The Heroes of the Realm? Fleeing Like Wolves and Scattering Like Pigs!

In the mountains and forests.

Mo Shougui, covered in blood, stumbled and rushed out from the depths of the mountains.

The sound of the Coming Dragon River could already be heard ahead.

If he could escape into the Coming Dragon River to conceal his whereabouts, he might still have a glimmer of hope.

The three-day escape felt like three years, leaving him utterly exhausted. He had lost count of how many times he had been ambushed, how many routes he had taken, and how many times he had received help.

Of the top twenty Grandmaster on the Earth Ranking alone, almost all of them appeared, except for the Sword Immortal Qingyang went overseas and Xiao Runyu, who ranked fifth on the Earth Ranking.

The two sides clashed back and forth, the righteous path and the demonic Aristocratic Clan clashed, and the aristocratic families and sects fought each other. Just as he had guessed, this struggle was no longer just about defending the Human Ranking, but also a war between the Daoist and Buddhist sects and the aristocratic families of the Great Yuan and the Divine Capital!

Even the Shangqing Mountain lineage, which had never interfered in matters down in the mountains, joined the war.

So far, two Highest Purity Sword Masters have joined the battlefield to hold back the powerful Immortal Dao from the Divine Capital Aristocratic Clan.

The powerful figures from all sides have entered the arena one after another.

A day ago, Mo Shougui encountered Master Tantai Yinghu Leader Zhao. The old man once again advised him not to struggle and to return to Divine Capital with him, where there was still a glimmer of hope.

But Mo Shougui knew there was no turning back.

Neither Daoism nor Buddhism will allow him to surrender so easily!

As he had predicted, Master Tantai was stopped again, and the one who made the move was none other than the Xuanqi Daoist, who was ranked second on the Earth Ranking and was known as the number one Daoist Xuanqi.

Under his cover, he fled again, gritting his teeth as he tried to enter the territory of the Nanhua Sect, but was repeatedly intercepted by experts from the Divine Capital Aristocratic Clan, forcing him to take a detour.

At this moment.

Hearing the sound of the river waves coming from ahead, Mo Shougui suddenly stopped.

The surface of the Coming Dragon River stretched out a hundred meters away, vast and mighty, shrouded in a light mist.

Only one hundred meters left----

But Mo Shougui suddenly stopped, his expression extremely complicated.

Having reached this point, how could he not guess that every step he took was probably under the control of the Great Primordial Spirit?

There must be someone behind him who is proficient in Heavenly Secrets Technique, constantly monitoring his movements and setting up an ambush long ago.

Just like the river surface right now.

It's too quiet.

Not a single waterbird could be seen, only the sound of the river's waves.

If he wasn't mistaken, the entire river surface, spanning dozens of miles, would have already been blocked off.

"Brother Mo."

A voice came from the middle of the river, unhurried yet exploding in his ears like thunder.

In the thin mist, a figure stands on a small boat in the Coming Dragon River.

The newcomer appeared to be in his early thirties, with a handsome face, and was dressed in a moon-white robe from the Jixia Academy.

"Xiao Rong ----"

Mo Shougui a deep breath and said, word by word.

This person came from a collateral branch of the Xiao Household. Instead of practicing the Heavenly Secrets Technique passed down by the Xiao Household, he entered the Jixia Academy and became the person who was his equal in the previous generation. The two had several confrontations, and he won every time.

He appeared here----

This likely means not only that the Jixia Academy has sided with the Divine Capital, but also that this pursuit has come to an end.

Looking at his disheveled former enemy, Xiao Rong said coldly, "Brother Mo, I advised you before, but unfortunately you still chose this path."

Mo Shougui snorted coldly. He had already seen his end, but he had no intention of showing any signs of fatigue or weakness, lest the other party become complacent.

"It seems the Jixia Academy has long since sided with the Divine Capital; no wonder they're focusing on training you."

