Chapter 2042 – Joining Forces
Yan Chi and Liu Qingfeng stepped onto the Law Battle Platform. The atmosphere seemed somewhat different.
Now, it was more than just a simple spar. This battle involved the vendetta between the two parties. It concerned the struggle between Wangshen Watchtower and Great Yan Ancient Royal Family.
Li Changsheng, Zong Chan, Ye Futian, as well as the other cultivators of Wangshen Watchtower, were looking at the Law Battle Platform. Even though Li Changsheng casually dispelled the animosity directed at them by Great Yan Ancient Royal Family, he also understood that the situation was not as optimistic as it appeared. Great Yan Ancient Royal Family had come prepared. Their opponent’s lineup was stronger than theirs.
For example, the prince of Great Yan Ancient Royal Family, Yan Chi, was a lower-level Renhuang with a flawless Great Path. He had no match among the lower-level Renhuangs of Wangshen Watchtower. Hence, Wangshen Watchtower could only send the fourth-tier Renhuang, Liu Qingfeng, to go against him. It was not very honorable.
Before this, Wangshen Watchtower had treated Ye Futian in such a manner because he indeed was powerful to such an extent.
“Elder brother, what are our chances in winning this battle?” Ye Futian asked Li Changsheng, who was beside him, as he looked in that direction. It was still alright if they won. If the fourth-tier Liu Qingfeng were to be defeated, it would be somewhat embarrassing. By losing with someone who had an advantage, Wangshen Watchtower’s image would be somewhat tarnished.
“I am not too sure about Yan Chi’s ability,” Li Changsheng replied. “However, rumor has it that he is considered incredible among Great Yan Ancient Royal Family. His talent is not inferior to that of Yan Dongyang. Although Yan Dongyang is far from being a match for you, he is still a prominent figure in the cultivation world. It will be difficult for members of the same Plane to defeat him. Hence, it is unclear who will win this battle. Even if Liu Qingfeng wins, it won’t be an easy victory.” He appeared casual as he spoke, but in reality, he was somewhat worried.
Of course, Ye Futian also understood that Yan Dongyang was not weak. It was just that he had encountered Ye Futian. After all, Ye Futian had cultivated too many techniques along the way and had many fateful encounters. A prince of an ordinary ancient royal family could not possibly compare with Ye Futian.
“We’ll see. If Liu Qingfeng is defeated, Younger Brother Zong will immediately go out,” Li Changsheng said. If Zong Chan were to take the field at the same Plane, the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family would not be able to find anyone who could prove a match for him. Their goal of sending Zong Chan was to intimidate the opponent.
Of course, if they won this battle, that would be even better. Zong Chan would not need to fight so soon.
As they discussed this, the battle had already begun on the Law Battle Platform. The prince of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family, Yan Chi, attacked extremely aggressively. He was as overbearing and dominant as a divine golden dragon. A pure-blooded dragon circled him in the sky above, causing the spectators to sense a frightening pressure.
Liu Qingfeng was proficient in swordsmanship. He was like a breeze blowing through the leaves of a willow. His seemingly gentle swordsmanship actually contained an extremely sharp aura. His grace contained great strength. His sword skills appeared ethereal. Both of their attacks contrasted each other.
Even though this was not a pinnacle showdown between prominent figures, it was still a showdown between two top forces. Hence, the cultivators around were watching attentively.
As they watched this ferocious battle, the people below said, “As expected, Yan Chi truly is a member of Great Yan Ancient Royal Family. The blood of the royal family of the Yan Kingdom flows in his veins. His attacks are domineering. Even though his cultivation Plane is lower than his opponent’s, his momentum is actually more powerful. He seems to be seizing the initiative.”
“The royal children of Great Yan Ancient Royal Family are the elites of the Yan Kingdom. They are extraordinary. Although the Renhuang from the Wangshen Watchtower also has a flawless Great Path, it won’t be easy for him to win,” many people discussed below. The battle in the Law Battle Platform was growing more intense. Yan Chi did not plan to give Liu Qingfeng any opportunity to counterattack as he attacked again and again, like a war machine; however, Liu Qingfeng had a higher cultivation Plane than him and managed to nullify his attacks.
