Chapter 235: Confrontation at Longshan
As soon as Feng Yu's voice fell, everyone rushed towards Longshan.
Among them, the fastest were naturally the four from Feng Yu. Not only had they received recognition from Law, but they had also crossed the barrier from the Fourth Stage to the Fifth Stage, allowing them to use their domains to fly using Yukong. In a flash of light, the four of them disappeared from their original spot and sped away into the distance.
Following closely were over fifty elites from Wings of Wind Continent. Although they were all at the Fourth Stage, they cultivated wind-based powers and could fly using Yukong even without a domain. More than fifty of them took to the air simultaneously, soaring in semi-Void with an impressive momentum.
At that moment, as the fifty-plus members of Wings of Wind Continent took off, over twenty elites from Thick Earth Continent plunged directly downward, vanishing into the earth without a trace. Meanwhile, twenty Dark Swordsmen from Dark Continent transformed into shadows and disappeared into the forest.
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred Young Powerhouses vanished without a trace, and the once ordinary Kaiji Mountain returned to its previous tranquility, as if these outsiders from Nine Continents Mainland had never existed.
Within a towering peak in Longshan, three men and one woman sat cross-legged at separate spots while maintaining an appropriate distance from each other. Suddenly, as if they shared a connection, all four opened their eyes simultaneously, their piercing gazes flashing briefly. These four were none other than the persistent warriors.
"A strong presence is approaching!" Fire Cloud from Flame Continent said with a serious expression, his scorching voice echoing in everyone's ears. Several faces among them also showed signs of gravity.
"At least a hundred!"
As one of the strong figures from Green Forest Continent, Lü Qin had a far deeper understanding of Wood Elemental Law than her brother Lü Lin. Although she sat there quietly, she could easily sense information transmitted by plants within dozens of miles. As long as she focused on scouting, nothing nearby could escape her perception.
"The people from Thunder Continent cannot gather so many strong individuals in such a short time. It seems that those from Wings of Wind Continent are coming. Although they have descended into Qi Kingdom territory, Qi Kingdom is adjacent to Zhao Kingdom. Since they are still coming here, it appears our speculation was indeed correct; Tang Yuexi is still hiding within Longshan and has not escaped. It's just unfortunate that we have yet to find her and Sun Zhe's hiding place."
Zhan slowly stood up and gazed into the distance with deep eyes before speaking softly. For a moment, both Lü Qin and Fire Cloud couldn't help but show some coldness on their faces.
Thunder Abyss remained seated calmly, appearing completely unconcerned. He had no particular allegiance; his assistance to Zhan was merely due to a transaction between them. As for his own stance, he did not care much about it. Unlike others, he was a Descendant of the Thunder God; his ambition was to enhance his strength until he could truly grow into a Thunder God.
"Since they are leading the way for us, we can save ourselves from aimless searching. I want to see how they can protect that woman!" Zhan's gaze turned cold as he spoke slowly, a glint of icy determination flashing in his black eyes.
"In that case, we should not delay any longer. Let's each recall our subordinates; I have long wanted to meet the Wind God Twin Killers from Wings of Wind Continent," Fire Cloud grinned widely, revealing his white teeth. This did not convey any friendliness; instead, it made his dark face appear even more ferocious.
As soon as the words fell, the four figures simultaneously disappeared from their original spots, each going to summon their subordinates. Of course, Thunder Abyss followed after Zhan; it was not that his strength or status was inferior to Zhan's, but according to the deal he made with Zhan, his task was simply to act as a muscle.
About a stick of incense later, the four of them appeared on a plain outside Longshan. Zhan, dressed in a White Robe and carrying a Bronze Giant Sword, stood majestically. Thunder Abyss, with an air of nobility and arrogance, was surrounded by flames and exuded a violent aura. Fire Cloud radiated fierce energy, while the stunning woman Lü Qin perched atop a giant tree.
All four were hovering in half-Void, and beneath them stood nearly a hundred elites from three continents, most of whom were powerful figures from the Green Forest Continent and Flame Continent. After all, Zhan was acting alone and had only brought along a dozen direct subordinates; these individuals made up only a small portion of the crowd below.
"Are you all not going to reveal yourselves?"
Coldly gazing at the Void ahead, Zhan spoke slowly with his hands clasped behind his back.
