”You do recognize treasures,” Zhu Qingshuang stood up and said softly.

The man in blue said, ”I’ve heard that the Red Moon Ancient Zither is a supreme treasure of the Phantom Sound Pavilion. I’ve long wanted to experience it.”

”Then today you shall have your wish.”

After a brief exchange, the man in blue gathered spiritual energy in his palm, and a blue light flickered within.

Zhu Qingshuang picked up the zither and gracefully flew away, followed unhurriedly by the man in blue.

It was not until they were dozens of miles away from the mine that Zhu Qingshuang stopped, turned around, and saw the sphere of light from the man’s palm suddenly shooting towards her.

Like a bolt of lightning cutting through the sky, it moved extremely fast.

Zhu Qingshuang swiftly retreated, dodging the attack. The sphere of light struck a nearby hill, piercing straight through it.

Zhu Qingshuang immediately sat down cross-legged, her fingertips stroking the zither strings. The sounds of the zither instantly transformed into blades and spears, swords and halberds, embodying endless murderous intent.

Ye Haochuan saw the man in blue, his brows furrowed tightly. He could feel that this man’s aura was no less formidable than Zhu Tian’s, and definitely that of a Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage master.

Even though Zhu Qingshuang had the Red Moon Ancient Zither as a powerful weapon, crossing such a level gap was not so simple.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Zhu Tian was already accompanying Chen Yushan to the Imperial Capital. Even if Ye Haochuan wanted to find help for Zhu Qingshuang, it was no longer possible.

At this point, the only option was to kill Duanmu Xiang first and then go to help!

With this thought, Ye Haochuan wasted no more time and directly confronted Duanmu Xiang.

At some point, Duanmu Xiang had acquired a massive axe. He swung it around and said, ”Elder Gou was killed by you, wasn’t he?”

Ye Haochuan unleashed a swath of talisman swords and set up the King Yama Sword Formation, speaking sternly, ”So what if it was?”

Your Sun Moon Alliance killed more than ten members of our Long Alliance, this is just me getting back some interest!

Duanmu Xiang simply nodded and said indifferently, ”That’s good. It saves me the trouble of finding someone else.”

During the conversation, Duanmu Xiang swung his gigantic axe, a cold gleam fell from the sky, cutting a long crack into the earth.

Ye Haochuan’s freshly set up King Yama Sword Formation was easily broken by a wave of Duanmu Xiang’s hand. Shaking his head, he said, ”It seems these talisman swords really aren’t very useful.”

Duanmu Xiang, being at the Innate Peak, normal talisman instruments had no effect on him.

Thus, Ye Haochuan summoned a Flying Sword, which Duanmu Xiang recognized immediately.

”I’ve heard you stole Elder Gou’s treasure. You dare use it so openly!” Duanmu Xiang’s tone was very sharp.

Ye Haochuan remained unconcerned: ”So what? He tried to steal my treasure and failed because he was not skilled enough, naturally, he had to leave something behind.”

”Besides, both of us are disciples of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect. You kill openly and without hesitation, what’s wrong if I take someone’s treasure?”

This remark greatly displeased Duanmu Xiang and made him uneasy, as such actions were indeed dishonorable. If the matter spread, the Ancient Martial Arts Sect would certainly not spare him.

Duanmu Xiang decided not to speak further with Ye Haochuan, to avoid disturbing his own focus. He swiftly charged forward, swinging his gigantic axe at the Flying Sword.

”Clang!”

The Flying Sword emitted a loud, violent clang and was knocked away.

Duanmu Xiang released the full force of his Innate Peak aura, every hair on end, his Gang Qi constantly vibrating.

He was just one step away from stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Although there is only one realm difference between Innate Late Stage and Peak, the actual difference in strength is vast.

Thus, Duanmu Xiang was confident that Ye Haochuan was no match for him!

After repelling the Flying Sword, Duanmu Xiang charged directly at Ye Haochuan, his momentum unstoppable, like a force of nature.

