Inverted Five Elements Heaven-Slaying City!

These seven words reached Huangfu Qing’s ears, making his whole body turn cold.

This ancient city was utterly silent, not a soul in sight!

Towering and majestic, it gave people an eerie sensation that made their hair stand on end.

"This city was forged by a Five Elements Celestial Realm powerhouse, infused with the power of the five elements, reversed in order, and made to kill to the extreme; it’s divided into two layers inside: True Lord and Myriad Phenomena!"

"All the True Lords from Daqian are inside!"

Li Wang let out a cold laugh: "A ninety-nine percent chance they’ll be wiped out!"

Huangfu Qing’s body trembled!

So ruthless!

"As for the Myriad Phenomena Realm, Xu Yang might have a chance to break through!"

"What are you planning?" Huangfu Qing blurted out.

"So it’s true you have a grudge against him!"

Li Wang gave Huangfu Qing a playful glance.

Huangfu Qing made no attempt to hide it: "It’s a fight to the death!"

Li Wang said nothing and walked toward Heaven-Slaying City.

Drawing near.

Huangfu Qing saw several corpses on the ground.

He even recognized one of them.

A True Lord from Daqian!

Didn’t even enter the city, and was slain outside.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!

A group of Martial Artists shot out from the city.

There were dozens.

Huangfu Qing looked up. Among them, only four or five were as young as Li Wang, the rest were all middle-aged or elderly. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

This Spirit Realm versus Daqian hunt didn’t send only the prodigies!

Every single one was Myriad Manifestations Realm Perfection, and most made Huangfu Qing’s heart race with dread.

This was just the tip of the iceberg among Spirit Realm’s top talents.

"Li Wang, why did you bring a Daqian Martial Artist back?"

The young man in the middle looked at Huangfu Qing and frowned slightly.

Li Wang replied indifferently, "He’s defected to me."

"Hm?"

"He’s got skill. He can be a True Disciple in my Bright Mirror Grotto Heaven. Plus, he’s given me some crucial information!"

"What information?"

Everyone grew curious at once.

"Daqian’s Crown Prince. Daqian’s top prodigy!"

"Lv Taisong, Jun Yaotian, Lingxu—all of them are dead. Five joined forces and were easily slain by Daqian’s Crown Prince!"

"Even I had to run at first glance!"

"What? Impossible!"

Exclamations burst forth, and some people pulled out their Communication Spirit Jade to verify.

"Nothing’s impossible."

Li Wang stared at Shi Haoting and said flatly, "Among the prodigies participating in this hunt, you and I are the strongest, but neither of us is a match for him!"

Brillance flashed in Shi Haoting’s eyes, his expression incredulous.

But Li Wang would never joke about this kind of thing.

After all, he openly admitted being scared off.

That was seriously humiliating.

"Does Daqian really have such a prodigy?"

"The Crown Prince of Daqian—his status speaks for itself. It’s not impossible for him to have such strength."

"I checked. Damn, it’s really true!"

"He fought his way through more than a hundred thousand miles alone."

"And thanks to him, most of Daqian’s Myriad Phenomena Realm Martial Artists are still alive."

An uproar spread among them, moving all present!

Someone couldn’t help but say, "If even Li Wang and Shi Haoting can’t beat him, then even this Inverted Five Elements Heaven-Slaying City may not be able to trap him!"

"What do we do now?"

"Why don’t we all go at him together?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the dozens nearby frowned and stared at him, making him give an awkward smile.

The rule is one-on-one!

If you provoke someone directly, numbers are fine.

But for a crowd of them to attack one Daqian person?

Never mind rules—it’s a total loss of face.

"Pick someone else."

Li Wang said gloomily.

"Who?"

"He just arrived in the Spirit Realm and already declared he’d challenge the top prodigies of the three great sacred lands and four great clans!"

"Then let’s grant his wish!"

"I can call Miss Lan from Bright Mirror Grotto Heaven."

Li Wang said calmly.

"Miss Lan? Isn’t that a bit too much credit for him?" someone muttered involuntarily.

