Chapter 115 - 107: 30-Year Feud, To the Death

"Wang Chongyang, a twelfth-generation disciple of Dragon Tiger Mountain, invites the Elder Celestial Master to come out and face his death!"

The rolling sound waves, accompanied by surging Gang Qi, swept through every corner of Dragon Tiger Mountain like a torrent.

The voice was faint at first, but when he reached the word "invites," it suddenly soared.

When the final word, "death," was uttered, it was like a clap of thunder on a clear day!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

The terrifying sound waves seemed to transform into thunderbolts, completely enveloping all of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

In that instant, countless Daoists, High-level Practitioners, and Zhenrens of Dragon Tiger Mountain looked up in terror, completely bewildered.

They could feel the terrifying power carried within the voice.

If it had been directed solely at them, a single word likely would have been enough to roar them to death!

For the Daoists who knew Wang Xiao, tempestuous waves crashed within their hearts.

’How could a disciple who had only been in cultivation for a little over thirty years possess such terrifying power?! And he wanted the Elder Celestial Master to come out and die? What was going on?!’

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

In an instant, from the peaks and halls of Dragon Tiger Mountain, figures in yellow Daoist Robes suddenly flew out!

They were the Three Capitals and Five Masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Ten Directions Jungle, their status second only to the Celestial Master Zhang Lingxiao!

Among them was Wang Xiao’s master, Shou Chengzi.

The weakest among them, like Shou Chengzi, had reached the Lower Rank Lifebound Realm.

The strongest were the Three Capitals, who had reached the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

"Who is that person outside? Is it really Wang Chongyang?"

"How is that possible? He’s only been in cultivation for thirty years. The power in that roar is definitely something only a Tribulation Crossing Realm Cultivator who has passed three Celestial Tribulations could possess!"

"Shou Chengzi, you are Wang Chongyang’s master. Is that his voice?"

Shou Chengzi’s face was also filled with doubt.

When he had last parted with his disciple, the young man had only been at the Entering the Hall Realm.

Only a short sixteen years had passed. ’How could my disciple suddenly break through to the Late Stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm? This completely defies all logic.’

However, listening to the voice, he was certain it was indeed his disciple!

"Hmph. The Sect Leader is in secluded cultivation right now and cannot be disturbed. We’ll know what’s going on if we just go take a look. With so many of us, do we really need to be afraid of him?!" Qian Yunshan said, his eyes narrowing.

He had participated in the campaign to exterminate the Dragon King alongside Wang Xiao years ago.

Back then, Wang Xiao was just a minor character, only able to hang around the periphery.

He didn’t believe that in a mere sixteen years, Wang Xiao could break through five or six tiers to reach the Late Stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

After all, he himself had cultivated bitterly for nearly a thousand years and had only just managed to pass a single Celestial Tribulation.

Shou Chengzi spoke up. "Yes. Regardless of whether it’s Chongyang or not, for someone to be shouting at the gates of Dragon Tiger Mountain, we should go and see."

He flew eagerly toward the outside of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Because, he had a faint feeling that this person was indeed his disciple, Wang Chongyang.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

In an instant, the Three Capitals and Five Masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain, as well as the various Stewards—nearly all of the sect’s upper echelon—flew toward the mountain gate.

A moment later, Shou Chengzi saw Wang Xiao standing at the gate of Dragon Tiger Mountain, whom he hadn’t seen in sixteen years.

His eyes widened abruptly as he blurted out:

"Chongyang, it’s really you! What are you doing?!"

He couldn’t understand why his disciple had suddenly become so strong.

Even less could he understand why his disciple wanted to kill their Sect Leader Senior Brother!

The joy of their long-awaited reunion was completely replaced by a series of bewildering questions.

Wang Xiao looked at Shou Chengzi, his gaze calm.

"Master, that Zhang Lingxiao attempted to seize my Yin Spirit and destroy my body. My coming here today to kill him is merely an eye for an eye."

Hearing Wang Xiao’s words, Shou Chengzi’s eyes narrowed, and he cried out involuntarily:

"Impossible! Sect Leader Senior Brother has always been righteous! How could he commit such a shameless act, especially against a disciple of our own sect!"

Beside them, Qian Yunshan snorted coldly.

"Wang Chongyang, I think you’ve been possessed by a demon and lost your mind! This is Dragon Tiger Mountain, not a place for you to run wild. If you dare to act so presumptuously again, even if you are in the Tribulation Crossing Realm, we will ensure you never leave this place alive!"

