Chapter 1017: Battle Between the Couples

Somewhere not far away from Qing Hu City.

A man in a black robe and a mermaid were flying side by side.

Their clothes were both in tatters, giving them the appearances of beggars on the streets.

The woman’s smooth, fair skin had been charred black in many places, and her aura fluctuated violently, clearly indicating the fact that she had sustained severe injuries.

“Those bastards! I’m going to tell my father about this, and he’ll avenge me for sure! An Lin and the Four Nine Immortal Sect must pay for what they’ve done today!” The woman gritted her teeth with resentment as fury etched on her face.

That’s right, this was none other than the couple who had escaped from An Lin, Lan Xiaoni and Chen Nan.

Even though Lan Xiaoni had brought out her life-saving treasure during that dire situation, she still sustained severe injuries from the laser cannon blast unleashed by Yao Ji.

Chen Nan wore a thunderous expression. “Let’s set that aside for now. Our top priority is to capture Bai Yao and take her back to the Sea Heart Palace. My Dark Corrosion Divine Flame can only be repressed by her Frosty Yang Root. This is most likely going to be our best opportunity to catch her, so we can’t afford to miss it.”

“Are we still going to capture that b*tch? Chen Hao isn’t with us anymore, and White Fox Imperial Palace is packed to the rafters with mighty figures! Even though most of their forces have been drawn away from the imperial palace by my uncle, there must be more mighty figures that are currently stationed there.”

“With our powers, going to the White Fox Imperial Palace would be a suicide mission!”

Lan Xiaoni was unwilling to take this any further.

They were only two Soul Formation Stage cultivators, and yet they wanted to invade the White Fox Imperial Palace? What a joke!

Chen Nan was also quite conflicted.

If Bai Yao and Xiao Chou really did just hide in the imperial palace, he couldn’t do anything about them.

Right at this moment, Chen Nan’s eyes abruptly lit up with a scorching light.

“Hahaha… I was just stressing over how to capture Bai Yao, but she has turned up on my doorstep! The gods are smiling down upon me!” Chen Nan chortled gleefully, as if he had been struck by some massive happiness.

As flames erupted from his hands, he aimed a scorching gaze at the devastatingly beautiful woman flying toward him.

Bai Yao, this time…

I’m definitely going to take you for myself!

Xiao Chou and Bai Yao’s expressions also shifted minutely upon seeing Chen Nan and Lan Xiaoni.

They had already changed out of their wedding attire. Those were extremely precious clothes to them, so they couldn’t risk wearing them in battle.

Xiao Chou had donned his black crystal armor, and a ferocious might was surging from his body.

Bai Yao had changed into a tight-fitting white dress, which perfectly accentuated her enticing curves.

The two of them slowed down in their flight and began to get a little nervous.

“Little Yao, Lan Xiaoni is a powerful being at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage, and she must be carrying many high-rank artifacts with her. Should we retreat?” Xiao Chou was a little concerned.

Bai Yao shook her head upon hearing this. She had already used an extremely powerful detection technique to assess Lan Xiaoni’s condition, and her eyes lit up with excitement at her findings. “No… Lan Xiaoni is in very bad shape right now! We have a chance!”

Xiao Chou immediately understood what Bai Yao was saying.

It was easy to tell that Chen Nan and Lan Xiaoni had been injured. Chen Nan wasn’t looking too under the weather, but Lan Xiaoni was clearly in an extremely miserable state.

“Little Yao, you pick one,” Xiao Chou offered with a voice that was brimming with absolute confidence.

A faint smile appeared on Bai Yao’s face. “I’ll take Lan Xiaoni and give you the opportunity to avenge me!”

Chen Nan and Lan Xiaoni were infuriated at the sight of Xiao Chou and Bai Yao flying toward them instead of running away.

“How dare they underestimate me? I’ll show them that a starving camel is still bigger than a horse!” Lan Xiaoni let loose a delicate cry, and her fishtail swept through the air to instantly conjure up massive waves that crashed toward her assailants.

Chen Nan also flared up, and he unleashed his Dark Corrosion Divine Flame.

Xiao Chou and Bai Yao, Chen Nan and Lan Xiaoni.

This was the showdown between the two wedding-crashing couples!

