Chapter 2514 - 2514: Ye Qing Is Alive

"Snap," a rock fell from the mountain wall with a soft sound.

Everyone looked up, and from a hole in the mountain wall, a hand slowly extended.

"This..." Helian Tiehua was startled for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "It's... it's Ye Qing! It's Ye Qing; he's not dead! Ye Qing's not dead!"

Upon hearing this, everyone on the mountain cheered excitedly. Ye Qing had just been struck into the mountain wall by Wanyan Hongfeng, and everyone thought Ye Qing was surely dead. Who would have thought Ye Qing would climb out?

That hand grabbed the edge of the hole and slowly exerted force, as a person crawled out from the hole. Although the person was covered in dust, everyone instantly recognized him as Ye Qing!

Indeed, Ye Qing wasn't dead! Moreover, he climbed out! Judging by his appearance, he didn't seem injured at all!

The crowd on the mountain was in an uproar. Ye Qing's survival rekindled hope in everyone's hearts.

Of course, more people were shocked, unable to comprehend how Ye Qing survived under such circumstances. After all, the force that hit him was from Form Transformation, powerful enough to instantly kill a Peak Master. Yet Ye Qing not only survived but appeared unhurt; it was truly unexpected!

However, those familiar with Ye Qing's situation had a slight understanding. It seemed multiple forces within Ye Qing saved him; otherwise, Ye Qing would have died long ago.

Helian Tiehua rushed to the mountain wall and helped Ye Qing down. Ye Qing climbed out, still holding the Dragon-breaking Knife, with no damage aside from being covered in dust, leaving everyone utterly amazed.

Down on the mountain, Wanyan Hongfeng saw Ye Qing emerge alive and was somewhat shocked. He knew the power of his strike intimately and thought he could easily kill Ye Qing. Who would have thought Ye Qing would survive? What was going on?

The transformation of Fat Jiao had already stunned Wanyan Hongfeng to the extreme, and Ye Qing's survival only added to his bad day. Unable to kill Fat Jiao or Ye Qing, what had he accomplished on this trip?

"How am I supposed to kill this Jiao?" Wanyan Hongfeng wondered aloud. Ye Qing's situation could be set aside for the moment. Although he didn't understand why Ye Qing survived, Ye Qing had no meridians, posing no threat to him. The real trouble was Fat Jiao; once Fat Jiao successfully transformed into a dragon, Wanyan Hongfeng wouldn't be its match!

"If you want to kill it, you'll need to elevate your realm beyond Unity of Heaven and Man!" the Five-Winged God paused, then said, "Your current strength, according to our Divine Clan's standards, is at the level of a Single-Winged God. If you can reach the strength of a Two-Winged God, you could easily kill this Jiao. But the premise is that it hasn't yet transformed into a dragon. Once it succeeds, even with Dual-Winged God's power, you might not be able to kill it!"

"Aren't you just stating the obvious?" Wanyan Hongfeng retorted angrily, "If I had Dual-Winged God's strength, why would I worry about it? Why would I need to kill it? I could simply tame it and make it the Yan Family's Guardian Beast?"

"Of course, there is another way." The Five-Winged God paused, then said, "If you can double your power in a short time, I can use our Divine Clan Secret Technique to temporarily gather your strength, forcefully elevating it to the level of a Two-Winged God, enabling you to kill this Jiao!"

"Double my power in a short time?" Wanyan Hongfeng frowned immediately. His power was already exceptionally strong; doubling it in a short time was basically impossible!

"If you can't do it, then I can't help you," said the Five-Winged God. "Achieving a higher realm is extremely difficult. If you can't do it, I advise you to flee quickly; I don't want this Jiao to destroy this body!"

Wanyan Hongfeng pondered for a moment, then suddenly took a deep breath and said sternly, "Who says I can't?"

"Oh?" The Five-Winged God let out a surprised gasp, clearly shocked by Wanyan Hongfeng's words.

Ignoring the Five-Winged God, Wanyan Hongfeng swiftly turned and flew towards outside Mount Wendao.

Earlier, Wanyan Hongfeng had absorbed the blood of several Wanyan Family members, causing fear among them. They were quietly escaping when Wanyan Hongfeng suddenly chased them, startling them as they wondered if he intended to deal with them. They immediately stopped, too scared to continue running.

