"It’s the clan chiefs, the voices of the two clan chiefs."
"There’s no point in waiting any longer!"
The elite warriors of the ng and Shi clans were impatient, but they also knew that being in a hurry was useless; they had to find the right direction first. One by one, they turned their eyes to Shi Xiaole, pinning their hopes on this universally recognized prodigy of the East Victory world.
The youths of Affectionate Island clenched their teeth in frustration. They could hear the voices, yet they were unable to extend a helping hand. This feeling of suffocation made them feel worse than dead.
"Nine Stars Connecting Palm!"
Seeing ng Chou and Shi Fu covered in wounds and in acute distress, Murong Di let out a malicious laugh and struck the void with nine consecutive palms. The area within a hundred thousand ters suddenly darkened; in the sky, nine stars aligned into a straight line, transforming into a boundless palm strike descending from the heavens.
Clang!
Large swathes of islands sank, overturned by ten-thousand-ter high waves, breaking into countless pieces of rubble. These rocks then rose from the seafloor, and under the influence of magnetic fields, ca together once more.
"Wind and Rain teor Hamr!"
"Righteous Qi’s Blade!"
ng Chou swung his arms, at the end of his chains were two iron hamrs, striking out like two beams of aurora. Shi Fu, a master of swordsmanship, didn’t even look back as his blade’s aura surged toward the sky.
Boom!
ng Chou and Shi Fu were like scarecrows in a storm, sent flying erratically by the fierce qi, their bodies battered beyond recognition, covered in blurry flesh and shattered bones.
Shi Fu, being closer to the storm, even had his skull cap lifted off, leaving him barely clinging to life.
"Brother..."
ng Chou embraced Shi Fu, tears streaming down, blood still flowing from the holes in his body. However, ng Chou felt no pain, only a bone-deep desolation.
Decades of enduring humiliation for this mont, faced with their enemy, they were not only unable to seek vengeance but were severely wounded by the foe instead, a blow that turned ng Chou’s face deathly pale.
"Die!"
Nine stars in a row, along with a smug laugh, the sky-filling palm print pressed down once again.
The aftermath of the three qi waves hadn’t dispersed when Murong Di launched another killer move. It seed like countless hands forcibly tearing open the magnetic fields of the triangular sea area. Although it was but a mont before the field restored itself, for Shi Xiaole, a mont was too much.
"It’s in the northwest direction, only a little over sixty thousand ters away in a straight line, but the magnetic field mislead us to another place."
A thought flashed through Shi Xiaole’s mind, and he instinctively drew out the Cleansing Evil Sword, slicing swiftly in front of him. The urgent priority now was to save ng Chou and Shi Fu.
Shick!
If the palm print obscured the heaven and the earth, then the azure sword light was like splitting heaven and earth. Amid the crisp slicing sound, countless sparks shot out from the surface of the palm print, and a concave mark appeared.
Shi Xiaole swung out the second sword like lightning.
Slash!
This ti, the sword light followed the notch, easily cutting through the palm print, the force continuing unabated, slashing towards Murong Di.
In a rush, Murong Di managed to throw two punches before being sent flying by the sword light, his throat churning and spewing out a mouthful of blood.
"Who?"
Murong Di was shocked.
With his prowess, there were few opponents he could find in the East Victory world, and no swordsman capable of injuring him with two strikes existed.
Following the located direction, Shi Xiaole flashed and, along with the other six, arrived in front of ng Chou and Shi Fu, saying, "Are you two alright?"
"Young hero is..."
ng Chou was shocked, unable to believe that it was Shi Xiaole who had acted. Such a young peerless swordsman, he had not only never seen but had never even heard of.
Shi Xiaole looked at Shi Fu in ng Chou’s arms and reached out, a lifeforce energy flowing into the latter’s body.
ng Chou exclaid, "Young hero, you mustn’t!"
To soone with a frail heart ridian, infusing energy would only hasten their death. However, ng Chou soon discovered, to his astonishnt, that Shi Fu’s barely alive heart ridian stabilized, saving his life.
"This, this..."
As the chiefs of both ng and Shi clans, ng Chou had seen a lot and was a peerless genius himself, but now, he couldn’t understand the situation before him.
A great swordsman in control of the lifeforce? When did such a person appear in the world? As he had arrived here early, ng Chou was not aware of the outco of the Battle of Fate and naturally couldn’t think of Shi Xiaole.
"Shi Xuanzhong!"
On the other side, Murong Di saw Shi Xiaole and blurted out, exclaiming, "I knew you weren’t dead! How co you’re practicing swordsmanship now, wait, you’re not Shi Xuanzhong!"
The fluctuations of the surrounding magnetic fields had distorted Murong Di’s senses, preventing him from making an imdiate judgnt. Realizing what he had just said and sensing trouble, he turned to flee.
Murong Di was not ng Chou; he had not been part of the war for long, and he knew many pieces of information, being well aware of the relationship between Shi Xiaole and Shi Xuanzhong.
"Stay!"
Channeling his power, Shi Xiaole executed a "Sky-shocking Sword."
Craaack!
The void was cleaved, but due to the magnetic field’s influence, this stroke was displaced by thousands of miles. The reason for not being off-target earlier was because Shi Xiaole had accurately located the position of the battle; this ti, however, there was no ti for adjustnts.
"Boy, you dare to save ng Chou and Shi Fu, and collude with the people of the ng and Shi families, I know it now, you are also an Outer Heaven Demon, hahaha, I will leak this news out, and see how you die at that ti!"
