Chapter 725

Could it be that Yuchi Zhen, whom even the Demon Master and Wu Zun couldn't defeat, would today fall at his own hands?

If he captured Yuchi Zhen, it wasn't just about gaining the Khan's further favor.

At the very least, Meng Chixing and Watching Bi Xuan would show him some respect from now on!

But whether Yuchi Zhen possessed the Dragon-Soaring Mallet, he still needed to observe.

Otherwise, after he charged into battle, Yuchi Zhen suddenly pulled out the Dragon-Soaring Mallet.

Then, whether to fight or retreat, he'd be caught between a rock and a hard place.

In this moment of hesitation, Yuchi Zhen slew another dozen of Borhut's personal guards.

Then, finally seizing an opening, he swung his second blade at the sturdy battle standard.

The second strike landed—the battle standard shuddered, then tilted slightly.

"Ah… my battle standard…"

Borhut cried out; if this standard fell, he'd truly lose all face.

Suddenly, he recalled the Dragon-Soaring Mallet's true power: it shattered any weapon or object it struck.

He knew the White Camel Ancestor was suspicious and hesitating, so he added fuel to the fire.

"White Camel Ancestor, think—where does the Dragon-Soaring Mallet's true power lie?"

The White Camel Ancestor hidden in the shadows immediately pondered.

He wasn't foolish; with Borhut's words, he instantly understood.

At this moment, toppling the battle standard was undoubtedly Yuchi Zhen's most critical task.

It would take only one strike with the Dragon-Soaring Mallet to accomplish it.

Why would he have any reason to hide the Dragon-Soaring Mallet just to lure you out?

Moreover, even my grandson Ouyang Feng doesn't know I'm still alive.

How many people in the world even know I'm still alive?

"Boy, drop your sword, and I'll give you a quick death!"

A figure suddenly appeared in midair not far from Lord Sikong Yuchi.

His hair and beard were pure white, giving him the appearance of a transcendent immortal.

Yet his brow brimmed with malice, making him deeply incongruous.

This man was the White Camel Mountain Ancestor, Ouyang Feng's ancestor!

He'd played a small trick—he'd already deduced Lord Sikong Yuchi likely didn't carry the Dragon-Soaring Mallet.

Yet he still kept his distance.

At this range, a true energy clash might be possible.

But to strike with the Dragon-Soaring Mallet as a surprise attack? Impossible to reach.

As for a true energy clash, Yuchi Zhen was only half-step toward the Mythical Realm—he hadn't even entered it.

How could he, a peak Land Immortal Realm master of the Great Yuan, possibly take him seriously?

Yet his dramatic entrance was utterly ignored by Yuchi Zhen.

He kept swinging his long sword, using refined sword techniques and true energy far superior to Borhut's guards.

After repelling the guards' repeated entanglements, he struck at the battle standard multiple times.

But these guards knew the stakes were dire, and their numbers were great.

They stubbornly held their ground, preventing Yuchi Zhen from delivering a third strike.

For a time, the White Camel Ancestor was completely ignored.

Neither Borhut's guards, nor Yuchi Zhen, nor even Borhut himself paid him any mind.

No one had time to care for this sudden pretender playing the big shot.

The White Camel Ancestor was utterly embarrassed, so he unleashed the full might of his peak Land Immortal Realm aura.

What is called "momentum" is, in truth, the signature domain unique to the Land Immortal realm.

This aura, in truth, was the signature domain unique to the Land Immortal Realm.

This domain was one of the martial paths warriors pursued from the moment they began training.

Only upon reaching the peerless level did they, through their understanding of the martial Dao, awaken their own unique momentum.

Then, when ascending from peerless to Land Immortal Realm, not only did their qi fully transform into true energy,

but their personal momentum expanded further into this domain—like Zhang Sanfeng's Yin-Yang path, or Tian Mo Cang Qu's Heavenly Demon Stance,

even Xiao Jingtian's Hun Tian Si Jue, the four natural forces of wind, thunder, fire, and rain—all formed from their own martial Dao.

Of course, Zhang Sanfeng, Cang Qu, and Xiao Jingtian no longer belonged to the category of domains—they no longer even called them domains.

The White Camel Ancestor's realization was, naturally, his own aura domain.

Once this aura domain enveloped, everyone within—friend or foe—moved entirely under his observation.

Unless their cultivation surpassed his, they could not escape his scrutiny.

Moreover, the White Camel Mountain lineage specialized in poison as part of the martial path.

Thus, the White Camel Ancestor's aura domain subtly infused serpent venom.

As he spread it, this invisible, intangible venom pierced directly into everyone's bodies.

Both Yuchi Zhen and Borhut's guards immediately felt their breathing grow labored.

"Damn it, this old bastard is that ruthless? Even his own men?"

How could Yuchi Zhen not sense the White Camel Ancestor's arrival? He simply had no time to deal with this show-off.

Yet he hadn't expected that, enraged and humiliated, the White Camel Ancestor not only activated his aura domain,

but also disregarded rank, status, and enemy or ally, striking out at everyone indiscriminately.

In fact, this was just another case of Yuchi Zhen's lack of insight.

The aura domain of an Earthly Immortal Realm cultivator looks imposing and majestic.

But before reaching the Heavenly Being Realm, they cannot control their aura domain at will—neither release nor retract.

Once released, it envelops everyone within the domain, friend or foe alike.

Thus, during previous sieges, none of these Great Yuan Earthly Immortal Realm experts dared to unleash their aura domains casually.

After all, if it struck the enemy, that would be fine.

But if it struck their own men, misunderstandings could lead to great trouble.

On this side, Yuchi Zhen felt his true qi flowing poorly; he immediately activated his cultivation technique to resist the all-pervading snake venom.

Because the White Camel Ancestor's aura domain could not be controlled at will, Borhut and all his men were caught in it.

They lacked Yuchi Zhen's level of cultivation; once affected, they could no longer use their lightness arts.

Like dumplings dropping into boiling water, they tumbled from midair and landed beside Borhut.

Borhut was startled—he had not been enveloped by the White Camel Ancestor's aura domain, so he had no idea what was happening.

He hurried over to see what had happened to these bodyguards and found their faces bluish-purple, clearly signs of poisoning.

Of all the honored experts brought along, the one most skilled in poison was none other than the White Camel Ancestor.

Borhut immediately understood and turned to ask him:

"White Camel Ancestor, are you mad? Why attack my personal bodyguards?"

These bodyguards were all related to Borhut by blood; now, some had been killed or wounded by Yuchi Zhen.

The rest lay poisoned at his feet.

Borhut and the White Camel Ancestor belonged to different systems; now Borhut could not suppress his fury.

"Mmm…"

The White Camel Ancestor was deeply embarrassed; he had just failed to make a grand entrance, so he was furious and humiliated.

He deliberately unleashed his aura domain, intending only to intimidate those who ignored him.

But he ended up accidentally injuring Borhut's bodyguards.

Hearing Borhut's accusation, he didn't know whether to answer or stay silent.

He thought it over—he belonged to the Honored Experts roster, not the military Fan Chou.

Though Borhut was the Khan's trusted confidant, every Honored Expert was an unparalleled treasure of the Great Yuan's Golden Clan.

As long as Tie Muzhen wasn't foolish, he wouldn't dare target him over something so trivial.

Besides, after dealing with this brat Yuchi Zhen, he could simply antidote the bodyguards' snake venom.
