Chapter 700 - 685: Chaotic Battle

Above the Sealed Demon Ruins, Scorpio Mo Qingwu and Asura King Zi You clashed several times.

With two Quasi-Emperor Martial Realm experts fighting, the sky seemed to erupt with one deafening thunderclap after another. The earth-shattering explosions were endless, making the ground shake and the void tremble!

Under the impact of these two powerful forces, the dilapidated hall completely collapsed.

Not only that, but an area four hundred meters out from the hall’s original location was completely leveled, reduced to nothing but rubble!

The unimaginable might of the two combatants and their all-consuming explosive power made the faces of everyone present pale.

And even in this situation, Asura King Zi You had yet to reveal himself!

He stayed far away, occasionally sending a palm strike or a fist attack in their direction.

To a Quasi-Emperor Martial Realm expert like Mo Qingwu, these attacks were trivial, but for the subordinates by his side, it was a complete nightmare.

If Mo Qingwu hadn’t stepped in to protect them, they would have long been buried in the ruins.

Upon discovering that Mo Qingwu was diverting some of his power to protect his underlings, Asura King Zi You immediately switched targets, sending fist after fist directly at Mo Qingwu’s men!

For a moment, the Sealed Demon Ruins were thrown into chaos, with rubble flying everywhere.

"You spineless coward! You don’t dare face me head-on, so you attack my subordinates instead? Is this the character of Asura King Zi You? Aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughingstock if word of this gets out?"

Mo Qingwu was fuming. With a furious roar, the clouds in the sky roiled, and a fierce wind began to blow!

"Junior, I was dominating the world when you were still in your mother’s womb. Who are you to comment on how I do things?"

Asura King Zi You’s voice echoed through the air. "You’re the one hiding like a coward in a turtle shell, refusing to come out and fight me, yet you have the audacity to call me spineless? How shameless!"

Mo Qingwu glanced at his subordinates. Seeing their grim expressions, a ruthless glint appeared in his eyes.

He understood that Asura King Zi You was trying to lure the tiger from the mountain, but the current situation was out of his hands. If Asura King Zi You continued like this, he could seize an opportunity to wipe out all of his men. Then Mo Qingwu would be alone and even harder to deal with.

Turning to look at Reincarnation Marquis on the cross, Mo Qingwu sneered. ’An Array personally set up by Master Zhulong is not something a few Quasi-Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses can break. And the Barrier created with the Candle Dragon Black Flame is even more terrifying—enough to completely incinerate any Quasi-Emperor Martial Realm expert who gets too close!’

’Even if I abandon Reincarnation Marquis here, unless the Eight Celestial Kings of the War God Hall come in person, there’s no way these remnants can break it!’

At this thought, Mo Qingwu abruptly whipped his long, black cloak behind him, and with a flicker, he vanished on the spot.

"All of you, guard this place! Be careful they don’t lure the tiger from the mountain. Since the Asura King wants to die, this seat will send him to his grave!"

His arrogant words still echoed in the air when a thunderous BOOM, like a meteor crashing to earth, erupted over a hundred *li* away.

The nearby Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi fell into chaos, making the scene feel unreal to everyone present.

Five Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses and over ten King Martial Realm experts, led by a white-haired man, stood guard in a tight circle outside the Barrier trapping Reincarnation Marquis, ready for battle!

At that very moment, wild laughter came from the sky as two Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses from the War God Hall descended!

Fast Sword Feng Han, and Heaven-Overturning Flood Dragon Liu Haojia!

The two showed no concern that their attacks might harm Naluo King, who was nailed to the cross. The moment they appeared, a sword and a spear launched a ferocious assault!

The sword was like a hurricane, the spear like a shooting star. The two combined, forming an unstoppable, destructive force that twisted down toward the crowd below!

"Homeless dogs, you dare act so brazenly!"

The white-haired man below snorted coldly, took a step forward, and raised his Trident to the sky!

At the same time, another man stepped out from the four Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses behind him. A green staff in his hand impassively enlarged and, along with the white-haired man’s Trident, met the attack from Feng Han and his companion!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Amid the massive explosions, four violent forces collided, raging wildly through the ruins and clashing relentlessly!

In this exchange, both sides were evenly matched, neither gaining an advantage!

However, the faces of the Demon God Hall members sank slightly. Everyone knew that both Feng Han and Liu Haojia had been seriously injured in the previous battle!

To fight two of their experts to a standstill while heavily injured, without any sign of defeat... in truth, the War God Hall had gained the upper hand in this exchange!

A fierce light flashed in the white-haired man’s eyes. He snorted and said, "Xiao Sen and I will go up and take care of these two. The rest of you, hold your positions. Don’t let them take advantage of the chaos!"

Just as the two of them ascended, dust and smoke billowed up from the right. Two opposing sensations, one of extreme cold and one of extreme heat, appeared at the same time!

In the air, an Ice and Fire Blade Qi slashed violently down at the remaining men!

"Knew there was another one!" The three remaining Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses’ expressions didn’t change as they spun around and attacked simultaneously!

A massive Sword Gang and Sword Qi instantly collided with the Ice and Fire Blade Qi, completely dissipating it!

"Hahahaha, Feng Han, you guys are shameless... You take one opponent each and leave me, Yan Bing, to fight three alone? That’s just bullying! This old man quits!"

Amid his great laughter, Yan Bing didn’t charge out from their right, but instead appeared on their left!

The three were stunned for just a moment. A phantom-like afterimage flashed past, and the three King Martial Realm experts standing nearby were decapitated!