Light flickered in Shi Haoting’s eyes. He said slowly, "Li Wang, just because you lost doesn’t mean I will!"

He was ranked twelfth, a bit stronger than Li Wang.

The tenth and eleventh are both True Lords!

Li Wang paused, then shook his head with a wry smile. "If you don’t believe me, go try it for yourself!"

Shi Haoting said, "When he gets here, I’ll test him myself!"

"If I lose, I’ll let Shi Hu take over!"

"The number one prodigy of the War King Clan... That should be enough."

"If Shi Hu acts... tsk tsk, even if Xu Yang is unprecedented, there are still more cards to play."

"Exactly! The Shi siblings together—even if Shi Hu isn’t enough, there’s Stone Jade. That won’t break the rules!"

Everyone’s eyes lit up at these words.

Li Wang nodded slightly. If he really brought in Miss Lan from Bright Mirror Grotto Heaven, she might not be available.

"They’re here."

Huangfu Qing suddenly cried in a low voice.

Everyone looked over together.

In the distant mountains, three figures appeared in the sky.

The trio was followed closely by hundreds more shadows.

They were the rest of Daqian’s Myriad Phenomena Martial Artists, all catching up.

Because of Xu Yang’s efforts, only about a tenth had fallen.

A hint of wariness flashed in Li Wang’s eyes as he slowly turned around.

"Come on, let’s go take a look."

Shi Haoting grinned and walked into the air.

Dozens faced hundreds.

Yet the invisible momentum made every Daqian Martial Artist’s heart pound, almost suffocating them.

"It’s been five hundred thousand li—if it weren’t for Mr. Xu, we’d all be dead by now. But now there are so many people and such a bizarre ancient city; I’m afraid..."

"This is going to be real trouble."

"Wait, isn’t that Huangfu Qing? What’s he doing over there?"

"Damn, did he go over to the Spirit Realm side?"

"That bastard! Huangfu Qing is shameless!"

"Is this the number one prodigy of Wuhou Hall?"

Everyone glared at Huangfu Qing with anger.

In the crowd, Gon Lang’s face darkened.

He looked at Huangfu Qing, opened his mouth, then gave a bitter smile.

Huangfu Qing, oh Huangfu Qing, do you really think defecting to the Spirit Realm guarantees your safety?

He couldn’t help but look at Xu Yang, hesitated, then stepped forward: "Mr. Xu, it was my suggestion to let Huangfu Qing go. I warned him, but... I was wrong!"

Xu Yang replied unconcerned: "If he’s defected, he’s defected. Whatever should be done, Can Sutian will handle it—it has nothing to do with me!"

After speaking, he paused, then looked at everyone behind him: "I’m not qualified to shelter everyone. If defecting lets Huangfu Qing survive, maybe some of you can as well!"

"Also, even if you live, I have no ties to Daqian. Your choices are none of my business!"

With these words, everyone’s expressions changed again and again.

If defecting means survival...

Plenty started thinking about it.

"You are Xu Yang? Daqian’s Crown Prince?"

A questioning voice sounded out.

Xu Yang looked up, replying indifferently, "Yes, but I’m no Daqian Crown Prince."

Shi Haoting smiled slightly: "Whether you admit it or not, it doesn’t matter!"

"This is the final stage of the hunt!"

"If you can survive this Inverted Five Elements Heaven-Slaying City, you can go straight to Cangyue Mountain, with no one to stop you!"

All eyes went to the towering ancient city, heavy with apprehension.

The name alone sent chills down their spine!

"By the way, all the True Lords from Daqian are still trapped inside. Not one has gotten out yet." Li Wang added playfully, "Of course, the Myriad Phenomena ones are much weaker. Maybe you’ll have a chance."

With those words, everyone’s face changed dramatically!

Shi Haoting stared at Xu Yang: "If you can beat me, I’ll make the decision that you don’t have to enter the Inverted Five Elements Heaven-Slaying City; or, if you’re willing to join my War King Clan, there’ll be no further obstacles!"

Li Wang’s face changed at that: "Shi Haoting, so that was your plan all along!"

"Damn you, don’t forget—he’s Daqian’s Crown Prince!"
