316: Chapter 316: Battle of Wuman City

"Haha! Why wouldn't I dare? Your Lan Wu Clan has long since declined. Do you still think it's the ancient era?"

The old man holding the giant axe laughed heartily.

The old man was the Old Ancestor of the Black Barbarian Clan. He had lived for a long time and was of the same generation as the Lan Wu Clan Clan Chief.

Moreover, his Black Barbarian Clan was far more powerful than the Lan Wu Clan, so naturally, he would not fear the other party's threats!

"Hmph! Although my Lan Wu Clan has declined, this is not a place where you can act presumptuously!" The Lan Wu Clan Clan Chief's eyes flickered, his pupils glowing with a faint red light.

He then unleashed the Wuding again, crashing it toward the old man holding the giant axe!

"Well come! Let me see if you, Wu Tianman, have made any progress during this time!"

Seeing the giant cauldron attacking, the old man was not afraid. The giant axe in his hand instantly enlarged tenfold, and he smashed it toward the Wuding.

As he swung it, the phantom of a terrifying giant beast rushed out from within, charging fiercely ahead!

The giant axe in his hand was not simple; it was the ancestral Spiritual Artifact of his Black Barbarian Clan, forged from the skull and ribs of a Sacred Beast! It even had a trace of a Sacred Beast's Soul sealed inside.

Although it hadn't been forged into a Sacred Artifact, it was a quasi-Sacred Artifact, no worse than the Lan Wu Clan's Wuding.

"Boom!"

The two attacks collided in the sky, emitting a blinding light, and then stirred up a terrifying shockwave.

The surrounding houses and onlookers were instantly shattered by this terrifying shockwave, then vanished between heaven and earth, as if they had never existed, leaving no trace behind!

On the other side, the black-robed man who had been knocked back by the Lan Wu Clan Clan Chief flew back. High in the sky, he viciously stomped toward the beast carriage where the Lan Wu Clan Saintess was located!

A black foot, over a hundred meters in size, like the sole of a giant, fell heavily downward.

This man in black was also a Half-Saint Realm Martial Artist with terrifying strength. Judging solely by his aura, he had already reached the Middle Stage of the Half-Saint Realm, possessing extraordinary power.

Upon seeing this, the sixteen Wushen Knights' eyes immediately became extremely grave. Although the sixteen of them combined were said to be able to fight a Half-Saint Realm expert!

But that was only against an Early Stage Half-Saint Realm expert; they would not be a match for someone at the Middle Stage of the Half-Saint Realm.

However, facing the incoming attack, they could not dodge and had no choice but to bite the bullet and take it head-on.

Black mist erupted from their bodies as they gathered together, and the bone battle spears in their hands thrust upward in unison toward the giant foot!

"Boom!"

The black giant foot was pierced and shattered, turning into a cloud of black smoke that vanished into the air.

However, the sixteen Wushen Knights all spat out a mouthful of blood simultaneously, their faces turning pale!

"Protect the Saintess, Your Highness!"

A Lan Wu Clan Elder unleashed a technique, stretching out a withered hand that transformed into a massive palm, slapping toward the man in black in the sky.

The man in black let out a "cackle," and an evil blade condensed in his hand, radiating an aura of evil, filth, gloom, and bloodthirst.

He then made a slight slashing motion forward, shattering the incoming giant hand, and continued to slash toward that Elder!

"Pfft!"

The evil blade cut the Lan Wu Clan Elder in two, and blood splattered, covering the streets of Wuman City.

This man in black was truly too powerful; with a casual strike, he had slain a powerful Heavenly Human Realm expert, shocking everyone in the Lan Wu Clan.

After dealing with the Lan Wu Clan Elder, the man in black turned and attacked the sixteen Wushen Knights again.

He suddenly slashed the evil blade forward, carving out a blade beam over a thousand zhang long.

"Protect the Saintess, Your Highness!"

Seeing this, a black flame rose from the sixteen Wushen Knights simultaneously, and they suddenly merged together, transforming into a giant over a dozen meters tall.

The sixteen bone spears also transformed into a single massive bone spear, which they then thrust forward violently.

"Boom!"

The thousand-zhang blade beam was shattered by the spear, turning into specks of starlight.

"Burning your life force? Even if you do that, it is meaningless, because you simply cannot stop me!"

The man in black looked at this scene and said disdainfully. Burning life force could indeed greatly increase the combat power of these sixteen Wushen Knights in the short term!

But even so, how long could the other party hold out? At most, twenty breaths of time, and they would die from exhaustion of life force!

"Roar!"

The sixteen giant-sized Wushen Knights let out a roar; they had already resolved themselves to die, determined to protect the Saintess even if they fell in battle here.

At this moment, the Lan Wu Clan Saintess stepped out of the carriage, her eyes as calm as water, gazing at the man in black in the air.

She gently raised her hand, and a mysterious blue light shot out from her hand, flying straight toward the man in black.

Seeing the incoming blue light, the man in black immediately felt a sense of crisis and, without thinking, dodged to the side!

The blue light struck a distant mountain peak, and the entire peak instantly exploded, filling the air with dust.

Seeing this, the man in black was shocked. He hadn't expected the Lan Wu Clan Saintess to possess such a powerful item!

That blue light just now must have been a full-power strike sealed by a Late Stage Half-Saint Realm Martial Artist. If he had chosen to take it head-on, he would definitely have been injured!

"To think you had such a good thing, but it's useless. Although it could injure me, it cannot hit me!"

The man in black gave the Lan Wu Clan Saintess a faint smile, then suddenly slashed out with his blade again, aiming for her head, without the slightest shred of mercy!

"Saintess, Your Highness, dodge quickly!"

The giant formed by the sixteen Wushen Knights roared in a hurry, then held the spear and collided with the evil blade!

With a bang, the sixteen Wushen Knights were knocked flying, disintegrating in mid-air.

The man in black then swung his blade again, continuing to slash toward the Lan Wu Clan Saintess, as if he would not stop until he achieved his goal.

"How bold! You dare to kill our clan's Saintess within my Lan Wu Clan!"

Just then, a cold shout came from the distance, and a figure quickly appeared in front of the Lan Wu Clan Saintess, waving a hand forward to shatter the incoming blade beam.

Then, she slapped toward the man in black.

"Boom!"

The previously ferocious man in black was instantly sent flying with a slap.

"Wu Qingqing, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. If you had been one step later, your precious disciple would have died at my hands!"

Seeing Wu Qingqing appear, the man in black was not afraid and spoke with a chuckle!

"Tuoba Ye, are you courting death? How dare you come to my Lan Wu Clan and act presumptuously! It seems you don't want to live anymore. Since that's the case, then stay here forever!"

Wu Qingqing looked at the man in black and said coldly, her beautiful eyes filled with icy killing intent.
