Chapter 927

: Release Her
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Jun Mengchen was completely enraged. He enveloped himself in king’s armor, invoking his Clear Skies Worldly Diagram. His strikes were deadly, each imbued with the aura of a king. However, when facing up against a group attack by three eighth-level ascendants, he still fell short of the mark. They were all disciples or descendants of immortal kings or emperors. Their innate techniques and cultivation arts were all of the supreme tier—it was already a difficult feat to jump levels to win against others, let alone facing off against three opponents at the same time. Jun Mengchen fought valiantly, but he had no way to break through the encirclement. Not only that, the ninth-level ascendant who’d fought with Zi Qingxuan earlier was now waiting by the side, as though preparing to land in a sneak attack at any moment.
Tu Teng slowly approached the injured Zi Qingxuan. Every step he took caused the ground to tremble, but he observed that Zi Qingxuan’s eyes still reflected an unwavering ferocity. He couldn’t help but remark coldly,
You shouldn’t be so quick to take out an immortal-ranked weapon. I won’t kill you; I only want to capture you. But if you choose to arm yourself, I can’t guarantee what happens next.

Zi Qingxuan’s beautiful eyes flashed, her face twisting with distaste as she retreated a few steps back.

You and your friend are quite strong, and it must have been difficult to resist this long. Sadly, there’s no point in struggling, so just leave here with me. Given how beautiful you are, we won’t torture you.
Tu Teng’s silhouette flickered, moving closer to Zi Qingxuan. Her body continued to glow, as though rejecting Tu Teng’s offer. And upon seeing this, Tu Teng snorted coldly before blasting out his palms in attack, his strikes as sharp as the gigantic axe. His palm imprint ripped through Zi Qingxuan’s defenses, with one hit successfully seizing her.

If you still wish to resist, then don’t blame me for treating a woman without mercy,
Tu Teng said coldly. He glanced at Jun Mengchen and spoke to the ninth-level ascendant who was watching on the side,
Quickly take him down.


Five against two, and both of them with lower cultivation bases? Do you even know shame?
A distant voice cut the air, spoken from among the spectators.

Who the hell are you? You’d best not interfere in our matters.
Tu Teng turned to the person who spoke. It was a lanky young man with handsome-looking features. He had a calm expression on his face, but his eyes gave off a sense of strangeness. For some reason, Tu Teng felt that the young man’s eyes were almost hypnotic, like a whirling vortex trapping one’s gaze.
Zi Qingxuan was captured by Tu Teng. She stared at the newcomer as recognition flashed in her eyes. She actually knew this person! And to think, he was speaking up for them at this moment.
In response to Tu Teng’s words, the silhouette of the young man flickered as he whistled through the air, joining Jun Mengchen’s battle. His eyes gleamed with a terrifying light, emanating a peculiar sensation. They were like samsara eyes; when he gazed at them, the three eighth-level ascendants surrounding Jun Mengchen all felt countless scenes appearing in their minds, causing their attacks to turn sluggish.

Be careful of his eyes!
Tu Teng roared. The three of them instantly closed their eyes, their hearts trembling. Yet despite doing this, the scenes in their minds continued to play out, and they sank deep into an illusion-scape.
This newcomer was none other than Hua Taixu.
-BOOM!- Jun Mengchen saw his opportunity and unleashed a chaotic world king fist, sending one of the enemies flying through the air. He rushed at Tu Teng with a roar,
RELEASE MY SENIOR SISTER!

Tu Teng glanced at Jun Mengchen and then Hua Taixu. Hua Taixu’s eyes were now extremely eerie to look at; the remaining eighth-level ascendants both turned quiet after he’d looked at them, standing fixed and unmoving.

Tu Teng, what’s going on? Why have you not captured them yet?
Several figures had flown over. The man leading the group was none other than a very powerful expert from the previous Xiao Sect, Xia Qianhan, who was ranked in the Immortal Ascension Rankings.

There’s only one more target left,
Tu Teng stared at Jun Mengchen as he replied. He then continued,
What’s the point of a futile struggle? The gap between us is too large, and even your helper is only at the eighth-level of Celestial Phenomenon, his strength isn’t enough for me to feel dread.


Release her.
Another icy voice cut through the air. Tu Teng furrowed his brows, and after a moment, he saw two figures wrapped in wind in the distance, moving swiftly towards them at an alarming speed.

SENIOR BROTHER!
Jun Mengchen shouted. Tu Teng and Xia Qianhan, and the other members of the new Twin Stars Alliances immediately looked grim when they realized who the two figures were. Qin Wentian and Princess Qing`er had both appeared. This matter had just become very troublesome. Qing`er is ranked #5 in the Immortal Ascension Rankings and had managed to defeat Xiao Lengyue before. They knew they couldn’t win against her.

I said, release her.
Qin Wentian stared at Tu Teng.
Seeing Qin Wentian’s piercing stare, Tu Teng’s eyes shone with a reckless light.
Qin Wentian, I heard you’ve comprehended the God’s Hand. I wish to fight against you, will you accept?


I will grant your wish.

As Qin Wentian’s voice faded, rumbling sounds rang out as his body expanded. His entire body flowed with a resplendent runic glow as his palms shimmered with a dazzling light. As the God’s Hand was assembled, a brutal aura of invincibility radiated out from him in waves. As to why Qin Wentian chose to grow larger in size, it was to achieve better synergy of the God’s Hand.

Help guard her.
Tu Teng passed Zi Qingxuan to Xia Qianhan and the rest. A sharp sword appeared and then placed on Zi Qingxuan’s neck while Xia Qianhan spoke to Tu Teng,
We should retreat now.


