Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1736 Dire Straits (2)

The flames burst through space and appeared in front of Quan Xiao. However, Quan Xiao had no intention of dodging. He raised his hand, and a dark shield immediately appeared in front of him.

BOOM—

The flames crashed into the shield and were unable to advance.

Meanwhile, Hong Hualian tried to protect herself against the incoming dark spears, but it was futile. Several spears mercilessly pierced into her body from the back and front, causing blood to splash into the air.

A wave of fatigue flooded Hong Hualian's body as she felt her strength gradually leaving her. Her vision began to blur. She knew that she didn't have much time left.

"Yun Tian... See you soon." Hong Hualian muttered to herself. She had already evacuated her people, and she had nothing to worry about.

The only thing Hong Hualian regretted was not having the opportunity to witness Yun Lintian's ascent to the pinnacle and kill Ren Yuan.

Just as her eyes were about to close completely, a figure suddenly appeared beside her and injected divine energy into her body, keeping her awake.

Hong Hualian was startled and took a closer look at the person. The first thing that caught her eye was the beautiful face of a woman. She was certain that she had never seen this woman before… Who was she? And why did she help her?

The woman was none other than Xian An, who had just arrived a few seconds ago.

Xian An looked at Hong Hualian and said. "Hang on. It would be troublesome if you died."

"You... are?" Hong Hualian asked in difficulty.

Xian An ignored her and raised her head to look at Quan Xiao. "Are you the self-proclaimed ancient god emperor? I thought you would be more powerful."

Quan Xiao stared at Xian An with a frown. He had to admit that Xian An had completely caught him off guard. She could actually appear without him noticing. It wasn't an easy feat to achieve.

When Quan Xiao heard Xian An's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke. "Your aura is very strange. It seems like you are not a native here."

Hong Hualian listened to the conversation and was inwardly shocked... What did he mean? Could it be that she came from the outer realm?

Xian An curled her lips and handed Hong Hualian over to her subordinates. "Don't let her die."

She pointed her finger at Quan Xiao and said. "Are you ready?"

Quan Xiao's expression turned cold. He was a dignified god emperor from the distant past. How could she dare to point at him like this?

His aura immediately surged, and thousands of dark spears emerged from the void, shooting towards Xian An. It was several times more powerful than the previous attempt.

Xian An was exceptionally calm. She even smiled as she uttered. "Die."

Suddenly, a cold, icy-blue light erupted from the tip of Xian An's finger and rushed towards Quan Xiao, freezing everything in its path.

Quan Xiao's heart sank. His intuition told him to avoid it at all costs. Without hesitation, his figure vanished into the void.

"You think you can run?" Xian An said and moved her finger slightly.

The icy blue light instantly transformed into a sharp, cold sword, cutting open the space.

Quan Xiao suddenly felt a wave of crisis as a menacing aura closed in on him from all directions.

Quan Xiao hurriedly conjured several layers of a protective shield as it was too late for him to evade again.

The flawless icy sword, gleaming with a lustrous blue light, effortlessly pierced through the dark shield and continued to move through the layers of the barrier without any hindrance.

Quan Xiao's pupils instantly contracted. He was fully aware of how powerful the shield he had created was. Even if it failed to block Xian An's attack, it should at least slow it down... But nothing had happened! It was as if the barrier didn't exist!

"Hah!" A black armor suddenly appeared on Quan Xiao's chest as he let out a battle cry. His aura surged violently, causing the surrounding space to tear apart.

However, the icy sword, faster than any shooting star in the universe, was not affected by the violent explosion in the slightest. It continued moving forward and slammed into Quan Xiao's chest.

BOOM—

The icy sword pierced through Quan Xiao's black armor, releasing a chilling energy so indescribably dreadful that it sent shivers down the spines of everyone present.

The horrifying surge of icy energy flooded Quan Xiao's body the moment the icy sword pierced through his chest.

"HAAAAAH!" Quan Xiao roared desperately as he unleashed everything to eliminate the tyrannical force that invaded him.

All the dark energy in that area quickly converged around Quan Xiao, causing him to transform into a colossal demonic creature with elongated horns and enormous wings. His arms were extremely long, reaching down to his feet, and had a spear-like shape. He looked like a gargoyle from the deepest depths of hell.

Xian An was slightly surprised at the scene. However, she didn't seem to care much about it. "It doesn't matter. You will still die by my sword."

As her voice fell, Xian An's aura burst forth, and everything within a radius of a thousand kilometers was filled with a raging storm.

Hong Hualian looked at the scene in astonishment. She could feel the immense power within the storm. It was a power that she would never be able to resist... Who the hell was she?

"Kill." Xian An uttered and clenched her fist.

Immediately, numerous wind swords emerged from the violent storm and shot towards Quan Xiao all at once.

Quan Xiao roared and spread his wings. His entire body was instantly enveloped in a dark, ominous light before exploding outward.

BOOOOM—

The starry sky trembled violently, and countless smaller stars were obliterated directly by the explosion.

When god emperors fought, mortals would perish. It was an unavoidable consequence.

Amidst the explosion, Xian An's figure disappeared from its original position and reappeared in front of Quan Xiao. She looked incredibly small in front of him, but the power emanating from her was much stronger.

Another icy sword appeared in her hand, as she thrust it towards Quan Xiao's heart. Everything happened in a split second, and Quan Xiao had no way to react.

Puff!

The icy sword effortlessly pierced Quan Xiao's heart, unleashing a powerful surge of frozen energy within his body.

"Arghhhh!" Quan Xiao howled in pain as a layer of frost appeared on his body...
