If this were to truly happen, allowing Qin Miesheng to get what he wants by taking Hong Zhenxiang, the consequences are unimaginable. Although they would be spared for the moment, it wouldn’t be long before a real Demon Monster appears in this world!
And according to the Ancient Scriptures, these Demon Monsters exist for destruction, often wiping out entire cities and nations. The Great Flame Empire will face the same threat!
Therefore, Xia Yanlong made a decisive decision, preferring to wage a great battle against this group of Monster Warriors that have Entered Saint rather than giving up Hong Zhenxiang.
"Then... die!"
All the Monster Warriors’ eyes shone with a thick murderous intent, choosing to strike without hesitation.
"Wipe them all out!"
Xia Yanlong faced them without fear, the Dragon Slaying Divine Sword emerging in his hand, while Duanmu Tao and the other powerful figures of the Xia family who had Entered Saint each displayed their divine might, battling with the group of Monster Warriors that had Entered Saint!
Tonight was destined to be a night none of the residents of the Great Flame City could ever forget, a sleepless night where the sky above their city seemed almost torn apart by the fierce battle, the hanging moon threatened to fall from the heavens.
This was a battle between Entered Saint powerhouses that the Flame Empire hadn’t experienced in years, and it involved nearly twenty of these formidable combatants!
In the Great Flame Imperial City, there are channels that lead to the Xia family’s Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.
The Great Flame Cave Sky, where birds chirp and flowers bloom, a perpetual spring, with Spirit Grass everywhere, and ample Spiritual Energy, was like an earthly paradise, and only the core disciples of the Xia family had the chance to meditate and cultivate there.
A young man in brocade rushed through the Spiritual Mountains, his heart heavy: "Father Emperor has gone out to meet the enemy, it is likely that Qin Miesheng has arrived, I must go and see how Hong brothers are doing!"
This young man in brocade was Xia Yanyi, his face grave, having already received news knowing that a large number of Monster Warriors that had Entered Saint were attacking, most likely for Hong Zhenxiang.
In one of the fragrant, Spiritual Energy-filled mountains of the Great Flame Cave Sky, the place where Hong Zhenxiang cultivated and nursed his nature, everything within a hundred yards of where he sat cross-legged had been eroded by a strange power, turning into a desolate land of death!
Hong Zhenxiang looked up, his eyes flashing with a red light, filled with a violent aura. He grinned, revealing his teeth, "Brother Xia Yan... you’ve come!"
"You..." A bad premonition dawned on Xia Yanyi.
...
Spirit Taoist Sect, Heaven Silkworm Cave.
Blade Nurturing Art (10th realm Shaking Ancestral Brilliance 81%)
"Using the energy of a Golden Core to practice the Blade Nurturing Art, nourishing the Blade Soul, in just three months, my Blade Soul has become more concise and sharp, and in no time at all, my Blade Nurturing Art can step into the 11th realm."
Su Changkong opened his attribute panel, quite satisfied.
Three months had passed since he Entered Saint, and Su Changkong hadn’t been idle, cultivating the Blade Nurturing Art, promoting his Cultivation Technique and Martial Arts Skills to the 11th realm, which would lead to a qualitative change, similar to his previous Guiding Technique.
Su Changkong looked forward to what changes would happen once his Blade Nurturing Art reached the 11th realm!
"Hm? The Xia family has business with me?"
At this moment, Su Changkong was suddenly startled; he immediately took out an item from his Bag of Book Fragrance, the Identity Token of the Guest Elder of the Xia family.
The Identity Token was flashing with light; it was the Xia family reaching out to him!
"Elder Blade, we are under attack by nine Entered Saint Monster Warriors, seemingly after Hong Zhenxiang!"
The voice of Xia Yanjie resounded from the Token.
Xia Yanjie hesitated briefly when the nine Entered Saint Monster Warriors appeared and Duanmu Tao was engaged in a great battle. He then promptly used the Identity Token to convey this message to Su Changkong, knowing that Hong Zhenxiang was Su Changkong’s friend, and that the Xia family had agreed to let Hong Zhenxiang stay within the Great Flame Cave Sky because of Su Changkong.
"Qin Miesheng? He has appeared!"
Su Changkong’s eyes sharpened instantly.
Qin Miesheng, indeed, had not stayed quiet for long. After accumulating his forces, through some means, he cultivated nine Entered Saint Monster Warriors and immediately attacked the Great Flame City, trying to abduct Hong Zhenxiang!
"Qin Miesheng... this time I will surely smash you to pieces!"
Su Changkong got up without hesitation.
"I’ll be there in a moment."
He transmitted a single sentence through the Identity Token and did not wait for any reaction from Xia Yanjie’s end. He left the Heaven Silkworm Cave, soared into the sky, and flew toward Great Flame City.
Now that Qin Miesheng had begun to act, aiming to snatch away Hong Zhenxiang, who had inherited everything from Pang Shengwu, Su Changkong could not stand idly by!
Moreover, the Mirror Master had left a will; to inherit his Great Divine Seed, one must slay a real Demon Monster, and Qin Miesheng was very likely a real Demon Monster!
It would be best to slay Qin Miesheng this time to eliminate future troubles!
"White Crane Escapes!"
Su Changkong gathered Spiritual Energy to form a phantom white crane, and not just that, he directly used the energy from his Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core to propel White Crane Escapes.
"Hui!"
The white crane let out a cry, its feathers shimmering with a faint spirit light, and with each flap of its wings, he vanished hundreds of yards in an instant!
Su Changkong’s own flying speed was about the same as a typical Martial Saint, but when he exerted a flying-class Pseudo Divine Skill, powered by the Mysterious Turtle Golden Core, his flying speed surpassed ninety percent of Martial Saints!
The distance between Spirit Taoist Sect and Great Flame Imperial City could be crossed in less than half an hour.
...
Above Great Flame City, clouds were torn apart revealing the pitch-black sky.
The battle between the two sides, however, had already reached its climax.