Xiao Rong said calmly, "This is the inevitable trend. The Academy saw this long ago, but the Star Palace has been reluctant to change. I don't know if it's ignorance or simply that they can't see it. The dispute between our two families over the Heavenly Secrets Technique can now be put to rest."

Mo Shougui laughed heartily, still displaying the domineering style he once had overwhelmed the Jixia Academy, even though he was trapped in a deadly situation, which made Xiao Rong's gaze deepen.

"That's a complete joke!"

"The Heavenly Secrets Technique divination is about contending with heaven and earth, wrestling with predetermined fate; it is never a shortcut to currying favor with the strong!"

"Your Jixia Academy has long lost the True Intention of the Heavenly Secrets Technique, which is why for the past hundred years, generation after generation has been filled with incompetent fools!"

Xiao Rong's expression remained unchanged; he simply said, "After three days on the run, Brother Mo, you still seem to be in good spirits."

Mo Shougui smile, "I have a habit of not being able to stand incompetent people."

"A sharp-tongued person."

As soon as the six words were uttered, Mo Shougui aura. A metallic taste rose in his throat, but he forcibly swallowed it back.

He struggled to look up.

A figure emerged from the Void.

The newcomer was about fifty years old, yet he possessed a profound and imposing presence, as deep and unfathomable as the ocean, and wore a brocade robe representing the Commander-in-Chief of the Gold-Wielding Guard.

He stepped forward in the air, and with just one step falling, the energy of heaven and earth within a radius of dozens of miles were as respectful as servants, and even the sound of the waves coming from the Longjiang River was a little lower.

Mo Shougui knelt on the ground, his bones creaking under the pressure of the other's aura, as if a mountain was pressing down on his spine, forcing him to bow his head.

He gritted his teeth and managed to say, "Jiang----Lin----Fan----"

The fourth-ranked member of the Earth Ranking is the strongest member of the Jiang Household besides Jiang Wenxuan, and he has now taken over Feng Xu's position as the commander of the Great Yuan Gold-Wielding Guard.

"Brother Mo."

Xiao Rong said calmly, "Actually, we had already laid a trap for you the very first day you left the Star Palace. If we could have captured you so easily, do you know why we let you escape for three days?"

"Because His Majesty wants to use Brother Mo as bait to see if he can catch a big fish, and to see which other factions in the world are trying to oppose the Great Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Mo Shougui's heart sank, as this was also his biggest worry.

This means that the person behind the Great Yuan Dynasty is not afraid to break ties with both Daoism and Buddhism, and has enough confidence to eliminate all enemies!

"How vast is the universe, how many living beings are there, yet how many can attain the position of Dao Lord?" Xiao Rong said with pity in his eyes, "Throughout the millennia of the Mortal Realm, only the Dao Lord remains immortal."

"Why would the Star Palace antagonize His Majesty? How unwise!"

Mo Shougui's mouth reeked of blood, yet he still grinned maliciously, "The way you put it, I thought your Laozi had reached the level of the Human Emperor back then!"

Before he finished speaking, the mountain-like aura suddenly sank again, making his internal organs feel as if they were about to shatter.

Jiang Linfan stood with his hands behind his back in the air, looking down at him with eyes devoid of sorrow or joy, as if he were merely looking at a dying ant.

"The Human Emperor?" Jiang Linfan said coldly, "Mo Shougui, are you aware that the title 'Human Emperor ' will become a taboo within the Great Yuan Dynasty?"

"A taboo?" Mo Shougui stunned for a moment, then his expression turned ferocious as he said, "You actually dare to attempt to label the Human Emperor a taboo?! You..."

These traitors of the Human Race

Jiang Linfan a step forward, and Mo Shougui was pressed firmly to the ground by the overwhelming aura, his voice abruptly cut off.

"You've only survived this long thanks to His Majesty's benevolence, yet you dare to speak so disrespectfully?"

Jiang Linfan withdrew his gaze, looked at Xiao Rong, and said coldly, "Kill him, and bring the Human Ranking back to the Divine Capital."

