Chapter 98

"A bunch of trash! Can't even handle a few juniors! What use are you?!"

Before the words had even faded.

A suffocating pressure, like dark clouds hanging over the head, instantly engulfed the entire battlefield!

Everyone currently fighting involuntarily stopped their movements, their faces showing horror!

A withered and hunched figure, leaning on a heavy black iron staff, slowly emerged from the darkness.

With every step he took, it felt as if he was treading on everyone's heart, causing waves of oppression and fear.

Within those sunken eye sockets, a cold and venomous light, like that of a poisonous snake, flickered.

It was none other than the leader of the Four Evils of Xixia Yipintang, known as 'Evil Overwhelming', Duan Yanqing!

He had actually come in person!

Moreover, judging by the powerful aura radiating from his body, he was clearly a genuine Grandmaster Realm powerhouse!

Although his cultivation base might not compare to the top Five Greats like the Eastern Heretic, Western Poison, Southern Emperor, and Northern Beggar.

Within the Grandmaster Realm, he was absolutely one of the outstanding figures!

Especially his family's inherited 'One Yang Finger', which possessed boundless power and was unpredictable by gods or ghosts!

"Duan... Duan Yanqing!"

Seeing Duan Yanqing appear, Qu Lingfeng and the others' faces all changed drastically at once!

They never expected that this notorious leader of the evils would come out in person!

This was a huge trouble!

Even Hong Qigong, the Northern Beggar watching from the side, changed his expression slightly upon seeing Duan Yanqing.

He naturally recognized this former Crown Prince of the Dali Kingdom.

He also knew the grievances and hatred between him and the Dali Duan family.

He just didn't expect him to have fallen to the point of associating with an evil organization like Xixia Yipintang.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, how could the Dali Duan family produce such a vicious scum?

He thought to himself, why hasn't that mysterious Dragon Island Lord appeared yet?

If he doesn't appear soon, relying solely on juniors like Qu Lingfeng, they恐怕 cannot hold back Duan Yanqing, a Grandmaster expert of long standing.

He had already secretly decided that if the situation turned wrong, he would immediately act to block Duan Yanqing first.

He couldn't just stand by and watch these juniors die miserably at Duan Yanqing's hands.

Duan Yanqing swept his cold gaze over the disheveled subordinates of Yipintang in the arena.

Then he glanced at the dead companions on the ground, a flash of anger passing through his eyes.

He let out a cold snort and slammed his iron staff heavily onto the ground!

"Useless things! Get out of the way!"

Hearing this, Yun Zhonghe and the others, as if granted a great reprieve, hurriedly retreated to the side in a panic, daring not to say another word.

Duan Yanqing's gaze, like that of a poisonous snake, fell upon Qu Lingfeng and the others.

His hoarse voice rang out again, filled with unquestionable authority:

"Hand over the Nine Yin Manual, and let Huang Laoxie come out to face death! Otherwise, today Taohuadao will run with blood!"

Although Qu Lingfeng and the others were terrified in their hearts, they still forced themselves to remain calm and spoke loudly:

"Duan Yanqing! Do not be arrogant! The Nine Yin Manual is not on Taohuadao! My Master is also in seclusion! How dare you act wildly here!"

"Hmph! You refuse the toast only to be forced to drink the forfeit!"

A flash of cold light passed through Duan Yanqing's eyes, and he said no more.

He suddenly slammed his iron staff, and an invisible force erupted!

Immediately after, he extended his right index finger and pointed from afar!

A condensed finger energy, shimmering with faint Jin Guang, tore through the air like an arrow leaving the string, shooting fiercely towards Qu Lingfeng!

Wherever that finger energy passed, the air emitted a groan of being unable to bear the burden!

Its length actually reached an astonishing ten-plus meters!

Its power was so strong it could pierce through gold and stone!

It was the supreme art of the Dali Duan family—the One Yang Finger!

Qu Lingfeng and the others' faces changed drastically!

They never expected that Duan Yanqing's first move would be such a earth-shattering killing technique!

With finger energy of such power, they simply could not resist!

Just at this critical moment, when Qu Lingfeng and the others were almost despairing!

Suddenly!

A majestic and cold voice, like a divine decree from the nine heavens, rolled forth from the depths of Taohuadao, clearly entering everyone's ears:

"A mere Xixia Yipintang dares to act wildly on my Taohuadao?!"

"Do you truly believe that Taohuadao has no one?!"
