Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

Xia Qianhe, long spear in his right hand, said gravely, ”Young Hero Wen, rest assured. Many experts from my Three Realms Sect are on their way. We will absolutely safeguard the Celestial Martial Country.”

Wen Qingye nodded. ”I’m grateful, Master Xia.”

Xia Qianhe laughed. ”It’s no trouble. The Three Realms Sect and the Heaven-Burying Sect share an irreconcilable hatred. I didn’t come here this time just for you, Young Hero Wen.”

The last purple-robed elder in the distance was no match for Gao Changtian to begin with. With the successive deaths of the black-robed elder and Zhang Da, he was thrown into a panic, and his techniques grew sloppy.

”SLICE!”

A beam of Gao Changtian’s Sword Aura pierced the purple-robed elder’s arm, sending blood spraying. The sudden pain seemed to sober him up.

’I can’t escape... In that case, I’ll fight to the death!’

Having come to this conclusion, the elder’s techniques became even more vicious than before. He had adopted a desperate, life-for-a-life fighting style.

For a time, the intensity of their battle continued to climb.

Sima Feng clutched his chest as he walked over to Wen Qingye’s side, a wry smile on his face. ”I never thought your power would have reached this level.”

Wen Qingye smiled faintly. ”Are you alright? You got here quickly.”

Sima Feng shook his head. ”I’m fine. I had just discovered a tomb and was about to go inside to seek some opportunities, but when I received your message, I rushed over immediately.”

Wen Qingye looked at Sima Feng, a sharp glint in his eyes as the Ziwei Astrology System began to spin and calculate in his mind.

’It’s all a blur?!’

’That tomb must be extraordinary. It’s actually caused such a great change in Sima Feng’s aura.’

Wen Qingye asked doubtfully, ”Where is this tomb?”

Sima Feng answered, ”The Desert North! It’s said to be a tomb left behind by a Great Power.”

Wen Qingye said with a smile, ”Be careful. This will be the greatest opportunity of your life.”

”Oh?”

Hearing Wen Qingye’s words, Sima Feng couldn’t help but laugh, but he didn’t press him for an explanation.

They both turned their gazes to the two combatants in the sky.

”Trying to escape?”

Just then, the tens of thousands of Heaven-Burying Sect followers began to flee into the distance, their retreat as swift as an ebbing tide.

With a move of the black Long Spear in his hand, boundless Primordial Qi surged out. In a single strike, Xia Qianhe cut down a huge swathe of Heaven-Burying Sect followers.

Seeing Xia Qianhe’s divine might, the Heaven-Burying Sect followers could no longer contain their terror and scrambled to flee even more frantically.

Seeing this, the experts of the Flowing Cloud Sect also charged toward the Heaven-Burying Sect’s followers.

Killing intent flashed in Sima Feng’s eyes as he said slowly, ”These followers have their hands stained with the blood of ordinary people. Their hearts have been consumed by darkness; they’re nothing but fanatics. Sparing them would be pointless. Show no mercy. Kill them all.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he shot down toward the fleeing Heaven-Burying Sect followers. With a wave of his hand, the Sword Aura that shot from his dagger sliced dozens of them in two.

Wen Qingye watched Sima Feng charge in, his eyes gazing indifferently at the slaughter below.

”Qingye!”

Ling Wei broke free from Ling Jiao and Cheng Yu’s support, trying to step forward.

”Wait!”

Suddenly, Wen Qingye stamped his foot and shot forward.

The Long Spear in Xia Qianhe’s hand paused, his eyes turning to the same spot as Wen Qingye’s.

Several figures could be seen flying in from the horizon. Their auras were immensely powerful and boundless, and their passage through the air left behind the sound of countless Qi Bursts.

”Xia Qianhe, you’re courting death!”

The leader of the group couldn’t help but roar in fury upon seeing the Long Spear in Xia Qianhe’s hand.

”They’re here, they’re here!” ”Our Heaven-Burying Sect’s experts have arrived!”

When the Heaven-Burying Sect followers saw the newcomers, their faces lit up with delighted surprise, and they all ran toward them.

Sima Feng saw this, and his brow furrowed. He quickly leaped out from the crowd of followers.

The purple-robed elder caught sight of the newcomers in his peripheral vision and was ecstatic. ”Right Protector! Right Protector, come save me!”

’Right Protector?’

Wen Qingye couldn’t help but look over, a grave expression forming on his face.

In that single moment of distraction, the purple-robed elder finally revealed an opening. Gao Changtian seized the opportunity, thrusting his longsword forward. The piercing aura of the attack instantly snapped the elder back to reality.

The purple-robed elder violently pushed his Primordial Qi forward, instantly forming a Primordial Qi Shield in front of him.

”Your life ends here!”

BOOM!

The purple-robed elder was feeling smug for having blocked the sword strike when a giant ruler suddenly appeared in the sky. It was wreathed in clouds and mist, exuding an ethereal aura.

”The Flowing Cloud Ruler!”

”No!” The purple-robed elder stared up at the giant ruler, his eyes widening in terror as he let out a frantic roar.

BANG!

The giant ruler crashed down like a mountain, obscuring the entire sky.

The purple-robed elder was slammed into the ground, driven deep into the earth. Countless cracks, each the size of an arm, radiated outward from his corpse.

”Bastard!”

Seeing the purple-robed elder’s corpse, the rapidly approaching Heaven-Burying Sect Protector felt a surge of rage.

Xia Qianhe slowly walked out and laughed heartily. ”Zhou Kongkong, long time no see. I never thought you’d sink so low as to become the Right Protector of the Heaven-Burying Sect.”

The Heaven-Burying Sect’s Right Protector, Zhou Kongkong, had a dark expression. The experts behind him all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

These were all experts at the Hall Master level, each with profound cultivation. At a minimum, they were at the Life and Death Realm First Layer Heaven, with many at the Life and Death Realm Second Layer or even Third Heaven.

Gao Changtian walked to Wen Qingye’s side and said slowly, ”That’s Zhou Kongkong. He was once an Elder of the Daoist School of Non-action with extremely profound cultivation. Later, for some unknown reason, he committed some utterly monstrous act and was expelled from the school. He then joined the Heaven-Burying Sect and became their Right Protector.”

Wen Qingye nodded. He had naturally studied the Heaven-Burying Sect in detail. Below the Sect Leader, the Great Elder, and the Saintess, the Left and Right Guardians held the highest rank. This man was undoubtedly one of the Heaven-Burying Sect’s top masters.

Zhou Kongkong sneered. ”Xia Qianhe, I never thought your Three Realms Sect would dare to cross our Heaven-Burying Sect. It seems you’ve gotten bolder. Don’t you go squandering the massive foundation Xia Shang left for you.”

Xia Qianhe roared with laughter. ”Hahaha! To be honest, I’ve never taken your Heaven-Burying Sect seriously. You’re just a pack of dogs. Sooner or later, I’ll cook you all up and have myself a feast!”

”You’ve got more guts than Xia Shang, Xia Qianhe.” Zhou Kongkong’s eyes narrowed slightly, then his expression suddenly changed. He shouted, ”We’re leaving!”

The surrounding Heaven-Burying Sect experts were momentarily stunned by Zhou Kongkong’s command, but they didn’t dare hesitate. They immediately turned, gathered the few remaining followers below, and fled into the distance.

In a short while, they had vanished from everyone’s sight.
