A frigid temperature began to spread, like a nefarious hand robbing away one’s breath.
That darkness element godforce surged and expanded, mad and violent.
Rumble!
Huwang Xiao’s Asura Demon Claw and Yelu Chufei’s Five Element Tribulation Palm collided, resulting in a booming blast.
The violently quaking earth felt as if the whole Martial Spirit World had shifted in space.
The Yelu Family Grand Elders and Elders felt their minds go blank from the shockwaves as their bodies flew out in different directions. Among them, only the Grand Elders who reached Fifth Order and Sixth Order Highgod Realm were still able to maintain a shred of consciousness, while the weaker ones at Second Order and Third Order were coughing up blood.
Yelu Chufei himself was tumbling in the air after the collision, pushed all the way until he was out of the Huwang Clan Manor’s boundary, whereas Huwang Xiao recoiled several hundred meters back.
Blood came up Yelu Chufei’s throat, some leaked out from the corner of his mouth. Brusquely wiping it off with his sleeve, Yelu Chufei’s eyes looked at Huwang Xiao with bewilderment, then at the blood stain on his sleeve—he was actually injured!
He was injured by Huwang Xiao!
“You!” Great waves of shock crashed inside Yelu Chufei’s heart as he looked at Huwang Xiao again in disbelief.
Similar expressions could also be seen on the remaining Yelu Family Grand Elders and Elders’ face, and even more so, there was fear in their eyes.
At this time, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, the Ascending Moon Old Man, and a few others were standing in the air above the Huwang Clan Manor, shielding Shi Xiaofei, Huwang Peng, Su Yan, and the rest behind them. On top of that, due to the defensive barriers' protection, no one was injured by the shockwaves.
There was only coldness in Huwang Xiao’s eyes as he looked at Yelu Chufei. His dragon body swayed, reaching a group of Yelu Family masters, and his enormous dragon claw struck out again.
Another thunderous blast reverberated as yet another pit in the shape of a dragon claw was added to the ground.
Before anyone could react, a dragon tail swept out, sending out a whirlwind of lightning element godforce, sending more Yelu Family masters flying into the air.
Although the Yelu Family Grand Elders and Elders that could stand until now weren't weak, they were just too vulnerable in front of Huwang Xiao.
Even if Huwang Xiao did not transform into a primordial divine dragon, using merely his physical strength in that palm strike, those Sixth Order Highgod Realm Yelu Family masters still wouldn't be able to withstand it without incurring heavy injuries. Not to mention that Huwang Xiao was currently in his primordial divine dragon form.
“Huwang Xiao, how dare you!” Shocked and furious, Yelu Chufei was on the verge of going berserk. The Grand Elders and Elders who came with him to the Martial Spirit World were the pillars of their Yelu Family, the foundation of their strength. Every single person was nurtured through heavy investment by their Yelu Family.
A long knife appeared in Yelu Chufei’s hand.
This weapon was a muted black through and through, except for the web-like lines of blood on its surface, emitting a frigid coldness and bloodthirst.
In his fury, Yelu Chufei madly imbued his entire body’s godforce into the long knife until it was emitting a clear humming noise. A black light then exploded from the long knife, followed by a blood-red light which turned Yelu Chufei’s surroundings into a sea of blood red.
“Black Devil’s Demonic Knife!”
Watching from afar, the Ascending Moon Old Man blurted out when he saw the long knife that Yelu Chufei took out.
“Black Devil’s Demonic Knife?” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi repeated in confusion, while the others looked at the old man.
The Ascending Moon Old Man swallowed audibly before finding his voice, “Several millennia ago, there was a devil clan master called Black Devil, and his weapon was a knife thirsting for blood, dedicated to drinking the blood of human masters. The cultivators who died under this blood knife numbered several hundred thousand if not millions. Everywhere this blood knife appears, blood will flows into a river, bodies pile high as a mountain!”
Everyone’s face became ashen hearing the Ascending Moon Old Man’s explanation. This bloodthirsty knife had tasted more than a hundred thousand people’s blood!
“Later, it even alerted the Ancestors from various galaxies generations, ho rarely appeared in public. They joined hands and killed that Black Devil.” The old man added.
“And after that?” Ancestor Bifang urged.
