After leaving behind the legend of a Seeing Divinity Martial Saint pursuing an Immortal Bridge Martial Saint in the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory's Royal Reed Sea, Yan Zhaoge had shocked the world once more in the southern Blazing Heaven Territory today.
As a Seeing Divinity Martial Saint, he had pursued Zhang Shuren and Yuan Xiancheng, two Immortal Bridge Martial Saints, giving them a good beating all the way from the Announcing Peace Mountain Range to Circumference Mountain.
It would still be fine if he had been pursued by an ordinary person.
Still, Zhang Shuren and Yuan Xiancheng were naturally far from ordinary people.
One was a late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint, one of the most outstanding experts of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory beneath the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen, a longtime Elder of Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope.
The other was a mid Immortal Bridge Martial Saint, a rare genius. Even many other ninth level Martial Saints would not be able to keep up with him.
As the lord of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope was naturally a legendary existence here.
Today, however, their reputation was destined to plummet greatly as their reputation was swept to the ground.
Yan Zhaoge was proficient in the Great Wilderness Fish-Roc Art and the Northern Ocean Divine Spear as he cultivated in the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture and the Immortal Trapping Sword.
In terms of speed, Zhang Shuren and Yuan Xiancheng were unable to shake off his pursuit as they could only sullenly be beaten up by him all the way.
Fortunately, the two cultivated in the Phoenix True Form Scripture, possessing shocking defensive power as they were able to retreat all the way back to Circumference Mountain.
As Yan Zhaoge chased after them and entered Circumference Mountain, his heart suddenly jolted.
The next moment, all-encompassing radiance lit up before him, suffusing the heavens and the earth.
Amidst the terrifying radiance, numerous Wutong trees wreathed in blazing fire seemed to rise from the ground, obscuring the heavens and concealing the sun as a massive Wutong forest was formed.
The cries of phoenixes resounded amidst the Wutong forest. While they were not piercing, they were shocking.
After Zhang Shuren and Yuan Xiancheng entered the vicinity of the Wutong forest, their auras instantly changed.
Roiling blazing fire expanded into the surroundings, sweeping towards Yan Zhaoge like a tidal wave.
Yan Zhaoge halted, keeping the Light Yin Sword Seal and raising the Extreme Yang Seal, forcibly colliding head-on with the sea of flames before him.
Gazing over, he saw that Zhang Shuren who had landed on the Wutong tree was actually beginning to slowly heal from his shoulder.
Yan Zhaoge's Slaying Azure Dragon sword was ferocious to the extreme as it was the qi of death and extermination based on exuberant life force to the extreme as it greatly countered the martial practitioners of Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope.
Even with Zhang Shuren's cultivation base, he had been unable to heal after being stabbed by Yan Zhaoge's sword.
If he could calm down and regulate his breathing, his wound would at least not worsen.
Only with the passage of time could the wound heal.
However, having been pursued by Yan Zhaoge all the way, not giving him any chance to catch his breath in the slightest, not only had Zhang Shuren's sword wounds not been alleviated, they had instead gradually worsened.
However, now that he had entered the Parasol Tree Forest, Zhang Shuren's injuries instantly started to recover rapidly.
The remnant brutal sword-intent and sword-qi of Yan Zhaoge's Slaying Azure Dragon sword were unceasingly being extracted and dispelled.
Yan Zhaoge looked at the formation before him. As far as the eye could see, there were Wutong trees that stretched as far as the eye could see, all of them tall and towering between the heavens and the earth, blazing hot like fire, lofty and noble even as they emanated a flourishing life force.
His Slaying Azure Dragon could counter Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope's Phoenix True Form Scripture to a certain extent, allowing him to defeat stronger opponents.
However, in the power of fire and water, a large amount of water could extinguish the fire, while a large amount of fire could evaporate the water.
Once the gap between their realms exceeded a certain limit, the so-called restraint would no longer exist.
"Oh, this formation is really not bad," After observing it, Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly.
