Chapter 2463: Her Wish Is to Protect Me?

Chapter 2463: Chapter 2463: Her Wish Is to Protect Me?

Ye Haochuan’s Axe Shadow attack couldn’t cause much harm to Mu Tianfeng and Yan Jin, but the pain it brought made them suffer immensely.

Originally, it shouldn’t have mattered. With their strength, as long as they endured the momentary pain, they could rush forward and eliminate Ye Haochuan.

However, the Old Woman was still here.

The Old Woman’s attack was powerful in itself. When combined with Ye Haochuan’s Soul Shock, it constantly disrupted their cultivation techniques, leaving them unable to endure the Old Woman’s assault, and very quickly they were in dire straits.

Nobody anticipated the battle reaching this state.

Even the always proud Yan Jin turned her gaze towards Gu Aotian, hoping the Sect Leader could quickly resolve his opponent and come to assist.

But to her surprise, Gu Aotian didn’t have the upper hand in his battle.

"How is this possible?"

Yan Jin stared blankly at Dou Chi, who was entangling Gu Aotian.

This guy was just at the Void God Peak; how could he possibly contend with Gu Aotian?

It must be known that Gu Aotian, even among Demi-God experts, is recognized as a top-tier expert!

Nonetheless, this seemingly impossible event occurred just like that.

Gu Aotian’s situation wasn’t just disadvantageous; under Dou Chi’s fierce attacks, he was already battered and precarious.

Gu Aotian was also observing this side of the battle; he thought the same as Yan Jin, wanting some of his subordinates to go over and help.

"Damn it, what are these guys doing? Three against one and still so passive?"

Gu Aotian was bitter!

Of course, it was three against one, because Ye Haochuan simply wasn’t considered.

Dou Chi’s attacks were becoming increasingly superior; at last, Gu Aotian retreated step by step.

Gu Aotian couldn’t understand why, despite Dou Chi’s obvious reduction in strength, he was still so formidable.

Can anyone survive such circumstances?

"Die!"

The killing intent in Dou Chi’s eyes spread as he swung his sword, ready to capture Gu Aotian in one decisive move.

This sword shattered space and twisted time; where the sword light passed, a scarlet shadow like a ribbon lingered in the void, as if the void itself had been slashed.

Chills ran down Gu Aotian’s spine; it was clear that this sword was Dou Chi’s all-out strike, and with his current strength, he couldn’t withstand it.

With a grim face and clenched teeth, he shouted, "Senior Meng, rescue me quickly!"

Almost as soon as his voice fell, a withered hand suddenly emerged from the void, gripping Dou Chi’s overwhelmingly powerful sword.

"Gu Aotian, ready yourself for punishment at the main temple!"

A withered figure suddenly appeared, coldly addressing Gu Aotian.

"Yes!"

Gu Aotian’s face was expressionless, as if he had lost a parent, yet he respectfully saluted.

He had already known the outcome when he called out "Senior Meng."

Each of the four sections of the Temple concealed a God Lord Realm expert, who usually did not interfere with sectional matters. Even if a section encountered a major disaster, they would not intervene lightly.

However, if a Sect Leader had to seek the intervention of a God Lord expert, it signaled that this leader could no longer fulfill the role.

With so many in the Temple, there were countless eyes on the Sect Leader position. Even if such sudden events were not blamed on the leader, they had enough reason to relinquish their position.

Due to such unwritten rules, if Dou Chi wasn’t already threatening his life, Gu Aotian would never have called upon a God Lord expert.

A lifetime of effort for his position, only to be set back to the beginning—Gu Aotian seethed with hatred, wishing to kill Dou Chi with a glare.

Dou Chi didn’t even glance at Gu Aotian; focused on the sudden appearance of the withered figure, his breath became rapid.

No wonder he felt a faint sense of danger upon entering the South Sect; it turned out such an expert was concealed here.

"Is it him?"

Even from afar, Ye Haochuan noticed the change and couldn’t help but gasp.

That withered old man was the very one he encountered in the Treasure Vault.

Back then, he had realized the old man was extraordinary, but hadn’t imagined he was this formidable.

The God Lord Realm—it was indeed the God Lord Realm!

Though it sounded like just a step from the Demi-God Realm, in truth the two were worlds apart.

Theoretically, it didn’t matter how many Demi-God cultivators came; defeating a true God Lord was out of the question.

They were the true Overlords of this world.

Fighting them was akin to battling the heavens!

Damn it, this is too cruel. Just when hope appeared, it was dashed again?

Ye Haochuan’s heart sank.

He had just managed to kill Liu Shi, slightly shifting the battle’s momentum, thinking after taking down the strongest of the South Sect, he could escape easily.

Who could have anticipated a more terrifying existence would appear at the critical moment?

No, this old guy must have been here all along!

Ye Haochuan had been wondering why he couldn’t communicate with the Minor World even from so far away.

Now it seemed this old man had been following him, using methods to restrict the surrounding space.

It couldn’t have been anyone else!

"Is it the end?"

The Old Woman smiled bitterly.

The appearance of the God Lord shattered all her hopes.

She didn’t even consider fleeing, because in the face of the God Lord, they were like "ants," with nowhere to run.

She gave Ye Haochuan a meaningful look, her gaze unexpectedly lacking sadness, instead appearing as though she found relief.

"Luckily, if I must die, at least it’s with him!"

Just then, a streak of black light shot towards Ghost Shadow’s head, moving with unimaginable speed.

She couldn’t dodge, struck squarely by the black light.

Ghost Shadow, gravely wounded, let out a howl before shattering.

Pfft~

The Old Woman suddenly spewed a mouthful of blood, her energy quickly fading.

Already pushing her potential, now suffering a cultivation backlash, she instantly became overextended and collapsed softly.

"Piaoying, are you alright?"

Ye Haochuan called out anxiously, quickly supporting her.

"You... you knew it was me..."

The Old Woman looked at Ye Haochuan in surprise.

"If I still didn’t realize it now, I’d truly be a fool!"

Tears welled up in Ye Haochuan’s eyes as he took out several Spirit Level Eight Treasure Tianyuan Pills, feeding them to the Old Woman while infusing her with Dragon Origin Essence Qi to help her recover.

"I didn’t want you to know I’ve become like this, but I didn’t expect you’d find out still!"

Long Piaoying smiled bitterly as tears fell from her eyes.

"You fool, why didn’t you tell me sooner? Did you think I’d despise you because of this?"

"It’s not about you despising me, it’s that I despise myself!"

Long Piaoying suddenly laughed, "You know, I’m really happy to still have the chance to protect you a few more times, it makes me feel like it’s when we first met!"

Ye Haochuan felt his heart being wrenched painfully, making tears pour down his face.

Is this fool’s wish to always be able to protect me?
