Chapter 1604 - Heaven Gaze Realms Fight
The other elders tried to step in and stop Zhong Yang, but they moved a beat too late. The agony of losing his son had already driven him into a frenzy.
Liu Wuxie had achieved unity with heaven and earth. That meant he didn't need to fear his body collapsing. Even if his body turned to dust, he could restore it as long as his heavenly dao wasn't completely severed.
Meng Hong lunged forward to shield Liu Wuxie.
With a loud rumble, the blast sent Liu Wuxie and Meng Hong flying, both drenched in blood. Meng Hong stood in front and took the brunt of the impact, his internal organs rupturing as his blood painted the sky red.
Fortunately, the other elders reacted in time and dulled part of the force. Otherwise, someone at the pinnacle of the Void Realm could have killed both Meng Hong and Meng An effortlessly.
Another thunderous rumble followed as Meng Hong and Liu Wuxie slammed into the ground, their fates uncertain. Liu Wuxie circulated the Desolate Devouring Art and coughed up a mouthful of blood. Even if he felt fine, he still had to pretend to be injured.
"Zhong Yang, you're in trouble now. Niu Yichang just took in Meng An as his disciple, and he'll surely treat Meng An as a treasure. If you kill him, Niu Yichang won't let it go," the elders who rushed over said, already certain Zhong Yang had stepped into disaster.
After all, Niu Yichang's damaged dantian had made his temper grow violent recently. He flared at the slightest displeasure. He had just taken in a precious disciple and treated the boy like his own son, so how could he possibly stay calm if Zhong Yang injured Meng An?
"It's that brat who killed my son first, and I'm only avenging the death of my child!" Zhong Yang shouted. Even if fear flickered in him, he refused to back down after his son's death.
"They signed the life-and-death waiver, and even the palace lord has no right to interfere. As an elder, it's outrageous for you to kill a disciple in the sect!" more elders argued as they arrived, pressuring Zhong Yang.
"What's there to fear about? Do you think Niu Yichang will lay a hand on me? My master isn't someone to be trifled with either," Zhong Yang sneered. He didn't even bother to look at Meng Hong and Meng An, leaving them to die like that.
The commotion had long reached Niu Yichang, and he nearly snapped when he heard his disciple had been "killed" by Zhong Yang. If the palace lord hadn't warned him not to erupt, lest the cracks in his dantian split open again, his rage would have exploded on the spot.
