RETURN OF THE RULER

72. End of the forbidden forest

The second wave battle between the temple groups against the forbidden forest group had already met the end point, the temple party members won the fight. They could destroy the forbidden forest army within a few hours even though from their side there were still casualties.

However, the fight between their chief and the demon control chief and the three ancestors seemed to be won by the forbidden forest party, because the head of the temple cannot understand the thousands of arrows that are always released by desert gods or ancestors from the bow desert.

They only looked at their elders with a pushy gaze, as their elders one by one began to be severely injured. They looked at the desert god with a gaze that was difficult to decipher.

Hou Shen or known as the desert god of one of the most powerful earthbenders in the eastern region, Hou Shen was also very famous when his youth, because his brutality destroyed his enemy and even he could rule the region of the bow desert.

The bow desert is famous for being a desert god who can create thousands of arrows from sand and earth and rocks and even control five giant spears from the hardest rocks in the world around where he fought.

Even the defensive shield of the desert god was very difficult to break through as he also made a shield from the hardest rocks around him. and even he could create giant dragons from the stones to hold the solar chakra released by the temple. Hou Shen also flew sand into the air to outwit his opponent's vision.

So far the temple could not even scratch the clothes of the desert god and the other two ancestors, but they did not give up either. The fight between the temple chief and the three ancestors was so tense, probably because the temple chief always followed the group tournament in his youth in the jiang empire, so that the temple can also survive even though their strength is much weaker than the three ancestors.

Elsewhere the stealth controllers look messy even though Pen Xang and Pen Lin are much weaker than the stealth controllers, but their two sticks are not random sticks. The help of over ten elders and imperial generals jiang made them slowly able to urge She Lian

"Arrrrrgh.." cried She Lian thrown when hit by a spear from General Xang, who was a,

"Now.

The red stick split the ocean

White wand of god killer

Destroyer's spear

Black monster killer demon

The silver spear of the dragon slayer

One by one they let out their ultimate moves as She Lian was thrown and fell to the ground.

As She Lian flew into the air and wanted to stabilize her position several different shaped energies hit her body. A violent explosion instantly occurred in the air, She Lian's body shattered into pieces and turned into a blood mist after being hit by dozens of moves.

"Haha!"

With a disjointed breath the group of the temple chief laughed in satisfaction after being able to destroy the body of his opponent, within the temple group were also two seriously injured people namely general Shu and one protective cultivator of Xucang city.

The red staff and white staff belonging to the head of the justice scepter temple were actually legendary-level weapons of their ancestral heritage but had been upgraded by Yang Xuan into a celestial-level weapon making the power of the scepter a reality doubled.

As the group of Pen Xang and Pen Lin recuperated came the sound of shouts from the other temple group's fight.

"Arrrrrgh.." shouted Xuan Li in pain as a giant spear slammed into his body. Xuan Li was thrown far away and hit the hill on his left side, and his consciousness instantly disappeared and he sank into the hill about three meters away.

"No way, no way" cried the desert god stammering after he saw Xuan Li's body being flung away.

All along, no one had survived when hit by his spear, should Xuan Li's body have been destroyed when it collided with the spear. The desert god still did not believe that and recalled the moment his spear struck Xuan Li's body and he noticed there was an oddity." Why did his spear emit sparks when it collided with Xuan Li's body." he muttered as he watched the entire forbidden forest.

"The sword should have been destroyed and not let out sparks" he continued.

The god of the desert immediately looked back around him and only realized that She Lian was dead, but he still could not believe that the one who blocked his attack was the other chief of the temple.

When releasing his giant spear the temple group was already bound by the chaos wind formation that was a giant black chain seal except for Xuan Li who managed to dodge the giant black chain. that was why he blocked the attack with his sword as a shield.

While busy inspecting the surroundings, the three ancestors were shocked by a sun ring formation that covered his opposing group, even the temple was frightened by the incident, not long after, a voice appeared in the air.

"For the temple group to remain still in place and do not move and focus on recuperating" the voice said.

The temple group only nodded their heads without daring to refute as they did not know who set up the protection formation yet.

"Welcome inside the Sun Ring Protection formation." Yang Xuan shouted to his group but he was not yet seen.

