There was no one within Yu Shangyan's field of vision, but a hundred miles away, thousands of people gathered together.
This distance is just at the edge of Yu Shangyan's perception range, or even outside of it. Because the power of the sunset world is more intense, the perception range is extremely small, not large. But Yu Shangyan has a full perception of the five elements, not just a single aspect, so through the wind, he knows everything around him.
At the front of the thousand people, Yue Long, the leader of the Zongyue Sect, stood with his hands behind his back, about to start his pre-battle speech. This was a habit before the battle, and it was also to help everyone burst out with stronger fighting power.
"This battle is about the survival of the Zongyue Sect. Everyone, be alert and kill these three people at all costs! If they don't die, our Zongyue Sect will perish under the power they created in the future. How can three outsiders stop us?"
The disciples all shouted in unison to boost their morale, and Yue Long said to the two middle-aged men beside him:
"My two brothers, have you figured out how to fight the enemy?"
"How else can we fight? Let's fight! Both of us are Heavenly Fifth Stage experts, how can we not defeat three outsiders? Even if they are mysterious and powerful, the Thirteenth Stage is still the top strength."
"That's right! The fourteenth level means having the strength to create a ground-level level. How could they possibly reach that level of strength? And they came here through the atmosphere. As you can imagine, they are not that strong at all."
The two middle-aged men had many wrinkles on their faces and looked almost the same as Yue Long. But as the army advanced, they all said to each other:
"If it weren't for our family ties, we really wouldn't want to care about you."
"We are all brothers, don't be so heartless."
"Who is your brother? Our Yue family is a big family under the Zhuang clan. We have helped you to take this position with great difficulty, but you are obsessed with beauty. What's the use of that?"
"That's right! Women who only have beauty but no strength are just useless vases. You have damaged the family's reputation for a group of vases that will be broken sooner or later. The family has decided to confiscate your position as the head of the clan and transfer it to me and others."
"What?"
Yue Long didn't know about this yet, and his face changed immediately. The two people he invited were Yue Shan and Yue He, peers of his family. They broke through the thirteenth level some time ago, which was a great joy for the family. After all, after perception, it is the eighth level of the earth, and after that, it is the eighth level of the sky. The former is easy to cultivate, and the latter is difficult to cultivate. To become a thirteenth-level strongman in just a few years, even in the entire Xishu world, it can be regarded as something to show off. But Yue Long didn't expect that the family would remove his position, so he quickly pleaded, saying:
"Although I am a bit greedy for beauty, I provide a lot of things to the family every year, which is equal to the family's total income for two years. To put it bluntly, you can have what you have today because I invested a lot of elixirs. Otherwise, how could you have so much source energy to absorb?"
"I warn you, don't call your entitlement a favor!"
Yue Shan shouted, and the eloquent Yue He immediately responded:
"Why don't you think about how much resources the family spent to establish this Zongyue Sect and your position? That was the price of almost losing all the family property. Now you are talking about something that is your due. Do you really have the nerve to do that? In the past, you were strong and we were just a small family, so it was understandable for us to let you be the sect leader. But now we are much stronger than you. You are just a twelfth-level cultivator. You should just go back to the family and stay there!"
"We'll help you keep your seat."
They didn't hide anything in their conversation, and then, Yue Shan looked at the thousand people, as if he had become their master. When he tried to control the sect's army, Yue Long's eyes suddenly condensed. He had been in charge of the Zongyue sect for so long, how could he give it up like this? So, when Yue Shan was about to speak, he spoke first:
"Everyone, follow me!"
Yue Shan glared at him fiercely, but Yue Long just said coldly:
"Let's solve the current problem first!"
"You don't want to hand over this power?"
"Let's solve the current problem first."
Yue Long repeated it again, but Yue Shan and Yue He just snorted coldly. This matter was not something Yue Long could decide, because they were not in a hurry, but were looking forward to the performance of Xia Xiao and the other two. They had fought with many people, some were sparring, some were life-and-death battles. Who has not killed a few people in their hands when they have reached this level? But they didn't know what kind of strength those three people had.
In great anticipation, Yue Long secretly glared at the two of them, "Don't even think about taking things from me! No matter how sinister the trick is, he can use it!"
Thousands of people followed the trail and headed for the northeast corner of the prosperous continent. When they were about to arrive, Yue Long gave an order, saying:
"Form a formation!"
The Zongyue sect mainly uses swords, and everyone has their own sword. When they dance with swords, hundreds of people form a sword wheel, which is extremely sharp and can cut everything. Nine circles of light appear in the air, and then more than 20 elders and more than 50 disciples with higher cultivation all stand on the ground and move forward quickly, trying to launch a surprise attack.
A thousand meters ahead in an instant, Xia Xiao and the other two appeared in sight. Yue Long saw them and said:
“Tear it to pieces.”
