Chapter 101: The phoenix family
The confrontation of these two extreme masters surprised the citizens of South Sky City.
If they hadn't witnessed it, they wouldn't have believed it. Humans can actually obtain this kind of strength.
"Chu Tian, you should quickly leave!" Nangong Yi said to Chu Tian with a calm face, "The situation is really bad for you now! That old man Nangong Hai has evil intents and Ye Tianlang wants to get even with you!"
Go?
Where would he go?
Chu Tian wasn't even in the Awakened Soul Realm, how could he possibly escape from the palms of these two people? Since he couldn't leave, why would he try!
"Humph, relax City Lord. I am not that easy to deal with!"
Nangong Yi never thought that the situation would turn into this.
The Central State Four Young Masters, each one was no small deal. In the Four Great Families, they were all people with the most outstanding talent. They were people that were trained with the entire power of the families and had resources worth trillions invested in them. They were characters that had been specially trained.
Regardless of strength, power, or influence, they were all at the top of Central State!
How could Chu Tian compete?
Let alone the fact there was a Nangong Hai!
At this moment, when Nangong Hai understood Ye Tianlang's identity, he revealed a shocked expression, "I never would have thought that the Central State Ye Family would send out this kind of powerful person!"
It seemed like Ye Tianlang was weightless as he floated in the sky. He slowly landed on the ground and a moonlight white robe fluttered behind him giving off an aloof feel. In his wolf like eyes, there flashed a strange glow, "Elder Nangong Hai truly is an expert of the Nangong Family. Junior is full of admiration!"
Nangong Hai mind clearly understood.
Ye Tianlang was already giving him face.
Although Nangong Hai's cultivation base was slightly higher than Ye Tianlang's, his source spirit and talent was far off. If they really continued to fight, Nangong Hai wouldn't last more than fifty moves.
If he was defeated in front of this crowd, what face would he have left?
Nangong Hai knit his brows and asked, "Has Heavenly Wolf Young Master specially come to South Sky City just to compete with me?"
Ye Tianlang's lips rose into a monstrous smile, "I came here to discuss an alliance between the Ye and Nangong Families. The Ye Family is willing to support the Nangong Family!"
Nangong Hai's heart skipped a beat.
Ye Tianlang was a genius!
The Ye Family was a mercenary family with countless experts. If they could be on the same side as the Nangong Family, this would be a very good thing for the Nangong Family. If Nangong Hai came to Central State and accomplished this kind of good deed, wouldn't it be a large merit to the family?
"The Ye Family only has one condition."
"What condition?"
Ye Tianlang's eyes searched through the crowd, "There is a little brat here called Chu Tian. He has harmed one of the elders of my Ye Family, then he wasted seven Ye Family experts, bringing shame upon the Ye Family. He is incompatible with us like fire and water. Elder wouldn't hope for the alliance between our families to be ruined by this little character, right?"
Nangong Hai laughed, "Of course I do big things. A trivial little brat, I can certainly give him to you to punish. But this person still has some use to me so I hope you can let him live and let me take him back."
Ye Tianlang brows wrinkled, "I've already arrived! He must die!"
"Young Master Ye, please relax." Nangong Hai solemnly vowed, "You can completely waste him and never let him rise up again. Then let me take care of him from now one. Everyday he will suffer a fate worse than death. This way works too!"
"Alright!" Ye Tianlang thought that this was fine, "Then let me first break his four limbs and then break every bone in his body, then he'll never stand again. I'll let him become a useless person forever!"
"Chu Tian is right there." Nangong Hai didn't mind, "Do as you wish!"
"You definitely can't!"
Nangong Hai coldly stared at Nangong Yi who had appeared, "The Ye Family is famous in Central State. Is this single person more important than the support of the Central State Ye Family?"
"Stupid!" Nangong Yi angrily waited for Nangong Hai. He shouted out angrily, "Gravel can be found everywhere, how could it compete with a divine gem! So long as I stand today, I will not allow this matter to happen!"
Nangong Hai!
He was a huge idiot!
Did he not know that his actions had the possibility to make Chu Tian hate the Nangong Family? This was a seed that could lead to the Nangong Family's destruction!
Chu Tian was definitely capable of destroying the entire family!
He definitely could!
The Volcano Source Spirit was released.
Nangong Hai was enraged, "Nangong Yi, putting no one in your eyes, going against your elders, do you want to break the family rules? Since it's like this, this old man will teach you a lesson on behalf of the family!"
"Please appease your anger Elder Nangong!" Ye Tianlang stepped forward in the empty courtyard as he released the wild Dragon Winged Demonic Flame Wolf, "I've long heard of the might of the Nangong Family's Nangong Yi and his Volcano Source Spirit which has infinite might. I've never had a chance to compete with him, so why not today? How about I have a proper match with Mayor Nangong?"
Nangong Yi had continued to protect Chu Tian.
This could be considered an insult to the Ye Family!
