Suddenly, a breeze blew and rustling sounds could be heard in the forest. It was the faintly discernible sound of countless blades of grass colliding with each other. Although it sounded light, it was very powerful.
Amidst the gentle breeze, a resolute and decisive sound that resembled the sound of metal striking stone suddenly rang out. It pierced through the silent royal garden and landed heavily on everyone's heart.
"If you want to fight, I will fight …"
A silhouette strode over. Wherever he passed, people would involuntarily back away.
That thin figure, that determined face, that sharp gaze, that tightly shut mouth, and that steel-like strong will swept through everyone's heart like a storm.
Shui Xuan Jin's eyes revealed a trace of a smile. When He Yiming mentioned that topic, he had a sudden realization. When Cheng Fu unexpectedly raised the challenge, he already understood in his heart that for some unknown reason, He Yiming had already anticipated this.
Since He Yiming was willing to become the Guardian of the Tian Luo Kingdom at this time, then he would definitely accept the challenge before Shui Xuan Jin.
It was a feeling, a pure feeling. Although the two of them did not communicate because of this, there was already an inexplicable tacit understanding between them.
The smile in his eyes grew even wider. He was indeed happy, but not because someone had helped him out of his predicament. Instead, he was happy because before he died, he was able to make such a good friend despite the difference in age.
He Yiming's footsteps seemed slow, but they were actually fast. It seemed like he had just walked out of the tent, step by step, but just like that, he arrived in front of Cheng Fu.
He Yiming cupped his hands in front of him and said in a clear voice, "Master Cheng, please …"
Cheng Fu's expression was extremely solemn. He looked at He Yiming with a complicated gaze and sighed softly, "Master He, today I am representing the Kai Rong Kingdom to challenge the Guardian of the Tian Luo Kingdom. You really shouldn't interfere."
He Yiming laughed loudly and a powerful aura suddenly rose from his body, "Master Cheng, you might not know, but just now, I have accepted Master Shui's invitation to become the second Guardian of the Tian Luo Kingdom."
It was as if the lid of a pot of boiling water had been opened. Those people even forgot that there were two Xiantian Masters present. They were excitedly talking about something, as if they wanted to vent the joy in their hearts.
In the Northwest Countries, other than the three strongest countries, there were definitely no more than ten countries that had two Guardian Masters.
If He Yiming's words were to spread, it was guaranteed that the entire Tian Luo Kingdom's surrounding forces would be shaken.
Cheng Fu's eyes suddenly sharpened, while the two princes and princesses of the Kai Rong Kingdom revealed a trace of disappointment and anger.
They also didn't expect that He Yiming would actually agree to Shui Xuan Jin's request so quickly. For a Xiantian master, this speed was a little too hasty.
Cheng Fu's gaze finally locked onto He Yiming. He silently felt the aura from He Yiming's body and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Not only him, but even Shui Xuan Jin's eyes flashed with a strange light.
Both of them were Xiantian masters, so from the aura released by He Yiming, they could feel a powerful Metal Attribute energy.
This was a kind of energy that had already obtained the essence of the Metal Attribute. That kind of sharp and seemingly indestructible aura was like a sharp spear that could cut through everything in front of it.
Shui Xuan Jin's heart was inexplicably shocked. He had been in contact with He Yiming for such a long time and had even sensed his epiphany. He thought that He Yiming was definitely a Xiantian Master who had mastered the Water Attribute energy. It was just that when he was practicing the Clairaudient skill, the hidden Wind Attribute talent in his body was stimulated.
However, he never expected that He Yiming's body would suddenly erupt with such a strong power of the Metal Attribute. His eyes suddenly sparkled, and he was filled with new expectations for this young man who was like a bottomless pit.
Perhaps, he would really be able to defeat the renowned Cheng Fu, who had experienced an epiphany in the past, in such a situation.
Cheng Fu lowered his gaze slightly and said with a faint smile, "Master Shui, has the Tian Luo Kingdom decided to let Master He accept our challenge?"
