Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Before Xiao Yan could think about it, a heart-pounding roar was heard. Xiao Yan immediately looked towards the dragon throne. The legless corpse of Ao Jing had stood up. A terrifying scarlet light flashed in his originally dark eyes. His dry mouth opened and closed slightly but he could not utter a word. He could only make a low groan like a dying beast.

Lei Dong didn't have time to pay attention to Xiao Yan's offense at this time. The shame and anger on his face disappeared, and his eyes were fixed on Ao Jing's corpse.

There was no life. Even though Ao Jing's corpse was indeed moving at this moment, Lei Dong did not sense any breath of life from him. It was for this reason that Xiao Yan, who was accustomed to using his perception, did not notice Ao Jing's movements behind him.

"I guess Venerable Joy used some secret method."

Xiao Yan's face was grim, white light flashed in his hand, and the Infernal Purgatory Ruler appeared in his palm. With the infusion of the Infernal Dark Heart Flame, the blood-red lines on the Infernal Purgatory Ruler began to surge like magma. Then Xiao Yan's figure disappeared from the spot and instantly appeared in front of Ao Jing's corpse, with terrifying fire burning in his eyes.

Xiao Yan respected the dead and had never intentionally insulted any corpse, but the corpse of Ao Jing in front of him had completely deviated from the concept of a corpse and posed a threat to them.

In that case, there is nothing to hesitate about.

【Fengtian】

The scorching giant ruler suddenly chopped down at Ao Jing, and Ao Jing's corpse was turned into nothingness by the high temperature without even a trace of resistance. The entire dragon throne and the ground below were split in two by Xiao Yan's attack, and a deep ravine a thousand meters long appeared, which made Lei Dong horrified.

Just one strike, but it was so powerful? And judging from Xiao Yan's appearance, it didn't take much effort at all.

But the next second, Lei Dong's expression suddenly changed, and the same happened to Zi Yun next to him.

In their sight, the corpse of Ao Jing, which was annihilated by Xiao Yan's attack, reappeared, and then the corpse turned into a phantom and instantly sank into Xiao Yan's body.

"Xiao Yan!"

Zi Yun's expression froze, and she was about to go up to check the situation. At this time, Xiao Yan slowly turned around, but found that half of his face had changed into the appearance of Ao Jing's corpse. There was no trace of rationality in his eyes, and he stared at Lei Dong and Zi Yun with supreme resentment.

Invading the body?!
This word instantly popped up in Lei Dong's mind, and he clenched his teeth tightly.

Damn! Was that corpse a bait?!
Then Lei Dong saw Xiao Yan slowly raise his hand, with the Infinite Dark Heart Flame burning in his palm, and smashing directly towards the two of them. Lei Dong and Zi Yun were shocked and both dodged to the side to avoid this horrific blow. Looking at the violent explosion caused by the Infinite Dark Heart Flame behind them, they both broke out in cold sweats instantly.

Obviously, Xiao Yan's actions are now completely controlled by Ao Jing!
"This useless guy!" Lei Dong cursed in a low voice, with thunder surging in his hands. He glanced at Zi Yun coldly, "Subdue him first, don't hold back, otherwise you will die in his hands!"

"understood."

Zi Yun responded coldly. She was not very good at using her brain, but in contrast, her instincts were quite good. After she noticed the current situation, her instinct immediately gave her a solution, and this solution was exactly the same as what Lei Dong said.

Subdue Xiao Yan first, then talk about other things!

"Lei Qianshuo!"

The lightning in Lei Dong's hand turned into a javelin that condensed the power of tremendous thunder. The muscles in his arm tensed up, and he aimed at Xiao Yan and shot it out fiercely. Xiao Yan responded immediately, holding the Infernal Ruler across his body to block the lightning javelin. He gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain as the thunder spread through the Infernal Ruler to his body.

At this moment, Zi Yun suddenly flashed to Xiao Yan's side, and the shadow of the dragon-eating beast appeared from behind her. Its huge claws pressed down on Xiao Yan like a mountain, causing Xiao Yan's pupils to shrink suddenly.

Ding!
After a burst of explosions, Xiao Yan's figure suddenly flew out and hit the ruins wall heavily on the ground. He crouched on the ground, with lightning flashing all over his body, staring at Zi Yun and Lei Dong who were glaring at him in front of him.

(What's going on? Why did Ziyun and Leidong suddenly attack me?)

Xiao Yan's mind was full of question marks. Just after he destroyed Ao Jing's corpse, Lei Dong suddenly attacked him without any warning, and Zi Yun followed closely behind, leaving Xiao Yan completely confused about what was happening.

"Ziyun! Master Lei! What happened to you?!"

