Chapter 46: Fighting the Two Kings
The three treasures here are mine!
Jun Wuxie of the Evil Wind Grotto-Heaven felt a sharp gleam burst within his eyes.
He made the first move.
His figure transformed into a phantom of the night, charging like lightning toward the three treasures suspended in mid-air.
These treasures belong to me!
However, Qing Shuchen, the foremost core disciple of the Spring and Autumn Academy, would not allow it.
The scroll in his hand suddenly unfurled, resembling a painting of mountains and rivers that expanded rapidly against the wind, growing to a length of three zhang.
Jun Wuxies path was instantly blocked.
You two can fight amongst yourselves, but I will not accompany you any further.
Bai Nishiangs beautiful eyes stared fixedly at the three treasures suspended in the air. Even as ethereal and pure as a fairy, she could not remain detached.
With a twist of her waist, she moved as lightly as a startled swan and as gracefully as a swimming dragon.
Employing the flying fairy beyond the heavens technique, she had already closed in on the three treasures.
Bai Nishiang, I, the Hundred-Battle Dragon King, have yet to speak. How dare you covet these three treasures?
Yet, at that very moment.
Suddenly, behind Bai Nishiang, a dragon-shaped true Qi surged toward her.
Bai Nishiang spun around abruptly, her delicate body struck as if by a heavy blow, and she landed in a disheveled state.
Standing before her with his hands clasped behind his back was a man in yellow robes.
The Hundred-Battle Dragon King, Yue Jue!
The sudden appearance of this man instantly halted the combat between Jun Wuxie and Qing Shuchen.
Bai Nishiang also fixed her worried and somewhat fearful gaze upon him.
The presence of the Hundred-Battle Dragon King, one of the Four Monarchs of the Great Qian Academy, caused everyone to feel an immense pressure.
Conversely, Mu Yi was entirely forgotten by them.
None of them held Mu Yi in any regard.
After all, Mu Nias cultivation was merely at the second level of the Divine Transformation Realm.
They all viewed Mu Yi as nothing more than a passerby, not sparing him a second glance.
Yue Jue, your strength is indeed extraordinary. If it were one-on-one, I fear we might not be your match.
Jun Wuxies eyes turned cold and deep. But do not forget, there are three experts here. If we join forces, you will likely be left with no choice but to flee.
Jun Wuxie, Qing Shuchen, and Bai Nishiang.
All three of their cultivations were at the half-step Origin Realm.
And the Hundred-Battle Dragon King, Yue Jue, was likewise at this realm.
Therefore, they would not accept Yue Jue attempting to monopolize the treasures.
Oh? Is that so? Do you truly believe I came alone?
At that moment, Yue Jue smiled.
From the entrance, a powerful aura suddenly descended.
The three of them turned back immediately, their pupils contracting rapidly.
For they beheld a man clad in iron-cyan robes.
The Wind-Thunder Leopard King, Lei Shan!
The man who had appeared was none other than one of the Four Monarchs of the Great Qian Academy, the Wind-Thunder Leopard King!
Jun Wuxie, Qing Shuchen, Bai Nishiang, the three of you may now leave.
Lei Shan walked inside, his tone cold. Of course, if you do not wish to leave, then you may leave your lives behind instead.
When the two monarchs of the Great Qian Academy were united, all suspense vanished in that instant.
The hearts of Jun Wuxie, Qing Shuchen, and Bai Nishiang, which had still harbored thoughts of resistance, instantly turned ice-cold.
The mere appearance of the Hundred-Battle Dragon King Yue Jue had already subjected them to unprecedented pressure.
Now, with the arrival of the Wind-Thunder Leopard King, they abandoned even the thought of fighting back.
Qing Shuchen and Bai Nishiang lowered their heads, preparing to depart.
However, suddenly, Jun Wuxies gaze locked firmly onto Mu Yi, his expression changing drastically as if he had made a monumental discovery.
Hahaha! Yue Jue, Lei Shan, have the two monarchs of the Great Qian Academy forgotten the purpose of entering this Dragon Gate Tournament?
Jun Wuxie suddenly burst into laughter.
Hm? What do you mean?
Yue Jue and Lei Shan immediately darkened their expressions, their gazes sharpening like blades.
Hahaha! While the few of us stood here in a standoff, everyone completely overlooked a person.
Jun Wuxies gaze shifted toward Mu Yi. Do not forget, this person was the very first to arrive here.
Merely a passerby, is he worth any attention?
Qing Shuchen and Bai Nishiang were also puzzled, unable to understand what game Jun Wuxie was playing.
He is no mere passerby.
Jun Wuxie looked at Mu Yi, his expression growing solemn. Not long ago, two other monarchs of the Great Qian Academy, Yao Tiannan and Fang Yiyu, were reduced to fleeing for their lives in his presence.
