Chapter Sixteen: The Towering Sky

  Yun Yijian raised his head and gazed into the void, piercing through heaven and earth. He only saw a faint shadow rushing towards him, stirring up boundless demonic energy, evoking terror that filled the sky.

  Nangong Qilan rose from the chair, her eyes fixed on the void, her face slightly solemn, and her meridians automatically opened. Nineteen meridian wheels ran through her body, and a pair of silver-white wings suddenly stretched out behind her back, just like an angel.

  "Who is he?" Situ Jun was shocked by Nangong Qie Lan's intimidating gaze, and even more so by the young man who flew in from the void.

  Too powerful! At least at the level of condensing pulse, it is absolutely invincible! The demonic energy around him was overwhelming, as if the heavenly demon had descended to earth, shocking the world.

  "He is Lou Ao Tian, although he is a human-demon hybrid, born in the Creation Continent, but his demonic nature is no worse than that of the demon tribe. He is ruthless and cruel, often slaughtering an entire city!" Nangong Qilan said solemnly, looking at Lou Ao Tian who was getting more and more anxious. She took out a pair of wing-like divine weapons and threw them to Yun Yexian, "This is called Zhenyun Chi, it and the wings on my back were forged by the same master craftsman, infused with vein power, allowing you to fly freely, doubling your combat strength. Blood oath to acknowledge ownership, follow me to intercept him, don't let him enter the city!"

  Nangong Qiblue finished speaking and spread his wings to fly, shaking the sky, causing the earth to sink, and the Xuānwǔ Platform was almost shattered.

  Yun Yijian received the Zhenshui Wing, cutting his finger to force out a drop of essence blood. The Zhenshui Wing automatically merged into his body, as if it were a part of his own flesh.

  "Out!"

  Yun Yijian said in a low voice.

  Zhenyun Chi spreads open his wings, constantly striking the vast sky, transforming into a heavenly god, flying across the heavens.

  "It's indeed a good thing! It's worthy of being a product of the Sacred Land!" Flight, apart from relying on external objects, can only be achieved after formally entering the stage of refining one's spirit and cultivating one's veins. Who would have thought that it was possible to fly during the opening of the veins period? Yun Yixiang felt some excitement.

  "If there's only Lao Tiantian, you don't need to make a move. If there are others, you must help me stop them!" Nan Gong Qie Lan said in a low voice.

  "No problem!" Yun Yijian's sword intent shot up to the sky, his heroic spirit was overwhelming, and he suddenly accelerated his speed, his body rubbing against the air with a loud whistling sound.

  As swift as a falcon, the two of them had the momentum of a thunderbolt. In mid-air, three people collided, their battle intent bursting into the sky. The eyes of each person revealed an invincible fighting spirit.

  "Haha, it's actually a special physique, no wonder the princess didn't even participate in the Void Road training!" After removing the demonic aura, Lou Ao Tian was absolutely stunning, with a handsome face that showed a hint of illness. He was nearly two meters tall, slightly taller than ordinary humans, wearing a black battle robe, with long hair fluttering and sideburns reaching his shoulders. A pair of dark black wings flapped behind him, but the demonic aura had ruined his temperament completely.

  "Are you here alone? What brings you to this deserted road? You didn't come all the way just to find me, did you?" Nan Gong Qi Lan asked in a low voice.

  "Ha! You overestimate yourself! Is it worth opening the domain gate to find you? I'm here to find that scoundrel, Lu Yunfei, who dares to cheat me, Young Master! If I catch him, he's dead for sure!" Lou Aotian gritted his teeth at the mention of Lu Yunfei's name, clearly having been deceived by him before.

  "Lu Yunfei? Isn't he the one who specializes in seducing young girls to dedicate themselves, and then sells them at a high price after they've been ruined, with a heart that's extremely perverted, always sneaking around, claiming to be a loser in this life but will continue on the old path in the next life, the Kunlun Sacred Palace's sacred son Lu Yunfei?" Nan Gong Qilan heard that Lou Ao Tian was also being blackened, and immediately asked with a smile.

  "Who else is that bastard? I clearly took out a top-grade pulse technique, spent my money, and when I got it back in my hands, it was actually a low-grade piece of trash. Not only that, but he also swindled me out of all my pulse crystals. When I catch him, I'll definitely kill him!" At the mention of this matter, Lou Ao Tian's demonic energy surged to the sky, his eyes turned bright red, and his killing intent grew even stronger.

  "Haha, I've never heard that Luyunfei could deceive even the strongest elite of the Void Road, Lou Ao Tian! It's hilarious! But you're looking for him here, does he have something to do with Qingzhou?" Nan Gong Qie Lan asked, trying to hold back her laughter.

