NOVPUB"Good...Good! Kill! Wipe them all out!"
Showered with continual praise, Xia Yanlong marvelled at Su Changkong’s might while giving the order. Taking advantage of the shock from Su Changkong’s arrow, he commanded the three Saint Warriors in his own ranks to join the battlefield, intent on eradicating the attacking Monster Warriors.
"Go... Don’t get entangled in a fight!"
The skeletal-faced man roared. His body was enveloped in black mist that writhed as if alive. Among the group of Monster Warriors, he was the strongest because he had been a Saint Warrior in life, not merely a Monster Warrior like the others.
"Run! Flee!"
The other Monster Warriors were also terrified. They had been fighting against Xia Yanlong and others for so long without casualties, but Su Changkong was clearly different from the other Saint Warriors. With Divine Skill level moves at his fingertips, anyone weaker than him could not hope to engage with him for long; they’d be overwhelmingly chopped down, far from his equal in a fight!
The group of Monster Warriors scattered, each fleeing in different directions, but was Su Changkong willing to let them escape?
Executing the Spiritual Deer Steps on Sky, propelled by his Golden Core True Essence, Su Changkong took a step that spanned a hundred yards, instantly closing the distance. His movements over short distances were virtually untraceable.
Su Changkong materialized behind a Monster Warrior wielding a hammer. Clenching his teeth, the Monster Warrior swung the huge hammer, which possessed the terrifying power to shatter a small island.
White Tiger Roars and Kills!
Unflinching, Su Changkong threw a punch, the force of the White Tiger Roars and Kills punch inwardly spiraling.
"Roar!"
The hammer and fist collided, and the force carried in the punch exploded, causing shockwaves and disintegration. The stout Monster Warrior’s hammer shattered inch by inch. The relentless punch broke through the hammer’s remains and continued to crash into the warrior’s chest, an ear-splitting roar exploding in his Sea of Consciousness.
"Crack!"
With a fearsome expression, the stout Monster Warrior’s body, like shattered porcelain, burst apart. Reduced to dust, he vanished without a trace, leaving behind only Demon Monster Crystal Cores.
A one-sided slaughter!
Against Su Changkong, these once fierce Saint Monster Warriors couldn’t last a single round!
Devoid of the courage to continue the fight, they all fled in every direction.
When Su Changkong took a few more steps to chase after a fleeing Monster Warrior, his Blade Soul hummed, his Iron-Cutting Sword tore through the void, slicing his opponent clean in two like a piece of timber. He stopped because the remaining Monster Warriors had already disappeared without a trace.
On Xia Yanlong’s end, the Golden Dragon formed by golden Sword Qi strangled another Monster Warrior to dust, after which he too stopped his assault.
"Three of the strongest got away..."
Duanmu Tao and Gu Feiyang spoke in hushed tones. The three strongest Monster Warriors, including the skeletal-faced man, had no desire to fight and fled the fastest. Both Duanmu and Gu, having recently become Saint Warriors, lacked the capability to stop them.
Su Changkong did not pursue further, knowing it was hard to eliminate them all once they scattered.
Out of the nine Saint Monster Warriors, six were slain on the spot—a grand victory!
"Elder Blade, your power after becoming a Saint Warrior is completely different from others... When I first became a Saint, I could not compare to you at all!"
Xia Yanlong couldn’t help but express his astonishment.
Xia Yanlong, who became a Saint Warrior through his own cultivation, had perfected the two unsurpassed techniques passed down from his family, producing two Divine Seeds within himself, reaching the second layer Heaven of Saint realm, building a solid foundation. He was among the top Saint Warriors in the nine countries, aside from those in the Ancient Holy Country. Even so, he had to admit that Su Changkong now had the strength to rank in the forefront among the Saint Warriors of the nine countries.
One could hardly believe he was a Warrior who had only ascended to Saint realm in the past year or so.
Su Changkong had only ascended to Saint realm three months ago, but his cultivation had been deep and had finally surged forth. Through his own extensive cultivation, he had carved his own path, possessing Divine Skills unique in the world. Combined with several Martial Arts cultivated to the threshold of Divine Skills, he made such a stunning breakthrough that left onlookers agape!
Of course, the main reason was that this group of Monster Warriors was too weak; most were just at the level of having newly ascended to Saint realm by refining a Divine Seed, making them an easy target for Su Changkong to kill.
"Your Majesty, Flame Emperor, we should return to Great Flame City first," Su Changkong suggested, foregoing further discussion on the matter.
Su Changkong was somewhat concerned about Hong Zhenxiang’s situation.
"Yes, let’s head back!"
Xia Yanlong was equally worried about the safety of his own Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.
The party of five immediately made their way back to Great Flame City.
In the heart of Great Flame City, amidst the Imperial City, clusters of buildings had collapsed, the aftermath of the tremors within the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.
With a slight intent, Flame Emperor Xia Yanlong revealed a gateway amidst the rubble, leading to the family’s Cave Heaven and Blessed Land. The group filed in one after another.
Inside the Great Flame Cave Sky, where there should have been birdsong and fragrant flowers, and an eternally spring-like ambience, it now felt somewhat cold, with the air filled with turbulent Spiritual Energy.
"Family Head!"
Many disciples of the Xia Yan family greeted Xia Yanlong upon his return, appearing visibly shaken as they paid their respects.
Looking up, Su Changkong noticed that distant Spiritual Mountains had collapsed, and a huge hole had been torn in the sky of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land. Three Saint Warriors of the Xia Yan family were busy harnessing nature’s spiritual energy to mend the damage.
Noticing Su Changkong and the others’ arrival, a brocade-garbed young man hurried over—it was Xia Yanyi!
However, Xia Yanyi’s complexion was pale and his clothes were tattered. One of his arms appeared to have been blasted off, crudely treated for the wound.
"Father, Elder Blade…" Xia Yanyi greeted them with a wan face.
Anxiously, Xia Yanlong inquired, "What happened just now?"
