The Eternal Suprem - Chapter 93

The few people running over from the distance were stunned as well, and there was one more thing that made their hearts sink—the power that exploded from the ape was almost as strong as a Martial King.

“The demonization pill! I can’t believe he had a demonization pill!”

Luo Yunshang understood at once. She was born in Shenxiao Temple, and her Master had told her almost everything about the world.

The demonization pill was a very powerful and special pill, which required the blood and soul of a demon beast to be refined. Once consumed, it could turn an ordinary man into a demon beast and temporarily grant him the power of the demon beast.

But, such a medicinal pill had serious side effects, especially one that was higher than the consumer’s realm. Without being careful, it could kill a man by exploding the body. Normally, those who possessed demonization pills would deliberately strengthen their fleshly bodies, so that they could endure greater power. It was said that someone had once consumed a demonization pill refined with a ninth-tier demon beast during battle, and it catapulted him over two major realms and instantly granted him the strength of a Martial Sovereign.

“Haha! Power…I feel great power! Li Yunxiao, I can finally put an end to the dispute between us! With a hideous smile, the ape, or Li Yi, roared as he threw a huge palm at Yunxiao.

A dark cloud flashed over the sky, veiling the sun and casting a shadow into everyone’s hearts as they looked at each other in astonishment. It was a full-force attack of a Martial King. Under the palm, the air compressed and squeaked, the noise so sharp and loud that it made everyone’s ears hurt.

“Indeed, it’s time to put an end to this.” Yunxiao said indifferently with a calm face. He stared at his opponent with a look that seemed to come from the past in his eyes, as serene as the sky and as deep as the ocean, seemingly capable of encompassing everything in the world.

Suddenly, his body glowed with lights of four different colors, and Primordial Qi of four different colors—blue, red, white, and black—drifted from all directions and gathered in his palms, swirling and gleaming beautifully. For a moment, the energy in the surrounding void seemed to be completely drained by him.

“What? The elements of the Four Quadrants? How’s that even possible?” Cang Liqun was shocked in the distance, his eyes staring woodenly and his jaw hung wide open. Those were clearly the energies of the Four Quadrants that only a Martial Lord could possess. Moreover, from their vivid and bright colors, as well as how they moved familiarly between Yunxiao’s finger, he could tell that the boy’s understanding of the energy was far greater than his.

He, too, had begun to discover the bizarreness of Yunxiao, and a vague fear was growing in his heart. He knew the boy would definitely become a major threat to him if he did not kill the latter today. But, as his eyes gleamed with killing intent, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing at him, which sent a chill down into his heart and made him shudder.

“What’s going on?” Cang Liqun felt that something was amiss. “Why is the wind suddenly kicking up?” And, even if the wind was kicking up, as a Martial Lord, he should not be feeling cold at all.

Suddenly, a strong wind was gusting over the field, and the clouds in the sky were shifting and rolling. It seemed that a storm was coming. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers looked up in amazement, wondering what force had caused such an unusual phenomenon.

“This…this is…” Luo Yunshang halted abruptly and looked into the distance in horror. Under the shifting clouds, she saw a proud and aloof figure hovering between the heaven and earth.

She was shocked, and her heart trembled with an unspeakable feeling that came from her soul. She felt like crying, and in the blink of an eye, tears began to trickle down her cheeks. For a moment, the proud figure in the distance completely overlapped with the man who came on clouds fifteen years ago.

A great wind came forth, the clouds rose on high!

The wind and clouds rose on high all because of me!

Yunxiao slowly floated up into the air, shrouded not only in wind and clouds, but also flickering light of four different colors which made him look like a mighty god descending from above.

His eyes were deep as the ocean and vast as the sky, trapping anyone who looked into them. With both hands, he lightly performed an incantation gesture, and a great force immediately came rushing over from all around him. Then, he gently lifted his right hand, and with the force of this part of the world gathered in the palm, he brought it down hard.

The wind gusted and the clouds shifted; in that instant, the heaven seemed to have crumbled and the earth shattered. Meanwhile, the surrounding air seemed to start burning, with balls of fire appearing here and there while the clouds in the sky compressed abruptly, all turning into the figures of that man. The whole sky seemed to have gathered under the wind and clouds before falling to the ground.

The army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, including the few Martial Lords, all had a feeling that the sky was collapsing and the earth shattering.

“Roar!”

In the face of the mighty force, Li Yi suddenly realized that the power he had felt so great just now was nothing. Under the wind pushed down by the palm, his hair stood on their ends, his skin began to crack, and his face was twisted in pain as he kept wailing.

Bam!

With a loud rumble, the power of the Four Quadrants crashed down and threw Li Yi to the ground. A tremendous force bounced back from the earth, and a blinding strong light burst forth from the center of collision, forcing everyone to close their eyes.

Yunxiao, on the other hand, was knocked flying away by the powerful counterforce, spinning uncontrollably in the air like a leaking balloon.

