Chapter 272 - 156: Sword Suppressing Eight Directions

In the sky above, countless sword phantoms appeared, forming a River of Sword Qi hundreds of feet long. It tore through the heavens like a galaxy from beyond, blotting out the sky as it plunged toward Yue Hongshan!

Seeing this, Yue Hongshan’s pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks, and a sense of grave danger instantly flooded his heart.

’Are you kidding me?!’

’How could I, Yue Hongshan, possibly lose!’

Gritting his teeth,

Yue Hongshan violently erupted with terrifying Flame True Essence from within his body. In that instant, frightening torrents of fire surged around him.

"Flame-Splitting Spear!"

Torrents of flame coiled around his long spear. Yue Hongshan then spun and brandished it before thrusting forward violently. A colossal Fiery Spear Shadow instantly seared through the sky, blasting toward the River of Sword Qi with indomitable might!

"BOOM!"

The River of Sword Qi, which had descended from the heavens and torn through the sky, violently collided with the Fiery Spear Shadow that had seared through space. A terrifying explosion erupted instantly. The surrounding space began to tremble violently, like a boundless, raging tsunami, as a horrific shockwave blasted out in all directions.

Under the impact of the aftershock, ghastly cracks appeared on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon. They then began to crumble, sending rubble crashing to the ground with a continuous, deafening RUMBLE.

Down below, some members of the Wang Family’s convoy were sent flying by the aftershock.

Others, whose Cultivation was too weak and who were poorly positioned, were instantly and severely wounded by the terrifying shockwave, spitting up blood.

Only the carriage in the center, where Gu Yun lay, remained as steady as a rock, not stirring in the slightest.

"This... This is too strong."

"The enemy is powerful. Lord Wang... can he... can he win?" someone asked, unable to hide their worry.

"Nonsense! Lord Wang’s strength is renowned even in Anchuan County. How could some random attacker possibly compare?" someone else retorted without hesitation, firmly supporting Wang Zhen’an.

"I hope so..." The first person naturally hoped Wang Zhen’an would win as well. Otherwise, they would all face a devastating blow.

...

At this moment, lying in the carriage, Gu Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly. With his keen perception, it wasn’t difficult to see that the man in black was no match for Wang Zhen’an.

’But for the enemy to have calculated so precisely that the Wang Family would be escorting a great treasure through this place, they must have made thorough preparations. How could they possibly launch a failed ambush for no reason?’

’This... is probably just an appetizer.’

He was heading to Guangping City on this trip partly to find out just where Jue Ding Ridge was.

He had casually asked Wang Zifan about it earlier, but the man, a native of the Southern Wilderness Domain, had never even heard of Jue Ding Ridge! This had left him feeling a bit helpless, so he had no choice but to accompany them to Guangping City to see if he could gather some information.

...

In mid-air, the incomparably sharp River of Sword Qi and the Fiery Spear Shadow frantically intertwined, emitting a dazzling light that instantly enveloped the gloomy canyon.

A breath later,

A sudden CRACK, CRACK echoed out.

Under the assault of the sharp River of Sword Qi, cracks began to appear on the massive Fiery Spear Shadow, letting out a crisp sound.

Immediately after, with a loud BOOM, the blazing Fiery Spear Shadow was violently torn apart by the River of Sword Qi that pierced through heaven and earth. Lingering wisps of flame drifted in all directions like falling fireworks, casting a brilliant glow!

Then, the River of Sword Qi, formed from countless sword phantoms, suddenly shot through the sky. Like a galaxy from beyond, it surged toward Yue Hongshan with unstoppable momentum, intent on a killing blow!

’This... How is this possible?!’

Yue Hongshan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

’This Wang Zhen’an is actually this powerful!’

Watching the brilliant sword phantoms, like a galaxy from beyond, rain down on him for the kill,

Yue Hongshan’s heart sank. At the critical moment, he clawed fiercely at the empty air with five fingers, instantly condensing a scorching shield of flame to protect his body.

"BANG!"

In the next instant, the exceedingly sharp River of Sword Qi slammed into the flame shield. A Heaven-Reaching roar immediately erupted, and the surrounding void trembled.

CRACK, CRACK! In just a flash, under the bombardment of the sharp River of Sword Qi, spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared on the crimson flame shield.

The next moment, it shattered with a boom, and the Sword Qi instantly slashed into Yue Hongshan’s body.

Immediately after, Yue Hongshan’s figure shot backward like a bullet, smashing violently into the ground below. A human-shaped crater appeared as dust and smoke filled the air.

"Big Brother!!"

Seeing this, the burly, muscular, bald man in black on the other side cried out in shock and disbelief. He couldn’t believe his big brother had actually been defeated.

Suddenly, a sense of crisis washed over him. His chest felt as if it had been struck by a colossal force, threatening to cave in and shatter.

The next moment, the bald man in black was sent flying backward, smashing hard against the razor-sharp canyon cliff. He carved out a crater as rubble scattered.

"You dare get distracted while fighting Lord Kun, you motherfucker?

Are you looking down on me, or looking up to yourself?!" Wang Kun slowly retracted his fist, his gaze mocking as he looked at the burly man in black, a smirk playing on his lips.

Then, Wang Kun’s figure abruptly vanished, reappearing next to Wang Zhen’an in the next instant.

"Third Master, I have not failed my mission. An easy cleanup," Wang Kun said with a grin.

"Mm."

"Ah Kun, well done."

Wang Zhen’an nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Yue Hongshan.

In the crater in the ground, Yue Hongshan was covered in countless ghastly sword wounds. Several of them were so deep that bone was visible. Drenched in blood, he was gravely injured.

"Yue Hongshan, who leaked the information to you? Confess, and I’ll give you a quick death!" Wang Zhen’an’s voice was frigid, his tone bone-chilling.
