Chapter 656: Crisis

This Carefree Eight Wastelands Step was obtained from the Yin-Yang Sect. In the past, this footwork was extremely useful for Yang Tian and was a life-saving divine ability.

Yang Xiao once said that this footwork was a martial technique derived from Carefree, while true Carefree was a supreme divine ability, soaring ninety thousand miles in a single whirlwind!

Now this footwork no longer had much use for Yang Tian, but Carefree's allure was unparalleled; he had coveted this step for a long time.

"Could there be Carefree Step in Carefree Valley?!" A hint of heat appeared in his eyes. Yang Tian licked his lips and said slowly in his heart.

All this happened in an instant. Eight shadows suddenly appeared around Yang Tian, each emitting an aura identical to Xiao Yuan's, like a technique of分身术.

"What a terrifying martial technique..." The crowd was shaken; even some experts found it hard to distinguish truth from falsehood.

"Boy, you have thoroughly angered me. I will make you die without a burial place!" The eight bodies spoke simultaneously, carrying sharp killing intent.

"You've said that a second time." Shaking his head, Yang Tian said calmly, "If you want to fight, hurry up. I'm in a hurry."

Although the Eight Wastelands Step was miraculous, Yang Tian also knew it, and was more proficient. A single glance revealed its strengths and weaknesses.

"Arrogant!" Xiao Yuan shouted deeply. The eight bodies moved instantly, simultaneously striking with palm force, slashing horizontally at Yang Tian.

From all directions, surging palm force came. Yang Tian simply ignored it; it was a deceptive technique, but extremely clever.

"Come out!" Yang Tian's body suddenly flickered, appearing directly before one of the shadows. The Dao sound boomed inside him, and overwhelming divine power erupted, blasting straight at Xiao Yuan's head.

"How is that possible?" A scream appeared. Xiao Yuan's face showed an expression of disbelief. He would rather die than believe that Yang Tian had guessed correctly.

Although terrified, his reaction was not slow. He opened his mouth and spat out a small golden shield, flowing with hazy divine radiance, colliding with the fist.

"Open for me!" Yang Tian shouted deeply. The golden river inside him trembled, and incomparable divine power spewed out, striking directly.

The surrounding people were stunned. Was this man reckless, directly striking a weapon?

Even Ning Xiu was full of shock, but Ning Xue remained calm. How terrifying was Yang Tian's physical body? In the Divine Garden, he had fought divine beasts and gained the upper hand.

With a loud bang, under the stunned gazes of the onlookers, the small shield was directly blasted apart by Yang Tian! His fist did not stop, striking Xiao Yuan's chest at lightning speed.

With a crack, the sound of breaking bones. Xiao Yuan was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning pale.

"Hiss..." An unbelievable change. Many people stood up, feeling incredulous. A genius of Carefree Valley was sent flying, and so powerfully.

"Is this guy a living being?" Someone was stunned. He had just blasted apart a small shield and sent Xiao Yuan's body flying.

"How can this little beast be so strong!" The middle-aged man's body stiffened, his face instantly darkening. Without a doubt, Xiao Yuan was doomed.

The Wu family group's faces turned cold to the extreme. They had thought this battle was a sure win, but the contrast was so great.

The Bai family members were excited, rubbing their eyes. Was this the person they had almost turned away? Too powerful, directly blasting apart a Dao artifact.

"I really can't figure out what his combat strength is now." Curling a strand of hair around her jade finger, Ning Xue patted her full chest and smiled inwardly.

Yang Tian had never shown his true strength, and many in the crowd thought this was just a casual strike.

"Roar... I'll kill you!" Xiao Yuan was furious, his disheveled hair wildly dancing. As a genius of Carefree Valley, being defeated by someone younger than him was unacceptable.

This was a red seal, shooting out red flames, blooming one wisp after another in the void, scorching hot. The surrounding people retreated, as their flesh and blood began to dry up.

The red seal struck horizontally, like surging divine flames bursting forth, easily tearing open the sky and evaporating rivers. Now, like magma, it fell toward Yang Tian's body.

"The Red Flame Seal. I didn't expect the Second Elder to bestow this artifact on him." A hint of heat flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he couldn't help licking his lips as he spoke.

"This artifact is not simple." Rubbing his nose, Yang Tian looked up at the red flames in the void. He gently raised his hand, and a terrifying vortex suddenly erupted.

Like a huge black hole, it rapidly absorbed the falling flames from the air!

Such a terrifying speed. The surrounding people were like stone statues, stunned. The terrifying flames in the void were all absorbed by Yang Tian, disappearing somewhere.

"This is impossible. This is a treasure about to advance to a Celestial Artifact!" Xiao Yuan rubbed his eyes, roaring in his heart, seemingly unable to believe that this man had absorbed the flames from the Red Flame Seal.

This guy was just unlucky. Two of his killer moves were easily broken by Yang Tian. Otherwise, with other divine abilities, he could have put up a fight.

With a faint smile, Yang Tian looked at Xiao Yuan. His body traversed through the void, appearing directly before him, striking with terrifying fist force.

This punch used eighty percent of Yang Tian's strength. The void shattered, striking Xiao Yuan's head with ferocious speed.

"Get lost!" Xiao Yuan roared, his eyes splitting. From his crown, a light net flew out, adorned with divine splendor, charging toward Yang Tian's fist.

As before, this Dao artifact was blasted apart by Yang Tian's immense force. The onlookers' hearts bled; this was a prodigal son, destroying two high-quality treasures in a row.

After blasting the artifact, Yang Tian changed the direction of his palm, striking Xiao Yuan's chest again, sending him flying once more.

Xiao Yuan's fighting spirit was completely gone. He was like a treasure-giver, spitting out one artifact after another, but Yang Tian destroyed them all.

"Damn it!" The middle-aged man's face turned cold to the extreme, but he couldn't intervene. If he stepped in now, he would lose face.

Moreover, Yang Tian's strength and terrifying cultivation made him cautious. Such a genius must be backed by a formidable force.

"So violent..." Ning Xiu's eyes sparkled. The previously dominant figure was now beaten like a toad.

"He seems to be looking for something?" Ning Xue frowned. Yang Tian was usually low-key; this was completely unlike him.

"Sister, he's avenging you..." Ning Xiu raised her jade hand and snorted, "That old toad wanted to marry you, so Yang Tian is retaliating. Look at his miserable state."

"Avenging me? Is that really it?" Ning Xue was a bit skeptical, but a glimmer of hope appeared.

After blasting five Dao artifacts in a row, Yang Tian's eyes fell on the youth lying like a dead dog. His gaze was hesitant.

He had been forcing Xiao Yuan to use Carefree Step, but he never did. This made Yang Tian suspect it might not be a technique from their valley.

"Alas, you can't force it. Such a divine ability is not easily obtained." Rubbing his nose, Yang Tian glanced at Xiao Yuan's body and walked off the stage.

The crowd buzzed with discussion. They hadn't expected the Bai family to win so easily. They looked at Yang Tian with some awe; he must be an extraordinary genius.

"I want you dead!" At this moment, Xiao Yuan's tightly shut eyes opened, a mad venom surging in his gaze. His hand suddenly threw a jade slip, shooting straight at Yang Tian's head.

"Watch out!" Many noticed and immediately shouted a warning.

Yang Tian's hairs stood on end. The fluctuation erupting from the jade slip was terrifying.

The void darkened. A rumbling tremor filled heaven and earth, and a dreadful aura spread, as if a deity was roaring.

Ning Xue's delicate body instantly tensed. From the force of this attack, the technique sealed in the jade slip was likely one sealed by an Emperor-level figure.
