“He’s too powerful!”
“They don’t stand a chance even if it’s three against one!”
“Devouring Gifted Bloodline… How could there be such an ability?!”
The surrounding disciples were incredibly astounded, so much so that they were afraid. After all, this ability was way too terrifying.
“Valley Master, what should we do?” An elder of Fu Xi Valley turned towards Mo Shans.h.i.+, who was looking genuinely worried.
Although Fu Xi Valley had lost the rights to partic.i.p.ate in the Martial Arts Compet.i.tion, it didn’t mean that they became an outsider in the Heaven Alliance Meeting.
Balance!
That was the basis of the existence of the Five Sects of the Holy Region.
It was because of this basis that the conflicts between the Five Sects of the Holy Region for the past thousands of years did not cross the line. However, there was a possibility that this balance could be broken at the moment.
‘The outstanding ones would be brought down by jealousy!” Mo Shans.h.i.+ clenched his fists and said coldly.
“Valley Master, you aren’t wrong, but at the moment, Nangong Hao is…” Gu Yuan looked at Nangong Hao. He obviously understood the reasoning behind Mo Shans.h.i.+’s words. However, it wasn’t applicable to all situations, such as the one they were facing. For example, Nangong Hao seemed to be almost completely out of control at this instance.
“The status of the Five Sects of the Holy Region can’t be broken. If it’s necessary, the five sects would have to combine forced!” A chilling light flashed across Mo Shans.h.i.+’s eyes.
“Ok, I understand.” Gu Yuan nodded and stopped asking any further questions because he knew very well that this was the only solution currently.
Meanwhile, at Heaven Dao Pavilion.
Mu Qingfeng also looked ghastly. Although he was truly trying to prevent any negative impacts brought about by the sudden changes in the world by hosting the Heaven Alliance Meeting, he had another intention in mind, which was to promote Chi Guyan as the true Chosen One.
However, the situation seemed to have gotten a little out of control.
Putting aside the fact that both Yan Xiu and Ping Yang posed a tremendous threat to Heaven Dao Pavilion since they became Sages, even Nangong n.o.bles showed up. With over a dozen Sages, they were almost as strong as any of the Five Sects of the Holy Region.
To make things worse, Nangong Mu and Nangong Hao’s successive appearance had pushed Heaven Dao Pavilion into a corner.
Nangong Hao…
Was too powerful!
“Are you alive, Yan Qing?”
“I’m… Fine.”
“Ok, it’s my turn now. Prepare to die, Nangong Hao!” Ping Yang’s words interrupted Mu Qingfeng’s thoughts and brought everyone’s attention back to the fight again.
Ping Yang was shrouded in a crimson flame, and a golden radiance was flas.h.i.+ng on Blazing Qilin Spear. Her ferocious attack went straight towards Nangong Hao’s throat.
“Ping Yang, don’t do it!” Chi Guyan trembled when she saw Ping Yang charging towards Nangong Hao. She wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
Nangong Hao was smiling faintly. His smile wasn’t too obvious, but it seemed chilling when it was combined with the b.l.o.o.d.y light flowing in his eyes.
A sanguine light flashed by.
Ping Yang was sent flying backward.
Blood gushed out of her shoulder. If she hadn’t become entered Sage State, which allowed her to forcefully evade the attack at the critical moment, the sanguine light would have pierced her heart.
“Yang’er!”
“Ping Yang!”
Qian Yu and Lin Mubai shouted at the same time.
At this instance, Chi Guyan moved again. The five-colored snake tail whipped towards Nangong Hao like a bolt of lightning, leaving a faint shadow behind.
Boom! Nangong Hao stepped back, but it was just a single step.
However, Chi Guyan’s attack didn’t end there. After it struck Nangong Hao once, it started swaying crazily like a whip.
Boom boom boom… A series of thundering bangs shook the entire Heaven’s Peak. Many cracks started appearing on the ground.
However, the collision didn’t last too long.
That was because Chi Guyan was becoming paler as she controlled her Gifted Bloodline until eventually, she vomited blood.
“Pfttt!” She spewed a mouthful of blood into the air.
While that happened, there was a sharp screeching sound which sounded like metals grinding against each other.
Ka! The snake tail which was swaying around crazily suddenly stopped moving. It was because a hand had gripped it tightly.
