687: Chapter 213_8 687: Chapter 213_8 Overwhelming combat will surged from within him, at this moment he seemed like a war god who had stepped out of the Ancient Era, brandishing his long blade as the giant hammer smashed down fiercely.
With this one hammer strike, he used up all his strength, even his mana was completely drained, converging above the giant hammer.
Upon impact, the air in front of him exploded suddenly, forming a gigantic vacuum!
As the giant hammer fell, it was as if the earth itself had flipped over, carrying a force that seemed capable of shattering the void, smashing towards the downward strike of Yan Yourong’s blade.
However, in the next instant, his pupils suddenly contracted.
His giant hammer had just made contact with Yan Yourong’s long blade when he felt as though his hammer had sunk into a quagmire, becoming impossibly heavy.
Following that, a dense wooden force assaulted him, as if numerous wild grasses were spreading over his hammer, absorbing all the earthy energy within it.
Wood overcomes earth!
The energy gathered in his hammer was of the earth element, and now that the opponent’s wood element had disrupted his earth energy, the force of his strike was greatly diminished.
Immediately after, streaks of running water surged forth, dragging his now weaker hammer towards the side.
The giant hammer deviated and fell towards an empty space, while Yan Yourong’s long blade continued its course unchanged, chopping towards his chest.
Atop the long blade were intense flames and a fearsome sharpness.
His body was about to be severed in two by the blade.
Suddenly, a sinister, murky, and bizarre aura arose beside him.
A pitch-black halberd appeared out of nowhere, its blade slicing through the air as if a crescent moon was plummeting from the night sky.
Unlike the bright moon wielded by Star Lord Hao Yue, this crescent was filled with strangeness and shadow, yet exuded an overbearing presence.
The halberd collided with the Grieving Anger Dragon Blade, and the impact resonated like the collision of two mountains.
Sparks flew from where halberd and blade met, igniting the grass on the ground.
The Eclipse Demon has made his move!
After the hit, the earth shook and the sky seemed to collapse, sun and moon went dark!
A massive wave of Qi surged outwards from where Yan Yourong and he stood, obliterating everything in its path – the giant stones, the fallen trees from previous battles, the wild grass, all turned into dust.
Under the force of the lingering energy, several nearby disciples of the East Sea Mirage Towers were directly blown back, coughing up mouthfuls of bright red blood.
Even though they were in the Golden Core Stage, they had only just entered it.
They too were injured by the aftershocks of the battle between two Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Core great perfectionists.
If those at the Core Formation Stage were caught in these aftershocks, they could be gravely injured or even killed outright!
This was one of the reasons why, during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, masters at the peak of Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection were so crucial.
After the clash of attacks, Yan Yourong staggered back three steps, while the Eclipse Demon was sent flying backward, traveling over thirty feet before stabilizing himself and absorbing the immense force of that blade strike.
His face was extremely solemn.
Strong!
This Yan Yourong was terrifyingly strong!
Because of the Grand Preceptor, he didn’t go to the Town Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s Immortal Sect martial arts tournament for fear of being discovered.
Despite his wishes, he had ultimately abstained.
But he had seen Yan Yourong’s battles!
He had watched them through Shadow Stones—unknowingly to others, the largest gambling house in the Town Immortal Imperial Dynasty, Tongbao Gambling House, was backed by the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, which even the Grand Preceptor didn’t know!
People of Tongbao Gambling House, in order to place bets, normally used Shadow Stones to imprint scenes of the martial arts tournament, and nobody suspected a thing.
So, he had seen Yan Yourong’s battles through the Shadow Stones provided by Tongbao Gambling House.
He was absolutely certain that Yan Yourong was not this powerful before!
The Yan Yourong before him, he even felt, was not the slightest bit weaker than Ling Xi back then.
The strength that Yan Yourong had previously shown was already at the very peak of the Golden Core Stage.
It was impossible for her to have improved so much in such a short time.
Therefore, Yan Yourong must have been holding back.
With such a Yan Yourong, if Tang Yushuang had not been injured, and with the combined strength of the three of them, he wouldn’t have been sure of victory.
But now, Tang Yushuang was injured, and she couldn’t execute the Combined Attack Technique with Wen Zhanyan.
Meanwhile, the other two from their side who were at the Great Perfection of Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core had gone to attack Liè Yàn.
The Eclipse Demon looked at the two being suppressed by Liè Yàn in the distance and cursed in his heart.
Now, they had come together to attack Hundred Peaks Sect, but those from the three Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty were still playing their own games.
From the direction of Hundred Peaks Sect, Wu Xiang who had left the Mountain Protection Array after it was breached and moved from the Formation Eye’s position to the front of the mountain and watched Yan Yourong alone defeat three opponents.
He felt relieved, discarding the slight dissatisfaction he had felt because the Peak Master had bestowed Divine Skills upon Yan Yourong.
He now felt immensely grateful that the Peak Master of Five Elements Peak had passed their ultimate techniques to Yan Yourong.
If not for her strength, Yan Yourong would not have been able to defeat three opponents in a row.
Yet still, the situation facing Hundred Peaks Sect remained dire.
Their opponents were too many.
Nearly nine hundred at the Golden Core Stage.
