"Old Bai, you can't defeat both me and Shan'er by yourself. Stop now, or you'll ruin our years of friendship!" The Yellow Emperor said, frowning.
The White Emperor narrowed his sword-like brows and retorted, "Nonsense! If you don't stop, how can I? If I stop now, your seal will crush me into a meat patty!"
Zhao Lingshan frowned and said, "Husband, don't waste your breath on him. Subdue him first!"
"Hmph! The Emperor is speaking; what business do you have here, woman? I'll take care of you first!" The White Emperor turned his body, ignoring the Yellow Emperor's attack, and directly engaged Zhao Lingshan.
The Yellow Emperor was concerned for his wife's safety, which made him hesitant in his actions.
As a result, the situation rapidly shifted, with the White Emperor gaining the upper hand.
Zhao Lingshan's expression changed dramatically as she shouted behind the White Emperor, "Li Xiaonan! Hand over my daughter and that little brat!"
The White Emperor was taken aback and cursed inwardly: What is that brat doing out here? Is he trying to make things even more chaotic for me?
He couldn't help but turn around, only to find a ghost behind him! Where is Li Xiaonan?
Oh no! I've been tricked!
By the time the White Emperor realized he had been deceived by Zhao Lingshan, the Yellow Emperor's golden seal was already upon him.
The golden seal suddenly expanded several times its size, shining brilliantly as it slammed into his back, forcefully knocking the White Emperor to the ground and kicking up countless clouds of dust.
The sky cleared up; it was still blue, and the clouds remained white. However, the white cranes by the lake had mysteriously vanished, leaving an air of loneliness.
The White Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood, his figure gradually becoming blurred.
As the swirling dust began to settle, a massive silver-furred wolf collapsed to the ground.
Its mouth was slightly ajar, crimson blood flowing from its sharp fangs onto the earth. Despite its pitiful state, it could not conceal the regal aura that lingered in its eyes.
The Yellow Emperor sighed and shook his head. "Old Bai, don't blame me for being ruthless. I warned you, but you wouldn't listen..."
"Hmph... Enough with the nonsense. If you have the guts, kill me and see if you can bear the sin of exterminating an emperor!"
Zhao Lingshan raised an eyebrow and sneered, "White Star Soul, you really think too highly of yourself. Among the Four Emperors, only you refuse to establish your own power. Even if we kill you today, we won't have to worry about any retaliation."
A glimmer of gold flashed in the White Emperor's eyes as he replied, "Is that so? Then go ahead and try. Let's see if my master will return from the divine realm and annihilate you all!"
The Yellow Emperor frowned slightly. "Old Bai, do you think we're three-year-olds? If your master truly became a god, would you still be here alone for a thousand years?"
He shook his head and glanced at Zhao Lingshan. "Shan'er, I'll leave White Star Soul to you. I've already destroyed his foundation; from now on, only three emperors will remain in the celestial realm. Whether or not to spare his life is up to you."
He slowly turned away, unwilling to look at the White Emperor's miserable state. He knew well Zhao Lingshan's temperament.
Anyone who had offended her never ended well.
Zhao Lingshan drew a dagger, its blade gleaming with a cold white light, much like her smile at that moment.
She licked her lips and looked at White Star Soul with a cold grin. "Hmm, my dear husband, this silver fur is truly beautiful. How about I take it off and make it into a cushion for you?"
The Yellow Emperor furrowed his brow, unwilling to linger for even a moment longer, and said, "Remember to bring Li Xiaonan back."
Zhao Lingshan nodded, a cold smile spreading across her face as she plunged the dagger into White Star Soul's body.
With a muffled groan, the silver pupils of White Star Soul gradually lost their luster, clearly devoid of any strength to resist.
"It seems I stabbed in the wrong place; it should be... right, starting from the belly!" Zhao Lingshan laughed even more joyfully as she withdrew the dagger, preparing to probe into White Star Soul's soft abdomen.
Suddenly, the wind picked up.
The sky darkened once again, and the earth seemed shrouded beneath a black curtain.
Dust was lifted by the wind, making it difficult to see anything through the Flying Sand and Running Stones.
"Smack!"
A loud slap landed on Zhao Lingshan's face.
She fell to the ground in shock, covering her face and staring blankly at the empty surroundings.
The Yellow Emperor couldn't help but frown as he extended his consciousness outward, finding no trace of anyone nearby.
"What? After beating up my people, you think you can just leave? Is my presence really that insignificant?" A figure slowly approached from a distance, seemingly followed by something that hopped along behind.
The Yellow Emperor's heart raced as he fixed his gaze on the suddenly appearing Li Xiaonan, while his consciousness clearly informed him that there was no one in front of him!
Li Xiaonan glanced at the White Star Soul lying on the ground.
Its silvery fur hung limply, with only a slight rise and fall of its abdomen proving that it was still alive.
Damn! It really is a big wolf dog!
As the saying goes, one must consider the owner when dealing with a dog!
How dare you touch my dog! No, my wolf! Just wait and see how I make you suffer!
Li Xiaonan's gaze coldly swept over Zhao Lingshan, who was kneeling beside the White Star Soul.
He frowned and said coldly, "Stay away from my little Bai, get lost!"
With that, he waved his right hand, and the air around him suddenly contracted, transforming into a palm that struck Zhao Lingshan's face hard, sending her flying.
Yellow Emperor exclaimed urgently, "Shan'er!" He quickly flew over to catch her in his arms, noticing her left cheek swollen high, blood trickling down from the corner of her mouth.
Li Xiaonan mocked, "Oh! Now you know how to feel sorry! When you were beating up little Bai, why didn't you think about me?"
He walked over to the White Star Soul, crouched down, and gently stroked its soft fur.
