Legend of Zixia

Chapter 264 Chaos at the Door
Duan De was the best at grasping the key points. He squinted and caught sight of the Emperor's son's undisguised admiration for Zixia. He immediately perked up, elbowed Ye Fan hard, and gave him a hard bump.
"Oh! Well done—" he drawled, a wicked grin spreading across his face, "You lackey's hooked up with a swan! Look at that birdbrain's eyes! Tsk tsk tsk, he's practically glued to her! Can you really stand for this?"

Before Ye Fan could say anything

"What do you mean! The lackey has hooked up with a swan!" The black dog was furious upon hearing this and bit Duan De's arm.

"Agh—!! Let go, you dead dog! Are you crazy?!" Duan De screamed repeatedly, struggling desperately.

This also attracted the attention of the others.
The Emperor's son immediately fixed his gaze on Ye Fan and his group, his eyes revealing murderous intent. An old man behind him even let out a cold snort.

"You, the Holy Body of the Human Race, have come too. You're doomed this time," the old man sneered, his killing intent boundless.

Suddenly, a long howl came from afar, rapidly approaching, but a golden holy light arrived before the sound, carrying a surging blood energy, and swung down a black gold club.

"That's right, let's see where you go this time!" A golden figure rushed over, shouting loudly.

"How dare you!" An old servant behind the Emperor stepped forward to block the way and meet the blow with the large club.

"puff"

Without any suspense, the black gold cudgel swung down and smashed the incredibly powerful old servant into a pulp, instantly shattering him.

This was actually a golden holy ape, its entire body dazzling and radiant, filled with blood-red energy, roaring towards the sky, incomparably powerful.

He is the son of the Fighting Saint Emperor, whom Zixia had met once.

Everyone else was shocked. The son of the Fighting Saint Emperor had arrived. He was of noble status and had come for the Heavenly Emperor's son. No one could compare to him.

At this moment, his eyes shone brightly, and his hair gleamed as if cast in gold, making him appear as if a god had descended to earth.

The black club was bleeding, and one of the Emperor's guardians was beaten into a pile of mud, with bones and blood splattering everywhere.

The appearance of the Holy Prince and his confrontation with the Heavenly Prince caused a sensation and chaos. The news spread quickly, and many people rushed to the scene.

"What do you mean?" The Heavenly Emperor's son's black hair flew wildly. He was surrounded by nine five-colored divine halos, protecting him in the center, which symbolized the supreme ruler.

The monkey was incredibly domineering, its body surging with golden holy light. Holding a black gold staff, it pointed at the front and arrogantly said, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to kill you!" People all around were greatly surprised. The lineage of the Fighting Holy Ape had come to pass. This was truly an unexpected confrontation.

The Holy Prince versus the Heavenly Prince is a clash of equals!

However, Zixia did not linger. With the monkeys present, Ye Fan and his group could rest easy. Even if a saint intervened, they still had the Devouring Demon Jar!

Her gaze shifted to the Ji family group that came out from inside; many of them were familiar faces.

Sister Zixia!

A clear, crisp voice broke through the noise, and Ji Ziyue, like a nimble little deer, darted through the crowd, her hair flying, her smile as bright as a flower. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of Zixia, hugging her arm tightly and shaking it repeatedly: "I've finally seen you again! I've missed you every day since we parted on Earth!"

But in that brief moment of tenderness, her gaze suddenly faltered, landing deep within the Ji family crowd—

A man stood quietly, inconspicuous.

He was of medium height, with ordinary looks and simple clothes. Standing among a group of dazzling Ji family members, he was like a grain of sand mixed among gold and jade, completely unremarkable. He had no divine aura, no outward display of power, and even his eyes were calm to the point of being wooden.

But it was this very "ordinariness" that gave Zixia a jolt.

As a primordial Dao embryo, her senses were extremely acute, and she had already noticed—

This person appeared ordinary, yet a very subtle fluctuation emanated from within him, deeply hidden and unseen, as if even space and time were being quietly concealed by it. Even more strangely, when her divine sense swept over him, it was as if she had glided through a void, and only through the use of general numerical secrets could she deduce his cultivation level as a Dao-Slaying King. Just then, the man seemed to sense something, slowly raising his head and looking at Zixia.

