664 Leave or Die (1/2)
This happened in an instant.
It was an extremely important turning point in the battle.
The snapped thorn vines turned into countless emerald spots in Yan Qing's hands. His thick body muscles seemed constrained beneath the elegant emerald robe.
After he was done with the two thorn vines, he took a step forward and grabbed all the other vines in his arms.
The peculiar scene, the beastly presence, violent techniques and ferocious howl made everyone stop in their tracks.
Although they quickly regained their composure.
”Does this person not know pain?”
”Pain? If I am not wrong, he is the one people termed as a monster, the number one prodigy in the Extreme Combat Empire. However, I heard that this guy has a peculiar character and is difficult to get along with.”
”That's normal. Who would be friends with a monster like this anyway?”
The Heavenly Dao Pavilion disciples shuddered as they discussed the issue. Even though they have all heard about the terrifying strength of the monster in the Extreme Combat Empire, it was still shocking for them to see such raw brute strength with their own eyes.
Yan Qing acted as though he did not hear those words. Not a hint of pain could be seen from his face. It was as though the thorns on the vines and the blood dripping from the multiple wounds on his body meant nothing to him at all.
Roar! He bellowed.
All the thorn vines were torn apart. This was pure brute strength, using his raw power and body weight to annihilate the thorn vines in his embrace.
Nangong Hao stopped in his tracks. He was around an inch away from Yan Qing's body as his white robe fluttered amidst the shockwaves from the collision of the Fifth Elder's and Fang Zhengzhi's attack.
He cast his glance at Yan Qing.
At the same time, Yan Qing cast his glance on Nangong Hao. The emerald robe he wore had already been torn and stained with blood. However, he had a calm expression, as though the sword in front of him posed no threat.
Boom! Fang Zhengzhi and the Fifth Elder was finally separated from one another.
A murderous intent filled the atmosphere and a purple light rose to the horizon.
Fang Zhengzhi took five steps back as he looked forward with a deathly cold stare.
The Fifth Elder also dodged to the side as he panted heavily. It could be either due to the aftershocks of the collision or simply the finishing pose of his attack.
Naturally, it could also be due to Yan Qing's sudden appearance which disrupted his original plan, making him extremely infuriated.
However, all of this did not matter…
Most importantly, the situation was now blowing out of proportions. More unexpected people were getting embroiled in this fight.
”Why did Yan Qing rush down to save Nangong Mu?”
”I don't know, he was saying something about he is mine! Who is this ”he”?”
”Is it the Fifth Elder, or Nangong Mu?”
The Heavenly Dao pavilion disciples stared at Yan Qing who was standing in the middle of the Heavenly Academic Altar and Nangong Mu, who was standing behind him. They could not fathom Yan Qing's sudden appearance.
Isn't this situation just a tad too chaotic?
It originally started with a simple fight between Fang Zhengzhi and the Fifth Elder. However, Yan Xiu, Nangong Mu and Qian Wu somehow got involved in it.
Following which, even Nangong Hao and Yan Qing joined in.
The Heavenly Dao Pavilion disciples stared apprehensively at the figures in the battle. They had no clue how this battle would end.
At that moment, Nangong Hao cast his gaze away from Yan Qing and turned to look at Nangong Mu.
”Have you decided?”
”Yes!” Nangong Mu nodded his head.
”Do you remember the mission that you were tasked to do?” Nangong Hao did not seem surprised at Nangong Mu's answer and spoke after a moment of silence.
”You alone will be enough,” Nangong Mu said calmly.
”Alright,” Nangong Hao seemed to have understood something. He then turned his body and walked back toward the crowd of onlookers as he said, ”Do what you like.”
Nangong Mu stopped talking. He stared at Nangong Hao's back view as he clenched his fist tightly. A blue and green light appeared in each of his eyes.
”Shall we?” Nangong Mu turned his gaze back at Yan Qing after watching Nangong Hao disappear into the crowd.
”Please,” Yan Qing nodded as he removed the emerald robe covering his body, revealing his tanned and defined muscles.
This scene was witnessed by all the Heavenly Dao Pavilion disciples. It struck fear into the deepest part of their hearts, as though they were alone in a field during a heavy storm.
”Why is Nangong Junior back?”
”What did he mean when he said battle? What battle?”
”Are you telling me they are going to fight? But isn't Yan Qing trying to save Nangong Mu? What is going on?”
They were all extremely confused.
However, Yan Qing and Nangong Mu clearly did not feel like explaining themselves. When Yan Qing nodded, Nangong Mu already started moving, he swung his sword mercilessly towards Yan Qing.
It was chaos.
The situation was obviously out of the control of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion disciples. Nangong Hao had retreated, though Fang Zhengzhi, Yan Xiu, Nangong Mu, Qian Wu and Yan Qing…
