Capítulo 1043: Chapter 839: The White Tiger Turmoil (Part 3)

“In ancient times, the Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu did not leave behind their corpses.” Ye Jiuyou explained with a smile: “However, the new Emperor Ye in this world is a good person; not only did he not destroy the Azure Dragon’s corpse, but knowing the location of Nanming Lihuo and Beiming Water, he only took the core without destroying it. This way, I could extract the remaining shadow, which in some sense also counts as a Corpse Puppet. Now my Four Symbols are only short of the White Tiger, to construct my own Netherworld Four Symbols System.”

The Sword Emperor chuckled: “So you are willing to abandon the Shadow Annihilation and other Laws, merely to poorly imitate Ye Wuming?”

“Imitation?” Ye Jiuyou scoffed: “These originally belonged to me; I’m merely tracing origins. You wouldn’t understand even if I told you. In short, I am determined to obtain the White Tiger, you can leave.”

The Sword Emperor lightly sighed: “If you had already obtained the White Tiger, once you complete the Four Symbols, it would indeed compensate for the losses from severing your limbs before… Unfortunately, you haven’t obtained it yet, and these Corpse Puppets cannot activate Spirituality among themselves, merely clay figures and wooden puppets, unable to represent the Four Symbols. Additionally, this world is becoming increasingly harmonious, more and more conflicted with your chaotic annihilation intent, inexplicably failing to trigger the necessary death; now, you are at odds with the heavens, the earth, and humanity… not my match.”

Ye Jiuyou smiled slightly: “Then let’s try?”

“Whoosh!” The Sword Emperor’s wrist lightly moved, and the ancient longsword seemed to slowly and simply stab straight at Ye Jiuyou’s face.

But just a foot in front of her, it failed to penetrate.

It wasn’t a Qi Wall blocking it, but distortion and chaos; the sword had already stabbed into another unknown time and space, simply not in this time and place.

Ye Jiuyou’s hand was already pressed in the Void ahead, and the Sword Emperor’s figure shattered like a character torn from a painting, falling apart.

—She abandoned Shadow and Annihilation, but Chaos remained.

But this attack did not succeed; the seemingly fragmented Sword Emperor was already several meters away, a terrifying Sword Qi arcing downwards, slashing the sky.

The gathering spectators were still comprehending this world’s strongest Law clashes from these rounds, momentarily overlooking Han Wubing’s movements. Han Wubing quietly retreated, taking the imprisoned and maddened White Tiger, swiftly fleeing into the distance.

“Can’t escape.” The powers of the Sword Emperor and Ye Jiuyou collided again, a Sword Qi suddenly emerging from the clash, heading straight for Han Wubing’s back.

Ye Jiuyou’s face turned as dark as water, suddenly thinking of a very unfavorable issue—according to the rules, the Sword Emperor only needs to kill the White Tiger to exhaust its essence, whereas she instead must protect the White Tiger. There’s no need to mention which is easier between killing and protecting…

“Whoosh!” The space subtly undulating, Ye Jiuyou appeared on the path of the Sword Qi, blocking the strike for Han Wubing.

Han Wubing turned back to glance, his expression incredibly surprised.

As Ye Jiuyou obstructed the Sword Qi, the Sword Emperor’s sword slashed horizontally again, the Corpse Puppets of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu simultaneously attacked, crashing towards the Sword Emperor’s back. Meanwhile, a sharp, silent Sword Qi arose, the Snow Eagle silently targeting Ye Jiuyou’s side neck.

In the chaos, Ye Jiuyou quickly leaned back to avoid the pincer attack of the Sword Emperor and Snow Eagle, as a roar erupted from behind, Sword Qi returning.

It was the maddened ancient White Tiger breaking free from Han Wubing’s protection, viciously attacking Ye Jiuyou, even Han Wubing had no time to react before the White Tiger had already charged past him.

“…” Ye Jiuyou had a series of ellipses in her mind, truly can’t afford to be a good person.

I got into this unfavorable situation to save you, and in the end, you ambush me?

Suddenly, the night sky was filled with stars, the Four Symbols Formation illuminating the sky.

Star light scattered, as if traversing time and space, abruptly landing on the ancient White Tiger, the White Tiger roaring as it was blasted far away by the star light.

Where did the Four Symbols Formation come from?

Everyone present turned their heads in amazement, only to see four exceptionally beautiful women guarding Ye Jiuyou’s back, surrounding the ancient White Tiger: “Sorry, everyone senior, this is our Four Symbols Sect’s internal matter, we’re taking the White Tiger.”

Among them, Xia Chichi turned to glare fiercely at the silent Han Wubing: “Who are you helping?”

Han Wubing rarely smiled, pointing his sword at the Snow Eagle: “I don’t know about the others, but at least this one is too much of an outsider in this matter, we can eject them first, then discuss the rest.”

Snow Eagle: “…”

In this chaotic battle with countless sides, none are allies, each side has its own intent, even the division of enemies can’t be discerned, how come I’m the outsider?
