"Phoenix Rising Sun!"
The instant these three words left his mouth, Xiang Yun's palm descended from the sky!
"Chirp!"
The fire phoenix cried out with its head held high, its wings stretched out like a cloud in the sky, and its entire body was covered in purple flames. Carrying the surging purple flames and the boundless might, it charged down from the sky towards Xue Ba!
At this moment, Xue Ba's heart violently shook. He felt a sense of fear that he hadn't felt in a long time. He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but at this moment, he clearly felt that he was already locked on by the fire phoenix.
Xue Ba could not help but feel infuriated. How could a Mystic Cloud Realm expert like him, a warrior whose hands were stained with blood, be scared off by a little kid of the Yellow Cloud Realm with a single move?
"Humph!"
The pride of a warrior made Xue Ba charge forward once again. He immediately gathered all the cloud energy in his body into his palm, emitting a bright glow.
Enveloped by the powerful cloud energy, Xue Ba's confidence was boosted. He soared into the sky like a roc, directly slapping his palm towards the purple fire phoenix that looked down at the world from above!
In the end, Xue Ba's palm and the fire phoenix collided!
"Rumble!"
Everyone covered their ears as they looked up to the sky, only to see a dazzling purple light suddenly erupting from the sky. Countless rays of dazzling light shot out from all directions, instantly turning the entire sky into a demonic purple color!
The next moment, everyone heard a high-pitched scream. They could vaguely see a fire phoenix holding a shadow in its mouth, pulling out a purple ta.s.sel, and then suddenly fell from the sky and crashed to the ground!
"Bam!"
The ground shook violently. The crowd was actually unable to stand steadily, and they fell backwards, exclaiming in shock!
And right in front of him, in the empty area at the east gate of the camp, a huge pit with a diameter of nearly thirty meters and a depth of about twenty feet appeared. The one who was blasted into the deep pit was none other than the Great Commander of the Floating Armor Cavalry, Xue Ba!
"Phew!" Xiang Yun panted heavily. He could no longer be bothered with the chaotic Qi within his body as he stared fixedly at the deep pit in front of him!
When Xue Jie saw that his Eldest Uncle had been blasted into the deep pit by Xiang Yun's palm, his entire body was icy cold. The surrounding soldiers were all shocked speechless!
Could it be that the grand commander of the Western Lion Cavalry was actually defeated by a new recruit? Just when everyone was shocked speechless.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
At this moment, Xue Ba's clothes were no longer fluttering in the wind, he was no longer the overbearing person who was pointing at everything. His clothes were tattered, his hair was disheveled, his body was covered in mud, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth!
"You!"
At this moment, Xue Ba felt as if a volcano was about to erupt within his heart. Ever since he became the commander of the Rider Battalion, he had experienced countless dangers, but he had never been in such a sorry state before.
"This child must not be allowed to live!" Xue Ba looked at Xiang Yun with killing intent as he took a deep breath!
This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. If it wasn't you, then I'll die. So what if it was a Profound Cloud Realm expert? If you want my life, then I'll let you live!
Gripping the spear, Xue Ba's blood-red eyes widened. He took a step forward, raised the spear high and threw it forward!
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Even Xiang Yun felt an immense pressure. Now that he no longer had the ability to use the Great Solar G.o.d Palm, he could only use the Great Sword.
The man stretched out his hand and grabbed the long spear that was coming at him. The long spear trembled violently under the combined effect of the impact and strong resistance. It was not able to bear the pressure and turned into dust and dissipated in the wind!
"Stop!"
A cold voice reverberated in the sky above the army camp. This person was tall and skinny with a cold stare and long eyebrows. He was dressed in dark gold armor and had a cloak covering his back.
"Di Guang!"
When the soldiers saw that it was the commander of the new army, they quickly bent down and kowtowed again!
Xiang Yun, on the other hand, looked at Di Guang's back, a little stunned. He clearly remembered that Di Guang was probably heading out of the pa.s.s today and not in the camp. Why would he suddenly arrive at this time?
Xiang Yun instantly understood. No wonder Hongfei had not appeared outside the battlefield this entire time. So he had gone to ask Di Guang to come back and take charge of the overall situation. Xiang Yun's heart couldn't help but feel warm, rather grateful.
