Chapter 2123 - Attack

Chapter 2123: Attack

“Wow!” Gazing at the magnificent city far away from a high vantage point, Fang Cun could not help but express his fascination. Was this the outside world? At that moment, his eyes lit up. The outside world must be quite fascinating! It was no wonder his father, as well as every generation before him, went out to explore.

“So big…” Little Ling also mumbled with a look of yearning.

Growing up in the village and having spent their entire lives in the village, this was the first time they went out and saw the outside world. In the past, they had only got to know the outside world from afar.

“So many people. The sky is filled with flying people!” Tie Tou looked at the people flying around in the sky.

Only Duo Yu remained silent while looking at everything. While he was more cheerful than before, it was not a complete change. He was still introverted and did not like to speak that much.

However, his eyes still oozed an expectant look. So, the village is only so small, and there are so many people outside… he thought.

Ye Futian looked at the four teenagers and could not help but lament a little bit. These teenagers were only starting to step into the world. In the past, they had thought that their village was the entire world. Now, everything would change. However, it was hard to say they would forever hold on to the same kind of teenage naivety and pureness.

Back when Blind Tie and the others left the village, they also had similar feelings. However, the cruel world would ultimately change everything.

“Come, let’s go out and explore,” said Ye Futian. After that, they leaped into the sky and headed towards their destination.

Not long after, they arrived in Four Corner City.

Four Corner City’s streets were wide. The flow of people from both sides of the street never stopped. In the past year or so, countless practitioners had moved into the city from afar. While Four Corner City had remained very quiet, they were not in a hurry. For a powerful faction, as long as they did not encounter a huge disaster, it could last for a very long time, thousands to tens of thousands of years at least.

With such a long time horizon, it was natural for the surrounding areas to grow and develop. Moreover, the complete opening of Four Corner Village was inevitable and would attract practitioners from the outside. Since they had already decided that they would join the world, they would surely head towards a path of greatness. By then, many opportunities would appear.

Fang Cun led the other youngsters scurrying all over the place. The dazzling array of items on display in shops on the two sides of the street completely captured their attention. They had not even seen some of the clothes before.

Blind Tie followed the teenagers from behind quietly, protecting them from danger. Ye Futian and the others followed further behind with smiles on their faces.

Xia Qingyuan said, “It sure is nice to be young without a worry or care in the world.” She was a little envious of the teenagers. Pure and naive. It was because they knew and understood so little about the world that they could relax and enjoy it so much.

“I was like this, too, when I was a teenager. But my godfather taught me a lot of things,” said Ye Futian with a chuckle. Everything that happened in Qingzhou seemed a century ago. His memory from back then had become hazy, and it seemed like it was such a long time ago.

Time corrodes memories.

Xia Qingyuan looked at him. Unlike Ye Futian, when she was a teenager, she was the proud daughter of Emperor Xia—the master of Emperor Xia’s realm—and as such, she also knew a lot of things. She was a lot more mature than her peers.

The two of them grew up in completely different environments, and the environment that Ye Futian grew up in seemed a lot more relaxed.

However, it being so relaxed had also made everything he experienced later so much harder.

“I’d like to meet your godfather,” mumbled Xia Qingyuan.

“Why?” Ye Futian asked with a chuckle.

“I’d like to see what kind of person created a person like you.” Xia Qingyuan looked at Ye Futian.

“In truth, I’d also like to know what kind of person he is,” Ye Futian replied with a smile. He did not understand his godfather as well.

“Hey, you guys, slow down a little,” Ye Futian shouted at the teenagers in front of them. Then, he picked up his pace to catch up to the four teenagers in front. The teenagers had become excited and had winds in their steps.

After a few hours, they were still running around everywhere. Three of them had new outfits on. Little Tie, Tie Tou, and Duo Yu’s outfits were quite simple before. At that moment, it was like they had become someone else completely. They looked a lot more lively as their bodies oozed the vigors of youth.

“Brother Fang Cun, just how big is this city? How come we haven’t finished exploring it no matter how much we explore?” Little Ling asked Fang Cun, who was standing beside her.

“Hah, this is nothing. At our pace, we can’t even finish exploring an entire city in a year,” replied Fang Cun. Little Ling looked at him in shock. Was it so big?

“Stop.”

At that moment, a voice appeared. Blind Tie stepped on the ground and created a formless wave that led to a low grumble from the ground. Everyone walking around the area stopped moving. Their hearts trembled violently. Even the houses on the sides were trembling.

Baboom, baboom… Hearts beat faster as gazes shifted towards Blind Tie, who continued to stand there. His might completely shrouded the place and spread further away. Everyone could feel the suffocating pressure.

Fang Cun and the other three teenagers also stopped moving and turned around to look at Blind Tie.

“Fang Cun, come back!” Ye Futian shouted. Fang Cun and the others turned around to walk toward where they came from. From afar, several beings with frightening aura had arrived, and they were headed towards their location. At that moment, many people in the surrounding area regained their senses and immediately understood what was going on. They quickly scattered and left the area. They had realized that a battle between some powerful characters was about to take place.

Bang, bang, bang… Buildings began to crumble while the bluestones on the ground also started to crack. A powerful windstorm blew toward them.

Blind Tie took a step forward. A dull rumbling sound rang in the air, and, in an instant, the space around them and everything within it trembled. Chasms appeared on the ground, and the windstorm was actually unable to progress further. It was stopped in its tracks outside the space that Ye Futian’s group occupied.

From afar, several powerful Renhuangs had arrived, and they looked toward Ye Futian’s group.

This was the largest and most intense conflict since the founding of Four Corner City. The aura belonged to a person at the mighty level.

Did the people from Four Corner Village come?

They saw Ye Futian, Blind Tie, and the teenagers and guessed where they had come from. They were most likely from Four Corner Village. However, who was the one who initiated the attack?

Back then, three peak figures arrived at the village. After that, they recognized the existence of Four Corner Village and gave the order to leave Four Corner Village. Now, so many powerful cultivators had come again. Did that mean that they had not yet completely given up?

Bam! Blind Tie took a step forward. This body seemed to have grown tall and stalwart. He stretched out his arm and opened his palm. Then, in an instant, a Hammer of Tianshen appeared in his palm. At the same time, beautiful and vague patterns appeared behind him. It was as if a Tianshen had appeared.

Blind Tie swung his arm forward. In the direction of his swing, heaven and earth shook and crumbled. Everything within a hundred miles of in that direction had been annihilated; only ashes were left. Moreover, those were only the aftereffects caused by the main attack. The real attack directly struck one of those powerful practitioners.

It was an elder. His expression changed completely. He whose cultivation level had already reached the sky was actually feeling a tiny sense of powerlessness at that moment. With his body as the center, a terrifying windstorm appeared. However, at that moment, the windstorm was completely suppressed.

Rumble! The Hammer of Tianshen slammed downward and, accompanied by an excruciating shout, the elder was gone, and only ashes remained!
