Chapter 218 (1/2)

Gao Yuan Lake alone killed two old Taoists who were level 3 of the Small Perfection Stage. This was also the first time he showed his true strength in front of an outsider.

Everyone in the martial arts world knew that the Gao Family could not afford to offend them, but they always felt that the Gao Family could not afford to offend them because the Gao Family had the imperial government as a backer.

Many people had already forgotten that if it hadn't been for that old master of the Gao Clan's a.s.sistant, the Yan Emperor might not have been able to take down this entire land.

There were rumors of the Gao Family everywhere in the martial arts world, but most of them had already deviated from the martial arts world.

In the end, the Gao Family was the overlord of Yan Kingdom's martial arts world.

To be more precise, it should be said that the Gao Clan was after all the hegemon of the Yan Kingdom's underworld martial arts world.

A family that dared to attack a Royal family, who could say that he wasn't strong?

The East Warming Pavilion was just a room, one that was located to the east of the Hall of Heavenly Harmony.

Empyrean Terminus Palace had three temples located in a straight line. The first was the Empyrean Terminus Palace, which was the meeting place.

Behind the Empyrean Terminus Palace was the Sky and the Temple, separated by a hundred and fifty meters.

At this moment, the one hundred and fifty meter wide s.p.a.ce was filled with corpses.

The guards and a.s.sa.s.sins were still fighting. At the start, the guards' counterattack had frustrated the a.s.sa.s.sin, but with the huge advantage in numbers, the a.s.sa.s.sin quickly took the initiative.

By now, the entire Heaven Temple had collapsed, leaving only the East Warming Pavilion standing there alone.

The one-meter-tall platform in front of the hall had completely disappeared, to be replaced by a huge crater that was more than a dozen meters deep.

At the bottom of the hole, there was a square stamp, and beneath the seal, there were the corpses of two Small Perfection Realm experts.

Gao Yuan and the others did not dare to easily take back the square stamp. After all, it was an expert of the Small Perfection Realm. No one could be sure whether or not those two old Daoist had truly died.

He strode outside the East Warming Pavilion and bowed, ””My king, please return to heaven.””

At the window, Mu Changyan squinted at the lake and asked, ””Just you alone?””

Gao Yuan stood up straight. ””What else does the King have?””

Mu Changyan smiled and said, ””You can try.””

Gao Yuan kept silent for a while before he nodded. ””This subject will give it a try.””

He stepped forward, a terrifying black light flickering in the center of his palm.

A long sword was placed on the table in front of Mu Changyan.

The scabbard was not gaudy and did not have any gemstones attached to it. It was just an ordinary wooden scabbard.

His hand was on the side of the sheath, within reach.

It was precisely because of this sheath that Gao Yuan stopped in his tracks.

He took a closer look and realized that it was not a longsword at all, but just a sheath.

Empty scabbard.

However, Gao Yuan's face changed. He was obviously hesitating whether he should continue walking forward or not.

””Is that the supreme treasure used by w.a.n.g Dingjiang in the past?””

Gao Yuan asked.

Mu Changyan smiled and said, ””So you also know him.””

Gao Yuan was silent once again, as if he was calculating whether he could still kill Mu Changyan.

After about two minutes, Gao Yuan took a deep breath and said, ””I still want to try.””

Mu Changyan nodded. ””You do it.””

Gao Yuan took another deep breath. The black light in his palm began to spread out. A moment later, his entire body was enveloped by the black light.

He could no longer see that it was a person. It was only a ma.s.s of black light.

The black light moved forward, and the earth around it turned black.

As he got closer, the East Warm Pavilion, which was already in a precarious position, began to emit smoke. The wood began to turn black, and it might start to burn in the next second.

Mu Changyan grabbed the scabbard and moved forward a centimeter.

The black light that was moving forward froze, then it involuntarily took a step back.

The black light seemed to have b.u.mped into an invisible wall. The light in front was flat, appearing extremely strange.

The black light began to sway, then it transformed into a black snake that coiled around Gao Yuan's body.

The lake stared at the scabbard for another minute, then held out its right hand.

The black snake of light moved from his body to his right arm, before taking a bite.

The black snake unexpectedly bit a hole in his arm and drilled into it.

Gao Yuan shouted, and his right arm turned black in an instant.

All the clothes on his arms were blown away, and his black arms glittered with dark gold tattoos.

However, it was not a tattoo at all. It was a tattoo that focused all the power of his cultivation on his arm.

He moved his right hand forward, touching the invisible barrier.

””Even the Taizu's remnants cannot stop me from killing you!””

Gao Yuan roared, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

The dark golden tattoo on his right hand grew brighter and brighter. With a pah sound, it was as if something had been p.r.i.c.ked. His arm rushed forward.

Inside the East Warming Pavilion, Mu Changyan's scabbard tightened.

It was as if there was an invisible hand grabbing onto the scabbard and beginning to fight with Mu Changyan.

Mu Changyan's expression was especially solemn. He gripped the scabbard tightly before biting the tip of his tongue and spitting out a mouthful of blood onto the scabbard.

The scabbard suddenly began to emit a red glow.

Immediately following that, a frost began to spread out at a speed visible to the naked eye, freezing the originally invisible cultivation base.

There was a line between the frozen lake and the scabbard. That was the power of his and Mu Changyan's battle for the scabbard.

He didn't know how the power of ice on the sword sheath could be so strong that it could freeze the invisible power of cultivation.

In the next second, frost covered the back of Gao Yuan's right hand.

Gao Yuan shouted, and the dark golden tattoo on his arm became especially bright.

The black light moved forward, and the frost retreated.

However, the black light only strengthened for a few seconds before the frost returned from the tip of Gao Yuan's finger.

This time, the ice began to spread at an even faster rate. In the blink of an eye, it had completely covered Gao Yuan's right arm.