"Hmph, Zhan, our last Competition doesn’t count. If you have the ability, come at me again without that Divine Weapon. Do you have the guts?"
As soon as Zhan finished speaking, the ground suddenly trembled as a massive yellow python rose from the solid earth. On its head stood a short human man—none other than Tu Tao from the Thick Earth Continent.
Gently stroking the giant python made of earth and stone below him, Tu Tao's face flashed with pride; he seemed quite satisfied with his dramatic entrance. Seeing Zhan hovering in mid-air, he immediately placed his hands on his hips and began to curse loudly. With his status and strength, he was used to having things go his way everywhere except here with Zhan; naturally, he harbored deep resentment towards him.
"Your injuries healed quite quickly?"
Looking at the raucous Tu Tao with indifference, Zhan's eyes flickered as he spoke.
"Of course! Let me tell you, I brought nearly a hundred bottles of Superior Elixir to Nine Continents Mainland this time. I only took one True Earth Spirit Pill for my injuries; they are nothing to me now. In my current state, I could fight for another two hundred rounds without issue. You can all come at me together; I can handle it alone," Tu Tao boasted arrogantly as he patted his chest.
Watching this incredibly arrogant scoundrel before him, although they knew he was on par with them in strength, Fire Cloud and the others couldn't help but frown. Especially Thunder Abyss, who considered himself of noble bloodline; disdain flashed across his face.
"Zhan, Sister Tang is our Wind God Sect's saintess. We must rescue her. We hope you will step aside voluntarily and not force us to take action."
In a flash of light and shadow beside Tu Tao appeared two more White Figures—Feng Yu and Feng Ling, siblings born of the same bloodline. Being top-tier powerhouses themselves, when they stood together their equally fierce auras seemed to merge into one terrifying presence that pressed down upon everyone.
The overwhelming aura roared like a suddenly awakened dragon; the gray energy surged toward them fiercely. The faces of Zhan and his three companions suddenly tightened as they involuntarily trembled slightly. Although they had long known about the siblings' strength, experiencing it firsthand made them realize that the rumors were indeed true.
"The Wind God Twin Killers are indeed formidable!"
Fire Cloud's gaze flickered, and he spoke in a hoarse voice. As he spoke, a piercing light flashed in his crimson eyes, and red flames surged around him. Within these red flames, faint blue glimmers could be seen, which contained an incredibly terrifying power.
Ancient records state that the power of flames has three forms: red, blue, and white. However, the transition between any of these stages is exceedingly difficult. The so-called blazing white flame is an almost nonexistent entity; some Cultivators spend their entire lives only reaching the first stage. Yet Fire Cloud has clearly grasped a hint of the second stage's transformation, indicating his profound understanding of the Law of flames.
"Hmph, you have such strong momentum; do you think we are afraid of you?" Coldly gazing at the crowd opposite her, Lu Qin's beautiful face flashed with a hint of Killing Intent, and she spoke without reservation. As she did so, a wave of green aura radiated from her body, causing the giant tree beneath her to grow wildly in response to this green energy.
"Since they won't back down, let's take action!"
A chilling voice suddenly echoed in the half Void, resonating in everyone's minds simultaneously. A cold wind swept through, causing everyone present to squint slightly. Under their watchful eyes, a man cloaked in black robes appeared in mid-air, his icy aura enveloping the area and casting a shadow over everything.
"Yin Wuqie!" Upon seeing this black-robed man's appearance, the expressions of those present changed dramatically, their eyes flashing with alarm. It is well known that while the people from the Dark Continent may not be the strongest in the eight realms, they are undoubtedly the most difficult to deal with due to their elusive methods.
Just moments after Yin Wuqie appeared, yellow figures surged from the ground. Amidst swirling yellow dust, over twenty powerful individuals from the Thick Earth Continent arrived. Shadows flickered among the trees as two Twenty Dark Swordsmen from the Dark Continent joined forces. More than fifty powerful individuals from the Wings of Wind Continent rushed in from half Void, creating an overwhelming pressure.
In the blink of an eye, powerful figures from three continents had gathered on this plain. They looked at the warriors blocking their path with eyes flashing coldly and an astonishing battle intent surging throughout their bodies.
The numerous powerful beings from six continents converged here, their heavy momentum shaking the ground and enveloping hundreds of miles in terrifying pressure. A great battle was about to erupt!
