Zhu Xincheng’s eyes were fixed firmly on Ge Lao’s figure.
When Pang Bobing mentioned poisoning her, scenes from tens of millions of years ago once again surfaced in her mind.
Back then, the old bastard had not been cross-eyed. He had a thick head of hair and carried himself with remarkable grace.
In terms of appearance, he was almost on par with Ye Yu.
But after the old bastard rescued her, his complexion had turned pitch-black.
Only then had his appearance begun to change drastically.
At that time, all of Zhu Xincheng’s attention had been focused on Li Mu’s death. She had not paid any attention to the old bastard at all.
Later, she had stubbornly believed it was retribution catching up to him.
That was why he had become so hideously ugly.
But now, upon suddenly hearing Pang Bobing speak of poison, Zhu Xincheng could not help but let her thoughts run wild.
Could it be that there had been something the old bastard had never spoken of?
Before Zhu Xincheng could think further, Ye Yu came racing over. From his Storage Ring, he took out several divine pills.
Their grade was not high, but they were sufficient for emergencies.
"You do not seem to be Pang Bobing’s opponent right now. Is there any way to take Ge... the old bastard with us?"
Hearing Ye Yu’s question, Zhu Xincheng could not help frowning as she casually swallowed the divine pills.
Just as Ye Yu had seen earlier, in her injured state, she truly was not Pang Bobing’s match.
And with Hua Junshuang at peak Ancient God Realm added to the mix, the advantage was genuinely not on their side.
Pang Bobing and Hua Junshuang’s intentions were obvious. They only wanted to seize Ge Lao.
It had to be admitted that although the old bastard was not exactly faithful in matters of the heart, his artifact-forging skill was publicly acknowledged as number one in the God Realm. His network of connections was beyond imagination.
If Hua Junshuang succeeded in controlling Ge Lao, the benefits they would gain would be incalculable.
Under such circumstances, if Zhu Xincheng wished to leave by force, it would not be too difficult.
Aside from the outer barrier, she would face almost no obstruction.
But Ye Yu’s meaning was very clear. He wanted to take the old bastard along!
If she were honest with herself, Zhu Xincheng truly hated the old bastard. But to stand by and watch him die here with her own eyes?
She could not do it.
The old bastard had done many wrongs, but Zhu Xincheng knew very clearly that even until death, her mother had still loved him!
That was also the real reason why, even after stepping into the Divine Lord Realm, Zhu Xincheng had not slain the old bastard.
After pondering for a moment,
Zhu Xincheng transmitted her voice inwardly, "Northwest direction. Be ready to receive!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu immediately agreed. Without slowing down, he sped toward the northwest.
A battle at the Divine Lord Realm level was not something he could participate in.
So at this moment, self-preservation was extremely important.
Zhu Xincheng’s figure flashed as she dashed toward Ge Lao.
Seeing this, Pang Bobing immediately swung the moon blade in his hand to block her path!
But Zhu Xincheng seemed utterly determined. She neither dodged nor avoided, prepared to forcibly take Ge Lao away.
"Die!"
Pang Bobing roared as the moon blade in his hand split into two streaks of light, slashing down in a double-cross strike.
The immense power caused the surrounding space to begin shattering!
But in that instant,
Zhu Xincheng’s figure rapidly shrank, turning into a blazing sun the size of a fist.
Under the streaking moon blades, it was instantly sliced apart!
There was no joy on Pang Bobing’s face. His pupils suddenly widened.
That was not the true body!
In the next second, a scorching sensation erupted from behind him!
A resplendent great sun descended from the heavens, smashing Pang Bobing deep into the ground!
Such an attack looked terrifying.
But to think it could kill Pang Bobing outright would be nothing more than wishful thinking.
In the blink of an eye, the blazing sun shattered completely.
Pang Bobing’s figure was disheveled as he looked upward.
Though the battle between them had lasted only an instant, it was enough time for Zhu Xincheng to accomplish much.
For example, throwing Ge Lao away!
Zhu Xincheng struck Ge Lao two inches above the heart with a single punch.
Leaving behind a streak of golden light, she intended to use it to delay Hua Junshuang’s occupation of Ge Lao’s divine soul.
Then she flicked her sleeve, sending Ge Lao speeding toward the northwest!
Ye Yu, who had long been prepared, caught him with one hand and shouted, "Open!"
Zhu Xincheng stood in place, pressed her palms together, then slowly pulled them apart to the sides!
The ghost-god barrier was torn open with a massive gash.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yu rushed out with Ge Lao!
Even if Pang Bobing wished to remedy the situation, it was already too late.
So he could only attempt to chase after them immediately.
But Zhu Xincheng blocked his path.
"Let us settle this! The hatred from back then—it is time to repay it!"
Before her words even fell, blazing flames ignited around Zhu Xincheng.
A great sun gradually emerged, driving back the darkness and illuminating the area like broad daylight!
Her gaze was incomparably resolute.
This time, she was no longer that fragile six-year-old girl!
Mother, I will avenge you!
Even if her current condition was already near °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° its limit, even if she were to fall here, she would not hesitate!
Pang Bobing stomped the ground in pathological fury.
He raised his hand and pointed viciously at Zhu Xincheng.
"You little brat, though I do not know why you did not die from the poison back then, since you are seeking death now, I will certainly fulfill your wish!"
The battle between the two was on the verge of erupting.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Ye Yu carried Ge Lao as he sped forward.
In just about ten breaths, they had already traversed a million li and arrived beneath an unfamiliar divine mountain.
After sensing no abnormal aura pursuing them from behind,
Ye Yu intended to settle Ge Lao here for the moment and figure out how to force Hua Junshuang out first.
Otherwise, once she completely occupied Ge Lao’s divine soul, he would be in real danger!
Thus, after arriving at a cave, Ye Yu immediately looked at Ge Lao.
With just a single glance, his eyes instantly became crystal clear.
At some unknown point, Ge Lao’s ugly face had completely disappeared. In its place was Hua Junshuang’s visage.
Those soul-stirring eyes were staring at him with a playful gaze.
Ye Yu felt his mind buzz.
He had clearly seen with his own eyes that when Zhu Xincheng grabbed Ge Lao earlier, she had struck him above the heart, had she not?
Why was it completely useless?
Was this a joke?
Hua Junshuang looked at her wrist, still being held by Ye Yu, and said softly, "Boy, are you not going to let go?"
"Of course!"
Ye Yu decisively flung Hua Junshuang’s wrist away and retreated backward.
"Actually, there is just a small misunderstanding between us. I see you are quite busy. You can stay here and continue. I will take my leave. If fate allows, we will meet again!"