He directly asked Shui Xuan Jin about this question and didn't even ask the Tian Luo King. However, Yu Ruipei didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction. Instead, he looked nervously at Shui Xuan Jin.
Shui Xuan Jin waved his hand lightly and said, "Brother He, since Little Brother He is the Master Protector of our Tian Luo Kingdom, then of course he is qualified to fight. Don't tell me that Master Cheng doesn't even understand this principle?"
Cheng Fu chuckled, and the aura around his body gradually grew stronger and stronger.
It was like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time and was gradually erupting at this moment.
"Master He, I cultivate the Fire Attribute energy. If you know that you are no match for me, it's not too late to change your opponent now." Although his voice was solemn, there was a trace of disdain in his tone.
If it was Shui Xuan Jin's Wind Attribute energy, then of course he would be afraid. However, since He Yiming cultivated the Metal Attribute energy, then there was nothing for him to worry about.
In his raging fire, any metal or stone would only end up being burned to ashes.
He Yiming smiled proudly. He stretched out both of his hands and gradually clenched them into fists. His fists were strangely suffused with a trace of metal color.
Then, he took a big step forward and crossed his fists. Immediately, fist shadows flew out and covered the sky like a huge boulder rolling toward Cheng Fu.
A trace of astonishment flashed across Cheng Fu's face. In his eyes, this set of fist techniques was naturally not something good. However, the aura emitted from He Yiming's body finally made him feel a trace of fear.
In his eyes, He Yiming seemed to have really turned into a huge boulder that was rolling toward him heavily.
The Metal Attribute energy was sharp and hard. It was the peak of impact and was invincible on the battlefield.
However, at this moment, He Yiming gave the Metal Attribute Cultivation Method a different meaning.
Although the wind from his fists was sharp, it was far from being as sharp and terrifying as other Metal Attribute techniques. However, this Metal Attribute technique had an additional concept that was endless. In Cheng Fu's eyes, he even felt a trace of a flowing stream.
Using a Metal Attribute Battle Skill, but using a Water Attribute Technique fist intent.
For a moment, Cheng Fu only felt a big headache …
Seeing that the chain of fists was about to close in, Cheng Fu finally snorted angrily. His palms instantly turned fiery red like charcoal. With a slight movement, even the air seemed to have become scorching hot.
In an instant, a wall of fire seemed to have appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It was an attack net formed by countless fiery palms in an instant.
Countless muffled sounds were suddenly heard from between the two of them. Every loud sound was like someone was shouting with all their might beside their ears.
In just a few breaths' time, many people covered their ears and fell back. They only dared to stop when they had retreated to an extremely far place. Then, their eyes were filled with fear as they looked over.
The wall of fire suddenly dispersed. Cheng Fu's feet danced nimbly, just like the flame on top of a firework, making it hard for others to catch him.
Wherever he passed, a pair of clear footprints would be left on the ground. The area under the footprints and around them were all charred black.
His footsteps were extremely fast. In just a moment, the footprints on the ground were overlapping and densely packed. It was impossible to count them in detail. The area where he moved seemed to have become a piece of charred land that had been ravaged by flames.
Sparks flew, and the prairie was set ablaze.
The true essence of the power of fire was also perfectly reflected in his fist technique.
However, even though He Yiming's fist technique, which was like a real fire, was trapped within, it was still unable to do anything to this strange Metal Attribute technique.
He Yiming's fists were still waving around. His figure was still moving as if he was practicing his fist technique.
In his body, the Ripple Technique was circulating like flowing water. With the powerful Water-type True Qi and the Metal Attribute fist technique, he unleashed a set of unique Rolling Stone Fists.
He was like a rock in a latrine pit that was constantly rolling in a raging fire. No matter how rampant the fire was, it was unable to melt this huge, smelly, and hard rock.
