We Martial Artists Roam the Jianghu, Breaking Prohibitions with Martial Might

The "Black Sun" escaped from Yu Tunzhou's control and went away.

His voice was as calm as the wind blowing across still water, but as the dark sun slowly pushed forward, an irresistible force of devouring swept across the world in an instant!

Yao Qingyan, who was blocking the two, felt his Qi and Blood, Gang Qi, and even Primordial Spirit being pulled by an irresistible force, as if they were about to gush out from his seven orifices and merge into that dark sun!

"What kind of Divine Ability is this?!" A huge wave of shock surged in his heart.

Soon, he was shocked to discover that the laws of the surrounding world were continuously flowing into the black hole, as if turning into fuel, making it increasingly irresistible, while creating a brief vacuum of laws around it.

This means that even if he intervenes, his Divine Ability power will be greatly reduced!

He wiped away the blood from his seven orifices caused by the backlash from the disappearance of the Spirit Aspect, and led Yao Chongshan and the other man away quickly.

"Elder! How can you retreat!" Yao Chongshan stared in disbelief at Yao Qingyan's retreating figure, his eyes reddening with anxiety. "This place is the ancestral home of my Yao Household for thousands of years!"

Yao Qingyan's expression was ashen, and without turning his head, he said, "Shut up if you don't want to die!"

The scene before him quickly provided Yao Chongshan with the answer—

Black Sun rose, there was no earth-shattering roar, yet everything in the distance—the stone steps, the corridors, the eaves of the warm pavilions, the floor tiles, the stone railings, the carvings on the window frames—was frantically drawn towards that dark sun at this moment!

The entire Yao Mansion seemed to have been ripped open from the middle by an invisible hand. The crack expanded outward from the dark sun as its center, swallowing up several feet of land, houses, beams, and corridors with every breath.

The ground of the Yao residence began to crack inch by inch, and countless bricks, stones and soil rose into the air, turning into torrents of gray-black water that flowed into the pure darkness.

Wherever the Black Sun passed, the ground was slashed away by three feet, and countless bricks, stones, and soil rose into the air, turning into torrents of gray-black water that flowed into the pure darkness.

The guards and clansmen of the Yao Household who rushed to the scene upon hearing the commotion were sucked into the dark sun and vanished into nothingness before they could even scream, leaving not a trace behind.

The west courtyard, east courtyard, front courtyard... large swathes of buildings in the Yao family mansion disappeared under the dark sun.

Yao Qingyan stared in disbelief, his eyes wide with fury and shock, but he was powerless to stop him.

This Divine Ability covers an area that is almost a forbidden law of heaven and earth. All laws and principles will only drive it to grow stronger, even if it is attacked by the enemy!

In this short period of time, he had already tried several times, but each time he tried, instead of extinguishing the all-consuming "Black Sun," it only made it grow stronger!

Such characteristics were simply inconceivable, reminding him of the methods used by highly skilled Dharma Aspect masters to tamper with and reverse the laws of heaven and earth.

Even powerful individuals who have established their Dharma Domain can achieve this, but due to the limitations of their Dharma Domain ' completeness, they are far from as relaxed and effortless as Yu Tunzhou is currently displaying!

Suddenly.

Yao Qingyan's expression changed drastically.

He only had time to wave his hand and throw Yao Chongshan and the other man away.

The next moment, the "Black Sun," which was still hundreds of feet away, seemed to swallow up the space between them and instantly appeared in front of him.

An unparalleled power of devouring surged forth, attempting to pull him into it.

Yao Qingyan instinctively tried to escape through the Void, but was horrified to find that even the surrounding Void had turned into "nothingness"!

What profound principles and laws are contained within this Divine Ability?!

He had no time to think; he was already standing on the edge of life and death.

With life and death hanging in the balance, Yao Qingyan held nothing back!

A vast, ancient, and profound aura suddenly emanated from him, forcibly awakening something that was not yet fully formed.

His clothes were torn to shreds, revealing ancient characters crisscrossing beneath his skin. The characters seemed to come alive, writhing and glowing wildly.

