Chapter 345 - 343: Battle Against Two Great Void Martial Realm Experts

Chapter 345: Chapter 343: Battle Against Two Great Void Martial Realm Experts

The gale was howling, the earth quaking; the two peak fighters’ auras soared to the extreme, causing the void to tremble incessantly, like monstrous waves churning in the ocean, wreaking havoc.

Xiao Ye casually tossed Little White and Tang Hao aside, arrogantly staring at Tang Hong.

Tang Hong was slightly stunned at this sight. Xiao Ye releasing Tang Hao at this time held no advantages for him; in fact, it would only free him from any inhibitions.

"Brat, you’re too arrogant. Today, I’ll discipline you on behalf of Lord Starfall!" Tang Hong ascended to the heavens, with a Grotto Heaven rising behind him, attracting essence qi from all directions. His aged body, at this moment, seemed immensely vast.

"I want to see how you dodge this, Destruction Palm!"

As Tang Hong struck out, essence qi from all directions swarmed in. Instantly, a giant palm grew hundreds of times larger, akin to a hand of destruction spanning across heaven, eclipsing the sun, covering a five-mile radius, bearing down on Xiao Ye.

Originally, this hand technique was just a Seventh Grade Battle Technique, but after Tang Hong’s modifications and enhanced by heaven and earth’s essence qi, its power drastically increased.

Just like Xiao Ye’s Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist, it might be a Seventh Grade Battle Technique in rank, but it reached the threshold of an Eighth Grade Battle Technique, and was Tang Hong’s ultimate skill.

Feeling the power of this move, Xiao Ye’s eyes were cold as ice.

If he hadn’t made a breakthrough, this showdown with Tang Hong was bound to be perilous; after all, the other’s combat technique was no less powerful than the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist.

But now, he had enough strength to crush his opponent!

"Thinking of disciplining me? Better go back and cultivate for a few more years."

Xiao Ye swung his fists, all four Xuandans in his body erupted at once, and suddenly thirty-six True Dragons descended, each nearly a thousand zhang long. That majestic divine presence, like rolling heavenly thunder, came crashing down, smashing the entire heaven, confronting the descending giant palm.

With Xiao Ye’s current strength, when he triggered the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist, he could actually manifest True Dragons, far from what he could before.

The overwhelming giant palm was inevitably scattered, thirty-six True Dragons roared through the Nine Heavens, shaking the All Heavens Worlds, engulfing Tang Hong’s terror-stricken face, setting off an energy storm, a bright and fierce light like an unbearable to behold sun.

"What’s going on?"

In the depths of Gale Territory, other family powers felt a violent shaking of the ground, and one by one, they were dumbfounded, ceasing their mining and looking up at the dazzling light in the distant heaven.

"Is that the battle fluctuation of a Void Martial Realm Expert? Could it be that an expert from another family has come and started fighting?"

From the ranks of the Jian Family, a man dressed in coarse linen and carrying a huge unsheathed longsword emerged, his face worn by time showing a hint of shock.

He was Jian Yuxuan, the most outstanding member of the Jian Family, who at the age of sixty entered the Void Martial Realm with a longsword in hand, thus his youthful appearance, no different from middle-aged.

Although the Eighteen Great Families had always been in open and covert contention, Void Martial Realm experts rarely fought to the death.

Even from this distance, he could feel the terrifying energy fluctuations from the center of the battle.

"I’ll be back soon."

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go see what was happening. Leaving behind those words, he rose through the air and swiftly flew in the direction of the battle.

"Ancestor!"

Jian Family’s Young Master Jian Wuchen and other high-ranking leaders exclaimed loudly, but they couldn’t possibly catch up with a Void Martial Realm Expert. All they could do was pray in their hearts for Jian Yuxuan to return safely.

...

The intense light dissipated, revealing a battered, old figure falling powerlessly from mid-air.

"Grandfather!"

Tang Hao, whose cultivation was restrained, widened his eyes, feeling as if he’d been struck by lightning, a chill rushing to his head.

The invincibly strong Tang Hong in his eyes had been effortlessly defeated by Xiao Ye, delivering a tremendous shock to him.

Feeling Tang Hong’s life force fade, Xiao Ye indifferently withdrew his fists.

From the moment the other party laid hands on Little White and the Ye Alliance Martial Artists, this outcome was sealed.

"And there’s a Void Martial Realm expert from the Jian Family..." Xiao Ye murmured softly, then he went to Little White’s side, preparing to unravel the Blood Chain.

At that moment, Tang Hong’s "corpse" suddenly leaped up, coughing blood profusely while dragging his beaten body and fleeing in a panic.

In the blink of an eye, he dashed hundreds of meters.

"This kid is simply a monster, his cultivation is only at the Xuanwu Realm, but his strength is comparable to a Void Martial Level 3 Expert. Lucky that this old man has cultivated his whole life to perform the Blood Sacrifice Secret Method, which can only be used once, allowing me to block most of the attacks and save my life."

Tang Hong was scared out of his wits by the scene just now, abandoning even Tang Hao.

Ascending a level within the Void Martial Realm, even ten years would be considered normal. Catching up to Xiao Ye was impossible, so he lost even the thought of revenge.

"This old guy is still alive?" Xiao Ye was taken aback.

He was highly confident in his strength; the opponent should have been unable to withstand that blow.

"Hmph, I want to see what secrets this old man harbors!" Xiao Ye stepped forward, the scenery around him changing as he shot towards Tang Hong.

The distance between them visibly shrank at a visible speed.

Feeling the sound of breaking air behind him, Tang Hong was scared out of his wits, because Xiao Ye’s speed was even faster than before.

