Chapter 538 War (2/2)

It was not only the bystanders that would think of this as unimaginable, Emperor Xia thought the same as well.

Emperor Xia once sent people to chase after and kill this youngster, so he had almost no impression of Yunyang. When Yunyang sent a phoenix to deliver a message to the emperor, that was when the emperor sensed some heroic spirit in the boy and that was all.

Today was a different story. Emperor Xia now saw that the boy not only had heroic spirit but also guts.

In near distance, Guan Longzi grasped his pen and a jade scroll. Finally, he wrote down some words, ”The Emperor and Yunyang meet in the wilderness”.

With that simple sentence, Guan Longzi managed to capture every light and every shadow made by the swords as well as each hair-raising moment. Regardless of its succinctness, if future generations chanced upon Guan Longzi's handwriting, they would be able to see the excitement revealed by each stroke of the pen.

The dispute between Yunyang and Emperor Xia was the epitome of Dongyi and Xia Kingdom's thousand-year-old resentment. The precise resentment was unclear. Even if they took three whole days just to argue it out, they would still be left without a clear answer in the end. There were times where the Xia Kingdom has fallen and one of those times was a result of Dongyi's attack on the Xia Kingdom. When the Xia Kingdom was at peak strength, Dongyi was a deferential vassal. There was even a point during Dongyi's deference where the Xia Kingdom experienced civil unrest. The emperor fled to Dongyi, requesting aid from Dongyi's military force to quell the revolt.

Regardless of how debatable the resentment may be, the tension still had to be resolved.

In this world, however, a resolution was not so much of a solution as it was the deciding factor in life and death.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

Yunyang was younger than Emperor Xia. His cultivation was slightly more shallow compared to the emperor and yet he stood there all by himself. He was at a disadvantage but still, he came. Regardless of whether he would win or lose in this fight, he would be a person of celebrated reputation. But if he lost, he would have to pay a heavy price. That price would be so heavy that there would not be the slightest chance for him to regret.

No one could comprehend his reasoning behind this, including Emperor Xia. The emperor neither understood nor wanted to understand.

Only one sentence was spoken by the emperor, ”Since you have come, you shall die.”

Yunyang stared intently at Emperor Xia and softly replied, ”Try me.”

Emperor Xia said nothing further. He was not a man of many words. Furthermore, he understood long ago that it was much more effective and efficient to get a point across by a blunt exchanging of fists as compared to the flowery exchange of words.

A fist appeared between the heaven and earth out of a sudden. From Yunyang's perspective, the only thing that remained was this massive iron fist.

The Xia army quickly retreated. Within a flash, they retreated more than five thousand meters but it was still not enough.

They kept on retreating as if they knew that a great destructive force would be unleashed once the emperor made his move.

Shen Lian calmly and attentively watched the events through the water as they unfolded. With his Monitoring Technique, he observed the fight between the two from a brilliant viewpoint.

Emperor Xia's fist did not undergo any unnecessary transformations, only his bare strength was released. Even so, it would not be easy to dispel the transformation of the fist.

There was no earth-shaking explosion. Anything in the way of Emperor Xia's mighty power would simply be crushed to dust. The only thing that could be seen was the appearance of a crater in front of him. When viewed from above, the crater was a large impression of a fist with a surface area of roughly five or six meters.

Emperor Xia's figure continued to build up to about a thousand feet.

The muscle and flesh of his body coiled and entwined. It was lavish with the beauty of power.

Having retreated some hundred thousand meters away, each soldier dug a pit from where they stood and buried themselves there. Apparently, they had received special training and knew that this was the best way of avoiding the effects of Emperor Xia's power.

Naturally, Emperor Xia's one punch could not dispose of Yunyang, for the latter was up in the sky, carried on the back of an emerald phoenix. His hair danced along with the breath of the wind and he stood upon the beast with his hands clasped behind his back. With an imposing countenance, he looked at Emperor Xia.

This might just be the most exciting battle the Netherworld had seen in more than a hundred years.