But Wanyan Hongfeng didn't even glance at them. He knew his recent actions had lost the Wanyan Family's trust. His only option now was to kill Fat Jiao, kill Ye Qing, reclaim the Sun Shooting Bow, and control the Sword Saint Sect, achieving timeless glory for the Yan Family. This way, whatever wrongs he'd committed would be justified. Thus, he ignored the Wanyan Family and focused on winning this battle. Losing it would render everything he said useless!

Wanyan Hongfeng darted swiftly; as a Unity of Heaven and Man master, he could travel through the air, crossing distant mountains within minutes to reach a plateau behind them. There, a helicopter was parked—the same one he'd come in earlier.

Near the helicopter, several Wanyan Family members were waiting. Seeing Wanyan Hongfeng descend, they rushed to him, eager to ask about the battle. However, Wanyan Hongfeng didn't give them a chance to speak. He dashed into the helicopter, retrieved a box, then flew back towards Mount Wendao.

The people by the helicopter exchanged puzzled glances, bewildered by Wanyan Hongfeng's urgency. Since they arrived, they've been hiding nearby, completely oblivious to the situation at Mount Wendao or Fat Jiao's imminent dragon transformation.

Carrying the box, Wanyan Hongfeng rushed back to Mount Wendao, opened the box, and took out a bone stick. The bone stick emitted white light, enveloped in an indescribable aura. As soon as it was removed from the box, the white light shone on the surrounding trees. Curiously, under the white light's exposure, the withered trees slowly returned to normal, even sprouting green leaves, growing visibly.

"Is this... Heavenly Cluster Clouds?" The Five-Winged God's voice filled with astonishment, even a hint of excitement.

"That's right!" Wanyan Hongfeng took a deep breath, spoke solemnly, "This is the Heavenly Cluster Clouds that could end your life!"

The Five-Winged God ignored Wanyan Hongfeng's latter words, remained silent for a while, then said, "You want to use Heavenly Cluster Clouds to enhance your power? That's a wise choice. Seems you definitely won't have any issues killing that Jiao this time!"

Wanyan Hongfeng indeed intended to use Heavenly Cluster Clouds to briefly strengthen his power. This Heavenly Cluster Clouds is a treasure of the Yan Family. Its power is quite peculiar, allowing Yan Family members to draw strength from it to replenish their own. For instance, the Corpse Ghost Dragon had significantly depleted its strength, requiring at least ten to twenty years to fully restore. Even through absorbing others' power, it would need at least hundreds of Peak Master's energy to fully recover.

However, the Yan Family used the Heavenly Cluster Clouds to restore the Corpse Ghost Dragon's power entirely within a month. The Immortal Lord also drew power from the Heavenly Cluster Clouds, allowing rapid full recovery. The Heavenly Cluster Clouds is the foundation of the Yan Family's growth. Its increasing influence is inseparably linked to this treasure.

The Heavenly Cluster Clouds, as the Yan Family's critical treasure, is usually carried by the Family Head. Wanyan Hongfeng brought it to Mount Wendao, prepared for emergencies. Surprisingly, it was necessary this time. To double his power quickly, he needed the Heavenly Cluster Clouds, drawing its power was the only way to achieve rapid enhancement!

Taking a deep breath, Wanyan Hongfeng placed both hands on the Heavenly Cluster Clouds, beginning to absorb its power. As his hands pressed down, the Heavenly Cluster Clouds radiated brightly, its white light visibly coursing into Wanyan Hongfeng's hands. His skin turned reddish as power surged into his body, accelerating his blood circulation along with the energy influx.

Doubling one's strength sounds simple, but in reality, executing it is anything but easy. Human meridians are limited, and doubling strength requires careful consideration of whether the meridians can withstand such great power.

Fortunately, Wanyan Hongfeng practiced Demonic Sect Power, which inherently fluctuates with emotions. Thus, his meridians are more resilient. Doubling his strength was manageable.

Standing atop the mountain, absorbing Heavenly Cluster Clouds' power, Wanyan Hongfeng observed Fat Jiao below. Fat Jiao remained on the ground, still trembling. Though it was undergoing dragon transformation, the process wasn't easy. Fat Jiao's ability to withstand this trial was uncertain. Still, Wanyan Hongfeng couldn't risk it; once Fat Jiao successfully transformed, he'd be doomed. Regardless of how unlikely Fat Jiao's dragon transformation was, he must act swiftly to eliminate all probabilities!
