Chapter 629

"You beast, what grudge does my Song family have with you that you would target my Song family like this?"

The long sword roared, and while a thick sword beam was blasted out, Song Yushao questioned sharply.

This person must have a grudge against the Song family; otherwise, if he had taken a fancy to something in Yunqi Manor, with his cultivation, he could have just taken it directly. There was no need to release the Red Flame Tiger to slaughter the Song family disciples, and then hide in the shadows to sneak attack him.

It was just that after thinking it over, the Song family had never provoked such a master, nor could they have formed a grudge with an Elder of the Profound Heaven Sect.

The cultivation method the opponent practiced was clearly Li Huo Gong. Except for the Elders of the Profound Heaven Sect, no one could come into contact with Li Huo Gong, and such sharp blade techniques only existed in the Profound Heaven Sect.

He had a bad premonition in his heart: the Red Flame Tiger breaking its restraints was man-made, and Zhu Yanguo had likely already been plucked by this beast.

The crimson sword beam tore through the air, like a collapsing heavenly pillar, possessing the power to split heaven and earth. It was fierce and domineering, shaking away the sky-filling dust and revealing the figure hidden in the black cloth.

Xu Yang's eyes surged with sharp light. He didn't speak, only his Gang Yuan surged, and he raised his hand to blast out a giant blade beam as well.

"Boom!"

The next moment, the blade beam and sword beam, as thick as water barrels, collided. Amidst a deafening roar, both exploded together, and the violent energy formed a visible shockwave that swept across the sky and earth, tearing terrifying cracks into the ground.

Both of them were shaken, the veins on their arms bulging, feeling their Qi and blood churning like waves, their muscles and bones roaring in unison, and they couldn't help but retreat step by step.

"Not talking? Once I kill you, this old man will know who you are!"

Song Yushao's eyes shot out soul-stirring cold light, killing intent surging. He immediately stopped holding back, and sharp sword intent broke out from his body.

"Pfft!"

Invisible sword intent soared to the sky, and the power of heaven and earth from all directions was drawn by the sword intent, swarming over like a tide to form a transparent sword light.

Cang Lang Sword Art, Tide Rises!

The world seemed to tremble. Amidst a deafening roar, a wave appeared behind Song Yushao, the crashing waves striking madly.

In an instant, a majestic pressure swept out, the earth trembled, cracks spread, and for a time, dust and smoke rolled.

Martial arts imagery, exclusive to Heavenly Origin martial artists!

Song Yushao had broken through to the Heavenly Origin realm many years ago and naturally had already comprehended martial arts imagery.

His entire body's aura erupted, sword intent soaring to the heavens, the grand imagery shaking heaven and earth.

"Slash!"

With a long roar, the blood-red sword light tore through the air, turning into a red waterfall, slashing down with sharp sword intent.

Layers of surging sea waves roared behind Song Yushao. Before the sword light even arrived, the soil around Xu Yang had already shattered, and the tyrannical pressure kept striking his mind like crashing waves.

"Hmph!" He let out a cold snort, invisible blade intent slashing through the pressure, and the pressure on his body suddenly eased.

"Bang!"

The soil under his feet shattered, his body moving horizontally quickly, disappearing from where he stood in an instant.

The next moment, the waterfall-like sword light slammed heavily into the place where he had been standing.

"Rumble..."

Terrifying dust and smoke rose to the sky. Amidst the deafening sound, a crack over a dozen zhang long was slashed into the earth, and the scorching, sharp blade Qi rushed out for over a dozen zhang before disappearing.

"No matter who you are, you are dead today!"

Song Yushao shouted sharply, the sword light sweeping out, the aura shattering the earth along the way. The entire Yunqi Manor didn't know how much area was shaken and collapsed, the mountain-toppling sword light slashing toward Xu Yang's waist.

The sharp sword intent seemed capable of splitting even a mountain if it were before him.

"If I'm exposed, then so be it!" Xu Yang's eyes surged with sharp light.

Without revealing his full strength, he couldn't kill Song Yushao at all. An old-timer of the Heavenly Origin realm couldn't be killed just by hiding his identity.

To this day, in the territory of the Profound Heaven Sect, he no longer needed to worry about too much.

Thinking of this, his domineering and condensed Gang Yuan roared, his entire body emitting a warm, jade-like light, his whole body appearing as if it had turned into jade.

"Boom..."

A tyrannical aura surged out like a volcanic eruption, the majestic pressure sweeping out, clashing and confronting the pressure Song Yushao was suppressing with.

