The Battle Through Heaven
Grand Battle
The sudden change that appeared in the sky caused everyone on the open ground to be shocked. Their gazes noticed the figure of an old man slowly appearing. The expressions of the few who knew him instantly changed.
"Old Hai? Why is he taking action? " Jia Xing Tian's face was completely dumbfounded as he spoke.
Fa Ma's expression was also slightly stunned. He did not expect that Hai Bodong would actually risk causing a conflict with the Misty Cloud Sect, and stepped forward to help.
The two people faced each other, both of them feeling something strange. Given Hai Bodong's character, he didn't seem to be someone who would help others in doing something so frivolous.
"It looks like Xiao Yan has a great attraction towards Old Hai. It had even reached the point where Old Hai was willing to take action to stop the Misty Cloud Sect. This guy really makes me even more curious as to what he really is. " Jia Xing Tian shook his head. His voice contained a surprise that was hard to hide. He was very familiar with Hai Bodong's character. If no gift could move him, then this ice-like person would definitely not do something as brazen as this. Just what kind of magic did that little boy who was not even twenty yet rely on to move a Dou Huang?
Fa Ma nodded slightly. His gaze turned to the sky as he softly said, "Now, let's see what happens next. How could something unexpected happen. "
The sudden action taken by Hai Bodong immediately caused the situation of the square to become a little strange. The burden of someone at the Dou Huang class was something that no one dared to look down on, not even the Misty Cloud Sect!
Seeing the way Hai Bodong acted, it was clear that he was standing by Xiao Yan's side. In that case, the Misty Cloud Sect would have to reconsider carefully whether they wanted to capture Xiao Yan or not. If they were not careful, they might actually cause a soul-stirring great battle.
Those in the square who knew Hai Bodong were only a minority. Most of the Misty Cloud Sect disciples did not have much of an impression of a strongman who had hidden his name and lived in isolation for decades. Hence, when they saw that this old man with an unimpressive appearance was able to destroy the energy wall created by the three elders together, shock and disbelief, which were hard to hide, were hard to hide, they cover their faces.
In the sky, the three elders were retreating like lightning, flapping their wings, and stopping their bodies. They raised their heads, and stared at the old figure beside Xiao Yan. Seriousness involuntarily surfaced on their faces. Their gazes meticulously and slowly swept over Hai Bodong. A moment later, the oldest Misty Cloud Elder seemed to suddenly recall something. His expression changed drastically as he shouted involuntarily, "Hi Bodong? Ice Emperor Hai Bodong? Are you actually alive? "
Hearing his shout, the other two old men by his side also recalled the name that once shook the Jia Ma Empire. Instantly, some changes occurred on their faces. The powerful Dou Qi in their bodies seemed to circulate involuntarily. Given their age, they were also of the same generation as Hai Bodong. The only difference was that Hai Bodong was already a powerful person who had shaken the Jia Ma Empire, when they were only a Deacon within the Misty Cloud Sect. Hence, when they saw his appearance, their hearts instantly became wary.
Hai Bodong glanced at the three of them before turning to look at Xiao Yan. He asked, "Are you okay?"
"If you're still not acting, it looks like I won't be okay." Xiao Yan waved the great Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand and laughed bitterly.
"Ah, this will be troublesome today. I myself cannot stop everything. " Oh Bodong softly said.
"Don't fight with them directly. That will be enough as long as we can leave this place. " Xiao Yan's gaze slowly swept around him. His expression slightly changed as he realized that when he was entangled with the three of them earlier. Nearly a hundred Misty Cloud Sect disciples with middle-aged appearances had appeared above the large trees around them. Looking at the way they were dressed, which was different from ordinary disciples and their bodies were filled with Dou Qi, it was clear that most of their strength was not weaker than his.
"There's no problem if I leave, but it's a little inconvenient to bring you along. Other party members were no ordinary people. Fortunately, however, Yun Yun did not exist. Otherwise, it is impossible to leave. " Hi Bodong's gaze randomly floated around him. A hint of excitement seeped into his words.
"Then I'll trouble Old Hai." Xiao Yan nodded and laughed bitterly.
"I'll try my best." There was a slight smile on Hai Bodong's face. Using his own strength to fight against the many skilled Misty Cloud Sect personnel was something that even he as a Dou Huang, would not feel happy doing.
"Hi Bodong, it's really unexpected that we can still meet again after the breakup back then." Yun Leng's ugly expression slowly recovered significantly. He raised his head and looked at Hai Bodong in the sky. Not long after the latter entered the capital, he had already gotten accurate news of his appearance. Hence, his expression was not too surprised upon seeing Hai Bodong this time around. It was unexpected that he would actually make a move to help Xiao Yan.
"Hee hee, Yun Leng, your position has improved after all these years. You back then seemed to have only entered the Misty Cloud Sect Elder Council. It is truly unexpected that you have truly become the First Elder now. " Oh Bodong said weakly.
"Ke Ke, this is all because the Sect Leader trusted these old bones of mine." Yun Leng smiled. Instantly, his expression became solemn as he looked at Hai Bodong and said, "We can reminisce about the past later. You should know our intention to restrain Xiao Yan. This matter concerns the reputation of our Misty Cloud Sect. Therefore, I hope that you will not intervene randomly to avoid damaging the relationship between the Misty Cloud Sect and the relationship of the Primer clan. "
Hai Bodong only smiled in regards to the warning Yun Leng issued. He slowly said, "I'm sorry. For some reason, I must ensure the safety of Xiao Yan today. Therefore, I hope you will let him go because of this skinny face of mine. In the future, I, Hai Bodong will not forget this kindness of yours. "
Hearing this, Yun Leng's brows were instantly put together. In a deep voice, he said, "Hi Bodong, you know that this is something impossible. As a member of our Misty Cloud Sect, Mo Cheng's contribution over the years was something that everyone in the sect had witnessed. If we remain indifferent when such a benefactor dies in such a dubious manner, how can we ensure that our disciples will have peace of mind in the future? "
"Ah, I also have my own difficulties." Hai Bodong sighed and shook his head. From the appearance of Yun Leng, it seemed impossible to take Xiao Yan away by relying on those few words. He immediately stopped talking nonsense. After taking a quick glance at his surroundings, he suddenly grabbed Xiao Yan. However, before he could make a move, Yun Leng, who had been staring intently at him, shouted loudly, "Yun Li, the three of you stop him! All deacons from Misty Cloud Sect, forming ‘Misty Wind Fog Array’! "
"Bang, bang!"
