The True Essence power within the two men erupted fully, causing the ground to splinter and the void itself to shatter. Massive beams of black light shot out from the ruptured void, hurtling directly toward Fang Jiuyou, like falling stars plummeting to the earth. Meanwhile, the formerly pale hair of the two men rapidly darkened, and the wrinkles on their faces vanished. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into figures in their prime middle age...
At this moment, the strength of both men reached its absolute peak...
Years' Passing, a powerful, ultimate technique fueled by life force itself...
Witnessing the fracturing void, the splitting earth, and the continuously ascending waves of energy from the two figures—especially seeing the Heavenly Net illusion showing signs of being torn apart by this ferocious power—the expression on Fang Jiuyou's face grew increasingly grim...
As for the four of Fang Da, they instantly charged in front of Fang Jiuyou. The four united, with Fang Si striking the back of Fang San, who in turn struck Fang Er, and Fang Er naturally struck Fang Da. The True Essence power of the three flowed entirely into Fang Da...
"Heavenly Demon Battle Fist..." Fang Da roared, unleashing a single punch that slammed violently toward the rapidly approaching Bai Tianyu and Bai Tianhu...
In that instant, within the shattered void, a colossal Heavenly Demon materialized, bearing down upon Bai Tianyu and Bai Tianhu with incomparable might...
Bai Tianyu and Bai Tianhu were already operating at peak readiness; Bai Tianyu even showed signs of breaking through to the Martial Saint realm. Facing this terrifying Heavenly Demon, the two showed no intention of evasion, charging directly into it with their bodies...
In that instant, their bodies shone with brilliant white light, like a meteor directly colliding with the phantom of the Heavenly Demon, shattering the illusion conjured from the fist energy...
Especially on Bai Tianhu, a dazzling streak of light suddenly burst forth, striking the Heavenly Net directly. The immense force actually managed to tear the Heavenly Net asunder...
Bai Tianhu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, a clear case of injuring the enemy by eight hundred while losing a thousand of his own...
Bai Tianyu, seizing this moment, bypassed the four guards and arrived before Fang Jiuyou, raising his fist to smash down upon him...
Before the fist reached him, it transformed into a palm strike. Before the wind of the palm could even approach, Bai Tianyu extended a claw. Then, his entire body dissolved into a streak of white light, continuing its collision course with Fang Jiuyou...
A sharp glint flashed in Fang Jiuyou's eyes. He raised a hand to block Bai Tianyu's punch. The immense force sent him flying backward. Immediately after, he struck Bai Tianyu's chest with a palm, causing a gush of blood to spray out. Next, his grasp clamped onto Bai Tianyu's shoulder, leaving deep claw marks. Finally, Bai Tianyu crashed full-force into him, with all his True Essence power flooding into Fang Jiuyou...
"Crack-crack-crack-crack..." Countless sharp sounds echoed—it was impossible to tell if it was the void rupturing or the bones of Fang Jiuyou's body breaking. The onlookers only saw Fang Jiuyou's body being launched away as if he were a baseball...
He flew for thousands of zhang, slamming violently into a mountainside, carving a massive crater seven or eight meters in diameter into the rock face. A torrent of debris slid down the cliff, smashing countless delicate plants below...
The birds and beasts in the forest scattered in terror, as if the day of apocalypse had arrived...
Fang Jiuyou opened his mouth and spewed another mouthful of blood, this time mixed with chunks of flesh. His face turned utterly ashen...
At this time, although Fang Da and the others suffered internal injuries from the combined assault of the two, having absorbed the impact across all four of their ultimate techniques, their injuries were significantly lighter than Bai Tianhu's...
Knowing they were too late to protect their young master, their best recourse now was to kill the man before them. The four of them lunged toward Bai Tianhu almost simultaneously...
When Xuan Yuan Ruoxing witnessed this, a flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes, as if he were weighing whether to seize this chance to escape immediately or to stand alongside them against Fang Jiuyou and the others...
His two accompanying Martial Saints, needing no command, sped toward Bai Tianhu. They absolutely could not allow Bai Tianhu to be killed again; otherwise, the three of them alone would be unable to withstand the assault of the four...
"My Lord, go quickly! Head straight for the Bai family! We will handle this here..." However, just as the two began to move and while Xuan Yuan Ruoxing was still contemplating, Bai Tianhu's voice rang out. Immediately, golden light began to surge across his body, and his right hand rose once more...
"Starfall..." Bai Tianhu roared, unleashing that terrifying technique once again. Instantly, the four of Fang Da felt an unbearable pressure descending from the sky. Vaguely, it seemed as if a genuine star was hurtling down upon them...
The four men involuntarily blasted a punch toward the heavens, their vast True Essence power exploding outward completely, culminating in a giant mushroom cloud rising before them...
Bai Tianhu's body was immediately jolted backward, spitting blood violently from his mouth. Fang Da and the others were also knocked staggering backward, coughing up sprays of blood continuously...
"Go..." Seeing this, Xuan Yuan Ruoxing dared not delay further. He shouted, light flashing across his body as he prepared to depart. The two Martial Saints who had intended to help Bai Tianhu, upon hearing the words of both Bai Tianhu and Xuan Yuan Ruoxing, spun around, shielding Xuan Yuan Ruoxing as they turned to flee...
"Trying to leave? Where do you think you're going?" But just then, a loud, resonant voice echoed through the night sky, followed by the appearance of a figure suspended mid-air...
A head of white hair danced in the wind, and his black robes snapped audibly in the night breeze. In his hand, he gripped an ancient, purple battle saber that emanated striking streams of purple luminescence, making it dazzling and captivating in the darkness...
"Ye Jingyu..." Xuan Yuan Ruoxing gasped. Although he had suspected this was all an elaborate scheme, he never imagined Ye Jingyu was the mastermind, nor that he would arrive with such impeccable timing...
Not only Xuan Yuan Ruoxing looked stunned; even Bai Tianyu, who had just sent Fang Jiuyou flying, showed a look of sheer horror upon seeing Ye Jingyu appear...
How could this youth, whom he could once crush effortlessly, now radiate a powerful aura that instilled such despair? How could he have grown so much in just a few short years?
