Chapter 789: Chapter 414: Brothers Reunite, Assault on the Immortal_2
Under the watch of the Minor Heavenly Path Eye, even the most powerful hiding techniques can be seen through.
Not to mention, in terms of concealing presence, who could surpass these two?
"Tsk tsk, the Immortal Heavenly Venerable actually hid himself in the dirt, how rare indeed."
Xu Yan chuckled.
His gaze fell on the muddy ground beneath the seven Blood Disciples.
It had to be said, Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow also knew that ordinary methods of hiding could not deceive the two, so they had directly hidden underground.
Even leveraging the aura of the Blood Disciples to camouflage themselves, such art of concealment, even if another Immortal Heavenly Venerable came, would probably take quite some time to discover.
They might even fall prey to a surprise attack.
However, how could they possibly deceive Xu Yan and Meng Chong? Under the watch of the Minor Heavenly Path Eye, everything was laid bare.
Even without the Minor Heavenly Path Eye, with their techniques of concealing presence, they would have been able to detect it; it could be said that the other party was too confident and had underestimated Xu Yan and Meng Chong.
"Let's pretend we haven't noticed these few Blood Disciples and go stretch our legs with Xuezhi Mo."
Xu Yan pondered for a moment before suggesting.
Let's see how long this Immortal Heavenly Venerable can keep hiding.
The two left quietly and appeared elsewhere, attracting Xuezhi Mo to chase after them, then they continued to flee, leading Xuezhi Mo away, far from where the Immortal Heavenly Venerable was hiding.
At Spiritual Sovereign Mountain, Red Cat was training the spirit beast army.
Little Ha had returned, and with him came Jiang Buping.
"Where are the First Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother?"
Jiang Buping couldn't help but be astonished by the chaos in the Nine Mountain Realm. It was the first time he had heard of such fierce infighting among the Thirty-six Realms of the Divine Domain.
From this, it could be seen how deep Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow's arrangements were, that as soon as they made a move, such an intense battle erupted.
"At Dahai Mountain, that Xuezhi Mo is chasing after them."
Red Cat raised a paw and pointed in the direction of Dahai Mountain.
"I take my leave then, I am heading to Dahai Mountain."
Jiang Buping did not delay and turned to leave.
"You better be careful, Dahai Mountain is in a standoff with the Wan Family against Thousand Layered Mountain and Horizontal Peak Mountain. Try not to get involved."
Red Cat warned.
"It's a minor matter."
Jiang Buping laughed, he wasn't new to Martial Arts anymore. Having become a castaway, wandering from the Taikun Realm to the Qinghua state, he had long become experienced and shrewd.
Besides, not only had he made a full recovery now, his strength had greatly improved from his peak, his mastery of Martial Arts had become more profound, making it easy for him to navigate the chaotic Nine Mountain Realm.
At Dahai Mountain, Xu Yan and Meng Chong had led Xuezhi Mo far away, then quietly returned.
"Junior Brother, if I could hold the opponent back for a few moments, do you think you could hurt him?"
Xu Yan looked towards the spot where the Immortal Heavenly Venerable was hiding and asked.
Meng Chong pondered, "Sixty percent chance, but I'm not sure how much I could hurt him."
"The Immortal Heavenly Venerable is indeed powerful, especially wielding the power of Domain, but it's not that we absolutely can't counter him. With a sixty percent chance, we can give it a try," Xu Yan said with a fierce glint in his eyes.
"Good, let's give it a try!"
Meng Chong touched his bald head, his face full of excitement.
"To counter the Immortal Heavenly Venerable and let these Divine Realm Warriors know that Immortal Heavenly Venerables can be countered too!" Xu Yan said with a cold smile.
"Big Senior Brother, what about those seven Blood Disciples?"
Wanting to counter the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, these seven Blood Disciples were an obstacle.
"The Wan Family also wants to hunt down the lurking Blood Disciples. Let them send their experts. Since that Immortal Heavenly Venerable intends to ambush us, let's turn it around and ambush him instead," Xu Yan said cheerfully.
In terms of ambushing, he considered himself well-practiced, even more so than the Immortal Heavenly Venerable.
Meng Chong nodded.
Suddenly, Xu Yan raised an eyebrow and pulled out a Communication Talisman.
"Huh, Fifth Junior Brother has come to the Nine Mountain Realm."
Xu Yan was surprised.
He had thought the message would be from Wan Tianlin or Red Cat, but it turned out to be from Jiang Buping.
"Oh, has Fifth Junior Brother succeeded in his training?"
Meng Chong's eyes lit up.
"Fifth Junior Brother has already arrived at Dahai Mountain. He's within the Communication Talisman's range. Let's put aside the matter of countering the Immortal Heavenly Venerable for now and go meet Fifth Junior Brother."
Xu Yan communicated with Jiang Buping, arranging a place to meet, while turning around to leave.
In a certain area of Dahai Mountain, three martial brothers gathered together.
