The blood dragon swimming on the Sage Cloak merged its claws with Xi's arm, firmly grasping the Scarlet Blood War Banner.
This made it hard for Xiao Suo to advance. What blocked him was not a person but a vast dynasty.
The moon reigned supreme, and the blood dragon supported him.
The Scarlet Blood Pirate King's undefeatable battle hunger could force back Xi's aura. However, it could not stop a dynasty.
"How unfortunate."
Xi sighed softly, "I can't see the Scarlet Blood Pirate King personally. Defeating his inheritor is simply an unfair victory."
Xiao Suo gently twisted the hand holding the banner pole. He felt like he could not hold the banner properly. As Xiao Suo slowly moved the banner pole, Demonic Energy flowed through his palm and entered his body, looking like a demonic dragon rampaging through his body.
"Blood Dyeing the Sky!"
Xiao Suo suppressed the Demonic Dao Divine Energy in his body and roared ferociously. A mysterious phenomenon immediately appeared.
Blood dyed the sky red, and a vast sea roared. Huge waves surged, and a vast aura instantly formed.
Boundless blood filled the sky, dyeing it red. Below was a vast sea with surging waves, each one taller than the one before.
Xiao Suo's Scarlet Blood War Banner covered his body, creating layers of waves. Then, he took a step forward with the Scarlet Blood War Banner in his hand.
The Scarlet Blood War Banner broke through the other party's dragon claw and pierced his chest, launching a great counterattack.
"Roar!"
However, the blood dragon on Xi's black robes came to life in an instant. A scarlet dragon image circled around Xi. Then, the dragon head hovered above Xi's head and roared ferociously at the surging waves.
"Rumble …!" The waves surged back, and the blood-stained sky slowly faded.
The blood dragon raged, directly forcing back the surging aura.
"Pu ci!"
The backlash from the killing move forced Xiao Suo to vomit a mouthful of blood. He could no longer tightly grip the Scarlet Blood War Banner.
The other party's Demonic Energy War Banner surged over like a spiral.
First, Xiao Suo suffered a backlash. Then, he was ruthlessly knocked back by this attack.
As soon as Zhang Xuan landed on the ground, before he could even react, Xi waved the war banner in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
A miserable shriek rang out as the banner tip pierced Xiao Suo's chest, pinning him to the ground.
The Demonic Dao Divine Energy on the war banner flowed through Xiao Suo's chest, invading his limbs and bones like a ferocious tiger.
Xiao Suo was immediately suppressed, pinned to the ground, unable to move.
To an Imperial Lord, the heart was no longer a vital point unless they used their Divine Essence to extinguish all the vitality in the body. Otherwise, if a Sovereign Emperor were to leave behind a drop of blood that contained lifeforce, they would be able to be reborn. However, without a Rebirth Mystic Art, the process would be slower.
Even if their physical bodies were destroyed and their divine seals were not destroyed in time, an Empyrean Lord's soul could still escape.
Xi's move completely suppressed Xiao Chen's physical body and soul.
Then, Xiao Chen used the Scarlet Blood War Banner to pin him to the ground. Although it would not harm his foundation, the humiliation would be devastating.
More importantly, Empyreans were difficult to kill. Since Xi could restrain Xi without spending too much effort, he would definitely know when to give up.
Not killing Xiao Suo was not his benevolence. His main objective was to catch up to Xiao Chen.
"You are too weak. You have only scratched the surface of the Scarlet Blood Pirate King's indomitable battle hunger."
After saying that, Xi swaggered over, not bothering to look back at Xiao Suo.
Ah!
Xiao Suo gripped the blood-colored war banner with both hands and clenched his teeth, wanting to pull it out. His facial features contorted, and even after exerting all his strength, it was to no avail.
It had to be said that this was a great irony.
Xiao Chen was pinned to the ground by his own Scarlet Blood War Banner, yet he could not do anything about it. No one would want to endure such humiliation.
However, Xiao Suo did not mind at all. Even though his Divine Energy and Soul Energy were suppressed, he was like an ordinary person now.
He only had brute force left, and he did not give up.
What was worse was that the tip of the banner pierced his chest. Every movement brought intense pain that could cause him to faint at any moment.
However, Xiao Suo did not give up. He did not get distracted or hesitate. He focused on slowly pulling out the Scarlet Blood War Banner.
Xiao Suo showed a ferocious expression, and sweat dripped down his forehead like rain. He completely displayed the brute force, tenacity, and ferocity of a pirate captain.
"Ka ca!"
Xi, who had already walked some distance away, stopped and turned to look.
He saw blood spurting out of Xiao Suo's chest like a fountain as he lay on the ground. Xiao Suo had used his own brute force to pull out the Scarlet Blood War Banner.
The instant Xiao Suo pulled out the war banner, the restriction that Xi left in his body collapsed like a gushing river.
Xiao Suo held up the Scarlet Blood War Banner, allowing it to flutter in the air. Then, he stood up again.
The blood-stained war banner did not diminish its elegance at all. Instead, it added lofty aspirations and hot-bloodedness.
The war banner fluttered noisily. It was not the wind blowing at the banner but the banner fluttering in the wind. The blazing battle hunger in Xiao Suo's heart drove this once unrivaled war banner.
As Xiao Suo held up the war banner, it was like he was not standing on the ground but on a vast ocean.
His battle hunger and his pirate heart seemed to infect this land of absolute beginning. A ship slowly broke out of the ground.
A group of experts who once followed this war banner turned into war souls. They rode a ship from the distant river of time, coming under orders.
