Yang Dong’s terrifying scarlet eyes suddenly flared, and he said in a deep voice, "Yes, Teacher!" "Mr. Teng!" Mu Yunji beside him exclaimed in shock, "But the Helian family has the Heaven Wind War God guarding them; this matter cannot be handled so rashly." He had also heard that Teng Qingshan had entered the Void Realm.
However, to Mu Yunji, who only had a vague understanding of the Void Realm, Teng Qingshan had just arrived there. As for the Heaven Wind War God, who had entered the Void Realm for two hundred years—who was superior was hardly a question.
"Qingshan..." Li Jun also looked at Teng Qingshan with concern. "Relax," Teng Qingshan looked at his wife.
"Xiao Jun, I've told you before, it is extremely difficult for a Void Realm expert to kill another Void Realm expert." "Mmm." Li Jun was slightly reassured. "Let's go!" Teng Qingshan glanced at Yang Dong.
"Yes, Teacher." Yang Dong, brimming with killing intent, followed Teng Qingshan out of the pavilion. By the shore of the Donghua Garden lake, a beautiful divine bird, the 'Azure Luan,' was leisurely pacing back and forth, resembling a gorgeous princess.
Teng Qingshan's spirit was naturally connected to the power of heaven and earth. A commanding thought was transmitted to the Azure Luan.
"Hm?" The Azure Luan turned to look at Teng Qingshan, then spread its wings, tracing a beautiful arc, and flew to hover above him. "Let's go!" Grasping Yang Dong, he leaped onto the Azure Luan's back in one movement.
Guided by Teng Qingshan, the Azure Luan let out an excited cry, "Yooo~~~" The sound echoed throughout Donghua Garden, and then it vanished from the sight of Li Jun, Fu Yuping, Mu Yunji, and the others, leaving behind a faint streak of fiery light. …… Ten thousand zhang high in the sky, above the clouds.
The Azure Luan was like a blazing crimson meteor, astonishingly fast. "The Azure Luan's speed is indeed great, but now that I have reached the Void Realm, I should be able to make it even faster." Teng Qingshan had witnessed the Heaven Wind War God using the spiritual power of heaven and earth to assist, causing an ordinary raptor, a Gray Eagle, to reach speeds close to that of a Xiantian Golden Core level demonic beast.
Teng Qingshan willed it, and immediately, a large amount of Fire Attribute power began to surround the Azure Luan. Fire Attribute power is one of the spiritual powers of heaven and earth.
Under Teng Qingshan's control, part of the Fire Attribute power worked to eliminate air resistance, making the Azure Luan fly more easily, while simultaneously enveloping it to increase its speed. "Swoosh!" The Azure Luan's speed increased by a full sixty to seventy percent.
What did sixty to seventy percent signify? The Azure Luan's flying speed was already extremely fast, significantly quicker than the average Xiantian Golden Core avian demonic beast.
Increasing that speed by another sixty to seventy percent meant it would likely be comparable to some avian demonic beasts that had already entered the Void Realm. "The effect is this good?" Teng Qingshan was somewhat surprised.
"Oh, right. The Azure Luan is inherently a Fire Attribute divine beast; assisting it with Fire Attribute power yields the best results," Teng Qingshan nodded to himself.
"Yoo~~" The Azure Luan, feeling its speed surge, couldn't help but call out excitedly again and again. The calls echoed across the vast sky.
But Yang Dong, beside Teng Qingshan, had a grim expression, his eyes fixed northward. No matter how mature he seemed, how cunning his mind, when faced with such matters, the young man was on the verge of collapse.
Yang Dong likely had only one thought in his heart—revenge! Revenge for his father!
To fulfill his father's unfinished ambition—to kill Helian Haotong! * Heaven Wind City covered an immense area, with a population exceeding a million.
The Helian Inner City, however, was a city within a city of Heaven Wind City. The entire Helian Inner City was also known as the Helian Estate!
The number of clan members residing there numbered in the tens of thousands, and if one added the elite troops, the population within the Helian Inner City approached one hundred thousand! The Helian Inner City had four great gates—East, West, South, and North.
