“Xuan Lian!”
Ye Yang shouted angrily, having recognized the person before him as Xuan Lian, the leader of Asura Hall and one of the human powerhouses of Ascend to Godhood.
Without any wind, ten divine artifacts were placed on the Table. Suddenly, Ling Kong soared into the air, blood-red light swirling around. Xuan Lian used his Open Hand, seemingly conjuring a massive blood-red hand that forcefully reached out from afar, collecting all ten divine artifacts into his possession. In a flash of his robe, the artifacts disappeared, clearly having been stored away by Xuan Lian.
……
Instantly, Xiang Yu was furious. With the Azure Dragon Halberd pointed at the sky, he shouted, “Who are you to dare steal my Treasure at this Hongmen Banquet! Come and face me!”
With a powerful stomp on the ground, Xiang Yu charged at his opponent like lightning. The Azure Dragon Halberd shimmered with the light of Ocean's Secret, piercing into Xuan Lian's domain like a blade.
“Looking for death?!”
Xuan Lian laughed heartily, extending one hand and suddenly sweeping it aside. Instantly, Xiang Yu felt as if he had been struck hard; the power of Starry Sky Seventh Level was no match for Heavenly Power. In an instant, a crushing sensation hit his chest as he was sent flying to the ground, clutching his chest where a deep claw mark had appeared. Xuan Lian had easily torn through Starry Sky Seventh Level's defense with just his externalized True Qi, showcasing his formidable strength.
Looking down at Xiang Yu, Xuan Lian stood proudly in mid-air as if ruling over the world. He said with a smile, “I have no intention of killing you, Xiang Yu. Go ahead and seize your territory. My only interest lies in these ten divine artifacts. The Fire God Helmet is already in my possession, and now I have eleven more artifacts. There’s only one left. Haha, kid, are you ready?”
Lowering his figure and spreading his eerie palm, Xuan Lian laughed at Ye Yang, saying, “The legendary Fire God Warrior, may I borrow your Fire God Armor today?”
Holding the Azure Soul Sword, Ye Yang replied coldly, “Over my dead body!”
“Hmph, you seek your own death!”
With a cold snort, Xuan Lian rapidly descended. Ye Yang retreated several steps in response. Surrounding his blade was the swirling energy of the Hidden Dragon Technique True Qi. With rapid taps of his toes against the ground, powerful forces of Dragon Ascendance surged forth. At this moment, Ye Yang had reached a new level of understanding with the Hidden Dragon Technique, allowing him to effortlessly unleash attacks with the power of the dragon soul.
“Bang bang bang…”
The roaring forces of Dragon Ascendance tore through the earth as they surged forward, with Xuan Lian being the first target who had to gather his strength in response. After several clashes of energy, each wave of dragon energy shattered under the assault of the Divine Crystal Power. The power of Starry Sky Seventh Level truly paled in comparison.
“Give me the Fire God Armor! ”
Xuan Lian opened his large hand, with the Divine Crystal shimmering in his palm, and unleashed a powerful strike towards Ye Yang.
Ye Yang secretly cursed, quickly crossing his Blade in front of him. The Hidden Dragon Technique's Wenting Chapter surged forth, the fury of the Hidden Dragon shaking the heavens!
"Boom!"
The fiery red Divine Dragon Energy erupted violently, heavily impacting Xuan Lian's palm. The explosive sound was deafening, as if the ground of the Hongmen Banquet was about to be torn apart. Countless stone pillars carved with dragon totems shattered under the force of the energy.
"Ga ga..."
With a piercing howl, Xuan Lian concealed his right hand behind him, gasping for breath. He was secretly astonished, not expecting Ye Yang's counterattack to be so strong. The Hidden Dragon Technique's Wenting Chapter was incredibly vast; this kid seemed to have gained new insights. If he wasn't eliminated, he would surely become a great threat in the future!
In that moment, Xuan Lian had already developed a killing intent; he had to eliminate Ye Yang to seize the Fire God Armor.
Ye Yang retreated continuously, suddenly leaping into the air and moving rapidly among the stone pillars above the Hongmen Banquet.
"Competing with me in speed?"
Xuan Lian let out a chilling laugh and suddenly expanded his domain aura, darting out like a ghost. He swiftly maneuvered and stopped firmly in front of Ye Yang.
