Chapter 1895: I Have a Younger Brother

Fan Xiaoxu was extremely excited.

He had thought that this Zhang Xuan was merely a Great Sage, or at most an Ancient Sage, and not too powerful—otherwise he wouldn't have needed his help to enter this place. Only upon seeing him in person did he realize how terrifying he was!

Every move he made seemed unbound by heaven and earth, as if he had completely transcended the rules and stood above the Three Realms.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the two fought, cracks appeared everywhere. The Great Confucian Hall could not withstand the pressure and was on the verge of being forcibly knocked out of the void.

He... he is Zhang Xuan? You competed with him before?

Swallowing his saliva, Zhong Qing looked at Nangong Yuanfeng.

He had impersonated a member of the Luo family back then, using the name Luo Tianya, but it was later confirmed to be him... Nangong Yuanfeng nodded, also trembling with fear.

Had it only been a few months since they last met?

When had he become so powerful?

If he had been this strong during their competition, he wouldn't have needed to fight—he could have crushed him with a single finger... Even the ancestors of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers, the Ancient Sage Yan Qing, might not possess such strength!

Rip!

As they were still in shock, the two combatants had already torn through the space of the Great Confucian Hall and vanished from the spot.

The next moment, they appeared before the mountain peak.

Here, the many examinees who had barely passed the selection were struggling to break the seal. Hearing the commotion, they looked up in unison and witnessed a scene they would never forget.

The two experts were both wreathed in lightning as they fought. With every blow, the sky shook as if the world were ending. The young man in the lead wielded a spear with graceful movements, while the strong man behind him, his face covered in blood, was nearly exploding with rage.

Are they... Ancient Sages?

Only Ancient Sages could possess such combat power!

Why are the Ancient Sages fighting, and it looks like a fight to the death?

That, I don't know...

A commotion arose below.

Everyone involuntarily clenched their fists, filled with envy.

A cultivator should be like this!

From the moment one draws the first wisp of spiritual energy into the body and begins to transform true qi, who doesn't want to grow stronger?

The two sides fighting before them were exactly what they dreamed of.

They represented the pinnacle of the current era.

Stop harming my master!

At that moment, two shouts rang out, and two figures even younger than them charged forward.

The thunder in the sky grew even more intense.

The blood-faced man, facing the siege of three, showed no sign of weakness. After a few moves, the young man and woman who had just charged in fell from the air simultaneously.

You are no match for him. Don't come over. Leave this man to your master...

The young man holding the spear smiled lightly and drew his palm across.

He leaped into a spatial rift and disappeared.

Where do you think you're going...

The man behind him hastily gave chase.

If not for the countless cracks left in the sky, it would be hard to believe it was real.

...

You say they might be experts?

The village chief of Shiyan Village looked at Xiuru, the village beauty, and shook his head. How could that be? If they were experts, would they be so polite and compensate us for the damage to our wheat field?

This village beauty seemed to have gone mad. As soon as she arrived, she said that the few people they had seen earlier might be Saint Domain experts.

No one in the village believed her.

Since when were Saint Domain experts so polite, compensating for damaged wheat? Since when did Saint Domain experts ride on the backs of spirit beasts to Fan City?

People of that level were all imposing, arrogant, and incomparable, with their eyes on top of their heads. Speaking so kindly to ordinary folks like them... if you said they were Saint Domain experts, they really wouldn't believe it!

It's true! I saw them flying without any aid, and at great speed...

Xiuru's face was anxious.

Why wouldn't anyone believe her?

The scene of those people disappearing in an instant kept replaying in her mind. Even she found it hard to believe.

If she had known they were Saint Domain experts, she wouldn't have put on airs but instead humbly asked them for cultivation techniques.

I know you have high standards, but Saint Domain exists only in the great families. People like us have no chance to see them... The village chief shook his head, about to comfort her further and tell her not to indulge in fantasies, when thunder rumbled in the sky.

Everyone looked up in unison and saw two figures, wreathed in lightning, appear in the air above.

The two sides were fighting, and every move tore the sky, revealing pitch-black traces.

Isn't that young man...

Everyone was stunned.

They all recognized him. The one fighting in the air with a spear was the very person they had received earlier!

Just now, the village beauty said they might be experts, Saint Domain experts, and they didn't believe it. Now it seemed... this was far beyond Saint Domain—even a Great Sage couldn't do this!

They are Ancient Sage experts! The village chief's throat went dry.

Although they were just ordinary villagers without the qualification to cultivate, they still knew a bit about the hierarchy of experts.

A Great Sage didn't have such overwhelming power. The two fighting in the air were definitely Ancient Sages, and moreover, the most powerful Ancient Sages!

I once sat on the back of a spirit beast with an Ancient Sage, and instead of seeking guidance, I... looked down on him?

Her eyes reddened, and the village beauty burst into tears.

She had been eager to learn higher-level techniques and better secrets, yet a treasure mountain was right in front of her, and she couldn't recognize it... She even thought he might be trying to win her over...

With her looks, she was considered decent in the village, but which Ancient Sage would fancy her...

In an instant, she was filled with regret.

...

On the same day, almost everyone in the Hundred Schools of Philosophers saw the two sides fighting in the sky, and both powerful figures were etched into their minds like brands.

Even tens of thousands of years later, immortal legends remained.

Why can't I find a place with no one around...

The entire Kunxu Realm was shaken, but Zhang Xuan looked somewhat troubled.

He had been fleeing all the way, not deliberately showing off, but trying to find a deserted place where he could unleash all his ultimate techniques at once. However, the world of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers was too crowded—there was almost no such place!

Many of his methods could not be seen by outsiders.

So he had to fight while retreating.

After who knows how long, a stretch of empty mountain range appeared before him.

Finally found it... Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.

Hard work paid off; he had found an empty place. He twisted his body, threw down one array flag after another, sealing off the surrounding space so that no aura could leak out.

Not running anymore? Then die...

Seeing that this fellow was no longer fleeing but setting up arrays, the "Deity" was momentarily stunned, then his face twisted with ferocity.

Having chased him all the way, he had already determined the other's strength. He was no match for him; as long as he didn't flee, he could easily kill him.

Die? Wait a moment. I also have a younger brother who wants to fight you...

With that, his body shook.

Whoosh!

An identical figure appeared before him.
