Chapter 1180 - Heaven and Earth Alliance
Chapter 1180: Heaven and Earth Alliance
Thud! Thud!
The gentle and cold wind and scorching hot wind struck the white-clad teenager at the same time.
A thick wave of true origin surged out of the white-clad teenager’s body, and it shuddered violently. In an instant, a third of it disappeared, and as the sound rose, he was sent flying dozens of feet back. A rather deep ditch was also dug out of the ground, which was fused with the magnetic force of Earth, making it clear just how shocking was the power contained in this palm strike.
Thousand-faced Human Fox and Osaya might know that as long as the true origin aura was not broken, Happy would remain safe, but when they sensed the power that exploded from the swordsman when he attacked, they still felt chills down their spines.
Especially Osaya.
With just one move, she was injured by the swordsman in black armor. Naturally, she knew that he used his full strength in that strike just now, and that was twice the amount of power he used to attack Osaya.
However, as the old zither player cried out in surprise, Osaya’s expression changed.
“The Supreme Technique of the World? You’re the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance!”
Osaya was not the only one to swiftly switch her attention from Happy, who had a lot of trouble in his hands, to the swordsman in black armor. Bi Xuan and the others also had their expressions change. As they stared at the swordsman in black armor, their gazes turned incredibly grave.
“There’s no mistaking it. He managed to master Pure Yin Profound Qi and Scorching Yang Force at the same time, and he also managed to use it to such a degree. The only person who can do that is the master of Heaven and Earth Alliance.”
Aside from Ye Gucheng and Dongfang Bubai, Evil King, Empress Yin, the old zither player, and Osaya seemed to have heard of Heaven and Earth Alliance before.
“So, the master of Heaven and Earth Alliance has personally come to this place. It’s no wonder why you seem to have such great powers.”
Martial Paragon Bi Xuan stared at the swordsman in black armor warily, and his gaze started focusing.
“It’s said that the most mysterious sect in the Chinese plains and West Region is not Holy Fire Sect, but Heaven and Earth Alliance, which is elusive and controls the underworld. In Heaven and Earth Alliance, aside from the alliance master, Paragon Heaven and Paragon Earth as well as the four Dharma Protectors have all become One with the World. The alliance master himself is also rumored to be a person who has the greatest understanding toward the power of the dao of heaven. Now that I’ve met you… you do indeed live up to your name.”
These words were not targeted at the swordsman in black armor.
Ye Gucheng and Dongfang Bubai did not have a deep understanding toward Heaven and Earth Alliance, so this explanation gave them an understanding of the influence of the alliance and the power of its alliance master. It caused them to be wary, and it planted a seed in their hearts.
The swordsman in black armor did not refute the old zither player’s words when his identity was revealed. Instead, he cast a deep glance at the old zither player.
“I didn’t think that there would still be someone who would remember me, even though it had been a long time since I appeared in the world of wanderers.”
“You slaughtered many of the sects in the Chinese plains in the past, and your methods are brutal and vicious. You caused the imperial court and the sects in the world of wanderers to send all their forces to kill you. Even now, there are still many sects that have records about Heaven and Earth Alliance. I am also considered a wanderer, so it is only par for the course that I remember the deeds of your alliance.” The old zither player pulled his wide, black cloak over his face once more, and his voice also returned to sound as piercing and unpleasant as metal being scratched.
“But now that I’ve seen you, I cannot believe that you would actually cause endless trouble to a teenager whose qi is low. I must admit, I am rather disappointed.”
The swordsman in black armor did not deny that he was the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance, but when he heard the old zither player’s words, he knew that he wanted to interfere with the fight now. His tone changed, and he said, “Looks like after Heaven and Earth Alliance went missing for a long time in the world of wanderers, some people have already forgotten how my alliance conducts itself.”
“I wouldn’t dare to.”
The old zither cast a faint glance at the white-clad teenager who got to his feet in the distance. He seemed to be fine. With it, he sighed in relief and said, “In the past, whenever Heaven and Earth Alliance takes action to destroy a sect, you never show mercy. Human heads are used as tombs, and when you destroy sects, you leave nothing alive. The evil and righteous sects shudder when they hear your alliance’s name, and they dare not stand as enemies against your alliance. But now, Heaven and Earth Alliance is no longer as it was in the past. It does not have the four Dharma Protectors, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Jade, and the two paragons, Heaven and Earth are gone as well. Now, the alliance master himself needs to personally take action to kill a teenager…”
When he reached the latter part of his sentence, the mocking tone in his voice became very clear.
Anger flashed in the swordsman’s eyes.
Before he could fly into a rage, a clear and crazed laugher rose from the distance.
“Hahahaha… Mister Zither Player, you are wise. In the past, Heaven and Earth Alliance was domineering in everything they did, but they were always forthright in their actions. Before they did anything, they would send a letter first and state the time as well as the location in which they would come. Now, the mighty alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance doesn’t even dare to show his true face to the world. It is indeed a lamentable fact…”
A shocking cold glare flashed once more in the swordsman’s eyes, a sign that he was incredibly angry. But when he saw Happy and Osaya standing together while Bi Xuan, the old zither player and the other people in dao of heaven seemed to have surrounded the swordsman, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Even if he were once the master of the world of underworld martial artists and the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance, when he faced a group of people in the dao of heaven, he still did not dare act recklessly, even if he was repeatedly mocked by that white-clad teenager.
The boy’s recovery abilities were incredibly powerful.
Even when he suffered through his full-powered attack just now, he was still full of life, and his qi had recovered a little as well.
