Chapter 995 The first clues appear

"Well?"

The battlefield was beyond description; every place, both above and below ground, had been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, leaving it in utter chaos.

The earth's crust is interspersed with messy clouds and ribbon-like bands of gravel floating high in the sky.

The void was filled with the intent and spirit of fists, where you are in me and I am in you, as well as demonic energy and atmosphere. Sometimes sparks would fly, or sometimes they would instantly brew into an uncontrollable hurricane.

The four Heavenly Sects participating in the battle are: the demon race's 'Deceitful Demon' and 'Tiger Blade' Tiger Corpse, and the martial artists' 'Cloud Eyebrows' Yuan Fazhu and Great Gentleman.

The four fought fiercely, causing the sun and moon to lose their light, mountains and rivers to flee, and the celestial phenomena and geography to become disordered.

But the more they fought, the more shocking the scene became for the martial artists.

The tiger corpse did not weaken; instead, it grew stronger with each battle, its strength and realm increasing at a speed that defied common sense.

Originally, the four Heavenly Sect level experts were on the same level. They borrowed the weapon master and the tiger corpse to join forces against Yuan Fazu and Dajunzi.

Whether it was Yuan Fazhu or Da Junzi, they could fight back and forth evenly when exchanging the tiger corpses of their enemies.

But gradually, fighting the tiger corpses became more difficult than borrowing troops.

If it continues to evolve...

Tiger Corpse alone can fight against Yuan Fazhu and Da Junzi working together, with the occasional assistance of a borrowed soldier.

Until now, without the help of a division, it can steadily suppress the combined attack of the two great gentlemen.

It should be noted that the Great Gentleman and Yuan Fazhu did not originally cooperate. When they fought together, there was always an extreme of adjustment and familiarity. Later, when their cooperation level was high and their attack power was stronger, they became increasingly unable to defeat the Tiger Corpse.

"Just as my master said, Yin Dao's talent is even greater than his; he has such potential with only half a demon corpse!"

Yun Zhongmei, the Dharma Ancestor, shook his head and sighed, "If we cannot stop the tiger corpse today, there will be widespread suffering and chaos throughout the world!"

He gripped the staff and thrust it toward the tiger corpse's heart. A tiger claw loomed in front of him, and with a flick of his sharp, long fingernails, he effortlessly traced the trajectory of thousands of steel blades executing exquisite moves.

The blades clashed together, forming a net, and collided with the deadly moves of the staff, creating a clanging sound.

A feeling of suffocation washed over him, and Yuan Fazhu fought and retreated, a gentle breeze blowing past his ear.

The Great Gentleman swung his Hun Tian Axe and slashed down from mid-air, the huge arc covering most of the tiger corpse's body, aiming to strike its vital back.

"Boom!"

An iron rod stood upright; it turned out to be the tail of a tiger corpse, its power no less than that of the eyebrow-level staff, blocking the sharpness of the Hun Tian Axe.

The tiger corpse sneered, its body suddenly expanding, and its power surged again, forcing both the Great Gentleman and Yuan Fazu back.

"You two are both juniors. Even if you are included in the Heavenly Sect, you are no match for me!"

The tiger carcass licked the blood that had rolled down its shoulder, when suddenly it noticed an unusual fluctuation rising in the sky.

Is someone breaking through the Human Sect?
Not only the tiger corpse, but also the treacherous demon's borrowed troops, as well as the Great Gentleman and Yuan Fazu, whose offensive was thwarted, all noticed it and turned their gazes in that direction at the same time.

It's really strange that someone could break through to the Grandmaster level on the battlefield.

Tiger Corpse then laughed, "What a fine little brat! He wasn't wrong to think highly of me."

The moment one advances to the Grandmaster level, the soaring aura not only includes one's own vital energy and essence, but also the characteristics of the fist technique, as well as the aura attributes created by personal experiences, and so on.

Tiger Corpse only needed a glance to realize that the person who had broken through to the Grandmaster level was none other than... Hungry Tiger Zhou You.

