Obliteration! Xun Tian Possesses Li Si'ang!

Boom! A streak of blood-red sword light flashed and vanished between heaven and earth. In that instant, heaven and earth lost all color. The entire sky over the Daochan Domain turned as dark as night, leaving only that single fleeting gleam of bloody light! Xun Tian's pupils constricted violently, trembling and shaking out of focus, his pale face filled with sheer panic. A pitch-black armor of nether-glow manifested around him. Xun Tian drove his sword straight through his heart, sending his heart's blood spraying outward. "Nine Nether Armor!" Violent power erupted from the void, and a flickering soul lamp pulsed with erratic light. Boom! A terrifying sword light slashed horizontally across. The pinnacle of power Xun Tian unleashed was instantly swept away and shattered like dry weeds before the gale! This single strike tore through the domain and shattered the void, carving a terrifying rift hundreds of li long across the Daochan Domain. And this strike... Ling Tianchen's expression shifted drastically. Teleporting away from where he stood, he formed hand seals and pressed them down violently beneath him! "Suppress!" His white hair whipped wildly as an inexplicable force pierced through the void, heading straight for the old man! In merely a single instant, the old man's hands were severed clean at the wrists! The bloody light slammed into his chest, carving three inches deep and nearly shearing him in two beneath the shoulders! Ling Tianchen slumped in the void, gasping for breath in huge, ragged heaves. Ten thousand years... Ten whole thousand years... That single moment just now had been the closest he had ever come to death! The domain had been extinguished—where could there be any trace of Xun Tian left? His physical body had been reduced to a haze of bloody mist, his soul shattered and blown apart. Yet just as the sword spirit moved to strike again, Li Guanqi's body swayed, and he tumbled straight down... Gu Li roared, "No! It's the Soul Guiding Lamp! Xun Tian still has a wisp of soul left!" Regaining consciousness, Li Guanqi murmured feebly with the last shred of his strength: "Can't... let him... run..." Ye Feng suddenly felt a chill shoot straight up his spine to the crown of his head! "The Soul Guiding Lamp!" "Damn it... Li Si'ang!" "Quick! Stop him!" At that very moment, several immense, overpowering auras instantly appeared outside the shattered domain! Four terrifying pressures shook heaven and earth, instantly freezing Meng Jiangchu and the others in place, unable to move a muscle! A familiar figure was the first to appear, his rampaging power pinning everyone on the spot. In a flash, Wen Guyan hoisted Li Guanqi onto his shoulder, his brow furrowing deeply as he closed his eyes to examine him. "Just what kind of power did he endure to shatter the meridians of such a physique into this state?" The other three stood a thousand zhang away, surrounded by utterly terrifying pressures, cloaked within swirling mists without revealing their true faces. Ye Feng cast all etiquette and deference aside, speaking with rapid urgency: "Xun Tian isn't dead! A sliver of his soul escaped! Quick!" "He must be killed, or he'll become a disaster!" Wen Guyan sighed and said somewhat helplessly, "He fled using a powerful soul armament, along with the Soul Guiding Lamp." "At this point... he can no longer be tracked." At those words, Ye Feng's face turned stark white, and his eyes glazed over as he murmured: "It's over..." Only now did Ye Feng finally realize what Li Si'ang was. He... was merely a vessel! Youming and Lu Tian had naively believed Li Si'ang was just a pawn to seek revenge on Li Guanqi... In truth, this was Xun Tian's hidden trump card! Even as a remnant soul, he was by no means someone that youth could resist. From start to finish... Li Si'ang had been the vessel Xun Tian prepared for himself! With things having come to this, everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Cao Yan and the others rose and bowed, saying, "Junior pays respects to the Four Kings." From within a white rainbow not far away came a man's deep voice: "Old Wen, you bungled this. Just wait until we get back—see if I don't beat you to death." At this moment, a tiny spark of spiritual light from an inscribed talisman was still burning on the hem of Wen Guyan's robe. The corner of Wen Guyan's mouth twitched. "Why beat me? How could I have known..." Sighing, Wen Guyan frowned and said in a grave voice, "Let's go. Take everyone back." Now, the celestial anomalies dispersed, returning to peace. Only that terrifying chasm stretching hundreds of li across the firmament remained, unable to heal for a long time. From within crimson flames, a woman's voice sounded, speaking softly: "I'll erase it." Wen Guyan nodded and said gently, "Ruxue, I'll leave the rift to you." "Old Bai... ah... set aside the beating for now. Let's go and bring the others back." "A-Yue, I leave suppressing the space here to you." "These kids are badly hurt; we need to hurry back." The icy, exquisite face of Bie Ruxue flickered faintly amidst the flames. She gave a slight nod, stepped forward, and vanished from the spot. The Tiger King, Bai Su. A look of solemnity crossed his resolute face. With a wave of his hand, he swept away the suppressed Qin Xiao, Meng Jiangchu, and the others. Finally, there was the Xuan King, Xuan Yue. The man was a person of few words. He exchanged a glance with Wen Guyan, then vanished in a flash. Surging divine sense spread outward, confirming repeatedly that no one else had discovered what happened here. Fortunately, Xun Tian's domain had been sealed tightly earlier, and the sword spirit's aura had erupted solely within the domain. Only for that reason had it escaped the notice of cultivators outside. After all, the moment the four arrived, they had already suppressed the surrounding space. For outside cultivators to enter would have been nothing short of a pipedream. As the terrifying rift faded away, the group quietly departed the Daochan Domain. From this day forth, Xun Tian, Domain Master of the Daochan Domain, became the second Domain Master to vanish following the death of Zhang Qixuan. No one knew where Xun Tian was, nor did anyone know whether he was dead or alive. Yet after today, quite a few formidable experts had disappeared. In the Qin Imperial City, the clan elders were frightened half to death. After all, their Clan Master and imperial scion had both vanished without a trace, impossible to contact. Anyone would panic in their shoes... In the Shenbao Domain, within the Meng Clan Domain. Li Guilian's face rarely bore both nobility and a touch of ruthlessness. Facing the ulterior motives of the clan elders, the matron appeared completely composed. "It doesn't matter what you want to do; I can't stop you anyway." "However..." "I hope that before you do anything, you think first... Think about whether you can withstand Old Meng's fury!" Suddenly! Meng Wanshu's icy voice rang out from behind the woman. The young woman walked slowly forward on her own, and in an instant, the temperature throughout the entire grand hall plummeted to the absolute freezing point! The flickering flames around them were frozen in an instant. Meng Wanshu looked coldly at the elder beside her. "Second Uncle, sometimes... if you're tired of living, you can just tell Wanshu." "Wanshu is very swift at killing people these days." As her words fell, a graceful figure arrived, stepping upon crimson flames. The two women, both wearing cold, stern expressions, locked eyes. The Vermilion Bird King, Bie Ruxue, looked at the frost-covered Meng Wanshu and said softly: "I'll give you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to handle your clan's affairs." Meng Wanshu did not turn back to look at the conflicted crowd. She merely looked up at the woman and asked softly: "How is he?" Bie Ruxue frowned and said softly, "Not dead." The corners of Meng Wanshu's mouth curved slightly upward. Taking a step forward to Bie Ruxue's side, she spoke with a calm gaze: "No need to handle it. Let's go." Bie Ruxue's delicate brows furrowed slightly, then smoothed out. "As long as you're sure." Meng Wanshu looked back over her shoulder, speaking with deep meaning: "They wouldn't dare." With those words, the two figures vanished from the Meng clan domain in an instant. As for who the arriving woman had been, the elders could not even sense her presence!
