"Good, good, good!"
The Black Wind Patriarch, who had always behaved in a gentle and refined manner, without showing any trace of wildness or arrogance, was finally completely enraged.
His face was as cold as ice. In public, Zhao Tianyou's repeated calls of "old dog" were simply rubbing his face on the ground.
If he could endure such a great humiliation, he would not deserve to be called a devil.
The old devil, who was originally somewhat afraid of Liu Wu, suddenly became completely murderous.
"I didn't expect there would be such a fool who dared to fight with me, the ancestor."
The Black Wind Patriarch's robes were puffing up without wind, his long hair was fluttering, and a black wind was surrounding his body. It seemed as if there were howling ghosts and roaring wild beasts in the black wind, making a shrill sound that was shocking enough to make one's heart tremble.
Anyone who heard this sound felt a stinging pain in their eardrums, and even their brains seemed to be pierced by an awl. The pain was so unbearable that they could only hold their heads tightly for fear that their skulls would explode.
"Since you want to die, I will grant your wish."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and eerie black wind, as if blowing out from the underworld, suddenly swept towards Zhao Tianyou.
Each gust of black wind was chilling and biting, and contained a heart-pounding edge and murderous aura that could blow away anyone's soul.
The onlookers who had already retreated far away suddenly felt a frost on their brows, their bones all felt a little stiff, and their expressions became dazed for a moment, as if their souls were about to be blown away.
The power of heaven and man has reached this point.
Everyone was terrified, holding their heads with their hands, and retreating in panic.
If you have never witnessed the battle between heaven and man with your own eyes, you will never understand how terrifying this peerless master is.
They have concentrated their primordial spirits, comprehended the laws of heaven and earth, and have completely transcended worldly matters.
It's really inhuman!
At this time, the leaders of the six factions who had retreated far away had gathered together spontaneously. A fight between powerful celestial beings of this level, even the aftermath could cause them to die without a burial place.
These people are old-timers who have been in the underworld for a lifetime. How could they joke with their lives? Therefore, they gathered together in tacit understanding to deal with any unexpected events that might happen at any time.
Seeing that Black Wind Patriarch and Zhao Tianyou were already fighting each other, Beggar Gang leader Wu Liujin frowned and said, "I heard that Zhao Tianyou's martial arts were destroyed, and it was only because of Jun Yanluo that he was able to escape from the Li family of the Patrol Heaven Division."
"It's only been three or four years. Even if he surrendered to the Prince of Danyang, how could he have achieved celestial status in such a short time?"
“No.” The teacher from Yueyang Academy also looked extremely solemn. “Zhao Tianyou founded a sect in Yulong Mountain. He single-handedly defeated Li Xiaotian’s army of 8,000 and even killed Li Xiaotian in the middle of the army.”
"That is to say, he may have already stepped into the realm of half-step heavenly being three years ago. Now that three years have passed, with the talent he has shown, it is only natural for him to break through the barrier of heavenly being."
The owner of the Shenxian Tower has always liked to show off her charm, using her enchanting figure and various styles to seduce those young men who are ignorant of the world.
At this moment, she looked at Zhao Tianyou, who was tall and strong, handsome and had a strong demeanor, and her face suddenly flushed.
"When this sweetheart was hanging around in Zhongdu, why didn't I see that he was such a great man?"
"It really makes my heart melt."
The head of Kutuo Mountain, the modern-day Kutuo, stared at Zhao Tianyou intently, his tone full of awe, "This man was famous in the martial arts world when he was young, but later his martial arts were abolished, and he wandered in brothels, living a decadent life for half his life, like a useless person."
"However, once he rose to power, he was as unstoppable as a dormant dragon emerging from the abyss. Three years ago, he defeated thousands of troops alone and killed Li Xiaotian. He founded a sect in Yulong Mountain and became famous in the martial arts world."
"It was only later that there were rumors that he was in seclusion in Yulong Mountain and there was no news of him anymore. I just thought that he was completely sidelined by the Yuncang Sword Sect and became a puppet."
"I never thought that three years later, he would actually step into the realm of heavenly beings, and dare to compete with the Black Wind Ancestor. It is really shocking."
"This person and this event are truly legendary!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
The owner of the Killing Building nearby said without hesitation: "Everyone, retreat another hundred feet and do not come near."
Seeing this, the Beggars' Sect leader Wu Liujin couldn't help but ask, "Si Kongsheng, do you really think Zhao Tianyou can beat the old ancestor?"
"You have also seen the strength displayed by the ancestor at this time. The black wind has a mighty power that can reach the sky and penetrate the earth. Even if one's martial arts skills are very strong, he will be scared to death when encountering this black wind."
"Although I pride myself on my martial arts prowess, the mere sight of this black wind makes me tremble all over, as if my soul is being sucked away."
"With the ancestor's terrifying strength, even if Zhao Tianyou breaks through to the heavenly realm, I'm afraid he won't be able to cause any big waves. I'm afraid he will be killed in an instant. We have already retreated so far, is there any chance that something will happen? Why do you have to be so cautious?"
