“Hahaha, all Tianmen disciples, including a renowned deputy hall master—kill them!” Liu Yan laughed maniacally, his Martial Venerable aura surging. Torrential Martial Venerable power roared forth, charging at Yu Jinge.
From two other directions, Gong Hongyun and the other Martial Venerable launched attacks, joined by the others, their unmatched energy overwhelming Yu Jinge’s group of over ten.
“Chi!”
At that moment, Yu Jinge threw out four formation platforms, positioning them around the group. Dazzling light erupted, blocking the torrential forces.
As the platforms’ energy neared depletion, four powerful beams shot out in all directions, each carrying Martial Venerable-level power.
These formation stones, crafted by Ma Bi, were held only by key Tianmen figures. They provided defense and unleashed counterattacks, catching enemies off guard.
Seeing this, Liu Yan and his group were shocked. They hadn’t expected Martial King realm disciples to wield such powerful means.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” …
Liu Yan’s forces hurriedly retreated or activated defenses, but the four beams were too strong, striking in all directions. Even Liu Yan, facing one head-on, was forced back.
The other three beams hit undefended areas, blasting a group of enemies away.
“Scatter!”
Yu Jinge shouted, and the dozen disciples dispersed in all directions.
This was a tactic to escape encirclement—when facing overwhelming enemies, scattering increased the chance of escape.
“Hmph, think you can escape so easily? Kill them!” Liu Yan roared, unleashing powerful force towards Yu Jinge.
Boom!
A dazzling saber aura burst forth, carrying unmatched might, striking at Yu Jinge.
“You can’t keep me here!” Yu Jinge turned, throwing a seemingly ordinary punch. But as it struck, a deafening beastly roar erupted.
Roar!
A massive crocodile head phantom appeared before Yu Jinge’s fist, stirring winds and clouds, dimming the heavens. A terrifying primordial aura surged, sweeping all directions.
Immense power condensed into a dazzling fist aura, radiating torrential fluctuations, clashing with Liu Yan’s saber aura.
“Rumble!”
With a thunderous boom, Liu Yan’s saber aura shattered, and vast shockwaves surged towards him.
Bang!
Though Liu Yan activated elemental protection, he was still blasted far back.
“What!”
Seeing this, Gong Hongyun and the Yuan family Martial Venerable were stunned. A peak Martial King was this powerful?
Immediately, they abandoned chasing the others, both attacking Yu Jinge.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Their fierce attacks caught Yu Jinge off guard, forcing him back repeatedly.
“Deputy Hall Master!”
The others, shocked, turned back from their escape, attacking their pursuers.
“Get out of here! I have a way to escape!” Yu Jinge shouted.
Hesitating briefly, the group attacked their foes while retreating.
“No one’s escaping!” Liu Yan roared. “Kill them all!”
He charged at Yu Jinge, coordinating with the other two.
Though Gong Hongyun and the other attacked Yu Jinge, making escape difficult, Liu Yan chose not to pursue the others, focusing on surrounding Yu Jinge.
For Tianmen, a genius like Yu Jinge was a priority target; the others were insignificant.
Roar!
Yu Jinge unleashed another Crocodile Roar Inheritance punch, repelling one attacker.
But having just reached Martial King Ninth Realm, he couldn’t overcome the cultivation gap to heavily injure them. After repelling one, the other two struck, forcing blood from his mouth.
Yet, defeating him quickly was impossible. His dazzling fist auras kept blooming, the four clashing fiercely, their radiant lights illuminating the area, shaking the earth with countless craters.
The battle lasted a quarter-hour.
Except for a few who escaped to report, the rest were trapped.
Boom!
Seizing a chance, Yu Jinge blasted the Yuan family Martial Venerable, who spat blood and crashed into a hill, raising clouds of dust.
Clearly, the Yuan elder was injured.
But at that moment, Liu Yan slashed from the side, a terrifying saber aura striking Yu Jinge.
Unable to block, Yu Jinge was hit, his body nearly cleaved, flying back bloodied.
“Die!” Gong Hongyun drew his longbow, an arrow glowing with golden light, carrying unmatched power like a rainbow, shooting towards Yu Jinge.
Already gravely injured by Liu Yan, Yu Jinge couldn’t block the sudden arrow speeding towards him.
“Deputy Hall Master!”
The surrounding group shouted, but no matter how they struggled, they couldn’t break free, as their enemies were just as strong and outnumbered them.
As the golden arrow neared Yu Jinge’s chest, Liu Yan and Gong Hongyun’s eyes gleamed coldly.
“Chi!”
But just as the sharp arrow was about to pierce Yu Jinge’s chest, a figure appeared from the void, grabbing the arrow with unmatched force, a shockwave bursting from it.
“What!”
Liu Yan and Gong Hongyun were stunned. Though they couldn’t see the figure’s face, its sudden appearance before Yu Jinge was unbelievable.
They hadn’t seen where it came from, as if it emerged from the void. No one’s speed could be so fast that their Martial Venerable cultivation couldn’t detect it, could it?
Unless it was a Martial Monarch!
But a Martial Monarch wouldn’t appear in this battlefield to save a Martial King disciple.
And to catch the arrow barehanded without flinching—the physical strength was unimaginable.
The fiercely fighting onlookers were equally shocked.
Even Yu Jinge was stunned, never expecting someone to save him at the last moment.
Staring at the figure’s side, Yu Jinge felt a sense of familiarity. When the figure turned, he was utterly shocked.
