Kong Youyue walked out of the Mage Tower with a heart full of doubts. Outside the Mage Tower, there was already a large crowd.
"Title-level experts are in battle!"
"Two title-level experts!"
The young mages were all very excited.
Kong Youyue also looked into the distance. Under the moonlight, far away, there were huge waves of blood-colored energy and a distorted, colorless energy shield continuously colliding! The distant scene was somewhat distorted, and the range of the collision of the forces of heaven and earth was about two to three hundred meters, with a rumbling sound like thunder. This power made Kong Youyue's heart tremble. As a mage, she had extensive knowledge.
She immediately recognized that this was the use of the forces of heaven and earth by title-level experts!
"Title-level?" Kong Youyue stared at the two figures in battle, hardly daring to believe it. "They are actually two title-level experts. Such beings stand at the highest level in the entire Qinghe County. Why are they fighting on Snowstone Mountain? Could it be just passing by?"
Although the two terrifying experts moved very quickly, they would suddenly stop during the battle, or even be pushed back, so Kong Youyue quickly saw their general appearance.
Xiang Pangyun, she didn't recognize!
But the other one was a young man in black, holding a silver-gray spear, with snowflakes floating around him.
She was very familiar with this person!
"Dongbo Xueying!" Kong Youyue's eyes widened. "He, he, he is a title-level expert? This, this is impossible, he is only twenty-two years old!"
When she was young, her father, Kong Hai, a shrewd businessman, required her to try every means to marry Dongbo Xueying! In fact, Kong Youyue had always felt aggrieved deep down because her father never took her seriously, thinking that girls would eventually marry out! He even refused to hire a good mage as a teacher. It was only because of the desire to get closer to Dongbo Xueying that she, Kong Youyue, was sent to study under Mage Bai Yuanzhi.
After becoming a mage, Kong Youyue worked very hard, and her horizons gradually broadened.
She learned more and realized how vast the world was!
What was Dongbo Xueying, who dominated a small city like Yishui City, in the entire world? However, before a good opportunity came, she always remained patient, as Dongbo Xueying was still a decent backup.
Finally,
the prodigy of the Si family, Si Chen, came. The Si family was a family that could overshadow the sky in Qinghe County and had a significant status in the entire Anyang Province! If she could enter such a family, she might have the chance to reach a higher position in the future...
In her view, Dongbo Xueying was not worth mentioning in front of the Si family!
Si Chen was a step for her to reach higher. When Dongbo Xueying discovered her true nature, she didn't care at all.
Just a mad martial artist from a small place, what's the big deal.
"This, this..."
Kong Youyue looked at the two figures battling like gods and demons in the distance. Some rocks on the distant mountains collapsed, and some rolled down the mountain. One of those figures was someone she used to know very well.
"Quick, all of you, hide quickly!" Mage Bai Yuanzhi's beard trembled as he roared, "Quick, the one with the knife is Xiang Pangyun! It's Xiang Pangyun! Are you standing there foolishly, looking for death? If the battle affects you, you'll be dead instantly."
"Xiang Pangyun?"
"Is it the first expert of Qinghe County, Xiang Pangyun?"
"Xiang Pangyun, who is even more powerful than the patriarch of the Si family?" The mage disciples all exclaimed. Their teacher had long evaluated some powerful figures in Qinghe County, with a focus on Xiang Pangyun and Si Lianghong. These two were the two pillars of the entire Qinghe County! Either one could easily kill a regular title-level expert, with unimaginable power.
"Quick, get inside!" Bai Yuanzhi roared.
The other disciples all headed toward the Mage Tower.
...
Bai Yuanzhi waved his hand, and with a rumble, a huge black sculpture beside the Mage Tower suddenly came to life. It was a mechanical creature resembling a centipede, with a black, flat, winding body and some flexible membranes along its edges.
"Brother Si Chen, it's very dangerous now. The Mage Tower is not absolutely safe. Let's sit on this 'Black Moon Centipede' and fly up into the sky! In the sky, we won't have to worry about being affected." Bai Yuanzhi said.
"Thank you, Brother Bai." Si Chen, who was quite handsome, said, "If possible, take Youyue along as well."
"Sure."
Mage Bai Yuanzhi glanced at Kong Youyue and another person, Ji Rong, and instructed, "Youyue, Ji Rong, you two come over. We'll go to Snowstone Castle later and take Qing Shi along as well!"
Mage Bai Yuanzhi had his own considerations.
Seeing Xiang Pangyun and Dongbo Xueying battling in a shocking scene, he was also stunned. Oh my God, Dongbo Xueying could actually face off against the notorious Xiang Pangyun? Although he thought Dongbo Xueying's chances of winning were low, he might still win or at least survive?
Such a powerful expert must be befriended!
In his view, Kong Youyue was very close to Dongbo Xueying! Ji Rong and Qing Shi were even more intimate! It was better to take these two women along.
"Yes, teacher." Kong Youyue and Ji Rong obediently responded.
Another direct disciple under Bai Yuanzhi had already completed his training and gone out to explore.
"Whoosh!"