But just as the old beggar was speaking, the teacher from Yueyang Academy almost simultaneously and decisively withdrew.
His eyes sparkled with brilliance, and he said in a serious tone: "If I am not mistaken, the magic skill Zhao Tianyou displayed should be the long-lost Eight Desolate Divine Fire Dragon in the martial arts world."
"The Eight Desolate Divine Fire Dragon comprehended the way of fire and condensed its true form of a fire dragon."
"This Zhao Tianyou was able to condense the fire dragon into such a perfect form and spirit, and manipulate it so finely that it hovered above the spear. This is definitely not something that a beginner can do."
"Besides, this person has been decadent for half his life and has been looked down upon by the world. However, he has not shown any sign of betrayal under the suppression of the Li family. This shows how cunning he is."
"Looking at his battle at Sanchuan River three years ago, we can see that he is ruthless, has outstanding martial arts skills, and has a brilliant plan ahead of time."
"This kind of person can be called a tyrant. There is no way he would come to die so easily."
"This battle will definitely have twists and turns!"
Yueyang Academy is famous for its Plum Blossom Divination. The disciples of the academy are best at the art of numerology. After mastering it, they can deduce astronomy and geography, the past, present and future, and even the philosophy of life.
As the teacher of Yueyang Academy, he was the best in the world in the art of divination. However, with just a brief calculation, he felt that the destiny was in chaos and it was not as simple as everyone expected.
Thinking of this, he retreated again and again, for fear of being involved in the battle between the two celestial beings and being caught in the disaster.
Whether the others believed it or not, seeing that the master had withdrawn, they would not hesitate and ordered a retreat at the same time.
Just when the disciples of the six sects were retreating and were about to leave Yulong Mountain, the Black Wind Patriarch had already displayed his own magical power. The black wind covered the sky and countless ghost-like shadows were mixed in it, making sharp whistling sounds and rushing towards Zhao Tianyou.
"Come on, I want to see what you, an old dog, can do!"
Zhao Tianyou laughed loudly, and the fire dragon on his spear rolled and roared, and then he opened his mouth and spit out a blazing flame that shot up into the sky.
The flame was just a patch at first, but it rose with the wind in the blink of an eye and turned into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye, blocking the overwhelming black wind.
The sky suddenly turned half red, and the other half was filled with dark winds. The two sides fought and collided like giant monsters that covered the sky and the sun. Wind and fire filled the air, and the black and red colors intertwined, forming extremely terrifying ripples that spread across the sky and the ground, in all directions. The surrounding ground, rocks, and vegetation were affected by the ripples and turned into black ash in an instant as if they were burned by a raging fire. Then, when the wind blew them away, even the ashes disappeared.
Witnessing this scene, the faces of the disciples from the six sects turned extremely pale. If they had not retreated just now, they would have been caught in the ripples, and would have been smashed to pieces and turned into ashes.
The power of the gods is truly earth-shaking.
To ordinary people, celestial beings are almost the same as the immortals in myths and legends. They are all great beings who can turn rivers and seas upside down, fly into the sky and escape into the earth, and whose life essence transcends the mundane.
When the two sides were fighting fiercely, Zhao Tianyou did not forget to casually wave out a flame, which condensed into a fire cloud, lightly lifted Du Mengyan up, and then dropped her into the Tongtian Palace behind him, preventing her from being accidentally involved in the battlefield between the two sides.
Du Mengyan was held up by the fire cloud, looking at the man's back in a daze. At this moment, flames shot up into the sky, black winds raged, and there was a destructive force between the wind and fire that shattered everything. Wherever was affected, rocks shattered, grass turned to ashes, and buildings collapsed.
The battle between the two sides reached a fever pitch almost in an instant. The power of heaven and earth was vast, and the celestial phenomena changed in a terrifying way.
However, even in such a fierce battle, Zhao Tianyou still carefully protected himself.
Du Mengyan felt indescribably sweet in her heart, "I knew it must be you. If it was someone else, how could they protect me so carefully?"
Perhaps it was because she had escaped from a desperate situation and her heart was moved, she couldn't help but think of the night before the battle of Sanchuan River again.
That night was a rare time when the two of them were alone together. Everything that happened that day, every detail, was unforgettable to her.
Especially when she thought of the man's ambiguous and frivolous behavior towards her that night, Du Mengyan felt her body getting a little hot.
That was the only time the two of them were close beyond being from the same school, but it was deeply engraved in her memory and she could not forget it after all these years.
When the fire cloud beneath her dissipated, Du Mengyan sat cross-legged on the ground at the entrance of the hall. All the elders and true disciples around her swarmed around her, looking at her with concern.
"First Master, are you okay?"
"Go get the elixir quickly. No, do you have any healing elixir?"
"I have a life-saving purple gold pill here."
A group of people were talking at once, and their words were full of concern.
Only Du Xiaoyue's face flushed, and she squeezed directly to Du Mengyan's side, her pupils full of heat and excitement, and said in a trembling voice: "Senior Sister, it's..."
