C483 stand-off

Previously, Xue Hu and the others hadn't believed Ye Daoxuan's words at all. Now that Ye Daoxuan had revealed his true strength, the four couldn't help but believe him somewhat.

A martial artist who could hide his own cultivation level until the point where even stronger martial artists were unable to see through him, he was definitely a terrifying existence. Although Ye Daoxuan was only a Nascent Soul martial artist, but the blood wolf had underestimated its opponent, and could very possibly be killed by him.

Between martial artists, although there weren't many instances where one could jump ranks and win a battle, it wasn't impossible.

"Little bastard, were you the one who killed the blood wolf?"

The blood tiger angrily asked. The bloody aura around it surged and its battle intent began to rapidly increase. With a wave of its hand, a blood blade spirit artifact appeared in its hand.

At the same time, the blood leopard, blood lion, and blood fox had spirit artifacts in their hands as well. Obviously, they were already prepared to make their move.

With tens of thousands of Ten Thousand Beast City disciples surrounding them in the distance, no matter how strong the combined forces of Blood Leopard and the other three were, they knew that if they wanted to escape successfully this time, they would not be able to survive a fierce battle.

"Ye Xiaoyou, watch the battle from the side first. Leave these four people to me!"

A thunderous voice resounded in Ye Daoxuan's ears. Ye Daoxuan looked at him from afar and smiled, "Alright, City Lord Lei, I will help you arrange a formation!"

Lei Peng was a powerhouse at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, and he did not even put Xue Hu and the other two mid stage Nascent Soul Stage disciples in his eyes. When he thought about how his sect's genius disciples had died in the hands of the four of them, he could not help but be filled with hatred and shouted, "Bastard, you killed my WanShou City disciples, you guys will pay with your lives!"

Just like Ye Daoxuan had guessed, the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beast City, Lei Peng, was also a special bloodline martial artist. However, Ye Daoxuan had originally thought that Lei Peng had a thunder-attribute bloodline, but he never thought that he actually had fire-attribute bloodline.

Lei Peng's spirit artifact was a gigantic, entirely red sword. It was as if he had just taken it out of a fire. As he gripped it tightly in his hand, a scorching aura emanated from the sword, igniting the air around it and causing sizzling sounds.

"Burning Star Sword!"

As Lei Peng shouted, the huge sword in his hand trembled slightly and released a dazzling spark about the size of a fist. Then, the giant sword was swung and that cluster of sparks shot towards the four people of the Blood Tiger Sect like an arrow that had been shot from a bow.

This sword strike seemed calm and unthreatening, however, when a True Soul Stage expert attacked, how could the blood tiger and the other four dare to underestimate its opponent?

The four were already on guard. When they saw Lei Peng swing out his sword, the three of them instantly moved behind the blood lion. The three of them simultaneously placed their palms on the back of the blood lion.

At this moment, the four of them were like a single entity. Their true energy was completely concentrated on the blood tiger alone, and the four of them seemed to have some sort of secret technique that allowed them to absorb true energy from the surroundings.

"Blood Waves overflowing the heavens!"

The blood tiger let out a lion's roar as it suddenly pushed its palms forward. A huge wave of blood appeared out of thin air in front of him as it swept towards Lei Peng with the might of the heavens and earth.

Halfway through, the dazzling spark from Lei Peng's giant sword collided with the heaven overflowing blood wave from the combined attack of the four Blood Tigers. Then, like a bright firework, it exploded with a loud bang and turned into a sea of fire hundreds of miles in radius, completely surrounding the four men.

The power of the sacred fire was far from that of an ordinary fire. The high temperature of the sacred fire was able to melt iron and turn steel. For the weaker martial artists, as long as they were touched by even a little of his sacred fire, they would be turned into ashes.

"What a powerful move. If I were to fight Lei Peng, I would probably be forced to use those forbidden moves if I wanted to win!"

Ye Daoxuan watched the battle from afar and sighed at the strength of the peak Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses. He pondered on how he would respond if he were to encounter such an attack.

"The combined strength of the four Blood Shadow Sect disciples are actually not weaker than Lei Peng at all! It seems like it was a wise decision for me to ask Lei Peng to join hands with me. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to destroy all four of them! These four individuals should belong to the upper echelons of Blood Shadow Sect. However, I wonder how strong the Blood Shadow Sect's Sect Leader is. "

Back then, he thought that the Blood Shadow Sect was extremely powerful, and it was even harder than ascending to heaven to fulfill his wish. But now, as his strength increased step by step, his horizons expanded step, and he felt that the Blood Shadow Sect was not as powerful as he had imagined. No matter how strong the Blood Shadow Sect was, how could they be stronger than the War God Palace and the Heavenly Dao Sect?

Ye Daoxuan had become increasingly confident in his own strength. He even believed that if he went crazy and dared to make a ruckus in the War God's Palace, he would be able to escape unscathed.

As long as he could find the base of the Blood Shadow Sect, Ye Daoxuan believed that it would no longer be a distant matter for him to eliminate the Blood Shadow Sect. Moreover, he might be able to fulfill his five-year agreement with Hunyuan.

Amidst the raging fire, the Blood Lion's angry roars continued to echo out. As his palm continued to strike out, the sea of fire that surrounded the four of them was actually forced farther and farther away, no longer able to get close to them.

That sea of fire was formed by Lei Peng's true essence. It had already persisted for a long time, and had consumed a great deal of Lei Peng's true essence. As the two sides faced off, Lei Peng felt as if he couldn't continue any longer.

However, Lei Peng knew that if he gave up on attacking, the four of them could have immediately escaped. With their fighting strength, the tens of thousands of Ten Thousand Beast City disciples surrounding them might not be able to stop them.

Lei Peng hated the four of them to the bones when they heard that they had killed so many geniuses of the WanShou City. He was unwilling to let them escape, so he could only continue to channel his true essence. Sweat was already trickling down his forehead.

The consumption of Lei Peng's true essence was enormous, and the four Blood Tiger disciples were also suffering. However, they knew that in this battle of strength, the four of them would definitely emerge victorious. As long as Lei Peng retreated, the four of them would be able to escape.

Although there was Ye Daoxuan, who had just entered the Nascent Soul Stage, on the side, who was eyeing him covetously, the four of them could no longer pay attention to him. Moreover, they were certain that the heaven overflowing waves of blood and flames formed when the four of them fought with Lei Peng, while the others could not even get close. Even if Ye Daoxuan wanted to help Lei Peng, as long as his true essence or divine will attack came into contact with the sea of fire and blood, it would instantly turn into nothingness.

In fact, not only the four of them, even Lei Peng had lost his confidence in Ye Daoxuan after witnessing the power of the four combined attack. Right now, among the three parties, Lei Peng and the blood tiger were fighting like two fierce wolves, and Ye Daoxuan, the lamb of Ye Daoxuan, was the one who was unlucky enough to interfere.

However, whether it was Lei Peng, Xue Hu, or anyone else, none of them would have thought that Ye Daoxuan, this' lamb ', was about to transform into a fierce tiger and launch a fatal attack.

"City Lord Lei, please hold on for a moment. Wait for me to lend you a helping hand and kill these four experts from the Blood Shadow Sect in one fell swoop!"

Just as Lei Peng was about to run out of true essence and wanted to give up his confrontation with the blood tiger and the others, Ye Daoxuan's voice suddenly sounded out.

Lei Peng was stunned. He was skeptical of Ye Daoxuan's words, but soon after, he felt a terrifying battle intent that was not inferior to his own peak rise up, enveloping Blood Tiger and the others and locking them down.