  "Yes, that bastard opened the domain gate and rushed to Qingzhou. What's so funny? One day you'll be blackened too!" Lou Ao Tian said coldly.

  "How dare he!" Nan Gong Qi Lan said coldly.

  "Alright, I won't drag this on with you. I'm not in the mood for a big fight today either. This little lover of yours is someone you just found, right? When did your taste change? It's actually during the opening period." Lou Ao Tian said to Yun Yijian.

  "Stop spouting nonsense in front of me, or I'll kill you!" Nangong Qiblue's face was as cold as frost, and his Cloud Wing fluttered with anger, clearly enraged.

  "Hahahaha, if you could really kill me, you would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?" Lou Ao Tian let out a piercing laugh and turned to face Yun Qian Jian with a gloomy expression, "Kid, although I can't tell what your physique is, I know you must have a special physique that caught Blue Grandfather's eye. We'll fight sooner or later, I'm looking forward to that day, hahahaha!"

  "I wish you won't run into the Three Swordsmen when you're searching for a way out, or else you'll never have the chance to fight me!" Yun Yijian's words were astonishing, and he emphasized the word "sword" so heavily that it almost made Lou Aotian fall from the sky.

  Three Swordsman, that is the highest evaluation of the three weird men in the nine states, the three people are Lu Yunfei, He Dashi and Lin Wendlon, all of whom are sacred sons of the holy land, with swordsmanship unparalleled, but their behavior is unbridled, doing things without standards, only playing by their own rules, and got such a loud title!

  "Don't worry, don't bother worrying about it, just think about yourself. Rumor has it that the men who follow Princess Nangong will not live for three months. Take a look at those two men who have been following her around every day!" Lou Ao Tian said, striking the air and disappearing into the horizon in an instant, leaving behind a rolling demonic aura that shocked Qingzhou.

  Lou Ao Tian's brief words directly broke the ominous relationship, and Nan Gong Qi Lan's face changed greatly, instantly striking Lou Ao Tian who was far away.

  "Hahaha, are you angry? I'm telling the truth!" Lou Ao Tian's voice came rolling in, shaking heaven and earth, almost stirring up the Heavenly Way and the Laws.

  "Don't listen to his nonsense, this cheap person, is a match for Lu Yunfei!" Nan Gong Qi Lan said coldly.

  "It has nothing to do with me, do you think I'll follow you? You're overestimating yourself!" Yun Xiejian said calmly.

  "You...!" Nan Gong Xue's face turned blue with rage, and he suddenly unleashed his mighty aura, shouting angrily, "I've tolerated you for far too long! Heaven-Defying Palm!"

  Pulsating energy tears through the sky, slender fingers transform into colossal hands that cover the heavens and come forth, formless aura blasts through the void.

  Afraid you won't succeed, Void Mystery, Severing Heaven's Hand! Yun Yiqian saw Nan Gong Xue Leng was really angry, and suddenly all the hidden cards were revealed. This is a pulse technique passed down from the Void War Clan, extremely powerful, absolutely one of the rarest techniques in the world!

  The two collided, the sky collapsed, Yun Yijian was smashed flying thousands of miles away, coughing up blood nonstop. The gap was too great, even with a physical body so strong and so many meridians opened, he was still knocked down by Nangong Qie's single palm.

  "There's a way to lower the boundary and fight me! If I lose, I'll follow you for life!" Yun Yijian was furious. The opponent was Wang, the same-level invincible, the sacred and supreme princess of the Holy Land, and the pulse technique used was absolutely the strongest in the world, and it was impossible to resist.

  "Joke! If it were really a matter of life and death, would others lower their guard and fight with you? Today I won't stop until I defeat you!"

  The void trembled, the heavenly might was overwhelming, and the two of them went crazy, unleashing their true flames. Nan Gong Xue Lan had almost used up all her trump cards, except for not using the divine sword to slay evil, Yun Yicheng's body exploded, bleeding non-stop.

  "Bring it on, old man! I'll make you know that women are forever women! Void technique, Sky Split!"

  Yun Yijian's Void Body burst forth, his ultimate technique fully revealed. Although the Void Ultimate Technique wasn't unique to the Void War Clan, it possessed the strongest control ability.

  He saw his palms turn into sharp blades, tearing through the void, and in an instant he rushed to Nan Gong Xiu Lan's side.

  "What a profound and mysterious meaning!" Nan Gong Qi Lan was shocked, her palms transformed into divine soldiers, directly resisting with brute force.

  Yun Yijian suddenly changed his move as he attacked, bending his arms and directly embracing her with a terrifyingly powerful force that exploded from his body, tightening his grip to pull her into his embrace.
