Gate of God

"We can’t let a Fallen Asura stay alive!"

"If we can’t control it, we can only kill it!"

"Kill!"

Before Mu Qingfeng could give the order, dozens of disciples moved. The swords in their hands shone with an unparalleled brightness.

Fallen Asura.

A puppet of the Hell Asura.

How could they let him stay alive?

At this moment, Yan Xiu turned to look at the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples. Compared to his usual cold self, his eyes brimmed with an unholy iciness.

It was a look of extreme evil.

He was like a demon, standing far above the mortals as he stared down at them. Cold, bloodthirsty, but also immensely proud.

Asura!

A proud and lonely Asura!

Then, Yan Xiu’s body turned black. He now resembled a black shadow. He fused with the black qi around him.

"Asura Hell!" Yan Xiu cried out coldly.

The moment he said that the earth started to tremble violently. Following that, ink-black streams of gas shot out from the ground.

"Boom!"

"Crack!" The first Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple who rushed forth was trapped by the black gas. At the same time, the cringe-worthy sound of a bone cracking could be heard.

Then...

The second stream, third stream, and fourth stream...

"Kaboom!"

The entire Heaven Academic Altar was completely turned upside-down. Countless streams of black gas shot out from the ground. Every single one of them was like a razor-sharp claw as they grabbed the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples.

"Ah!" A cry of agony. One of the disciples’ elbow was seized. Then, he was dragged underground.

This was hell.

True Asura Hell.

"Quick, kill Yan Xiu! We can’t show mercy anymore!"

When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw the black streams of gas, sweat covered their faces. None of them held back anymore as they attack fiercely.

Somewhere far away.

Nangong Hao, clad in white scholar robes, stood where he was. His clear, white sword was held behind his back and his fists were clenched tight.

He did not look at Yan Xiu at all.

Instead, he stared at Nangong Mu. As he watched Yan Qing and Nangong Mu battled furiously, a light shone in his eyes.

"Younger brother, my younger brother..." Nangong Hao’s lips opened slightly. He appeared in pain. "Father, since you already have me, why did you let brother be involved too? Why? You know brother likes strength. You know how much I love him and yet, you... you want to force me. However, you don’t have to, because I’ve already vowed that I’ll carry on the mission of the Nangong family. However, I won’t let my brother be involved!"

"Boom!" The ground started to shake.

Nangong Hao clenched his fists.

"Yow!"

At this moment, one could hear the clear cry of a beast in the sky. It came from far away, but it brimmed with a powerful penetrative ability.

Quickly, a huge shadow blocked the sun.

It was an eagle-like beast whose body was covered with countless, snow-white scales. Its wings were huge and as it flapped, it was able to summon cyclone-like wind.

On its back...

There was a figure. The bottom of her pink dresses fluttered in the wind. However, there was still a drop of blood near her mouth.

One could tell, from the noise it made and the speed at which it reached the Heaven Academic Altar, that it was extremely fast. It all took place in seconds.

"Here! At last!" Nangong Mu’s eyes brightened. He looked at the huge beast above his head, as well as the figure on the beast. He sighed in relief and said, "Brother, wait a while more, just a while. I can soon finish the mission!"

He was not the only one to notice the beast above the Heaven Academic Altar and the pink figure. The other Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples who were trapped in Asura Hell too lifted their heads.

The moment they lifted their heads, the pink figure leaped down.

Dress billowed in the wind.

Her beauty was stunning. At that moment, the edges of her mouth were still blood-streaked. Furthermore, she looked slightly pale.

However, she emitted an impossibly beautiful air, which made the expression of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples glaze over. It was as if they had seen a ravishing portrait.

She was Chi Guyan.

She was the youngest disciple in the Heaven Dao Pavilion. However, everyone adored her, because she was easily one of the prettiest people in the world. Furthermore, her aura could make anyone submit to her.

More importantly...

She was personally invited into the Heaven Dao Pavilion by Mu Qingfeng. She resided alone in a corner of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, elegant and quiet. She was like an immortal who did not want to be bothered with worldly affairs.

Furthermore, she had a mission.

Double Dragon Roll Champion, a prodigy who shocked the whole world. Whoever had her could dominate the world.

She was the Chosen One recognized by the leaders of the five sects and four countries!

"Elder sister?!"

"Sister Chiyan is back!"

When the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion saw who was on the beast, their hearts all leaped with joy and happiness.

However, Chi Guyan did not look at any one of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples. Instead, she stared at one person, who was completely surrounded by black qi.

That person was Yan Xiu.

She jumped off the back of her beast. She did not move quickly, but her eyes were exceptionally bright like the stars.

Black hair billowed behind her back.

Quickly, she arrived on top of Yan Xiu’s head.

Yan Xiu looked up. His eyes brimmed with the solitude and arrogance of an Asura. His black streams of gas, which took the shape of sharp, hellish claws danced.

"Be careful, elder sister!"

"Yan Xiu has turned into a Fallen Asura!"

"Dodge, elder sister!"

The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples all noticed the killing intent that spilled forth from Yan Xiu’s eyes. They also noticed Chi Guyan, who was approaching Yan Xiu, and a sense of panic gripped them.

Yan Xiu moved at this moment.

The Silver Blood Fan in his hands turned into a razor-sharp sword light. Black streams of gas surrounded the sword light as he stabbed at Chi Guyan with it.

Very fast.

Regardless whether it was the speed of Yan Xiu’s attack or the ray of sword light, both were rapid.

