I Can See Your Combat Power
Chapter 1399 - Chapter 1399 Chapter 686 Business (Two-in-One)_2

Chapter 1399: Chapter 686: Business (Two-in-One)_2 Chapter 1399: Chapter 686: Business (Two-in-One)_2 Thousands in the Yun Clan seemed like a dark mass, but how many could combat a Martial Ancestor? They had even begun thinking about how to distribute the Divine Artifacts.

“Shimei has still chosen this path,” said Cao Ziqi with regret to Yun Xiu. “Since that’s the case, I wish the Yun Clan well in the future.”

After he spoke, without summoning the rest of the Fire Department’s elites, he tucked the Ghost King’s golden disc into his breast and casually made his departure, making sure to appear magnanimous in his exit.

Yun Xiu naturally didn’t care for his performance and, looking down at the immobile Fire Department elites, asked, “Aren’t you leaving?”

“As long as Clan Leader Yun hands over the Realm Heart Stone, my men and I will support the Yun Clan, sparing them from the slaughter of the various factions in Chengzhou.”

With Cao Ziqi gone, another, a Garrison Commander with a face full of bristling beard, logically took over the command.

Meng Tuo, who was once a great bandit in the southern heavens and had joined the forces of the Dutian Heavenly King, was there to achieve fame and success. He certainly wouldn’t leave Longyuan for something as trivial as saving face, unlike Cao Ziqi.

From the moment he received the Qionghua Star Lord’s command, his goal was to obtain the Realm Heart Stone to exchange for a position in the Fire Department’s sky patrol.

Now that Cao Ziqi was gone, he could act more freely and express himself without restraint.

“Then let’s see if you have the ability to take the Yun Family’s Realm Heart Stone!”

Yun Xiu’s response was still resolute, not just because of the Divine Artifact Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul and the Supreme Divine Soul, but more importantly, because of that person watching over her above the dark clouds.

Even facing the power of Chengzhou and the royal patrol, she felt at ease.

“You little girl, you will know soon enough.”

The Garrison Commander with the bristly beard laughed and shouted to Ning Bufu, “Clan Leader Ning, the masters from Wuji Mansion and the Evil King Palace will arrive soon; we don’t have much time. Why don’t we form an alliance? The Divine Artifacts will all belong to Chengzhou, and the Realm Heart Stone will go to the royal patrol. Wouldn’t there be joy for all!?”

The audacious Ghost Wolf Bandit Leader made no attempt to hide his words or intentions, openly communicating with Ning Bufu in front of Yun Xiu and tens of thousands of Yun Clan members.

This attitude, treating the Yun Clan like livestock waiting to be slaughtered, also particularly appealed to the taste of Chengzhou’s noble families, causing their representatives to be moved.

Already instructed by Cao Ziqi, Ning Bufu was definitely going to make a move against the Yun Family. How could he reject such a proposal?

He nodded and then, lifting his massive blade, slashed out a sword light spanning hundreds of yards, aiming straight for Yun Xiu’s head.

Yun Xiu, with a gentle wave of her hand, lightly deflected the crimson sword light bearing down on her with a flick of the five-colored radiance from the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul. Her platform flipped, and tigers and leopards sprung forth, colliding with Ning Bufu’s raised war blade, pushing him back.

Taking the initiative with the Divine Artifact, Yun Xiu didn’t want to miss the opportunity. With a turn of her hand, she manipulated the platform in pursuit, continually releasing spiritual beasts with the flipping Refining Heart, pressuring Ning Bufu into a difficult position and decidedly taking the upper hand.

But the fierce attacks of the platform’s secret technique were predicated on Yun Xiu not sparing her Spiritual Power. She couldn’t maintain such ferocity for long, and once her Spiritual Power was exhausted, without the amplification of the divine soul, the platform’s secret techniques would no longer be able to trouble Ning Bufu.

As the battle unfolded above in the skies of Longyuan, the conflict on the ground had also begun.

Yun Clan warriors might not be a match for a peerless blade master like Ning Bufu, but they were more than enough for the noble family Martial Ancestors of Chengzhou.

The weakness of the Yun Family’s main branch’s Spirit Arts was their lack of offensive power, but the resulting tenacity was exceptional.

This resilience was particularly evident when facing opponents of the same level. With several elders leading the charge, each with a Divine Artifact in hand, they could hold their own against multiple enemies.

But, unfortunately, there were simply too many Martial Ancestors who had entered Longyuan this time, including the peak warrior from Fierce Realm, Ghost Wolf Bandit Leader Meng Tuo, who coordinated the Fire Department’s forces with combined attacks handed down from the sacred land, becoming the greatest fear weighing on the Yun Clan’s hearts.

Yun Ji, seeing Meng Tuo’s arrangement, naturally understood that these Fire Department experts were the biggest threat to the Yun Clan. He soared into the sky, summoning the secret platform technique, attempting to disrupt the enemies’ coordinated attacks and buy time for his clan.

But such attacks were insignificant in front of the Ghost Wolf Bandit Leader. Conjuring a Spiritual Bow into a full moon, he pulled spirit arrows onto the dragon sinew bowstring, releasing a stream of nine consecutive stars.

