“Good courage!” Chu Tie roared loudly. He leaped into the air. Claw shadows shot out, flashing like lightning toward Li Feng.
“Seeking death.” Xue Ying snorted coldly. His figure had already shot out from beside Li Feng. While still in mid-air, he struck out with a palm.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out. The claw shadows were instantly blasted away by the palm strike.
“Good courage, daring to block me. Today this old man will kill you.” Chu Tie sneered. He twisted his body in mid-air and pounced toward Xue Ying.
“Today I will let you know that even among Innate experts, there is still a gap in strength.”
“Hmph, with just you?” Xue Ying sneered. Layers upon layers of palm shadows surged fiercely toward Chu Tie, enveloping him from all directions.
Chu Tie also sneered. His hands turned into sharp claws. They transformed into countless claw shadows that met Xue Ying’s incoming palm strikes.
Boom boom boom…
The fierce palm shadows collided with the tricky claw shadows. Explosive sounds erupted. Energetic waves scattered in all directions, sending sand and stones flying.
“Not bad strength. But unfortunately, you have only recently broken through to the Innate realm. You are still not enough to deal with me, Chu Tie.” Chu Tie sneered while continuing his attacks.
Whoosh!
Chu Tie swung out a claw. It bloomed like a hundred flowers. In the void, dense claw shadows filled the air.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle…
The claw shadows tore through the air with sharp whistling sounds. They covered the sky and earth as they enveloped the position where Xue Ying stood. The overwhelming claw shadows almost completely shrouded Xue Ying.
Xue Ying sneered. Chu Tie’s strength was indeed greater than his, but wanting to kill him was nothing more than a dream.
Whoosh!
Xue Ying’s figure was instantly pierced through and vanished into thin air. It had only been an afterimage.
“Damn it.” Chu Tie flew into a rage out of humiliation. He let out a low shout. The gang energy in his hands surged violently. It transformed into countless claw shadows like a giant net that shot toward Xue Ying.
Xue Ying’s gaze turned sharp. His figure flashed like lightning. He weaved through the dense claw shadows. Palm strikes shot out from his hands one after another.
Boom boom boom…
“Is this a battle between Innate experts?”
“What terrifying combat.”
“It is simply unstoppable.”
The rogue cultivators in front of the Main Hall watched the fight between Chu Tie and Xue Ying with faces full of shock. Even though they had retreated far away during the clash, the energetic waves bursting from their fight still stung their faces painfully.
“Now is the time.” At this moment, Chu Kuang snorted coldly. His figure shot out like lightning. While in mid-air, two massive claw shadows instantly burst forth.
Sizzle!
The claw shadows pierced flesh. Xue Ying let out a muffled groan and flew backward.
He flipped in the air and landed on the ground. His face turned livid as he looked at Chu Kuang. He never expected to be ambushed.
“Damn it.” A cold killing intent flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. Although Xue Ying had only recently broken through to the Innate realm, he was not necessarily inferior to Chu Tie. But now that Chu Kuang had ambushed him and injured him, even if Xue Ying faced Chu Tie alone, he had no chance of winning. Let alone facing both Chu Tie and Chu Kuang together.
“Tianshan Twin Heroes, what great Tianshan Twin Heroes.” Li Feng gritted his teeth as he looked at Chu Tie and Chu Kuang. He knew he had been careless. He had never expected Chu Kuang to launch a sneak attack.
This was a lesson. A lesson written in blood.
“Come back.” Li Feng called out to Xue Ying.
“Master, this subordinate deserves death.” Xue Ying knelt on the ground in shame.
Master?
Hearing Xue Ying’s words, the rogue cultivators who had been shocked by Chu Kuang’s successful ambush on Xue Ying now showed expressions of horror.
The word “master” was not something said casually. They had originally thought Xue Ying was Li Feng’s subordinate, perhaps arranged by Li Feng’s elders to protect him. But now Xue Ying called Li Feng “master”. Clearly their earlier guess had been wrong.
“This has nothing to do with you.” Li Feng waved his hand to let Xue Ying stand aside. Then he coldly looked at Chu Kuang and Chu Tie.
“Hahaha, kid, are you very angry?” Chu Kuang laughed loudly as he looked at Li Feng. His tone was filled with smugness. Although the ambush had not killed Xue Ying, injuring him meant they now had one less major enemy.
“Angry? You do not even have the qualifications to make me angry.” Li Feng sneered.
“You…” Chu Kuang flew into a rage. He coldly looked at Li Feng and said, “Fine, fine, fine. Today I will first kill your subordinate, then cut you into a thousand pieces.”
“With just you?” Li Feng sneered and said, “Third Uncle, kill these two bastards.”
“Yes.” Nangong Wu responded. He turned to look at the Tianshan Twin Heroes. With a cold laugh, he said, “Two pieces of trash. You had better come at me together. I hope you do not disappoint me. At least let me warm up a little.”
Hearing Nangong Wu’s words, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of both Chu Kuang and Chu Tie. His words had already made it clear that even the two of them together were no match for him.
“Hmph, old man. Today we brothers will send you on your way.” Chu Kuang and Chu Tie almost stepped forward at the same time. In an instant, two extremely powerful auras erupted from their bodies.
The reason the Tianshan Twin Heroes were called the Tianshan Twin Heroes was also because their cultivation techniques complemented each other. Although it was not a combined attack technique, when the two worked together with perfect coordination, their combat power could instantly increase by thirty percent.
Whoosh!
