4317 The Supreme Powerhouse From the Nangong Clan
Hong Yi Feng was very confident, and he had every right to be confident. His strongest law was the law of metal, and he had long comprehended the law of metal to the point where it could manifest the phenomenon that shone for ten million miles. Some time ago, he had a fortuitous encounter and managed to comprehend the law of his fire, which used to be his second strongest law, to the point where it could manifest the phenomenon that shone for ten million miles.
An intermediate Supreme God who comprehended any law to the point where it could manifest a phenomenon that shone for ten million miles was definitely a top intermediate Supreme God even if he or she did not master any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. If he or she comprehended any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, even if he or she had just begun to comprehend it, he or she would be the strongest among the top intermediate Supreme Gods. Yang Yu Chen, Nangong Liu Yun, and his two companions were such an existence. One could only imagine how powerful Hong Yi Feng, who had comprehended two laws that could manifest a phenomenon that shone for ten million miles and the Mastery Dao, was.
“You won’t be able to escape…”
Yang Yu Chen’s injuries were not serious. As such, he quickly regained his energy after taking a few healing divine pills. He did not waste time and attacked Nangong Liu Yun and his companion along with Hong Yi Feng.
Hong Yi Feng was very strong, to begin with, and his strength was further boosted by his law of metal. For this reason, he was not at a disadvantage when faced with Nangong Liu Yun who possessed the bloodline power. Moreover, his doppelganger from the law of fire was also very powerful. Once it returned to his body, his strength would be boosted again to the point where he would be stronger than Nangong Liu Yun even if there were two Nangong Liu Yun. In fact, if Nangong Liu Yun had a twin brother, he still would be stronger than Nangong Liu Yun and his twin brother. One had to know that due to the connection between twins, they were much stronger when they joined forces compared to ordinary people joining forces.
It was not surprising that Nangong Liu Yun and his companion were helpless against Hong Yi Feng. No matter how they tried to escape from Hong Yi Feng, they were still thwarted by Hong Yi Feng. Coupled with Yang Yu Chen, they fell further into despair.
The duo almost went crazy with anxiousness as they fell further and further into a disadvantageous position.
Nangong Liu Yun’s expression was extremely unsightly at this moment. He did not expect that he would fall into such a state after gaining the upper hand earlier. If Hong Yi Feng did not intervene earlier, he was confident he would be able to kill Yang Yu Chen in another dozen or so breaths. Alas, the terrifyingly strong Hong Yi Feng appeared at the critical moment.
Nangong Liu Yun was a proud prodigy of a prime supreme-rank clan and was highly valued by his clan’s supreme powerhouse. As such, he knew very well that with Hong Yi Feng’s current strength, there was no intermediate Supreme God in the God Defying World who was stronger than Hong Yi Feng.
‘In the past, Hong Yi Feng was just a top intermediate Supreme God… Now his strength has far surpassed even the strongest top intermediate Supreme God. What fortuitous encounter did he run into?’
While Nangong Liu Yun tried to escape, many thoughts appeared in his mind.
‘Do I have to use the life-saving jade token that the ancestor gave me? If the ancestor shows up and intervenes, he’ll violate the rules of the Realm Battlefield and the advanced chaotic region. At that time, even my chaotic points will be deducted…’
Nangong Liu Yun felt unwilling and frustrated when he thought about this. He could not accept the loss of his chaotic points. As for his ancestor, he did not care if his ancestor was punished for breaking the rules. In his opinion, it had nothing to do with him. He felt a little guilty at most, but feeling slightly guilty was nothing when faced with death.
‘Perhaps, I’ll wait for Ning Xiao Xiang to use the life-saving jade token his ancestor gave him…’
When this thought appeared in Nangong Liu Yun’s mind, a sly expression on his face. However, in the next moment, he realized that it was just wishful thinking.
Ning Xiao Xiang said through Voice Transmission, “Nangong Liu Yun, I only agreed to help you today due to the rewards you promised me. My life is in danger now because of you. Now that things have reached this state, you’re still unwilling to use the life-saving jade token that your ancestor gave you? Don’t tell me that you’re waiting for me to use the life-saving jade token my ancestor gave me. If that’s the case, you can keep dreaming.”
Ning Xiao Xiang continued to say through Voice Transmission, “I think that if I surrender now and offer up something in return, they’ll spare my life. However, the same can’t be said for you. You can only die if you don’t use the life-saving jade token that your ancestor gave you.”
Ning Xiao Xiang was furious that he was implicated because of Nangong Liu Yun. Although he and Nangong Liu Yun were both proud prodigies of a prime supreme-rank force, they were not very close and were only acquaintances at best. He had only agreed to help Nangong Liu Yun kill Yang Yu Chen after Nangong Liu Yun promised to reward him.
Conversely, Qiu Ming, who was killed by Hong Yi Feng, voluntarily helped Nangong Liu Yun without the promise of rewards. They were cousins, after all.
After listening to Ning Xiao Xiang’s words, Nangong Liu Yun knew he had no choice but to use the life-saving jade token that his ancestor gave him. When he saw Yang Yu Chen and Hong Yi Feng charging toward him, he no longer hesitated and quickly crushed the life-saving jade token.
