Chapter 282 Battle of Tianye (Part 1)

The two exchanged a single blow, testing each other's strength.

Within hundreds of miles around Guer Mountain, the heavens shook and the earth quaked; the gathered Heaven Realm experts were shocked into silence.

"This... this... since when has the Southern Dynasty produced such a figure?!"

Helian Zhu, a clan elder of the Helian Clan, flew to Xiao Sidao's side and said with a grave expression:

"Great King of the Northern Court, is this the person who killed our Clan Chief and seized the Wolf God's sacred object?"

The Great King of the Southern Court, Helian Clan Chief, was the leader of the Helian Clan.

Xiao Sidao remained silent, his brows furrowed tightly.

Yan Chu's Aura had become even more powerful than when he had seen him in Youzhou, giving him a feeling of trepidation.

He had originally thought that with Luan Di Tianye presiding, they would be able to kill Yan Chu with certainty.

Therefore, despite the Grand Priest's prophecy, and although he had some concerns, he had still accompanied the Khan to Guer Mountain to wait for Yan Chu's arrival.

But looking at the current situation, even he was no longer certain.

"Calm down! Calm down!!"

Suddenly, from high up in the distance, someone shouted to those who were shocked by the clash between Yan Chu and the Khan:

"A mere pig and sheep from the Southern Dynasty, how could he be a match for the Khan?"

"The Khan will kill this monster from the Southern Dynasty within a few moves!"

The speaker was Batu, a close attendant of the Khan who was in charge of the imperial guards.

The crowd did not panic much.

The strength and terror of the Khan, Luan Di Tianye, were etched into their bones; a single blow now did not mean anything.

Luan Di Tianye gripped Murong Zheng's shoulder, surging his powerful True Qi to slowly force out the fire Qi that had invaded Murong Zheng's body.

Murong Zheng's skin was as red as a cooked shrimp.

In the face of that tyrannical fire Qi, his Divine Treasury power crumbled at the slightest touch, almost losing all resistance, making him think for a moment that he would die just like that.

Now that he had been saved by Luan Di Tianye, he knelt down in excitement and said gratefully:

"Thank you, Khan, for saving my life!"

Luan Di Tianye waved his hand. Murong Zheng stood up respectfully and retreated to the side, his wolf-like gaze fixed on Yan Chu, as if he wished to tear him apart and devour him alive.

Having lived for hundreds of years, this was the first time he had felt so close to death.

Yan Chu met his gaze, grinned, and chuckled:

"I don't like the way you're looking at me; I will gouge out your eyes and stir your brains into mush!"

"Hmph! Southern Dynasty person, you cannot touch anyone!"

Although Luan Di Tianye did not care much about the lives of his subordinates, as the Khan of Beiman, he had to take action. At this moment, his eyes were filled with a fiery heat as he stared at Yan Chu and said:

"Since you knew that I was presiding here, you still dared to come."

"I am truly delighted!"

The excitement on his face at this moment could not be faked; he was even more excited than he had been just now in the great tent facing a group of scantily clad, beautiful dancers.

"It has been over a hundred years since anyone has been able to fight me; such a life is truly boring!"

"I hope you can exchange more moves with me and not die so quickly; otherwise, not only will I grind your bones into dust, but I will also ravage the two women you brought to death!"

"Hmph! Nonsense!"

Yan Chu stomped his foot and soared into the air.

Swish!

He splayed his fingers, and countless red Sword Qi shot out from his fingertips. Each beam of Sword Qi carried a terrifying penetrating power that could cut through the Void Realm, raining down densely upon Guer Mountain.

This was the Nine Yang Sword Qi from the Nine Yang Five Absolutes.

Luan Di Tianye narrowed his eyes and traced a line in front of him with the eagle-headed iron staff in his hand. A huge barrier appeared in front of him. The Sword Qi whistled and slashed against the barrier, and the explosive True Qi turned the air into a layer of thick frosted glass, obscuring the view between the mountain and the base.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a figure broke through the barrier and appeared on the mountaintop.

Murong Zheng immediately shouted:

"Khan, be careful! The Southern Dynasty's Devil Head has rushed up!"

Hum!

Suddenly, a fiery red Saber Qi slashed down from above. Before the blade light even landed, the entire Guer Mountain had already split open from the middle, and the terrifying Saber Intent penetrated deep into the ground, extending for a hundred miles.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

It was unknown how many guards and members of the Murong Clan were affected by this Saber Intent; they began to explode one by one, and crisp sounds appeared in Yan Chu's ears.

However, most of them were Martial Artists below the Grandmaster level; those above the Grandmaster level had already fled in panic toward the foot of the mountain before Yan Chu's very first move.

At such a time, no one could care about them.

[Killed a Sixth Realm Martial Artist of the Murong Clan, feeling very satisfied, EXP + 5000]

[Killed a Beiman Grandmaster, feeling very satisfied, EXP + 10000, Indestructible Demonic Body + 1]

[Killed...]

Although Yan Chu's attention was on Luan Di Tianye, he still heard this voice ringing in his ears and couldn't help but raise his brows slightly.

Just what he needed.

