Targeting the Golden-Winged Peng
“Heavenly Divine Mountain’s matters don’t need your opinion. It’s better if you all take care of yourselves!” Yun Jinhai pressed forward, his face carrying a sneer of contempt.
“Gosh, I remember that yesterday, I slapped a bastard until he coughed out large mouthfuls of blood. Today, he still dares to challenge me!” Kong Qiuji said. The peacock’s might was fully displayed.
Golden light surged, and feathers fell like snow. They filled the sky and scattered down golden radiance, looking extremely resplendent. Yun Jinhai’s killing intent overflowed into the heavens, but there was no anger on his face. There was only a wave of coldness.
He didn’t say anything. He opened his mouth and spat out a small green flag. With a flap of the wind, it quickly enlarged, appearing in his hands. It fluttered about, and green multicolored light surged, shaking the heavens.
Even supreme experts felt their blood go cold, and they couldn’t help but back up. Everyone felt a type of pressure, and all of them became quiet, no longer saying anything.
What kind of weapon was this? The flagpole was ice-cold as if it was cast from green metal. The great banner was simple and unadorned. There were a few stars on the banner’s surface that were dyed in black tainted blood.
This weapon was a bit strange. The fluctuations were so powerful that it threatened everyone. Even supreme experts shivered inwardly. The power of this banner spread and was extremely horrifying.
Everyone realized that if this wasn’t a holy artifact, then it was a divine magical artifact. It was ridiculously powerful, and killing supreme experts wasn’t an issue!
Yun Jinhai previously lost a battle, and today, he came for revenge. With this weapon in hand, he wanted to suppress and kill the evil peacock.
“Kong Qiuji, back then, you were quite a figure, so how can you be so ignorant now? Didn’t you always refuse to suffer losses? Today, I’m going to slap you to death!” Yun Jinhai’s words were ice-cold.
Whoosh!
Holding the green-golden flagpole, he fiercely brandished it. In that instant, heaven and earth lost light, and the sun and moon lost color. The world shook and rumbled intensely.
That banner fluttered about, making loud sounds. It was as if a silver river was falling, carrying with it a boundless and grand aura.
Everyone was horrified. How were they supposed to defend against this type of power? Even if supreme experts went up to face it head-on, their bodies would most likely split apart.
“Oh no, Senior Baldy is finished,” Flame Crow said with a trembling voice.
“Call me senior Kong, not Senior Baldy,” Kong Qiuji said calmly. He didn’t seem to care at all about the great banner that was being brandished.
He had lived in Stone Village for such a long time. He had seen the Willow Deity, so he was well aware of its transcendence. It definitely surpassed everyone else. Toward that unfathomable level, he used the word “taboo”.
The taboo existence had arrived and was right at his side. Kong Qiuji was naturally calm and unhurried as if he was watching someone else fight. He stared at the latter party as he brandished the great banner.
The Golden Peng Race all backed up, and even the elder in the lead was no exception. His expression was serious as he avoided the great banner’s powerful fluctuations. He didn’t dare to face it head-on.
However, what left everyone stupefied was that the old handsome Kong Qiuji stood on the battlefield with his hands behind his back, his face full of arrogance. He had the style of an exceptional expert and wasn’t affected at all.
Second Baldy was pretending to be an exceptional expert. Together with his extraordinary appearance, he possessed an unmatched style. No matter how the great banner swayed, he didn’t move at all.
Boom!
The banner was raised. Large amounts of green sword radiance flew out, sweeping toward Kong Qiuji. That was enough to injure supreme experts. It was penetrating and intimidating, and even the sky surged.
Second Baldy shot him a look of disdain. He plucked a flower and peeled off its petals. He smiled, but he didn’t look like a deity or buddha. It was extremely vulgar. Yun Jinhai was so angry that he roared, and his eyes almost popped out. It was because the sword radiance was all scattered and was unable to approach Second Baldy.
“I am the reincarnation of the Peacock King of Light, impervious to all attacks. It’s difficult for weapons in the mortal world to harm me. Just back off. Your petty tricks are nothing, Second Baldy pretended to be a swindler.
