A Chaotic, Fierce Battle
A Hero Roams the Jianghu Without Regret!
Chapter 916 Fierce Battle
After witnessing Si Ming bravely stop the "Barbarian King," everyone rushed to intercept and kill the "Barbarian King's" men. However, as soon as they started fighting, they realized something was wrong.
"Pierce Heaven and Harness the Sun!"
"Supreme White Arrow - Fierce Breaking Kill!"
Yang Lijing and Liu Qingqing, the two archers, were the first to strike, their two arrows piercing the air from afar. However, the Eagle King and Vulture King, who were being targeted, simply waved their hands casually, deflecting the attack.
"Ice Mountain Sword Waves!"
The Chivalrous Confucian Jun Yan drew his sword, Bitter Plum Sword blossomed with ice flowers, stirring up a thousand layers of snow waves. A strange sight suddenly appeared in the sky, with wind and snow gathering like a river, soaring into the sky.
"A flashy but impractical thing."
Crocodile King sneered, drew his twin blades, and unleashed two jet-black blade beams that cleaved through the thousand layers of snow waves with unstoppable force. The remaining power still slammed into Jun Yan, shattering his True Qi aura and severely injuring him with a single blow.
Mu Wu and Ji Da quickly joined forces to intercept the Crocodile King, preventing the opponent from killing Chivalrous Confucian in one fell swoop. Xue Buqi and his female subordinate Hua Ling also joined forces to block the Eagle King. Ying Zhou and Xia Guanxue faced the Vulture King, Murong Wu faced the Scorpion King alone.
According to the pre-arranged plan, Yan Jinghong and Ling Huanxi were responsible for dealing with the only female barbarian, the Leopard King, while Liu Qingqing and Yang Lijing guarded the Divine Pillar, sniping from a distance with bows and arrows, and also taking on the task of preventing enemy sneak attacks.
Now that the Leopard King has not appeared, Yan Jinghong and Ling Huanxi should be able to help their companions and snowball the killing of the Barbarian Race powerhouses one by one. However, the situation has changed beyond everyone's expectations, or rather, the strength of the opponents has exceeded expectations.
In a single exchange, Mu Wu, Ji Da, Xue Buqi, Hua Ling, Ying Zhou, and Xia Guanxue were all defeated. Among them, Mu Wu and Xue Buqi were at the Peak Spirit Transformation, and Ying Zhou was protected by the White Tiger Profound Armor. The three of them retreated unharmed, while the other three were forcibly injured by the Barbarian Race powerhouse with their overwhelming strength in their first encounter.
"Be careful, they possess the cultivation level of the Void Returning Realm!"
Murong Wu shouted loudly. Even with the help of the Heaven-Hooking Divine Sword, he could only barely defeat the Scorpion King by a narrow margin. However, this advantage was too slight, and he did not gain any advantage in the battle.
"You dare to stand in His Majesty's way? You will all die today!"
A powerful, Vicious Qi coalesced into wings behind the Eagle King. With a flap of its wings, it darted forward like a black shadow, its target Hua Ling, intending to kill her in one fell swoop.
The Crocodile King and the Vulture King did the same, targeting Ji Da and Xia Guanxue, unleashing their ultimate moves to kill the weaker opponents first.
"The Sword Rises, Wind and Clouds Move!"
"Swift Surge and Chilling Waves!"
"Mars Arrow - Fierce Blazing Flames!"
Yan Jinghong, Ling Huanxi, and Liu Qingqing rushed to the rescue. The first two personally stepped forward, blocking the attack and then risking their lives to entangle the opponent.
Facing the fiery arrow that shot like a meteor, the Vulture King smiled coldly and did not block it. His figure shattered like a bubble, causing the flaming arrow to miss its target. He then appeared in another position and turned to attack the already injured Chivalrous Confucian Jun Yan.
