Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Death seemed to transform into a massive hand that shrouded Fang Qingzhu beneath its palm.

Darkness, despair, and coldness came from all directions, like walls of despairing boulders, pressing down on the hearts of Xiao Yi and Fang Qingzhu.

Once bitten by the third beast,

It would certainly mean certain death.

"No… no…"

Xiao Yi suddenly erupted in a thunderous roar, and the blood light that enveloped him erupted like a volcano, surging tumultuously. Waves of terrifying blood-red energy swept across, fully activating the Blood Explosion Skill to its limit.

All of his blood!

Xiao Yi had actually burned all the blood in his body.

This was a mad, suicidal move.

But for Fang Qingzhu…

Xiao Yi had no choice!

With a tenfold increase in strength and speed, Xiao Yi managed to pull his hands free, violently grabbing the third beast's two tiger claws.

Then, he twisted them outwards.

Pop, pop!

Two streams of blood burst forth, and Xiao Yi forcefully snapped off the tiger claws, causing the third beast to howl in agony and its body to tremble violently. The saying 'every finger feeling the heart's pain' wasn't just about humans; it applied to beasts just as well.

At the moment the tiger claws were snapped off, the third beast's body also came to a sudden halt.

Xiao Yi grabbed the beast's sharp claws with both hands and, with a crack, brutally broke them, blood dripping over the jagged white bones.

The intense pain made the third beast's expression savage as it howled: "Human, go to hell!"

Its sharp fangs turned viciously towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi's body flickered as he flipped onto the third beast's back, tightly grasping its ear with his left hand. Meanwhile, his right hand formed into a fist, and amidst swirling red energy, he pummeled the beast's head with punch after punch.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

No matter how sturdy the third beast's skull was, under Xiao Yi's iron fists, blood surged.

"Oww…"

The third beast shrieked repeatedly.

Trying to use its tail, claws, and even wild thrashing to throw Xiao Yi off its back.

But Xiao Yi just kept ripping out its fur by the handful, bloody skin, flesh, and hair tearing away inch by inch. He had burned too much blood, and his consciousness grew increasingly blurry.

He suddenly opened his mouth wide and bit down hard on the beast's neck.

Ow…

The third beast's body shuddered, trembling and struggling even more frantically.

Xiao Yi instinctively kept devouring the blood in the beast's body, the gulping noises making the third beast feel like the grim reaper was beckoning: "Save me… Big brother, second brother… my master…"

"Third brother…"

"Damn you, let go of the third…"

The eldest and the second Flying Heavenly Demon Tigers changed color in shock, never expecting the seemingly victorious third beast to fall into such wretchedness.

But as they wanted to intervene to help the third beast, Jiang Tianchen and the others held them tightly in place.

Preventing them from freeing themselves to help.

In the moment of life and death.

Xue Mantian suddenly snorted coldly, his face turning iron blue: "Useless wastes, struggling against such trash, yet they still require my personal intervention?"

Whoosh!

Xue Mantian pointed a finger.

Hum!

That finger, compressed with pure energy, instantly turned into a streak of light, shooting straight towards Xiao Yi.

"Xiao Yi, be careful…"

Seeing this, Fang Qingzhu's face changed dramatically as she stretched out her arms and threw herself in front of Xiao Yi.

Boom!

The blood-colored pillar instantly engulfed Fang Qingzhu. Amidst a loud noise, her body trembled, and blood sprayed from her mouth, splattering all over Xiao Yi's face.

The nearly unconscious Xiao Yi jolted as his eyes regained some lucidity.

In that instant of clarity.

Xiao Yi saw Fang Qingzhu spewing blood, struck by the pillar and flung away, her familiar figure flying horizontally before him, with her scalding blood landing on his face.

"No, no…"

Xiao Yi's hoarse voice let out a desperate roar.

He unleashed his final power.

With a sudden reach of his right hand, his vital energy surged like a spring, turning into a ribbon that coiled around Fang Qingzhu's waist, pulling her into his embrace. At the same time, his left hand reached out, and the Fire Qilin Sword, belching red flames, flew back from afar.