“Go to hell!” Yun Jinhai didn’t believe it. The great banner moved through the air, releasing endless radiance. Green lightning flickered. It was as if a thunder god descended into this world.
Unfortunately, it was still useless. Second Baldy raised his hand, scattering the flower petals. With clanging sounds, they all smashed into the great banner, shattering the lightning.
At this moment, everyone sucked in a cold breath of air. Yun Jinhai’s golden pupils contracted. He continuously backed up, fighting back his killing intent.
“You exceeded supreme experts?!” Yun Jinhaifelt uneasy. How many people in the present world could make a breakthrough and have this type of accomplishment?
“Well, almost,” Second Baldy said humbly.
When he heard this, Yun Jinhai released a breath of relief. A vicious light appeared in his eyes again. He really wanted to keep taking action and kill this hateful peacock.
“Jinhai, stop!”
Outside the palace, a group of people walked over on plants and flowers. Their sleeves fluttered about, and they looked like immortals.
The Celestial Clan was all extremely handsome with an otherworldly temperament. This was especially the case with this group of experts who walked on flower leaves as if immortal people descended into this world.
The Heavenly Divine Mountain’s chief arrived. It was clear that this battle couldn’t continue.
“Brother Jin, you came.” Yun Canghai cupped his fists toward that old Golden Peng. He was the clan chief, Jin Luantian. His strength was terrifying, deep, and immeasurable.
Jin Luantian cupped his fists in return. He smiled calmly and said, “The Heavenly Divine Mountain has a formation left behind by an archaic divine. We came to bask in its glory.”
At that point, he waved his hand, and someone poured out divine materials from the spatial magical artifact. Multicolored light immediately shone, and auspicious multicolored light dazzled.
Yun Canghai narrowed his eyes, revealing a look of joy. “Brother Jin, that’s so kind of you. It’s hard to say who will benefit from who.”
Of the ten or so divine materials that were missing, the Golden Winged Peng Race brought five. This was definitely a great deal. When they saw that piece of blazing Yang Stone, as well as the fiery red Dragon Blood Earth and the other three divine materials, everyone became fervent.
As expected of the Golden Winged Peng bloodline, they were astonishingly intimidating. They were able to bring out so many divine materials from the treasury so soon. It was truly admirable.
Shi Hao vaguely heard the sound of swallowing in his hair. He touched the little pagoda, telling himself that it was definitely an illusion!
After exchanging some pleasantries, Yun Canghai seemed displeased. He berated his brother and said, “Jinhai, you are going too far. Why are you stirring up trouble again and again?”
“Brother, don’t you feel like we are too weak? They’re in Heavenly Divine Mountain, so are we still going to let them do as they please? What harm is there in capturing all of them?!” Yun Jinhai said with a sunken face.
“Enough, stop talking. Aren’t you scared of disappointing others? We only want to rebuild the formation and quickly leave the wasteland region. We don’t have any other intentions,” Yun Canghai said.
“Correct, it’s better if we leave as soon as possible. I want to take a look at the higher realms to see if there are Golden Peng Races as well and find our ancestor’s inheritance. It’s rumored that endless years ago, our clan had some seniors who relied on their own strength to ascend to the higher realms!” Jin Luantian said.
“The higher realms definitely have Celestial Clan’s inheritance as well. I also wish to seek profound knowledge and join the ancestral sect,” Yun Canghai said with a sigh, looking forward to it greatly.
When Shi Hao heard this, he was inwardly shaken. What was the power structure of the higher realms like? It was extremely difficult to understand. What inheritances and creatures were there? They were most likely different from this place.
“The higher realms should have our ancestral sect, but it might not be easy to find. When we truly cross realms, why don’t our two clans join hands to deal with it?” Jin Luantian said.
“Yes, when we first enter the higher realms, it’ll definitely be extremely dangerous before finding the ancestral sects. We should work together.” Yun Canghai nodded.
