Chapter 2099 - Wu Shuang Dao Gate
Above the ripple stood an incomparably robust figure. He wore a fiery red robe and looked to be around thirty years old.
He held a giant golden hammer in his hand, and continued to smash against the formless barrier created by the formation, one strike after another. Although there was no sound coming from the barrier, its might was extremely terrifying, as if that giant hammer could smash a huge hole in the sky.
After a short moment, the shockwaves encompassed the surrounding space of the Nine Palace Peak, and as the gigantic hammer slammed into it, the formless barrier seemed as though it would collapse at any moment.
Tang Huan could not help but look at Liu Li in the blink of an eye, only to see her still smiling, calm and collected.
Not long after, the violent ripples passed through the invisible barrier created by the formation and reached the Nine Palace Mountain, causing it to tremble.
Whoosh.
Subtle piercing sounds came out, and three figures appeared at the top of the mountain at the same time. It was Mo Hanyun, Hua Tian Chi and Ling Tian, and immediately after, the nine spirits and Xiao Budian who were cultivating in palace were also alarmed, their figures flickered, and they arrived beside Tang Huan, raising their heads to look.
They already had a premonition that this day would come sooner or later. However, now that they had personally witnessed the commotion in the sky, they couldn't help but feel astonished.
"Rumble …"
A short while later, an earth-shattering sound suddenly echoed out.
The formless barrier that enveloped Nine Palace Mountain was like snow under the blazing sun, instantly disappearing without a trace. The terrifying Strength Qi was like a waterfall, pouring down from the location of the red-clothed man.
"Liu-Li, your array doesn't seem to be that great."
High up in the sky, the red-clothed man couldn't help but laugh out loud. His voice was actually like thunder, deafening everyone around him.
The sledgehammer in his hand suddenly smashed downwards, causing the falling Strength Qi to become even more berserk. Like an ancient beast that had escaped its cage, it seemed to be able to tear any obstacle in front of it into pieces.
Glazed brows slightly raised, and his sleeves swept towards the sky.
"Hu!"
An enormous whistling sound came out in a zigzag, and a dense aura of alternating white and green spiralled upwards. It instantly turned into a massive whirlpool that collided with the terrifying Strength Qi that was roaring down from the sky.
There were no ear-piercing sounds that could pierce through gold and shatter stone, nor were there any earth-shattering collisions …
In the instant the two came into contact, the incomparably violent Strength Qi was like a clay ox entering the sea, it was instantly swallowed up by the white-green colored vortex. With a flick of Liu Li's finger, the vortex rapidly shrunk into a small ball. It shot towards the red-clothed man like a meteor.
"Hmm?"
The red-clothed strong man's pupils shrank as he once again struck out with his huge hammer. On the hammer, there was a huge gap of light.
In just a split-second, the huge golden hammer collided with the extremely condensed whirlpool, creating a thunderous noise. With the collision as the center, the terrifying shockwave roared out in all directions. In an instant, the red-clothed man looked as if he had suffered a heavy blow as he explosively retreated.
"Consecutive? Your strength doesn't seem to be much!"
Liu Li curled her lips in disdain.
Following that, she smiled, looked at Tang Huan, and introduced him: "Little brother Tang Huan, this fellow is called Lian Jin, an Empyrean from the 'Unparalleled Dao Sect'. He is ranked thirty-six on the Honorable Ranking, and is far from me, who knows where he got his confidence from, and came to my side."
"Liu Li, do you think I came here alone?"
High up in the sky, they had instantly retreated dozens of miles before finally stabilizing their bodies. After coldly laughing, they once again shot forward explosively. However, their expressions had already become quite ugly.
Although it was only a probing confrontation, from the results just now, it could be seen that the gap between Liu Li's strength and his strength was not small. They were both Empyreans. Moreover, he had entered the Empyrean Realm far before Liu Li. However, Liu Li's casual attack had forced him back.
"You probably wouldn't dare to come here alone!" Liu Li laughed mockingly and immediately shouted out in a clear voice, "Everyone, since we are already at this place, why don't you show yourselves?"
"Sky Sovereign is right."
Almost at the same instant Liu Li finished speaking, a loud laughter resounded in the world.
It was a green-robed old man with an ugly face, short and thin like a dwarf. However, although his body was small, his voice was shockingly loud and clear, "Since he's already here, why did he need to hide so much and make others laugh?"
"This old man is Hua Yingyan. Greetings, Empyrean Liu-Li."
The short elder cupped his hands towards Liu Li who was at the peak of the nine palaces and her body shot forward like a bolt of lightning. While he was speaking, he was already less than a kilometer away from Liu Li, Tang Huan and the others.
Liu Li smiled as she cupped her hands in greeting, "So it's the Engraved Sky Sovereign. With your appearance, you actually dare to run out and embarrass yourself. Aren't you afraid of provoking ridicule from others?"
The condor's smile immediately froze on its ugly face, and a dense aura of hostility practically condensed into substance, gushing out from the depths of its eyes. It angrily said: "Liu-Li, this old man treats you with respect, yet you, this old man, says such evil words, do you really think this old man is squashing mud?"
"Treat him with courtesy?"
Liu Li scoffed, "You are putting on an act like that, aren't you tired? Even I feel tired for you? I know perfectly well the purpose of your visit to this place and the rest of the fellows around you. Don't waste your breath, just tell me what you plan to do next. "
The lacquer sculpture, Yan Wei, had a green and red complexion.
According to common sense, even if they were destined to fall out, the two of them could still maintain their calm on the surface before falling out. However, this Liu Li completely disregarded common sense and started mocking and ridiculing them upon meeting them, practically forcing them to immediately fall out.
Secretly exchanging glances with Lian Jin, Yan Chen said solemnly: "Liu Li, since you said it like this, then this old man will not beat around the bush with you."
"The old me and the others are here for the Tang Huan beside you."
The lacquer sculpture's two eyes fell on Tang Huan, and said slowly, "For such a gifted Weapon Refiner, to stay on Nine Palace Mountain, would be a complete waste of heaven's resources. Hand him over to me and let me bring him back to the Unparalleled Dao Sect. Our Unparalleled Dao Sect will definitely not mistreat him, you can rest assured. "
"That's right." High up in the sky, Lian Jin's face was gloomy as he shouted loudly, "Liu Li, we must obtain it today. You had better be tactful."
