CHAPTER 507: CHAPTERS 253-254: YOU’VE FINALLY ARRIVED (TWO-IN-ONE CHAPTER, ASKING FOR MONTHLY VOTES)_2

His strength has truly grown even greater!

When Master Guiyuan had previously encountered Shimohe, he could still discern some clues about his opponent. Now, however, he couldn’t perceive any depth at all. It was as if Shimohe were an unfathomable abyss, its bottom utterly invisible to ordinary people.

"Greetings to the Alliance Hierarch!"

Upon Shimohe’s arrival, the people of the Heaven Alliance all bowed in unison, their voices echoing throughout Saint Buddha Mountain. This alone could be described as a display of tremendous momentum. The martial artists from Jianghu who had come to watch were all visibly shocked at the scene.

In the crowd, Master Guiyuan was inwardly shaken. So this is the Heaven Alliance Leader, truly an extraordinary demeanor! The temperament of the other party was stronger than that of any other powerful person he had ever seen. Clearly, this was how a top-tier powerhouse should look. Looking at Shimohe, he felt as if he were seeing a being worthy of reverence, and a sense of awe uncontrollably rose in his heart.

Shortly thereafter, Master Guiyuan turned his gaze to the Demon-Subduing Division’s camp. The Heaven Alliance Leader had arrived, yet Shen Changqing was still nowhere to be seen.

On the other side, Shimohe abandoned his usual gesture of holding a flower with one hand and instead stood with his hands clasped behind his back. Looking at the Demon-Subduing Division’s camp, his voice was calm and unhurried.

"Where is Shen Changqing?"

"Defender Shen is on his way. There’s no need for Sect Master Shimohe to be so impatient!" Yun Venerable replied gravely. With Shen Changqing absent, he was the backbone of the Demon-Subduing Division’s camp. Even though he was deeply wary of the opponent, he could not show the slightest hint of retreat at this moment.

"I don’t have time to waste on you all. If Shen Changqing doesn’t arrive in a quarter of an hour, then I will deal with you first. After all, it’s just a matter of order, since the outcome will be the same sooner or later," Shimohe said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, anger flashed across Yun Venerable’s face, but he said nothing more. The people of the Demon-Subduing Division all watched Shimohe, appearing indignant yet silent. There was no help for it; since their leader, Yun Venerable, was not speaking out, they didn’t dare to say anything either. The Heaven Alliance Leader’s words were arrogant, but his strength was terrifyingly formidable.

Soon, a quarter of an hour passed.

Shimohe slowly stated, "It seems Shen Changqing is afraid and refuses to fight. Today, I shall deal with you first, and then take care of him afterward!"

Behind him, the members of the Heaven Alliance revealed excited expressions upon hearing his words. As far as they were concerned, Shen Changqing’s prolonged absence clearly meant he was scared and dared not come. Since that was the case, it was a great opportunity to eradicate the Demon-Subduing Division’s forces. These people were all prepared. They were just waiting for Shimohe’s command to strike.

The onlookers, however, showed regret on their faces. What a pity! Such a pity indeed! Their purpose in coming here was to witness the decisive battle between two Great Grandmasters, not a one-sided slaughter. But the problem was, now that Shen Changqing hadn’t arrived, a decisive battle was obviously impossible.

While the others felt regret, the Demon-Subduing Division’s camp was on high alert. If Shimohe really disregarded martial virtue and made a move against them, they would have no choice but to fight to the death. Yun Venerable silently mobilized his power, ready to unleash a thunderous strike the moment Shimohe made a move. Retreat was out of the question. Retreating without a fight under the watchful eyes of everyone would utterly ruin his reputation as a Dominator of the Demon-Subduing Division and tarnish the Division’s name as well.

As Yun Venerable quietly mobilized his power, his lips moved slightly, and a faint voice reached Fei Yun’s ears.

"The moment Shimohe makes a move, you are to retreat to South Sea City first and organize the others to evacuate. Do not engage in a fight to the death; avoid unnecessary casualties."

"Defender Yun!" Fei Yun’s expression changed upon hearing this. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Yun Venerable raise his hand, stopping him from continuing.

On the other side, Shimohe’s expression was indifferent.

"Today shall be the day you die!"

As his words fell, he took a step forward. An infinite aura burst forth, surging like an ocean tide as it bore down hard on the Demon-Subduing Division’s camp.

RUMBLE!

The very heavens seemed to wail, as if unable to bear this terrifying pressure.

Just then, a person suddenly appeared in front of the Demon-Subduing Division’s camp, emanating a daunting aura of his own that violently collided with Shimohe’s.

CRACK—

The very void seemed to shatter like breaking glass, as fearsome shockwaves swept in all directions, causing everyone nearby to involuntarily retreat.

"Sect Master Shimohe, can you not wait even a short while? Are you in such a rush to die?"

A calm voice rose, reaching the ears of everyone present. The Heaven Alliance’s members all looked taken aback, while the Demon-Subduing Division’s camp showed signs of joy.

—

「Atop Saint Buddha Mountain.」

Martial artists from several factions had all congregated on the mountain summit platform. In the center, two figures stood.

Upon seeing the new arrival, Shimohe’s normally calm and undisturbed gaze finally showed some ripples.

"You have finally arrived!"

He continued, "Unfortunately for you. You should not have come. If you had stayed away, you might have avoided death. But now that you are here, your demise today is preordained!"

As Shimohe spoke, his aura surged, seeming to pierce into the Qingming and stir the heavens, changing their colors. In the sky above, brilliant golden light spread out, transforming into a vast Buddha phantom.

Looking at the Buddha phantom, Shen Changqing’s expression remained unchanged.

At this moment, as Shimohe spoke, the humongous Buddha phantom also spoke in unison, its majestic and grand voice resonating for miles.