Realizing sothing, Murong Di laughed shrilly, rapidly fleeing outwards, making ng Tian and others very anxious, wishing they could grow wings and chase after him.
They could not imagine the consequences once the news got out!
Shi Xiaole’s face remained calm, "Do you think you can escape?"
Before his words fell, a beam of arrow light suddenly burst from the ground. The arrow dragged a trail of air that shattered the nearby islands, sending fragnts flying all around, yet still could not conceal that sky-shocking, ghost-weeping arrow that raced towards Murong Di above.
"Heavenly Sealing Palm!"
This move took Murong Di by surprise. Caught off guard, he quickly brought his hands together to form an elliptical closed palm force. But, with a bang, the palm force shattered, and the arrow light pierced through Murong Di’s body.
"Heartbroken Small Arrow".
What Shi Xiaole had deployed was none other than the strongest technique from the original thirteen limits—"Heartbroken Small Arrow"!
This archery technique only required rembering the opponent’s aura. No matter what barriers lay in between, even if ten thousand miles apart, it could accurately hit the target. It could be said to be an unmatched arrow.
However, to master this archery technique, one must first learn the "Enduring Humiliation Divine Skill" and the "Mountain and Sea Classic". Coincidentally, Shi Xiaole had practiced these two exquisite techniques in his early years.
Since leaving the Land of Fate, to increase his trump cards, Shi Xiaole had honed his spiritual force. Besides contemplating the Heart Sword, he had also purchased the "Heartbreak Arrow Technique" to cultivate.
With the supre form, he cultivated it to be induced by sword techniques, allowing him to unleash his full power, its might not inferior to the original technique from the original thirteen limits.
Murong Di collapsed half-dead on the ground, and soon after, Shi Xiaole caught up with him. Without bothering with small talk, he directly extracted the other’s mories with a great spiritual art.
"You... will not die a good death..."
With a distorted, malicious smile on his lips, Murong Di’s body exploded into a mist of blood.
Shi Xiaole’s gaze was icy.
The opponent’s mind contained spiritual restrictions, but alas, how could they withstand the spiritual energy of the Fate Stone, directly crumbling away.
"Aside from Murong Di, there are six other people."
Shi Xiaole finally knew the culprits behind the assassination attempt on Shi Xuanzhong and Ling Yujie from back then. The answer was coincidental, yet also as expected.
Because, looking across the world, there were not many people qualified enough to assassinate Shi Xuanzhong and his wife.
Apart from Murong Di, the remaining six individuals were each powerful experts who caused shock and awe, possessing imnse prestige in the South Sea, able to summon the wind and summon the rain.
Among them was one of the six legendary figures, the kindly looking Black White Master from Water and Fire Dao Manor.
There’s also an important point not to be overlooked: these six people had worked with Murong Di, apparently having a deep connection. With their status and insight, could they be unaware of Murong Di’s true identity?
This was getting interesting.
When Shi Xiaole was deep in thought, no one disturbed him, for everyone was stunned.
Murong Di, who chased the clan leaders of the ng and Shi families to a hopeless situation, had just died at the hands of Shi Xiaole. How formidable was Shi Xiaole’s strength?
"Is he truly younger than ?"
The Affectionate Island youth muttered to himself.
In preparation for the great battle, he had no mind to gather news from the outside world. He had always regarded Shi Xiaole as a peer of the sa level, but only now did he realize how laughable that thought was.
ng Chou also learned of Shi Xiaole’s identity from ng Tian and the others. Shaking, he struggled to disregard his injuries, and said emotionally, "Child, save the Shi clan leader first."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaole ca to his senses and nodded, channeling the breath of life into Shi Fu’s body.
Soon after, Shi Fu regained consciousness, his injuries surprisingly recovering by fifty percent. Upon hearing of the prior events, he laughed heartily, praising Shi Xiaole for a job well done.
Afterward, ignoring ng Chou’s dissuasions, Shi Xiaole treated his injuries as well. It wasn’t until ng Chou had significantly recovered that Shi Xiaole withdrew his powers.
"Uncle chief, what about the others?"
ng Tian asked eagerly. Of the five hundred experts who went into battle, her brother was one.
ng Chou’s face showed sorrow, his lips moved with difficulty before he said, "So have died in battle, so are fighting elsewhere, and so, perhaps, have been captured."
He hadn’t forgotten Murong Di’s earlier words.
ng Tian’s heart clenched. Just as she was at a loss, Shi Xiaole said, "I know the whereabouts of those who were captured. Let’s go save them now."
Everyone was greatly shocked.
"Really?!"
ng Tian grabbed Shi Xiaole’s arm as if clinging to her last hope.
The Affectionate Island youth could no longer speak any words of dissuasion. With Shi Xiaole’s terrifying prowess, why would he be wary of those three families? Moreover, the place where the ng and Shi family mbers were captured might also have Affectionate Island experts present.
Shi Xiaole continued to lead everyone deeper.
When they passed fifty thousand ters, the space before them twisted, resembling upright layers of ripples. Shi Xiaole stepped across, and the next mont, an endless desert appeared before his eyes.
This was the Overlapping Land!
Indeed, the deepest part of the Triangular Sea Realm connected the void hub between the beings from Outer Heaven and the East Victory world.
The many mysteries of this world were unfolding one by one before Shi Xiaole’s eyes.