Not only did the beams of light burst through the secret platform technique, but the light arrows also aimed straight at Yun Ji’s heart. Had it not been for the Liuren Longevity Armor’s protection, the outcome could have been determined in an instant, and his life taken.

And Yun Ji, who was sent flying far away by the light arrow with his internal organs and blood churning, also knew that he was no longer able to prevent the formation of King Patrol’s combined strike; his face was filled with despair.

With a brutal excitement, Meng Tuo lowered the spiritual bow and cruelly ordered, “Now you know fear and terror? Too late! Soon, the combined strike will be thrown into the most crowded place. You had to play the hero, this is the price!”

“Uh… got so arrogant with the beard there? Didn’t see that outside…”

Meng Tuo, who was in the middle of his vicious speech, was suddenly mocked and, in a rage, pulled his bow and shot a Pursue-Moon Nine-Link Burst at the source of the voice.

His response was as fast as lightning; he didn’t even see the face of the person who spoke when nine spiritual arrows tore through the sky.

It was not until the spiritual arrows ripped through the heavens and the towering, robust silhouette atop the cloud peak appeared that Meng Tuo’s face dramatically changed, and he wished he could slap himself.

‘How could I have forgotten this ancestor!’

Perhaps blinded by the divine artifact, or maybe because the sudden appearance of Longyuan’s master threw him off balance, the representatives of Chengzhou and the strong men of King Patrol’s Fire Department seemed to have all forgotten Tang Luo’s existence.

So much so that his sudden appearance now gave the chaotic battlefield an abrupt pause.

Everyone stared dumbfounded as the nine spiritual arrows chased by the moon were swallowed by the opening mists and vortices, then spat out, accurately targeting each Martial Ancestor squad that had completed the combined strike, forcing the elite Fire Department to disperse their combined strike.

They dared not redirect the gathered combined strike toward the sky; after all, no one knew the limits of the misty vortex, and if Tang Luo absorbed the combined strike and then covered them, it really would be the end of their lives.

Why did you have to provoke this monster!?

The Martial Ancestors, scrambling to avoid the falling light arrows, cast accusing glances at Meng Tuo, as if to ask.

Meng Tuo was regretting it in his heart; who could have expected that he would, subconsciously, aim at Tang Luo.

This made the atmosphere somewhat inexplicably awkward.

Tang Luo, having returned the light arrow, said indifferently, “You guys are something, promising a peaceful exploration of Longyuan, and as soon as we meet, you draw your bows. Seems like you want it all to yourselves, then I’ll not be polite!”

Tang Luo shook his wrist and, ignoring Meng Tuo who kept saying it was a “misunderstanding”, shouted toward Yun Xiu in the distance, “Hey, a Liuren Longevity Armor for me to deal with King Patrol! Add an Eight Treasure Kasaya, and I’ll take care of this bunch of Chengzhou misfits, how about that?”

Yun Xiu, fully engaged in controlling the Yun Platform, didn’t turn back, answering directly, “Deal!”

Not only did Meng Tuo’s face change, but so did the faces of the Chengzhou representatives engaged in battle with the Yun Clan’s strong men, all dark as ink.

Only Tang Luo laughed heartily, “Fights to be had, divine artifacts to take, Diancang Mountain truly is my blessed place!”

His fists shot out like dragons, his Gang Wave like rain, with arms that had undergone complete Spirit Qualification instantly turning into a storm, countless punches and Gang Waves tearing through the dim sky, coming down upon the heads of the Fire Department.

The shadow of fists infused with quadruple forces was almost comparable to low-grade Xuan level. If there was just one, the elite Martial Ancestors of the Fire Department would naturally be untroubled, but as the saying goes, many ants can kill an elephant. Faced with the dense hurricane of fist shadows like a tempest, anyone could only scurry for cover.

The sight of the eighteen Martial Ancestors of the Fire Department scattering in all directions to raise their protective techniques looked like a dispersed rabble.

No one wanted to face Tang Luo directly; this unsaid agreement was clear. But they were loath to give up everything in Longyuan.

Meng Tuo gritted his teeth, ignoring his subordinate’s cries for help, pulled his bow, and launched a burst of arrows at Yun Xiu, still shouting righteously, “Leave this demon woman to me, Clan Leader Ning, don’t let Tang Luo run wild!”

Yun Xiu, focused on controlling the Yun Platform, feeling the incoming power surge, could only give up control of the Yun Platform, waved her hand to form a great net with five-colored cloud strands, blocking all the incoming spiritual arrows.

Ning Bufu seized the opportunity to slash wildly, the Tiger’s Roar blade’s radiance sweeping in all directions, shattering Yun Xiu’s secret art Yun Platform, then he lifted his blade and slashed down at Yun Xiu, who was still blocking Meng Tuo’s spiritual arrows.

Tang Luo, keeping an eye on the battlefield, spat out an Innate Divine Sword directly targeting Ning Bufu’s forehead, forcing the rampaging tiger of Chengzhou to raise his blade to block, teasingly saying, “Ning the Tiger, that’s not very honorable. If you killed my employer, who would I ask for those two divine artifacts later?”
