Battle Through the Heavens - chapter-968

“Bang!”

A soul-stirring loud sound blasted the stage. Along with it, an enormous
jade-green wave of fire carried great momentum as it wildly surged out
from the point where it had exploded in a flood-like manner while
emitting a loud bang!

At this moment, the entire Sky Stone Stage had begun to intensely
tremble. Numerous arm-thick cracks spread out unceasingly from the points
where the fire wave reached. The speed at which the fire wave spread was
extremely quick. Within a couple of breaths, it caught up with the
experts from the Hong clan who had just surrounded Xiao Yan earlier. The
fire wave churned and swallowed all of them like a gigantic fierce beast!

Chi Chi!

Blood spluttering sounds were emitted from within the fire wave.
Immediately, over a dozen figures seemed to have suffered a heavy blow as
they flew backwards. Their bodies rubbed on the ground, forming
hundred-meter-long bloody scars that startled one’s heart.

The spreading fire wave seemed to have wrapped around over half of the
Sky Stone Stage. A countless number of people rubbed the perspiration,
that had appeared because of the high temperature, off their foreheads
with trembling hands. Their lips shivered as they looked at the fire wave
that swept over before quietly disappearing. A shocked expression filled
their eyes. Under that destructive strength, they had sensed a kind of
terror that was spreading deep within their souls…

That was the terror of death. Under the explosion of the fire lotus, they
had sensed a thread of the aura of death.

It was fortunate that the fire wave ultimately did not spread into the
audience seats. However, the high temperature that was emitted still
caused some people in the front row to feel their bodies become boiling
hot. Some of their clothes even let out a ‘chi’ noise and
self-ignited, shocking them until they repeatedly screamed in panic.

The spreading fire wave continued for nearly a minute before coming to a
slow stop. Dense dust covered half of the Sky Stone Stage, causing one to
have difficulty seeing what exactly had happened.

A breeze suddenly blew over while the dust permeated the place. It
carried the heavy dust as it flew toward the sky before drifting to a
distant place.

Following the scattering of the dust, the interior of the Sky Stone Stage
finally appeared in front of everyone eyes. However, their eyes
solidified and became dull when they looked over…

All they could see was a pit, hundreds of feet in diameter, appearing in
the enormous arena below. There were numerous vein-like lines outside of
the pit. They crossed each other and occupied half of the Sky Stone Stage.

Numerous gazes stared at the enormous pit in a dull manner. Momentarily,
the entire Sky Stone Stage had descended into silent disbelief. Such
frightening destruction had been created by a young Dou Huang…

As residents of Tian Bei City, the people seated in this place had a
decent understanding of the hardness of the Sky Stone Stage. It was
reported that this enormous stone arena could endure an attack by an
elite Dou Zong. However, from the looks of the scene that appeared in
front of them, either that was a false rumor or the attack earlier had
already exceeded the attack of an ordinary elite Dou Zong.

Those people who had experienced the frightening scene earlier were more
inclined to the second possibility. Although the thought of a Dou Huang
attempting to display an attack comparable with that of an elite Dou Zong
might appear incredulous, the enormous pit in front of them told them
that this was indeed the truth.

Han Chi’s group had slightly widened their mouths. It was a long while
later before they recovered. They inhaled a deep breath and suppressed
the churning of their hearts. Their gazes swept across the surroundings
of the enormous pit. Over half of the dozen experts from the Hong clan
earlier were lying not far away with charred black bodies. Some of those
stronger and luckier ones still had some breath left. However, they were
clearly in a seriously wounded situation.

“This time around, the Hong clan… can be considered to have suffered
a great loss…”

Han Chi heart laughed in a cold gloating manner as he looked at the
charred black fellows. Quite a number of those dozen plus experts from
the Hong clan, who had surrounded and attacked Xiao Yan earlier were Dou
Huang class experts. This kind of strength might not be considered a peak
existence in the Hong clan, but they were definitely the Hong clan’s
backbone. Even the Hong clan would have difficulty withstanding losing so
many of them in one go.

“Where is Xiao Yan?”

Han Xue by the side anxiously asked while Han Chi was gloating in his
heart.

“In the sky.” Han Yue’s pretty eyes looked at the sky as she softly
informed everyone.

Everyone gazes hurriedly shifted up when they heard this. They saw a
human figure standing in the empty sky. A pair of ten-foot-long crystal
bone wings were slowly flapping behind him. There was a slight Wind
Lightning Sound when they flapped, appearing extremely gorgeous.

Under the focus of the gazes of those present, Xiao Yan in the sky
flapped his bone wings and slowly landed at the edge of the pit. He
looked at those experts from the Hong clan, who were struggling to climb
up, with an expressionless face. He clenched his hand and the heavy ruler
flashed and appeared. He strode forward and appeared beside a wounded
expert Dou Huang from the Hong clan. Without saying anything, his ruler
was swung as though he was hitting a ball.

“Crack!”

The heavy ruler slammed into the body of the Dou Huang, and he
immediately flew backwards. The clear sounds of bones breaking
reverberated over the entire arena, causing many people to feel a chill
in their hearts. They knew that with this swing of Xiao Yan’s ruler, it
was likely that the person would end up a cripple even if he recovered
unless the Hong clan could take out a high tier medicinal pill to repair
his bones.

Xiao Yan did not stop after crippling an expert from the Hong clan with
his ruler. He turned his body while maintaining a cold and indifferent
face before walking toward another expert from the Hong clan who had
managed to survive the fire lotus explosion.

