Chapter 417: The Emperor Arrives at Dagan, Becoming a Target
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As the sword tip touched the grand array, Qingguang didn't even last for a single breath, shattering like fragile glass!
The Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenixes let out an ear-piercing wail.
Quickly, Qingguang's form dissipated into countless specks in the air.
The short sword continued its descent.
The towering hall of the Martial Temple cracked open, revealing thirteen golden Dharmic Bodies seated within.
Boom!
As the short sword reached mid-air, one of the slightly shorter three-zhang-tall golden bodies disintegrated, transforming back into countless incense offerings.
The Martial Temple's Ancestor, with his toes curled, stared blankly at the sky.
His eyes became increasingly clear, and the stupor of the past gradually faded, only because he sensed the impending fall.
This brief moment of clarity represented endless torment.
The Ancestor's eyes were filled with intense fear, and under the pressure of the short sword, he mustered all his strength, managing only to tremble and extend a palm.
With fingertips that had just been picking between his toes, he reached towards the sword blade, seemingly trying to block it for a moment.
Clang!
In this seemingly slowed-down scene, a crisp sound of metal collision suddenly reverberated.
The loud noise almost deafened everyone.
The source of the collision was something that flew out from the Armor Academy.
It was a small purple-gold alchemy furnace, rolling in the air, carrying the black smoke from the exploded furnace, and then it smashed into the short sword with force.
Fine cracks appeared on the alchemy furnace.
But the short sword it hit, which had carried overwhelming might just a moment ago, trembled violently and shattered into countless fragments.
Thump, thump, thump.
The alchemy furnace fell to the ground and rolled a few times, capturing everyone's attention.
"..."
The Spirit Emperor silently watched the shattered short sword.
Then, he turned his gaze towards the figure beside the furnace.
The youth in the black robe slowly bent down and picked up the furnace at his feet.
The furnace was clearly a treasure left behind by the Southern Yang Sect.
But after all, it was just an alchemy tool, and even if it was sturdy, using it for a battle was too much of a stretch.
The reason it could shatter the short sword was not only because of the furnace itself but also, more importantly, the youth's inherent power.
"So, you're the treasure-stealing thief?"
The Spirit Emperor sneered, summoning back the other sword that had been aimed at Ling Xi earlier.
It had to be said that in that moment, he finally understood why the Old Dog had released him.
Within the Southern Yang Sect, aside from the Old Dog, only he could suppress this thief.
Suddenly, he pointed the sword tip at Shen Yi, tilting his head, "Then, I'll start by eating you first."
"Hiss!"
Li Qingfeng slowly descended, wanting to take his senior brother to Shen Yi's side. He glanced sideways and saw that the Nie Jun he had thrown aside earlier had disappeared from his original spot.
Instead, the senior sister was still covering her wound and rushing towards Shen Yi.
"Where's the person?"
Li Qingfeng's heart suddenly raced. Based on his understanding of Nie Jun, even if he had only one breath left, he would definitely fight this old demon to the death.
In the sky above, where no one could sense them,
Nie Jun lay on the Auspicious Cloud, barely managing to open his eyes, his voice weak yet carrying a chilling intent, "Let go of me."
"Let go of you so you can go to your death?"
Ye Wenxuan stood with her hands clasped, a warm current enveloping Nie Jun, "You know I can't interfere. I can't let your choices ruin the efforts I've put in over the years; that wouldn't make sense."
"It's a Crimson-Eyed Azure Phoenix, a demonic being that shouldn't exist within the Southern Yang Sect."
Upon hearing this, Nie Jun struggled forcefully but couldn't break free from the warm current's restraint, "I just want you to let me go... Also, since it's so powerful, aren't you worried that it will destroy your Grandmaster's dream after it's full?"
"If it had the chance, none of you would have the opportunity to see this Grandmaster."
Ye Wenxuan looked on without joy or sorrow, "That self-proclaimed last disciple of the Southern Yang Sect, Zhang Daoyou, wouldn't dare let this Phoenix Bird break through to the Reverting Void Realm."
"Also, it seems you like to blame the mistakes you make on me."
As she spoke, the woman lifted her lips slightly, then looked down again, "Now, just watch the mess you've made..."
Ye Wenxuan's words abruptly cut short.
This was because Shen Yi below finally moved, and with a sudden burst of speed, he rushed out.
His fingers tightly gripped the alchemy furnace, and he viciously smashed it into the Spirit Emperor's forehead.
Bang!
The Spirit Emperor didn't even have time to see Shen Yi's action before he received a solid blow to the head.
He fell towards the ground, quickly flapping his flame feathers to stabilize his body.
In disbelief, he touched the blood on his forehead, and the Spirit Emperor roared towards the sky, "How dare you injure me?!"
His prey had made him bleed!
"..."
The lightning-fast scene left the crowd below in a daze.