“After that, the Black Devil disappeared. Some said he died under those Ancestors’ besiegement, others think the Black Devil was gravely injured and went into hiding." The Ascending Moon Old Man went on, “After the Black Devil disappeared, his blood knife also disappeared. I didn’t expect it to actually reappear in the world in Yelu Chufei’s hands.”
Right at this time, Yelu Chufei roared, pushing the Black Devil’s Demonic Knife down on Huwang Xiao.
The Ascending Moon Old Man, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, and the rest watched fearfully as the frightening waves of energy cut through space, emitting a devilish black qi that roiled like poisonous fog while blood-red light soared to the sky from its depths.
Even several hundred li away from Yelu Chufei, the Ascending Moon Old Man could smell a pungent blood scent, the devil energy brimming inside that devilish black qi even made him feel fearful.
Watching those frightening devilish black qi waves closing in on him, Huwang Xiao suddenly opened his dragon jaws wide, releasing a roar.
Great Demonic Yin Sound!
This Demonic Yin Sound was a technique that Huwang Xiao obtained from a Poison Saint Sect Elder in the past. A technique he rarely used.
The dragon roar reverberated, multiplying akin to tens of thousands of demonic dragons roaring at the same time, colliding again and again with the frightening devilish black qi.
Seemingly never-ending blasts rang high in the sky. From place to place, space fissures appeared and enlarged.
Then, golden rings of light began to spread from Huwang Xiao’s dragon body, expanding in size.
To Yelu Chufei’s shock, the devilish black qi in those golden rings’ path was completely purified.
“This is, light element godforce?!” Yelu Chufei stammered, “Your godhead even has light element godforce?!”
Huwang Xiao’s dragon mouth opened again, sucking in all the devilish black qi that had been purified.
His dragon body then swayed again, putting Huwang Xiao right in front of Yelu Chufei, his dragon claw clutching down.
Yelu Chufei was astounded, the long knife in his hand slashed down.
Dangdang!
Yelu Chufei felt a sharp pain in his arms as he was thrown into the air, the long knife flying from his grip.
Meanwhile, in the outer space, the Azure Dragon Institute Principal Qin Yi led a large group of Azure Dragon Institute Grand Elders to enter the barrier surrounding Martial Spirit World. The moment they entered, they immediately sensed Martial Spirit World’s amazing spiritual energy.
“Master, it seems like the Yelu Family masters have arrived at the Huwang Clan Manor.” Ceng Chu snickered, “The Huwang Clan Manor is probably flowing with blood right now!”
Qin Yi laughed, “If we head there now, we’ll arrive at just the right time to give Huwang Xiao those one hundred giant redwood coffins we made for him. Let’s hope he doesn’t die before seeing our gift.”
With that said, Qin Yi and the Azure Dragon Institute group sped off toward the Huwang Clan Manor.
Ch.899
Huwang Clan Manor.
After sending Yelu Chufei flying, Huwang Xiao did not continue to attack him, and targeted another group of Yelu Family masters instead. In the shortest time, close to twenty Yelu Family cultivators were knocked down, heavily injured.
Huwang Xiao had a good measure of the amount force he used, merely inflicting he
avy injuries that robbed away the opponent’s resistance while leaving their lives hanging by a thread.
When Yelu Chufei managed to steady himself and saw what Huwang Xiao did, his eyes bulged with fury. Quickly looking around, he spotted the Huwang Family members in the air above the back mountain, followed by a shout, “Huwang Xiao, if you dare to kill one more member of my Yelu Family, I’ll kill your entire Huwang Family!” With one Greater Space Teleportation, he reached the Huwang Clan Manor’s back mountain where Huwang Xiao’s family was located.
Yelu Chufei wouldn't be able to stop Huwang Xiao if he insisted on targeting his Yelu Family Grand Elders and Elders, therefore, his only option was to use the Huwang Family to threaten him.
The Black Devil Demonic Knife was now back in Yelu Chufei’s hand. Just as he was about to slash down on the defensive barrier, Huwang Xiao opened his mouth and spat out a tiny mountain that shot out at Yelu Chufei.
As it flew toward him, the tiny mountain expanded in the blink of an eye, turning into an ancient divine heavenly mountain.
