Chapter 1686

1497, utterly humiliated

After the two clashed again, Ximen Wudi could no longer hold out.

"Thud!"

He fell from the air onto the ground, drenched in blood, utterly humiliated.

But his eyes still burned with unyielding defiance.

"Still resisting? Just surrender already!"

The Dark King spoke calmly.

Yet at this moment, Ximen Wudi had no desire to even acknowledge him.

For in his mind, the system's voice kept ringing incessantly.

"Ding! Congratulations, host! Mana increased by one hundred million points!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host! Mana increased by five hundred million points!"

Hearing the voice, Ximen Wudi's lips curled into a smile as he gazed at the enemy before him.

He spoke slowly.

"Now it is My turn to send you all to hell!"

"Roar!"

No sooner had he spoken than the dragon aura around him surged skyward.

In an instant, endless clouds of blood gathered.

A golden dragon, ten million zhang long, appeared before everyone's eyes in an instant.

"Roar!"

The colossal dragon roared across heaven and earth.

Its body coiled and spiraled upward, charging straight toward the Minghe Sect Lord.

This time, Ximen Wudi's entire body was shrouded in blinding golden light.

His entire aura became piercingly sharp.

"Crash!"

The next moment, before everyone's astonished gazes,

the two collided violently.

The Minghe Sect Lord was instantly blasted backward.

His chest caved in, his aura withered utterly.

And at the same moment,

Ximen Wudi was also thrown back thousands of li.

Yet his face showed no despair—only radiant brilliance.

Though wounded, he felt not the slightest fear.

More than anything, he was exhilarated.

He was now a Third-Star Nascent Soul cultivator.

His opponent was merely a mere Seventh-Catastrophe Transcendent.

Though he had suffered momentarily in this brief clash, he believed:

It would not take long before he killed the man.

Once the man died, he would win!

Thinking of this, his heart surged with excitement, and his eyes gleamed with anticipation.

At this moment, his gaze inadvertently swept over the Xuemo Sect Lord.

When he saw clearly, his eyes widened in shock.

"How is it him?!"

His mind involuntarily recalled the scene he had witnessed during battle on the Xuemo Island.

That white-robed man was the Xuemo Island's young master.

And this man radiated a suffocating pressure that made him feel as if he could not breathe.

He even felt an urge to prostrate himself in worship.

He had never encountered anything like this before.

Could this man also be a natural-born powerhouse, like himself?!

The moment this thought struck, his heart flooded with jealousy.

As Ximen Wudi reeled in shock,

the Xuemo Sect Lord also recognized his true face, his expression freezing slightly.

Then, intense fury flashed in his eyes.

"Damn bastard, how dare you impersonate my disciple?"

His voice was icy, brimming with lethal intent.

As soon as these words fell,

the entire space seemed to freeze.

Everyone present involuntarily shuddered.

And at this moment, Ximen Wudi snapped back to awareness.

Without another word,

he gripped Su Chiyan's Blade and charged forward directly.

"Bang!"

1498 defeated this old fellow.

The two sides clashed again, and Ximen Wudi was sent flying.

But at this moment, Ximen Wudi showed not the slightest fear.

Because he was about to break through very soon.

At this critical moment, he had to defeat this old fellow.

This time, he could be certain that his own Master had died at that person's hands.

Otherwise, the other party could not have so easily slain his Master.

Therefore, he absolutely would not allow anyone to slay him.

And on the other side, the Minghe Sect's cult leader was being beaten into steady retreat by Ximen Wudi.

His complexion at this moment also turned deathly pale.

"You little beast — not only did you ambush my disciple, now you want to kill me too?"

He roared in a voice seething with fury.

And in Ximen Wudi's eyes, killing intent was fully exposed.

He spoke with a cold laugh.

"That's right — today it's either you die or I perish!"

"Since you refuse to see reason, I'll grant your wish!"

Killing intent was bone-chilling in his voice.

And all around him—

A massive golden griffin appeared.

This griffin was golden all over, as if cast from pure gold.

Across its body flowed dazzlingly brilliant radiance, emitting waves of rippling light.

Beneath its wings, surprisingly, grew a pair of metallic feathered wings.

"Roar!"

The griffin threw back its head and let out a furious roar.

It gave out wave after wave of Long Yin.

After the sound faded, its form dove straight down.
