History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

by 八月飞鹰, Ba Yue Fei Ying, August Eagle

  As a spirit beast, Pan-Pan who was by Yan Zhaoge’s side possessed a far superior sensory ability for danger than human martial practitioners. However, at this moment, he was completely unable to detect the sudden assault by that sword-light.

  Meanwhile, of the many spirit artifacts on Yan Zhaoge, not mentioning his spoils of war like the Flying Thunder Sabre and the Purple Gold Thunder Sword, none reacted. Even his Jade Dragon Sword which had accompanied him all the way and whose mind was connected with his as well as the mid-grade spirit artifact, the Hidden Clear Sunlight Sabre, with its high spirituality, were unable to detect this sword.

  A sword soundless and without presence, was incomparably terrifying!

  To Martial Scholars, their difference in strength from a Martial Grandmaster expert was like a massive gulf which could not be remedied.

  And if this Martial Grandmaster ignored his lofty status and lay patiently in wait as he devoted his utmost to launching a sneak attack to kill a Martial Scholar, not underestimating him in the least, there would be a ninety percent chance that this Martial Scholar would not be able to escape the fate of death!

  While his strength was far superior to ordinary Xiantian Martial Scholars, currently facing grave danger, Yan Zhaoge was only able to vaguely detect something.

  But just as he did, a coldness permeated the back of his head along with a slight piercing pain, as the other party’s sword-light was already at the brink of arrival!

  This was the closest Yan Zhaoge had been to dying ever since his arrival at the current Eight Extremities World!

  Earlier, whether it had been the Sacred Sun Clan’s Pan Botai and Twilight Lord or the Ghost Hatchet Elder and the Crimson Spirit Flag Master, their cultivation bases had all been higher than this person’s.

  However, whether it was through preparations that had long since been set in place or not actually having to face their sharpness directly, while Yan Zhaoge had appeared to be in a precarious position, he had actually been stable as a mountain under those circumstances.

  It was only at this moment that Yan Zhaoge clearly felt the shadow of death hanging over him.

  While this sword was not all that fast, and not all that strong, it had truly been too covert.

  By the time Yan Zhaoge discovered it, the sword’s blade was virtually already almost touching his flesh.

  However fast Yan Zhaoge’s movement techniques were, it was also already too late for him to avoid it.

  While he had the Lofty Mountain Armour, a defensive-type spirit artifact on him, even if it automatically activated in a bid to protect him now, it would also not be able to make it in time by a little bit.

  And just that little bit, was the difference between life and death!

  Even if the Lofty Mountain Armour rose, the person would already have been hit!

  At this crucial juncture, whilst being shocked, Yan Zhaoge didn’t fall into chaos.

  All unnecessary, chaotic thoughts completely vanished from his mind.

  Yan Zhaoge’s mind was completely focused, only a single notion still remaining within, activating at full speed!

  Eye of the Thunder Emperor!

  Virtually at the same time that the sword-light contacted his body, an intense, piercing pain appeared in Yan Zhaoge’s right eye!

  A purplish-green light was shot out from within.

  A large amount of pure, refined lightning qi instantly travelled throughout Yan Zhaoge’s entire body.

  Stimulating every single pore!

  Every single bone!

  Every single meridian!

  Every single piece of flesh and blood!

  In an instant, Yan Zhaoge erupted with a speed that far surpassed his normal level, his body resembling flashing lightning as he shot forward!

  As he strode out, the assaulting sword-light behind him, missed!

  Even so, from the back of Yan Zhaoge’s head, broken, severed strands of hair drifted in mid-air, some tiny droplets of blood even seeping out from his skin.

  Having missed, that Martial Grandmaster pressed forward relentlessly as he chased Yan Zhaoge tightly, sending the sword within his hands stabbing towards him once more!

  However, having managed to evade the most dangerous, most covert sword arriving from an ambush, Yan Zhaoge had already stabilised his position.

  His entire body’s aura-qi turned icy cold as he executed the Ocean Stabilising Spirit Fist.

