miles each time it’s used, and we may not find him."

"Finding the body would be fine too." Kong Denghui thought gleefully.

It seemed that Daoist Shan Xu had deep-seated hatred for Qin Hao, so his death was almost a foregone conclusion.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In the distance, four more streaks of light approached, representing four high-ups from the Inner Sect.

Elder Yun Cai arrived with stains on her clothes, puzzled, "I was just in seclusion practicing alchemy, what happened?"

"The old ghost Shan Xu just appeared nearby!"

Kong Denghui explained briefly, his eyes falling on Ji Xinhu’s hands.

Within the arena, there were seven high-ups, but eight people were present.

The reason being, Ji Xinhu held someone in his hand.

Lei Xiuzhu.

Ji Xinhu said calmly, "I encountered Xiuzhu on the way, so I brought her along."

"Hmm." Lei Dingtian nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Lei Xiuzhu’s face with a hint of relief.

"Father! Is Chu Xi alright?"

With the gathering of bigwigs, Lei Xiuzhu initially felt very nervous, but after regaining calmness, she immediately asked.

"Chu Xi?" Lei Dingtian was puzzled at first, but quickly understood.

Wasn’t Qin Hao just wearing some kind of mask on his face earlier?

Once one has achieved the Unity Realm, one’s eyesight is remarkable, and personality masks have no effect.

Therefore, the high-ups could all clearly see that the ugly man was Qin Hao.

"Chu Xi he..." Since his daughter didn’t know that Chu Xi was Qin Hao, Lei Dingtian intended to keep it hidden: "He was taken away by Daoist Shan Xu."

"How could it be..." Lei Xiuzhu looked shocked, "Daoist Shan Xu, that demon, is so cruel... Chu Xi he..."

"It’s unlikely he’ll survive." Kong Denghui thought gleefully.

Hearing these words, Lei Xiuzhu seemed as if struck by lightning, her heart aching intensely, as though a piece was missing from it.

"Chu Xi is dead... the Chu Xi who saved me is dead..."

She repeated these words desolately in her heart. If she didn’t hold back forcefully, her tears would have fallen.

Only now did she realize the importance that ugly man held in her heart.

"Junior Brother Ji." At this time, Lei Dingtian’s gaze met with Ji Xinhu’s, and the two exchanged looks.

Ji Xinhu understood Lei Dingtian’s intent and got a rough idea of the situation.

"I understand." He said plainly, seemingly not saddened by the possible death of his disciple.

"Ah, Junior Brother Ji, you should also manage your grief over this matter." Li Tongtian rarely took on the role of comforting others. Now calm again, he felt it was a bit unnecessary; Qin Hao had notable potential, after all, and was worth saving.