Tell me, is he merely a passerby?
At last, Jun Wuxie uttered news that shocked everyone present.
Within Yue Jue and Lei Shan, rumbling sounds echoed from their bodies.
This was the manifestation of their power reaching its absolute peak instantly.
A tempest enveloped the entire grand hall.
You are Mu Yi!
Yue and Lei seemed to have completely forgotten the three treasures ahead.
Flanking from left and right, they trapped Mu Yi in the center.
Previously, Mu Yi had defeated the Blood-Hand Tiger King Yao Tiannan on the island, while Fang Yiyu had appeared yet dared not fight, hastily rescuing the former instead.
He had even left behind a hundred disciples of the Great Qian Academy, like lambs waiting for slaughter, entirely at Mu Yis mercy.
This earth-shattering news across the Dragon Gate battlefield had spread like wildfire.
As the remaining two monarchs, Yue Jue and Lei Shan had naturally caught wind of it.
Hmph, to think that the Four Monarchs of the Great Qian Academy cannot even recognize the target they are supposed to hunt down when he stands right before them. I truly begin to wonder if Wen Lingzun, the headmaster of your academy, has abyssal taste.
Mu Yi suddenly smiled.
His eyes, looking at Yue Jue and Lei Shan, were as though he were gazing upon two fools.
Mu Yi!
Yue Jue and Lei Shan trembled intensely.
Previously it was only a question.
Now it was finally confirmed beyond doubt.
Not just the two of them.
Qing Shuchen and Bai Nishiang were equally astounded.
They had previously dismissed the person before them as an insignificant passerby.
Who could have imagined that he was the very sensation currently being fiercely debated across the entire Dragon Gate battlefield—Mu Yi!
Let us make things clear first.
Mu Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looking utterly composed. Previously, your Monarch Fang Yiyu did not dare to fight, and Yao Tiannan is nothing more than my defeated foe; facing me, the two of them could only run.
I wonder if the two of you intend to flee as well?
If you are men, fight me to the death! Do you dare?
Mu Yi had indeed grown tired of Fang Yiyu and Yao Tiannan escaping.
This time, he intended to ensure that at least one of the Four Monarchs of the Great Qian Academy fell here.
Fang Yiyu was attempting to break through to the Origin Realm at the time, which was why he temporarily could not strike you. Otherwise, had he truly joined forces with Yao Tiannan, you would have perished long ago. Would you still have had the chance to stand here?
Yue Jues face was filled with cold sneers as he uttered taunts.
Oh? So you believe that as long as the two monarchs are united, you can slay me?
Mu Yi smiled. Exactly what I desire. Today, I intend to beat the two of you to death, or be beaten to death by the two of you.
Then we shall gladly accept!
Yue Jue took a step forward, causing the earth to fracture and the entire hall to tremble.
With a single punch, resembling a roaming dragon and a divine serpent, he struck directly toward Mu Yis chest.
It was Yue Jues ultimate technique, the Sword-Dragon Fist!
Well come, let me test your worth.
Mu Yi remained rooted in place, striking second yet arriving first.
The hundred-foot dazzling dragon fist had already been unleashed.
The two fists collided.
Rumble!
The earth roared, dust billowed, and rocks flew through the air.
Yue Jues body shook violently, his footsteps retreating repeatedly as he left deep footprints in the stone floor.
His eyes were filled with incomparable shock.
You are not in the Divine Transformation Realm at all; you are in the Origin Realm!
At the instant of their collision, Yue Jue had sensed the power within Mu Yis body, as irresistible and unalterable as the will of heaven.
This completely surpassed the might of the Divine Transformation Realm.
If I were truly in the Origin Realm, then Fang Yiyu and Yao Tiannan would never have been able to escape from my hands.
Mu Yi chuckled coldly. However, it is merely temporary. The next time they cross paths with me, whether they descend to the nether springs or ascend to the azure heavens, they will undoubtedly die.
Now, let me dispose of the two of you first.
Mu Yi finally made his move.
He had played enough.
It was time for it to end.
Taking a step forward, the roars of dragons and tigers echoed within his body like booming temple bells.
Forming a seal with his five fingers, with the might of a thunderbolt, he brought it crashing down toward the crown of Yue Jues head.
It was none other than one of Mu Yis supreme arts, the Seal of Heaven and Earth Suppression.
If Yue Jue failed to block this blow, his life would forfeit right then and there.
Rumble.
Yet Yue Jue was not alone.
Behind Mu Yi, a heavy, ferocious fist struck violently, creating sparks through friction in the air.
It was the Wind-Thunder Leopard King Lei Shan making his move.
Noticing that Yue Jue was in a perilous situation, he decisively intervened to rescue his ally by attacking the adversary.
