Chapter 348: Chaotic Battle

"They have their battle, you have your battle, and your battle is with me."

Wu Qilong stood in front of them, his expression extremely calm.

Perhaps Wu Qilong's strength was not equal to Li Pangtian and the Blood Emperor, but holding off Xue Yuan and the others was more than enough.

Upon seeing Wu Qilong, the expressions of Xue Yuan and the others became extremely grave; they naturally sensed Wu Qilong's terror—a True Dragon, with a Bloodline even showing signs of transforming into a Divine Dragon, coupled with a cultivation base on the verge of breaking through to the God Realm.

Perhaps he could not fight thirty at once, but he could certainly hold them off.

"Attack together!"

Xue Yuan shouted angrily. As his words fell, the surrounding experts of the Blood Soul Gate did not hesitate and charged toward Wu Qilong.

Seeing this scene from not far away, Lu Ren and the others had faces full of worry. After all, Wu Qilong did not look like he had broken through to the God Realm yet; could he really manage to fight thirty people?

Just then, a figure appeared beside them and said slowly.

"Rest assured, although the Old Ancestor cannot kill thirty people, he can certainly hold them off."

"Who are you?"

Zhang Jie asked, somewhat confused.

"The Wu Family, Wu Qitian."

Wu Qitian smiled and said, then looked into the distance and said slowly.

"Prepare yourselves; there are more enemies than just these."

Looking in the direction Wu Qitian indicated, one could see that all the Demonic Path forces in the entire Xuanyuan Realm that had been subjugated by the Blood Soul Gate were rushing here to participate in this battle.

Except for the Blood Cloud Sect.

Seeing this, Lu Ren and the others instinctively wanted to stand up and join the battle, but their heavily injured bodies left them without even the strength to rise.

"Damn it, are we just going to watch helplessly as everything happens?"

Zhang Jie angrily struck the ground with one hand, while Wu Qitian, standing beside them, unhurriedly took out four Medicinal Pills and placed them in their hands.

"My grandfather asked me to give these to you; swallow and refine them quickly."

Before Wu Qitian set off, Wu Hao had given him four Medicinal Pills. These were genuine Divine Pills; even an Immortal Emperor on the verge of death could recover completely in an instant with the help of this pill.

Hearing this, the gratitude Lu Ren and the others felt toward Wu Hao deepened, and after taking the pills, they swallowed and refined them immediately.

As the pills entered their bodies, in just an instant, Lu Ren and the others sensed a terrifyingly pure power rapidly spreading through their bodies. Every place touched by this power recovered instantly.

Therefore, in just a few breaths, Lu Ren and the others recovered to their Peak state. Even Zhang Jie's severed arm recovered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, soon returning to normal.

Having witnessed the power of the Medicinal Pills, the awe Lu Ren and the others felt for Wu Hao reached a new level.

At this moment, Lu Ren recalled something and slapped his own head in annoyance. This scene startled Zhang Jie and the others, who couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Old Lu, did the pill make you stupid?"

"No, it's not that. It's just that the situation was urgent, and I forgot one thing."

Lu Ren slowly shook his head. The situation had been urgent, and he had instinctively summoned the Time-Space Clock, forgetting the betrothal gift Wu Hao had previously given him: the Ember Extinction Mystic Pearl.

The moment Lu Ren took out the Ember Extinction Mystic Pearl, the expressions of Zhang Jie and the others changed. With their discernment, they could naturally tell that the Ember Extinction Mystic Pearl in Lu Ren's hand was an existence even more powerful than a Ninth Grade Immortal Emperor Artifact—in other words, it was a Divine Artifact!

After taking out the Ember Extinction Mystic Pearl, Lu Ren immediately gained confidence. If not for seeing Li Pangtian and the Blood Emperor fighting so intensely, he would have been unable to resist rushing into the fray himself.

He could not unleash the full power of the Time-Space Clock, but he could exert most of the power of the Ember Extinction Mystic Pearl.

"Senior, leave them all to me!"

On Wu Qilong's side, although Xue Yuan and the others could not defeat him in a short time, in the long run, Wu Qilong would undoubtedly be defeated.

The moment he clashed with Xue Yuan and the others, Wu Qilong regretted it. If he had known they were all this strong, he wouldn't have tried to show off.

So, upon hearing Lu Ren's words, Wu Qilong seized the opportunity, used a True Dragon tail swipe to force Xue Yuan and the others back, and then spoke.

"Since this Fellow Daoist insists, then I will leave them to you. Otherwise, given my strength, they certainly wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer!"

Wu Qilong said with a serious face. If not for his slight injuries and disheveled appearance, Lu Ren and the others might have actually believed him.

After Wu Qilong retreated, Lu Ren looked at Xue Yuan and the others and snorted coldly.

"You were very smug just now, weren't you? In that case, come and fight me again!"

As Lu Ren's words fell, the next second the Ember Extinction Mystic Pearl flew out, directly pulling Xue Yuan and the others into it. After taking Xue Yuan inside, Lu Ren's figure also entered the Ember Extinction Mystic Pearl.

Just as Lu Ren activated the Ember Extinction Mystic Pearl, the Blood Emperor's expression became extremely grave. He naturally sensed that the Ember Extinction Mystic Pearl possessed a grade similar to the Divine Artifact in his own hand.

This meant that Lu Ren's side also possessed a Divine Artifact.

"This won't do; I must finish off Li Pangtian as soon as possible."

The Blood Emperor's expression appeared extremely grave, and in the next second, he did not hesitate to sacrifice a blood-red bead from within his body.

The moment the blood-red bead appeared, countless blood energies surged from it and merged into the Blood Emperor's body.

With the enhancement of the blood bead, the Blood Emperor's Realm broke through from the Early Stage of the God Realm to the Middle Stage of the God Realm in one fell swoop.

However, the Blood Emperor's expression looked extremely grim. If not absolutely necessary, he would not have been willing to use the blood bead. After all, the Messenger had once told him that excessive use would damage his Foundation and affect future cultivation. Otherwise, he would have used it from the very beginning.

Even on the day he went to war with the Five Great Holy Lords, it was only under duress that he had used the blood bead.

Upon the use of the blood bead, Li Pangtian immediately felt the pressure increase. He could barely contend with an Early Stage God, but a Middle Stage God meant crossing a whole Rank.

The Blood Emperor suddenly threw a punch. The terrifying power caused the Azure Dragon and the others, who were fighting not far away, to stop in unison, forced to use all their power to resist the shockwave.

But even so, they were still pushed back, showing that the power of a God is far greater than that of an Immortal Emperor. Even Zhang Jie and the others looked grave; they had not expected the Blood Emperor to be so powerful that even the shockwave alone nearly overwhelmed them.

"In this situation, can Old Li be a match for him?"

Zhang Jie and the others could not help but look at Li Pangtian, their eyes filled with worry.

But even in this situation, there was no cowardice on Li Pangtian's face; in fact, his Battle Intent was vaguely even stronger than before.
