Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 667: Chapter 646 This Is Your Choice

”Buzz!”

It was the moment they opened their eyes that the Light Barrier around the Sage’s remains started trembling.

Under this tremor, the massive Light Barrier suddenly shattered, turning into specks of light and dissipating between heaven and earth.

And with the collapse of the Light Barrier, the remains of the Sage were immediately exposed.

At this moment, there was no longer any obstacle protecting the Sage’s remains; they were up for grabs by anyone.

”Swoosh!”

A figure shot forward, none other than Qingyi from Nine Heavens Tower.

Behind him, the sounds of more than three hundred figures breaking through the wind cried out in unison, closely following his lead.

Qingyi being the first to rush out did not mean he was the fastest, nor did he go straight for the Sage’s Skull. Instead, he positioned himself in front of everyone else, his gaze landing on Yuchen and Su Han.

”Su Baliu, Yuchen, which one of you wants to die first?” Qingyi laughed loudly, his facial scars reddening and twisting fiercely with his smile.

His words were exceedingly arrogant, but aside from the Phoenix Sect, nobody thought Qingyi was being presumptuous; for they all knew that this was just the way Nine Heavens Tower conducted themselves. It wasn’t just Qingyi—almost everyone from Nine Heavens Tower behaved in the same manner.

The business of Nine Heavens Tower couldn’t exactly be described as robbery, but their primary source of income was indeed assassination.

It could be said that Nine Heavens Tower was one of the strongest assassin forces in the entire Dragon Martial Continent.

And their rise to power today was greatly related to their strength; without sufficient power, they couldn’t complete their missions, and without completed missions, there would be no Nine Heavens Tower as it stood today.

”Swoosh, swoosh!”

As Qingyi spoke, two members of Nine Heavens Tower directly charged out from behind him and reached for the Sage’s Skull.

This scene, seen by everyone present, immediately filled them with urgency.

Su Han seemed indifferent, but the Phoenix Sect were desperate; after all, they were the ones to have unlocked the Sage’s Skull. Had it not been for the Sage’s Light Screen blocking, it would already have been in their hands.

A duck that was arriving at their mouths—they were not willing to let it fly away.

However, seeing that Su Han remained unmoved, they too had to restrain themselves. As for Yuchen, Duan Tiansheng, and the Wang Family, they simply didn’t care.

Regardless of whether the Phoenix Sect could obtain it, they couldn’t; they were rather hoping that Su Han would not make a move, saving them the effort as well.

Of course, that was clearly impossible.

Here was where Su Han had initiated the opening; he was bound to claim the Sage’s Skull. His current lack of action was definitely due to some other consideration.

While Su Han could hold back, others could not.

Ji Mingkong, as one of the Ji Family’s three sons, clearly didn’t have the maturity of the others. Seeing someone from Nine Heavens Tower rushing towards the Sage’s Skull, he immediately stood up.

”Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

And with his getting up, numerous followers of the Ji Family also rose, filled with a surge of killing intent.

”Ji Mingkong, don’t come looking for death.”

Qingyi’s gaze shifted onto Ji Mingkong, ”If your eldest brother were here, I might give him some face, but as for you... get lost immediately!”

As his words fell, Qingyi waved his hand, and power at the Peak of the Dragon God Realm burst forth.

His aura was much stronger than that of Song Yi, whom Su Han had previously killed!

”Boom!”

In the void above, a giant hand spanned out, grasping towards Ji Mingkong.

”Qingyi, your Nine Heavens Tower is strong, but here, it’s barely more than three hundred people after all. Do you truly think you can defeat the Ji Family?”

Ji Mingkong spoke, and with a cold snort, an elder immediately stepped forward from behind him and struck out in unison with Qingyi.

”Boom!”

As they clashed, the elder’s complexion turned pale, and he quickly retreated.

However, Qingyi’s palm also dissipated into the void, yet he remained standing there, his expression unchanged.

At the same level, both at the Peak of the Dragon God Realm, their strengths were evident, and the superior was immediately determined.

”Just the lot of you?”

Qingyi scoffed, ”As I said before, if your elder brother were here, he might have been worthy of discussing matters with me, but you, you are not qualified at all!”

”Considering the face of your elder brother, I won’t strike at you, but don’t provoke me, otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Ji Mingkong scoffed, ”Since you are so wary of my elder brother, you should know what the consequences of attacking me are, just how protective my elder brother can be, you are aware.”

”Wary?”

Qingyi laughed loudly, ”You think I’m wary of your elder brother? Such naivety of a newborn calf not fearing a tiger. Even if your elder brother himself were here, he would still have to seriously consider whether or not he should confront me!”

”What if you add us?”

Han Yiming suddenly spoke up, rising to his feet as more than three hundred individuals charged out behind him.

Qingyi’s brows furrowed, ”This is not your place to speak, get lost!”

”No matter how powerful Nine Heavens Tower is, it is still just one force after all, you are too arrogant.”

Han Yiming shook his head, ready to rush forward.

But at that moment, Su Han’s eyes suddenly opened, ”Go back.”

Han Yiming was startled, his movements pausing as he looked towards Su Han, ”Brother Su, you once spared Wen Ling out of respect for the Divine Master of my Divine Transformation Pavilion. I’m aware of that, but the Sage’s Skull is of great importance to both of us. It can not only decide our rankings but also has other significant uses, so... my apologies.”

Su Han looked at Han Yiming and spoke indifferently again.

”This Sage’s Light Screen was opened by my Phoenix Sect, you had best go back.”

”It’s not that Han wants to offend Brother Su, but this relic is too important. Even if Nine Heavens Tower had opened it, my Divine Transformation Pavilion would not give up.”

Han Yiming still refused, and it was clear from his words that Phoenix Sect was not Nine Heavens Tower, nor could it compare to Nine Heavens Tower.

”Fine, that’s your choice.”

Su Han nodded slightly and then closed his eyes again, no longer speaking.

”Hahaha, how amusing.”

Qingyi laughed loudly, ”You, a mere Phoenix Sect, are just a Sixth-Rate Sect. Even if One Slash Palace had recognized you as a First-Class Sect, are you qualified to carry that title? Are you qualified to compete with us? And to threaten people from Divine Transformation Pavilion? Do you think you’re worthy? The folks at One Slash Palace must have lost their minds, to waste a First-Class Sect slot on you. The First-Class Sect that was displaced must loathe you to the bone.”

”That’s my concern, not yours,” Su Han said calmly.

”I’m bored to death to worry about your affairs? I’m warning you, don’t get yourself into trouble. I’ll take the Sage’s Skull as a gift from you, but I don’t owe you any favors, understand?” Qingyi sneered even more fiercely.

Su Han no longer paid any attention, merely sitting quietly in his place.

”Sect Master!”

Seeing Su Han like this, Liuyun finally couldn’t hold back.

His Magic Cultivation, relatively speaking, was already capable of battling those at the Peak of the Dragon God Realm, but his state of mind was still young and not as seasoned.

”Sect Master, are we just going to give up the Sage’s Skull like this?”
