Chapter 987 - Five Elemental Suppression Steles

Jealousy burned in everyone. Since entering the sacred ground, Liu Wuxie had repeatedly acquired rare treasures, causing even the cultivators who didn't hold grudges against him to harbor hostility toward him.

When Liu Wuxie unleashed the Great Dragon Aspect Art, all the dao techniques in the surroundings were crushed. The vines that bound Liu Wuxie exploded into countless fragments of law.

Liang Yi's expression changed; he hadn't expected Liu Wuxie's combat strength to be so terrifying. Even a siege by three Earth Profound Realm cultivators couldn't harm him.

The Heaven-Curtaining Red Luan pressed in from all sides, and they had to end the battle soon, or this world would bury them with it.

After shattering the incoming dao techniques head-on, Liu Wuxie unleashed his ice-attribute energy, sending glaciers crashing down upon the three Earth Profound Realm cultivators. Ever since unlocking the second gate in his soul sea, his dao techniques had become comparable to those of the Earth Profound Realm.

"Damn it!" Mu Yuanyi roared in frustration.

With the Heaven-Curtaining Red Luan approaching, the red veil trapped them, preventing any retreat. But this gave Liu Wuxie time to respond.

"Liu Wuxie will become a huge threat if he doesn't die today!"

Though many people were jealous of Liu Wuxie, his monstrous talent was undeniable.

"So what if he's a monstrous genius? He'll still die here," said the White Dragon Peak disciples, filled with hatred for Liu Wuxie. They had long desired to watch him die, especially upon learning that he had acquired numerous treasures.

"Don't be so sure about that. Liu Wuxie possesses great fortune, and I've heard he repaired the profound talisman, which means he saved the entire True Martial Continent. Someone like him won't die easily."

Only the upper echelons of the major factions knew he had repaired the profound talisman, and the others were shocked when they heard about it.

The opinions diverged between the crowd—some prayed for Liu Wuxie's death, while others rooted for his survival.

When the ice glaciers descended, Mu Yuanyi's group of three to retreated, unable to withstand the crushing power. This was under the condition that Liu Wuxie was only at the first-level Spirit Profound Realm.

They couldn't imagine how powerful he would become if he were at the higher levels of the Spirit Profound Realm. Even someone at the pinnacle of the Earth Profound Realm would fail to suppress him.

Liang Yi drew a circle, conjuring a massive millstone that crushed the oncoming glaciers.

Though Liu Wuxie's dao technique rivaled the Earth Profound Realm, it wasn't enough to kill the trio due to the difference in their cultivation. Though equally strong, neither side could land a decisive blow.

If it were a one-on-one battle, Liu Wuxie might stand a chance. But his odds were slim, three against one.

"Liu Wuxie, give up! Don't even bother resisting! You will die today!" Liang Yi's voice turned cold as he unleashed various bizarre dao techniques.

Five years ago, he had obtained a mysterious dao technique in this world and spent the past five years studying to grasp a sliver of it.

"Overlord Disaster Fist!" Liang Yi roared and unleashed countless ominous auras.

The True Martial Continent had never birthed such a dao technique, and Liu Wuxie had never seen it before. He guessed that it likely originated from this world, which Liang Yi had discovered and mastered over time.

Liang Yi unleashed a terrifying burst of fist intent that shattered space, accelerating the Heaven-Curtaining Red Luan's approach.

Liu Wuxie frowned as he sensed danger from this dao technique.

"Five elemental suppression steles, rise!" Liu Wuxie knew the Great Dragon Aspect Art wasn't suitable for direct clashes with such a fist technique. He was left with no choice but to summon the five suppression steles.

This was the first time he had summoned them after refining them. He had extracted five elemental laws from them to execute the Great Five Elemental Palm in the past.

However, it was different this time. The five suppression steles hovered in the air and merged into one.

The moment they merged, the sky turned dark, and the earth trembled. The entire world seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

"What terrifying power... Liu Wuxie actually forged the five elemental suppression steles?!" No one could describe what they were feeling at this moment.

"No wonder he could comprehend that five elemental dao technique! So he forged the five elemental suppression steles!"

Everyone finally realized why Liu Wuxie's Great Five Elemental Palm was so powerful. So, it was greatly related to the five suppression steles.

Liang Yi's expression changed, and a vicious light flashed in his eyes. He bit his tongue and spat out a drop of blood essence. He had gone as far as igniting his blood essence, risking damage to his foundation, to kill Liu Wuxie.

With the five suppression steles unleashed, Liu Wuxie now possessed the power to kill cultivators at the Earth Profound Realm, and Liang Yi didn't have a choice.

Mu Yuanyi and Mi Ze's attacks couldn't reach Liu Wuxie before the five suppression steles crushed them.

In Liu Wuxie's hands, dao techniques carried far greater force.

Although Liang Yi's dao technique was formidable, his divine force couldn't match Liu Wuxie's.

