Chapter 1158: Qin Wushuang
Rumble Rumble!!!
A series of terrifying lights surged towards Tangyu and the others, shaking the heavens. It was truly frightening, as if this piece of void was to be completely shattered by these lights. Dozens of Golden Core Realm cultivators attacked all at once, creating a spectacular scene. Among them were many experts who had reached the Ninth Layer of the Golden Core Realm. Even the weaker ones were comparable to the Sixth Layer, making it absolutely terrifying.
One could say that even a weaker Zifu Realm cultivator facing such an onslaught would only end up lamenting their fate.
Even Tangyu and his group could sense a hint of danger in the air, yet only Sun Wukong remained relaxed, as if fear had no place in his dictionary. With his overwhelming battle prowess, Sun Wukong charged fearlessly into battle, seeming like an indomitable War God. His Jingu Bang struck heavily, creating a violent momentum that shook heaven and earth, with a single strike possessing the might to destroy the world.
Tangyu and Xuanyuan Wushang also attacked with their full strength. The third axe of the Pangu Nine Axes was pushed to its limit, while the power of the Fourth Transformation of the Undying Nine Transformations and the power of Divine Demon Body Refinement were fully utilized. Tangyu, now at the Golden Core Third Layer, combined his powers to reach a terrifying level of strength, at least comparable to the Ninth Layer of the Golden Core Realm. The axe's force was overwhelming, hacking down with a cleave as vast as the Qing River.
Under Xuanyuan Wushang's Sword Force, an imperial dominance prevailed, an unparalleled might that startled everyone, evoking a mysterious urge to worship.
The combined assault of Tangyu and his companions matched those of the Golden Core Realm's coordinated efforts in terms of momentum.
After a single confrontation, they managed to hold their ground. This caused the Golden Core Realm cultivators' faces to change dramatically, filled with shock and disbelief.
"How is it possible, they blocked it?"
"Terrifying, who are these three people? How did their strength reach such a dreadful level? Especially that monkey, with strength akin to the Zifu Realm."
"Not good!"
Sun Wukong shouted with a grin, "Take another strike from your old Sun." With his words, his terrifying cudgel struck again. The Golden Core Realm cultivators could only defend hastily, but they could by no means withstand Sun Wukong's attack. The swing of the cudgel caused over a dozen Golden Core Realm cultivators to cough up blood and be sent flying backward. Faces changed, hearts filled with dread, none dared to approach further, retreating one by one.
Tangyu and Xuanyuan Wushang did not pursue further. Since the enemies had retreated, there was no need to continue. After all, everyone was merely seeking opportunities. There's no need to pursue with deep enmity or hatred.
Sun Wukong, in high spirits, wanted to continue fighting, but Tangyu quickly called out to him, "Enough, Brother Monkey."
Hearing Tangyu, Sun Wukong put away his Jingu Bang, grinned, and charged towards the sun and moon, "Let's go, up."
With no one daring to act, Tangyu and his companions faced no resistance as they rushed upwards. The oppressive Immortal Might, like a huge mountain, pressed down on them as the frightening light bore down, a grand Immortal Might descended heavily.
"Break this for your old Sun!" With immense battle prowess, Sun Wukong thrust the Jingu Bang directly into the mass of light. The strike, akin to setting off an explosion, caused the light to surge mightily like a tsunami.
To Sun Wukong's chagrin, his cudgel failed to puncture the mass of light, the limitless power dissipating into the void like it had no point of impact. His mighty strike was entirely suppressed by the mass of light, making barely any ripple, silently fading away.
Sun Wukong, capable of heaven-shaking blows, but unable to pierce the mass of light, felt quite displeased, scratching his head and tearing his mouth impatiently, glaring at that mass of light.
This scenario left onlookers exchanging confused glances. They knew the might of Sun Wukong's strike, enough to threaten a Zifu Great Power, yet it failed to pierce the mass of light, which seemed quite odd. Is the test of the sun and moon's light field truly this overwhelming?
Tangyu felt a moment of perplexity, glancing at Xuanyuan Wushang to see if he knew what was happening. Xuanyuan Wushang, his brows slightly furrowed, evidently didn't know the situation either. "Let me give it a try. Perhaps it seeks a fateful person. The phenomena in Luoyu Immortal Palace all require opportunity. Those with it can easily obtain what they seek. Without opportunity, it's futile to force."
