Chapter 974 - Heavenly Knights Sect Displaying Its Prowess

Mu Xue’s nonchalant words made the atmosphere even tenser.

“This…”

The elders of the Phaseless Sect, Su Changxiu, Bai Ruoqing, and others from the sects in the Kunlun Immortal World all had an extremely grave look on their faces.

They never knew that this woman was already half a step to the Elixir Realm.

“How could she achieve that?”

Because of the suppression in the secular world, most cultivators could hardly go further after they reached the Heaven Peak Stage.

Though Nan San had just come out of the passage and had not recovered his full strength, he was also half a step to the Elixir Realm.

Nonetheless, Mu Xue killed him with a single strike.

“What exactly was that move she just made?”

Many people did not understand how she thrust the sword forward.

“Supernatural power!”

Someone in the crowd blurted out these two words.

“Hiss!”

The gasping sound of many could be heard. In the Kunlun Immortal World, the most effective and most important art was the supernatural power!

Generally speaking, when one’s secret skill was cultivated to the extreme, coupled with one’s own comprehension, one would have a very dim chance of mastering a unique supernatural power. Every kind of supernatural power could serve as one’s trump card. In normal circumstances, only those above the Elixir Realm Middle-Stage could have an understanding of such power.

“But she is just a secular martial artist. How could she have gotten so far as to generate supernatural power?”

“Retreat!”

The more than a dozen Nan San’s men all looked appalled.

“Go and report this to Nan Qi!”

“Retreat now!”

But as soon as they darted backward, they felt the paralyzing energy.

For a moment, the more than a dozen people felt a chill flashing up their spines, as though they had fallen into an ice cave.

“How could you go without my permission?”

With a glimmer of coldness in his eyes, Chen Changqing leaped, hurtling over.

“Stay here!” Dong Chen laughed and rushed after them as well.

“Hahaha, you seem to have come to the wrong place.”

Sect Leader Mu, Sect Leader Jiang, Zhao Feng, Jiang Yanlan, and a dozen other martial artists pelted forward at an extremely fast speed.

“Kaboom, kaboom, kaboom…”

Powerful attacks were launched one after another. All kinds of dazzling light shone burst out, making many martial artists unable to open their eyes.

“What?”

Su Changxiu’s pupils contracted.

“When have the cultivators of the Kunlun Immortal World ever been chased by secular martial artists?”

The crowd was shocked.

“Don’t you dare run wild!”

The elder of the Phaseless Sect shouted sternly and led the team to race toward them.

At this time, a few other people who were on good terms with the Wind Snow Temple or the Third Prince, Nan Feng, took action as well.

Also, a small number of cultivators wanting to defend the dignity of the Kunlun Immortal World also joined the fight.

The forces fell into a chaotic battle.

Yet, they merely spent two seconds hesitating…

In just two seconds, eight of Nan San’s men had died!

Only about six people left, and three of them sneaked into the passage and went back to report the news.

But the scene seemed to be getting more and more chaotic.

The Third Elder of the Heavenly Knights Sect roared with savage laughter and bellowed, “Today, my sword will destroy Kunlun!”

A long sword appeared in his right hand and hacked horizontally. A jet of cyan sword light that was hundreds of meters long swept across the field, cutting off the top of the mountain in its path, reducing its height by dozens of meters!

Huge rocks flew across the sky, and grass and woods withered away.

This kind of power made many people’s faces pale.

The martial artists around watching the battle retreated again and again. Even the forces of the Kunlun Immortal World helplessly backed off hundreds of meters, leaving a large clearing unoccupied.

The First Elder of the Heavenly Knights Sect, the members of the Shuiyun Sect, and the members of the Luo Fu Sword Sect also rushed to the battlefield one after another.

There were more than 50 people of the Kunlun Immortal World who had joined the battle. The other side had about 100 people. With all those people engaged in a fierce fight, the scene made every onlooker tremble with fear.

“Kaboom, kaboom, kaboom!”

Even the sects in the Kunlun Immortal World were taken by surprise. Some of them had guessed that there might just be a small fight.

But no small fight could be like this!

More than 100 people were fighting at close quarters, causing the wind to blow through this region and the clouds to surge.

“Dear Lord, I can’t stand on my feet anymore. Help me up!” some at the Obvious Strength Stage and the Inward Strength Stage shouted with horror.