Among their Three Capitals and Five Masters, there were four of them, including himself, in the Tribulation Crossing Realm. Of the others, one had passed two Celestial Tribulations, and one had even passed three!

Even if their opponent was in the Saint Realm, they would still be able to put up a fight!

Therefore, Qian Yunshan was completely confident and unafraid.

A junior had come to Dragon Tiger Mountain, clamoring to kill the Celestial Master.

If they all remained silent, Dragon Tiger Mountain would become the laughingstock of the Cultivation Realm.

"Never leave alive... Fine!"

The moment he spoke, Wang Xiao took a step and vanished from his spot in an instant.

No one present saw how Wang Xiao disappeared.

It was as if he had merged with Heaven and Earth.

By the time they came to their senses, Wang Xiao had already appeared beside Qian Yunshan.

"Ah!"

Qian Yunshan felt an indescribable pressure instantly bear down on him.

The hair on his entire body stood on end, and a powerful sense of alarm rose in his heart.

This was the special perception that Tribulation Crossing Realm Cultivators had for mortal danger!

’How is this possible?!’

Looking at Wang Xiao, who was now right in front of him, Qian Yunshan couldn’t stop a look of terror from rising on his face.

’How could this person kill me in a single move?! Unless he’s not in the Tribulation Crossing Realm at all, but has already reached the Saint Realm! But, a Saint in his thirties... Impossible! Absolutely impossible! He must have used some special Secret Technique to forcibly raise his strength.’

At this thought, Qian Yunshan roared, and a brilliant copper coin suddenly rose from his body, echoing with a roar like that of a dragon and a tiger.

From the surface of the coin, an intertwined dragon and tiger abruptly flew out!

It was his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Dragon Tiger Magical Coins!

He had refined this Magical Treasure for seven or eight hundred years. Even a Saint couldn’t possibly take his life in an instant!

If he could just delay for a single moment, the other Tribulation Crossing Realm Cultivators could come to his aid, and he would survive!

The Dragon Tiger Magical Coins erupted with a dazzling divine light and shot violently toward Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao’s gaze remained calm. Gang Qi circulated endlessly within him as surging Purple Mansion True Flame suddenly erupted, forming a sharp sword!

Slash!

Wang Xiao just waved his hand gently, and an indescribably terrifying aura instantly spread from the Fire Sword!

In just a thousandth of an instant, the roaring dragon and tiger were decapitated and instantly annihilated.

Immediately after, the brilliant Fire Sword engulfed Qian Yunshan.

Qian Yunshan’s soul was burned to nothing before it even had a chance to escape!

The Fire Sword shot past Qian Yunshan, directly shattering the mountain gate of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

The sword light was chilling and boundlessly vast, continuing to spread forward!

It only finally receded after cleaving the entire mountaintop in two.

The ground shook violently as countless broken rocks tumbled down!

"Ah, how dare you!"

The pupils of the other Tribulation Crossing Realm Cultivators contracted violently.

They never could have imagined that in just a thousandth of an instant, Qian Yunshan would be slain by a single sword strike, his Yin Spirit not even having time to escape.

This... This was simply too terrifying!

One had to understand, Qian Yunshan was a Tribulation Crossing Realm Cultivator.

Even if he had only passed one Celestial Tribulation, he was far beyond what a Lifebound Realm cultivator could compare to.

And yet, such a powerful expert had been slain with a single sword strike.

As easily as crushing an ant.

This made them, who were also in the Tribulation Crossing Realm, shudder with a bone-chilling fear!

This man before them was definitely not in the Tribulation Crossing Realm. He had already reached the Saint Realm.

Or even... the Dao Realm!

Thinking of this possibility, this group of Tribulation Crossing Realm Cultivators no longer had the courage to act.

They could only stare wide-eyed at Wang Xiao, their gazes a mixture of anger and fear.

Wang Xiao calmly swept his gaze over the crowd. Every person his eyes landed on immediately lowered their head, not daring to meet his gaze.

A moment later, Wang Xiao raised his hand and pointed at several figures.

"You, you, and you. Commit suicide now, and I can give you a chance to reincarnate."

The people he pointed to were all those who had wanted to take his life in the Celestial Master Hall all those years ago.

However, out of respect for his master, Shou Chengzi, Wang Xiao couldn’t be bothered to make them suffer complete annihilation of body and soul.

