Chapter 793: Chapter 416: Slaying Xuezhi, A Name that Shook the Nine Mountain Realm_2
Layer upon layer of mountains and rivers emerged, within them, the people held swords as they cut down.
The Imperishable Sword Intent merged with the mountains and rivers, blessing them, and even a Golden Giant Dragon roared.
In that instant, Xu Yan unleashed his full power, integrating effects like Mountains and Rivers in the Sword, Supreme Heavenly Sword, True Dragon Rage, Imperishable Sword Intent, along with Martial Arts Physiognomy into his attack.
Such an array of powerful Divine Skills stacked upon each other, clashed fiercely against the strike from Xuezhi Mo in a flash, impacting each other.
Xuezhi Mo was greatly shocked. Xu Yan had actually blocked his strike?
Moreover, what he found inconceivable was that the image of the mountains and rivers, though collapsing, was looming over, and even he was on the fringe of it.
"Hmph!"
Xuezhi Mo snorted coldly, his blood-colored blade light grew even more dazzling. His aura surged as he raised his hand and slashed forward, carving through the mountains and rivers, through the Golden Giant Dragon, continuously advancing towards Xu Yan.
And in that moment, he found himself entwined by Xu Yan's attack.
Although it only entangled him for a brief one or two breaths, it already highlighted the terrifying strength of Xu Yan, who was not an Immortal Heavenly Venerable.
If they were of the same realm, Xuezhi Mo did not dare to imagine that he might be easily slain by his opponent!
The blade light was nearing Xu Yan closer and closer, blood gushing from Xu Yan's mouth, seemingly on the verge of collapse, a cold smile emerged on the corner of Xuezhi Mo's lips.
Boom!
Suddenly, an overbearingly unstoppable aura manifested behind him.
It was as if a terrifying giant, holding up the heavens, came crashing down!
"This is bad!"
Xuezhi Mo's face changed, he let out a low roar, attempting to dodge, to defend, and at that moment, a ray of light shined from Xu Yan's brow.
Already entangled by the force of Xu Yan, at the moment the light shone, Xuezhi Mo felt his strength slow down for an instant.
That brief one or two breaths were sufficient to change the outcome!
In a critical moment, he managed just in time to conjure a layer of blood-colored shield-light, desiring to withstand this strike!
Boom!
The ferociously violent attack collided with his body, his flesh cracking and collapsing, what terrified him was that the strike seemed to pinpoint the weak points of his physical body, all its power aimed at shattering it.
It was as though the one who struck possessed an unbelievable understanding of the physical body.
Spurt!
He couldn't help vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood.
"To kill..."
Xuezhi Mo's expression twisted, looking mad, and at this moment, a glint of cold light surfaced.
A Long Spear emitting a cold gleam came stabbing with an unmatched killing force.
Just as Xuezhi Mo was slightly recovering, preparing to fend off this spear thrust, he was horrified to realize that this spear was not what the eye could see, but what the Divine Soul could perceive!
It was a thrust aimed at the Divine Soul!
Hum!
In Xuezhi Mo's Divine Soul, a layer of blood film appeared, enveloping his Divine Soul—this was the only and inherited Divine Soul Defense Technique prepared for entering the Nine Mountain Realm.
Spurt!
However, the blood film was like paper, pierced by the spear into his Divine Soul, a massive wound appeared, and the place where the spear pierced seemed to be dissolving his Divine Soul.
An unprecedented severe pain surged, the intense agony of the Divine Soul caused his eyes to bulge and emit a piercing scream, all his reactionary means froze in that instant.
Even though, deep in his consciousness, a strong crisis emerged, telling himself that danger, fatal danger, was present and he must respond despite the pain.
But how could he react to such an immediate crisis with pain he had never experienced before?
Whoosh!
A violent wind blew once more across his Divine Soul, tearing at it, and in this moment, another brutal force fell once again, crashing into his already crumbling physical body, whilst his Divine Soul seemed to have lost all support.
Spurt!
In the last moment, Xuezhi Mo saw Meng Chong, looming like a giant, and a young spearsman with an eerily peculiar aura as if it countered the Divine Soul.
He saw the black blade light that Xu Yan cut down with, extinguishing everything!
In this moment, he suddenly understood.
It was Xu Yan and the other two who had slain that Immortal Heavenly Venerable; they had laid an ambush to slay him!
Regret surged in his heart, he had been careless!
But, everything was too late!
Xuezhi Mo was dead!
Turned to dust!
Meng Chong gasped for breath, having launched consecutive strikes, assassinating the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, he was mentally strained and had exerted all his strength. The Heaven Lifting Earth Extinguishing Divine Skill, indeed, had a huge toll on him.
Even Xu Yan was slightly out of breath at this moment.
Xuezhi Mo's blade strike was extremely powerful and dominant; Xu Yan had to go all out not only to block this strike but also to entangle Xuezhi Mo for a brief moment, creating an opportunity for Meng Chong to strike.