He Yiming's aura grew stronger and stronger. The Rolling Stone Fists' characteristic of accumulating aura was gradually released. Slowly, in the sea of fire, the size of the rock seemed to grow larger and larger. Finally, it reached an unbelievable size.
"Bang …"
He Yiming channeled his Qi into his Dantian. His tongue was like thunder, and he suddenly let out an angry roar that was like a thunderbolt.
He suddenly raised his hands high. The powerful aura accumulated by the Rolling Stone Fists was instantly triggered by this move, and it completely exploded.
Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms, the sixteenth form …
A huge and unavoidable force instantly broke through the sea of fire, directly breaking through the wall of fire, and arrived in front of Cheng Fu's chest.
At this moment, He Yiming's fists were no longer like huge rocks. Instead, it was as if they had been burned and refined by a raging fire, dispersing all the impurities in the rock, and finally condensing into a huge glaive that was enough to split the heavens and earth.
He raised his palms high, like the edge of a blade. He was like a devil incarnate that had broken through the endless void from the deepest part of hell, and once again returned to his opponent. He brought with him a crazy and ruthless aura that covered the sky and the sun as he charged forward.
At this moment, the Metal Attribute energy was finally displayed to its fullest.
Cheng Fu's eyes suddenly narrowed. He finally understood that the Metal Attribute energy could also be continuously accumulated through this method, and then finally explode.
This final eruption of energy that was far more powerful than usual was the trump card that He Yiming dared to challenge him.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that under the shroud of his opponent's aura, he could no longer avoid it.
Letting out a deep sigh, he crossed his palms. His hands that were like two large iron rods that were completely red from being burned in charcoal suddenly shrank back into his sleeves.
He waved his hands, and accompanied by a whistling sound that was like a strong wind, a pair of sleeves flew up to meet the attack.
A loud bang exploded between the two people's fists and palms. It was a sound that seemed to directly explode in one's heart. It shook one's heart, and it was difficult to control oneself.
The crowd retreated once again. Even He Quanxin and his son were shocked as they watched this battle that seemed to have far exceeded the limits of the human body.
Every punch of the two people contained not only the power of their bodies, but also the power of nature.
The fierceness of the fire and the sharpness of the Metal Attribute were deeply entangled at every moment, as if the entire world was involved in it.
The two of them had also seen the battle between He Yiming and Lu Xinwen before, but it was only now that they understood that there was an extremely huge gap even between Xiantian powerhouses.
Compared to He Yiming and Cheng Fu, Lu Xinwen seemed like a child who had just learned how to walk. He was simply unable to step up to the stage.
The father and son looked at each other. When did Yiming become so powerful? In just a few short months, he seemed to have been reborn as a completely different person. If he continued at this rate, what level would he reach in the future?
With He Yiming and Lu Xinwen as the center, there was no one else within a radius of 200 meters.
Even Shui Xuanjin retreated far away with his hands behind his back. Although he was not like the others who would be afraid of this degree of damage from the Qi of Heaven and Earth, he did not want to exert any influence on the two people fighting in the field.
The eyes of Yu Xiaoyi and the others were filled with extreme shock.
They all knew that Xiantian powerhouses were very strong, to the point that they were inhuman. They were not something that ordinary people could resist. Even those who had just stepped into the Xiantian realm had enough strength to fight against ten thousand people.
However, when they saw a fight between Xiantian powerhouses for the first time, they knew that humans could be so powerful.
In their eyes, the two people in the field were no longer human. They were simply a ball of fire, a blade.
A ball of fire that could burn everything in the world, a huge glaive that could split the sky and earth, and tear the void.
※ ※ ※
After a loud bang, Cheng Fu flew up. He seemed to be unable to withstand the impact of He Yiming's powerful essential Qi and flew high into the sky.
At this moment, Yu Ruipei and the others were delighted, but the Third Prince of Rong Kingdom and the others were pale. They no longer had the joy of winning the championship.
Compared to the loss of the Protector of the Kingdom, no matter how many beasts they hunted, it was not worth mentioning.
