Chapter 499: Damn, Light! (Second Update)

Who am I?

Feeling humiliated, Li Long was completely enraged; he gritted his teeth and swung his sword with force.

Clang, clang, clang!

Crack!

Although he only possessed the strength of the Formless realm, by relying on the boost his Dragon Qi and the world's fortune gave to the Qian Sword, he was actually able to contend with the Asking Dao!

He even managed to force Xuan Xiao back several steps with this momentum, his aura surging like a rainbow for a moment.

"Idiot! He is the Emperor of Beigan!"

Over there, Chun Shou, who was clashing with Gongye Dachang, saw Xuan Xiao's embarrassing performance and cursed angrily, "That is the Qian Sword! Don't clash with it head-on!"

Chun Shou had a better understanding of the Beiming Divine Continent than Xuan Xiao and knew that this generation's Lord of Northern Gan possessed the strength of the Heaven Realm.

But he never imagined that the Beiganhuangdi would actually come out without a single guard, carrying the nation-protecting Supreme Treasure, the Qian Sword, himself...

What incredible audacity!

Was he not afraid of being assassinated and robbed?

"The Lord of Northern Gan, Li Long?"

After the prompt, Xuan Xiao finally matched the person before him with the information in his records. He was greatly shocked and couldn't help but say, "You actually brought the Supreme Treasure out! Do you not care about the prosperity of Beigan?"

Xuan Xiao's true identity made it impossible for him to imagine that an emperor could be so reckless.

This was simply a madman!

Regarding this foolish question, Li Long gave a cold smile and spoke indifferently.

"I am the prosperity, I am the nation."

"If I exist, the nation exists, and the prosperity will last forever. You ask why I would not dare to bring the Qian Sword out?"

After saying these words, Li Long felt his whole body become refreshed.

Although he didn't know how the ministers would submit memorials to criticize him or how the old Prime Minister Wang would use sarcasm against him once this matter was exposed... but none of that mattered.

I do not care!

It is enough that I am satisfied now!

I finally found the opportunity to say this line, hahaha!

Satisfying!

"You insist on getting involved?"

After realizing the threat of the Qian Sword, Xuan Xiao knew how to handle it; he avoided colliding with the blade and instead blasted Li Long back with a palm strike.

He stared at the uninjured Li Long with a frown and said in a deep voice, "This matter is only between our Butian Alliance and the Sword Casting Pavilion; it has nothing to do with your Beiqian Dynasty."

Xuan Xiao did not understand.

Everyone understood the relationship between the Imperial Court and the sects; as an emperor, he should certainly hope for the sects to weaken. Li Long standing out at this moment did not align with his interests at all.

But upon hearing this, Li Long gave a cold smile, flicked his sleeves, and said indifferently:

"Nonsense, I am the Lord of Northern Gan, and the Sword Casting Pavilion is a sect on the land of the Beiming Divine Continent, which means they are my subjects."

"You invade my territory; how could I, as the Emperor, have any reason to stand by and do nothing?"

Xuan Xiao frowned. Although Li Long spoke in a high-sounding manner, he always felt something was wrong, yet he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

"Many thanks to Your Majesty for your help; the Sword Casting Pavilion will certainly not forget this kindness." Gongye Dachang also expressed his gratitude at this time, nodding seriously toward Li Long.

Even he had not expected that Li Long would carry the Qian Sword with him, nor that he would act so decisively.

"There is no need for such formalities, Minister."

Li Long nodded slowly. He appeared calm on the surface, but he was also somewhat surprised in his heart.

"Things are indeed as my virtuous brother said; Gongye Dachang has lowered his head. As expected, he is the one who should be Prime Minister!"

He had originally intended to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting for Gongye Dachang to show signs of decline before stepping in to help.

But just a moment ago, he had received a message from Ren Yidao: if he had the ability, he should strike directly and must not hesitate.

Ren Yidao could not see through the battle at the Asking Dao level, and neither could Jing Yueqin, but he had an intuition, or perhaps a deduction observed from the details.

Gongye Dachang was not panicked at all.

From beginning to end, the Sect Master Gongye had not panicked in the slightest; he appeared weak, but in reality, victory was already in his grasp.

All of Gongye Dachang's displays of weakness were to wait for an opportunity, preparing to deal the opponent a heavy blow!

A feeling of like repelling like told Ren Yidao that this was also an old schemer!

Upon realizing this, Ren Yidao had urged Li Long to act.

It is easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to send charcoal in snow.

If he waited until Gongye Dachang erupted before stepping in to help, it would be too late.

Li Long had been somewhat hesitant, but under the persuasion of Ran Yeting, he still acted decisively.

The results were indeed excellent!

"Hmph!"

After being slapped in the face several times, Xuan Xiao completely tore off his hypocritical mask and said coldly to Gongye Dachang, "However, even with his help, you are only barely managing to fight us to a draw."

"In a little while, your disciples and sect members will be slaughtered completely."

Xuan Xiao's words caused the expressions of the others to change again.

That's right, even if Gongye Dachang can hold on for a long time, so what?

Our disciples are still in danger!

"Your Excellency Xuan Xiao!"

Just as everyone was hesitating, Ren Yidao, who had been watching the show for a long time, stood up. He cupped his hands in a salute to Xuan Xiao and smiled: "Did you get one thing wrong? You threaten us with the safety of our disciples; even if someone had the heart to defect, they wouldn't dare to speak up now."

In the current situation, with the Butian Alliance wanting to kill their disciples, who would dare to openly express their desire to join?

Xuan Xiao had been very interested in this youth, and upon hearing this, asked with interest: "Then according to you, what should be done?"

