Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Battle with the Black Dragon

With Black Dragon’s appearance, Qin Zhantian ceased his attack, allowing Mad Tiger to catch his breath. He quickly ran to Black Dragon’s side, pointed at Ye Qingchen, and said, ”Big Brother, that’s the kid who killed our third brother! You have to avenge him!”

Black Dragon glanced down at Fei Hu’s corpse. It was hard to believe that their third brother, an Eighth-Layer Martial Spirit Realm expert, had been killed by a mere boy. But the fact was laid bare before him, leaving no room for doubt.

However, the most pressing issue isn’t Ye Qingchen, but that old bag of bones, Qin Zhantian! I’ve heard he’s been plagued by Fire Poison for years. This is the perfect chance to strike him down while he’s weak!

When Black Dragon’s gaze fell upon Qin Zhantian, his eyes narrowed slightly. He scoffed, ”Qin Zhantian, I never expected you to break through to the Second-Layer Martial King Realm! Truly a cause for celebration!”

Qin Zhantian snorted coldly, his gaze hostile as he stared back at Black Dragon. ”Since you know I’ve reached the Second-Layer Martial King Realm, be sensible and release my granddaughter and Ye Qingchen’s father immediately. We can avoid further conflict!”

Black Dragon roared with laughter. ”Haha, you’re just a sick man. What does a mere increase in cultivation matter? Did you really think I, Black Dragon, would be afraid of you? Qin Zhantian, why do you think I lured you here? Today, I will kill you, and then I will completely annihilate your Rising Sun Pavilion!”

Qin Zhantian looked coldly at Black Dragon, his tone just as sharp. ”There’s no need to wait for ’then.’ I brought all of the Rising Sun Pavilion’s experts with me today. If you have the ambition to destroy my Pavilion, then bring it on. I just fear your Dragon Tiger Mountain doesn’t have a big enough stomach to chew on these old bones!”

The moment Qin Zhantian finished speaking, a group of experts from the Rising Sun Pavilion flashed into the main hall of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Black Dragon surveyed the group. There were no fewer than twenty of them, not one below the Martial Spirit Realm, and the majority were even in the late-stage Martial Spirit Realm.

Yet Black Dragon was not afraid; instead, he laughed coldly at Qin Zhantian. ”Worthy of the Rising Sun Pavilion indeed, to have so many Martial Spirit Realm masters. No wonder they say your strength is comparable to a two-star Sect. It seems the rumors were true! However, Qin Zhantian, do you really think I planned to destroy your Pavilion today with only the power of Dragon Tiger Mountain?”

After speaking, Black Dragon called out to those outside the hall, ”Everyone, if you’re not going to make your move now, when will you?”

Following his words, several more figures flashed into the hall. Among them were not only Martial Spirit Realm powerhouses from Dragon Tiger Mountain but also a group of strangers clad in yellow robes.

When Qin Zhantian saw the figures in yellow robes, his gaze sharpened. ”The royal family of the Yanyang Kingdom?” he said coldly. ”I never thought you’d actually conspire with Dragon Tiger Mountain to move against my Rising Sun Pavilion!”

The leader of the yellow-robed men stepped forward, sneering at Qin Zhantian. ”Qin Zhantian, still remember me?”

”The Imperial Uncle of the Yanyang Kingdom,” Qin Zhantian said dismissively. ”My defeated opponent from years ago. Although you’ve now reached the Second-Layer Martial King Realm, so have I. You are still no match for me!”

Instead of growing angry, the Yanyang Kingdom’s Imperial Uncle laughed. ”It’s good that you remember me. It makes things simpler,” he said lightly. ”Your Rising Sun Pavilion has been as wealthy as a nation for so many years. It’s time you made way for others!”

”On your own?” Qin Zhantian scoffed. ”Don’t make me laugh!”

The Yanyang Kingdom’s Imperial Uncle continued, ”You’ll find out soon enough if it’s laughable or not. Black Dragon, make your move. Let’s not risk any complications from delaying.”

