Peerless War God

The strength that Yi Yun and Marquis Zi Jin revealed during the battle was truly shocking. He had no room to interfere at all.    

If he were to forcefully intervene, the consequences would be unpredictable. If he angered Yi Yun and was killed, it would be very bad.    

Clearly, if Yi Yun were to forcefully protect Li Zhan, he would not be able to change anything.    

In the end, he was still lacking in strength. He could only watch helplessly.    

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought that even an existence closest to the Immortal Realm would be so powerless when facing such a strong person."    

Xiluo comforted him and said, "Brat Chen Xiao, get your spirits up. Don't belittle yourself. It was not easy for you to reach where you are today. Ordinary people would not even dare to think about it. Yi Yun, this old fellow, has lived for god knows how many years. It is only natural that he is stronger than you. Remember, time is on your side."    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao felt a bit better.    

"Thank you, Xiluo."    

Xiluo pursed his lips. "There's no need for us to say all this."    

"That's true." Chen Xiao said with a serious expression, worried, "If this continues, Li Zhan will definitely become a disaster if he is not eliminated."    

Xiluo was somewhat helpless and said, "This is also something that can't be helped. The person Yi Yun wants to protect, you can't kill."    

Chen Xiao said with a sigh, "That's right. You are right. I can't do anything. I can't force Big Brother Zihong to take the risk. That's not good."    

"Hehe, it's good that you have thought it through." Xilo heaved a sigh of relief.    

Chen Xiao nodded and did not say anything else. He only stared at the two people fighting fiercely in midair.    

Boom!    

With a loud bang, the terrifying sword beam tore through the space, shattered the ground, and stirred up everything in the area. The two of them lit up their protective light at the same time as they retreated quickly.    

The Marquis of the Purple Gold Hall staggered and fell to the ground. He used his hand to stab the sword into the ground, creating a long sword mark. Only then did he stabilize his body.    

Chen Xiao immediately pounced forward and supported the Marquis of the Purple Gold Hall.    

"Big Brother Zihong, are you alright?"    

"Big Brother Zihong, how do you feel?" Heavenly Star Sword Master rushed forward as well, his eyes filled with worry.    

At the same time, he stood in front of the two of them and glared at Yi Yun, who was not far away, with a cold expression.    

If there was anything wrong, he would make a move.    

"Pfft."    

The Marquis of the Purple Gold Hall could not catch his breath and spat out a mouthful of black blood. His face turned as pale as a sheet of paper, and his aura weakened immediately.    

"Big Brother Zihong."    

Chen Xiao became more anxious when he saw this.    

The Marquis of the Purple Gold Hall smiled faintly and said indifferently, "Don't panic. I'm still alive. I'm fine. It's just that I was injured. I'll be fine after recuperating for a few days."    

"But..."    

Chen Xiao was about to say something, but he held back in the end. He did not say anything more. Now was not the time to talk about this.    

Yi Yun was still there, and that was the greatest threat.    

"Grand Elder, how are you?"    

Li Zhan's face was filled with shock as he hurriedly went forward to support Yi Yun.    

Yi Yun was a little angry. His eyes were almost spitting fire as he glared at Marquis Zi Jin fiercely. He felt helpless, but he immediately felt relieved. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Forget it."    

Li Zhan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Could it be that he was about to give up on him?    

He suddenly looked up at Yi Yun with a terrified look.    

Yi Yun saw this and scolded, "Useless thing. What are you worried about? Since the old me said that I will protect you, I will keep my word. Hmph."    

"Yes, yes. I naturally believe the words of the Grand Elder." Li Zhan heaved a sigh of relief and felt a wave of fear.    

Yi Yun's casual words just now had indeed frightened him.    

With the current situation, he had formed a death feud with Chen Xiao. He had also offended two experts, Marquis Zi Jin and Heavenly Star Sword Supremacy. If Yi Yun did not protect him, he would definitely die.    

No matter what, he had to hold onto Yi Yun's thigh.    

"Heh." Yi Yun laughed contemptuously and did not say anything more. He took out a golden pill and stuffed it into his mouth as he quickly began to treat his injuries.    

Only then did he feel a little better.    

However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had suffered a loss. In order to protect Li Zhan, he did not hesitate to fight with Marquis Zi Jin. He had even risked his life, and he had even been injured. He probably had to recuperate for a period of time.    

However, he had already bragged, so he had no plans of giving up halfway through.    

At that moment, Marquis Zi Jin regained his composure as he shouted, “As expected of the Immortal Artifact Sect’s Great Elder. Your strength is extraordinary. I am extremely impressed.”    

With that said, the tension between the two sides eased a little.    

“Hmph, Zi Jing, I have underestimated you. I have gained a lot from today’s battle,” Yi Yun replied in a much warmer tone.    

What Marquis Zi Jin said was obviously to give him face. He had to take it seriously and find a way out.    

For the sake of Li Zhan, he did not wish to fall out with Marquis Zi Jin. It was not worth it to fight to the death. The price was too high.    

“I have gained some insights as well,” Marquis Zi Jin replied.    

Following that, there was a period of silence. They did not speak again.    

Both of them did not like each other, but they could not do anything about it. At that moment, they could only remain silent.    

If they were to tear apart this thin layer of paper, it would not be good for anyone.    

After a moment, Marquis Zi Jin’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Li Zhan and asked coldly, “Yi Yun, do you really want to protect him?”    

“Yes, why not?” Yi Yun retorted with a sneer.    

Upon seeing this, Li Zhan’s heart was in his throat. He was extremely afraid.    

After a pause, Marquis Zi Jin said expressionlessly, “If you take him away today, we will be enemies from now on.”    

"Enemy?" Yi Yun raised his eyebrows in surprise.    

To an Immortal Realm long-lived powerhouse, the word 'enemy' was very important.    

Even he had to be very careful when dealing with enemies.    

These words came from Marquis Zi Jin's mouth. It was not light.    

His expression was a little ugly. This was Marquis Zi Jin's bottom line, and also a form of threat.    

After thinking for a moment, Yi Yun sneered and said, "Today, I will definitely take this person away."    

Marquis Zi Jin was not surprised. He nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. The next time we meet, we will be enemies. I will remember it in my heart."    

Yi Yun's face was gloomy and ugly. He was a little angry.    

"Zijing, you are making an enemy out of me for the sake of a brat who has just entered the Immortal Realm, what are you trying to do?"    

"Heh, I am not trying to do anything, because he is my brother." Marquis Zi Jin said with a calm expression.    

"You..."    

These words left Yi Yun speechless. He did not know how to answer for a moment, and could only stand there stiffly.    

Marquis Zi Jin said again, "If something happens to Yi Tianren, you will also make a move, right?"    

Yi Yun took a deep breath. He knew that Marquis Zi Jin's words made some sense. It was not good to refute, so he did not say anything more and turned to leave.    

"Li Zhan, let's go."    

"Yes, Great Elder."    

Li Zhan responded and turned to glance at Chen Xiao. His eyes were filled with hatred and killing intent.    

Then, the two of them quickly left.