No. How can I leave without first experiencing the power of the God’s Hand?
Tu Teng’s constellation appeared, and a gigantic great axe materialized in his hand. Stepping forward, he stared straight at Qin Wentian.
-BOOM!- Tu Teng moved, and as he unleashed his Sky Opening Axe Technique, a beam of light descended from the heavens, splitting apart the earth and sky. Boundless axe light arced towards Qin Wentian, on the verge of cleaving him into two.
Qin Wentian’s palm suddenly blasted outwards. The terrifying gigantic palm slammed towards the Open Sky Great Axe, exploding loudly upon impact, and the entire beam of axe light was snuffed out. Qin Wentian dashed forth with the speed of a wind roc, his palm shimmering with runic light as he swiped it across the air. The pressure generated was so great that a single strike was enough to destroy Tu Teng’s earlier confidence.
Tu Teng turned ashen, the astral light from his constellation quickly covered him in a protective layer, He spun into a spiral and blasted out with his palms, trying to negate Qin Wentian’s attack. A deafening sound erupted out, and Tu Teng felt close to imploding—who knew how many bones he had broken in that clash?
Qin Wentian appeared in front of him, stabbing him with a finger imbued with the power of the God’s Hand. This sword finger attack was tyrannical to the extreme, directly piercing into Tu Teng’s bulky body. At that moment, Tu Teng felt the overpowering sword qi invading his body, and with a scream of agony, he fell from the air instantly, slamming savagely onto the ground. He was somehow still alive, but his inner organs were wrecked, his aura fluctuating weakly.

What a powerful secret art. Qin Wentian’s strength has significantly improved with his ascension into the eighth-level of Celestial Phenomenon. Although Tu Teng is also ranked on the Immortal Ascension Rankings, he couldn’t withstand a single attack.
The experts present were in awe, the battle had been too overwhelming. With a simple strike, Qin Wentian had shorn away half of Tu Teng’s health. Evidently, Qin Wentian was angered at seeing Tu Teng manhandling Zi Qingxuan.
In this case, Tu Teng clearly needed to spend at least a year recovering from today’s injuries.

God’s Hand, a lost secret art.
There weren’t many witnesses to the battle between Qin Wentian and Xuan Yang. To see how domineering the God’s Hand could be, it was impossible not to covet such a technique. Who didn’t want to have such a powerful secret art?
Hua Taixu was also somewhat taken aback; he had a strange expression on his face as he stared at Qin Wentian and Qing`er. These two had also come from his particle world,but they had gone through a meteoric rise in power in the City of Ancient Emperors.
Qin Wentian’s attacks had always been formidable, but with the God’s Hand, his strikes were more devastating than before.
Qin Wentian stared at Xia Qianhan, his eyes gleaming with sharpness as he icily spoke,
Release her.


If you want to rescue her, then I’m afraid you’ll have to accompany us on a little trip to the Twin Stars Alliance,
Xia Qianhan replied, still gripping onto Zi Qingxuan. He was displeased to see Qin Wentian’s strength. When Qin Wentian initially joined the Xiao Sect, he’d been filled with disdain for the newbie. But with the God’s Hand, Qin Wentian’s strength now far surpassed his own.

If you don’t release her immediately, you won’t be going anywhere,
Qin Wentian retorted.

Does her life mean so little to you?
Xia Qianhan remarked, eyeing Qing`er.

If you touch her, I will take your life.
Qin Wentian stepped forward. Terrifying spatial energy fluctuated around Qing`er as the two of them moved towards Xia Qianhan and his cronies. With each step closer, Xia Qianhan and the others felt their hearts clench with trepidation.

Release them. I can guarantee your safe withdrawal. I’ve already revealed myself, so Xuan Yang is welcome to find me at any time. If your Twin Stars Alliance insists on using this method, I won’t be held responsible for killing all of you without mercy,
Qin Wentian coldly spoke. No one doubted his words; this was a man who had dared to publicly kill Xuan Xing after all. Qin Wentian had already proven that he was capable of madness.
-BOOM!- Taking another step forward, Qin Wentian and Qing`er walked side by side, weighing down Xia Qianhan with a tremendous amount of pressure. To let go or not to let go?

Do you not care whether she lives or dies?
The sharp edge of the sword left a trail of blood on Zi Qingxuan’s throat.

Is this how the geniuses of the Twin Stars Alliance conducts themselves?
Qin Wentian coldly asked.
If I let you take my junior apprentice sister back to your Twin Stars Alliance, who knows what will happen? I will definitely not agree to this. If you persist, and this ends up as a situation where all the fishes perish and the net breaks, then by all means, carry on. I guarantee your lives will be traded in for her death.

Xia Lenghan had completely tensed, his aura gushing out as Qin Wentian and Qing`er continued to draw closer. Qin Wentian’s palms shimmered with a lethal light as he activated the God’s Hand, and Qing`er was enveloped by a fearsome spatial energy.

Qingxuan, if they kill you, I swear I will bury all of them together with you.
A pair of golden wings formed behind Qin Wentian and he soared into the air, preparing to commence a battle to the death.
Zi Qingxuan stared at Qin Wentian and calmly replied,
Do it.

Xia Qianhan trembled at her words.

Wait…I will release her!
Xia Qianhan turned ashen. The moment he saw Qin Wentian preparing to attack with the God’s Hand, he immediately decided to relent.
But you must dissipate the energy of the God’s Hand first.


I agree,
Qin Wentian spoke, instantly complying. Upon seeing Qin Wentian’s palms return to normal, Xia Qianhan released Zi Qingxuan, not daring to test Qin Wentian’s words.
Qin Wentian’s whereabouts were exposed. If Xuan Yang wanted revenge, there was nothing to stop him from doing so. Although Xia Qianhan wasn’t well-disposed towards Qin Wentian, he wasn’t about to gamble his life away!
