Chapter 451: Spatial Transference
Boom! Boom!
Violent energy waves exploded across the sky, filling the air with a thick, iron scent of blood. The atmosphere was soaked in killing intent, and the sky itself seemed tinged with a shade of dark red.
Within the once-opulent Yuwen Family estate, chaos reigned as two powerful forces clashed. Neither side exchanged words; instead, each fighter activated their energy and martial techniques, charging forward with bloodshot eyes as they attacked the enemies in front of them. It was a true bloodbath, a battle of life and death.
Thud!
Thick black energy surged up in the middle of the battleground, where Qing Tan stood wielding a massive black scythe. The dark energy seemed to freeze the very air around her. Before her stood a middle-aged man, sneering as he assessed her. This man was a captain of the Yuwen family's guard, his strength at the level of Greater Essence Realm, and he had already wounded over a dozen of the Enforcer Guards in mere minutes.
"So, you're a captain of the Enforcer Army? Let's see if you're up to it."
The man's eyes locked on Qing Tan's mask, where a green sword glinted, marking her rank. Though he was wary, he charged toward her with grim determination.
Watching the ferocious opponent hurtling toward her, Qing Tan's usually lively face grew cold and stern. Holding her massive black scythe, she gathered her energy until a deadly aura enveloped her form.
Thud!
Her figure shot forward like a shadow, and her scythe swung down with icy precision. A chilling black light followed the blade, ripping through the air toward the man.
Swoosh!
With a single swing of her scythe, the air in front of her seemed to split apart. In an instant, the blade flashed above the man's head, as though Qing Tan's attack had cut through space itself.
"Clang!"
Quick to react, the man raised his sword to intercept, but despite his block, blood still oozed from a wound on his head. The swing had cut through part of his scalp, and blood ran down his face.
"Curse it… There's something strange about her!" he cursed, his face pale with shock. Despite her seemingly lower Essence Realm, Qing Tan's aura and black scythe possessed a deadly power.
Qing Tan glanced at him without a word and swung her scythe once more, releasing another arc of fierce energy. The man's face turned grim as he steadied himself, ready to meet her attack with his full strength.
Nearby, Lin Langtian watched Qing Tan overpower the Greater Essence Realm fighter and smiled. Qing Tan's growth in the Enforcer Army had indeed been remarkable, thanks to her unique Demon Scourge Constitution, which allowed her to improve at an astounding pace.
Boom! Boom!
The estate filled with the sounds of carnage. Everywhere, fighters with bloodshot eyes clashed. Bodies flew through the air, some coughing blood, others falling unconscious in the chaos of battle.
Both sides fought without restraint—this wasn't a sparring match but a deadly struggle between two forces.
From a tower on the outskirts, other powers in Yuwen City looked on in shock as the intense battle unfolded.
"The Seventh Regiment of the Enforcer Army… Looks like the Dark Hall is truly intent on destroying the Yuwen family this time. Do you think they'll make it?"
"Are you kidding? No one defies the Dark Hall in the Northern Profound Region. After this, I'd wager there won't be a Yuwen family left to speak of."
"Look! The Black Mountain General and the Yuwen family patriarch are fighting…"
…
As the onlookers whispered in awe, high in the sky, a clash was about to begin. Yuwen Hao, his face solemn, shot forward, sending a powerful wave of yellow energy toward Jiang Shan.
"Fool!" Jiang Shan's voice thundered as he clenched his fists, gathering black energy until it surrounded his hands. With a single punch, he sent a massive, dark fist straight through Yuwen Hao's attack, shattering it instantly.
"If you're going to fight, do it properly. These weak tactics mean nothing to me."
Gritting his teeth, Yuwen Hao summoned a long golden spear, radiating an intense aura—it was a true Primordial Treasure of rare quality.
The Enforcer Army's regiment commanders were known as some of the most ruthless figures in the Northern Profound Region. Jiang Shan, the Black Mountain General, had slain dozens of Essence Realm fighters himself. Knowing his opponent's deadly reputation, Yuwen Hao abandoned all restraint and channeled his full power.