  Yan Zhaoge’s entire person resembled a spirit turtle concealed deep within the bottomless ocean, that deep abyss to which all objects belonged, kept concealed within, not a trace of them visible.

  Even that Martial Grandmaster’s spiritual sense wavered slightly for a moment as he felt as though Yan Zhaoge had completely disappeared from before him.

  Focusing his mind, he locked onto Yan Zhaoge’s position once more, his sword continuing to stab outwards.

  However, two glows of red and yellow flickered as an armour that resembled lofty mountains now appeared on Yan Zhaoge’s body, blocking the opponent’s attack.

  Exerting all its might in a single effort, then deteriorating, finally being exhausted.

  That Martial Grandmaster’s sword-blow was already like an arrow at the end of its flight as it was currently no longer able to break through the Lofty Mountain Armour’s defence.

  Lightning flickering within his right eye once more, Yan Zhaoge stomped on the ground as his entire body spun, turning back to send a palm flying towards his opponent’s head!

  Earlier, his body’s aura-qi had been cold as ice. Currently, it blazed like fire as it erupted with a terrifying force that shocked one’s very soul, resembling the eruption of a volcano!

  With a strength surpassing his predictions, the other party was also caught a little off guard by Yan Zhaoge.

  He had already appraised his opponent as highly as possible beforehand, but never would he have thought that he had still underestimated Yan Zhaoge in the end.

  His sword technique having already been seen through, combined with Yan Zhaoge’s speed and explosive power being greater than anticipated, Yan Zhaoge was instantly able to move into close proximity of him.

  However, at the end of the day, he was still a Martial Grandmaster expert. Without any hesitation whatsoever, he too hit out with a palm towards Yan Zhaoge’s head!

  His palm forceful and domineering, it drew the surrounding roiling devilish qi to converge where it was, its power growing stronger as it was like a king of the devils had descended into this world.

  At this powerful force, even with Yan Zhaoge’s cultivation, his aura was stifled for a moment!

  However, the attacker suddenly became alert to the fact that in Yan Zhaoge’s cold gaze, the purplish-green light within his right eye was becoming more and more piercing.

  This Martial Grandmaster hesitated slightly for a moment.

  In such an intense fight as this one, such hesitation was indisputably a potentially fatal thing which should be avoided at all costs, especially so when Yan Zhaoge was far from an ordinary Martial Scholar.

  After hesitating slightly for a moment, he finally decided not to counter Yan Zhaoge, instead choosing to retreat!

  However, as he retreated, Yan Zhaoge advanced, the momentum of his palm even fiercer than before!

  His palm swept past his enemy’s shoulder, the illusory purplish-red Tushita fire formed of his aura-qi erupting, using the clothes and aura-qi of his enemy as fuel as they transformed into real flames, blazing strongly.

  Not uttering a sound, that Martial Grandmaster continued retreating along with the purplish-red Tushita fire on his shoulder that had still yet to be extinguished, not even turning to look back as he merged into the darkness once more.

  The lightning in Yan Zhaoge’s right eye flickered slightly as he remained silent, his spiritual sense at its peak as he stayed carefully wary of his surroundings, guarding against any further attacks from the enemy.

  The time the two had clashed had been the time taken for lightning to
flash and a spark to fly off a flint.

  The efforts made in the blink of an eye were already a round of a life and death struggle.

  Only when that Martial Grandmaster had retreated did Pan-Pan, standing by the side, let out an enraged roar, looking, fixated in the direction to which the man had retreated.

  Yan Zhaoge stopped Pan-Pan, standing back-to-back with him as he silently stood on alert for a moment to confirm that the other party had truly left before finally ending his fist stance.

  “Who exactly was that?” The person’s appearance flickered through Yan Zhaoge’s mind.

  His entire body had been enveloped in a black robe, his appearance concealed by a black cloak.

  Not only had he been hooded, he had even been wearing a pitch-black mask, causing people to be unable to distinguish his features.

  It was only through the two slits on his mask that a pair of dark yellow pupils could be seen, flickering with a mournful red light as they revealed his identity as a fallen practitioner.