After all, reincarnation would wash away their mortal memories, and they would start life anew.

It could be considered paying the price for what they did back then.

Hearing Wang Xiao’s words, the expressions of these people changed instantly, becoming impossibly grim.

Each of them had cultivated bitterly for four to five hundred years, or even longer.

That was how they had attained their current Realms and status.

How could they possibly commit suicide so easily?

The Capital Governor, one of the Three Capitals who had passed three Celestial Tribulations and whose strength was second only to Zhang Lingxiao, couldn’t help but speak:

"Wang Chongyang, this humble Daoist does not know what grievances you have with these people and the Sect Leader Celestial Master, but you came from Dragon Tiger Mountain, after all. Must you really kill every last one?"

Shou Chengzi also said:

"Chongyang, think twice! If you do this, there will be no turning back."

Although the people Wang Xiao pointed to were all from the Pro-Emperor Faction, who were normally at odds with their Anti-Emperor Faction, they were still from the same sect, after all.

If these people died, Dragon Tiger Mountain’s strength would be greatly diminished.

This was not something Shou Chengzi wanted to see!

Wang Xiao shook his head.

"I am already being merciful by letting them commit suicide. Master, I still remember what happened back then."

Hearing this, Shou Chengzi’s pupils contracted violently.

’Wang Xiao remembers being thrown into the Exorcism Tower?! He was only one year old at the time. Miss Xiaodie, just what kind of infant did you give me back then?’

Just as Shou Chengzi was reeling in shock, Wang Xiao glanced around, his tone calm.

"I’ve given you your chance. Since none of you are willing to do it yourselves, then you can’t blame me."

As soon as his voice fell, Wang Xiao’s figure moved, and he walked toward them.

"Stop him! Attack together! He can’t possibly kill all of us at once!"

The men roared frantically.

Dazzling Lifebound Magical Treasures rose one after another from their bodies, trying to block Wang Xiao.

However, Wang Xiao paid them no mind.

A Fire Sword shot across the sky, carrying the power to shatter everything. It tore through the heavens and, in an instant, obliterated all their Lifebound Magical Treasures!

Just as this sword strike was about to slay them all, a heaven-shaking roar, like that of a dragon and a tiger, suddenly echoed from deep within Dragon Tiger Mountain:

"Enough!"

As the sound waves surged and ravaged everything in their path, a heaven-shaking beam of light, wreathed in dense Incense Smoke and trailing a brilliant streamer, suddenly descended from the sky like a meteorite, blasting toward Wang Xiao!

"Zhang Lingxiao, you’ve finally decided to show yourself!"

Wang Xiao sneered as he watched the stream of light.

He made no move to dodge or evade. His sharp sword, imbued with Purple Mansion True Flame, carried a world-shaking might. After blasting all the High-level Practitioners of Dragon Tiger Mountain to pieces, it then shot up to meet the descending stream of light!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Endless shockwaves set off blazing rings of energy, which thundered outwards.

The ground for ten miles around shook violently, as if from a magnitude-eight earthquake, and a massive mushroom cloud rose into the air.

The terrifying, far-reaching collision turned Heaven and Earth into a sheet of white.

The nearby Lifebound Cultivators felt as if their bodies were about to be torn apart. They spat up blood and were sent flying backward violently.

When the aftershocks subsided, a figure in a Daoist Robe stood slowly before Wang Xiao.

It was Zhang Lingxiao!

He looked at the fallen Dragon Tiger Mountain Daoists scattered across the ground, his gaze dark as he turned to Wang Xiao.

"Wang Chongyang, ten years ago, my failure to capture you was my miscalculation."

"Fortunately, it’s not too late."

"Today, I will rectify that past mistake and finish you completely. I will not give you any chance to turn the tables."

Wang Xiao felt the dense Incense Smoke and violent Magical Power fluctuations emanating from Zhang Lingxiao’s body, his own expression calm.

"It seems you’ve made some progress in the last ten years as well."

"However, if I could kill you once back then, I can kill you a second time today."

"Rest assured, I won’t give you a chance to reincarnate!"

Surging waves of Gang Qi filled Heaven and Earth like a tempest.

At that moment, for a hundred miles in every direction with Dragon Tiger Mountain at its center, everything went dim.

The two peerless experts had finally, at this moment, come to a true confrontation.

A thirty-year feud.

A battle to the death!
