Chapter 464 - Intrusion

Chapter 464: Chapter 217: Intrusion"Brother Kuang, someone is causing trouble!" A Third Transition powerhouse staggered and rushed into Yi Kuang’s wine party.

At this grand event, the powerhouse’s left arm was severed at the root, spewing blood, drawing much attention.

Yi Kuang, who was conversing with others, heard the disturbance and approached with a furrowed brow, "What happened?"

"Brother Kuang! The warriors of the Silver Radiance Temple suddenly attacked our base, killed many of our brothers. You must avenge them!" The Third Transition underling’s voice was filled with a tragic tone, revealing unexpressed resentment.

"Silver Radiance Temple?" Yi Kuang’s expression darkened. As a powerful figure within the temple, he had chosen to establish his own force inside it, seizing control over two cities just outside the Seventh Barrier, commanding over two thousand fighters.

However, with great power came great challenges. Yi Kuang, who was not one for keeping the peace and had engaged in numerous aggressive affairs over the years, had attracted some troubles. This provocation by the Silver Radiance Temple was probably not unrelated.

Yi Kuang took a deep breath, looked around the venue of the wine party, "Ladies and gentlemen, my apologies. Today was supposed to be a grand celebration of my own hosting, but such heinous acts have marred the occasion. I cannot overlook my brothers’ vengeance. I will host another dinner another day to have you all again."

"Haha, what are you saying, Leader Yi? If you have urgent matters to attend to, please proceed without worrying about us."

"Yes, indeed. We have long heard about how much Master Yi values loyalty and righteousness; how could we possibly blame you?"

"The Silver Radiance Temple dares to carry out unrestrained killings in our Divine Path. Leader Yi should indeed give them a harsh lesson, to uphold the justice of our Path."

The guests around them echoed each other in flattering tones, but Yi Kuang knew well that none of them were simple.

"Thank you all for your understanding. I must leave now,,,,,,"

Before Yi Kuang could finish, sounds of fighting erupted outside, followed by a burst of hearty laughter that filled the air, "Hahaha, Yi Kuang, I’ve been waiting for you for so long, and here you are, hiding and indulging in wine."

Moments later, three burly men entered the venue, their powerful aura from the later phases of the Third Transition overwhelmingly pressed onto all the guests.

Yi Kuang, seeing the newcomers, sneered, "I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be a defeated foe."

"Defeated foe?" The burly man in the middle grimaced, "Had I not been severely injured by Long Tianxiang back then, would I have lost to you?"

"A loss is a loss. Stop making excuses for yourself."

Yi Kuang’s words ignited the man’s fury further, and he bellowed thrice in affirmation, "Good, good, good! I indeed lost before, but today I am here for revenge! Yi Kuang, prepare to die!"

Before the words even settled, the burly man struck out, completely disregarding the other guests.

Surviving within the temple was no small feat, and the identity of the burly man was evident to everyone. It was Nana, the seventh-ranked warrior from the Silver Radiance Temple, who had been defeated by Yi Kuang fifteen years earlier. That defeat had significantly boosted Yi Kuang’s reputation within the temple, allowing him to gather a group of loyal followers and establish the Blood Eagle Gang.

However, Nana had hinted at more underlying issues, though no one seemed to care now. Today, a fight between Yi Kuang and him was inevitable. As it had been said since ancient times, the winner reigns supreme.

Facing the punch from Nana, Yi Kuang retained his composure and countered with a punch of his own.

Under the immense surge of magic power, Nana’s fist thundered like thunderclap, causing Yi Kuang’s expression to turn drastic as he urgently summoned all his strength to resist.

Unfortunately, the gap between the two seemed rather significant. Nana’s fist, like a roaring tiger, overwhelmed Yi Kuang’s best efforts, leaving him gravely injured.

Struck by Nana’s heavy punch, Yi Kuang staggered back, his arm shattering inch by inch, as the power of thunder infiltrated his body, rampaging without restraint.

Yi Kuang amassed his strength to suppress the thunder, a trace of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.

Nana retracted his fist and coldly scoffed, "Trash!"

The spectacle shocked the guests; Yi Kuang was known as a formidable warrior within the Divine Path, yet Nana had critically wounded him in one move. Were the people from Silver Radiance Temple truly so formidable?

Yi Kuang struggled for a while to suppress the wildly dancing thunderous force within his body. His gaze towards Nana turned exceedingly cautious. Knowing his opponent came for revenge, he wouldn’t easily let him off, "What do you want?"

"Heh," Nana looked at Yi Kuang with cold eyes. "You’ve caused my reputation to suffer, had others look down on me. Today, I will wash my name clean with your blood!" Sёarch* The Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Yi Kuang’s expression drastically changed, "This is the Divine Path, if you act recklessly, you might not make it out."

"Threatening me?" Nana scoffed coldly, "Every one of you in the Divine Path is trash, who dares to stop me? I’ll kill anyone who tries; I might as well kill everyone if needed."

As he spoke, Nana provocatively glanced around at the other guests, "Thinking of helping him?"

Faced with Nana’s scanning, the powerful guests each stepped back and remained silent. While Nana’s words were boastful, his strength in defeating Yi Kuang left no room for contention.

"A bunch of balls-less trash!" Nana ridiculed loudly, and the gathered individuals could only simmer in anger without speaking out.

Seeing no one dared to challenge him, Nana boldly stepped up to Yi Kuang and sneered, "So, ready to die?"

