Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

```

Boom!

Sword Qi surged forth, proving fatally dangerous to Zhang Tianyi as he fled for his life through the narrow tomb passage.

He couldn't dodge at all, but if he turned back to defend,

he would end up letting Xiao Yi close the distance even more.

He could only use his energy to form an energy shield, constantly blocking Xiao Yi's sword moves.

However, the energy shield was extremely draining to maintain. Once or twice was still manageable, but after several times the speed at which the energy shield could be formed could no longer keep up with the speed of Xiao Yi's sword.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

Several ghastly wounds appeared on Zhang Tianyi's back, from which blood gushed, dyeing his entire back a bloody red.

"Xiao Yi, you're going too far!" Zhang Tianyi roared in rage.

Xiao Yi's face remained expressionless as he struck with his sword, "So I bullied you, what can you do about it?"

"I..."

Zhang Tianyi was so angry he felt like spitting blood.

At this moment...

The only thought in Zhang Tianyi's mind was why he hadn't killed Xiao Yi when he teamed up with Ye Feng. Alas, there are no pills for regret in this world.

He fled all the way.

Finally escaped the ancient tomb.

Seeing light appear ahead, Zhang Tianyi felt a surge of excitement: "To escape... Once I get out of here, without the restrictions of the tomb passage, he won't be able to catch up to me."

"Seize life!"

A cold voice suddenly came from behind, followed by a series of ear-piercing whooshing sounds.

"Not good!"

Zhang Tianyi's complexion changed dramatically, and he quickly placed his long spear behind him.

Clang!

A thunderous boom erupted.

The violent force burst out behind him, creating an immense shockwave that sent Zhang Tianyi flying.

At the exit of the ancient tomb...

Yue Ling'er was healing under a nearby tree when she suddenly heard a loud noise and saw Zhang Tianyi flying out like a kite with its string cut.

Thud!

Zhang Tianyi slammed hard into the ground, not just getting a mouthful of mud but also rolling and crawling dozens of meters away.

But Zhang Tianyi didn't care about his own disgrace.

He rolled and crawled, running wildly toward the distance.

Like a dog that had lost its home!

"This, this is... Zhang Tianyi?" Yue Ling'er blinked, completely baffled.

This was the Eighth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm, the second-ranked person on the Teng Long List of the Tianlan Kingdom!

How had he become so disheveled?

"Could it be that cousin has made a breakthrough?"

Yue Ling'er's eyes shone with hope, thinking that only if Jiang Tai had broken through to the Eighth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm could he have driven Zhang Tianyi to such desperation.

She quickly got up, looking hopefully towards the entrance of the tomb.

But...

The figure appearing before her was not Jiang Tai, but Xiao Yi!

Xiao Yi stood with his sword, frowning as he glanced at Yue Ling'er, "Which way did Zhang Tianyi run?"

"Over, over there..."

Yue Ling'er pointed subconsciously in the direction Zhang Tianyi had fled.

Xiao Yi grunted in acknowledgment and like an arrow shot from a bow, he relentlessly pursued.

"Uh..."

Yue Ling'er stood there baffled, momentarily stunned. Then, she saw the pale-faced Jiang Tai walk out from the tomb. She swallowed and stammered, "C-cousin, was it Xiao Yi chasing Zhang Tianyi just now?"

Jiang Tai nodded, "Didn't you see it? Which way did they run?"

Yue Ling'er: "..."

...

Above the marsh.

Zhang Tianyi ran wildly, changing his position from left to right.

In his wake...

Sword Qi tore through the air, slicing through the marsh, sending black soil splattering into the air. His complexion turned deathly pale due to excessive blood loss, and he caught a glimpse of Xiao Yi in hot pursuit from the corner of his eye.

Zhang Tianyi seethed with hate, "Xiao Yi, let me go, and I'll no longer be your enemy!"

```

Xiao Yi said, "If you stop, I won't kill you!"

Zhang Tianyi shouted angrily, "You don't trust me? I can swear that I will never be your enemy again!"

Xiao Yi said calmly, "I swear too, if you stop, I won't kill you with my own hands!"

Zhang Tianyi was so angry that he was fuming, "..."

Not kill me with your own hands?

