Duan Tian was stunned.
How could such a powerful figure appear at Xuanse Lake?
Nian Feng looked solemnly towards the Dragon God Sectâs Main Hall, and the confusion in his heart suddenly became clear, "It seems the force that destroyed the Dragon Pond Secret Realm and looted the Kun Hall is indeed them. And the recent disturbances in Celestial Industry City must also be their doing."
Duan Tian nodded, deeply agreeing.
However, he was momentarily indecisive, as the situation was now too chaotic. He had initially thought that the forces targeting the Dragon God Sect from behind the scenes were doing so because they were unable to face them head-on. Hence, he had coordinated these Mountain Suppression Realm experts to launch a surprise attack on the Dragon God Sect.
Now, with two Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression experts involved, what should they do?
Duan Tian hurriedly asked, "Senior, what should we do now?"
Nian Feng replied, "This force likely intends to completely annihilate the Dragon God Sect, which is why theyâve been carefully orchestrating their moves step by step to this point. Letâs move down, approach quietly, and watch how things unfold!"
Having said that, Nian Feng patted the head of the Wing Raceâs Great Demon and they descended rapidly.
...
In the Dragon God Sect.
During the past half hour, Long Ke remained at a disadvantage, forced out of the Main Hall by Tuo Hai, who could suddenly vanish, greatly expanding the battlefield. This was why everyone from the Dragon God Sect had evacuated at this moment.
Wen Ping stood on an undamaged stone pillar at the plazaâs edge, gazing at the battlefield in the distance with a calm expression.
However, at this time, Elder Mei suddenly laughed, her voice hoarse and shriveled, reminiscent of a witchâs cackle, "HahaâWen Ping, youâre too arrogant, thinking that you can destroy our Dragon God Sect with just scheming and the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression? The Dragon God Sectâs Cultivation Technique and Spirit Body both originate from the Dragon Pond Secret Realm, closely linked with the Dragon Bone. The Sect Leaderâs Cultivation Technique can continuously draw power from the Dragon Bone, and the longer time passes, the stronger he becomes."
Wen Ping turned his head to glance at Elder Mei, whose cane had somehow been reduced to just a stub while engaging with the Evil Spirit Knight and the Mountain Dog, reaching the point where she looked utterly patheticâastonishingly, the Evil Spirit Knight was even toying around.
Wen Ping showed a look of displeasure, "Alright, although sheâs the prey I promised to you, youâve been playing for way too long."
Crackâ
Crackâ
Upon hearing Wen Pingâs voice, the Evil Spirit Knight let out a cold, sinister laugh, then abruptly flung out a chain.
This time, it wasnât aimed at Elder Mei, but rather at the Main Hall and the destroyed stone dragon.
As soon as the chain wrapped around the dragonâs body, blue fire suddenly flared from its eyes, then from its body, claws, and tail! The stone dragon, originally an inanimate object, was evidently Hellified!
Dragon roars immediately erupted, echoing above the Dragon God Sect.
Elder Meiâs expression froze, her faceâwhich wore a smile due to Tuo Hai gaining the upper handâinstantly turned deathly pale.
"How could this be?"
She had intended to seize an opportunity and recklessly attack Wen Ping when he let his guard down.
But now the stone dragon in front of her had come to life, exuding the vast aura of the Mountain Suppression Realm. The already tough one-on-two fight suddenly became a one-on-three, and their fleeting chances of victory, as thin as flickering flames, were now completely extinguished.
Wen Ping let out a mocking laugh, "There are many things you donât know. Just like how I know your Divine Lady has gone to East Lake with her people, yet she doesnât know that Iâve already arrived at Dragon Spine Mountain from Demon Emperor Lake."
Elder Meiâs face showed fear, shaking her head in denial of Wen Pingâs words, "Impossible, how could you have crossed Demon Emperor Lake!"
If there was a Wing Race Great Demon capable of crossing Demon Emperor Lake, Wen Ping should have sent it out to deal with Sect Leader Tuo Hai.
Why hasnât he used it until now?
Wen Ping was too lazy to explain, turning his head back to continue watching the battle at Long Keâs side, casually adding, "As I said, there are many things you folks standing at the supposed summit know nothing about. What can they see?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud crash rang out!
The stone dragon, its blue fiery tail swinging fiercely, struck Elder Mei during the Mountain Dogâs attack interval, hurling her away. Wen Ping caught a glimpse of her being flung several hundred meters, smashing into a distant rock face.
Following that, the Evil Spirit Knightâs chain reached into the pit that resulted from the impact, grabbed around her body, and yanked her out harshly. The moment she emerged, a gigantic ethereal dog paw slammed down, smacking her from a hundred meters high and crushing her into the ground below.
The previously robust Mountain-Suppressing Armor shattered with a pop, dispersing like mist, and her Spirit Body suffered great damage, rendering her entire body immobile. She could only watch as the Evil Spirit Knight approached step by step, lifted by a skeletal hand into the air, stared at by fiery eyes devoid of pupils.
The moment their eyes met, Elder Meiâs expression suddenly contorted, and she let out a piercing scream.
Ahâ
Terror!
Agony!
Her screams echoed endlessly in the sky, lingering hauntingly.
When the sound reached Tuo Hai, the spear he was directing at Long Ke suddenly halted, and by the time it descended again, Long Ke had already retreated safely. He didnât continue attacking but instead cast his gaze toward the Main Hall.
Retrieving his gaze, his face bore a look of rage and hatred.
"All of you deserve to die!"
As the words left his mouth, Tuo Haiâs Meridian Gate trembled wildly, and a massive ocean of Vein Qi madly surged towards him, ultimately converging in his mouth. At this time, Tuo Haiâs mouth resembled a bottomless abyss, continually devouring the Vein Qi transmitted from his Meridian Gate.
Suddenly, a light pillar, hundreds of meters long, shot out violently.
Stone mountains, the grand hall, and everything it hit were reduced to nothingness. Naturally, it also enveloped Long Ke, who was attempting to dodge to the side, giving him no time or chance to react.
"Letâs go!" Initially approaching the Dragon God Sect, Nian Feng began to withdraw with a face of shock and disappointment.
Duan Tian and the others hurried to catch up, their faces turning pale upon hearing Nian Fengâs following words.
"Tuo Hai is burning his lifespan to forcibly use a Secret Technique. This attack probably matches the power of a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted. Itâs hard for the strong one at the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression to survive it!"
As Nian Feng retreated, Duan Tian couldnât help but feel regret while watching the center of the battle. They had almost pushed the Dragon God Sect to the brink of annihilation, but who could have predicted such an ending for this conflict.
Itâs a pity, such powerful figures should be standing at the pinnacle of Heaven and Earth Lake, dominating the world, yet they have to die here.
"Should we go and help?"
An expert from the Mountain Suppression Realm suddenly asked.
Nian Feng replied, "Letâs go. Even if Tuo Hai can wield Half-Step Earth Unrestricted power, along with the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, we still wouldnât be able to challenge Tuo Hai right now."
But just at that moment, the unstoppable light pillar was suddenly severed, though not truly severed. The light pillar ceased to extend beyond the spot where Long Ke originally stood.
Long Keâs voice followed promptly.
"Is this your ultimate move?"
Inside the light pillar, Long Ke, his entire body enveloped in red scales, remained unaffected by the pillar striking his scales.
As he walked towards Tuo Hai, ignoring the light pillar, Tuo Haiâs hands began to tremble.
He couldnât believe the scene before him!
But he realized he had underestimated the Crimson Spirit Body, a high-level Spirit Body ranked within the top 2000.
