142: Chapter 142: The Rumors Are Actually True! Cut into Pieces!
Fu You’s words astonished everyone present. “What did he say? Does this mean he’s still not leaving?”
Today’s events had already caused the Lanyue Sect to lose face and suffer heavy losses, yet he was still not satisfied, even refusing Young Master Ling Yu Fan’s invitation.
Man Dali gave Ling Yu Fan a simple, honest smile, then burped and said, “Hehe, um, Young Master, I still have matters to attend to. I’ll visit in a few days. I can eat a lot, so you’ll have to prepare plenty of delicious food for me then.”
Ling Yu Fan’s eyes held a trace of confusion. He wasn't angry about their refusal, just a little surprised.
For Fu You and Man Dali, staying in front of the Lanyue Sect was still somewhat dangerous. Although he didn’t know Man Dali’s true Battle Intent, the Lanyue Sect still had a Great Saint Old Ancestor.
Once one reached the Saint Realm, it was no longer as easy to fight across Realms as before. Being able to cross a minor Realm was already considered Prodigy-level.
Heavenly Dao’s Children like Ling Yu Fan could, at most, use their special Physique to fight a Saint at Perfection while only being at the Early Stage of the Saint Realm.
To fight across a major Realm, he had only heard of the Young Emperor from the Barren Continent, who, while in the Saint Realm, Heaven-Defyingly defeated eight Great Saints!
It was clear how difficult it was to fight across major Realms, which was why he found their refusal to leave strange.
At this moment, the most excited person was Yue Hua. These two had almost cost him his life and caused his Lanyue Sect to lose half of its treasures.
He had originally intended to temporarily swallow his anger and seek an opportunity to kill them later, thinking Ling Yu Fan would be present. He never expected Fu You and Man Dali to refuse the invitation and choose not to leave.
“Hmph, since you insist on seeking death, then I shall grant it to you!”
Yue Hua let out a low growl in his heart, and his Divine Sense surged towards the depths of the Sect. Before long, a terrifying Great Saint Qi emanated from afar.
A grey-robed old man appeared from within the Lanyue Sect, standing at the front of the square, his Great Saint Qi permeating the air.
The old man first stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Ling Xiao, then turned his gaze towards Man Dali. Although he was a Great Saint, the Qingxu Valley had several Great Saints, not to mention Saint King Old Ancestors.
The grey-robed old man’s aged face was filled with killing intent. He spoke to Man Dali with a chilling tone, “Since you insist on seeking death, then stay here!”
Man Dali’s simple, honest face became solemn. The person behind him was Jiang Xuan’s friend, which meant he was also his friend.
“I promised Brother Jiang Xuan, and I must fulfill it. Entrusted by others, loyal to their affairs—this is the principle Grandpa Village Chief taught me since I was a child.”
A flicker of determination crossed Man Dali’s heart. It seemed he would have to use that move.
Just then, a gentle voice entered his mind, “Brother Dali, thank you. Leave the rest to me.”
Upon hearing this, Man Dali secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his face returned to its honest expression.
“Yue Hua, go capture that Supreme Realm ant. The bead must be on him,” the grey-robed old man said with a chilling expression.
“As for you, this Old Man will send you to Reincarnation right now!” The old man pointed at Man Dali, his body surging with Great Saint power, then he pointed a finger out.
Everyone around them retreated! A battle between Saints was no joke.
A long beam of light shot towards Man Dali at high speed. The terrifying aftershock along its path compressed the air, causing a buzzing sound.
The old man’s lips curled into a chilling smile. He intended to kill this ignorant young man with a single finger!
Suddenly, a giant lotus appeared in front of Man Dali, with faint Chaos Qi flowing from its petals.
In the Void Realm, the finger imbued with Great Saint power touched the green lotus. It merely caused a ripple before vanishing without a trace.
“What?!” The grey-robed old man couldn’t believe his eyes, his pupils contracting violently. His attack had been blocked so effortlessly?
He abruptly looked towards the green lotus, only to see a white-robed figure standing with hands behind his back above the lotus. Chaos Qi permeated his surroundings, and his gaze was profound, as if a single look could make one fall into an abyss.
“This, this is… Chaos Seed Green Lotus! Who exactly are you?!”
The old man’s aged face paled in shock, and he let out an uncontrolled cry. Due to his long years in seclusion, he didn't know what the person before him signified. The legendary Chaos Holy Body had actually appeared before his eyes and become an enemy of his Sect!
At this moment, he felt like he could kill Yue Hua out of fear.
