Chapter 1872: I, Yun Xing, Will Protect Him!

“That kid actually got involved with the Holy Doctor Alliance, let’s spare him for now!”

In fact, in Lu Zhanbai’s heart, he was determined to kill Yun Xiao, but when his gaze swept over Wu Jiantong, he temporarily dismissed the thought.

After all, Wu Jiantong is also a genius in the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage, and Lu Zhanbai wasn’t absolutely confident he could defeat him. Everything could wait until after the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting.

“Let’s take down that Ouyang Yi first. How can someone like him be qualified to compete with us for the Xuanyuan Platform?”

After making up his mind, Lu Zhanbai’s gaze shifted to a certain figure. Now he had concerns about Yun Xiao and Wu Jiantong but felt no hesitation towards the remnants of the Ouyang Family.

“Yes, Mr. Bai!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyu, who had been feeling a bit down, suddenly became excited. He respectfully accepted the order, and his entire figure swiftly charged towards Ouyang Yi.

“Brother Gu, go help him, and remember to fight quickly!”

As for the remnants of the Ouyang Family, Lu Zhanbai wouldn’t talk about honor. When his calm voice spread, many people felt a brief moment of mourning for Ouyang Yi.

Even against Jiang Jingyu, a fellow Half-step Holy Rank, Ouyang Yi might not win, and with the addition of Gu Zhixuan, another Half-step Holy Rank, the outcome is almost certain.

Although Gu Zhixuan belonged to the Wansu Sect, at this moment, he undoubtedly obeyed Lu Zhanbai without much hesitation, following Jiang Jingyu and encircling Ouyang Yi from left and right.

“Shameless!”

Seeing this scene, Duan Wuwei, a genius from the Heart Poison Sect, couldn’t help but curse softly. However, he didn’t move an inch. After all, Ouyang Yi’s status was extraordinary, and even he didn’t dare to wade into these troubled waters lightly.

If it were merely the irrelevant Yun Xiao, with Wu Jiantong by his side, Duan Wuwei would dare act recklessly. His previous mockery was solely directed at Gu Zhixuan from the Wansu Sect, without implicating Lu Zhanbai in the least.

But Ouyang Yi was a remnant of the Ouyang Family, whom the Empress of the Dragon Emperor Palace had long wanted to eradicate. Anyone daring to interfere risked inviting disaster upon themselves instantly.

The Heart Poison Sect was indeed powerful, but not so much as to confront the Lu Family or the Dragon Emperor Palace, and Duan Wuwei understood this well—it was a deterrent formed by strength.

“This is troublesome!”

Encircled by Jiang Jingyu and Gu Zhixuan, Ouyang Yi’s expression turned extremely grim. If it were just Jiang Jingyu, he might not win but felt he could escape, but now that was uncertain.

Ouyang Yi had just recently advanced to the Third Transition Half-step Holy Rank. Against Jiang Jingyu, who was at the Sixth Transition Half-step Holy Rank, he was already at a disadvantage. Adding Gu Zhixuan, a Poison Vein Master not inferior to him, his escape route became incredibly difficult.

“I can only take it one step at a time!”

Having no other options, Ouyang Yi’s eyes flashed with a ruthless light. He immediately launched an attack, targeting his old rival, Jiang Jingyu.

“Good move!”

Seeing that Ouyang Yi didn’t choose to escape initially, Jiang Jingyu was inwardly delighted. Wanting to impress Lu Zhanbai, he wasn’t holding back much at this moment.

This genius from the Chongxiao Sect lived up to his name. In just a few moves, he forced Ouyang Yi into a significant disadvantage, showcasing exactly what he wanted to demonstrate.

Whoosh!

As Ouyang Yi became overwhelmed by Jiang Jingyu’s attack, a sound of wind cutting through suddenly came from the side, startling many people.

“It’s Gu Zhixuan!”

Even talents like Duan Wuwei, very familiar with Gu Zhixuan, weren’t at ease, knowing that guy had made his move at this critical moment, and it was a deadly strike.

However, neither Duan Wuwei nor Wu Jiantong noticed that when Gu Zhixuan launched his sneak attack, a certain white-robed figure beside them slightly trembled before becoming motionless.

Gu Zhixuan’s sneak attack was pinpoint accurate, with impeccable timing and mastery over Ouyang Yi’s responses, confident that under this strike, the remnants of the Ouyang Family would have no strength left to fight back.

In contrast, Jiang Jingyu’s expression wasn’t very good because if Gu Zhixuan succeeded first, his prior efforts to suppress Ouyang Yi would become futile, denying him the chance to showcase himself before Lu Zhanbai.

“Oh no!”

Just avoiding Jiang Jingyu’s powerful strike, Ouyang Yi suddenly sensed a formidable force coming from the side, carrying a faint pungent scent. He immediately realized it was Gu Zhixuan’s sneak attack.

