Chapter 345: Critical Situation

Chapter 345: Critical Situation

Boom!

With the final Lightning Tribulation falling, the phantoms around Zhang Jie merged into his body, and Zhang Jie's Realm was completely stabilized at Immortal Emperor Peak.

However, before Zhang Jie could react, he sensed something and abruptly threw a punch forward, which collided with the punch of the appearing Blood Emperor.

In an instant, Zhang Jie's arm exploded into a mist of blood, and even Zhang Jie himself was sent flying. When he came to a stop, his expression was extremely ugly as he looked at the Blood Emperor.

"I didn't expect the dignified Blood Emperor to actually use such sneak attack tactics."

Hearing this, the Blood Emperor just helplessly shrugged and said,

"Winner takes all; only those who survive are kings, so you should be on your way!"

After saying this, the Blood Emperor appeared in front of Zhang Jie again, not holding back, aiming for a one-hit kill to send Zhang Jie off.

Zhang Jie's expression was also extremely ugly. If the Rebellious God Bell were still there, he might have been able to persist for a while against the Blood Emperor, but the Rebellious God Bell had already been taken by Li Tianxie. How could he possibly be a match for a God?

Even so, Zhang Jie did not intend to sit and wait for death. He flicked his right hand, and an Immortal Emperor blade appeared, intending to fight the Blood Emperor to the death. But just then, a figure appeared in front of Zhang Jie, holding the Time-Space Clock, and steadily blocked the Blood Emperor's punch.

This punch hit the Time-Space Clock, and the Blood Emperor also felt his hand ache. After retracting his hand and retreating a distance, he looked at Lu Ren, who had completed his Breakthrough at the critical moment, with an extremely ugly expression.

He did not expect that Lu Ren would complete his Breakthrough under these circumstances; he was clearly just a step away from finishing off Zhang Jie.

However, even if Lu Ren saved Zhang Jie, it wouldn't change much. In other situations, if Zhang Jie lost an arm, he could grow it back instantly, but since it had been blasted apart by his own attack, it couldn't be regrown in a short time.

With an arm missing, Zhang Jie couldn't make any impact on the battle.

"You finished your Breakthrough so quickly?"

Zhang Jie looked at the suddenly appearing Lu Ren, his expression somewhat shocked.

But Lu Ren did not turn around; instead, he stared fixedly at the Blood Emperor in front of him, his expression extremely ugly. He hadn't expected the Blood Emperor's strength to be this powerful. Although he had blocked that punch just now, the impact through the Time-Space Clock had still caused him minor injuries, and he felt terrible all over now.

"I don't know how long they will need. Forget it, for now, we can only do our best to delay for some time until they complete their Breakthroughs."

Lu Ren's expression was extremely ugly, and at the same time, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Penglai Immortal Island, hoping that Wu Hao would intervene.

But it was clear that Lu Ren was overthinking it. With Wu Hao's lazy personality, unless it was a matter of life and death, he would never intervene.

Just as Lu Ren turned to look at Penglai Immortal Island, the Blood Emperor suddenly attacked, a long blade appearing in his hand, slashing towards Lu Ren.

Seeing this, Lu Ren hurriedly blocked, but the tremendous power still inevitably caused him minor injuries through the Time-Space Clock.

"Old Lu, I'm here to help you!"

After saying this, Zhang Jie immediately used one hand to wield his blade and provide assistance from the side.

This naturally reduced the pressure on Lu Ren quite a bit, but similarly, it also made the Blood Emperor look at Zhang Jie on the side, planning to find an opportunity to finish Zhang Jie off first, but he hadn't expected to be blocked by Lu Ren.

"Your opponent is me, don't get distracted! Time Reversal!"

Following Lu Ren's shout, in the next second, a cyan light erupted from the Time-Space Clock, enveloping the Blood Emperor before he could react.

The Blood Emperor only sensed that the time on his body was constantly flowing backward, at a terrifying speed of one year per second. If this trend continued for a year, the Blood Emperor would revert to the Half-Step God Realm.

Thinking of this, the Blood Emperor hesitated no longer. Scarlet blood Qi enveloped his long blade, and he slashed towards Zhang Jie not far away. The most important thing was to finish Zhang Jie off first so he wouldn't interfere with his battle against Lu Ren.

Otherwise, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to kill Lu Ren in a short time, and if Li Pangtian and the others completed their Breakthroughs, the situation would become even worse.

"Blood Demon Slash!"

The Blood Emperor slashed at Zhang Jie with all his might. This strike carried tremendous pressure, causing Zhang Jie's footsteps to pause.

A powerhouse of this level could turn the entire tide of battle with a single strike.

In an instant, this strike reached Zhang Jie.

"No!"

Zhang Jie looked desperate, but in the next second, the Time-Space Clock appeared in front of Zhang Jie, blocking the strike.

However, the immense power did not completely dissipate. Zhang Jie was sent flying by the Blood Demon Slash through the Time-Space Clock, falling to the ground, life or death unknown.

And the Blood Emperor's plan didn't stop there. The second after Lu Ren sent the Time-Space Clock to protect Zhang Jie, the Blood Emperor had already quietly arrived in front of Zhang Jie.

"What! Oh no!"

Lu Ren's hair stood on end. He only had time to take out an eighth-grade Immortal Emperor shield to protect his back, but it was still useless against the Blood Emperor's strike. The eighth-grade Immortal Emperor shield only held for three breaths before shattering.

Although Lu Ren had cast several Immortal Emperor techniques to protect himself within those three breaths, he was still sent flying by the Blood Emperor's strike, suffering significant injuries on the spot, his Immortal Emperor blood spraying into the air.

"Damn it, is it just going to end like this?"

Lu Ren's expression was extremely ugly, but he was still waiting, waiting for Wu Hao to intervene. He believed that Wu Hao would absolutely not sit idly by.

After all, his daughter had married into the Wu Family, so from the very beginning, Lu Ren had viewed this as a test, a test of his own strength.

It was just that Lu Ren hadn't expected that he would only be able to persist to this extent.

Just as the Blood Emperor was planning to strike while the iron was hot and finish Lu Ren off, he sensed two murderous auras appearing behind him. If he didn't block, he would likely have to pay a significant price.

Without any hesitation, the Blood Emperor could only turn and slash to block the two attacks. Lu Ren seized this opportunity to quickly put distance between himself and the Blood Emperor and retrieved the Time-Space Clock.

"I didn't expect you two to complete your Breakthroughs so quickly."

The Blood Emperor looked at the two figures who had previously attacked him; it was Qin Zijun and Jun Xiaoyao, who had successfully completed their Breakthroughs at this critical moment.

The two of them had extremely solemn expressions. After reaching Immortal Emperor Peak, they could feel the gap between themselves and the Blood Emperor even more. It was no exaggeration to say that if it were a one-on-one fight, neither of them had the confidence to get the better of the Blood Emperor.

Not to mention that the Five Elements Bell and the Chaos Bell were no longer with them.

Nowadays, they could only hope that Li Pangtian on the other side could complete his Breakthrough as soon as possible. Currently, only Li Pangtian, after reaching Immortal Emperor Peak and with the added bonus of the Ancient Desolate Dao Body, would have the strength to fight the Blood Emperor.

Thinking of this, Jun Xiaoyao just gave Qin Zijun and Lu Ren a look. They immediately understood what Jun Xiaoyao meant and attacked the Blood Emperor simultaneously, all to buy some time for Li Pangtian.

Once Li Pangtian completed his Breakthrough, that would be the time for them to reverse the situation.
