Joining Forces

The gazes of the two clashed in mid-air, sparking a hint of fire as if an explosion had occurred. Undoubtedly, Li Yi was the only fighter who dared to stare directly at an Emperor, not just anyone, but one of the Emperors in the Tianfeng Empire, or even throughout the entire Martial Deity Continent. Both of their eyes couldn't conceal the killing intent, although this killing intent was extremely inexplicable. After a moment, Hai Xin smiled lightly. After all, he was a person of great identity, and behaving like Li Yi, a junior, was extremely damaging to his face. His gaze then slowly turned to Nalan Qing, saying lightly, "Nalan Qing, you said you found two helpers. I thought they were just some rubbish, but I didn't expect them to be these two... Heh, your insight is quite impressive!"

At this moment, Nalan Qing was also shocked. After Hai Xin spoke a few words, he immediately confirmed the identities of Li Yi and Gong Wushuang. It was not without reason. Many people had already placed them on par with the Seven Emperors of Tianfeng because of the losses suffered by the Martial Deity Temple, the Northern Dipper Sect, and the two Emperors and seven Kings under their command in the Nanjia Mountain Range. Although their identities had not been made public, many people had already placed them on par with the Seven Emperors of Tianfeng because only those with such abilities would dare to do such a thing. Nalan Tianzhe, Nalan Ba, Nalan He, and others were also shocked. Only Luo Ben showed a hint of deep thought on his face. After a moment, he suddenly laughed and said, "Hai Emperor... It seems that there are some problems with your cooperation over there! How about this, you just cooperate with us this time! Kill them, and the things belonging to the Nalan Family ancestors will belong to me. As for the things that little brat got in the Emperor's tomb, they will belong to you, how about it?"

Hai Xin said lightly, "Forget it, the name of the Dark Emperor is well-known. Who among your cooperative partners didn't die miserably? If I were to choose to cooperate, I would rather cooperate with this little guy."

Luo Ben's face darkened, and after a moment, he said lightly, "Hai Xin, then I hope you won't regret it later?"

"Regret?" Hai Xin clapped his hands. "Luo Ben, you and I both know... everyone's purpose in coming here is the same. Although the things belonging to the Nalan Family are important, the identity of the Nalan Family Patriarch is equally important... hehe, just because..." At this point, he couldn't be bothered to continue. He just looked at the Nalan Family members with a playful look in his eyes, his expression strange and inexplicable. After a moment, he looked at Li Yi again, his voice sinking, "Kid, today you and I are on the same side, so I won't take action against you... But after today's matters are over, I will definitely settle the score with you. Do you understand?"

After speaking, he didn't look at Li Yi again. Li Yi relaxed his slightly clenched fists and whispered softly after a moment, "It seems that Hai Xin is not planning to take action against us today..." Gong Wushuang nodded slightly, but she, who had suffered a great loss under Hai Xin, was not relaxed at all.

"However," Li Yi still whispered, "it seems that the Nalan Family ancestors have something good. It's enough to make such a person as the Seventh Emperor interested..." Gong Wushuang was slightly stunned, and after a moment, she whispered, "You don't mean..." Li Yi frowned, "Let's not talk about it for now. Let's deal with the current situation..." Over there, Luo Ben and Hai Xin couldn't reach an agreement, but they just frowned slightly. After that, Luo Ben casually threw Nalan He to Nalan Tianzhe's side. After the ink-black fighting energy on his body fluctuated a few times, Luo Ben finally said coldly, "It seems that Hai Emperor, you are determined to be against me today?"

Hai Xin smiled lightly, "Whether we are against each other or not is still up to you to decide? As long as the Dark Emperor leaves now, where does the question of being against each other come from?" Luo Ben snorted coldly, and it seemed that he lightly stepped on the ground with the tip of his foot. Then his figure disappeared from that spot. Hai Xin lightly exclaimed, "Oh?" However, the azure-colored wings behind him suddenly spread out, and his figure slightly shifted forward. Then, a black flame suddenly ignited behind him, and in a split second, it almost fell onto him. Luo Ben grunted, and although his figure appeared in that spot, he was using the same strange body technique as Luo Qing before. However, it seemed that Hai Xin had already anticipated his actions. With a flick of his right hand, a surge of fighting energy whirlwind had already blown over. Luo Ben's ink-black fighting energy wings trembled violently, and his figure flashed in various directions like flowing flames. However, the whirlwind of fighting energy seemed to have eyes, following his changing directions, like the afterimages left by his figure. At a certain moment, Luo Ben smiled coldly and seemed unwilling to avoid it anymore. His figure suddenly stopped, and his right palm was already raised high, then he fiercely slashed down.

"Boom!" The whirlwind of fighting energy was dispersed by him, but Luo Ben's face seemed a bit ugly. After a moment, he lightly gasped and sneered, "A good move, Invisible Gale." Hai Xin also smiled lightly, "A good move, Yin Wind Slash." However, after the smile, there was a stronger taste of playfulness in his eyes, "Not bad, I can see that compared to the last time we fought, your strength has improved a lot. It's just a pity... the improvement is not yours alone!" Before his voice fell, the fighting energy wings behind Hai Xin once again entwined, and everyone felt a flash before their eyes. One moment, Hai Xin was still on the floating island, and the next moment, his figure was already in front of Luo Ben. Then, a strand of fighting energy wind blade fiercely swept out.

"Shadow Blade!" Luo Ben's face changed slightly, and his hands flew up quickly. But before he could activate his fighting skill, his figure was already struck by a huge force, and where the fighting energy spread, his face changed slightly. Hai Xin's figure did not stop at all, but his azure-colored wings spread out, and his right hand had already flicked lightly. With a few "clang clang clang" sounds, countless fighting energy wind blades swept towards Luo Ben.

