C409 Sealing the Mountain!(1)

Outside the gates of the Profound Heaven Sect, the battle raged on. It was less a fight and more a brutal onslaught by two experts at the Martial King level. Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu were covered in blood, struggling desperately to hold their ground.

Under the protection of the Fallen Sun Tower, their strength was amplified, yet they were still far from reaching the true Martial King Stage. The main issue was their inability to fly, leaving them on the defensive. Initially, they managed to avoid injury, but as the relentless attacks from the two Martial Kings accumulated, they began to falter.

Even for experts at the Martial King level, constantly defending against full-force attacks from others of the same caliber was unsustainable, especially since they hadn't reached that level themselves. Time ticked by, and their defenses were on the brink of collapse. No one could guarantee they'd withstand the next wave.

"Stop!" A voice, filled with anger, echoed from within the Profound Heaven Sect. Woo Zhengyang came rushing in, heartbroken at the sight of Uncle Fu and Nie Fengyu barely holding on through sheer willpower.

"Woo Zhengyang is here!"

"So, he didn't leave after all. But why did he only show up now? Could it be he's out of strength?"

As the figure with the long sword appeared, murmurs spread among the crowd.

"Are you Woo Zhengyang?" Two experts at the Martial King level paused, and the man spoke.

As he spoke, his eyes were already fixed on the No Life Sword behind Woo Zhengyang.

"That's me!" Woo Zhengyang responded without stopping, rushing to Uncle Fu and Nie Fengyu. He poured the spirit pills he had prepared into their mouths.

"Kid, if you don't show up soon, we're done for..." Nie Fengyu, barely able to hold his spear with his trembling hand, still managed to joke.

"You finally show yourself. I bet whatever you're relying on can't be used again so soon. Are you going to watch them die, or come with us?" This time, it was the woman speaking.

Like Liao Qinghua, they wanted the No Life Sword but were even more intrigued by Woo Zhengyang. The day Woo Zhengyang defeated Liao Qinghua with one strike, the No Life Sword played a significant role, but it wasn't the core. Many believed the power of the Ice Crystal Fire Hall surpassed that of the No Life Sword. Some speculated that Woo Zhengyang's secrets were more valuable than both the Ice Crystal Fire Hall and the No Life Sword, making them eager to find out more.

"You're right. The Ice Crystal Fire Hall can't be used right now, or you two would be running for your lives like Liao Qinghua..." Woo Zhengyang chuckled, signaling Uncle Fu and Nie Fengyu to return to the Heavenly Martial Sect.

"From the moment I heard your name, arrogance and bravado have been inseparable from it. I'm surprised. Since your tricks are all used up, how can you still be so cocky?" The male expert at the Martial King level sneered.

"Walk the straight path, and heaven will not let you down! I've earned my reputation for being wild. As a Martial Dao cultivator, how can I establish my path without a bit of audacity? And as for being arrogant, you come to the gates of the Profound Heaven Sect and call me arrogant?"

"Quite the silver tongue you have, but words are pointless now. Will you fight or surrender?" the man demanded.

"Neither fight nor surrender. Liao Qinghua, a Martial King at the late Essence Shaking Stage, lost an arm and his weapon to me. You, at mid and early Essence Shaking Stages, think you can act superior in my presence?" Woo Zhengyang had already assessed their skills from the fight. Individually, they were no match for Liao Qinghua. Though younger and with potential to surpass him one day, Zhengyang wasn't about to voice that. Instead, he sneered.

"Using a magic weapon..."

The man began to argue, but Woo Zhengyang cut him off, "Don't start with excuses about using a magic weapon. It's pathetic and laughable. Magic weapons are meant to be used, not kept at home like trophies."

"Besides, whether I'm arrogant or bold, I've earned the right to be. At my age, without a magic weapon, could you stand against me? When I reach your age, will you still be my match?"

"You..." Another Martial King expert, after Liao Qinghua, was nearly driven to fury by Woo Zhengyang's words.

Woo Zhengyang ignored him and loudly declared, "From today onward, we are closing off the Profound Heaven Sect. When our gates open again, it will be as the Profound Heaven Gate! And those who dared to invade us will meet their end!"

His words were bold and arrogant, directly proclaiming that the Profound Heaven Sect would inevitably become the Profound Heaven Gate. Yet, no one could argue against him. As Woo Zhengyang had previously stated, he had every reason to be confident, even the most esteemed experts couldn't compare.

"You think you can just close off the mountain like that? If you don't give us an explanation today, you won't be able to seal it," the furious man gritted his teeth and said.

"When I say it's closed, it's closed. From this moment on, anyone who dares to enter our gates will die!" Woo Zhengyang finished speaking and turned to walk toward the mountain gate.

"Let's see who dies!" the man sneered, swinging his sword down.
