Chapter 1090 - 1090 1076 The Sparrow Stays Behind

Chapter 1090: Chapter 1076: The Sparrow Stays Behind Chapter 1090: Chapter 1076: The Sparrow Stays Behind The two sides slowly began to build momentum. Normally, Qiandu Ao would have panicked by now, but he was panicking even at this moment, cursing, “Why the hell hasn’t Hai Jingtian come over yet.” Just now, he had been thinking about how to snatch the Key Box, but now he no longer had that thought.

Nangong Yan was not going to be vague about her actions, she charged forward to aid Ouyang Yue. Ouyang Yue, driven by a fierce desire for revenge and having finally seized this opportunity, decided to first eliminate those helping Qiandu Xiang, even though they were all from the Sacred Spirit Sect. But these people had completely sided with Qiandu Xiang, and they still couldn’t be fully controlled, at least not for some time.

Therefore, she had to be ruthless. She believed that the rest would surrender once enough pressure was applied. Then, it would only be a matter of dealing with Qiandu Xiang and his few adherents.

Ouyang Yue glanced into the distance, just as Ye Chen became entangled in a fight with Qiandu Xiang.

In the shadows, a group was watching closely, the very people who had lived on Xiyue Island for over a hundred years.

Yin Qi, the third in their ranks, had run over. He had captured a few isolated individuals and, through them, learned some new information.

“Why have they started fighting?” Silver Fox, the second in command, asked.

Yin Qi replied, “It’s two groups attacking from front and back, trying to encircle the middle group.”

“Who’s in the middle group?”

“Qiandu Xiang, the current Sect Leader of the Sacred Spirit Sect,” Yin Qi answered. “I heard he killed his own master to obtain the Sacred Spirit Stone. It seems the group in front wants revenge on Qiandu Xiang, so they ambushed them.”

“Yo, this sounds quite exciting,” the Silver Fox said with a giggle, focusing on a girl in the front and asked, “Who’s that girl? She’s quite pretty.”

Yin Qi answered, “That’s Ouyang Yue, the adopted daughter of the Sacred Spirit Sect’s former Sect Leader. The Key Box might be in her possession.”

Their leader, Pan Jianglong, looked over and said, “Are you sure?”

Yin Qi responded, “That’s what those captives said.”

Upon hearing this, Silver Fox became ecstatic and said, “If that’s the case, we should capture her first.” Whether or not the Key Box was with that girl, he was already intent on capturing her.

Yin Qi added, “If it’s not on her, it must be with that old geezer. Because they’re both leaders, they certainly wouldn’t hand over the Key Box, something so important, to anyone else as they no longer trust anyone.”

After listening, Silver Fox said, “Let me take care of that girl. I’ll capture her.”

Yin Qi looked towards Pan Jianglong and asked, “Boss, shall we take action now?”

“No,” Pan Jianglong replied, “let them continue fighting. We’ll move in once they’re tired.”

More excited than before, Silver Fox said, “Exactly, why move now? We need to be the opportunistic oriole, waiting for them to tire before making our move.”

For Pan Jianglong, securing the Key Box was a must. He said to Yin Qi, “You go get ready, let our men prepare, wait for my signal. When the time comes, we’ll all strike together. First, we’ll capture those two; forget the rest.”

Yin Qi nodded in acknowledgement,

Excitedly rubbing his hands together, the prospect of capturing such a beautiful girl thrilled Silver Fox. Since they lived there, the women were scarce, and he had never seen one so stunning.

Pan Jianglong turned to his assistant and commanded, “In half an hour, lure those two groups of monsters here.”

The assistant withdrew.

Ye Chen and Qiandu Xiang clashed for dozens of moves. Qiandu Xiang was unquestionably a genius with superb martial arts skills. Despite the aid of both the Black Demonic Spirit and the Red Demonic Spirit, Ye Chen barely managed to fight to a draw. Qiandu Xiang showed almost no flaws, an unprecedented challenge for Ye Chen.

Qiandu Xiang’s moves were vicious, appearing effortless yet each one carried tremendous lethal force. One move, as if covering the sky and obscuring the sun, came thundering down. Even before it arrived, the force of the move was palpable, bearing down on one’s face.

Ye Chen countered with the move “Tidal Surge Lightning Strike.”

Although the technique used by Qiandu Xiang was a softer version of the Sacred Heavenly Technique, it differed from the more rigid variation taught to him by Shao Hengjiang.

But it was still a part of the Sacred Heavenly Technique. The approach was different, but the principle remained the same.

Ye Chen’s “Tidal Surge Lightning Strike” met Qiandu Xiang’s attack and followed up with “Tiger’s Roar Dragon’s Cry,” as unpredictable as a change in the weather, bursting forth like an erupting volcano.

Qiandu Xiang countered with two bolts of lightning that came crashing down.

Qiandu Xiang was somewhat anxious; he wanted to take care of this young man quickly, but recognized that his adversary’s martial expertise was as profound as his own. Muttering to himself, “You want revenge? No chance,” suddenly, the sky darkened as he began absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.

This was not something any ordinary person could accomplish. Ye Chen became cautious; since the Gathering of Ten Thousand Spirits, he had only slightly glimpsed the method of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.

