Old Xu had a complex expression as he tried to persuade Tang Luo, “Cousin, don’t be like this. What Ji Fu just said was only said in anger, why are you taking it so seriously?”
On one side was his dear kinsman, on the other was Ji Fu, a man he greatly admired from the Han Family. To see their conflict escalate to such a level troubled him deeply, for he knew that Tang Luo was not merely uttering empty words. His scheme aimed to eliminate the Han Family completely. The potential extermination of an entire clan because of an argument bothered him, and he could not simply stand by.
“Empty words? I didn’t hear anybody speaking,” said Tang Luo coldly. He was having none of Old Xu’s explanation. When the lives of his family members were at stake, he would not allow any possibility of danger to exist.
Old Xu knew that Tang Luo’s fury stemmed from Ji Fu’s provocations and threats, prompting him to continue persuading, “With my mastery of the Tongming Sword Body, my intentions can penetrate the unknown. Do you think I’m trying to fool you? Ji Fu was simply overwhelmed by anger and he spoke without thinking. What’s there to be mad about?”
After all, even before Tang Luo spoke, Old Xu had been impressed by the Han Family’s formidable power. With nearly eighty percent of their original holy land’s power restored, they were far superior to the Tang Clan. However, now it seemed their might wasn’t dictated solely by that.
He sighed, “Cousin, don’t be angry. Let’s discuss the ownership of the treasure vault. I believe Ji Fu is now willing to accept that the Boundary Breaking Stone is yours. There’s no need for you to drive someone to their death. That’s hundreds of thousands of lives we’re talking about!”
Old Xu gave Ji Fu a meaningful look, hoping he would say something to calm Tang Luo.
But Ji Fu was a warrior, a martial arts prodigy widely heralded as the future savior of the Han Family since his childhood. He had learned many things, but never how to back down.
The situation was such that while Tang Luo’s side had a war chariot and a representative from the Xu Clan, his side had five martial artists of the Fierce Realm!
All they had to do to secure this secret was kill Tang Luo,” thought Ji Fu in frightened desperation.
A silver-colored square halberd appeared in his hand. He was determined to break through this deadly predicament even if it meant destroying the Boundary Breaking Stone!
Old Xu, sensing Ji Fu’s murderous intent, moved to stand between the two of them, blocking Tang Luo’s view with his back. He earnestly said to Ji Fu, “Please, don’t!”
If Ji Fu could be persuaded, then there might still be room to turn the situation around.
Looking into Old Xu’s sincere eyes, Ji Fu responded with a complicated expression, “This concerns the survival of the Han Family. Your cousin is too dangerous. I have no choice but to resort to this!”
His intention to kill out of fear was undoubtedly a sign of cowardice, but considering his family’s safety, he had no other option.
Just like Tang Luo, Ji Fu too wouldn’t allow any risk of his clan’s extinction to exist in this world. Unfortunately for him, Tang Luo was too weak, yet he revealed something extremely dangerous.
The grim expression on Old Xu’s face indicated him sensing Ji Fu’s strong and determined killing intent, as if ready to lay his life on the line just to take an enemy down with him.
“Tongming enters the void, the holy body flexes its wishes! Sword, come forward!”
“Xuangjin Dragon Soul Armor!”
No matter how dangerous Tang Luo’s ideas are, he is still his brother. Old Xu can’t allow Ji Fu to slaughter him. His Tongming Sword Body was fully activated, holding the golden Emperor’s Void Phoenix sword in hand. His dragon pendant on his waist erupted in golden light, transforming into a huge golden dragon, roaring up to the sky.
“Cousin, you should get out of here quickly!” Old Xu urged. Since he knew the origins of Ji Fu, he understood that the five guards were of significant importance.
The Slaughter Immortal Army of the Han Family was organized in fives, known as a squad, with their combined attack formations. Traditionally, they were renowned as the number one combined attack formation a thousand years ago.
Confronting five strong individuals from the Fierce Realm with a combined attack formation, Old Xu had no confidence in holding them off for too long.