Coupled with the fact that Chi Guyan was suspended in mid-air, there was no way she could have dodged it normally. All she could do was to try and parry it.

However, an odd scene appeared at this moment.

When the sword light stabbed out, a huge shadow appeared behind Chi Guyan’s back. It was a human’s shadow. Furthermore, one could see that it was a woman.

A woman with long black hair that fell on her shoulders.

One could tell that the shadow of the woman too had bright eyes. However, her eyes were calm and yet, it stared proudly into the sky.

It was odd because calmness and pride should not be mixed together. However, it weirdly manifested in her two eyes.

Silence, unbelievably silent.

All of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples, as well as the three emperors, all held their breaths. Everyone was still.

Not only were they still, even the sword light Yan Xiu which tried to stab Chi Guyan with became still. The powerful sword light was razor-sharp.

However, it mysteriously stopped before her.

Then...

Chi Guyan’s hand moved. She reached out with her right hand and to touch Yan Xiu’s forehead, slowly. Her movement was so slow until it was like swimming in a lake.

However, Yan Xiu’s body froze and did not move. His eyes stared intently at the right hand that was approaching his head. He appeared enraged.

Until the moment Chi Guyan’s finger touched Yan Xiu’s forehead.

Starlight shone.

Two fingers clamped onto a starlight. Alternatively, one could say that they were pointed forward like a sword gesture. At this moment, they pointed at the dead center of his forehead.

Starlight started to shine.

Then, it dimmed.

It was as if it had entered Yan Xiu’s body.

Following that, the black streams of gas that surrounded Yan Xiu’s body started to tremble violently and furiously. Evil aura started to spread in all four directions.

The earth shook once more.

Countless streams of black gas shot out.

However, none of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples moved. This was because they were all staring intently at Chi Guyan’s fingers.

"Seal!" Chi Guyan said softly. Her voice was like a lark’s. Her red lips trembled slightly.

An astoundingly beautiful scene.

However, in this beauty, there was an eye-catching redness. It was the blood that seeped from her mouth. One’s heart trembled at how red it was.

"Boom!" The heaven and earth shook.

A powerful aura that came from above pressed down. The impossibly brilliant light started to shine, like the brightest stars in the sky.

Bright starlight.

The black streams of gas started to retreat.

They burrowed underground and into Yan Xiu’s body. At long last, all of the black streams of gas were gone. Only Yan Xiu’s body, which had no light, was left.

"Plop!"

Yan Xiu’s body turned soft as he dropped onto the ground.

At the same time, Chi Guyan’s body trembled. The flow of blood from her mouth was uncontrollable. She spat blood out, which looked like an exquisite flower.

"Elder sister!"

"Sister Chi Guyan!"

When the disciples from the Heaven Dao Pavilion saw this scene, they all reacted to it quickly. Quickly, they all flew toward Chi Guyan.

The shadow behind her had disappeared. At this moment, her face was extremely pale. However, oddly, when she dropped onto the ground, the ground behind her had a huge tear in it as if it had been cut by a sword.

It was as if a sword had slashed it.

"Guyan." Mu Qingfeng moved at this moment. His body flashed and he quickly appeared next to her from the sky above.

His long white robes flapped as he lifted her body up.

Naturally...

At this moment, someone else stood in front of Chi Guyan. Someone who did not lift a single finger. White scholar robes fluttered around him.

Nangong Hao.

The moment Chi Guyan spat out a mouthful of blood, he moved. However, Mu Qingfeng was faster. All he could do was to stand quietly behind him.

"Master." Chi Guyan nodded her head. Then, she prepared to greet him. However, when she greeted him, she noticed Fang Zhengzhi, who was in his grasp, but she did not even look at Nangong Hao, who was behind her.

Nangong Hao’s lips trembled as if he wanted to say something.

However, he said nothing. All he did was to stand there quietly and blocked the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples that were crowding around them.

"No need for formalities, you came at the right time. Thanks to your talent, we are able to seal the will of Asura inside Yan Xiu." Mu Qingfeng returned the greeting as he helped her up.

"Yan Xiu is his friend, and naturally mine." Chi Guyan’s voice was not loud and she appeared weak. The blood near her lips was bright.

The other disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion did not appear to catch what she was saying. However, they understood Mu Qingfeng’s words.

"Had elder sister returned a bit later, many more disciples would have died in Yan Xiu’s hands!"

"That’s right, she came back just in time!"

"Under these conditions, elder sister can still seal the will of Asura inside Yan Xiu’s body. She’s a role model for all of us!"

The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples all discussed intently.

When she heard what they were saying, she shook her head. Then, she slowly turned around and looked at the sky behind her.

"Master, I’ve caused trouble for the Heaven Dao Pavilion."

"Trouble?" Mu Qingfeng’s expression faltered and a light flashed in his eyes.

As the Pavilion Leader of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, and Chi Guyan’s master, he clearly knew that ever since she joined the pavilion, the word ’trouble’ had never been raised.

Today...

Chi Guyan called it ’trouble’.

Hence, one could foresee that it was real trouble.

"Trouble? What problem did elder sister create?"

"That’s impossible."

"Didn’t we solve the trouble already?"

When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples heard her words, they were all in shock and disbelief. After all, they really did not know what was more troubling than what had just happened.

They did not believe...

However, they still looked at Chi Guyan and Mu Qingfeng. Then, their eyes widened.

This was because, in the sky, a black cloud flew toward them. The cloud was formed from countless black beasts. On the beasts, there were many figures clad in tight, black robes.
