"What kind of people were those? Their battle had actually reached this place?"
"So strong! With a casual movement, heaven and earth shattered—nothing could stop them. This... even Immortal Lords weren't this strong, were they?"
Seeing the two fighting figures, everyone froze, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"It's Nie Yun!"
Suddenly, one family head recognized one of the figures in battle and shouted aloud.
"Nie Yun? Ah... the other one is... is the Asura King!"
As Nie Yun was recognized, so too was his opponent. Every expert in Nine Heavens Palace stood with mouths agape and eyes nearly popping out, too astonished to speak.
Nie Yun was fighting the Asura King? And the battle was raging fiercely? What... was going on?
The Asura King's might had long been planted deep in everyone's hearts. Not long ago, Nie Yun had not even reached the Immortal Lord realm. Though he had encountered some fortuitous opportunities, his strength should still have been limited. How could he possibly fight the Asura King?
"No matter what, Nie Yun is human. We must help him fight the Asura King together. Is everyone ready? Form the formation!"
After the brief shock, Tantai Moyun stood up, battle intent blazing in his chest.
Although he had once had conflicts with Nie Yun, they had only been part of Ephemeral Old Man's instructions to temper the youth. There had never been any great enmity between them. Moreover, at a moment when life and death hung in the balance, even a grudge could be temporarily set aside.
Tantai Moyun gave the order, only to discover that everyone remained where they were, perfectly still.
"What? You all spoke so boldly just now, but now that you've truly encountered the Asura King, you don't dare fight?"
His face darkened as a nameless fire
