"Swish! Swish!
Swish! "The Blades of Asura in Xing Jue's hands were like a torrential rain that covered the sky as they continuously slashed at Dugu Feng. As time passed, Xing Jue's attacks became more and more profound.
Gradually, Dugu Feng found it difficult to defend himself. However, by the time he realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. At this moment, Xing Jue's attacks were like a giant net that had sealed off all of Dugu Feng's escape routes, causing him to be unable to retreat or defend.
"Young Master Dugu, I'm sorry."
Suddenly, Xing Jue waved his right arm once again, and a dark ray of light flashed past. This was Xing Jue's Blades of Asura. However, this time, Dugu Feng did not have the ability to block this attack, and the slash had already smashed towards Dugu Feng's body.
In order to not injure or heavily injure Dugu Feng, Xing Jue adjusted the direction of the Blades of Asura and attacked Dugu Feng horizontally. Even so, if Dugu Feng was hit by this attack, he would still end up in an extremely embarrassing situation.
"Buzz."
"Both of you, stop before you go too far."
However, just as Xing Jue's slash was about to hit Dugu Feng, a powerful binding force suddenly appeared around the two of them without any warning, trapping Xing Jue.
At this moment, Xing Jue's expression changed drastically as an indescribable fear rose from the bottom of his heart.
Because this force was too powerful, it was so powerful that Xing Jue felt that not only his body was being restrained, but even his entire soul and the flow of Battle Qi were being controlled.
Such a powerful binding force had surpassed the Spatial Shackles that a Battle Emperor could control. In fact, Xing Jue felt that if his opponent exerted a little more pressure on him, his body and soul would be shattered.
"Such powerful strength … could it be a Battle Emperor?"
In front of such power, Xing Jue simply had no way to resist. Currently, Xing Jue had already reached the High Grade Combat Emperor realm. To be able to suppress a High Grade Combat Emperor to such an extent, perhaps only the legendary Combat Emperor could do it.
With this horrified feeling, Xing Jue tried his best to move his eyeballs around, wanting to see the true face of the person who had attacked him.
However, the restraining force was too powerful. It was so powerful that he didn't even have the strength to move his eyes. He could only wait for the judgment with fear and uneasiness.
"Buzz."
Just as Xing Jue gave up, the powerful binding force disappeared instantly. At this moment, Xing Jue regained his freedom and quickly looked around.
When he turned around, he was shocked to find a middle-aged man in a white robe with black hair standing not far away from him with his hands clasped behind his back. The man was looking at Xing Jue with a faint smile on his face.
The white robe on the man's body wasn't a treasure. It was an extremely ordinary robe, but for some reason, it looked extraordinary when worn by this man. His ordinary appearance also gave off an indescribable aura.
Although there wasn't a trace of energy flowing around this man's body and he looked like an ordinary person, he was like a deep ocean that was difficult to see through. Obviously, the person who had attacked Xing Jue and Dugu Feng was this man.
"Lord Father."
Just as Xing Jue was guessing the identity of this man, Yao Xinyan, Yao Chen and Yao Xinyan's sixth sister came to the side of the middle-aged man and greeted him respectfully.
"Lord Father?"
Xing Jue was even more stunned when he heard Yao Xinyan and her sisters address him as such. A sliver of unconcealable shock appeared on his face because the person in front of him was the Demon Refinement Clan's patriarch, one of the top experts of the Martial Heaven Continent, Yao Yutian.
"Dugu Feng greets uncle." At this moment, Dugu Feng, who was standing to the side, hurriedly put away the artifact in his hand and respectfully bowed with a fake smile on his face.
"Haha, nephew, there's no need to be so courteous." The patriarch of the Demon Refinement Clan, Yao Yutian, smiled and waved his hand.
"Lord Father, this is the friend I mentioned to you last time, Xing Jue." However, contrary to Xing Jue's expectations, Yao Xinyan actually pulled her father's hand and introduced herself to him.
"Junior Xing Jue pays his respects to the Clan Head of the Demon Refinement Clan." Seeing this, Xing Jue did not hesitate and hurriedly walked forward to greet him respectfully.
"Little friend Xing Jue's strength is extraordinary. He can be said to be the strongest person in the Towering Sky Domain's younger generation." But what shocked everyone the most was that after Yao Yutian sized up Xing Jue, he actually began to praise Xing Jue.
His words caused everyone to be shocked. To be able to obtain such praise from the Demonic Refinement Clan's Patriarch, it was sufficient to show that this person was extraordinary. Yet, Xing Jue was actually able to obtain such praise. How could they not feel shocked?
