Zhang Chao thus began readjusting his position once more.
Such a person who was good at adjusting his stance as necessary had chosen to abandon the Radiant Light Sect’s nearly sinking ship, ascending the even greater ship of the Grand Xuan Dynasty. This was in no way unexpected at all.
Even though this seemed kind of cold-blooded, Zhang Chao did not think anything of it at all.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, his expression turned stern, “Really, I never thought that Broad Creed Mountain would actually produce you Yan father and son following the Zhan brothers. Are the heavens really protecting Broad Creed Mountain?”
Yan Zhaoge said mildly, “The heavens only help those who help themselves. This Yan does not know if the heavens are protecting my Broad Creed Mountain, but your luck is indeed not any good at all.”
Kang Jinyuan ground his teeth as he looked at Yan Zhaoge, “You have actually appeared here?!”
Yan Zhaoge laughed, “Since you can come, and since he can come, I can naturally come too.”
Kang Jinyuan’s eyes seemed to spew fire, “If not for those of Golden Court Mountain protecting you, you would long since be a dead man. You actually dare to come over here yourself?”
Yan Zhaoge smiled as he walked towards Kang Jinyuan, Kang Maosheng and Zhang Chao, “Motherly love is a praiseworthy thing, able to forge miracles. Your mother saved you before. Who will now?”
As he said thus, Yan Zhaoge directly raised his hand, his palm enveloping the sky as it sought to envelop the trio beneath it!
Kang Maosheng dragged Kang Jinyuan behind him, his sword unsheathed from his waist as it transformed into a sword-light that resembled water which shot into the skies, meeting Yan Zhaoge’s incoming palm.
Zhang Chao sighed, similarly making a move as the Sacred Sun Clan’s most powerful Extreme Yang Fist was executed, resembling the blazing sun in the sky as it illuminated the surrounding heavens and earth.
Yan Zhaoge’s gaze flickered as he covertly circulated the Cyclic Heavenly Seal amidst the Heavenly Broad Creed Palm, a mighty, terrifying power descending towards his enemies with the momentum of collapsing the sky.
The mighty power of the heavens and earth reversing and yin and yang being overturned caused the blazing heat of Zhang Chao’s Extreme Yang Fist to instantly plummet in temperature, actually turning icy cold.
Yan Zhaoge’s palm did not encompass Meng Wan.
Still, radiance began emanating from the Extreme Yin Crown that she wore.
She gazed at Feng Yunsheng before her, whose eyes now suddenly turned into two dim-blue suns.
The Cold Sun Divine Sabre was hence unsheathed!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 778: A battle long overdue
HSSB778: A battle long overdue
Meng Wan looked calmly at Feng Yunsheng, smiling, “Senior apprentice-sister Feng, I may have been waiting for this day all along.”
It was not freely giving the Extreme Yin Crown up to Feng Yunsheng that she spoke of.
Instead, she looked forward to battling it out with this bosom friend of hers, seeing who the strongest Maiden of Extreme Yin truly was.
Even though she had once reigned supreme in the Extreme Yin Bouts of the Eight Extremities World, presiding over all others, Meng Wan had never forgotten that she had merely been Feng Yunsheng’s substitute at the start.
If an accident had not befallen Feng Yunsheng that year, no one knew how things might have turned out.
In the second Extreme Yin Bout, the injured her had been ousted by Jade Sea City’s Chen Suting.
In the fourth Extreme Yin Bout, she had inadvertently allowed Turbid Wave Pavilion’s Fan Qiu to obtain victory as she cultivated in a new technique.
There was also the Sacred Sun Clan’s third Maiden of Extreme Yin and her substitute, Yun Xiuqing.
Meng Wan possessed absolute confidence against all of them.
As long as no problem cropped up with she herself, she was the absolute monarch of the Extreme Yin Bouts. Chen Suting, Fan Qiu and the others would all be unable to threaten her position.
Even less had to be said about Infinite Boundless Mountain’s Ling Hui and the Heavenly Thunder Hall’s Nian Lei.
Feng Yunsheng having stopped cultivating for two years, she could no longer catch up with her.
But what if those two years had never happened? If they all had been cultivating normally, would she have been able to surpass and obtain victory over her senior apprentice-sister Feng?
