Earth Immortal Realm, ancient battlefield.
The battle between Yue Qingning and others, and Can Xu had reached its climax.
The vast ancient battlefield had turned into shattered void. If not for the barrier surrounding the ancient battlefield sealing the power within, the entire domain universe might have collapsed!
"Hahaha! You bunch of trash, even if you attack together, you're no match for me!"
Can Xu sneered, his arrogant voice echoing around the ancient battlefield. Yue Qingning and the other three were struggling to resist Can Xu's attacks, suffering greatly.
"Damn it, how did Can Xu's strength recover so much? Even with the four of us working together, we're completely outmatched!" Tai Yuan struggled to fend off Can Xu's attack, his expression extremely grim.
He hadn't expected Can Xu to be this strong!
Yue Qingning comforted him, "Don't rush, we just need to withstand Can Xu's attacks. Once Ye Ling finishes off Can Huang, he'll naturally come to help us!"
Huang also had a grim expression, saying coldly, "Ye Ling will come to help us? The four of us working together are barely able to resist Can Xu's attacks, and Ye Ling is alone over there. Can he really defeat Can Huang?"
Before fighting the Can Xie twins, Huang had thought they had a chance of winning, but now… Huang had deeply felt Can Xu's power!
This was simply not someone they could defeat at their current stage!
Seeing that Huang was already considering retreating, Li Xiaomei immediately said, "Huang, let's retreat. Can Xu is so strong, Can Huang must be no weaker. Ye Ling is definitely dead. We don't need to risk our lives here!"
Seeing Li Xiaomei and Huang about to retreat, Tai Yuan also lost interest. "If you're going to flee, then I'm out too. This domain universe has nothing to do with me. Why should I fight to the death with the Can Xie clan? You guys have fun!"
Seeing that Huang and Tai Yuan were both having second thoughts, Yue Qingning couldn't help but show a hint of panic in her eyes. She quickly said, "Don't you forget, you all signed blood pacts with Ye Ling. If you retreat now, aren't you afraid of backlash from inner demons?"
Tai Yuan snorted, "Can Xu is so strong, Can Huang can't be much weaker. Ye Ling is definitely dead. He couldn't kill Can Huang in time, which means he violated the blood pact first. Our retreat is unavoidable!"
Saying that, Tai Yuan quickly broke free from Can Xu's entanglement and fled into the distance.
Huang and Li Xiaomei exchanged glances and also retreated. The two of them joined forces to summon a bronze gate, preparing to escape through it.
As Tai Yuan and the others withdrew from the battle, the pressure instantly fell upon Yue Qingning alone.
Can Xu glanced at the fleeing Tai Yuan and the others, paused his attack, and smiled at Yue Qingning, "It seems your alliance isn't very strong. Originally, if you united, it would have been more troublesome for me to deal with you, but now… you've given me the opportunity to defeat you one by one."
As soon as Can Xu finished speaking, he instantly appeared before Yue Qingning and struck her with his palm!
Bang!
Yue Qingning didn't even see Can Xu's movement clearly before she was heavily struck. She flew out like a cannonball, smashing heavily against the barrier, causing ripples to spread across the vast barrier!
"Cough!!!"
Yue Qingning spat out a mouthful of blood. Her internal organs were shattered, and her face was extremely pale.
After delivering the palm strike, Can Xu did not pursue. He smiled at Yue Qingning, "To reward you for continuing to fight me, I've decided to save your life for last. Be grateful for my mercy."
"Pah!"
Yue Qingning weakly spat a mouthful of blood at Can Xu and said coldly, "If you don't kill me now, you'll regret it sooner or later!"
Can Xu laughed, "Then I'll just have to see what I regret later!"
With that, Can Xu raised his hand, and several black spikes materialized out of thin air, piercing Yue Qingning's limbs and pinning her to the barrier!
"Ahhhhhh!"
As the spikes entered her body, intense pain continuously stimulated Yue Qingning's nerves, causing her to cry out.
Huang, who was preparing to break through the barrier and escape, saw Yue Qingning's miserable state and felt his scalp tingle. Fearing he would become Can Xu's next target, he quickly attacked the barrier, attempting to escape from it.
However, before Tai Yuan could even attack the barrier, Can Xu, with a smile on his lips, instantly appeared behind him, enveloped in black energy.
Sensing the terrifying aura from behind him, a chill shot from the soles of Tai Yuan's feet to the top of his head. He ignored breaking the barrier and dared not look behind him, fleeing into the distance in a panic!
"Where do you think you're going?"
Can Xu looked at Tai Yuan's fleeing back, sneered, and swung a claw through the void!
Chii!
Five extremely deep claw marks appeared on Tai Yuan's back. Strange black energy attached itself to the wounds on his back, rapidly invading his body!
In an instant, Tai Yuan felt a bone-chilling coldness invade his body, eroding his soul.
Tai Yuan could not resist the bone-chilling coldness at all. His eyes went black, and he immediately lost consciousness.
Soon, the only ones left active on the field were Huang and Li Xiaomei.
Seeing Can Xu's gaze fall upon them, Huang couldn't help but tremble and quickly asked Li Xiaomei, "Xiaomei, how much longer until we can return to the Time Ruins?"
Li Xiaomei quickly replied, "Five more seconds!"
"Five seconds? That's too long…"
Upon hearing Li Xiaomei's words, Huang looked at Can Xu again, fine beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
For him to resist Can Xu alone for five seconds was almost like asking for his life!