Among them, the 'West Execution Gate' was where the Tianfeng Clan (the Helian Clan) displayed their might and executed prisoners. Executions of major offenders at the West Execution Gate were common occurrences at midday.
"Third Brother, surviving this great calamity will surely bring you future fortune." "Thank you for your auspicious words, Fifth Brother. Damn it, that one-eyed bastard dared to come slaughtering at my Heaven Wind Clan residence." Helian Haotong and another middle-aged man with a similar appearance stood side-by-side on the third floor of a pavilion, looking at the blackened corpse hanging high above the West Execution Gate ahead.
"Luckily, that sword strike didn't hit a vital spot. That one-eyed bastard really is..." Helian Haotong rubbed his abdomen, still feeling a pang of lingering fear as he recalled the scene from yesterday morning.
Helian Haotong's appearance was quite handsome and dashing, but his eyes held a subtle, hidden hint of lewd depravity. "Third Brother, I think you should indulge in chasing women less in the future.
Provoking such a swordsman is truly terrifying. Thank goodness he's dead." The middle-aged man next to him sighed.
"His swordplay is indeed formidable," Helian Haotong cursed. "If I had known he would become this strong, I would have killed him at any cost back then.
But it's good this way... He helped me get rid of that slut Wu Shuang.
I've wanted to drive that bitch Wu Shuang away for ages, but that woman's methods were too formidable; she was riding right over my head!" Helian Haotong glanced at the corpse hanging at the West Execution Gate with a smile: "I must thank this Yang Wang; he solved that wretched woman for me." "Hey, Fifth Brother," Helian Haotong looked at the middle-aged man beside him. "Did the family really not find Yang Wang's sword technique manual?" "We truly didn't find it," the middle-aged man replied.
Helian Haotong was slightly disappointed. "If I had known, I shouldn't have killed Yang Wang's parents back then...
Now, even if we want to trace the origins of Yang Wang's sword style, we have no way." Yang Wang's ability to kill over 170 people while surrounded by numerous masters had already drawn the attention of the Heaven Wind Clan. This was absolutely a top-tier sword art!
Within the Heaven Wind Clan, there were few slashing or sword techniques that could compare to it. "Third Brother, let's go; looking at this is pointless," said the middle-aged man beside him.
"You go first." Helian Haotong dragged a chair over, sat down comfortably, propped his legs on the pavilion railing, and gazed at the corpse above the West Execution Gate, sneering wickedly. "That one-eyed bastard, I've never suffered such a great loss in my life.
Watching him be publicly displayed like this brings me immense satisfaction." The middle-aged man shook his head and could only leave, leaving Helian Haotong alone. It had to be said, Helian Haotong had been thoroughly frightened yesterday; he even dreamed of Yang Wang chasing him throughout the night.
He now stared intently at the suspended corpse of Yang Wang, muttering under his breath. "Hm?
What is that?" Helian Haotong felt a stream of fire light shooting in from the south. …… "Look, what is that!" "That's a divine bird, a Fire Divine Bird!
And there are people on it." "There are two people!" In Heaven Wind City, especially on the street leading to the West Execution Gate, countless passersby witnessed the scene unfolding above. The Azure Luan spread its wings over the West Execution Gate of Heaven Wind City, its entire body wreathed in flames.
Standing beside it was a stern young man in a cyan robe, and beside him stood a youth with fiery red eyes. "West Execution Gate!" Teng Qingshan looked down at the West Gate of the Helian Inner City.
The corpse hanging on the West Gate was already blackened and extremely gaunt, like a skeleton. The flesh on its legs and arms had almost been stripped away, revealing the stark white bones.
Only the head remained intact enough for one to recognize the face. "Reporting to the Master, my name is Wang Yang.
The Master can just call me Old Wang." The scene where he had hired Old Wang as a stable hand still felt fresh in his memory. But now, he was publicly executed.