However, the next moment she saw Du Mengyan's cold eyes, and her voice suddenly stopped.
At the beginning, Lu Chengfeng founded a sect in Yulong Mountain under the identity of Zhao Tianyou. He defeated an army of 8,000 on his own and became famous in the martial arts world. He completely established his foothold in Yuchuan County.
Besides Zhu Yuxian and Du Mengyan, the only ones who knew Zhao Tianyou's true identity were Du Xiaoyue and Tan Xiong. Lian Yunmo, Li Jiuchong and the other elders and leaders in the sect were completely unaware of it.
At first, everyone thought that Lu Chengfeng had used his skills to form alliances and borrow the Zhao family's Sky Patrol Order to gain a foothold in Yulong Mountain, and Zhao Tianyou also needed the help of the Yuncang Sword Sect to take revenge on the Li family.
After the battle at Sanchuan River, Zhao Tianyou announced that he would go into seclusion and then disappeared completely. Even the top leaders of the Yuncang Sword Sect thought that he had completely abandoned Yulong Mountain.
Lu Chengfeng even sent back news about Zhao Tianyou several times through his contact with Li Mo in the south, making everyone think that Zhao Tianyou went to the south to make a living after leaving Yulong Mountain.
Therefore, when Zhao Tianyou appeared in front of everyone again, and as the commander of the imperial carriage under the command of the Prince of Danyang, no one had any doubts.
Only Du Xiaoyue subconsciously thought of Lu Chengfeng.
After all, she knew very well that the real Zhao Tianyou was just a drunkard who wandered around brothels. It was her own leader who defeated thousands of troops and killed Li Xiaotian in the battle of Sanchuan River, and became famous in the martial arts world.
However, when she saw Du Mengyan's cold eyes, she reacted instantly. Now the leader has become a demon that everyone in the world wants to kill.
The Black Wind Patriarch and the leaders of other sects all want to force the leader to show up so as to extract the secret of immortality.
Under such circumstances, the leader had no choice but to appear on Yulong Mountain as "Zhao Tianyou" to rescue everyone.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind, and Du Xiaoyue quickly realized her own rashness. She was stunned at first, and then quietly used her true Qi to stimulate her tear glands. Suddenly, her eyes turned red and tears flowed down.
"Sister, how did you become like this? It's all my fault. It's my fault. I'm incompetent and can't help you!"
She cried loudly, and looked at Du Mengyan with red eyes, as if her heart was broken.
The elders and true disciples nearby also knew that she had always had a close relationship with the chief. The two were originally related by blood and were cousins within the five degrees of mourning. Du Mengyan had always regarded her as her confidant.
Although Du Xiaoyue lacks some cunning, he has always acted in a dignified manner, is a decent person, and hates evil. After years of experience, he is increasingly respected by the disciples in the sect, and he is not far from cultivating the sword intent.
Seeing Du Xiaoyue crying so hard that she almost fainted, everyone was impressed by the deep friendship between the two sisters.
Only Du Mengyan couldn't help but feel helpless when she saw Du Xiaoyue's exaggerated acting, and secretly said: "This damn girl is so fake that it can't be any faker."
She was seriously injured at the time, but she had comprehended a little bit of the law of fate and was able to hang on to her life with the help of the Bihua Immortal Bone.
Seeing everyone surrounding her in a mess, she couldn't move at all, let alone speak. She glanced again at the man soaring into the sky outside the door, surrounded by red dragons, and she suddenly felt extremely relieved.
I simply closed my eyes and ignored the noise from the people around me.
As the Yi Mu Tong Tian Sword Technique was practiced, she once again fell into that mysterious state.
In particular, the law of destiny that she had just comprehended seemed to be particularly compatible with the Bihua Immortal Bone, causing this piece of green and jade-like immortal bone to grow with strands of lines like tree rings.
Although these lines are extremely rare and crooked, they seem to be only shallowly drawn on the sacral bone and cannot go deep enough.
But this change made Du Mengyan's whole person begin to transform imperceptibly. The Yi Mu Tong Tian Sword Technique was activated, and her essence, energy and spirit gradually gathered in her immortal bones.
Her soul was severely damaged and was about to be shattered, but at this moment, it was gathered by a trace of fate and law, and all of it was absorbed into her immortal bone.
As she closed her eyes, everyone around her saw a purple-blue color appear between her eyebrows, flickering like a flame.
No one dared to make a sound, for fear of disturbing her, and they were even more afraid to feed her the pills. They could only watch.
Especially outside, Zhao Tianyou was fighting with the Black Wind Patriarch, and they were still worried, not knowing whether Zhao Tianyou could stop the Black Wind Patriarch, and they didn't know where the fate of themselves and Yulong Mountain would go.
They stared at the big move outside the hall with anxiety, their hearts in their throats, praying from the bottom of their hearts, hoping that 'Zhao Tianyou' would win.
Otherwise... all of them will fall into the hands of that old devil, and then they will be unable to live or die.