Holding the golden spear firmly, he summoned his energy, golden light blazing like a sun over the battlefield.
"Golden Sun Strike!"
Yellow energy gathered at the tip of his spear, forming a massive sun at least a hundred feet wide. Its edges gleamed, brimming with a terrifying, destructive power. Yuwen Hao was done with testing the waters. Against an opponent like Jiang Shan, holding back would be pointless.
"Golden Sun Slash!"
Yuwen Hao swung his spear, and the golden orb of light shot forward like lightning, cleaving through the air toward Jiang Shan.
"Haha! Now we're talking." Jiang Shan laughed as he took a step forward, black energy pouring from his body. His eyes darkened, and his power condensed around him.
"Dark Mountain Fist!"
Under the cloak of thick black energy, Jiang Shan's form morphed into a colossal mountain of shadow. With a single jab, he sent a beam of dark energy straight toward the golden orb.
The two attacks collided mid-air, and a shockwave of energy rippled outward, so intense that several high-ranking Essence Realm fighters were forced to retreat. The collision of power was so great that even seasoned fighters could only watch in awe.
This was no ordinary skirmish; it was a clash between titans, a battle that would be remembered.
The intense battle between two Death Profound Realm masters was a rare and astounding sight…
As the fierce energy clashed above like rumbling thunder, Lin Langtian wandered leisurely within the Yuwen family's estate below, his dark eyes flickering slightly. He was curious to know where exactly the Yuwen family had hidden the Stasis Divine Talisman...
Boom!
In the sky above, a yellow energy ribbon streaked through like a meteor, compressing and distorting the air in its wake. Within that flash of yellow energy, a figure cloaked in a yellow robe became visible.
"Golden Sun Multi-Slash!"
An icy, murderous shout echoed from within the energy ribbon, which then burst apart, transforming into a terrifying spear shadow that morphed into a blazing golden sun. This radiant sun spun with lightning speed, shooting straight toward a dark, imposing figure in the distance.
"Haha!"
The black figure looked up at the fierce assault and let out a triumphant laugh filled with uncontained arrogance and confidence.
"Dark Mountain Force, Collapsing Mountain Palm!"
A wave of black energy gathered and formed a massive, towering black palm. Dark, shadowy energy surrounded the palm, chilling the air until it felt frozen, even in the midst of the blazing sunlight.
The black and yellow energy trails streaked across the sky before crashing together, a brilliant spectacle taking over half the heavens. The massive city below trembled from the sheer impact of their clash.
Black and gold intertwined, a breathtaking display that drew countless onlookers into stunned silence. Their expressions were tense and awestruck as they witnessed the ferocity of the battle. Both combatants were powerful enough to be only a step away from the Reincarnation Realm.
Keen observers noticed that as the battle intensified, Jiang Shan only grew fiercer, his imposing momentum overpowering everything in his path. Though Yuwen Hao was formidable, it became clear that his attacks barely left a scratch on Jiang Shan.
"No wonder he's the regiment commander of the Enforcer Army... he's truly formidable…"
Many powerful onlookers couldn't help but shudder. Yuwen Hao's reputation was well-known throughout the Eastern Territory, but here he was, outmatched by the Dark Hall's Black Mountain General, one of the ten regiment commanders of the Enforcer Army.
As the Enforcer Army's military branch, the Dark Tribunal selected only the most battle-hardened fighters for the position of regiment commander. No ordinary fighter could compare. Yuwen Hao might be the patriarch of a powerful family, but he was no match for the battle skills and experience of a commander from the Enforcer Army, hardened by countless brutal encounters.
Moreover, the Eastern Division Hall Master Xu Lie was there as well, watching vigilantly for an opening to strike.
"Damn it! Then take this—one of my family's ultimate techniques!"
