Chapter 814: One vs. Four

Zhan Wang Ji!

Xuan Wang’s body trembled as he looked at that halberd, and his mind had a moment of daze.

In the past, his head had been severed by this halberd.

In the past, he had fought its owner for dominion over the world.

Now, seeing Zhan Wang Ji again, how could his heart remain calm?

A moment later, he clenched his fists tightly and turned his head to look toward the empty sky.

There, a youth in armor was approaching step by step, his strides strangely swift, each one spanning a thousand zhang, his figure like a ghost.

His black hair cascaded like a waterfall, his eyes shone like stars, his steps were steady and powerful, his form as unyielding as a mountain, enveloped in divine light that made his armor gleam brilliantly. Each step he took made the empty sky tremble violently.

Seeing the armored youth’s face, Xuan Wang’s mind had another moment of daze, as if he were seeing an old friend from ancient times.

"You are not Xiao Zhan."

A moment later, Xuan Wang looked coldly at the armored youth.

"I am Xiao Chen, the son of Zhan Wang."

The armored youth stopped, blocking the way in front of Ye Chen’s thunder sea, gripping Zhan Wang Ji in his hand. His ambition soared to the clouds, his aura swallowed mountains and rivers, and his battle intent transformed into dragon shapes surrounding him. Though he was not Zhan Wang, he seemed like a war god.

"The son of Zhan Wang?"

Ye Chen, still in the thunder sea resisting the thunderbolts, was suddenly startled. He glanced at Xiao Chen standing before Xuan Wang, whose back was as unyielding as a mountain, like an insurmountable peak.

"Truly has the bearing of a world-conqueror."

Ye Chen couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, "His combat power is absolutely no less than that of the son of Dong Huang."

"Xiao Chen, good, very good."

As Ye Chen sighed, Xuan Wang laughed wildly, his laughter like thunder booming, shaking the empty sky. Too many people couldn’t withstand the pressure and were shaken to spit blood and fly backward.

"Xiao Zhan, in the past you severed my head, today I will make sure your line ends completely."

Xuan Wang roared, his aura making the heavens and earth tremble. A beam of yin underworld light shot up to the sky, smashing a huge hole in the empty sky. His combat power made Dao Huang and the others, who were rushing over, change their expressions in shock.

"Was Father in the past fighting enemies as powerful as this?"

Xiao Chen murmured, his own aura rapidly rising, his blood energy surging, and his terrifying battle intent erupting.

Kill!

Xuan Wang shouted violently, raising a palm to grasp the stars and press down on Xiao Chen. It was so powerful that the void space shattered inch by inch.

Fight!

Xiao Chen roared to the heavens, swinging Zhan Wang Ji to split the heavens and earth.

Boom!

Zhan Wang Ji collided with Xuan Wang’s palm print, producing a clang. The peerlessly powerful Xiao Chen was immediately shaken back, and Zhan Wang Ji in his hand trembled intensely, with a dormant power within it rapidly awakening.

Kill!

Xuan Wang charged again, his left hand evolving yin and yang, and also manifesting the universe. His divine abilities were profoundly mysterious and overwhelmingly strong.

Eight Wastelands Slash!

Dao Huang was the first to arrive, swinging his dragon blade to unleash a world-shaking blade light.

Begone!

Xuan Wang shouted lightly and struck out with a palm, forcing Dao Huang back.

Heavenly Journey Nine Swords!

Du Gu Ao also arrived, merging nine world-shaking sword lights into one, slashing open the heavens and earth.

Begone!

Xuan Wang’s eyes flickered, his strike overwhelmingly dominant, his palm containing many divine ability variations. Du Gu Ao was forced to grunt and retreat.

Nine Profound Dragon Seal!

Tian Zong Lao Zu had just arrived, using spatial secret arts to gather a palm seal and strike down from the sky.

Hmph!

Xuan Wang snorted coldly, his fist gripping yin and yang and the universe, with many secret arts interwoven within, merging into one to shatter Tian Zong Lao Zu’s great seal and force him back forcefully.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen, Dao Huang, and Du Gu Ao charged from three directions, each unleashing world-shaking divine abilities. Tian Zong Lao Zu, having steadied himself, also joined the battle circle, as the four of them teamed up against Xuan Wang.

