“Black Yans, seize him!” At the moment a shadow was blasted upward by a stream of magma from deep within the mountain, Xuner sharply commanded. She didn’t feel unfamiliar with this silhouette soaring high above.
“Binding SpiritNet!” As the word of decree issued coldly from Xuner lips, many swiftly-flying figures scattered across from the skies in perfect unison. Chanting resounded, waves of robust martial qi rapidly gathered into a giant net made entirely of energy and then descended violently upon that mysterious figure as though to overwhelm the heavens. This net emitted strange fluctuations; had it been struck fully, the target would fall within reach of countless Black Yans and find escape exceedingly difficult.
“Explode!”面对呼啸而来的 energy netting, unexpectedly unruffled, the figure gestured abruptly. Tens of powerful gales erupted from his shifting mudra and struck various pivotal points on the enormous spiritual mesh sequentially until suddenly—a mighty howling arose. The violent impact shattered that mighty web outright then he immediately lifted his eyes, hastened his momentum to the maximum, and rushed upwards towards the open sky.
“It’s futile—his movements match our Binding SpiritWebs too precisely—it’s evident that he struck straight at the net’s inherent weak points with his response!” Observing a vast energy net composed from the strength of many elite Black Yans easily torn, ancient prince Guyang’s face hardened.
“Hmph, Guyang, traitor!” At the very moment while this rebel figure darted swiftly upwards beyond the horizon—his presence noted quickly, as ancient pathways shifted in response—the remaining aristocratic triad’s faces fell sharply. But the three, preparing to unleash countermeasures, found themselves intercepted abruptly by three of the four demon holy sovereigns of the Hun Clan appearing suddenly before them, while Hun Clan’s final member continued to morph sacred configurations. A colossal jet-black brilliance erupted from his palm—slashing straight into the guarding auric field overhead—its forceful collision producing a visible rupture within the shield structure that sealed the battlefield above!
“Hold him!” Confusion stirred overhead as the sky blanched. Xuner flicked her jade-like hand commandingly as ancestral clan champions prepared their stance. However due to the ever-tightening Hun Clan assault patterns threatening ancestral contingencies, many senior warriors could not abandon their formations. Only youthful cadres such as Xuner’s group could act without reserve.
Upon finishing her call to arms, she was first to vanish into streaked speed as ancient noble youths scrambled behind.
“Join the battle!” Witnessed afar, at the martial ground upon stone terrace platforms, Huo Xuan gave a grim nod—then sprang skyward. Great pyreflighted wings sprouted outward as he rushed forward chasing the escaping silhouette amidst rising emerald clansman including Huozhi among others swiftly pursuing alongside.
“What do we do, Master Leidong?” The emergent skirmish caught young thunderkind slightly off their guard causing them to hesitate until their comrade Layun spoke uneasily breaking from uncertainty.
“Remain positioned—you cannot move yet, but I shall!” Brooding browed Layun barked out sharply. A silver radiance flashed and off he vanished—other thundersiders begrudgingly agreed due likely to inferior prowess. One touch at the enemy could cause near critical wounding—thus becoming an encumberance rather than support.
High above the heavens now filled with chaotic battle. The enigmatic airborne entity surged rapidly in direction toward the fracture torn open by one of Huns’ four evil sovereigns—Hunyan himself. Yet before he could clear three hundreds zhàng (Chinese length) toward his objective—multiple cutting bursts erupted violently behind his back! Piercing vital trajectories, forcing evasive maneuver or immediate annihilation—the cloaked adversary halted, sleeves flaring dispelling the barrage. At that precise moment, the vanguard led by Xuner surged forward—encircling and surrounding the escaped target comprehensively.
“Master Guyang, what reasons motivate rebellion against ancestral command?!” Xuner cried out in righteous ire fixing her eyes onto that wildly flowing silver-haired elder confronting them.
“Haha—you think truly my appearance remains that faithful Guyang you’ve always trusted?” At Xuner challenge a hideous smirk curved his lip beneath the tousled strands of grizzled hair hiding sinister eyes—a far cry from previous expressions once benign.
Pupils constricted, chills crawling—should the real Guyang be counterfeit for so long, ancient secrets risk spooling straight into Hun spy network for eons past—Xuner’s company bristled at implications.
“Spirit of the man perished ages ago when the Sovereign of Absence forcefully integrated our beings.” Chuckling, he confessed chillingly, “For generations, secluded and silent I dared not stand in Guangyi elder and others’ way…but at long last—fated deliverance arrives!!!”
As Guyang laughed and retreated, torrents luminous qi erupted from encircling combatants, converging into violent strikes meant to cripple his withdrawal attempt at mid-retreat escape path.
“Kids attempting to best me, how quaint?” Guyang bursted aloud, his palm slamming into open space, contorting the surroundings into tangible distortion—a shield solid enough to resist the initial waves striking it.
