Chapter 374: Back to the Battlefield Between the Two Worlds!

With his cultivation base at the Martial Intent Realm, Zhao Fengchun wasn’t exactly a weakling. After all, anyone who could hold their ground against cultivators of the Azure Spiritual World was definitely an expert in their own right.

However, all of them seemed to be as weak as ants when Shang Xia appeared. With a single arrow, he killed the cultivator from the Azure Spiritual World.

There was a certain part of his successful kill that could be attributed to his sneak attack as the cultivator from the Azure Spiritual World was focused on fighting Zhao Fengchun. However, that highlighted another problem. Neither of them discovered Shang Xia’s presence even though he got in range to attack them!

Shang Xia’s successful impersonation of a Martial Extermination Realm expert also had something to do with it.

After killing the man, Shang Xia quickly went to look for other targets. He needed to sweep away the obstacles around the spatial tunnel for the Tongyou Institution to gain control of the area.

The battlefield between the Tongyou Institution and those from the Azure Spiritual World had already expanded to cover hundreds of miles from the exit of the spatial tunnel.

When the Martial Extermination Realm experts entered earlier, they launched a ferocious assault on those from the Azure Spiritual World. By this time, they entered deep into the battlefield between the two worlds. As Martial Extermination Realm experts, they could travel several miles in the blink of an eye. It made sense for them to push deep into the battlefield between the two worlds quickly.

Due to the shockwaves of the battle between the Martial Extermination Realm experts, the cultivators of the Azure Spiritual World didn’t gather close to the exit of the spatial tunnel. They remained scattered hundreds of miles away and gathered after the Martial Extermination Realm experts left. They had to remain scattered as they were afraid that the Martial Extermination Experts of the Tongyou Institution wouldn’t play by the rules and target them if they were in a huge group.

Unfortunately for them, by the time they closed the distance to the exit of the spatial tunnel, the Martial Intent Realm experts of the institution arrived.

“Hah… Luckily they didn’t lay down any formations or traps around. Otherwise, we’re going to have a hard time establishing ourselves in the battlefield between the two worlds.” Shang Xia sighed inwardly. However, he soon realized that it was not impossible for those from the Azure Spiritual World to lay down traps for them.

Even though the battlefield between the two worlds would experience frequent shifts and one wouldn’t be able to tell where they were exactly in the battlefield between the two worlds, Shang Xia could tell that it wasn’t where he entered for the first time.

It was a weird feeling that wasn’t baselessly supported by his instincts. With his much higher cultivation base, he was able to touch on the principles of space and discover that he was in a different region compared to before.

Regardless, it wasn’t time to think about all of that now. After helping Zhao Fengchun kill his opponent, Shang Xia’s original plan was to go around like a firefighter and do the same, slowly increasing the advantage the cultivators of the institution had.

However, the members of the Azure Spiritual World clearly wouldn’t allow him to do as he wished. They sent someone out to stop him. When he was hundreds of feet away from another group of cultivators from the Azure Spiritual World cries of beasts could be heard as they started rushing towards Shang Xia.

“Grand completion stage of the Martial Intent Realm?” Shang Xia stared in that direction in shock. Of course, he didn’t feel the slightest amount of fear. He was merely surprised by their presence.

He could see that there was an expert eyeing him coldly in the distance, but in Shang Xia’s eyes, the other party was nothing more than a circus clown.

He didn’t hide his disdain either. The cultivator from the Azure Spiritual World could tell that Shang Xia was looking down on him and a sense of humiliation washed over him. Anger filled his heart as he released a heaven-shaking roar.

His aura increased slightly as he seemed to ignite his bloodline. The phantom of a giant creature appeared behind him as it leaped at Shang Xia.

Not fazed by the appearance of the creature, Shang Xia continued in the same direction and the distance between them quickly shrank to 50 feet.

.

The cultivator from the Azure Spiritual World leaped into the air and sent his fists flying in Shang Xia’s direction. The space seemed to tremble and it seemed as though it was about to crumble under the might of his punch.

Shang Xia felt an immense pressure descending on him as his opponent approached.

Regardless, his expression didn’t change as he watched the incoming attack. With his palm facing inwards, he chopped down casually as reddish-gold bolts of lightning emerged from his fingertips. They slammed heavily into the creature that was lunging at him and due to the impact, Shang Xia frowned slightly before taking a step back.

The cultivator of the Azure Spiritual World burst into laughter before increasing his speed once again to advance ten feet closer to Shang Xia.

Sighing softly, Shang Xia seemed to blame himself for being overconfident.

After all, the opponent was at the same cultivation level as himself. They were both in the grand completion stage of the Martial Intent Realm and he was too naive to think that his first martial intent could stop the other side’s all-out attack.

By the time he realized that his opponent had entered his attacking range, he saw a giant palm condensing in the sky before it started to descend on him.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Shang Xia muttered, “Are you from the Changbai Holy Land?”

“Hehe, it’s too late for you to realize that now!” Shang Xia’s opponent snorted before revealing a haughty look. He didn’t seem surprised that Shang Xia managed to uncover his identity, but he seemed extremely confident of killing Shang Xia now that they were so close to each other.

“Well… It’s not really too late.” Shang Xia muttered as the Scarlet Star Spear appeared in his hand. He stabbed it straight towards his opponent.

The massive palm that was created from heaven and earth qi tore apart like paper. Before the cultivator from the Azure Spiritual World could react, a spear that was made from heaven and earth qi appeared right in front of him.

That was Shang Xia’s fourth move, Void Evasion!

“What the hell is that spear technique?!” The cultivator from the Changbai Holy Land yelled before retreating hastily. He released 12 palm strikes in a row before finally shattering the spear. He was forced back from the impact, and his fingers were painted a bloody red.

“Who are you?! What freakish spear art is this?!” The cultivator from the Changbai Holy Land stared at Shang Xia in fright.

As a direct disciple from the Changbai Holy Land, his cultivation had reached the grand completion stage of the Martial Intent Realm. No matter what, he could be considered to be an apex existence in the Martial Intent Realm. It made no sense for him to be beaten so badly!

Shang Xia’s gaze turned a little serious after he saw how his opponent stopped his Void Evasion Spear.

However, he didn’t hesitate as the Scarlet Star Spear trembled in his hands. It flew out even quicker this time as he unleashed his seventh move, Celestial Disruption!

A sea of starlight appeared before the eyes of the cultivator from the Changbai Holy Land and several streaks of light started to speed towards him.

The pressure of a thousand mountains came crashing down on him and he discovered that there was no way for him to evade!

Helpless, he gave his loudest roar before mustering all his inner qi to create another passive palm with the heaven and earth qi around him.

The palm was called the Heaven Supporting Divine Palm and it was his third martial intent. It seemed to contain tyrannical might as it tried swatting the streaks of starlight flying his way.

Blocking all the starlight that came from Shang Xia’s Celestial Disruption, it managed to neutralize his seventh move.

“Shang Clan Spear?! Who the hell is Shang Bo to you?!” It seemed as though the cultivator from the Changbai Holy Land was pretty familiar with the powerhouses from the Tongyou Institution.

He couldn’t confirm if Shang Xia was using the Shang Clan Spear Art earlier, but now that Shang Xia had unleashed Celestial Disruption, he found the moves familiar.

Ignoring the man, Shang Xia released another move.

This time, he unleashed his eighth move, Startling Moon!

“Preposterous! Do you think I’m going to let you do as you wish?” The cultivator from the Changbai Holy Land roared after noticing that Shang Xia had ignored him. He gathered his energy to send out another Heaven Supporting Divine Palm!