Even his group repeatedly circulated their gazes to the surroundings and did not know who set up the protection formation yet, but after seeing the solar chakra floating in the air they seemed to have guessed who set up the protective formation, the three ancestors were unaware that Xuan Li had disappeared from his place.

The sun ring protection formation is supported by the Solar chakra heirloom that always hovers in the air outside the transparent formation.

While escorting the group of temple leaders into the sun ring protection formation and giving healing pills. Yang Xuan circulated his gaze throughout the entire forbidden forest and his eyes turned blurry and he even felt guilty when he saw thousands of his group die.

"Where are Cao Ya and Cao Ming." asked Yang Xuan suddenly.

"They are dead Young Master, even the bodies of the two elders are tormented and skinned by them" Pen Xang replied as he lowered his head.

While enduring the turmoil within his body," only Cao Lim would be left for the next generation of the Cao clan if he could survive." Inner Yang Xuan.

"Where are the fire wolves and the one-horned rhinoceros." asked Yang Xuan once more.

"The two demons have also been killed Young Master and the tiger demon is also seriously injured" replied the head of the dragon hill temple.

Instantly Yang Xuan's anger peaked upon realizing it turned out that the victim was far greater than he expected. After he finished making the seal to support the sun ring formation, he immediately summoned several elders to guard the center of the formation so that he could use solar chakra. Yang Xuan also connected the center point of the formation as the support of the protection formation to suck the power of heaven and earth or inject the Qi energy element if needed.

Yang Xuan directly flew towards the three ancestors who were about five hundred meters away from the sun ring formation.

"Shen Fu, today is the day of your death because you have failed to educate your grandson. I've never seen your famous grandson either. Is he alive or is he dead.... ? Even the Cao clan has turned to dust with hundreds of help, but I do not see it. Do you know where he is.... ? Because I'd love to skin him." Yang Xuan said with pleasantries.

"Fuck! Who do you think you are, you only dream of killing my descendants." shouted Shen Fu with overflowing anger.

"The two of you for meddling in this war I assure you your descendants will perish." while pointing to the desert god and the ancestor of the mysterious forest.

"Haha! Boy, we are not afraid of you, just prove your nonsense." cried the mysterious forest ancestor.

"I don't know why humans like you are so greedy that you become demon slaves you don't care,"

"Hey boy, it's none of your business, no need to lecture the old man." replied the desert god with a cynical look.

Kiyak

Suddenly a shrill voice filled the air, the fire eagle was so happy that he was also in need to fight the umpteenth time, even Yang Xuan provided a rare resource for the fire eagle.

"You better not fight, your job is to protect them" Yang Xuan told the fire eagle.

Kiyak

While flying and towards the temple troupe, the fire eagle according to what his master said.

"I make sure you three become the fire eagle's food." Yang Xuan said with a laugh.

"A brash one." cried Shen Fu as he let out his aura. The three of them directly surrounded Yang Xuan while taking out their respective weapons, and the desert god directly shot an arrow towards Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan also directly activated his fire element and unleashed his hot aura and spiritual aura at full power to suppress his opponent while throwing solar chakra to destroy the arrow and he also injected a hint of light element.

As Yang Xuan's aura with several folds of strength fell on the physical bodies of the three ancestors, the three of them were barely able to move. Yet the next second the three of them with little effort could dodge Yang Xuan's attack which was arguably a dangerous attack.

The three of them became alert after sensing the spiritual aura oppressing them and even their hands trembled after their weapons clashed with the chakra. They saw Yang Xuan's weapons always circling in the air at high speed, they frowned because the three of them had never seen such a weapon.

"Brother, don't underestimate the boy, however, with just that single strike we've taken a few steps back, almost to injure us, we'd better unleash our full strength." whispered the mysterious forest ancestor.

"What's wrong with you guys... ? Just a small strike just seems like you guys are already scared to death." yang Xuan sneered with a smile.

However, it was different from the ancestors of the Cao clan and the desert gods. They even still looked calm and unlike the mysterious forest ancestors, because where there was land and wind that was the strength of the two ancestors.

The skills possessed by the desert god are the earth element, where there is sand, earth and stone where the power is, as well as the ancestors of the Cao clan where there is wind where the power is. As a wind element user the ancestors of the Cao clan could make dozens of different types of weapons from the wind.
