42: Battle of the Sky Breaking Realm

Xun Xiuyuan looked at the Shadow Demon City ahead, with no intention of approaching it.

Just then, a purple figure appeared above the great city, instantly vanishing from sight.

Xun Xiuyuan was startled upon seeing this. Was that teleportation?

The purple figure was also a Po Kong Realm expert of the Shadow Demon Clan, preparing to head to the main battle location to assist Mu Tuo.

The moment she activated her domain and teleported, she discovered Xun Xiuyuan not far from the great city.

“Oh, there’s a human here.”

The instant Xun Xiuyuan saw the purple figure disappear, that same purple figure had already appeared beside him.

The surrounding World Energy seemed to be restrained, and he felt as if ten thousand tons of mountain rock were pressing on him, making it difficult to move.

A sharp claw lightly grasped Xun Xiuyuan’s neck. Holding Xun Xiuyuan, the purple figure headed directly to where the great battle was raging.

Xie Yunzhou and Mu Tuo’s battle was nearing a fever pitch. Although Mu Tuo was the Shadow Demon leader, his combat strength was inferior to that of Xie Yunzhou, the human Legion Commander.

In terms of spiritual power, humans generally have superior late-stage combat power compared to alien beasts.

It's only in the early stages, when human bodies are weak, that they are at a disadvantage against alien beasts of the same level.

Xie Yunzhou punched Mu Tuo in the abdomen, and Mu Tuo retreated rapidly. Xie Yunzhou teleported, reappearing beside Mu Tuo, and launched another punch.

The Xie Family's inherited martial art, the Sky-Rending Fist, was incredibly powerful.

Mu Tuo helplessly raised his arms to shield his head, defending against Xie Yunzhou's attack.

With a loud 'boom,' Mu Tuo retreated again, his arms hanging limply.

Mu Tuo was filled with intense resentment. Humans were truly insidious, first arranging an Immaculate Realm junior to cause trouble in the alien beast occupied territory.

Then, the Legion Commander personally ambushed their own transcendent beings. In just a short time, more than a dozen transcendent beings had been killed in battle.

Even more hateful was that the Emperor had just taken the clan's experts back to the Alien Beast Continent to contend for resources.

Otherwise, this Legion Commander of Qianlong City would surely have come and never returned.

Mu Tuo's thoughts flashed in an instant. Just as Xie Yunzhou was preparing to press his advantage, a shout came:

“Stop!”

A purple figure appeared on the scene.

Mu Tuo instantly moved to the purple figure's side: “Mu Jin, why are you back?”

Mu Jin stared intently at Xie Yunzhou. She was only an early Po Kong Realm expert, and even if she and Mu Tuo joined forces, they might not be Xie Yunzhou's match.

“The Emperor said there was a change at the camp, and he couldn’t return, so he told me to come back and check.”

Mu Jin's eyes never left Xie Yunzhou as she answered Mu Tuo's question.

Xie Yunzhou's attention was currently on Xun Xiuyuan, whom Mu Jin was holding: 'Could this be Nan Qiao's sweetheart? After all, who would come to this alien beast stronghold for no reason?'

'Immaculate Realm? Wasn't that kid said to be in the Innate Realm? He's probably not alone. Could he be a traitor to humanity?'

Xie Yunzhou looked at Mu Tuo and Mu Jin opposite him again, knowing that he would likely gain no more today.

Yet he said, “Very well, since both of you, husband and wife, are here, I’ll send you both on your way.”

These high-ranking individuals on both sides essentially knew each other.

After speaking, Xie Yunzhou directly attacked Mu Tuo. After all, Mu Tuo was at the peak of the Po Kong Realm, and if he attacked from behind, he would not be easy to deal with.

Mu Tuo was helpless and could only engage in battle again. Among the Po Kong Realm experts of Qianlong City, this Xie Yunzhou was the most troublesome. Not only was he powerful in combat, but he also had a short temper, resorting to killing at the slightest disagreement.

After several more exchanges, Mu Tuo was hit by another punch.

Mu Jin stepped forward, holding up Xun Xiuyuan: “Xie Yunzhou, if you make another move, I will kill this human genius on the spot.”

