Chapter 563: Chapter 562: The Terrifying Peng Dian (Additional update for ’having raised Little Dragon Girl’, 7/9)
"Scoundrel, Brother Shi is not someone you can see just because you wish to! Today is the auspicious day of Wuling Villa, and we will not allow your insolence here!"
Ai Wenhong was the first to come forward, angrily pointing at the young man in grey.
The smile on the face of the young man in grey deepened, his eyes flickering slightly.
Mysteriously, Ai Wenhong’s face turned blank, as he thrusted his sword towards Elder Ai Renxiong beside him.
Clang.
The sword was blocked by the Silver Sword Gentleman, who shot two invisible blades from his eyes. Just as they were about to hit their mark, they were devoured by the grey light deep within Ai Wenhong’s eyes.
Only by exerting extra strength did the Silver Sword Gentleman manage to shatter the grey light, but nearly twenty percent of his mental power was depleted in doing so.
"What powerful Pupil Skill!"
The Silver Sword Gentleman was silently astonished.
The silver light blade which carried twenty percent of his mental power was enough to severely injure an intermediate-level Lord. However, it barely broke the young man in grey’s Pupil Skill. One must not forget, the young man merely cast it casually from nearly a hundred meters away.
If the young man got any closer, even he himself would not stand a chance!
The others in the room furiously gazes shifted skeptically, looking at the young man in grey in amazement and uncertainty.
"If he doesn’t come out, then it’s really simple, we will just keep attacking until he does."
The young man in green who had been silent until now broke his silence, his expression colder than ice.
Whoosh!
Tens of black-clothed individuals standing behind the two young men attacked simultaneously. Judging by their aura, the weakest among them was a low-level Lord, and the most powerful reached the level of intermediate-level Lord.
These tens of people were not fighting individually, instead, people from the back row moved forward and stood on the shoulders of the ones in the front, forming a solid wall of bodies. Mysteriously, everyone’s aura converged into one, rivaling Xiahou Zong.
"Kill!"
The next moment, tens of people launched their attacks at once. The raging Vigorous Air spanned the sky and the earth, sweeping towards all directions.
All the renowned figures in the martial world present in the square were shocked by this sudden change. They were unable to react in time and could only watch as the Vigorous Air approached.
Today was the grand opening ceremony of the Wuling Villa. Such an upheaval was both a severe provocation to both Shi Xiaole and Wuling Villa.
The situation would become even more disgraceful for Shi Xiaole and Wuling Villa if many high-level experts were injured or killed in the dispute. What respect could they expect when they couldn’t even assure protection for their guests?
"Golden Flash Slash!"
Golden Saber Elder roared, his white eyebrows inverting with rage as he slashed his long saber. However, it was intercepted by a Sword Qi halfway through its course.
The one who attacked was Tianyan Sword Lord.
At the same time, the Silver Sword Gentleman was blocked by Xiahou Zong, while Jade Axe Lady’s axe struck the Vigorous Air released by the tens of cultivators. It only managed to snap a part of it. The remaining part exploded violently, illuminating the desperate expressions of the people in the field.
Hum!
At the critical moment, a grand white light surged from the base of the square, protecting everyone like a cover. The flow of Vigorous Air crashed against it without making a single ripple.
"Hmm, a Divine Barrier Realm level defense Array System?"
The expressions of the young men in green and grey finally changed.
As guests from Tian State, their knowledge was beyond the comparison of the warriors of Xuanwu State. They immediately recognized that the formation protecting the square was a Divine Barrier Realm Array System and not just any ordinary kind.
"Do you think you can avert disaster by relying on the Array System? How delusional! I will need your help with this."
The young man in grey sneered.
Xiahou Zong and Tianyan Sword Lord understood his intention. Reminded of the Saintess’s orders when they set out—that was to obey all commands and so they didn’t hesitate, immediately rushing towards the three unusual people.
"Desert Storm Palm!"
