After thinking about this, Aotian's anger surged within him, and an overwhelming killing intent arose in his heart. There was no doubt that if Aotian had enough strength at this moment, he would definitely charge toward the Azure Cloud Sect Headquarters.
However, in the end, Aotian managed to suppress his impulse. He understood that with his current strength, truly attacking the Azure Cloud Sect would undoubtedly be seeking death.
Yet, Aotian's attention was firmly fixed on the two individuals on the field. Especially towards Fan Lian, a murderous intent had already arisen in Aotian's heart.
Since he had already killed Chen Qiao, it meant that he had become irreconcilable with the Azure Cloud Sect. Therefore, killing one more member of the Azure Cloud Sect seemed to be of little consequence.
Niu Geng, who was beside Aotian, clearly noticed Aotian's change. Although he found the matter regarding Ning City and the Aojia somewhat strange, he did not ask further.
After all, the two individuals not far away were both warriors of the Human Spirit Realm, and their senses were certainly very sharp. If he spoke out, it would inevitably attract their attention.
At that moment, Fan Lian suddenly spoke up:
"It seems I underestimated your Sun Family's capabilities."
Fan Lian's tone was extremely grim, and a dangerous light flickered in his eyes.
Sun Jing had a hint of pride between his brows, a unique pride that belonged to a member of the Sun Family. He said, "Fan Lian, you walk your sunny path while I walk my narrow bridge; let's not continue this standoff any longer, shall we?"
Upon hearing this, a sinister smile crept onto Fan Lian's lips as he replied, "Sorry, your head has already been reserved by our Grand Elder!"
Without waiting for Sun Jing to respond, Fan Lian shot toward him like a cannonball.
As Fan Lian moved through the air, his right palm bent into an eagle claw shape, producing a piercing sound as it tore through the air and fiercely aimed for Sun Jing's chest.
Sun Jing was slightly taken aback upon hearing Fan Lian's words, but as a warrior of the Human Spirit Realm, he quickly regained his composure after sensing Fan Lian's attack and retaliated.
"I didn't expect the esteemed Second Elder of the Azure Cloud Sect to be so pretentious!"
Before his words had even faded, one of Sun Jing's hands lunged fiercely toward Fan Lian's wrist, which had transformed into an eagle's claw.
His other hand seemed to morph into a knife hand, striking ruthlessly toward Fan Lian's neck.
Fan Lian's expression changed slightly, but he quickly transformed his claw into a fist, channeling powerful Mystical Energy that slammed against Sun Jing's palm.
"Boom!"
As their fists and palms collided, it appeared that Fan Lian's Mystical Energy was slightly more robust than Sun Jing's. Consequently, after the impact, Sun Jing involuntarily took a step back, and his knife hand strike at Fan Lian missed its target.
Seeing Sun Jing suffer a minor setback, a disdainful smile crept onto Fan Lian's face. Immediately after, his right leg whipped out like a whip, aiming for Sun Jing's head.
Just as Sun Jing steadied himself, he felt a strong gust of wind rushing toward him. His expression changed drastically as he forcefully pushed off the ground, using the rebound to retreat rapidly.
Fan Lian's whip-like kick struck the ground, creating a deep groove in the earth.
Aotian, watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel greatly impressed. Although the strength of these two old men might not be significantly higher than his own, their combat experience far surpassed his.
This was only natural; both had spent their lives battling others. If their combat experience were not richer than his own, that would indeed be strange.
When Aotian saw Sun Jing in peril under Fan Lian's assault, he leaned toward Niu Geng and whispered:
"Make your move; let that old fool named Fan Lian report to the King of Hell!"
As soon as the words fell, Aotian shot out from the dense grass like an arrow released from a bow, gathering an astonishing Transformation Technique in his palm and striking towards Fan Lian.
The air in front of Aotian exploded upon the impact of his palm.
Fan Lian, who was originally intent on closely pursuing Sun Jing, suddenly felt a chilling killing intent locking onto him, causing him to lose his composure in an instant.
At this moment, Fan Lian dared not hesitate for even a moment. He knew very well that if he was even slightly slower, he might lose his life at the hands of this attacker.
He swiftly maneuvered his right arm around his body and struck backward, with a long and continuous Mystical Energy surging from his palm.
"Bang!"
As their palms collided, Aotian immediately felt a fierce Mystical Energy crashing towards him like a tidal wave.
In an instant, Aotian's expression changed dramatically. He suddenly realized that Fan Lian's strength seemed to exceed his expectations.
"Boom!"
In that moment, Aotian felt a powerful Mystical Energy surging through his arm and into his body like an unstoppable giant wave.
Fortunately, the assimilation power of the Transformation Technique had absorbed most of that Mystical Energy, and the defense of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body had resisted the remaining force outside.
Even so, Aotian still felt his internal energy churning violently, and his face turned slightly pale.
