"Kill them all?"
Xia Yanlong, Duanmu Tao, and the others were all stunned.
They had just engaged in a fierce battle, unable to determine a victor in such a short time, resulting in a drawn fight. Now, with trouble at the Great Flame Cave Sky, nearly half of the Xia family’s Entering Saint powerhouses had rushed back to investigate the situation.
Even if they pursued them now, they couldn’t retain the opposition. If a real battle ensued, given the mismatched combat power, it was uncertain who would kill whom; otherwise, they wouldn’t have watched helplessly as their foes left!
"Could it be... Brother Blade has reached Entering Saint?"
Duanmu Tao’s heart stirred, and he blurted out the question.
To dare speak such words knowing that those Monster Warriors were of Entering Saint level, according to Duanmu Tao’s understanding of him, there could only be one explanation: Su Changkong had also achieved the status of Martial Saint! 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
That would also explain how Su Changkong arrived so quickly; only the flight speed of a Martial Saint could barely manage it.
Xia Yanlong also harbored a tinge of doubt in his heart. Even if Su Changkong truly had become a Martial Saint, facing nine Entering Saint Monster Warriors, adding just a newly ascended Su Changkong might still not be enough to trouble them!
Su Changkong didn’t offer much of an explanation, fearing that the Monster Warriors might escape too far to catch up. Dropping a remark, Su Changkong rode a crane and sped off in the direction Duanmu Tao had indicated, vanishing like a flash of white light.
"Flame Emperor... what do we do?"
An elder of the Xia family, dressed in gray robes, couldn’t help but speak up. He obviously knew the identity of Dao Wufeng, as the strongest of the Martial Saints, who became famous after a battle at Heavenly Dragon Mountain. Over a year ago, during the Mirror Heaven and Earth event, facing the Blood Divine Child of the Ancient Demon Sect, he demonstrated overwhelming combat prowess, truly living up to his title.
More than a year had passed, and Dao Wufeng might very well have entered Saint status, but to start so recklessly; the enemy was extraordinary, comprised of no less than nine Entering Saint Monster Warriors!
"Follow him!"
After slight hesitation, Xia Yanlong instructed; they couldn’t just watch Su Changkong walk into danger. If the situation turned sour, they could simply retreat!
"Yes!"
Duanmu Tao, Gu Feiyang, and two others responded, promptly following in the direction Su Changkong had pursued.
"Senior Dankang, will Lord Qin truly aid us in existing eternally?"
At this moment, nine Entering Saint Monster Warriors had flown far from the Great Flame Imperial City. On the way, the man dressed in beast hide tentatively asked the man in the bone mask.
Upon hearing this, Dankang calmly shook his head: "We can only choose to believe him... Besides, hasn’t he allowed us to exist for so long already? Without him, we would have dissipated long ago."
The other Monster Warriors nodded reluctantly.
They emerged over a year ago during the Mirror Heaven and Earth event, projections cast by the power of the Great Divine Seed, once famous powerhouses in these lands that had fallen for various reasons, harboring deep obsessions.
They were meant to dissipate once their energy ran out, but Qin Miesheng found them one by one, coaxing them into serving him in exchange for sustaining their existence.
Qin Miesheng managed to do just that with a special technique, transforming them into unique Monster Warriors and even bolstering the strength of some projections that hadn’t reached the Entering Saint level, forcibly raising them to that tier.
Qin Miesheng also promised them that once his mission was accomplished, he would set them free, allowing them to start anew.
But they were aware of Qin Miesheng’s identity, possibly the legendary Demon Monster, and whether a Demon Monster would keep his promise was unknown to them. Nevertheless, their only option was to believe, or else they would dissipate from this world unwillingly!
Fortunately, everything had gone smoothly so far. They had lured Xia Yanlong and other Entering Saint powerhouses out, while Qin Miesheng took the opportunity to infiltrate the Great Flame Cave Sky, likely achieving his goal!
"Hmm?"
The nine Entering Saint Monster Warriors each harbored their own thoughts, but all of a sudden, their expressions changed in unison, halting their flight to look back.
They were thousands of miles away from the Great Flame City, yet in the distant night sky, a white silhouette approached rapidly. It was a crane, and atop it was a stern man clad in black.
"Is that... Dao Wufeng?"
One of the Entering Saint Monster Warriors had a flicker of recognition and immediately identified the person coming towards them.
Dao Wufeng, this was the man with a great grudge against Qin Miesheng.
Previously, Qin Miesheng had hastily sent out five of his projection warriors in an attempt to eradicate him, but Dao Wufeng easily slaughtered them.
Latter, Dao Wufeng had entered the Mirror Heaven and Earth, forcing Qin Miesheng to abandon his plan and secretly amass strength, ultimately creating nine Entering Saint Monster Warriors all at once.
In fact, Qin Miesheng had hesitated about sending one or two to the Spirit Taoist Sect to eliminate Su Changkong, whom he feared.
Ultimately, Qin Miesheng decided against it. He needed to seize his own painstakingly cultivated body, for with it, he could truly be resurrected and re-emerge in the world, dominating all!
As for Su Changkong? He could be crushed effortlessly later!
Weighing the options, Qin Miesheng decided to act prudently and dispatched the Entering Saint Monster Warriors straight to the Great Flame City, rather than detouring to Su Changkong, lest alerting the Xia family and increasing complications.
Yet, what none of the present Entering Saint Monster Warriors expected was for Su Changkong, who had a major vendetta against Qin Miesheng, to appear right before them of his own accord!
"Elder Blade!"
