After the Skyfall

Chapter 842 The Battle of the Mountain Lords
Looking at the northern wilderness city, Li Yi's eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia.

He originally intended to settle in this great city, but things changed. In order to save the merchant lord Xiu Xiang, he had to flee for his life and went to Shenmu City, because at that time, he was no match for Da Ze, the blood warrior of Beihuang City.

Now, revisiting this place, and seeing that things are different now, Li Yi naturally wants to settle old scores.

He did not conceal his aura, but instead came to the sky above the Northern Wilderness City and released his divine blood aura to his heart's content.

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky. Countless silver bolts of lightning appeared out of thin air, intertwining like dragons and snakes. They quickly covered the sky, making the originally bright sky dark.

"I am Da Ze, a divine blood warrior of the Northern Wilderness lineage. My name is Da Yi, and I have come to challenge you today." Li Yi shouted, his voice accompanied by thunder that filled every corner of the great city.

As these words spread, all the warriors in the entire Northern Wilderness City looked up at the sky in shock.

"A Divine Blood Warrior has actually come to challenge the Northern Wilderness lineage. This is something that happens only once every hundred years. Could it be that this Northern Wilderness City is about to change its master today?"

"What a powerful divine blood warrior! The power of that thunder is similar to the aura in the valley near Shoushan Village where the gods are buried." Some wise men with extraordinary experience recognized at a glance where the divine blood on Li Yi's body belonged.

“Da Yi? I know this person. He was once a distinguished guest of the Shang Lord Xiu Xiang. Because the Shang Lord Xiu Xiang had killed another Shang Lord Marquis, he was imprisoned by the warriors of the Northern Wilderness lineage. It was this Divine Blood Warrior named Da Yi who risked his life to rescue him, but he was also hunted down by the Northern Wilderness lineage. And the pursuer at that time was none other than the direct descendant of the Divine Blood lineage of the Northern Wilderness, Da Ze.”

"This is the revenge of the Blood Warriors."

“I have also heard of this matter. A famous wise man, Nanshanbo, once commented on this Da Yi, saying that he has the potential to become a god. Seeing him today, it is indeed true. With such an aura, I am afraid he already has the power of a hundred mountain lords.”

An old slave owner looked up at the sky with his cloudy eyes. He recognized Da Yi, who had previously bought alien warriors from him and inquired about the whereabouts of his companions.

Back then, the Great Yi was still very weak, but unexpectedly, it has grown to this extent in the blink of an eye.

The words of the wise are indeed true.

As long as this Da Yi does not perish halfway, he will surely become a god in the future. At that time, another famous family with divine blood will emerge on this ancient land. The people of this family will be born with lightning on their backs, and all the merchants in the world will sing the story of Da Yi.

At this moment, everyone in the Northern Wilderness City was eagerly anticipating what would happen next.

Will the Divine Blood Warriors of the Northern Wilderness lineage respond to this challenge from the Great Yi?
Less than a moment after Li Yi finished speaking.

next moment.

From the direction of the city lord's mansion in Northern Wilderness City, a blue light shot into the sky, like a vast ocean attempting to engulf the sea of ​​lightning in the heavens. At the same time, another powerful aura of a divine blood warrior was released and responded.

But soon, the blue sea was engulfed by endless silver lightning, unable to break through the thunderous sky.

Seeing this, experienced warriors and wise men all understood.

The divine blood of the Northern Wilderness lineage cannot compare to the divine blood carried by this Great Yi, because the ancient heavens and earth do not deceive people, and heaven clearly favors this Great Yi more.

"Da Yi!" A furious roar followed immediately.

next moment.

A powerful figure burst forth, tearing through the sky like an arrow, heading straight for Li Yi.

At this moment, Daze appeared before Li Yi fully armed, clad in crimson-gold heavy armor and wielding a crimson-gold greatsword. His breathing was heavy, his face solemn, and his eyes revealed anger.

As a blood warrior who once personally let Da Yi go, he naturally remembered this enemy.

I never expected that Da Yi's strength would improve so drastically; his mere aura was enough to make people's hearts tremble.

However, as a direct descendant of the divine bloodline of the Northern Wilderness Lord, he would fight any opponent who came to challenge him as a divine blood warrior, no matter what kind of opponent they were, because it was not just about personal victory or defeat, but about the glory of his ancestors.

As descendants of gods, none of the divine blood warriors believed that the blood of their ancestors they carried was weaker than that of their opponents.

Even if defeated, one must die like a warrior.

Therefore, responding to the challenge is inevitable.

