Chapter 49: The Seventh of the Ten Demons

At this moment, four silhouettes appeared in the Void.

Domineering, blazing, blood qi soaring to the heavens, formless and ever-changing, four silhouettes with distinct auras each kept a certain distance, guarding against one another, walking out from the darkness.

Of these three, Xiao Jing Tian did not know them, but recognized them as the ones who had shattered the Dragon Origin together with Di Shi Tian.

The last person was Shen Wu Yi Fu, the Chengwu Emperor of Dong Ying; as for Jue Wu Shen, there was no trace of him.

Xiao Jing Tian and Xiao Ao Shi were suddenly shocked, a bone-chilling coldness surged straight up from their chests, and they felt their scalps go numb; they had been focused on besieging Di Shi Tian and neglected to scout their surroundings, so that someone had hidden in the Void without them knowing.

These four must have sensed the fluctuations of their attack, hiding nearby waiting for an opportunity; just now, if they had insisted on attacking Di Shi Tian, his dying blow after swallowing the Phoenix Blood would surely have caused them great harm, so these four hiding nearby...

How tempting the Divine Beast Essence was, no one knew better than this group; thinking of this, the Xiao brothers felt a chill of fear.

Di Shi Tian secretly let out a breath of relief, feeling extremely fortunate.

Dragon Origin and Phoenix Blood would indeed repel each other; consuming two types of Divine Beast Essence at the same time would not erupt with massive energy as he had claimed. If the Xiao brothers were determined to kill him, his chance of survival was less than half.

Fortunately, this lie had ultimately deceived the Xiao brothers, and also deceived the various experts hiding all around.

One domineering and majestic silhouette stepped forward; the aura around him seemed able to decompose all things, a hazy qi permeating the air, and Di Shi Tian recognized at a glance that the person inside was the former Tianxia Hui leader Xiong Ba.

Xiong Ba stepped forward, looking at the three people with swords drawn, and laughed:

"Why do the three of you go this far to gamble with your lives? The entrance to Jiu Kong Wu Jie is closed; we are like turtles in a jar, and at this moment we should unite and work together to confront that person."

The original Xiong Ba had merged with the Purple-Clothed Boss, his True Qi and Primordial Spirit entering the Myth Realm directly, and afterward he had swallowed Sword Yue's soul body, gaining all of Sword Yue's three hundred-plus years of martial arts experience.

At this moment, because he had swallowed a Dragon Origin, he gained a thousand years of internal force out of thin air; combining the martial arts of the Purple-Clothed Boss and Sword Yue, he directly pushed the Three-Into-One Origin Qi to its highest level, capable of decomposing all things.

Such strength could now grow to the same level as thousand-year-old monsters like Di Shi Tian.

Since being defeated by one punch from Jiang Xuan and the Tianxia Hui changing hands, Xiong Ba's towering hatred in his heart could not be washed away even by pouring all the waters of the Huang He; he wanted to reclaim everything he had lost, he wanted to crush Jiang Xuan's bones and scatter his ashes.

Xiao Jing Tian gave a cold snort and did not speak, but he also knew Xiong Ba's words were not empty talk, and more importantly, it was already a settled matter.

If the two brothers clung to this matter, they would very likely stand opposed to the remaining five; one must know that apart from Shen Wu Yi Fu, all had once participated in shattering the Dragon Origin.

If these five united and acted against them together...

Or if it were truly as Xiong Ba said, that Jiu Kong Wu Jie had now become a cage; if the two brothers turned against the five, the two walking in Jiu Kong Wu Jie might encounter Jiang Xuan...

Above Dragon Island, the scene of Jiang Xuan slaying a dragon with one sword, that sword that destroyed heaven and earth, was vivid before their eyes. Even a Divine Dragon had been slaughtered by one sword; how could these people who had obtained only part of the Dragon Origin be his match?

The two walking in Jiu Kong Wu Jie were truly lacking any sense of security.

Shen Wu Yi Fu also strode forward at this moment, an Emperor's aura permeating, flashing with a look of confidence.

"Everyone, a great enemy is before us; we should even more join hands to overcome this difficulty. That Jiang Xuan has the heart of a wolf; we do not know when he will appear to devour people. In Jiu Kong Wu Jie, we had best travel together."

"As for the previous various matters, the struggle for Longevity, no one can resist the temptation. Everyone, if you put yourselves in the other's position, you would make the same choice. Right or wrong aside, since we have already obtained Longevity, why not turn weapons into jade and silk, and depart in peace—that is the true path."

