In an instant, violent spatial turbulence swept in all directions.
"Heaven hasn't forsaken me!"
Yin Zhong was overjoyed and took advantage of the gap in the turbulent current that dispersed the sword energy.
Even though its dragon scales were almost completely stripped off by the sword energy, it still desperately charged towards the crack.
He leaped into the chaotic torrent.
The giant hand vanished along with it, and peace returned to the world.
After the sword energy dissipated,
The sword jade also turned into dust and disappeared in the wind.
"Three dragon heads, that was just now..."
Dugu Jian was horrified.
Chapter 126 Kendama
The sword jade, in its first display of power, severely injured the purple-clad leader and Xiong Ba.
Today, he almost killed Yin Zhong, who was in the late stage of the Mythical Realm.
Yet, a mysterious being could withstand such pressure.
They tore apart the space of the Water Moon Cave and rescued Yin Zhong!
"I've never seen it either..."
Dugu Qiubai chuckled self-deprecatingly, realizing that his title was truly undeserved.
It would be better if it were just two dragon heads.
But if the person who just made the move were to actually appear,
I wonder if it can rival the Great Dragon Head?
"In my opinion, it must have been man-made."
Zhang Daoling stroked his beard and sighed softly.
"This person's cultivation is unfathomable, but to say whether he can compare to the Great Dragon Chief... is still uncertain."
What do you mean?
Dugu Jian was focused on sword cultivation and knew little about worldly affairs.
"If he truly fears no dragon, why hide his true colors? And why not simply wipe us out as well?"
Zhang Daoling stroked his beard with a smile, feeling proud of the dragon head in his heart.
Dugu Jian immediately felt relieved. Although the giant hand was terrifying, it was still inferior to the dragon's head.
"Since Yin Zhong has fled, let's drop this matter."
"The goal of this trip is to seize the Water Moon Cave and the secret treasure that transforms into a dragon."
"The spirit mirror is right in front of us, and this kid also knows the technique of transforming into a dragon."
"Take away the Spirit Mirror and this kid, and the mission will be complete."
Dugu Qiubai's belief grew stronger. With the guidance of the Great Dragon Head, he would one day be able to surpass that mysterious and powerful enemy!
245 Submission or Destruction
Deep within the Demonic Sect's secret realm of the Great Sui Dynasty.
"Zhu Yuyan, I've heard you have a close relationship with Shang Xiufang?"
After the Hundred Flowers Ranking appeared, even the increasingly weakened Demonic Sect immediately investigated Shang Xiufang's background.
Xie Tiao discovered that this woman had many connections with Empress Zhu Yuyan, so he immediately summoned her for questioning.
Zhu Yuyan's expression changed drastically when she saw Shang Xiufang on the list, having already anticipated that she would be targeted.
But I never expected it would all happen so quickly.
"Your Majesty, I do know Xiufang, but we are not close friends."
"Besides, I don't know where she is now..."
Cangqu lived in seclusion, and the Demonic Sect revered Xie Tiao.
Now, various forces are rising, and there are many experts among them.
The once formidable Demonic Sect, which once terrified the Sui Dynasty, is now increasingly weakened.
Shang Xiufang is one of the key figures in reversing the decline of the Demonic Sect.
In any case, we must control her.
"quibble……"
Xie Tiao released the "Demon Seed" without hesitation!
To cultivate a demonic seed within one's Daoist heart, one must nurture the "demon seed" with one's own essence, true power, and divine consciousness.
It condenses into a unique "demon embryo," and then uses the seven emotions and six desires to stimulate the growth of the demon seed.
The Demon Seed is both the foundation of a cultivator and the embodiment of their essence, energy, and spirit.
Once the demonic seed is released, those with insufficient cultivation or weak will will be corrupted by it.
With a single thought, a cultivator can manipulate others using a demonic seed.
Although Zhu Yuyan, known as the "Empress of the Underworld," was famous throughout the martial arts world, compared to Xie Tiao, she was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.
Xie Tiao ranked 30th on the Heavenly Dao Golden List, and the gap between the two was like an insurmountable chasm.
The moment the demonic seed manifested, Xie Tiao's fingertips moved slightly.
Before Zhu Yuyan could recover, her gaze became unfocused and she lost her senses.