However, Shui Xuanjin's face changed slightly. He sighed in his heart. What a pity.
Among the five elements, although Southern Fire suppressed Western Gold, He Yiming used an extremely strange method to accumulate his aura to the extreme and burst it out in an instant. Not only did he break the power of fire, but he also completely suppressed it.
Under such circumstances, even if it was Cheng Fu, he could only retreat with injuries and lose the ability to continue fighting. This was the only possibility.
However, on his body, there was a special long robe that was not a precious weapon, but in terms of defense, it was not inferior to a precious weapon.
In mid-air, Cheng Fu waved his hands, and the sleeves of his long robe suddenly fluttered like butterflies. The sleeves, which were made of fire silk and steel wire from an active volcano, were completely destroyed by the Xiantian essential Qi of the two masters.
He Yiming also sighed in his heart. This was a bare-handed battle. If weapons were used, and he had the glaive in his hand, not to mention two pieces of the sleeves, even if he was given a tortoise shell, he would definitely be able to cut it in two.
He stepped forward and was about to give chase when he saw the tattered sleeves that were fluttering in the sky suddenly cut through the space, with a sharp whistling sound, and flew towards him.
He Yiming's eyes narrowed slightly, and alternately punched out with his fists. In the blink of an eye, he had already set up an inescapable net in front of him. The pieces of the sleeves were like nails hitting a hammer, and they fell powerlessly one by one. They were no longer a threat.
However, in just a breath's time, Cheng Fu had already landed on the ground from mid-air.
At this moment, he looked extremely disheveled, especially his bare arms, which looked indescribably comical.
Nevertheless, in front of the garden, no one dared to laugh at all. Their minds were still immersed in the fierce battle just now. They were terrified from the bottom of their hearts towards these two monsters in human skin. How could they dare to make fun of them?
Cheng Fu's expression was extremely calm, and he did not feel the slightest bit of shame, irritation, or resentment from the loss just now. At this moment, his spirit had also risen to an unprecedented level.
In the Hall of Masters in Kai Rong Country, there were a total of ten Xiantian Masters.
Among the ten Xiantian Masters, although Cheng Fu was not the strongest, he was at least ranked in the top five.
It had only been twenty years since he stepped into the Xiantian Realm. However, unlike ordinary Xiantian Masters who cultivated in seclusion and slowly accumulated the power of Heaven and Earth and used Xiantian Qi to cleanse their bodies, he chose a more difficult path of cultivation.
The year after he became a Xiantian Master, he left his family and traveled barefoot to the distant Southern Border Islands.
In that dangerous sea area, he experienced ten years of hardships and stepped on countless uninhabited islands. Finally, when the volcano erupted, he comprehended the essence of the power of fire and entered the state of enlightenment that all Xiantian experts yearned for even in their dreams.
Epiphany, once he had an epiphany, he immediately became a dragon.
At that moment, his Xiantian Qi had made great progress, and the Fire Cultivation Method that he practiced had reached an incredible level.
It was precisely because of this that he had the confidence to challenge Shui Xuanjin, who had stepped into the Xiantian Realm for more than a hundred years.
Not everyone had the qualifications to challenge a hundred-year-old Xiantian Master with a twenty-year-old Xiantian Master.
However, he did not expect that there would be an opponent stronger than him in front of him.
In the previous blow, he had already determined that the Xiantian True Qi that his opponent had mastered was even more powerful than his own.
The information that the Third Prince, Zhan Zhichao, had inquired about flashed in his mind.
That group of idiots, this person was not less than twenty years old, but had stepped into the Xiantian Realm for less than twenty years …
※ ※ ※
Time seemed to have frozen at this moment.
The two Xiantian Masters faced each other from a distance. Their gazes met in the air, and the strong momentum seemed to create beautiful sparks in an instant, spreading their power in all directions.
Unknowingly, with them as the center, a larger area was emptied out.
Although no one was willing to see this rare showdown between Xiantian Masters, no one was willing to enter this circle and be inexplicably implicated.
