Chapter 97: Breaking Through Again!

  Boom

  A loud noise echoed within Shangguan Yu, a sound that only he could hear. This signified that he had once again broken through to another boundary. Previously, he was at the Human Marquis realm, now he was at the Earth Marquis realm.

  Shangguan Yu examined his lower body and was astonished to find that the severe injuries from before had almost fully recovered. Fortunately, he had broken through to a new realm, otherwise such severe injuries would have taken a long time to heal. This time, Shangguan Yu's injuries were the most severe he had ever experienced, and he had never suffered such heavy wounds before.

  But as the saying goes, it's not until things fall apart that they can be rebuilt. This time, Shangguan Yu was indeed fortunate in misfortune. If he hadn't been severely injured this time, it would have taken him a while longer to break through to the Earth Realm.

  Shangguan Yu stood up, shook his arms and found that they were indeed stronger than before. He took out the You Long spear and swung it with force a couple of times. "The feeling of breaking through to the Earth Realm is great!" Shangguan Yu muttered to himself.

  Seeing Shangguan Yu dancing with the Swimming Dragon Spear, Qin Shou and Zhu Shoucheng were even more surprised. They knew about Shangguan Yu's injuries, how could he recover so quickly? They had also taken the Rejuvenation Pill, but it didn't have such a good effect on them.

  "How could this be? Have the golden dragon and the black-and-white twin dragons really disappeared?" Shangguan Yu furrowed his brow, he had used the "Eight Trigrams Dragon Slashing Gun", but none of the three dragons appeared.

  He once again used the "Eight Trigrams Dragon Gun" but still couldn't get that feeling. Not to mention the golden yellow divine dragon and the black and white twin dragons. It seems like he needs to restart his training, but Shangguan Yu has confidence in cultivating an even stronger divine dragon. As if sensing something, he lifted his head and looked up at the sky.

  The sky suddenly darkened, and upon closer inspection, a large patch of dark clouds appeared above Yu's head. The dark clouds slowly dispersed, revealing the rolling lightning within.

  Shangguan Yu naturally also saw those flashes of lightning, but with the experience of the first two times, Shangguan Yu would no longer be afraid of these flashes of lightning. These flashes of lightning were just tools for him to temper his body, they were supplements, they were heavenly treasures and earthly jewels.

  Those guards, however, did not think so. Someone exclaimed, "Look, what is that? How can there be such lightning in those dark clouds? What are these lightnings going to do? Even if it's raining heavily, it's impossible for so many lightnings to appear."

  "It's not a thunderbolt. I've heard that when a martial artist with an exceptionally high boundary is upgrading their boundary, they will encounter a tribulation of lightning. Is someone going to cross the calamity?" Someone chimed in.

  "Could it be that our king is about to upgrade his realm? Our king is really formidable, if these lightning bolts were to strike me, I would definitely be dead." Someone flattered.

  "What nonsense are you talking about? Look at that dark cloud, it's above whose head? Those lightning bolts are clearly all above that young man's head, so this calamity is naturally his. But looking at that young man's age, it's impossible for him to have such a high cultivation level." Someone doubted.

  "I know, I know." someone exclaimed excitedly, "I heard my great-grandfather say that some warriors are exceptionally gifted and will encounter heavenly tribulations at a very young age. People with such high innate abilities have already been envied by heaven."

  "Isn't that right? That young man's talent has already reached the realm of heavenly jealousy? If my talent were this good, I wouldn't mind living a few decades less." Someone envied.

  "You're just talking nonsense. If your talent was that high, you'd have no problem living for a few thousand years. So what's the big deal about living a few decades less?" someone retorted.

  Shangguan Yu listened to these people's words, but he couldn't help laughing and crying. He didn't think his talent was so good that it reached the realm of heavenly jealousy. If it were really heavenly jealousy, the thunder tribulation wouldn't be so gentle. He always felt that this thunder tribulation was just a heavenly tribulation, as if it was taking care of him extra carefully.

  The entire Tianxuan continent, probably only Shangguan Yu felt that the heavenly tribulation was gentle. If his idea were to be known by those old undead, he would likely be drowned to death by their saliva.

  "Hiss...hiss...hiss..."

  The first bolt of lightning struck down towards Shangguan Yu, who stretched out his body as if savoring the sensation. He stood up, welcoming this heavenly tribulation. "Heavenly Tribulation, strike me with all your might! Let the lightning come even more fiercely!" Shangguan Yu's heart roared.

  "Hurry up, you guys are courting death! If we get struck by the heavenly thunder, we'll all be reduced to ashes! Think about how it feels to have so many lightning bolts striking your body, if you don't want to die, quickly leave this place!" Zhu Shoucheng shouted loudly.

  When they heard Zhu Shoucheng's words, the guards were initially skeptical. However, looking at Zhu Shoucheng and Qin Shou who had already walked far away, and Zhu Shoucheng didn't need to deceive them. Looking again at the rolling thunder in the sky, they also chose to leave far away.