Xiahou Zong released a palm strike, grains of yellow Vigorous Air scattered like dust grains in the wind, instantly enveloping an area of several hundred meters. Even the sunlight couldn’t penetrate it. Each grain of sand seemed to have a weight of a thousand pounds, making it difficult for those below to breathe.
The saber light of Golden Saber Elder was directly eroded by the yellow sand. His defensive Vigorous Air shattered and struck him, making a continuous clattering sound.
Retreating several hundred meters, Golden Saber Elder heaved a sigh of relief.
Lucky for him, his Vajra Unbreakable Body had already reached the beginning stage, or else he would have been injured under this strike. The Silver Sword Gentleman was also suppressed by Tianyan Sword Lord but managed to avoid injury.
Both of them had not only cultivated the Vajra Unbreakable Body, they had also received Shi Xiaole’s concealment technique. Hence, everyone only thought they practiced some defensive martial skills, without considering other possibilities.
"Sooner or later, I will smash your turtle shell."
Xiahou Zong continued his ruthless assault, swiftly driving Golden Saber Elder into retreat. At a crucial moment, Ai Yinglong joined the battle. With his aid, the two managed to barely hold off Xiahou Zong.
On the other side, Yu Qinghe assisted the Silver Sword Gentleman, managing to engage Tianyan Sword Lord in a fierce battle.
"Axe Hops Over a Thousand Mountains!"
Jade Axe Lady raised her hands high, slashed down with force, and layered shadows of her axe attack were directed towards the group of dozens of people who formed a human wall. However, as soon as her attack neared the wall, it was diminished by the vigorous air emitted by the people in the wall, only half remaining, which was then shattered by the combined efforts of the dozens.
"Burst Sky Fist!"
The dozens suddenly all threw a punch simultaneously, creating a giant shadow of fist twenty feet in size in front. The air was brutally pushed to the sides, causing violent cyclones to form, which would have destroyed large amounts of architecture had the plaza’s array system not held them back.
Thud!
The moment the axe and the enormous shadow of the fist collided, Jade Axe Lady was flung back several hundred meters, stumbling several steps before she could steady herself.
"Possessing the combat power of a top lord?"
Clearly, the combined attack formation of those dozens of people was extremely mysterious. It was likely their overall strength was approaching that of Xiahou Zong. Otherwise, they could not have forced back Jade Axe Lady as she was now.
The situation wasn’t looking good. The enemy had targeted Wuling Villa, only with the assistance of the Ai Family had they previously managed to maintain the situation. But the enemy still had two young people who hadn’t made a move yet, and judging by their appearances, they were likely to be an even bigger nuisance than Xiahou Zong!
"This is really boring."
Just as they were fearing, the grey-clothed young man in the middle of the intense battle suddenly took a step forward and in a blink of an eye, arrived in front of Jade Axe Lady. He swept his hand towards her chest with such speed that it was like a flash of lightning, nearly fooling Jade Axe Lady’s sense.
"Axe Breaks Tian State!"
Power surged to its peak, Jade Axe Lady sidestepped to dodge while angrily chopping down with her axe.
However, the grey-clothed young man’s hand incredibly evaded the strike, slithered around like a venomous snake. The force of the axe only shattered the false image he had created. The real attack went around in a circle and reached Jade Axe Lady’s rear from where she had dodged, quickly grabbing towards her buttocks leaving no room for evasion.
"Take my blade, leader of the Tide Gate!"
A blade light imbued with the sound of tidal water overflowed in the sky, the person who made a move was the leader of the Tide Gate.
"It’s all the same, no matter how many you are."
The grey-clothed young man roared with laughter, raised one hand and a dim gray aura flared from it. The blade light slashed down onto it, not only failing to shatter the gray energy but also being eroded down to less than half.
Jade Axe Lady was not so useless. The previous dangerous situation was just a flaw she had intentionally created. At this moment, she abruptly turned around, and jade-colored glow that she had stored up earlier charged towards the grey-clothed young man.