Just as Fan Lian was about to continue pressing the attack against Aotian, a fierce force surged towards him from another direction.
At that moment, most of Fan Lian's focus was on Aotian, so he only reacted when this attack approached him.
Due to the proximity, Fan Lian realized it was too late to gather all the Mystical Energy within him. He could only muster as much power as possible into his fist and strike against that fierce force.
"Bang!"
The sound of the impact echoed, and immediately, Fan Lian staggered back a few steps, his face slightly pale.
However, Niu Geng walked over calmly, standing shoulder to shoulder with Aotian, both of them watching Fan Lian warily.
"It’s you two?!" When Fan Lian finally recognized Aotian and Niu Geng, he exclaimed in shock.
"You know me?" Aotian furrowed his brow slightly and asked Fan Lian in a deep voice.
"Hehe, in the current Azure Cloud Sect, your faces are truly known by everyone," Fan Lian said with a sinister grin.
The confusion in Aotian's eyes deepened; he clearly did not understand why he and Niu Geng were so well-known within the Azure Cloud Sect.
"You two killed Azure Cloud Sect Grand Protector Chen Qiao. Did you really think you could hide it from my Azure Cloud Sect?!" Seemingly seeing the confusion in Aotian's eyes, Fan Lian sneered coldly.
Upon hearing this, Aotian's pupils involuntarily constricted. Although he knew that news of his killing Chen Qiao would not remain hidden from the Azure Cloud Sect for long, he did not expect it to be uncovered so quickly.
Since the truth had been exposed, Aotian decided not to hide any longer and said, "You can only blame your Azure Cloud Sect for raising useless people, especially that Chen Qiao, who couldn’t even withstand a single blow from me."
Fan Lian undoubtedly scoffed at Aotian's words. From their earlier confrontation, he had a rough idea of Aotian's strength. To say that Chen Qiao couldn't take even one of Aotian's strikes was something Fan Lian firmly disbelieved.
"Hehe, I was still worried about where to find you! Since you've come to me, I'll just claim your heads!" Fan Lian said with a cold laugh.
"You old man really can't tell the current situation!" Niu Geng shouted.
Fan Lian couldn't help but pause for a moment after hearing this, and then his gaze swept over to Sun Jing, who was watching the show from the side, his brows slowly furrowing.
Fan Lian was confident that if he only faced Aotian and Niu Geng, he could definitely capture or kill them. However, if Sun Jing also joined their side, then the outcome of today's battle would probably be a fifty-fifty chance.
Aotian was also very aware of Sun Jing's influence on this battle, so he stepped forward slightly and said to Sun Jing:
"Senior Sun, I just saw that the Azure Cloud Sect harbors murderous intent towards you as well. It seems you are also enemies. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. How about we join forces to deal with this Azure Cloud Sect's Second Elder today?"
Before Sun Jing could respond, Fan Lian called out:
"Sun Jing, do you really want to bring disaster upon your Sun Family for the sake of two strangers?!"
Sun Jing's heart was also wavering. He knew very well that if the Azure Cloud Sect truly meant business, his Sun Family would surely be destroyed by this giant in Fengyun Nation.
Suddenly, a look of determination flashed in Sun Jing's eyes as he chuckled and said:
"You all can settle your own matters; I won't interfere."
Upon hearing Sun Jing's words, a look of relief flashed in Fan Lian's eyes, but deep down he sneered:
"This old man has lived long enough to be foolish. Once I handle this matter, I will ensure that you, Sun Jing, remain forever within my Azure Cloud Sect's sphere of influence."
Aotian couldn't help but feel some indignation as well. Fan Lian's actions clearly indicated that the Azure Cloud Sect was determined to take your head, Sun Jing. Now that there was such a good opportunity, you actually refused.
Truly ungrateful!
"Hey, you two, just hand over your lives!"
Knowing that Sun Jing would not intervene, Fan Lian immediately felt no more worries and directed his killing intent towards Aotian and Niu Geng.
"Boss, what should we do?" Niu Geng whispered to Aotian beside him.
Aotian's expression showed some apprehension as he said, "Fan Lian's cultivation has likely reached the Mid Human Spirit Realm. His strength is even stronger than Chen Qiao's. We must be cautious in dealing with him."
The Human Spirit Realm, Earth Spirit Realm, and Celestial Spirit Realm are collectively known as the Three Spirits Realm. Each of these realms has three stages: early stage, mid stage, and late stage.
Although there are only three stages, the differences between them cannot be overlooked.
Chen Qiao is a martial artist in the early stage of the Human Spirit Realm, and Aotian and Niu Geng were able to kill him. However, facing Fan Lian from the Mid Human Spirit Realm, Aotian and Niu Geng began to worry about whether they could withstand his attacks.
This illustrates the gap between the early and mid stages—an absolute difference that cannot be ignored!