At the moment the energy wrap was formed, Hai Bodong protected Xiao Yan with one hand while using an extremely ruthless and unreasonable manner to ferociously break through the defenses of the three elders. In a lightning-like manner, they flashed to the bottom of the energy cover. He waved his hand and an ice energy pillar about ten feet tall shot out fiercely and struck his energy cover. Its energy sheath swayed slightly, but it was strong enough that it did not immediately disintegrate.
"Damn it, the shell of a hard turtle." (TL: Not literally a turtle shell but a turtle is a kind of humiliation.)
Hai Bodong was about to continue attacking the energy cover after issuing a gentle curse when three ferocious forces came at him from behind. As the three powers flew, they actually started to merge and their strength surged after that. This forced Hai Bodong to have no choice but to turn around. With a wave of his hand, a hard, cold, and cold mirror quickly agglomerated in front of him, blocking the surging power.
"You should step aside first. Careful. Give me ten minutes! " Hai Bodong waved his hand and skillfully sent Xiao Yan behind him out of the battle circle while he said in a deep voice.
After sending Xiao Yan away, Hai Bodong's expression gradually became colder. Ice cold Dou Qi gushed out from his body. Immediately, one could see the water vapor contained in the surrounding air immediately began to harden into countless hard ice grains. He flicked his hand and the ice grains carried the whistling sound of wind and fiercely crashed into the three Misty Cloud Sect Elders from all directions.
The three Elders did not dare to underestimate this person who was once known as the Ice Emperor. The Dou Qi in their bodies simultaneously surged and the three different elements of Dou Qis began to fuse together, forming an indestructible defense.
In the distant sky, the figure of Hai Bodong flashed. He carried an extremely cold air as he began to launch waves of continuous attacks against the three Elders in a ruthless manner. Although the three of them could combine their Dou Qi to fight their opponents, they were still forced to retreat in defeat under Hai Bodong's powerful attack. If not for the great coordination between the three of them, they would have long since become someone defeated.
A cold wind continued to blow in the sky that was enveloped by white-colored energy. The explosive sound of energy contact repeatedly rang out in everyone's ears. The battle, which was extremely intense, caused the Misty Cloud Sect disciples below to be completely stunned.
Yun Leng narrowed his eyes and watched the three suppressed elders until they repeatedly retreated in defeat. He then glanced at Xiao Yan, who was hovering in another corner of the sky. A cold smile involuntarily burst out from his mouth. His shoulders trembled and a pair of Dou Qi wings slowly appeared.
With the flapping of both wings, Yun Leng's body began to rapidly rise into the air under everyone's gaze. Finally, he directly attacked Xiao Yan.
When he heard the sound of strong wind from below, Xiao Yan hurriedly lowered his head. Soon, his expression changed. The pair of wings on his back flapped and his body was quickly pulled backwards.
"Hey, you want to go? Regardless of why Hai Bodong wants to protect you, as long as I take you down first, he will most likely not dare to do anything. " Yun Leng let out a cold smile as he spoke while looking at Xiao Yan quickly retreat. His fingers pressed against empty space and his speed once again surged. In the blink of an eye, he approached Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan looked at Yun Leng approaching and hurriedly flapped his wings to escape.
In the sky, two figures were flying, one was chasing and one was fleeing. The figure at the back, however, quickly narrowed the distance between the two. At one moment, he finally entered the attacking distance. Yun Leng violently stomped his feet on the empty space. His body turned into a hazy lightning. When he appeared next, he was actually blocking the path that Xiao Yan used to escape. His body charged forward and his wrinkled hands gripped Xiao Yan's throat like eagle claws carrying a sharp aggressive force that caused Xiao Yan's skin to feel a piercing pain.
The speed Yun Leng acted at was lightning fast. When Xiao Yan had just noticed it, his hand claws were already less than half a meter in front of him!
Inside those dark black pupils, the claws of the hand that carried a sharp power were quickly magnified in size.
The claw of a hand that carried a sharp power cut through the empty space and directly pointed at Xiao Yan's neck!
In the distance, Hai Bodong was also paying attention to the situation happening by his side. His expression immediately changed drastically. He wanted to quickly advance to help Xiao Yan, but the three Misty Cloud Elders seemed to have gone mad. They took the risk of being seriously injured and used all their strength to carry out the unification of attacking Dou Tecdhnique, forcefully delaying Hai Bodong, causing him to be unable to withdraw.
At this moment, the gazes around stopped where Xiao Yan and Yun Leng were. If Xiao Yan was captured, the big fight this time around would completely stop.
"It looks like it's coming to an end. It was difficult for Hai Bodong alone to successfully take Xiao Yan away from the Misty Cloud Sect. " Jia Xing Tian pursed his lips and sighed.
Fa Ma nodded slightly. He was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. His gaze suddenly turned towards Xiao Yan, "That's not true! What'sthat?"
At this moment, another change once again occurred on the battlefield!