"If you ask me, it should be done like this..." Ren Yidao cleared his throat, seemingly about to begin his long-winded speech.

But the moment he opened his mouth, the Sanlu Sword at his waist flew out on its own, charging toward Xuan Xiao.

Among the Supreme Treasure, its killing power is the strongest!

Li Long, having prepared for this long ago, struck at the same time, swinging his sword in a slash!

Xuan Xiao:!!?

"Presumptuous!!!"

Xuan Xiao was enraged; he intended to teach these two fellows who didn't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth a painful lesson.

But the true killing blow was not here.

Just as Ren Yidao and Li Long made their move, the eyes of Gongye Dachang, who had been at a disadvantage the whole time, suddenly lit up.

Opportunity!

"Hah!"

He let out a roar, and the Giant Hammer within his Furnace Heaven and Earth erupted with astonishing power, crashing down toward Chunshou with a boom.

"He's going to risk his life!"

Chunshou, who was fighting him, instinctively dodged, intending to avoid the brunt of the attack first, but after dodging, his eyes flickered, and he hurriedly gathered his focus to pursue.

"Not good!"

After successfully dodging without a scratch, Chunshou realized a problem...

That hammer was not aimed at him!

But a moment of hesitation had already sealed the outcome; unable to catch up, Chunshou could only watch helplessly as the Giant Hammer roared toward the sky... and smashed into Xuan Xiao's Water Elephant Heaven and Earth!

Suddenly attacked, Xuan Xiao spat out blood, and unable to dodge in time, he was seized by the opportunity from the Sanlu Sword and the Qian Sword!

Ssh—

At the same moment.

Sikong Yu, who was clashing with Black Tortoise Lord on the outside, also seized this fleeting opportunity, and after sensing the fluctuations in the Water Elephant Heaven and Earth, he struck decisively!

The Three-Headed Six-Armed God Demon threw the Sword from one of its hands, stabbing directly toward the Water Elephant Heaven and Earth, which was rippling with flags of rebellion.

"You dare!?"

【"A joke, I dare all too much."】

The snake tail of the Xuanxu phantom went to intercept, but the sword split into nine phantoms in mid-air; it ultimately blocked eight, but the final one successfully slashed onto the Water Elephant Heaven and Earth.

Boom!

Under the pincer attack from inside and out, the Water Elephant Heaven and Earth only held for three breaths before shattering with a boom!

"Cough!!!"

Xuan Xiao suffered heavy injuries, painfully spitting out a stream of blood, and nearly being pierced through by the Qian Sword and the Sanlu Sword.

"Sikong Yu!!!"

Black Tortoise Lord was greatly enraged upon seeing this situation, his angry roar resounding through Heaven and Earth.

The venue of the Elimination Tournament.

Ye Liqun lay in a pool of blood, a hollow wound appearing on his back, where one could see broken vertebrae and scarlet flesh.

Li Qiushui and Li Fengyao both frowned, looking with some wariness at the white-skirted girl standing barefoot in the pool of blood.

Seemingly sensing their hostility, Yaoyue, who was toying with the no-longer-beating heart with her slender hands, looked up at this moment and flashed a pure smile at them.

"Don't be afraid~ We are on the same side~"

On the same side...

The two exchanged a glance, the vigilance in their hearts not relaxing much.

The previous battle had been extremely intense, and that traitor Ye Liqun was unexpectedly strong.

He was indeed, as he himself said, a genius buried by the Sword Casting Hut, with almost no obvious weaknesses and powerful strength in many aspects.

If not for Yaoyue's intervention, even if the four of them had joined forces, they might not have come out unscathed.

But Yaoyue's intervention... was truly too extraordinary.

Appearing behind Ye Liqun without any warning, and reaching out a hand without a trace of effort.

It was just that simple; the next moment, that beating heart of Ye Liqun was in her hand.

As for the scene at that time, let alone Li Fengyao and the others not seeing it clearly, even Cang Lan only felt a breeze brush past, and that was all.

So fast!!!

The shock in Cang Lan's heart was no less than the others, but she remained silent at this time.

In her heart, she had automatically equated Yaoyue's changes with the benefits received from the Moon Sacrifice.

As expected of the Moon Sacrifice!

She is truly too strong, hmm... just a little bit worse than my master!

The enemy was dead; Li Qiushui put away her blade, and recalling the previous match, stared at Yaoyue and asked: "Did you lose to me on purpose before?"

She realized at this moment that according to the strength Yaoyue and Cang Lan were now displaying, she was no match for the two of them at all.

"Ahahaha~ Not at all."

But Yaoyue didn't take the bait at all, waving her hands with a smile, and winked at Shi Xue on the side, "I was forced to retreat by that Snow Heroine~"

Shi Xue:???

How is this my business?

"You..." Li Qiushui naturally couldn't accept such a perfunctory excuse, and just as she was about to press further, her expression suddenly changed, and she looked up toward the sky.

The next moment, the false Heaven above shattered, revealing the true Heaven, and they heard the roar of the Black Tortoise.

"Sikong Yu!?" Shi Xue, who was feeling awkward over there, had her expression change as she thought of the legend she had mentioned to Ren Yidao not long ago.

"The Sikong Yu who once suppressed the heroes of the Southern Border?"

While Shi Xue exclaimed in shock, Yaoyue put away her smile and looked up at the giant, who was like a god or Demon descended upon the world, the look in her eyes somewhat complex.

Ren Yidao also raised his head at this moment, and upon seeing that thousand-foot-tall light figure, his eyes immediately widened.

"Holy crap!"

"A giant of light!"

"Gaia!!!"

Six thousand two hundred words, but it took so long to write; the speed is so slow.

Let me take some more medicine and hurry up and get better...
