Chapter 62 Declining
In the sky above Nine Spirits City.
The four figures collided without end, causing rumbling to resound without end. The fluctuations of energy were like enormous rocks that had fallen into a lake, where the waves kept rippling ceaselessly.
It was Xing Mo versus Rong Zun and Pei Qi’ai versus Rong Zhan.
It was a war between Eternal Realm Middle Stage experts.
Two shocking battles broke out at the same time.
Countless people felt their hearts beating wildly.
Right then, the crowd suddenly trembled violently.
It was as if the entire void of heaven and earth was trembling. Xing Mo took a step forward and threw a punch at Rong Zun. When this punch was thrown out, an incomparably fierce and huge fist appeared in the sky. Mists of black smoke swirled around it, making it appear extremely heavy and thick. The power seemed to be able to crush heaven and earth.
At the same time, Pei Qi’ai flipped his palm, and the power of laws gushed out. Countless yellow lights gathered together, and a miniature mountain peak appeared in his palm. He held the peak in his hand and rushed toward the former emperor emeritus, Rong Zhan, causing the heavens and the earth to tremble.
The fist and the punch were both incomparably large and terrifying, rumbling with noise. It was as if Mars was about to smash into Earth, which was disturbing and horrifying.
On the other side, Rong Zun and Rong Zhan, the two terrifying Eternal Realm Middle Stage masters, remained unfazed. They let out furious roars at the same time and threw out a punch. The punch shattered heaven and earth, causing it to tremble.
Two fists collided. One fist and one mountain peak collided.
Boom!
The rumbling sound was like spring thunder, making one tremble. The dazzling light made people dare not look directly at it.
Waves of terrifying hurricane wind tore open numerous extremely powerful rifts.
Those were void rifts.
In merely a single collision, space had already been torn apart, and numerous rifts had appeared.
What kind of power was this?
It was simply terrifying.
In a flash, Rong Zun appeared beside Xing Mo. His palm trembled, and his spatial hand, which could tear through the sky, tried to grab Xing Mo at an incredibly fast speed.
Xing Mo snorted coldly. His body shook, and a bright light shone behind him, forming numerous crystal mirrors that blocked in front of the spatial hand.
Boom! Clack!
As soon as the crystal mirrors made contact with the spatial hand, they were crushed into pieces. However, when the hand tore apart the mirrors and caught Xing Mo, it only crushed his afterimage. His real body had already revealed a cold smile as he looked at Rong Zun.
At the same time, the battle between the other two was extremely intense as well. Even though Rong Zhan and Pei Qi’ai seemed to be weak and aged, the strength of their physical bodies was extremely terrifying. Every single time they collided, the fluctuations of energy they emanated could shatter space.
Although the strength of Rong Zhan was the highest, Pei Qi’ai was not much weaker than him, while Rong Zun and Xing Mo were similar.
For a time, the four were locked in a stalemate.
The battle continued and grew even more intense.
The remaining power of the four people’s collision fell like meteorites and hit every corner of Nine Spirits City.
Although it was a residual power, it was also extremely terrifying. As soon as it touched the ground, it immediately exploded like a bomb, causing layers of fire waves to spread in all directions.
“Jump NOW!”
“AHHHH…”
“The enemy is invading, the enemy is invading, the patriarch is resisting the enemy…”
The power that fell from the sky was so terrifying that the nearby martial artists did not dare to stay any longer. With exclamations, they moved quickly and left the area in a hurry.
“How terrifying!”
Those martial artists who had just escaped from the dangerous area looked up at the sky again. Their eyes trembled, and they were extremely shocked.
Except for the patriarch of the Nine Spirits Tribe, they didn’t know the other three figures. However, when some knowledgeable elders saw the figure in a yellow robe, they looked astounded, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
“It’s the previous patriarch!
“Isn’t it said that he passed away? “But now…”
While many martial artists were shocked or in disbelief, the four figures in the sky continued to collide with each other. The figures flashed, light burst out, and horrible light waves spread out.
The terrifying Qi all fell above Nine Spirits City. Although there was only a wisp of it falling, the damage it caused was also extremely terrifying.
The houses collapsed and the streets cracked. It was a scene of devastation, and everything was in a mess.
A crying child sat helplessly on the ground. Beside him were the corpses of a man and a woman.
The battle between top experts caused ordinary people to suffer.
At this moment, even the powerful martial artists in the God Realm or the Celestial Realm could not resist the power released from the battle. They could only run to the edge of Nine Spirits City in a hurry, hoping that they would not be affected.
In Nine Spirits City, even the air carried a kind of terrifying aura, which spread like a plague.
Within hundreds of meters of the Martial Telling Gate, if it weren’t for Ding Hao, who waved his hand and formed a shield to resist the aftermath, the place would have been turned into ruins.
This made the people of the Crown Prince’s Mansion feel much more relieved.
The four in the battle had the strength of the middle stage in the Eternal Realm. The gap between them and those in the God Realm and the True Immortal Realm was like the difference between a Celestial God and a mortal.
“I wonder if Father and Grandpa can defeat Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai. Yes, they can definitely do it with their strength. I believe in their strength…” Crown Prince Rong Fu, clenched his fists and looked nervous.