At this moment, Luo Ben was already in a complete disadvantage, and no one could have imagined that Hai Xin, one of the Seven Emperors of Tianfeng, would be defeated by Hai Xin in less than a moment! In the dazzling moment when everyone present was dazzled, the originally panicked Yin Emperor suddenly became strangely expressionless. In an instant, it seemed that only one person could sense that strange taste!

"Not good!" Li Yi's eyelids jumped fiercely, and the blood-colored martial energy on his body surged out. The blood-colored martial energy wings behind him were dazzling and shocking. With just a slight flash, his figure turned into a stream of light... Almost at the same time, the martial energy wind blades in the air suddenly turned around and slashed towards the position behind Nalan Qing and Nalan Ba. Luo Ben's figure flashed, but he had already appeared in front of Nalan Qing, who was unable to react in time. A hint of sinister smile appeared on his face!

"So Yin Emperor and Wind Emperor have long been in cahoots!" This voice resounded in the hearts of everyone present simultaneously, but it also indicated that the situation had once again become overwhelmingly one-sided, and this situation was even more bizarre!

"Buzz—" With a loud noise, the originally dazed Nalan Hao and Nalan Hou also almost simultaneously made their moves. Their movements were as if they had practiced thousands of times, all aiming at Nalan Qing's vital points! Nalan Qing roared angrily, the martial energy in his right hand suddenly rotated fiercely, and then exploded towards Luo Ben's forehead, but Luo Ben slightly tilted his head, and with a twist of his right hand, the martial energy blade on his fingertips almost instantly cut through Nalan Qing's clothes. Everything happened... in the blink of an eye... But at this moment, Luo Ben frowned. He instinctively dodged to the side, passing by Nalan Qing, and at the same time, a blood-colored martial energy whip had already brushed past where he had just been. In the next moment, that blood-colored figure had already grabbed Nalan Qing's shoulder, and both figures suddenly expanded, pulling apart most of the distance between them. Luo Ben sneered, not pursuing further. In mid-air, Hai Xin's hands trembled suddenly. After quickly forming a few seals, he shouted lightly, "Seven-Colored Luminous Wind!"

"Swoosh—" Strange gusts of wind swept from him, finally forming several wind waves, sweeping towards Li Yi. At this moment, Li Yi already had the strength of a martial emperor. Naturally, he could clearly perceive the energy contained in the wind blades behind him. He secretly cursed his luck. If given a choice, he wouldn't want to confront either Luo Ben or Hai Xin head-on. After all, they were genuine martial emperor level existences, while his current martial emperor strength was borrowed. Borrowed strength would inevitably be exhausted. At that moment, he would be finished! However, under the current circumstances, he had to take action because Luo Ben and Hai Xin teamed up, plus Nalan Tianzhe, there were three martial emperor powerhouses on the opposite side... If he let them slaughter Nalan Qing and just watched, it would be seeking death. But if he saved Nalan Qing, with him and Nalan Ba holding back, at least there was a slightly higher chance of winning. After all, Nalan Qing's current role was extremely important! However, lamenting aside, it didn't help much with the current situation. Even if he called out to Gong Wushuang, she wouldn't make it in time. Moreover, there were two martial emperor level powerhouses eyeing her at the moment. Seeing that the seven-colored luminous wind was already behind him and there was no time to dodge, Li Yi gritted his teeth and swiftly threw Nalan Qing in the direction where Gong Wushuang was, while his own figure rushed in the opposite direction. However, the action of throwing someone had slowed Li Yi's figure slightly. In almost just a breath's time, the seven-colored luminous wind had reached his back, then suddenly exploded... The glass-colored violent wind burst open like a tornado, instantly sucking all the surrounding Yin Qi into it. Even the omnipresent Yin Qi was shattered at this moment. Li Yi felt a crackling sound all over his body, and the strange aura was entwining around him like maggots, continuously entangling and then breaking through his martial energy defense, rushing in. Just by slightly examining, Li Yi understood that if this situation were to continue, the borrowed power from the Serpent Venerable would soon be exhausted! "What to do!?" At a critical moment of life and death, who would still think about these issues carefully? Almost instinctively, Li Yi's right hand slapped fiercely, a spiral-shaped energy burst out, followed by a flash of lightning, and at the same time, the Soul Breaking Blade in his right hand flew out fiercely, smashing onto the edge of the wind blade tornado. The sky full of tornadoes was broken open by him, and Li Yi's figure stumbled a few times in mid-air. When he finally stabilized, he felt a lingering fear. Just now, if he had reacted half a beat slower, even he would have been undoubtedly dead. When Hai Xin and Gong Wushuang started their hands earlier, Li Yi didn't feel much. He just thought that the martial skills were magnificent. But at this moment, after he directly withstood a martial skill, he realized how astonishing the strength of a martial emperor powerhouse was! No wonder, in a vast country like Tianfeng, there were only seven martial emperor level existences... Perhaps, there should be added a Gong Wushuang and a Nalan Tianzhe now... Over there, Nalan Qing's figure also stumbled a few times, but fortunately, with Gong Wushuang's support, he safely landed on one side of the floating island, and Nalan Ba also rushed over quickly. The three of them settled in one place, and their hearts were a little more stable. However, even so, the current situation was extremely grim... Although Nalan Qing also had calculations, from the current situation, except for the occasional appearance of Li Yi and Gong Wushuang, it seemed that the rest of Nalan Qing's arrangements were quite tragic...
