Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 780: Chapter 779: The Hegemon! (1 update!)

The distance of about a hundred thousand miles could be covered in roughly three minutes with the normal speed of the Floating Stone of Ten Thousand Feet. However, if Su Han were to surge forward at a speed several times greater, he could arrive in roughly one minute.

But before that, Su Han had already fallen quite far behind them. Even with his current speed from where he was, it would take at least three minutes.

That is to say, even though his speed had increased several times, the distance he had to make up meant that contesting for the first place was still far from easy.

If it were merely a simple pursuit, Su Han felt that he definitely couldn’t catch up; at most, he could fight for the tenth place.

Therefore, he had to adopt some other methods.

”Eighty thousand miles to go.”

”Seventy thousand miles...”

”Sixty thousand miles...”

”Forty thousand miles...”

Liuyun stared intently at the exit, continuously reporting the distance.

The Phoenix Sect was getting closer and closer to the remaining Nine Great Super Sects, and these sects were consequently getting closer to the exit as well.

Looking up, one could see that One Slash Palace was faintly leading the nine great super sects, followed by the Demon Domain, with the Sect of Peace and the Holy Spirit Palace running parallel afterwards.

Of course, although there was a lead and a chase among the Nine Great Super Sects, the gap wasn’t too wide. In the final moments, none would rely on the Floating Stone but would dash out of the exit on their own strength.

”Thirty thousand miles...”

Liuyun glanced at Su Han and reported another stretch of distance.

”Sect Master, should we...?” Shangguan Mingxin showed a hint of anxiety.

”No rush,” Su Han calmly said, eyes fixed on the front.

Amidst various thoughts, the Phoenix Sect was now only twenty thousand miles from the exit, and from the Nine Great Super Sects, they were just ten thousand miles away.

It was at this moment that Su Han finally spoke, ”Prepare the Demon Crystal Cannon.”

The color returned to Liuyun’s face as he immediately began to organize the charging of the Demon Crystal Cannon.

Time moved on, long for some and short for others.

”Just ten thousand miles left...” Liuyun spoke again. He could clearly see that the Nine Great Super Sects were about six thousand miles from the exit now.

If the chase continued at this pace, the Phoenix Sect would have no possibility of catching up unless they sped up even more.

”Target the Nine Great Super Sects, fire!” Su Han suddenly commanded.

”The Nine Great Super Sects?”

Liuyun paused for a moment, ”Sect Master, including One Slash Palace... should we fire at them too?”

”Of course,” Su Han nodded. ”Good relations aside, we still have to strike. It’s also a tactic. Nangong Yu won’t be upset by this, don’t worry.”

”Okay.”

Liuyun nodded, then glanced towards those Mages manning the Demon Crystal Cannons and shouted loudly, ”Fire!”

”Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...”

A full nine thunderous booms erupted as the startlingly bright light dazzled immensely. Terrifying beams of light pierced the sky, cutting through the void, and in this darkness, illuminated bright colors.

”Hm?”

The loud explosion immediately caused all of the Nine Great Super Sects ahead to turn their heads.

They had already noticed the pursuit of the Phoenix Sect but hadn’t cared because, in their calculations, if the chase continued in this way, the Phoenix Sect would definitely not be able to catch up.

But at this moment...

”Despicable!”

”Shameless!”

”Phoenix Sect, you bunch of bastards!!!”

When they saw the nine astonishing Light Pillars spreading out like nine fireworks blooming simultaneously, the corners of the mouths of those from the Super Sects twitched violently.

They had seen with their own eyes that it was with the Demon Crystal Cannon that the Phoenix Sect had brought down the Jade Void Palace, and now, just before the exit, at the very last moment, the Phoenix Sect was attacking them as well!

Most crucially, those bastards of the Phoenix Sect seemed to have no idea what ’restraint’ meant; they weren’t targeting anyone in particular because their attack was a direct bombardment of all Nine Great Super Sects, not even sparing One Slash Palace, with whom they had good relations!

Clearly, for the first place in the second round, the Phoenix Sect was determined not to let it go.

...

Meanwhile, in the outside world, as people saw the Phoenix Sect attack all the forces ahead in one go, countless people were heavily shaken.

”The Phoenix Sect... really don’t know what fear is?”

”Such audacity, even including One Slash Palace in the attack, Su Baliu indeed can be called a hero among villains.”

”The exit is right before their eyes, it’s clear Su Baliu knows he’s accelerated a lot, but he can no longer catch up with those nine Super Sects, which is why he resorted to this strategy.”

”It’s not necessarily a bad strategy, that black object, apparently called the Demon Crystal Cannon, is extremely powerful. Although it consumes a lot, its might is earth-shattering. Duan Tiansheng and the others immediately ceded the Floating Stone without a word; at the time, it seemed they were being cowardly and foolish, but after witnessing the power of the Demon Crystal Cannon, one realizes how wise Duan Tiansheng’s decision was.”

”I just don’t understand, isn’t the Phoenix Sect afraid of provoking a joint attack from these nine Super Sects?”

”Joint attack? You’re overthinking it, the exit is right there. Even if these Super Powers don’t get first place, they’ll definitely fight for second. Even though the actions of the Phoenix Sect enrage them, they can only accept it helplessly. Now is obviously not the time for a joint attack.”

”I really fucking admire this Su Baliu, I don’t know where he gets all these terrifying means.”

Voices of discussion spread from the crowd, and everyone was filled with great interest.

They had thought this second round would pass quietly, but unexpectedly, at the very last moment, the Phoenix Sect had deployed such a surprising tactic.

...

And within the second round, as those nine Light Pillars transformed into the Golden Sun Cannons and bombarded the Nine Great Super Sects, most of them had gloomy expressions, grinding their teeth in anger.

”Boom, boom, boom, boom...”

With the descent of the light cannons, thunderous explosions continually spread, the Floating Stones where the Nine Great Super Sects were located trembled greatly, and even their speed was sharply reduced.

”Su Baliu!!!”

From the Sword Immortal Tomb, someone’s roar came: ”In the Ancient Battlefield, you struck against us, and now you block us again with such means, do you truly think we Super Sects are so easy to bully?!”

”Damn thing, if I could, I’d really like to butcher you myself!” Similarly, an angry shout came from the Giant Island.

On the Floating Stone of the One Slash Palace, Nangong Yu stood at the forefront. Their stone was also hit, but as Su Han had expected, Nangong Yu was not angry, only showing a wry smile.

”This guy...” Nangong Yu shook her head, speaking to herself, a helpless expression on her beautiful face.

It wasn’t just her; in fact, all of the Super Sects felt helpless.

Who asked for someone to have such a Demon Crystal Cannon, while they themselves did not?
