"I have resolved the issue with the Snow Country tycoon yesterday, and all our businesses in Snow Country can proceed as normal!"
"Things in Huaguo are currently quite tricky, so everyone should not return to Huaguo for now. We will go back once the matters there are handled. However, I must return first!"
Lu Yang said indifferently.
"Lu Yang, you just returned yesterday, and you're already leaving again. Isn't that too hasty?"
Shen Yiman immediately asked upon hearing Lu Yang's words.
"There's no other way. If the issues in Huaguo are not resolved, major problems might arise, so I have to go back!"
After speaking, Lu Yang directly boarded the plane from Youdu Prison and returned to Huaguo.
When he arrived at Youdu Prison, it had already turned into a ruin. The South Sea Sword Demon had vanished without a trace.
"Could this fellow have broken through to the Land Immortal realm?"
Lu Yang wondered in his heart. However, it was beyond his current comprehension. If the South Sea Sword Demon had indeed broken through to the Land Immortal realm, his first target would be to seek revenge from the Xuanwu King.
"Let's go check the Guo family villa!"
With this thought, Lu Yang headed straight for the Guo family villa.
As expected, on the peak of Yan Mountain next to the Guo family villa, two figures stood. One was the South Sea Sword Demon, and the other was the Xuanwu King.
"South Sea Sword Demon, I didn't expect you to be so despicable, taking over a woman's body. It's utterly disgusting. I already know your identity; you are merely a sea fish that transformed. If you are willing to submit to me, I can let you stay by my side. Otherwise, today your soul will be annihilated!"
The Xuanwu King arrogantly declared, looking at the South Sea Sword Demon. At this moment, the Xuanwu King's aura was extremely powerful, yet also incredibly strange.
"Haha, you have no idea how powerful this woman's body is. If not for this woman, I wouldn't have been able to break through to the Land Immortal realm. But what does it matter even if you know? Do you think you can defeat me?"
"Our South Sea lineage inherits from the ancient demon king Kunpeng and cultivates a unique path. You, a mere extraterrestrial demon, cannot defeat me!"
"You only want to use this person's body to enter Earth. Do you think you are that powerful? In my eyes, this body cannot accommodate your entire being. You have only projected a small portion of your soul, so killing you is as easy as flipping my hand!"
The South Sea Sword Demon and the Xuanwu King had been fighting here for a day and a night. Half of Yan Mountain had been shattered by their battle. If it continued like this, Yan Mountain would be leveled.
However, this was considered a dispute within the martial arts world, and the Huaguo authorities did not intervene. Therefore, it was up to Lu Yang alone to capitalize on their conflict and suppress them. If he didn't, they would undoubtedly cause widespread suffering and harm the nation.
But with Lu Yang's current abilities, he was no match for either of them. They could easily annihilate Lu Yang with a casual move. Lu Yang could only wait for them to weaken each other and then reap the benefits.
As Lu Yang pondered these matters, the two had already engaged in a fierce battle.
The Xuanwu King wielded his Soul-Slaying Sword and attacked the South Sea Sword Demon with a strike that seemed to cleave the heavens and earth. The South Sea Sword Demon's previous weapon had been destroyed by the Xuanwu King, and he had now found a new weapon – a gleaming golden bronze hammer that appeared incredibly domineering.
"Taste the might of my Sky-Grasping Hammer!"
The South Sea Sword Demon roared, hurling the great hammer towards the sky. Instantly, countless streaks of purple lightning erupted from the hammer, shooting towards the Soul-Slaying Sword.
With a thunderous "boom," the immense sound caused the Guo family villa at the foot of Yan Mountain to collapse. Countless members of the Guo family were buried under the rubble, while Guo Xiaotian and Guo Chongtian were the first to rush out.
"This is truly a battle of gods! It's too powerful. We can't get too close, or we'll be finished if we're hit by the residual energy!"
Guo Xiaotian exclaimed, marveling as he looked at the two figures on the peak of Yan Mountain.
"Indeed, these two are the strongest of the current era. Their methods are beyond our comprehension. The power unleashed between them is enough to level the entire Yan Mountain!"
Guo Chongtian also said with immense shock.
As they spoke, the two continued their fight. A large section of the peak of Yan Mountain was instantly sheared off, a terrifying sight. The two showed no signs of stopping, their spiritual artifacts emanating incredibly powerful auras that instantly enveloped the entire Yan Mountain. Anyone who ventured into their aura would be instantly torn to shreds.
The South Sea Sword Demon pushed Bai Shumin's Ice Spirit Body to its extreme. With a single point of his finger, the entire Yan Mountain was covered in frost, freezing the Xuanwu King's weapon solid.
"What kind of technique is this, to be able to freeze a thousand miles?"
Witnessing the South Sea Sword Demon's technique, the Xuanwu King's eyelids twitched slightly. A fierce flame shot out from his hand, shattering the frozen expanse.
"However, these mere tricks are not enough in my eyes!"
"Wildfire!"
The Xuanwu King roared, and a torrent of flames erupted from his palm, engulfing the frost. In an instant, the frost was completely burned away, and Yan Mountain returned to its previous appearance.
"Your body actually contains a fire seed?"
"Hmph, then let's see if your fire seed is more potent or if my Ice Spirit Body is stronger!"
The South Sea Sword Demon said, unleashing countless ice spikes, resembling sharp swords, from his fingertips towards the Xuanwu King. The Xuanwu King, relying on his Blazing Flame Palm, incinerated all the incoming ice spikes. The power of the blazing flames completely consumed the ice spikes, rendering them useless.
"Since my Ice Spirit Body cannot harm you, then let's try the Sky-Grasping Hammer!"
The South Sea Sword Demon said, gripping the Sky-Grasping Hammer and smashing it towards the Xuanwu King.
The power of the Sky-Grasping Hammer was immense, as if a single strike could shatter the heavens and earth. It directly aimed for the Xuanwu King's head.
"Well met!"
The Xuanwu King actually put away his Heaven-Slaying Sword and met the South Sea Sword Demon's Sky-Grasping Hammer with his bare hands. The incredibly powerful Sky-Grasping Hammer, when struck against the Xuanwu King's hands, did not break them. This demonstrated how incredibly refined his hands were, capable of withstanding a spiritual artifact.
"How is this possible? How can your physical body be so powerful?"
The South Sea Sword Demon's eyes widened in disbelief. He had never imagined the Xuanwu King's physique could be so powerful. Even the Earth Immortals of the past did not possess such a formidable body; it was simply terrifying.
"Hmph, you cannot comprehend the extent of my physical prowess. Therefore, die!"
As the South Sea Sword Demon stood in shock, the Xuanwu King unleashed a punch towards him, sending the South Sea Sword Demon flying back over ten meters and crashing heavily onto the mountainside of Yan Mountain.
