Chapter 1205: Battle between Peaks

t

Su Tianyun, the Su Clan’s Clan Head, appeared fatigued, his body riddled with wounds. He begged, “I was in the wrong this time. I do not ask for much. How about you give the juniors of my Su Clan a way to live? Cripple their cultivation and let them become ordinary people. As long as they are alive, it would be enough.”

Wang Yang said coldly, “Now you know to beg me? It is not that I did not give you a chance. It is just that you did not cherish it. Furthermore, you even got someone to injure several elders of my Wang Clan.

“The more audacious thing is that person said that for every Su Clan member we kill, he would kill ten of my Wang Clan. This is completely ridiculous!”

Towards the end, Wang Yang’s expression turned angry, and he suddenly stood up.

The strong aura of a half-step Martial Emperor instantly spread out, causing the cultivators who were watching to step back involuntarily.

“Today, I’m going to kill your entire Su Clan. Let’s see how you are going to take revenge!”

The moment Wang Yang said this, all the kneeling Su Clan members changed their expressions greatly, evincing horror at their impending death.

Su Tianyun clenched his teeth, but he did not show much horror in his eyes; there was only some regret.

The Su Clan’s fall to its current state today had nothing to do with Xiao Chen. He was just the trigger.

Su Tianyun should have seen this coming long ago. The favors from his ancestor would not last that long. Tea cooled down after a person left. No matter how glorious his ancestor had been, he was now only a dead person.

[TL Note: Tea cooled down after a person left refers to the superficiality of human relationships.]

Furthermore, the Su Clan’s ancestor had already been dead for five hundred years. After the long passage of time, those past relationships were already no longer reliable.

However, Su Tianyun had not seen that clearly. He had thought that by slowly dragging things out, an opportunity would come from the new blood, allowing the Su Clan to become the overlord of Scorching Flame Island again.

Unfortunately, such a day did not arrive. Instead, Su Tianyun missed his opportunity to leave, resulting in the capture of his entire clan to be killed at will by others.

Actually, Su Tianyun could not be blamed. If not for trying to fulfill his ancestor’s promise, he would not have remained on this Scorching Flame Island.

As for Su Tianyun’s yearning for the clan to be the strongest faction, he was much more indifferent about it than the elders of his Su Clan.

The eyes of the Wang Clan’s Clan Head, Wang Yang, lit up like lanterns as he looked around everywhere like he was waiting for someone to arrive. However, after waiting for a while, no one appeared.

So, Wang Yang withdrew his gaze and made a hand gesture, saying, “Do it!”

Immediately, all the Wang Clan members in the plaza below raised their executioner blade. When these blades landed, all the Su Clan members’ heads would fall to the ground.

The many cultivators standing around watching felt like they could not bear to look. Who could have expected that the Su Clan, which was once vast and mighty, would fall to such a state today?

Killing Qi spread through the entire plaza, and several of the Su Clan descendants could not help choking up and starting to cry.

“Clang!”

Just at this moment, a resonant saber hum came from outside the city. When the sound waves arrived, they brought along a boundlessly strong saber intent, scattering the heavy clouds in the sky.

The sunlight suddenly became twice as bright. All the bladesmen in the entire plaza felt that they could not hold on to their sabers. The Wang Clan’s bladesmen who were prepared to execute the Su Clan were no exception.

All these sabers shook intensely in harmony with this saber hum. Then, finally, they struggled free and flew into the air.

All sorts of sabers gathered in the sky above the plaza, buzzing and trembling, creating a shocking scene.

“What a strong saber intent! The person coming must have a saber soul that is at least fifty percent comprehended.”

“This is an incredible bladesman. The hum of his saber can shock the thousands of bladesmen in the plaza. Truly astonishing!”

“Could this person be the mysterious bladesman who injured several of the Wang Clan’s elders?”

Instantly, a huge commotion broke out in the plaza. Everyone looked towards the direction that the saber hum came from, feeling very curious.

The Wang Clan’s Clan Head seated in the middle of the tall platform showed joy instead of surprise. A heavy murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

“Whoosh!”

A purple electric dragon arrived from the horizon. It was so fast that the physical eye could not catch its movements. Everywhere it passed, a strong saber intent crushed all the sabers in the air into powder.

The moment the electric dragon landed, it turned into a white figure holding a saber. If this was not Xiao Chen, there was no one else it could be.

Xiao Chen clapped his hands, and boundless, seemingly chaotic saber Qi moved about the plaza, cutting the ropes binding the Su Clan members.

“I had been searching for you for two days but to no avail. I thought you were a tortoise hiding in its shell, running away without a trace after obtaining the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance. Unexpectedly, you dared to appear.”

Wang Yang smiled faintly as he said words that surprised Xiao Chen.

To think that Wang Yang also knew about the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance and even tried to lay a trap for Xiao Chen!

Although Xiao Chen was surprised, he did not change his expression, appearing very mysterious. No one could figure out what he was really thinking.

“Hand over the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance, and I’ll let you live. Also, I can let this group of Su Clan trash live.”

Wang Yang had heard about the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance long ago. After all, Martial Emperor Su He remained on Scorching Flame Island all the while and five thousand years had passed. Some news of it was bound to leak out.

As the ruler of Scorching Flame Island, as long as Wang Yang investigated seriously, he was bound to find some clues and learn the truth behind it.

However, the news that Wang Yang received was that it would not be possible to enter the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance unless one was the person who was truly the inheritor, even if one got the key from the Su Clan.