Their eyes met, and they remained silent.

He simply nodded slightly, his movements extremely subtle, yet carrying an indescribable tacit understanding, as if he had already recognized who she was and understood what she had seen.

In that instant, the world changed drastically—

"Boom!!!"

A deafening roar shattered the sky, like the beating of a divine drum, shaking the mountains and scattering the birds in fright!

With a single swing of his staff, the dark iron rod tore through the void, smashing a guard beside the Heavenly Emperor into a bloody mist! Not even a trace of his body remained, and his very soul couldn't escape.

"Holy Prince, so what if you sever your Dao? Do you really think I can't do anything to you?" The Heavenly Prince's eyes suddenly turned cold, his killing intent as cold as frost. The nine divine rings behind his head suddenly erupted, transforming into five-colored light wheels that surrounded his body. Each ring was engraved with ancient imperial patterns, releasing a heart-palpitating wave that seemed capable of suppressing all the stars in the heavens.

The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

Ye Fan's eyes flickered slightly, Duan De rubbed his fists together, Black Emperor grinned coldly, and the dragon horse neighed excitedly—

A showdown that will shake the world is about to unfold outside the Jade Pool!

"Who dares to cause such a disturbance here and disregard the rules of this grand event!"

A furious roar came from the depths of Yaochi, followed by several terrifying figures that broke through the air and descended on the edge of the battlefield with overwhelming pressure.

A mountain lord from the Seventeen Mountains of Blood Phoenix and a cave lord from the Thirteen Caves of Fire Kirin all arrived, representing the royal family. When they saw that it was a monkey shouting for battle, they all felt a jolt in their hearts.

This is no pushover; the monkey's current identity is too sensitive, and everyone has to be wary of him.

"I haven't even stepped into the Jade Pool yet, so I haven't violated the rules of the tournament. Today, I want to kill the offspring of the Undying Emperor here!" The monkey held a black club, exuding murderous intent and boundless domineering aura.

The monkey exuded murderous intent and domineering aura, pointing its heavy black iron rod forward as if it were about to crush a vast land!
A being with nine beautiful female heads but a phoenix-like body spoke, saying, "The grand gathering of all races is about to begin. All killing is now prohibited. Peace is of utmost importance."

However, the monkey's big club had already been swung out, cleaving forward and causing sand and stones to fly everywhere. Even the nearby low hills seemed about to rise from the ground and collapse.

He had already made his move to kill the Emperor's son, displaying immense power and domineering aura, and completely disregarded any advice.

Seeing that the human race was not involved and that no one had entered the sacred land, the people of Yaochi decided to observe the situation quietly.

The mountain lords of the Seventeen Blood Phoenix Mountains and the cave lords of the Thirteen Fire Kirin Caves are all transcendent beings. The great clans that have produced ancient emperors have an unparalleled and lofty status, and other clans must show them respect.

Who would dare disrespect them? However, the two in front of them were the Crown Prince and the Holy Prince, both with astonishing backgrounds, which put them in a difficult position.

At this point, neither side listened to the advice, and the fighting did not stop there. Instead, they were about to engage in a life-or-death struggle, which made their hearts pound. If it were an ordinary person who did not listen to advice, they would have already killed them.

"Both princes, please calm down. Whatever your grievances may be, you can discuss them in detail at Yaochi. There is no need to start a fight here," said an ancient being who was quite old.

Now, even the royal families of Shencan Ridge and Primitive Lake are reluctant to get involved in the conflict between the two princes, because neither of them is a simple person.

Needless to say, the identity of the Heavenly Emperor's son is that of the only bloodline of the gods, and all races must show him some respect. Moreover, many of the guardians of the nine dragon veins outside the Ancient Emperor Mountain have survived and were not destroyed by Wushi. Now, he has an extremely considerable force behind him.

As for the monkey, he is no pushover either, especially recently. He is feared and people dare not provoke or offend him. The Victorious Fighting Buddha has just manifested in the world. He is the younger brother of the Holy Emperor of Fighting!
