Chapter 682: Tongzi Xuan

"Tongzi Xuan, you might as well surrender now," Qin Lingtian said with a light smile, looking at the young man at the front of the army of ten thousand. "If there's anyone to blame, it can only be your naive self. You didn’t make your subordinates swear an oath of loyalty; it's simply laughable."

On the other side, Liu Chuan, the lord of Qing Island, also sneered, "I said long ago, this young lad knows nothing. What qualifications does he have to occupy this island?"

"No need to waste words with him. Just wipe them out and take over the island," Qin Batian's cold voice also rang out. He glared at the young lord of Ren Island and said, "The number of the undead army on this island is very small, yet the density of spiritual energy is extremely high, much better than your Qing Island."

"We might as well seize this island; it could still preserve our lives. Otherwise..."

Qin Batian's words made Liu Chuan nod in agreement. He looked at Tongzi Xuan and said, "Lord of Ren Island, don't expect anyone to come and rescue you. The million soul warriors of Qing Island are already here, and you are beyond saving."

"I advise you to surrender early. Hand over the cultivation techniques you have learned and swear an oath of loyalty to me. Maybe you can still keep your life."

"Pah, you’re daydreaming!" Tongzi Xuan spat on the ground and looked coldly at Liu Chuan. "This technique was bestowed by my master. Even if I die, I will not give it to you."

"Master? Hahaha, is that the reclusive expert who gave you a cultivation technique?" Liu Chuan sneered at Tongzi Xuan's words. "But from what I know, they never took you as a disciple. They merely felt sorry for you and gave you a better technique. Did you really think they would accept you as a disciple? It’s delusional. Otherwise, why haven’t they come to find you in the past five years?"

"That so-called expert is probably just a soul warrior at the Awakening Realm. You should know, my two guardians are of similar strength, and their techniques are just as good as yours."

"This island master is showing you mercy. Don’t be ungrateful!"

"Moreover, your so-called master is probably not that impressive."

Hearing Liu Chuan’s words, Tongzi Xuan's face twisted with rage. He shouted, "Do not insult my master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tongzi Xuan charged forward. With his soul power stirred, his weapon transformed into a long sword, stabbing directly at Liu Chuan.

"Hmph!" At that moment, Qin Lingtian had already blocked in front of Liu Chuan. With a wave of his hand, soul power gathered and turned into sword energy, slashing towards Tongzi Xuan.

Boom!

Although Tongzi Xuan was young and talented, his realm was only at the Life and Death Realm, while Qin Lingtian was at the Awakening Realm.

Despite Tongzi Xuan’s exceptional talent, even at the peak of the Life and Death Realm, he still had the strength to fight with someone from the Awakening Realm.

However, after being injured by the undead army earlier, he was in no condition to fight Qin Lingtian.

"Island Master!" A middle-aged man, shocked, hurriedly went forward to catch the flying Tongzi Xuan.

However, the force of Qin Lingtian's strike was too great. After the middle-aged man caught Tongzi Xuan, he was suddenly hit by the immense force, crashing towards the ground.

Puff!

The middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of blood but still desperately protected Tongzi Xuan, falling to the ground.

At that moment, Tongzi Xuan suddenly exerted force, flipping himself over so that his back hit the ground. There was a loud thud as the ground cracked beneath him.

Crash!

Adding to his injuries, Tongzi Xuan opened his mouth and vomited blood, with some fragments of flesh and internal organs damaged.

The middle-aged man quickly stood up, supporting the island master, and sighed, "Island Master, why go through all this?"

Tongzi Xuan’s eyelids were heavy, but he still forced himself to stand.

At this moment, hundreds of people around quickly gathered to protect their island master.

"Brothers, we are here to live and die together, to support each other, not to be used as stepping stones!" Tongzi Xuan looked at the people around him and said slowly, "Fighting alongside you, up to this point, I have no regrets. Being able to provide a peaceful and secure place for those in the Chaotic Star Sea is my pride."

"Unfortunately, I did not recognize people clearly, causing you to suffer with me and bringing about the demise of the entire Ren Island’s four million people!"

"I am guilty, so guilty!" Tongzi Xuan looked at Qin Lingtian and the others, shouting in anger, then he began to cough violently, blood and foam continuously spitting from his mouth. The middle-aged man hurriedly supported him.

"Island Master, don’t say any more. We have never regretted following you."

"That’s right, Island Master. We face life and death together and are not afraid."

"It’s just death; what’s the big deal? Over the years, we have ventured together, saved thousands of slaves, provided food and safety for millions, and made Ren Island a shining gem in the Chaotic Star Sea."

"We do not regret following you."

Tongzi Xuan looked at the surrounding brothers, at the thick smoke in the distance, reminisced about the past, and shed tears. "Sorry, I originally promised you that we would join the Hua Xia Empire and hoped for a better life. It’s my fault. If I had heeded your warnings and stayed vigilant against Qin Lingtian and his father..."

"No need to apologize, Island Master. Moreover, how could such a large empire like the Hua Xia Empire ever take us in?"

"Hahaha, I was just thinking too simply." Tongzi Xuan looked up at Qin Lingtian in the sky with a resolute expression.

Clap, clap, clap!

At this moment, Liu Chuan applauded and said with a smile, "What a touching scene. Unfortunately, I am moved but I do not plan to let you go."

"Tongzi Xuan, I’ll give you one last chance. Either become my dog, or die."

Tongzi Xuan sneered, blood staining his white teeth, "Better to be shattered jade than to be whole tiles!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tongzi Xuan’s soul power surged, dark golden thunder soul power enveloping him, facing death with determination.

But at that moment, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder, causing his soul power to collapse instantly.

In the next moment, Tongzi Xuan felt an irresistible force pulling him backward. He staggered and fell onto the middle-aged man's body, who helped him stay upright.

At this moment, everyone was astonished to see a young and handsome man in a white robe who had appeared in front of Tongzi Xuan without anyone noticing.

This person seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

"Killing my disciple? You have such audacity!"