Xiao Yan questioned in a deep voice, but Lei Dong and Zi Yun seemed not to hear Xiao Yan's voice and attacked Xiao Yan again.

Facing them, Xiao Yan had no way of counterattacking and could only transform his body into flames to avoid their further attacks, thoughts in his mind constantly churning.

what is the problem?

Xiao Yan extended his soul and did not detect anything unusual from Lei Dong and Zi Yun. In other words, Lei Dong and Zi Yun's attack on him was their own intention, not the manipulation of others.

"Thunder Blade!"

The lightning in Lei Dong's hand turned into a forty-meter-long lightning blade, which chopped down towards Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan's expression froze, and he suddenly bent down to avoid the attack. The lightning blade hit the ruins behind Xiao Yan, causing the entire hall to shake again, and it was almost collapsing.

It was this attack that allowed Xiao Yan to discover the clue.

To the naked eye, Lei Dong's attack seemed extremely fierce, but Xiao Yan could clearly feel that Lei Dong was obviously holding back. His purpose was not to kill but to subdue him.

At this time, Zi Yun came down from above Xiao Yan with the huge phantom of a dragon-eating beast. Xiao Yan reacted immediately, holding the Infernal Ruler horizontally above him to block Zi Yun's powerful trampling. The ground under his feet and around him collapsed instantly. Then Xiao Yan suddenly pushed Zi Yun away and distanced himself from Lei Dong and Zi Yun again.

etc.
Xiao Yan's expression froze, and he suddenly realized something.

If they don't have problems, then the problem is... me?
"Ziyun! Leidong! Can you hear me?"

Xiao Yan roared again, but Lei Dong and Zi Yun did not respond, which confirmed his guess.

Fantasy array!

I guess something happened to me in the eyes of Lei Dong and Zi Yun, so the two of them attacked me, with the purpose of subduing me before making any plans.

(Is that the corpse?)

Xiao Yan immediately understood the problem and pursed his lips slightly.

Lei Dong and Zi Yun couldn't hear his voice and therefore couldn't communicate, but it was impossible for him to really hurt them.

I have no choice but to use this.

Then, from the perspective of Lei Dong and Zi Yun, Xiao Yan, whose body was occupied by Ao Jing in front of him, put down the Ruler of Infernal Hell, and then swung his hands suddenly. Countless black chains shot out from his arms and flew towards Lei Dong and Zi Yun.

The chains were flying around like a tumbling dragon. The dark chains contained a majestic power that covered the sky like a dark cloud. The spreading chains, one after another, were like ferocious predators biting the two men tightly.

Crackling!

With lightning leaping in his hands, Lei Dong destroyed hundreds of chains that attacked him. Then more chains surged up, forcing Lei Dong to turn around and avoid them. His eyes were filled with anger. This guy is really hard to deal with!
On the other side, Zi Yun was also being chased by countless chains. At first, hundreds of chains wrapped around her, but she struggled to break free with her extremely powerful strength. But then more chains entangled her, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free. Moreover, these black chains seemed to contain the power to suppress the soul, and soon the noisy Zi Yun calmed down. She was tightly bound by the chains and unable to move, and the shadow of the dragon-eating monster behind her gradually disappeared.

Zi Yun's current strength is not as good as Xiao Yan's, and her soul strength is much worse. In addition, Zi Yun could not muster too strong a desire to fight against Xiao Yan, and her fighting method was physical combat, which inevitably came into contact with the chains. It was under the influence of multiple factors that Zi Yun seemed to be bound so easily.

(damn it!)
Seeing Zi Yun being tied up, Lei Dong wanted to help but he couldn't because he was also trapped. If Lei Dong didn't have many fighting skills that could break the chains without touching them, he would have been tied up faster than Zi Yun.

"Lei Luanzhi!"

Along with Lei Dong's roar, the mighty thunder began to grow wildly in front of Lei Dong like branches, destroying the dark chains layer by layer, and for a moment it actually gained the upper hand.

However, no matter how hard Lei Dong tried, the chains kept recovering and pressed down again in multiple numbers, causing Lei Dong, who should have had the upper hand, to be pushed back. Seeing the chains getting closer and closer, Lei Dong became more and more nervous.

Do you want to unlock the seal?
Judging from the current situation, Lei Dong has no other ability to break the situation except to unlock the seal. But if the seal is unlocked and his true identity is exposed...
Just as Lei Dong was hesitating, the black chains had already broken through his defense zone, making Lei Dong look horrified.

There's no time to hesitate! If we get caught, it's all over!
Lei Dong was about to remove the seal when a pressure suddenly came from behind, causing him to turn around abruptly. He saw Xiao Yan's face that was half mixed with Ao Jing's, causing his heart to stop.