However, Ouyang Yi, who was already at a disadvantage, was too late to take any action. When he saw that black finger stabbing towards his right rib, despair filled his heart.

Ouyang Yi knew that Gu Zhixuan was a half-step Holy Rank Poison Vein Master, and his Poison Meridian Skill was extraordinary. If he were struck by this poisonous finger, the outcome might be even more intolerable than being directly slain by Jiang Jingyu.

Thud!

A light sound was heard, and almost everyone, including Ouyang Yi himself, thought Gu Zhixuan’s finger had hit the acupoint on his right rib, and sighed inwardly.

“Hmm?”

Yet, the anticipated venom did not come. Ouyang Yi seemed to feel something patting his right rib, causing him to lower his head in astonishment.

Upon looking down, Ouyang Yi was both shocked and delighted to find that, unbeknownst to him, a fair hand had appeared beside his right rib, and Gu Zhixuan’s finger jabbed right into the palm of this hand.

“It’s him?!”

Escaping death, Ouyang Yi traced the hand upward and saw a white-clothed figure standing very close to him.

He wasn’t too unfamiliar with this figure; it was the very person who had engaged in a verbal battle with Gu Zhixuan and others earlier, seemingly named Yun Xing.

But in the next moment, Ouyang Yi’s suspicion grew further as he knew Lu Zhanbai, Gu Zhixuan, and others disliked Yun Xing, and Yun Xing seemingly had no relationship with him at all.

Even Duan Wuwei, the brilliant talent of Heart Poison Sect who had harsh words for Gu Zhixuan earlier, didn’t meddle at this time. After all, Ouyang Yi was considered a leftover of the Ouyang Family.

The Ouyang Family’s leftover status wasn’t terrifying, but if this family were decreed by Emperor Canglong to be exterminated, the situation would be vastly different.

No one expected that in such circumstances, someone would dare to wade into this turmoil, yet that white-clothed youth named Yun Xing did, and seemingly without hesitation.

At this moment, the scene fell into a strange silence, with everyone staring blankly at the suddenly emerging white-clothed youth, unable to recover for a long time.

Among them were Gu Zhixuan and Jiang Jingyu, the parties involved, as well as Lu Zhanbai, who had always been confident, and even Wu Jiantong and Duan Buwei, who were originally standing beside Yun Xiao, widened their eyes.

For beside these two, a realistic Yun Xing figure still stood, and only after a moment did this figure slowly dissipate, allowing them to finally grasp some understanding.

“This is somewhat unwise!”

Duan Wuwei murmured. Despite his sturdy appearance, his thoughts were quite meticulous, and that was why he held contempt for Wansu Sect’s actions earlier but didn’t intervene in the battle there.

Originally, Duan Wuwei believed that the two beside him would be unwilling to help because of Ouyang Yi’s sensitive identity, yet unexpectedly, that guy named Yun Xing acted without a word, catching them off guard.

“Yun Xing!”

A moment later, Gu Zhixuan, who was stunned for a few breaths, finally shouted fiercely, and the black finger pressing against Yun Xiao’s palm released a black haze, indicating he hadn’t lost his head due to the situation.

Gu Zhixuan, upon regaining his composure, withdrew his finger after his shout. His face was full of rage, but a hint of excitement still flickered in his eyes.

“This person is under my protection, you should retreat!”

Yun Xiao didn’t care at all for Gu Zhixuan’s fierce voice. He withdrew his right hand, and his domineering voice echoed, leaving everyone in the scene quite stunned.

To this white-clothed youth, almost everyone was unfamiliar. Even Wu Jiantong, who had come along, didn’t know Yun Xiao’s true background and only knew he was a young talent from Tenglong Continent.

Yun Xiao did not hide the aura of his half-step Holy Rank at the moment, but with this mere cultivation level, he dared disregard all the talents present, including Lu Zhanbai, who had reached the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze shifted to Lu Zhanbai, curious to see how this Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage Lu Family genius would respond to that white-clothed youth’s arrogance?

“Yun Xing, do you think yourself to be Dragon Cloud Supreme?”

Amidst everyone’s attention, Lu Zhanbai’s eyes flashed with strange light, and when mentioning Dragon Cloud Supreme, his face was full of sneering contempt, which resonated deeply with many.

Now, the universally acknowledged supreme of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud was the Sovereign of Emperor Canglong Palace, Emperor Canglong. This white-clothed youth only possessed half-step Holy Rank cultivation, far from the Dragon Cloud Supreme.

Still, in this public place, that white-clothed youth didn’t even regard Lu Zhanbai, a true Holy Rank Expert, and spoke repeatedly of wanting to protect someone, and even that someone was a leftover of the Ouyang Family, which was unbelievably audacious.