Taking advantage of their large number, they were standing in the crowd in the inner area. But at this moment, they were almost sent into the air by the strong wind.

But no one bothered to care about those people, for none of them knew each other.

A lot of people were blown into the air. Fortunately, their physical constitution was good, so they were not seriously injured.

Many at the Vigorous Qi Level and Grand Masters were kind of dumbstruck as they watched the battle.

“This is horrible, dreadful, and frightening! I feel that if I get within 300 meters of the battlefield, I will be killed by the extra energy fluctuations.”

“What kind of battle is this? Why do I feel like I’m watching immortals fighting?”

“The Heavenly Knights Sect is indeed extremely horrific. They’re tying with those from the Holy World.”

“…”

An He, who was standing at the back, looked rather pale.

“The King of Storms… I really don’t deserve this title.

“But one day, I will definitely live up to the title of the King of Storms!”

He started to doubt his outlook. Before this, he was complacent about finally becoming a Wu Dao Grand Master. But now, when he saw the battle going on in front of him, all he felt was fear, as well as a tinge of burning desire to become stronger!

In the area where the members of the Light Cliff were standing.

Watching the scene, Older Martial Brother Jiang’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

“What’s going on? The fight is on now? Crap!”

“Tang,” Wang Guanzhi said to Tang Qingshan, the corner of his mouth quivering, “you see that? Now you know why Mount New Moon is a forbidden area in the martial arts world? Because they… are this powerful.”

“I-I-I-I see,” Tang Qingshan answered with a trembling voice.

Too many people present were dumbfounded. They had never even seen a battle between those in the God Realm, let alone those who were half a step to the Elixir Realm and way stronger than those at the Heaven Peak Stage.

At this moment, the secular martial artists were not the only ones who were in shock.

Even the people of Kunlun Immortal World were alarmed.

“Since when are there so many strong martial artists in the inferior world?”

“Many of them have overcome the bottleneck and are half a step to the Elixir Realm. Once such people come into the Kunlun Immortal World, they will quickly reach the Elixir Realm. There is no doubt that they will at least become a cultivator in the Middle Stage of the Elixir Realm. If lucky, they can even reach the Late Stage of the Elixir Realm. The best of them can even reach the peak of the Elixir Realm!”

“The secular world… Why do I feel that those people we met today are kind of odd?”

“They’re harder to tame than those we recruited last year. When Older Martial Brother Mu and the others came down here last time, nothing special happened during the whole process. He only killed a few at the Heaven Peak Stage as a warning to the others. But now, we’ve only been here for less than an hour, and we’re going to be taught a lesson by the secular martial artists?”

“Our people can’t lose, will they? If they really can’t win, then I’d have to go up and help them no matter what. I wouldn’t care whether they get killed or not on normal days. But today, this is about the face of the Kunlun Immortal World.”

“…”

While they were thinking about this, Mengmeng looked a little dazed.

“Grandpa, Aunty Xue, this fight is getting too fierce.”

Mengmeng abruptly said with a concerned voice, “Would Uncle Chen, Aunty Jiang, Uncle Feng, and the others get hurt?”

“They may even die in this kind of battle, let alone getting hurt.” Zhang Guangyou’s face stiffened for a second. Then, he sighed and said, “My granddaughter, this is the case in the martial arts world. Fighting is inevitable, and casualties are inevitable, too.”

“But I don’t want any of them to get hurt.”

“Therefore, you need to be strong. With great strength, you can protect everything and everyone. Take your father as an example. He has guarded the Heavenly Knights Sect and Mount New Moon all by himself. If it weren’t for him, you might not be able to see me and your grandma. But don’t worry. Your father can solve all the problems, and he is much better than me.” Zhang Guangyou shook his head with resignation.

Hearing that, Mengmeng finally relaxed a little. “Then, should I let Dahei out?”

“Okay.” Zhang Guangyou’s eyes lit up. He almost forgot about this.

In this kind of battle, Dahei’s strong combat capacity could really play an important part. Now the Heavenly Knights Sect was just on the defensive. With Dahei holding some enemies up, they might be able to restore the balance.

“Dahei! Go help them!” Mengmeng called out.

There was no response at all.

“He fell asleep again?”

Mengmeng’s face darkened. She opened her schoolbag only to find that Tiny Tot’s and Dahei’s ears were wrapped by some energy.

