Chapter 465: Extreme shadow hiding

“My king, how was the trip?”

Tan Xiang couldn’t resist the temptation. She walked beside Yangfan to ask, “Just now, the king’s soul was damaged. Did you fight with someone? Was the talisman destroyed?”

“If not, what could have happened? Naturally, things didn’t go the way we wanted to.”

Yangfan smiled, and his face filled with unwillingness, “The Gantian Mountain monster king saw through my identity. It is why I tried to see if I could assassinate that person. In the end, he killed me in one sword. Forget about that talisman, those nine yin mother and son lightning which was tough to get was a little wasted. As expected from the direct disciple of Dragon Shadow old man, his sword technique is amazing. As long as he is within his capital, his emperor martial path is enough to go up against grade 9 experts!”

Tan Xiang’s pupils constricted, she knew about this outcome when Yangfan had spat out blood. However, she didn’t expect that Zong Shou’s strength to be so strong!

Even at the side, that Feng Guang and Zhouwen, the 2 Xuanwu ancestors had a serious expression on their faces.

To be able to use emperor martial path techniques to go up against grade 9. That meant that Gantian Mountain wasn’t weakening and was instead slowly getting stronger.

“That was unexpected!”

This expression was dark but his lips slowly curled up, “Although this assassination failed, it isn’t like we have gained nothing. The Gantian Monster king isn’t as preposterous as the others put him out to be. He reduced the army to 3 million people probably for a reason. It is most probably to prepare for the spiritual wave. Destroying Gantian Mountain won’t be an easy matter.”

Tan Xiang was startled, and her brows furrowed, “Then…what the king means is that this war matter should be shelved just like that?”

“On the contrary, we can’t stop, and the faster we do it, the better.”

Yangfan shook his head, “I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that the more time we waste, the more time Gantian Mountain has to prepare for an attack. This time, we might need to pull in all the sects.”

After saying that, Yangfan’s brows furrowed. The other sects were okay. With Lingyun Sect recruiting and suppressing, along with the grievances with killing Zong Weiran initially, none of them would go and help Zong Shou.

Only Kongqi Sect was walking closer and closer to Gantian Mountain. They were pretty much inseparable. Who knew if the sect leader of Kongqi Sect was crazy or dumb.

Did he not know that once Gantian Mountain is destroyed that Lingyun Sect would find their way there to settle the scores?

This was already their last chance.

In his heart, he also felt weird. Why did the Great Shang Dynasty title governor commander come all the way here? Was it to recruit Gantian Mountain?

If it was as he guessed then all the more he couldn’t drag on any more.

In his heart, he was a little envious and knew that once Gantian Mountain became a subject of Great Shang, it would inject blood into it. With the riches of the Central Dynasties, even a bit from their fingertips would be able to form a strong army in a short time.

He didn’t have the intention to replace Gantian Mountain. Great Shang and the cloud world sects were like huge enemies.

It wouldn’t allow Lingyun Sect to control Donglin Cloud Continent. Comparing Zong Shou and him, that Great Shang emperor would choose Zong Shou.

He needed to think of another method to solve this matter.

Thinking about that, Yangfan laughed coldly, feeling disappointed in his heart. When Gantian rose, he thought that it was the rise of an unshakeable enemy. Who knew Zong Shou would be so dumb. After offending the various sects, he even smashed his wings.

This person probably didn’t expect that his Thousand City Alliance would become so strong in just one and a half years.

Thinking that way, goosebumps rose all over his body. An extremely dangerous feeling rose from the depths of his heart.

He came back to his senses, stretching out his spiritual sense. He crazily searched and at the moment, he found something obscure behind him.

A sword image stabbed out from nothing. The sword attack gathered up the yin and the cold, directly stabbing from behind Tan Xiang.

At this moment Tan Xiang had noticed a little, her expression changing. She hurriedly ran forward to try to dodge.

However, it was already too late. That yin cold sword energy which was filled with no spiritual energy stabbed into her right chest. She only avoided death by going all out. However, that sword light slashed down and dragged, cutting off her entire right arm!

Yangfan’s expression was already ashen white. He instinctively fled into the distance. His eyes were filled with rage, coldly shouting, “Protector beast!”

Instantly, 2 grade 8 purple soul tigers appeared beside him, roaring as it charged towards where the sword came from.

In the sky, a red giant eagle swept down. Although it was only grade 7, it wasn’t a soul beast but had a physical body.

Feng Guang and Zhouwen all reacted and swiftly ran over.

The sword glow flashed and disappeared into the dense forest. Then, who knows where it came from, but ten over fist-sized black balls covered the area.

Yangfan just took one look and his expression changed, “Nine yin mother and son lightning spread out!”

He used his spiritual sense to try to retract them. However, through the spiritual energy fluctuations of the lightning, it was thrown out after being activated for some time.