Cheng Fu slowly raised his hand, and his voice was low and powerful. "Master He, I once witnessed a volcanic eruption on the Southern Border Archipelago and was inspired by it. I created a set of lava techniques, and I would like to ask for Master He's guidance."
He Yiming's heart trembled, but his expression did not change. He said, "I was just about to ask for guidance."
Cheng Fu nodded slightly, and his figure moved in the next moment.
What was different from before was that this time, his figure was no longer like a flickering flame. Instead, he had suddenly turned into a red ocean.
He left an afterimage in the space in a very short period of time at an extremely fast speed, and his flashing red clothes instantly turned into a dazzling light. His whole person seemed to have turned into the lava that rolled down from a high place after a volcanic eruption, constantly washing everything in the world.
The temperature of the surrounding air seemed to have risen to an unbearable level in an instant.
Although the actual effect was not as exaggerated as what everyone had imagined, when they saw the red ocean that looked like lava splashing everywhere, everyone's eyes could not help but think of the terrifying scene of a volcanic eruption.
Even if they had not personally experienced it, Cheng Fu at this moment forcibly displayed the scene in everyone's hearts.
The ability to reproduce one's own feelings through the exchange of the Qi of Heaven and Earth was definitely a type of ability that was born after an epiphany.
At this moment, He Yiming slightly closed his eyes, and he immediately felt a huge pressure coming from his surroundings.
It was as if he was no longer surrounded by the Imperial Garden, but had suddenly arrived on a huge island.
The highest point on the island was a huge gap, and that was a huge volcano that was erupting.
The volcano roared angrily like a huge monster, spewing out hot smoke and flowing brown flames. The surrounding mountains seemed to be on fire; white-hot hail, dark red smoke clouds, and rocket-like lava intertwined to form a huge kaleidoscope.
And he was right in the center of this kaleidoscope, as if he would fall into the boiling lava at any time, and become nothing but ashes.
He suddenly realized that in this sea of fire where the power of fire had been exerted to the extreme, the power of metal was indeed unimaginably suppressed. He could no longer use the method of accumulating his aura to break through this sea of fire.
He sighed deeply, and at this moment, he felt as if he had returned to the peak of the mountain in the past.
The mountain rain that kept falling from the sky, and the clouds that covered the Endless Mountains in the distance.
A gust of wind blew, causing ripples to appear in this picturesque picture. It was as if there was a pair of invisible hands gently pushing from behind, causing the picture in his mind to "come to life".
Suddenly, everyone inexplicably felt that in front of them, there seemed to be a drizzle. This drizzle was not heavy, but it seemed to be omnipresent and all-encompassing.
Then, a mass of clouds and mist spread out, as if they had always existed here, as if they had existed for thousands of years.
They suddenly realized that the terrifying sea of fire had disappeared, and the lava that seemed to be able to destroy the world had disappeared.
The original red world had been replaced by white wind, rain, clouds, and mist.
Cool breeze, drizzle, clouds, and mist …
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Not many of them could understand what had happened.
Only Shui Xuanjin's eyes widened, and even he was affected by the sudden appearance of this strange scene.
When Cheng Fu had exerted the power of fire to the strongest extent, as if he had turned into a sea of lava, he was indeed worried for He Yiming.
This kind of secret technique that was comprehended from enlightenment was not something that an ordinary Xiantian master could easily resist by absorbing the power of heaven and earth for a long time.
Only when a certain kind of power was exerted to the extreme could it cause the power of heaven and earth to resonate, and make others feel the same way.
Even if it was Shui Xuanjin himself, when encountering such an incredible secret technique, he could only rely on his hundred years of hard work to stimulate the purest of his Xiantian Qi to barely protect himself.
However, He Yiming's performance once again shocked him.
It turned out that this young man, who was not even twenty years old, had really completely grasped the power of the wind, rain, clouds, and mist.
