The voice belonged to none other than Zi Xinghe of the Guardian Guild. There were about 80 people with him, each of them a formidable combatant. A decent number of them were Great Saints, and they even had several pseudo-Gods in the group. With such experts, they could be considered one of the strongest groups in the ancient battlefield.
Zi Xinghe had been holding a grudge against Xiang Shaoyun ever since the humiliation he had received. This time, he was here to pay Xiang Shaoyun back.
Xiang Shaoyun swept his gaze at them and smiled. "Are you thinking of bullying us with your numbers?"
"You're wrong. Against a bastard with decent strength like you, fairness does not exist. Not only will you die but also your companions. As for your women, I'll own them on behalf of you," declared Zi Xinghe arrogantly.
"Owning my women?" Xiang Shaoyun's face sank.
"Hmph. This is the ancient battlefield. Not even Ge Yi can find out about this if all of you died here. Guardian Lu, Guardian Luo, kill him. Watch out, his combat strength and trump cards are not weak at all," said Zi Xinghe as he deployed the two pseudo-Gods by his side against Xiang Shaoyun.
Zi Xinghe was backed by a big shot from the Guardians Guild. He was born with a regal status. With a good talent in cultivation, he had also been supported with a large number of resources. He had brought a lot of help for his expedition into the ancient battlefield to ensure his life and guarantee he would place on the Heaven Battling Ranking.
At Zi Xinghe's command, two middle-aged men walked forward. One was dressed in a crude sleeveless garment showcasing his explosive muscles. The numerous scars on his body served as the medal of honor to prove his status as an expert who had survived countless slaughter. The other person was clad in a gray cape that hid his actual appearance. Only a pair of sharp and penetrating eyes could be seen.
The two were respectively Lu Meng and Luo Ying, both fifth-stage pseudo-Gods. Also, they were strong enough to fight beyond their class. Ordinary pseudo-Gods were nothing before them. Without the two of them, Zi Xinghe wouldn't have dared to look for Xiang Shaoyun.
"Being a Great Saint who can strike fear in Young Master Zi's heart at your age, you must be rather impressive. Come, take my punch," said Lu Meng with his eyes narrowed. Both his arms possessed a stone-like gleam as he threw them out.
Stone Cannon Skypunch!
Lu Meng's bloodline power was extremely formidable. With his bloodline, his arms turned into stone and enlarged. His punch was akin to a heavenly missile that was filled with dominance. Not even a ninth-stage pseudo-God would be able to survive that attack.
Xiang Shaoyun could clearly see the trajectory of the attack and sense how powerful the attack was. He moved to narrowly avoid it before shooting forth like a bullet. Shrouded in wind energy, both his legs whipped toward Lu Meng. A powerful storm whirled into existence, sinking the space around them into chaos with its tearing force.
"Such puny wind power is nothing," said Lu Meng with a sneer as he unleashed a second attack, blasting the incoming storm apart.
It was at that time that Luo Ying made his move. His cape rose and transformed into a massive curtain that billowed forward, attempting to envelop Xiang Shaoyun. Xiang Shaoyun did not expect the cape to actually be a god-grade weapon. Before he could move away, the cape enveloped him.
"Die!" Lu Meng rushed over and punched at the cape mercilessly with both his fists. His ferocious fists were unstoppable.
With Xiang Shaoyun wrapped in the cape, Xiang Shaoyun's death seemed imminent.
"Haha, Xiang Shaoyun, you're screwed!" Zi Xinghe laughed smugly.
"You bastards! I'll kill all of you!" roared Yu Caidie furiously as she charged over with her phoenix. With her phoenix sword in hand, she unleashed a flaming ray as powerful as an attack from a peak Great Saint.
At the same time, Devil Concubine finished her opponent and transformed into a gust of wind. With a swing of her yin yang sword, she unleashed the power of time and instantly reached Zi Xinghe's group.
"Kill everyone apart from the women," commanded Zi Xinghe.
The people behind him rushed forth and engaged Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine in an intense battle. At this time, Devouring Ghost rushed over with his blood demon. He did not believe that Xiang Shaoyun would be killed so easily.
As for the others, they were still dealing with the humans controlled by the remnant souls. Liu Qingchen was battling the God Realm remnant soul, so he couldn't spare a hand either. Underneath the cape, Xiang Shaoyun had sustained a slight injury, but the injury was far from enough to take his life.
After all, Xiang Shaoyun was someone with a true god body. No matter how strong Luo Meng's punches were, they wouldn't be able to seriously harm him. Luo Ying could sense Xiang Shaoyun's aura. His cape hurriedly tightened around Xiang Shaoyun, attempting to crush Xiang Shaoyun to death.
"Trying to kill me with this? That's not possible," Xiang Shaoyun roared as a raging flame ignited around him. The flame was powered by his primal chaos energy, resulting in a dreadful burning force that instantly lit the cape aflame.
"Oh? Still struggling? Just die already!" said Luo Ying with a frown.
Corpsebind Crush!
As he channeled his energy into the cape, the cape erupted with a formidable crushing power, sending wave after wave of domineering power upon Xiang Shaoyun. Xiang Shaoyun felt the cape tighten around him, putting him in an intense pain that only served to further infuriate him.
"Piss off!" He unleashed a pair of draconic-like flaming claws with all his strength. The power of his god body, which was akin to a divine weapon, combined with the primal chaos flame and tore the cape apart. The instant the cape was torn apart, Lu Meng's stone fist reached Xiang Shaoyun's head.
"What's the point of having only brute strength? You should piss off as well!" said Xiang Shaoyun as he brandished both his palms, swatting the fist away with one palm while his other palm traveled underneath Lu Meng's armpit and struck him. Lu Meng was sent flying.
At this time, Luo Ying reacted and reached out to claw the back of Xiang Shaoyun's head with a pair of eagle claws. An eagle's cry accompanied his fatal attack as his eagle claws locked onto Xiang Shaoyun's life.
"Since you've had your fun beating me up earlier, it's my turn to do some beating!" said Xiang Shaoyun. He immediately flipped around as if he had a pair of eyes on his back and threw kicks toward Luo Ying's head with both his legs.
Luo Ying hurriedly blocked and unleashed a series of claws toward the kicks, tearing even space apart with his sharp claws. At the same time, Lu Meng charged over and combined both his fists into one, unleashing an even more terrifying technique. The two worked well together; their attacks were strong enough to slay Gods.
"Good. I'll send both of you to the afterlife together!" said Xiang Shaoyun as he unleashed a furious punch at them with all his strength.
Three Lives Fist!