Ye Tianlang wanted to take this chance to viciously teach Nangong Yi a lesson.
To let this fellow know that on the Central State territory, who had the real power!
Nangong Hai knew what Ye Tianlang was thinking, "This old man will not make a move, I'll have to trouble Heavenly Wolf Young Master!"
Nangong Yi had a desire to crack his head.
This stubborn of man!
He was truly too hateful!
The situation was very bad. With Ye Tianlang and Nangong Hai, both of them were experts of the 4th Awakened Soul Layer. Nangong Yi only had a trivial 3rd Awakened Soul Layer Void Soul strength.
There was a very large gap between the 3rd and 4th Awakened Soul Layer!
With just Nangong Yi's strength, he couldn't even beat one of them. Could he keep Chu Tian safe from two Illustrious Soul experts?
"Is Mayor Nangong prepared?"
Nangong Yi revealed a cautious expression.
"Monster Wolf Transformation! Enter into my body!"
Ye Tianlang gave a long cry and the Dragon Winged Demonic Flame Wolf Source spirit broke down into little traces of black flames. Just like an armour, it was evenly distributed across Ye Tianlang's body.
Man and wolf as one!
Spirit and body as one!
Ye Tianlang had turned into a being that was half man, half wolf. That pair of monstrous eyes had now turned more monstrous and green in colour.
"This is the Central State Ye Family's inherited cultivation technique, «Monster Wolf Transformation»?"
Whether it was the Chu Family's «Soul Sword Secret Art», or the Ye Family's «Monster Wolf Transformation», or even the Nangong Family's «Burning the Heaven Art», all of them were cultivation techniques for their family members to inherit. Not only was it easier to practice, it was also perfectly compatible to their source spirit, letting them display an even stronger battle strength.
Ye Tianlang was covered in a vicious qi, just like an ancient demonic wolf awakening. With its playful predator eyes, it stared at the prey in front of it.
Nangong Yi?
What a joke!
Ye Tianlang rushed forward like a shadow as his spirit energy was concentrated on the wolf claw on his right hand. The black claw glow hit the wall and it left behind five deep marks. It ran through the other side of the wall. They carried an imposing aura as they shot towards Nangong Yi.
Nangong Yi gathered his hands together.
"Volcanic Shield!"
It was as if the volcano had been restrained for ten thousand years, like rivers bursting forth, the power surged out. It condense into a giant and incomparable barrier.
Hong!
The black claw glow slammed against the barrier, but it didn't reach Nangong Yi behind it. Nangong Yi took this opportunity and shot a burning hot fist at Ye Tianlang.
Ye Tianlang was a little startled but his left hand also shot out!
The fists of the two collided!
Half of the street's windows were shattered by the vicious force, instantly releasing a terrifying wind. Dust was blown everywhere and many weak willed people fainted on the spot.
Ye Tianlang was pushed back several steps.
Blood began to flow from the corners of Nangong Yi's mouth.
The Volcano Source Spirit was very powerful!
Although it was not a God Level Source Spirit, it was still very powerful. Because of the Volcano Source Spirit, Nangong Yi had two-three times the spirit energy of normal cultivators at the same level.
Because Nangong Yi had the Volcano Source Spirit, although he was in the peak 3rd Awakened Soul Layer, he could still go above the 3rd layer and kill Illustrious Soul experts!
This Nangong Yi was very strong!
It was a pity that he was born in the wrong family, the Nangong Family had too many talents. If he was born in one the Central State's four families, he would have obtained the same attention that the Central State Four Young Masters had received.
The Volcano Source Spirit was strong, but it had a very obvious weak point.
The Volcano Source Spirit had strong destructive might and at the same time had strong spirit energy......But, the volcano could not keep erupting!
The shield that Nangong Yi released, it was enough to block Ye Tianlang's full power attack.
But the attack that followed, its strength was much weaker. Ye Tianlang's hurried attack was enough to deflect it!
Only when the Volcano Source Spirit erupts, then Nangong Yi's battle strength would increase several times. Once the source spirit was calm and time passed, Nangong Yi's power would reduce by quite a bit. He would be on the same level as an ordinary 3rd Awakened Soul Layer expert!
"Mayor Nangong truly has skills!"
"Now try this move!"
"Heavenly Wolf's Raid!"
The Dragon Winged Demonic Flame Wolf Source Spirit rose out of Ye Tianlang's body and unexpectedly turned into four tiny wolves!
Each wolf was like a black shadow the naked eye couldn't see. They quickly ran up to Nangong Yi as fast as lightning.
Peng!
Nangong Yi suffered an attack from behind!
Chi!
Nangong Yi was slashed on the chest by a claw!
In several seconds, he was attacked four-five times. Then the four wolves rushed at the same time, biting at different places. Nangong Yi had no choice, he could only release the volcano's spirit energy. He heavily slapped the ground - "Burning Heaven Earth Cracking Palm!"
The volcano spirit energy erupted!