“What do you think of my grandson?” Jin Luantian pushed the clan’s genius, Jin Yunteng, forward. He was a handsome and outstanding young man, and his strength was astonishing. He could look down on the younger generation of the great divine mountains.
“He’s a young hero who’ll become a deity in the future,” Yun Canghai said seriously, still rather objective.
“How about we make him and Yun Xi a couple?” Jin Luantian said with a smile.
The atmosphere was a bit strange. It was rare for Second Baldy to not act cockily or stir up trouble. He only looked at Shi Hao from the corner of his eyes, saying softly, “A true man can’t tolerate this!”
Members of the Golden Winged Peng Race all had golden hair, and all of them were tall and imposing. In particular, Jin Yunteng’s appearance was even more outstanding. His face was like jade, and he was heroic and imposing.
Meanwhile, Yun Xi was beautiful, graceful, and flawless. She was like a fairy that walked out of a fairyland. Her purple clothes fluttered in the wind, and she was intelligent and otherworldly. If the two of them stood together, they really looked like a perfect couple.
Shi Hao took a step forward. Golden symbols surged beneath his feet as he displayed the Peng Race’s greatest profound mysteries. This was a provocatio. Shi Hao actually used the Peng Clan’s moving method.
He instantly arrived in front of Yun Xi and held her hand. He looked at the Peng Race and said, “This is my wife.”
Yun Xi’s snow-white face immediately blushed, and she used all of her strength to throw him off. This was too sudden, and she couldn’t take it.
People of the Golden Peng Race were all stupefied, and then they became furious. Was this a provocation? That was so arrogant! They were just about to establish a marriage alliance, yet he already called her his wife.
Even the Celestial Clan was stunned. Many people stared blankly. This brat really dared to say anything.
“Little friend, you must be joking.” An elder from the Golden Peng Race said with a mischievous smile.
“Let go.” Yun Xi said softly. Her cheeks were flushed red. She didn’t want to be held by someone in front of everyone.
“I’m not joking,” Shi Hao said to that elder. Then, he said softly to Yun Xi, “Stop fooling around. It’ll hurt the baby.”
Jin Yunteng turned around and left. Previously, he was extremely calm, but now, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
When he was in the Fire Clan’s capital, he already had his suspicions. At that time, Yun Xi held Shi Hao’s arm and rejected Jin Yunteng. Back then, he could still maintain his composure, but now, anger was engraved on his face.
“Hmph!”
The Golden Peng Race’s people all flung their sleeves, turning around to leave.
The Celestial Clan’s people also looked at Shi Hao from the corner of their eyes. Then, they looked at Yun Xi strangely. They were celestials, known as the most perfect race. Even if she liked a human, she shouldn’t have acted so rashly, right?
Yun Xi almost fainted from anger just now. Now that she recovered, she naturally felt incomparably ashamed and resentful. She reprimanded him and shook off his hand.
“Don’t get so worked up. Calm down first.” Shi Hao let go and walked over to Second Baldy. “We clearly have absolute strength, and we are in the right. Why should we let that Golden Peng Race strut around?”
Second Baldy nodded and said, “You’re right. I’ve decided to remove the Golden Winged Peng bloodline. They aren’t allowed to enter the formation, so just obediently stay in the wasteland region.”
“That’s not nice. Leave some leeway for everything. One has to be careful and leave behind a chance of survival,” Shi Hao said. He smiled and gave a suggestion. “Tell the other divine mountains that the quota is limited. Those who want to bring one more person into the formation can challenge the Peng Race. If they win, they can have one more quota. The Peng Race will be in charge of guarding the formation. The losers won’t have the chance to enter the formation.”
“Little thief, do you have a death wish?” Yun Jinhai said coldly. He had half of the Peng Race’s bloodline, so he was naturally furious.
“If you aren’t convinced, then I’ll let you guard the formation.” Shi Hao gave him a look and said, “Whether or not this formation is repaired is up to us. It’s not up to you to tell us who to let cross over.”
Everyone from the Celestial Clan was shaken. Was he really going to do that? That was so harsh!