This is Ultimate Art he created by combining Ancient Method with the bloodline of immortals and Immortals and Gods, but it is not yet fully developed, and forcibly using it would require burning the essence of his bloodline.

For years, the Yao Household has been doing one thing: integrating the bloodline of Immortals and Gods of unknown origin into themselves, and this has already begun to show results in him.

At this moment.

The phantom of the white jade lion reappeared, much blurrier than before, but even larger, like a majestic mountain, slowly emerging from behind him.

The lion's outline was not clear, as if it were seen through a layer of mist, but even so, the heavy feeling of its aura allowed him to temporarily steady himself and not be pulled by the "Black Sun".

As the majestic lion's silhouette solidified, Yao Qingyan seemed to be rooted to the Void, his body motionless. The price he paid was that his face gradually paled, and the few strands of black hair at his temples turned white at a visible speed.

Roar!

A majestic and heavy lion's roar sounded behind him, yet it was strangely layered, as if ten thousand lions were roaring at the same time, shaking the heavens and earth and disturbing his Primordial Spirit.

"Um?!"

Within the Primordial Spirit Heaven and Earth, Huntian, who had been dozing, suddenly opened his eyes and looked out in surprise.

This aura feels so familiar, which fellow cultivator from the Demon Race is it?

Following the gaze of the Yu Tunzhou, it saw that within the outline of the white jade lion behind Yao Qingyan, more and more lion heads gradually appeared, eventually transforming into a lion with nine heads.

Nine Spirits Origin Sage?

When the ninth lion head emerged, this mountain-like lion seemed to step out from the Long River of Time, carrying layer upon layer of cosmic phantoms on its back, while being shrouded in nine divine halos, displaying its holiness and majesty.

Roar!

The nine-headed lion opened its enormous mouths, ready to devour the "Black Sun" before it!

The advance of "Black Sun" has encountered a significant slowdown for the first time, and the two sides are deadlocked.

This scene caught the eye of Yao Chongshan behind him, and he was immediately filled with joy, whispering:

"The clan elders once chose a demon immortal bloodline. According to incomplete ancient records, this demon immortal was named Nine Origins, and was most skilled at Tuntian and the earth, possessing the ability to swallow and expel the universe!"

Xiao Zheng's eyes gleamed with excitement, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is this the bloodline transplantation that the nobles are researching? I've heard that in the end, one can possess Bloodline Divine Ability like the Demon Race, and receive the blessing of ancestral power!"

The reason why the Demon Race is inherently stronger than the Human Race is because of this bloodline.

"Indeed!" Yao Chongshan stared intently ahead and said in a deep voice, "The elder's Divine Ability is not yet fully developed, but it is already comparable to Ultimate Art. This boy is definitely no match for him!"

Xiao Zheng nodded slightly, but her ominous premonition only intensified.

He stared at the "Black Sun" in front of him, full of doubt.

During this period of time, the Xiao Household had thoroughly investigated Yu Tunzhou, leaving no stone unturned in their investigation of all the fist techniques and Divine Ability he had ever displayed.

However, this Black Sun Divine Ability, which can devour heaven and earth, has never appeared in any records.

This Divine Ability clearly possesses the divine qualities of the Dharma Aspect level, but as for whether there is anything higher, he cannot discern it with his eyesight.

Devouring everything, resembling Black Sun...

What Dao Path has this child chosen?

Ahead.

Yao Qingyan's expression turned solemn. He suddenly took a step forward, and the enormous silhouette behind him, bearing multiple phantoms, slowly pressed down. Each lion's head opened its massive jaws, biting at the edge of the dark sun.

The suction force of the devouring force and the attraction of the dark sun itself emitted a dull hum the moment they came into contact, like two torrents rushing in opposite directions, colliding, tearing, and annihilating each other wildly in mid-air.

Seeing that this move was effective, a ruthless glint flashed in Yao Qingyan's eyes, and he took a second step.

