The surprise attack of the king of Harmony River caught Xiang Liang by surprise. He tried to avoid the spear from hitting his vital parts, but he was still stabbed on his shoulder. He was pushed by a copious amount of irresistible huge energy that was rotating like a spinning top. At the same time, black blood mist spewed out from the side of that 'spinning top'.

This was how Xiang Liang did his utmost to resolve the damage from the spear. The resilience of the lead disciple of Royal Soldier Sect was undoubtedly evident at this moment. In spite of the sudden incident, he still managed to resolve more than ninety percent of the damage.

The devastation by the blood mist was shocking, but in fact, it was actually the extremely toxic poison contained within the spear that was pushed out even though the spear itself managed to pierce the body.

The spear strike from the king of Harmony River was intended to kill, but it only caused a minor injury to Xiang Liang. However, this was because Xiang Liang's magical power has bottomed out and many methods were too late to display. After fighting Shengjing Sect team for quite some time, he completely smashed the elite team of Shengjing Sect while not receiving any injury. For someone whose cultivation base was forcibly suppressed, this was as difficult as ascending the heaven.

Now, Xiang Liang had already stood high in the cloud, preparing to fight the new powerful opponent—one that made every strand of hair and every piece of bone in his body excited.

Xiang Liang had already recognized the opponent's identity. That lithe irresistible spear strike contained both strength and gentleness. The tip of the spear also contained soft liquid poison… Even in Nine Regions, only a few Jindan Stage people could do that kind of spear strike. And in this realm, it was even more unique.

Although his surprise attack managed to pierce his opponent, A Ye's complexion was gloomy and unsightly, as if the injured person was him and not Xiang Liang.

For someone who had consistently preferred a head-on fight, although just now he didn't have the meaning to sneak attack, in reality, it was still a sneak attack, which made him somewhat uncomfortable. But what was more difficult to accept was that this spear strike didn't achieve its proper result—the opponent's strength was more than he expected.

After learning that Flaming Valley had attacked his seriously injured wife and the Eternal Tree, his first thought was the ambushing troops of Flaming Valley in the territory of Golden City.

From a rational point of view, both of them have the same goal, the strongest force in the realm, Golden City and Shengjing Sect team. This was especially true for the Shengjing Sect team who has deep enmity with A Ye. Thus, he should join force with Flaming Valley to attack Golden City. However, in A Ye's view, that was not how it worked.

Although the surprise attack from Shengjing Sect people on Harmony River was somewhat despicable and shameless, everyone was hostile to each other, and in times of war, everything was possible. Let alone the success of the sneak attack proved that the defensive work of the capital city of Harmony River was far from adequate, thus for the most part, A Ye could only blame himself. Subsequently, he braved the danger by going deep into the opponent's territory and retaliate in. However, the anger in his heart gradually subsided.

But the subsequent sneak attack from Flaming Valley caused his anger to boil and could no longer be contained. Attacking a seriously injured woman was so out of line! Who would want to join forces with such a despicable and vile beast?

Thus, A Ye was not just going to swallow this, he thought, ”Since you sneak attacked my wife, I will cut off your senior general, a tooth for a tooth.”

Any alliance was built on mutual dread and mutual respect. If one side was unscrupulous, the alliance would exist in name only.

From the moment he received the news, A Ye took some time to locate his target and immediately came at full speed. And the timing of Shengjing Sect people was also excellent. When A Ye arrived along the creek, it was exactly when Xiang Liang's strength had been spent.

A Ye's unceremonious surprise attack was intended to strike a victory, however, Xiang Liang's coping ability far exceeded his expectation, and ninety percent of the power of the spear strike was dissolved.

A Ye's response was also very quick. When the first spear strike didn't work, he reached out and touched the precious blood mark that was attached on his spear. The amazing weapon passed down from generation to generation of the kings of Harmony River now rose to another level, becoming a sharp weapon that no one could withstand head-on.

Even if Xiang Liang was in his perfect condition, he could not withstand this blow that could break the gold clad army. Seeing A Ye's move, Xiang Liang immediately fled. Like before, in just a single step, he disappeared without a trace.

This kind of rapid withdrawal from the scene once caused Shengjing Sect team to be helpless. Naturally, A Ye was also helpless. The spear in his hand had been brimming with power, but he couldn't lock his target. However, the difference between him and Shengjing Sect team was that, even if he could not find his opponent, he had someone who could.

”Mumu, where is he?”

”... I'm going to share my vision with you. Now he's retreating at full speed. He has no intention to fight again. Are you sure you want to chase him?”

Zhou Mumu's voice contained seven-part feeling of entangled and three-part part helplessness. She firmly opposed A Ye's decision to attack the lead disciple of Royal Soldier Sect, but A Ye's intention had been set and could not be changed.

”Of course I want to chase him, otherwise, why would I come here in the first place?”

With that, Xiang Liang's shadow appeared in his mind. This was Zhou Mumu's overall view of the area from her secret spot, which she shared with A Ye. She had used a secret method from Kunlun Sect to lock Xiang Liang's position. Although Zhou Mumu was not good at fighting, she was very proficient in all kinds of auxiliary spells, which made her the most suitable partner for A Ye who excelled in a frontal fight.

After locking the opponent's position, A Ye rode the waves on the creek to pursue Xiang Liang.

One side was aggressively chasing, the other was fleeing in exhaustion. In this situation, A Ye quickly approached his target. Then, without hesitation, he lifted up his spear which was infused with the power of the blood mark and then threw it.

In his field of view, Xiang Liang's figure was torn apart. The blood mark divine spear was simply unstoppable. Even if Xiang Liang was at his peak, he would not be able to withstand it much less now? This time, he was surely dead.

After that strike succeeded, A Ye scattered the waves and a bit wearily landed on the ground. After rushing thousands of miles to come here and releasing the power of the blood mark, no matter how brave and good at fighting he was, he still felt that his feet almost couldn't hold him. Leaning on his spear while kneeling on the ground, he asked, ”How is the result?”