When the five elemental suppression steles descended, Liang Yi's attack shattered completely, creting a terrifying scene. The devastation might have been far worse if not for the Heaven-Curtaining Red Luan's looming presence.

"That's impossible! How can your dao technique be so powerful?!" Liang Yi roared.

He couldn't believe that the Overlord Disaster Fist he had spent five years comprehending was crushed in a single blow. Mu Yuanyi and Mi Ze's attacks had fared no better, and this was proof of the overwhelming power Liu Wuxie commanded after summoning the five elemental suppression steles.

The merged suppression stele continued to descend, forcing the trio to retreat under the immense pressure.

This shocked the crowd, and ninety-nine percent of them had never witnessed an Earth Profound Realm cultivator in action. Today, they had witnessed how a Spirit Profound Realm cultivator could stand against Earth Profound Realm experts.

It had shattered their comprehension, and they couldn't believe how someone's dao technique could be so powerful.

The fight had ended up in a stalemate. It was now impossible for the two parties to kill each other.

Qiao Bian and Liang Yi's battle resumed, and they were locked in a stalemate. It might take days before a victor emerged between them.

On the other hand, Han Feizi's fight with Yuan Zilong had also reached a climax.

Judging from the current situation, Liu Wuxie had held his ground well. But just when he was focused on controlling the merged suppression stele, a spatial fluctuation appeared, and a powerful sword aura erupted from the shadows, targeting Liu Wuxie from behind.

"An assassin!" Liu Wuxie instantly knew the attack was from another assassin of the Black Plume Pavilion, who had been lurking nearby, waiting to launch a sneak attack on him.

This strike was ruthless and perfectly timed, making it impossible for Liu Wuxie to dodge.

The Black Plume Pavilion's assassins had refined their assassination skills to the limit and had never failed before.

The attack was unleashed when Liu Wuxie had lowered his guard.

Gasps spread through the crowd—no one had anticipated an ambush at such a moment. The situation worsened as Qiao Bian and Han Feizi became too entangled with their opponents.

Han Feizi and the others clenched their teeth in helpless fury, unable to intervene. They could only watch as they couldn't get close to the battlefield.

"Did you think that I didn't notice you?" Liu Wuxie's indifferent voice echoed.

Ruan Ying had already warned him that an assassin was lurking nearby when he was underground. Though she didn't know who it was, Liu Wuxie had been on guard ever since.

"Spatial Dao Art!" Liu Wuxie executed the spatial art to change the trajectory of space.

Until now, Liu Wuxie had never revealed the full potential of Spatial Dao Art.

Liu Wuxie solidified the surrounding space into a prison that halted the incoming attack midair.

"Get lost!"

Liu Wuxie had no time to deal with the assassin—besides, he had no way of killing an Earth Profound Realm cultivator anyway.

If anyone else had been in Liu Wuxie's position, the attack would have killed them by now.

A terrifying gale swept out and sent the assassin flying away, shredding his mask into pieces.

"Wang Qi! He's a prodigy from the Wang Clan!" an exclamation erupted from the surroundings after recognizing the assassin's identity.

Everyone was baffled.

"What's going on? Why would a Wang Clan prodigy become an assassin for the Black Plume Pavilion? It makes no sense!"

The public knew that the Black Plume Pavilion only raised orphans with no background, turning them into assassins, such as Ruan Ying and Lu Liang, who were given false identities.

However, Wang Qi was a prodigy from the Wang Clan, and it made no sense that he was an assassin of the Black Plume Pavilion. There was only one explanation: someone among the Wang Clan's upper echelons had aligned with the Black Plume Pavilion.

Liu Wuxie understood everything in an instant. Wang Qi had been trained in the art of assassination since childhood, and it was likely that even Wang Yuanhou was unaware of it.

Wang Qi's expression twisted after his identity was exposed. The Wang Clan would cast him out, forcing him to wear a mask for the rest of his life.

The Black Plume Pavilion remained too mysterious, and no one wanted to get involved.

"Brother Wang, let's kill him together!" Liang Yi rejoiced.

With another Earth Profound Realm expert on their side, their chances of killing Liu Wuxie rose dramatically.

Wang Qi nodded. He knew there was no turning back, and the four experts surrounded their target.

By now, Liu Wuxie had used nearly all of his trump cards, and even the merged suppression stele couldn't finish his enemies off.

Wang Qi raised his sword and locked the sword aura on Liu Wuxie's vital points.

"It's King's Sword! What domineering aura!"

Liu Wuxie had witnessed the King's Sword of the Wang Clan before. Wang Qi wielded its kingly power, but his identity still made him unworthy of such a weapon.

Liang Yi executed the Overlord Disaster Fist once more. Mu Yuanyi's vines surged toward Liu Wuxie, and Mi Ze's dao technique was extremely troublesome despite being slightly weaker than the other three.

The four cultivators attacked in unison, sealing off every escape route. Survival seemed impossible.