Right now, even if the swordsman attacked again, he would have lost his initiative. Besides…
When he thought about this in depth, the swordsman in black armor cast a glance at his arm, which had now stopped bleeding, but was still injured. He sucked in a deep breath, and under the shocked gazes from the white-clad teenager and the people in the dao of heaven, he did not attack any further. He just tapped against the ground and jumped over the mercury moat.
“Huh?”
The people were shocked.
In truth, after the people learned of the swordsman’s identity and strength, all of them simultaneously agreed that they should work together to kill him. After all, no matter how deep was his understanding toward the dao of heaven, he was injured, and he was definitely not their opponent.
What they did not expect was that the swordsman in black armor seemed to have noticed that he was in danger, and without another word, he left the hall.
When the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance jumped into the air, everyone was shocked, but they soon calmed down and stared at the swordsman in black armor leaving through the air. They wanted to see how he would clear the lockdown of the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds.
The Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds were divine weapons when it came to conquering cities. They were difficult to destroy, and they were kept suspended above the mercury moat by chains. Their area of attack was 162 feet, and nothing could survive under the attack of the phosphorus flames. The alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance might have an infamous reputation, but it was difficult to say whether he could remain alive under the attacks from the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds.
In a show of great cooperation, the group did not take action to bother him. They only watched as the alliance master drew closer to the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds.
65 feet, 32 feet…
When they saw that the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance had quickly drawn close to the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds and that he was about to enter their territory, they held their breaths.
At the moment the alliance master entered the attack range of the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds, those divine weapons suddenly had their eyes light up, and they looked like fierce creatures who suddenly opened their eyes after they had slept for a long time. A fierce light shone through their eyes.
The alliance master instantly noticed the phosphorus flames and smoke that gushed out madly from the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds’ mouths. The scorching waves immediately came charging at him from the divine weapons!
Boom!
With a loud bang, flames that covered a large area gushed out of the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds’ mouths, and the flames that shot out immediately covered every inch of a circular area of 162 feet.
The alliance master’s body was devoured by the flames in just a short moment.
The group of people in Myth Realm had fearful looks appear on their faces.
However, those in the dao of heaven had grave looks on their faces. They continued staring fixedly at the area devoured by the sea of flames, and their expressions did not change.
“Due to our mastery of the power of heaven and earth, within a short period of time, all of us in the dao of heaven are able to have varying degrees of control over the world. We can adjust the power of the world and can remain unharmed by flames for a short while. If the alliance master uses the power of the world to safely break through the net of flames and successfully crosses the mercury moat, it will not be too hard for us to cross over.” Osaya seemed to have been able to tell that Happy and Thousand-faced Human Fox were puzzled. She spoke at the perfect moment to explain things to them.
“But it will be difficult for those who do not have the power of the dao of heaven…”
When he heard this, Happy frowned.
‘Are you looking down on the people who are not One with the World?’
Osaya’s words seemed to have reduced their morale, but Happy naturally would not treat her words as the only way to cross the mercury moat.
Boom!
At that moment, a qi flow that traveled far and wide suddenly swept over to them from the sea of flames.
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, a long and huge tunnel stirred up the smoke and fire appeared in the sea of flames.
The qi flow started circulating madly, and in an instant, it formed a safety tunnel that isolated the phosphorus flames gushing out of the mouths of the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds.
The alliance master’s mighty and tall back could be seen in the deep tunnel that isolated the flames.
When he saw this, Happy frowned and sucked in a deep breath.
Suddenly, he found it a little regretful that he did not take action to kill the alliance master at the mercury moat.
Even though he knew that long-distance attacks could not possibly form any sort of threat to the alliance master, at the very least, he should have let the alliance master cross the mercury moat so easily.
The cloak the alliance master once wore was now gone, but by the looks of it, aside from that, nothing else about him seems different.
He did not stop in the slightest. The alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance never had his feet touch the flames or the mercury. In a very relaxed fashion, he got out of the attack range of the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds from the tunnel.
In the blink of an eye, the alliance master vanished from the people’s eyes.
“He went over?”
After some time, no other noise could be heard from the mercury moat. Someone in the hall spoke to break the silence.
“He should have moved over.”
Bi Xuan’s voice was grave. He stared at the mercury moat and at the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds.
“What plans do you have, everyone?”
Everyone in the hall seemed to have forgotten about Happy’s fight against the alliance master of Heaven and Earth just now. They also forgot about everything else and started to become eager to cross over.
All of them had originally been at the same starting point, but now, as the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance jumped over, he was now immediately ahead of everyone else.
When they thought of the alliance master’s abilities and thought about how he could possibly find the treasures in the desert palace ahead of the others, they became anxious and really wanted to grow wings so that they could fly over the mercury moat.
“The situation is bad.”
At this moment, Osaya sent a message to Happy to complain. “The alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance has left ahead of us. If he’s waiting on the other side, we might face a lot of danger if we go over.”
Happy was completely unconcerned about what Osaya was worried about.
He had the Dragon Swings Its Tail, and Happy was not worried that anyone could possibly pose as a threat to him. Besides, he had not revealed his trump card just yet. Even if the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance attacked him, if Happy fought at full strength, it would be difficult for him to get an advantage over him.
Besides…
“We don’t have a lot of time to spend in the desert palace. If I were the alliance master, I wouldn’t waste my time over an insignificant person. Besides, he might be thinking that I can’t go over the mercury moat at all.”
When Happy said this, his tone changed, and he said firmly, “Osaya, when they take action later, leave ahead of us. Don’t care about us, we’ll talk later once we meet up later.”
“Alright.”
