191: Take action

The moment Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu stepped forward without hesitation, blocking Yu Jizi and the others, the entire scene first fell silent, then erupted into an even greater uproar!

"It's them! The two Prodigies who triggered the Dao Rhyme resonance just now!"

"My heavens! They actually intend to directly challenge a Glazed Holy Land Elder for that fatty?"

"Are they crazy?! Even if they are exceptionally talented and their Dao Rhyme is astonishing, they are still young! Elder Yu Jizi is a King Realm Middle Stage powerhouse who has been famous for a long time!"

"Alas! What a pity! Such astonishingly talented saplings, if they could grow steadily, would surely become giants of the Eastern Region in the future! But now, must they perish prematurely for an unrelated person?"

"How foolish! Relying on a bit of talent and not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth! How can the dignity of a Holy Land King be challenged by a Genius who has not yet matured?"

This time, many eyes showed pity, incomprehension, and even a hint of disappointment.

They all acknowledged the exceptional talent of Xiao and Fang; the anomaly of the Dao Rhyme resonance earlier was still vivid in their minds.

But precisely because they recognized their talent, they felt even more strongly that their action was like striking a stone with an egg, ruining their own future.

In everyone's opinion, no matter how dazzling a Genius, before maturing, rashly confronting an experienced King, the outcome was already predetermined.

On the cliff, Taixuan Saint Yun Yicheng saw this scene, and a clear hint of regret and a trace of displeasure appeared on his gentle face.

He shook his head lightly and sighed, "What a pity, truly a pity."

"I thought I had discovered two beautiful jades, and out of a desire to cherish talent, I wished to guide them into my Supreme Mystery Holy Land to jointly comprehend the Dao. But I didn't expect... they would be such ignorant and impulsive individuals."

"Possessing world-shaking talent, yet lacking the wisdom to assess the situation. Relying on a bit of talent, they presumptuously try to stop a chariot with their arms, challenging the authority of a Holy Land? Truly... overestimating themselves."

"It seems I misjudged them. With such Heart-Nature, no matter how high their talent, they will struggle to achieve greatness and will eventually perish midway."

He seemed to have already foreseen the impending "fall" of Xiao Ruobai and the other.

In his eyes, a Genius who could not be used by him and was about to perish had already lost all value.

However, the next moment—

Facing Yu Jizi's furious strike, powerful enough to crush an ordinary Heavenly Human Realm Cultivator, Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu not only did not retreat but simultaneously took a step forward!

"Buzz—!"

A terrifying Battle Intent, far more majestic and vast than before, shining like the sun, erupted from his body like a dormant volcano, soaring into the sky!

His cultivation Qi continuously surged, instantly breaking through a certain limit, and astonishingly reached—the Heavenly Human Realm! And he was by no means a newcomer to the Heavenly Human Realm; the depth of his foundation was astounding!

The Nine Heavens Dragon Soul Halberd in his hand let out an impassioned Dragon roar, and the golden halberd light surged, no longer just a mereabout ten feet (zhang xu, about 3 meters), but transformed into a golden lightning bolt tearing through the sky.

Subtle Dragon shadows coiled around the halberd's edge, carrying an indomitable Battle Intent that could shatter all methods, directly meeting the Liuli Sword Qi without dodging, and fiercely cleaving down!

"Break!"

On the other side, Fang Hanyu moved almost simultaneously with Xiao Ruobai's eruption.

His aura suddenly became ethereal and elusive; his entire being seemed to merge into a state of Chaos.

His cultivation was also released without reservation—Heavenly Human Realm! A Chaos Sword Intent, seemingly capable of encompassing all things and also annihilating all things, permeated the air.

The Primordial Sword was not fully unsheathed; only three inches of its cold edge were exposed. He used two fingers to swipe across the scabbard!

"Chh—!"

A subtle, hair-thin, grey Sword Qi shot out silently. This Sword Qi seemed slow, yet it instantly transcended space, arriving first despite being launched later.

It did not directly target Yu Jizi's body but precisely cut towards several nodes where his connection with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was strongest! Wherever it passed, Spiritual Qi was annihilated, and Dao principles were temporarily severed!

"What?! Heavenly Human Realm?!!"

The contempt and killing intent on Yu Jizi's face instantly froze, transforming into extreme shock and disbelief!

These two seemingly young juniors were actually in the Heavenly Human Realm?! How was this possible?!

What astounded him even more was that not only was their cultivation far beyond his expectation, but their combat skills and Dao Rhyme were also bizarre and powerful!

"Boom—!!!"

The golden halberd light and the Liuli Sword Qi collided violently, producing a deafening roar! An energy storm instantly swept out!

The expected crushing defeat did not occur!

Xiao Ruobai's halberd, imbued with the will to destroy, actually shattered the Liuli Sword Qi. Although the halberd light also dimmed a few shades, he only swayed slightly before standing firm!

And almost simultaneously, Fang Hanyu's Chaos Sword Qi arrived!

Yu Jizi only felt his body stiffen, as if he had instantly fallen into a quagmire; his communication with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi became obscure and sluggish, and the power he had gathered scattered a few points!

The two of them, working together, with a single strike, actually forced the enraged Elder Yu Jizi to retreat, even putting him at a slight disadvantage!

Silence!

A deathly silence!

All sounds of pity, discussion, and doubt ceased abruptly!

Throughout the entire Demon Heaven Sect ruins, whether it was the Loose Cultivators in the market, the Supreme Mystery Holy Land disciples on the distant cliff, or the scouts from other forces hidden in the shadows, all were dumbfounded and utterly silent!

Everyone's brains almost stopped thinking, leaving only boundless shock!

"Celestial... Heavenly Human Realm?! They two... are actually in the Heavenly Human Realm?!"

"With Heavenly Human Realm cultivation, resisting a King Realm Middle Stage?! This... how is this possible?!"

The expressions on everyone's faces completely froze, instantly transforming from pity and incomprehension to extreme shock and disbelief!

Yun Yicheng's expression of pity and judgment also instantly froze, turning blank. He abruptly stood up, and an unprecedented brilliance burst forth from his gentle eyes!

Throughout the entire Demon Heaven Sect ruins, only the aftershocks of the energy storm howled, and countless stunned gazes focused on those two figures, who were impossibly young yet incredibly powerful!

Yu Jizi was forced back by a single strike, and waves of soreness came from his arm; his heart was filled with a terrifying shock like a monstrous wave!

He had never expected that these two seemingly young juniors had not only reached the Heavenly Human Realm but their combat power was also terrifyingly formidable!

"That was just a casual strike from this one, not using full power, yet you managed to block it? I truly underestimated you!"

Yu Jizi became enraged out of humiliation, and the killing intent in his eyes surged, "Since that's the case, let me show you what true King's might is!"

He no longer held back in the slightest; the majestic Spiritual Qi of a King Realm Middle Stage powerhouse erupted!

The Liuli Holy Light around him shone like a blazing sun, condensing into a gigantic Liuli Palm Print that spanned the sky!

Daolines (Dao patterns) flowed on the palm print, exuding a terrifying aura that could suppress all things and incinerate the eight wastes! This palm strike was several times more powerful than before!

"Liuli Sky-Treading Palm! Die for this one!"

The colossal palm covered the sky and obscured the sun, descending fiercely upon Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu with an irresistible might!

Before the palm wind even arrived, the ground below had already cracked, and the air seemed about to ignite!