Within a ten-zhang radius, the ground shattered, soil and stone turning into powder, unable to withstand the aftermath of the clash of auras between two Heavenly Origin experts.

The soil under Xu Yang's feet shattered, blinding light exploded, and a zhang-tall Ming Wang phantom appeared behind him.

Ming Wang Unmoving Body, a Major Success-level body-tempering cultivation method! Known as unmoving as a mountain, integrating offense and defense.

Although it hadn't reached perfection, he had also comprehended the Ming Wang imagery.

Xu Yang's aura increased rapidly, the tyrannical power seemingly about to break through his shell, his muscles and bones emitting crackling sounds. The veins on his body bulged, his muscles rising like mountain peaks, and his figure actually grew half a foot taller in an instant, the knotted muscles stretching his clothes.

"Martial arts imagery is indeed a power exclusive to Heavenly Origin martial artists."

This was the first time he had used martial arts imagery after breaking through to the Heavenly Origin realm, and the amplified power was not something comparable to when he was at the Marrow Cleansing realm.

Or rather, when he was at the Marrow Cleansing realm, it was just a child playing with a big blade, unable to unleash the true power of martial arts imagery at all.

At this moment, he felt as if he were one with heaven and earth, the massive Ming Wang imagery continuously drawing the power of heaven and earth from the world to infuse his body, making his power stronger and stronger.

The astonishing aura broke through Song Yushao's pressure, the sound of the collision, audible only to the mind, shaking his spirit.

Tyrannical power infused the Bi Shui Blade, the blade light surging, and Xu Yang stepped forward, slashing out with his blade against the sword light.

"Boom!"

Blade light and sword light collided, as if heavenly pillars were crashing, violent shockwaves sweeping in all directions, golden and crimson Gang Yuan roaring as they bombarded the void.

With a loud bang, blade light and sword light exploded simultaneously, revealing the body of the spirit weapon.

Both spirit weapons let out mournful cries simultaneously, vibrating incessantly, as if they were about to disintegrate in the terrifying collision.

Xu Yang's entire body was shaken, his muscles and bones roaring, his Qi and blood churning like waves.

His legs were like old trees rooted in the earth, standing firm, and even though the soil under his feet shattered in large patches, he didn't move a single bit.

"Hmph!"

Song Yushao let out a muffled groan, the martial arts imagery behind him disappearing instantly. He felt a massive, irresistible vibrating force coming from the hilt, the sword body shaking violently, its spirituality almost dissipated.

The hand holding the sword went numb, losing sensation for a short time, the terrifying rebound force making him unable to help but retreat step by step, his feet causing the ground to roar with each step.

Song Yushao, however, couldn't care about this, his eyes surging with sharp light, cold light blazing.

Jin Gang Yuan! Ming Wang Unmoving Body!

"Xu Yang, it's you, you beast!" Song Yushao blurted out, his voice containing monstrous fury and horror.

Near the Profound Heaven Sect, only Xu Yang cultivated Jin Gang Qi. He had been suspicious when he saw the Jin Gang Yuan earlier, but he felt it was impossible for Xu Yang to have broken through to the Heavenly Origin realm.

Seeing the Ming Wang Unmoving Body at this moment, he was one hundred percent certain that this masked person was Xu Yang.

Li Huo Gong, Ming Wang Unmoving Body, Jin Gang Qi—looking across the Profound Heaven Sect, only Xu Yang met these conditions and also had a grudge against the Song family.

"It's your daddy!" Xu Yang tore off the black cloth on his face.

Once the Unmoving Ming Wang Body was revealed, he knew his identity would inevitably be exposed, because everyone knew he practiced the Unmoving Ming Wang Body.

Facing an old-timer of the Heavenly Origin realm like Song Yushao, he couldn't do it without using his full strength.

However, it didn't matter; all the Song family members in Yunqi Manor were dead, and once he slaughtered Song Yushao, no one would think it was him.

"You hid yourself so deeply!" Song Yushao was shocked and furious, his face filled with disbelief.

It really was Xu Yang!

This beast's Unmoving Ming Wang Body had long since reached Major Success, and he had comprehended the Ming Wang imagery, yet he had hidden his strength during the Profound Heaven Sect's Ten Elites ranking competition. No wonder he could easily suppress Lin Jingyu of the Huang Feng Valley.

Of course, what truly horrified Song Yushao was Xu Yang's cultivation, which had actually already broken through to the Heavenly Origin realm. One had to know that Zhang Hanzhou and Qi Xuancheng and others were still struggling to break through the bottleneck.