Man and sword as one!

"Die!"

Hum!

A sword slashed down, heavily landing atop the head of the third brother.

Splat...

Blood sprayed in the air.

The massive head of the third brother of the Flying Heavenly Demon Tigers was directly cleaved off by Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi, holding Fang Qingzhu, tumbled to the ground, rolling over several tens of meters, desperately protecting her. Struggling to maintain his will, he looked at Fang Qingzhu in his arms,"Qing, Qingzhu... are, are you okay?"

"Xiao, Xiao Yi..." Fang Qingzhu, with trembling hands, tried to wipe the blood from the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth.

But no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't reach Xiao Yi.

Her injuries were simply too severe!

Xiao Yi felt the life force within him continuously slipping away, and memories of his life filled his mind.

Before he was eight, although not valued by his family, at least he had his mother.

Then he was imprisoned for ten years.

During those ten years, he saw neither sun nor moon.

Even his mother left him.

It wasn't until he was sent to the Fang Family by his father and elder brother, reduced to a lowly son-in-law, that he met Fang Qingzhu.

Aside from his mother, she was the first person who truly cared for him, who entered his heart.

But now...

"I'm sorry... I, I couldn't fulfill my promise, couldn't protect you..." As Xiao Yi spoke, fresh blood uncontrollably flowed out.

"Xiao Yi, meeting you has been the most fortunate thing in my life!" Fang Qingzhu said with a smile, shaking her head, but the bloodied pale face made one feel even more heartbroken.

"What a pathetic couple, full of love, but alas, you have actually caused the death of my war beast, you all must die!"

Xue Mantian's voice suddenly resonated in their ears.

Xue Mantian was seen striding through the sky, with a cold and gloomy face, reaching out with both hands.

"Don't even think about harming my students from Tianqi Martial Arts Academy!"

"Are my people of Tianqing Kingdom something you can kill at will?"

Gu Junhe, Jiang Tianchen, and an elder from the Jiang Family all made their moves.

Two figures, comparable to the Tao Tribulation Realm, along with the elder from the Jiang Family, withstood Xue Mantian's earth-shattering blow.

But the expressions of the three were extremely ugly.

Xue Mantian squinted, "A bunch of ants dare to block my path? Die!"

Hum!

Xue Mantian pointed his finger to the sky.

Countless vital energy surged like an ocean, gathered into a huge, cold finger, and with a loud boom, shot towards the group.

The elder from the Jiang Family, surrounded by dragon shadows, cried out, "Tianqing's protection!"

Roar!

Numerous vital energy formed into a dragon shadow, spanning in front of everyone, but against Xue Mantian's attack, the Azure Dragon illusion only paused for a moment before shattering into pieces. With a loud bang, the elder from the Jiang Family was sent flying.

Blood spurted from his mouth, his breath weak as a thread.

Xue Mantian, surrounded by a flow of blood energy, commanded, "Kill!"

The leader and second brother of the Flying Heavenly Demon Tigers transformed into demon gods, leaving behind a trail of decapitated heads and rivers of blood wherever they went.

Jiang Tai was bitten on the arm by a Flying Heavenly Demon Tiger, ripping the limb clean off.

Niu Dali's abdomen was pierced by the sharp claws of the tiger.

Even the four brothers from the Shi Family, uniting their strength, were still blown away with a palm strike, their bones completely shattered.

The Black Dragon Cavalry under Li Qing's command, despite their formidable power against the Tao Tribulation Realm's monstrous beasts, were smashed to pieces. Li Qing himself was impaled atop his steed.

Tragic!

Bloody!

Watching helplessly as one powerful being after another died in front of him to protect him, Xiao Yi's eyes were completely stained red with blood.

"Feels quite desperate and helpless, doesn't it?"

Xue Mantian's voice echoed in his ears as he walked on air, easily knocking away any strong being who dared to block him. With a ferocious laugh, he reached out towards Xiao Yi and Fang Qingzhu, "This is the fate of those who provoke Xue Yilou!"