The ninth lion head, which had been silent all along, suddenly lunged forward. As its massive jaws opened, a gale howled from all directions, swallowing the Black Sun, which was locked in a stalemate below, whole!

Yao Qingyan's figure swayed suddenly, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

Success!

But the next moment, his expression changed drastically.

The nine phantom lion images began to blur at the same instant!

Roar!

Amidst the layers of roaring fury, the nine-headed lion revealed a look of pain, its body like a sand sculpture being blown away by the wind. In just a few breaths, this majestic High Antiquity demon immortal phantom vanished into nothingness.

Fortunately, that "Black Sun" did not reappear.

Yao Qingyan let out a long breath, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

They managed to block it at last.

The "Black Sun" that had caused the entire city's light to collapse disappeared as the phantom of the nine-headed lion vanished, and the light in the world returned.

Sunlight filled Jade Lion City and also illuminated the devastated Yao Mansion.

The once magnificent mansion, which covered thousands of acres, now had a huge hollow in its core.

This scene made Yao Qingyan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, tense up again, and shock and anger echoed in her chest.

"You demonic cultivator! You demonic cultivator!!!"

Yao Chongshan in mid-air, trembling, looking down at the scene below that Mortal Realm a living hell. Thousands of years of foundation had vanished, and the remains of his clan members were nowhere to be found...

He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his expression contorted in rage, and he screamed hoarsely.

"Yu Tunzhou, you destroyed the foundation of my Yao Household, slaughtered my Yao Household members, your methods are so perverse and cruel, how are you any different from a demon?"

"How are you any different from the demonic path?!"

"This matter will not end here. We will announce it to the world, join forces with the righteous path, and condemn you, this wicked demon! The Yao Household will fight you to the death!"

A ferocious and furious roar echoed over Jade Lion City, indicating that the person was so enraged that they had lost their mind.

Yao Qingyan didn't speak, but his gaze was colder and deeper than Yao Chongshan's.

Outside the city.

Yu Tunzhou parted ways with Zhang Buyu before entering the city, leaving the latter outside the city.

Even now, though Zhang Buyu was hiding outside the city, he could still clearly hear the angry shouts coming from inside.

"What's the difference between you and the demonic path...?"

These roars and shouts were full of rage, but they could not conceal the deepest weakness and powerlessness beneath their fierce exterior.

Zhang Buyu thought to himself, "Brother Yu was right after all. Once the enemy has no way to deal with you, they will attack you on Dao and Virtue grounds!"

Unfortunately, Brother Yu seemed to have a wealth of experience, which was of no use to him at all.

Zhang Buyu gazed at the commotion in the city, somewhat lost in thought.

As Brother Yu initially said, this was merely an infiltration of the Yao Household to gather information and see if things were as they suspected.

It's unclear what he saw inside that caused such a conflict.

At this moment, Nan Guan, whose cultivation was sealed and who was tightly bound at his feet, suddenly spoke coldly:

"Yu Tunzhou is finished. Even if the Supreme Purity Lineage truly stands behind him, the Yao Household will hunt him down to the death!"

"This is no longer a conflict, but a war! Wars between the Aristocratic Clan are always ruthless and relentless! As long as he remains in the Eastern Wilderness, the Yao Household will use all its power and connections to surround and annihilate him!"

Yao Chongshan's roar still echoed over the ruins of the Yao Household, but it elicited no response whatsoever.

Yu Tunzhou remained calm, his robes spotless, as if the thousand-year-old mansion beneath his feet, now shredded three feet and utterly destroyed, had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, Yao Qingyan spoke, his voice ringing directly in his ear, not to be heard by anyone else, his tone low and cold:

"Yu Tunzhou, do you really think that destroying this Alchemy Chamber will stop the refining of Heavenly Origin Pill? Naïve! My Yao Household can build one Alchemy Chamber like this, and we can build a second one! You're only risking your own future!"

"You think you're the second Lu Huaiqing? Ridiculous! You're nothing but a madman who breaks the rules! My Yao Household's ancestors have saved countless people of the Eastern Wilderness. Now, we're merely sacrificing a few worthless lives to ensure peace for millions. This is the Heavenly Dao, this is righteousness, this is..."