Indeed, no matter how many disguises Zhou You wore, in the eyes of the tiger corpse, he was just that little tiger who had slipped through the Great Yin Mountain.

It could also tell that Zhou You had abandoned the Beast-mimicking Fist Technique and stopped practicing Tiger Fist in order to avoid the demon race's sequence restraint, but it didn't care at all.

Tiger Corpse itself has a knack for 'utilizing' things; picking it up at the right time and discarding it at the right moment is always progress. "Haha, what a good omen!"

The tiger corpse is about to undertake the most important event of its life, which is the regret of its first half of life and will determine its fate in the second half.

Just then, Zhou You's breakthrough seemed to be a premonition, giving it a firm reason to persevere.

If even a mere brat can get this far, how can I, who have put in so much effort, lose?
"No need to see me off, you are not my opponents!"

The tiger corpse took a deep breath, its body expanding to a height of a million meters, making the other three appear as insignificant as dust.

Its upper body almost reaches the sky, making its massive body appear exceptionally lonely and isolated!
The next moment, the tiger corpse bowed towards the southern border, as if pushing down a mountain of gold or toppling a jade pillar.

"Oh no, it's going to..."

Upon seeing this posture, Yuan Fazhu recalled a secret technique his master had mentioned: opening the Heavenly Gate.

As the tiger corpse bowed, its body gradually faded into the air, slowly dissipating.

The Hun Tian Axe unleashed a cold light that pierced through the heavens and earth, directly bypassing the massive body of the tiger corpse. Surprisingly, the target neither blocked nor dodged, but instead created a ripple.

The axe flashed, and the tiger's corpse vanished.

"He has already intruded into the southern border. I'm sorry, I can't stay any longer. I must inform my master about this!"

Yuan Fazhu had no time to explain. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Great Gentleman, and without even paying attention to the borrowed troops, he turned around and returned to the Southern Frontier.

Only the Great Gentleman and the Borrowing Army remained, and after a brief pause, they resumed their battle.

"Borrowing troops, the tiger's corpse is gone, why aren't you leaving? What are you waiting for?"

"Just as I suspected, the tiger corpse is also one of your methods to cover up the truth. In reality, you have other plans?"

"Guess? I've heard that the Great Gentleman is always intelligent; he'll surely know!"

The officer who borrowed the troops simply smiled faintly and did not answer his question.

This is a rocky, crooked area with several magnificent buildings that have been destroyed, leaving only the corners of the walls.

The ruins alone suggest that a tall and magnificent city once stood on the ground.

However, the dust had not yet completely settled, leaving only a large area of ​​ruins.

"Mu Xiangtong, what are you escorting?"

"Also, before leaving Dijing, you were only at the mid-stage of the Strong Martial Realm, but just now you displayed strength comparable to the Earth Sect Master, and your fight with me was evenly matched. What kind of extraordinary encounter did you have?"

"Furthermore, the aura emanating from you is similar to, yet not quite, demonic energy, but of a higher level. Where does it originate?"

Zhou Nanwang, who had not shown himself for a long time, was looking at the unexpectedly powerful enemy in front of him, Mu Xiangtong.

The Mu clan of Dijing has long been extinct, and only a handful of its members have escaped. Mu Xiangtong is one of them.
Originally, this person's strength was 'insignificant' and he was not considered by many high-ranking officials.

Even if they knew he had infiltrated the demon race to survive, no one cared. But this time, Zhou Nanwang rushed to the border to intercept the military strategist's plot to transport troops.

There were no other powerful demons or experts, only Mu Xiangtong, and his strength had increased dramatically, possessing formidable power at the Earth Sect level.

“Zhou Nanwang, your adopted son Zhou Daqian ransacked my Mu family’s old residence and killed countless family members.”

Mu Xiangtong spoke words filled with hatred, but her expression, demeanor, and aura all carried an ethereal and otherworldly quality.

Strands of hair and the corners of clothing defy gravity and float in mid-air, as light as water plants in a river.
