Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 87: Three Colored? Four Colored?

“You’re finally here!” Liu Qinglan looked into the distance and revealed an envious gaze.

Blood leaked out from the corner of her lips after she forced Ran Biluo back. The latter wasn’t in a rush to continue fighting as she retreated over to Lang Xiaoyun’s side.

Liu Qinglan had been running on empty for a long time. Even with the help of the protection formation, she was no match for Ran Biluo. All she was doing was holding out desperately.

Seeing as the situation had stabilized with the arrival of Shang Bo, she started to calm down her rampaging inner qi. Of course, she didn’t let her guard down at all.

Ran Biluo did the same. However, even if she got over her fear of the defeat she received from Shang Bo, his appearance was too damn shocking! He one shotted a Martial Extermination Realm cultivator as soon as he arrived!

No matter how much they looked down on Yan Que for being a mixed blood, a Martial Extermination Realm cultivator was a Martial Extermination Realm cultivator! His strength had reached a certain standard! Even so, Shang Bo killed him without the slightest bit of resistance!

That was a terrifying feat!

The Four Spiritual Peak might seem to possess the advantage, but even Lang Xiaoyun, who possessed a high-grade weapon, knew that he couldn’t kill Yan Que like that! Even in the same situation, he would be able to heavily injure Yan Que at best!

“This kid… He became even stronger!” Shang Lubing took the chance to catch his breath after Lang Jingyun retreated.

The pressure he felt was comparable to what Liu Qinglan felt. Lang Jingyun was stronger than Ran Biluo, and he focused on offensive skills! Shang Lubing could only force himself to hang on with the extra knowledge and experience he had as a cultivator who had been in the Martial Extermination Realm for longer.

“Chief Kou is really impressive. I wonder if this kid can cut off his connection to his clan in the future… After all, they’re already part of the four great clans in Tongyou City.”

Shang Lubing’s eyes flashed and he tossed the thought to the back of his mind. He retreated slowly, keeping Liu Qinglan and the three peaks behind him.

“Third layer of the Martial Extermination Realm!” Ji Wenlong glanced at the three colored lights surrounding Shang Bo and his expression turned serious. “Ten years ago, Kou Chongxue heavily supported him and helped him to step into the Martial Extermination Realm. That was how the fourth great clan was born.”

“Five years ago, he entered the battlefield between two worlds and defeated Ran Biluo with a long lance in hand. He obtained his second extermination origin and entered the second layer of the Martial Extermination Realm. After that, Ran Biluo requested Yu Zhiqing’s support and fought him at the foot of the Tongyou Peak. Even though Shang Bo fell to a disadvantage and suffered some slight injuries, he managed to scar Ran Biluo’s face with his extermination origin. She had been disfigured since, using heavy makeup to cover up the scars.”

“Now that five years had passed, he?managed to form a third extermination origin. He killed Yan Que in the blink of an eye… Looks like he has already surpassed Liu Jitang…” Ji Wenlong concluded.

Yan Que’s body fell slowly to the ground. In the place he once stood, a long lance hovered in the air, emitting a soft glow. From afar, it looked exactly like a firefly dancing in the air.

An elder who looked pretty similar to Shang Xia appeared in his place.

He was the fourth Deputy Patriarch of the Tongyou Institution, and he was the head of the Training Division! He was the patriarch of the Shang Clan, Shang Bo!”

“Hah… I finally arrived.” Shang Bo had clearly just arrived and he was different from those who had been hiding on the Tongyou Peak the whole time. Shang Bo swept his gaze across the battlefield, taking everything in.

All of a sudden, Ji Wenlong’s cry rang in his mind. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and counter attack! The members of the Rose Party are still hiding at the side waiting for a chance to strike!”

“Chief Ji, calm down. Let me catch my breath.” Shang Bo waved his hand to retrieve the Nine Firefly Lance. The humming disappeared instantly.

“Elder Dong is dead and our Tongyou Peak is on the brink of destruction. Do you think I can remain calm and wait for you to catch your breath?!” Ji Wenlong growled.

Since the start, Ji Wenlong had always been the pillar of strength for the Tongyou Peak. He held off two Martial Extermination Realm cultivators of the Four Spiritual Peak alone, and one of them was the strongest expert on the other side!

“Alright! Today, all of them will leave their pitiful lives behind!” Shang Bo’s rage was ignited when he saw Shang Xia’s sorry appearance down below.

“Hand your life over!” Shang Bo’s lance stabbed forward, leaping through a huge distance in space as it stabbed straight towards Ran Biluo.

“Ah!” Crying out in shock, Ran Biluo escaped without fighting.