In an instant.

Yao Qingyan's voice, filled with hostility, came to an abrupt halt.

Because Yu Tunzhou raised his hand for the third time tonight.

It was a clean, slender hand with distinct knuckles, as white Ruyu, unlike that of a martial artist.

However, the moment it lifted up, the light between heaven and earth began to distort and dim again.

The sky darkened at a visible speed.

Yao Qingyan's pupils shrank to pinpoints in that instant, and he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!

He attacked twice; the first time, his Spirit Aspect collapsed, causing him to bleed from all seven orifices.

The second forced use of the still-developing Nine Origins Divine Ability, while successfully resisting the Black Sun, also depleted his own essence and suffered the backlash of the termination of his Bloodline Divine Ability.

And this young man, who is merely at the Divine Ability Realm, still has energy to spare?!

He could use that near- Ultimate Art level of Divine Ability three times in a row?!

Yao Qingyan's hands hung at her sides, her fingertips trembling almost imperceptibly.

Yu Tunzhou finally spoke, his tone calm and even, echoing in the ears of the three, seemingly a rhetorical question, yet also a self-narration:

"We martial artists roam the martial world, often breaking the law with our skills. We've killed countless people—those who deserved to die, those who could be killed, and those who were wrongly killed."

Why get angry with the Yao Household family?

The moment he finished speaking, his hand fell again.

The moment the third "Black Sun" left his hand, the world fell silent.

The sunlight above Jade Lion City completely disappeared.

Yao Qingyan suddenly turned around and roared, "Go!"

Yao Chongshan and Xiao Zheng were violently shaken apart by a force, which pushed them backwards for hundreds of feet.

That was Yao Qingyan's final move.

It's not that he didn't want to leave, but that he simply couldn't get away!

The Black Sun had already locked the Void around him, even draining away the laws of heaven and earth. All escape techniques had lost their foundation within the ruins of the Yao Mansion at this moment!

He felt his own Qi and Blood, Gang Qi, Primordial Spirit, and even the Nine Spirits bloodline integrated into his blood being frantically pulled by that terrifying devouring force, as if he were being torn apart by five horses!

In his final moments, Yao Qingyan gave a bitter smile.

The Jade Lion Yao Household, with a history spanning thousands of years, had their ancestral homeland destroyed by a naive and arrogant young man who had just entered the world.

Heavenly Dao, the effects of one's karmic deeds are not evident; could this also be part of the cycle of retribution?

Yao Chongshan, who had been swept away into the distance, looked back but only saw the figure of the Qingyan clan elder disappear into the "Black Sun".

There were no screams, no struggles.

There was only deathly silence.

A moment later, the Black Sun dissipated, and sunlight once again illuminated the world.

Bathed in sunlight again, Yao Chongshan felt no warmth, only a deep-seated fear and hatred.

He scrambled and stumbled as he fled out of the city, never looking back, trying to escape and inform the other External Scenery of the Yao Household family.

Although this place is the Yao Household, even a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Moreover, the Yao Household has a history of thousands of years. As long as those elders are still alive, the Yao Household will not fall.

Once I spread the news, I will definitely announce it to the world, ruining Yu Tunzhou's reputation and completely condemning him to the demonic path, making him a pariah of the righteous sects...

Suddenly.

Yao Chongshan felt a sudden dizziness; the world, the city, and the distant mountains before him all seemed to spin upside down.

His thought process seemed to stagnate, slowing down more and more.

Until he saw his own body...

A headless corpse.

A figure in a blue robe slowly walked past him.

"Young Hero Yu, I am not a member of the Yao Household family!" Xiao Zheng, who was fleeing ahead, suppressed his fear and quickly spoke up to clarify that he was not related to the Yao family, and dared not claim to be a member of the Xiao Lineage.

However, the next moment...

A gust of wind from a punch swept past, instantly obliterating him.

