The Against Heaven
Chapter 18: The Four Protectors of the Moving Sect



It was only natural that Yu He could not see through an object like the Serpent Punishing Stick. Since ancient times, the number of people who have seen it with their own eyes has been few. Without his knowledge from crossing the ominous land, he would also not know the secrets and magical properties of the Serpent Punishing Wand.


If one could not discern its characteristics, then it would only be a wooden stick in their eyes.


“I'll kill you!” Although his body was tattered with injuries, his Silver Eagle Physique activated automatically. Under Xu Hui's ribs, two sharp claws came out and struck Li Han Tian's heart.


Xu Hui had the Silver Eagle Physique because his father was a Silver Eagle who turned into a human due to having perfect cultivation. A pair of claws were always hiding within his body if he needed to suddenly shock his enemy.


“Bang!” The wooden stick easily stopped the silver eagle claw, forcing it back into Xu Hui's body.


Li Han Tian coldly stated: “You seek your own death!”


“Whoosh.” The two blades immediately pierced through Xu Hui's shoulder and pinned him to the ground, immobilizing his body.


“Do you think killing me is that easy? Today, I will beat you mercilessly.” Li Han Tian continued to punch Xu Hui with a wooden stick. He was deceived by the events that had just happened.


At this moment, Protector Hua could no longer continue to watch. He jumped onto the fighting stage and shouted: “That's enough!”


Li Han Tian glanced at him and said: “Now how? If the kid can't win, does this old man want to join as well?”


“Young people, don't be too impulsive!” His eyes contained anger and hatred as he solemnly said: “Let him go, or I alone will kill you today.”


“I will save him, but..” After it is done, Li Han Tian sliced the two swords on Xu Hui's body, cutting them into pieces. The sword that stuck onto the floor created a rain of blood and sparks.


“Huier! You little devil, accept your death! ” Protector Hua lost control and his blood strength pierced through the sky. A magic sword, towering twenty thousand meters, flew towards Li Han Tian.


Protector Mo couldn't react in time, his mind filled with panic.


“Bang!” The moment the sword that pierced through the sky appeared, a gigantic foot from the sky suddenly stomped down with unstoppable force. Nothing can stop this blow. Not Named Heroes, not Royal Nobles, not even Enlightened Beings or Heavenly Kings would be unable to do so. All living beings were merely ants in the face of this leg strength.


“No!” Protector Hua only managed to let out a miserable scream. His body, under the giant feet, became meat paste, he was definitely dead.


Everyone was shocked because the leg did not belong to Li Han Tian, it was from one of the four gigantic statues located at the four corners of this battle stage. It was unbelievable that a Royal Noble like Protector Hua was killed in one move.


“You can't...” Everything happened too fast. Great Protector Yu He had ignited his blood power and threw it towards the foot to save Protector Hua.


However, the foot that stepped down did not suffer any damage and instead did another stomp.


“Bang!” Yu He was blown straight into the main mountain. His blood did not stop flowing.


“Do not be rash!” A thunderous shout roared in the sky, as if it encompassed all the mysterious truths of heaven and earth. The heavenly aura illuminated the sky. A person suddenly appeared in the distance, hovering in the air. Behind his head was a heavenly dazzling aura that could burn the world.


All the disciples of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect shouted in bewilderment: “First Elder!” The first elder raised his palm and immediately flipped it towards the statue. The palm technique that carried this peerless power flew towards the statue.


“Bang!” Another deafening sound burst into the air. This time, the statue used its hands to deal a palm blow. This annihilated the technique, the blood of the first elder painted the color of the sky. Even someone as formidable as him could not handle a single strike from the statue.


Everyone is at a loss for words. The statues on the battle stage suddenly moved, killing Protector Hua, kicking Yu He, and using one punch to defeat the first elder. After that, the statue remained silent like nothing had happened.


Li Han Tian, in the middle of the arena casually opened his mouth: “As I said, if the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect does not follow the rules, I will not hesitate to destroy your sect.”


“Hmmmph ..” The first elder, despite being injured, had his blood strength still strong. He immediately flew into the sky, wanting to use all his strength against those statues. He was afraid in his heart because he did not know why their own statues would rebel against the sect.


A commanding voice filled with nobles sounded from the deepest part of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect.


“Master Sect!”


Hearing this voice, everyone from the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect knew who it belonged to. This was the sect master, Demon King Lun Ri, the leader of an entire generation of geniuses in the Great Middle Region.


The first elder immediately stopped, he continued to stare at the four statues while pondering many questions.


All the disciples were also shocked, they had never heard anyone talk about a sect that had a Heavenly Guard, let alone a Heavenly Guard that could harm their own sect.


“Older, Protector Yu He, please invite Young Master Li to the sky room to speak.”


After hearing the invitation, Li Han Tian grinned and replied: “Finally someone who can see with their eyes. Little talk no harm.”


Great Protector Yu He quickly came over to Li Han Tian and respectfully gestured him towards the sky space. The more he looked at Li Han Tian, the more scared he became. This thirteen-year-old is too scary.


****************


The sky chamber was an important location in the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect. All the major decisions were discussed and made there, and only the elders had the qualifications to enter.


Of course, Protector Mo and Nan Huairen could not enter. Since the sky space was located in the deepest part of the sect and Li Han Tian could not fly, a great Royal Noble like Yu He had to bend down to fly it on his back.


Right now, all the elders were present in the room. Heavenly auras came from all over their bodies and their Life Wheels soared up and down. A pattern of mysterious laws that resembled the creation of a new world crossed their bodies. They had all reached the level of Enlightenment and were definitely not Royal Nobles.


One Royal Noble could destroy the entire Heaven Sect, so one could imagine how powerful the Enlightened Being was. The hidden strength of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect was truly shocking when seen, no wonder they were the rulers of the Old Cow Country.


Despite all this, Li Han Tian was not surprised in the slightest and sat down gracefully in the sky space.


“Since ancient times, no one has ever connected with our Heavenly Guardians.”


The voice of the Demon King appeared, but no one could see it.


Li Han Tian shook his head and said: “I don't like to talk to people who hide their faces behind veils.”


The elders were not happy with his words. Demon King Lun Ri was a terrible man, and all the elders here were very respectful and afraid of him. However, this Li Han Tian did not care about his words towards the King at all.


Demon King Lun Ri patiently explained: “It's not that I don't want to see Young Master Li. Unfortunately, I am still in the midst of closed cultivation, so I am unable to meet young Master Li personally. ”


Li Han Tian nodded his head and smiled: “Alright, I won't make things difficult for you, at least I'm a very reasonable person. ”


Demon King Lun Ri politely asked: “I want to hear how you can connect with our Heavenly Guardians.”


All the elders were surprised as well. They never knew that their sect had a Heavenly Guard.


At this moment, Demon King Lun Ri began to explain: “The Nine Sect of the Heavenly Gate has four Heavenly Guards who are four statues at the battle stage. They were invited by the patriarch to protect our sect. Not only that, they are also guarding the sky vein and earth vein between the battle stage, the bloodline of our sect. However, they never moved until today. ”


His voice became serious as he continued his explanation. After he finished, all the eyes of the elders were on Li Han Tian. They did not understand why the unmoving Heavenly Guardians had been helping Li Han Tian today.
