"Alas, I didn't expect your personality to be so impetuous even after breaking through to the Earth level!"
Ye Cangtian shook his head speechlessly, then smiled and asked, "Gui Wu, do you know what kind of behavior you are engaging in here?"
Gui Wu was stunned. "What behavior?"
"The behavior of a shit-stirrer!"
Ye Cangtian shrugged.
Gui Wu's appearance was indeed a shit-stirrer for both sides of the current confrontation.
Of course, the current situation was still somewhat unfavorable to Ye Cangtian, as he had just gained the advantage and had the opportunity to kill Feng Ze and Xue Ye.
Now that Gui Wu had interfered, it was quite a headache for him.
"Shit-stirrer? Humph, Ye Cangtian, you are dead today!"
Gui Wu was displeased upon hearing this.
Her figure flashed, and she charged towards Ye Cangtian. The samurai sword in her hand cut through the night sky, forming a perfect arc as it descended.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian directly replaced his dagger with the Dragon Soul Blade. He didn't have time to bicker with Gui Wu and had to deal with her in the shortest possible time.
In the next instant, the Dragon Soul Blade deflected Gui Wu's samurai sword. Ye Cangtian then leaped into the air.
"Yin... Yang!"
As Ye Cangtian's voice erupted in a series of notes, the Dragon Soul Blade struck twice in succession. The samurai sword instantly snapped, and the Dragon Soul Blade was held at Gui Wu's throat.
"This..."
How could this be possible!
Gui Wu was instantly stunned.
She had thought that after breaking through to the Earth level, she would be able to contend with Ye Cangtian.
Even if she ultimately lost, it wouldn't be this quickly.
However, reality had slapped her hard. With just one move, she was defeated, and all her confidence and pride crumbled.
It's over! It's over!
Seeing Gui Wu's life hanging in the balance at Ye Cangtian's mercy, Feng Ying and Xue Ye's faces showed despair, and they began to curse inwardly.
This damned woman, she was too ungrateful!
"Gui Wu, are you going to take it yourself, or should I help you?"
On the other side, Ye Cangtian took out a spirit-sealing pill and dangled it before Gui Wu.
"..."
Gui Wu snapped back to reality, her body trembling.
After a moment, she reluctantly extended her hand and took the spirit-sealing pill.
There was no other choice; she knew that other than death, this was the only option.
Having been defeated by Ye Cangtian again, she was utterly disheartened and thus unafraid of death. However, she couldn't die now; at least she had to say thank you to someone.
"If you had been this obedient earlier, why would you have suffered?"
Watching Gui Wu swallow the spirit-sealing pill, Ye Cangtian put down the Dragon Soul Blade and said irritably.
Without waiting for Gui Wu's reply, he turned towards Xue Ye and Feng Ze and said, "Alright, the trouble is gone. Now, let's continue..."
Run!
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Feng Ze and Xue Ye exchanged glances, instantly understanding each other's intentions. Without a word, they turned and fled.
"Do you think you can escape?"
Ye Cangtian flashed and chased after Feng Ze.
After all, Feng Ze's injuries were more severe.
Secondly, Xue Ye could not be killed for the time being.
"Ye Cangtian, you son of a bitch, why are you chasing me!"
Feeling the aura behind him getting closer, Feng Ze's heart tightened, and he finally couldn't help but roar in anger.
In terms of strength, he believed he was not as strong as Xue Ye.
Moreover, apart from today's events, he had no major grievances with Huaxia or Ye Cangtian. He couldn't figure out why the other party was relentlessly pursuing him.
"You're still so mouthy even when you're a cornered dog. It seems I need to teach you some manners!"
Ye Cangtian flashed and appeared directly in front of Feng Ze, unleashing a punch.
"You!"
Feng Ze was startled by the sudden turn of events. He tried to block, but it was too late.
In the next moment, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body trembled, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and was sent flying backward.
"Feng Ze, my Hidden Unit always treats prisoners well."
"If you obediently take the spirit-sealing pill, I can spare your life! Otherwise, you know the consequences..."
Ye Cangtian slowly approached Feng Ze, took out a spirit-sealing pill from his Qiankun Bag, and said calmly.
"I'll eat it..."
Feng Ze said helplessly. He had already been heavily injured by Xue Ye and then took a punch from Ye Cangtian, aggravating his injuries. At this moment, he was powerless to fight back.
He didn't want to perish here after finally obtaining a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir and breaking through to the Earth level.