But compared to everyone's shock, Dugu Feng's face twitched. Displeasure was clearly written on his face. Yao Yutian's praise of Xing Jue as the strongest person in the Towering Sky Domain's younger generation meant that he was not a match for Xing Jue in Yao Yutian's heart. How could he, who had always been arrogant, accept that?
Even though he was in danger earlier, he still couldn't accept it if someone said that Xing Jue was stronger than him. It could also be said that he didn't want to accept it. At this moment, an indescribable hatred surged into Dugu Feng's heart.
"Lord Patriarch is overpraising me." Although Xing Jue was a little surprised by the Demon Refinement Clan's patriarch's praise, he could only be modest in this sort of situation.
"Sigh, there's no need to be modest. Originally, when my Little Seven praised you, I also had my doubts.
"But now that we've met, it's indeed as Little Seven said. You're extraordinary. It's the fortune of the entire Martial Sky Continent for such an outstanding young man like you to appear in the Towering Sky Domain." Yao Yutian continued to praise. Moreover, his words clearly expressed his approval and admiration for the execution of punishments.
After that, Xing Jue only smiled and didn't reply. After all, Yao Yutian had already said so much, so it would be insensible of him to continue being modest. But at this moment, Xing Jue felt gratitude for Yao Yutian.
By openly praising Xing Jue in such a public place, he was basically telling everyone in the Towering Sky Domain that Xing Jue was someone that he, Yao Yutian, had acknowledged. This acknowledgement was akin to a protective token that would allow Xing Jue's future path to be even smoother.
Thinking about it, Xing Jue cast a grateful gaze towards Yao Xinyan, who was standing beside Yao Yutian. Her eyes were narrowed and her face was filled with a mischievous smile. Xing Jue knew that the reason why Yao Yutian had such a good impression of him was because of Yao Xinyan.
After chatting for a while, everyone finally arrived at the Demon Refinement Clan's ruins. Yao Yutian's appearance had successfully brought everyone a pleasant surprise. Originally, it was already a pleasant surprise to visit the Demon Refinement Clan's ruins, but now that they were personally accompanied by the Demon Refinement Clan's Patriarch, everyone felt overwhelmed by the favor.
Xing Jue and the rest, who could follow beside Yao Yutian, became the focus of nearly a thousand people. After all, being able to interact with someone like Yao Yutian at such a close distance was something that everyone yearned for.
Compared to everyone, Xing Jue was also pleasantly surprised. After all, this was the first time that Xing Jue had seen a Combat Emperor. Being able to interact with such an expert at such a close distance was a rare opportunity.
But at the same time, Xing Jue could also sense the importance of the ruins to the Demon Refinement Clan. The fact that Yao Yutian was willing to personally come here instead of sending an elder of the clan had already explained everything.
"Young friend Xing Jue, nephew Dugu, Alliance Master Ouyang, can any of you understand the murals in front of you?" After entering the ruins, Yao Yutian smiled as he asked Xing Jue, Dugu Feng, and Ouyang Hansheng.
In this ruin, be it the surrounding walls, the ceiling above their heads, or the rocky ground below their feet, they were all engraved with all kinds of strange murals. The most amazing thing was that although these murals were individual, they were all connected to each other. Looking at it as a whole, it looked like a huge painting.
"Uncle, the murals in the ruins are indeed extremely profound. It's no wonder why the Demon Refinement Clan has been unable to decipher them for thousands of years."
"However, for the sake of this trip, I have read a lot about refining weapons. Now, I know quite a bit about refining weapons. Although I can't guarantee that I can decipher the secrets in this mural, I don't think that it's impossible." Dugu Feng said with a smile on his face when he saw this.
"Yes, for nephew Dugu to be so confident, you are indeed worthy of being an elite amongst the Towering Sky Region's younger generation."
"In that case, young friend Xing Jue, what about you?"
After hearing Dugu Feng's words, Yao Yutian nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he looked at Xing Jue with anticipation.
"Please allow me to take a look before reporting back to Lord Patriarch." Hearing Yao Yutian's question, Xing Jue didn't boast like Dugu Feng. Instead, he agreed with a smile and walked to the entrance because he wanted to look at the murals from here.
But when Xing Jue saw the changes on the first murals, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Furthermore, he could find this familiar feeling in almost every murals. However, he couldn't recall where this feeling came from.
"It's actually!!!"
But after Xing Jue linked the murals together and looked at them, Xing Jue's expression couldn't help but change. At this moment, it was as if a storm had been set off in his heart. He couldn't calm down his excitement.
Because at this moment, Xing Jue finally understood why he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity towards these murals. That feeling came from the patterns drawn by Aber. It was just that these murals were just symbols drawn by Aber.
But if he linked the lines drawn by Aber, he could actually link them together in an extremely mysterious way. At this moment, Xing Jue was shocked to discover that he could actually understand the strange murals in front of him.