Under Bai Yuanzhi's control, the Black Moon Centipede instantly wriggled and soared into the sky, with Bai Yuanzhi, Si Chen, Kong Youyue, and Ji Rong sitting on it. The Black Moon Centipede flew to a height of several hundred meters and headed toward Snowstone Castle.
"Xiang Pangyun actually appeared here!" Si Chen looked down at the battle between the two experts and was still shocked. "That Dongbo Xueying can actually fight on par with him! How is that possible? Xiang Pangyun is on par with my family's patriarch. According to my knowledge, Xiang Pangyun, as an assassin, has killed some title-level experts, usually with one strike. How could the battle last so long!"
"Brother Si Chen, you still lack experience." Bai Yuanzhi commented, "Look at the commotion of their battle, the scene of the surrounding rocks cracking? According to my calculations, the power of the air currents generated by their clashes far exceeds that of ordinary title-level experts."
"Sure." Si Chen nodded slightly.
"Xiang Pangyun has been able to dominate Qinghe County for so long, he must have some powerful means." Bai Yuanzhi said, "This battle is still dangerous for Dongbo Xueying! Of course, to be able to fight Xiang Pangyun to this extent, he is already very impressive. He is only twenty-two years old, truly unbelievable, unimaginable! If given another five to six years, his strength might surpass Xiang Pangyun and Si Lianghong, becoming the first expert of our Qinghe County!"
Si Chen was unwilling to believe, but the facts were right in front of him.
"Very impressive." Si Chen praised, "Truly impressive, to be so powerful at twenty-two. Such a person is extremely rare in our entire Longshan Empire, and there might be a chance to reach the Extraordinary realm."
The two of them were amazed.
Kong Youyue and Ji Rong, on the side, were stunned.
Ji Rong's face turned pale.
She knew that her thoughts were all wrong! The wealth of Snowstone Castle was all superficial; the most terrifying and powerful was Dongbo Xueying himself!
Kong Youyue was also stunned.
"Is the one fighting Dongbo Xueying actually Xiang Pangyun?" Kong Youyue was a bit dazed.
Xiang Pangyun?
The first expert of Qinghe County?
Dongbo Xueying can now fight him to this extent? He is only twenty-two years old, and in the future, he might even reach the legendary Extraordinary realm!
Kong Youyue felt a void in her heart, anxious and powerless.
An opportunity to rise to the top was once in front of her, but she missed it!
Why couldn't she have been more patient? If she had been more patient, she could have seen this battle. Why did she decide to abandon it and even say those words to her brother? She now understood why Dongbo Xueying knew about her conversation. Title-level experts are in harmony with heaven and earth; how could she hide anything?
"Whoosh." Kong Youyue slowly exhaled, feeling a sense of loss.
If she had completely devoted herself to Dongbo Xueying, she might have reached a very high level, even the top tier of the entire Longshan Empire, a level she could not even imagine now.
She suddenly realized.
She might have already missed the most important opportunity in her life. It would be very difficult to encounter such an opportunity again in her lifetime.
"Bad, Xiang Pangyun is unleashing his full power!" Mage Bai Yuanzhi suddenly exclaimed.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The intensity of the battle below suddenly escalated.
Whether it was the Black Moon Centipede high in the sky or the people at Snowstone Castle, everyone's hearts were on edge. Everyone could see the intensity of the battle suddenly increase.
Dongbo Xueying was hit and flew backward, colliding with the rocks, causing the mountain to tremble and crack. Dongbo Xueying dodged in a panic.
Fierce knife light descended from the sky.
Boom.
Dongbo Xueying was shaken and staggered back continuously.
"Ha ha ha... Dongbo Xueying, Dongbo Xueying, I was just playing with you before. A toy like you, I might only encounter once or twice in my life. But now I'm not playing anymore; it's time to send you to your death!" Xiang Pangyun's laughter echoed through the sky. His strength and speed increased significantly, completely overwhelming Dongbo Xueying.
Dongbo Xueying tried to resist with his spear techniques but was beaten back in a very狼狈 manner. Boom, a huge cliff broke off and rolled down the mountain.
" Battling with an expert like you, I have benefited greatly. I wanted to continue the fight for a while longer, but it seems you don't want to play anymore." Dongbo Xueying, after a clumsy roll, leaped back onto a large rock. His eyes showed no panic, only wild excitement. "Then let's truly decide the outcome."
A faint blood-colored energy flow appeared on Dongbo Xueying's body, and his life force suddenly surged.
His bloodline power, unleashed!
"Watch this!"
A terrifying spear shadow, with the might to sweep across the heavens, swept over a hundred meters and struck with a thunderous impact. Xiang Pangyun, with a fierce expression, slashed back with his knife. With a boom, Xiang Pangyun was forced to take six steps back, each step causing the ground at the mountain top to tremble, and his body collided with a tree behind him, causing it to explode.
Xiang Pangyun was also somewhat disbelieving; he was actually at a disadvantage!
"What!" In the night sky, Mage Bai Yuanzhi and the others on the Black Moon Centipede were all incredulous.
"Great!" Qing Shi, Zong Ling, Tong San, and others watching nervously at Snowstone Castle were all excited.
