139: Battle of the Half-Saints

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

"Sun Jingming, you've done well! It's a pity you must die. Otherwise, if you live, the Karma threads will not break and will eventually be discovered by the Saint of the Liu Family!"

"Don't worry, as long as I am here, your lineage will not decline!"

At this moment, inside the Sun Family Head's main hall, the Sun Family Head was silently watching this scene.

Fortunately, Sun Jingming made this Move; otherwise, if he had acted rashly, his Sun Family would have certainly lost a legion, and more importantly, a Half-Saint battle would have erupted.

A powerhouse of the Half-Saint Realm is an extremely important fighting force even among the Eight Great Saint Families, especially when the Saints of each Family are temporarily unable to act. The number of Half-Saints can determine each Family's influence in the Saint Palace.

Among the Eight Families, the Sheng Family had the most Half-Saints, which is why their Clan Chief could long serve as the Palace Master and control the general trend of the Zhengyuan Holy Domain.

His Sun Family ranked fourth among the Eight Families, only slightly stronger than the Liu Family.

If it had been them facing the Xu Family this time, and they lost a Half-Saint, that gap would quickly be surpassed by the Liu Family.

"Hmph!"

"An explanation? Since your Liu Family dares to attack my Xu Family, then be prepared for annihilation!"

Wang Changfeng took a step forward, his Divine Might vast. He showed no weakness, and his voice, imbued with Divine Power, quickly spread throughout this region!

Whoosh!

Upon hearing this, the faces of the powerhouses were filled with shock.

One must know that the Liu Family was a Saint Family; to speak of annihilating the Liu Family was truly arrogant.

"Bastard!"

"How dare you!"

Several Half-Saints of the Liu Family were furious upon hearing this.

Their Half-Saint Aura erupted, stirring the heavens and earth for countless miles.

"Enough talk! Let's see who's stronger in a real fight!"

Wang Xuanming's cold voice fell, and together with Wang Changfeng, he released endless Divine Might. Then, their figures flashed, and they launched a powerful attack.

Rumble!

Wang Xuanming acted, instantly mobilizing the small world within his body, enveloping the five Half-Saints of the Liu Family, and then taking them to the outer heavens.

"Arrogant!"

"You're courting death!"

The Liu Family Half-Saints became even more enraged when they saw Wang Xuanming suddenly make a Move, and they all attacked!

"Fire Realm!"

Wang Xuanming's voice was like a grand bell, resounding through the small world. The temperature of the entire world suddenly soared, and purple flames rose, covering the sky and earth, a vast purple expanse without end.

"Like a spring breeze!"

Wang Changfeng made his Move. A gentle breeze swept by, and under this breeze, the purple sea of fire surged wildly.

"Fire Dance Under Heaven!"

Wang Xuanming lightly shouted, and the purple sea of fire danced with it, emitting whooshing sounds. Tens of millions of purple flames flew out, their terrifying Aura shredding the Void Realm, rushing towards the Liu Family Half-Saints like a tsunami. Their attacks were also instantly incinerated.

"Yi Wood Saint Art!"

"Boundless Falling Wood!"

...The Liu Family Half-Saints all used their Martial Skills. The Saint of the Liu Family had achieved Sainthood through the Origin of Yi Wood, so most people in the Liu Family Cultivated the Dao of Wood.

Originally, fire countered wood, naturally suppressing it, but with five Half-Saints working together, their Aura was not weakened.

Rumble!

Sounds that shook the heavens and earth echoed through the Void Realm.

The two sides were like Immortals in the Nine Heavens, constantly clashing. Each collision caused the Void Realm to collapse for hundreds of thousands of miles. With every wave of their hands, terrifying Divine Abilities shook the heavens and earth, causing the hearts of the observing beings to tremble in shock.

This was a Half-Saint battle. If it weren't for the small world isolating them and the battle taking place in the outer heavens, the mere aftershocks would cause devastating damage to the beings within thousands of miles of the surrounding area.

"It's terrifying. Is this the horror of a Half-Saint?"

"That vast Divine Might alone could shatter me!"

"No wonder there haven't been any Half-Saint battles for hundreds of thousands of years; such existences are truly terrifying!"

Countless Martial Artists watched the battle in the outer heavens with awe.

