Mundane Saint

Chapter 100 – Tribulation Crossing stage Master's Battle

Prince Yanxuan's name was naturally well-known to them.

He was the most favored and trusted younger brother of the current Sunflare Emperor and the second most powerful cultivator in the royal family, second only to the Emperor himself. His fief spanned thousands of miles, rich in spiritual energy and fertile lands, making him no ordinary figure.

Thus, the originally tense standoff between Xiao Ling and Huang Li immediately ceased when this warship appeared, with both taking a step back.

The sudden appearance of the Sunflare royal family here, regardless of the reason, deserved due respect.

Otherwise, it would be seen as a challenge to the royal authority, punishable by death!

Not to mention, with just Prince Yanxuan alone present, neither Huang Li nor Xiao Ling dared to act recklessly in his presence.

For this prince could crush them both with a single hand!

At the sixth level of the Tribulation Crossing stage, his power was immense!

The two of them had just entered the Tribulation Crossing stage and hadn't even fully grasped the extent of such power.

Soon after, a figure strode out from the warship. Prince Yanxuan was dressed in a crimson gold brocade robe, adorned with a magnificent crown, exuding an overwhelming aura as he walked with the grace of a dragon and the strength of a tiger.

"Well, here's a rather imposing fellow."

On a low hill, Li Da Hu looked at the suddenly appearing Prince Yanxuan, his honest expression tinged with a hint of amusement.

"Brother Li, do you know who that is?"

Gu Heng could only see from a distance. Although he could see clearly, he didn't recognize who this noble in brocade was, so he asked.

"Ah, that's Prince Yanxuan, just a minor figure. Brother Gu didn't know him before, and there's no need to know him now."

Li Da Hu waved his large hand, casually picking another fruit from the pile Gu Heng had brought out to eat.

This Prince Yanxuan was merely at the sixth level of the Tribulation Crossing stage.

Li Da Hu didn't care much, and neither did his much stronger Brother Gu.

Prince Yanxuan?

Could he be a prince of the Sunflare Empire?

Gu Heng indeed wasn't well-versed in these matters, but he didn't care why the royal family had sent someone here.

Surely, they weren't here to mediate.

At this moment, Prince Yanxuan narrowed his long eyes slightly, his cold gaze sweeping below, finally settling on the two most intense auras in Desolate Valley.

Feeling Prince Yanxuan's gaze, both Xiao Ling and Huang Li made their moves.

The two of them simultaneously cupped their hands in salute, "Greetings, Prince Yanxuan!"

"At ease," Prince Yanxuan waved his hand, "I heard that both of you have entered the Tribulation Crossing stage and have brought your families here for a duel. I came to join the excitement. May I have the honor of watching?"

Xiao Ling and Huang Li exchanged a glance.

Why was Prince Yanxuan, with so many important matters to attend to, ignoring the empire's affairs to watch their life-and-death battle?

Huang Li had no particular thoughts, but Xiao Ling, more perceptive than the blade-obsessed Huang Li, vaguely felt that this was not a simple matter.

"With the prince's presence, it would be our honor."

After some thought, both answered in unison.

If Prince Yanxuan wanted to watch, they would let him. Refusal was not an option unless they no longer valued their lives.

"In that case, I shall humbly accept."

Prince Yanxuan laughed heartily, and then, a Black Flame Army soldier brought out a dragon throne, placing it on the deck of the warship. Once Prince Yanxuan was seated, the warship slowly descended, hovering in mid-air.

The prince naturally occupied the best spot, the closest position.

He was not afraid of being affected by the aftermath of the battle.

"You may begin!"

Prince Yanxuan waved his hand, his voice, infused with true energy, spreading throughout Desolate Valley, clearly heard by all.

Xiao Ling and Huang Li ceased their standoff.

Both were enveloped in powerful auras, their energy soaring skyward, threatening to shatter the heavens!

"Hmph, take this!"

Huang Li couldn't hold back any longer. With a snort, he launched a powerful palm strike, enveloped in vast dao energy, smashing forward.

The battle commenced!

The show began, and no one wanted to blink.

Huang Li's palm imprint rushed towards Xiao Ling, and with just the first move, the terrifying power of a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator was fully displayed!

"Good move!"

Xiao Ling drew his fingers together, a brilliant golden light flashing as he countered.

In an instant, the golden light shattered.

The palm imprint broke.

Xiao Ling and Huang Li were both pushed back by the residual force, only then regaining their footing.

The spectators saw that Huang Li's stance was more stable, while Xiao Ling retreated further, indicating that the Nianling Sect was at a slight disadvantage in this initial exchange.

There was some commotion on the Nianling Sect's spirit ship. Seeing Xiao Ling retreat so much, the disciples felt a tightening in their chests.

It was clear that their Supreme Elder was still slightly weaker!

Just because he broke through to the Tribulation Crossing stage a week later, in that week, Huang Li might have become more adept at mastering the power of the Tribulation Crossing stage, giving them an advantage!

Zhu Ling, Mu Chong, and Wu Rong, the higher-ups of the Nianling Sect, were sweating nervously, while on the Wasteland Sword Sect's side, Huang Li's initial advantage elicited cheers from the elders and disciples!

"Good! Finally, a worthy opponent for a proper fight!"

Huang Li's eyes shone brightly, his entire being invigorated as if on adrenaline, and with a roar, he attacked again.

"Bring it on!"

Xiao Ling was not to be outdone, and the two exchanged dozens of rounds in the blink of an eye.

In Desolate Valley, countless waves of energy swept through, and the intense energy caused nearby peaks to tremble. However, those daring to watch the battle were all cultivators, mostly young elites from sects and clans, protected by elders, so they weren't worried about being caught in the crossfire.

Of course, getting any closer was impossible. This level of dao energy clash was beyond what low-level cultivators could withstand. Getting too close would mean being torn to shreds.

Amid the fierce battle, both Xiao Ling and Huang Li began to show injuries.

Huang Li had seven or eight wounds on his chest and abdomen, while Xiao Ling's left side was bruised and battered, indicating injuries to his muscles and bones.

Clearly, neither was in great shape.

But both knew they hadn't used their full strength.

"Boom—"

They clashed again, and Huang Li was the first to pull back.

Xiao Ling didn't pursue.

Their previous exchanges had been mere tests, and though they appeared injured, they still had plenty of strength left.

Now, the probing was over.

The spectators were captivated, watching intently.

Mortals couldn't grasp the intricacies, only finding the swift movements, the combination of fists and feet, and the explosive sounds thrilling.

They watched for the spectacle.

The young cultivators, however, tried to glean insights from Xiao Ling and Huang Li's moves, their exchanges, and the use of dao energy, hoping to gain some understanding.

Of course, this depended on talent.

Some with low comprehension and mediocre talent would end up like mortals...

Just watching for the spectacle.
