Chapter 1120: Chapter 157-158: Leize Divine Clan (Two-in-One)
But before that.
To think of dealing with the Mountain Emperor by oneself was nothing but wishful thinking.
The previous palm strike already left his flesh severely injured, and if the flesh hadn’t further evolved, he would have completely fallen by now.
Therefore.
Shen Changqing no longer planned to stay.
As he prepared to activate the Universe Moving Talisman, a vast and mighty force broke through the air, forcibly intercepting the Mountain Emperor’s attack.
Waves of Destruction spread.
Space shattered and reformed like a tumultuous ocean, destroyed and then reborn once more.
When Shen Changqing focused his gaze, he saw a familiar figure.
Zhongshan Dongxuan!
Although besieged by six Divine Kings, he still managed to break free; such strength was beyond Shen Changqing’s expectations.
"Zhongshan Dongxuan!"
Seeing him arrive, even the Mountain Emperor was visibly taken aback, his unemotional face now turned ominous.
"To think that Yan Emperor and other Divine Kings couldn’t stop you, I underestimated you."
He had thought there was no escape for the other.
Unexpectedly.
The other truly came.
Moreover.
Zhongshan Dongxuan arrived, but there was no sign of Yan Emperor and the other Divine Kings, a terrifying suspicion emerged within the Mountain Emperor’s heart.
Could it be——
Were Yan Emperor and the other Divine Kings all slaughtered?
While his heart was frozen in shock.
Zhongshan Dongxuan’s eyes were stern: "Such a high-standing Emperor of a clan, yet you strike at the younger generation. It truly tarnishes the face of us Divine Kings."
"Last time, at the Void Battlefield, you were lucky enough to escape. This time, you won’t have such good fortune again."
Hearing this.
The Mountain Emperor laughed in rage: "Uttering wild words!"
After all, he was an esteemed Emperor of a clan; when had other cultivators ever humiliated him like this?
Backing down now would be utterly disgraceful.
As the two were about to clash.
A bronze war chariot came flying through the air, carrying a young man in a purple robe, exceptionally handsome, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, exuding an aura of nobility.
"You are Zhongshan Chou!"
From atop the bronze chariot, the youth looked down at the people below, his calm voice carrying a hint of undeniable authority.
Shen Changqing slightly narrowed his eyes but did not reply.
Seeing this.
The youth frowned, a flicker of displeasure in his eyes.
In the void, a gray-robed old man stepped forward, reaching out with a withered hand toward Shen Changqing.
"Insolent! My young lord poses a question; how dare you not answer!"
However.
The withered hand had just reached out when it was snapped by a powerful force. The old man cried out in pain, forced to retract his arm, only to see that his hand was severed at the base, Divine Blood flowing from it.
"The audacity of the Zhongshan Clan to injure a cultivator of my Leize Divine Clan, do you hold no regard for us?"
The youth’s gaze turned cold.
Upon hearing this.
Zhongshan Dongxuan remained unchanged: "The Leize Divine Clan has stood among the Heavens Myriad Clans for countless ages, I naturally would not underestimate it, but Zhongshan Chou is a Proud Heaven of our Zhongshan Clan, not just anyone can move against him.
Moreover, today is a feud between the Zhongshan Clan and the Dushan Clan, I hope you do not intervene to avoid unnecessary harm."
"Are you threatening me?"
The youth’s face darkened further, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
As the young master of the Leize Divine Clan, when had any Clan Divine King dared show him disrespect?
Zhongshan Dongxuan approached with arms behind his back, unimpressed by the name Leize Divine Clan: "If you see it as a threat, it is none of my concern. Leize Divine Clan is indeed mighty, but our Zhongshan Clan is not weak either."
"Very well, very well indeed!"
The youth laughed in fury.
He did not make a move, after all, the other was a Rule Divine King. Even as a young master of the Thunder Marsh Clan, he was currently no match until he ascended to the Divine King Realm.
So, the youth’s attention turned back to Shen Changqing.
"It is said you are the foremost Proud Heaven of the Zhongshan Clan, newly ranked at 4,800 on the Investiture of the Gods. Coincidentally, I too am ranked on the Investiture of the Gods. Do you dare to duel?"
"Who are you?"
Shen Changqing looked at him, feeling a bit helpless.
From his entrance to now, his demeanor was overly lofty, creating an extremely disagreeable impression.
Finding a matching name among the ten thousand ranks of the Investiture of the Gods was genuinely difficult.
The youth’s expression was one of pride: "Remember this, I am the young master of the Leize Divine Clan, Lei Yuan!"
Lei Yuan!
Hearing this name.
Shen Changqing quickly recollected some relevant information.
Lei Yuan.
Ranked seventy-third on the Investiture of the Gods.
The prowess to be within the top hundred on the Investiture of the Gods meant significant strength, achieving such status supported by a Divine Clan behind him made some arrogance understandable.
As he mused over this.
Lei Yuan spoke again: "So, do you dare to duel?"
"Do we have a vendetta?"
"No." Lei Yuan shook his head, then continued: "But White Jade followed me, and since you killed him, I cannot sit idly. Within a hundred moves, you may survive, granting you a chance to pledge allegiance to me.
Otherwise, die!"
Until now.
Shen Changqing understood the other’s intention.
So White Jade was his subordinate, which explained why he came looking for me.
"Within a hundred moves, I’m afraid it won’t reach that."
"Are you afraid?"
Lei Yuan’s face was indifferent, a trace of contempt in his eyes.
"Your skills are impressive, maybe with luck, you could withstand a hundred moves, but if not, it would be your own misfortune."
"No, I’m afraid I’ll kill you within a hundred moves."
Shen Changqing slightly shook his head.
When those words fell, killing intent erupted in Lei Yuan’s eyes.
