Chapter 344: Desperate Struggle!

 n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, as if foretelling an earth-shattering battle that was about to unfold.

Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan clashed fiercely in the high clouds, their terrifying auras mixed together, creating a suffocating pressure.

Hun Tiandi's white robe was now torn in places, his expression as cold as ice, his eyes filled with murderous intent. His sharp gaze locked onto Gu Yuan in front of him, while occasionally glancing at the distant Nihility Devouring Flame, who was still battling Gu Fei.

His figure was surrounded by black flames, but it was becoming increasingly faint, as if he could vanish at any moment.

"This is bad. If this continues, he won't hold on!" his heart was filled with anxiety.

He knew very well that Nihility Devouring Flame was the key to this battle. If they lost him, the Hun Clan would surely be wiped out. Even if he managed to save him, it wouldn't change the fact that the Hun Clan was losing. The coalition forces vastly outnumbered them, and even dealing with Gu Yuan alone was stretching his limits.

Saving him would only buy a little time, as he was already wounded.

Defeat was inevitable!

But even so, as long as they could escape with Nihility Devouring Flame, there was still hope for a comeback! They could lie low for a few more years...

As Hun Tiandi got distracted, Gu Yuan seized the opportunity and struck instantly. He pressed his palms together, and a massive surge of Dou Qi burst out from within him, forming a giant golden palm print.

The palm print shimmered with dazzling light, covered in intricate, mysterious patterns, radiating an aura of sacred majesty.

"Break!" Gu Yuan shouted, and the golden palm print roared forth, crashing towards Hun Tiandi with unstoppable force.

Boom!

The deafening explosion echoed through the sky, the terrifying shockwave creating towering waves, shaking the very heavens.

Caught off guard, Hun Tiandi was struck squarely in the chest, letting out a muffled grunt as he was flung thousands of feet away, spinning through the air several times before finally managing to steady himself.

Blood spurted from his mouth, painting a vivid red arc in the sky.

His face turned deathly pale, a look of shock flashing across his eyes- he hadn't expected Gu Yuan's attack to be this ferocious.

They should be equally matched. In theory, he shouldn't be at a disadvantage.

But it was all becasue Gu Yuan took advantage of his distarction.

"You can't afford to lose focus in a fight with me," Gu Yuan said calmly, his hands behind his back, a subtle smirk curling the corner of his lips.

It was as though he wasn't taking the battle seriously at all- just playing around.

Hun Tiandi was truly rattled. Seeing him so composed unsettled him.

Though outwardly calm, Gu Yuan remained extremely vigilant. He knew just how dangerous someone like Hun Tiandi could be, and he couldn't afford to lower his guard.

The allied forces were clearly gaining the upper hand. As long as he could stall him, victory on the other battlefields would seal the Hun Clan's defeat.

At that point, even someone at his level would have no hope of escape, facing the combined forces of multiple Eight-Star Dou Saints and other powerful warriors.

"Ahhh!" Hun Tiandi roared in rage, his eyes flashing with violent fury.

He looked around, seeing his Hun Clan troops being pushed back step by step, the situation growing ever more dire. A deep sense of helplessness began to rise within him.

"No! Could it be that I'm truly going to lose today?" He muttered to himself, his voice low and bitter. His fists clenched tightly, nails digging into his palms, blood dripping down.

No! It's not over yet!

There's still time!!!

With his resolve hardened, he suddenly bolted toward Nihility Devouring Flame.

His speed was incredible, turning into a streak of black lightning that tore across the sky, covering thousands of feet in an instant.

"Trying to save someone under my watch? Not that easy!" Gu Yuan snorted coldly.

His figure vanished, reappearing in front of Hun Tiandi in the blink of an eye.

"Damn you! Must you force me into a fight to the death?" He roared furiously, black mist surging wildly around him, his energy flaring out of control.

A terrifying aura exploded from his body, distorting the space around him.

"Burn!" Hun Tiandi muttered under his breath, and his body began to change in a strange

way.

His previously pale skin turned blood-red, as if every inch of it was filled with flowing blood. His deep eyes glowed with a sinister red light, radiating a terrifying killing intent.

At that moment, he chose to burn his own blood essence to temporarily boost his strength.

This method caused severe damage to the body and hadn't been forced upon him for many, many years.

Buzz!

With his blood essence burning, Hun Tiandi's speed soared once more.

He shot toward Gu Yuan in a streak of crimson lightning, his fist enveloped in a terrifying energy vortex.

Boom!

His fist slammed into the golden barrier that Gu Yuan had formed, resulting in a thunderous crash. The golden shield trembled violently, seemingly on the verge of shattering. However, in the next moment, Gu Yuan poured all his strength into maintaining the defense, his Dou Qi surging out and stabilizing the barrier.

The two quickly became entangled in a fierce melee, trading punches and kicks with earth- shaking force. Hun Tiandi fought with reckless abandon, every strike infused with destructive power, forcing Gu Yuan to retreat.

Despite the ferocity of the attacks, Gu Yuan remained calm and composed. He knew that time was on his side, and as long as he could hold out, the coalition forces would secure victory.

Meanwhile, Gu Fei was fiercely battling Nihility Devouring Flame.

'Angry Buddha Lotus Flame' He thought, as a massive, multicolored lotus bloomed in his palm, each petal radiating intense heat.

The heat was so extreme that it distorted the air around it, making it hard to breathe.

The lotus shot towards him, and as it traveled, it created a vacuum in the air.

Nihility Devouring Flame barely managed to summon a black wall of fire in defense, but it was shattered instantly by the lotus.

Thud!

The impact sent him flying, leaving a trail of charred marks in the air.

"Damned brat, how are you this strong?" He shrieked in agony, his already unstable body growing more fractured. Cracks spread across his form, and black flames poured out of him

like a tide.

He was on the verge of death, never expecting Gu Fei to have reached the God Soul Realm

himself.

"Too late for regrets now," Gu Fei sneered, forming another hand seal.

The skies darkened, and a bone-chilling aura filled the air. Black clouds gathered, thunder roaring ominously, as if the cries of countless souls echoed from the clouds.

'Yellow Springs Divine Anger: Rend the Soul' Gu Fei thought, and the scene changed

dramatically.

Countless vengeful spirits and ghosts surged forth from the black clouds, swarming towards

Nihility Devouring Flame. Their faces were twisted in fury, their claws gleaming with chilling light, and their eyes burned with madness and hatred. The spirits shrieked as they descended,

shaking the heavens and earth.

"Ahhhh!!!"
