Chapter 420 The Young Singer's Journey 89
"Just who are these people?" Wuxin asked Xiao Yu eagerly, pointing at the 'immortals' in the arena.
Xiao Yu stared coldly at the chaotic battlefield, an unprecedented indifference appearing on his face: "They are just a bunch of greedy and shameless thieves."
Seeing his unhurried demeanor, Wuxin was so anxious she almost jumped up: "Heavens! Stop talking nonsense! The people who came down are far too strong for us to handle. You should think about what we should do next."
"What's the rush?" Xiao Yu scoffed, suddenly realizing that his mood was strangely calm: "If we can take care of them, then there's no need to run. If we can't beat them, then we can't run even if we want to."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look north, his voice seemingly drifting away on the wind: "It seems... an old friend has arrived."
……
"You may be very powerful in this mortal world, but in front of me..."
The man who knocked Zhao Yuzhen down landed leisurely on the ground, a disdainful smile playing on his lips: "It's nothing but an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating his own strength."
After saying that, his eyes hardened, and he raised his long sword again.
The surging sword energy, carrying overwhelming power, fell towards Zhao Yuzhen.
Witnessing this scene, Li Hanyi's eyes widened in fury. Completely disregarding the other 'immortal' approaching her, she recklessly leaped forward, shielding Zhao Yuzhen. The Iron Horse Ice River Sword, tightly gripped in her hand, was hastily drawn, and she cried out:
"Moonlit Evening and Flowery Morning—"
In an instant, flowers fluttered everywhere, their vibrant colors interspersed with sharp sword energy, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Amidst the dazzling rain of flowers, Li Hanyi moved with lightning speed, cleaving through the blossoms with a single sword strike. The Iron Horse Ice River Sword in her hand met the man's fatal blow.
The man still wore a mocking smile, and his long sword fell down without pause.
The moment the two sword energies collided in mid-air, time seemed to stand still, and then Li Hanyi was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
"puff--"
Li Hanyi spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed right next to Zhao Yuzhen.
"Little fairy!" Zhao Yuzhen quickly hugged Li Hanyi tightly, her eyes filled with anxiety and heartache. "Why were you so foolish? Why did you take that sword for me?"
Li Hanyi forced a smile, trying to comfort Zhao Yuzhen, but as soon as she opened her mouth, blood gushed out uncontrollably.
The man looked at the star-crossed lovers and a malicious smile crept onto his lips: "So you two are a couple. In that case, I will mercifully send you both to the underworld, so that you won't be separated by life and death in this world."
With that, he grinned maliciously and brought his sword down on the two of them again.
At this critical moment, when life and death hung in the balance, a dazzling streak of light suddenly streaked across the northern sky, moving with the speed of a meteor and landing directly in front of the two. Immediately afterward, a powerful palm strike roared out, striking the "immortal" fiercely.
Caught off guard, the "immortal" was sent flying by the sudden palm strike, tumbling several times in the air before finally regaining his balance.
Li Hanyi looked at the pink figure in front of her, her eyes suddenly reddening. She endured the waves of pain all over her body and managed to utter two words with difficulty: "Master... Father".
Seeing this, Nangong Chunshui did not hesitate to inject a stream of true energy into Li Hanyi's body to help her temporarily stabilize her injuries.
Then, he glanced around at the twelve 'immortals' on the field, and looked up at the huge crack in the sky where another 'immortal' could fall at any moment. For a moment, he felt quite troubled and had a headache, and even felt a little overwhelmed.
He abolished the Great Chun Gong and, together with his wife, diligently guarded the northern border, constantly on guard against the "immortals" in the heavens invading the human world through the thin snow and fog of the four borders.
Unexpectedly, trouble broke out in our own backyard.
Because he couldn't defeat Bei Li, Nan Jue stupidly gave the enemy in the sky a location and slashed through the snow mist to lure them down.
Nangong Chunshui glared at Wu Qinghuan, who was fleeing in all directions, with eyes that seemed to want to devour him, and angrily clenched out four words of curse through gritted teeth:
"That idiot!"
After being repelled by Nangong Chunshui, the 'immortal' quickly gathered his companions and said with a solemn expression, "That person should be the guardian of the northern border of this realm. We must eliminate him as soon as possible. It will be troublesome if the guardians of the other three realms arrive."
Upon hearing this, the other 'immortals' immediately changed their expressions, looking at Nangong Chunshui with hostility. At the same time, they tacitly abandoned their attack on Luo Qingyang, Xie Xuan, Su Changhe, Su Muyu, and the others, and instead rushed towards Nangong Chunshui in unison.
Facing the rapidly approaching "immortal," Nangong Chunshui's lips curled into a cold smile, and he shouted loudly, "You've come at the perfect time! I've guarded the northern border for so many years, and I still don't know just how powerful the 'immortal' is. Today, let me experience it for myself."
Back then, Su Xinghe was able to fight his way up to the heavens, making the 'immortals' dare not easily set foot in the mortal realm again.
As for Nangong Chunshui, he once boasted that he was the best in the world. If he couldn't easily deal with these so-called "immortals" in front of him, wouldn't he be unworthy of the title of "best in the world"?
With a forceful shake of her pink sleeve, a tremendous power surged forth, instantly sweeping across the surroundings.
Ji Ruofeng once assessed the levels of martial arts in the world, setting the highest realm as the Divine Realm of Profound Journey.
However, this realm is like a castle in the air; no one has ever witnessed it firsthand, so it is mostly passed down as a legend.
Only now have people realized that there are always people more capable than oneself, and that wandering in the mystical realm is not just a fantasy.
However, their imaginations were limited, and they mistakenly believed that the reason why Nangong Chunshui and those "immortals" who descended from the sky were so powerful was because they had all reached the realm of divine travel.
Little did they know that Nangong Chunshui's strength had already surpassed the Divine Realm and reached a much higher level.
Those "immortals" who descended from the sky also possessed cultivation levels that surpassed those of the Divine Realm.
As soon as the two sides started fighting, the sky and earth changed color, the grass and trees bowed their heads, and the power of heaven and earth was unleashed at will.
The palm wind and sword energy that are inadvertently revealed are enough to make people around them tremble with fear and change color, even if they are watching from a distance.
Gazing at the breathtaking fight scene before them, the onlookers felt a mixture of fear and an irrepressible fervor and longing.
To avoid being drawn into this extraordinary battle, the ordinary soldiers of both countries had already retreated several miles, giving up enough space for this epic showdown, and simply watching from afar.
