Heavenly Prodigy Assembly (14)
"Damn it, I've run into a tough opponent!"
Sighing inwardly, the Qing Ao Lion hurriedly activated its defensive Divine Ability.
His already long hair grew wildly, intertwining rapidly and instantly forming a blue barrier.
The barrier appeared to be a thin layer, but it was actually exceptionally tough, and even ordinary Nascent Soul Late Stage experts could not break through it.
But this time he was facing the strongest member of the Yang Household family in terms of fighting talent, the supreme genius of the Dharma-Protecting War God Way of Combat Talent lineage.
With a single sweep of the gun, accompanied by the sound of tearing cloth, the blue barrier woven from hair shattered instantly.
In the Qing Ao Lion's mind, it felt as if he had been hit by a towering mountain that had fallen from the sky. His whole body was groaning, blue blood was gushing out from his pores, his Root Bone organs were being torn to shreds.
Laugh!!
One shot, then another.
Yang Xuanwu's battles are always fair and square, with bold and sweeping attacks. He uses his unparalleled fighting style to overwhelm his opponents, and this time was no exception.
Bang!!
A blue crystal barrier suddenly appeared above the Qing Ao Lion's head.
The Long Spear, moving with lightning speed, stopped abruptly, transitioning from extreme motion to complete stillness, demonstrating Yang Xuanwu's absolute control over his own power.
Watching his opponent leave the field silently, Yang Xuanwu remained silent. The intervention of Sage Manifestation powerhouse was exactly what he had expected.
Don't be fooled by how badly the Qing Ao Lion was beaten; in reality, this guy's talent is definitely not weak, and breaking through to the Spirit Transformation will be no problem for him.
Even in the Nine Phoenix Realm, a Spirit Transformation powerhouse would be a dominant force, and no high-ranking member of any major power would abandon such a person if they could be saved.
The Sage Manifestation from the Lu Wu Realm did not stop them. By this time, both sides had reached a tacit understanding, and neither side wanted to easily lose a prodigy at the Nascent Soul Realm stage.
Time passed slowly, and after several fierce battles, Yang Xuanwu advanced into the Top Thirty-Two with unstoppable momentum.
At this moment, the powerful forces within the Black-Gold Palace began to look at Yang Tianyou with a different gaze.
The Yang Household sent five members to participate in the Heavenly Prodigy Assembly. In addition to Yang Taishan, Yang Lingjian Champion, Yang Huangge was among the top four, Yang Xuanyang was among the top eight, and Yang Xuanwu easily advanced to the Top Thirty-Two. Judging from his momentum, even the Top Sixteen would not be able to stop him.
Therefore, the achievements of the Yang Household alone surpass those of Holy Land-level Force, the implications of which are self-evident.
Facing a barrage of gazes—some envious, some friendly, some jealous, some hateful, some indifferent, some cold— Yang Tianyou remained calm.
Before the Heavenly Prodigy Assembly began, he never expected that his little ones would be so promising.
Although it seems that they have been too ambitious and have attracted a lot of trouble, especially from the Nine Phoenix Realm, they probably have already taken a grudge against the Yang Household family. If given the chance, they will definitely uproot the Yang Household.
But it's too late to cover it up now; it only makes it seem like an attempt to conceal the truth.
All Yang Tianyou could do was to deal with whatever came his way, seize the time to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, conceal the dark purple Fortune of his Lineage, and try to reduce the Nine Phoenix Realm's attention to the Yang Household as much as possible, thus gaining more time for development.
Below, after a short period of rest, the thirty-two Nascent Soul Middle Stage realm stepped into the Formation barrier.
Yang Xuanwu held his Long Spear upside down, his heroic and masculine face slightly raised as he looked at the three Phoenixes before him.
Even from a great distance, he could almost feel the intensely hot Phoenix True Fire.
Nine-Phoenix Qi spread their wings and stood in mid-air, their three pairs of narrow and sharp phoenix eyes fixed on the young man in front of them, who was as masculine as the sun.
He had only ever seen that indomitable spirit of fighting against heaven and earth in Prince Wu Feng.
"I must be mistaken. How can a mere Nascent Soul Realm Human Race compare to Old Ancestor Wu Feng?" Nine-Phoenix Qi murmured to himself.
Soon, a light screen appeared, and the battle began.
Above Yang Xuanwu's head Battle-Intent Furnace, with boundless battle intent transforming into blazing flames that burned fiercely within the furnace. His cultivation level began to rise steadily, and he soon broke through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
At the same time, he also unleashed the Mad Demon Halberd Technique, inherited from the War Venerable Dayi.
The combination of the two unleashed a terrifying aura.
At this point, the God of War of the Yang Household had only just begun to unleash his full power.
"What?"
Nine-Phoenix Qi's eyes widened, all three pairs of phoenix eyes flashing with disbelief. This guy's strength is just too unreasonable!
"Watch out for your gun!"
With a low shout from Yang Xuanwu, the Four Symbols Sacred Spear in his hand was thrust out.
Laugh!!
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered around the Long Spear, forming a vortex channel. The center was a vacuum, with only the extremely strong fighting spirit flowing within it, as if it had opened up the entire world.
Cracking!!
The deadly threat made Nine-Phoenix Qi's heart clench. The terrifying feeling that a single bullet could kill him was like an endless, deep night, both terrifying and profound.
Phoenix True Fire the size of human heads roared out, instantly causing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to boil and burn wherever they passed. Dozens of miles of land were turned into a sea of fire. If Golden Core Cultivator were in this sea of fire, he would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant, leaving no trace of his body.
The Long Spear collided with the sea of fire, tearing a path through it.
The flames on both sides were still raging, but they seemed to be stopped by an invisible barrier, like the raging river in the riverbank, or like a ferocious beast in a cage. They looked terrifying, but in reality, they could not cause any harm to Yang Xuanwu.
He strolled leisurely through the fiery passage, his Long Spear flashing repeatedly. The dense, Chaos Spear Light contained extremely powerful destructive force, making it impossible for Nine-Phoenix Qi to lift his head. Before long, he was covered in wounds and severely injured on the spot.
Pfft!!
What seemed like an insignificant flaw was, in Yang Xuanwu's eyes, as dazzling as Copper Mirror under the sun.
Without a second thought, he raised his Long Spear and delivered a simple, horizontal thrust that pierced through Nine-Phoenix Qi's chest.
Thump!!
The enormous phoenix head fell to the ground, and with a whoosh, the Phoenix True Fire ignited, instantly healing Nine-Phoenix Qi's injuries.
However, when facing a genius like Yang Xuanwu who is extremely skilled in combat, once he gains the upper hand, it is difficult to fight back.
Shot after shot, the Storm onslaught gave Nine-Phoenix Qi no chance, and before long, he lost his second life.
With only one remaining, Nine-Phoenix Qi realized he was no match for this guy. He withstood Yang Xuanwu's spear thrust, flapped his wings, and left the Formation barrier, choosing to concede defeat.
With this, Yang Xuanwu successfully entered the Top Sixteen. The process was so smooth that it was astonishing. It didn't seem like a battle between equals, but rather like he was crushing his opponent.
It should be noted that Nine-Phoenix Qi is a Jiufeng Imperial Clan, and his talent is beyond doubt. Normal Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators are no match for him, and even those at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection can be challenged.
Yet, this very being was utterly defeated by Yang Xuanwu. Anyone with eyes could see just how terrifying the potential this young cultivator possessed was.
