Chapter 88: The Pride of This World

  Cough!

  A crisp sound came from the top, Sun Yan looked up and saw that at the top of the rock crevice above, curved cracks appeared, which was a sign that it was about to shatter at any time.

  "Grandma's bear, brother I can't hang under the monster's claws and instead be crushed to death by a landslide!"

  Without hesitation, Sun Yan's body was already rapidly circulating his yuan energy, and he flew out in a flash. If he had hesitated for even a moment, he would have been buried under the collapsing mountain peak.

  "What's going on?"

  Shot out of the rock crevice, Sun Yan didn't stay for a moment, and sped all the way down to the foot of the mountain.

  The current Sun Yan is already a third-level warrior, and the speed of his full-force sprint is not inferior to that of a fourth-level warrior. After a moment, he flew down to the foot of the mountain. Only then did he look around, investigating what had happened.

  In the sky, one after another aircraft flew by, among which there were not a few D-class Black Vulture fighter jets. However, these powerful aircraft at this moment fled like their lives depended on it, without making any stops, and quickly left the mountain range airspace.

  In the distance, the sound of breaking through the air kept coming, and many warriors were seen running away with their lives, as if there was a fierce beast chasing after them.

  "Could it be a mutated monster? It's said that among the heteromorphic beasts, there are occasional cases of mutation and evolution. The strongest monster in the White Prison Star is level 6, if a mutation or evolution were to occur and a level 7 monster were to appear, then it would indeed not be something that a low-level interstellar mercenary group could handle."

  Sun Yan muttered to himself, secretly speculating that the sixth and seventh levels of the monster were a watershed, just like the sixth and seventh levels of warriors, with an extremely large gap in strength.

  The formidable power of a seventh-level monster can no longer be dealt with by mere numbers, and what's even more terrifying is that the seventh-level monster possesses considerable intelligence, making its comprehensive combat strength even more frightening than that of an ordinary seventh-level warrior.

  Bai Yu Xing is a G-level ruin planet. If a seventh-level monster were to appear here, it would not be something that the low-level mercenaries here could handle.

  Just as he was pondering, a sharp and shrill whine suddenly came out, followed by a loud crash, and a brittle sound echoed from the distant mountainside. Immediately, a fierce gust of wind howled in.

  Sun Yan's eyes narrowed, his pupils involuntarily constricted, and with his current eyesight, he clearly saw a mountain peak over 2000 meters away. On the waist of the mountain, a fist-sized hole seemed to have appeared, and a sharp, transparent gust of wind spiralled out, as sharp as a sword, capable of piercing gold and stone.

  One misstep, a hurricane kick was executed. Sun Yan hastily dodged and quickly shifted 10 meters to the right, but his cheek still felt an unbearable stinging sensation.

  Delicious!

  A strand of black hair floated in the wind, and Sun Yan only felt a chill on his forehead. A piece of hair was cut off hard, neat and uniform, as if it had been cut off by a sharp blade.

  Just now standing place, on the ground there is a fist-sized small pit, pit shape spiral, deep about ten meters.

  "His power is released, spanning tens of thousands of miles in an instant, a 9th-level Grand Warrior!" Sun Yan's face turned pale with shock.

  In that small pit, a wisp of yuan force still lingered, emitting an extremely sharp aura that made one feel a chill of being strangled by a cold blade.

  Sun Yan's expression was shocked, his back chilled to the bone. This surge of yuan force was razor-sharp, and he had only been grazed by its residual waves, yet it was enough to make his hair stand on end. If he had dodged a moment later, he would have definitely been injured.

  Turning his head, Sun Yan narrowed his eyes, and the yuan force poured into his eyes, observing the mountain peaks in front of him. The scenery before his eyes became clearer and clearer, and larger and larger, only to see that at the waist of the mountain, a fist-sized hole was actually piercing through the entire mountain body, and he could see the scenery on the other side.

  "Hiss!"

  Sun Yan involuntarily took a breath of cool air, having heard since childhood that martial artists above the 9th level possessed all sorts of unimaginable abilities. However, those were merely hearsay, and in his heart, he always felt there was some exaggeration. But now, seeing it with his own eyes, Sun Yan finally understood that the rumors weren't exaggerated in the slightest.

  The previous attack was not aimed at himself, but it was clear that in the heat of battle, a random strike had pierced through a mountain peak. With a burst of energy, the power was released into the air, spanning tens of thousands of meters, still capable of piercing through metal and stone. The strength of a Great Warrior or above is truly terrifying.

  "No wonder these mercenaries fled faster than rabbits, if they weren't careful and got caught in the aftermath of battle, they'd easily become fish in a drained pond!"

  Standing still, Sun Yan did not retreat backward. Although he knew the current situation and choosing to leave immediately was the safest approach, but as soon as he thought of the battle taking place on the other side of the mountain range, he couldn't hold back his excitement.

  What is the battle of a martial artist above 9th dan like?

  Curiosity drove the young man relentlessly, and finally, Sun Yan stepped on the "Hurricane Step", constantly changing his trajectory as he sprinted towards the mountain peak in front of him.

  ……

  On the other side of the mountain range, on the mountain slope, three figures were engaged in a fierce battle.

  Only three people were seen, taking advantage of the mountain's momentum, with a single toe tap, they swept into mid-air, their original forces colliding with each other, the air was completely blasted, stirring up ring-shaped ripples, the surrounding peaks were affected, rocks flew everywhere, and the mountain wind surged, as if it would trigger a landslide at any moment.