In the distance, Ling Yu Fan’s eyes shone brightly, and his entire body trembled with excitement. A powerful Battle Intent erupted from within him. “It’s you, the legendary Young Emperor of the Barren Continent! What a coincidence, indeed! Your demeanor is truly unparalleled!”
From the people of the Barren Continent, he learned that the Young Emperor of the Barren Continent not only possessed Heaven-Defying Battle Intent but also had an appearance and demeanor that surpassed all others. Seeing him today, it was indeed well-deserved.
The people around them were even more dumbfounded. They had only come for a wedding banquet; there was no need to make such a big deal out of it.
First, they had witnessed a major scandal, and now they had actually seen a legendary figure. The Young Emperor of the Barren Continent was real, and he truly possessed the Eternal First Physique, the Chaos Holy Body!
At this moment, they wished they could immediately return to tell their friends and family about this news. The legend that had shaken the entire continent had actually been confirmed by their own eyes. Who else could boast more than them in the future?
“Oh my goodness, Brother Jiang Xuan, so you’re the Young Emperor of the Barren Continent they always talk about.” Man Dali quickly came to Jiang Xuan’s side, his simple, honest face filled with shock.
His large eyes stared unblinkingly at Jiang Xuan, as if he were looking at some rare species.
Jiang Xuan was amused by his appearance and said, “Dali, you did well just now.”
Praised by the legendary figure, Man Dali immediately felt a bit shy, scratching his head. “Hehe, Brother Jiang Xuan, you flatter me.”
Jiang Xuan smiled, then turned back, his expression becoming indifferent. The Lanyue Sect Old Ancestor, dragging Yue Hua, stumbled and crawled to Jiang Xuan’s front, then knelt on the ground with a thud.
“Young Emperor, please spare my life… This Old Man was blind and became an enemy of Your Excellency. Please, Your Excellency, spare our lives…”
The grey-robed old man couldn’t muster even a shred of resistance in his heart. The person before him was someone who dared to cleave even a Great Emperor. In front of him, he was just a single slash away from death.
Jiang Xuan looked down at the two and said softly, “Fu You.”
“Your Excellency.” Fu You stepped forward and bowed.
Jiang Xuan nodded, then said to the two kneeling on the ground, “Bring all the Disciples of your Lanyue Sect and their family members.”
The old man was startled but dared not disobey Jiang Xuan’s command. He hastily gathered all the Sect Disciples. In a short while, the entire square was filled with kneeling people, all terrified and anxiously awaiting their fate.
The old man cautiously said, “Y-Your Excellency, everyone from the Sect, including their family members, is here.”
Jiang Xuan grinned, his expression unreadable. “Good, very good.”
After speaking, Jiang Xuan’s expression suddenly turned cold, and the power of Space instantly erupted. Yue Hua, the old man, and all the Lanyue Sect Disciples immediately became immobile.
The old man’s face changed drastically. “This is the power of Space!”
Without time to think, he hurriedly shouted at Jiang Xuan, “Young Emperor, that matter has nothing to do with me! It was all Yue Hua’s idea. He ordered the slaughter of an entire city’s people. I only found out about it afterward. Please, Young Emperor, show mercy…”
However, no matter how he pleaded, Jiang Xuan remained unmoved. The old man’s heart immediately sank to the bottom. He tried to break free from the restraints.
But Jiang Xuan’s Great Dao of Space had progressed rapidly, combined with Chaos power and Extreme Dao power. How could a Great Saint like him break free?
“Fu You, act.”
Fu You’s faint words entered the ears of the old man and the others, like a key opening the gates of Hell, sending them into the abyss.
Fu You had long been waiting at the side. Upon receiving Jiang Xuan’s command, a cold blade suddenly appeared in his hand. He walked step by step towards Yue Hua and the others, his eyes bloodshot, as the scene of his entire clan being mercilessly slaughtered flashed through his mind!
“Ah!!!” Fu You let out a roar, holding the cold blade and charging towards Yue Hua. He didn’t use his spiritual power; he wanted to cut Yue Hua into a thousand pieces, one slice at a time!
“Pfft, pfft…” The sound of the cold blade piercing flesh continuously echoed. Fu You, like a madman, his eyes bloodshot, tirelessly hacked at Yue Hua. With each strike, a face would appear in his mind, smiling at him. Those were his family members.
After an unknown amount of time, Fu You collapsed to the ground, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath. Yue Hua, who was confined by the power of Space, was already a mangled mess of flesh and bone, his white bones faintly visible. He had long since ceased to breathe.