Ye Yang also revealed a hint of a smile as a rain of fire descended from the sky; it was the previously hidden Blazing Fire Net attack, a lethal strike meant to restrain powerful opponents.
"Smack!"
The fire net tightly ensnared Xuan Lian's body. Under the scorching flames, his opponent had no chance to tear open a spatial rift for instant movement.
Seizing this golden opportunity, Ye Yang suddenly vanished from his original position. The Azure Soul Sword pierced through the air and appeared behind Xuan Lian. Flames soared into the sky as Ye Yang resembled a descending fire god, directly delivering the third strike of Fire God Three Strikes, Divine Oracle Descends, with all his might onto Xuan Lian's back.
"Clang!"
The Blade struck against Xuan Lian's back and surprisingly emitted a resonating sound like Goldstone. This made Ye Yang exclaim in shock; who knew how formidable a Celestial Realm Expert's defense could be!
On the ground, Fan Zeng leaned on his cane and trembled as he said, "Heavens, is that the legendary power of the gods? Ye Yang has no chance of winning; that is the Cosmic Armor condensed by the Celestial Ascendant, something that a Stellar Realm individual cannot possibly break. If Ye Yang continues to fight, he will surely lose his life!"
Xiang Yu shouted loudly and soared into the air, delivering an upward strike with the Azure Dragon Halberd, unleashing the Azure Dragon Pattern of Ocean's Secret, which heavily struck Xuan Lian in the abdomen.
"Boom!"
The energy surged; this strike almost gathered all of Xiang Yu's strength, yet it still failed to penetrate Xuan Lian's Cosmic Armor. The gap in their power was simply too vast.
Throughout it all, Xuan Lian remained fearless, standing proudly as he channeled Celestial True Qi. A golden light cascaded down, quickly dissolving Ye Yang's Blazing Fire Net. Clearly, it wasn't that Xuan Lian couldn't break through the Blazing Fire Net; he simply wanted to test the strength of Ye Yang and Xiang Yu.
"Is this all the strength you have?" Xuan Lian laughed heartily. "If that's the case, then I can only take these eleven divine artifacts with me. Hahaha, the Twelve Divine Artifacts are finally about to be collected!"
Ye Yang stood in mid-air, stunned.
Xiang Yu held up the Azure Dragon Halberd and glanced at Ye Yang. From each other's eyes, they saw shock; the disparity in strength was too great. They couldn't even break through the opponent's True Qi defense, let alone inflict serious damage.
"Zi Yu, be careful!" On the ground, Yun Xiaoxi suddenly shouted.
Ye Yang had no time to react as a gray shadow rushed in. Xuan Lian's speed was astonishing; a heavy punch landed squarely on Ye Yang's chest. With a crackling sound, ribs broke like tree roots, and this was a severe blow from Heavenly Power that left him unable to recover quickly from his injuries.
With a tearing pain in his chest, Ye Yang fell like a kite with its string cut.
At the same time, Ye Yang's Fire God Armor had vanished without a trace. Looking up, he saw it being held in Xuan Lian's hand. Finally, all twelve ancient artifacts had fallen into Xuan Lian's possession.
“Zi Yu!”
Yun Xiaoxi flew forward and helped Ye Yang up.
Xiang Yu clenched his fists, nearly grinding his steel teeth, watching Xuan Lian take away what he had longed for, feeling extremely unwilling.
……
Xuan Lian collected the Fire God Armor, not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he stood proudly in the air, looking down at everyone, and smiled slightly, saying, “Fan Zeng, I have something to say.”
Fan Zeng trembled all over: “Please speak, Master Xuan Lian…”
Xuan Lian smiled lightly: “You have calculated everything, thinking you could seize the world for Xiang Yu. Then, if this world is given to you, exile Liu Bang, and Xiang Yu can dominate the Central Plains. I, Xuan Lian, and Asura Hall will not interfere. However, remember this: when the Twelve Divine Artifacts reappear in the world, it will soon be turned upside down. Ha ha!”
With a long howl, Xuan Lian quietly vanished into the wind as if he had never been there.
(God of Battle wishes everyone a Happy New Year and continuous success~~)
