The large Divine Imperial City had a radius of over thirty miles. Yan Tiangang’s avatar might be able to reach a place over thirty miles, but at such a distance, Semi-God Realm warriors could be safe from his attacks.

Even if Yan Tiangang were able to strike Semi-God Realm warriors across that distance, they could probably stay alive. Besides, there were so many residents in the city. A massive attack could inflict harm on people of his own family.

Therefore, Yan Tiangang did the smart thing and stopped his attacks. He wanted to pass on some divine energy and a powerful skill to Yan Hu via a special channel. Within a certain period of time, Yan Hu’s abilities could be elevated, and he could go after all the Semi-God Realm warriors while Yan Tiangang would stay at the Divine Imperial Castle to remain in command. He would monitor the city and look for opportunities to annihilate his enemies.

Yan Hu stood under the illusion of Yan Tiangang. The latter put one hand on Yan Hu’s head. The hand glowed in a golden light. Yan Hu’s physical body was being enhanced in a speed visible to the naked eye…

Yan Tiangang could not have bloated. It was a fact that Yan Hu was becoming stronger. The Deaf Taoist and Blazing Huo did not dare to go closer, not to mention the other Semi-God Realm warriors. All of them had retreated to the corners.

“Huo, Taoist, what do we do now?”

Several Semi-God Realm warriors flew over, looking at Blazing Huo and the Deaf Taoist in anxiety. The shield was on, and the city gates were closed. They had no way out. Naturally, they were panicking as Yan Hu was becoming more and more powerful…

“Stay calm!”

Blazing Huo was still seemingly composed. While staring at Yan Hu, he said, “Later, let’s work together to kill Yan Hu. Yan Tiangang is far away and cannot reach us. When Lord Lu comes, everything will be fine!”

Yan Tiangang was a mighty warrior, but it was only his avatar here, and it could not move about. Warriors on Lu Li’s side retreated toward the corners. By the time Yan Tiangang’s crescent saber flew over, the warriors had already moved away.

The warriors nodded and sent the message among themselves as they glared at Yan Hu nervously. The Deaf Taoist did not look at Yan Hu, but the immortal’s body who was hiding in a corner!

The immortal’s body was acting abnormally, very much so. As far as the Deaf Taoist knew, the immortal’s body was just a puppet that would carry out Lu Li’s orders. The immortal’s body just dashed into the city which implied that the order from Lu Li was to attack the enemies in the city.

Now, the immortal’s body had learnt to retreat?

What was the immortal’s body doing by leaning against the wall and not moving at all? Had the immortal’s body grown a soul? Had he learned about fear and got scared that Yan Tiangang would crush his body?

“This is tricky!”

Lu Renhuang frowned. He did not know that Yan Tiangang could be this strong. Just an avatar could kill warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm. While Lu Renhuang was confident, he was not so full of himself that he would think of himself as No. 1 in the world. He knew that even with the Bead of Wood, he would not offer any help. It was better for him to stay away and wait for the cat to jump.

“Buzzing~”

Yan Hu’s body began to emit a faint glow in a golden color. He was becoming increasingly stronger, much, much stronger than Blazing Huo. Yan Hu was a warrior at the peak of the Semi-God Realm to begin with, and he was not weaker than Chen Tianxian.

Tension grew in the city. Residents of the city began to withdraw toward the north of the city, hiding behind Yan Tiangang’s illusion. Many residents dropped to their knees in feverish worship, kowtowing. At this critical moment, their god had taken action. Their god had been protecting them.

After the time for an incense stick to burn, Yan Hu had progressed to the peak stage. Yan Tiangang moved his hand away and glared at the Semi-God Realm warriors at the city south and said, “Yan Hu, go and kill them all!”

“Yes, sir!”

Yan Hu opened his eyes, which seemed to be filled with thunderbolts and golden light. He appeared to be confident and excited. After bowing to Yan Tiangang, Yan Hu dashed toward Blazing Huo and the Deaf Taoist like a sharp sword.

