BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 545: Zi Yan, Let Your Master Take You to Kill!

At this moment, the commander of the Barbarian Dragon Army on South Dragon Island, Man Yan, along with another expert at the peak of Nine-Rotation Dou Ancestor level, tore through a section of the Eastern Dragon Island army’s defensive line.

They charged straight toward an ancient stone hall below.

"Quick, stop them!"

Seeing the movement of Man Yan and the other man, Zhu Mo shouted loudly.

Originally, with the strength of Zhu Li, the third elder of Eastern Dragon Island, he could have stopped a Half-Saint level expert like Man Yan.

Unfortunately, a few days ago, after persuasion from Zi Yan, Qingshan, and others, Zhu Li agreed to consume the last Grade Nine Precious Pill.

He was now in seclusion, refining the pill at a critical moment.

If he were forcibly interrupted, he would undoubtedly suffer severe injuries.

"Zzz—!"

As Zhu Mo’s shout fell, countless lightning-fast figures darted out from the surrounding mountains near the ancient stone hall.

They intercepted the intruders from afar. The moment contact was made, a fierce battle broke out again.

However, no one was able to withstand Man Yan and the other expert, who was also at the peak of the Nine-Rotation Dou Ancestor realm.

After blasting away three figures with a fierce palm strike, Man Yan accelerated again and charged toward the ancient stone hall.

"Who dares harm the Dragon Emperor!"

Just as Man Yan was about to enter the ancient stone hall, another powerful aura erupted from a different direction.

In a flash, a figure blocked his path.

"Zhu Li!"

Seeing this old rival, Man Yan frowned slightly.

But soon, he burst into loud laughter.

"Haha! Zhu Li, you old thing! You can’t even protect yourself—what makes you think you can stop me?!"

Under Man Yan’s observation, Zhu Li’s aura was extremely unstable, like someone heavily injured and barely suppressing it.

Realizing this, Man Yan launched a series of ferocious attacks without restraint.

After just a few moves, Zhu Li was already in very poor condition.

Just then, the other expert who had broken through the defenses also arrived.

After observing Zhu Li’s state, he said directly, "Man Yan, leave Zhu Li to me. You go find that royal bloodline!"

"Alright!"

Man Yan quickly nodded, then disengaged and rushed toward the entrance of the hall.

Seeing Man Yan’s movement, Zhu Li’s eyes turned blood-red.

Just as he was about to stop him, he was intercepted by the other expert.

Deep inside the massive stone hall, near the altar, Zi Yan was surrounded by four peak Dou Ancestor-level experts.

Her face was full of worry.

"This is bad!"

Suddenly, the expressions of the four guards changed drastically.

The next moment, three of them quickly left Zi Yan’s side and rushed toward the hall entrance.

Watching those three elders leave, Zi Yan realized the front lines could no longer hold.

Someone was already breaking through and charging toward the ancient hall.

With her current strength, if discovered by members of the other Dragon Islands, she wouldn’t stand a chance of resisting.

At this moment, countless Eastern Dragon Island experts were present.

Escaping through space travel was virtually impossible.

Zi Yan’s heart sank.

Now, the three Dragon Kings no longer cared how the rest of the clan viewed them.

All they wanted was to control her and ensure she posed no threat to their authority.

"Master, perhaps… this is the last time Zi Yan will see you…"

Zi Yan whispered softly in her heart, then swiftly crushed the Void Jade Talisman that Gu He had given her earlier.

She had once heard from Zhu Li that Gu He’s cultivation was at the level of a high-tier Half-Saint.

Such a level might make him a formidable force in the outside world or the Central Plains.

But in the current chaos on Dragon Island, that strength wasn’t enough to change anything.

Zi Yan knew Gu He’s limits clearly.

Yet she still chose to crush the Void Jade Talisman because she knew it would only summon a projection of him.

Even if that projection were destroyed, it wouldn’t affect Gu He himself.

She simply wanted to see her master one last time before death.

As the talisman shattered in her hand, the space beside the altar twisted violently.

At the same time, three dull crashing sounds echoed outside the hall where the altar stood.

Zi Yan looked up and saw the three Eastern Dragon Island elders who had rushed out earlier.

They had been heavily injured and collapsed to the ground, unmoving.

“Haha! As I thought, she’s here!”

Man Yan’s figure appeared in Zi Yan’s line of sight, his tone filled with malicious glee.

“Someone else is coming?”

Noticing the distorted space behind Zi Yan, a cold gleam flashed in Man Yan’s eyes.

Without hesitation, he prepared to take Zi Yan down quickly.

The last elder protecting her, fearless in the face of death, charged at Man Yan.

“Foolish!”

With a single palm strike, Man Yan sent the elder flying.

But then, his eyes suddenly narrowed in alarm as he looked behind Zi Yan.

There, a figure in white slowly appeared.

The man wore white robes and appeared as a middle-aged man.

Not only was he strikingly handsome, but his aura was ethereal—like an immortal descended from the heavens.

Though his expression was calm, there was a storm of fury simmering beneath the surface.

“A Dou Saint!”

Sensing the man's presence, Man Yan’s eyes widened in shock.

He hadn’t expected Eastern Dragon Island to call in a Dou Saint from another race.

“Master!”

Feeling the familiar aura, Zi Yan turned around in excitement.

When she saw Gu He, her emotions surged uncontrollably and tears welled up.

She ran over and tightly clung to his leg.

Gu He’s projected figure looked down at Zi Yan’s sobbing form with a furrowed brow and a pained expression.

“Zi Yan, I’m here now. You don’t need to be afraid,” Gu He said gently, patting her head with its two pigtails.

“Sir, this is a private matter of our Ancient Dragon Clan,” Man Yan warned coldly.

“I advise you not to interfere. Once the Dragon King deals with that old fool Qingshan, you’ll be next.”

Man Yan clearly intended to use the Ancient Dragon Clan’s authority to pressure Gu He.

But the moment he finished speaking, the hidden fury in Gu He’s eyes burst forth.

Under Gu He’s gaze, Man Yan suddenly felt a chill crawl down his back.

“Zi Yan,” Gu He said softly, lowering his head with a calm smile, “today, your master is going to take you to kill.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu He vanished from where he stood.

In Man Yan’s vision, Gu He’s figure disappeared in an instant.

But in the very next moment, a massive fist suddenly filled Man Yan’s sight, rapidly enlarging.