All he could do now was an escape, the further away the better!

The red fire eagle in the sky stopped pouncing. It charged down and dragged him out of where the black colored balls were densely packed in.

Feng Guang and Zhouwen’s expression changed as they turned around and ran right away. These nine yin mother and son lightning came from the cave of an ancient cultivator. They were clear about how strong it was. They could only crazily flee.

However, it was already too late. When the ten over nine yin mother and son lightning exploded out successively. Many giant explosions wrapped up vast wind as it surged all about.

Ten thousand feet of space constricted. Then, the patterns shook towards the outside like it was collapsing.

Numerous yin strength flowed all about like a flood. With all the nine yin mother and son lightning as the center, everything within ten thousand feet was smashed to pieces. Outside ten thousand feet, numerous trees were dried up.

The 2 grade 8 protector beast soul tigers were long gone. Although Feng Guang and Zhouwen were able to escape the muscles on their 4 limbs and back were all gone, revealing white bone. They had suffered from heavy injuries.

Only Yangfan, who reacted the fastest, was in slightly better shape. However, that grade 7 red fire eagle was covered in injuries, a dispirited expression on his face.

Yangfan himself was in a bad state. The loss to the grade 8 protector beasts caused his soul to become heavy like it was smacked with a hammer.

He was in no mood to bother about his injuries. Yangfan, right away, looked towards the direction of Tan Xiang.

He saw that this maid, who was as close to him as a sister, had successfully escaped. Only her injuries were a little heavier. Only then, did he heave a sigh of relief.

However, in the next instance, Yangfan’s pupils constricted. His eyes were about to pop out of its sockets as he hollered, “You dare!”

A yin cold sword shadow stabbed out from the dark shadows behind Tan Xiang without any sign.

Just one sword sliced off Tan Xiang’s head.

Yangfan’s spiritual sense finally noticed the master of that sword. It was a similarly aged girl who was hiding in the shadows. She was untraceable like she didn’t exist in the world.

“Mysterious yin dragon sword! Extreme shadow hiding technique?”

When the yin cold sword shadow stabbed out twice, he heard 2 dragons roar.

He knew that this was one of the nine sword techniques from the dragon shadow old man. Only the mysterious yin sword would be able to be so silent and traceless before it exploded out.

As for the latter, he wasn’t so sure. Extreme shadow hiding, this grade 9 heaven shocking technique was something only those top 3 shrines and 5 vast habitats could collect.

Who knew what cultivation method this girl trained in. She not only kept in all her true qi and soul power. All her aura was untraceable. It was a secret technique that made one subconsciously glance over her. Even if she was right in front of them they wouldn’t notice.

Although she was just into grade 7 it made one feel extremely terrified!

Then, Yangfan thought of a person.

“You are Zong Ruoshui!”

In the past, she was one of the dark guards beside Zong Weiran who had personally assassinated several powerful people in the continent. Her name causing all same grade Xuanwu ancestors to be terrified.

It was said that when the Gantian Monster king came back from cloud saint city to Gantian mountain due to this woman, many Xuanwu ancestors didn’t dare to attack. She allowed Zong Shou to be safe.

Who knew that today she would already be grade 7 and grasp such a terrifying technique.

His spiritual sense searching for just a while and he lost traces of her once more. Helplessness flashed across his eyes.

What a spirit master feared the most was to have close combat with martial cultivators. If it was usually, his grade 8 cultivation could suppress this woman.

However, at this moment not only was his soul damaged, but his 2 important protector beasts were also already destroyed. If he could not lock down the enemy, he wouldn’t win.

He gritted his teeth as he jumped onto the back of the red fire eagle. He didn’t bother about his 2 bodyguards below, just saying, “Flee” before he flew towards higher ground.

Below, a ball of silver light exploded and numerous silver-white needles charged upwards.

“Explosive rain swift spirit needle? Damn it!”

Yangfan instantly placed a green circular mirror downwards. He spread out a layer of green spiritual light, only to hear a series of pinning sounds. When the layer of light was finally broken, it riddled the red fire eagle’s body with thousands of holes.

Luckily Yangfan’s himself was fine, patting the head of the eagle and keeping it into his spirit beast bag. Following which he took out a talisman with vast spiritual energy. After activating it, he turned into a red light that flew into the distance.

“I will remember the death of Tan Xiang today! I will take revenge!”

Just as this voice spread out from afar, a close to devilish beautiful girl walked out from the dark shadows. Her expression was helpless as she looked at a thin black eagle on her shoulder.

“It is the heaven escape talisman. This person is really rich. He has escaped, what should I do?”

That black eagle spread its wings and whined, staring right at the direction of where Feng Guang and Zhouwen escaped.

Like it was saying that there was 2 more prey there.
