Chapter 447: Chapter 166: Life Extinguishing Association! Riyue Hong Xiang!_1

The tall figure, reminiscent of a small giant, the man in black robes ‘Hong Xiang,’ strode toward the white-haired elder.

A flash of anger sparked in the elder’s eyes. Although he was known for his good temper, he was not without anger. He was an Innate Powerhouse of the East Cloud Sect, respected and held in high esteem. Yet, Hong Xiang had shown him no regard, claiming he would resolve the fight within three breaths. How could he not be infuriated?

“Boom!”

As Hong Xiang approached within three steps, the white-haired elder suddenly made his move. He swung his sleeve, and a robust burst of True Qi roared out, forming a thick and soft air wall that rolled towards Hong Xiang with crushing force.

“The Soft Cloud Strength of East Cloud Sect, huh?”

The man with the dark red bone mask instantly recognized the technique as he observed the scene; it was indeed used by someone from East Cloud Sect!

“Bang!”

The invisible yet substantial wall of Qi, roaring and rolling forward, slammed against Hong Xiang’s body, but instead of being flung away as one might imagine, the wall shattered against him. Hong Xiang did not step back an inch, and seemingly unfazed, he continued to advance at an even faster pace!

“Hmm? Soft Cloud Turns into Steel!”

The white-haired elder’s expression shifted subtly, and he no longer held back, pushing forward with both palms.

Thunderous rumbling!

In the air, winds churned and white mist that could be seen with the naked eye surged forward, immediately becoming as hard as steel upon contact with the air, crushing everything in its path like an iron mountain exerting an overwhelming force.

In previous confrontations with other martial artists who had tried to force their way into the ravine, the white-haired elder had shown restraint, merely repelling them. But facing the dangerous Hong Xiang now, he was truly exerting himself, aiming a heavier and harder Qi wall than steel; even a glancing blow would result in broken bones and torn tendons!

“Roar!”

Hong Xiang showed no sign of dodging. He let out a low roar from his throat and stepped forward, thrusting out his thick, long, and powerful arm.

“Crack, crack, crack!”

His hand forcefully pierced through the heavy steel-like Qi wall, and even as the whole wall crashed upon his body, he did not retreat an inch; that penetrating hand fiercely grasped the white-haired elder’s neck!

“Let go!”

The white-haired elder was also truly enraged. He exploded with a surging True Qi that enveloped him, misty like clouds and yet blazing like flames.

But the fingers locked around the elder’s neck found it difficult to tighten further. Hong Xiang sneered coldly and with a flick of his arm, a powerful strength surged through and flung the white-haired elder away like a cannonball.

“Bang!!”

The white-haired elder was thrown twenty Zhang away, his back smashing against the snowy mountain wall with a dull impact. Snow and shattered rocks tumbled down, and a cloud of snow dust soared into the sky!

“Cough, cough…”

The white-haired elder slid down the snowy mountain wall, involuntarily coughing twice, spitting out two mouthfuls of blood, clearly having sustained some injuries. His gaze towards Hong Xiang was filled with shock and gravity.

Hong Xiang’s body did not seem to be made of flesh and blood. The elder had practiced his Soft Cloud Strength for a hundred years, capable of being both soft and firm, yet regardless of its state, it couldn’t force Hong Xiang back even half a step. One could imagine the formidable strength of the opponent, surpassing his own!

“Boring! I detest fighting with the weak!”

Hong Xiang watched the white-haired elder coughing blood and on alert, feeling somewhat uninterested and did not pursue further.

“This Hong Xiang… has improved too rapidly. Just two years ago, he entered the Innate Realm, and joined our Life-killing Meeting, but now this strength…”

The short and plump man in black robes, witnessing Hong Xiang’s easy overpowering of the capable white-haired elder, felt a twinge of envy at the bottom of his heart, astonished by the rapid progression, estimating that it wouldn’t be long before Hong Xiang could surpass them all.

“Not bad, let’s go.”

The man in the dark red mask seemed very satisfied with Hong Xiang’s performance, nodding his approval without bothering with the white-haired elder any further, but instead headed into the ravine first.

Hong Xiang and the short, plump man in black robes followed behind, their figures disappearing at the entrance of the ravine’s fissure.

The white-haired elder witnessed this scene without attempting to stop them. In truth, he couldn’t have if he tried. Just Hong Xiang alone was extremely dangerous, not to mention the other two, who were probably no less formidable than himself.

“Hopefully the Deputy Sect Master can handle them…”

The white-haired elder thought solemnly, a heavy sense of concern in his heart. These three were definitely formidable opponents! However, his duty was merely to guard the entrance and prevent too many minor characters from entering and causing trouble.

Immediately, the white-haired elder wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and silently returned to his original position.

“Even this senior from East Cloud Sect couldn’t stop those three?”

“That ‘Hong Xiang’ is so terrifying, definitely an Innate Martial Artist! Even if we go in… we stand no chance against them!”

The thousands of martial artists watching from the outside were all chilled to the bone.

The three who just went in were undeniably Innate Martial Artists and extremely dangerous; ordinary martial artists had no business competing with them.

And all they could do was to stand outside quietly waiting, hoping for an unexpected opportunity to fish in troubled waters and pick up some benefits!

“The temperature in here… is so cold!”

At this moment, Su Changkong, relying on his superb movement skills, had rushed through the white-haired elder’s blockade into the fissure of the ravine, and upon entering, he was somewhat taken aback.

Because the temperature inside the fissure was excessively cold, the surrounding air was permeated with a visibly chilling frost. Even Su Changkong, with his constitution, felt a touch of coldness, and the farther he went inside, the colder it got.