Seeing Old Xu’s moves, Ji Fu, with a halberd in hand and an emotionless face, shouted, “Form the formation!”
No matter how talented Old Xu was, being at the peak of the Mortal Realm was his greatest limitation. This meant that regardless of what divine weapon he held, the power he could unleash had its bounds.
Against the five soldiers of the Slaughter Immortal Army in the Fierce Realm formation, he stood no chance to win!
The five powerful individuals scattered around the valley corners, upon hearing Ji Fu’s call, started rushing towards him, creating five streaks of silver light.
Seeing the five Fierce Realm individuals about to assemble, Old Xu was inwardly anxious, as Tang Luo had not left. Instead, he was standing right beside him, watching the face-off between Ji Fu and the five Fierce Realm guards.
“The foolish will remain foolish. If I dare to speak these words openly, do you really think you can kill me?” Tang Luo’s face filled with mockery and amusement, laughed coldly at Ji Fu who was now like a trapped animal making a reckless last stand, “Don’t you find it strange, that the five people who came out of the auction house have become four?”
As soon as the words left Tang Luo’s mouth, Old Xu, with his sacred sword in hand, became still, recalling that when he was about to make a move in the auction house, Tang Luo stopped him and pulled Tang Xing to the side, whispering something to him. After that, his younger cousin left on his own.
“Could it be…” Old Xu suddenly lifted his head, his sharp senses drawn to the massive gathering of Spiritual Power high above them in the sky.
The sudden appearance of golden light pierced through the clouds, turning the midnight darkness over the valley into day. Only then did he see that there were to be exact, thirty powerful individuals hovering in the sky, looking expressionlessly down at the valley before swooping downwards.
As these individuals exploded with aura without any hesitation, the whole space seemed to freeze. More specifically, each of them was bursting with golden Spiritual Power. Their powerful spiritual presences felt tangible, pressing down heavily on the hearts of those in the valley.
Even Tang Siyuan, Tang Hongtao, and Tang Zhen unleashed their Combined Attack Technique towards the five Fierce Realm individuals forming a formation.
A gigantic golden palm that blotted out the sky and earth extended towards Ji Fu and his team, overwhelming them.
This stroke reminisced a mythical attack. It was no less than the Tang Clan’s strongest Combined Attack Technique -thus came Buddha!
Performed by three Fierce Realm martial artists with Spiritual Power exceeding sixty thousand points, this technique represented Buddha’s judgement upon mortal beings. Underneath the enormous palm, all living beings would be obliterated.
The five Slaughter Immortal Army warriors grouped together, faced the world-shattering golden palm, and exploded with their full strength. Their silvery light gathered together forming a large silver shield that rose towards the sky, moving to intercept the giant palm in the sky.
This massive silver shield, formed by the converging strength of the five, represented the Slaughter Immortal’s protection technique, the sternest defense within the battle formation, helping the Slaughter Immortal Army to escape countless life-threatening situations.
The clash between the silver shield and golden palm in mid-air resulted in the violent collision of golden and silver Spiritual Power. The Spiritual Power, combined with the wind pressure, transformed into a shockwave, and the golden and silver light spread outward, causing the earth and sky to tremble.
Yet, could the Buddha’s golden palm be blocked by a single silver shield? After the explosion, the giant golden palm, brimming with infinite domineering aura, pressed down on the shield and headed towards Ji Fu and the others in the valley.
It seemed that even the massive silver shield, condensed with the power of five individuals, could not withstand this formidable force!
“Boom!”
The world-ending golden palm finally landed, transforming into a golden shockwave. It shattered the silver shield and pounded on Ji Fu and his comrades. The rising colossal golden pillar pierced through the heavens.
Seeing the golden palm explode, Tang Luo smartly took cover behind Old Xu. After Buddha’s explosion, the remaining Spiritual Power shockwave was almost as powerful as an attack from a peak Mortal Realm martial artist.
As a young man who valued Spiritual Power, having a meat shield to protect him, was it necessary to take a hit by himself?