The fear she had for Shang Bo had exceeded common sense.

However, Xiao Jingyun, who was standing beside her, revealed an excited expression. “Are you the Soul Tearing Spear, Shang Bo? I am Lang Jingyun of the Four Spiritual Peak. Let’s exchange pointers!”

As soon as he spoke, he appeared to stop the Nine Firefly Lance.

He soon realized his mistake. A glow covered the tip of the lance and Shang Bo’s three colored extermination origin surrounded it. Lang Jingyun was unable to determine where the lance was headed!

Lang Xiaoyun’s reminder appeared in his mind while he was panicking. “... Shang Bo isn’t scary because of his cultivation. Everyone is wary of his spear art! No one in the same cultivation realm as him can take him on in terms of technique. Ran Biluo’s fear of him is the greatest example…”

Even though the excitement for battle bubbled in him, Lang Jingyun turned extraordinarily calm.

Releasing a huge roar, he sent his whip flying downwards.

“Bang!” The sound of metal against metal rang through the air as the light around the tip of Shang Bo’s lance dimmed slightly.

A blinding light filled the skies and it swallowed everything in its path.

Lang Jingyun’s body shook violently and he was thrown back several dozen feet. His four-segmented whip was sent flying through the air.

Even though Lang Jingyun looked like a battle maniac, he wasn’t a fool.

From the blow he exchanged with Shang Bo, he knew that he wasn’t a match for the man. He wanted to retreat slightly to join hands with Ran Biluo to deal with the madman.

His face which was flushed red turned black when he saw what happened next.

“I’ll stop the two of them! You can fight him!” Ran Biluo said before rushing over to Shang Lubing and Liu Qinglan.

Rage filled Lang Jingyun’s heart. Even though he knew that she was running away, he couldn’t do a thing about it! After all, she was volunteering to hold off two of the enemy’s Martial Extermination Realm cultivators.

Shang Bo wasn’t going to wait for him to find assistance. After that lance, his extermination origin started to gather around his spear again as a massive lance formed in the air.

Lang Jingyun wasn’t stupid enough to take it head-on. After all, he experienced Shang Bo’s strength earlier.

“Crap… This guy is only using a lance… If he were to get his hands on a spear…” Lang Jingyun’s thoughts didn’t hamper his escape. He turned tail and ran instantly. The further he got, the better.

Shang Bo’s divine sense locked onto Lang Jingyun silently.

No matter how far he ran, he was going to have to take the strike!

That was also why Shang Bo was known as the Tyrannical Spear King. It wasn’t because of the way he used his spear technique. Instead, it was because he was going to hit you with it whether you liked it or not!

Lang Jingyun, realizing that he wasn’t going to avoid it no matter how far he ran, started to circulate his inner qi in an attempt to meet the strike.

No one expected an accident to happen at the last second!

When Shang Bo mustered his power to attack Lang Jingyun, a sneaky palm came from behind. What better time to hit Shang Bo than when he was charging up his attack?

With Shang Bo’s attitude to never hold back, he couldn’t stop his attack now.

It seemed as though the person who unleashed the sneak attack had a great understanding of the Shang Clan!

“Haha! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time now!” Shang Bo roared with laughter before separating himself from the giant lance that was charging up in mid air.

A shocked expression appeared on both Lang Jingyun’s face and the attacker from the Rose Party as Shang Bo not only avoided the attack, but he also managed to pull the Nine Firefly Lance away!

Even so, the giant lance that was formed from heaven and earth qi and Shang Bo’s extermination origin continued to shoot out towards Lang Jingyun.

“Yuwen Shengjie, got to hell!” The three colored extermination origin that surrounded the Nine Firefly Lance increased to a four colored extermination origin but the fourth color fluctuated unsteadily around it.

The palm that was created from heaven and earth qi was torn to shreds with Shang Bo’s aura alone.

At the same time, the lance stabbed into the void behind him.

“You little rat… Come out here!” Along with Shang Bo’s yell, the void was torn open.

A pale middle aged man with a face full of fear was pulled out of the void as blood poured from his lips.

“Four colored extermination origin!”

Yuwen Shengjie cried out in disbelief. In the next moment, he turned into a streak of crimson light as he tried to make his escape.

On the other side, The giant lance that stabbed towards Lang Jingyun mercilessly. It was too bad the power contained in it wasn’t enough to kill a second layer Martial Extermination Realm expert.

Even though the title of the Tyrannical Spear King implied that he could only focus on the target he locked on, Shang Bo did the impossible and used it as a diversion to attack someone else!
