Chapter 116: So Many Helpers

In an instant, the pear orchard was enveloped in dark clouds, and the entire world seemed to dissolve into ink, so thick that one couldn't even open their eyes; it was impossible to see a foot in front of one's face.
Yan Xiaohong stepped back with red eyes, the sword in his hand began to emit a bright white light, but this light only illuminated his immediate surroundings.
“Xi’er, you must go quickly! I can't win against him; I can only buy some time for you…” Hua Qingkong released Liu Hanxi, gently pushed her away, and whispered.
```html“Where to go? Can you walk out of the Three Realms?” Liu Huanxi sighed.
“Wherever you go is fine, I beg you!” Hua Qingkong almost pleaded, as he didn't want to see her die, nor did he want her to see him die.```
“I feel that heaven has treated me very well, letting me cross over and meet you. Even if it's just for a few months, even if this is just a dream, it's enough for me to cherish the memories for a lifetime.” Liu Hanxi said with a smile.
As she spoke, she was already in the air, her heart full, as resolute as when she rescued Mingze and the King of Beiji.
This time, she did not tear her sleeve, so Hua Qingkong did not sense it in advance. By the time he saw Liu Huanxi clearly in the darkness, he noticed she had plunged her magical artifact into her left chest. She was wearing a scarlet palace gown, but it was still evident that the color of her chest garment had deepened; that was her blood!
“Xi Er!” Hua Qing Kong's heart twisted together, the greater the harm, the more powerful the beasts of Yu would become. She hurt herself again and again, all in order to help him defeat Yan Xiao.
“Qi Xiao Yue! Stop!” Yan Xiao also noticed Liu Hanxi's actions and couldn’t help but shout! He wanted Liu Hanxi to stop and not hurt herself any further, but he was unwilling. She was now, in such a way, hurting herself, yet fighting for others! Not only fighting for others, but also fighting against herself! How could he accept this?
“With my blood... with my flesh... with my blood... with my flesh... with! My! Blood! With! My! Flesh!” When Liu Hanjing opened her eyes again, her pupils were purple, with a faint golden light flowing out from her wounds.
Amidst the dense clouds of the pear orchard, glimmers of golden light began to appear, as if wishing to reflect with Liu Huanxi.
Hua Qingkong saw specks of scales in the clouds, but since only a part was visible, he did not know what beast it was.
柳寒兮抬平双手，左右手各握了一把金线，用力做了拉扯的姿势，这兽便被她渐渐拉出了云层，显露得越来越多。
Hua Qingkong stared in astonishment as a green dragon appeared before him, its body thick as three zhang, partially hidden in the black clouds, and its length was beyond his sight.
```htmlThe Eastern Azure Dragon, the essence of the Horned Antelope, exhales clouds and mists, thunders and roars, soars across the eight extremes, travels through the four corners, and comes to stand on my left.
"So... there is a dragon... there is a dragon... that's why I am not needed anymore..." Yan Xiao lowered his head and let out a series of low chuckles.```
Liuhunxi stood firm between the two horns of the dragon, her gaze icy. She said to Yan Xiao, “Today, I can only control this one beast, and I have no strength for others. If you insist on fighting, I will surely give my all!”
站在龙身下的华青空咬紧牙，转过身，咬破舌尖，喷于右手所持的桃木剑上，只见那剑开始发出蓝幽幽的光，接着便消失了。他的身后升起一片扇形的剑阵，不是十八，不是三十六，而是无数支。
The blue glow of the sword and the golden radiance of the Azure Dragon illuminated the pear forest.
Deep within the pear forest, the sound of hurried and synchronized footsteps could be heard, reminiscent of a hidden army advancing quietly, so numerous that everyone could hear them.
Hua Qingkong curiously turned around and looked to the east, where Hua Yuanshan was approaching, accompanied by Shui Liusha, with hundreds of disciples from the Shouxia Sect behind them.
At this moment, Hua Yuanshan swept aside his usual gentle demeanor, revealing the extraordinary presence of a top disciple of a major sect. He shouted loudly, “The God of the Heavens is a vital place in the three realms. Our Shouxia Sect has upheld the divine will and protected the God Nation for thousands of years, with tens of thousands of disciples! Today, let’s see how many you can kill!”
The Shouxia View has long been recorded in the heavenly realm. Besides Hua Chen, previous stewards have all ascended to immortality. If he were to kill the disciples of Shouxia View today, it would not be as easy to evade as when he annihilated the Hidden Spirit Mountain.
“And me too!” A familiar voice echoed from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a giant, snow-white divine beast appear in the air. It was Bailie, with Ji Ya riding on its back. The two landed on the ground, and Bailie transformed into human form.
“The son of the Baihao Divine Lord of the Langxian Domain, Bai Lie Divine Lord is here! Today, I will stand before them; let’s see if you dare to kill or not?!” Bai Lie raised his chin and shouted.
“Stinky cat, what god are you?” Ji Ya felt curious when she heard Bai Lie say this.
“Can you wait to ask? I’m in the middle of looking cool right now!” Bai Lie gently pulled Ji Ya back, firmly blocking her and saying, “You don’t have any skills, yet you want to come and cause trouble. If a fight breaks out later, I’ll have to protect you.”
```htmlJiya was sulking and stayed silent; among the group, she knew she had the weakest magical abilities.
“What? Lang Xianyu? Bai Hao Shensun has withdrawn from the world for many years and doesn’t involve himself in the affairs of the three realms anymore; you are...” Yan Xiao looked incredulous.```
“Yeah, my father is old and no longer manages the affairs of the three realms, but at least he is the elder of the Holy Sovereign! With your generation, you still have to call me uncle!” Bai Lie chuckled.
“Hum! You think you deserve it?” Yan Xiao replied.
“Whether or not I call you uncle doesn't matter, but the fact that you whipped me once has already been reported to my father yesterday. How should I put it! I am rather mischievous, and my father usually punishes me himself. However, he said yesterday that if his own son is unruly, he should discipline him, and it’s not up to others to do so. Therefore, I will be going to the Holy Monarch to discuss this matter today.”
The little Taoist priest from Shouxia Temple was still heading towards the pear orchard, and more and more people were gathering.
Seeing that there were so many helpers, Hua Qingkong felt more confident. He said to Yan Xiao, "If you insist on fighting, I alone cannot defeat you, but if we all stand together, we can surely win against you! If you are so determined, then we will accompany you to the end!"
All the way, the Heavenly Punishment has been following Yan Xiao, and Qing Yao can no longer hold back and reveals himself.
"God Lord, think twice! It's not worth it, it's really not worth it!" Qing Yao cried as he rushed to grab Yan Xiao's arm upon seeing such a scene.
“Get lost!” Yan Xiao no longer had any face left; he knew he had lost. He couldn't afford to offend the Shouxia Temple, and even more so, he couldn't afford to offend the Langxian Domain.
“Aren't you doing this for Qi Xiaoyue? She now has a complete soul, with all three spirits gathered! In just a few decades, only a few decades! After she finishes this life, you can seek her celestial status and slowly win her back! By opposing her like this, she'll only become more displeased, won't she? What you do for her, one day she will understand and see.” Qing Yao advised earnestly.
Yan Xiao glanced at Qing Yao, standing there in a daze. He then looked again at his opponent in front of him, and suddenly flew to Liu Hanxi, surprising everyone.
But he did not approach any further; he only said to Liu Hanxi, “According to your heart's desire, I will not force you anymore. One day, you will come to realize that in this world, only I love you the most and can accompany you the longest.”