"Xiao Ye, this matter is this old man’s fault, I’m willing to leave Xingyun Kingdom, and the Tang Family’s affairs will have no more to do with me, I hope you can let me go," Tang Hong shouted loudly.

"For survival, you’re even willing to abandon your own clansmen. Truly cold-hearted and ruthless." Xiao Ye said with a look of disdain, his aversion to Tang Hong intensifying.

"Xiao Ye, you’ve forced me into this!" Tang Hong bellowed furiously, lashing out with a palm strike to the rear, and once again unleashing the Destruction Palm.

"So what if I forced you? Do you really still have another trick up your sleeve?" Xiao Ye sneered, unleashing the overwhelming power within his body. With a punch, he shattered the giant hand into pieces, causing Tang Hong to cry out miserably, his body lurching forward as he took a heavy blow.

"Ah!" Tang Hong quickly ascended to the heavens once again; power within his body blazed fiercely, as he sent a series of palm strikes at Xiao Ye.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Instantly, twelve massive palms overshadowed the sky and spanned the heavens, forming a barrier like a series of giant walls, attempting to stop Xiao Ye from catching up.

After all this, Tang Hong had no time to use his Grotto Heaven to recover and instead seized the moment to flee.

"This kind of attack and you think you can stop me?" Xiao Ye scoffed coldly. A brilliant golden light enveloped his body as he transformed into a divine golden blade, piercing directly through the twelve massive palms with astonishing speed.

The distance between him and Tang Hong had not widened but instead had substantially closed.

"You can’t escape." Xiao Ye’s gaze was ice-cold, the power in his fists boiling, as he prepared to strike once more and completely obliterate Tang Hong.

"Oh god, what kind of monster have I provoked?" Tang Hong felt as though he had plunged into an ice cellar; his entire body was cold, his face filled with despair, no longer seeing a glint of hope.

"Tang Hong!" Just then, a man dressed in coarse linen with an unsheathed greatsword on his back flew over.

"Jian Yuxuan!" Upon seeing the man, Tang Hong trembled, like a drowning man clutching at a straw; hope flared intensely in his eyes.

"Xiao Ye, this man is called Jian Yuxuan, a Void Martial Realm Expert from the Jian Family. He killed even more Ye Alliance Martial Artists than I did a few days ago. Your Ferocious Beast was hurt by him," Tang Hong hastily shouted.

By dragging Jian Yuxuan down with him, they might stand a chance against Xiao Ye together, perhaps giving him a sliver of a chance at life.

"Old coward, what are you implying!" Jian Yuxuan’s complexion turned as he had just arrived and was still unclear about the situation. But hearing Tang Hong’s words, he knew that the intentions were not kind.

"Then die together," a chilling voice reached Jian Yuxuan’s ears, prompting his pupils to contract as he looked forward.

He saw a young man in a black robe, stepping on nothing, his colossal power transformed into a fearsome oppression, causing Jian Yuxuan to feel a sudden heaviness in his body and tightness in his chest.

The shock was evident on Jian Yuxuan’s face. Was it this young man who had caused Tang Hong such a piteous state?

Soon after, Xiao Ye provided him with the answer.

Xiao Ye made a gesture with his fingers like a blade, and suddenly a sword light of five thousand zhang surged, annihilating everything in its path and cleaving towards Jian Yuxuan.

Clang! Jian Yuxuan didn’t have time to be shocked. The greatsword on his back fell into his palm; the terrifying sword light, like a bright moon, tore through the void, colliding with Xiao Ye’s blade light, as a vast shockwave swept outwards.

Pfft! Jian Yuxuan was struck by the blow as if thunder had consumed him. The shockwave caused him to fly backwards, spewing blood from his mouth.

Being the most outstanding member of the Jian Family, he couldn’t even withstand a single move from Xiao Ye.

"Ah, Old Dog Tang, I, Jian Yuxuan, swear not to coexist with you!" Jian Yuxuan steadied himself mid-air, his face as dark as ink, his eyes flaming as he looked towards Tang Hong in the distance.

Even if he were a fool, he could have guessed Tang Hong dragged him down with him.

"Jian Yuxuan, join forces with me quickly, otherwise, none of us will leave the Gale Territory alive today," Tang Hong, forcefully suppressing his injuries, flew to Jian Yuxuan’s side.

Jian Yuxuan gritted his teeth in resentment but eventually nodded firmly because what Tang Hong said was true.

The two Xuanwu Realm Experts roared together, the Grotto Heavens behind them rose up; instantly, the void fractured, the earth split, as boundless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi rushed in, the terrifying fluctuations swept across the entire Gale Territory, causing everyone to feel weighed down.

"Good heavens! The Void Martial Realm Experts from the Jian and Tang families have joined forces!"

Martial Artists from various factions in the Gale Territory had been rushing over to this side, and upon seeing the scene from afar, they were all astonished.

"Humph, even if you two join forces, today you will still inevitably die!" Xiao Ye’s hair danced wildly; his eyes emitted two dazzling divine beams, the force inside his body roared like the tumultuous waves, bold and invincible, crushing the entire heavens.

At the same moment, the three peak experts moved, their figures like lightning charging towards each other; intense thunder rolled in, the tremendous noise causing earaches for many, and several struggled to remain standing, being pressed down to the ground.

"Get lost, all of you!" Xiao Ye roared. His fists danced, the fiery Fist Light shot straight into the Nine Heavens; all his power erupted, causing Tang Hong and Jian Yuxuan to tremble violently. The Grotto Heavens that had risen behind them shattered, and they fell from the sky.
