Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 555 - Assassination Ambush
```
That day.
After separating from Qinchuan,
Mei Qian'er and Li Kaitian concealed their forms and headed south towards Divine Demon Island.
They didn't know how long they had flown, but finally, the two arrived at the island.
"That's... Chunyu Xiu!" Hidden in the shadows, Mei Qian'er suddenly spotted Chunyu Xiu, who bore a deep-seated hatred with Thousand Fox Mountain, arranging the Great Formation on the island.
The two of them didn't act immediately, but instead stayed hidden from a distance.
Finally, as Jiang Yan passed on information, Chunyu Xiu and his people activated the Great Formation.
This was when Mei Qian'er and her companion struck like thunder. Chunyu Xiu's entire attention was focused on the Heaven-Sealing World-Destroying Great Formation, never expecting a surprise attack.
With a full-force sneak attack, coupled with Li Kaitian's existence as an emperor for tens of thousands of years, even though Chunyu Xiu was the reincarnation of Chunyu Yan, he was instantly heavily injured.
Mei Qian'er, Li Kaitian, and Chunyu Xiu, three Great Emperors, erupted in a terrifying battle in this place. In the end, because the two had injured Chunyu Xiu first, he was jointly suppressed by them.
As for the people from the four great caves, since they only had Quasi-Emperors defending, taking down the Heaven-Sealing World-Destroying Great Formation was even simpler.
Thus, everyone took over the formation with ease.
Everyone defended the formation with all their might, and at first, faint glimmers of light were visible in this realm—terrifying energies released in the battle.
But after several days, the Great Formation returned to calm, no divine light or energy bursting forth, yet Mei Qian'er and the others still hadn't received signals from Qinchuan to withdraw the formation.
And just as everyone was perplexed, an anomaly occurred.
"Swoosh, swoosh..."
Two sounds of something tearing through the air rang out.
Two green arrows sliced through the void, suddenly appearing and aiming a sneak attack at the pair.
The green arrows were too fast; Mei Qian'er and her companion had just heard the piercing sound.
Immediately following, Mei Qian'er felt a sharp pain in her left arm and then her entire left arm exploded.
The other arrow pierced through Li Kaitian's chest, shattering the mountain peak behind him as it exited his body.
Luckily, Li Kaitian had a strong physical body, which prevented him from being blown up on the spot.
Then, a woman who seemed to be stepping on clouds emerged from the void.
With the slanting sunlight casting shadows, a scene of tranquility unfolded as the woman appeared like an ethereal immortal, standing lightly in the void.
Dressed in white, with her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, her face was covered with a hazy veil, and her eyes were as cold as ice, void of any emotion. She exuded an extraordinary and detached demeanor, as if untouched by the mundane world, her presence cold as frost and snow, creating an aura that kept others at a great distance.
Even though her face wasn't clear, it was evident she was as flawless and beautiful as a celestial being.
Even the Fox Clan's Mei Qian'er, who was always proud of her beauty, felt dull in comparison.
In her hands, she held a green long bow, three feet tall, with flowing light and a faint silver luster. Great Dao Rune Patterns circulated around the bow, sacred and pure.
It was an extraordinary Magical Treasure.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"
Mei Qian'er coughed up blood, asking angrily.
"Where is Divine Demon Island? Who currently holds the Spiritual Pearl?"
The woman in white didn't answer Mei Qian'er's question but instead asked her own.
Her indifference was overwhelming, her voice incredibly cold, as if freezing ten thousand miles with frost and ice, seemingly chilling the entire world.
One could hardly imagine such a fairy-like woman could be so heartlessly cold.
The two of them were startled, realizing this woman had also come for the Bronze Stone Coffin.
"Hmph, don't expect to get any information from us,"

Mei Qian'er sat cross-legged, channeling her imperial qi, attempting to heal her arm.
But then she realized a terrifying energy was contained within the wound on her left arm, continuously destroying her physical body.
```
"You needn't speak if you're unwilling; after I've slain you, I can search at my leisure!"
The woman in white spoke indifferently, her tone light and dismissive.
As she spoke, she gripped her long bow, drawing the bowstring back.
As the bowstring was drawn, the atmosphere around pulsated with Dao Magic, with the Great Dao coalescing on the bowstring.
A green feathered arrow took shape upon the bowstring.
"Buzz!"
The green feathered arrow trembled as if it had a spirit of its own, emitting a soft hum autonomously; though it was formed of Dao Magic, its power was immense, a terrifying energy concentrated at the tip of the arrow.
"Swish!"
Without a hint of hesitation or doubt, she truly didn't care whether Mei Qian'er would share the information with her.
As long as she could quell the two of them, she could learn everything she needed to know.
The arrow shot from her hand like a terrifying divine light, cleaving through the void and disappearing into the spatial rift, aimed directly for Mei Qian'er's brow.
The moment the girl in white released the first arrow, the ambush had left both of their targets grievously wounded.
Mei Qian'er, harboring no small amount of reluctance, believed had it not been for the other's sneak attack, she could've stood a chance in direct combat.
But now, as the girl in white stood before her, bending the bow and concentrating Dao Magic into an arrow shaft, she realized her mistake.
The instant the arrow was aimed at her, a terrible fear rose from the depths of her heart, a trembling of the core that serves as an automatic warning of danger since becoming a Great Emperor.
The one arrow the opponent had formed managed to evoke within a Great Emperor a fear of being entirely unable to fight back.
"I can't defend against this arrow!"
"I can't even escape it!"
The arrow flew from the woman's hand, and Mei Qian'er watched wide-eyed as the green feathered arrow tore through the void, hurtling toward her brow.
"Am I going to die?!"
On the brink of death, one's thoughts become exceptionally active, and for a Great Emperor like Mei Qian'er, this was especially true.
In just that brief moment, the tens of thousands of years of her life flashed before her eyes.
She looked towards Chunyu Xiu's corpse in the distance. Thankfully, she had succeeded in avenging the Thousand Fox Mountain's thirty thousand years of enmity, putting an end to their looming threat.
Next, her gaze came to rest upon an exposed female corpse beside Chunyu Xiu.
The corpse bore an eight-tenths resemblance to her; at first glance, they appeared as close as sisters.
That was her daughter, Mei Lin'er, who hadn't come to her senses during the battle with Chunyu Xiu and stood by his side, only to be quelled by her own hand.
Finally, the image of Qinchuan surfaced in her mind.
Qinchuan had appeared suddenly at Thousand Fox Mountain, not only lifting the age-long Seal from Thousand Fox Cave but also imparting the Great Dao, enabling her breakthrough to Great Emperor, and turning Ling Yu'er into a Quasi-Emperor.
This had allowed Thousand Fox Mountain to recover from the dread of Chunyu Xiu's retaliation.
All of this, thanks to Qinchuan.
"What a pity, I am about to die now, never again will I be able to serve Young Master Qin..."
In that split second, as quick as lightning and firestone, her mind raced with a multitude of thoughts.
And as the green light drew closer, she gave up all resistance, closed her eyes, and quietly awaited death's embrace.
Suddenly.
"Ding!"
A crisp collision sound rang out before her.
Right at that critical moment, a blood-colored spear burst from afar, breaking open the void and deflecting the green arrow.
"Let's see who dares to harm this young master's people."
