Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 356 - 354: Forced to Leave

Chapter 356: Chapter 354: Forced to Leave

Entering the Sky Breaking King Realm to this point, over ten thousand Young Talents, only about six thousand people were left flying, moving away from the Ancient City.

Jinpengzi had a hard time capturing a Void Artifact but was forced to abandon it, and suffered serious injuries, his strength nearly depleted, he didn’t even manage to snatch a single High Grade Origin Stone, it could be said he returned empty-handed, feeling very frustrated.

Now hearing the news that Xiao Ye possesses High Grade Origin Stones, how could he bear it?

When Jinpengzi’s words fell, sharp glances, shimmering with brilliance, looked towards Xiao Ye, as if seeing a huge treasure.

Stepping out of the Ancient City, a High Grade Origin Stone was indeed a treasure that could drive them mad, let alone the owner of a High Grade Origin Stone, who was a youth who had not yet broken through to the Void Martial Realm.

Instantly, many erupted with a cold killing intent, targeting Xiao Ye with unfavorable expressions, only to hold back due to Nangong Xingyu standing next to him.

Xiao Ye’s heart skipped a beat, cursing inwardly. It seemed he had been too naive. Despite the chaotic situation, some people had taken notice of him.

With things as they were, Xiao Ye simply stopped hiding, but there was no way he was going to hand over his High Grade Origin Stone.

"Keep me safe?" Xiao Ye’s eyes filled with mockery as he glanced at Jinpengzi’s injuries, "Looking at how miserable you are now, you can’t even protect yourself, how can you protect me?"

Seeing the other’s haughty demeanor, he felt an uncontrollable anger. If pushed to the limit, he would simply fight Jinpengzi.

He didn’t believe that Jinpengzi, injured, could still display much strength.

And, before entering the Sky Breaking King Realm, just in case, he had secretly swallowed a Heavenly Spirit Pill into his body, compartmentalizing a portion of his power to wrap it around, waiting for the right moment to activate its medicinal effect.

With the Heavenly Spirit Pill, he wasn’t afraid of injuries.

Boom!

The moment Xiao Ye finished talking, Jinpengzi with disheveled golden hair, his eyes emitted twin beams of overwhelming light, annihilating the void.

Jinpengzi, as the foremost among the younger generation of the Golden Roc Kingdom, an admired existence, when had he ever faced such mockery? Especially from Xiao Ye, who had once embarrassed him.

"Fool, don’t think that just because Nangong Xingyu is here, I can’t kill you. You are too naive..."

But before Jinpengzi could finish speaking, a golden fist had already pierced through the void, stirring up a formidable shockwave, suppressing him from above.

"Jinpengzi, you talk too much, today Xiao Ye will send you on your way!" Xiao Ye shouted loudly, terrifying power fluctuations piercing through the Nine Heavens, shaking the Heaven.

Even facing a severely injured Jinpengzi, Xiao Ye dared not be careless.

The crowd witnessing this scene couldn’t help but shift their gaze.

Barely exchanging words before attacking Jinpengzi, Xiao Ye’s courage was indeed extraordinary.

For a moment, numerous Young Talents stepped aside, leaving a large open area, not stopping the two from fighting.

"Nangong Xingyu, should we help Xiao Ye?" Xiang Nan and Mo Ye hurriedly asked.

There was no choice, when Jinpengzi previously challenged members of the Genius Camp, he easily defeated them, a dominantly invincible presence that they still remembered vividly.

"Let’s wait and see, Jinpengzi is injured and depleted, Xiao Ye might not lose." Nangong Xingyu’s eyes sparkled with a strange light, looking towards the distant battlefield.

Xiang Nan and Mo Ye exchanged glances, finally nodding and quieting down.

Boom!

In mid-air, splendid light bloomed, Jinpengzi with a golden Grotto Heaven rising behind him, a powerful aura burst forth, shooting into the sky, sweeping across all heavens.

Facing Xiao Ye’s attack, Jinpengzi snorted coldly, spewing golden Light Swords from the golden Grotto, which repelled Xiao Ye forcing him to retreat.

"Ignorant fool, even with my massive exhaustion, I am still not someone you can contend with!"

Jinpengzi finished speaking, an invincible momentum burst forth, sweeping the entire space, emitting a terrifying suppression, causing most of the Young Talents present to feel a heavy pressure.

"So strong..."

The young crowd’s faces changed drastically, Jinpengzi was too terrifying, to still possess such power under these circumstances.

The next moment, Jinpengzi took a step forward, the sky trembled, visible ripples in the void opened up, terrifying power spreading out, causing the distant crowd to uncontrollably step back several steps.

In that moment, Jinpengzi had already reached above Xiao Ye’s head, then launched a punch downwards, the Grotto behind him imprisoning the surrounding void, weighing down Xiao Ye’s body, unable to escape Jinpengzi’s attack range.

"Fool, go to die." Jinpengzi’s face revealed a fierce smile.

From a distance, Xiang Nan and Mo Ye were greatly shocked, could it be that Xiao Ye was about to fall here?

"Jinpengzi, is this the move you use against me? It seems you really are too exhausted, skill exhausted at this." Xiao Ye coldly smiled, then his body’s four Xuandans simultaneously erupted, like four suns, providing him peak strength.

"Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed brilliantly, eyes emitting unparalleled beams, he didn’t retreat but advanced, fists meeting Jinpengzi’s head on.