  Shangguan Yu looked at the crowd, he also knew for the first time that Tian Jie could also be used on others. "Brother Shifu, can this Tian Jie also be used on others?" Shangguan Yu asked loudly to Zhu Shoucheng.

  "Yes, be careful, junior brother. It's not that I won't help you, but the stronger one's realm is, the stronger the heavenly tribulation they face will be. What you're facing now is just the heavenly tribulation of a peak-stage warrior, if it were me, I would be facing the heavenly tribulation of a post-peak-stage warrior." Zhu Shoucheng also replied loudly.

  Upon hearing Zhu Shoucheng's words, a hint of contemplation flashed across Yuwen Yue's eyes. "Heh heh..." Yuwen Yue sneered, "If that's the case, then Xiao Zhen, shouldn't we also settle our previous accounts?" Yuwen Yue muttered to himself.

  Looking at the sinister smile on Shangguan Yu's face, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. As if something dangerous was about to happen, everyone unconsciously took a step back. But Qin Shou seemed to be deep in thought, and he also seemed to know what Shangguan Yu was thinking.

  Shangguan Yu, with so many lightning bolts on him, finally started moving. Probably only Shangguan Yu could be so relaxed under the heavenly tribulation. A faint smile still hung on Shangguan Yu's face as he walked towards Xiao Zhen and Xiao Bin's battlefield.

  Xiao Zhen and Xiao Bin have been fighting all along until now, as for Shangguan Yu's breakthrough, they don't have the leisure to care about it. The two of them have clashed many times before, and they are both very clear about each other's strength.

  Xiao Zhen originally thought that Xiao Bin would go through the motions with him this time, but he didn't expect that Xiao Bin would be so desperate. As soon as Xiao Bin started, he went all out and didn't give Xiao Zhen any chance to escape.

  "You're despicable! I didn't think you, a black-faced rascal, would be so shameless!" Xiao Zhen saw that his last two guards had been taken care of and began to curse loudly. Even the way he referred to himself changed from "this king" to "I", it seemed he was truly enraged. "Xiao Bin, you and I are irreconcilable!"

  "Hey... what did I do to you?" Xiao Bin also shouted loudly, "You rabbit's bastard, dare to talk to me like that? Today, I must kill you! You and I are not on the same level? When have I ever had a good relationship with you?"

  Compared to scolding people, Xiao Zhen was no match for Xiao Bin. Listening to Xiao Bin's words, Xiao Zhen's face quickly turned red with rage. "Fine, today I'll fight you to the death, this dark-faced rascal! Either you die or I perish!"

  The voices of the two people talking were very loud, not only did Shangguan Yu hear them, but others also heard them. However, the specific situation of the two fighting was unclear to Shangguan Yu. Shangguan Yu could feel the strength of their powers, and he thought it would be impossible for him to enter the middle of the battlefield.

  The gap between the Extreme Boundary and the King's Extreme Boundary was too great after all, even the aftermath of a battle could cause injury to Shangguan Yu. Not to mention being in the midst of the battlefield, Shangguan Yu dared to be certain that if he walked in, he would definitely be torn into several pieces, or even reduced to dust and ashes.

  Lightning continued to strike Uemura, but he didn't feel any discomfort. On the contrary, he felt that after these lightning bolts entered his body, his physical self-healing ability had become even stronger. Gradually, Uemura discovered that all the injuries on his body had healed.

  Xiao Bin and Xiao Zhen, however, were met with a deafening crash. Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to them, all wanting to know who had won or lost this time. This was a matter of life and death for them; if Xiao Zhen emerged victorious, they would likely all be killed.

  Suddenly a deafening loud noise came out, and everyone's eyes were focused on the place where Xiao Zhen and Xiao Bin were fighting. Shangguan Yu was also staring intently, the flying sand and walking stones gradually disappeared, revealing the scene of the battle inside.

  Shangguan Yu took a deep breath, and saw that the place where the two were fighting was full of pits and holes. Not to mention the surface, some places even had springs bubbling up from underground. Just by looking at this, Shangguan Yu could tell how big the gap between him and Xiao Zhen was.

  Xiao Bin's body was stained with large patches of blood, and he was panting heavily. However, Xiao Bin still held the giant axe in his hand, glaring fiercely at Xiao Zhen. Shangguan Yu clearly saw that Xiao Bin's standing body had already swayed slightly, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.

  Xiao Zhen was about the same, holding that big knife and standing not far from Xiao Bin. Xiao Zhen was also fiercely staring at Xiao Bin, with fresh blood still on his lips. The magnificent clothes he wore when he came were already tattered and stained with blood flowers.

  Shangguan Yu saw this scene, but he was delighted. He knew his chance had come. Originally, if it were a fully victorious Xiao Zhen, it would be very troublesome. But if it were this kind of state of Xiao Zhen, Shangguan Yu was very confident. Looking at their appearance, Xiao Zhen and Xiao Bin were probably both seriously injured.

  "The king of the Southern Bandit Kingdom, thank you for saving my life! Now please step aside, Your Majesty, and let me handle Xiao Zhen!" Shangguan Yu shouted loudly at Xiao Bin.
