Under the gaze of everyone, Heavenly King Mu Bai appeared beside his daughters and took out several healing pills.
"A perfected Heavenly King is indeed extraordinarily powerful." Suddenly a voice sounded.
The voice came suddenly, drawing all eyes toward a young man riding a saint beast. The massive creature descended near the dao portal, its presence alone causing a commotion.
Mu Yan and Mu Yun's expressions instantly turned ugly.
"Chu Yang!"
Most of the crowd recognized the Saint Child of the Blade Wing Sect from the Middle Territory. Behind him stood the influence of a great behemoth.
Chu Yang glanced at Old King Zhu and smiled. "Thank you, Senior, for keeping him here."
"I never intended to delay him," Old King Zhu replied flatly.
Chu Yang chuckled. "Even so, I was able to arrive in time and that is enough." His gaze then fell on Mu Yan. "Mu Yan, I told you before; whether outside this ruin or within it, you cannot escape me. You sisters are truly ruthless, abandoning that old man so directly."
Hearing Chu Yang's words, hatred flashed across both sister's face.
"Surrender to me obediently and i will let your father and the other go unharmed."
At this moment Heavenly King Mu Bai's bloody figure stood up, his injuries yet to be healed.
"You want to keep us here? With just you?" Mu Bai spoke, his voice was disdainful.
Chu Yang shook his head, replying. "Of course not, you are a perfected Heavenly King, and i am just an initial stage saint and no match for you. So, i prepared a present for you."
An invisible pressure suddenly swept over the mountain, making it hard for anyone to breathe. Figures descended one after another, each radiating a terrifying aura.
"Great saint…!"
"Five great saint…!" Gasps rippled through the crowd.
A great saint is someone who crossed the threshold of late stage saint realm. Most people would choose to become a dao sovereign right after becoming late stage saint because certain criteria needed to be fulfilled if one wants to become a great saint. It was extremely difficult to become a great saint, only handful of geniuses could achieve it.
As a first rate sect of the Middle Territory, the Blade Wing Sect naturally had the resources to groom multiple Great Saints.
Their combined aura wreaked havoc across the area, forcing the crowd to retreat further from the dao portal. They knew another terrible battle was about to erupt.
"Elders, thank you for coming." Chu Yang clasped his fist and saluted.
A middle aged man among the five smiled. "Little Yang asked for a favor. How could we old bones refuse? This is but a small matter."
"Indeed. Little Yang, rest assured, today, this girl will not escape," another elder said with a sinister grin.
No one among the spectators dared to speak.
Few old man from scattering wind sect stepped forward and bowed their heads with flattering smiles. "Your excellencies, let this trivial matter be handled by us."
"No need, you lot aren't his match." One of the great saint spoke indifferently.
The elders' eyelids twitched. In the end, they stepped back silently.
"Our scattering wind sect shall withdraw from this battle." Old king Zhu ordered emotionlessly.
The elders hesitated, after a moment accepted the order with reluctance. They wanted to climb up the thigh of the saints but were refused. Even if they want to stay and clean up the scraps, they can't. Because the old King Zhu ordered for withdrawal. He was an ancestor level figure within the sect and was powerful. No one can deny his authority in the scattering wind sect.
Heavenly King Mu Bai watched everything coldly. Killing intent flashed deep within his pupil.
The Heavenly Kings of the Blade Wing Sect surrounded the mountain from all directions, forming a killing net meant for Mu Bai.
Under the siege of countless heavenly kings and saint figures, Mu Bai stepped forward boldly. His bloodied body represented heroism and chivalry. "Come! I will kill as many as i can." His deep voice reverberated across the mountain.
Mu Yun and Mu Yan's eyes turned moist. They knew this would be a battle of life and death.
Mu Yan wiped her tears and stepped to her father's side. "The enemy is at our doorstep. As your daughter, how could I retreat? If I must die, I will die in battle and take pride in it." Her voice was cold and resolute.
Spectators clamoured! "Such courage is worthy of admiration…"
"That's the daughter of the heavenly king of our eastern territory…" Some people murmured, there was a trace of pride and admiration in their eyes but that was all. No one dared to help them.
"Sister…." Mu Yun felt desperate, her heart was in pain. She regretted not asking Li Shenrong for help.
Mu Bai glanced at his eldest daughter and shook his head with a smile, a rare moment of gentleness flashed on his face.
"Alright, today, we father and daughter shall kill the enemies and bath in their blood." He laughed boisterously. His laughter angered the heavenly kings from blade wing sect.
The battle erupted. Heaven and earth shook, the skies darkened, and the thick stench of blood filled the air.
Mu Yan was quickly captured, her cultivation was not high, and under the joint assault of so many Heavenly Kings, she was like a fish caught in a net.
Mu Bai was also suppressed, he tried to save her but suffered grievous injuries. Battling with Old king Zhu left him exhausted, now he was being besieged by so many powerful figures, but even so, the sharpness in his sword and heart didn't diminish in the slightest.
A boom rang out, a Heavenly King's head exploded like a watermelon.
Sword light flashed, tearing another Heavenly King into pieces. Blood rained from the sky, staining the soil crimson.
"Go!" Mu Bai shouted at Mu Yun right after creating an opening for her to run away.
"Father, don't worry, i will bring help…" Mu Yun fled with tears streaming down her face, her eyes swollen and red.
"Don't come back…" Mu bai whispered which obviously reached Mu Yun's ears. Her body shivered but she didn't turn back, even ran more frantically.
Some attempted to chase her, but Chu Yang raised his hand to stop them.