Xiao Rong shook his head and said, "This person's role has not yet been fully realized. The royal decree is to use this person to lure out the rebels from across the land, and then to kill off another wave of powerful figures who have been brought in."

Jiang Linfan's gaze, sharp as a knife, fell upon Xiao Rong's face, and he coldly asked, "The royal family? Is this Tianshun's will, or His Majesty's will?"

Xiao Rong remained silent, knowing that the Jiang Household harbored resentment towards the current "royal family" and was unwilling to get involved.

Seeing Xiao Rong lower his head and remain silent, Jiang Linfan snorted coldly and withdrew the aura that had been pressing down on Mo Shougui. Any later, and this boy would have been crushed to death by his aura.

He turned around, put his hands behind his back, and looked towards the direction of the Divine Capital. The mist on the Coming Dragon River was drawn by him and slowly parted to both sides like a curtain.

Who is the royal family trying to hook?

Xiao Rong cupped his hands slightly. "Feng Xu, this person seems to have guessed our intentions, and has not shown himself for the past three days."

He harbors many secrets, and the royal family wants to capture him alive.

Jiang Linfan glanced around and said calmly, "It seems I'll have to disappoint you; this person still doesn't dare to show himself."

Xiao Rong smiled slightly and said, "Right now, all the powerful experts that each family can offer have been restrained by us, leaving very few. Unless they abandon their Mo Shougui, sending any Grandmaster will be a sure win."

Jiang Linfan knew that the forces mobilized by both Daoism and Buddhism this time were considerable, amounting to their entire strength.

Even though they were prepared and mobilized some of the resources within their blessed lands, they could only restrain each other.

"I hope Feng Xu really has the courage to come here."

Jiang Linfan slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the "big fish" to take the bait.

Mo Shougui lay sprawled on the ground, most of his bones shattered, a bitter smile on his face. He could only pray that Senior Feng and the others wouldn't step into the trap here.

Soon, several figures arrived through the air. After recognizing them, Mo Shougui didn't know whether to feel fortunate or despair.

Fortunately, the visitors were not Senior Feng or others, but powerful figures belonging to the Great Yuan, among whom was Tantai Yinghu.

Tantai Yinghu frowned as he looked at Mo Shougui, who was barely breathing. He was about to speak when Jiang Linfan interrupted him indifferently, "Old man, don't meddle in things you shouldn't."

Tantai Yinghu's eyes were deep and unfathomable. Since that person's birth, the Jiang Household's confidence had increased dramatically.

A blood-red figure asked in a hoarse voice, "Why haven't you made a move yet?"

Upon seeing Shen Jie of the Blood River Dao reappear, Mo Shougui a chill in his heart.

As expected Great Yuan Dynasty joined forces with the Six Paths of Evil and Demons.

Two Grandmaster and several Quasi-Grandmaster have already appeared in the arena.

There were experts from prestigious Aristocratic Clan, as well as powerful figures from the Six Paths of Evil and Demons. Although they were allies, the atmosphere between them was not harmonious, and their patience was clearly wearing thin.

"Xiao Rong, how long are we going to wait?"

Jiang Linfan said impatiently, "Instead of waiting, let's take the initiative and wipe out Liaokong men."

Shen Jie's gaze fell on Mo Shougui, and he said coldly, "I've heard that this man has some connection with Yu Tunzhou. How about I handle him?"

Jiang Linfan scoffed, "Then you'll have to ask this tiger."

Tantai Yinghu remained expressionless. Although he appreciated Mo Shougui, he would not let it affect his Lineage.

Mo Shougui grinned and said, "Laozi 'll be waiting for you bunch of ungrateful bastards down there."

"Stubborn to the end." Jiang Linfan suddenly changed his mind. "Shen Jie, this man is yours to deal with in the Blood River Dao Sect."

Shen Jie said with a sinister smile, "Rest assured, everyone, I will certainly treat this person well."

