Chapter 204 She really can’t die, but you must die!

Xu Miaozhen's pupils constricted; her self-detonation had been stopped.

But she quickly realized something was wrong; it seemed neither the young man with the long spear nor the Divine Power Ape had stopped her self-detonation, but rather another unknown force.

The chaotic energy within her, poised for self-detonation, was calmed, and the feeling of being trapped in a quagmire completely vanished.

Besides her, everyone else, including the Divine Power Ape, couldn't move even an inch!

"A Realm expert?!"

"Roar!"

The several people were horrified, and the Divine Power Ape also let out a low growl, its eyes filled with fear.

Both the Divine Power Ape and the man with the long spear were at the invincible level below the King Realm. To easily restrain them to the point of immobility, only a King Realm expert possessed such power!

"A King Realm expert?"

Xu Miaozhen looked bewildered; she didn't know any King Realm expert!

Why would an expert of this Realm save her?

The next moment, she knew the answer.

"She truly cannot die, but you all must die!"

A very familiar voice, a voice so familiar it had echoed in Xu Miaozhen's heart thousands of times, resounded across the sky.

The voice was distant, as if from another world, yet close, as if right beside her ear.

Xu Miaozhen's delicate body suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably.

The figure that appeared in her mind every day appeared in her sight; one moment it was far away in the boundless sky, and before its voice had even faded, it had already flashed before her eyes.

The newcomer was tall and slender, draped in a light green brocade robe, wearing a hollow carved Dragon gilded hair crown, a cloud-patterned jade belt around his waist, and treading on royal silkworm golden-thread cloud-stepping boots.

His aura was mysterious and profound, majestic and solemn, noble beyond words, his splendor overshadowing the entire world.

"Li… Brother Li?"

Xu Miaozhen stared blankly at the face she had longed for day and night, feeling as if the scene before her was as illusory as a dream.

This was the Holy City's Heavenly Spear Domain, hundreds of thousands of miles from the Great Yan Dynasty; how could Li Xuanfeng appear here?

And such a coincidental encounter?

Also, what was with this indescribably terrifying power?

Had he already become a King Realm expert?

"Tsk, quite badly injured!"

Li Xuanfeng ignored the others and scrutinized Xu Miaozhen.

His gaze lingered on the gruesome wound on her waist.

He gently brushed his hand over it, and the lingering Concept power vanished without a trace.

Without external erosion, the powerful vitality of a Shattered Core Realm Cultivator surged, instantly repairing the wound.

Revealing a patch of fair, delicate skin beneath the torn clothing.

"Brother Li, is it really you?"

Xu Miaozhen cautiously reached out her hand, afraid this was just a dying hallucination.

The moment she touched Li Xuanfeng, her nose suddenly stung, and her eyes reddened.

"It really is you…"

"I thought I would never see you again…"

Xu Miaozhen, who never shed tears despite bleeding, her voice choked with emotion.

"If I had arrived a moment later, perhaps I truly wouldn't have seen you."

Li Xuanfeng smiled.

"I… I…"

Xu Miaozhen gazed at him intently, her eyes filled with too many emotions.

"Let's talk later."

Li Xuanfeng gently patted her hand, then turned around.

Whether it was the Divine Power Ape or the several Cultivators, their eyes were filled with deep horror.

To effortlessly freeze two invincible individuals below the King Realm in mid-air, unable to move, such exaggerated means could only be accomplished by a King Realm Cultivator!

Behind Xu Miaozhen actually stood a King Realm expert?

A mere Cultivator from the Land of a Hundred Dynasties, did she also have a King Realm expert backing her?

"Senior, who are you?"

A strange energy surged around the young man with the long spear, trying to break free from the Restriction, but he failed.

Li Xuanfeng couldn't be bothered to answer him.

His gaze merely swept over him, and an invisible force enveloped him.

"Senior, wait!"

"My father is Xu Wangxuan of Xuan Spear City, Senior should know him!"

The man's expression changed, and he quickly reported his family name.

"Never heard of him."

Li Xuanfeng's expression was indifferent.

The power enveloping the man pressed down.

Buzz!

Another fluctuation emanated from the man's body, as if something had been activated, and it actually blocked the pressure for him.

"Son of Xu Wangxuan? As fellow members of the Xu family, why did you send people to hunt me down?"

Xu Miaozhen's voice suddenly rang out.

Before the Grand Competition even began, she had been inexplicably attacked, and had never known who the enemy was, or why they wanted to attack her.

Now this person had reported his family name, and the several people who had been chasing and trying to capture her alive called him Young Master, so the enemy's identity was clear.

But the reason for wanting to capture her alive was still unknown.

The man did not speak; in his opinion, Xu Miaozhen was not yet qualified to speak to him.

"Since you're unwilling to speak, then I'll search your Soul!"

Li Xuanfeng looked at him indifferently.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

The man's expression changed.

"I'm just informing you, not giving you a choice."

Li Xuanfeng extended his hand.

"You, you, you…"

"Senior, you can't do this!"

"You can't kill me!"

The man turned pale with fright.

But Li Xuanfeng ignored him, and power surged forth.

"You dare to lay a hand on me?"

"Who exactly are you? I am a future King Realm expert, a key cultivation target of the Xu family; if you kill me, you will be hunted by the Xu family!"

"The Heavenly Spear Domain is the Xu family's territory!"

"What if you are a King Realm expert? In front of the Xu family, you are still nothing more than a slightly larger ant!"

"Stop now, and you still have a way out!"

The man roared, feigning ferocity.

Since begging for mercy wouldn't work, he could only resort to threats.

Li Xuanfeng's palm sucked, too lazy to ramble, and directly began the Soul search.

"Ah!"

"Father, save me!"

The man let out a scream, and something on his body shattered.

"Who dares to harm this King's son?!"

A phantom condensed out of thin air, glaring at Li Xuanfeng and roaring.

"So noisy!"

Li Xuanfeng slapped out a palm, directly shattering the phantom into dust.

"This King remembers you; I will definitely tear you to pieces!"

Before the phantom dissipated, an angry voice echoed.

"Ah!"

The intense pain from his Soul being torn apart made the man scream uncontrollably.

"You bastard, don't even think about it! I'd rather die than let you search my Soul!"

Knowing that Li Xuanfeng would no longer spare him, the man's Soul power surged, and a certain Restriction engraved deep within his Soul was triggered, about to automatically shatter his Soul into dust.

Li Xuanfeng's expression was calm; with his other hand, he formed a sword with two fingers and made a downward slashing motion towards the man's Soul.

Separation Sword Art!

Crack!

A faint cracking sound seemed to echo, and something was forcibly severed.

"Ho… how is this possible?!"

The man was horrified beyond belief.

The Restriction for Soul self-destruction had actually been forcibly severed and separated?

What kind of terrifying method was this? To be able to prevent someone's Soul from self-destructing?!

A strong sense of unwillingness surged into his heart.

"Ah!!!"

The man was utterly desperate; in his unwillingness, his Soul was forcibly searched and torn apart by Li Xuanfeng.

Scene after scene flashed before Li Xuanfeng's eyes, automatically filtering out irrelevant information.

A moment later, he had learned the reason why the man had sent people to capture Xu Miaozhen.

"He is your Old Ancestor's enemy."

Li Xuanfeng turned around and said to Xu Miaozhen.

"Old Ancestor's enemy?"

Xu Miaozhen was stunned.

Li Xuanfeng directly pointed his index finger at her glabella, allowing her to briefly view that memory.