He was just worrying about not having a suitable Body Refining Cultivation Technique, and the System had just dropped it.

As expected of his good son!

Hum!

Casting the fleeting thought to the back of his mind, Yan Chu's fiery red Saber Qi slashed down, its awe-inspiring saber might shaking the heavens and the earth.

This slash was the Blazing Sun Saber, one of the Nine Yang Five Absolutes.

Under the augmentation of his nearly Major Achievement Heavenly Saber Intent, it carried an indomitable Aura, yet it seemed to see through the reality of Luan Di Tianye, slashing specifically at his weak points.

"I have already achieved Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, and my entire body is almost without flaws; no matter how extraordinary your Saber Intent is, you still want to find my weak points?"

Luan Di Tianye's tone carried a strong sense of confidence.

The three types of Divine Treasury power on his body rotated endlessly, and the weak point that had just been found by Yan Chu immediately vanished, leaving him with almost nowhere to strike.

Clang!

The blade light slashed onto the iron staff, emitting a ringing sound like a great bell, and the air, like glass, was shattered into pieces.

Screech!

Suddenly, a high-pitched eagle cry rang out. The eagle head on the iron staff suddenly came alive, transforming into a giant iron eagle, its hook-like talons aiming straight for Yan Chu's crown.

Luan Di Tianye sneered at the corner of his mouth.

Yan Chu's Physical Body was his weakest point; not fighting him with his Primordial Spirit and True Qi, yet daring to rush up—did he really think he was a pushover?

The Eagle God worshipped on the grasslands represented the ultimate speed in the world; in less than a thousandth of a breath, the eagle talons had already landed on Yan Chu's head.

Boom!

At this moment, a terrifying Primordial Spirit power rose up.

A pitch-black deep hole appeared above Guer Mountain, with space storms surging within it.

"Hmm? Your Primordial Spirit!!"

Luan Di Tianye's eyes narrowed; he finally lost his composure from just now.

No wonder he had such confidence; it turned out his Primordial Spirit had already surpassed the Divine Treasury Realm and was about to step into the next level.

Under the influence of Yan Chu's Primordial Spirit power, that iron eagle immediately lost its independent consciousness, stumbling in the Divine Sense Domain, and finally transformed back into an ordinary eagle head, falling down.

And Luan Di Tianye only felt a terrifying suction force coming, trying to suck his Primordial Spirit into the other party's Domain.

"Ha!"

He shouted, and three hazy divine lights rose from his body, transforming into a precious flower rotating above his head, casting down silk-like light that neutralized that suction force into nothingness.

...

...

Crack!

Just as Yan Chu's Primordial Spirit power was unleashed, the space black hole in the sky grew larger and larger, with black thunder flashing within it, and a terrifying suction force acted directly upon Yan Chu's Primordial Spirit.

Yan Chu's Primordial Spirit returned to his Sea of Consciousness, and that terrifying Divine Sense finally receded like a tide between heaven and earth.

Dozens of miles away, the watching Beiman Heaven Realm experts breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had just surfaced from the water, able to breathe deeply.

Yan Chu's Primordial Spirit was too terrifying!

It gave them a feeling of being unable to resist, making one's whole body feel cold, and even space seemed to have been frozen.

Boom!

Yan Chu's Primordial Spirit had just returned when Luan Di Tianye's iron staff poked toward his chest. This strike fused his three treasures of essence, Qi, and spirit, and one could clearly see a pitch-black crack flash through space as this staff was thrust out.

Whoosh!

A gust of strong wind whistled past.

Yan Chu transformed into the wind, becoming the Nine Heavens Profound Wind, and dodged the staff at the critical moment.

On the other side, Murong Zheng dodged far away. Seeing the two fighting inseparably, his gaze shifted and he suddenly looked into the distance.

He saw Luo Jin protecting Princess Yunshu; the two women were also watching the front with beautiful eyes unblinking, their worry evident on their faces.

A sinister smile appeared on Murong Zheng's face.

"Southern Dynasty person, if I can't deal with you, can't I deal with two Southern Dynasty women?"

There were not a few who had the same thought as him.

They could not participate in the battle between the two Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown level experts, but they could still manage to capture Yan Chu's women to threaten him and force him to hold back.

With this thought flashing through, three figures immediately rushed toward Luo Jin.

One of them was Murong Zheng, and the other two were the Great Chanyu Luantu Kuo and the Helian Clan's Heaven Realm expert Helian Wugen.

Helian Wugen was Helian Clan Chief's own younger brother; after Helian Clan Chief died, he was now temporarily acting as the Clan Chief of the Helian Clan.

Boom!

As a member of the royal family, Luantu Kuo practiced the eternal heaven Demonic Technique passed down through generations of the Luan Di Clan.

This Demonic Technique was even more powerful than the Great Black Heavenly Demon Cult's Black Heaven Obscuring the Sun Great Technique, and could be called the number one Demonic Technique in the world.

He splayed one of his large hands, and a terrifying suction force acted upon Luo Jin, trying to suck out all of her True Qi and blood energy.

Although Luo Jin's attention had always been on Yan Chu, as a Heaven Realm expert, her reaction speed was naturally not bad.

