History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

  Not having had enough time, he had still yet to completely understand the treasure that was hidden within.

  Having been forced to the brink of destruction by Yan Zhaoge just now, he had steeled his resolve and drawn on its unknown strength.

  Still, never would he have thought that his clan’s treasure would actually surrender to the enemy on its own accord in the blink of an eye.

  He had been extremely careful in refining it, his progress slow as he had been afraid that he might lose control of it and cause it to go on a rampage.

  Now, however, it had been tamed by Yan Zhaoge in an instant, as easily as drinking water or eating rice.

  How would the Chief of the Thunder Rumbling Clan not feel stifled to the point of wanting to vomit blood at this?

  In comparison to this, Yan Zhaoge was currently feeling very happy.

  “I just had an indistinct feeling before. Without the stone tablet having shattered, I wouldn’t have been able to say for sure.”

  “How unexpected that there actually was a fragment of the Eye of the Thunder Emperor here, even having sent itself up to me on its own accord. What a great, unexpected harvest this is.”

  The light of thunder flickered unceasingly within Yan Zhaoge’s right pupil.

  Having newly received a fragment of the Eye of the Thunder Emperor as it had merged with the one he had previously grasped, he had to refine it once more.

  However, with the previous fragment as a foundation and his current cultivation base, this was already a very easy thing. Not much time would be required for it.

  Currently, Yan Zhaoge truly felt that it was a pleasant surprise, “With this, my trip to the Floating Life World this time can already no longer be considered a wasted one.”

  The people of the Blood Cloud Clan, the Thunder Rumbling Clan and the Blazing Fire Clan currently felt boundless fear.

  They might have been feeling other things before, having been furious, unresigned, greedy, resentful…

  Regardless, currently, all of them were consumed by a single emotion.

  Fear.

  A fear that had virtually completely numbed their minds and bodies.

  Seeing the final trump card of the Thunder Rumbling Clan having been easily thwarted by Yan Zhaoge, as long as they still possessed the energy to move, all of the invaders turned and fled.

  …Even those who had previously been heavily injured to the point of being unable to move managed to muster up some source of unknown energy now as they struggled to flee.

  Just like how the three clans were fearful of the power of the Blood Cloud Gourd, the martial practitioners of the Floating Life World generally knew the power of the Thunder Containing Tablet.

  If they had the chance to steal or destroy the Thunder Containing Tablet, whether it was Green Dragon Mountain or the Blood Cloud Clan, both of them would act without hesitation.

  Meanwhile, the power of the purple orb that had appeared after the Chief of the Thunder Rumbling Clan had shattered the Thunder Containing Tablet, having been completely unleashed, had been felt by all of them here as that terrifying aura had far surpassed that of the Thunder Containing Tablet.

  However, this treasure had been easily tamed by Yan Zhaoge amidst casual speech and laughter. This had been achieved with an even more relaxed manner than when he had suppressed the Blazing Fire Demon Slaughtering Grand Formation and halved the Blood Cloud Gourd with his sword.

  How could this not cause Lu Ming and the others to feel fearful, fearful to the point of numbness?

  They had never felt something as clearly as this before.

  In the Furan Kingdom previously, they had not seen through the strength of Yan Zhaoge’s group, having mistakenly taken a true dragon for a grass snake.

  Now, they still seemed unable to see through Yan Zhaoge’s true abilities.

  This youth who had only appeared in the Floating Life World a short time ago had swept through their three clans all on his own, sending them scurrying off in pathetic defeat yet still not looking like he had gone all out with his true strength.

  The power difference between them being just too immense, the deep desolation and helplessness felt by the martial practitioners of the Thunder Rumbling Clan and the Blazing Fire Clan now even left them unable to feel any hate towards Yan Zhaoge.

  Fear and rage required a target for venting.

  The martial practitioners of the Thunder Rumbling Clan and the Blazing Fire Clan could only feel hatred towards the Blood Cloud Clan like they had never felt before.

  If not for the Blood Cloud Clan having wrongly evaluated the strength of Yan Zhaoge’s group, how would they have slammed headlong into a wall of metal, with it now looking like that collision might just directly render them dead?

