Chapter 587

One strike unleashed, blade shadows blanketed sky and earth, like a gale surging with tidal waves, attacking from all directions.

Ten Directions Invincible (Defensive)

Amidst the gale and tidal waves, Emperor Wenlong finally revealed his true prowess.

He either punched or kicked.

He either tapped with his fingers or rubbed them into a sword.

Within a single breath, he executed no fewer than ten variations.

Each variation complemented the others perfectly.

He remained unscathed against Xuanwu Jun's relentless, tidal-wave-like Immortal Surge.

The clash between two peak experts was utterly terrifying.

Though Bai Long Creek possessed divine marvels, it still trembled and shook instantly.

The six Chi Xue warriors surrounding Seeing Ao Jue couldn't help but feel dread.

On the cliff's edge, Looking down, Seeing Lian Chengzhi was utterly stunned, muttering involuntarily,

"To force Xuanwu Jun to unleash Immortal Surge—and fight him to this point—"

"Who is this man?"

"Looks like we won't need Seeing Ao Jue, this worthless fool, as the sacrifice to open the Sword Realm."

"If Xuanwu Jun can lure this expert into the Sen Luo Six Directions Array, the Sword Realm will surely open this time!"

Seeing Lian Chengzhi worried whether Xuanwu Jun could hold his own, yet simultaneously fantasized that Xuanwu Jun would lure this master toward him.

Amidst this complex and contradictory emotion, he stopped watching the fierce battle below between Chi Xue's six and Seeing Ao Jue.

Instead, his gaze stretched far away, fixed intently on the dense forest.

The combat there was growing increasingly fierce.

Each clash shook the earth and altered heaven and earth.

Had this not been the Dragon Vein's location, protected by destiny's favor,

Bai Long Creek would long ago have become ruins.

After roughly half a while, a man was blasted out from the dense forest.

"That's… Xuanwu Jun?"

Seeing Lian Chengzhi recognized the man's figure and stared, dumbfounded.

401 You You Dongying people must be mentally ill!

Xuanwu Jun was blasted out and crashed heavily onto the earth.

The ground beneath him cracked open.

"Xuanwu Jun…"

Chi Xue and the others were also stunned and uncertain.

Though Xuanwu Jun wasn't the strongest in You Dongying, he was still among the top three!

Yet even such a great expert had been defeated?

How could this be!

Seeing Ao Jue, upon seeing this, couldn't help but feel alarmed.

He was well aware of Xuanwu Jun's strength.

Now that Xuanwu Jun had lost, he was deeply curious—who had struck?

But now was the perfect moment to escape amid the chaos; he flashed his body and broke free of the encirclement.

He sprinted toward the dense forest.

At that moment, a thin, withered old man walked out from the forest.

Seeing his face, Seeing Ao Jue, who had been puzzled moments before, was consumed by rage,

"Dog Emperor—it's you! Give me your life!"

Emperor Wenlong and Emperor Wuchang were brothers, their appearances nearly identical.

So much so that, unless they spoke, outsiders could hardly tell them apart.

When Seeing Ao Jue's entire family was slaughtered, Emperor Wuchang's face had been etched into his soul.

Upon seeing Emperor Wenlong at once, he mistook him—

And at this very moment, his battle fury was at its peak, his fighting spirit burning hottest.

Seeing Ao Jue raised his Sword of Doom and unleashed his ultimate technique.

Luo Shixin's Passage: Ultimate—Sword of Lost Heart!

This sword technique was meant to be executed with the demonic Sword of Doom to achieve maximum effect.

Alas, the Sword of Doom was the most demonic blade under heaven; Seeing Ao Jue could not forge it in an instant.

Thus, he could only use the Sword of Doom to manifest this ultimate technique.

As the sword struck, a demonic shadow appeared behind Seeing Ao Jue.

Then the shadow retracted, entirely flowing into the blade of the Sword of Doom.

In that instant, the Sword of Doom seemed to gain demonic will, rendering the space along its path illusory.

"Excellent! Truly worthy of being one of the Six Demonic Passages…"

Emperor Wenlong was not angered; upon seeing this terrifying sword, he loudly praised it.

He then channeled his true energy once more and activated Ten Directions Invincible (Defensive)!

As soon as the technique was unleashed, a three-foot radius around Emperor Wenlong became like a wall of bronze and iron.

Even this demonic sword strike, terrifying as it was, could not penetrate within three feet of his body.

And as Emperor Wenlong unleashed more transformations, the Sword of Defeat trembled violently.

Terrifying force traveled from the blade straight into Seeing Ao Jue, churning his organs as if they would explode.

"Let go!"

Emperor Wenlong saw that Seeing Ao Jue could no longer hold out, and ceased direct confrontation.

He merely applied a pulling force, redirecting Seeing Ao Jue's attack to one side.

Shh!

The full force of the demonic sword strike was unleashed.

It struck the nearby trees, killing every tree within a ten-li radius instantly.

"What a demonic strike! Seeing Ao Jue, though your Wu Gong has advanced rapidly along this demonic sword path,"

"if you lose your beloved, the demonic sword will control you. I hope you take heed."

Emperor Wenlong, seeing the power of that strike, couldn't help but whistle in astonishment.

Then, as if strolling through a courtyard, he passed Seeing Ao Jue and walked toward the prepared Xuanwu Jun and others.

"Who are you?"

Seeing Ao Jue realized this man before him could not possibly be the Wu Chang dog emperor he despised.

After all, if the Wu Chang emperor possessed such cultivation, how could the Yunzhou imperial clan have declined to this state?

Yet his strongest strike had been blocked outright.

If not for this man's restraint—fearing he might truly injure him—Seeing Ao Jue would have been even more humiliated and broken than Xuanwu Jun had just been.

"Go find Can Ji! She will tell you who I am."

"The grudge between Wu Chang and you—I take it upon myself."

Emperor Wenlong turned back and smiled lightly at Seeing Ao Jue, then resumed walking toward Xuanwu Jun and the others.

Seeing Ao Jue knew this man, who resembled the Wu Chang emperor, had just saved his life.

And this man's connection to the Wu Chang emperor was certainly deep.

One side held the debt of salvation; the other, the hatred of family annihilation.

At this moment, Seeing Ao Jue was utterly bewildered.

He stood frozen, unsure what to do.

Emperor Wenlong paid him no mind, merely stopping ten zhang before Xuanwu Jun and the others, and said:

"You You Dongying people! Why not stay peacefully on your little island? Why must you stir up trouble?"

"Do you truly believe that severing the dragon vein here will let you seize the Nine Provinces?"

Though defeated by Emperor Wenlong, Xuanwu Jun remained most loyal to Seeing Lian Chengzhi.
