Chapter 769: Pathetically Weak

Seeing the Guiyuan Saint Child and the Illusionary Saint Son join forces, Shen Haoran let out a cold sneer and, without another word, charged at them again.

BOOM…

The three figures slammed into each other like meteorites. A powerful shockwave erupted from the point of impact, instantly cracking the bluestone slabs beneath their feet and sending countless tiny fragments flying.

The moment they made contact, a fierce battle erupted. The Illusionary Saint Son and the Guiyuan Saint Child worked together, continuously blasting Shen Haoran’s vital points with furious Spiritual Power. The resulting shockwaves forced the crowd in the square to retreat. But Shen Haoran was even more domineering. His movements were wide and powerful, his body wreathed in purple-black flames. The attacks from the Illusionary Saint Son and Guiyuan Saint Child were incinerated before they could even touch the hem of his clothes. In contrast, it was those purple-black flames that were causing the two of them considerable trouble.

Watching Shen Haoran’s fighting style, the spectators finally understood the meaning of brute force. Aside from the purple-black flames, he didn’t seem to be using a single shred of Spiritual Power, relying entirely on his physical strength. He was like a crazed, savage beast. With every punch, you could even see space itself tremble, a testament to the terrifying power contained within his body.

Three figures zipped back and forth across the Central Square as furious torrents of Spiritual Power raged, making the onlookers’ hearts pound in their chests. Shen Haoran was actually fighting two Tier Five Spirit Emperors by himself, and he didn’t even seem to be at a disadvantage! And what was more, aside from those purple-black flames, he still hadn’t used any Spiritual Power at all!

BANG…

With a muffled thud, the three clashed again. The immense force sent all of them flying backward. However, Shen Haoran only took a few steps back, while the Illusionary Saint Son and the Guiyuan Saint Child were pushed back dozens of steps, carving long furrows in the ground with their feet before they could barely regain their balance.

Shen Haoran relaxed his fighting stance and mocked the two grim-faced men. “Tsk, tsk. Don’t you call yourselves the favored sons of the Southern Domain? How can you be so pathetically weak?”

Shen Haoran wasn’t wrong. The Illusionary Saint Son and the Guiyuan Saint Child were both Tier Five Spirit Emperors, but their strength was far inferior to that of Demon Race Martial Artists at the same tier. Shen Haoran had to use his full power to defeat a Tier Five Spirit Emperor from the Demon Race. Yet when facing these two, he didn’t even need to use his Spiritual Power; his formidable physical strength alone was enough to overwhelm them. ‘They really are pathetic.’

Hearing Shen Haoran’s words, the faces of the Illusionary Saint Son and the Guiyuan Saint Child turned so dark it looked like storm clouds were about to burst. They had joined forces and still couldn’t defeat him. And from the looks of it, he had barely exerted himself. They had also felt the strangeness of his power; whenever the purple-black flames touched them, they would frantically burrow into their bodies, not only burning their meridians but also devouring their life force. It was utterly bizarre.

‘At this point, they no longer believed Shen Haoran was just some insignificant Outer Disciple. With this level of strength, not even an Elder of the Five Elements Sect could match him. If this guy was allowed to live, he would definitely become a menace.’

“We can’t drag this on. Let’s finish him now!” The Illusionary Saint Son and the Guiyuan Saint Child exchanged a look, understanding each other’s intent. They took a deep breath, and Spiritual Power surged from their bodies. At that moment, they both decided to stop the prolonged fight and use their strongest attacks to send Shen Haoran to his grave.

Powerful Spiritual Power began to condense in front of the two, but Shen Haoran just watched them indifferently, making no move at all.

Soon, two terrifying masses of Energy finished forming above their heads. An immense pressure washed down, sending a wave of alarm through the crowd in the square.

“That’s the Guiyuan Sect’s Unity Palm and the Illusion Transformation Sect’s Thousand Illusions Fist! Those are Earth Tier High Level Martial Skills! Shen Haoran is done for now!” some of the Martial Artists familiar with the Guiyuan Sect and Illusion Transformation Sect cried out in alarm as they stared at the fist and palm in mid-air.

Shen Haoran also glanced up at the fist and palm in the air, a cold sneer playing on his lips. With a mere thought, a black shadow shot out from his body, expanding rapidly. In the blink of an eye, a massive, pitch-black beast appeared before everyone. Then, the beast opened its gaping maw and swallowed the Unity Palm and the Thousand Illusions Fist, along with the terrifying pressure they emanated. The sky, which had been raging with Spiritual Power just a moment ago, instantly fell calm, as if nothing had happened at all.

BURP…

The one who had swallowed the Unity Palm and Thousand Illusions Fist was, of course, Changmao. He let out a long, satisfied belch and patted his stomach. Then, he stomped a foot down, pinning the Guiyuan Saint Child and the Illusionary Saint Son to the ground with only their heads sticking out.

The crowd in the square was completely stunned by the beast’s sudden appearance. An Earth Tier High Level Martial Skill that looked terrifyingly powerful had been swallowed in a single gulp! That was an Earth Tier High Level Martial Skill, a powerful technique capable of drawing upon the Power of Heaven and Earth! It took a moment for everyone to process what they had just seen. But when they felt the aura emanating from Changmao, they couldn’t help but gulp. A Spirit Emperor! This beast actually possessed the power of the Spirit Emperor Tier.

The powers gathered in the square were mostly minor families and Minor Sects. The strongest among them was a First-class Power like the Sword Control Palace. However, even a power like the Sword Control Palace had no Spirit Emperor Tier experts. Only super-powers like the Illusion Transformation Sect, the Guiyuan Sect, and the Purple Luo Palace possessed experts of that caliber. For a beast with the power of a Spirit Emperor to appear in the Five Elements Sect meant that no matter how far the Sect had fallen, its strength was still above that of a First-class Sect. After all, no one would dare to ignore the presence of a Spirit Emperor Tier expert. At this moment, the crowd finally understood why the Five Elements Sect had invited all the powers of the Southern Domain. It was, without a doubt, a show of force. And the effect was outstandingly good. Now, no one dared to think of the Five Elements Sect as a fish on the chopping block anymore.

While the crowd was still in shock, Shen Haoran had already strolled over to the Guiyuan Saint Child and the Illusionary Saint Son. The two were pinned firmly under Changmao’s foot, their limbs crushed. They struggled to break free, but against Changmao, who had reached the Spirit Emperor Tier, they were completely powerless.

“I suggest you let us go! Otherwise, the Illusion Transformation Sect and the Guiyuan Sect will definitely raze your Five Elements Sect to the ground!” the Illusionary Saint Son roared at Shen Haoran.

“‘Raze the Five Elements Sect to the ground,’ you say? Even if your Sects could do it, you won’t be around to see it! Changmao, kill them!” Shen Haoran said, staring at the two expressionlessly, his voice as cold as ice…