"Hm?" Xuanyuan Wushang was about to try when suddenly he felt a powerful and frightening aura approaching, filled with oppression and hostility, and even carrying a hint of killing intent. Feeling this aura, Xuanyuan Wushang's brows furrowed deeper, and stopped his actions, his gaze sweeping towards a place. There, a figure approached with brilliant radiance, striding forward with overwhelming oppressive force, like a towering wave crashing forth.
Tangyu sensed the intense hostility as well, frowning as he looked over, fixing his eyes on the tall figure. Judging by appearance, he seemed not yet thirty. The aura emanating from him was aggressively domineering, extremely invasive as if an ultimate sharp-bladed treasure flickering with fearsome glints that made one dare not watch closely. Particularly, that pair of eyes was too formidable. One look from them felt like two knives ruthlessly piercing into one's eyes.
Such a terrifying and sharp gaze, Tangyu had rarely seen anything like it, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
From the aura alone, Tangyu knew the newcomer's strength was immensely powerful, reaching a truly frightening level. At least, Tangyu felt somewhat invincible.
Xuanyuan Wushang also seemed somewhat apprehensive, furrowing his brows. He tightly gripped the sword in his hand.
Even Sun Wukong couldn't help but take a few more glances at the newcomer.
The others stared at the newcomer in stunned silence until a startled cry erupted from the crowd: "Qin Wushuang, it's Qin Wushuang!"
"So it's him, no wonder he's so terrifying; his aura alone makes me feel short of breath. One of the strongest in Luoyu Immortal Palace, a peerless genius from the ancient Qin Family. Over four years ago, he joined the Luoyu Immortal Palace, and it's said that he has reached the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer, capable of easily slaying Zifu Great Powers. Why did such a person appear? And he's here for these four!"
"Yes, Qin Wushuang has appeared, it seems something significant is about to happen."
Xuanyuan Wushang raised his eyebrows again: "Qin Wushuang, it really is him, no wonder!" He glanced at Tangyu and said, "We're in trouble; he's targeting us, and we need to be extra cautious."
Qin Wushuang's gaze shifted to Tangyu, chilling and ghostly, like an ancient venomous snake, making anyone who met his eyes shiver internally.
"You are Tangyu? Tangyu of Jiuzhou Immortal Sect?" Qin Wushuang said coldly.
Being questioned like this made Tangyu feel very uncomfortable, but facing such power, he could only swallow his pride and say, "Yes, I'm Tangyu, you are looking for me—"
Before Tangyu could finish speaking, Qin Wushuang coldly interrupted, "As long as it's you, then you may die." Without giving Tangyu any chance to finish his sentence, Qin Wushuang directly made his move.
Qin Wushuang, one of the strongest in Luoyu Immortal Palace, certainly lived up to his reputation. His attack was extraordinary and terrifying. He stood still, and a double-edged sword appeared in his hand. With a simple flick of his sword in the air, a dreadful sword qi tore through the void, rushing towards Tangyu. This qi was as fearsome as a real sword and left a black rift in the air, showing the frightening power of the strike.
"What a terrifying sword strike; such power with a mere flick indeed proves why he is one of the strongest in Luoyu Immortal Palace. This strength is far beyond mine, but at this moment, I have no retreating path; I must fight." Tangyu thought, shock struck him, unable even to speak, with no choice but to confront Qin Wushuang. He was puzzled as to how he ended up provoking this figure.
The ancient Qin Family stands no less than Xuanyuan Holy Land, comparable to its power. Though not as renowned, its true strength isn't much weaker than the Xuanyuan Clan.
The power of Qin Wushuang's casual sword qi pose a threat to Golden Core Ninth Layer cultivators.
Swoosh—
Without hesitation, Tangyu struck with the third of the Pangu Nine Axes, meeting the incoming sword qi. The Pangu Axe fiercely smashed into the sword qi. Upon collision, Tangyu felt an overwhelming force crashing down from it. An eerie power surged forth, threatening to tear Tangyu apart.
Fortunately, the Pangu Axe had evolved, preventing it from being destroyed by the sword qi. Tangyu retreated several steps before halting, terrified, his face grim. Just a single sword qi dealt him quite a blow, barely able to withstand it.
It was only a single sword qi!
Bitterness flooded Tangyu's heart as he realized that within Luoyu Immortal Palace, there are truly formidable figures. The peak individuals are extraordinarily terrifying, among the top young geniuses in the Cultivation World.
Compared to these figures, Tangyu realized he's still far behind. This discovery deeply stimulated Tangyu, urging him to strive harder in cultivation. Otherwise, following their pace would be impossible. He needs to reach that level.