"Father!!!" A heart-wrenching, desperate scream suddenly rang out. Teng Qingshan looked down and saw Yang Dong’s eyes streaming with tears.
"Who is up there? This is the residence of the Heaven Wind Family.
Please depart," said a guard leader on the wall of the Helian Inner City. He looked up, his face etched with fear, but he still shouted.
Teng Qingshan looked down at the guard leader. "Hmph!" A low snort suddenly exploded near the guard leader's ear, and the leader immediately cried out in agony: "Ah!" clutching his ears and collapsing to the ground, writhing in pain.
Swish! Teng Qingshan turned into an afterimage, flashing down from the Azure Luan’s back to hover in mid-air above the city wall.
He directly reached out and embraced Old Wang's charred corpse, which had been mutilated by a thousand cuts, and then gently landed on the ground. "Old Wang..." Teng Qingshan looked at Wang Yang's face.
"You kept this grievance bottled up, never daring to tell me, simply because the enemy was the Helian family?" Teng Qingshan sighed. At Shenfushan, Old Wang was the most inconspicuous person, yet the most diligent.
Old Wang was the one who fed the War Beasts and the Camel Beasts. When buying groceries, it was Old Wang who drove the carriage carrying Li Jun and Xiaoping.
Indefatigable and never complaining! Whoosh!
Carrying Old Wang's corpse, Teng Qingshan leaped several dozen zhang and landed back on the Azure Luan's back, causing a stir among the spectators lining the street. "Dad, Dad." Yang Dong tightly hugged Yang Wang's corpse.
"Helian Haotong, Helian Haotong!" Yang Dong suddenly looked up. "Teacher, where is that Helian Haotong?" Teng Qingshan nodded, looking toward the Helian family ahead.
…… "Patriarch, he's right over there, look, right there." "He has already taken the corpse from the West Execution Gate." "Patriarch, is this person... the strongest Martial Saint, 'Teng Qingshan'?" Over a dozen men were surrounding the Helian Family Patriarch, 'Helian Haofan.' Helian Haofan looked up, his face drastically changing: "It is him, it's Teng Qingshan." …… Teng Qingshan looked down from above, his gaze sweeping over the thousands of figures watching from within the Helian Estate.
He took a deep breath, and his voice boomed like thunder: "Helian Family, listen to me clearly. Hand over Helian Haotong immediately, or I will turn your Helian Family into scorched earth!" "Scorched earth!" "Scorched earth!" "Scorched earth!"...
Like the rumbling sound of the Thunder God, the voice echoed throughout Heaven Wind City. Who dared to threaten the Heaven Wind Clan?
The residents of Heaven Wind City grew excited and crowded toward the direction of the Helian Estate. "Mr.
Teng!" A loud voice came from a distance. "This Yang Wang killed a hundred of our Helian family members..." "I told you to hand over the person!" Teng Qingshan's voice exploded suddenly, startling the speaker in the distance so much that his face turned pale.
"Hand over Helian Haotong within ten breaths. You...
are not qualified to bargain with me." …… The nearly one hundred thousand people within the Helian Inner City were completely stunned, including the Helian Patriarch, who was too frightened to say more. He had learned from the Heaven Wind War God that Teng Qingshan was already a War God level expert.
Without the Heaven Wind War God, who would dare provoke him? Moreover, the terror of the Fire Strange Bird had already been demonstrated on Ox Head Mountain.
In a pavilion. Helian Haotong was huddled in the corner of a guest room.
"Quick, quick, find Helian Haotong for me! He's in this building!" "Hurry." A scene of utter chaos unfolded.
Helian Haotong covered himself with a mat, trembling uncontrollably. "How could this be, how could this be?
That one-eyed bastard, how could he be allied with the Strongest Martial Saint..." Helian Haotong's face was ashen with terror; he was completely petrified. Urgent footsteps approached.
"Pfft!" The mat was suddenly pierced, revealing the cowering Helian Haotong hiding behind it. "Found him, found him!" The voice echoed outside.
"Mr. Teng, we'll hand over the person!"