Even Li Qingfeng momentarily forgot about searching for his senior brother, Nie Jun.
Shen Yi glanced at the alchemy furnace in his hand.
He then wiped away the bloodstains with his fingers and brought it to his nose, taking a light sniff.
The next moment, the young man calmly licked the bloodstain.
As if tasting the blood.
Under his disheveled hair, a deep murderous intent suddenly flashed in Shen Yi's eyes.
Under the gaze of those pitch-black eyes.
The Spirit Emperor suddenly sensed something amiss.
He forcefully suppressed the eerie chill in his heart.
Without any hesitation, his white cloak fluttered as he spread his wings, and with a dazzling sword radiance erupting from the short sword in his hand, his entire body transformed into a streak of light and charged towards Shen Yi!
"Give it to this Emperor..."
Before he could finish his menacing words.
The arm holding the sword was already firmly grasped by Shen Yi, who then struck him with the furnace.
Bang! Bang! Pfft!
As Shen Yi held him, his other hand mercilessly smashed the furnace down.
The final change in sound was the Spirit Emperor's face becoming a bloody mess, with each strike splattering blood and flesh.
"Let go!"
The Spirit Emperor struggled desperately but couldn't free his arm. Suddenly, feathers sprouted from his skin, and a beak appeared on his face. A pair of enormous fiery feathers slammed into Shen Yi, pushing him over a hundred zhang away.
"Taste my treasure!"
He reached for his waist, but before he could find a useful treasure from the pile given by Old Dog.
Looking up, he saw Shen Yi in the distance already extending his palm.
On his tiger mouth was a dazzling golden arrow, its tip aimed precisely at the Spirit Emperor's glabella.
The Demon Command Golden Arrow!
In an instant, the arrow silently pierced through the Spirit Emperor's skull, quickly transforming into golden radiance and entering his body.
"Ah! Ah!"
Amidst the painful wails, the Spirit Emperor's silver armor rapidly peeled off, and his body swelled at a visible rate.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a crimson phoenix bird that blocked out the sky, its colossal form no less impressive than the illusion in the array, and even more magnificent.
A true giant phoenix!
Golden radiance seemed to be hidden within its feathers, and with a casual flap of its wings, fierce winds carrying fiery waves swept through.
With just one chaotic spin in the air, the entire Dagan Imperial City seemed to transform into a massive furnace.
The golden radiance from the Demon Command Golden Arrow had seemingly locked onto its demonic body, but the intense pain only drove the Spirit Emperor into further frenzy.
Each of its movements was akin to a natural disaster for the people below in Dagan.
"Stop it!"
Ling Xi waved her sleeve, and her spiritual pressure rolled upwards, lifting the falling sea of fire.
"How do we kill this beast?" Li Qingfeng took out various unfinished treasures, also trying to intercept the fiery rain. The injuries caused by the fire were not something ordinary cultivators could withstand.
Just then.
Shen Yi stared at the crimson-eyed azure phoenix circling in the sky, his gaze growing deeper.
A 'chi' sound suddenly echoed from the horizon.
As if a fire had ignited.
Behind Shen Yi, two golden flames burst forth, expanding in the wind and transforming into two golden flame seas that also blocked out the sky, resembling wings.
With a slight wave, the golden flame wings captured the rain of fire, merging it with the golden flames.
The golden flame pattern on his glabella became increasingly dazzling, almost as if it were about to detach.
Boom!
Shen Yi suddenly soared into the air, and the golden flame seas transformed into wings that slammed into the crimson-eyed azure phoenix, sending it flying backwards.
He closely followed, spreading his wings again to wrap around the phoenix's neck.
He grabbed the crimson feathers on the Spirit Emperor's forehead with one hand and raised the furnace to strike again, pounding relentlessly on the same spot as if exhausting his strength.
The vast power even made this bloodline-superior great demon feel a chill.
This majestic force, as vast as an ocean, was concentrated in the tiny figure shrouded by the black robe, channeled into the furnace in his hand.
With focus and precision, he shattered the Spirit Emperor's skull.
The two pairs of wings flapped as they fell towards the ground, resembling golden and crimson streaks of light that slammed into Dagan.
Bang!
With his foot on the Spirit Emperor's neck, Shen Yi completely restrained its struggles.
The furnace was already filled with meat bits, and he continuously struck it, smashing the enormous head, which resembled a small mountain, into shattered bone fragments.
"Heh..."
Shen Yi's breath was rapid, and his entire black robe was drenched in blood, clinging wetly to his body.
He slowly straightened his body, threw away the furnace, and tasted the meat bits on his fist.
A relaxed smile finally appeared on his face.
If he guessed correctly, this was probably the most precious food he had obtained within the Southern Yang Sect.
"Cough, cough."
Looking at the figure exuding malevolent aura, Li Qingfeng swallowed hard, causing his throat to spasm.
Grandmaster, please help.
That ferocious demon was still smiling...
