Chapter 1221 - Chapter 1221 Chapter 514 Unexpected

Chapter 1221: Chapter 514: Unexpected Chapter 1221: Chapter 514: Unexpected “Rigidity does not last long, and flexibility cannot be preserved.”

The more violent the power, the shorter its duration, after the Black Light Mysterious Cauldron endured a hit from the White Tiger Roar.

The Devil Lord Gou Chen, who could no longer restrain himself, made a sudden move towards the four people at the horizon, launching the Blood Asura God Shocking Finger successively.

The Divine Light of Blood Fiend appeared just when the three Martial Ancestors were regaining their Spiritual Power. However, there wasn’t a hint of tension on their faces.

After all, a Yanyun Grandmaster was standing by their side.

A shield formed from hundreds of eight Cloud Chains blocked the resentful strike from Devil Lord Gou Chen.

The Cloud Chain, reinforced by the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul, was so domineering that even the Spirit-busting Blood Fiend could not corrode it. Thinking of obtaining a complete Divine Artifact and inheriting Yun Zu’s legacy, Xiang Yan felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

As the top grandmaster of the Xiang Family, he was now revered as the first master of Chaochang, but he would not forget the humiliation inflicted by a man named Chen Menglu, who had dominated him in battle.

In the Wilderness, Chen Menglu almost single-handedly suppressed the Xiang Family of Chaochang, and what was more despairing was that even after hundreds of strategy reviews post-battle, he couldn’t find a shred of hope for turning defeat into victory.

That kind of boundless strength almost suffocated him; even as master-level powerful figures themselves, Xiang Yan couldn’t even imagine a possibility of victory. This discrepancy was something he was unwilling to acknowledge.

In the realm of grandmasters, how could there be such a monster?

This was the exclamation Xiang Yan had after every strategy review.

But he knew his path in martial arts had come to an end.

This was not to say that he had exhausted his research on this martial path, but rather that he could only maintain his current level in terms of realm.

Of course, the model of Spiritual Power still had potential for further enhancement, but his own control had reached its limit.

That meant, even if he could improve further, it wouldn’t be a transformation but rather a refinement.

Once, the pinnacle of his martial world had been the Ancestor Xiang Qian, but when he finally surpassed him, he realized it was not as great as he had expected.

Through ancient texts, he could clearly see that not only compared with the mythic Yun Zu but even compared to the legendary Black Merchant, he was far less capable.

But why should this be the case? As grandmaster-level powerful figures, why was there such a significant disparity?

Burdened with an obsessive desire to win, Xiang Yan couldn’t comprehend this issue. He had clearly made the best of his martial path–why was he still inferior to others?

Thus, he needed Yun Zu’s inheritance–he wanted to see how those historical martial geniuses, who had left their names in the annals, thought at the grandmaster level.

Were they like him, filled with a desire to win and willing to sacrifice everything for victory?

So the inheritance from Yun Zu was very important to him, even more crucial than Xiang Ange or even Xiang Qian could imagine.

And now, Yun Zu’s inheritance was right before his eyes–how could he not be excited?

Dispersing the great shield formed by the Hundred and Eight Cloud Chains, Xiang Yan looked down on the Devil Lord clad in a Gou Chen Mask and Star Robe and said calmly, “There is a time for everything. Devil Lord, your return, I deeply appreciate it. To show my gratitude, I will leave your corpse intact after a while!”

“Hehehe.”

Issuing several hoarse, uncanny laughs, Devil Lord Gou Chen levitated into the air, rising to a level parallel with Xiang Yan, looking directly into those deep blue pupils, and disdainfully said, “Even Wang Fuling failed, a trash beaten to the ground begging for mercy in the same realm, could you do it?”

In a hostile state, what you need to do is to establish your advantage by engaging in all actions that can harm the opponent.

If flaunting can anger the opponent, then you should flaunt, if demeaning can anger the opponent, then you should demean.

For a grandmaster with a strong desire to win, there’s nothing more upsetting than being reminded of a humiliating incident to his face.

Therefore, the blue light in the Yanyun Grandmaster’s eyes flared, and with a cold voice, he said, “I hope Mr. Gou Chen’s skills with his hands are as strong as his skills with his mouth.”

With that, a burst of treasure light from Square Heaven Unfixed Divine Pupil shot out. Perhaps he hadn’t expected the Yanyun Grandmaster to strike first, or perhaps he hadn’t yet recovered from the shock of the recent combined attack.

The Square Heaven Unfixed Divine Pupil hit the Devil Lord in the chest without any obstruction, easily tearing apart his resilient body and sending him flying.

Meanwhile, Du Sha on the ground clearly hadn’t anticipated that Tang Luo would suffer a severe injury right at the start of the battle, and in his urgency, he fully activated the Stone Heart Bloodline.

Suddenly, the ground twisted into a crystal-colored vortex, and crystal bats surged towards the sky, attempting to block the three people from the Xiang Family.

But the Hundred and Eight Cloud Chains of the Yanyun Grandmaster suddenly flailed wildly, forming a prohibited area, and shattered all the crystal bats that leaped towards him.

“Xiang Zhuang, you go and finish off the Devil Lord. Leave this place to me.”

Having been struck by the Square Heaven Unfixed Divine Pupil, the Devil Lord, Gou Chen, appeared as good as dead in the eyes of Xiang Yan, which meant that Xiang Zhuang should easily handle him.

On the other hand, Du Sha caught his attention, bearing the secret techniques of the Palace of Striking Swan and possessing a Divine Artifact of unknown origin.

He wouldn’t believe that such a person had no schemes up his sleeve, but the Xiang Family was not afraid.

The saying about leaning on a big tree for good shade meant that their actions in Chaochang were protected by the top echelon.

This kind of protection had little effect in family struggles, as those higher up would not expend effort to support a failure. However, when it came to higher-level missions requiring dimensional strikes,

the protection from the upper level became extremely important. Though the Palace of Striking Swan was an ancient sect of Zhongzhou, the people behind them certainly would not fear such a reputation!

…

Taking advantage of the ten strikes of Blood Asura God Shocking Finger from the Devil Lord Gou Chen, Yun Xiu slipped away from the battlefield without anyone noticing.

But getting close to Wu East Street was not as easy as she had imagined.

All the families and civilians of South City had been gathered at South Square, with soldiers from East Camp and private soldiers from the families patrolling throughout the city.

The most heavily fortified areas were the main streets surrounding South Square, and Wu East Street was one of them.

In such a tightly surrounded situation, it was not easy to enter the sewer system. Fortunately, Yun Xiu was well-acquainted with the design of the entire drainage system in Chaochang.

Upon discovering that Wu East Street was impassable, Yun Xiu immediately shifted to East Willow Street, aiming to reach Wu East Street through another sewer system’s formation hub.

This secret waterway did not attract anyone’s attention, allowing Yun Xiu to reach the designated Formation Eye as pointed out by Tang Luo unnoticeably.

However, an unexpected event occurred, after Xiang Zhuang was called away by the Yanyun Grandmaster, Xiang Ziliang, without a moment’s hesitation, pulled the Formation Eye stick and moved the location of the formation hub, leaving its whereabouts unknown.

The frustrated Yun Xiu, after carefully examining the traces, selected a position in the complex underground tunnels and chased after it.
