Chapter 1166 - 352: Shen Hanyi’s Wrath (6k)_3

"Insolence! Who dares trespass into the royal family’s forbidden grounds?!"

Dozens of figures charged over, but when they were still a hundred zhang away from her, they froze into ice statues, all life snuffed out!

Just then—

"Boom!"

High above the firmament, a streak of golden light tore through the void as vast Emperor Dao Dragon Qi came crashing down to blanket the sky and earth!

"Presumptuous!"

A furious shout exploded like heavenly thunder, making the entire Imperial City tremble!

Prince Xuanyuan Shuo strode through the air and arrived!

He wore a purple-gold python robe, nine golden dragon phantoms coiling around him. Each dragon shadow carried the terrifying pressure of the Spirit Severing Realm. His eyes flashed like lightning as he looked down coldly at Shen Hanyi.

"It’s you..." Xuanyuan Shuo’s brows furrowed tightly as he immediately recognized the person before him.

And this woman had even taken Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao deep into the border region and slain the Spider Emperor Ye Luo.

Years ago, he had wanted to Soul Search Zhou Qing to see exactly where they had gone and what they had done.

Unexpectedly, the other side had planted a Sealing in Zhou Qing’s sea of consciousness; the moment his Divine Soul entered Zhou Qing’s sea of consciousness, it was devoured and annihilated.

Shen Hanyi lifted her gaze, also recognizing Xuanyuan Shuo—the one who had contested over the Old Peng King’s corpse at Canglan Mountain that year.

The one who had once sacrificed a Jade Talisman to summon the Old Emperor’s Dharma Body and, with a single finger, suppressed and killed the Old Peng King whose corpse had gained sentience.

"You’re the one who killed Master Situ?" Killing intent blazed in her eyes.

Xuanyuan Shuo’s eyes flickered. "You mean Situ Jiuyao?" Seeing Shen Hanyi staring fixedly at him, he continued, "So you know each other. He wasn’t killed by me."

"Then why is he here?" Shen Hanyi stepped forward and demanded.

Xuanyuan Shuo hesitated slightly.

That corpse of a Level 4 Array Master was something he, Second Uncle, and Zhou Qing had obtained from the Peng Emperor’s Cave Mansion.

To maintain the balance at the borders and overawe the Demon Emperors deep within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, they had painstakingly set up the illusion that "the Peng Emperor Feng Xuanling was breaking through to the Mid-stage Spirit Severing Realm."

Situ Jiuyao’s Five-Colored Array Disc was still placed on Black Feather Peak to this day, precisely to confuse outsiders.

Very few people knew of this matter; it was considered top secret.

He had no reason to explain anything to a stranger he didn’t even know.

Seeing Xuanyuan Shuo remain silent, a cold light flared in Shen Hanyi’s eyes. She spoke no more and struck directly!

"Boom——!!!"

With one step forward, the entire world suddenly froze. Endless frost spread out from beneath her feet, freezing the void inch by inch!

Xuanyuan Shuo’s expression changed. Another cold attribute—why was she so similar to those two Spirit Severing cultivators from the Taiqing Sect?

His hands rapidly began Sealing.

Nine golden dragons roared out from within his body, transforming into dragons ten thousand zhang long, forcefully tearing apart the encroaching ice!

"Daoist friend!" Xuanyuan Shuo shouted sternly, "Though you come from the cultivation realm of another nation, this is the territory of my Xuanyuan Dynasty!"

"Why should my clan’s affairs be explained to you? Today you destroy my dynasty’s vital grounds—don’t you think you’re far too audacious?!"

Before his words finished, golden light erupted from his palm, and a golden war halberd wreathed in Emperor Dao Dragon Qi appeared out of thin air.

As the war halberd swept out, mountains and rivers trembled, as if it would cleave heaven and earth asunder!

Shen Hanyi’s face was like frost. Her slender jade finger lifted lightly, and a crystalline Ice Crystal Longsword condensed in an instant.

"Clang——!"

The instant sword and halberd collided, the void collapsed and heaven and earth lost all color!

A violent energy storm swept in all directions, scattering the clouds within a hundred li!

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a tooth-aching shattering sound, Xuanyuan Shuo’s war halberd was actually severed by a single sword!

"What?!" His pupils contracted sharply as his body shot backward.

However, Shen Hanyi’s second sword was already upon him like a shadow!

"Pfft!"

The sword light pierced through his shoulder. Before the blood could even spurt out, it was frozen into ice!

"Late-stage Spirit Severing Realm?!" Blood seeped from the corner of Xuanyuan Shuo’s mouth as shock finally surfaced on his face. "Impossible!"

Back at Canglan Mountain, she’d been only at the same Mid-stage as him.

Suspended in midair, Shen Hanyi’s white clothes outshone snow. Her voice was as cold as the abyss. "He was my mentor and also a close friend. You killed him and stole his corpse, then laid him out here for all to gawk at. You deserve death!"

With that, she flung out her wide sleeve. The ice crystals filling the sky turned into billions of blades, pouring down to shred Xuanyuan Shuo!

"Roar——!"

Xuanyuan Shuo let out an enraged roar as dazzling golden light erupted from his body.

The nine dragon shadows intertwined into a shield, taking that lethal strike head-on.

"Boom!"

With a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering crash, Xuanyuan Shuo was blasted a thousand zhang away, spewing blood as he smashed heavily into a distant palace wall!

For a moment, rubble flew and dust billowed!

The entire Imperial City quaked under that blow. The ground split into spiderweb-like cracks that spread for hundreds of zhang!

"Cough, cough..."

Xuanyuan Shuo struggled up from the ruins, his Dragon Qi scattered, his purple-gold python robe in tatters, blood dripping ceaselessly from the corner of his mouth.

Yet the battle intent in his eyes did not diminish; instead, it burned even fiercer!

"This king is the War God of the Holy Martial Dynasty!" he growled, slamming his hands together as the Emperor Dao Dragon Qi within him boiled once more!

"So what if you’re Late-stage Spirit Severing Realm? After Refinement of the Tiger Emperor, I’m close to that as well. I’ll use your strength— to shatter my bottleneck!"

Before the words finished, golden light flared around him. The nine golden dragon phantoms roared out of his body again.

They coiled and circled, and in an instant condensed into a hundred-zhang-tall Emperor Dao Dharma Aspect!

The Dharma Aspect was majestic, wearing an Emperor Crown, clad in dragon armor, gripping a golden war halberd wreathed in endless Dragon Qi, like an ancient War God descending to the world!

"Fight!"

Xuanyuan Shuo roared, and the Dharma Aspect moved with him. The war halberd swept across, tearing open the void as it hacked down on Shen Hanyi with unstoppable might!

Shen Hanyi’s gaze was icy. Her fair hand lifted lightly, frost condensing at her fingertip into a thousand-zhang Ice Crystal giant sword. Wherever its edge pointed, heaven and earth froze!

"Clang——!!!"

The instant halberd and sword clashed, the entire void collapsed. Endless spatial fissures spread out, devouring everything around them!

The raging energy storm swept in all directions, utterly pulverizing the surrounding buildings to dust.