"Damn it… I have no choice but to fight…"
Knowing he couldn't escape, Huang quickly made up his mind, charging towards Can Xu and transmitting to Li Xiaomei, "Xiaomei, take my reincarnation information and escape from here. I'll use my life to clear the way for you!"
"Huang!"
Li Xiaomei's eyes turned red seeing Huang charge towards Can Xu for her, but she also knew she couldn't change anything. She could only speed up the construction of the bronze gate, not wasting the opportunity Huang was sacrificing his life to create for her!
In an instant, Huang arrived before Can Xu and began to burn his life essence, attempting to self-destruct!
"A moth to a flame."
Can Xu watched Huang charge at him, a flicker of amusement in his eyes. He clenched his fist in the void.
Thump thump!
Huang's heart pounded twice, and then he felt an invisible hand pass through his chest and grasp his heart.
The next moment, blood flowed from the corner of Huang's mouth, and his soul was heavily struck!
His life essence, which had just ignited, was extinguished at this moment!
"Huang!!!"
Li Xiaomei's eyes turned red seeing Huang being struck, and she was about to rush forward to rescue him!
"Don't mind me! Hurry and escape!" Huang shouted sternly, his heart-wrenching voice instantly waking Li Xiaomei's soul!
Li Xiaomei came to her senses, immediately abandoning the idea of rescuing Huang, and reopened the bronze gate, constructing a passage to the Time Ruins.
Can Xu saw Li Xiaomei trying to escape, a playful smile on his lips, "I told you, none of you will get away today!"
As his voice fell, Can Xu transformed into a beam of light and passed through Huang, tearing him in half, and rushed towards Li Xiaomei.
Before Li Xiaomei could enter the bronze gate after its successful construction, Can Xu was already behind her, raising his claws to grab her.
"Die!!!"
Can Xu grinned menacingly, black energy surging in his palm, causing the surrounding space to collapse!
Li Xiaomei's limbs were suppressed by Can Xu's aura, and she was unable to move, only able to watch as Can Xu attacked!
However, at this critical moment, Can Xu's claw was caught by a bloody hand.
Can Xu was stunned and looked back, only to see Huang, whose body was only half intact, tightly gripping his wrist.
"Huang?" Li Xiaomei's eyes immediately turned red as she saw Huang saving her life again.
Huang weakly said, "Go quickly… remember to return to the Time Ruins!"
With that, the other half of Huang's body flew through the air and slammed into Li Xiaomei, pushing her into the bronze gate!
The bronze gate quickly closed and vanished.
Li Xiaomei had escaped the barrier!
Seeing Li Xiaomei escape, Can Xu's expression instantly turned ferocious. He glared at Huang, who was gripping his wrist, and said sternly, "A mere ant dares to obstruct me?"
Boom!
Can Xu's violent aura erupted, instantly turning the remaining half of Huang's body into dust!
Huang, with only half his body remaining, no longer retreated. He directly opened his half-open mouth and bit Can Xu, frantically channeling his remaining life essence and roaring, "Scum, even if I die today, I won't let you have it easy!"
Bang!!!
Huang's body suddenly exploded, the surging flames engulfing the entire barrier.
The surging flames consumed everything!
After an unknown amount of time, the dust from Huang's self-destruction slowly dissipated.
Yue Qingning, pinned to the edge of the barrier, stared intently at the center of the explosion, wanting to know what impact Huang's explosion had on Can Xu.
Huang, after all, had the strength to kill Shi Di Gamma. His self-destruction now was enough to shatter any supreme being!
Even if Can Xu was now a Heavenly Void Emperor, he would definitely not be unharmed by taking such a close-range self-destruction from Huang.
However…
As the dust slowly cleared, Can Xu stood alone in the void, completely unharmed, while Huang's figure had disappeared.
Huang's self-destruction…
Had no effect on Can Xu whatsoever!
"This!!!"
Seeing the unharmed Can Xu, Yue Qingning's pupils contracted sharply, and endless fear surged into her eyes!
Why was Can Xu so strong?
Yue Qingning was despairing.
Can Xu patted the dust off himself and spat contemptuously, "Damn ant, you almost ruined my clothes… how annoying!"
Saying that, Can Xu looked at Yue Qingning, who was still pinned to the edge of the barrier, and smiled, "Beauty, now you're the only one left… tell me, how do you want to die?"
"You won't make me yield!"
Yue Qingning stared fiercely at Can Xu, gritting her teeth, and frantically channeled the spiritual energy within her body, trying to break free from Can Xu's seal.
Even though she knew she was no match for him, she still wanted to struggle!
"Still want to struggle? I like your spirit!"
Seeing Yue Qingning still wanting to struggle, Can Xu's eyes filled with even more amusement. He instantly appeared before Yue Qingning and reached out to grab her neck.
However, just as Can Xu's hand was about to touch Yue Qingning's neck, a fair and well-boned hand emerged from the void and firmly grasped Can Xu's wrist.
Can Xu was stunned and turned to look, only to see Ye Ling walking out of the shattered void, his pupils contracting sharply!
"Ye Ling? How could it be you?"
Ye Ling, holding Can Xu's wrist, glanced at the messy battlefield and then smiled at Can Xu, "You're having quite a good time, aren't you!"
Can Xu said sternly, "What did you do to Can Huang?"
"You mean Can Huang?"
Ye Ling chuckled, grabbed the void with his left hand, and Can Huang's head fell out. "I killed him."
Seeing Can Huang's head, Can Xu's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock, "Brother!!!"