Three sword wheels, each a hundred feet wide, suddenly fell down, cutting the already scarred ground, causing grass and dirt to splash everywhere. However, Xia Xiao and the other two were reduced to a few wisps of green smoke in the sharp sword energy, and dissipated, leaving no trace in the world.
Yue Long knew it wouldn't be that easy, seeing the three people standing leisurely in the air above him, he couldn't help but ask:
"How dare you! You knew we were coming, but you didn't prepare some formations and traps?"
"Why would I need so much effort to deal with you?"
Xia Xiao liked this very much. When he should be restrained, he could be more restrained than anyone else, even humble. But when he should be arrogant, he would not care about anyone. Xia Xiao's words made Yue Long laugh unscrupulously. There were two people beside him, more than 30 elders, more than 50 elite disciples, and nine sharp sword wheels behind him. He fully demonstrated his strength, but Xia Xiao seemed a little weak.
"You three still want to defeat us?"
"More?"
Xia Xiao looked at him with contempt, causing Yue Long's mouth to twitch as he shouted:
"superior!"
The nine sword wheels roared out without reservation, heading towards Xia Xiao and the other two. When Xia Xiao formed a seal and the seven beasts appeared behind him, Yue Long and the others were startled, but they quickly realized that it was just a trick of the lower world and they could not see how powerful it was. The death of Xia Xiao and the other two today was inevitable!
The moment the seven beasts appeared behind Xia Xiao, Xia Xiao felt a strong sense of fear. With that throbbing feeling in his heart, he looked at the five spirit beasts behind Yu Shangyan.
They were different from Xia Xiao's five spirit beasts. Although they were also wood birdmen, their claws and fangs were sharper, their wings were like clouds, their faces were like Prajna, their foreheads had two horns on top, and they looked extremely ferocious, and there were seeds in their abdomens. Their bodies were ten meters long, like the golden roc, and their cries could pierce the sky, tear apart the wind and rain, and they could fall in an instant like thunder and lightning.
The Qilin of Fire has a brilliant fire belt, which is extremely dreamy. The elk has countless flames on its body, the ox tail can stir up the world, the horse's hooves are like wolves, running as fast as the wind, and can tear through the sky. The fish scales and the horn on the top of the head echo each other, as if they can see through everything, with an extremely domineering kingly demeanor that cannot be compared.
The water spirit is a huge, charming mermaid with vertical pupils like animals. It lacks the warmth of water but has a lot of cold winter air, which is extremely freezing. And the cold expression, together with the two strings of frozen tears, is terrifying. A strong and agile fish tail, with ice scales, is also very attractive, just like the visible cold air around it.
The golden spirit beast twisted in the air. It was a golden dragon with countless swords on its body. Whenever it moved, a heavy and sharp metallic aura passed through the air, as if it could cut through space. The golden dragon turned and roared forward, causing Yue Long to tremble a little. He couldn't help but murmur:
"What kind of monsters are these?"
The earth trembled, and a thousand-meter-long earth dragon made of stone rose up, causing the earth to shatter and become miserable. Among them, there was also a slender four-clawed lizard, but it was only a hundred meters long, and its low roar seemed to be just a pretense. But when they rushed forward together, Yue Long vaguely felt that he had bitten a hard bone this time.
In the air, nine sword wheels were coming in front of him, but Xia Xiao just looked at Yu Shangyan, and said with pride:
"You go deal with them, I'll be here later."
Yu Shangyan nodded and said in a defiant voice:
"I don't need your instructions, I know it myself!"
Immediately, the man and four beasts disappeared from the spot, leaving only a few silent howling gusts of wind in the air.
"What about me?"
"Why would a mortal need the intervention of a god? My princess, just watch the show."
Ah Zhu had been to the battlefield, so he was not afraid. However, he would not use the power related to the gods. After all, Ah Zhu always felt that it was difficult to control, and using it too much would not do him any good. Watching the show was much easier than fighting, but when Ah Zhu saw the nine sword wheels behind Xia Xiao, he immediately reminded him:
"careful!"
The love in his eyes was immediately replaced by fighting spirit. When Xia Xiao turned his head, the power in his body surged out instantly. The source energy was like a raging wave, and there was also a surge of demonic energy. Xia Xiao was about to launch his own strong attack, but before the colorful source energy and demonic energy rushed out, Xia Xiao said loudly:
"No matter how strong they are, we have to work hard. In my heart, you will always be unique and cannot be replaced by anyone else. So give me a helping hand and don't lose to her!"
Xia Xiao was of course speaking to the five spirit beasts. They had been distracted by Yu Shangyan's five spirit beasts before, and had a strong sense of inferiority. But with Xia Xiao's encouragement, they finally became more determined and were ready to step forward.
"Just because of what you said, I have to work harder!"
The Huodou came out with flames all over the sky, and so did Ju Mang and Xiao Yu. The golden spirit beast floated in front of Xia Xiao and was caught in his hand.
