Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Three Heroes of Huang Jiang!
As soon as the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect finished speaking, his robes began to flutter. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, visible ripples of energy rolled off his body toward the three burly men, causing the air to distort.
Whoosh!
There was no dramatic sight, but a soft sound clearly rang in the air.
The crowd saw the energy easily overwhelmed the punches from the three burly men that formed a net. The punches disappeared in just an instant.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The ripples of energy continued to roll out and landed on the bodies of the three burly men. The three burly men’s faces paled in just a blink of an eye as they were sent flying like a shot arrow.
“Huh?”
The energy dispersed as soon as it landed on the three burly men and sent them flying. They were sent flying quite a distance away before they fell to the ground. They looked wretched and miserable as they struggled and failed to rise to their feet. After struggling for a while, they only managed to sit cross-legged before taking pills to heal their injuries. It took a while before the pained expressions on their faces eased.
Upon seeing three of his men injured, Bai Yu Xuan glared at the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. He suppressed the fear that rose in his heart and loudly said, “H-How dare you hurt the members of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect?!”
The Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect only scoffed in response, ignoring Bai Yu Xuan. Then, he walked past Bai Yu Xuan who was still on the Red Electric White Tiger’s back toward the others. As he walked past Bai Yu Xuan, he casually raised one hand to shoo off the Red Electric White Tiger.
Upon seeing this, Bai Yu Xuan’s expression changed drastically.
The Red Electric White Tiger let out a soft howl.
Anyone with an understanding of Celestial Beasts would be able to tell the tiger was frightened.
Bai Yu Xuan was about to speak up, thinking the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was going to attack his mount when…
Boom!
The earth trembled slightly as the Red Electric White Tiger moved to the side. It seemed to have lost its strength as it fell to the ground.
Bai Yu Xuan who was on the Red Electric White Tiger’s back was horrified.
The Red Electric White Tiger lay on the ground like a docile kitten, its huge body trembled in fear. It looked at Huan’er fearfully as though she was a terrifying monster.
Only Duan Ling Tian and the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect noticed the tiger’s frightened gaze when it looked at Huan’er. Bai Yu Xuan and the others who finally regained their senses were completely unaware of this. They only thought the tiger was frightened by the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
Duan Ling Tian and the others followed closely behind the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect with indifferent expressions on their faces. They looked neither happy nor upset.
The Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect glanced at Huan’er. A look of surprise briefly flashed in his eyes. He thought to himself as he moved forward, ‘This young lady must be quite powerful…’
‘The Red Electric White Tiger… is actually afraid of Huan’er? Who is she exactly?’ Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing looked at Huan’er in shock as well as they followed the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian looked at Huan’er and sent her a Voice Transmission. “Huan’er, although you’re in human form, your aura is that of a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox, right?” He speculated that the Red Electric White Tiger was so afraid of her because it could sense she was a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. Although the Red Electric White Tiger was a Celestial Beast without intelligence, its survival instinct was strong. Naturally, it would be afraid when it encountered a stronger Celestial Beast.
“Brother Ling Tian, I haven’t matured so the aura of the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox in me isn’t very strong. The little Red Electric White Tiger is afraid of me because of my Phantom Fox aura,” Huan’er replied through Voice Transmission, “In the Devata Realms, the Phantom Fox Clan is a powerful clan of Celestial Beasts… The aura of a Phantom Fox is enough to serve as a deterrent to most Celestial Beasts…”
“I see.” Duan Ling Tian was surprised that Huan’er had stepped aside because she knew the Red Electric White Tiger was afraid of her.
Meanwhile, everyone could only watch as the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect walked away.
Bai Yu Xuan, the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, was left sitting on the Red Electric White Tiger that was lying in the ground. His expression was unsightly. He glared at Duan Ling Tian and the others viciously as he thought to himself, ‘No matter who you are… I, Bai Yu Xuan, will have my revenge one day!’
At this moment, the onlookers shifted their attention to Bai Yu Xuan and began to discuss among themselves.
“Who are they?”
“They’re definitely from a top sect in the Six Southeastern Regions… Otherwise, how could they act so arrogantly and offend the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect?!”
“The Young Sect Master of Profound Heaven Celestial Sect really suffered a huge humiliation this time…”
Meanwhile, Bai Yu Xuan got off the Red Electric White Tiger’s back when it was about to rise to its feet. The crowd was still busy discussing among themselves as he left the tiger and his three men behind.
“He left just like that?”
“Why would he stay? Hasn’t he been humiliated enough?”
“I’ve long heard about Bai Yu Xuan, the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. According to rumors, he has always been arrogant and domineering. Almost everyone would try to flatter him… It’s truly a sight to see him being humiliated today.”
Many people felt the same way.
“The three men… The old man who defeated them with just a single move called them the Three Heroes of Huang Jiang, right? I wonder why?” someone asked curiously, looking at the three burly men.
“The Three Heroes of Huang Jiang are famous thieves in the Cross Region. Although they’re just Four Phenomenons Celestial Dukes, they’re able to defeat Five Elements Celestial Dukes when they combine their strength!” someone from the Cross Region replied. As he spoke, he looked at three burly men fearfully.
“That’s right! There are more than ten Five Elements Celestial Dukes who have died in their hands over the years,” another person from the Cross Region chimed in.
Upon hearing these words, many people inhaled sharply.
“Initially, I didn’t believe it when the old man said the three Four Phenomenons Celestial Dukes’ joint-attack was comparable to the full strength of an ordinary Six Combinations Celestial Duke. I thought the old man was trying to make himself look good!”
“When they join forces, their attack is comparable to the full strength of an ordinary Six Combinations Celestial Duke… It’s only natural that most Five Elements Celestial Dukes are not a match for them.”
“The old man didn’t even make any big movements. Just his Celestial Origin Energy is enough to subdue the Three Heroes of Huang Jiang. He even severely injured them… He must be a Seven Stars Celestial Duke at the very least, right?”
Someone scoffed. “Didn’t you see it earlier? The old man withdrew his strength at the very last minute. If he didn’t, not only would the Three Heroes of Huang Jiang die, but even the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect and the Red Electric White Tiger would have died!”
At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly stepped forward and cried out, “I remember now!”
Everyone turned their attention to the middle-aged man.
At the same time, another middle-aged man exclaimed, “It’s him! No wonder I found him familiar!”
“Who’s he?!”
“Tell us!”
“I’m dying to know… Mister, please don’t keep us guessing!”
The group of people looked at the middle-aged man and urged him.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath to suppress his excitement before he said, “During the Alchemy Conference 300 years ago, I was fortunate enough to meet the old senior. If I’m not mistaken, he’s the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect! At that time, he was already an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke!”
“The Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”
“He’s the strongest person in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, right?!”
“As it turns out, he’s the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. No wonder he’s so strong!”