"Suppression Evil Fist."
Changing from palm to fist, the grey-clothed young man’s momentum soared. His fist cut through the void, bringing about a comet-like gray glow that directly pierced through the jade-colored glow and smashed onto the axe, causing Jade Axe Lady to retreat once again.
Fighting against two supreme lords while easily gaining the upper hand. The power of the grey-clothed young man left all the spectators in awe.
"Who is this person exactly?"
"There is definitely no such gifted young expert in Xuanwu State. ’Suppression Evil Fist,’ that name sounds familiar, wait... Can it be ’Evil Eye’ Peng Dian from Tian State?"
"What? The demonic genius who was raised by a wicked master from a young age, who wiped out an entire family just because of quarrels? Just a genius from Tian State possesses strength that can suppress two supreme lords. How advanced is the martial arts level in Tian State?"
If you talk about the Flying Horse Dynasty, where the prodigies are the most eye-catching, it would undoubtedly be in Tian State.
’Evil Eye’ Peng Dian hailed from Tian State and was a well-known talent in the Devil Path. He was renowned for his Suppression Evil Fist and Heart-Stealing Devil Eyes, especially the latter, which was said to be capable of killing invisibly, and could easily destroy a person’s spiritual sea.
Recalling the previous scene where Ai Wenhong was hit, everyone was even more certain of the identity of the grey-clothed young man. Everyone looked horrified, and also silently mourned for Wuling Villa.
Xiahou Zong and Tianyan Sword Lord were already formidable enemies. The combination of those dozens of lords was equally invincible. Now, with the addition of Peng Dian, who can resist Wuling Villa?
Not to mention, there was another young man in a green robe who hadn’t yet made a move. His momentum seemed even stronger than Peng Dian’s.
The experts of the Wuling Villa were completely at a disadvantage at every battlefront. After a short time, even the Heavenly Inquiry Ancestor himself joined the fight against the combination of those dozens of lords, only to be repelled and narrowly escaped serious injury.
"Fifty-three moves. Your strength is beyond my expectation. But it’s time to end this. Suppression Evil Dominates Demon!"
Peng Dian stood in the void, his body at the center, strands of gray breath like countless tiny snakes, entwining his limbs and long hair, making him appear like a snake king, full of demonic aura, tyrannical and dangerous.
He reached out his hand towards the front, and the jade-colored axe light that was slashing towards him immediately shattered inch by inch. The tidal blade light that approached him from behind was quickly engulfed by countless gray snakes. Amidst the hissing sounds, the blade light was ground into eighteen sections and then harshly collided with the leader of Tide Gate.
"Puh!"
The latter spit blood and flew backwards, his face pale.
Jade Axe Lady also received a hit but due to her Vajra Unbreakable Body, the injuries were not severe. However, she was also left in a state of disorder and was unable to retaliate immediately.
Seizing this opportunity, Peng Dian suddenly rushed forward, like a streak of gray light, reaching out to grab Su Yanru. He was so quick that experts like Ai Renxiong at her side could not react in time.
What about Shi Xiaole? He was determined to humiliate his opponents in their own home. Who had the ability to stop him?
The minds of all stopped working. The disciples of Wuling Villa were all bewildered, hoping that all of this was just a nightmare from which they would soon awaken.
"Who dares to cause trouble here? Get lost!"
Just at the moment of despair, a clear and sonorous voice echoed like a thunderclap, unexpectedly resounding in everyone’s ears.
To the north of the villa, boundless Sword Qi shot into the sky, piercing the dome of the sky like a thin membrane, making a popping sound of perforation. The void was constantly twisting, and the sound of swords clashing echoed everywhere. People felt a piercing pain in their eyes just from taking a glance, as if they were going blind.
This surge of Sword Qi suddenly rose into the high sky, and by the time it descended, it had already enveloped Peng Dian, as if it wanted to chop him into thousands of pieces.