And Yan Bing had actually passed right through the middle of the three Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses!

The three wanted to attack, but they were hesitant because of their own men. Moreover, Yan Bing was as slippery as an eel, making him impossible to pin down and strike!

"Damn it, this bastard is so fast!"

Having three King Martial Realm experts easily slain by Yan Bing right in front of them, the three Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses looked furious, their faces grim.

"This man is Yan Bing from the War God Hall! He cultivates the Ice and Fire Demon Saber and is as fast as lightning! Lock onto him with Divine Thought and trap him with the Three Talents Formation! Let’s see where he can run then!"

One of the three Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses roared. The three attacked at once, shooting out like meteors. In just a few leaps and bounds, they were in hot pursuit of Yan Bing!

At this time, a hundred *li* away, Asura King Zi You and Scorpio Mo Qingwu were fighting fiercely, shaking the heavens and the earth.

In the air, Feng Han and Liu Haojia each fought an opponent, their Divine Weapons clashing in the wind, stirring the clouds in the nine heavens.

On the ground, Yan Bing faced three enemies, but relied on his superior speed to cleverly evade their attacks and remain locked in a struggle with them.

But in terms of numbers, the War God Hall was at a complete disadvantage.

And no one could spare a hand to rescue Naluo King.

Even though Feng Han and Liu Haojia had a slight upper hand in the sky, repelling their two opponents in a short time seemed unrealistic.

And while Yan Bing was fast, facing the relentless pressure of three Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses, he was already starting to be overwhelmed...

Meanwhile, the twelve King Martial Realm experts couldn’t interfere in the battle between Emperor Martial Realm combatants and could only stand in a tight circle around the Barrier trapping Reincarnation Marquis.

While the world-shaking battle raged outside, Reincarnation Marquis remained motionless inside the Barrier, as if asleep, or perhaps gathering his strength.

Just then, a savage shriek came from beneath the ruins. A massive figure, over ten *zhang* tall, burst through the rubble and rock, soaring into the sky!

Duanmu Xie, clad in pitch-black Armor, flipped upside down in mid-air and slammed a fist down toward the ground!

The moment this colossal Zombie appeared, everyone, whether from the Demon God Hall or the War God Hall, froze in surprise, tensing up in alert. ’Where did this guy come from? Is he friend or foe?’

But the answer to that question was revealed almost immediately.

Duanmu Xie laughed maniacally as he threw three consecutive punches, easily forcing the three who were besieging Yan Bing to retreat step by step!

"It’s been ten thousand years! I haven’t had such a satisfying fight in ten thousand years! Hahahaha!"

Like a Demon God, Duanmu Xie swept his foot out, making the three Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses from the Demon God Hall cry out in misery!

"Holy crap, where did this helper come from? He’s so fierce!"

Yan Bing glanced over at Naluo King Reincarnation Marquis, then at Duanmu Xie. His eyes darted about. ’To be safe, I’ll help this Zombie take one of them out first!’

WHOOSH!

An afterimage appeared, a gust of wind rose, and Yan Bing instantly materialized beside Duanmu Xie, his Demon Saber striking in perfect coordination at the opponent in front of Duanmu Xie!

At that moment, right where the dozen or so King Martial Realm experts were standing, a gentle breeze drifted by. The group of King Martial Realm experts, who were on high alert, were slightly taken aback and tightened their grip on their Divine Weapons. However, nothing happened...

"How strange!"

One of them activated his Divine Thought, sweeping it across the surroundings.

Who would have known... the moment his Divine Thought left his body, the man suddenly felt the world spin as all the strength in his body vanished without a trace!

CLANG!

The Longsword fell from his hand, clattering onto the stone slabs below, and he collapsed limply to the ground as if his bones had turned to jelly!

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG...

As if in a chain reaction, almost before anyone could warn the others, they all collapsed to the ground, unable to get up!

Only then did Naluo King Reincarnation Marquis, who had been hanging his head the entire time, finally open his eyes.

"Ten Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder? I wonder which friend has arrived? Please, show yourself."

Naluo King’s voice was deep and magnetic, carrying an indescribable authority that commanded respect.

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in black robes with a Single Saber on his back slowly walked out from behind a broken stone pillar.

Reincarnation Marquis’s expression changed. "This feeling is so familiar... You are..."

The one who walked out from behind the stone pillar was, of course, Shen Lang.

And what had instantly incapacitated the dozen or so King Martial Realm experts was none other than the "Ten Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder" he had refined from the three Shadow Demon Flowers obtained from the Shadow Tower.

Shen Lang had originally rushed to concoct this item to deal with Shui Tianji, but he never got the chance to use it and had saved it until now.

Shen Lang looked up at Reincarnation Marquis on the cross, his gaze then falling upon the circle of burning Candle Dragon Black Flame and the Array on the ground.

After a quiet look at these two things, Shen Lang slowly walked over.

"Stop! Young brother, don’t get any closer! That black flame burns everything it touches! You’ll be turned to ash!"

Seeing Shen Lang approach the Barrier, Reincarnation Marquis cried out in alarm.

The moment he spoke, an Ice and Fire Blade Qi over twenty *zhang* long tore through the air, slashing down toward Shen Lang’s head!

"Who dares to have designs on our lord?! Die!"

Yan Bing’s voice was filled with endless killing intent. His Ice and Fire Demon Saber seemed poised to obliterate Shen Lang’s very soul with a single strike!