This was the sole thing which Meng Wan was unable to grasp regarding the Extreme Yin Bouts.
The Extreme Yin Crown was an object that Feng Yunsheng constantly strived towards. As for Meng Wan, she too felt many regrets over the events of back then.
Now, there was finally going to be an answer to this question.
Feng Yunsheng had actually miraculously made up for those two lost years, possibly even walking faster and further than her.
While Meng Wan felt happy for Feng Yunsheng, she would definitely not surrender just like that.
Even if she had not been brought up to the World beyond Worlds by the Radiant Light Sect, still remaining in the Eight Extremities World, she would not just surrender despite being faced with a Broad Creed Mountain that dominated over the entire Eight Extremities World.
Looking at Feng Yunsheng before her, Meng Wan smiled, “Senior apprentice-sister Feng, sadly, we are going to be opponents now. Even without the Extreme Yin Bout, a battle would still be necessary between us. You are a Broad Creed Mountain disciple, I a Sacred Sun Clan disciple, and Broad Creed Mountain destroyed the Sacred Sun Clan.”
“While I do disagree somewhat with many decisions of the clan, of senior apprentice-granduncle Huang, senior apprentice-uncle Huang and senior apprentice-brother Huang Jie, I am still Master’s disciple at the end of the day, a disciple of the Sacred Sun Clan. It was with Master’s tutelage that I gradually came to attain what I have now.”
“For Master, for the Sacred Sun Clan, I cannot lose. I cannot even have the long overdue Extreme Yin Bout with you. With how things are now, I definitely must use all I have in order to obtain victory. I must use the Extreme Yin Crown as a weapon to clash against Senior Brother Yan, clash against you.”
While Meng Wan’s expression was mild, her gaze was determined as it did not waver in the least.
Feng Yunsheng might be one of the people who understood Meng Wan the most in this world.
From her understanding of Meng Wan, Meng Wan should be opposed to turning their backs on the Radiant Light Sect and switching allegiance to the Grand Xuan Dynasty just like Tang Yonghao was.
Unlike Tang Yonghao who currently had no way to influence Zhang Chao with his martial prowess, the current Meng Wan had the ability to say ‘no’.
Still, she had not done so.
She was not acquainted with Zhang Chao. Still, thanks to the Sacred Sun Clan having groomed her, she was willing to listen to Zhang Chao’s opinion, thinking of the Extreme Yin Crown as something which belonged to the Sacred Sun Clan rather than something which belonged to she herself.
Such an attitude might not persist forever. Still, it was like this for the current moment at least.
It was the same for her battle with Feng Yunsheng now.
By her own personal wishes, she would prefer to have this long overdue Extreme Yin Bout with Feng Yunsheng, seeing who the most powerful Maiden of Extreme Yin truly was.
Yet, she was not battling as herself now, but as a member of the Sacred Sun Clan against a martial practitioner of Broad Creed Mountain, Feng Yunsheng.
Feng Yunsheng said, “Little Wan, I do not want to shake your determination. Actually, I am the same as you, also wishing to clash with you. Still, there is something that I should tell you. Broad Creed Mountain did not exterminate everyone of the Sacred Sun Clan. Your Master too is not dead, currently being safe and sound at Turbid Wave Pavilion.”
“If you have a chance, you should return to the Eight Extremities World and pay your
Master a visit.”
Of the entire Sacred Sun Clan, there were only two people whom Meng Wan was truly concerned about. One of them was her Master, the other being Feng Yunsheng.
Meng Wan was only ever her most authentic self in front of them.
Hearing this news, a smile blossomed on Meng Wan’s face.
“If there is a chance, I will definitely return to see Master. If, if I do not die beneath your sabre in this battle, senior apprentice-sister Feng,” Pure moonlight manifested in the form of a pure white phoenix above Meng Wan’s head, emitting a clear cry as it soared high into the air.
“Even though Master is still alive, I still have to account to the Sacred Sun Clan in this battle by giving it my all!”
Meng Wan’s expression was solemn as alongside the expanding of the white phoenix’s wings, the surrounding space was tinted with a layer of clear radiance that was cold and tranquil, piercing to the bone.