“Da Ze, you have disappointed me greatly. Your strength of only being at the level of a Tenth Mountain Lord is no longer enough for me to challenge you.” Li Yi looked at the other party, appearing very disappointed, and couldn’t help but shake his head: “It seems that you, as a direct descendant of the divine bloodline of the Northern Wilderness, have fallen. Have the beauties and fine wine corrupted your mind and body? You are so weak that I don’t even have the thought of revenge.”

He has now broken through to the Three Flowers Realm, and his combat power far surpasses that of the Crimson Gold Mountain Lord at that time. The Crimson Gold Mountain Lord, who was defeated by Xuan Yuezi and Xiang Xiangzi together, was a level 30 Mountain Lord. Therefore, even if Li Yi does not have the combat power of a level 100 Mountain Lord, he still has the strength of a level 70 or 80 Mountain Lord. Of course, the exact level will only be known after the challenge.

However, in any case, a direct descendant of a Tenth Mountain Lord level divine bloodline was indeed no match for him.

To be so humiliated.

The Blood Warrior Daze blushed instantly, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it, because what Da Yi said was true. Just by observing the aura emanating from him, he knew that he was no match for him.

The reason they accepted the challenge was because the direct descendants of the divine bloodline of the Northern Wilderness carried too much on their shoulders.

Moreover, he couldn't escape when his former enemies came knocking.

“However, you should not be the only direct descendant of the divine bloodline in your Northern Wilderness lineage. Let your Northern Wilderness Lord accept the challenge,” Li Yi said.

“Taiyi, your current strength is indeed very powerful, but what qualifications do you, a wandering Divine Blood Warrior, have to start a battle at the Mountain Lord level?” Daze clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"In what capacity? I will challenge you, the Lord of the Crimson Gold Mountain, as the Lord of the Northern Wilderness, how about it?" Li Yi coldly shouted.

As soon as these words came out.

Daze's eyes narrowed, and his muscular body swayed slightly.

The Lord of Chijin Mountain?

Is this Da Yi already the master of Chijin Mountain?

He didn't question the veracity of Da Yi's words, because the Blood Warrior wouldn't lie about something like this.

"This is bad. It's no longer just a battle between Divine Blood Warriors. It has escalated to a battle at the Mountain Lord level. I didn't expect that this Da Yi is actually the Crimson Gold Mountain Lord. Does anyone know where Crimson Gold Mountain is?"

"Five hundred miles west of Shenmu City, there is a mountain called Chishan (Red Mountain) because it produces red gold. It is also called Chijin Mountain (Red Gold Mountain). I remember that the former master of Chijin Mountain was a blood warrior named Huohuo. Could it be that the Great Yi defeated him and replaced him? I'm really getting old. I didn't even manage to gather such important information. It seems I should go out and travel more."

A wise man sighed with emotion, but also felt deeply ashamed.

The wise are wise because they have traveled the world and know much that ordinary people do not. But the wise can also be confused because they are old and weak and no longer able to travel the world to acquire new knowledge.

The others in the city, upon hearing the wise man's explanation, immediately understood and became somewhat excited.

If the Great Yi, as the Lord of Crimson Gold Mountain, defeats the Lord of Northern Wilderness, then Northern Wilderness City will change hands, and the Great Yi will rightfully rule this great city.

The rules of the wild world are that simple and brutal.

Therefore, as the mountain lord, one must be constantly vigilant against challenges from outsiders. Only by winning can one continue to live on this ancient land; if one loses, one will have nothing, and even one's wife and daughters may become someone else's concubines.

"Lord of the Northern Wilderness, do you intend to evade the challenge of me, the Lord of Crimson Gold Mountain?" Li Yi shouted again, and thunder roared in the sky, as if a god was enraged.

Daze remained silent, feeling both angry and helpless, because he was not the Lord of the Northern Wilderness and could not take his place in a battle at the level of a Mountain Lord.

However, he also knew very well that the once incomparably powerful Lord of the Northern Wilderness had aged and was no longer at his peak, so his chances of winning against the Great Yi were not high.

Although I hate to admit it, the Northern Wilderness lineage has indeed declined.

However, such situations occur frequently on this land and are not unusual.

Li Yi's words indeed struck a nerve with the Lord of the Northern Wilderness.

Even in his old age and declining strength, a terrifying aura of divine blood still emanated from within the Northern Wilderness City.

A blue light forcefully tore through the sea of ​​lightning, illuminating the sky with a dazzling blue hue.

"I, the Lord of Crimson Gold Mountain, Da Yi, and I, the Lord of Northern Wilderness, Jing He, accept your challenge." A powerful voice echoed within Northern Wilderness City, and an old warrior with a white beard, standing three meters tall and possessing muscular build, stepped out in armor.

Although he was old, the aura of his divine blood still supported half of the sky above the Northern Wilderness City.