However, at this moment, someone appeared beside Nangong Hao. He was fast as lighting and there was a bloodstain at the corner of his mouth.
However, that didn’t affect his movement.
He threw a punch.
Boom! Nangong Hao took another step back. The b.l.o.o.d.y light in his eyes flashed, but he didn’t let go of the snake tail.
This was a tangled fight.
In this 3v1 battle, even though Yan Qing, Ping Yang, and Chi Guyan couldn’t coordinate with each other nicely, none of them was going to back off.
After Yan Qing threw his first punch, the second one followed almost immediately. There was nothing but madness in his expression.
However, his didn’t technically throw a second punch, because Nangong Hao’s sword was so much faster. As the sanguine light flashed, Yan Qing was sent flying again.
At the meantime, Nangong Hao retracted his hand violently. The golden symbols were flowing on the black armor that covered his arm as he pulled Chi Guyan towards him.
“Sister Yan!” Blazing Qilin Spear stabbed at Nangong Hao once again as they heard Ping Yang’s voice. The golden radiance that looked like a snake coming out of its cave struck his arm.
However, her spear didn’t manage to pierce through the armor on Nangong Hao’s body.
Boom! He kicked Ping Yang away. Chi Guyan also crashed onto the ground heavily at the same time, as she was pale as a sheet.
“He’s too powerful!”
“Given on badly wounded Chi Guyan is, she couldn’t possibly defeat Nangong Hao even with Ping Yang’s and Yan Qing’s help. They don’t belong at the same level!”
“Why is Nangong Hao so powerful?!”
The surrounding disciples shook their heads at Chi Guyan and Ping Yang, who had dropped to the ground, as well as Yan Qing, who was struggling to stand up.
That was because they clearly knew, that no matter how hard the three of them tried, they couldn’t change the outcome of this fight.
The only difference…
Was how long it’d take.
“That d.a.m.ned Nangong Hao, sister Yan… Are you ok?” Blood was also flowing out of the corner of Ping Yang’s mouth, but she still looked extremely determined.
“I’m… Fine…” Chi Guyan wanted to stand up, but her arms were trembling nonstop and unable to support her body.
The elders of Heaven Dao Pavilion clenched their fists tightly without realizing it when they saw this.
“Pavilion Master, this fight cannot go on any longer!”
“That’s right… Nangong Hao is too strong, furthermore, Guyan is severely injured, what if…”
“Do you guys think that Guyan would concede defeat?” Mu Qingfeng bit his lips tightly. He knew the elders’ concerns, but he also knew Chi Guyan’s personality.
She couldn’t possibly admit defeat.
Boom! Yan Qing, who had just managed to stand up and was charging towards Nangong Hao, was sent flying again. As he landed on the ground, a sword pierced through the upper portion of his chest once more.
“Ao!” Yan Qing cried out in pain and his eyes turned red. He looked like he couldn’t accept this outcome no matter what.
“The Indestructible Body is pretty decent.” Nangong Hao looked at Yan Qing and shoved his Wuwei Sword farther into Yan Qing’s body. With that, blood started gus.h.i.+ng out from above his chest.
This fight was part of the Heaven Alliance Meeting’s Martial Arts Compet.i.tion. Nangong Hao didn’t want to kill them, but he didn’t want Yan Qing to stand up again either.
“Sister Yan, you’d get some rest first. I’ll stop him!” Ping Yang took out a medicinal pill and put it into Chi Guyan’s mouth swiftly. Then, she stepped forward and s.h.i.+elded Chi Guyan.
“Ping Yang’ve grown up…” Chi Guyan wanted to add something, but she eventually held her tongue.
“Bring it on, Nangong Hao. I admit that I’m not as proficient as you at wielding a weapon. However, do you dare to fight me barehanded?” As Ping Yang said that, she stuck her Blazing Qilin Spear into the ground.
“Princess, are you trying to buy time?” Nangong Hao glanced at Ping Yang, then looked towards Chi Guyan, whom Ping Yang had s.h.i.+elded. He obviously knew what she wanted to do.
“Just tell me if you dare to do it or not!”
“Sure, as you wish.”
“Ok, bring it on!” Ping Yang bit her lips and rushed towards Nangong Hao before he could sheath his Wuwei Sword. Her fists were wrapped by the crimson flame.
