Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1387: Chapter 1390: The Alliance of the Dragon and the Phoenix

”Brother Zhu Wen, I think there’s no need to waste words with them. The largest-scale White Tiger Summit hosted by the White Tiger Empire is about to begin soon!

This will be a grand event, even more influential than the previous Five Immortal Gatherings. By then, there will be a Dragon Tiger selection held in the Imperial Capital. I presume the disciples from Qingxu College will attend as well, but those useless fools going there would just be a waste of time.

In my opinion, let’s kill them all, to avoid being an eyesore and embarrassing our Divine Phoenix Continent. After all, Changle Immortal Island will send experts over for inspection.”

The Sword Demon, with his extreme bloodlust, wanted to kill all the disciples of Qingxu College, even though they had no personal enmity with him, simply to avoid disgrace.

On the Divine Phoenix Continent and Heavenly Dragon Continent, the Five Immortal Islands are the strongest five forces.

Both the Phoenix God Empire and the current Heavenly Dynasty Empire are subordinate to Changle Immortal Island.

Previously, the Five Immortal Gatherings served as a confrontation of geniuses among the five islands.

Each island would select outstanding talents from their affiliated forces to participate in the battles.

However, this time, the situation at the White Tiger Summit has slightly altered.

The Five Immortal Islands will be regarded as a single force, competing against the factions on the White Tiger Continent.

The White Tiger Continent has four great empires and a prominent sect, all of which will dispatch geniuses to participate in the White Tiger Summit.

Therefore, this Dragon Phoenix selection is essentially of a similar scale to the previous Five Immortal Gatherings.

The reason why this Dragon Phoenix selection is held by the Phoenix God Empire is mainly that the island masters of the Five Immortal Islands believe this large area is most suitable for hosting such a grand event.

Although they usually operate independently and often engage in conflicts, they united together prior to this White Tiger Summit.

After all, they now represent the territories of the Divine Phoenix Continent and Heavenly Dragon Continent, engaging in an unprecedented genius duel against the four nations and one sect of the White Tiger Continent.

As for what happens after the White Tiger Summit, no one is considering that now. Be it hostilities or continued reconciliation, it doesn’t matter for the time being.

The Sword Demon’s intent to kill all the disciples of Qingxu College stems from the tradition that Qingxu College is entitled to choose six individuals to participate in the Dragon Phoenix selection.

Phoenix God College, on the other hand, has twelve slots, exactly twice that of Qingxu College.

Yet, the Sword Demon still feels that the useless fools of Qingxu College don’t deserve those six slots. By killing them all, those six slots would default to Phoenix God College.

His thinking is brutally relentless and straightforward.

Ying Tian Xia frowned, disliking the Sword Demon’s casual inclination to resort to killing.

However, he ultimately didn’t speak up.

Zhu Wen, while also considering the Sword Demon too vicious, thought it made no difference to him whether the disciples of Qingxu College lived or died.

He would be more than happy if Qingxu College were completely destroyed.

”As long as I’m here, don’t think you will succeed.”

Shangguan Hong stood firm, without stepping back, despite the Sword Demon’s aura growing increasingly intense, maintaining his martial path with unwavering resolve.

”Kill!”

The Sword Demon suddenly leaped from atop the statue, unleashing a frenzied sword beam aimed at Shangguan Hong on the ground.

”Seven-Colored Divine Arrow!”

Shangguan Hong unleashed his ultimate move right away.

After battling Ling Xiao, although he lost an arm, his strength remained undiminished.

Sword and arrow met in the air, creating an explosion of astonishing sound.

Involuntarily, Shangguan Hong was sent tumbling backward, flipping over a dozen times, unable to stop.

Too strong!

Shangguan Hong realized in horror that facing the Sword Demon, even a single move was incredibly difficult to withstand.

This was despite his increased strength.

The Sword Demon stood motionless, refraining from further attacks.

Even he was somewhat amazed.

Shangguan Hong blocking his strike, though not forcing him back, required him to circulate his inner strength to offset the invading force within his body, making immediate pursuit impossible.

”Shangguan Hong, I’ve underestimated you, but within three moves, you will surely die. Do you still wish to continue?”

The Sword Demon asked coldly.

”To die without regrets!”

Shangguan Hong finally steadied himself, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

This clash revealed the vast gap between himself and a Third Cave Sky Realm Martial Artist.

Nonetheless, he chose to face it rather than flee as before.

He would confront it bravely.

Even in death, he would die a gloriously remarkable death.

”Very well, I’ll grant you your wish!”

The Sword Demon’s figure flickered, his black sword thrust again, like a venomous snake’s fangs, aiming straight for Shangguan Hong’s throat.

”Seven-Colored Phoenix!”

Shangguan Hong shouted defiantly, pushing forward, the mighty seven-colored phoenix charging at the Sword Demon.

The Sword Demon smirked coldly.

In his view, Shangguan Hong’s actions were akin to throwing eggs against a rock, futilely resisting.

The remaining disciples and teachers of Qingxu College bowed their heads, unwilling to witness this tragic scene.

Having just witnessed their companions falling in battle, would they be consigned to see another equally grim scene unfold?

”Aang~~”

At that moment, a dragon roar echoed from the sky, and a figure treaded through the air, striking directly at the Sword Demon’s Sword Qi.

The Seven-Colored Phoenix, in concert with this person’s powerful punch, forced the arrogant Sword Demon back three or four steps, leaving him standing there furiously, staring at the newcomer.

”Who are you?”

”Joshua Long! Ling Xiao’s junior!”

The newcomer was indeed Joshua Long, who had just broken through to the Second Dongtian Realm. He intended to consolidate his cultivation level, but just as he prepared to retreat into seclusion again, he sensed a disturbance outside.

”Shangguan Hong, are you alright?”

Joshua Long asked without even turning his head.

”I won’t die, but this guy is strong, and I can’t handle him alone.”

Shangguan Hong’s face lit up with joy.

Though Joshua Long wasn’t the Sword Demon’s match either, together, at least they wouldn’t be easily defeated by the Sword Demon.

”As long as you won’t die.”

Joshua Long turned to other Qingxu College disciples and teachers, a smirk on his face: ”People call you trash, and you really live up to it. They mean to take your lives, yet you don’t even dare to resist. Are you all reincarnations of cowardly turtles?”

His words were harsh, yet no one had the face to refute him.

Their fear of the Sword Demon rendered them even afraid to fight back.

In reality, not fighting back meant death. Fighting back also meant death, but fighting back meant dying gloriously. This choice wasn’t out of reach for them, merely suppressed by the Sword Demon’s terrifying killing aura.

With Joshua Long’s fierce shout and the influence of Dragon Power, they all realized the situation.

With Joshua Long and Shangguan Hong leading, could their hundreds of people here couldn’t hold back a single Sword Demon?

”Let’s go for it! Either way, it’s death, dammit!”

An instructor of the First Cave Heaven Realm drew his weapon, standing beside Joshua Long and Shangguan Hong.

”Being humiliated to such an extent and still not daring to strike, we’re too pathetic otherwise. I refuse to be a coward any longer.”

Another person stepped forward.

With the first and second now emboldened, others soon gathered courage.

In the end, only three or four remained cowering in the back, while everyone else stood firm in resolve.
