**Roar…**
**Above the sky.**
The battle between Shang Tianyin and Ye Yunzhe was so fierce that it seemed to shatter the rain curtain, unleashing an unparalleled and terrifying destructive power of the myriad laws of the universe. Meanwhile, Shang Muchen, who had just ascended to the Myriad Laws Realm, was also displaying an explosive power, pressing Yuan Pengwang so hard that he could hardly catch his breath.
Below, Xu Yuntian led his men into battle against the warriors of the Shang clan, still holding the upper hand. However, witnessing Shang Muchen’s breakthrough to the Myriad Laws Realm, the fighting spirit of the Shang clan warriors was reignited, and they became fearless in the face of danger.
If Shang Muchen were to defeat Yuan Pengwang and then intervene in the battle below, the Dark Soul Hall would surely collapse in an instant.
**Suddenly!**
“Die!”
A roar echoed from above. Everyone saw the heavy rain split apart, revealing a clear expanse of sky above their heads.
Shang Muchen took a step forward, his hands seemingly grasping a blade forged from the essence of moonlight, and he struck directly at Yuan Pengwang.
The strike hit Yuan Pengwang squarely.
**Boom…**
The earth-shattering roar continued to resound.
Yuan Pengwang’s entire body was enveloped by the blade’s radiance, his skin cracking and splintering.
“Humph!”
Shang Muchen took another step forward, and a torrent of malevolent energy surged from within him. The blade’s radiance grew even more formidable, pinning Yuan Pengwang down and rendering him utterly defenseless.
**Bang!!!**
The sound of explosion rang out.
Yuan Pengwang’s body could no longer withstand the pressure. His flesh burst open, and he plummeted to the ground like a cannonball.
**Boom…**
Behind Ye Wushuang and several others, in the marketplace, several pavilions collapsed into ruins.
“Old Yuan!”
Tian Chengwen’s face turned ashen.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang stood up, stepped on the ground, and made his way to the ruins, frantically searching through the debris.
“Yuan Pengwang!”
Ye Wushuang shouted.
From within the ruins, a hand emerged at that moment.
Without a word, Ye Wushuang darted over. The wound in his abdomen tugged, and blood flowed out once again. Yet, Ye Wushuang seemed utterly unaware, focusing only on the hand before him as he cleared away the shattered stones and broken wood.
“Yuan Pengwang!”
Ye Wushuang growled lowly.
As he uncovered the bloodied and mangled figure, a pang of pain shot through Ye Wushuang’s heart.
Tian Chengwen and He Bo also rushed over immediately.
“Old Yuan!”
“Lord Yuan!”
The two helped Ye Wushuang lift the barely recognizable Yuan Pengwang.
Yuan Pengwang’s face was covered in blood, and he weakly opened his mouth, saying, “Master, I’m sorry…”
Tears streamed down Yuan Pengwang’s face.
How he wished it had been him, Yuan Pengwang, who had broken through in battle, not Shang Muchen.
Ye Wushuang had nearly been killed in the Blue Sky Mountains and was also ambushed by the Shang clan in the Blue Cloud Academy, yet Yuan Pengwang had failed to prepare in advance.
The only time the five great clans had attempted to assassinate Ye Wushuang, it was Ye Wushuang who had known in advance and informed them, turning the tables and killing the assassins of the five great clans.
Five hundred years ago, their master had left, and they had failed to protect the Ye clan.
Five hundred years later, their master had returned, fighting with all his might, yet they had failed to protect him once again.
Tian Chengwen wiped away his tears, his eyes bloodshot as he shouted, “I’ll fight him to the death!”
Ye Yunzhe, though at the Myriad Laws Realm, had only just recovered. He had lost a great deal of vital energy over the centuries and could not possibly reach his peak in just over a month.
Shang Tianyin, who had been secretly cultivating within the Shang clan for five hundred years, was naturally no pushover.
Ye Yunzhe would not be able to defeat Shang Tianyin quickly.
Moreover… if Shang Muchen were to ignore the battle here and join forces with Shang Tianyin to attack Ye Yunzhe, Ye Yunzhe might even be in danger!
“Stop!”
Ye Wushuang coldly shouted, “Are you going to throw your life away?”
“I…”
Tian Chengwen was furious with himself, hating his own incompetence!
“Protect Pengwang!”
“Master…”
“Since you call me ‘master,’ do as I say!”
Ye Wushuang’s voice was stern and commanding.
Tian Chengwen clenched his fists in frustration.
At that moment, ten zhang away from the ruins, a figure slowly descended.
It was Shang Muchen.
Shang Muchen looked over, his gaze filled with a mix of scrutiny and contempt.
“Ye Wushuang, I really have to thank you,” Shang Muchen said with a faint smile, spreading his arms. “If it weren’t for the pressure Yuan Pengwang put on me, I might not have been able to break through to the Myriad Laws Realm today, or perhaps never in my entire life!”