“Hmph, farewell my dear pursuers.” Intercepting the attack momentarily, he flashed another smirk then swiveled—only to encounter mid-turn an inrushing limb radiated pink-flaming aura bursting through his intended escape route to meet his chest in violent impact—a punch searing like wildfire, evaporating instantaneously all barriers guarding around his battered frame! A blood-stamped hand print imprimed over his chest!
“You’re not getting away now, are you! Xiao Yan stood upon air with arms crosses, smirking grimacing with the aura from the Six Star Dou圣 fully displayed—crushing pressure down onto Guyang, draining color from his grimace!
“Aid me, Sovereign Hunyan!” Awareness of Xiao Yan’s might crushed all hope of parity, desperate shrieks flew.
“Youth, dare meddle with Hun’s schemes—you court only death!!” Witnessing unfolding confrontation—especially as the adversary confronting his ally was one who managed escape from Hunyans grip during Pharmaceutical Clan days, ignited his burning irate roar instantly.
One sharp stab of finger through void—and from point of finger joint emerged an abysmally deep sable gleam. At near unobservable speeds—it tore toward target!
The “Necrosis Strike!”
As Hunyan unleashed force simultaneously—Xiao’yan’s silhouette transformed nearly instantaneously—turning translucent fuchsia crystal-like with Qi amplifying rapidly outward. Countering immediately—”Yellow Spring Pointer”—finger flicked in counter.
“Bang!! Bang!!!”
A titanic spectral finger made purely of cosmic might shot forward from Xiao Yan’s outstretched digit—one follow-up blow succeeding upon the first crashing unrelentingly headlong unto darkened beam opposing! Their colliding caused explosive impacts across skies—the Yellow Spring digit crumbling, but through sheer mass, eventually absorbing Hunyans attack in sequence despite losing fives of its formations.
At direct impact resistance successfully achieved by Xiao Yan upon Hunyans original strike—shocked crease formed at forehead corner over stunned expressions of onlookers alike. Previously during the days at Pharmaceutical Clan—repulsion required reliance on his heterofire mastery—but currently—he resisted by sheer strength alone. Such a quantum leap—unnerving at scale.
“Today shall prove how many you could sustain, boy!” Calculated, Hunyan shifted intent, another round of blackened essence formed between digits while judging Xiao Yan as max at Sixth Stars—if through hidden methods pushed limits—still insufficient to fully rival.
Roar issued—he gave no breathing intervals: ten fingers stabbing, ten shadow beams tearing through breach in shield defenses—one set trajectory to pierce Xiao Yan.
As the scene unfurled, concentration tightened—Xiao Yan whirling a palm intending to mold Firelotus—but before construct stabilized—powerfully-built silhouette breached open airspace—hammer fisted downwards delivering an immense pressure wave like a crashing mountain range, impacting—and shattering clean those ten shadowy death rays at stroke:
“Facing children to attack, a coward, Hunyan—I stand ready for you!” Thunderclap from the approaching figure rang aloud.
“Hmph, Guyang—years pass and still lack of improvement?” Watching the massive figure approach resembling a mountain, Hunyan’s mood darkening rapidly.
“Black Yan King—the highest commander of all Black Clan forces. Ancient house truly brimming strong champions.” As ancient warlord stepped into view—Xiao Yan’s heart stirred surprised—never having previously encountered this enigmatic figure amidst Ancient domain.
Young companion! Retrieve the Gu Tablet—we’ll leave the rest of this old sheep to you!” Guyue stated not even glancing rearward, his robe fluttering as he soared up into immediate combat clashing against the Hunyan sovereign in a duel for supremacy.
Acknowledging affirmatively—Xiao Yan didn’t spare thoughts toward the confrontation overhead. Whirling instead—he cast narrowed gaze outward. Xuner’s company forming enclosing ring encircled Guyang—tightening netting from all approaches.
Encased within the tightening perimeter, madness contorting face as foot stomped hard against emptiness itself—bursting forth into the sky straight against shielding dome above—seeking brute breach.
Perceiving desperation attempt for exit—anger etched face as Xiao Yan released fiery jets—a burning gale smashing full impact against figure, scattering blood and flesh simultaneously outward.
Under Xiao Yan’s and the group’s relentless offense, wounds covered Guyang’s battered frame—but twisted smile only widened further. As reaching hundred-zhàng short to final dome shield—it seemed battered mass started inflating unnaturally outward.
“He’s detonating himself!!!” The moment realized shock struck faces—the magnitude of an energy output from final stage Foe-Saint’s suicide strike would devastate—slowing everyone briefly.
“Thudd!!!”
With slight hesitation in motion from his foes—heself blew apart in an instant—destructive blast tore into the remaining protective cover sealing heavens before—in explosive maelstrom from the explosion—an eerie red bolt tore forth from the center flying at breakneck speed towards battlefield clusters high above.
“The Gu Tablet—interception now!!” As eagle-eyed, instantly spied the object enveloped inside crimson burst—a slab about one’s palm sized—an irreplicable artifact of ancient crystal tablet belonging specifically to the Guyang line! His ultimate attempt—a desperate gambit of self-immolation for sending the ancient inheritance outward!
Thus, he perished—mission accomplished.