Xiao Rong spoke, his tone indifferent. "Brother Mo, it seems those people have given up on you. Your death, as we predicted, will come today—"

Suddenly.

Tantai Yinghu and Jiang Linfan looked north at the same time.

"They're here!"

At that very moment, an aura, like a raging torrent, swept across thousands of miles from the northern horizon, carrying an overbearing arrogance that looked down upon all heroes under heaven, and hurtled straight towards them!

Everyone present changed color at the same time.

"Who?!"

Even dozens of miles away, the aura had already caused towering waves to rise on the river, and the forests on both banks to sway violently.

Xiao Rong's eyes burned with fervor, his heart filled with joy. This person was none of those they were monitoring; indeed, there were still powerful figures hidden within the Daoist and Buddhist sects!

We caught a big fish this time!

By capturing this person, I can establish relations with the royal family.

Xiao Rong's expression suddenly changed slightly, sensing something was amiss.

The surrounding mountains and forests, stretching for dozens of miles, had long been sealed off by a powerful formation, yet the newcomer's feet roamed as if he were in an empty place.

No restriction could slow down that person's speed!

Both Tantai Yinghu and Jiang Linfan seemed to be facing a formidable enemy at this moment!

Just as Xiao Rong began to have doubts.

A figure had already traversed more than ten miles, brazenly entering their field of vision.

At the edge of the sky, the approaching figure exuded an aura of overwhelming power, his robes fluttering like a soaring Heavenly Peng.

He stepped forward, his weight pressing down on everyone's hearts and minds. In a daze, it was as if some of them saw a towering mountain collapse, their hearts trembling and shaking.

Upon realizing what was happening, everyone, including Jiang Linfan, had a change in expression.

This person was able to suppress them and make them want to retreat simply by exerting their Fist Intent and energy!

When did the Central Plains produce such an invincible powerhouse?!

"I, Yu, will see if that cold, domineering voice can still shake the heavens and earth," he declared, "And who can touch him today?"

"Boom"

The entire Coming Dragon River boiled at that moment, its waves crashing against the shore, churning up thousands of piles of snow at the feet of the man in the green robe.

"Yu Tunzhou ----"

Shen Jie practically spat out those three words through clenched teeth, his whole body trembling, his eyes filled with madness.

Xiao Rong was shocked. How could it be him?

This—this was not part of their calculations at all!

Jiang Linfan's face was ashen. He took a step forward, his powerful aura rising as he attempted to confront Yu Tunzhou. He shouted sharply, "Yu Tunzhou, why aren't you staying in the Northern Plains? Do you really want to wade into this mess?"

Yu Tunzhou did not answer him, his gaze sweeping across the room.

They were all prominent figures on the Earth Ranking, and their identities were easily recognizable.

He said with a half-smile, "The Jiang Household and the Tantai Household have both sent people, but what about the Xiao Household? Xiao Runyu died, and Xiao Household has no one left?"

Xiao Rong's face flushed red, then turned ashen.

Their Xiao Household's Xiao Runyu ranked fifth on the Earth Ranking—

He died in Northern Plains!

Suddenly, his face turned from ashen to pale.

Because of that person's gaze----

It landed on him!

Yu Tunzhou recognized Xiao Rong's distinctive robes and asked with interest, "Are you from the Jixia Academy?"

"I, Yu, ask you, where do I rank on the current Earth Ranking?"

Xiao Rong calmed himself down, snorted coldly, and was about to respond when he suddenly noticed something.

When Yu Tunzhou spoke, whether it was the capricious Shen Jie and his group, or the arrogant Jiang Linfan, despite their overwhelming numerical advantage, they all remained silent—

Quiet.

This doesn't make sense!

Especially Shen Jie of the Blood River Dao, who had long wished to devour his flesh and blood, even though he knew he was no match for him, he wasn't the only one on their side. Dealing with a rising star ranked 20th on the Earth Ranking should have been a sure thing for them.

And right there on the side.