“But…”

As soon as Yan Hu took action, the others got scared. He was 10 times faster than before, faster than Blazing Huo and the Deaf Taoist. In a blink, Yan Hu had come close.

“Charge!”

Blazing Huo and the Deaf Taoist shouted simultaneously. If they could kill Yan Hu with a concerted effort, then Yan Tiangang would not be able to kill any of them no matter how mighty he was.

The Deaf Taoist was the first to move. He charged toward Yan Hu head-on and swung his stone column at Yan Hu forcefully. Almost at the same time, Blazing Huo took action. He used Ghost Fire and Corpse Candle, the two types of most horrifying flames.

The other capable Semi-God Realm warriors swarmed over, each turning to his or her own special skills, trying to finish Yan Hu at once.

Lu Renhuang did not take action. Instead, he focused his psychic power on Yan Hu and was observing Yan Tiangang secretly. The most powerful Profound Meaning he studied was Ice-bound World. Once used, not only Yan Hu, even Blazing Huo and the Deaf Taoist would be affected. Lu Renhuang believed he might just as well not do it.

“Oh, no!”

The next second, Lu Renhuang shouted to himself. He noticed that Yan Hu had vanished in the air.

When so many people were attacking, the spatial area that Yan Hu was in trembled violently. How could Yan Hu have the courage to teleport at this time? If he did not want to sacrifice his life, then it must be because of Yan Tiangang’s skill.

“Icebound World!”

Lu Renhuang did not hesitate and released the Profound Meaning at once. Space was frozen and even Blazing Huo and the Deaf Taoist were frozen in this instant.

“Swish~”

Lu Renhuang himself was not affected. He rushed over. The green bead shone brightly in his hand. The bead turned into a huge shield that protected himself, the Deaf Taoist, and Blazing Huo.

“Bang!”

There came a muffled noise. Lu Renhuang felt he had bumped into a mountain. Even with the shield defending him, he could not stand the force. He was smashed away, and so were Blazing Huo, the Deaf Taoist, and the Relic shield.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Yan Hu snuck out from the air and was infuriated. If it were not for Lu Renhuang, he would have crushed the Deaf Taoist’s head by now.

After Yan Tiangang passed the divine energy and skills to Yan Hu, the latter could clearly feel that his strength had grown to a horrifying state. He was confident that he could smash any Semi-God Realm warrior here to death. However, unexpectedly, he was stopped by Lu Renhuang’s Relic.

What made Yan Hu more wrathful was that the Wood of Bead once belonged to the Yan Family. Last time, Yan Gu brought it to the Heaven Reverse Universe and was taken away by Lu Li.

“Go to hell!”

Yan Hu madly shouted. He rushed toward the Semi-God Realm warriors nearby. Yan Hu punched at them. A Semi-God Realm warrior’s head was crushed. Even with a Quasi Relic on, the warrior could not stand the force of the punch.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Yan Hu was quick and strong. In the time for two blinks, before Lu Renhuang, the Deaf Taoist, and Blazing Huo could react, four Semi-God Realm warriors had lost their heads. Nobody stood a chance against Yan Hu.

“Run!”

The other Semi-God Realm warriors were frightened. They withdrew at once. Yan Hu threw a glance to Lu Renhuang, the Deaf Taoist, and Blazing Huo. Eventually, Yan Hu decided to go after other Semi-God Realm warriors.

Lu Renhuang had the Relic. To kill him would not be easy. In addition, the Deaf Taoist and Blazing Huo were ferocious. Yan Hu decided that he should finish all the other Semi-God Realm warriors first and then come back to them.

“Spatial teleportation?”

Blazing Huo and the Deaf Taoist looked at each other. They were scared to notice that while several Semi-God Realm warriors tried to fight back, Yan Hu could move away by teleportation.

If Lu Li could not come back to the city in time, then today would bode ill rather than well for them.