  For just that one moment, the martial practitioners of the Thunder Rumbling Clan and the Blazing Fire Clan even felt like they wanted to team up with Green Dragon Mountain, the three joining hands in a conquest to the south to surround and beat up the Blood Cloud Clan.

  Now, however, what was most important for them was first escaping their own imminent destruction!

  Lu Ming brought along his Blood Cloud Clan martial practitioners in rapidly escaping. The Chief of the Thunder Rumbling Clan did not dare to linger on his feelings of despondence and frustration at the loss of his treasure as he hurriedly brought his people along in fleeing towards another direction.

  Those from the Blazing Fire Clan were caught in a tragic situation. Having been suppressed by the pillar of the Divine Palace, they were unable to flee even if they wanted to.

  Behind Lu Ming’s group, the terrifying sword-light assaulted over once again like a dragon soaring a thousand li, rampaging amidst its path as blood flowed all around in rivers.

  Seeing Lu Ming and the others escaping, Yan Zhaoge was not in a rush as he gazed beneath the pillar of the Divine Palace.

  There, the Chief of the Blazing Fire Clan let out consecutive strange howls, fiery red light flickering unceasingly within his eyes as the patterns of light about his body grew increasingly dazzling.

  The Blazing Fire Demon Slaughtering Grand Formation had already been suppressed, but above his head, the massive silhouette of a Fire Crow was currently gradually taking form.

  Looking rather interestedly at this, Yan Zhaoge appraised, “Yeah, it is much stronger than that Ling Gang who cultivated in the Six-Legged Flying Lightning Leopard.”

  “Though, it’s still pretty much useless.”

  Having said thus, the sword-light of the Green Abyss Sword in Yan Zhaoge’s hands now flashed as the head of the Chief of the Blazing Fire Clan was instantly separated from its body.

  Dazedly watching on as their Chief was beheaded by Yan Zhaoge in a single move, the martial practitioners of the Blazing Fire Clan were all unable to react for quite a time.

  As the martial practitioners of Green Dragon Mountain in the distance with their Chief, Luo Jinghao, at their head saw this, their bodies couldn’t help but involuntarily tremble, a chill rising up from their feet through their spines and straight to the top of their heads.

  Yan Zhaoge appeared rather nonchalant as after having slain the Chief of the Blazing Fire Clan, he turned to look at the people of Green Dragon Mountain, asking casually, “There shouldn’t be a problem if I leave the rest of the Blazing Fire Clan martial practitioners for you to handle, right?”

  Luo Jinghao and the others unconsciously straightened their backs, answering smartly, “No problem!”

  Yan Zhaoge nodded noncommittally before directly keeping the pillar of the Divine Palace and disappearing from his present location in a flash, shooting off in pursuit of the escaping martial practitioners of the Blood Cloud Clan and the Thunder Rumbling Clan at lightning speed.

  That speed left no doubts whatsoever in the minds of the Green Dragon Mountain martial practitioners that he might not be able to catch up with their fleeing enemies.

  Yan Zhaoge no longer being in sight, only now did the tense hearts of they of Green
Dragon Mountain finally gradually relax.

  They all exchanged looks, feeling as though they were in a dream.

  Thinking of how they had been thinking to acquire some Pixiu essence blood from Yan Zhaoge earlier, thinking how they had believed that Yan Zhaoge wanted to rely on the power of their Green Dragon Mountain to intimidate the Blood Cloud Clan, halting their pursuit, all of their backs were drenched with sweat as they wished that they could dig out a pit and bury themselves within it.

  At this moment, all of them rejoiced from the bottom of their hearts that they had not expressed such thoughts to Yan Zhaoge in front of him. Matters now could still be salvaged.

  Thinking of this, all of them turned and looked at Su Yan, neither hurried nor slow as she arrived late to the matter at her own pace.

  The Chief of the Snow Crane Sect seemed not to have been worried at all that her Young Master might be unable to deal with the previous situation.

  Looking at Su Yun’s face now, Luo Jinghao and the others could only feel their faces burning with a fiery pain.

  However, they had to be shameless now and awkwardly face Su Yun as they tried to remedy the mistakes that they had made back at Green Dragon Mountain.

