Chapter 867: Chaotic Battle of Freaks
Xiang Shaoyun had comprehended nine profundities. Each profundity would grant him a different effect when attacking, and his current attacks were displaying this property. Not only were his attacks erupting with lightning, but they were also being quickened by the power of wind, which was how he could attack so rapidly.
Huang Tianji had been on the verge of breaking through when Xiang Shaoyun had interrupted him. His aura was now in a mess, and he had a hard time withstanding Xiang Shaoyun's barrage. Nevertheless, Huang Tianji was still a prince armed with powerful equipment such as the peak sovereign armor he was wearing. The armor could block Xiang Shaoyun's entire barrage.
Xiang Shaoyun also understood that as well, so he tried his best to aim for Huang Tianji's limbs or head. Huang Tianji was infuriated by the pain he was feeling in both his arms.
"Xiang Shaoyun, you're pushing this too far!" Huang Tianji roared and unleashed the draconic aura he was supposed to use for his breakthrough. He pushed his Royal War Aura to the maximum, and it was as though an actual dragon had burst out of his body and blasted Xiang Shaoyun away.
The Royal War Aura was a battle aura exclusive to the royal clan. It was extremely powerful, and regular Emperors would be gravely injured, if not killed, after being hit by it. However, Xiang Shaoyun seemed completely fine. With the sovereign armor he had on him, he remained unharmed.
Since Huang Tianji had failed in his breakthrough, he was extremely furious. His spear lashed out and transformed into numerous dragon phantoms that shot at Xiang Shaoyun. Each phantom contained enough power to instantly defeat an ordinary Sovereign.
"Xiang Shaoyun, only one of us will live past today!" Huang Tianji roared. He had always been an arrogant person. Nobody had disobeyed him before, let alone work against him. And yet Xiang Shaoyun had repeatedly caused him to suffer losses. His hatred for Xiang Shaoyun had risen to the maximum.
He was no longer holding anything back when attacking.
Xiang Shaoyun retreated rapidly while ingeniously dodging the Devil Sovereign coming from behind. As a result, Huang Tianji's spear attacks struck the Devil Sovereign instead, leaving over a dozen holes in the puppet. The puppet was killed on the spot, displaying the might of Huang Tianji's attack.
Xiang Shaoyun quickly drew his Overlord Skyslaying Saber and stirred his lightning energy and lightning bone. A rich amount of lightning energy coursed over his body, and his presence of dragon and tiger surged out. He swung his saber, unleashing a storm.
Rumble! Rumble!
The two freaks clashed, creating numerous energy eruptions all around them. The chaotic energy spread everywhere, scaring the weaker disciples into quickly retreating from the gorge.
One ought to know that Xiang Shaoyun and Huang Tianji weren't the only ones fighting. Other battles were also going on, such as Zhan Wushuang and Lei Bao's, and Ouyang Chuanqi and Yu Ziyang's. Explosions were erupting everywhere, the intensity of the battlefield greatly surpassing the level of destruction an Emperor was supposed to be able to wreak.
Under such circumstances, those weaker than the combatants did not dare to stay. Even the Devil Sovereign puppets had been reduced into nothing but tools the combatants were using in their fight.
As for the phoenix phantom, it had been fully absorbed by Yu Caidie and her phoenix. She was unable to take part in the ongoing battle, so she swiftly began to depart with her phoenix. She was reluctant to leave, throwing him one last glance before departing.
As for Baili Yixiao, after getting the first jade case, he joined up with Long Shi and prepared to leave. He did not seem interested in fighting anyone there.
However, Zhan Wushuang had no intention of letting Baili Yixiao go. After breaking away from Long Shi, he rushed Baili Yixiao and released a terrifyingly destructive punch. His fist seemed capable of destroying everything in its way, as though a powerful Sovereign had personally attacked, unleashing an unstoppable attack.
Baili Yixiao had a kind heart, but that did not mean he did not enjoy battling. Facing Zhan Wushuang's challenge, he raised his brow before using his fingers as a sword to easily disperse the incoming punch.
"Baili Yixiao, today, I will wash clean the shame I had suffered before!" Zhan Wushuang declared as he charged Baili Yixiao like a barbaric dragon. His pair of fists exuded an endless battle intent and shone with a brilliant radiance that filled the entire gorge.
"Zhan Wushuang, I am your opponent!" shouted Lei Bao as he came from behind. Lightning swirled around him as though he was a god of lightning. He looked incredibly domineering and mighty as he brought his pair of hammers down at Zhan Wushuang, releasing numerous lightning tendrils at the same time.
A smile formed on Baili Yixiao's face as he said, "Why don't the both of you help sharpen my sword?"
And then, Baili Yixiao waved both his arms, forming two astonishingly powerful sword energies with his fingers. The sharp sword energies promptly sliced the fist and lightning energies into nothingness. Baili Yixiao looked like he hadn't even broken a sweat doing so.
Right after that, Zhan Wushuang and Lei Bao unleashed a barrage of even stronger attacks at him. A smile hung on Baili Yixiao's face. Even his sword started shaking as though it had turned incomparably excited.
"Finally, things are getting interesting," said Baili Yixiao as he finally drew his sword.
Thus, the three freaks engaged in an intense battle, filling the gorge with fatal shockwaves that forced even more disciples to flee. However, the fleeing disciples did not stop fighting after escaping. Rather, they continued fighting each other, targeting those who had gotten some treasures from the gorge.
As for Han Chenfei, she was one of the freak disciples. However, she discovered that a rather wide gap had formed between her and the top freaks, causing her to feel somewhat sullen. Inwardly, she thought, Looks like I haven't trained enough. Although I have improved decently, people are starting to catch up to me. If this continues, I will be left far behind them. I can't accept this! I need to catch up with them!
She then left without any hesitation, heading toward the blood devil vine. Most people only knew the blood devil vine as a devilish plant. Few were aware that the roots of this plant contained a rich life force. If one could dig out its roots, one would be able to greatly boost the power of one's bloodline. At the same time, one's cultivation talent would also greatly improve.
Han Chenfei knew of this. Thus, she decided to take the risk to try killing the blood devil vine. However, she was not the only one aware of its properties. Young Master Ghost Gui Mochou was also greatly interested in the vine.
