On the other hand, Mo Wen had left Intentionless Sect not too long ago. Taking the lead, Chen Wuhui led five Sect Elders, along with Chen Zikuang and Chen Zi, out of Intentionless City together. Their horses did not stop at all as they rushed over to Tan Zi Beast Lair.
At the moment, it was like the calm before the storm in the Flame Barren Savage Lands. Along the way, there were masters springing up everywhere.
In the sky, a line of people from Purple Qi Sect was trying to fly towards the sound of battle. Very quickly, they saw a number of bloodied bodies of monstrous beasts strewn on the floor. The surrounding trees had also suffered rather serious damage.
In the central region, a flat area with a radius of 300 meters, there seemed to be a very frightening power at work.
There were two people, one male and one female, standing on that piece of deserted ground as they stared silently at each other. The guy had a long sword in his hand and his expression was cold. There were stains of blood on the sword. Nobody knew if it was his own blood or that of others.
The guy was a middle-aged man. However, the woman that he was faced with was just a young lady. However, it seemed as though the middle-aged man was not doing so well. His face was pale and the hand which held the long sword was trembling slightly. Even his gaze was shaky as he looked at the young lady.
She was dressed fully in black. Her figure was charming and it could even be described as hot. She was curvy in the right places. Her entire being exuded wildness, as if she was a wild cat.
“If I am not wrong, you must be one of the four great talents of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, Yin Banshuang, right?” The middle-aged man pursed his lips. His gaze was fixed on the lady in black. A proper Sect Elder of a major sect like him, who was a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner, might actually lose to such a young girl. This was not usually possible.
It seemed as though such a girl had never appeared in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension before. If one had to guess who she was, it would have to be the only female in the four great talents of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, Yin Banshuang. Only Yin Banshuang had such abilities. A few years ago, she was just a fake Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. Within a few years, she had already broken through into the Golden Elixir realm.
“You do have a good eye.” On the opposite side, the lady in black had an unaffected expression as she calmly glanced over at the middle-aged man.
“Lady Yin, you have no grudge against me. Can we just leave things at that? I am the unworthy Lu Yinglu, Sect Elder of Liujian Sect.” The eyes of the middle-aged man narrowed. Indeed, other than Yin Banshuang, there were no other girls in that generation who would have such abilities. If it was Yin Banshuang alone, he would not have been so fearful. After all, he was also a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner himself. However, Yin Banshuang was not of a simple origin. She was a disciple of the Five Beasts Sect. One could imagine her great foundation simply with her sect being the very first one in Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Hence, it was not a smart move to offend Yin Banshuang.
However, he was not too worried. Liujian Sect was also quite a major sect. In the Qingli District, they could be ranked amongst the top three positions. Now that Sacred Flame Sect had collapsed, Liujian Sect had the ability to fight to be the head of the district. Yin Banshuang should not want to offend Liujian Sect as well just because of some trivial issues.
“If I said that I will kill you, I will definitely do it. Go and die.” Yin Banshuang simply looked at Lu Yinglu expressionlessly. Then, she pounced towards him.
“You… are you even being reasonable here?” Lu Yinglu’s expression changed drastically. Subconsciously, he took two steps backward. He had long heard that Yin Banshuang was wild and did not think much before acting. She simply followed her heart when doing things. Now that he had witnessed it, she was indeed just as people had described her to be.
The Five Beasts Sect was indeed influential and nobody dared to offend them. However, nobody usually killed a Sect Elder of a major sect. It would create a great enmity between the sects.
Beforehand, when the people from Liujian Sect were walking in the Flame Barren Savage Land, he had taken the lead. In the end, one of the disciples who did not know the complications of the world had offended Yin Banshuang by commenting on her good looks. Not only had he gotten himself into deep trouble, he had also dragged that team from Liujian Sect down with him.
This Yin Banshuang was simply a crazy woman. It was not enough for her to kill just one person. She had actually planned to kill them all. She was absolutely unreasonable. In a battle, this woman treated everyone as her enemy. Not only had she injured the boy, she had even killed the disciples of Liujian Sect. Now, she was not even letting him off.
“Yin Banshuang, you have killed so many people from my Liujian Sect. No matter how great our enmity is, we should now be even. You had better think properly before you act,” the middle-aged man said a little furiously. He received a fist from Yin Banshuang which sent him back seven to eight steps. Clearly, he was no match for her.
Yin Banshuang was a disciple of the Five Beasts Sect, in which she Cultivated the Tiger Divine Power. During battles, she was just like a ferocious tiger and her strength was exceptional. Ancient martial art practitioners who Cultivated the Tiger Divine Power would compare favorably with ancient martial art practitioners of the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm when they were just of the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm.
Roar! Yin Banshuang did not care about Lu Yinglu at all. Her nimble body flew up when she jumped and she looked to the sky, letting out a long and loud cry that was just like a tiger’s roar. The sound was so loud even deaf people would be able to hear it. It had the power of the king of beasts. Even ten miles away, one was able to feel the pressure of a king.
A figure of a tiger appeared on Yin Banshuang’s body. It was a huge white tiger. Yin Banshuang was half human half animal. It looked as though she had become a Beastman. She was usually only 1.7 meters tall. All of a sudden, she had grown to more than three meters tall.
There was chaos in the air. Then, Yin Banshuang appeared in front of Lu Yinglu in the blink of an eye. Her speed was so fast that it was unbelievable. Lu Yinglu had just begun to react when a fist struck him, sending him flying.
