“Blood Cloud Palm!”
Chu Tianzhou raised storms and lightning, turning into layers of palms and trying to squash Ling Yanyu. The void was filled with a bloody dense mist.
The bloody palm was surging high into the sky, with majestic and powerful spirits that could conquer mountains and rivers. Ling Yanyu was frightened and stepped backwards. Even though he was trying to withstand the attack using his weapon, he could still hardly resist the bloody huge palm. He suffered a severe injury and was sent flying, shedding blood on the ground of the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect.
“Master!”
Ling Yun stepped backward and both of the Divine King Realm experts forced them to retreat. Ling Yun was facing a difficult situation at the same time.
“Yan Yu!”
Yang Le was astonished and surged forward immediately. However, Ling Yanyu held her back. If she intervened, she would only die miserably in the end.
“
Puff……”
Ling Yanyu was spurting blood wildly. Even though he was trying to keep his feet up, he was severely wounded at the moment. It was merely the first strike and he was already defeated. This showed the difference between both of their strengths.
“Just get over yourself, this is your ultimate fate. Since you insist on doing so, I have no choice but to eliminate the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect.”
Chu Tianzhou struck out again, the Blood Cloud Palm was transforming constantly which gave the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning a shock. It became uncertain if Ling Yanyu could survive after suffering the violent blow.
“Who allowed you to treat our Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect rudely?”
A deep howl echoed through the void. A blue shadow blotted out the sun and covered the sky. Even Chu Yunji was slightly startled, exclaiming in a deep voice.
“Who’s there?”
“How dare you ask who I am when you’re stirring up trouble in my Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect? Get lost!”
The blue shadow howled. It made Chu Tianzhou take a few steps backward, looking confused and terrified.
“Another Half-step Hierarch Realm expert!”
“Is he the ancestor of the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect?”
“It seems like the background of the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect is extraordinary and powerful after all.”
Most of them were on their tip toe at the moment. Ling Yanyu gave a hasty glance at the sky, there was astonishment and guilt in his eyes. He said in a low voice.
“I’m ashamed to see you.”
“No, it’s not your fault.”
The blue shadow said and shook his head.
“Ling Kuang… Senior!”
Chu Fangzhou said in a low voice, his face looked ghastly white at the moment. Even though he had broken through to the Half-step Hierarch Realm, Ling Kuang was way superior than him. Not only that, he had heard of the man’s name since he was still young. In those years, Ling Kuang had withdrawn himself from society and retired. After thousands of years, there was a rumour that Ling Kuang had died peacefully, while someone said Ling Kuang had been travelling around the world. Hence, his appearance shocked every disciple of the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect. The ancestor of the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect had never abandoned them!
“You’re such a rude person. How dare you insult my Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect?”
Ling Kuang said calmly
“If you can get through me, the Earthly fire Heavenly Lightning Sect will be yours.”
“It seems like our battle is still inevitable, Senior Ling Kuang. I swore to devastate your sect today and no one can hold me back.”
Chu Tianzhou said in a low voice.
“Although it will be quite difficult to kill you, it’s just a piece of cake for me to defeat you. You have too much confidence.”
Ling Kuang smiled faintly and shook his head slowly.
“You’re right, I won’t be able to defeat you by myself. But you might not be at an advantage if I am not alone. Senior Ju, sorry to keep you waiting so long.”
Chu Tianzhou took a glance at the northwest direction and said in a deep voice. In the twinkling of an eye, a green shadow approached slowly, riding on a flying sword, standing on the edge of the sword with folded arms. A sword came from the west, there was a person with flowing long white hair, looking cold and calm.
“He is Zhu Zhenfeng from the Northern Shadow Sect!”
“Wow, even Zhu Zhenfeng is here now. It seems like the Blood Tool Sect has made a great effort and is determined to win the battle this time. It’s not easy to bring in the ancestor of the Northern Shadow Sect.”
“That’s true. Even though the Northern Shadow Sect is considered an inferior sect amongst the ten great sects, they have ancestors with extraordinarily powerful strength. This is a fact.”