With the Cold Sun Divine Sabre in hand, Feng Yunsheng’s aura rose unceasingly, the great ice-blue sun illuminating the surrounding area.
“No need to worry, Little Wan. I understand your intentions,” Feng Yunsheng said, striding forward, “For mine are the same as well.”
“Broad Creed Mountain once gifted me a new lease of life. A high-grade Sacred Artifact holds great significance and bears mighty power. I wish to obtain it for my clan.”
The sabre rose, brilliant blue light emitted that illuminated the surrounding heavens and earth.
“Be careful, Little Wan. This sabre of mine might not be any inferior to the Extreme Yin Crown.”
Saying thus, Feng Yunsheng chopped out with her sabre, space directly being broken through.
That might seemed no inferior to the full-powered blow of a Seeing Divinity Martial Saint in the slightest!
A great, shocking collision ensued from the clash between cold sun and the power of extreme yin.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge smiled, “A pity that we cannot just quieten down and spectate this battle.”
The Glorious Rainbow Sword appeared in his hand. As he sliced outwards, that sword-light of Kang Maosheng’s which resembled a long river of time instantly rippled intensely, seeming as though it might be cleaved apart at any moment.
Seeing this, Kang Maosheng and Kang Jinyuan both inhaled a breath of cold air, “Father once said that his sword arts are extremely formidable, surpassing one’s belief. Yet, without witnessing it in person, who could really imagine that it actually possesses such power?”
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge instead laughed, “Still indeed a martial art originating from the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture. Sadly, it is the Immortal Ending Sword that I cultivate in and not the Immortal Trapping Sword.”
While this was what he was thinking, Yan Zhaoge appeared perfectly relaxed as he sent a palm in Zhang Chao’s direction even as he hacked at Kang Maosheng.
Zhang Chao simultaneously punched outwards, two great golden suns intersecting, a fist force that was extremely tough and blazing moving to parry Yan Zhaoge’s palm.
Yet, just as the two forces met, the golden sunlight instantly dimmed, the blazing heat beginning to instead turn cold.
The extremely tough and blazing power of Zhang Chao’s fist was completely reversed by the Cyclic Heavenly Seal, hence formlessly dissipating.
Not giving Zhang Chao the time to react, Yan Zhaoge’s palm technique changed.
He furled four of his fingers, only his index finger remaining as it pointed at Zhang Chao.
A pale, tragic light appeared at Yan Zhaoge’s fingertip. Guided by that light, the power of Zhang Chao’s fist that had been reversed from the extremity of yang to the extremity of yin instantly surged back towards his own body!
Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture, Finger Decrees Yin Yang!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 779: Wherever you go, my Broad Creed Mountain can still take care of you
HSSB779: Wherever you go, my Broad Creed Mountain can still take care of you
Beneath this Yin Yang Finger, Zhang Chao’s fist force instantly reversed where Yan Zhaoge pointed.
Zhang Chao was greatly shocked. Fortunately, due to his cautious personality, he had not unleashed his full strength when striking as he still had the time to change his stance.
With his left hand in front and his right hand behind, Zhang Chao’s twin palms jointly moved to block and dissipate the force from Yan Zhaoge’s finger.
Yet, with this finger of Yan Zhaoge’s, the variations in yin and yang were much too swift, not having the slightest delay at all. Zhang Chao was not in time to exert power with his left palm as the centre of his palm was pierced straight through by Yan Zhaoge’s finger!
Pale radiance opened a bloodied hole at the centre of Zhang Chao’s palm, penetrating through it and then continuing forward.
With this obstruction, Zhang Chao’s right hand managed to agglomerate force in a timely manner as his supremely yang true essence finally blocked the finger’s power that was supremely yin in nature.
Amidst the interaction between yin and yang, another transformation was about to take place.
Zhang Chao dared not hesitate in the least as he hurriedly retreated, avoiding this finger of Yan Zhaoge’s by the narrowest of margins.
He felt shocked whilst also enraged. Already having broken through space and seen true Divinity, attaining the Seeing Divinity Martial Saint realm, the power unleashed by him as he executed the Supreme Yang Fist was even more fearsome and unparalleled.