Xuan Wang was truly like a king of the world, fighting one against four without falling behind at all. His combat power had infinitely approached the Tian Jing realm.

Boom! Bang! Rumble!

The massive battlefield was extraordinarily grand, with the sky thundering, the earth cracking, space fissures everywhere, lightning flashing and thunder roaring, throwing the heavens and earth into chaos.

Damn!

Ye Chen, still in the thunder sea resisting the heavenly tribulation, was utterly astonished by this scene.

Who was Dao Huang? The emperor of blades!

Who was Du Gu Ao? The zun of swords!

Who was Chu Cang Zong? The saint of space!

Who was Xiao Chen? The son of Zhan Wang!

The combat power of these four was among the top in Da Chu, yet even together, they could only fight Xuan Wang on equal terms. What an otherworldly existence his power was.

"Zhan Wang’s great enemy from the past was indeed no simple matter."

Ye Chen was deeply moved. Even though he had now advanced to the Quasi-Tian Jing realm, the gap between him and Xuan Wang was still vast.

As he thought this, he quickly retreated, because the battlefield of Xuan Wang and the others was too immense. As someone still undergoing tribulation, being too close could get him caught in the crossfire.

Once he stopped in a patch of empty space, he began to survey the surroundings.

The great battle erupted again, and this time, the Zheng Yang Zong army also joined in. With their mountain-protecting barrier broken, they had no defense to rely on. However, their involvement greatly increased the pressure on the allied forces from all sides.

"Abandon your resistance, and I will ensure your lives."

Ji Ning Shuang’s voice, like heavenly music, rang out. Standing in the empty sky, she was like a queen, her voice carrying coldness and authority.

"Betraying your master and ancestors, you're courting death."

Yin Zhou erupted in fury, charging like a ghost to take Ji Ning Shuang’s life.

"Your opponent is me."

Shang Guan Xuan Jiang appeared from nowhere, striking with a palm to force Yin Zhou back.

In another direction, Zhong Kui, Zhong Jiang, and Zhong Li also arrived one after another, blocking three of Zheng Yang Zong’s elders. Not just them, many old figures rushed into this realm, each at the Quasi-Tian Jing realm.

At this critical moment, the allied forces would not allow any mishap to befall Ji Ning Shuang, because her presence might instantly make the Zheng Yang Zong cultivators switch sides. The significance of this was too great.

Zheng Yang Zong was also well aware of this, which is why they were desperate to kill her.

Thus, one side sought to kill while the other protected, leading to a shocking melee centered on Ji Ning Shuang.

"Yang Zhen Grand Commander, this battle is meaningless. For the sake of our ancestors and the prosperity of future generations, I beseech you to surrender."

Ji Ning Shuang did not join the battle but gazed into the empty sky, her beautiful eyes falling on Yang Zhen, who looked desolate and unenthusiastic about fighting.

"Are you certain you can guarantee our lives?"

Yang Zhen quietly looked at Ji Ning Shuang.

"He was able to unite the four sides in a year, not relying on the title of Dan Sheng Killer God, but on the vision and resolve of an emperor."

Ji Ning Shuang spoke softly, "That is my answer."

"I understand."

Yang Zhen took a deep breath, and his desolate, wandering eyes suddenly burst with sharp light.

"Those who wish to follow me, stand behind me."

Yang Zhen’s voice echoed through the heavens and earth. Armor reappeared on his body, and a war halberd appeared in his hand. "Those who do not, we will meet on the battlefield."

Yang Zhen’s words were impactful, making many Zheng Yang Zong cultivators still in battle subconsciously halt their attacks. Many who had raised their killing swords froze their arms in mid-air.

Seeing this, Cheng Kun, who was fighting Yang Ding Tian in another part of the empty sky, erupted in fury.

"Yang Zhen, how dare you betray the sect in the midst of battle? Men, kill him!"