When their auras reached their peak, their bodies almost simultaneously pounced toward Nangong Wu. One from the left and one from the right, they attacked him together. At the same time, two claw shadows carrying the momentum of thunder and lightning shot toward Nangong Wu’s position at lightning speed.
Crack crack crack…
Innate experts released their true energy outward. As their claw shadows danced, piercing sonic booms rang out in the air, as if even the air could not withstand their attacks.
Facing the two’s powerful assault, Nangong Wu merely gave a cold smile. His body showed no intention of retreating. Instead, he stepped forward. In an instant, a powerful aura surged madly within him.
“Collapsing Heaven Fist!”
With a cold snort, Nangong Wu clenched both fists and struck out fiercely.
Boom!
Nangong Wu’s fist shadows almost simultaneously landed on the two massive claw shadows. In that instant, a heaven-shaking explosion erupted. A powerful burst of energy exploded from the point of contact and rippled outward like water waves. Even the bluestone slabs on the ground instantly cracked with countless fissures.
“Good. I did not expect this old man to be so strong. Unfortunately, today we brothers will kill you for sure.” Chu Kuang and Chu Tie were shocked inside. They had thought their combined strike could easily kill Nangong Wu. But they never expected Nangong Wu to block their attack so effortlessly. This made them realise they had underestimated Nangong Wu’s strength.
However, the Tianshan Twin Heroes were still the Tianshan Twin Heroes. After a brief moment of shock, fierce killing intent surged in their hearts.
Then the two stepped forward. In an instant, strands of black light appeared on their bodies.
“Cloud-Piercing Claw!”
Immediately after, Chu Kuang and Chu Tie shouted in unison. Their right hands formed claws and struck out fiercely.
In an instant, a several-metre-long black giant claw appeared in mid-air. Carrying terrifying energy, it slammed down toward Nangong Wu with the momentum of thunder.
“The Tianshan Twin Heroes have some ability. Unfortunately…” Nangong Wu sneered. The three-foot green blade appeared in his hand.
Brush brush…
The three-foot green blade instantly thrust out two swords. They transformed into two streaks of sword light that shot toward the two giant claws.
Boom boom!
Two explosions rang out. The giant claws were shattered by the sword light.
“Damn it.”
Chu Kuang and Chu Tie’s faces turned livid. They never expected their ultimate move to be so easily broken by Nangong Wu. Just how strong was Nangong Wu?
“Slaying Heaven Claw!”
The two exchanged a glance. They stomped hard on the ground, crushing the bluestone slabs into powder. At the same time, their bodies shot into the air. They transformed into a massive sharp claw that attacked toward Nangong Wu.
The sharp claw radiated black light, giving off an eerie and sinister feeling.
“Come at me.”
Seeing this scene, Nangong Wu sneered. He leaped into the air. The three-foot green blade instantly slashed out.
Streaks of chilling sword light shot toward the two men.
Boom boom boom…
The sword light collided with the sharp claw in mid-air. Heaven-shaking explosions erupted. At the same time, Nangong Wu’s body shot toward Chu Kuang like a streak of light. Then he struck out with a fierce punch.
“Oh no.”
Chu Kuang’s face changed drastically. But he was in mid-air with no foothold. Retreating was impossible. He could only gather his gang energy to block Nangong Wu’s strike.
Boom!
A massive fist smashed heavily into Chu Kuang’s chest.
Crack!
The gang energy around Chu Kuang was instantly shattered by the enormous fist. Then it struck heavily into his chest.
In an instant, his chest was pierced through.
Pfft!
Chu Kuang spat out a mouthful of blood. His body flew backward and crashed to the ground, dead beyond dead.
“Big brother.” Chu Tie’s face changed drastically. He never expected Nangong Wu not only to break their combined attack but also to kill his big brother Chu Kuang. Rage surged through him instantly.
“Old man, I will fight you to the death.” Chu Tie roared. His figure shot toward Nangong Wu like lightning.
“Seeking death.” Nangong Wu sneered. When Chu Kuang and Chu Tie worked together, they were somewhat troublesome to deal with. But a single Chu Tie? Killing him would be as easy as turning over his hand.
Immediately, Nangong Wu stomped hard on the ground. His figure shot forward in an instant.
Brush!
The three-foot green blade swung. A flash of cold light passed. Chu Tie’s head flew into the air.
“How is this possible?”
“The Tianshan Twin Heroes are actually dead.”
“Just how strong is this person? To kill the Tianshan Twin Heroes so easily.”
When the rogue cultivators saw Nangong Wu slay the Tianshan Twin Heroes, their faces changed drastically. The Tianshan Twin Heroes were two Innate experts. Although only at first level Innate, when they joined forces, even a second level Innate ancient martial artist might not gain any advantage against them. Yet now they had been killed so effortlessly.
Not only the rogue cultivators were shocked. Even Li Feng was stunned when he saw the battle between Nangong Wu and the Tianshan Twin Heroes.
This was a battle between Innate experts. It was the first time he had witnessed such a fight. Compared to battles in the Houtian realm, battles between Innate experts were truly on a completely different level.
If the gang energy in the Houtian realm was illusory, then the gang energy in the Innate realm was real. This was probably the key difference between the Innate and Houtian realms.
It seemed he needed to learn more about the Innate realm in the future. Otherwise, if he ever faced an Innate expert later, he might be caught off guard.
But for now, the important matter came first.
Thinking of this, Li Feng raised his head and looked toward the rogue cultivators.
