A few hundred meters in the sky above Xiaoyu Town.
Two old men were facing each other.
One of them was dressed in a gray robe, while the other was dressed in gray cotton clothes.
Both of them had white hair and white beards. Though they were skinny, they were in great spirits, and their divine splendor was restrained.
Their eyes were not as turbid as those of ordinary old men. On the contrary, they shot out extremely sharp rays of light.
One could tell at a glance that these two were definitely not ordinary people.
They faced each other in the air, and a terrifying aura surrounded them.
Streams of true Qi emitting different colors flowed around them.
The two looked at each other with eyes filled with anger and disdain.
After a long while, the gray-robed elder snorted and said coldly, "Feng Xinghe, it's been so long, but you still haven't made any progress."
"You couldn't beat me back then, and you're even worse now."
The gray-robed old man didn't want to be outdone and said coldly.
"Yu Feiyang, don't be boastful here."
"I can't beat you, but when did you ever beat me?"
"Of course it's today, I'll let you know how powerful I am!"
Yu Feiyang snorted coldly and the veins on his neck bulged.
However, Feng Xinghe did not care about his attitude and said indifferently, "Yu Feiyang, after hearing your big words for so many years, my ears are starting to hurt."
After saying that, Feng Xinghe even pretended to prick his ears.
This completely infuriated Yu Feiyang.
He narrowed his eyes and a dangerous glint flashed across his eyes.
His voice was as cold as ice. "Whether it's the hard truth or just boastful words, I'll let you find out right now!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly pushed his palms forward.
A pale blue light immediately swept towards Feng Xinghe.
Even the surrounding air was stirred up.
Feng Xinghe did not dare to be careless. He could also sense the dangerous aura from this palm.
He didn't dare to slack off.
He suddenly stretched out a thin finger, and a dazzling red light suddenly burst out from his fingertip.
In an instant, the red light dyed half of the sky red.
Rumble, rumble!
The red and blue light suddenly collided and instantly exploded.
It was like two huge waves crashing into each other and exploding with a deafening roar.
The surrounding clouds and mist were instantly dispersed, like the clear sky after a violent storm.
Both of them were origin core realm experts. As the pillars of their respective sects, their strength was matchless.
But the two sects hated each other.
They had been locked in conflict for many years, with casualties on both sides. There was never a clear winner, causing the two old men to become irreconcilable enemies.
Moreover, on top of the grudges between the two sects, there was also a personal grudge between them.
It was rumored that both of them had a close relationship in the early years, and they had even fallen in love with the same woman.
However, the final result was not as expected.
As a result, today's battle was fueled by both public feud and private hatred.
They did not show any mercy when they fought.
In an instant, all kinds of powerful spells were unleashed.
They did not hesitate to use their rare magic treasures.
Bright lights flew in all directions and fiercely collided with each other.
A terrifying aura swept through the sky like a gale.
The entire space was thrown into unstable chaos.
It looked extremely strange from the ground, as if the sky and earth had changed color.
The two of them were fighting in the sky hundreds of meters above the ground, but it was, after all, a great battle between origin core realm experts.
Even the side effects of such battles had unimaginable destructive power.
Countless spells fell from the sky like heavenly flames, smashing into Xiaoyu Town.
The innocent residents of Xiaoyu Town were now suffering a sudden disaster for no reason.
Many people's houses collapsed, and the entire town was in a mess.
Everyone scrambled to get to cover and hide.
The originally bustling Sansheng Street suddenly became empty.
Everyone's hearts were filled with fear and unease.
Xiaoyu Town had always been a piece of blessed land where disasters rarely occurred.
This was the first time most people had seen such a strange and terrifying scene.
All of a sudden, the entire Xiaoyu Town was in a state of panic.
...
At the Jiang Mansion.
The spells crashed against each other, producing deafening noises like rolling thunder.
Wan'er and Yan'er hid behind Jiang Ping like two little rabbits, trembling and shuddering in fear.
Liu'er was the most timid of them all. She begged Jiang Ping for a hug and buried her little head into Jiang Ping's arms like an ostrich.
Li Sushang stood at the side, her expression calm.
But her gaze was fixed on everything that happened in the air.
Yan'er suddenly pulled the corner of Jiang Ping's clothes to cover her face.
She stammered, "Dad, is this the end of the world?"
After hearing Yan'er's words, Liu'er became even more terrified.
She let out an "ahh", and then her whole body desperately shrank into his arms.
It made Jiang Ping's chest itch, but it was not funny now.
He could only gently comfort the girls.
"Yan'er, Liu'er, don't be afraid."
"This is not the end of the world. It's just that someone is setting off firecrackers."
"You're lying. Who would set off firecrackers in broad daylight?!"
Yan'er pouted and said while shivering.
"Dad, don't treat me like a three-year-old child. I'm not that stupid!"
Jiang Ping found it funny again.
Though she wasn't three years old, she was not that much older.
He had once told Yan'er and the others a bedtime story about the end of the world.
But he didn't expect the girls to take it seriously now.
She was still a child.
Jiang Ping said gently, "Yan'er, I am not lying to you."
"Someone is really setting off fireworks. It'll probably be over soon."
"Really?"
Hearing her father's confident tone, Yan'er's mood finally calmed down a little.
But she looked at Jiang Ping in disbelief.
"When did I lie to Yan'er?"
"Besides, I am here. Everything will be fine."
Yan'er hesitated for a while, but in the end, she still nodded.
Her expression was not so ugly anymore, but she continue to hide behind Jiang Ping.
Jiang Ping chuckled, then raised his head to look at the sky.
His gaze passed through the layers of white clouds and landed on the two figures who were fighting.
He had hidden the heavenly treasure concealment plate in the Jiang Mansion.
That top-grade spiritual artifact should be enough to protect the mansion from the attacks of an origin core realm expert.
Therefore, Jiang Ping wasn't worried that this battle would destroy his house or hurt the three little girls.
However, a battle between mighty figures was ultimately not a good thing.
Sigh, he could only hope that they would quickly finish their work and leave.
Jiang Ping secretly looked forward to it.