Commander Xue, long time no see. Since you've come to my new army camp as a guest, why don't you inform me so that I can be your host. Why fight with a new recruit here? Di Guang said faintly.
"Humph, Di Guang, your discipline is not strict, and a spy stole the secret map, and dares to disobey the military order and refuse to be arrested. Look at these Battalion Commanders, all of them were severely injured by this kid, and he's such a nuisance, how can we not kill him? I'm helping you with the military law!"
Di Guang didn't argue when he heard this, but said: "Since that's the case, then I'll thank Commander Xue first. Now that I'm back, let me handle the matter of the new camp."
When Xue Ba heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold!
"I just want to thoroughly investigate this matter. The right and wrong of this matter will be decided by right!" Di Guang was not moved at all!
Xue Ba's breathing became heavier as he stared at Di Guang with a sharp gaze. He sent a voice transmission, "Di Guang, I must kill this kid today. You won't let me!"
Di Guang smiled and also sent a sound transmission, "As long as I am here, you won't be able to kill him today."
"You want to go against me?" Xue Ba narrowed his eyes.
Di Guang sneered, "If the Lord Commander insists on not realizing his mistake, then don't blame me for offending him!"
Hearing this, Xue Ba's heart …
He was stunned. Di Guang had been very polite to him in the past, yet he dared to be so tough with him today! It was a bit strange.
For a moment, Xue Ba's thoughts quickly turned. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at the determined face of Di Guang. Although Xue Ba was furious, after thinking for a long time, he finally restrained the cold expression on his face and said indifferently.
"Since Captain Di is presiding over the justice, I believe that this matter can be handled fairly. I will not add anymore, so I will take my leave!"
Xue Jie fearfully avoided Kai Xiangyun's cold gaze, and together with Zhou Donghai and Jiang Shan, hurried over to Xue Ba's side.
"Greetings to Commander Xue!" Di Guang cupped his hands in a greeting, neither servile nor overbearing!
"Humph! See you later!" Xue Ba coldly glanced at Xiang Yun who was behind Di Guang!
Along the way, Xue Jie looked at his uncle's gloomy face. He didn't dare to say anything, but he was at a loss for words. He still asked, "Uncle, what should we do next? Will Di Guang execute Wei Xiaobao?"
When he exchanged blows with Xiang Yun today, the latter's terrifying strength and his monstrous talent caused Xue Ba to feel uneasy. At the same time, he began to speculate about Xiang Yun's ident.i.ty. How could he have such talent, and how could the ident.i.ty of the person Di Guang would protect with all his might be so simple?
Xue Ba searched through all the geniuses of the younger generation in his mind, but he couldn't find anyone who matched up with Wei Xiaobao.
How would he know that this devilish youth was the son of the famous trash of the Wind Cloud Nation, the younger brother of his boss, who had been completely ruled out by him to a place tens of thousands of miles away.
"Uncle, how do we deal with this kid from now on?" Xue Jie asked with some unwillingness.
"This child's ident.i.ty is unknown, and we've missed this opportunity. From now on, it's best not to lay our hands on him in case any unnecessary troubles arise!"
"Are we just going to let this kid off like this?"
It was impossible for them to let go of each other. Perhaps Xiang Yun might not be able to do anything to him, Xue Ba, but with this kid's terrifying talent, after three to five years, after ten to eight years, it would be hard to guarantee that his strength would not surpa.s.s his own. At that time, wouldn't he be destroyed.
Therefore, even if he was afraid of Xiang Yun's ident.i.ty, Xue Ba would still think of ways and means to make it so that Xiang Yun would not be able to survive. Of course, it would be best if he could put aside his relations.h.i.+p with him!
Hearing this, Xue Jie's eyes lit up. That's right, his uncle was the commander of the Rising Cloud Cavalry Battalion. Wanting to toy with this kid to kill him was an extremely simple matter. He could only hope that he would not run away recklessly …
At the same time, within the Cold Mountain Pa.s.s, in the Disciplinary Hall of the five new barracks, Di Guanggao sat at the head of the table. Below him were Dai Hu, his a.s.sistant Xun Wu, Xiang Yun, Dong Lin, and a few others.
