Chapter 173 - Chapter 174: Gu Yuan’s Resolve

However, the battle between Hun Tiandi and Xiao Xuan at this moment was earth-shattering and tear-inducing... After all, the fight between these two was already the strongest battle force on the Fighting Qi Continent today!

The already fragmented Xiao Realm naturally could not withstand the terrifying energy aftermath and completely collapsed... But since Xiao Xuan was only a Soul body, he naturally could not be Hun Tiandi's opponent and had already completely fallen into a disadvantage... And the same was true for Xiao Yi!

However, even so, neither Xiao Xuan nor Xiao Yi gave up or surrendered!

Xiao Yi instantly manifested the Fallen Heart Flame and Sea Heart Flame, two types of Heavenly Flame, in his palm!

"Heavenly Flames, huh..."

"For one person to master two Heavenly Flames, he has indeed learned a bit of Xiao Xuan's superficial skills..."

Hun Feng mocked upon seeing this.

However, Xiao Yi ignored him. The Sea Heart Flame and Fallen Heart Flame in his palm transformed into a wave and a fire python, rushing towards Hun Feng... Yet, a black flame suddenly appeared in front of Hun Feng, completely swallowing the Sea Heart Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame... Seeing the black flame, Xiao Yi's heart froze!

"Void Swallowing Flame!"

Facing Hun Feng at this moment, Xiao Yi only felt a sense of powerlessness surge into his heart!

The next second, Hun Feng was no longer prepared to stall; terrifying auras surged out from his body, and his figure flashed.

He rushed towards Xiao Yi, intending to finish him off right there!

However, just as Hun Feng approached, he suddenly sensed an extremely powerful and terrifying Soul Power erupting from within Xiao Yi!

"Trying to self-destruct?"

"You truly are just like your useless ancestor..."

Hun Feng still couldn't help but mock him at this moment.

As the Young Clan Chief of the Hun Clan, Hun Feng possessed the Hun Clan's Divine Grade Bloodline, and he was confident in his strength!

Even if Xiao Yi had the idea of self-destructing, in Hun Feng's eyes, it was merely the helpless resistance of an ant... However, the next second, just as the blood blade formed by Hun Feng's Dou Qi was about to touch Xiao Yi... an extremely dazzling golden light suddenly appeared from the Void Realm behind Xiao Yi...

The terrifying aura emanating from the golden light actually directly forced Hun Feng to retreat...

Seeing this, Hun Feng was somewhat confused and could only roar angrily:

"Who dares to block my Hun Clan!"

However, only a profound and heavy voice faintly drifted from the Void Realm:

"Have the juniors of the Hun Clan become this arrogant now?"

As the voice faded, a golden-glowing pressure immediately emerged from the Void Realm, directly suppressing Hun Feng, who was a High-Tier Half-Saint, in his spot...

Immediately afterward, Gu Yuan slowly stepped out from the Void Realm, followed by the current strongest battle force of the Gu Family... Black Annihilation King, the Eight-Star Dou Sheng expert Gu Lie... as well as the Gu Family's Three Immortals, all of whom were Seven-Star Dou Sheng-Grade...

The last to appear was Gu Xun'er... Xun'er stepped out from the Void Realm, and without hesitation, she immediately went to Xiao Yi's side... "Brother Xiao Yi..."

Xun'er's eyes were filled with anxiety. She quickly helped Xiao Yi up and spoke softly.

Xiao Yi also turned his head to look at Xun'er and said:

"Xun'er, I'm fine..."

Xiao Yi's words were indeed true. Although he had a brief exchange with Hun Feng earlier.

But Hun Feng was extremely casual and had not yet seriously attacked... It was just that Xiao Yi had no way to deal with Hun Feng at this moment... Even using all his trump cards, he couldn't affect Hun Feng in the slightest...

Fortunately, Gu Yuan made a timely move, forcing Hun Feng back and saving Xiao Yi...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Hun Tiandi saw Gu Yuan leading the Gu Family members onto the scene and also stopped his fight with Xiao Xuan...

He still looked at Gu Yuan and the others with that sinister smile:

"Gu Yuan..."

"I didn't expect your perceptiveness to still be so keen..."

