185 Chapter 185 (1/2)

The exact same strategy was attempted a second time even due to the complaints of the other cultivators, and just as expected it had failed. At this exact time, Matt was looking at his hand, it was trembling after he had defended himself against the strange ghastly attack of this new opponent.

'This guy might be tricky...'

He clenched his fist while looking up at the enemies before him. He thought that his improved disguising technique would let him take out one more grand elder before the big battle. He underestimated their leader's detection skills, he was now looking at the man while frowning.

Yang Guanyu [ Nascent Soul Late Stage ]

'One in the late stage, one at the middle stage and three at the early stage...'

Handling the four of the people that chased him down previously was hard enough. Now he had to go against this slender man looking old fart, which lowered his chances of victory even more.

'Those two haven't come out of their seclusion and I have no idea how close they are...'

The dimensional regalia masked any inside auras so he wouldn't know if they were breaking through even if it was happening right now.

”You want to go to the city while I'm here? Do you think you can handle me alone? Are you sure about that?”

Matt clenched his fists and flew up into the air, he could see that army of over a hundred flying ships heading towards Spirit Spring City. Even without the protection of their nascent soul elders, it would be hard to shoot down all of these flying vessels.

Yang Guanyu snorted while moving his palm forward in a grasping motion. From his perspective this man was only in the early stage of the nascent soul, there wouldn't be a problem in just snuffing him out.

”Arrogant welp, die!”

A large purple hand of spiritual energy appeared out of nowhere. It was massive in size, each finger the size of a massive tree. The hand moved forward in a grasping motion as Guanyu attempted to crush his opponent with pure spiritual energy.

”Two can play this game, you anorexic Palpatine looking, bastard.”

Zhang Dong mirrored the motion of the Dark Palm sect leader, he created his own massive hand that went against the purple one. It was crackling with lightning energies and was radiating golden-colored energy. The two huge energy hands of the two masters collided which caused even the grand elders in the area to stop in their tracks.

”W-what is this, he can match the leader's strength?”

The two hands struggled against each other, Yang Guanyu raised an eyebrow and pushed more Qi into that hand which made it expand in size. The purple hand started wining out momentarily before the golden one expanded to match the other. After some back and forth both of the hands exploded into fine energy particles, the explosion causing hurricane-like winds that pushed some of the flying ships to the side.

Zhang Dong flew back, his opponent did the same while the explosion pushed everything away. Guanyu narrowed his eyes, this wasn't what he was expecting. His level of strength was enough to safeguard a large sect, there really weren't that many people above him at this level.

”Who are you... it's impossible that someone like you has remained hidden.”

Zhang Dong just looked up and moved his hands over his chest, he struck a valiant pose before shouting out.

”You got me, in reality, I am the son of the Azure Emperor, if you harm me you'll all get eradicated.”

The grand elders stopped and gasped, could this be true, if this youth was the actual son of the Empires ruler they would be all dead.

”Stop spewing nonsense, that is an obvious lie!”

Zhang Dong coughed into his hand while shifting his eyes to the side.

”You dare call the son of the Azure Emperor a liar! Hey, is that the Azure Emperor behind you?”

You could see a giant vein on the old Dark Palm Sect leader's forehead expanding. His pale face started getting red as he gritted his teeth.

”Kill them all!”

With this, the army of ships started to advance and it soon started getting bombarded by the city defense force that was set up on the walls. The four grand elders ignored the cultivator in white, leaving him to their sect leader. The man was confident and they wouldn't argue with him. Plus there had to be a reason that this man was trying to defend that structure, it would probably be best to find out why.