Mo Shougui stood there, dumbfounded.

He never expected this.

The one who's coming to the rescue today will be Yu Tunzhou!

His eyes suddenly widened in terror.

They shouldn't have come, they shouldn't have come----

The one behind the scenes of the Great Yuan must have already foreseen the arrival of Yu Tunzhou!

Everything is fate!

Everything is under that person's control!

With his last breath, Mo Shougui suddenly shouted, "Go! Go quickly! Don't try to save me—"

His voice abruptly stopped.

The man in the green robe suddenly lunged out, his fist sweeping across the sky like a roc soaring through the wind, its force extremely heavy and domineering.

Boom!

The entire Coming Dragon River was cut off by the fist, the river water was split in two by the fist, exposing the rugged riverbed underground, and the water walls on both sides were more than a hundred feet high, standing like cliffs!

Jiang Linfan dodged the punch by sidestepping, was greatly shocked.

There were no profound principles or laws in that punch just now; it was simply in harmony with heaven and earth, Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person.

But when it comes to the Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person, once you enter the External Scenery, who isn't in Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person?!

But why did this punch make his heart pound and cause him to instinctively dodge?

"It has been three months since I dealt with Xue Wuya. How incompetent Jixia Academy that they allowed a bunch of good-for-nothings to rank ahead of me."

A sigh came from ahead.

Yu Tunzhou withdrew his fist, seemingly throwing it casually, but the unrestrained and arrogant manner that swept over everyone stung their eyes and deepened their fear and suspicion.

Jiang Linfan's face darkened. Unwilling to show weakness, his aura surged, like an inverted abyss, and he rebuked, "Yu Tunzhou, do you really think you're invincible?"

The man in the blue robe glanced sideways, his gaze returning to him, and smiled slightly, "If it's not me, then could it be you?"

The words were finished.

His punch, just like before, contained no mystery or supernatural power.

However, in everyone's perception, subtle changes had occurred in the surrounding world. All laws and all primordial energy were in a state of chaos, making it impossible for them to communicate with or control the power of the surrounding laws and energy by even one-tenth!

Under such circumstances, their Divine Ability and might would decrease by more than 10% or 20%!

Facing Yu Tunzhou again, Jiang Linfan finally realized one thing: this punch was unstoppable!

He gritted his teeth and roared, his body suddenly swelled several times its original size, and he punched out. His fist was dark and deep, surrounded by a vast, boundless ocean, and his aura was boundless and powerful, carrying immense force as he met Yu Tunzhou's fist.

He didn't believe this kid was so strong that he couldn't even block a single punch!

The air currents exploded, plunging the world into darkness, and the surrounding mountains and forests shook violently.

Jiang Linfan's spine cracked, his head tilted back, and a metallic sweetness filled his mouth in an instant.

"Impossible!"

"You----"

He took several steps back, his voice filled with disbelief.

Yu Tunzhou's second punch came crashing down, Fist Intent domineering force like the master of heaven and earth, leaving him no room to retreat. He could only grit his teeth and meet it head-on once more.

But this punch seemed to come from the heavens and earth, making it impossible for anyone to withstand it head-on!

Boom!

Jiang Linfan was sent flying backward, his right arm, which had been used to force the attack, was twisted, and his muscles and bones groaned repeatedly!

He actually failed to withstand the boy's second punch!

Tantai Yinghu's eyelids twitched, his expression extremely grave.

At first glance, this young man's style of boxing seems very similar to the Old Wang's style of "borrowing heaven and earth as his fist," but upon closer inspection, it is completely different, even the opposite.

And this boy's strength----

He couldn't help but glance at Xiao Rong.

Is the big fish the royal family is trying to catch the Yu Tunzhou?

They should have been prepared long ago!

Amidst the deafening roar of their fists clashing, Xiao Rong felt his hearing temporarily fail him, witnessing firsthand how Jiang Linfan, ranked fourth on the Earth Ranking, was severely injured by Yu Tunzhou's two punches.

