Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Charm Clan’s Lin Mei’er

The flying horse ridden by the Holy Flame Sect’s Saint Heir was exceptionally strong, his whole body coursing with vitality like the ocean, his muscles like sculpted lard, appearing incredibly beautiful.

After the arrival of the Holy Flame Sect, dark clouds billowed at the edge of the sky, and a group of figures dressed in black robes burst through the air.

“Black Cloud Mountain!” Seeing the arrivals, the crowd’s expression changed, many experts displaying a look of fear.

Black Cloud Mountain was not under the jurisdiction of Red Fire Country but a massive, malicious force outside its borders, often lurking at the peripheries of neighboring nations, looting and pillaging.

Its strength was such that not even Red Fire Country and its neighbors could deal with it easily, and moreover, Black Cloud Mountain had the support of the Three-Eyed River Clan.

The Three-Eyed River Clan, within the Hundred Clan, had enough power to rank in the top ten, and in terms of might, they were even stronger than the Dwarf Clan.

With the backing of the Three-Eyed River Clan, Black Cloud Mountain acted even more brazenly and arrogantly.

The comer was none other than the Young Master of Black Cloud Mountain, Chen Jianzong.

Many recognized Chen Jianzong and hastily backed away in shock.

Chen Jianzong was known for his cruelty; sometimes he killed without needing a reason, taking lives simply if he didn’t like your face or if he was in a bad mood, ready to chop you down at any moment.

After Chen Jianzong arrived, he coldly swept his eyes across the crowd, causing everyone to feel a chill in their hearts.

Just as the crowd was feeling apprehensive, suddenly, two alluring figures tore through the sky.

These two figures were both donning black veils, their sheer dresses faintly visible, exuding a tempting allure.

“Charm Clan Princess Lin Mei’er!”

The Charm Clan was just below the Elf Clan and Sky Demon Clan in strength, and along with them made up the top three clans.

Charm Clan Princess Lin Mei’er was even more so the paragon of the young generation in the Hundred Clan Empire, naturally possessing a Saint Mandate and a Fire Spirit Sword Body, her talents no less than those of Xi Luo from the Elf Clan, also one of the top ten geniuses of the young generation in the Hundred Clan Empire.

Upon seeing Lin Mei’er’s arrival, the Marquis of Red Blood, who oversaw Demon Ape Ridge in Red Fire Country, frightened his men to hurry forward and bowed respectfully: “Song Hui of Red Fire Country greets Your Highness Princess!”

The War King Prince, Holy Flame Saint Heir, and others also quickly came forward to pay their respects.

Even Chen Jianzong, who was just arrogantly posturing and carrying an air of haughtiness, stepped forward and bowed, saying, “Chen Jianzong of Black Cloud Mountain greets Your Highness Princess.”

Lin Mei’er glanced at Chen Jianzong and the others, motioning for them to rise, intending to enter Demon Ape Ridge. However, just then, her gaze suddenly caught sight of several figures flying through the sky from afar.

The young man leading them, dressed in a light blue brocade robe, captivated her attention.

This young man possessed a peculiar force that actually made her feel an immense pressure!

Lin Mei’er couldn’t help but be taken aback with curiosity.

Who was this young man who could make her, born with a Saint Mandate and a Fire Spirit Sword Body, feel such astonishing pressure?

Seeing Lin Mei’er’s unusual expression, everyone else also followed her gaze.

The arrivals were Yang Xiaotian and his group.

Seeing Lin Mei’er fixated on Yang Xiaotian, Chen Jianzong’s brow furrowed.

A princess of the Charm Clan like Lin Mei’er, with both talent and beauty, naturally had plenty of admirers, and he, having once seen her, was one of them.

Although he knew he was not worthy of her considering his status, seeing Lin Mei’er staring intently at a young man, he felt a touch of jealousy.

Yang Xiaotian had spotted Lin Mei’er and Chen Jianzong from afar.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Demon Ape Ridge, but as Yang Xiaotian and his companions were about to enter, the Marquis of Red Blood from the Red Fire Country stopped them.

The Marquis of Red Blood asked in a deep voice, “Do any of you have the Red Fire Holy Decree?”

Apart from the Sect disciples and family members permitted by the Red Fire Country, anyone else wishing to enter the Demon Ape Ridge must possess the Red Fire Holy Decree issued by the King of the Red Fire Country.

“The Red Fire Holy Decree?” Yang Xiaotian’s expression remained calm, “No.”

Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Red Blood said sternly, “Without the Red Fire Holy Decree, you may not enter the Demon Ape Ridge.” He then commanded, “Step back!” Turning to Lin Mei’er, he respectfully said, “Your Highness Princess, please!”

“What if I insist on entering?” inquired Yang Xiaotian indifferently.

The Marquis of Red Blood’s face turned cold instantly, and he sneered, “Boy, try stepping forward and see what happens.”

All the troops stationed by the Red Fire Country at Demon Ape Ridge surged forward.

Though the number of troops stationed by the Red Fire Country at Demon Ape Ridge was not large, only a thousand, each of them was a formidable warrior capable of fighting ten at a time. Many archers aimed their poisoned arrows at Yang Xiaotian and his companions.

These arrows were all coated with poison.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was blocking their path, Chen Jianzong, filled with murderous aura, shouted, “Boy, without the Red Fire Holy Decree, scram! Don’t block the Princess’s way!”

However, no sooner had he spoken than, suddenly, a figure flashed and Chen Jianzong felt a sharp pain in his throat. He was lifted off the ground by the neck, held fast by Yang Xiaotian.

Everyone was shocked to see Yang Xiaotian lifting Chen Jianzong by the neck off the ground.

Even the Marquis of Red Blood and Prince Wang, among others, were taken by surprise.

Who was Chen Jianzong? He was the Young Master of Black Cloud Mountain!

It’s not an exaggeration to say that Chen Jianzong’s status was comparable to that of a prince of the Red Fire Country. Yet this young man dared to grab him by the neck and lift him from the ground!

Chen Jianzong had not expected this young man would dare to make a move against him! Enraged, he threw a punch toward Yang Xiaotian, “Boy, you’re seeking death!”

His punch landed squarely on Yang Xiaotian’s chest.

But the moment his fist made contact with Yang Xiaotian’s chest, his expression changed dramatically, for it felt as though he had punched a terrifying wall of Divine Iron.

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking could be heard.

Chen Jianzong screamed in agony as the fingers of his right fist were shattered from the impact.

Over the years, Yang Xiaotian had diligently practiced the Primordial Dragon Art every day, come rain or shine. The defense of his Dragon Emperor’s Body was horrifically strong. It wasn’t just any Martial Ancestor like Chen Jianzong, but even the most powerful Martial Emperors, who could not injure Yang Xiaotian.

“Young Master!” The experts from Black Cloud Mountain were infuriated upon seeing this and drew their blades to strike at Yang Xiaotian.

Witnessing this, the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor’s eyes turned cold. His supreme demonic power circulated, Demonic Qi rolled about, and behind him formed the body of a Sky Demon. With an opened mouth, a terrifying force of devouring covered those experts from Black Cloud Mountain.

In the blink of an eye, the life force of the Black Cloud Mountain experts poured out wildly; all were drained into dried husks.

Seeing this, everyone gasped in shock. The Red Fire Country’s experts who had just encircled them retreated in fear, horrified as they watched the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor.

Prince Wang and the Holy Flame Sect Heir also retreated in alarm, their bodyguards watching the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor as if facing a formidable enemy.