The massive waves unleashed by Lan Xiaoni suddenly froze before being broken.

A white blade of ice swept toward her as fast as a bolt of lightning.

Lan Xiaoni hurriedly fell back in retreat to evade the ice blade.

“Ow…” she moaned in pain as she had reopened her wound during her hasty evasion. Blood was gushing forth from her body again.

Bai Yao immediately pressed home her advantage as she wielded a long silvery-white ice saber to carve out a series of lethal trajectories in the air. Each and every one of her strikes was extremely fierce and powerful, creating a strong contrast to her gentle and seductive appearance.

Lan Xiaoni was infuriated. If she weren’t afflicted by severe injuries, she would take care of this Soul Formation Initial Stage b*tch in minutes!

“Chen Nan! Hurry up and finish your battle, then come and help me!” Lan Xiaoni extended a plea for help toward Chen Nan as she defended herself against Bai Yao’s relentless barrage of attacks.

“No problem. Give me just one minute!”

A cruel smile appeared on Chen Nan’s face as he looked at the oncoming Xiao Chou. “I’ll make you understand just how stupid you are for crossing me!”

Boom!

Dark Corrosion Divine Flame exploded forth with the terrifying power of corrosion before quickly converging toward Xiao Chou from all sides.

“Hmph! A mere Soul Formation Intermediate Stage monkey dares to oppose me? My Divine Flame can erode all things! It will burn you to a crisp, you stupid monkey!” Chen Nan clapped his hands together, and the flames completely engulfed Xiao Chou’s body.

A twisted sense of pleasure from killing Bai Yao’s lover welled up in his heart.

“Hahaha, you can go die now! I’ll make sure to take good care of Bai Yao for you.”

Just when Chen Nan thought Xiao Chou had perished to his Dark Corrosion Divine Flame, an even more powerful black flame suddenly began to engulf his own Dark Corrosion Divine Flame.

“What?!” Chen Nan’s eyes widened with incredulity.

He saw another type of black Divine Flame, one that was even purer and more powerful than his…

Xiao Chou’s eyes flashed with golden light as his Dark God Divine Flame surrounded his body, exuding a powerful sense of annihilation and yin energy. He made his way toward Chen Nan as if he were a godfiend emerging from the darkness.

“No wonder… no wonder Bai Muyu would agree to your marriage. You have a pure yin-type Divine Flame as well…” Chen Nan’s expression became twisted with rage and jealousy.

Xiao Chou’s Divine Flame had completely crushed Chen Nan’s sense of superiority.

Chen Nan’s aura soared explosively again as the Dark Corrosion Divine Flame erupted from his body. He launched a huge black flaming fist toward Xiao Chou, leaving a ghastly trail of corrosive energy in his wake.

“Die!”

This time, he had unleashed his full strength.

Xiao Chou had not uttered a single word from the beginning of the battle, as if he were a silent godfiend brimming with killing intent.

He silently donned his Azure Battle Arhat Mask, and his aura instantly soared to the Soul Formation Final Stage. He wielded his silver staff and charged toward Chen Nan without even a single hint of fear.

The Dark God Divine Flame had enshrouded his entire body as if it were the most powerful armor, and he flew directly at the giant Dark Corrosion Divine Flame fist unleashed by Chen Nan.

Boom!

Flames exploded.

Right before Chen Nan’s incredulous eyes, the masked Xiao Chou swept through his attack like a hot knife through butter!

His silver staff flashed through the air with monstrous power before colliding heavily with Chen Nan’s face!

Bam!

The sickening crunch of bones being crushed erupted.

Chen Nan’s face was completely disfigured by the silver staff.

“Pwah!” The vast power behind the silver staff knocked him flying for over a kilometer as blood and shattered fragments of teeth flew from his mouth. His body tumbled feebly to the ground as his eyes completely glazed over, having clearly just had the living daylight knocked out of him.

Xiao Chou descended upon him amid a sea of flames before stepping heavily onto Chen Nan’s body, shattering his organs and forcing another mouthful of blood to gush from his mouth.

A silver staff forced Chen Nan’s face into the dirt.

Xiao Chou spoke his first words since the battle commenced. “It’s over.”
