Above the ripples stood an incomparably burly and majestic figure. He wore a fiery red robe and looked to be around thirty years old.
He held a giant golden hammer in his hand, and continuously smashed it against the invisible barrier that was formed by the formation. Although there was no sound coming from it, its might was extremely terrifying, as if the giant hammer could even smash a huge hole in the sky.
After a short while, the ripples covered the surrounding space of the Nine Palace Mountain, and following the bombardment of the giant hammer, it became more and more intense, as if the invisible barrier could collapse at any time.
Tang Huan could not help but look at Liu Li in the blink of an eye, only to see that she still had a smile on her face, and was calm and composed.
Not long later, the violent fluctuations had already passed through the invisible barrier created by the formation and arrived, causing the entire Nine Palace Mountain to tremble.
Whoosh.
A slight sound of something tearing through the air suddenly rang out, and three figures appeared at the peak of the mountain at almost the same time. They were Mo Wuyun, Hua Tian Chi and Ling Tian, and immediately after, the nine spirits and Xiao Budian who were cultivating in the palace were also alarmed. With a flash of their figures, they arrived beside Tang Huan and looked up.
They had a premonition that this day would come sooner or later, but now that they saw the commotion high up in the sky with their own eyes, they couldn't help but be surprised.
"Rumble …"
After a short while, an earth-shattering sound suddenly rang out.
The invisible barrier that enveloped the Nine Palace Mountain was like ice and snow under the scorching sun, instantly disappearing without a trace. The terrifying Strength Qi was like a waterfall, pouring down from where the red-clothed brawny man was, with the force of a thunderbolt, as if it could smash the entire Nine Palace Mountain into smithereens.
"Liu Li, this formation of yours doesn't seem to be much."
High up in the sky, the red-clothed brawny man couldn't help but laugh out loud. His voice was deafening like thunder, "It broke so quickly. You can't even withstand a few casual strikes from me."
As he spoke, a sinister look flashed across the red-clothed brawny man's eyes. The giant hammer in his hand suddenly smashed down, and the Strength Qi that poured down immediately became even more berserk, as if it was an ancient beast that had just broken free from its cage, and could tear any obstacle in front of it into pieces.
Liu Li raised her eyebrows and swept her sleeves towards the sky.
"Hu!"
A loud whistling sound echoed out, and a dense white and green aura spiraled up, instantly transforming into a huge whirlpool, colliding with the terrifying Strength Qi that was roaring down from the sky.
There was no ear-piercing sound, nor was there any earth-shattering collision …
However, the moment the two came into contact, the incomparably berserk Strength Qi was like a clay ox entering the sea, and was instantly swallowed up by the white and green vortex. With a flick of Liu Li's finger, the whirlpool rapidly shrank into a small ball and shot towards the red-clothed man in the sky like a meteor.
"Hmm?"
The red-robed man's pupils shrank as he swung his hammer once again. The body of the hammer glowed brightly.
In just a split-second, the golden hammer collided with the extremely condensed vortex, causing a thunderous sound to ring out. With the collision as the center, a terrifying shockwave roared out in all directions. In an instant, the red-clothed man seemed to have suffered a heavy blow as his body explosively retreated.
"Lian Jin, your strength doesn't seem to be that great!"
Liu Li curled her lips in disdain.
In the blink of an eye, she looked at Tang Huan and introduced him: "Little brother Tang Huan, this guy is called Lian Jin, an Empyrean from the Cloud Dream Sky 'Unparalleled Dao Sect'. He is ranked thirty-six on the revered list, far weaker than me, big sister. I really don't know where he got the confidence to run over to big sister's place."
"Liu Li, do you think I came alone?"
High up in the sky, Lian Jin, who had retreated dozens of kilometers in an instant, finally stabilized her body. With a sneer, she once again shot forward explosively, but her expression had already become rather ugly.
Although it was only a probing exchange, from the result just now, it could be seen that the difference in strength between him and Liu Li was not small. They were both Empyreans, and he had stepped into the Empyrean Realm far earlier than Liu Li. However, Liu Li's casual attack had forced him back.
"I don't think you dare to come alone!" Liu Li laughed mockingly, and immediately shouted out loud, "Everyone, since you're already here, why don't you show yourself?"
"The Sky Sovereign is right."
Almost at the instant Liu Li finished speaking, a burst of laughter that sounded like a great bell resounded throughout the world.
It was an old man in a green robe. His face was ugly, and he was short and skinny like a dwarf. However, although his body was small, his voice was shockingly loud and clear, "Since you're already here, why are you still hiding like this? You're making a joke out of yourself!"
"This old man is Lacquer Carving Yan. Greetings, Empyrean Liu-Li."
The short elder cupped his hands towards Liu Li who was at the peak of the nine palaces, and his body shot forward like lightning. As he spoke, he was already less than a kilometer away from Liu Li, Tang Huan and the others.
Liu Li smiled as she cupped her hands in greeting, "So it's the Painted Sky Sovereign. With your appearance, you actually dare to come out and make a fool of yourself. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by others?"
The smile on the Lacquer Carving Yan's face immediately froze. A strong hostility almost condensed into substance as it gushed out from the depths of his eyes. He said angrily, "Liu Li, this old man treats you with respect, yet you say such malicious words to this old man. Do you really think that this old man is made of clay?"
"Treat me with respect?"
Liu Li scoffed, "Lacquer Carving Yan, if you don't find it tiring to put on airs like this, I will find it tiring for you? I am very clear about the intentions of you, this Lian Jin, and the surrounding fellows. All of you are well aware of it as well. Stop talking nonsense. What do you plan to do next? Just say it. "
The Lacquer Carving Yan was infuriated, his face alternating between green and red.
According to common sense, even if they were destined to fall out, both sides would still be able to maintain their calm on the surface before falling out. However, this Liu Li did not play according to common sense at all. The moment they met, she mocked and ridiculed him without holding back, almost forcing him to immediately fall out with her.
After exchanging a glance with Lian Jin, the Lacquer Carving Yan said in a deep voice, "Liu Li, since you've said it like this, then this old man will not beat around the bush with you."
"This old man and the others are here for the Tang Huan by your side."
The Lacquered Carving Yan's gaze landed on Tang Huan, and said slowly, "Such a talented Weapon Refiner, leaving him in your Nine Palace Mountain, is truly a waste of a heavenly treasure. Hand him over to this old man to bring back to the 'Unparalleled Dao Sect'. Our Unparalleled Dao Sect will definitely not treat him unfairly. You can rest assured about this. "