Seeing three Heaven Realm experts rushing toward her at the same time, her expression changed.

Princess Yunshu, who was being protected by her, turned pale, her eyes filled with uncontrollable terror.

A Heaven Realm expert only needed a glance to stare her to death.

"Ha!"

Luo Jin let out a clear shout, and a precious sword with a misty, clear light appeared in her hand. The sword body was covered in complex runes, emitting a powerful spirituality.

Clang!

With a crisp sword chime, an astonishing Sword Intent rose from Luo Jin; her Sword Dao cultivation had actually reached the Heavenly Sword level!

She slashed out with one sword, and the Sword Qi was like a galaxy falling from the Nine Heavens, vast and boundless, immediately severing the suction force coming from Luantu Kuo's palm.

However, the remaining power of the palm force still made her expression change slightly.

After all, Luantu Kuo was a Heaven Realm expert who had opened two Divine Treasuries; the difference in cultivation was there, and it was not something her Heavenly Sword could completely neutralize.

"Hahahaha!! Beauty of the Southern Dynasty! Surrender!"

With a wanton laugh, Helian Wugen and Murong Zheng attacked from the left and right, just at the critical moment when Luo Jin had slashed out a sword and had been pushed back by Luantu Kuo.

This timing actually could not be considered an opening at all.

After all, for Heaven Realm experts, there were almost no weak points.

But for Helian Wugen and the other, this timing was enough!

Both of them struck at the same time, their terrifying Aura like ice, instantly freezing the entire sky; being in it, even one's thinking slowed down.

At such a time, facing two Heaven Realm experts whose cultivation was both above her own, Luo Jin's expression showed not the slightest hint of panic.

Murong Zheng was stunned, somewhat surprised.

Before he could think much more, a loud shout rang out from the distance:

"Retreat quickly!! Watch out behind you!!!"

Murong Zheng's scalp went numb instantly, and countless goosebumps broke out on his back.

It was as if he had been stared at by a prehistoric beast, making his hands and feet cold.

He had grown so big, and he had never had this feeling before.

This was the intuition belonging to a Heaven Realm expert.

Scanning with the corner of his eye, Helian Wugen forcibly twisted his body, just as he was rushing toward the Southern Dynasty woman's figure, emitting a roar.

That was the violent sonic boom caused by the speed being too fast and then coming to a sudden stop from a hundred kilometers.

If placed on a carriage, it would surely be destroyed, and the passengers would be killed.

But Helian Wugen was a Heaven Realm expert; he simply twisted his body and flew away as if nothing had happened, and his speed instantly reached a hundred kilometers again.

One must know that even if Helian Wugen flew for ten thousand miles continuously, he would only need to eat a meal in between.

Instant braking and acceleration were naturally not a problem for him.

It was just that his figure appeared incredibly disheveled.

These things take a long time to say, but in fact, it was just in the blink of an eye.

The one who shouted the four words "Watch out behind you" was the Left Worthy King, Luan Di Gulang.

Not only him, but others also saw it.

The Southern Dynasty Saber Devil, who had been fighting fiercely with the Khan Luan Di Tianye, suddenly disappeared from under the Khan's staff and appeared behind Murong Zheng.

The crowd did not see any trajectory of his movement technique, but rather he had drilled out directly from the wind.

"Ah!!!!"

Murong Zheng let out a roar; the terrifying Aura behind him, like needle stabs, had already left him unable to make any reaction. He could only burn his Divine Treasury power, and countless rays of blood light emerged from his body.

Bang!

Yan Chu slapped his back with one palm.

Fire Cloud Palm, Fire Dragon Piercing the Mountain!

The palm force emitted a dense purple fire Qi, directly blasting through the chest of Murong Zheng, who had opened his Physical Body Divine Treasury. The terrifying fire Qi burned all of his large intestines, small intestines, heart, liver, spleen, and lungs until nothing was left.

"Ah!!!!"

This palm was too tyrannical; after blasting through Murong Zheng's chest, only a thin layer of flesh about a finger thick remained connected on both sides of his waist and abdomen.

Intense pain and fear made him scream.

Boom!

Yan Chu had just blasted out one palm when Luan Di Tianye already appeared behind him, smashing his staff down onto his head.

His expression was gloomy to the extreme.

Yan Chu was fighting him, yet he still had the leisure to deal with others; for this Khan of Beiman, this was tantamount to a great humiliation.

He saw that there was a three-colored precious flower on his head.

An invisible force suppressed the Void Realm, and all natural forces within dozens of miles could not be generated, naturally including wind.

All movement techniques could not be used; compared to the so-called Aura suppression, it was infinitely more mysterious.

This was the unique Dao rhythm that appeared after digging the power of the three Divine Treasuries to a very deep level, with the three treasures merging into one.

Even the Nine Heavens Profound Wind from the Hun Tian Four Absolutes could not stir up any waves before this suppression force.

Because Yan Chu could no longer call upon any natural force from heaven and earth.

He swung the staff, and the Void Realm shattered.

A staff shadow hundreds of feet large fell toward Yan Chu's head.