“What’s that? Did they cast the energy because they think it’s too noisy outside for them to sleep?”

“Humph!”

Mengmeng reached out and started to pinch Dahei like mad.

“Why are you so unreliable…”

“Woo, woo, woo!”

Dahei was startled. Suddenly, it opened its eyes and jumped out of the schoolbag. After looking left and right, it let out a long breath and thumped its chest in front of Mengmeng a few times, as though saying, “You scared me. It’s fine as long as you’re okay!”

“Go help!”

Mengmeng pointed to the battlefield with a kind of fierce expression.

She now looked like a little girl who was about to rush to the battlefield.

But it was not her who went off to fight. Mengmeng could only cheer at the rear in the face of such a fierce battle. After all, she was the younger generation. It was not fair to compare her with her seniors.

“Woo, woo, woo!”

Dahei’s eyes also turned fierce.

“Swoosh!”

It began to grow bigger and taller. In no time, it had become a huge monster that was 70 meters tall!

With one leap, it went over about seven mountains and reached the battlefield.

“Woo-hoo-hoo!”

Dahei finally had a place to put martial arts in use this time. When Mengmeng was learning martial arts from Zhang Guangyou, Dahei had practiced with her for several years. It had also learned all the martial arts by heart.

With a sweep of his leg, a whole gale came into being. The people on the opposite side were all stunned by this.

“Can’t believe they even have this kind of spirit beast!”

They quickly made the defensive move to block the attack, but they were still sent flying by that kick and landed about dozens of meters away.

Therefore, some of their men in other places were sent to deal with Dahei.

“Kaboom, kaboom, kaboom…”

Now, it seemed that the battle had become white-hot.

Su Changxiu looked at Dahei. He stared at it for quite a while before he slowly muttered, “I’m more and more baffled by their strength. They don’t seem to be as weak as the others have described.”

“The d*mn information errors!”

Some sect members from the Kunlun Immortal World were a little indignant.

“They told us the martial artists in the inferior world were so weak that Nan San and his men alone could crush them. But that’s not correct. It’s exactly because of the information errors that everything has turned out like this. If this kind of strength was still weak, then who else dares to say he is strong in this world with suppression?”

“I can’t believe that the Heavenly Knights Sect can actually stand up to these people as an equal. And the Heavenly Knights Sect is just one sect. If there are more forces like this, things would become tricky.”

“What’s the key thing here? Look at their moves. They have all kinds of secret skills and even supernatural powers. Would you believe this if you didn’t see it with your eyes?”

“…”

The people in the Kunlun Immortal World had their unique understanding and comprehension of supernatural powers. The biggest difference between secret skills and supernatural powers was that the former was an art of nature, but the latter was more artificial.

If a martial artist cultivated his secret skills to the extreme, he would be able to comprehend the ordinary supernatural powers.

Yet, supernatural powers were also divided into different grades. It was obvious that the supernatural powers these people’s mighty moves had displayed were very powerful.

This was only the power of those half a step to the Elixir Realm. If one reached the Elixir Realm, his power would definitely be more impressive.

“Rumble…”

The battle had continued for a good 10 minutes. When everyone’s first wave of anger was almost distinguished, they gradually stopped striking and retreated one after another.

Because they had all realized that they could not do anything to the other side, so had Dong Chen and his men. When they fought, they had to heed the group of Kunlun martial artists behind them. They did not really mean to fight them to the death here.

And the key thing was that the strength of the two parties was almost the same. Perhaps the other party was a little bit stronger. Anyway, Dong Chen could do nothing about it.

Now, he had finally gotten to see how good the cultivators in the Kunlun Immortal World were. As for their strength, he had a clear understanding directly perceived through the fight.

“Never thought that I, Dong Chen, would be able to fight hundreds of rounds against the Kunlun people and draw a tie with them one day.”

Truthfully, he was a little proud. Because all of this was attributable to Zhang Han.

It also made him wonder.

“How would Han defeat them if he were here?”

Zhang Han’s strength was still a mystery to them. No matter when, no matter how greatly their comprehension had improved, they still could not resist Zhang Han’s one strike.

“I’m telling you! You will regret this!”

While retreating, a disciple of the Wind Snow Temple, whose left arm had been injured, gnashed his teeth and yelled, “When Nan Qi comes, it’ll be your doom!”