“I think even if the ancestor of the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect struck out this time, they won’t be able to win over the Blood Tool Sect.”
“The ancestor of the Northern Shadow Sect and the Blood Tool Sect’s Chu Tianzhou will make an alliance this time. I am confident that we will win.”
The entire Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect burst into an uproar completely. Both the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect and Ling Yanyu were in an unpleasant situation. This would be a battle between two great Half-step Hierarch Realm experts and sect ancestors. The Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning failed to gain the upper hand even with the support of their ancestor.
“Hey Brother Ling, how are you doing? Hahaha. It has been thirty thousands years since we last met. Time flies like an arrow.”
The green-clothed old man, Zhu Zhenfeng, burst into laughter. He was staring at Ling Kuang with intensity, looking fearless and calm.
“It seems like you guys are well-prepared with a perfect plan this time.”
Ling Kuang looked extremely serious at the moment. He initially was not afraid of Chu Tianzhou, but now there was Zhu Zhenfeng who was in the same generation as him. It would definitely put him at a disadvantage. Even if he was strong enough, he still only had a slim chance of winning over two Half-step Hierarch Realm experts.
Ling Yanyu had a ghastly expression on his face.
“Is our Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect’s destiny to get eliminated?”
Ling Yanyu murmured under his breath. At the moment, he swore to protect their sect even at the cost of his life. He would stand and fall together with the sect.
“I guess the Blood Tool Sect had paid a great price for bringing in Brother Zhu. It seems like today’s fight is inevitable.”
Ling Kuang shook his head and heaved a deep sigh.
“Brother Ling, we didn’t mean to be offensive. If the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect surrenders and submits to our Blood Tool Sect, I promise that we will retreat peacefully. However, this battle will be unavoidable if you guys still insist on standing against us.”
Zhu Zhenfeng said with a smile.
“Have you ever heard that I was afraid of anyone ten thousand years ago?”
Zhu Zhenfeng was stunned by Ling Kuang’s words.
In those years, Ling Kuang took over the Tian Xing Boundary and his power dominated the whole world. Those were probably the most glorious days of the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect in the Tian Xing Boundary. Among the ten great sects, there was no one above the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect.
“Undoubtedly, I dare not challenge Brother Ling’s position alone. But there is nothing I should worry about if Brother Chu could lend me a hand.”
“Oh well, let’s just see the result as strength would tell.”
Chu Tianzhou’s eyes met Zhu Zhenfeng’s. Eventually, both of them united and joined hands in the battle.
After hearing the news of the fight amongst three Half-step Hierarch Realm experts, countless people bowed down before them instantly.
“
Humph, I will see how you’re going to fight us.”
Chu Yunji snorted in disdain, looking at Ling Yanyu with a half smile. Ling Yanyu had suffered a severe injury after fighting Chu Tianzhou. His combat strength was greatly diminished at the moment and he would not be able to confront thirty Divine King experts once again.
“Guys, let’s do it before it’s too late!”
Chu Fangzhi howled ferociously and charged forward. Twenty eight Divine King experts had made a formation once again and surrounded Ling Lanyu on all sides.
“Hahaha, I am not afraid at all. The moment I became the sect lord of the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect, I have left my life out of consideration. So what if I die in the fight today?”
Ling Yanyu was fearless at this moment, he wiped off the blood that was flowing from the corner of his mouth. Ling Yun and Yang Le could not help but burst into tears after seeing hundreds of wounds on his body.
“Master……I am sorry. It’s all my fault……”
Ling Yun was filled with regret and guilt, her eyes glistened with tears. Nothing would’ve happened if she married into the Blood Tool Sect in the beginning.
“It’s not your fault. The Blood Tool Sect will still try to devour our sect even without you. This battle is inevitable for the rise of the Blood Tool Sect, we are merely one of their targets.”
Yang Le bit her lips and witnessed all of these silently. She was facing death calmly at the moment. If Ling Yanyu fell in this battle, she would definitely go after him.
