1070 I’ll Give You a Chance to Die a Glorious Death in Battle (2)
Many people had already recognized that the sword cultivator was Zhang Zhenbiao, the powerful guardian of Mystic Spirit Sword Sect, and he was a half-sage with eight layers of sword cultivation.
Zhang Zhenbiao and Dao Lord Peng Ming were both powerful guardians of this place. Zhang Zhenbiao was a disciple in charge of Mystic Spirit Sword Sect, representing the sect’s suppression, while Dao Lord Peng Ming controlled the grand formation and was also an expert in refining weapons.
These two had always been on good terms, so why did they become enemies today?
“Buzz!”
The long sword in Zhang Zhenbiao’s hand was already raised, and sword radiance converged, forming a four-story golden sword tower.
Under the blessing of the sword radiance on the sword tower, 13 beams of sword light, each 100-foot-long, condensed and soared again, crashing into the rotating canopy.
As for Zhang Zhenbiao himself, he held the long sword in his hand, his figure moved, and he rushed towards Dao Lord Peng Ming.
Seeing Zhang Zhenbiao charging, Dao Lord Peng Ming flicked his sleeve, his figure flashed, and he descended 10,000 feet away, then shouted, “Why don’t you make your move!”
“Boom!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a 100-foot-long body flew out and collided with the longsword in Zhang Zhenbiao’s hand.
A resounding shock that echoed for a hundred miles, the long sword wailed, Zhang Zhenbiao’s face turned red, and he flew back 10,000 feet.
“A great demon?”
He gritted his teeth and growled.
The 100-foot-tall figure was clad in iron armor, with a tiger’s head and a human body. The iron fists, the size of millstones, were covered with scattered black and gloomy gauntlets, emitting a bloody glow.
“The Ascendant Tiger Guard!”
Inside the attic, Zuo Baichou’s face changed drastically, and he lowered his voice, “These are the personal guards under the command of the Ascendant Immortal Demon King in the Bitter Immortal Realm!”
Immortal Demon kings were different from demon kings.
There were countless demon kings of various sizes in the Bitter Immortal Realm, but only those few Zenith Heaven experts who ruled a region could be called ‘Immortal’.
Each of the Zenith Heaven Demon King experts could suppress a region and contend against the major Immortal Dao sects.
“The Ascendant Immortal-Demon King is a great demon who commands the avian race in the Bitter Immortal Realm and stands side by side with the Phoenix-blooded Ascendant Immortal Demon King.” Zhao Chen looked at Han Muye and explained in a low voice.
“The Phoenix-blooded Ascendant Immortal Demon King is said to possess the bloodline of the Phoenix.”
The Phoenix-blooded Ascendant Immortal-Demon King, who possessed the bloodline of the Phoenix, did not come, but instead, the subordinates of the Ascendant Immortal Demon King arrived. This was somewhat strange in itself.
On the other side, the Gale Bandits’ motive for coming here was also hard to predict.
“In that case, your Wanshen Trading Company isn’t relying on these two immortal demon kings?” Han Muye turned around and looked at Zuo Baichuan.
Upon hearing his words, Zuo Baichou smiled bitterly and said, “Brother Han really overestimates our Wanshen Trading Company. Even if it’s not an Immortal-Demon King, as long as there is a Golden Immortal powerhouse supporting us from behind, we wouldn’t be in such dire straits.”
Human Immortal, Heaven Immortal, Golden Immortal, Zenith Heaven.
The Immortal World was also a world for the strong.
Without powerful individuals presiding over it, it would be impossible to gather sufficient wealth.
A Zenith Heaven Immortal Monarch mighty figure above the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm was a top expert who dominated the various immortal realms. Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals were already the overlords of an immortal realm.
The Immortal Demon Kings of the Bitter Immortal Realm had the strength of Zenith Heaven, enough to rampage through.
Of course, the Mystic Spirit Sword Sect had unparalleled powerhouses behind them, certainly not inferior to the Immortal Demon Kings.
However, at their level, without sufficient interests at stake, they wouldn’t engage in senseless conflicts.
It was enough for low-level cultivators to fight and kill each other.
“Boom!”
The Ascendant Tiger Guard struck again with a punch, and Zhang Zhenbiao blocked it with all his might, then retreated 1,000 feet, his face turning red.
The strength of the Ascendant Tiger Guard was unexpectedly stronger than that of the guardian disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sword Sect!
“Roar—”
A roar echoed, and within Sanhuo City, the figures of a hundred Ascendant Tiger Guards appeared.
These individuals stood over three zhang tall, with tiger heads and human bodies, clad in grayish-blue iron armor, wielding long knives and spears. With a single strike, they could reduce anyone or anything within 100 feet to pieces.
For a moment, chaos erupted among the cultivators in the city who had thought they were safe.
“Kill!”
Zhang Zhenbiao roared furiously and disregarded his own safety. The sword in his hand emitted a green light as he clashed with the 100-foot-tall Ascendant Tiger Guards.
His golden sword tower guided thirteen beams of sword light and continued to suppress the rotation of the grand canopy above with all its might.
Indeed, he was a powerful guardian disciple, displaying extraordinary methods. If he were to face the Ascendant Tiger Guards or Dao Lord Peng Ming alone, it would probably be effortless for him.
While the Ascendant Tiger Guards fought against Zhang Zhenbiao, Dao Lord Peng Ming was not idle.
He saw that although his strength had been weakened, he could still suppress the Nine-Death Insects and the Gale Bandits’ array formation in the city. He raised his hand, and talismans scattered, turning into ropes that trapped the Nine-Death Insects.
After binding the Nine-Death Insects, his gaze turned to the Gale Bandits in black armor.
“Just based on you crawling insects, you dare to come to my Sanhuo City?” He sneered, and three illusory figures appeared around Dao Lord Peng Ming.
The three avatars consisted of humans, demons, and a puppet exuding a golden iron aura.
The four figures stood side by side, and with a palm strike from Dao Lord Peng Ming, streams of black and dark flow flashed towards the Gale Bandits.
At this moment, suppressed by the city’s defensive formation, the Gale Bandits were completely powerless to resist. They could only watch as the black streams of light descended upon them.
“Gale—”
A low shout echoed in the void.
A grayish-blue wind silhouette appeared in mid-air, blocking all the black streams of light.
However, these black streams of light seemed to possess intelligence. With just a turn, they passed through the wind vortex and continued to descend.
Two Gale Bandits wearing black armor gritted their teeth. Radiant immortal light emanated from their bodies as their nascent spirits manifested, transforming into a web that collided with the black streams of light.
But as soon as they made contact with the black streams of light, the two of them let out a cry of despair, trembling all over before falling down.
These black streams of light were actually capable of damaging the divine soul!
“This is the Blood Sacrifice Spirit Light. If he completes it, everyone in the city will die!” Above, Zhang Zhenbiao shouted and slashed out with his sword. After forcing the Ascendant Tiger Guards back, he flew down.
“Bang!”
He shattered three black lights with a single slash, causing Dao Lord Peng Ming’s face to turn pale.