  “Concealing his identity? Someone I know?” Yan Zhaoge frowned, “But there’s no meaning to it ah. It’s just that the devilish will concealed within his heart has grown, but has not combined with the devilish qi outside, thereby completely falling to the dark side.”

  “However, that he will be completely consumed by the darkness is something that cannot be reversed, and as soon as the devilish will within him and the outside devilish qi combine and he completely falls to the dark side, there would no longer be any possibility of continuing to lie hidden. And with that, his identity would be as good as having exposed itself-what use would there be still in remaining concealed then?

  Patting Pan-Pan, Yan Zhaoge set off once more, pondering as he walked, “The person just now held back in his abilities.”

  “Was it because he was afraid of exposing his identity? But there is no need for that; he has already fallen.”

  “Unless he has a method to transform back into a human from an Evil Devil?” Yan Zhaoge raised his brows slightly, “It’s just that seeing how extremely compatible he is with the devilish qi of this devilish domain, he has probably fallen for quite a long time, at least a year.”

  Shaking his head, Yan Zhaoge temporarily suppressed his doubts as he focused his mind on distinguishing the road ahead as he proceeded forward.

  After walking for a moment, Yan Zhaoge’s heart suddenly moved.

  Despite the obstruction of layers of devilish qi, he could still vaguely feel that not far away, there were currently people clashing.

  Yan Zhaoge hurriedly sped along in that direction. Within the black fog, a spiritual light very quickly began flashing as they met and separated, fighting in an heaven-flipping, earth-overturning manner.

  The surrounding devilish qi surged as it was shattered unceasingly.

  As soon as he saw that dazzling sword-light, Yan Zhaoge raised his brows, “Senior apprentice-brother Xu and…Tang Yonghao?”

  As Yan Zhaoge retracted his aura and approached, he saw three figures currently launching attacks to and fro within the black fog as they clashed non-stop.

  Looking carefully, Yan Zhaoge could not help but sigh at how enemies meet on a narrow path.

  One of them was precisely the black-robed masked man who had ambushed him earlier.

  And the other side consisted of the Heaven’s favoured sons of Broad Creed Mountain and the Sacred Sun Clan, Xu Fei and Tang Yonghao, currently joining hands in fighting against him.

  The two of them had never cooperated in a fight before, having instead been longtime rivals and opponents ever since their youth.

  However, currently joining hands in facing an enemy for the first time, they displayed an extremely high level of cooperation, resembling fellow apprentice-brothers who had been fighting together for many years.

  Xu Fei and Tang Yonghao fought together, one attacking, one defending, one mainstream, one out of the ordinary, with Xu Fei executing the Great Heaven Earth Sword and the Great Heaven Earth Palm simultaneously, forceful and domineering, clumsy but heavy, defending till even wind could not get through.

  Meanwhile, as Tang Yonghao brandished his sword, only an all-encompassing sky of sword-light could be seen as it enveloped the heavens and covered the earth, seemingly bringing light to the nearby heavens and the earth within this dark devilish domain.

  Of the duo, either one were already at the peak of the Heavenly Connection stage, only a step away from the Martial Grandmaster realm.

  Also, they were the elites of Broad Creed Mountain’s and the Sacred Sun Clan’s direct disciples, indisputably favoured sons of Heaven , far from what other Heavenly Connection Martial Scholars could compare to.

  Joining hands to fight an enemy at this moment, with their great coordination, they displayed even greater power.

  It was just that their opponent was clearly also not an ordinary figure.

  While wary of Yan Zhaoge’s fragment of the Eye of the Thunder Emperor, he had retreated after not having achieved his intended sure-kill with his first blow. Nonetheless, that black-robed masked man was undoubtedly also an outstanding existence amongst martial practitioners of the same cultivation level.

  Currently, as he fought one against two against Xu Fei and Tang Yonghao, he still had much strength to spare.

  As a fallen practitioner, within this devilish domain, his power had even been bolstered.

  Looking coldly at that black-robed masked man, Yan Zhaoge called softly, “Pan-Pan?”

  His mind currently connected with Yan Zhaoge’s, Pan-Pan’s entire body blazed with white flames.

