Serious Consequences
"Brother Guan, haven't you noticed that this kid's Method Formula are a bit strange? Do you really think we're confident we can get rid of him?" The purple-robed elder voiced his concerns.
The old man in black robes chuckled and said, "Brother Yu, you're overthinking it. Did you notice that the key to this kid's victory lies in that mist? As long as we don't enter that mist, he can't do anything to us. Or rather, we can kill him before he releases the mist... Hehe! With the two of us attacking, that kid probably won't have a chance to release the mist. Brother Yu, after we kill that kid, we'll split the contents of his Storage Bag equally, including those two treasured swords. What do you say?"
The old man in purple robes, who had initially shown some hesitation, raised an eyebrow upon hearing about the two precious swords and nodded slightly, saying, "Perhaps we can give it a try!"
Yue Qianchou had thought that the battle just now would be enough to intimidate this group. Seeing that no one answered after he shouted, he sneered and went to pick up the Storage Bag. But before he could reach Wen Rui, two Storage Bag came flying through the air and landed right in front of him.
Looking back, an old man in black robes and an old man in purple robes appeared in the arena at some point. The former sneered, "No need to pick up the stuff, we'll do it for you later." His tone was full of confidence.
The crowd of onlookers immediately stirred again. Everyone was shocked to see that Yue Qianchou had even killed Chu Dingfang, who late Tribulation Transcendence stage. They never expected that a Nascent Soul Realm would have such ability. They had no choice but to prepare themselves for losing face.
The sudden appearance of the two individuals gave everyone hope. Many recognized them, and the appearance of these two late Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators was indeed unexpected. It was generally believed that late Tribulation Transcendence stage would be concerned with saving face, and it was unlikely that more than two individuals would simultaneously attack a Nascent Soul Realm. However, even a late Tribulation Transcendence stage might not be able to defeat Yue Qianchou.
Just as they were preparing to accept this unacceptable reality, an unexpected event occurred. At this moment, no one felt ashamed of the two's behavior, because it concerned everyone's reputation.
However, some people couldn't stand it. Nong Zhu snorted coldly and transmitted her voice to Wen Rui, "Some people are really shameless."
Wen Rui smiled but remained silent. It was Yue Qianchou who had made those boastful remarks. Since he dared to say them, he had to have the courage to face reality and couldn't entirely blame others.
Yue Qianchou squinted at the two men. To dare speak like that at this time, they must be cultivators at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage. Sure enough, a voice from Nong Zhu rang in his ear. "Don't be careless, kid. The one in black is Guan Zhongkai, a disciple of Yin Baikang Jue, Sikong Jue's eldest disciple. The one in Ziyi is Yu Landu, a disciple of Shangguan Taiping, a mid Spirit Transformation stage cultivator from the Purple Thistle Kingdom. Both of them are at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Realm."
"Are you two going to come at me together?" Yue Qianchou asked sarcastically.
Yu Landu looked slightly embarrassed, while Guan Zhongkai remained calm and sneered, "If you're scared, it's not too late. Kneel down and beg for mercy. Leave the contents of your Storage Bag, and I'll spare your life."
"If you want something, you'd better have the ability to take it." Yue Qianchou finished speaking, he immediately threw out a flying sword and quickly soared into the sky. These two knew he had some skills, yet they still dared to come. They must be confident in dealing with him, so he dared not underestimate them now.
"Hehe!" Guan Zhongkai sneered, and a flying sword flashed out from his Storage Bag, chasing after Yue Qianchou was flying into the air. He then teleported away from where he stood.
Without hesitation, Yu Landu shot into the air at incredible speed...
All eyes were drawn to them. Furong had roughly guessed the two's cultivation levels, and kept her lips tightly closed, remaining silent and worried. She was afraid that if she made a sound, it would affect Yue Qianchou.
Hearing the whooshing sound from below, Yue Qianchou glanced over, then swiftly moved his sword to dodge the pursuing flying sword, narrowly avoiding it. A strong gust of wind nearly blew him off his sword. This was the consequence of a significant difference in cultivation levels.
Having just narrowly escaped an attack, he discovered the direction he had dodged. Guan Zhongkai, dressed in black robes, had been waiting ahead for some time. With a cold smile, he casually snatched the flying sword that had come around the corner, unleashed a massive sword aura, and slashed down on him.
"Damn it!" Yue Qianchou was startled and quickly dodged again, the transparent sword energy grazing past him once more. But no matter which direction he dodged, Guan Zhongkai could always block his way in time, relentlessly pursuing him with his sword strikes, leaving Yue Qianchou narrowly escaping each time. To onlookers, Guan Zhongkai looked like a cat playing with a mouse.
His opponent didn't give him a chance to release the dense fog; even a brief release was ineffective. Without a word, his sleeves flashed with azure light, and instantly countless flying swords swirled around him to protect him. At the same time, hundreds of swords were launched in a flanking attack on Guan Zhongkai, hoping to buy himself some breathing room.
It did have some effect. Guan Zhongkai swung his sword cautiously, as if swatting flies. After all, three Nascent Soul Realm had been inexplicably killed after being enveloped by these cyan flying swords. Hundreds of flying swords were constantly being deflected, only to swarm back again, just like flies.