  One of them, with both hands grasping a giant hammer, swung it and set the hammer ablaze with fierce flames, sparks splashing out, continuously pouring down onto the rocks, smoke curling up, leaving behind small holes like sieves.

  Another person, wearing two fist guards, the color of the fist guards was deep and mysterious, the two fists intersected and shot out, but a burst of azure frosty air sprayed out, icy fist prints broke through the air and rushed forward, weaving into a web of fists in mid-air.

  These two people, however, were joining forces against one person, a slender and elegant woman.

  The woman held a slender sword, its body transparent and narrow. Every time she stabbed out with the sword, a spiral of sword energy would shoot out horizontally, piercing through the hammer's shadow, breaking open the fist's net, forcing the two men to hastily dodge.

  A sword aura swept across the sky, **** ten thousand meters, condensed and scattered, with a single sword, it pierced through the mountain body, turning several mountain peaks into baskets. The nearby mountains had already collapsed, and the momentum was shocking to hear.

  At this time, Sun Yan had already turned over the mountain peak, raised his head to gaze at the distant battle in mid-air, and clicked his tongue endlessly: "Wow, the fight between a 9th-level warrior is so terrifying, shaking the earth. It's still two men ganging up on one woman, really shameless."

  Only when a martial artist reaches the 9th level of martial arts can they suspend themselves in mid-air for an extended period using only their physical body, and upon reaching the 10th level, they can fly short distances. The three people before him were fighting in mid-air, but still had to occasionally use the mountain to propel themselves upwards, clearly all being high-level martial artists of the 9th rank.

  However, Sun Yan also made it clear that one thing, the true combat power of a 9th-level warrior is actually unable to create a terrifying scene of three people fighting.

  The reason why the three warriors' attack power is so astonishing is that the weapons used by the three are not ordinary, that is, the Battle-Scarred Armor.

  Regarding the scarred armed, Sun Yan only knew of its existence after getting acquainted with Chen Wang. The title of a martial artist above the 10th level of martial boundary is engraved with scars, and the weapons cast from this are called scarred armed.

  Scarred armor, its craftsmanship is extremely complex. Once cast, it can evoke the true meaning of the martial arts mastered by the warrior, greatly increasing the user's combat power.

  Using the lowest standard of scarred armor, one must be a strong warrior at least at the 9th level of martial arts.

  The three people who are currently fighting obviously all possess a battle-scarred armor, unleashing the true intent of their martial arts from their weapons, which is why they were able to burst forth with such astonishing destructive power.

  "No wonder they say that only those with a cultivation level of 9th rank or higher are the backbone of society. With a 9th rank martial realm driving the War Scar Armor, this kind of combat power is fundamentally not something that can be matched by mere numbers alone. A 9th rank great warrior... when will I ever reach such a realm?"

  In the distance, Sun Yan took cover behind a rock, circulating his inner yuan to protect himself all over, not wanting to miss any detail of this battle.

  Watching a strong martial artist's battle is an extremely rare opportunity for the spectators, and it can often inspire new ideas, allowing them to improve their own abilities.

  Bang bang bang......

  The sound of explosions was endless, and there were no living creatures in the surrounding mountains. Those mercenaries had scattered one by one, while those monsters understood better than humans how to avoid danger, and they had escaped without a trace as soon as the battle began.

  Only Sun Yan, this young man who did not know what danger was, continued to watch the battle with relish.

  Just as Sun Yan was marveling at the scene, his face suddenly changed and he realized with a start that the three powerful beings had fallen from mid-air, landing on a rocky outcropping less than 2,000 meters away from where he was hiding.

  He hastily withdrew his head, Sun Yan tightly leaned against the pile of broken stones behind him, not daring to take a peek, while holding his breath and secretly cursing: "Three uncles and aunts, please don't come any closer, otherwise, I'll be in big trouble."

  At this time, a man's low voice came: "Miss Meng is indeed the first genius of the Mabel family in a thousand years. At the age of 18, she can fight evenly with our two ninth-level warriors and gain the upper hand. It's really admirable!"

  "No need for nonsense, I know you're trying to stall for time. It's pointless."

  Her voice was cold and icy, yet it had a mesmerizing magnetism that left Sun Yan unable to help but admit that this woman's voice was incredibly pleasant and moving.

  Right behind, another man's voice came out: "Miss Meng, you are talented and the entire Western Army Domain's young generation has no one who can match your achievements. At the age of 18, you have already reached the eighth level of martial arts, this speed is astonishing and shocking, second only to the Eastern Marshal Huang Yuan in his heyday. However, you are not the Eastern Marshal after all. You used a secret technique to forcefully break through to the ninth level of martial arts, which is an extreme burden on your body. If you don't relieve it as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will cause irreparable damage. We also dare not offend the Mabel family, as long as you leave now, we will definitely not make things difficult for you."

  "Oh? Afraid of offending the Mabel family?" The woman's voice rose faintly: "You've already offended me now."

  The conversation of the three people came clearly, Sun Yan hid behind a pile of broken stones, not daring to move at all. His heart was shocked by the identity of this woman.

  Western Continent, Miss Huan, Mabel Family... Anyone who is slightly informed about the news knows who it refers to.

  Mabel's family is a genius of the century, the first genius in the Western Military Domain, Domir Star, and one of the four greatest geniuses in the southern star systems of Odin Star Domain.

  One of the Four Great Fiery Yangs, Western Warrior Domain - Mabel!