  These white flames shrunk back powerfully, condensing unceasingly, finally transforming into a tiny ember the colour of milk.

  The white ember resembled a small, intricate spirit leaping about, its size in great contrast with Pan-Pan’s massive frame.

  However, it contained an immense destructive power that caused one’s heart to freeze!

  Jade Dragon Sword in hand, a purplish-green light flickered within Yan Zhaoge’s right eye.

  His entire body’s aura-qi became as hot as blazing flames as its explosive power was instantly raised to the peak.

  The next moment, Yan Zhaoge merged with his sword, his entire person surging to the air as he transformed into a streak of jade light along with his Jade Dragon Sword, chopping towards that black-robed masked man!

  On the streak of jade light, the crimson glow of fire shone as countless thunderbolts and streaks of lightning also lashed about unceasingly.

  Within the illusory heaven and earth formed of Yan Zhaoge’s aura-qi, a green dragon surged into the world, its entire body shrouded in lightning and fire, its momentum shocking the heavens!

  At the same time, Pan-Pan gave a low roar, that milky-white ember, resembling a flying meteor, shooting towards that black-robed masked man at an extremely high speed!

  Flame Thunderbolt!

  Yan Zhaoge’s sword-light was like a dragon as it instantly ripped apart the dense black fog, heading straight for that Martial Grandmaster alongside Pan-Pan’s Flame Thunderbolt.

  While he was currently in the midst of a heated battle, the opponent was a Martial Grandmaster, as well as having his sensory abilities greatly enhanced with this devilish domain as the battlefield. He immediately detected Yan Zhaoge’s and Pan-Pan’s approach.

  Not saying a word, Yan Zhaoge immediately attacked, his offense extremely fierce.

  Xu Fei and Tang Yonghao were also not polite. With this opportunity arising, they promptly and decisively grabbed it, their swords rising in unison as they shot towards the black-robed Martial Grandmaster like a row of mountains toppling an ocean.

  Facing the combined attack of these three young experts, their masked opponent’s sword-wielding wrist unconsciously twitched.

  But very quickly, he suppressed his m
ovement, flying back in retreat once more, hurriedly withdrawing!

  It was only that the attacks of the trio as well as Pan-Pan were all extremely domineering. As their opponent retreated, drawn in by the airflow, they shot towards him with a momentum that surged up to the heavens.

  A muffled groan resounded in mid-air as this strong Martial Grandmaster had already been injured by their combined efforts.

  However, he was truly strong as making use of the surrounding devilish domain, he swiftly escaped.

  With him of a mind to leave, Yan Zhaoge and the others were also hard pressed to keep him behind.

  Yan Zhaoge kept his Jade Dragon Sword, descending onto the ground below as he looked to Xu Fei and Tang Yonghao.

  Having rationally kept away rather than trying to help out and instead proving a burden as she knew that she lacked the ability to do so, Sikong Qing now walked up as well.

  Seeing Yan Zhaoge’s gaze on Tang Yonghao, Xu Fei immediately said, “It was Senior Brother Tang chivalrously lending a helping hand upon seeing me and junior apprentice-sister Sikong meeting an ambush as he happened to pass by.”

  Tang Yonghao said calmly, “The Nine Underworlds, Decimating Abyss, are all the public enemy of my Eight Extremities World.”

  He was not an obstinate person with a one-track mind who could not be made to see reason.

  If the person Xu Fei had been clashing with had been a Martial Grandmaster expert of the Sacred Sun Clan or the Heavenly Thunder Hall, while he might not like the sight of it, Tang Yonghao would also not ask of others based upon his own standards.

  Xu Fei was an elite of Broad Creed Mountain’s younger generation, his future incalculable.

  If his Elders or those of their allied Heavenly Thunder Hall wished to exterminate him early on, while Tang Yonghao would not heed any orders to surround and attack him, he would also not step forward to stop it from happening.

  However, if it was an unexpected natural disaster or perhaps a public enemy of the entire Eight Extremities World such as the Flame Devils and the Nine Underworlds causing danger to Xu Fei, Tang Yonghao would lend out a helping hand without any hesitation whatsoever.