Oof! The power in the punch was shocking. It had almost knocked out an ancient martial art practitioner with the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm. Lu Yinglu’s chest had concaved an inch and blood started to seep out, staining his clothes.
“Yin Banshuang, you are very powerful and I do admit that. However, you had better hope that we do not meet again. If not, I will definitely get back at you for today.” Lu Yinglu knew that he could not stay there any longer or he would soon die at the hands of this crazy women. After attempting to warn her with some vicious words, he did not think twice before turning to escape. He was no match for Yin Banshuang. However, if he wanted to escape now, Yin Banshuang would not be able to stop him either.
“You can’t run.” Yin Banshuang’s lips curled up into a cold smile. Her hands clasped together as a pair of glimmering, brightly-colored claw gloves appeared in her hands. Those claw gloves were shining and the five sharp claws looked like five invincible sharp swords. Simply looking at it would send cold shivers down one’s spine.
A spiritual stone also appeared. There was a faint spiritual light softly shining on Yin Banshuang’s body. That was not the inner Qi possessed by an ancient martial art practitioner. Instead, it was the spiritual power that only an ImLu Yinglumortal Cultivator had.
“What! How can you possibly have a spiritual weapon?” Lu Yinglu had begun running and now felt some odd aura from behind him. He quickly turned to look and after seeing the brightly-colored claw gloves in Yin Banshuang’s hands, he started to scream, as if he had seen a ghost.
Yin Banshuang actually had spiritual weapons with her. That was something that he had never imagined. After all, things like spiritual weapons were absolute treasures in the Five Beasts Sect. Why would they possibly give it to others so easily?
Liujian Sect only had a single sect-protecting spiritual weapon. However, even the sect leader did not use it lightly. Only when the sect was in huge trouble or it was a matter of life and death would the weapon be used.
A valiant figure drifted through the air. In the blink of an eye, it appeared behind the Lu Yinglu. Closely after, there was a bunch of colorful lights that shone down on the Liujian Sect Elder.
“No!” Lu Yinglu, who was still attempting to escape, could only cry out pitifully. Then, he was completely covered in the colorful light as it drowned his cries.
As the lights faded away, the body of the Liujian Sect Elder could be seen in pieces on the ground. It was as though he had been scratched by a huge animal claw, such that the five sharp claws had directly torn him into pieces.
There was a flash and Mo Wen appeared, riding on his Flaming Dragon Colt. He had arrived in time to witness the scene caused by the spiritual weapon. An ancient martial art practitioner with the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm had died so horribly under the power of a spiritual weapon.
“Very powerful.” A look of surprise flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. Not only did that young girl have the Cultivation of the Golden Elixir realm, she also had very strong fighting abilities. She far surpassed the usual skill level of an ancient martial art practitioner with the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm. He was afraid that she was actually on par with the Great Elder of Intentionless Sect already.
The woman was so young, looking as though she was slightly over 20 years of age. Even if her identity as an ancient martial art practitioner was considered, her actual age would only be just above 30 years old. She should be about the same age as Demoness Gong. With such a Cultivation, she was definitely a talent amongst talents.
The people who had arrived at the Purple Qi Pavillion at the same time as Mo Wen had also witnessed the scene. There was a bloody smell lingering in the forest and other than the corpses of beasts in the surrounding, there were also those belonging to about tens of people.
“No wonder, it is Yin Banshuang.” Above the huge birds, Wu Feng squinted his eyes. He was very familiar with the woman below. They had fought each other many times before. Moreover, people had often compared them to each other. Naturally, he could not have mistaken her identity.
“Sect senior brother, she has actually broken into the Golden Elixir realm already.” Meng Tiantian blinked her eyes. She could recognize Yin Banshuang’s Cultivation at a glance. Although she was still young, she was a talent and was already of the Qi Nucleation realm. Even though she was unable to straightaway deduce that the woman had the Cultivation of the Golden Elixir realm solely from her judgment, she was still able to work out that fact from other clues.
She stuck her tongue out. Yin Banshuang had actually broken into the Golden Elixir realm already. It seemed as though it would be a little difficult for sect senior brother to surpass her again this time. Yin Banshuang was renowned for being fierce. When being compared to men, she refused to step down. Hence, she became the idol for all the female ancient martial art practitioners in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
“I see that Pavillion Leader Ye Rong has graced us with her presence. I, Banshuang, have been too disrespectful.” Yin Banshuang had naturally noticed that there were a few unusual guests in the sky and on the ground. Yin Banshuang had simply glanced across at Mo Wen. Then she shifted her gaze to the sky. She had lost the ferocity from before as she took a bow.
“Banshuang, you are indeed a major disciple of the Five Beasts Sect. I am afraid that in no time at all, you will be able to surpass our generation.” Pavillion Leader Ye Rong of the Purple Qi Pavillion nodded her head. The eight major powers in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension would often bump into one another. On the surface, they all gave due respect with regards to the level of seniority. If it had been before, when Chen Zikuang had met with the Sacred Flame Sect Leader, Zhu Lanhuo, he would have to address him as ‘senior’. That was because in terms of seniority, Zhu Lanhuo and Chen Wuhui were of the same generation.
Of course, no matter how courteous they were on the surface, they were still as ferocious as ever internally. The eight major powers were not as harmonious as they appeared to be on the surface. It was very normal for there to be conflicts. It was just that they had not gone all out before.