'Treasured Branch Suppressing Peak' Zhang Shuren, other than his Wutong Divine Palm that was renowned beneath the heavens, was also renowned for his attainments in formations.
Zhang Shuren had been appointed to guard over the border of the two Territories against the martial practitioners of the southeast not only because of his experienced and prudent personality, but also because he was proficient in formations.
The border of Circumference Mountain had indeed been made impregnable by him over the past two years.
Looking at Zhang Shuren and Yuan Xiancheng within the Wutong forest, Yan Zhaoge asked, "The power of life here is dense. Your injuries should be able to heal very quickly. Do you want to regroup and battle with me once more?"
"There is a rumour from the southeast that while you are young, your attainments in formations are high," Zhang Shuren's expression did not change as he answered, "I wonder if you would be interested in entering this old man's Wutong Phoenix Perching Formation?"
Yan Zhaoge could not help but laugh, "The two of you are of famed lineages at the end of the day, also peak figures amongst Immortal Bridge Martial Saints. It wouldn't be to the extent that you would just stay inside and not come out, right?"
Yuan Xiancheng was silent. Zhang Shuren's expression was as per usual as he just smiled slightly, no embarrassment or anger visible on his face at all.
Not knowing about Yan Zhaoge's background previously, after having received news from Yuan Xiancheng that Yan Zhaoge had appeared, he had immediately hurried over to Vast Spirit Mountain.
This was to capture Yan Zhaoge before the martial practitioners of the southeast could react before returning to Circumference Mountain as soon as possible, not giving the opposing experts of the southeast a chance to do so.
From a certain perspective, due to his original duty of guarding this place, whether or not he could capture Yan Zhaoge, he would have to return as soon as possible.
According to Zhang Shuren's previous estimations, the worst-case scenario would be that he would not be able to capture Yan Zhaoge at Vast Spirit Mountain, allowing him to escape.
In that case, it would still be Yuan Xiancheng and the others who would be pursuing him. He, Zhang Shuren, would still have to return to Circumference Mountain as soon as possible.
Of course, he would not have thought then that it would actually be him and Yuan Xiancheng who would be chased back by Yan Zhaoge.
Still, the outcome was the same.
What Zhang Shuren needed to do now was still as he had planned. He needed to stably guard Circumference Mountain, keeping a close eye on the intersection of the south and southeast, not letting Yan Zhaoge join up with the experts of the southeast.
Next, he only had to wait patiently for the 'Blazing King' Peng He and the others to catch up.
It was just that Yan Zhaoge's strength had truly surpassed his predictions. This made it more difficult for him to wait for reinforcements.
Under such circumstances, it was even less likely that Zhang Shuren would take the risk.
Even if Yan Zhaoge cursed all eighteen generations of his ancestors outside, Zhang Shuren would not leave the grand formation to clash with him.
If you have the ability, break my formation. There is nothing I can do about that.
If you are unable to break my formation, when 'Blazing King' Peng He and the other peak experts of the south arrive, we will settle our scores. At that time, however powerful you are, only death awaits you.
While he had been exceptionally stifled and infuriated by Yan Zhaoge earlier, Zhang Shuren had already completely calmed down now.
This longtime Elder of Wutong Slope, an expert of the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm, no longer underestimated Yan Zhaoge in the slightest as he completely regarded him as an expert of the same level.
It was even to the extent that Zhang Shuren placed himself in a rather low position now, only hoping that he could do his best and not make any mistakes.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge basically understood what Zhang Shuren was thinking.
He smiled, shaking his head as he surveyed the surrounding area.
Beside him, Ah Hu said, "Young Master, with the way the other side is acting, it is like a tiger trying to bite a turtle."
"That might not necessarily be the case," The corners of Yan Zhaoge's lips rose, "I said that I would fight my way back. How could I possibly not have made any preparations at all?"
Accompanied by his gradual rise, his field of vision grew vaster as the surrounding heavens and earth were all within his field of vision.
The terrain around Circumference Mountain was rather flat as it was not as treacherous as the Announcing Peace Mountain Range.
Besides the mountains, the most eye-catching thing here was a large river.