Previously, in the underground Alchemy Chamber, Yu Tunzhou had already overheard this person's conversation with Yao Chongshan.

They are all worse than pigs and dogs.

With that, the matter here is settled.

The Yu Tunzhou and headed out of the city.

All three attacks, each involving the Swallow the Sun and Refine the Moon, resulted in near-total depletion for him.

This was also his first attempt to use this Divine Ability consecutively, and the form it took was different from before. It no longer transformed from a single line into a "dark sun" that swallowed everything and turned it into chaotic nothingness...

He returned to the outskirts of the city and met Zhang Buyu, then said apologetically, "Brother Zhang, I apologize. Things developed somewhat unexpectedly, which caused a delay."

Zhang Buyu hesitated and said, "Brother Yu, what about that External Scenery from the Yao Household just now...?"

"He's dead, of course." Yu Tunzhou chuckled, remembering something. "Speaking of which, of the six External Scenery in the Yao Household family, only one remained to guard the clan. It was a lucky accident; I managed to snag one."

Zhang Buyu smiled wryly, truly unable to respond to that remark.

Even if this "bargain" were right there, I doubt many people in the world would dare to take it.

Even Nan Guan, who was standing to the side, wisely kept quiet, his gaze towards Yu Tunzhou filled with complex emotions.

The person before me... is perhaps even more unscrupulous than Lu Huaiqing.

Yu Tunzhou looked at Nan Guan: "Tell me, where are the other gates?"

Nan Guan's pupils suddenly contracted:

"You're going to continue?!"

"What happened today will reach the ears External Scenery the rest of the Yao Household within two or three days at the latest!"

"When they come to ambush you, it won't just be the Yao Household's experts! With their connections and reputation, they could easily get half of the External Scenery experts in the Eastern Wilderness to take action!"

"Wouldn't that be perfect?" Yu Tunzhou said thoughtfully, "It would allow us to see clearly which Lineage were colluding with the Yao Household, making it easier to settle accounts afterward."

Looking towards the location of Floating Hill Mountain, he sighed, "The history of Floating Hill Mountain being relocated to the Eastern Wilderness teaches us a lesson: to eradicate evil—we must eradicate it completely."

Nan Guan opened his mouth wide, but was speechless for a moment.

In the past, the evil spirits of the Eastern Wilderness were so difficult to eradicate that Floating Hill Mountain relocated its entire sect to forever Eastern Wilderness...

Such a feat brought Yu Tunzhou such a completely opposite enlightenment?!

If they could truly be eradicated, why would the Floating Hill Mountain have had to relocate back then?

Zhang Buyu said with a wry smile, "Brother Yu, this man is right about one thing: the Yao Household really has the ability to hire a lot of External Scenery. Why don't you lay low for a while?"

"It's alright, we're not fighting alone." Yu Tunzhou turned and said, "Brother Zhang, we may have to part ways soon. It involves a war between multiple External Scenery, and I won't be able to protect you."

Zhang Buyu was startled. "Brother Yu, you..."

Is this person really going to fight against half of the Outer External Scenery experts in the Eastern Wilderness all by himself?!

"If I'm not mistaken, your Senior Brother Jin is doing something similar to what we're doing, and his position is even more important than ours, because his master is the mountain lord."

"If I attract and control the External Scenery from various companies, he should be able to do more things."

Zhang Buyu suppressed his emotions and said in a deep voice, "What do you want me to do?!"

"Didn't your Senior Brother Jin's letter ask me to escort you back to White Water Mountain? I'm afraid you'll have to make the journey yourself."

Zhang Buyu instantly Liaowu: "I get it! I will return to White Water Mountain as soon as possible!"

Yu Tunzhou nodded. "I'll take Nan Guan with me."

The two quickly reached an agreement and parted ways.

Watching Zhang Buyu's figure disappear into the mountains and forests, Yu Tunzhou looked Nan Guan and smiled, "Do you know what I'm going to do next?"

Nan Guan said expressionlessly, "If I were you, I would leave the Eastern Wilderness as quickly as possible and never set foot Eastern Wilderness again before becoming Grandmaster!"