"Trying to get away with it is laughable."
Xie Tiao sneered, mocking Zhu Yuyan's overestimation of her abilities.
Just as they were about to delve deeper into her memories to find Shang Xiufang's whereabouts—
"problem occurs!"
Outside the secret realm, a gaunt, sinister-looking old man darted in like a ghost.
Xie Tiao remained unmoved and continued to urge the demonic seed to seize memories.
Hurried footsteps could be heard outside the Evil Emperor's Palace.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, someone has broken into the mountain gate and is demanding to see you."
"Useless! You couldn't even stop one person..."
Xie Tiao flew into a rage, before he could finish speaking.
"Boom—"
The barrier of the secret realm shattered with a crash, and dozens of demonic sect disciples lay sprawled on the ground.
"Xie Tiao, how long do you plan to hide?"
Chuan Ying, carrying the Dragon Soul Blade on his shoulder and the Phoenix Blood Sword at his waist, stepped into the main hall as if it were empty.
"So it was you... Chuan Ying?"
Xie Tiao stared at the newcomer's aura and instantly recognized his identity.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately understood Chuan Ying's purpose.
"You think you're worthy to even glimpse my supreme divine skill?"
The Demon Heart Seed is the highest inheritance of the Demonic Sect, and the Demon Heart Seed Dao Technique is the key to Xie Tiao's breakthrough.
After receiving the reward from the Heavenly Ranking, he anticipated that it would attract covetous eyes from all sides.
Therefore, he deliberately hid in the secret realm of the Demonic Sect, hoping to be the first to decipher its mysteries.
Unexpectedly, the secret realm was found so quickly.
Even more unexpectedly, the one who came was Chuan Ying, who was ranked 30th on the Kyushu Power Ranking!
"With this pair of dragon souls and phoenix blood!"
Chuan Ying slowly drew his divine weapon, then suddenly changed the subject:
"And the Azure Dragon Society behind me!"
Upon hearing this, the restless members of the Demonic Sect immediately fell silent.
A top expert from the entire Nine Provinces, coming to challenge someone, still needs to bring out his backer?
This is too...
The disciples of the Demonic Sect present all lowered their heads, fearing they would be mistaken for enemies of the Azure Dragon Society.
After all, even their arch-enemy, Cihang Jingzhai, was destroyed by the Qinglong Society.
Di Ni's head still hangs at the Jingzhai site.
No one thinks they can be tougher than Dini.
Xie Tiao was so angry that he staggered.
How can someone bully others with such self-righteousness?
He, the Evil Emperor, has always been the one bullying others!
It's true what they say, fortunes change every thirty years.
Xie Tiao almost burst into tears.
"How dare you run wild in the Holy Land of the Demonic Sect! Attack!"
Faced with a formidable foe, Xie Tiao had no choice but to withdraw the demonic seed and release Zhu Yuyan...
Seeing that Chuan Ying's arrival was ill-intentioned, he decided to first have his disciples test the waters.
Normally, at a single command, the disciples of the Demonic Sect would rush forward in a frenzy.
At Xie Tiao's command, the members of the Demonic Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.
No one dared to move, let alone step forward to fight.
Nobody wants to be on the Green Dragon Society's list for no reason.
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"
"With a formidable enemy before you, your cowardice is a disgrace to the Holy Gate!"
Xie Tiao's face flushed red, and he roared repeatedly.
"Enough with the nonsense."
"The entire Demonic Sect is full of cowards."
"Either hand over the secret manual, or—die!"
There was a time when others said these words to me.
Now, with the support of the Azure Dragon Society and Ximen Yu's influence, Chuan Ying can finally return those words to them exactly as they were.
Those who follow me will prosper, those who go against me will perish!
"Fine! Today I'll see what makes you, Chuan Ying, worthy to be my equal!"
Xie Tiao, enraged, laughed instead, his true energy surging, and he suddenly pounced on Chuan Ying.
"Fancy and overly elaborate."
Chuan Ying saw through Xie Tiao's seemingly impressive move at a glance.
In reality, they are all bark and no bite.
With a disdainful sneer, swords and blades were drawn simultaneously.
He was famous for his swordsmanship when he was young, but later he abandoned swordsmanship to practice sabers, and his saber skills also reached the pinnacle.
