Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 82: Mixed-Blood? Pure-Blood?

Jia Yuntian barely hesitated when he saw what happened to his comrade. In the split second, Jin Guanchao’s body was torn to shreds by Shang Xia.

In the same second, Yuan Zhen and Yun Yifei crossed one-third of the bridge.

When he realized that things were going out of control and yelled for Sang Youqi to return, the latter went crazy trying to kill Shang Xia.

Who would have thought that even though the kid was at the Martial Extremity Realm, he would have a ton of annoying skills? With Shang Xi’s talisman to complement it, he managed to gain an advantage over Sang Youqi.

In the blink of an eye, Sang Youqi was about to lose his life too!

As someone at the small completion stage of the Martial Intent Realm, Sang Youqi hadn’t even had the chance to exchange blows with Yun Yifei who was at the large completion stage of the Martial Intent Realm, much less Yuan Zhen who was at the grand completion stage!

The two Martial Intent Realm cultivators on Shang Xia’s side ignored Sang Youqi who fell face-first onto the bridge and they rushed towards Jia Yuntian.

As they shot past him, Shang Xia felt his footing slip as Jia Yuntian’s scissors came crashing down on the final chain.

Knowing that there was no saving Sang Youqi now, Jia Yuntian turned his eye to the bridge.

The shaking didn’t affect Yuan Zhen and Yun Yifei as they continued on their way.

However fast he moved, Jia Yuntian saw that he couldn’t swing his scissors a second time. He glared at Shang Xia before retreating.

“Rumble…” Shang Xia saw Sang Youqi’s body rolling off the bridge due to the shaking Jia Yuntian caused.

“Cough, cough, cough…” Shang Xia stopped where he was as Yuan Zilu appeared beside him.

“Instructor Yuan…” Shang Xia muttered before reaching out to support him.

Smacking Shang Xia’s hand away, Yuan Zilu sighed, “I’m still fit enough to walk.”

Waving his sleeves in apparent anger, Yuan Zilu growled, “You’re messing about! Cough… Cough… Luckily, this didn’t end badly!”

He looked at Shang Xia as he made his way to the other side. “How did you find out?”

“What?” Shang Xia scratched his head in embarrassment, “It was a fluke… Now that I think about it, I was a little too rash.”

Yuan Zilu snorted coldly in response, “It’s good that you know your mistakes. Don’t do something stupid like this in the future!”

Shang Xia bowed in embarrassment, “Thank you for your guidance!”

“Why are you still here? Hurry up and follow me. Are you enjoying the view here or something?” Yuan Zilu’s voice rang in his ear.

As a grin slowly appeared on his face, Shang Xia ran after the man.

By that time, Yuan Zhen and Yun Yifei had already arrived on the other side of the bridge.

As Yuan Zilu’s body trembled unsteadily, he muttered, “Jia Yuntian wouldn’t stay here unless he had a way of escaping. Think… What is his plan?”

Shang Xia thought for a moment before grunting, “Maybe he has someone waiting for him!”

Yuan Zilu nodded, but his expression quickly changed.

The protection formation turned even weaker, and the members of the Four Spiritual Peak discovered its weakness.

A black figure tore through the space between the two peaks and the shockwave caused the protection barrier to tremble uncontrollably.

“What is that?!” Shang Xia gasped.

“Hurry! To the Kaiyuan Peak!” Yuan Zilu exclaimed as the two of them ran over.

In several breaths of time, the black figure reappeared.

This time, Shang Xia caught sight of it. The black figure had a pair of massive wings and it flew really quickly. It shot towards the weakness of the formation!

“Fourth Order Primary Realm! Another one!”

Without Yuan Zilu’s reminder, Shang Xia also discovered the strength of the black figure.

A solemn expression appeared on Yuan Zilu’s face. “You best leave this area right now. Return to the main peak. You are no longer needed here…”

Before Shang Xia could ask anything, Yuan Zilu’s figure trembled and he disappeared.

Yuan Zhen and Yun Yifei were still chasing after Jia Yuntian, and the energy fluctuations suddenly stopped. It seemed as though they managed to force him into a corner.

As a Martial Intent Realm cultivator at the third layer, Jia Yuntian was no weakling. His combat ability was comparable to Yuan Zhen, and the pair of scissors in his hand was a high-grade weapon. He was able to hold his own even against the two of them.

Recalling Yuan Zilu and Shang Xia’s conversation behind them, the two of them thought of a possibility. Did Jia Yuntian bait them over to wait for the reinforcements from the Four Spiritual Peak?

Shang Xia might have made the guess, but he wasn’t able to watch the battle.

He was able to do something when up against Sang Youqi who had barely stepped into the Martial Intent Realm, but he would be like a helpless chicken against monsters like Jia Yuntian.

As for Yuan Zilu, Shang Xia could tell that he went to control the protection formation on the Kaiyuan Peak.

The black figure appeared once again and his wings formed an ‘X’ as it tore through the protection formation!

The figure seemed to be a little impatient as it rammed straight towards the opening between the Kaiyuan Peak and the Qiling Peak.

The shockwave that came with it caused the surroundings to be torn to shreds.

When the figure stopped, the bridges shook violently. The wooden planks that formed a base for the bridge exploded into tiny little shards and the chains were the only thing left of the bridge.

The storm ripped through both peaks and threatened to form a separate space that belonged solely to the black figure. No matter what structure existed on the two peaks, they turned to dust in the face of such a violent show of strength.

Finally, Shang Xia saw the face belonging to the black figure.

The man had an unnaturally long nose and his eyes were long and narrow. They painted a ruthless and conniving look on his face, but he had a terrifying aura around him.

He gave off a familiar feeling and Shang Xia instantly thought of the Wind Swallow Race!

That had to be a Martial Extermination Realm expert from the Wind Swallow Race!

Shang Xia’s expression sank and his face twisted together.

Previously, they came to a deal. Yan Su’er would restrict the number of experts she sent over and she would remain back in her territory. Who would have thought that she would send another expert at the Martial Extermination Realm over?!

Moreover, this person made such a huge scene the moment he appeared!

What the hell!

Shang Xia might be reluctant to accept the fact, but it was laid bare for him to see. At his level, he wasn’t qualified to question their actions.

The Martial Extermination Realm cultivator of the Wind Swallow Race tore another hole through the protection formation the moment he appeared. He seemed extremely content with his actions and he roared with laughter, “I am Yan Que of the Wind Swallow Race! Hahaha! Disciples of the Four Spiritual Peak, charge! Today, we’ll lay claim on these seven mountains!”

Amidst the cheers of the disciples he led, Shang Xi’s voice rang through the sky. “Hah! The pure blooded members of the Wind Swallow Race have the surname ‘Yan’. The mix-blood is bestowed upon the surname ‘Que’. Are you a pureblood member or a mixed-blood member of your race? Perhaps…”