The energy enveloped Qiandu Xiang, turning him increasingly red, as if he was being consumed by flames, becoming brighter and brighter. He decided to eliminate this nuisance first, firmly believing that no one could be his match. Those who could match him hadn’t even been born yet.

Faced with such immense energy, Ye Chen asked, “Are you two ready?”

He needed the help of the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit to stand a chance. The Red Demonic Spirit said, “I think we’d better scram. If you really push him into a corner, you’re on your own.” He seemed somewhat unsure.

Ye Chen glanced behind him, knowing he couldn’t dodge. If he fled, the people behind him would suffer. He stretched out his palms, and energy began to gather.

Qiandu Ao was astonished; he hadn’t expected that his opponent could also absorb the energy of heaven and earth. This move was one he had taken three full years to comprehend.

It was as if it would burst forth—the meteor-like object flew toward him, and with a loud bang, hit the Light Wave emitted by Ye Chen, sending Ye Chen sliding backward.

He nearly couldn’t stop himself. When Ye Chen steadied his footing, with another bang, the second wave of attack came, blasting Ye Chen away and forcing him to crash to the ground, creating a massive crater.

Ye Chen could gather the energy of heaven and earth too, but his skill was only at a beginner level. Clearly, his opponent was not a beginner, having at least reached the intermediate level, and so naturally Ye Chen couldn’t withstand it.

Upon seeing this, Qiandu Xiang felt a surge of elation, now gradually gaining control of the situation. He said, “Kid, you’re done for. To think you could kill me—you’re not even fully fledged.” He rose like a sorcerer, and those energies, like a torrent, all converged, making him seem godlike.

Nangong Yan caught a glimpse of this, and at that moment, Shao Hengjiang was right beside her. Seeing Ye Chen blasted away just now, Nangong Yan started to worry, unsure if Ye Chen could withstand it.

“Godfather, do you think Ye Chen can withstand it?” she asked with doubt.

Not expecting Qiandu Xiang to have reached such a level, Shao Hengjiang had been somewhat neglectful. He said, “Don’t worry, I’m here. I won’t let Ye Chen be defeated.”

With a bang, like a massive mountain bearing down, Ye Chen didn’t even have a chance to flee. But just then, Shao Hengjiang finally made his move, striking like another flame from the heavens, at the moment Ye Chen was nearly overwhelmed, causing an earth-shattering impact and shaking the ground.

A thirty-foot-wide impact wave exploded forth.

Ye Chen was almost swallowed by the blast. Shao Hengjiang’s intervention had saved his life. He had thought of releasing the energy from the ring, but he hadn’t brought it, and just in time, Shao Hengjiang acted, saving him from death.

Ye Chen broke out in a cold sweat.

Shao Hengjiang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let my son-in-law go down like that.”

“Couldn’t you have acted any sooner? Do you always have to wait until things are this dire?” Ye Chen exclaimed.

“If I hadn’t waited until now, how would you be grateful to me?”

“I have to tell you again, I am not your son-in-law.” As he spoke, he glanced at Nangong Yan in the distance, who of course hadn’t heard their conversation.

“Just remember, I’ve saved your life.”

Ye Chen gave a cold smile and said, “I lost count of the times I saved your daughter.”

“That’s none of my concern.”

“Actually, I could have withstood it even if you hadn’t come.”

Hearing this, Shao Hengjiang said, “Really? Then go up and give it another try.”

As Qiandu Xiang came in for the kill again, Ye Chen said, “I’m doing this to help you all. It’s only because your daughter begged me that I agreed.”

Qiandu Xiang was shocked. Just when he was about to finish his opponent, Shao Hengjiang emerged, much to his surprise, and he exclaimed, “You, pirate, dare to oppose me!”

“No helping it, you released the Phoenix Monster to harm us, there’s nothing more to say.”

“It was you who released the Water Dragon first.”

Shao Hengjiang muttered, “I really didn’t release the Water Dragon, and if I had, I wouldn’t have picked that moment.”

“Ha, you think by collaborating with that old geezer Nangong Yao you can defeat me?”

Shao Hengjiang said, “Your martial arts indeed exceeded my expectations. As a vengeful person, I had to consider an alliance with them.”

“Damn it, I’ve helped you expand the Iron Ten Thousand Bandits all these years, and you don’t even have the gratitude,” Qiandu Xiang said angrily, seeming ready to swallow someone alive.

“You can’t talk like that. Without my help these years, would you have been so successful? We were just using each other for mutual benefit, and you’ve had your fair share of advantages,” Shao Hengjiang retorted unceremoniously.

“If I had known this would happen, I should’ve helped Ke Yizhu wipe you out from the start.”

Truth be told, he really could have helped Ke Yizhu destroy the Iron Ten Thousand Bandits initially, but he refrained so he could tie Ke Yizhu’s hands to bolster his power to become Sect Leader.

“Haha, you didn’t wipe us out because you needed us to contain Ke Yizhu while you grew stronger enough to become Sect Leader. Don’t think I’m a fool who doesn’t know what you’re up to,” Qiandu Xiang said.

Qiandu Xiang glanced around and suddenly noticed another expert had joined the fray, and it was Shao Hengjiang, making him cautious. It seemed these two were going to join forces to deal with him, and that young nobody had pushed him to his limits.