Yuwen Hao, fully aware of the desperate situation, looked grim. Suddenly, his face twisted with determination as he grasped the Golden Sun Spear tightly. Then he launched himself upward, shooting into the clouds with a frightening surge of energy.
"Yuwen's Solar Spear!"
Boom!
A deadly, piercing spear aura spread through the air, carrying a vicious killing intent that resounded like a roar across the battlefield. Countless heads turned upward to see a massive golden spear, roaring as it shot downward with destructive force, tearing the very sky as it aimed at Jiang Shan. The spear's momentum was unstoppable, as though ready to rend the heavens and the earth apart.
"Foolish!"
Jiang Shan's eyes glowed with a dark light. He sneered as a cold smile spread across his face, then took a steady step forward.
Boom!
A torrent of dark, inky energy erupted from Jiang Shan, spilling out like a black waterfall that seemed to dim the entire world. Shadows crept through the sky, enveloping the world in an oppressive darkness.
Boom! Boom!
The golden spear slashed downward, blazing like a meteor as it raced through the air, bringing with it a savage spear aura that caused the buildings below to tremble and crack.
Jiang Shan gazed up at the Golden Sun Spear, his eyes growing darker as he clenched his fist tightly, his voice ringing out with authority:
"Dark Mountain Manifestation!"
Swoosh!
A surge of black energy rose, filling the air with the sound of low thunder. The black light writhed and morphed, expanding until Jiang Shan's body transformed into a giant, mountainous figure, shrouded in dark energy that spread outward like massive tendrils. The towering shadow loomed like an ancient fortress, radiating a suffocating aura.
Boom!
The Dark Mountain took shape, sprouting two enormous stone arms. With a powerful swing, its massive fist slammed forward, gathering the dark, sinister energy into a singular, chilling point.
Boom!
The two mighty attacks collided in a colossal clash, filling the air with a deafening roar like thunder from the heavens. A terrifying shockwave exploded outward, causing structures below to buckle and collapse.
The blinding light of their attacks forced many of the onlookers to squint, yet they couldn't tear their eyes away, each gaze fixed tensely on the sky.
"Boom!"
Another deafening impact rang out, but this time the sound carried a distinct note of anguish. The crowd watched as a figure flew backward, the golden spear flung from his grasp, exposing a bruised and battered form dripping with blood—Yuwen Hao, utterly defeated.
"Defeated…"
The crowd whispered, even though they'd expected this outcome, unable to suppress their shock at the sight. The Enforcer Army's ten regiment commanders had truly earned their reputations.
"Cough, cough…" Yuwen Hao staggered, blood flowing freely down his face, his pallor ashen as he struggled to stay upright.
"You lost." From within the Dark Mountain, Jiang Shan's voice echoed, cold and detached.
"No wonder they call you the Black Mountain General... your power is indeed unmatched…" Yuwen Hao muttered in resignation, staring up at the towering shadow before him.
"You have two options: surrender and come with us to the Dark Tribunal, or face justice here and now." Jiang Shan's voice was firm.
"The Dark Tribunal…" Yuwen Hao's eyes flickered with a flash of fear. He looked up slowly, casting his gaze across the sky where a strange patch of yellow clouds was hovering. Odd ripples emanated from within the cloud.
"Hmm, he's not planning to fight Jiang Shan head-on," Lin Langtian murmured as he observed the scene closely. "He's setting something up…"
Boom!
As Lin Langtian mused, Yuwen Hao suddenly waved his hand, and the golden light wrapped around his son Yuwen Tuo and a few guards, drawing them toward the yellow cloud.
Buzz!
The moment they entered the cloud, its light began to fade, revealing a hidden, twisted formation of symbols.
"A spatial transference array?" Jiang Shan and Xu Lie's expressions darkened in alarm.
"Tuo, go! I'll operate the formation. There's no staying here in the Northern Profound Region. Go as far as you can and never look back!"
With a twisted, wild expression, Yuwen Hao manipulated the symbols with his hands, causing the array to spin at an increasingly rapid pace, filling the air with turbulent, chaotic energy.