Ye Haochuan immediately launched the Nine Tyrant Dragons Fist!

”Dragon Roaming Vast Seas!”

With a massive roar, a True Dragon formed of Innate Gang Qi stretched across the void, roaring continuously. With a swipe of its claw, it flew towards Duanmu Xiang.

”Mountain Opening Axe!”

With a low shout, Duanmu Xiang wielded the mighty axe with a mountain-cleaving force.

The axe light tore through the heavens, splitting the Gang Qi-transformed True Dragon in two with a single strike; the True Dragon roared and instantly vanished into the void.

”Dragon Fighting in the Sea!”

”Dragon Soaring in the Sky!”

...

Ye Haochuan continuously unleashed the Nine Tyrant Dragons Fist, like a War God possessing his body, enveloped in a faint layer of light.

The sky echoed with the sound of a dragon’s chant, as the True Dragon danced.

However, Duanmu Xiang, wielding a giant axe, was unstoppable, shattering Ye Haochuan’s techniques with every strike.

This is the power of the Innate Peak!

Seeing Duanmu Xiang advancing relentlessly, Ye Haochuan naturally didn’t take it lightly; he had his trump cards, but he did not use them.

First, because Zhu Qingshuang didn’t need his help yet, and second, because he also wanted to see just how big the gap was between the Innate Late Stage and the Innate Peak.

”Go!”

Ye Haochuan once again controlled the Flying Sword, slashing sword lights, while simultaneously summoning the Strange Fire King Cauldron, which hovered overhead as he fought forward.

”Clang clang clang!”

In just a moment, the two were locked in fierce combat, with sparks flying and Gang Qi soaring to the sky.

...

Elsewhere, Huo Mengyao, accompanied by Hong Yi and three other Innate Mid-Stage cultivators, was also barely holding their own against three Innate Late Stage cultivators from Sun Moon Alliance, slightly aided by Hong Yi’s formation.

Zhu Qingshuang’s battle with the person in green had reached a fierce stage, the music of the Red Moon Ancient Zither becoming increasingly urgent and murderous.

Zhu Qingshuang’s complexion was also increasingly pale, struggling from the frequent consumption of spiritual energy.

After all, she was at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage and would not have lasted long if not for the Red Moon Ancient Zither.

The higher the cultivation, the bigger the gap between boundaries—a timeless truth!

”The Red Moon Ancient Zither is indeed powerful!”

Eyes ablaze with fervor, the person in green exclaimed after dodging many deadly music attacks.

”It’s a pity. Although you possess a supreme treasure, you do not understand how to use it; otherwise, you wouldn’t lose to me.”

He spoke the truth; Zhu Qingshuang couldn’t truly control the Red Moon Ancient Zither.

His gaze, burning intensely, lingered on the Red Moon Ancient Zither: ”A fine sword should be gifted to a hero; such a treasure is simply wasted on you!”

With that, the person in green condensed a bolt of lightning and hurled it forward.

”Crack!”

Thunder roared, and lightning illuminated the night sky, striking Zhu Qingshuang.

”Pfft!”

Zhu Qingshuang was blown back, spitting out a mouthful of blood, which fell on the Red Moon Ancient Zither. The originally beautiful body of the zither suddenly emitted a bloody glow, appearing even more enchanting.

Zhu Qingshuang furrowed her brows and plucked the strings again.

”Ding-ding~~~”

The melody resumed, yet it sounded exceedingly eerie. Seeing a wave of sound attacking, the person in green prepared to counter, but then a streak of bloody light flashed by.

”Chirp~~~”

A bird chirped alarmingly, a Blood Bathed Phoenix suddenly materialized from the sound wave!

Surrounding flames blazed fiercely, and the phoenix illuminated the entire sky like a red sun, rolling over towards the person in green.

An indescribable terror pervaded the air, even altering the person in green’s complexion.

Even Zhu Qingshuang hadn’t anticipated that this strike would be so overwhelmingly formidable!