"Brother Nan and I are indeed not on the same wavelength; he doesn't understand my thoughts at all."

Yu Tunzhou shook his head and said,

"Although I have destroyed the Yao Household's underground den of iniquity, I have not solved the fundamental problem. Therefore, I would like to trouble Brother Nan to tell me the specific locations of the other sects."

"I want to see for myself what's hidden behind these so-called 'gateways to the Immortal Realm '."

Nan Guan was startled, and his gaze towards Yu Tunzhou became more like that of someone looking at a madman.

"Are you planning to deal with the Yao Household's relentless pursuit while actively trying to infiltrate those powerful families?"

Long after the turmoil in the ruins of the Yao Household had subsided, the surviving disciples and followers dared to emerge from their hiding places, trembling, and fled frantically out of the city.

Other martial artists from Jade Lion City came one after another to inquire about the news, and they also saw that the Yao Household mansion, which had been passed down for thousands of years, had been razed to the ground today!

"They've gone mad... madness!"

"The Eastern Wilderness is truly about to change; someone actually dared to carry out an act of annihilation against the Yao Household!"

"Get out of here! Don't get involved! The rest of the Yao Household's External Scenery are going crazy!"

Amidst the restless and uneasy crowd, an inconspicuous man took a deep breath. He sensed the lingering power of the law in this world, and his heart was filled with indescribable fear.

He turned and strode away, passing through the bustling streets and alleys, until he arrived at a secluded hideout in the city. There, he found the middle-aged man waiting for him and spoke in a very low voice:

"Quickly send this message back to the sect. The Holy Maiden's prophecy landed in Jade Lion City. Taking advantage of the fact that only one of the six External Scenery of the Yao Household remained, Yu Tunzhou launched a ruthless attack, destroying the Yao Household land. The Divine Ability he displayed in this battle... seems to involve the Great Dao of Limitlessness!"

Three Autumns City.

In the past few days, under the deliberate guidance of his Uncle Mingxin, Jin Buxi has come into contact with the Immortals and Gods Portal and learned part of the truth.

However, Jin Buxi, like Yu Tunzhou, questioned the legitimacy of using Heavenly Origin Pill.

In his view, the so-called righteous application of demonic arts is nothing but self-deception.

The bottom line collapses completely through repeated concessions.

Just like now.

Daoist Mingxin slowly said, "Compared to thousands of years ago, the population of the Eastern Wilderness has increased more than tenfold. This is entirely due to the efforts of my Floating Hill Mountain. Now that Immortals and Gods are about to arrive, what is wrong with sacrificing a very small number of Immortals and Gods bloodlines?"

Jin Buxi coldly replied, "The changes in the Eastern Wilderness are the result of the joint efforts of the ancestors of Floating Hill Mountain and the people of the Eastern Wilderness. Even if we don't talk about the latter, just mentioning the ancestors of Floating Hill Mountain —when did their achievements become a reason for us, their descendants, to righteously demand things from the people of the Eastern Wilderness?"

"If the patriarchs of past generations were still alive, upon hearing these words, they would probably be unable to resist imprisoning them forever Heart-Questioning Cliff!"

"We do not deny that this is also a sin," Daoist Mingxin said calmly. "This is what we bear and shoulder. Sacrificing a very small number of people in the Eastern Wilderness to exchange for peace and stability in the Eastern Wilderness, all the sacrifices and sins incurred during this period will be borne by us."

Jin Buxi's gaze sharpened.

"It seems... you uncles had already made up your minds."

He slowly stood up, signifying that the "pretense" between them had been completely torn away.

Daoist Mingxin sighed softly, "Nephew Jin, your appearance actually represents Senior Brother Shouzheng's hesitation. We will prove to Shouzheng that this is the only way—"

"Furthermore, Junior Nephew Jin, you made a mistake. You shouldn't have dragged Yu Tunzhou and Junior Nephew Zhang into this. You did this..."

They're being harmed!