Xie Yunzhou sneered, “Go ahead and kill him. We don’t even know if he’s a traitor to humanity. You’re trying to trick me? What a joke.”

He spoke, but his hands did not stop.

After forcing Mu Tuo back again, he suddenly teleported to Mu Jin’s side, delivering a heavy punch directly towards Mu Jin’s head.

Mu Jin was greatly alarmed. This fellow was truly cunning; after all that, his target was actually her.

Mu Jin’s strength was already considerably weaker than Xie Yunzhou’s, and coupled with the suddenness of this attack, her surrounding domain was completely suppressed by Xie Yunzhou’s domain, making even teleportation impossible.

Helpless, she used Xun Xiuyuan as a shield in front of her.

At this moment, Mu Tuo, seeing Mu Jin under attack, instantly arrived behind Xie Yunzhou and attacked Xie Yunzhou's back with a saber.

Xie Yunzhou could only put all his strength into forming a protective shield on his back, changing his punch into a grab, and seizing Xun Xiuyuan in his hand.

He took a solid saber strike on his back, but fortunately, with the shield's mitigation, the injury was not very serious.

Mu Tuo's saber strike was originally a hasty one, intended only to relieve Mu Jin's pressure. He hadn't expected to succeed so easily and immediately regretted not using his full strength.

Xie Yunzhou glanced at Mu Tuo and Mu Jin, then, holding Xun Xiuyuan, he teleported away from the area.

On a mountaintop, an old man and a young man sat facing each other.

“You say you are Xun Xiuyuan?” Xie Yunzhou was somewhat disbelieving.

“Yes, I don’t know directions, so I just kept running and ended up here.”

Xun Xiuyuan was speechless, thinking about how he had been running straight towards the enemy's lair. No wonder more and more people were chasing him.

Xie Yunzhou looked at this oddball, extremely curious: “How did you manage to stay alive and kicking in this place until now? Don’t tell me you advanced to Immaculate. Even a Transcendent would find it difficult to move an inch here.”

Xun Xiuyuan immediately activated his Breath Concealment Technique and looked at Xie Yunzhou.

Watching the young man's true aura instantly become incredibly weak before his eyes.

Xie Yunzhou immediately understood. This martial art was quite interesting; it was probably very difficult for transcendent beings to detect.

If he hadn't come, and if the Po Kong Realm expert opposite hadn't left the city, it was truly possible that this kid could have run back.

“You're also surnamed Xie? Do you know Xie Nanqiao?”

Xun Xiuyuan guessed they must be family, so he decided to get acquainted first, in case he was left here.

“You kid, you finally asked. I am Nan Qiao’s Grandpa Xie. Nan Qiao has been in a daze at Fortress 100 because of you. I, as her Grandpa Xie, really couldn’t bear to watch, so I personally came here to find you.”

Xie Yunzhou said shamelessly. He had originally come to vent his anger, but now that he had found Xun Xiuyuan, of course, he was here specifically to find him.

Xun Xiuyuan was immediately moved when he heard Xie Yunzhou talk about what Xie Nanqiao had done. This silly girl, she had only seen him a few times, did she really need to go to such lengths?

“Grandpa Xie, shall we go back to the fortress then?”

Xie Yunzhou looked at Xun Xiuyuan: “You’ve advanced to Immaculate. What’s your spiritual power level?”

Xun Xiuyuan was a bit confused: “Spiritual power level? Grandpa Xie, do you have a panel too?”

Xie Yunzhou didn't know what Xun Xiuyuan was talking about. What panel? Didn't the wristband have a spiritual power measurement? He then raised his hand to look at his wristband, which was completely blank.

“Although there’s no signal here, checking the time or measuring spiritual power is still possible.”

Xun Xiuyuan truly hadn't known that the wristband could measure spiritual power. He immediately began to operate it.

He exerted all his strength, turning his spiritual power into a needle and poking it into a small hole next to the wristband. The number 2240 immediately appeared on the wristband.

Xie Yunzhou also saw Xun Xiuyuan's spiritual power value and his mouth dropped open: “You just advanced to Immaculate?”