Ji Meng bolted out instantly, chasing after him.

Plumes of dust rose into the sky from where the Great Wind and Cloud Palm struck, obscuring everything within forty to fifty meters from all eyes. Meanwhile, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers felt the oppressing aura had finally faded away, and the sky was clear once again. However, the earth seemed to have been seriously damaged, and as the air was thick with dust, everyone was coughing violently.

“Are you all right, Yunxiao?”

Xiao Qingwang, Luo Yunshang, and Chen Dasheng finally arrived. Looking at Yunxiao, who was in Ji Meng’s arms, they breathed a sigh of relief. However, there was still a look of shock on their faces. The palm that shook the heaven and earth just now had deeply imprinted in their hearts, and it was very likely that they would never forget it for the rest of their lives.

Yunxiao’s face was extremely pale. The ten or so needles inserted in his body had all turned white, showing signs of breaking and no longer containing any energy. He glanced at the few people, then rested his eyes on Yunshang as he smiled and said, “Teacher Luo, why don’t you hold me in your arms? I think I will be fine if you do that.”

Yunshang’s face blushed. She wanted to scold him, but she suddenly had a strange feeling which caught her words in her mouth. After pausing for a brief moment, she said crossly, “Watch your mouth!”

Xiao Qingwang gave her a surprised look, and then a hint of a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Meanwhile, Chen Dasheng laughed. “Since you can still flirt with your teacher, it seems to me that you are fine.”

After saying that, his smile began to fade, and a murderous look gradually emerged on his face. He turned and looked at the Golden Lion Army, then said in a dark voice that sounded as if it was coming straight from hell, “Now that you are fine, it is their turn to taste my wrath.”

The dust kicked up by Yunxiao’s palm lingered in the air for a long time. By the time it finally settled down, everyone was horrified to find a big hole in the ground, which measured about ten meters wide. What was even more shocking was that there was a bloody body lying in it; but instead of Li Yi, it was Guang Yuanjia.

“What happened? I thought it was the ape who was hit by the palm? How did it become someone else?”

“Where is the ape? Did he run away?”

“I don’t think so. I saw him enveloped by the palm and fall to the ground. How could he get away?”

The crowd was still in shock when they thought of what just happened, and the big hole in the ground and Guang Yuanjia’s body astounded them further. Everyone was talking with one another, their faces incredulous.

Cang Liqun was stunned as well. He, too, had no idea how Li Yi escaped, and why it was Guang Yuanjia’s body in the hole. But, it was not the time for him to ponder over these questions, because a few terrible murderous airs had targeted him, and the cultivation base of each one of those people was stronger than his.

He swallowed hard; he knew he was in big trouble this time. Looking at the cold, gloomy faces of Chen Dasheng and the others, he felt his heart keep sinking.

The four hundred thousand soldiers of the Central Army marched across the land, and soon they were facing the Golden Lion Army. The atmosphere between them grew intense. However, the Central Army was high in morale while the men in the Golden Lion Army were pale after everything they had just gone through.

After taking a few medicinal pills, Yunxiao walked over with the help of Jia Rong.

The inside of him was completely destroyed. The needles had brought out all the potential in him, allowing him to have the power of a Martial Lord. But, the consequence was extremely serious. His meridians and flesh were almost ruined, and he was actually hanging on with his last bit of life force.

“Yunxiao, how do you want us to deal with this man?” Chen Dasheng asked in a deep voice.

Cang Liqun’s face flickered. He knew he was likely to suffer greatly today, but he still argued, “I’m the commander in chief of the Golden Lion Army, and I was tracking down the men who robbed the City Lord Mansion of Yangpu! You have no right to judge me!”

“We have no right?” Yunxiao smiled, his face pale. “Tell him what right do we have!”

Ji Meng’s eyes flashed with a trace of murderous air. He leaped forward in an instant, throwing a punch hard at Cang Liqun’s face.

Cang Liqun’s expression changed drastically, and he was about to resist when he suddenly felt that he was targeted by a killing intent from someone far stronger than him. At that moment, he saw Xiao Qingwang squint at him with his eyes gleaming coldly. He trembled with fear and did not dare to move anymore, but watched blankly as Ji Meng’s fist grew larger and larger in his eyes.

Bam!

The fist hit squarely in his face. He spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with teeth as the punch threw him away, leaving a trace for tens of meters on the ground. Then, with just a light kick at the ground, Ji Meng flashed over Cang Liqun in an instant and fell with his elbow pointed downward.

Bam!

The elbow struck Cang Liqun directly at the chest. It was so powerful that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and all his internal organs were seriously wounded. As a result, he spewed out a mouthful of blood mixed with bits of organs.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Ji Meng continued to beat him with punches and kicks. Each one of them struck at his vital spots, but the force came with it was carefully measured so that he would stay alive while suffering great pain.
