Like a clap of spring thunder, it shook the hearts of the people. The sound waves rolled and spread throughout the city. A light as bright as the sun erupted, illuminating the entire ancient city. Violent air currents swept out in a frenzy, stirring up thick tornadoes that crushed the surrounding buildings. Wood splinters and gravel flew in all directions. As the tide surged, the onlookers channeled their martial energy to defend themselves.{}
Swoosh!
Bang! Bang!
A figure shot out from the ball of light. In the sky, drops of blood sprinkled down. Then, he directly crashed into an inn below, destroying several houses before he barely stopped. The houses collapsed, burying him inside. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
That person was, of course, Feng Hao!
Even if it had been a sneak attack, even if Xue Yu had panicked and received the blow, he still wouldn't have been able to withstand the impact.
"Cough, cough!"
Opening his mouth, Feng Hao coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. His eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
At the moment when the two fists collided, he felt an extreme heat coming from Xue Yu's fist. Even though his left fist was in the shape of a Qilin's arm, he felt that his bones were about to burn, and his skin and flesh had suffered varying degrees of burns.
This was the first time his Qilin Arm had been injured!
"What kind of energy is that?It's not of the fire element or the metal element. What is it? "
Feng Hao couldn't figure out what kind of energy Xue Yu possessed. It was so powerful that it was impossible to defend against it and seemed capable of incinerating everything. If Feng Hao hadn't used his Qilin Arm and the Black Tortoise Formation to protect himself, his arm, or perhaps his entire body, would have been incinerated into nothingness!
This Nephrite Holy Son's strength was terrifying!
At this moment, Xue Yu was also pushed more than ten meters away by the energy in the sky. He was suspended in the air, and his pale face had turned purple. His expression was extremely gloomy.
He was Xue Yu, a proud son of heaven and the future prime of the Nephrite Sacred Land. His talents were on par with the heavens, and he could easily kill opponents above his level, let alone those of the same cultivation level. But now, he'd been forced into retreat by a mere grandmaster!
The rage in his heart surged, and his eyes were bright like two blazing suns. They were so intimidating that no one dared to look at them directly.
"Rumble …"
A muffled thunder-like sound reverberated as streams of visible energy slowly flowed out of his body. The surrounding space was affected by this energy and started to fluctuate like ripples.
"Damn it!"
Xue Yu clenched his teeth so hard that they almost broke. His internal organs were constantly being burned by the flames of anger, causing smoke to come out of his seven orifices.
This was a great humiliation!
The noise in the surroundings also gradually quietened down. No one dared to make any strange movements, because everyone knew what the situation in front of them represented.
A peak grandmaster had forced him into retreat. What if they were at the same level?Didn't that mean that the sloppy man wasn't that much weaker than him?
The proud and arrogant Xue Yu couldn't stand it. Anyone who made the slightest sound of mockery was sure to be greeted with a torrent of attacks.
What a pity, though. That man was only a peak grandmaster. He was surely dead this time. Even a third-realm grandmaster would undoubtedly die from that heavy blow!
"Just now … how did that kid do it?"
An old antique narrowed his eyes, his gaze trembling.
His speed was uncannily fast, and he'd disappeared without a trace. Many of the old antiques frowned.
Hearing the old antique's words, the crowd finally remembered. That's right, how did he do it just now?He'd moved a hundred meters in an instant, and even the old antiques had been fooled. Was this really something a grandmaster could do?
Xue Yu also withdrew his aura and frowned in thought.
If he hadn't reacted so hastily just now, how could he have been forced back by a grandmaster?
It was as if … he'd teleported here just like that!
"Could it be Ethereal Treading?"
An old antique from a sacred ground said with some surprise, causing the crowd's hearts to tremble.
"How is that possible?"
The crowd shook their heads in denial. They couldn't accept the fact that a grandmaster could walk on Ethereal Treading. It could no longer be described as heaven-defying.
"Absolutely impossible. Only a saint can walk on Ethereal Treading. He's just a grandmaster. Even if he had the ability to enter the void, he would still be killed by the flowing light!"
An old fogey shook his white beard as he spoke, shaking his head.
"If he didn't walk on Ethereal Treading, how could a grandmaster's speed escape my eyes?"
The old antique from a sacred ground snorted coldly, clearly displeased.
In truth, he didn't want to believe it either. However, the truth was that the man's speed seemed to be treading on Ethereal Treading, leaving no trace behind.
His words caused the crowd to slowly quiet down. No one could find any words to refute him.
"Could he be Grand Inferno?!"
A cry of surprise came from the crowd, disrupting the silence in the room.
"Grand Inferno?"
A single piece of information appeared in the minds of some of the Nephrite Region's people.
This Grand Inferno had been the talk of the Nephrite Region not long ago. He'd been able to escape the pursuit of a large sect palace and more than a dozen sects with his strength as a grandmaster. He'd relied on his ability to walk on Ethereal Treading!
Moreover, there were rumors that Grand Inferno had a monstrous arm. His defense was shockingly high, able to withstand the attacks of a third or fourth level martial honorable.
Compared to Snow Feather, he didn't seem to be any different. The only difference was his appearance.
"No way!Could Master Snow Feather really be that Grand Inferno?! "
Cries of alarm immediately rang out, and everyone's eyes were filled with fear.
To this day, a great sect palace and more than a dozen sects had yet to withdraw their pursuit of Hao Fen. But now, he'd changed his appearance and roamed freely in Nephrite Ancient City for many days. Not only that, he'd become the champion of the Earth level of the Xiangshi Grand Competition, and had even defeated the legendary Xiangshi Master Xiao En and a host of other Heaven level masters!
Could these two people be the same person?
It was said that Grand Inferno was a young man not even twenty years old. If this Snow Feather really was Grand Inferno, then this young man's talent was too terrifying. In terms of strangeness, he didn't seem to be inferior to the Nephrite Holy Son, Xue Yu.
One had to know that Grand Inferno had escaped from the encirclement of three martial king powerhouses. Could Xue Yu do the same?
Impossible!
No one knew Xue Yu's true strength, but it was a little unrealistic to say that he was comparable to a martial king.
Due to the huge commotion, more and more people gathered in the area. Xue Yu's expression changed and he was about to leave, but the movement of the ruins below caused him to slow down.