Beneath the fur lay a chaotic mess of energy just like his own before; even worse, the White Star Soul's Dantian seemed to have been devastated like a building after an earthquake, utterly destroyed.
Even the emperor of the celestial realm is no different; immortals cannot escape being human; in the end, they will die.
Only the divine is immortal, eternal, and all-powerful.
The White Star Soul's hollow silver eyes flickered as it looked at Li Xiaonan and asked, "Has the Divine Body Pill taken effect? Are you alright?"
Li Xiaonan frowned slightly and replied softly, "Don't speak, Little White. You should rest for now; leave the rest to the boss."
The White Star Soul's pupils constricted as it struggled to lift its head, gently touching Li Xiaonan's hand with its straight nose. "You... you called me Little White? You... you are the boss?"
Li Xiaonan smiled lightly and said, "I don't even know if I'm your boss, but that Stump said so, so I guess it must be true."
He slowly stood up and flew toward the Emperor Couple high in the sky.
The remaining smile gradually stiffened until it vanished completely, leaving only a face as cold as ice.
The Stump that had been following Li Xiaonan suddenly exclaimed, "Master, take revenge for Little White! Beat them up! Just like they did to me!"
Li Xiaonan shot a black line of annoyance at the Stump that had just been hit, nearly falling from midair.
Damn! Can you not say something so ridiculous? This Stump is definitely made of lead; it deserves a good whack!
The Yellow Emperor's gaze tightened as he stepped back two paces while holding Zhao Lingshan. He asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Li Xiaonan looked at him as if he were an idiot and disdainfully replied, "Have you lost your mind or your memory? I'm Li Xiaonan; don't you recognize me?"
The Yellow Emperor ignored him and asked again, "Who exactly are you?"
Li Xiaonan shook his head, "Hah... let's stop the nonsense! Time is precious, let's settle the accounts for Xiaobai and Yanrong today!"
He let out a cold laugh, not summoning Blood Soaked Freedom or using the Seven-Level Pagoda. Instead, he simply said lightly, "Shatter!"
"Ah!" Zhao Lingshan, in the arms of the Yellow Emperor, let out a terrible scream.
Her slender arms instantly resembled two limp noodles, hanging weakly to one side, their bones completely shattered by Li Xiaonan.
Zhao Lingshan's face turned pale with fear as she glanced at Li Xiaonan and cried out to the Yellow Emperor, "Husband! Save me! Save me!"
The Yellow Emperor's expression tightened. "Are you a god?"
"No, I am not a god, but I am very close. However, it is enough to deal with you!"
Li Xiaonan slowly extended his hands and gently brought them together, clearly beginning the Heavenly Union Strike.
The Yellow Emperor quickly placed the golden seal in front of him, holding Zhao Lingshan tightly with his left arm while his right hand continuously created phantoms, erecting barriers before him.
Li Xiaonan chuckled lightly, "It's useless. Do you know what the Way of Kings is? If you are disobedient, you will be crushed underfoot. And what is the Way of Tyrants? Even if you are obedient, you will still be crushed. And what is the Way of Heaven?"
The Yellow Emperor did not respond and continued to set up his defensive formation.
Li Xiaonan gazed at the sky devoid of light; his eyes were no longer bright but deep and almost hollow.
He said, "The Way of Heaven means being able to crush anyone at any time. And a god is simply the Way of Heaven!"
He released his hands, simply flicking his fingers lightly. The golden seal shot backward, breaking through layer upon layer of defenses set by the Yellow Emperor, ultimately crashing heavily into the two of them.
With a loud bang, a massive pit was created in the ground.
Not to mention Zhao Lingshan, even Huang Qi from the Carefree Dual Cultivation Group was powerless to retaliate.
Li Xiaonan landed beside them and slightly raised his hand.
Zhao Lingshan gritted her silver teeth and urgently said, "You can't kill us!"
"Why not?"
Li Xiaonan found it amusing; the tides had turned, and he never expected these two would find themselves in such a predicament.
"Lu Ni Chang is my biological daughter. If she finds out you killed her mother, do you think she will continue to love you or hate you?"
Li Xiaonan's brows furrowed slightly as he laughed in anger, "I hate being threatened. Don't worry, I won't kill you, but... I can cripple you!"
With a firm grip of his right hand, Zhao Lingshan's Immortal Infant shattered as well.
She fell into Huang Qi's arms, tears streaming down her face as she lost consciousness.
Huang Qi gritted his teeth in anger and said, "Don't go too far! There are more than just you in this realm with a Demigod body!"
"Oh? Is that so? Are you a Demigod? Then why aren't you fighting back?"
Li Xiaonan suddenly clapped his hands together, causing Huang Qi to spit out a mouthful of golden blood.
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself: Is this guy even human?
"Awo!" Huang Qi howled at the sky, as if something was rushing towards them from the eastern clouds.
Li Xiaonan narrowed his brows and clearly saw the Three Golden Dragons flying in their direction.
He exclaimed, "Dragons?"
The Yellow Emperor sneered, "How about three Demigods against you alone? If you know what's good for you, let me go now!"
Li Xiaonan's expression changed, and he couldn't help but start calculating in his mind.
Three against one? It's not like they were missing one. How could he fight this? Plus, he needed to hurry back to Cloud Sky Pavilion to resolve his brother's matter!
It seemed like complications were arising, but if he just let the Yellow Emperor go like this, it would truly leave him feeling unsatisfied.
An idea suddenly struck Li Xiaonan, and he grinned maliciously. "Alright! You can go, but you can't just walk away. Crawling should work just fine!"
With a slight smirk, he coldly snorted and crushed the Yellow Emperor's spine into dust.
"You little brats are too arrogant! Stop this at once!" The Three Golden Dragons rode on colorful clouds and transformed into two men and a woman as they landed beside the Yellow Emperor.