"This----"

"How is this possible?!"

"Could he really have killed Xue Wuya?!"

Xiao Rong trembled all over, confirming once again that today's events had exceeded expectations and were beyond his control!

Suddenly, everyone was startled to realize that a powerful and terrifying aura was staring at them.

Their origin lies in that figure in green robes, who is both godlike and demonic.

"Aren't you all coming at me together?"

Having said that, without waiting for anyone's response, he took the first step forward, his aura domineering and fierce, his fist striking Bajiquan, as if he wanted to meet the enemy at the same time!

Xiao Rong suppressed the shock in his heart, gripped the token in his palm, and an ancient seal phantom floated above him, faintly resonating with the surrounding mountains and forests for dozens of miles.

"Attack together!" he shouted sternly.

They had already set up a grand formation to empower themselves. Now that the formation was activated, it transformed all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within dozens of miles around into their own power, empowering Tantai Yinghu and the others.

This not only empowers one's own strong members but also restricts the opponent!

In an instant, everyone's aura surged.

"Good timing!"

Yu Tunzhou laughed loudly, completely unafraid, only showing his arrogant disdain for the heroes present.

With one step, the entire world seemed to shake.

In an instant, he faced off against the solemn-looking Tantai Yinghu, whose Fist Intent surged forth, using heaven and earth as his fist. The two fists collided as if two mountains were violently colliding.

Tantai Yinghu groaned, understanding Jiang Linfan's feelings.

All laws and principles were suppressed, yet this child's physical body was ridiculously powerful!

As Grandmaster, their inner Gang Qi, Inner View, and Primordial Spirit had long since merged with their physical bodies, becoming one with them. Every move they made possessed the power to destroy mountains and cities, yet they were still far from being able to defeat them!

This is... the Body of Immortals and Gods!!

With a single punch, Yu Tunzhou knocked back Tantai Yinghu. Suddenly, he turned around, his fist collapsing into the Void, concealing a figure attempting a sneak attack. In an instant, the figure turned into a cloud of blood mist!

This scene sent a chill down Xiao Rong's spine.

A Quasi-Grandmaster on the External Scenery Fourth Layer ----

He couldn't even withstand a single punch and died on the spot!

This is not at all the combat power of Grandmaster, but rather—

Dharma Aspect!

"Yu Tunzhou!"

A roar resounded through the heavens and earth as Jiang Linfan attacked again, his aura surging several times over in some unknown way, unleashing a palm strike.

The palm print blotted out the sky, like a continent collapsing down, carrying endless Immortal Dao pressure, threatening to crush the man in the green robe completely.

Yu Tunzhou laughed loudly, "That's more like it! Just one punch to meet it."

The voice of indifference echoed through the heavens and earth, silencing everything in its path.

"Not enough."

In an instant, the Void collapsed, and the vast and boundless palm force was completely obliterated by a single punch, causing the world to lose its color.

Jiang Linfan plummeted into the river like a kite with a broken string, sending up a towering column of water.

Several figures shot out in all directions, the leader of whom was none other than Shen Jie. He was so frightened that he fled in panic before he even made a move.

Only Yu Tunzhou remained standing in the arena, his hands behind his back, his blue robe fluttering in the wind, his aura surging like oil being poured into a raging fire.

In just ten breaths, Jiang Linfan was completely defeated. The other Quasi-Grandmaster were either dead or fled. Even Tantai Yinghu, with a look of apprehension, kept his distance from the two and was unwilling to step forward easily.

This child can already be considered a Dharma Aspect level fighter!

Yu Tunzhou's gaze swept over the several figures fleeing in panic, and he spoke calmly, his words carrying for miles around. "Is the Great Primordial Spirit Capital only home to such cowardly creatures as you?"

"The reputation of the Divine Capital is disappointing."

There was no other sound in the world.

Only that overwhelming Fist Intent filled the heavens and earth.

They blotted out the sky and roamed freely.