  However, while feeling awkward, all of them of Green Dragon Mountain now rejoiced greatly at their Chief having agreed upon that marriage for his son that year.

  Those who had once opposed that marriage all now wanted to whoop towards the skies, “All hail Chief’s brilliance!”

  Facing those respectful people of Green Dragon Mountain, Su Yun’s expression was calm and her tone mild as she said, “This is my Young Master’s way of resting. My Young Master says that as compared to undertaking an expeditious journey and meeting with others, this is quite less tiring.”

  HSSB445: Smiting thee dead!

  While able to take care of the Blazing Fire Mountain martial practitioners who had come to invade them, while having to smile awkwardly with Su Yun, the martial practitioners of Green Dragon Mountain were pained as well as happy.

  It was not that they lacked backbones. Instead, Yan Zhaoge’s sweeping dominance over the three clans earlier had caused them to deeply comprehend that they might not be on the same level at all.

  Admitting inferiority under such circumstances didn’t have to do with one’s backbone at all.

  …or at least, it was this way that the people of Green Dragon Mountain comforted themselves.

  Whether or not others believed it, they themselves believed it whole-heartedly.

  Meanwhile, the Blood Cloud Clan and the Thunder Rumbling Clan could currently feel only pain.

  While they wished that they could give the people of the Blood Cloud Clan a vicious beating, with them being in the same boat now like ants attached to the same rope, the people of the Thunder Rumbling Clan could only suppress the despondent fury in their hearts.

  Them having split up and escaped in two different directions, the Thunder Rumbling Clan believed that Yan Zhaoge would most likely chase after the people of the Blood Cloud Clan if he was of the mind to pursue.

  After all, Yan Zhaoge had originally had old enmity with the Blood Cloud Clan. The western invasion this time had also been orchestrated by the Blood Cloud Clan, being the ones who were the most responsible.

  The Blood Cloud Clan also thought the same, but it wasn’t like they could flee towards the territory of the Thunder Rumbling Clan. Fleeing back to their clan and borrowing the power of the Blue Bird was already the last hope that they could count on.

  While after having seen Yan Zhaoge’s strength, no one thought that the Blue Bird might be able to obstruct him, it was, at the end of the day, a life-saving piece of straw for them to clutch at, allowing them to grit their teeth and proceed forth painstakingly. Otherwise, they might just immediately break down.

  Behind them, a sword-light streaked over from the western horizon, almost instantly catching up with them.

  As the majestic dragon’s roar resounded, it was like the king of hell was summoning their souls as the martial practitioners of the Blood Cloud Clan and the Thunder Rumbling Clan quivered in fear.

  As the Chief of the Thunder Rumbling Clan gazed over, he saw Yan Zhaoge’s sword-light spin, indeed going off in pursuit of those of the Blood Cloud Clan.

  Still, before those of the Thunder Rumbling Clan could catch their breaths, sword qi and sabre-light shot into the skies as Xu Fei, Ah Hu, Feng Yunsheng and Ying Longtu were now before them.

  Xu Fei swivelled his head and said to Feng Yunsheng and Ying Longtu, “This is mainly for the two of you to temper yourself. Just performing to your utmost is enough.”

  Feng Yunsheng and Ying Longtu nodded, Ah Hu meanwhile laughing, “Having been beaten to an entire palace of wounded troops by Young Master, they won’t be able to stir up much.”

  The Chief of the Thunder Rumbling Clan was greatly angered, as were the martial practitioners of his clan under him.

  It was already tragic enough how Yan Zhaoge and beaten them to the point of losing their helmets and shedding their armour, huddling their heads and scurrying away like sewer rats. Still, could it be that even some random qi cultivators randomly appearing out of nowhere would be able to act domineeringly in the Floating Life World as they liked?

  Not believing in the occult, the demonic bloodline cultivators of the Thunder Rumbling Clan surged forward ferociously. Still, they quickly discovered that not believing in the occult was really not fine!

  Perhaps Feng Yunsheng, Xu Fei and the others weren’t actually as powerful of Yan Zhaoge, possessing his wide arsenal of powerful treasures.