The erupting volcano spirit energy rushed forward like ten thousand horses. Its might swept across the street as the floor in a ten meter radius began to crack apart. The spirit energy of the Volcano Source Spirit contained high temperatures as it turned the rock into magma!
Nangong Yi had just used his strength.
This was a good opportunity!
Ye Tianlang fused with his source spirit and turned back into a wolf man, then he launched a dozen attacks from all directions onto Nangong Yi's body. The last palm slammed onto Nangong Yi's back and knocked him into a thick wall, completely destroying the wall.
Nangong Hai was not just calm, rather he was taking pleasure from the suffering.
He almost seemed happy to watch Nangong Yi being hit!
The difference in strength was very clear!
Nangong Yi angrily shouted as he cracked the stone and jumped out from the rubble. His Mayor robe had been ruined, his hair was dishevelled, and his face was covered in blood. It was clear he had suffered serious losses.
His eyes were still filled with the intent to fight!
Nangong Yi still believed!
This fight could not be lost!
Chu Tian's potential and Chu Tian's danger. Nangong Yi had a deep feeling!
The Nangong Family wouldn't be able to obtain this rare talent, but they couldn't becomes enemies with him. Otherwise in a few years, the family that had lasted for thousand years, the family that had helped this country and developed for hundreds of years, this noble blooded large family, would face the possibility of extermination!
This wasn't just to scare people!
Chu Tian had the ability to achieve this!
"You truly are tenacious!"
Ye Tianlang blinked forward and his foot slammed onto Nangong Yi's chest. Nangong Yi flew through the air while spitting out blood. Even his source spirit was scattered by the attack. He fell onto the ground and didn't get back up.
Ye Tianlang did show mercy. With Nangong Yi's injuries, he would require two-three months in bed and even then it would be hard to recover.
"Mayor Nangong Yi's Volcano Source Spirit, it seems to be mediocre!"
"It truly is too disappointing!"
Ye Tianlang had humiliated the Mayor in front of the South Sky City citizens and Nangong Hai!
The citizens had faces of anger.
This Ye Tianlang was too excessive!
Nangong Yi was a good Mayor and was very popular in South Sky City. He had not only insulted Nangong Yi, he had also insulted South Sky City!
"Mayor!"
"You Ye Family people have gone to far!"
Ye Tianlang waved his hand, "Scram!"
These people were cut down like wheat as they all fell down instantly. They spat out blood and it was clear they suffered heavy injuries.
It's over!
It's all over!
This was clearly someone with the ability to change the world. This strong Southern Cloud Country youth, was he about to be killed just like this?
At this time, several bell sounds clearly rang out in everyone's ears.
Ding, dang!
Ding, dang!
Everyone couldn't help feeling a little absent minded.
Chu Tian walked out of the crowd and his eyes fell upon Ye Tianlang. Then they swept across Nangong Hai and finally resting on Nangong Yi. He revealed a very dark smile.
"The Nangong Family treats the phoenix as their family token. You brag about being the successor of the phoenix, but do you truly understand its essence?" Chu Tian seemed like he was talking to himself. Although his words seemed light, they were quite enlightening.
What did these words mean?
"The Nangong Family has taken the phoenix as their token, so I wish to warn the future generation to be as prideful as the phoenix. Even if you meet a disaster, even if you meet a cruel fate, always revive from the flames! As long as its faith does not die, the phoenix will never be extinguished! This is the true essence of the phoenix!"
Nangong Yi slightly trembled.
Chu Tian's gaze landed on Nangong Yi, "You still haven't discovered it yet? You have over a thousand times more potential than that dog shit Nangong Hai! When you jumped out to fight without any fear of death against stronger opponents, you have already reached your bottleneck. Now try to break through!"
Is that so?
Why have I not felt it!
"I've come to give you a hand!"
Chu Tian began to recite a profound and complex heart chant - it was fragments of the Great Nirvana Scripture!
Nangong Yi had remained at the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer for quite a while. Actually, he was just like Yun Yao where he had the possibility to break through at any time. As long as he had the correct guidance, it was inevitable that he would break through!
From the minute Nangong Yi decided to make a move.
Chu Tian had decided to give him a helping hand!
Ye Tianlang felt that this was strange, "Who is he?"
Nangong Hai gave a cold smile and said, "Heavenly Wolf Young Master came to South Sky City to find Chu Tian. Now that he is standing in front of you, you actually can't recognize him?"
This was Chu Tian?
He truly did have a kind of peerless style!
Ye Tianlang's eyes became cold as he said, "You've seen me and yet still dare stand in front of me. You truly do have courage, but it all ends here!" Not to mention the fact it was impossible for Nangong Yi to break through, it wouldn't matter even if he did break through. He had already suffered heavy injuries. If he did have strength at the 4th Awakened Soul Layer, he couldn't stop him.
Moreover, he had Nangong Hai on his side.
Today, no one could protect Chu Tian!