A vast ocean surged before Xi's eyes. Xiao Suo stood on the bow of the ship, and many other warships materialized behind him. The souls of experts stood on the bow of those warships, facing the wind and riding the waves.
Xi revealed some surprise on his face. He asked in a strange tone, "Did you not feel humiliated at all in that earlier scene?"
Xi had not expected Xiao Suo to stand up again.
If it were an ordinary person, after being pinned to the ground by their own weapon, they would have broken down due to the great humiliation. This would leave an indelible shadow in their hearts in the future.
However, Xi did not see any humiliation or hatred in Xiao Suo.
Xi was not shocked at the strength of the Scarlet Blood War Banner. To think that it could summon war souls of the past and materialize many strong warships.
Xi was shocked at Xiao Suo's temperament. Such a person was the blind spot of his demonic eye of fear. If he was so resilient, he would not feel any fear in his heart.
"The Scarlet Blood Pirate King spent half his life wandering from place to place. He lived like a dog for half his life, but he never gave up on his pirate heart. The humiliation just now was nothing to me. Compared to the wind and rain I experienced on the sea, it is nothing. "
Xiao Suo showed a calm and unruffled expression, not showing any rage or dissatisfaction at all.
"Why bother? Even if you blocked me, at least two of the people chasing Xiao Chen are no weaker than me. Only death awaits him. "
Xiao Suo grabbed his collar and tossed it up.
The black robes turned into a blood moon that slowly rose. Under the blood moon, Xi spoke unhurriedly as he looked at Xiao Suo.
Xi stretched out his hand and beckoned. The Demonic Imperial Sword, which was stabbed into the ground somewhere, buzzed and turned into a beam of black light that entered his palm.
All this showed that Xi treated Xiao Suo as a true opponent and was truly enraged.
"All I need to know is that by blocking you, Xiao Chen will have one less strong opponent. There is no need for you to shake my will. After receiving a favor, I will remember it for life. It has already merged into my soul and bloodline. "
Xiao Suo lowered the war banner on the warship's bow and pointed it at the other party. After some thought, he said, "Attack, then."
…
As Xi and Xiao Suo fought:
Xiao Chen, Jiang He, Chu Chaoyun, and the others took the opportunity to retreat. However, Yuan Zhen, who was in the sky, used the auspicious clouds to pursue them. Xiao Chen could not shake off Yuan Zhen, who kept his eyes on him.
The more problematic thing was that the Silver Dragon King, Sikong Shu, Dao Yan, Wenren Yu, Yan Cangming, Zhen Yuan, and the others held the Ethereal Immortal Palace keys.
All of them reacted. The crux of the Ethereal Immortal Palace lay with Jiang He, so they gave chase as well.
Yuan Zhen attacked again. Xiao Chen and the others did not want to waste time with him, so they delayed themselves and dodged.
"Boom!"
The ground within five thousand kilometers caved in, and a huge palm imprint appeared.
If this palm strike landed, it would not be good. They would either die or be injured.
"The sea of bitterness is boundless. Repent and the shore is at hand!"
While the group dodged, Yuan Zhen landed in front of them, blocking their path.
A sea of bitterness appeared. Yuan Zhen sat on a lotus platform, looking at the others from a distance. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Ming Xuan and Yang Qing arrived in an instant. The Silver Dragon King and Sikong Shu landed together. Yan Cangming and Zhen Yuan blocked the left path.
Dao Yan and Wenren Yu were even farther away, rushing over unhurriedly.
Ambushes immediately surrounded the group. There was no way out in the sky or on the ground.
Xiao Chen looked around and sighed. He already made up his mind. He looked at Jiang He and said, "As a friend, this is as far as I can help you. I'll deal with this monk."
"I'll help block the Silver Dragon King and Sikong Shu," Chu Chaoyun added.
"Leave Ming Xuan and Yang Qing to me."
Since there was no way out in the sky or on the ground, Xiao Chen could only help Jiang He block the strongest few and see if Jiang He could take the opportunity to break out.
"Even if you didn't say anything, I would be too embarrassed to remain here. Many thanks."
Jiang He knew that for Xiao Chen to be able to help him this much, he had already done his best, far surpassing that of a friend.
Without any hesitation or delay, a dragon roar came from Jiang He's body as he soared towards a certain opening.
The mighty dragon roar caused the surroundings to tremble slightly under this furious roar.
Jiang He's body exuded a rare Dragon Might, giving off an ethereal and holy feeling.
"The mysteries of the Heaven Dragon."
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up as he immediately recognized it. It looked like this Jiang He was not weak, either.
What was the mysteries of the Heaven Dragon? One had to have great boldness and breadth of mind, to be able to encompass the boundless sky.
However large the sky was, one's heart had to be as large as the sky.
One had to be able to encompass the sky and not become one with it, walking the path of no return. One had to be one with the sky and yet be outside it. This was where the ethereal feeling came from.
"Attack!"
Seeing that Jiang He wanted to flee, a murderous intent appeared in Yuan Zhen's eyes as he immediately attacked.
Xiao Chen, Chu Chaoyun, and Hao Kai had expected this long ago. Their figures flashed as they blocked their opponents.
They had to create a path of survival for Jiang He amidst this desperate situation where he was being ambushed from every direction.
However, just at this moment, something strange happened. All the cultivators holding the Ethereal Immortal Palace keys felt their keys tremble for no reason.
All of them felt their keys trembling for no reason, and their faces instantly changed.