  However, after having truly clashed, the demonic bloodline cultivators of the Floating Life World now realised that Xu Fei, Ah Hu and the others had also not used their full strength back in Kanghe City of the Furan Kingdom as well.

  Therefore, slamming into a wall once more, the hatred those of the Thunder Rumbling Clan felt towards the Blood Cloud Clan hereby became even more irreconcilable.

  They could only feel extremely joyful at the thought of Lu Ming and the other martial practitioners of the Blood Cloud Clan having to face Yan Zhaoge’s personal pursuit, this even causing their current predicament to feel like less of a grim, dismal one.

  Meanwhile, the Blood Cloud Clan martial practitioners were naturally feeling pained as if their parents had died.

  Now, a clear phoenix cry resounded from the path before them.

  Hearing the familiar cry of the Blue Bird, not only did Lu Ming and the others not feel joyful, their expressions instead changed greatly.

  A blue silhouette soared into the air in the distance, its wings spread wide as its strength was even greater than when Lu Ming and the others had established the Blue Bird Crying Heaven Formation earlier.

  The wings of the massive silhouetted Blue Bird seemed to extend into space as even the winds and clouds between the heavens and the earth were drawn by their movements.

  A scholarly-looking middle-aged man stood beneath that Blue Bird, his pupils turned completely blue as countless bright flickering patterns of light could be seen on the surface of his skin.

  One of the current three strongest experts of the Floating Life World, once a Heaven’s favoured son of the Blood Cloud Clan, it was the ‘Phoenix Demon’ Shao Fengting.

  Shao Fengting said calmly as he looked as Lu Ming, “Senior apprentice-brother ah, this is the first time I have ever seen you so harried.”

  Lu Ming’s expression was extremely dark. With the grave injuries his group currently had, how might they be able to stand against the Phoenix Demon of the Three Demons?

  Even if he awakened his bloodline and became a semi-demonised practitioner, he would still not be able to defeat Shao Fengting before him.

  Shao Fengting chuckled, “Did you think I would be foolish enough to attack your headquarters with the Blue Bird guarding over it? Waiting here for you to return from the western domain would
instead be the best choice for me ah.”

  “Even if you won, being prideful amidst high spirits, it would be easy for you to let down your guard.”

  “And if you were defeated, you would be like how you are now, falling nicely right into my hands like this.”

  Beneath the silhouetted Blue Bird’s wings, many powerful auras surged as a great number of semi-demonised practitioners revealed themselves.

  Resembling wild beasts congregating by the side of their king, they closely followed after the ‘Phoenix Demon’, Shao Fengting.

  Seeing Lu Ming and the others appearing before them, a bloodthirsty, brutal air could be felt from these semi-demonised practitioners.

  Looking at Lu Ming, Shao Fengting tilted his head slightly, “Still, your three clans having joined hands to attack the western domain, how would you have lost just to that one Green Dragon Mountain? That’s really a bit too useless, right? While you lot are trash who dare not awaken your bloodlines, it is also the same for those of Green Dragon Mountain.”

  “Even if all of them awakened their bloodlines, they still shouldn’t have been able to defeat the three of you all on their own, isn’t it?”

  “Unless, there was a Green Scaly Dragon hidden in Green Dragon Mountain?”

  “Or perhaps that ‘Jade Crane’ of the Snow Crane Sect whose strength we have never been able to ascertain for sure far surpassed your predictions?”

  Shao Fengting’s gaze flickered slightly, “While it was too far away and I couldn’t say for sure even with my sensory abilities, I felt like some extremely powerful fluctuations over from the site of your battle did not come from the hands of demonic bloodline cultivators like us, instead seemingly resembling that from a qi cultivator.”

  He smiled, “Whatever the case, you’ve finally thrown yourselves into my net.”

  The silhouetted Blue Bird flapped its wings, a terrifying storm sweeping over towards Lu Ming and the others.

  Numerous streams of blue light formed a net, first enveloping and entrapping Lu Ming within.

  As Lu Ming’s expression changed slightly, he heard Shao Fengting say, “Senior apprentice-brother, I’ll keep you alive first. You’ll still be of use later when I return to your clan to deal with the Blue Bird there.”