Therefore, for him, being a prisoner of war was a better option. Perhaps the Tingfeng Tower would come to rescue him, or they would negotiate his release with the Hidden Unit...
"Very good, you've made a wise choice."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and watched the other party swallow the spirit-sealing pill before ignoring him.
Without his spiritual energy, even if the other party wanted to escape now, they wouldn't be able to get out of his grasp.
He glanced at the ongoing battle on the other side.
The fight between Nami and Qiao was essentially decided; it was only a matter of time.
Through constant suppression and gradual expansion of his advantage, Nami had gained absolute control.
In contrast, Qiao had already expended a lot of energy and was covered in injuries. Although there were no fatal wounds, he had become a bloody mess, significantly impacting his combat strength.
"Qiao, are you still not going to surrender?"
Ye Cangtian's voice reached him. Qiao's body trembled violently. He was already suffering immensely and had been counting on Xue Ye and Feng Ze to kill Ye Cangtian and relieve his predicament.
Who would have thought that everything would go contrary to his wishes?
At this moment, his heart had sunk to the bottom, but he showed no fear. Instead, a hint of viciousness and resolve appeared in his eyes.
"Ye Cangtian, don't think you've won!"
"Now I'll show you my true strength!"
Qiao glanced at Ye Cangtian, allowing Nami's golden trident to slash across his arm.
He endured the searing pain, clasped his hands together in a gesture of reverence.
For a moment, Ye Cangtian and Nami were stunned.
To endure Nami's attack just to pray?
Did praying work at this moment?
However, in the instant they were stunned, Qiao's body suddenly emitted a faint golden light. He gradually opened his arms, as if bathed in holy light.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
The blood splatter on the ground floated up and flew towards Qiao's body, and the wounds on his body healed at a visible rate.
At the same time, his aura weakened then strengthened, even gradually surpassing his previous peak state.
"Hymn of Holy Light!"
"Heavens! It's really the legendary Hymn of Holy Light!"
In the room, Nancy watched the golden Qiao from the window, her heart filled with astonishment.
The Hymn of Holy Light was one of the ancient secret arts obtained by the Temple of Light.
The sole effect of this technique was to rapidly restore severely injured individuals and temporarily boost their combat power.
Nancy never expected that Qiao had mastered this technique.
She recalled that she had asked the Pope for this technique before.
According to the Pope, the requirements to cultivate this technique were extremely stringent, requiring not only exceptional talent but also a sincere yearning for light and great love to be favored by the God of Light...
Now it seemed the Pope had deliberately misled her when he didn't want to teach her the technique.
Because no one knew Qiao's filth and depravity better than she did!
Thinking of this, Nanxi's face couldn't help but flash with a hint of indignation.
"This..."
Outside, Ye Cangtian and Nami exchanged glances. Without a word, they immediately attacked Qiao.
Needless to say, this should be a type of ancient secret art.
If Qiao was merely restoring his combat power, it wouldn't be terrifying. What was terrifying was if he achieved a breakthrough; it could put both of them in danger.
Therefore, they absolutely could not let Qiao succeed.
Clang!
Ye Cangtian's dagger was repelled by the light surrounding Qiao. Only Nami's golden trident easily passed through the halo, inflicting damage on Qiao's body once again.
However, this damage healed within a very short period under the glow of the light.
"Don't bother! In the Hymn of Holy Light, I am invincible!"
Seeing their attacks, Qiao finally spoke, a look of extreme disdain on his face.
Although the golden trident had caused him damage, it healed quickly, which inflated his ego to the extreme.
He became even more convinced of the Pope's words that possessing the Hymn of Holy Light meant having the protection of the God of Light, and no one in the world could harm him.
"Heh, it's quite intimidating!"
"But how long can you maintain power that isn't your own?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Qiao and said with a cold laugh.
He didn't know the specific abilities of the Hymn of Holy Light, but in his opinion, such an ancient secret art was destined to have a limited duration. Otherwise, why wouldn't the opponent have used it from the beginning?
So, as long as they could hold on until the secret art ended, Qiao would pose no threat.
"You're right, this secret art cannot be maintained for long. However, how long can you last in my hands?"
Exposed by Ye Cangtian, Qiao did not hide it and directly admitted it.
In the next moment, the blood-red longsword in his hand was enveloped in a layer of golden light, and he charged towards Ye Cangtian.
Time was limited, and he had to defeat both of them as much as possible. Relatively speaking, Ye Cangtian's displayed combat power was weaker, so he naturally attacked Ye Cangtian first.