The eyes of this expert immediately revealed horror upon seeing Xiao Yan.
He had just took out his weapon from his Storage Ring when a human figure
flashed in front of him. The heavy ruler was swung and a ‘chi’ sound
appeared. That person shot back like a rubber ball before landing on the
ground a hundred meters away. No one knew if he was dead or alive.

The coldness on Xiao Yan’s face became denser after having finished off
another. He turned around and walked to the next injured expert from the
Hong clan.

The entire place was silent as they watched Xiao Yan walked to the people
from the Hong clan, sending person after person flying with the swing of
a ruler without the slightest hesitation. A chill that was difficult to
contain surged from their hearts as they watched the cold and indifferent
face of Xiao Yan. This fellow might appear young, but his tactics were
quite vicious. From the looks of his manner, it was clear that he wanted
to truly cripple the Hong clan!

Han Chi’s heart also pounded violently each time Xiao Yan’s ruler was
swung. Although he was shocked by Xiao Yan’s vicious actions, it must
be said that his actions were truly decisive!

After the matter today, Xiao Yan already knew that the Hong clan and him
would definitely be in a situation where neither would rest until the
other die. Since this was the case, he would naturally not leave the Hong
clan with any strength to seek revenge on him. Xiao Yan would not slow
the slightest mercy against his enemies. Only by truly hitting the Han
clan at its core would he be able to cut off the need to worry about them
in the future.

No one could be blamed for this matter. If one were really wanted to find
someone to blame, then the Hong clan should be blamed for possessing
killing intent toward him…

“Bang!”

The heavy ruler was once again violently swung at the last expert from
the Hong clan. Xiao Yan did not care whether this person was dead or
alive. He slowly turned his head and his gaze landed on a human figure a
short distance away, who was struggling to stand up. That person was Hong
Li.

At this moment, Hong Li’s clothes were tattered. A vest that emitted a
glow was faintly revealed under his clothes. Clearly, it was not an
ordinary item. He had been able to survive the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame
because of the protection of this inner vest.

A pair of vicious blood-red eyes were revealed under his scattered hair.
Earlier, he had personally witnessed Xiao Yan sending all of the experts
from the Hong clan, who had come, flying like rubber balls. From the
looks of the heavy ruler’s strength, it was likely that very few people
would survive. This time around, the Hong clan had really suffered heavy
losses!

“Xiao Yan, since you dare to kill the members of our Hong clan, our
Hong clan will not rest until you die!”

Hong Li’s finger quivered as it was pointed toward Xiao Yan while he
viciously promised.

“Isn’t that already the case?”

Xiao Yan smiled. His smile was filled with a coldness. He was just about
to move to kill this Hong Li, when a low, deep muffled sound was suddenly
transmitted from the other corner of the Sky Stone Stage.

Xiao Yan’s gaze followed the noise and looked over. The cold smile on
his face grew even denser. He saw Chen Yun being struck until blood
seeped out from the corner of his mouth after another collision with the
Earth Demon Puppet. Although the Earth Demon Puppet did not know any Dou
Techniques, just the attacks that its physical body could unleash were
not much weaker than Dou Techniques.

If things continued in this manner, it was only a matter of time before
Chen Yun perished to the hands of the Earth Demon Puppet. After all, the
Earth Demon Puppet did not possess any impatience or negative emotions.
Since Xiao Yan had given it the order to kill the person in front of it,
it would swing its fist and smash them at that person even if it was
about to die.

“These useless people from the Hong clan!”

Chen Yun’s face had become unusually gloomy after suffering some
injuries in the fight. The corner of his eyes swiftly glanced at Xiao
Yan, and he cursed in his heart. He roared out furiously, “Hong Li, why
aren’t you calling Hong Tian Xiao? Does your Hong clan intend to be
destroyed by him today?”

Hong Li was startled after hearing Chen Yun’s furious roar. His gaze
viciously landed on Xiao Yan as he spoke in a dense manner, “Little
bastard, you can forget about leaving in one piece now that you have
killed the people from my Hong clan!”

Hong Li swiftly took out a blood-colored jade piece from his Storage Ring
and violently shattered it the moment he uttered those words.

The jade piece had just been shattered when a human figure suddenly
appeared in front of him. Hong Li hurriedly raised his head and saw a
sinister face. He hurriedly retreated in his shock.

“Bang!”

The heavy ruler was waved, and it immediately carried a ear-piercing
sonic boom as it violently slammed into Hong Li’s body. He spat out a
mouthful of fresh blood. His body flew into the enormous pit like a
meteorite. Finally, it smashed against a large rock. Rock fragments flew
in all directions. Hong Li shook a couple of times before his body
gradually became stiff.

“Xiao Yan, leave quickly. Hong Li has already sent a message to the
ancestor of the Hong clan. He will arrive soon! That old fellow’s
strength is a little stronger than even Chen Yun’s!” An anxious voice
was quietly transmitted into Xiao Yan’s ear after he sent Hong Li
flying with his ruler. Xiao Yan identified it as Han Chi’s voice.

Xiao Yan’s fist tightened. He inhaled a deep breath and cupped his
hands toward the Han clan. The bone wings on his back were flapped as he
swiftly launched into the sky. However, just as he was about to grab the
Earth Demon Puppet, a majestic aura, that was filled with a furious
killing intent, was suddenly transmitted from a corner of Tian Bei City.
Immediately, a wrathful roar resounded in the sky above Tian Bei City.

“For daring to kill the members of my Hong clan, the old me will tear
your corpse into tens of thousands of pieces and turn your bones into
ashes today regardless of who you are!”
