What!
The masters of Qingcheng Mountain and the other two were instantly startled.
It turned out that their secret ambush had all been discovered by the descendant of King Mo.
Yet, the three of them hadn't noticed the other party's presence at all.
Could it be...
That the strength of all three of them was superior to theirs?
Thinking of this.
Xiao Zhan and the master of Qingcheng Mountain exchanged glances, seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Tonight, it would likely be a fierce battle.
"Were the disciples of my Qingcheng Mountain killed by you three?" the master of Qingcheng Mountain asked in a deep voice.
"Heh, since you used the green boxes to lure us, why are you still asking such a question?" the leading black-clothed man chuckled.
Boom!
Upon hearing this, the master of Qingcheng Mountain's internal Yuan Qi surged outwards uncontrollably, his entire being radiating killing intent!
"It really was you! Today, I shall avenge the tragic deaths of my Qingcheng Mountain disciples!"
With that, the master of Qingcheng Mountain initiated the attack.
The terrifying power swept across the scene, exuding an imposing aura.
In the darkness.
The Yuan Qi emanating from him flickered with a faint light.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan smiled.
It seemed his guess was correct, this usually low-profile old man had also broken through.
This was even better, at least Xiao Zhan's pressure would be lessened.
"Protect yourself. Their strength will be far greater than yours. Don't engage them head-on; just hold on until reinforcements arrive," Xiao Zhan instructed, then charged towards one of the black-clothed men.
Qing Niu Dao Ren nodded solemnly.
Although his injuries had all healed.
He was only at the late stage of the Hunyuan Realm.
These three black-clothed men were clearly no longer in the Hunyuan Realm.
Qing Niu Dao Ren was naturally extremely vigilant and unleashed his strongest offensive techniques!
"Moo!"
Qing Niu Dao Ren immediately used a martial skill.
Qing Niu Charge!
Instantly, a green ox formed from Yuan Qi charged towards the last black-clothed man.
"Heh, a mantis trying to stop a chariot, a mere Hunyuan Realm cultivator, how laughable!" the black-clothed man sneered.
The black Yuan Qi within him erupted fiercely.
Compared to his elder brothers, the pressure on his side was the least.
Facing someone whose cultivation realm was lower than his, capturing the opponent was naturally not a problem.
Boom!
Instantly, the Yuan Qi green ox collided head-on with the fist shadow condensed from black Yuan Qi, but it had no effect.
The corrosive power of the black Yuan Qi continuously gnawed at the green ox, eventually shattering it into pieces.
The black-clothed man followed closely, stomping on the ground, and charged directly at Qing Niu Dao Ren.
This!
Qing Niu Dao Ren's expression changed drastically.
His Qing Niu Charge had failed once again, defeated so utterly.
Qing Niu Dao Ren had expected the opponent to be strong, but he hadn't anticipated them to be this powerful.
This Qing Niu Charge, which had repeatedly achieved great success for him, had recently suffered consecutive setbacks.
It had been easily defeated by Zhang Yang.
And it was still no match for the descendant of King Mo!
"Muddy Ox Enters the Sea!"
Qing Niu Dao Ren shouted loudly, unleashing his most potent martial skill for sustained combat.
Instantly.
Waves of Yuan Qi, like rolling tides.
They continuously struck the black-clothed man, finally halting his offensive momentum.
"Interesting, this martial skill is extraordinary. It must have been developed by Qing Wang Mu, right?" the black-clothed man asked with some surprise.
The black Yuan Qi within him surged out, covering everything, resisting the impact of the Muddy Ox Enters the Sea martial skill.
His own cultivation realm was already one level higher than Qing Niu Dao Ren's.
To be controlled by the opponent at this moment could only mean that this martial skill was not simple.
Therefore, the black-clothed man boldly concluded that it must have been developed by Qing Wang Mu.
"This martial skill requires a lot of Yuan Qi support, doesn't it? I'd like to see how long you can last," the black-clothed man sneered, then slowly approached Qing Niu Dao Ren without haste.
At the same time.
The battles on the other two fronts were equally fierce.
The master of Qingcheng Mountain's heart was already filled with hatred, and he held nothing back in his attacks.
Every time he waved his sleeve, those faint glowing Yuan Qi currents would dispel the black Yuan Qi.
He himself chose the simplest and most brutal close-quarters combat, aiming to quickly defeat the opponent.
However, the leading black-clothed man fighting the master of Qingcheng Mountain was the eldest brother among the three, and his strength was much more formidable!
His cultivation realm was on par with the master of Qingcheng Mountain, and in terms of Yuan Qi, the master of Qingcheng Mountain was even weaker.
Fortunately, the master of Qingcheng Mountain had a solid foundation and possessed numerous martial skills, allowing him to suppress the opponent.
Boom!
The two collided fiercely once more.
The master of Qingcheng Mountain retreated dozens of steps, barely managing to stop himself.
The black-clothed man, on the other hand, hit the corner of a building before stabilizing himself.
"Interesting, Black Annual Ring!" the black-clothed man sneered.
He continuously performed hand seals in front of his chest, drawing circles.
Instantly, black Yuan Qi condensed at his chest, and a black and white annual ring appeared.
"Azure Bird Nirvana!" Sensing the terrifying destructive aura emanating from the annual ring, the master of Qingcheng Mountain quickly unleashed a powerful martial skill.
Instantly.
An azure phoenix appeared, letting out a sharp cry, and charged directly at the annual ring.
In an instant.
The strange light emanating from the black annual ring shone upon the azure bird, causing the once vibrant bird to become listless.
However, with the infusion of Yuan Qi from the master of Qingcheng Mountain, the azure bird's fiery spirit seemed to be reborn like a phoenix, its speed becoming extremely fast, and its beak pecked directly at the center of the annual ring.
However.
The black annual ring suddenly shrunk considerably, evading the azure bird's peck, and then vanished into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, it reappeared behind the young man.
Bang!
The black annual ring directly struck, shattering the azure bird.
The flames on the young man's body reignited, burning the black annual ring to ashes as well.
This time, both sides ended in a draw.
But, this was just the beginning.
Their eyes narrowed, and they once again channeled their Yuan Qi, charging at each other to begin a new round of confrontation.
...
Xiao Zhan's situation was equally intense.
Although he had no enmity with the descendant of King Mo, he had his own objective on this trip.
The Emperor had given instructions.
If there was an opportunity, they must capture a descendant of King Mo alive today and ascertain their true strength.
Investigate their true intentions and what they were.
Why they attacked the Five Dragons of China, and why they attacked Qingcheng Mountain.
Instantly.
Xiao Zhan's right arm bulged with veins, his entire right arm enveloped in Yuan Qi, and he unleashed a powerful punch.
The black-clothed man sneered disdainfully, quickly retreated several steps, and channeled black Yuan Qi to form a protective shield for defense.
However.
The black-clothed man had still underestimated Xiao Zhan's explosive power.
He was known as the God of War of China, and his short-term explosive power was something even the Emperor feared.
When Xiao Zhan's fist struck the black barrier, a cracking sound was heard, and the black barrier shattered.
Xiao Zhan's fist shot towards the opponent's chest. If this punch landed, the opponent would pay the price for his earlier carelessness.
However.
At this moment, an accident occurred.