The Heavenly Mountain!
Yelu Chufei first saw a shadow loom over his head, then felt a whelming wind force striking him on the back, causing him look over his shoulder. What he saw was a great mountain, its peak hidden in the sky, with a width larger than the eyes could see.
Incredulity rose to Yelu Chufei’s face no longer having the luxury of dealing with the Huwang Family. The Black Devil Demonic Knife in his hand slashed at the Heavenly Mountain with all his strength in an attempt to block it.
But, when the Black Devil Demonic Knife’s devilish qi hit the Heavenly Mountain’s body, the mountain merely quivered a little in the air. Apart from that, there was no other effect as it continued on its way.
Yelu Chufei panicked, quickly executing Greater Space Teleportation in order to dodge the Heavenly Mountain. Less than a second after he vanished, the Heavenly Mountain arrived at his former location.
Yelu Chufei that had just hid into a space pocket when he felt an indescribable force spreading through the air.
A violent quake ran through the earth following a thunderous boom.
When the dust settled, a great pit appeared in the ground, with spider-web wide fissures stretching deep into the earth.
Huwang Xiao’s dragon claw pointed at the air, circulating his godforce into the Heavenly Mountain’s central formation. The formation lit up in a glimmering light as a powerful but gentle suction force flowed out.
Shi Xiaofei, the Ascending Moon Old Man, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, Feng Yang, and the others merely saw the scene in front of them change, and they were already inside a strange hall they had never seen before.
After making sure his family and the others were safe, Huwang Xiao no longer had scruples about going all out. With a turn, his dragon claw slashed toward another group of Yelu Family Elders and Grand Elders.
Screams of pain and angry shouts rang in the air.
Several Yely Family masters were even fleeing in fear.
A deep rumbling snicker sounded from the giant blue divine dragon. With a light sway of his body, Huwang Xiao’s dragon form was already blocking these fleeing Yelu Family masters’ path.
“Huwang, Huwang Xiao, don’t kill us, we…” One of the Yelu Family Elders stammered.
But he was sent flying with a swipe of Huwang Xiao’s dragon claw before he could finish the words, his chest exploding from the force.
When Yelu Chufei flew out from the deep great pit and saw Huwang Xiao one-sidedly tearing through his Elders and Grand Elders, hatred and rage exploded in his eyes, followed by killing intent madly surging in heart, but there was also the stirring of regret.
He regretted underestimating Huwang Xiao, regretted standing against him, and his biggest regret was that he did not exert all of his strength in killing Huwang Xiao on the Aeon Square.
He looked around at the Yelu Family masters who were weeping and wailing in pain, or those barely breathing, then back at the Heavenly Mountain in the sky. Yelu Chufei’s gaze was extremely chilling.
It was clear now, it was already impossible for him to kill Huwang Xiao. But there was an intense unwillingness in him to leave things as they were.
‘Huwang Xiao, I’ll let you live a few more days. I won’t forget this matter, nor will I let it end just like this!’ Yelu Chufei inwardly thought. Despite the unwillingness in his heart, he decided to retreat for now.
He needed to hurry to the City of Devils and find their Yelu Family Ancestor. With their Ancestor here, Huwang Xiao’s death was certain!
Yelu Chufei’s figure blurred, disappearing in a flicker.
However, just as he was about to get away with a Greater Space Teleportation, a dragon claw reached out, forcefully stopping his movement.
Yelu Chufei fell out from the void, his widened eyes stared at Huwang Xiao, confounded.
Huwang Xiao’s sneered, “You want to run? Yelu Chufei, you think you can run?” Although he had been targeting the Yelu Family masters, he had also been keeping an eye on Yelu Chufei, hence, the instant he tried to use Greater Space Teleportation, Huwang Xiao immediately saw through it.
Yelu Chufei retorted sarcastically, “Huwang Xiao, I admit you’re stronger than me right now. I’m no match for you, but you’re far from being able to kill me. I can leave as I want, your days are numbered when I find my family’s Ancestor!”
“Is that so?” Huwang Xiao’s snicker sounded like low rumbling thunder, the humor did not reach his eyes, “Too bad you won't have this chance.”
