'That's him!'
Ling Xiao said. Although he didn't recognize Mammoth Mountain, he recognized Dragon-Mammoth.
Now that Dragon-Mammoth was being held hostage, there was no need to ask who he was.
Ling Xiao was just about to make a move when he sensed a powerful aura from the imperial palace.
Dugu Bajian had appeared.
Ling Xiao frowned, then reined in his aura and waited for the right moment to strike.
Most likely, Dugu Bajian was a fifth division Lifeseizer.
And Mammoth Mountain was also in the fifth division.
If Ling Xiao were to charge out now, he would be caught in a pincer attack from both of them. That wouldn't be worth it.
Since Dragon-Mammoth wasn't in any immediate danger, Yang Qi decided to observe the situation.
If things went south, then he would make his move.
"So you're Emperor Dugu Bajian of the Sword Dynasty?"
Mammoth Mountain said, looking down at Dugu Bajian with complete disdain.
Dugu Bajian hovered there in midair, his face cold and emotionless. His eyes were filled with cunning and intelligence.
He had ruled the Sword Dynasty for hundreds of years, and no one had ever succeeded in wresting control from him.
Whether it was in terms of strength or scheming, he was terrifying.
"Who are you, sire?"
Dugu Bajian asked coolly.
"You don't need to know," Mammoth Mountain said coolly. "Just give up your position and submit to me.
Mammoth Mountain's arrogance was beyond imagination.
The experts in Sword God City were all discussing the situation, and were convinced that this man was even more arrogant than Ling Xiao had been in the past.
He actually dared to make Dugu Bajian hand over the position of emperor?
"You must be joking, sire," Mammoth Mountain said. "The Sword Dynasty has existed for ten thousand years. There's a reason why it exists. Not even Dragon Mother of the Myriad Kingdoms would dare to force me to abdicate. You're far too arrogant."
Dugu Bajian looked disdainfully at Mammoth Mountain.
Truth be told, he could tell that Mammoth Mountain was from the Dracomammoth Clan.
"Bullshit like that might work on a kid, but it won't work on me, Mammoth Mountain!"
Mammoth Mountain laughed heartily.
For generations, the Myriad Kingdoms had told their descendants that the Sword Dynasty was weak enough to be bullied and humiliated. But that didn't mean they shouldn't try to take it for themselves.
Unless there was a change in their own ranks.
However, Xiang Shan did not believe such a warning at all. He felt that those old fellows were too stubborn and useless.
"I still have to believe the words of the elderly."
Dugu Bajian said indifferently, "We will definitely not give the throne to you. However, if you want something else, we might be able to give it to you on account of the Myriad Kingdom Dragon Mother."
Even if he knelt down and begged for mercy now, he wasn't afraid of being laughed at.
Because the people of Sword Dynasty knew how terrifying the other eight great powers were, their Emperor was nothing in the eyes of others.
If the other party only wanted something, he wouldn't mind giving it to the other party. After all, it was better to make a friend than to have more enemies.
After all, the Immemorial Divine Tomb was about to open soon, and he had to focus on that.
"I want everything else, but I need the throne even more!"
Xiang Shan did not back down.
Xiang Shan was really overbearing. He thought that he could disregard the martial artists of Sword Dynasty just because he came from Wan Country.
Even if he asked Dugu Bajian to kneel, Dugu Bajian would probably agree. However, giving up the throne was out of the question.
That was Dugu Bajian's bottom line.
"So you're saying you're going to take it by force?"
Dugu Bajian said, his eyes flickering with terrifying killing intent. After all, Ling Xiao and Jian Fulong had caused a huge ruckus in Sword God City, Dugu Bajian's reputation had been severely damaged.
That day, he had been on the verge of a breakthrough, and hadn't wanted to interrupt his cultivation.
But now that he had, and Xiang Shan didn't know what was good for him, he had no choice but to play along.
"So what if I take it by force? I'd advise you not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!
If you give up the throne, I'll let you serve me, and you'll still be rich and powerful.
But if you insist on making an enemy of me, then don't blame me for being vicious and merciless. "
Xiang Shan chuckled coldly.
"Vicious and merciless? Go ahead and try!
You're just a fifth division Lifeseizer. Do you really think you can cause trouble in Sword Dynasty? "
If Xiang Shan had been a sixth division Lifeseizer, Dugu Bajian wouldn't have dared to fight him head-on.
But he was only a fifth division Lifeseizer. What did he have to fear?
Dugu Bajian's dragon robes fluttered even though there was no wind.
His Bloodthirsty Demon Sword glowed with blood-red light.
A terrifying killing intent filled the air.
"Good! Very good! I never would have guessed that the emperor of Sword Dynasty would be such a tough nut to crack!
How dare you challenge the might of the Sacred Dynasty of All Kingdoms!
Since that's the case, I guess I'll just have to kill you and take your throne.
Maybe you want to take the God-Devil Medallion and head to the Primeval God Necropolis.
But let me tell you, you have no chance!
Those three medallions are only for those who are loyal to me. "
Xiang Shan casually tossed the dracomammoth out of the way.
Someone jumped out of the crowd and caught it.
Ling Xiao saw what was happening, and realized that the person who caught the dracomammoth was an expert on the same level as Chen Dadao.
He was also a fifth division Lifeseizer, although he was only in the early fifth division.
Someone like that could be easily killed by Xiao Jin.
And yet, Ling Xiao didn't make a move.
He wanted to wait for the two of them to begin fighting, and then make his move.
Finally, Dugu Bajian made the first move. He waved his Bloodthirsty Demon Sword, sending out a terrifying beam of sword energy.
It was none other than the Monarch Hegemon Sword!
The Sword Qi filled the air, but Dugu Bajian did not stop there. At the same time, he also pounced out, moving side by side with the Sword Qi towards Xiang Shan.
"Do it, Xiao Jin!"
Ling Xiao knew that his chance had come, so he summoned Xiao Jin.
In that moment, no one realized what the dazzling golden light represented.
Mammoth Mountain didn't know.
Only now did he realize that Dugu Bajian wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Therefore, he had no choice but to throw himself into the fight.
"Boss, he's back!"
Xiao Jin said, flying back with dracomammoth in hand.
Ling Xiao placed him in his spirit ring, but didn't leave.
Mammoth Mountain versus Dugu Bajian. This was a rare fight between two experts, and both were his enemies. Therefore, he wanted to see how strong they were.
Mammoth Mountain easily dodged Dugu Bajian's attack.
Following that, the battle between the two quickly entered a stalemate.
Up in the air, two figures, one yellow and one blue, could be seen flickering.
Cultivators under the Lifeseizing level didn't have enough eyesight to see what was going on.
And yet, Ling Xiao could easily see them.
Of course, he had to admit that, even if he used his Heaven-Dominating Martial Soul, he still wouldn't be a match for them.
Unless he made a breakthrough!
But that was exactly the kind of opponent he liked.
They couldn't kill him easily, but he could always make breakthroughs as he fought them.
'I really can't wait to give this a try.'
Ling Xiao didn't feel the slightest bit of fear in the face of such powerful opponents. In fact, he was excited.