When these four kinds of power were displayed and wrapped around the sea of fire, Shui Xuanjin knew that the result of this battle had been decided.
It was as if the clouds and rain that had filled the air had suddenly dispersed without a sound.
Everything returned to normal, and there was no more sea of fire, no more clouds, no more rain, no more wind, and no more mist.
In this place, there was no flow of lava, nor was there any mountain rain, nor was there any lingering clouds.
In the center of the field, there were only two people. They stood calmly, as if they had not moved from the beginning to the end.
It was only then that they realized that everything they had just felt was just an illusion. The two people in front of them were the ones who had created this illusion that was like a real scene.
However, although everyone understood this, they were more in awe of them, and it was the kind of fear that was almost engraved in their bones.
Xiantian experts were the real masters of this world. The power they had mastered had exceeded the limits of the human body. In the face of such powerful power, even an army would collapse.
At this moment, the only thing left in their hearts was the fear of power.
※ ※ ※
Cheng Fu raised his hands, which had returned to normal and no longer had the strange fiery red color.
He cupped his fist at He Yiming and said, "I've lost."
Everyone's breathing suddenly stopped. Only after a breath did they realize the meaning behind those words.
Suddenly, countless cheers broke out from the crowd. Even Yu Xiaoyi and the others could not help but clench their fists and cheer. Compared to when Zhan Zhichao, the Third Prince of the Kairong Kingdom, had just won the hunting competition, the cheers of the Kairong Kingdom's attendants were countless times louder.
In the battle between the two Protectors of the Kingdom, their Protector of the Kingdom had won the final victory.
For all the officials of the Tian Luo Kingdom, this was an incomparably huge source of pride. They raised their heads one by one, and the depression that they had shown because of the failure of the hunting competition had disappeared at this moment.
However, the envoys of the Kingdom of Kairong were in sharp contrast. Their faces were unusually ugly, but there was an indescribable look of fear and respect in their eyes when they looked at He Yiming.
After seeing the battle just now, even the most unruly people would not have any disrespectful thoughts.
This was because they knew that in front of this person, they were like ants. As long as he wanted, he could pinch them to death without any room for resistance.
This was the power of an Innate Expert. The power that they grasped was definitely not something that an acquired inner strength cultivator could compare to.
Cheng Fu did not seem to have heard the voices outside. He suddenly asked, "Master He, the Universe Qi that day was triggered by you, right?"
Although he did not specify the exact date, the three Innate Experts present were very clear about it.
"Yes, it was triggered when I had an epiphany," He Yiming answered without hiding anything.
"An epiphany?" Cheng Fu smiled bitterly. "It was indeed an epiphany." He smiled bitterly. If he had known earlier, he would not have challenged Ou Yangming so rashly.
Unfortunately, the Qi of Heaven and Earth that day wasn't the energy of Fire. Thus, before he personally witnessed that scene, he would never have imagined that it would actually be an extremely rare experience of enlightenment.
He felt rather bitter because he had experienced more than 10 years and almost had a brush with death before he had an epiphany in the southern border. On the other hand, Ou Yangming did not even leave the small Kingdom of Tianluo, but he had a similar experience.
It was indeed impossible to compare people with each other.
He sighed softly and said to Yu Ruipei, who did not dare to come over, "Congratulations, Your Majesty." After saying that, he turned around and strode away with his bare arms. After a while, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Zhan Zhichao and his sister did not call out to him. They knew that Master Cheng wanted to find a place to be alone after his defeat. As long as they returned to the Kingdom of Kairong, they would most likely be able to meet him again.
Shui Xuan Jin walked forward and patted He Yiming's shoulder lightly. She smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"
He Yiming smiled and said, "I've benefited a lot."
"Accompany me for a drink." Shui Xuan Jin's voice was filled with an indescribable gratification. "I haven't been this happy in a long time."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Then, they walked side by side and left like the wind.
After the three Xiantian Masters had left, the entire garden once again erupted into thunderous cheers … ….