“You said that I can’t kill you, then I will have you die right now!” All three of Huwang Xiao’s supreme godheads rotated simultaneously.
Splendid radiance burst out from his huge dragon body.
The sudden explosion of pressure from Huwang Xiao’s body made Yelu Chufei stagger back unconsciously, his face deathly pale as a thought occurred to him: Huwang Xiao was holding back his power earlier!
‘No, how is this possible?!’ He clearly remembered that Huwang Xiao’s cultivation was only mid-Fourth Order Highgod Realm.
How could a mid-Fourth Order Highgod Realm exude such a powerful aura?! However, there was no time for him to think any further.
Yelu Chufei pulled every strand of godforce he could from his body, flying upward akin to a great peng spreading its wings, traversing several hundred thousand li in the blink of an eye.
This Great Peng movement technique was one of the most powerful movement skills that Yelu Chufei cultivated, a technique he hadn’t used in several thousand years. Even so, he executed the technique with ease.
Although he was fast, Huwang Xiao was even faster. In a flash, Huwang Xiao was right behind him. His Infinite Buddha Supreme Godhead rotated at full force, causing Buddhism godforce to rush out as his Earthen Buddha Palm struck onto Yelu Chufei.
After taking the full force of Huwang Xiao’s Earthen Buddha Palm, Yelu Chufei shot downward diagonally.
Far in the distance, the Azure Dragon Institute Principal Qin Yi and his group of Azure Dragon Institute masters were hurrying toward the Huwang Clan Manor when they saw a figure flying at them from the front, startling them.
‘This is?’
Qin Yi, Ceng Chu, and the rest finally saw the face of the person who was crashing toward them, filling them with shock. Their mouths were agape.
“Yelu Chufei?!” Qin Yi, Ceng Chu, and the others exclaimed out loud.
They watched as Yelu Chufei spurted more than a few mouthfuls of blood in a breath’s time, then crashed into a mountain cliff, shattering a large chunk of it.
Then, Qin Yi, Ceng Chu, and the others saw a primordial divine dragon flying over at high speed.
Because no one from the Azure Dragon Institute ever saw Huwang Xiao transforming into a divine dragon, they weren't aware that this dragon in front of them was actually him.
When they realized that a primordial divine dragon was hounding Yelu Chufei, all of them stiffened in place, not daring to even breathe. But there
was the same confusion in everyone’s minds; since when was there such a terrifying primordial divine dragon here in the Martial Spirit World?
Ch.900
Huwang Xiao had already spotted the Azure Dragon Institute’s group. The cold gaze of his scarlet dragon eyes swept over them, but he decided to deal with Yelu Chufei first. In a flicker, he arrived right above the mountain peak where Yelu Chufei crashed down earlier.
He would deal with Qin Yi and the rest later, as their group wasn't an immediate issue.
Huwang Xiao’s dragon claw reached out, slamming down again on Yelu Chufei’s body that was now half buried into the cliff.
Rumble!
The entire mountain cliff shattered, rocks and gravel rolled down, burying Yelu Chufei underneath.
In the distance, Qin Yi’s group watched this scene with ashen faces, their hearts raced as if they would jump out from their chests at any time.
“Master, that divine dragon is too scary.” Ceng Chu whispered in a low voice, sounding hoarse due to his dry throat. “What do we do now?”
Qin Yi inhaled deeply to calm the turbulent shock in his heart, appearing as calm as he could, “If we leave now, we might anger this Senior divine dragon, let’s hope it isn't related to Huwang Xiao.”
Ceng Chu and the rest were trying to sneak away silently, but hearing Qin Yi’s words, they quickly nipped the thought, standing there without daring to move a muscle.
They could only pray that Senior divine dragon had no relationship with Huwang Xiao.
Otherwise...!
Qin Yi dared not think of the consequences.
At this time, Huwang Xiao’s dragon claw was already attacking Yelu Chufei again.
The gravel and rocks that previously fell on top of Yelu Chufei were reduced to dust, scattered in all directions, revealing Yelu Chufei.
His body was already injured to the point of being unrecognizable, embedded deep into the ground.
Huwang Xiao snorted. His three supreme godheads rotated at the same time as his dragon claw came down on Yelu Chufei once more.