"Fuck your mother!" Yi Kuang was not willing to succumb to death without a fight. Secretly gathering his strength, his blood force surged skyward, summoning a blood-red scythe from thin air, determined to split Nana in half.

Regrettably, a wall of earth intercepted the blade’s edge.

"Hehe, a balls-less piece of trash, only knows how to resort to sneaky tricks and ambushes?" Blocking Yi Kuang’s attack, Nana kicked out, sending Yi Kuang flying into a wall.

Magic-loaded with the force of thunder poured into Yi Kuang’s body, causing him to spew out large quantities of blood, leaving him without even the strength to speak.

Seeing how frail his opponent was, Naina lost interest: "Is everyone in the God of Strength Path such trash? How could such a person even be ranked?"

Faced with Naina’s interrogation, what could the gathered guests say? They could only hope that he would spare them.

Seeing no response, Naina didn’t plan to linger; he lifted his right arm as a four-colored battle blade slowly formed.

Moments later, Naina raised his battle blade high and fiercely slashed down at Yi Kuang.

Just at that moment, a figure dropped from the rooftop, blocking Naina’s path. With only two fingers, he caught the wildly powerful four-colored battle blade.

"Phantom Demon Emperor?"

Facing the uninvited guest’s question, Naina narrowed his eyes: "Who are you? Daring to mess with my business?" he said, as the magic power in his hand erupted, making the blade ring out.

But surprisingly, the newcomer didn’t move at all, no matter how violently the battle blade raged, it couldn’t escape his two-finger grip.

This time, Naina shelved his contempt: "Who exactly are you?"

"Augustus?!" Without waiting for the newcomer to respond, the guests provided the answer, their tone filled with excitement and exhilaration.

Naina finally took a serious look at the man before him: "Are you the number one in the God of Strength Path?"

"That would seem to be the case," Augustus replied indifferently. As he spoke, he exerted pressure with his two fingers, and Naina’s formed battle blade burst into smithereens, turning into nothingness.

"Is that so!" Naina took a step forward, locking eyes with Augustus and smiled: "What do you think would happen if I defeated you?"

"You can try," Augustus replied, unmoved by Naina’s threat, his eyelids not even twitching.

"Then I won’t hold back!" As his words fell, Naina’s fist, as large as a sandbag, smashed towards Augustus’s forehead.

Augustus raised his arm to block, easily neutralizing the attack.

The next second, a barrage of furious attacks smashed towards Augustus like a storm, but he easily neutralized every one of them.

Naina’s expression grew serious; it was clear that Augustus was an expert.

Jumping back nearly ten meters, Naina swung his arm, and the power of four elements formed a torrent in the sky. The poor tavern, already torn apart by the magic vortex, was no longer the bustling place it once was.

"Phantom Demon Four Assassinations!" Naina used his skill: earthy yellow magic transformed into a giant python and charged towards Augustus, followed by blue magic turning into a majestic eagle swooping down; purple thunder magic assumed the form of a fierce dragon, roaring thunderously, as a thunderbolt shot out from its mouth. The last fire element morphed into a fiery phoenix, spewing divine flames.

The four-colored magic became four demon beasts, launching four simultaneous attacks. From afar, the power was terrifying, causing the guests to flee, fearing they might get caught in the resulting havoc.

"Die!" Naina laughed wildly, confident in his attack. Although he was seventh in the Silver Radiance Path, even the number one ranked warrior dared not directly receive this skill. Seeing Augustus’s overconfidence, excitement uncontrollably surged through Naina, sensing his opponent’s impending defeat.

"Isolate!"

Augustus spoke softly. As the raging four elements surged towards him, a bizarre sight occurred. No matter how fierce the elemental forces were, they couldn’t harm Augustus in the slightest. Upon closer inspection, it appeared that an invisible protective barrier isolated all the incoming magic power.

If Lu Hong were here, he would definitely recognize this skill, reminiscent of Zun Long’s secret technique, "A Stone’s Throw," albeit a simplified version with much less power, yet more than enough to handle Naina’s assault.

Naina, however, was not stupid; he finally recognized Augustus’s profession.

"Are you a damn Space Mage?!" Naina was completely taken aback. A mage within the God of Strength Path, and the top one at that?

"What, can’t a mage fight up close?" Augustus sneered, then, using his magic power to bridge the spatial gap, he appeared right in front of Naina and kicked him.

Naina blocked with his arm, but Augustus disappeared from sight.

Naina didn’t even have time to curse, he hastily turned to defend, but it was too late; he took a kick from Augustus right in the buttocks, tumbling over several times before stabilizing.

Feeling a burning pain on his buttocks, Naina’s anger reached its peak: "You motherfucker, have the guts to face me in a fair fight!"

"As you wish!" Augustus grunted, throwing a punch.

"Ha ha ha, bring it on!" Confident in a head-on collision, Naina responded.

But reality dealt him a harsh blow, far worse than Yi Kuang had faced.

With one punch from Augustus, Naina’s right arm exploded, and he tumbled over several times before collapsing unconscious next to Yi Kuang.

Yi Kuang’s face lit up with pleasure as he drew his blade, ready to kill his opponent.

But Augustus got there first, kicking Yi Kuang away and coldly saying: "Don’t disgrace our God of Strength Path."

Even though Yi Kuang was reluctant, he had to comply: "Yes!"

Augustus gave him a indifferent glance: "Behave yourself."

With that, he turned and left.
