Chapter 1546: Huayan, Let Me Help You
Huang Xiaoyue had always had a God Realm expert secretly protecting her. But with the devil invasion, she had sent her guardian off to deal with the Devil Gods. She did not have many people left around her, and they were all busy fighting the devils. As for the newcomer who had saved her, she was greatly shocked to see him.
The newcomer was none other than Xiang Shaoyun, who was currently leaking intense killing intent. With his bare hands, he caught the devil's claws and roared ruthlessly, "Die, devil!"
Strength poured into his arms as he circulated his earth energy and ripped the claws off the plaguewing devil.
Roar!
The plaguewing devil roared in pain as he swung his wings repeatedly, trying to kill Xiang Shaoyun. He was much stronger than the first plaguewing devil, but it was unfortunate for him that the person before him was Xiang Shaoyun. Before his attack could even reach Xiang Shaoyun, two palms slammed into his body.
Tai Chi Yin Yang Palm!
The powers of life and death spiraled into a whirlpool and blasted the devil's body apart. Next, Xiang Shaoyun pulled the devil core out of the plaguewing devil's forehead and directly tossed it into his mouth.
The sight frightened the other plaguewing devil, who then hurriedly turned around to leave. However, how could he escape Xiang Shaoyun? A fiery palm flew over and grabbed the devil, leaving a deep wound on the devil's body. The wound was deep enough that the devil's bones were exposed. The flame raged on and burned the devil to death.
After killing the two devils, Xiang Shaoyun rushed toward a distant Devil Saint without even sparing Huang Xiaoyue a glance. Huang Xiaoyue opened her mouth, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything. She could only say inwardly, Sorry. Thank you.
She was once unruly and willful, showing Xiang Shaoyun no respect whatsoever. She also hated him for being fickle with women and had even criticized him for it. Now that she had matured considerably, she had learned to look at things differently. With that, her views about Xiang Shaoyun changed as well. Unfortunately, she could no longer return to the past.
No matter how intense the fight on the ground was, the ultimate result of the battle would still be determined by the Gods fighting it out high in the sky.
About a dozen Devil Gods from the Diabolic Dragon Clan had arrived. They had thought that they would be able to catch the humans by complete surprise, but the Righteous Buddhist Sect had delayed their invasion. Although a dozen Devil Gods was a powerful bunch, humanity was not to be underestimated either.
Four Gods from the Dusk Dynasty had joined the battlefield. Coupled with the six Gods from the Guardians Guild and the Gods from some other organizations, humanity had enough strength to stop this round of invasion.
Of course, they initially weren't a match for these Devil Gods. But when Xiang Yangzhan showed up with his astonishing combat strength, humanity was able to gain the upper hand over the Devil Gods. If they could last until more Gods arrived, they could even kill all the Devil Gods.
A battle between Gods wouldn't end anytime soon.
Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun had completely tilted the balance of the battle on the ground. The devils he released from his astral cosmos sea had killed a large number of devils and reduced the Dusk Dynasty's burden.
One could say that the invading devil army was on the verge of collapsing. The devils had not seen that coming. After a while, Xiang Shaoyun stopped focusing on the battle on the ground. After leaving some words with Devil Concubine and Devouring Ghost, he soared into the sky. He wanted to see how his father was doing against the devils.
When he arrived in the sky, he saw his father valiantly fighting the strongest diabolic dragon devil present. The battle was intense, yet his father did not seem to be in any danger.
"Although Father spent so many years cultivating in the coffin, his battle instincts are still as excellent as ever. Looks like he gained a lot from the inheritance," muttered Xiang Shaoyun to himself.
He then called over Chi Duo and Yuan Gang before charging toward a certain direction. He wasn't heading toward Xiang Yangzhan's fight. Rather, he was heading to where Yu Huayan was fighting a Devil God.
After Yu Huayan resolved her grievances with Xiang Shaoyun, she did not leave. Rather, she had stayed behind to keep watch over the Devil Domain's entrance. However, it was merely an excuse for her to keep Xiang Shaoyun and Yu Caidie safe.
She might know that Xiang Shaoyun was Xiang Dingtian reincarnated, but they were still two different people. Thus, she had complicated emotions for Xiang Shaoyun. Traces of her feelings for Xiang Dingtian still remained stubbornly in her heart. She was doing rather badly against the devil she was facing. This wasn't surprising, as devils were extremely talented in fighting. Most devils were superior to other races while at the same cultivation level.
"Huayan, let me help you!" roared Xiang Shaoyun as he rushed over with Chi Duo and Yuan Gang.
A sweet smile formed on Yu Huayan's face. Instantly, the entire world seemed like a prop to accentuate her beauty. Her slight moment of distraction caused her to suffer a hit from the Devil God. She was sent flying while coughing up a mouthful of blood.
"Silly woman!" said Xiang Shaoyun furiously. He sent Chi Duo and Yuan Gang toward the Devil God and rushed over toward Yu Huayan. He held her up and asked in a concerned manner, "How can you let yourself be distracted on the battlefield? Are you fine?"
Looking at the beautiful face right in front of him, he couldn't help but admit that she was definitely as attractive as the likes of Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine. Furthermore, there was a certain temperament about her that gave all men an intense desire to conquer.
This was the first time Yu Huayan had been so close to Xiang Shaoyun. She blushed and said, "I-I'm fine. I'll be fine after a short rest."
She was right. As a God, her wounds would start healing without needing her to do anything. Even severed limbs would regrow if given enough time. The life force of a God was something no Saint could compare with.
"Good. That fellow will pay for this," said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod.
Ever since he had discovered Yu Huayan's identity, he started viewing her as a friend. Or, to be precise, he looked at her as if she were his little sister despite their age difference.
"You have always been strong. After entering the Rebirth Realm, I don't think anyone in the world can be your match anymore," said Yu Huayan admiringly.
When she was growing up, Xiang Dingtian had always been an unequaled hero in her mind. And now, her reverence for him was shifted to Xiang Shaoyun. After all, Xiang Shaoyun was essentially Xiang Dingtian. He had displayed an outstanding talent that nobody could compare with.
"After this battle is over, I'll be heading over to the Di Clan's place," said Xiang Shaoyun seriously.
