Chapter 567: Chapter 567: You Dare Touch My Son?!

"Who dares to bully a disciple of the Taiyuan True Saint?!" A voice filled with authority and dominance boomed from the massive shadow, "Immediately perform seppuku here to atone, and our Taichu Sacred Land will not implicate your clansmen, otherwise, I will make sure your entire nine tribes are annihilated, leaving no trace!"

Xuan Daozi snorted coldly, "Even a Spirit Body of a Saint dares to boast wildly."

If his Saint Dao Origin had not been destroyed in that world-shaking battle, a mere True Saint Spirit Body could be obliterated with a flick of his wrist, not even warranting a glance.

"Even with just a Spirit Body, it’s more than enough to suppress an ant like you." The Taiyuan True Saint’s Spirit Body spoke coldly, "Saints cannot be insulted. Disrespect me, and perish!"

External Spirit Body, an extraordinary skill possessed only by Saints. Although a Spirit Body cannot fully unleash all powers, it possesses some of the Origin Power of its master, which is far beyond what the Heavenly Realm can contend with!

With that, the Taiyuan True Saint’s Spirit Body raised its palm, directly striking at Xuan Daozi.

After taking a direct hit, Xuan Daozi was shaken and retreated several meters, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"Old man, with just this skill, you dare to challenge our Taichu Sacred Land?" Bai Ye Chu wiped the blood from his lips, grinning sinisterly, "Today, you will surely die with no burial place!"

Other disciples from Taichu Sacred Land laughed wildly as if already seeing Xuan Daozi fall at the hands of Taiyuan True Saint, faces full of vengeful delight.

And the Taiyuan True Saint’s Spirit Body was full of mockery, "Turns out you’re just an ant, dare to hurt my disciple. Before I kill you, I’ll first strangle your disciple alive before your eyes, letting you feel this taste!"

Saying this, his indifferent gaze fell on Chen Xiao.

In that instant, Chen Xiao felt as if Death was staring at him, a chill running from head to toe...

"Old man, we’ve got the Fire Dragon Ball, let’s find a way to leave this place." He whispered.

Xuan Daozi’s expression was unprecedentedly solemn, the gap between Heavenly Realm and Saint Realm was too immense. Escaping from beneath the eyes of a True Saint was practically impossible.

A Saint Realm expert already possesses Heavenly Dao Saintly Power within, capable of destroying a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist with a mere gesture, and the Saint Dao Origin was destroyed in that world-shaking battle. To regain Saint Dao power, he can only forcibly burn all his Essence Blood!

But after burning the Essence Blood, he will undoubtedly die...

Finally, he took a deep breath and looked at Chen Xiao, taking out a rune, his tone calm, "Little one, use this Sky Travel Talisman to leave here."

The Sky Travel Talisman is an extremely rare lifesaving magic treasure, allowing the user to instantly move hundreds of miles away, though it takes some time to activate.

However, by burning the Essence Blood, he should be able to hold off the opponent for a moment, enough for the Sky Travel Talisman to take effect.

Chen Xiao’s heart trembled, he asked, "What about you?"

Xuan Daozi didn’t respond to this question, just said plainly, "Make sure to hand over the Fire Dragon Ball to your father."

Seeing him like this, Chen Xiao suddenly felt a bad premonition. Before he could react, Xuan Daozi directly affixed the rune onto him!

Chen Xiao felt a peculiar force slowly penetrate into his body through the rune, his body became ethereal, and everything before his eyes gradually blurred...

Xuan Daozi forced a smile, hesitated slightly, then still reached out to pat his head, "My mission as a Protector ends today."

"Kid, the road ahead now depends on you."

Having said that, he stepped forward into the air.

"Old... elder, what nonsense are you talking? If we’re leaving, we’re leaving together!" Chen Xiao’s eyes widened in an attempt to stop Xuan Daozi, but his entire body was firmly restrained by the Sky Travel Talisman.

"Stop crying like a wimp!"

Xuan Daozi knocked on his head, "All men have their time to die, whether lighter than a feather or weightier than Mount Tai. I, Xuan Daozi, as a Protector of the Sun Saint Clan, die for you, the Saint Heir, not a loss."

"Even if you become the Holy Master of our Holy Clan in the future, you must still call me master!"

"Remember this!!"

"You are the only descendant possessing the pure Holy Emperor bloodline in our Sun Saint Clan for thousands of years. From birth, you were destined to bear a heavy burden, to restore the glory of our Sun Saint Clan, and avenge those clansmen who sacrificed themselves because of you..."

"You must not die in such a desolate place!"