Standing not far away, the Third Prince, Rong Si, was also staring at the sky, looking more nervous than anyone else. As for the Glazed Light Barrier that covered him before, it had already been broken and disappeared.
People from the Crown Prince’s Mansion, including Rong Fu the Crown Prince, did not pay attention to him even though they had found out about his situation, because they knew that it would be meaningless for them to deal with Rong Si while those stunningly powerful experts were fighting in the sky. The ultimate winner would be revealed when the fight between those four people ended.
“Wow, these four people are really powerful! Tut-tut, they deserve to be at the middle stage of the Eternal Realm. It’s amazing!” Evil Moon blinked its big eyes and was not nervous at all. It looked like it was watching a good show and even praised them accidentally.
However, the people around Evil Moon were only concerned about the battle in the sky and looked extremely nervous. How could they notice the Fat Cat, let alone hear its voice?
“It’s not good!” Ding Hao looked at the battle in the sky and frowned slightly. Now the four people in the sky seemed to be evenly matched at any time, but Ding Hao knew that the outcome would soon be revealed, and the loser would probably be the Nine Spirits Tribe because Rong Zun was starting to get exhausted.
Outsiders could not see it, but how could Ding Hao, who had powerful cultivation and sharp eyes, not notice that Rong Zun’s Qi began to fluctuate unstably and even decreased a lot? The previous news that Patriarch Rong Zun became obsessed with cultivation, which brought him internal injuries, was very likely to be true.
Xing Mo didn’t seem to be in a hurry. Although he attacked his opponent automatically from time to time, he was just defending himself most of the time. In Ding Hao’s opinion, Xing Mo should have seen the injuries in Rong Zun, so he was deliberately stalling for time.
As expected-
Not long after Ding Hao noticed that, just as Rong Zun was about to make a move against Xing Mo after blocking one move, he suddenly stopped. With a puff, he spat out a mouthful of black blood and half-knelt in the void. His face, which had always been calm, wrinkled at this time, and he looked extremely painful.
Immediately after that, Rong Zun’s chest heaved continuously. His breathing gradually became rapid, and the Qi in his body dropped rapidly. He could not stop trembling, and he looked like he would fall at any time.
“Is Patriarch injured?!”
The people below were shocked and couldn’t believe the scene in front of them. How could their patriarch be injured for no reason? Also, he looked seriously injured.
“How could this be? What happened to Father? Why did he vomit blood? Why is the blood black? Could it be that he was poisoned by that old thief, Xing Mo earlier?” Rong Fu was shocked. He did not understand why his father would suddenly become like this.
“Finally!
“Here comes my chance!”
Unlike other people, the Third Prince, Rong Si, felt relieved and even looked happy.
His father was injured, and he was actually happy.
It seemed that he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Xing Mo, who was standing opposite Rong Zun, had the same expression as the Third Prince, Rong Si.
Xing Mo looked at Rong Zun in front of him, laughed wildly for a while, and then said in a strange tone, “Hahaha, Patriarch Rong, what’s wrong with you? Why did you kneel there all of a sudden? Did you finally figure things out and want to submit yourself to our Evil Yang Tribe? Well, since you’re so sincere and even knelt, I’ll reluctantly agree to accept your Nine Spirits Tribe. Oh, I’m really broad-minded!”
“You… Poof!” Rong Zun couldn’t catch his breath. When he heard these words, his injuries worsened and he spat out another mouthful of black blood. The pain became even more intense, causing cold sweat to break out on his forehead. His hands trembled and his face turned even paler.
“Zun! Bastard, get lost…” Rong Zhan, who was fighting against Pei Qi’ai, froze when he saw this, and he hurriedly struck out with his palm. The strong wind whistled as space shook. After he blocked Pei Pei’ai’s attack, his figure flashed and transformed into numerous rays of light that arrived by the side of Rong Zun like bolts of lightning.
“Zun, you, alas, you’ve really got internal injuries!” Rong Zhan’s eyes were filled with worry. He helped Rong Zun up, and at the same time, placed his right hand on the latter’s back. Waves of Qi that were filled with yang power surged into Rong Zun like tides and entered his body.
“Don’t worry, father. I’m fine. Please don’t waste your Qi…” With the help of the Qi, Rong Zun felt a little better and the pain was reduced a little. However, the Qi had no effect on his injuries at all. At most, it just relieved his pain a bit.
When Pei Qi’ai saw that his opponent had separated from the battle, he didn’t hurry to go after him. Instead, he sneered and came to Xing Mo. “Rong Zhan, it’s not worth it. Even if you inject all your Qi into your son’s body, it will be useless…”
“It’s a pity. Back then, Rong Zun, the patriarch of the Nine Spirits Tribe, was so high-spirited and vigorous that many creatures prostrated before him. But now, he has fallen to such a state. Haha…”
“You!” Rong Zun and Rong Zhan were both patriarchs and therefore, were experienced enough to notice that something was off upon hearing what Pei Qi’ai and Xing Mo said.
Rong Zun was originally in his prime, but he was strangely injured and became weak. That was why he was considering passing on the throne. Previously, because of the invasion of foreign enemies, he suppressed his injuries. Now that he was fighting against a master at the same level as him, his injuries were immediately aggravated.