At that moment, on the battlefield, both of them retreated backward. The crowd seemed to hear swooshing sounds. As they looked onto the battlefield, cracks appeared on the huge dragon armor covering Yan Chi’s body. Blood seeped out from the cracks. Yan Chi appeared to have been injured. Liu Qingfeng wielded a sword in his hand. Blood dripped from the sword.
“Liu Qingfeng’s attacks seemed soft and gentle, but in reality, they are indomitable. His grace contains great strength, and he is mighty. He still has an advantage being at a higher cultivation Plane. It appears that even though Yan Chi is overbearing, he is still going to lose,” the people below discussed.
Yan Chi glanced down at his injury. Divine light of the Great path flowed down his figure, and his wound was instantly healed.
An astonishing dragon cry could be heard. It shook the heavens and the earth. The Great Path trembled as the Song of the Yang Dragon radiated outwards. Soundwaves of the Great Path swept out, causing Liu Qingfeng to feel like his eardrums were about to burst.
This Song of the Yang Dragon seemed endless. It reverberated all around them. The dragon cry caused the heavens to tremble. The crowds felt their heads vibrate violently. As they watched in astonishment, Yan Chi became a divine pure-blooded dragon and charged directly at Liu Qingfeng. This gigantic divine dragon descended with the might of the Great Path. It hovered above and covered the sky. It was domineering.
Under the effects of the ear-piercing sound wave attack, the sword in Liu Qingfeng’s hand shook uncontrollably. It was not because Liu Qingfeng’s hands were shaking. Instead, the sword itself was vibrating.
The crowd watched as the gigantic divine dragon consumed this part of the sky and dove down towards Liu Qingfeng.
Raging waves of the Great Path swept out. The crowd heard the sound of intense vibrations. Then, everything seemed to clear up. When they saw the two figures again, Yan Chi had already returned to his original form. His robes were stained with blood. His dragon scale armor was mostly shattered and covered in bloodstains.
However, Liu Qingfeng was even worse off. His chest was punctured. Frightening claw marks appeared on his chest. It was as though he had been slashed by a dragon claw that directly penetrated his body. He was covered in blood as well. He stared at Yan Chi and then spat out a mouthful of jet-black blood. His face was pale, and his aura was rapidly weakening. He appeared extremely wretched.
So vicious, the crowd thought to themselves as they witnessed this scene. Both of them had attacked too viciously.
Although Chief Ning had prefaced this, the crowd also understood that if two major forces were to clash, they would certainly attack viciously just like they had done now.
They were no longer merely sparring.
However, the crowd knew this was inevitable due to the grudges between the two major forces.
“Who could have imagined that the victor was actually Yan Chi,” many people exclaimed in surprise. Before this, Liu Qingfeng had been suppressing Yan Chi. However, at the last minute, Yan Chi seemed to become even more ferocious. He sent out his most vicious attack and severely injured Liu Qingfeng. Although he had also received heavy wounds, compared to Liu Qingfeng, he came out of that exchange far better off.
The cultivators of the Wangshen Watchtower had very cold gazes. Yan Chi had actually attacked so cruelly. Great Yan Ancient Royal Family was clearly aiming to kill them.
“Younger Brother Liu!” shouted Li Changsheng. Liu Qingfeng limped out of the Law Battle Platform with his injuries. Clearly, he had lost this battle.
Yan Chi also walked out after him. Before Yan Chi could return to his seat, the crowd saw another person stand up. However, surprisingly, the person who had stood up was not a cultivator from the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family. Instead, it was a cultivator from Lingciao Palace.
This… Many people revealed bizarre expressions. Had Lingciao Palace and Great Yan Ancient Royal Family agreed to join forces against Wangshen Watchtower?