This guy took advantage of my attention being drawn to the chain
Before Lei Dong could make any move, Xiao Yan put one arm around his waist and the other hand around his neck to control him, while at the same time pouring his soul power into Lei Dong's soul. This was also the method that Yao Chen had taught him the last time he fell into an illusion in the Savage Ancient Domain.

【Thunder! Wake up! 】

"Um?!"

The voice coming from the depths of his soul shocked Lei Dong violently. The light in his eyes flickered, and finally it was as if a layer of fog was dispelled, and his eyes became clear again.

Then Lei Dong turned his head slightly and looked at Xiao Yan's profile on his shoulder again. There was no trace of Ao Jing on that face anymore.

"Lei Dong, can you hear me now?"

Lei Dong's eyes flickered, he nodded slightly, and then spoke blankly.

"What happened just now?"

"You and Ziyun are trapped in hallucinations."

Xiao Yan's words were concise and to the point, and Lei Dong immediately understood what had just happened.

In short, Xiao Yan's body was not invaded at all, it was just that similar things happened from his and Zi Yun's perspectives.

This made Lei Dong feel relaxed. If Xiao Yan hadn't helped him to break through the illusion, he would have really exposed himself.

While feeling thankful, Lei Dong suddenly realized something. He lowered his head slightly to look at Xiao Yan's warm and strong arms that were still around his neck and waist. He then realized that his entire back was now pressed against Xiao Yan's body. His face instantly turned blood red, and he directly elbowed Xiao Yan in the abdomen.

"Let go! Don't touch me!"

"Well!"

Xiao Yan's face suddenly twisted due to the severe pain, and then he covered his abdomen and gradually moved away from Lei Dong, looking at Lei Dong's angry eyes in astonishment.

I know my behavior just now was a bit offensive, but we are all men, so it shouldn’t be that serious, right?
"Humph!"

Lei Dong folded his arms and snorted coldly, then realized that his behavior was too excited. As if he was afraid that Xiao Yan would notice something, he turned his head to look at Zi Yun who was still tightly bound by chains on the other side, and opened his mouth to change the subject.

"You haven't solved her illusion yet?"

Xiao Yan nodded, not having time to think about Lei Dong's unusual behavior. He rubbed his abdomen and walked towards Zi Yun. Lei Dong looked at Xiao Yan's back as he explained with a broad mind, and felt inexplicably numb in his heart, his eyes filled with shame and anger.

This was the first time he had been so close to a man, and it happened twice on the same day!

(Xiao Yan, just wait for me, you will be in trouble later!)
Lei Dong swore secretly in his heart, while Xiao Yan had no idea how he had offended the young master of the Lei clan. He came to Zi Yun to help her get rid of the illusion.

Compared to Lei Dong, Zi Yun's situation was much easier because she was bound. Xiao Yan successfully injected his soul into her without much effort, causing her soul to become disordered for a moment. The first thing Zi Yun saw when she opened her eyes was Xiao Yan's face. Her eyes were immediately filled with joy, and she even completely ignored the chains that bound her.

"Xiao Yan, are you okay?"

"I think you're okay now."

Xiao Yan smiled helplessly, and after confirming that Zi Yun was free from the illusion, he took back the chains. Zi Yun stood up and stretched her arms, her tone full of relief.

"Yeah, when I saw you were possessed, I thought you were doomed. I couldn't do anything harsh to you."

"."

Well, Ziyun’s brain really wasn’t that good. Even after the illusion was resolved, she still didn’t understand the situation.

However, Xiao Yan did not plan to explain it to Zi Yun. With Zi Yun's brain, it would take a lot of time to explain the illusion to her, and he obviously didn't have the time now.

At this time, Lei Dong straightened his expression, put Xiao Yan's previous offense behind him, walked up with his arms folded and asked.

"So now, there are no clues at all, right?"

"No, it already happened when I destroyed Ao Jing's body."

Xiao Yan shook his head slightly and said this, causing Lei Dong to raise his eyebrows in confusion.

"We were trapped here because we were trapped in an illusion array. That corpse was the center of the array." Xiao Yan said, gently stroking his chest with one hand, "And after I destroyed that corpse, the center of the array was transferred to my body."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan closed his eyes slightly and searched around in his soul. Finally, as he had guessed, he caught an external mark. Xiao Yan no longer hesitated and directly controlled his soul to crush the mark into pieces.

The next moment, the space around the three people began to vibrate, and the surrounding scene also began to change. It stabilized after more than ten seconds. Lei Dong's pupils suddenly contracted after seeing the changing scenery in front of him.

What is this?! (End of this chapter)