As soon as the jade token shattered, a terrifying energy swept out before a face appeared in the air and easily blocked Yang Yu Chen and Hong Yi Feng’s attacks. However, after blocking the attacks, the face turned slightly blurry. Nonetheless, one could still see that the face belonged to a middle-aged man.
After glancing at Hong Yi Feng, the majestic middle-aged man shifted his eyes to Nangong Liu Yun and said in a stern and cold voice, “You’re no match for your opponents even though you have the help of the boy from the Ning clan?”
Clearly, the middle-aged man knew who Ning Xiao Xiang was.
Ning Xiao Xiang respectfully greeted the middle-aged man. “Greetings, Senior Nangong!”
At this time, Hong Yi Feng and Yang Yu Chen finally ceased their attacks. After all, the other party was a supreme powerhouse; it was not wise for them to offend him. Even if they were not afraid of the supreme powerhouse here, who knew what would happen in the future? In the future, they would definitely head to the Outer Boundary. At that time, who knew if the supreme powerhouse from the Nangong clan would make a move against them?
Nonetheless, if the supreme powerhouse from the Nangong clan wanted to save Nangong Liu Yun’s life, he would have to offer something in return. Otherwise, Hong Yi Feng and Yang Yu Chen still would not let Nangong Liu Yun go.
Yang Yu Chen said to Hong Yi Feng through Voice Transmission, sounding a little helpless, “Second Senior Brother, when do you think Eldest Senior Sister will become a supreme powerhouse? If she’s a supreme powerhouse, we won’t have to feel afraid even if a supreme powerhouse shows up…”
Hong Yi Feng replied, “I don’t know. It’s not so easy to become a supreme powerhouse after all.”
As the supreme powerhouse from the Nangong clan reprimanded Nangong Liu Yun, Hong Yi Feng continued to say to Yang Yu Chen, “Third Junior Brother, you have to prepare yourself. I’m afraid we won’t be able to kill Nangong Liu Yun today.”
Hong Yi Feng knew that his Third Junior Brother, Yang Yu Chen, was kind and gentle, but he also knew that his Third Junior Brother was vengeful and not one to easily compromise.
Upon hearing Hong Yi Feng’s words, Yang Yu Chen said with a hint of helplessness, “Second Senior Brother, I’m already past the age of recklessness. After you ran away, I took over the Inner Palace faction and became a Vice Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy. I’ve become more flexible. I’ll definitely kill Nangong Liu Yun if I’m given a chance in the future, but for now, let’s just get as much compensation as we can from the Nangong clan’s old geezer. This is the advanced chaotic region. If he makes a move here, the consequences are much more serious compared to the Realm Battlefield…”
Hong Yi Feng felt relieved after hearing Yang Yu Chen’s reply. He was worried that his Third Junior Brother would insist on killing Nangong Liu Yun today.
…
At the same time, the onlookers were shocked. This was their first time seeing the projection of a supreme powerhouse from a life-saving jade token, after all.
“Is he the supreme powerhouse from the Profound Energy Land’s Nangong clan?”
“I heard that a terrifying defensive energy will appear once someone crushes a supreme powerhouse’s life-saving jade token. I finally witnessed it with my own eyes today! The energy easily neutralized those two’s attacks earlier…”
“The defensive energy will only appear at the moment the jade token is crushed. If one wants to survive, it’ll still have to depend on whether the supreme powerhouse is willing to make a move or not. If the supreme powerhouse doesn’t make a move, one will still die.”
“That’s the supreme powerhouse from the Nangong clan… This means that the young man who crushed the jade token is from the Profound Energy Land’s Nangong clan.”
Everyone looked at the face in the air curiously. Although it was just a projection, the pressure it emitted was very oppressive and suffocating. This was not surprising since supreme powerhouses were the strongest in the world.
“So he’s a supreme powerhouse…”
“I didn’t expect to be able to see a supreme powerhouse in my life… Even if it’s just a projection, I can brag about it for the rest of my life…”
…
While the crowd was talking excitedly among themselves, the supreme powerhouse from the Nangong clan finally stopped reprimanding Nangong Liu Yun. He turned to look at Hong Yi Feng and Yang Yu Chen before he asked, “Are you Huangfu Meng Yuan’s junior brothers?”
The expression of the supreme powerhouse from the Nangong clan eased a lot when he looked at Yang Yu Chen and Hong Yi Feng. In fact, he was even smiling faintly.
Huangfu Meng Yuan was the Eldest Senior Sister of Hong Yi Feng, Yang Yu Chen, Lang Chun Yuan, and Duan Ling Tian.
“Senior, do you know my Eldest Senior Sister?” Hong Yi Feng asked with a smile, acting as though nothing had happened earlier.
On the contrary, a slight frown could be seen on Yang Yu Chen’s face. When the supreme powerhouse from the Nangong clan suddenly mentioned his Eldest Senior Sister, he could not help but wonder if the supreme powerhouse wanted to threaten them using his Eldest Senior Sister. With this thought in mind, his expression naturally turned frosty.
