Chapter 196: This Punch Will Be Very Cool

"Immortal Emperor!"

Wu Yifan's heart sank to rock bottom. He clearly hadn't expected it to be an Immortal Emperor, and most shockingly, it was an Immortal Emperor from the Blood Soul Gate. The Blood Soul Gate's attire was naturally etched into the very marrow of Wu Yifan's bones.

However, Wu Yifan was very curious. Weren't the people pursuing him from the Lin Family? Why was it a Blood Soul Gate Elder?

In the next second, Wu Yifan got his answer as Lin Tianen appeared before the Blood Soul Gate Elder.

"Lin Family Head, I didn't expect you to have actually defected to the Blood Soul Gate."

Wu Yifan looked at Lin Tianen, his expression filled with murderous intent. If he could have spared the Lin Family's lives before, it was now absolutely impossible to forgive them.

After all, the Blood Soul Gate had caused such immense damage to the Upper Realm. If the Upper Realm's forces found out about this, he probably wouldn't even need to act; other powers would be desperate to strike first and wipe out the Lin Family.

Hearing this, Lin Tianen's eyes turned blood-red. The killing intent in his gaze as he looked at Wu Yifan was no less than the killing intent Wu Yifan had for him.

"This is all your fault! If it weren't for you, my Lin Family wouldn't have joined the Blood Soul Gate. Therefore, you must die!"

As the words fell, Lin Tianen intended to move first to slay Wu Yifan. In his view, as long as Wu Yifan died, the matter of his Lin Family joining the Blood Soul Gate would not be known by other forces.

Just as Lin Tianen was about to strike, the Blood Soul Gate Elder stopped him.

Lin Tianen's eyes were full of incomprehension, but he didn't expect the Blood Soul Gate Elder to speak directly.

"The one hiding in the shadows, come out."

"Hmm? He discovered me?"

Wu Hao, hiding in the shadows, was somewhat surprised. He was just passing by and happened upon Wu Yifan's situation, so he had come over with the mindset of watching a show. He just didn't expect the Blood Soul Gate person to actually discover him.

Thinking of this, just as Wu Hao was about to reveal himself, Li Zhengran, who was hiding on the other side, appeared. Only then did Wu Hao realize that the other party wasn't calling for him.

But it made sense. Although his Realm was only at the Immortal Emperor Middle Stage, the Heavenly Emperor Myriad Dao Scripture was no trash Cultivation Technique. Its concealment function was simply too good; let alone an Immortal Emperor, even a God might not necessarily discover Wu Hao's presence.

After Li Zhengran appeared, Wu Yifan's expression also changed slightly.

"Elder Zhengran."

Li Zhengran nodded slightly, then looked at Lin Tianen and the Blood Soul Gate Elder in the next second, his tone extremely calm.

"I didn't expect you people from the Blood Soul Gate to still dare to operate in the Upper Realm. Are you not afraid that we, the Five Great Holy Lands, will join forces once again to deal with your Blood Soul Gate?"

"And you, Lin Family Head, to actually dare to join the Blood Soul Gate. You have already fallen into the Demonic Path; there will no longer be any place for your Lin Family in the Upper Realm."

"Shut up, shut up! My Lin Family was on the verge of extinction, about to be wiped out by you people from the Archaic Barren Holy Land. My Lin Family was merely seeking self-preservation, what's wrong with that! If the Righteous Path would destroy me, then entering the Demonic Path is not out of the question!"

Lin Tianen looked at Li Zhengran with an extremely furious expression. At this point, how could he not see that Wu Yifan was from the Archaic Barren Holy Land? Moreover, his status was not low, even warranting an Immortal Emperor's protection.

Li Zhengran just shook his head slightly. Pitiable people often have hateful qualities. This was Lin Tianen's choice, so they could only choose to respect it and then personally send everyone from the Lin Family down to the afterlife.

"I have already contacted the Holy Lord and the others. I'm afraid the Holy Lord and the rest will arrive very soon. If you leave now, it might still be in time."

Li Zhengran's tone was extremely calm, as if he were completely indifferent to everything before him, but in reality, Li Zhengran was panicking inside.

He could sense that he was fundamentally not a match for the Blood Soul Gate Elder before him. All he could do was bluff the opponent to make them leave. As for contacting the Holy Lord, although he had, even if the Holy Lord was at the Immortal Emperor Late Stage, it would take some time to rush here.

Before then, he wasn't sure if he could hold out.

And right at that moment, the Blood Soul Gate Elder burst into loud laughter.

"Then you'll have to see whether your Holy Lord arrives first, or if I finish you off first and then take this Ancient Desolate Dao Body behind you with me!"

After the Blood Soul Gate Elder finished speaking, he intended to directly take Wu Yifan away. This was an Ancient Desolate Dao Body; if he could take it back, it would definitely be a huge help to the Saint.

At the same time, Wu Hao, hiding in the shadows, sensed the auras not far away and sighed helplessly.

Wu Yifan was the Destined Child; Wu Hao was certain he wouldn't die, but he wasn't sure about Li Zhengran and Duan De. Given the current situation, unless Li Zhengran fought to the death, he wouldn't be able to last until Li Pangtian arrived.

Thinking of this, Wu Hao spoke in the next second.

"Enough!"

As Wu Hao's words fell, everyone stiffened. Wu Yifan's eyes brightened even more, looking toward the direction of the voice with full expectation.

The Blood Soul Gate Elder's face was filled with utter shock. Clearly, he hadn't expected there to be another expert. One must know he was at the Immortal Emperor Peak; even another at the Immortal Emperor Peak shouldn't be able to hide in his vicinity, right?

Lin Tianen and Li Zhengran had solemn expressions, not knowing if the newcomer was friend or foe. In the next second, upon seeing it was Wu Hao, Wu Yifan and Li Zhengran's expressions were full of excitement.

Wu Yifan naturally knew of Wu Hao's strength. As for Li Zhengran, he had also witnessed Wu Hao's power previously. Although he didn't know what Realm Wu Hao was in, dealing with the Blood Soul Gate Elder before them should be more than enough.

In the next second, Wu Hao appeared before Wu Yifan. After the Blood Soul Gate Elder felt Wu Hao's aura, his expression became extremely ugly.

Unfathomable—this was his only perception of Wu Hao. Standing before Wu Hao even gave him the illusion that Wu Hao was more powerful than his own Sect Leader. But how could that be? His Sect Leader was due for Ascension in ten thousand years.

But now was not the time for hesitation. When there was only Li Zhengran, he could have killed Li Zhengran in an instant and taken Wu Yifan away. After all, if an Ancient Desolate Dao Body could be absorbed, he might even be able to become a God.

Now that Wu Hao had appeared, even he had no certainty. If he were stalled by Wu Hao and Li Pangtian and the others arrived with the Ancient Desolate Bell, even he would have to pay a heavy price to leave this place.

Thinking of this, the Blood Soul Gate Elder turned to flee, but since Wu Hao had already stepped out, he wouldn't let him leave.

"Thinking you can have designs on my Great-Grandson and still leave alive? Dream on!"

As Wu Hao's words fell, in the next second, Wu Hao looked at Wu Yifan and spoke.

"Watch this punch closely! It's going to be very cool!"
