Chapter 445: Great Battle with the Blood Barbarian

"Fortunately, this guy isn't our enemy; otherwise, our Xuanmen sect might not have survived this moment."

Xu Yang's allies, observing from the rear, were utterly stunned, while Murong Jian's eyes were filled with shock and reverence.

The person with arguably the most complex feelings was Yun Shu, the Xuanmen sect's eldest daughter and current leader.

She harbored a massive secret. Originally, she had planned to use provocation to exploit Xu Yang, eliminate the Blood Barbarian lineage, and completely remove a fatal threat to Xuanmen. Afterward, she intended to devise another way to deceive him. However, witnessing events unfold, Yun Shu finally realized how foolish her previous idea had been.

For someone of Xu Yang's caliber, breaking promises and offending him would likely lead to consequences far more terrifying than antagonizing ten Blood Barbarian tribes.

Rumble!

As the unmatched might of Xu Yang and his sword swept through the battlefield, the Blood Barbarian leader Taeda and Queen Aisy finally couldn't remain still, their expressions extremely grim.

"This person's foundation is incredibly strong. I wonder where the Xuanmen sect managed to find someone like him!"

"My King, what should we do now? Do we need to retreat temporarily? That person seems beyond our capability to handle."

Taeda pondered for a moment, then gave a chilling smile. "Just because we can't defeat him doesn't mean others can't. You must immediately return to the Gloomy Forest and awaken the Eternal Night Underworld Lord. Use his power to deal with this person. If we win this battle today, the Xuanmen sect will surely fall!"

Aisy glanced at Taeda with some concern. "What about you? How will you face so many of them on your own?"

Taeda chuckled and shook his head. "Don't worry, the King's will is immortal. I will definitely hold out until you return."

With that, Taeda raised his great saber high, let out a hysterical roar at his surroundings, and leapt into the air to confront the Sword Soul of the King's Sword.

"He's mine!"

At the same moment, Murong Jian spurred his horse forward, charging into the battle and intercepting Taeda mid-air as he tried to block the Sword Soul.

Thus, the two stood opposed in mid-air, each radiating a powerful aura, neither willing to yield an inch. They were like two kings who had, ahead of schedule, met their most important adversaries on this battlefield.

At this point, what was originally a battle between the Xuanmen sect and the Northern Frontier seemed to have transformed into a confrontation between the Northern Imperial Dynasty and the Blood Barbarian tribe.

"Murong Jian, I came here today to eliminate the Xuanmen sect. What are you doing here, meddling? Has the Northern Imperial Dynasty been too peaceful these past few years?"

Murong Jian sneered, "You seem to have misunderstood something. I am not cooperating with them. I have merely made you a higher priority opponent than them. All of this can only be attributed to the arrangements of fate."

Taeda burst into laughter. "Fine, I couldn't care less about what you guys think. As long as you dare to block my path, you are all enemies of my Blood Barbarian tribe. Let's fight!"

Both Murong Jian and Taeda simultaneously began unleashing their incredibly powerful, unique auras of dominion, characteristic of battlefield leaders.

Terrifying energy fluctuations instantly swept across the entire battlefield below. It seemed that due to the aura emanating from these two, the Blood Barbarian warriors beneath them became exceptionally fierce.

"Miss, shouldn't we be doing something too? This situation seems a bit different from what we imagined..."

The Flame Woman looked at Yun Shu with a somewhat helpless smile.

This war was originally instigated by Xuanmen and should have been led by them. However, their invited reinforcements proved to be so valorous that they all charged to the front lines, leaving the Xuanmen's Five Elements Elders idle.

"Five Elements Elders, heed my command! All of you, join the main battlefield and assist Murong Jian... assist our allies in combat."

Yun Shu inadvertently spoke her true thoughts. In fact, she meant to say "assist Murong Jian," as it seemed half of her soul had been captivated by this extraordinary man, her mind entirely preoccupied with him.

As the five elemental controllers joined the fray, Long Kun also glanced at Ling Yao, seeking her advice.

"So, should we join the fun?"

Ling Yao was clearly not one to seek excitement. "There's no need for us here; let's conserve our energy. While the Blood Barbarian tribe is formidable, how can Taeda alone contend with so many powerhouses? It won't be long before their forces completely crumble, unable to coalesce into a powerful fighting force."

Long Kun actually thought the same, but felt that not offering an opinion would make him seem insignificant...

Rumble!

On the main battlefield, Murong Jian was already engaging the barbarian leader Taeda with powerful moves. Xu Yang, meanwhile, continued to control the black Asura Source he had manifested, slaughtering all around him. Almost every Blood Barbarian warrior who faced him quickly met their demise.

No one could provide an accurate measure to indicate Xu Yang's true limit.

Terrifying waves of sound emanated one after another, exerting pressure. With the battle under his sole control, the pace was firmly held by the Xuanmen side. Whenever any faction felt a slight pressure during combat, Xu Yang would immediately provide powerful support. Wherever the vast Asura radiance passed, it became the absolute sovereign, judging all beings on the battlefield.

"Haha, cooperating with a master is incredibly comfortable, absolutely no pressure! Originally, these Blood Barbarians' Blood Fiend arrays exerted a severe deterrent and influence on mental power, but now, with the protection of Master Xu Yang's power, this negative effect has completely vanished—it's truly incredible!"

Lei Zhen now seemed to have completely become Xu Yang's devoted fan. Even during combat, he tried to stay as close as possible to Xu Yang's position, as under the protection of Master Xu Yang's energy, he experienced virtually no pressure or harm from the Blood Barbarian grand array.

In contrast, on the barbarian side, half of the over three thousand people the Barbarian King had excitedly led into battle were already slain. They remained in a passive, desperate situation, completely under Master Xu Yang's control.

"Damn it! Where did you come from? You're incredibly powerful! My Blood Rage Array is completely useless!"

In fact, Taeda's personal combat power was formidable, but to exert his full strength, he also needed the surrounding Blood Barbarian warriors to provide him with bloodline energy, helping him maintain peak combat effectiveness at all times.

However, with Master Xu Yang present, the amplification effect provided by his subordinate warriors was almost negligible, leaving him in a highly awkward and difficult predicament.

Rumble!

Murong Jian slashed down with a sword from mid-air, unleashing a terrifying and mighty sword intent that forcefully drove the barbarian leader Taeda over a hundred meters away.

Taeda, panting heavily, was clearly unconvinced and looked at Murong Jian with cold eyes.