Suddenly, another sharp whistle came from below. He glanced over and was startled again. It was Yu Landu, seeing him begin to counterattack, immediately pushed a ball of light the size of a washbasin into the air with both palms and shot it rapidly towards him.
"Holy crap! Kamehameha!" Yue Qianchou's eyes widened in shock, and he quickly dodged on his sword. Although he escaped, the flying swords behind him that hadn't managed to dodge in time suffered the consequences. "Boom!" In a loud explosion, the densely packed flying swords swirling in the air were blasted into pieces.
A powerful shockwave, like a heavy hammer, slammed into his back. The shockwave knocked him off the flying sword he was standing on. Yue Qianchou felt his vision blur, a sweet taste rise in his throat, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
In just a few moments, he was no match for them and was immediately injured. This was the result of a huge difference in cultivation level. Once the opponent came prepared, his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation was no match for them, and they easily dealt with him.
Furong immediately covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. Nong Zhu looked stern, but still comforted Furong telepathically, "Girl, it's alright, this kid won't die so easily."
Wen Rui's expression was also somewhat solemn. If Yue Qianchou really had a powerful background, and if he attracted an extraordinary person, things might get out of hand.
The cultivators from various countries watching the battle erupted in cheers, finally teaching this arrogant fellow a lesson.
Losing focus for a moment, the flying swords immediately went out of control and plummeted downwards. Guan Zhongkai, freed from the flies' harassment, his face darkened. He raised his sword, then thrust it out with a palm strike, sending it hurtling towards the falling Yue Qianchou like a thunderbolt.
Yu Landu teleported to the other side in an instant. Another ball of light was launched, joining Guan Zhongkai's flying sword in a pincer attack. Judging from their expressions, they were prepared to finish the job in one fell swoop.
Yue Qianchou coughed up a mouthful of blood, his chest felt lighter, and his vision cleared. He quickly glanced around, and an uncontrollable surge of anger erupted within him: How dare they hit me!
"Ah..." Yue Qianchou roared to the sky, and all the azure fire element stored in his body erupted instantly, leaving none behind...
A torrent of blue flames erupted like an explosion, causing Guan Zhongkai and Yu Landu's pupils to contract sharply. The flames hadn't even arrived yet, but the unparalleled heat had already hit them first. The two suddenly felt as if they had stirred up a hornet's nest. Without a word, they quickly turned around and unleashed their fastest flight speeds ever, but it still wasn't enough. They repeatedly teleported, expending a great deal of their cultivation to escape.
Previously, even hiding within his protective Gang Qi, Chu Dingfang couldn't withstand the intense heat of the azure flames and had to flee quickly. The two others, whose cultivation levels were similar to his, immediately recognized its power and, without needing to test it further, prioritized escaping for their lives.
At first, the two thought that the blue flames hidden on Yue Qianchou's body were just the same as those released before, and that it wouldn't be difficult to avoid them. Who knew there were so many? Was he even human? How could a person hide so many flames?
The two men were so angry they wanted to curse. How could they have run into such a monster? They were having a great time just now, almost killing the kid, and now they were being forced to run for their lives. They should have known better than to get involved.
The ball of light released by Yu Landu was directly burned to pieces by the green fire when it was still nearly a hundred meters away from Yue Qianchou. It exploded with a loud bang, but it only caused a ripple in the sea of fire and had no effect on Yue Qianchou.
Needless to say, the flying sword released by Guan Zhongkai melted into liquid in the sea of fire. Guan Zhongkai, who was connected to the flying sword, felt a pang of heartache; that flying sword was a top-grade Law Treasure given to him by his master!
The thousands of scattered cyan flying swords soared into the sky and merged into the cyan sea of fire, causing the terrifying, writhing sea of fire to grow even larger...
After escaping for more than ten miles, Guan Zhongkai and Yu Landu finally escaped the pursuit of the blue flames. The two stood at opposite ends of the sea of fire, not looking at each other, but their feelings were completely the same.
The two were nearly exhausted. With their cultivation levels, they could only teleport five or six hundred meters at most per teleportation. Furthermore, teleportation consumed too much cultivation energy, making it Method Formula that couldn't be used repeatedly in succession. Using teleportation more than ten times in a row was far beyond their capacity; they were utterly exhausted.
When the two turned around to look, they were filled with regret. It turned out that escaping to the sky or the ground was fine; the fire was chasing them horizontally. But then they thought again, and weren't so sure. What if the other side could control the flames to chase them vertically? That was quite possible.
A scene that would be unforgettable for everyone appeared in the sky: blue flames, blue flames filling the sky, blotting out the sun. The sky for miles around was completely covered by the blue flames. The flickering blue light illuminated the surrounding area, and even the distant Dayang City was alarmed. Some people climbed onto rooftops, while many others rushed out of the city to gaze at the spectacular sight in the distance...
Below, amidst the blazing blue flames, those with lower cultivation levels among the spectators were nearing their breaking point. Although the blue flames were about a hundred meters above them, how could they possibly endure such relentless heat?