"So this is the Extreme Soul Martial Arts, the power of Slaughter the Soul, even more tyrannical than my Sudden Wind Sword Intent and also more targeted," Xu Yan exclaimed.
"I've only just begun, and I haven't cultivated many of the Extreme Soul Divine Skills," Jiang Buping shook his head and said.
In terms of strength, he was still slightly weaker than the eldest and second senior brothers, mastering too few of the Extreme Soul Martial Arts Divine Skills and having just entered the threshold.
Even under the direct teaching of their master, and having comprehended a particularly lethal Divine Skill, he had only just begun.
"Fifth Junior Brother's Extreme Soul Martial Arts are even harder for ordinary martial artists to defend against. With your current strength, catching them off guard, even an Immortal Heavenly Venerable would be wounded in their divine soul," Xu Yan said gravely.
The essence of Extreme Soul Martial Arts lay in its extremity, and it was precisely because of this that they were harder to defend against. Divine Realm Warriors who had never faced such martial arts would suffer a great disadvantage if caught off guard, even an Immortal Heavenly Venerable.
"I didn't expect the fourth junior brother to have already refined new Communication Talismans. With these, we don't have to worry about the issue of distance affecting our communication," Meng Chong said, holding a Communication Talisman, currently messaging Fang Hao.
After the three brothers caught up, Jiang Buping opened the conversation, "Eldest brother, second brother, I heard that Xuezhi Mo is after you. How about..." His eyes were eager, filled with fierce light.
"Junior brother, such thoughts are good, very good. Our three brothers joining forces to slay an immortal will certainly shake the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow," Xu Yan laughed heartily.
"Xuezhi Mo can wait for now, we're to kill another Immortal Heavenly Venerable. Fifth Junior Brother, your technique of concealing presence should also be able to deceive an Immortal Heavenly Venerable..."
Jiang Buping's arrival, with his significant strength, especially the Extreme Soul Martial Arts, Slaughter the Soul, meant that the three brothers, cooperating together, should have no problem slaying an ordinary Immortal Realm powerhouse.
The three began to discuss how to ambush and kill the Immortal Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow.
Before they acted, they naturally needed to lure Xuezhi Mo away again, away from the lurking place of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, to prevent Xuezhi Mo from coming to aid the Immortal Heavenly Venerable during the ambush.
The seven Blood Disciples, having grown somewhat impatient, intentionally revealed their tracks. Why hadn't Xu Yan and Meng Chong come to attack them yet?
But they dared not act rashly; this was Xuezhi Mo's command. Besides, they were underground, hidden with an Immortal Heavenly Venerable.
"Scum of Netherworld, come and die!"
Suddenly, two figures appeared, launching an attack. It was two clan elders from the Wan Family.
"Not good!"
The complexions of the seven Blood Disciples changed. Xu Yan and Meng Chong hadn't come, but the clan elders of the Wan Family had!
Boom!
The battle erupted, with the seven Blood Disciples fighting against two elders of the Wan Family. Despite the odds of seven against two, they were still no match for the Wan Family's elders and were beaten back, moving further away from the hidden Immortal Heavenly Venerable.
Several meters beneath the ground, an Immortal Heavenly Venerable wearing a cloudy mask watched the receding battle, hesitant about whether to scare away the Wan Family elders.
If he revealed his presence, the Wan Family's Immortal Realm would realize an Immortal Heavenly Venerable was hiding in Dahai Mountain, and Xu Yan and Meng Chong would also get the message, avoiding the trap.
If he took action to kill the Wan Family elders, once he made a move, his whereabouts would also be exposed.
As he hesitated, suddenly, the earth churned, Sword Intent surged, and an image of mountains and rivers appeared, unleashing a fierce sword strike that descended!
Boom!
"Xu Yan!"
In that instant, his aura exploded, the power of an Immortal Heavenly Venerable spreading in all directions, causing the landscape to crumble. A young man wielding a sword struck, with cycles of swords revolving around his body, endlessly flowing.
"It's just right that you've come. Today, I will slay you!"
The Immortal Heavenly Venerable smiled coldly.
Boom, the might of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable unleashed, but immediately his expression subtly changed. When he was about to utilize the power of the domain, he was hindered, as if another force was blocking him.
That was a visage of mountains and rivers, the descending force of the Domain Laws.
"What kind of martial arts is this?" he thought, shocked, his killing intent becoming even more severe. The more of a monster Xu Yan was, the greater the turmoil his death would create!
Boom!
With one strike, the might of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, immensely powerful, tore through the mountains and rivers' visage, striking directly at Xu Yan.
Hum!
Xu Yan's expression remained unchanged as he retreated, his Yin Yang Undying Sword continuously deflecting the force of the strike, and the Imperishable Sword Intent surged like tumultuous waves.
"Immortal Heavenly Venerable, you are but so-so!" Xu Yan smirked contemptuously, feigning a retreat.
"You won't be able to escape!" The Immortal Heavenly Venerable smiled coldly, stepping forward, executing his killing move.