Hence, Wang Yang never tried to obtain the key by force. He also did not hold much hope for the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance.

Firstly, this piece of meat was too fat; he feared that it would be too much for him to handle. Secondly, it was not easy to enter the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance.

However, through his spy at the City Lord’s Residence of the city where the Su Clan was currently based, Wang Yang already more or less guessed Xiao Chen’s identity. Since the treasures of the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance delivered themselves over, naturally he could not miss out on them. The worst case would be him having to give the peak treasures to the faction that supported him.

Xiao Chen said indifferently, “Impressive. You laid such a huge trap in order to lure me over. Do you think that you can handle me?”

A mocking smile appeared on Wang Yang’s face. He said, “In the Human-Demon Sea, there is no lack of demonic geniuses and outstanding talents that can defeat half-step Martial Emperors as Consummation quasi-Emperors.

“However, you are a Great Perfection quasi-Emperor. It is impossible for you to defeat me. I hope you will not make a decision that you will regret.”

Xiao Chen ignored Wang Yang, his gaze fixed on Wang Feng standing beside Wang Yang.

Seeing Xiao Chen look over, Wang Feng felt fear from the bottom of his heart as he took a step back. He could not help thinking and cursing in his heart, The Clan Head is here to protect me. Why am I afraid of this brat?

“What are you looking at? Could it be that you still want to kill me?” Wang Feng cursed boldly.

Xiao Chen replied indifferently, “There is no need to rush to die. It is not your turn yet. Half-step Martial Emperor Wang Yang, do you dare to fight me?!”

Xiao Chen stepped forward and glared piercingly at Wang Yang. If he wanted to kill Wang Feng, he needed to kill this half-step Martial Emperor first.

As long as the half-step Martial Emperor Wang Yang died, no one in the Wang Clan would be able to withstand ten moves from Xiao Chen.

The white-robed Xiao Chen faced the calm half-step Martial Emperor. Without being humble or arrogant, he issued his challenge.

“You are challenging me? Interesting, receive a move from me first.”

Wang Yang put on airs, clearly looking down on Xiao Chen. He did not formally accept Xiao Chen’s challenge. He did not even bother standing up. He simply threw a palm strike.

“Boom!”

With this palm strike, a mysterious phenomenon formed behind Wang Yang. A pillar of flame soared into the sky, instantly igniting half the sky.

This palm strike showed an undoubtedly strong will of fire. Wang Yang truly lived up to his high-ranked Fire Demon bloodline.

When the palm wind swept forward, a heat wave accompanied it. The palm wind and heat wave combined into a huge, formless flame hand that pressed down like a pile of Heaven Subduing Rocks.

“Wang Yang truly lives up to the title of Scorching Flame Island’s strongest overlord. His palm strike is really powerful.”

“I wonder, where is this white-robed person from? He dares to challenge a half-step Martial Emperor as a Great Perfection quasi-Emperor. He must be tired of living.”

“He is overestimating himself somewhat. The ten outstanding talents of the Human-Demon Sea can challenge half-step Martial Emperors because they are Consummation quasi-Emperors. This white-robed bladesman is overconfident.”

“It seems like since ancient times, few could transcend two cultivation grades to challenge a half-step Martial Emperor.”

After seeing Wang Yang’s strength, the crowd that was filled with anticipation for Xiao Chen now supported Wang Yang instead. They shook their heads and sighed.

“I hope you can continue to put on airs like that!” Xiao Chen replied indifferently. He pushed off the ground and unleashed his will of thunder, which almost reached peak Consummation.

Instantly, thunder clouds covered the sky behind Xiao Chen, and deep thunder rumbled. Its vast and majestic aura seemed to overwhelm Wang Yang’s burning sky.

This is still not enough. With a thought, Xiao Chen brought out his seventy-percent-comprehended saber soul. The saber soul and will of thunder merged, forming the puissant lightning saber soul.

Xiao Chen became like a sharp Divine Weapon burning with electricity. As the palm strike approached, he drew his Lunar Shadow Saber.

A brilliant saber light shot out, accompanied by lightning tearing through the sky and resounding thunder.

With a shout, Xiao Chen broke Wang Yang’s flaming palm strike, which possessed an overwhelming aura, with his saber.

Easily and casually. Xiao Chen was no weaker than Wang Yang in terms of aura.

Xiao Chen used the simplest method to silently tell everyone here that Wang Yang did not have the qualification to put on airs before him.

This was like a resounding slap on Wang Yang’s face. Not only was the white-robed Xiao Chen qualified to fight with him, but he also easily broke the Martial Technique Wang Yang used to test him out.

“Kill!”

Since this was Xiao Chen’s first time properly facing a half-step Martial Emperor, he did not hold back at all, unleashing his strong will of thunder and seventy-percent-comprehended saber soul.

He used his Consummation will of thunder and his seventy-percent-comprehended saber soul in tandem with his numerous vast, dense, and pure Heavenly Laws.

Xiao Chen did not lose out to Wang Yang in strength at all. Even though Wang Yang was a half-step Martial Emperor, Xiao Chen was not weaker.

As Xiao Chen flew over, his approach startled the Wang Clan members, prompting them to flee in fear of getting caught up in the shock waves of the big battle.

The blast waves from the flames and saber Qi propagated messily. The saved Su Clan members and the watching cultivators all quickly distanced themselves, going far away from the battlefield.

The seated Wang Yang could no longer maintain his calm and unperturbed appearance when he faced Xiao Chen, who used resplendent and dazzling saber strikes to break his palm winds.
