Nangong Jin was overjoyed at the sight. He smiled at Wan Potian and said, "Potian, well done."
Wan Potian was also very pleased. He knew that anyone who fell into the Soul Severing River was practically sentenced to death.
Nangong Jin and Wan Potian shifted their gaze to Ying Da and Dou Bi. These two were Zhang Hao's men, and they naturally wouldn't let them off.
Yun Qiuyu was already somewhat despairing at this moment. After all, no one who fell into the Soul Severing River had ever survived.
With a "Plop!" sound.
Yun Qiuyu had already fallen into the river, and waves of foul, bloody smell swept towards her, making her almost vomit.
Looking at the countless blood-red, greedy eyes around her, Yun Qiuyu's heart turned cold. She naturally knew what this was. Although she wasn't afraid of death, probably few people would want to die in such a manner, especially without a complete corpse.
Yun Qiuyu's desire to survive surged in her heart. But these Blood Crocodiles around her were Ferocious Beasts of the fifth rank or higher, completely beyond her ability to resist.
Just as Yun Qiuyu despaired and accepted her fate, a figure descended from the sky.
"Beasts, get lost!"
Streaks of blade light slashed down from the void. The Blood Crocodiles around, who were about to pounce on Yun Qiuyu, were crushed to dust by the blade light. Every single one of them exploded.
Yun Qiuyu opened her eyes in disbelief. When she saw the person who saved her, she was still somewhat taken aback. She said in disbelief, "Zhang Hao!"
Zhang Hao pulled Yun Qiuyu to his side and asked with concern, "Qiu Yu, are you alright?"
Yun Qiuyu looked at Zhang Hao anxiously and said, "Zhang Hao, why did you come down? Hurry and leave, don't mind me."
Zhang Hao shook his head, his expression firm, saying, "No, how can I leave you here alone? If we go, we go together."
Yun Qiuyu was deeply moved. At this moment, she really wished she could throw herself into Zhang Hao's arms and cry.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Hao knew this wasn't a place to talk. He pulled Yun Qiuyu's small hand and was about to lead her away. However, the Blood Crocodiles around them pounced from all directions, surrounding the two completely. It was almost impossible for them to leave. Zhang Hao's expression was solemn. Although he was very confident in himself, he also knew that breaking through the encirclement with Yun Qiuyu was highly unlikely.
"Zhang Hao, I didn't expect we would die together. I dragged you down," Yun Qiuyu said with a bitter smile.
Zhang Hao's heart stirred. He said gently to Yun Qiuyu, "Hehe, don't worry, we won't die."
As Zhang Hao finished speaking, Little Dragon appeared on his shoulder and emitted a trace of Dragon's Might towards the Blood Crocodiles that were about to pounce.
The Blood Crocodiles had originally thought they were getting a delicious meal, but unexpectedly, a surge of Dragon's Might was released, instantly terrifying them into stillness. They were all too scared to move. Although there were even seventh-rank Ferocious Beasts among them, under the deterrence of the Dragon's Might, they were all incredibly fearful and trembling uncontrollably.
"Ah, Little Dragon!"
Yun Qiuyu looked at Little Dragon on Zhang Hao's shoulder in surprise. She knew that Little Dragon could subdue thousands of Ferocious Beasts. She had witnessed Little Dragon's power during the second trial.
"Let's go!"
Ying Da and Dou Bi were still above, and Zhang Hao was very worried, unsure of their current situation. He had come down in a hurry just now, and now that he thought about it, he was naturally anxious.
At this moment, on the Soul Severing Bridge,
Xiao Kuang, covered in blood, stood in front of Ying Da and Dou Bi.
"Brother Xiao, you should leave, don't worry about us," Dou Bi urged Xiao Kuang.
"Hahaha, I won't leave. If we die, we die together. The road to the Yellow Springs won't be lonely," Xiao Kuang laughed loudly.
Ying Da and Dou Bi were incredibly moved, but at the same time, they felt helpless. They knew that if Xiao Kuang continued like this, he would die with them.
"Hahaha, Cousin, I didn't expect you to still be so pedantic, dying like this for two unrelated people. Indeed, like Father, like son! This is also why your Father lost to my Father," Xiao Jue looked at Zhang Hao and laughed heartily, feeling very pleased.
"Alright, finish them off. We've wasted too much time," Nangong Jin said somewhat impatiently.
"Okay, since you like to show off, Cousin, I'll send you down to feed the fish."
Saying this, Xiao Jue walked step by step towards Ying Da, Dou Bi, and Xiao Kuang.
Wan Potian and Nangong Jin watched from the side. They didn't intervene. At this moment, the three were already at the end of their strength. Even without their intervention, they wouldn't last much longer.
Just then, a roar of anger sounded.
As soon as Zhang Hao returned to the Soul Severing Bridge, he saw Ying Da, Dou Bi, and others being attacked, especially Xiao Kuang who was covered in blood. At this moment, he was already furious.
"Seeking death!"
Zhang Hao took a step and appeared in front of Xiao Jue.
"Cold Blade Ice Heart!"
Zhang Hao roared, emitting a terrifying aura from his body. He slashed down with his blade.
This strike carried an endless, terrifying aura, crushing down towards Xiao Jue. The void trembled, as if this single strike could shatter it.
"Ah! Block it for me!"
Xiao Jue swung his sword. His Sword Intent erupted with terrifying energy, crashing towards Zhang Hao.
"Boom!"
Blade met sword.
Zhang Hao's strike directly shattered Xiao Jue's sword. The blade drove straight through, hitting his body forcefully, sending him flying out and falling towards the Soul Severing River.
"Xiao Kuang, are you alright?" Zhang Hao quickly went to Xiao Kuang's side.
Xiao Kuang forced a smile at Zhang Hao and said, "I'm alright since you're here. If you hadn't come, I would have been in trouble."
Zhang Hao shook his head, took out a Dan, and handed it to Xiao Kuang, saying, "This is my Dan. Eat it, it will help you recover faster."
Xiao Kuang didn't stand on ceremony and swallowed the Dan.
Zhang Hao looked at Dou Bi and Ying Da, who were looking at him excitedly, and asked with concern, "How are you guys?"
Dou Bi forced a smile and said, "Boss, I'm alright! Thanks to Xiao Kuang for saving us. Otherwise, you wouldn't have seen us again."
Ying Da also nodded at Zhang Hao and said, "Yes, Boss, I'm alright."
Zhang Hao stood up and looked at Wan Potian and Nangong Jin in front of him, saying angrily, "Now it's your turn. I'll let you know what it feels like to go down and feed the fish."
Zhang Hao said to Yun Qiuyu beside him, "Go take care of Dou Bi and Ying Da. Leave these two to me."
Nangong Jin and Wan Potian both looked at Zhang Hao in utter shock. Wan Potian looked at Zhang Hao in astonishment again, mumbling, "Impossible, I saw you fall into the Soul Severing River with my own eyes. How could you not be dead? How could this be..."
"Because heaven wants me to take care of you two."
At this moment, Zhang Hao hated the two to the bone and naturally wouldn't let them go.
"Die!"
Zhang Hao unleashed his Swallow Shadow Drift movement technique and swept towards the two. While in the air, a terrifying Killing Intent locked onto them.
