This signaled that the other battlefield of Golden Immortals was likely drawing to a close!
And the outcome didnât seem difficult to predict. No matter how confident Old Man Yunshi was in Jiang Chengxuan, he didnât believe Jiang could take on two veteran Golden ImmortalsâArterial Blood Demon Immortal and Ghostwalker Immortalâalone and suppress them both.
The most likely result was that Jiang Chengxuan had employed extraordinary means to successfully break through the encirclement and escape the battlefield. That, in Yunshiâs mind, was already the best possible outcome.
But it was far from enough.
Once Jiang Chengxuan withdrew, under the might of Arterial Blood Demon Immortal, how could the entire Yunlan Immortal Sect army possibly resist a single Golden Immortal?
Being pinned here, just a bit more time, and the core disciples of Yunlan Immortal Sect might be utterly wiped out in the Arterial Blood Demon Realmâreduced to nameless corpses!
If that really happened, then from this day forward, the Yunlan Immortal Sect would be nothing more than an empty name. Even preserving their ancestral mountain would become a pipe dream!
This battle, one that was supposed to be a decisive purge, could instead become the very grave Yunlan dug for itself.
Ten thousand years of foundationâgone in an instant!
With such thoughts, how could Yunshi not panic? Even with ten thousand years of experience, this was a blow he could hardly bear!
"Jie jie jie... Looks like the battle on the other side is over!"
"Old dog Yunshi, still not giving up? If you donât retreat with your troops now, your Yunlan Immortal Clan will be completely annihilated!"
Di Xiu Daxian (Grand Immortal Di Xiu) naturally picked up on this shift as well. He let out a cold, sinister laugh, pressing his advantage, speaking with smug satisfaction.
But his words were not just for tauntingâthey were calculated. He was subtly suggesting that Yunshi should retreat.
It was his own plan all along. He didnât truly want to see the Yunlan Immortal Sect entirely destroyedâhe only wished for them to be gravely weakened!
Only that way could the conflict between Yunlan Immortal Sect and the Arterial Blood Sect drag on to mutual destructionâso that he could continue to stir the pot and reap the spoils.
To him, whether Arterial Blood Sect won or lost didnât matter. As long as Yunshi fled, he would not stop himâin fact, it suited him perfectly.
Yunshi, of course, caught the deeper meaning in Di Xiuâs words and frowned.
Should he really flee now?
This battle, where the entire fate of Yunlan Immortal Sect had been wagered... was it really ending in failure?
Faced with this choice, even someone like Yunshi hesitated, unable to decide.
In the end, he realized it might be too late to turn the tide. A painful retreat might be the only remaining pathâthe last chance for Yunlan Sectâs survival.
But though Yunshiâs expression turned pale, he could not accept this reality from the bottom of his heart.
"Buzzâ!"
Just then, a wave of powerful Golden Immortal might pierced through the void, rushing straight into the universe battlefield where Yunshi and Di Xiu clashed.
Both were startledâbut their reactions differed wildly: oneâs face twisted in a sinister grin, while the otherâs turned cold and grim.
No doubt, just as they had guessed, the other Golden Immortal battle had endedâand the victor was now arriving.
"Jie jie jie! Still not fleeing...?"
Di Xiu chuckled coldly, looking utterly confident and smug.
Yunshiâs heart sank. He began to withdraw his own universe phenomenon, preparing to retreat and evacuate the remaining Yunlan Immortal Sect forces.
"You sinister old ghostâso youâre the helper Arterial Blood Old Demon invited?"
But before anyone could act further, a voice filled with majestic calm echoed across the voidâcutting through everything with its sheer authority.
In that instant, both Golden Immortals froze, expressions stunned.
No one had expected that he would be the one to arrive!
Di Xiuâs twisted face immediately contorted in disbeliefâthe sinister grin vanishing, replaced by shock and confusion.
"Impossible!"
This was the thought that echoed in both their mindsâon the verge of being shouted aloud.
Yunshiâs expression was even more complex. First shock, then despair, disbelief... and finally, overwhelming joy! His face flushed as though drunk, his eyes wide and gleaming.
In his long life, he had never experienced such a wild surge of emotion.
Because the figure who now slowly emerged from the voidâwas none other than Jiang Chengxuan!
Even if Di Xiu had never seen him before, he immediately understood who this must be.
It wasnât Arterial Blood Demon Immortal. It wasnât Ghostwalker Immortal.
Then the truth was clear.
"Impossible!"
The void fell utterly silent. After a long moment, Di Xiuâs eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared in fury, his smugness shattered.
"You mustâve used some trick to escape them! Right?!"
"Donât try to fool me! Theyâll be back soon, and youâll all die!"
"This battle belongs to the Arterial Blood Sect! Victory is certain!"
The unhinged roars came one after another, each one more desperate than the last.
Yunshi also turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan, worried there might be truth in those words.
But Jiang merely smiled calmly, meeting Yunshiâs eyes without saying a word.
That expression alone told Yunshi everythingâthis wasnât escape. This wasnât a trick.
He had won.
Having ruled out all other possibilities, no matter how improbable this one seemed, it had to be the truth:
Jiang Chengxuan had defeated both Arterial Blood Demon Immortal and Ghostwalker Immortal in a one-against-two battle!
He had crushed them so completely that they were forced to flee and abandon their dominion!
Even Yunshi could barely believe itâyet it was the only explanation left!
"Still not fleeing? Letâs see what tricks youâve got left, old ghost!"
Jiang Chengxuan no longer delayed. His immortal power surged, and the phenomenon of a Golden Immortal blazed into being.
In an instant, the dead, silent world turned violent once more. His immense energy roared like a reversed river through the void.
With a flick of his finger, that power was unleashedâcrashing through the deep sky as a blazing torrent!
Di Xiuâs eyes narrowed. Snarling, he activated his own decayed dao laws and met the attack head-on.
He was now the one unwilling to yield, scrambling desperately to grasp one last sliver of hope.
How could he be willing to surrender the Arterial Blood Realm, just as it had been placed within reach?
"RUMBLEâ!!"
The moment their powers collided, the heavens trembled. The deep void shuddered. Stars shattered in distant space.
Di Xiu felt it immediatelyâJiang Chengxuanâs power was suppressing him, pressing him back.
There could be no doubt now. Jiang Chengxuan did possess the strength to defeat the Arterial Blood Demon Immortal!
At least in single combat, he no longer feared even such terrifying opponents.
But Di Xiuâs shock didnât end there.
Suddenly, golden radiance burst forth from the heavens, illuminating the world like a newborn sun.
Wheel after wheel of golden brilliance floated in the deep void, radiating a divine and oppressive power.
The forbidden might was so profound that even Di Xiu felt a twinge of dread.
It was a terrifying signâproof that Jiang Chengxuanâs strength was not just real, but deadly, even to Golden Immortals.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!"
"Those two idiotsâuseless fools!"
No matter how crazed he was, Di Xiu could no longer deny the truth.
He cursed three times in a row, his fury shaking the sky.
And thenâhis decayed laws and rotting universe manifestation began to retract, dimming and vanishing rapidly.
The very next moment, with no hesitation, Di Xiuâs immortal force exploded outward. Before Jiang Chengxuan could make another move, he ripped open the voidâand escaped!
