Just as he was in panic.
A wisp of flame soared high, insignificant at first, but in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a blazing sea of fire.
The sound of burning resounded through the void, and in just a moment, the fearsome Buddha Palm turned to ashes. Not only that, but the flame also had a strong follow-up force, burning along the Glazed Treasure Tree.
Buddha Baoshu’s face changed dramatically, he let out a strange cry, and a strong golden light emerged from his body surface, desperately trying, even the Barbarian Emperor looked serious, sending waves of spiritual power to help Buddha Baoshu extinguish the flames.
A figure approached with hands behind his back.
He stood in the void, naturally possessing an aura of overlooking the world.
All those from Great Yan wore expressions of cheers and astonishment.
"Flame Martial Grand General!" The Divine Feather Grand General instinctively wanted to shout but stopped abruptly, only because the person before him, apart from looking like Flame Martial Grand General, differed completely in demeanor and aura.
The Barbarian Emperor and Buddha Baoshu finally extinguished the flames, and they looked at the elder in front of them with grave expressions:
Li Yanwu surveyed the battlefield and said calmly:
"Leave Great Yan, and I will not hold you accountable for today’s crimes."
Although his words were calm, they were full of dominance.
On Great Yan’s side, there was an uproar, while the Northern Barbarian soldiers trembled. The Martial Saint of Great Yan had intimidated the world for two thousand years, which was not something whose influence could be dispelled in a short time.
The Barbarian Emperor’s expression was unsightly as he stood alongside Buddha Baoshu, confronting Li Yanwu.
"Flame Saint, today is different from the past. In the past, we were sleeping and it didn’t matter if the world belonged to you. Now that we’ve returned, everything needs to be reshuffled." He stared at the front and continued, "I only need Liang State."
The battlefield below had gradually calmed down.
Countless people awaited eagerly.
But Li Yanwu merely uttered one word calmly:
The winds and clouds changed.
Boundless flames rose behind him, illuminating the world brightly, and the layers of clouds high in the sky were burned clean. The Barbarian Emperor and Buddha Baoshu’s expressions changed as they witnessed two Heaven-Reaching fire pillars bursting forth, then pressing toward them.
The Glazed Treasure Tree shone brightly, with a Buddha sitting atop it; dark energy condensed on the Barbarian Emperor, as a three-headed Heavenly Wolf roared and charged out.
But it was all in vain.
The momentum of the fire pillars was overwhelming and unstoppable.
The Buddha was washed away by the flames and instantly turned to ashes, and Buddha Baoshu was suppressed into the ground; the three-headed Heavenly Wolf resisted for a single breath, then also vanished, the Barbarian Emperor’s expression changed, unwilling to be so embarrassed, but he was still sent flying backward by the impact of the fire pillar.
The world fell silent.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the Great Yan Martial Saint.
Originally expecting a fierce battle, they hadn’t anticipated such a huge disparity.
"Martial Saint! Martial Saint!"
Great Yan’s side cheered thunderously.
Li Yanwu simply stood with hands behind his back, gazing forward.
At some point, a blind old man had reappeared on the battlefield, and some people had already recognized his identity.
Wind-listening Old Man!
If it were before the Celestial Being Grand Ceremony at True Profound Mountain, Wind-listening Old Man might have been just the first on the Celestial Being List, but now, everyone knew that this person was equally fierce beyond measure, previously on True Profound Mountain he easily separated four Ancient Saints.
Li Yanwu descended and met his gaze.
Wind-listening Old Man merely sighed softly: Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on noᴠelfire.net
"Taoist friend, long time no see, I hope you’re well."
Li Yanwu nodded and said:
"I understand your point, or today’s outcome wouldn’t be ."
The Barbarian Emperor and Buddha Baoshu returned in anger, landing behind Wind-listening Old Man, seemingly having found their reliance, they shouted angrily:
"Heaven Slaying Taoist Friend, you judge, isn’t it excessive for us to return and divide a territory now?"
Li Yanwu’s eyes turned cold.
Buddha Baoshu shuddered instinctively, having originally thought Li Yanwu’s physical condition was problematic, how could he have known he was still excessively strong, but then the Barbarian Emperor said solemnly:
"Flame Saint, now we might not be your opponents, but after the Spiritual Awakening, can you fend off the two of us, not to mention so many Taoist friends?"
Li Yanwu remained disdainful:
"At that time, each will rely on their abilities, at least for now, get out!"
These unceremonious words made the Barbarian Emperor’s expression even worse, he wanted to say more.
Wind-listening Old Man gently waved his hand:
"You two should calm down as well."
The Barbarian Emperor’s face turned even darker.
Both of the current strongest stand on the opposite side, they simply have no means of resistance.
Wind-listening Old Man continued:
"Barbarian Emperor, your Barbarian Grassland is already vast enough, there’s no need to fight over these areas. As for the Taoist friends who will gradually awaken later, the Flame Saint will surely allocate corresponding territories for them as well, and for the rest, remember, it’s what the Flame Saint deserves."
The Barbarian Emperor and Buddha Baoshu both fell silent.
Li Yanwu nodded lightly:
"Naturally, for the Taoist friends who awaken later, some territories can be divided out for them, but the main body of Great Yan, don’t expect to touch it."
The Barbarian Emperor merely snorted coldly.
Today’s matters can’t be achieved, after a bout of fighting, they had gained nothing, and continuing would no longer be beneficial.
He said nothing more, just turned and left.
Li Yanwu’s voice rang out behind him:
The Barbarian Emperor raged:
"What? Does the Flame Saint want to continue?"
He turned sharply, murderous intent condensed in his eyes.
Li Yanwu said coldly:
"People can leave, but debts can’t be erased, stay as many men for how many Great Yan soldiers you killed this time."
The Barbarian Emperor’s eyes showed ferocity that seemed tangible, as if holding back something, Buddha Baoshu gently pulled him, only then did the Barbarian Emperor suppress his inner killing intent bit by bit, he gazed deeply at Li Yanwu, then said coldly:
