“Good job in coming over!”

Cao Yuan looked at He Wanzhou who was charging toward him like a sharp arrow. With an explosive bellow, he reached out fiercely with his right hand and grabbed hold of the thick and black metal spear in the distance.

At the next moment, he flicked the spear’s tip, sending endless essential Qi gushing out toward it. As a hint of cold gleam flashed by, the entire longspear was like a black dragon that had broken out of confinement, engulfing toward He Wanzhou.

Then as this spear tapped out, everyone felt like everything before their eyes was covered up by a layer of darkness and lifelessness. It was as if their own life or death were not in their own grasp.

The space was in disorder, and the spot on the spear’s tip seemed to contain endless darkness. It was like a black dragon had opened its mouth, wanting to engulf the entire world.

This was Cao Yuan’s renowned Black Dragon Spear Art. 20 years ago, he had relied on this spear technique alone to kill the number one warrior in the eastern domain with a single move, emerging victorious in the war to conquer the east. He yielded extraordinary results, eventually becoming the Generalissimo.

Even Fang Xingjian could not help but feel admiration in his heart when he saw Cao Yuan’s spear attack. ‘To be able to push the powers which are at tier five of the Divine level to such an extent… This person’s spear arts have reached the peak of perfection.

‘And to be able to condense the powers to such an extent, with the attacks’ repercussions only destroying a few streets in the vicinity at most… It means that his control over his powers…’

However, a hint of doubt also flashed in Fang Xingjian’s eyes at the same time. It was because the powers contained within the tip of Cao Yuan’s spear were sufficient to force out spatial cracks. Despite this, there was nothing created in real life. He found this to be strange.

Faced against Cao Yuan’s spear attack, He Wanzhou—a great master renowned in Confucian Sect for 30 years—did not seem to be anxious at all. He slapped out with one palm that seemed to have the great weight of the entire country.

With this palm attack, the entire space seemed to materialize like the entire country and the entire world was pressing down, challenging the black dragon’s ability to engulf it.

At the next moment, the duo’s Qi fields first clashed together, then two invisible force fields pressed against each other, creating friction. The land within a range of 1,000 meters was being pressed to the extent that cracks were breaking out.

At the next instant, the spear’s tip collided with the palm, and the two waves of powers that could collapse mountains and destroy cities clashed together. The black spear tip was instantly pressed into a curve.

At the crucial moment when the two of them exchanged blows, the soldiers around them all took a step forward. The Qi activities of several thousand people were instantly connected, turning into a spectacular Qi wave that pressed out toward Grand Preceptor He.

This was like the last straw that caused the camel to collapsed. The black spear—which had been bent to a maximum—instantly shattered, and countless fragments shot out toward the two of them.

Cao Yuan spurted out large mouthful of blood as he kept on retreating. Countless fragments shot onto his body, but they were unable to harm him in the least. There were only the clanking sounds of colliding metal. Clearly, his physical body was extremely strong.

However, with each step he took in retreat, his stomp would cause the land to shatter explosively. It sent rock pieces flying out and caused the Imperial Guards to cry out incessantly when they were hit.

Clearly, Cao Yuan was releasing the powers in his body in the process of his retreat.

As the Qi fields clashed, the surrounding Imperial Guards were also thrown off their feet. The streets in the vicinity shattered and buildings collapsed, producing deafening sounds. It was a scene as if the end of the world were here.

However, this was when Cao Yuan and He Wanzhou, who were both at the pinnacle in the world of martial arts, released 99% of their powers on the other party’s body. Otherwise, it would just implicate the streets nearby. A large part of the Divine Capital would probably be at risk of being destroyed.

In comparison to Cao Yuan who seemed to be severely injured, He Wanzhou—a great master in Confucian Sect—seemed to only have a paler countenance, with no signs of being seriously injured.

He Wanzhou took a step forward. Moving like the drifting clouds in the sky, he landed before Cao Yuan. He slapped out his palm and sent his Qi field gushing out, wanting to crush Cao Yuan’s head.

However, at this critical moment, a stream of sword light darted out from Cao Yuan’s shadow. Right after, an overwhelming sword light came encompassing toward He Wanzhou’s entire body.