Jiang Buping's chest heaved, as he had expended a tremendous amount of his Extreme Soul Martial Arts power. Whether it was the assassination of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable or the slaying of Xuezhi Mo, he had given his all, unleashing the most powerful Divine Skills of Slaughter the Soul he had mastered to date.
It was also after the master's oral instruction and demonstration that he had come to comprehend these.
Divine Skills, Slaying the Divine!
"The Immortal Heavenly Venerable of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow has died, and Xuezhi Mo is also dead. It's time to leave Dahai Mountain,"
Xu Yan said in a heavy voice.
In the Nine Mountain Realm, the fall of an Immortal Heavenly Venerable and a Netherworld Blood Child, both killed by them, the two brothers, would cause turmoil throughout the entire Nine Mountain Realm when the news spread.
It's likely that Tian Shiqi can't sit still any longer and will have to take action personally.
With their current strength, they were definitely no match for Tian Shiqi. If they were to confront each other head-on, it wasn't certain that they could even kill an Immortal Heavenly Venerable.
This time, strongly prevailing over an Immortal Heavenly Venerable had provided a gratifying battle and some enlightenment and gains. It was time to digest these experiences.
"Let's go, to Spiritual Sovereign Mountain!"
Spiritual Sovereign Mountain, which had almost become Red Cat's territory, offered protection from Red Cat, ensuring their traces wouldn't be discovered by anyone.
The three brothers immediately set off for Spiritual Sovereign Mountain.
"Is that, the fall of Xuezhi?"
The Immortal Heavenly Venerable of Dahai Mountain sensed the fall of a being not weaker than the Immortal Realm."
Since it was not an Immortal Heavenly Venerable from the Divine Realm, it must have been Netherworld Blood Child.
How much time has passed since the fall of an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, and now another Blood Child has fallen?
Who could have done it?
At this moment, Wan Family's territory was far from calm.
"You're saying, Xu Yan and Meng Chong, along with another person, joined forces and killed the Immortal Heavenly Venerable?"
Looking at the two clan elders, the Immortal Heavenly Venerable of the Wan Family wore a face of disbelief.
"Yes, that Immortal Heavenly Venerable was killed by the three of them!"
In the expressions of the Wan Family elders, the color of shock still lingered, as if they were still in a dream.
"Such demons, truly, and thankfully, my Wan Family has a fairly good relationship with Xu Yan!"
At this moment, the Immortal Heavenly Venerable of the Wan Family felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Though it was three of them joining forces, it also showed how monstrous the three individuals were, simply unimaginable.
If they were matched in the same realm, wouldn't they be easily slain?
"The fallen one, could it be Xuezhi Mo?"
The Immortal Heavenly Venerable of the Wan Family thought of the Xuezhi Mo he had encountered on his way back to the family lands, who seemed to be heading towards the place where the Immortal Heavenly Venerable had fallen.
The standoff at Dahai Mountain's Immortal Heavenly Venerable had ended. The fall of an Immortal Heavenly Venerable in the Nine Mountain Realm was an earth-shattering event.
And immediately following that, the news came that the fallen Immortal Heavenly Venerable was from Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, who had died in an attempt to assassinate Xu Yan and Meng Chong but was counter-killed instead!
Xu Yan and Meng Chong, prevailing against an Immortal Heavenly Venerable!
As the news spread, the Nine Mountain Realm was shaken, and the names of Xu Yan and Meng Chong resounded throughout!
The Immortal Heavenly Venerables of Thousand Layered Mountain and Horizontal Peak Mountain had both retreated to their territories, their hearts trembling with fear. Xu Yan and Meng Chong were already capable of killing an Immortal Heavenly Venerable?
Too terrifying!
If he were to break through to the Immortal Realm, how fearsome would that be?
On Spiritual Sovereign Mountain, Red Cat, Yu Xiaolong, and Little Ha gathered together.
"Truly worthy of being our Demon Clan Supreme Sovereign!"
Red Cat exclaimed with prideful admiration.
Yu Xiaolong and Little Ha nodded in agreement.
Horizontal Peak Mountain.
"Xu Yan and Meng Chong, they must not be left alive!"
Tian Shiqi stood up in shock.
Behind him stood a man wearing a Seven-leaf Ferocious Mask.
"My lord, Xu Yan and Meng Chong can kill even an Immortal Heavenly Venerable; none of the Heavenly Slaughter are their match. Even if I were to act, there might be danger,"
Too frightening.
If killing an Immortal Heavenly Venerable could be considered a fluke, then the subsequent killing of Xuezhi Mo signified that Xu Yan and Meng Chong's victory was due to their significant strength.
Joining forces, they could even slay an Immortal Heavenly Venerable?
This was truly terrifying!
"Both Thousand Layered Mountain and Horizontal Peak Mountain have grudges against Xu Yan and Meng Chong. Now that Heavenly Grotto is quiet, the Immortal Heavenly Venerables do not need to stand guard there all the time and should be able to move about and take action."
Tian Shiqi said with a chilling gaze.
