Hearing the four words, Ling Xiaozui was stunned, and so was Dugu Chou.
The Nine Supremes return, the earth will split and the sky will be overturned; the martial world and the world will be reigned supreme!
These four phrases were widespread; too many people had heard of them. While they were not universally known, they were well known.
To experts like Ling Xiaozui, however, they did not think much of it. After all, they were already at the pinnacle of this world, boasting that they knew the cultivators of this world like the back of their hands. The Nine Supremes' supernatural powers were remarkable, but they were still within the limits of this world. It was too much to expect them to split the earth and turn the sky upside down!
However, when these four phrases came from Heaven's Inquisition, Gu Chaliang's mouth, it was different from the past. At least, it was different for Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou. There must be a deeper meaning behind it!
Feng Xiange, who was standing aside, had a glint in his eyes as he said with a smile, "The Nine Supremes return?"
He said curiously, "The Nine Supremes return is the Nine Supremes' matter after all. What does it have to do with your purple jade flute? Could it be that the great destiny you spoke of just now is all tied to this flute? "
As he spoke, he reached out to take it.
Gu Chaliang had intended to pass the purple jade flute to Ling Xiaozui and send it to the Residence of Nine Supremes in Tiantang City as soon as possible. He did not hold it in his hand as usual, but propped it on his palm. He was kneeling on the ground, waiting for Ling Xiaozui's action. Ling Xiaozui, on the other hand, was deep in thought and had yet to snap out of it. Naturally, he could not take it in time.
Feng Xiange's timely move seemed slow but was actually fast. It was so fast that before the three experts could think of stopping him, he had already grabbed one end of the purple jade flute.
Gu Chaliang was quick to react, grabbing the other end almost instinctively. He cried out anxiously, "What are you doing? Take it back!"
Feng Xiange said with a smile, "It's only a purple jade flute. Why are you so anxious? Could there really be some hidden secret?! Let me take a look. "
His words were spoken with a smile, but his hands were firm as he exerted his strength. Gu Chaliang could only feel an immense force that he could no longer hold on to the purple jade flute. His hand was empty as the flute was snatched away by Feng Xiange.
Gu Chaliang panicked, spitting a mouthful of blood as he hissed, "Feng Xiange! You! "
He turned to look at Ling Xiaozui and roared anxiously, "What are you waiting for? It's over! It's over! "
Ling Xiaozui turned his head abruptly. There was really no time to consider anything now. He stretched his arm out to Feng Xiange and said, "Give it to me!" His eyes were gleaming with a sharp glint.
At a time like this, he instinctively chose to believe in Gu Chaliang.
Gu Chaliang's actions earlier had already indicated that the matter was of great importance and could not be messed up. Even a moment of delay would be a sin. Moreover, Feng Xiange had been severely injured earlier. His current condition should be the weakest among the four of them. He should not have the ability he currently possessed. It was already very suspicious!
Feng Xiange chuckled. "Brother Ling, why are you doing this? It's just a flute. Don't tell me that with our friendship, looking at it and fiddling with it for a while, what's there to fight over? "
Clang!
It was the sound of a long sword being unsheathed. Feng Xiange turned to look at the source of the sound and saw Dugu Chou holding a long sword in his hand. His gaze was chilling as well, already in a stance where he was one with his sword. His eyes were staring at Feng Xiange like two beams of sword light that could tear through the heavens as he said in a low voice, "Give it to me!"
Feng Xiange seemed to be enraged as he hollered, "What is this? What are you doing? The two of you are simply unreasonable. Are you really coveting this so-called great opportunity?! "
He held the purple jade flute in his hand, seeming to be infuriated. "We've gone through so many life-and-death situations together. Are you actually going to attack me just because of some ridiculous nonsense?"
"Hmph! What Nine Supremes Unite? Watch me destroy this flute first to cut off your delusions. Otherwise, your cultivation journey will be ruined if your state of mind is flawed! "
He gripped one end of the purple jade flute and snapped it downwards resolutely with a huff.
"How dare you!" Gu Chaliang was furious.
Ling Xiaozui unsheathed his sword and pointed it between Feng Xiange's brows as well, hollering, "Hand over the jade flute, it's not too late!"
The chilliness hit him in the face, causing the muscles on Feng Xiange's face to twitch. It chilled him like he was submerged in an icy spring.
He lifted his head slowly, looking at Ling Xiaozui in disbelief before glancing at Dugu Chou. His rage intensified as he hollered, "You're willing to go against your conscience when you see an opportunity? Do you want to attack me? Come on! Both of you, come at me together. Let's see if I'm afraid! "
Gu Chaliang exclaimed, "Quick, it's too late …"
Feng Xiange channeled his mystical energy, holding the purple jade flute as he said, "Come! Win me, and you can have this purple jade flute! "
Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou frowned at the same time but did not make a move.
If they were to really fight, what Gu Chaliang had said would be too late, no matter what would happen next.
Feng Xiange's current demeanor, in particular, could very well destroy the purple jade flute the moment they clashed. He could even borrow the combined force of both of them to destroy the treasure.
"Feng Xiange, who are you? Why do you have to pretend when things have come to this? " The sharpness in Ling Xiaozui's gaze grew sharper. A wave of sword energy slowly grew and converged on him, rising gradually.
Feng Xiange chuckled and said, "Ling Xiaozui, you haven't drunk any wine. Why are you talking drunkenly? Don't you even recognize me? You want to fall out with me just because of some illusory opportunity?! "
Ling Xiaozui nodded slowly and said, "Hand over the purple jade flute before I count to three! Otherwise, it will be the moment I shatter my own sword heart! "
He enunciated each word clearly, "I believe you know what that means!"
Feng Xiange's pupils shrunk as he said, "I know, you know too. Why not try? Do you dare? "
Ling Xiaozui nodded slowly. The sword energy surrounding him thickened and soared into the sky as he uttered slowly, "One!"
Feng Xiange chuckled. "Why would you do that? I believe you dare …"
"Two!" Ling Xiaozui hollered.
He didn't stop at all. It was obvious that he didn't hesitate at all.
Feng Xiange rolled his eyes and said, "We're friends. There's no need for a life-and-death struggle. I'll give it to you."
Suddenly, a loud holler rang out, "Dugu Chou! What are you waiting for? "
Before his words echoed in the air, he shot into the sky from where he stood like a cannonball. Mystical Qi surged into the purple jade flute while Feng Xiange soared like a ray of light.
Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou's swords struck at the same time, the sword light pointed straight at Feng Xiange who was in midair!
The sword energy tore through the nine heavens!
With a loud cry, Feng Xiange swayed in midair and spun, turning upside down and feet up. He was shrouded in a boundless hurricane!
The next moment!
A deafening explosion resounded.