Nangong Hao quickly sheathed his sword when he saw that and grabbed at Ping Yang’s fist at the same time.
Buzz! There was a loud vibration.
The crimson flame that wrapped around Ping Yang’s fist disappeared without a trace, following which, Nangong Hao’s punch landed on Ping Yang’s face.
Boom! She was sent flying and crashed onto the ground heavily. Ping Yang trembled and vomited blood.
“Yang’er…” Qian Yu’s lips moved and she wanted to stand up. However, she eventually sat down after she saw the light in Ping Yang’s eyes.
Ping Yang did a flip and stood up. She caressed the broken Red Flame Flower Armor on her body and the flame in her eyes reignited.
“Not bad! Again!” She bolted towards Nangong Hao again as she said. Her fists were covered in the crimson flame once more.
Of course, the result didn’t differ from just now.
Ping Yang quickly flew back and more blood flowed out of her mouth and tainted the Red Flame Flower Armor. Her legs were shaking and she obviously couldn’t stand straight for much longer.
“Keke… Nangong Hao, I didn’t expect you to be good in hand-to-hand combat. Nevertheless, I won’t lose to you so easily! Ag… Again!”
Boom!
“Again!”
Boom!
“…”
Ping Yang stood up, charged towards her opponent, and was sent flying back again and again. It hadn’t been too long, but the amount of blood on the ground was acc.u.mulating.
“Ping Yang…” Lin Mubai was biting his lips tightly and he even clenched his fists so tightly that they turned pale. Blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth as he watched the fight.
He wanted to interfere, but just like Qian Yu, he also knew that Ping Yang chose this fight herself. In that case, even he wasn’t capable of stopping her.
“They have obviously been defeated already, so why must she insist on continuing the fight!”
“Yeah, would anything change even if Chi Guyan recovered slightly? Nangong Hao is obviously stronger than Nangong Mu. Even if Chi Guyan is at her best, I doubt that she could defeat him.”
“The difference in their cultivations and the severe injuries that she’d sustained made it clear that there is zero need to continue fighting!”
The disciples felt complicated as they watched Ping Yang got up again and again, only to be sent flying every time.
It was a dumb thing to do…
However, for some reason, they felt a little nervous even when they knew that she couldn’t possibly win.
“She stood up again? How is that possible, isn’t this the 13th time already?”
Boom!
Ping Yang dropped to the ground again. Her Red Flame Flower Armor was already tattered, and there was so much blood on the ground that it formed a stream.
“The 14th time!”
“Ag… Ag… Again!” Ping Yang was running out of breath. Her face turned purple and her hair was covered in blood. She looked like a complete mess.
Despite that, she stood up once more. Even though her legs were shaking so much that they were bending, she still gritted her teeth tightly and carried on.
“Ping Yang, let’s do this together!” An arm supported Ping Yang’s body at this moment and helped her off the ground. The person who helped her was tearing up.
“Sister Yan… I’m… I’m fine, you could rest… Rest for a while longer…” Ping Yang trembled and shook her head with all her might at Chi Guyan.
“Even if we are really going to lose, I hope that we could lose together!” Chi Guyan caressed Ping Yang’s hair and wiped away the blood before tidying her hair. Then, she turned towards Nangong Hao and said, “This is the final attack. Let’s go, we’ll do it together!”
“Ok!”
Boom! b.l.o.o.d.y light soared into the sky on Heaven Zen Mountain’s peak like a sanguine light pillar that could reach heaven.
At the meantime, two people were sent flying away. Blood gushed out of their mouths but they held each other’s hands tightly and never let go.
“Sister Yan… Ke, we’ve… Lost…” Ping Yang didn’t want to accept the outcome, but she was smiling faintly.
“Yup, we’ve lost…” Chi Guyan nodded and held on to Ping Yang’s hands tightly with a relieved smile on her face.
Crack! At this moment, a bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky and pierced through the b.l.o.o.d.y pillar and landed between the two of them.
It was a twisted bolt of lightning that crashed down from the sky, bringing along a violent storm. It was like a lightning trial and it blew away all the rubbles on the altar.
“d.a.m.n it, which b.a.s.t.a.r.d dares to beat my woman!”
