Chapter 660
"If I act, then the Tianchi assassins must obey my orders!"
"Fine!"
Living under someone else's command is better than being dead.
Moreover, although Lord Tonghuang harbors ambitions of domination, he knows full well that his current strength is utterly inadequate in this age of fierce competition.
His reason for rebuilding Litianxia Society, inviting Yan Kuangtu to fight alongside him, and luring Desheng, Qianzhen, and others to Tianshan—
All of it was to force Xiong Na to show himself!
When Xiong Na first founded Litianxia Society, he relied on the power of the Twelve Tianchi Killers.
But no one expected that after using them, not a single one of the three hall leaders he established was chosen from the Twelve Tianchi Killers.
Worse still, Xiong Na treated the Twelve Tianchi Killers as if they were servants he could summon and dismiss at will.
When Miss Youruo was listed, he sent the Twelve Tianchi Killers to protect her.
Truly, the dirty, exhausting, and dangerous tasks were all dumped on the Twelve Tianchi Killers, yet when it came time to share the spoils of victory, they got nothing.
Lord Tonghuang, proud and haughty, could not help but rage.
He deduced that if Xiong Na did not appear, he was either dead or mortally wounded.
That would be his perfect chance for revenge!
But he had guessed wrong—Deshe and Qianzhen were secretly controlled by the Yunzhou imperial court.
And because of this fake Hui Alliance he orchestrated, he had drawn upon himself an enemy as terrifying as Jue Xin.
"Jue Xin, take this!"
Yan Kuangtu, as a master on the Tian Dao Golden List, had his own pride.
Before striking, he roared aloud.
Then, as his true energy surged, the Tian Jie Battle Armor on his body rapidly transformed.
In the next instant, he had become a colossal iron-clad spider.
Eight blade-like legs slashed, stabbed, and cut toward Jue Xin like a storm of wind and waves.
"Good!"
Jue Xin remained unfazed; though the Tian Jie Battle Armor was strange beyond measure, he held Da Xie Wang—how could he fear?
Ten Directions Invincible Palm!
The Xuán Wǔ True Scripture not only elevated Jue Xin's battle intent realm.
While observing it, Jue Xin also comprehended the Ten Directions Invincible Palm!
Now he fused this palm technique directly into Da Xie Wang's swordplay, clashing against the Tian Jie Battle Armor.
Both were cultivators of the Supreme Mythical Realm.
Whether intentionally or not, Yan Kuangtu gradually drew Jue Xin into the sky as they fought.
Thus, though the Yu Bo from their clash was ferocious, it barely affected the Sanfen Training Ground below.
With Yan Kuangtu's intervention, the power of the First Tribulation of Xie Wang was finally dispersed.
The frenzied crowd all awoke.
"Big Brother, what happened to us?"
Zhi Tanhua, with the highest cultivation, was the first to Su Xing.
Seeing at least a hundred Litianxia Society disciples dead beneath his paper weapons, he was utterly astonished.
The other matchmakers, upon awakening, were equally stunned to see how many Litianxia Society disciples they had killed.
Lord Tonghuang wore a bitter smile and pointed upward, saying,
"Jue Xin's Wu Gong is utterly Xie Sect."
If not for the fact that I cultivate the Tong Xin True Scripture, I'd likely be just like you all!"
Zhi Tanhua and the others nearly dropped their jaws.
As the supreme leader of Tianchi, no one among these Tianchi elders knew better than they did the power of Lord Tonghuang's Tong Xin True Scripture.
In fact, Lord Tonghuang alone could suppress all the other Eleven Tianchi Killers.
His Tong Xin True Scripture was a niche mental attack technique.
Yet now Lord Tonghuang claimed that Jue Xin's mental assault surpassed his own!
How could these Tianchi assassins not be stunned!
But upon reflection, they all found it perfectly reasonable.
After all, who else would dare to single-handedly invade Litianxia Society without such power?
"Boss, who do you think will win this fight?"
Xi Bao's face was disfigured, so he always wore a theatrical mask—now it was a mask of terror.
"Who wins doesn't matter! Yan Kuangtu said his condition for acting was that the Twelve Tianchi Killers obey him!"
A flicker of anger appeared on Lord Tonghuang's childlike face.
When the Twelve Tianchi Killers were hunted down by Dugu Jian, they had no choice but to seek refuge under Xiong Na.
For all these years, serving Xiong Na like beasts of burden, they had grown utterly weary—otherwise, they wouldn't have plotted to kill him.
Now they've escaped the tiger's den only to fall into the wolf's lair.
How could Lord Tonghuang not rage?
"This…"
Zhi Tanhua and the others fell silent.
Though they knew that without Yan Kuangtu's intervention, they would have slaughtered each other to death,
They had truly endured enough of obeying others while gaining not a single benefit.
"Boss, why not slip away now while Tie Kuangtu and Jue Xin are fighting?"
The matchmaker glanced at the battle above and felt it would be no simple matter for these two masters to determine a victor; she immediately suggested,
Xi Bao's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously,
"The matchmaker's right—Tie Kuangtu is tied up by Jue Xin, and Jue Xin can't come after us.
If we escape this place, we won't have to take orders from anyone anymore."
"But the world is vast—where can we go after fleeing the Litianxia Society?"
Fu Sui said softly.
Since being hunted by Jian Sheng, the Twelve Killers of Tianchi had hidden within the Number One Tower.
Over these years, they had never actually left Tianshan.
So when the time came to flee, they didn't know where to go first.
"Idiot! We ten, each one has Heavenly Being Realm strength.
To major powers, we're nothing.
But to minor factions, we are heaven itself.
As long as we keep a low profile, there'll be no danger."
Dog King proposed,
"The most critical issue now is deciding to flee quickly—otherwise, once they've settled their victory, we won't be able to leave."
"Boss, make the call!"
All the Tianchi killers handed the decision over to Lord Tonghuang.
Lord Tonghuang watched the battle above, hesitated repeatedly, then finally said,
"Right! I've had enough of being a slave—let's go!"
After speaking, he ignored the surviving Litianxia Society disciples, as well as Desheng, Qian Zhen, and others, and instantly dashed down Tianshan.
The other Tianchi killers immediately followed closely behind.
"Hah! You big spider, what good does it do you to fight me here? Your men have already abandoned you!"
Jue Xin did not rush to chase Lord Tonghuang and the others; instead, he parried Tie Kuangtu's attacks while taunting,
His purpose in coming to Tianshan was knowing that many Wu Lin figures were gathering for the Hui Alliance, and he wanted to use Soul-Sucking Hand to rapidly increase his cultivation.
But a hundred Heavenly Being Realm cultivators combined couldn't match a single Mythical Realm one.
Thus, Jue Xin now focused solely on Tie Kuangtu, aiming to defeat him and absorb his entire cultivation, true qi, and lifespan!
Tie Kuangtu had no idea of Jue Xin's intentions; seeing Lord Tonghuang and the others flee, he was so enraged his lungs felt ready to burst.