When they first arrived in Jiu Kong Wu Jie, the six great Myths fought over the Dragon Origin; he and Jue Wu Shen could only hide carefully in a corner, preventing themselves from being noticed by Myth Realm experts.

Heaven pitied them; the Dragon Origin was divided into seven, and he and Jue Wu Shen each used their means to contend for the seventh Dragon Origin.

In the end, he survived, relying on the power of the Dragon Origin, and even pushed the Red Fire Divine Art to the Ninth Layer in one go, gaining the qualification to converse with these lofty martial arts myths.

Hearing this, the Xiao brothers also stopped speaking; what Xiong Ba and Shen Wu Yi Fu said was exactly what they worried about.

These two brothers' internal force had now surged, but they had not yet taken revenge on their old ghost father; they were unwilling to perish here.

The seven great martial arts myths chatted casually for a few sentences, then suddenly stopped, their expressions turning stern; they circulated their energy and assumed defensive postures, all looking in one direction together.

Whoosh whoosh!

In the Void, a heavy aura like a mountain came shuttling through at lightning speed. As it approached the crowd, Xiao Jing Tian and Xiao Ao Shi instantly recognized that this person whose aura was vast as an abyss was their father Xiao Sanxiao, whom they hated to the bone.

Xiao Jing Tian's eyes immediately turned red, hatred erupting; Xiao Ao Shi's chest heaved continuously, and the surrounding environment became scorched.

"Kill!"

Xiao Sanxiao had just stopped his silhouette, not yet clear on the current state of Jiu Kong Wu Jie, when two violent and somewhat familiar forces came crashing down.

"Samsara Demon Eyes? Four Absolutes Exterminating Heaven? You two unfilial sons!"

Xiao Sanxiao suddenly thrust both palms toward the sky; from his nose and throat came a roar like a dragon and a turtle. A Xuanwu shadow tens of zhang long appeared behind Xiao Sanxiao; with both palms lifting, he executed a defensive ultimate move from the Xuanwu True Gang.

The power of Nature and the power of the Primordial Spirit came crashing down, striking directly onto the defensive shield formed by the Xuanwu True Gang. Like a great sea surge striking the shore, covering the sky and earth, on the Xuanwu True Gang defensive shield burst forth a thousand lightning snakes and ten thousand fire lights, continuously spreading through the surrounding Void, enveloping the Void within a thousand zhang, like a terrifying scene of a meteor falling from the sky.

Xiao Sanxiao's body barely moved at all; he stamped his feet, leaped up, and directly arrived above the Great Demon God Xiao Jing Tian. His palms turned into dragon-turtle claws, suddenly grabbing toward Xiao Jing Tian's shoulders; at the same time, his body instantly became heavy as a mountain, falling down toward Xiao Jing Tian's back.

He actually intended to rely on his own dragon-turtle power, boundless momentum and strength, to press down on his own son like taming a fierce horse.

Xiao Jing Tian was instantly grabbed by the shoulders by Xiao Sanxiao, his back stepped on by Xiao Sanxiao, and he let out a heaven-shaking roar. All his strength erupted, and Hun Tian Si Jue was unleashed continuously; within a thousand zhang, lightning flashed and thunder roared, the Void shattered, and for a time neither could do anything to the other.

But at this moment!

Two demonic lights directly struck Xiao Sanxiao; his mind was immediately as if struck by a hammer, and it seemed as if a pair of hands with endless strength had grabbed his brain, squeezing it tightly again and again, almost squeezing his brains out.

Four Absolutes Exterminating Heaven, Samsara Demon Eyes—he had originally sensed that his two sons had ulterior motives, so in the martial arts he taught them, he had kept back the final move.

He just never expected that today he would actually fall victim to these two ultimate arts.

Under normal circumstances, he was not completely without the power to resist.

But the one ambushing him was his own eldest son; due to carelessness, and because they had obtained heaven-defying creation in this Jiu Kong Wu Jie, each of them individually was not inferior to him by much. The two joining hands to ambush him directly left him no power to parry.

The Great Demon God Xiao Jing Tian looked at Xiao Sanxiao, who was in pain clutching his head; one punch shattered the air, forming a fist imprint the size of a shield. The vast and shocking fist force, with the momentum of opening heaven, came crashing horizontally through the air toward Xiao Sanxiao.