Meanwhile, Taiyuan True Saint squinted his eyes, sneering coldly, "For the Sky Travel Talisman to take effect, it requires at least half a quarter of an hour, during that time, I can kill you a hundred times!"

Xuan Daozi didn’t reply, only his eyes sharpened, and his elderly body suddenly straightened up, his grey hair visibly whitening, yet his aura surged extremely...

"Old man, you’re crazy, stop!" Chen Xiao trembled all over, his heart wrenching painfully.

Although Xuan Daozi was quite troublesome, he was raised by Xuan Daozi and long regarded him as a grandfather. Now, Xuan Daozi was burning all his Essence Blood, sacrificing himself just to give him a chance to survive!

How could he accept this?

"Holy Power! It’s actually Holy Power!"

"This old thing is also a Saint?"

Everyone from the Three Ancient Royal Families, Xuantian Sect, including Taichu Sacred Land had their eyes tightened!

Xuan Daozi, turned out to be a Saint. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"You can actually use the power of the Saint Dao?" Taiyuan True Saint’s voice was full of astonishment, then he sneered, "Not right! You were indeed a Saint before, but you’ve clearly suffered severe injuries."

"Forcefully burning Essence Blood is just a temporary measure; in the end, you cannot escape death! Moreover, if I forcibly destroy the Sky Travel Talisman before it takes effect... then this little guy will still perish here, and you will die too!"

"Then let us try." Xuan Daozi spoke indifferently.

Taiyuan True Saint snorted coldly and reached out his hand again!

Xuan Daozi took a deep breath and also struck out a palm!

In an instant, the aftermath spread wantonly, the surrounding earth cracked under this power...

"Kill!" Xuan Daozi’s eyes were full of fierce killing intent. After burning his Essence Blood, he briefly regained the power of the Saint Realm, fighting Taiyuan True Saint to a standstill.

The battle between them directly cracked the sky, with collisions causing thunderous booms.

Taiyuan True Saint sneered, "If you hadn’t suffered severe injuries, I wouldn’t be your opponent! But you are just a Fake Saint now, how can you compare to me?!"

With these words from Taiyuan True Saint, Xuan Daozi’s aging body was blasted away!

"Cough, cough, cough—" He spat out mouthfuls of blood, his breath weakened, and he became even older, like a candle in the wind, teetering on the brink...

"Master!" Chen Xiao shouted, heartbroken.

His body gradually became illusory... The Sky Travel Talisman was about to take effect, and he could only watch as Xuan Daozi fell before him.

This extreme pain and helplessness seemed to tear his heart apart!

"Master, that guy is about to be transported away by the Sky Travel Talisman, he absolutely cannot escape!" Bai Ye Chu hurriedly spoke to Taiyuan True Saint.

Taiyuan True Saint smirked disdainfully, "He won’t escape. I just need to destroy this rune, and today he can only stay here to be slaughtered!"

As he spoke, he appeared directly in front of Chen Xiao, casually pointing, and the Sky Travel Talisman on Chen Xiao shattered under his finger, the surrounding glow instantly dimming...

Sky Travel Talisman, destroyed.

Xuan Daozi’s pupils constricted!

Then, Taiyuan True Saint directly formed a giant hand, grasping Chen Xiao’s entire body!

"Crack! Crack!"

Immense crushing power came, causing Chen Xiao to scream out in agony...

"Kid, blame your bad luck for opposing my Taichu Sacred Land; to die by my hands is your honor, so many people don’t have this fortune." Taiyuan True Saint said coldly.

Suddenly!

A Sword Qi pierced through the sky.

A very ordinary Sword Qi.

However, it seemed to merge directly into the void, instantaneously coming before Chen Xiao, exploding the giant hand holding him!

"Who?"

Taiyuan True Saint’s pupils contracted, "Dare to intervene in my affairs, seeking death, are you!"

However, the next second, another Sword Qi came to kill.

Unable to avoid, the Spirit Body’s arm was directly severed.

Taiyuan True Saint sweating profusely, trembling all over, urgently retreating away from Chen Xiao.

Who is it, so terrifying?

He hadn’t felt the fluctuation of the Sword Qi at all!

At this moment, a white-clad, white-haired figure appeared ghostly before Chen Xiao, a cold voice slowly sounding, "A Spirit Body of a First-rank Saint, an ant-like waste, who gave you the courage to touch my Chen Wushuang’s son?!"

Everyone’s heart trembled!

Saint... an ant-like waste?

The visitor, what a big tone!

But when Xuan Daozi saw the newcomer appear, he breathed a sigh of relief, "You kid, really know how to time it... If you were a step later, my precious son would have been finished here."