However, before Gu Yuan could speak, the Black Annihilation King Gu Lie, who was beside him, also looked fiercely at Hun Tiandi and said:

"Hun Tiandi!"

"Although this place is the former site of the Xiao Realm, it is still the boundary of my Ancient World, and it will not tolerate your Hun Clan being so presumptuous here!"

But Hun Tiandi let out a sinister laugh:

"Has the Gu Family become so tough in their speech now..."

"Gu Yuan, why are you making a move now, are you also preparing to save Xiao Xuan from my hands?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan instantly erupted with the aura of a Peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng, saying: "Yes, so what?"

Hearing these words, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but turn his head slightly to look at Gu Yuan.

Because Gu Yuan's words were somewhat surprising to Xiao Xuan...

Gu Yuan's appearance here today was only partly to save Xiao Xuan and Xiao Yi.

The more important matter was that Gu Yuan did not want the Xiao Clan's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to fall into the hands of the Hun Clan...

Furthermore, Gu Yuan was confident that the two great Families, the Hun Clan and the Gu Family, were equally matched in strength!

Even if the Hun Clan had great ambitions, they still didn't have the courage to choose war with the Gu Family, just like they chose war with the Xiao Clan a thousand years ago!

If they chose to start a war with the Gu Family, it would not benefit the Hun Clan in any way...

This was the reason for Gu Yuan's tough stance at the moment!

In reality, Gu Yuan's confidence at this moment was somewhat blind; although Hun Tiandi had spent a thousand years recovering from injuries after annihilating the Xiao Clan a thousand years ago!

However, during those thousand years, Hun Tiandi never gave up plotting for his plan to become an Emperor...

Moreover, since the Void Swallowing Flame possessed the abilities of the Spirit Devouring Clan, the Hun Clan's strength had long surpassed the other six great ancient Families!

The Gu Family could only contend with the Hun Clan openly; in reality, if the two Families truly went to war, the Gu Family's fate would only be the same as the Xiao Clan's...

But Hun Tiandi, for the sake of ensuring his plan was foolproof, did not choose to do so...

And Gu Yuan's choice just now to suppress Hun Feng instead of directly crippling him was also because he did not want to completely fall out with the Hun Clan...

Because, in Gu Yuan's view, among the Eight Families, the Xiao Clan had already been destroyed!

What the remaining Seven Families needed was a balance!

Only in this way could the Gu Family remain safe and sound...

Unfortunately, Gu Yuan would never have thought that the Gu Family's Ancestral Hall Elders had already been infiltrated by the Hun Clan...

War between the Gu Family and the Hun Clan was inevitable, it was only a matter of time...

Hun Tiandi looked at Gu Yuan, as well as Gu Lie and the Gu Family's Three Immortals behind him... then turned his head to glance at Xiao Xuan and smiled coldly:

"Gu Yuan, the situation on the Continent can change in an instant, with just a breath!"

"Don't think that your Gu Family can stay out of this!"

"Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan..."

"Both of you listen clearly. This Seat will personally come to retrieve the Xiao Clan's and Gu Family's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade one day..."

"And that day is not far off..."

After Hun Tiandi finished speaking, he slightly raised his hand, freeing Hun Feng who was suppressed by Gu Yuan. The two then slowly retreated into the black smoke behind them and vanished from the spot.

"Clan Chief, are we really going to let Hun Tiandi leave just like that?"

Gu Lie asked, clearly puzzled by the situation.

Gu Yuan frowned tightly and spoke in a deep voice:

"If we were to fight Hun Tiandi today, it would mean the Gu Family truly going to war with the Hun Clan!"

"If that were to happen, the only ones to benefit would be outsiders..."

But Gu Lie still asked:

"But the Hun Clan is acting increasingly arrogant and presumptuous now. Today was a good opportunity to severely wound the Hun Clan..."

Gu Yuan, however, shook his head and said:

"The Hun Clan's ambition is known to everyone..."

"But as long as we guard my Gu Family's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade well, Hun Tiandi won't be able to stir up any trouble..."

After Gu Yuan finished speaking, he slowly turned his head to look at Xiao Xuan in the distance...