In terms of prowess displayed in a frontal battle, Zhang Chao was extremely outstanding amongst martial practitioners of the same cultivation level even in the World beyond Worlds.
Yet, Yan Zhaoge cultivated in the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture and was versed in the Yin Yang Finger, this just happening to perfectly counter his Supreme Yang Fist, completely leaving him at his mercy.
He had all the strength that he possessed, yet lacked a field on which to display it!
Kang Maosheng could only join forces with Zhang Chao now, expanding the sword-light of the Time Flowing Sword which transformed into a long river of time, hacking down towards Yan Zhaoge.
Beneath the sword-light, Yan Zhaoge’s speed seemed to instantly decrease.
Yan Zhaoge’s expression did not change as beneath his feet, a black qi appeared on one side and a white qi on the other.
The black and white qis intermingled, rising up Yan Zhaoge’s legs and being unleashed via his spine.
The finger of his left hand pointed at Kang Maosheng’s sword-light, his fingertip vaguely appearing black and white.
The fishes of yin and yang intermingled, a Taiji diagram vaguely manifesting.
As the Taiji diagram circulated, Kang Maosheng’s sword-light was instantly led askew, instead hacking towards Zhang Chao!
Kang Maosheng and Zhang Chao simultaneously stared wide-eyed at this.
Kang Maosheng who had already attained the early Seeing Divinity stage had already long since accomplished perfect control of his martial dao and true essence, controlling it thoroughly and unleashing and revoking it as he so desired.
Unless his opponent was much more powerful than him or had martial arts which just happened to counter his Time Flowing Sword, even if Kang Maosheng lost, he would still be able to demonstrate his full martial prowess at the very least.
How had such a thing as this ever happened, where his sword-light had gone askew on its own accord, with even revoking it being difficult?
With his sword being led askew by Yan Zhaoge, things became really tragic for Zhang Chao.
His Laogong acupoint on his left palm had been pierced straight through by Yan Zhaoge’s finger, unable to exert force as true essence was unceasingly leaking from it. It could be considered as temporarily useless.
Having paid such a tragic price to avoid Yan Zhaoge’s attack with much difficulty, before he had the time to catch his breath, Kang Maosheng’s Time Flowing Sword had already appeared before him!
Enveloped by
the sword-light, Zhang Chao’s figure instantly slowed, his left shoulder being struck as blood spurted out from it like a geyser.
Fortunately, as Kang Maosheng exerted his full power in revoking this sword, Zhang Chao managed to barely survive.
Yet, in the meantime, after leading Kang Maosheng’s sword-light askew with his finger, Yan Zhaoge hacked outwards with his own Glorious Rainbow Sword!
Where his sword light passed, all things headed into extinction.
There was only a single speck of brilliant light before Kang Maosheng’s eyes which expanded non-stop, occupying the entire heavens and earth.
The next instant, it seemed like the sword-light was about to stab between his brows, penetrating right through his head!
He roared severely, a layer of water-light surfacing atop his entire body as he seemed to have sunk within the long river of time.
Time flowed swiftly. Enveloped by the light of time, Kang Maosheng’s speed suddenly increased as he barely evaded Yan Zhaoge’s sword by the narrowest of margins.
Boosted by this secret technique, while his movement speed was higher, his longevity too was also flowing away at an increased rate.
Even so, however, a red dot appeared between Kang Maosheng’s brows as he saw stars and a pain stabbed through his head.
At this crucial moment of life and death, Zhang Chao did not dare to hold anything back in the least.
He rose and leapt, striking down towards the top of Yan Zhaoge’s head from above.
While he was unable to use his left hand, the fingers of his right hand were clenched into a fist that slammed down towards Yan Zhaoge’s head.
Bright golden light agglomerated unceasingly, gradually turning purple.
Zhang Chao seemed to have manifested into a great purple sun in his entirety which plummeted downwards from above the sky!
This great purple sun was even more terrifying than a great golden sun, as though the heavens and earth had reached their end with major calamities descending, till everything eventually collapsed!
The strongest technique of the Supreme Yang Fist, self-created by Zhang Chao, the Purple Sun Wheel that surpassed all the martial arts ever created by the past ancestors of the Sacred Sun Clan!
