Chapter 3367: Great Vehicle Clash

Chen Yueying hadn't been in the Mahayana stage for long and had remained on Xuanyuan Continent. She hadn't managed to acquire an eighth-tier formation, and the guardian formation of Zhenhai Palace was only seventh-tier, which wouldn't be able to hold off Yan Zheng for long.

"What? Yan Zheng? Is it just him? Where's Luo Xiao?!" Chen Yueying pressed for more information.

"Luo Xiao appeared at the border, commanding a full-scale invasion of Spiritfire and Yaksha cultivators attacking our human strongholds," Fang Ming said, his expression grim.

"Junior Martial Brother Wang, please come with me to Misty Cloud Island! Yan Zheng dares to attack Misty Cloud Island alone; I have a bad feeling about this," Chen Yueying pleaded.

She knew very well that Yan Zheng was attacking Misty Cloud Island specifically for the Nine-Jade Stone. Was Yan Zheng truly so confident he could retrieve the Nine-Jade Stone by himself? Either Yan Zheng's cultivation had significantly advanced, or he had acquired a powerful treasure, or he had other helpers. Otherwise, what made him dare to attack Misty Cloud Island alone?

Fang Ming acknowledged and left to carry out the order.

Chen Yueying had already considered this, instructing Xiao Wentian to establish large-scale teleportation arrays on Azure Lotus Island and Misty Cloud Island, allowing them to teleport back directly.

"My husband, you and Senior Martial Sister Chen should go to Misty Cloud Island! I will stay here at Azure Lotus Island to oversee things and show myself when necessary," Wang Ruyan suggested.

The Silver Shark Clan might counterattack at this time, so it would be better for Wang Ruyan to stay and command. In any case, a large-scale teleportation array was on the island, allowing Wang Changsheng to teleport back if Yin Qing attacked.

Wang Changsheng nodded, realizing that Yan Zheng and Luo Xiao might be targeting Chen Yueying. If she were killed, he would face even greater pressure. Of course, if Azure Lotus Island were attacked, Wang Changsheng would rush back to assist immediately. After all, there were still too few Mahayana cultivators among humans.

Wang Changsheng and Chen Yueying teleported away from Azure Lotus Island, and Wang Ruyan issued orders to strengthen defenses.

On Misty Cloud Island, a watery blue light curtain enveloped the entire island. Yan Zheng stood high in the sky, his expression indifferent. Tens of thousands of crimson fireballs floated in the air, emitting terrifying high temperatures.

Yan Zheng and Luo Xiao planned to eliminate Chen Yueying and reclaim the Nine-Jade Stone. If they appeared together, Chen Yueying might escape or destroy the Nine-Jade Stone directly. According to their plan, Spiritfire and Yaksha cultivators would attack human strongholds, and Luo Xiao would appear on the front lines. This was to make Chen Yueying mistakenly believe that Yan Zheng had come alone. Once she was locked in battle with Yan Zheng, Luo Xiao would seize the opportunity to strike, eliminating Chen Yueying and reclaiming the Nine-Jade Stone.

Yan Zheng made a hand seal, and tens of thousands of crimson fireballs tore through the sky, crashing into the blue water curtain.

A series of thunderous explosions rang out as a wave of crimson flames engulfed the guardian formation, causing the entire Misty Cloud Island to shake violently.

It would be easy for Yan Zheng to break Zhenhai Palace's guardian formation, as it was only a seventh-tier formation. He just wanted to give Chen Yueying time to return. Chen Yueying might not even be on Misty Cloud Island. Given the preciousness of the Nine-Jade Stone, she would surely carry it with her and not keep it in Zhenhai Palace's treasury.

Song Yuchan and six other Integration cultivators stood high in the sky, their brows furrowed. Each held a blue formation disc that trembled slightly in their hands, with over a dozen tiny cracks visible on the discs.

A deafening roar erupted as the blue water curtain shattered like a bubble. The guardian formation was broken, but Yan Zheng did not kill Song Yuchan and the others. When Chen Yueying attacked the Myriad Flames Mountain Range, she didn't kill any Spiritfire cultivators. Similarly, Yan Zheng wouldn't kill Zhenhai Palace cultivators, as doing so would drive Chen Yueying to madness. Cultivators with attachments are not terrifying; they still have some boundaries when acting. What is truly terrifying are those with no attachments, such as True Monarch Bloodblade.