At the same time, this battle also attracted the attention of countless ancient existences. Their Divine Thoughts spanned hundreds of millions of miles, looking towards this battlefield.

"I didn't expect these two Half-Saints from the Xu Family to be so powerful. They can actually suppress the five Half-Saints of the Liu Family. If it weren't for that old fellow Liu Nantian, those few Half-Saints of the Liu Family would surely suffer casualties!"

"Indeed! Both Liu Nantian and the two from the Xu Family are incredibly powerful. This old man even feels a sense of dread. Perhaps, like Liu Nantian, these two are only half a step away from that supreme Realm!"

"What is the Origin of this Xu Family? If it weren't for this battle, this old man would not have known that such an existence as the Xu Family existed!"

The Divine Thoughts of ancient existences intertwined.

"The Xu Family comes from the Tianguan Realm where Saint Xu Zhengge sat in meditation!"

Just then, an ancient existence revealed the Origin of the Xu Family!

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the ancient existences were shocked!

"The Xu Family!"

The Sun Family Head frowned. He hadn't expected the Xu Family to have such an Origin, as he hadn't had the energy to investigate their background. If he had known, he would never have allowed Sun Jingming to demand an explanation.

This was because it stemmed from the Saint Xu Zhengge. Although this person was a Saint, he was not an ordinary Saint, but a Saintly Figure.

The title "Saintly Figure" originated from the Tianwu Empire. It was a conferment given to Saints under the rule of the Tianwu Empire, equivalent to a noble title in an Imperial Dynasty.

Xu Zhengge had cultivated many powerhouses for the Tianwu Empire, which is why he was granted the title of Saintly Figure. His close friends and Disciples were all Saint Realm existences.

If the Xu Family was connected to that individual, then it would be troublesome!

No, the Liu Family should be the one in trouble!

Thinking of this, the Sun Family Head decided to increase the resources for Sun Jingming's lineage, intending to Cultivate two Divine Emperors for them.

Those paying attention to this place also included members of the Liu Family. Upon hearing this news, they immediately felt it was troublesome.

Liu Family Main Hall!

"Clan Chief, the Xu Family..."

A Half-Saint of the Liu Family looked at Liu Yangsheng, who was in the main seat!

Liu Yangsheng's face was gloomy. "It's not certain yet! That Saintly Figure Xu doesn't seem to have any offspring!"

The high-ranking members of the Liu Family frowned upon hearing this.

"The one who just spoke should be that old fellow Yan Shunhai. That Tianguan Realm is managed by the Yan Family. I'll go to the Yan Family now to inquire about the situation!"

A Half-Saint finished speaking and vanished into the Void Realm.

"Clan Chief, looking at this situation, the Xu Family won't be easily dealt with for a while. Nantian and the others are clearly no match for the Xu Family. How about we retreat first and discuss it after Nan Mo returns from the Yan Family?"

The Half-Saint from before spoke again.

Liu Yangsheng nodded unwillingly upon hearing this.

On the other side, on the outer heavens battlefield, the leading Half-Saint of the Liu Family immediately made a decision after receiving the news.

They exchanged glances, simultaneously unleashed powerful Moves to force back Wang Xuanming and the other, and then blasted open the small world, rushing out.

"Liu Nantian is... running away!"

"Hiss!"

"Strange, although the two from the Xu Family are Peak Half-Saints, they are slightly inferior to Liu Nantian. Even if the five Half-Saints of the Liu Family are a bit weaker when working together, there's no need to be afraid, right!"

The ancient existences were puzzled.

Wang Xuanming and the other saw the five members of the Liu Family retreat and immediately wanted to pursue them.

However, something even faster than them appeared. A jade-green light extended from the Void Realm, and instantly, the entire world was frozen. The figures of the five Half-Saints of the Liu Family were also confined at this moment.

"It's that jade-green branch again. What exactly is this thing?"

"Why do I feel such immense terror!"

Seeing this familiar branch, many ancient existences looked horrified.

Just now, the Blood Refining Marquis's Saint Weapon was taken away by this jade-green branch. At that time, they only caught a fleeting glimpse and didn't have time to investigate the situation.

But seeing it again now, they immediately felt that it contained supreme Divine Might.