As a Spirit Transformation Grandmaster, it wouldn't be difficult for Chivalrous Confucian to save his life. He could simply feint an attack and escape by turning into light at the cost of serious injury. However, he was currently in the middle of the battlefield, with Mu Wu and the others fighting fiercely in front of him. Behind him was the Divine Pillar that was being repaired. If he retreated, Liu Qingqing and Yang Lijing would have to face the enemy's attacks directly, making it extremely difficult to protect the Divine Pillar.
"Azure Blood and Loyal Heart are forged into a sword; to sacrifice oneself for righteousness is not the most difficult thing."
Sages and worthies, feeling injustice, entrust themselves to the sun and moon; Heaven and Earth, feeling injustice, rage against the wind and thunder!
The Chivalrous Confucian raised his sword to the sky, gathering the power of wind and thunder, and unleashed One Sword furious slash. The sword light suddenly poured down like a rainbow, exuding a righteous and awe-inspiring aura.
"Blade Punishment: Thousand Prisons!"
The Vulture King's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he transformed into countless clones, charging forward. Each clone that collided with the sword rainbow weakened the sword's momentum. By the time all the clones were destroyed, the sword rainbow, entwined with wind and thunder, was as brittle as paper.
"Respect to you! A Confucian scholar of unparalleled chivalry."
With a single claw tearing through the void, leaving five streaks, the sword rainbow shattered in response. Facing a formidable enemy with overwhelming Vicious Qi, the Chivalrous Confucian was fearless and undaunted, brandishing his sword to meet the challenge head-on.
The two clashed like thunderbolts, exchanging hundreds of blows in that brief moment. The Bitter Plum Sword shattered with a clang, and the Vulture King was thrown back, a deep, bone-revealing wound appearing on his chest, but he still clutched a burning, violently beating heart in his hand.
"Now, it's up to you all..."
The middle-aged Confucian scholar closed his eyes and died on the spot.
"Chivalrous Confucian!"
Yang Lijing's eyes were bloodshot, his face flushed with blood, and he gritted his teeth as he fired an arrow. The arrow exploded in mid-air, transforming into the shape of a dragon and a tiger that roared out.
But the Vulture King ignored him, his protective Gang Qi, the Heavenly Silkworm Force, naturally activating to easily block the attack. He then said contemptuously, "You can't even recognize the difference in strength, you're just a reckless brute who lets your emotions run wild. Since you're so eager to die, then so be it!"
After saying this, he was about to set off to kill Yang Lijing when a sword and a spear pierced the air and stopped him. It was Mu Wu and Xue Buqi, two Peak Spirit Transformation, working together. At the same time, Ji Da and Hua Ling came from the side to support him. The four of them worked together and finally trapped him.
On the other side, Ling Huanxi touched the ground with the tip of her spear, and a chilling aura spread out, activating the Nine Heavens Profound Ice Array to trap the Crocodile King within. She and Yan Jinghong cooperated tacitly, their swords and spears moving in rapid succession, stirring up ice and snow like a waterfall, making it difficult to determine who was stronger for the time being.
"You two juniors think you can mess with me?"
The Eagle King glanced at Ying Zhou and Xia Guanxue, who were blocking his way, and sneered, his voice filled with disdain. "Overestimating yourselves."
Luo Tao curled his lip and said to Xia Guanxue, "See? It's all because you didn't perform well that I was looked down upon by this jerk."
"Aren't you ashamed to say that while wearing Profound Armor?"
"Get ready, we're going to fight tooth and nail. If we get outdone by Little Wu, we won't be able to act like the big brother anymore."
"I don't need you to remind me. Besides, you're the only one putting on airs."
The two moved swiftly, their experience of fighting side by side multiple times had already forged an unparalleled tacit understanding. Blade energy and sword Sword Qi surged forth, creating a turbocharger that stirred up a current of ice and fire, swirling like a saw.
"Fancy attacks."
Eagle King drew a curved blade with a wide arc, unleashing a massive blade of energy tens of feet long. It surged forward, cutting through the wind and waves, shattering the ice and fire turbine head-on, and forcefully cleaving a deep trench in the earth below. It was a sight to behold, with flying rocks and jade, its power overwhelming.
"Compassionate Body Precept Thunderclap!"