If you hand me over to Jiang Tai, that's still death!

Zhang Tianyi could only grit his teeth and flee desperately, his blood dripping down his legs to the ground with every movement, causing the wounds on his back to tear and bringing waves of piercing pain.

But under Xiao Yi's pressure, Zhang Tianyi had no choice but to run for his life!

"I'm close, just past the forest ahead and I can leave this damn secret realm. Once there, with the Great General around, my life will be safe!" Zhang Tianyi thought to himself.

Driven by a strong will to survive, his speed unexpectedly increased even more.

Through the swamp.

Inside the dense forest.

Where the two passed, ancient trees collapsed with loud crashes, pushing straight through, carving a wide path through the dense forest.

Finally arriving at the edge of the forest, the exit of the secret realm was right before his eyes.

Zhang Tianyi was so excited he was near tears; the desperate flight had been far too tormenting. With tears in his eyes, he laughed loudly, "Xiao Yi, the exit of the secret realm is right ahead, you can't kill me! Hahahaha, when I get back, I'm going to spread the word about you. Then, there will be more than just me trying to kill you! You're done for, no one can save you..."

Xiao Yi's face was expressionless: "Blood Explosion Skill!"

Boom!

Once again burning off twenty percent of his blood, the fourth level of the Blood Explosion Skill, his strength soared forty-fold, and his speed surged as he and Zhang Tianyi raced towards the exit of the secret realm...

......

Outside the secret realm.

Gu Junhe, Zhou Yuan, and other mighty figures at the peak of the Golden Core Realm sat distinctly around the entrance of the secret realm.

Suddenly...

Several figures opened their eyes and looked towards the exit of the secret realm: "Someone's coming out!"

"Who could it be?"

"Ye Feng?"

"Zhang Tianyi?"

"Jiang Tai?"

The eyes of the figures grew fervent, along with a trace of anxiety.

The reason they had handed over this secret realm for the younger generation to trial, was because the top figures were closely matched and none wished to fight to the death, allowing others to benefit from their dispute.

After opening up this realm, they allowed the younger generation to contend within it.

Whose descendant seized the Martial Dao Divine Fruit, their camp would claim the victory!

Zhou Yuan wore a confident look: "It must be Ye Feng... gentlemen, the Martial Dao Divine Fruit will belong to me!"

"Hmph, that's not necessarily the case; it could be Zhang Tianyi," said Wu Yu confidently.

Among the younger generation of powerhouses who entered the secret realm, Zhang Tianyi of the Eighth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm was the foremost contender, and he was utterly confident!

At that moment...

The entrance to the secret realm buzzed brightly as Zhang Tianyi burst out from it.

"Hahahaha, indeed, it's Zhang Tianyi; gentlemen, the Martial Dao Divine Fruit is mine to take!" Wu Yu said triumphantly, his face flushed with excitement as he laughed and walked toward Zhang Tianyi.

But just then.

Zhang Tianyi, with a look of terror, shouted, "Great General, save me!"

"Huh?"

Wu Yu was stunned, and then he saw Xiao Yi, his body covered in blood light, brandishing the Fire Qilin Sword and chasing after him.

"Life-taking!"

Xiao Yi thrust out with his sword.

Wu Yu's face turned pale, and he roared, "You fiend, stop right there!"

He wanted to intervene, but it was already too late.

Thump!

The sword struck hard on Zhang Tianyi's back. Zhang Tianyi spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. Xiao Yi leapt up and stepped on Zhang Tianyi.

The cold sword blade was against Zhang Tianyi's neck.

"Stop!"

Wu Yu's face turned grim, his eyes shining with a ferocious light, he gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Yi, let go of Tianyi now. Think carefully about the consequences if you plunge that sword. Let him go, kneel and apologize, and I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, you will become the public enemy of Tianlan Kingdom!"

In Wu Yu's view...

He was a towering figure at the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm, and the commander of the Tianlan Kingdom's three armed forces.

Xiao Yi surely wouldn't dare oppose his will.

However...

Xiao Yi's sword gently slid across, and with a soft thud, he decapitated Zhang Tianyi. Then, looking up at Wu Yu, he asked, "You were saying... what would be the consequence of this sword strike?"