Black Dragon nodded and ordered the experts from Dragon Tiger Mountain to attack the Rising Sun Pavilion. The royal experts also charged, engaging in a fierce battle with the masters from the Rising Sun Pavilion.

Qin Zhantian tried to make a move but was blocked by the Yanyang Kingdom’s Imperial Uncle. ”Qin Zhantian, let the subordinates handle their own affairs,” the Imperial Uncle said. ”Your opponent right now is me!”

As his words fell, he launched an attack at Qin Zhantian.

Not to be outdone, Qin Zhantian summoned a silver staff into his hand. It whistled through the air with a force that seemed to tear at space itself as it smashed toward the Imperial Uncle. The latter’s fists trembled. He instantly donned a pair of dark gloves and viciously punched the staff!

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

A violent wave of energy exploded outward from the two. The shockwaves alone were terrifyingly powerful, causing the surrounding Martial Spirit Realm experts’ faces to pale as they scrambled to get away. The grand hall couldn’t contain a battle between so many experts, and some spontaneously took their fights outside.

The battle between Qin Zhantian and the Yanyang Kingdom’s Imperial Uncle was a stalemate. Both men understood it would be difficult to determine a victor quickly. The final outcome would likely depend on which side’s Martial Spirit Realm experts proved stronger.

However, the Yanyang Kingdom’s Imperial Uncle was not worried. Besides himself, his side had another Martial King Realm expert: Black Dragon.

Currently, Black Dragon was roaming the battlefield. Every move he made quickly wounded an expert from the Rising Sun Pavilion. After all, the gap between the Martial King and Martial Spirit Realms was simply too vast.

Qin Zhantian began to worry. If this continues, once Black Dragon kills all of our Martial Spirit Realm experts, he’ll definitely join forces with the Imperial Uncle to deal with me. Facing two Martial King Realm experts, I will be no match for them. The Rising Sun Pavilion will face total defeat!

As this thought crossed his mind, Qin Zhantian couldn’t help but look toward Ye Qingchen.

But he immediately shook his head. Although Ye Qingchen has constantly created miracles, he only just advanced to the Second-Layer Martial Spirit Realm. Relying on him to contend with Black Dragon is nothing short of a fool’s dream!

Watching the one-sided battle, the smile on the Yanyang Kingdom’s Imperial Uncle’s face widened. ”Qin Zhantian, I never thought the Fire Poison I left in your body would have disappeared. What a surprise! But it doesn’t matter. The outcome is already clear. Today is the day you die, you old fool. Killing you will finally be my revenge for the defeat you handed me all those years ago!”

Qin Zhantian snorted but didn’t reply. Instead, he unleashed an even more terrifying attack, attempting to break free from the Imperial Uncle’s entanglement and help his experts. The Yanyang Kingdom’s Imperial Uncle naturally understood Qin Zhantian’s intentions and unleashed his full power to prevent him from escaping.

At this moment, Ye Qingchen had just finished off a Martial Spirit Realm expert from Dragon Tiger Mountain. His gaze fell upon Black Dragon, who was currently like a tiger in a flock of sheep, his might unstoppable.

This must have been their plan all along. Have the Imperial Uncle tie up Qin Zhantian while Black Dragon goes on a rampage, then they team up to finish Qin Zhantian off. It’s a straightforward strategy, but incredibly effective, since the Rising Sun Pavilion has no other expert who can contend with someone at the Martial King Realm.

Seeing the key to the battle, Ye Qingchen didn’t hesitate. With a flash, he appeared directly in front of Black Dragon.

Black Dragon had just killed a Rising Sun Pavilion expert and was about to continue his slaughter when Ye Qingchen blocked his path.

Looking at the Second-Layer Martial Spirit Realm Ye Qingchen before him, Black Dragon’s face filled with disdain. He laughed coldly, ”Kid, you killed my third brother, and I wasn’t even in a hurry to deal with you, yet here you are, serving yourself up on a platter. Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll grant your wish!”

Overflowing with killing intent, Black Dragon charged at Ye Qingchen, attacking without mercy.

Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit! I’ll kill him in a single blow to avenge Fei Hu and settle this debt!