Boom!

Thirty-six True Dragons streamed from Xiao Ye’s fist, their vast bodies exuding dragon might, terrifying power spreading across Heaven and Earth, hurtling towards Jinpengzi.

"Get lost!"

Jinpengzi roared loudly, his body bursting with boundless golden light, as if a divine being were awakening, exuding vast majesty, forcibly confronting the thirty-six True Dragons.

However, his injuries were severe, and coupled with excessive energy consumption, the golden light on his body dimmed rapidly after reaching its peak. After a short confrontation with the thirty-six True Dragons, blood splattered from his body, and he was sent flying.

"Jinpengzi has lost!"

Silence fell all around, and everyone was dumbstruck.

Who is Jinpengzi?

He was a top-tier Heavenly Pride, qualified to dominate the top ten in this Kingdom Battle. Even if injured and overextended, he was not someone just anyone could contend with.

"This young man’s cultivation is of the Xuanwu Realm, yet he possesses the strength of Void Martial Level 3," someone uttered in shock.

Typically, possessing the strength of Void Martial Level 3 while being in the Xuanwu Realm indicated either being a Heavenly Son or having comprehended the Law Profound Mysteries, and Xiao Ye appeared to be neither.

"Damn it, I’ve consumed too much power. Now, to deal with a waste, I still have to resort to using Law Profound Mysteries!" Jinpengzi stabilized in mid-air, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

Yet, Xiao Ye was utterly indifferent, stepping through the air towards Jinpengzi, "Jinpengzi, today is your day to die. Accept your fate!"

With that said, Xiao Ye transformed into a Supreme Divine Blade, slashing towards Jinpengzi.

At that moment, a slender hand appeared silently, without emitting any power fluctuation, yet forcefully suppressed Xiao Ye back.

"Stop, you can’t kill Jinpengzi," Nangong Xingyu’s robe fluttered as he spoke softly.

"Can’t kill him?" Xiao Ye frowned slightly.

"There are four more Young Talents from the Golden Roc Kingdom, two of whom are at the Void Martial Realm, all very strong. Just because of them, you can’t kill Jinpengzi."

"Moreover, Jinpengzi hasn’t even used his Law Profound Mysteries yet. If the fight continues, it will only result in mutual destruction," Nangong Xingyu added calmly.

Xiao Ye looked up and indeed saw the four youths from the Golden Roc Kingdom, who had already flown over to protect Jinpengzi behind them, coldly watching him.

"What a pity," Xiao Ye’s face showed reluctance.

Without a need to explain, Jinpengzi’s status in the Golden Roc Kingdom was undoubtedly exceptional. Now that Jinpengzi was at a disadvantage, they would not stand idly by.

Thus, even if he exhausted his Heavenly Spirit Pills, it was impossible for him to kill Jinpengzi—he could not expect Nangong Xingyu to take action.

"Humph, kid, you dared to provoke Jinpengzi, you’re definitely doomed."

Seeing that Xiao Ye did not attack again, the four youths from the Golden Roc Kingdom glanced fearfully at Nangong Xingyu before leaving with a statement and taking Jinpengzi away.

"I need to quickly enhance my cultivation and advance to the Void Martial Realm to qualify for the Fusion Emperor Road; otherwise, once Jinpengzi returns to his peak condition, I’ll be in danger," Xiao Ye felt immense pressure.

"And these people..." Xiao Ye’s gaze shifted towards the surroundings, where he saw young eyes flashing with greed. If it weren’t for Nangong Xingyu, they would have likely attacked by now, trying to steal the Top-grade Essence Stones.

Xiao Ye felt heavy-hearted. If things continued this way, he would surely bring trouble to Nangong Xingyu and others. Even with Nangong Xingyu’s strength, could he withstand so many Heavenly Prides?

Plus, Xiao Ye suspected that there were still others who had hidden their strength, aiming to rise dramatically in the final rankings.

Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered, a decision forming in his mind.

"Nangong Xingyu, I plan to separate from you and travel alone," Xiao Ye conveyed his thoughts through power transmission.

Traveling alone was extremely dangerous, but he didn’t want to involve others in peril because of him; he also needed a peaceful environment to refine the Top-grade Essence Stones, leading him to make this decision.

Nangong Xingyu seemed not at all surprised; he immediately responded, "Alright, I can guarantee that these people will not pursue you for three days."

"Thank you. If there’s a chance, I will definitely repay this favor," Xiao Ye clasped his hands in gratitude, aware that Nangong Xingyu owed him nothing, and this was indeed a display of utmost benevolence.

With that, Xiao Ye soared into the sky, leaving the main group, heading in the opposite direction of Jinpengzi, disappearing into the realms of the heavens.

"Why has this kid left?"

"I’m sure it must be because of a fallout with Nangong Xingyu over the Top-grade Essence Stones, forcing him to leave."

"What an opportunity, quick, follow! This kid must have a lot of Top-grade Essence Stones on him!"

...

Upon seeing this scene, the group of youths was thrilled and prepared to chase after him but were stopped by a slender figure.

"If anyone dares to pursue Xiao Ye within these three days, do not blame me for being merciless. After three days, you’re free to act, and I will not interfere," Nangong Xingyu declared, his light blue robe billowing, his body surrounded by endless starlight as he surveyed the crowd.
