Chapter 187: Extraterritorial Battlefield

"Humph, you are just a fifth-level Yuanying, and you dare to act so presumptuous in front of me."

A hint of disdain appeared on Ye Tian's lips, but his body moved like a ghost, easily avoiding the man's fatal blow.

He did not rush to fight back, but instead wandered around the edge of the battlefield in a playful manner.

"you!"

The man was furious when he saw this. He had not expected that his full-strength attack could be so easily resolved by the opponent. He was terribly embarrassed.

He roared, and his swordsmanship became even more fierce. Every sword strike was accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, in an attempt to use the numerical advantage to force Ye Tian to reveal his flaws.

However, Ye Tian's movements were as agile as flowing water. No matter how fierce the opponent's attack was, he could always resolve it easily.

"That's enough. That's enough."

Ye Tian's voice suddenly became cold. He paused and stopped dodging. Instead, he faced the man's attack head-on.

He quickly formed seals with his hands, his spiritual energy surged, and a tremendous force gathered in his body.

"Golden Crow Supreme Fist!"

Ye Tian let out a low shout and punched the opponent, moving straight towards the man.

The man's face turned pale and he hurriedly swung his sword to block. However, he could not resist the power of the sword. With a "crack", the sword broke, but the remaining power of the sword continued to attack him.

At this critical moment, a gleam of determination flashed across the man's eyes. He bit his tongue hard and spurted a mouthful of blood onto the broken hilt.

In an instant, the hilt of the sword shone brightly, and it actually triggered some kind of secret technique, transforming into a blood-red shield that barely blocked the attack of the sword.

"You're trying your best, but it won't save you."

Ye Tian sneered and moved closer again.

This time, he did not use the sword, but directly used his fist instead of the sword and punched the man in the chest.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the fist wind collided with the blood-red shield, bursting out with dazzling light.

The shield shattered instantly, and Ye Tian's fist was as powerful as a unstoppable bamboo, directly penetrating the man's defense and hitting him heavily on the chest.

"Puff!" The man was hit hard, spitting blood, flew backwards, fell heavily to the ground, and was dying.

"Who else?"

Ye Tian looked around with a sharp gaze, at the monks who had originally planned to besiege him.

At this moment, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they retreated one after another. No one dared to take a step forward.

"I am not a murderous person, but if you are determined to die, I will not show mercy."

Ye Tian said this calmly, then turned and left, leaving behind only a mess and a group of shocked monks.

After a while, many monks recovered from their shock.

"Fuck, this guy is too strong. He actually defeated a fifth-level Yuanying master with just one move."

"What did I see? That person is actually a piece of trash in the early stage of foundation building?"

"How could he possess such a terrifying power..."

Everyone looked at Ye Tian's receding back, with huge waves rising in their hearts.

…

On the other side, Fairy Yuhua has arrived at Zhongzhou Pavilion.

"My fellow elders, Man Miao's disciple Ye Tian has brought back news that people from outside the region are preparing to attack our Three Thousand Dao States!"

After Fairy Yuhua finished telling all the news, the elders present were shocked.

"You mean to say that the people outside the domain are preparing to attack the Three Thousand Dao States first, and then launch an attack on the Immortal Domain?"

An old man with white hair and beard asked in a deep voice: "How many people are there?"

"The exact number is still unclear because the overseas channels have been closed."

Fairy Yuhua bowed slightly, and then answered firmly: "But what is certain is that the other side has at least ten Holy Kings, otherwise they would not have the courage to challenge the Three Thousand Dao States."

The other elders looked solemn upon hearing this. They did not expect that people from outside the region would really start a war.

The Three Thousand Dao States are the core of governance and the foundation of the Dao Pavilion. Now that they are being provoked, they must show their attitude, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

"Since this matter is of great importance, let's report it to the Immortal Realm immediately."

Several cabinet elders expressed their attitude very straightforwardly and prepared to report the matter to the cabinet, and let the top management decide how to deal with the matter.

"Everyone, please slow down—"

Just at this moment, an old woman stood up and spoke in a calm tone.

"I think we can just wait and see how things develop."

"Although the enemy forces outside the region have ten Saint Kings sitting in the gate and millions of monks suppressing them, we also have more than a dozen Saint Kings in our Three Thousand Dao States."

"And we have the support of the Five Great Sacred Grounds and countless sects. Even if they come, we are not afraid!"

The old woman had a wrinkled face and a hunched body, but her eyes were deep and sharp, with a faint gleam of light passing through her cloudy pupils.

She is Liu Rong, the deputy head of the Eighth Pavilion of Sanqian Daozhou. Although she is over 70 years old, her strength has reached the peak of a great sage, and she is even only half a step away from becoming a saint.

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately won the approval of everyone present.

It is indeed as Deputy Pavilion Master Liu said, there are many Holy Kings in the Three Thousand Dao States. Apart from anything else, the Dao Alliance alone is enough to crush any invader.

"Deputy Pavilion Master Liu is right. Although the people from outside the region are quite powerful, we still have the advantage in numbers."

"Whether it's the Five Sacred Lands or the royal family, they will do their best to help us."

"Even if they send Saint King-level masters to attack us, we will not be in vain!"

The elders nodded one after another, and the atmosphere gradually changed from solemn to firm.

At this moment, a rapid bell rang from deep inside Zhongzhou Pavilion, interrupting everyone's discussion.

"Is this... an emergency summons?" An old man frowned and looked in the direction where the bell sound came from.

Fairy Yuhua's expression changed slightly. She knew the meaning of the bell very well. If it wasn't for a major emergency, she would never ring it lightly.

She quickly stood up and said to the elders, "Everyone, it seems that the situation is more complicated than we expected. Please follow me."

No one dared to delay and followed Fairy Yuhua into the depths of Zhongzhou Pavilion.

As they went deeper, a depressing and heavy breath hit their faces, as if even the air had solidified.

Finally, they came to an ancient meeting hall. In the center of the hall, a huge crystal mirror was suspended in the air. The picture in the mirror kept changing, and finally stopped on a desolate battlefield.

"Is this... a battlefield outside the domain?" an elder asked in surprise.

Fairy Yuhua nodded and said in a deep voice: "The news I just received is that the passage outside the domain is not completely blocked. A vanguard force has broken through the defense line and is heading towards our Three Thousand Dao States. Moreover, their speed is far beyond our expectations."

When the elders heard this, their faces changed.

The appearance of the vanguard troops meant that the offensive plan of the outsiders had been advanced, and the time left for them to prepare was greatly shortened.

"We must take action immediately and not sit idly by," said an elder anxiously.

"That's right. We should not only strengthen our defenses, but also take the initiative to attack and blunt their arrogance." Another elder added.
