Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1091 The Battle

The following day, Yun Lintian and the others strolled around the Boundless City. With the abundance of profound energy and treasures, the city was developed exceptionally well, not inferior to the Azure Ancient City in the slightest. It was no wonder people preferred to come here instead of staying in a heaven-like Blue Oasis village. This place was simply a higher heaven.

"My father told me before that we cannot underestimate the Eastern Continent's forces. Now I understand why." Ren Mingzhu said emotionally as she looked at several monarchs and saints on the street. Instead of staying with her father and relatives in the village, she followed Lei Zhenxiang here.

Although the forces inside the Boundless Desert had nothing to do with the Blazing Sun Palace or other factions on the Eastern Continent, they were still counted as one of the eastern forces.

"This place is even better than most places on the Central Continent. No one wants to leave it after experiencing the environment here." Lei Zhenxiang said while nodding in agreement. Even though he was the palace master, he didn't know much about this place. The environment here gave him a huge surprise, and he felt it was the right decision to come here.

On the side, Han Bingling felt the environment here was good, but it was still inferior to the Land of Beyond Heaven.

While they were walking and talking, everyone suddenly heard a loud cheer coming from the distance ahead. When they looked over, they could see a huge arena crowded with people.

"Oh? Has the competition started already? Let's take a look at it." Han Bingling was surprised and quickly walked toward the arena.

At this moment, two men were engaged in a fierce battle in the arena. From their auras, they were at the middle level of the Monarch Profound Realm. It was no wonder the crowd was excited. After all, where could they see a battle between monarchs often?

"You better give up, Gu Xiao!" The sturdy man wielding a long spear shouted loudly while thrusting his spear forward.

The man with a long sword in his hand, who was called Gu Xiao, snorted coldly. "You better shut up."

As his voice fell, sword energy radiated from him as if it was desired to slay heaven and earth. At the same time, he stabbed his sword forward, creating tidal waves of the sword might, forming into a churning sword energy river that rushed up to the incoming long spear.

Boom!

The tyrannical attacks from both sides slammed on each other, producing terrifying blasts of destructive light to flash through the sky as chaotic currents swirled all over the places.

The protective barriers around the arena shook violently as if they could break at any moment.

Gu Xiao saw the opponent lose his balance. He quickly lifted his other hand and pointed down. In that instant, his sword energy was channeled around his finger, producing an ear-piercing sword hum before beaming toward the man.

Puff!

The man tried his best to block the incoming sword beam with his spear, but it was too late. Before he could do anything further, a giant hole could be seen in his shoulder. With a puffing sound, blood splashed out like a fountain.

His expression was ashen as an intense terror emerged in his heart. "I…"

Gu Xiao didn't give the man a chance to surrender. He executed his movement technique and arrived before the man, swiftly cutting his head off.

The man's head flew into the sky with his eyes widened in disbelief. To his death, he couldn't believe that Gu Xiao was actually daring to kill him.

"How dare you, Gu Xiao!?" An angry roar resounded from the stand, attracting everyone.

Everyone in Yun Lintian's group looked over and saw a white-haired old man shrouded with killing intent. With a glance, Yun Lintian could see this person was the early level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm expert.

Furthermore, there were another ten people on the stand. Each one of them possessed the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm's strength. Even though Yun Lintian had met a lot of Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm powerhouses before, this should be the first time he saw them gather together this many.

Gu Xiao sheathed his sword and turned to look at the old man fearlessly. "Senior, you should know I didn't violate any rules here. You cannot blame me for it… If you want to blame, just blame your disciple for being weak."

As he said, he glanced at a middle-aged man who served as a judge and asked. "Why don't you announce the result?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said. "Gu Xiao of the Desert Wanderer Group wins."

The white-haired old man was furious and turned to look at a charming woman in red several meters away from him. "Are you sure you want to do this, Hong Mei?"

The woman in red, Hong Mei, laughed and said. "Have you gone senile already, Duan Jiangou? Your disciple has repeatedly provoked Xiao'er under your instigation, and now he's dead. You actually asked me this?"

The old man, Duan Jiangou, released unconcealed killing intent and aura while staring at Hong Mei as if he wanted to eat her alive.

The terrifying pressure immediately enveloped the entire area, causing the onlookers to turn pale.

"Calm down, Brother Duan." At this moment, another old man sitting in the middle seat said with a smile. At the same time, he released his aura briefly to resolve the pressure created by Duan Jiangou.

This scene immediately surprised Yun Lintian and the others. Obviously, this old man was far stronger than Duan Jiangou.

"Everything is according to the rules. Gu Xiao has done nothing wrong here. If you really want to cause trouble, you go outside first. Don't make trouble to the people here." The old man said further with a faint smile.

Duan Jiangou clearly didn't want to go against the old man. He cupped his fists and said. "I'm sorry, City Lord Yuan. This old man let my anger win."

The old man, Yuan Duyi, laughed and said. "Understandable. I would, too."

He turned to the judge and said. "Please continue."

The judge nodded and proceeded to call up the next contestants.