A piercing whoosh sounded as a large expanse of yellow shimmering sand flew out from Misty Cloud Island. After swirling in mid-air, it transformed into a massive yellow sand dragon and lunged at Yan Zheng.

"A high-grade Allheaven Spirit Treasure! You've finally shown yourself!" Yan Zheng sneered, conjuring a crimson-glowing banner. He chanted a spell, and after the banner circled him once, innumerable crimson flames gushed out.

A gigantic human-shaped phantom appeared above his head, pulsing with crimson light and appearing almost solid. The phantom's right hand struck towards the void, sending ripples through the air as a huge, hazy red hand materialized and struck towards the yellow sand dragon.

With a loud bang, the yellow sand dragon's body exploded and was engulfed by rolling flames.

Chen Yueying flew out from Misty Cloud Island, her expression cold. She made a hand seal, and a dazzling yellow light shone within the intense flames. The flames flickered wildly and then died down, revealing a large expanse of yellow shimmering sand.

"You should know why I'm here. Hand over the item, and I will leave. Otherwise, we will fight to the death," Yan Zheng said coldly. He said this to make Chen Yueying mistakenly believe that he hadn't informed Luo Xiao and intended to claim the Nine-Jade Stone for himself. Yan Zheng doing this was understandable, given the value of the Nine-Jade Stone.

"I've already exchanged it with the Ye family," Chen Yueying said calmly. "You should ask them for it." She thought to herself, "From his words, it seems he hasn't informed Luo Xiao."

Yan Zheng and Chen Yueying were both in the early Mahayana stage. For Yan Zheng to attack Misty Cloud Island alone without informing Luo Xiao, he must have mastered a powerful secret technique or possessed a powerful treasure. If that were the case, he would be somewhat easier to deal with. She didn't let her guard down, as Wang Changsheng was hidden on Misty Cloud Island, looking for an opportunity to attack Yan Zheng.

"Then there's nothing more to say," Yan Zheng said coldly. He made a hand seal, and the human-shaped phantom above his head merged with him. He slammed his right fist into the void, and innumerable crimson flames surged forth, forming a torrential river of crimson flame that swept directly towards his opponent, leaving a long white streak in the void.

Chen Yueying made a hand seal, and the yellow sand suddenly condensed, transforming into a massive, dark yellow heaven-piercing sword that met the attack. With a loud bang, the yellow giant sword shattered the crimson river, and rolling flames engulfed it.

The void vibrated and distorted as tens of thousands of yellow boulders materialized out of thin air, crashing towards Yan Zheng. As the yellow boulders approached within a hundred zhang of Yan Zheng, a large number of crimson fireballs surged from the void, blocking them. A series of thunderous explosions rang out, and yellow and crimson lights illuminated the sky, creating a conspicuous display.

Chen Yueying was about to unleash another divine ability against Yan Zheng when a familiar male voice rang in her ear: "Senior Martial Sister Chen, Luo Xiao is here. Be careful."

Chen Yueying reacted quickly, a brilliant yellow light emanating from her body as a thick, earthy yellow armor materialized, protecting her entire body. A strong gust of wind swept from behind her, and Luo Xiao appeared. He had appeared on the front lines, commanding the army to invade human territory, then secretly left the front, handing over command to Sang Yu. Few people knew about this.

The moment Luo Xiao appeared, he opened his mouth and spat out a golden sound wave that shot directly towards Chen Yueying. Simultaneously, he moved his arms and slammed them towards Chen Yueying's head. With a muffled thud, Chen Yueying's head burst open, and her body disintegrated into a large expanse of yellow sand.

Hundreds of miles away, a yellow light illuminated the void as innumerable yellow sand particles materialized, revealing Chen Yueying's figure, her eyes filled with terror. If Wang Changsheng hadn't warned her, she would likely have been ambushed by Luo Xiao. The Yaksha clan's physical bodies are powerful; letting a Yaksha of the same cultivation level get close would cause significant trouble.

The moment Chen Yueying reappeared, an astonishing heatwave rushed towards her, and a crimson fire dragon over a thousand zhang long lunged at her. Chen Yueying quickly conjured an axe constantly glowing with yellow light and met the attack; it was the Heaven-Slaying Axe.

With a thunderous roar, the crimson fire dragon was split in half by the Heaven-Slaying Axe and transformed into a massive ball of crimson flames, engulfing an area of a thousand zhang, with Chen Yueying also caught within the flames.
