Xue Qianqiu's face darkened. "Senior Zhaoxia …"
Ling Xiao, Mu Xuan, Chi Yan, and the others, who were fighting with the Heaven Measuring Ruler, also trembled in disbelief.
Upon reaching 2-star Saints, they had many means up their sleeves, such that it was difficult for them to die. Even if they were no match for their opponents, they would still have ways to escape. In less than ten breaths, the battle between the two of them had ended in a single blow. Furthermore, the other party was fending off the lightning tribulation.
"If we don't kill him today, we won't have another chance in the future …"
The same thought appeared in everyone's mind.
Su Yin might be young, but his fighting prowess and battle sense were simply too powerful. If they did not kill him now, they would not have another chance in the future.
"We can't wait any longer. If we don't kill him now, he'll become another Sword Saint," the Phoenix Monarch said.
"That's right. Let's do it!" the Dragon Emperor nodded.
They were still thinking that they would be able to take advantage of the situation after Xue Qianqiu and the others were injured. At the same time, they would also be able to wear down the Celestial Dome of Heaven's foundation. However, from the looks of it, there was no telling what would happen if they were to wait any longer.
If a grade-2 lightning tribulation was already so frightening, even they would not be able to deal with him if they allowed him to grow.
Taking a deep breath, the Phoenix Monarch calculated the time in his mind, and with a grim expression, he commanded, "Let's begin!"
Hula!
Upon hearing the command, a tree branch and a spear materialized and pierced toward Su Yin.
Sage Sang Yu and Sage You Crimson!
The two grade-2 Sages followed closely behind the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Monarch. As soon as they made their move, they sealed the space around them with immense killing intent.
The weapon that Sage Sang Yu wielded was an ancient mulberry tree. It was crimson in color, and it was neither metal nor steel. Not only was its trunk well-preserved, but its leaves and branches were so sturdy that they could tear a hole in the sky.
It was Sage Sang Yu's main body.
Sage Sang Yu was not a human but an ancient mulberry tree that had been nurtured by the heavens.
"The sun rises from the east, and the mulberry elm falls!" The ancient mulberry elm had taken root in the Netherworld, and it had been nourished by the sun for many years before it finally achieved a breakthrough.
While Sage Sang Yu's main body was not a Saint-tier artifact, it was far more frightening than most Saint-tier artifacts. As soon as it was brought out, its fighting prowess immediately doubled.
As for You Crimson, he specialized in swordsmanship. After witnessing Sage Zhaoxia's death, he dared not show off his skills.
Spear of the Darkness!
It was forged based on the Netherworld Spear, but its prowess was slightly weaker. It was only at the level of a pinnacle Immortal artifact. However, when paired with the might of a grade-2 pinnacle cultivator, it was still a fearsome weapon. As it pierced through the air, it morphed into a series of afterimages, reminiscent of ghosts wailing in agony.
The two experts attacked at the same time, shattering a large area of space. The wind that was stirred up caused countless rocks to shatter.
Zhang, Zhang, and Crimson son.
Now that he knew that he had been tricked by this brat, his heart was already filled with rage. He wanted nothing more than to kill Su Yin. As soon as he attacked, a huge dragon claw appeared in the sky and tore through the air. Although he was the last to use it, he arrived before Su Yin with his fastest speed.
Even without the help of his bloodline, Crimson Crimson Dragon's cultivation was far beyond Rank Four. With a single strike, Su Yin was immediately immobilized, unable to move.
Crimson Crimson Dragon's body was under immense pressure, making it difficult for him to breathe.
To the human race, he was the only one who had achieved the Sanctification of the Physical Body. However, to the Dragon Race, it was nothing.
"He's my guest. You can't hurt him!"
At this moment, something strange happened. The Phoenix Emperor, who was following behind, also made his move. However, his target was not Su Yin, but the Dragon Emperor.
Crimson Crimson Phoenix sounded as if the sky was being torn apart. Crimson Crimson Phoenix slammed down on Crimson Dragon's back.
Heavenly Cries of the Phoenix!
Crimson Phoenix used its most powerful move.
Crimson Dragon did not expect to be ambushed. Crimson Phoenix spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes widened as he roared, "You two are indeed together …"
Crimson Phoenix and Crimson Phoenix were on par with each other. Crimson Phoenix was injured in just one strike. After roaring, Crimson Phoenix reverted to his original form and swept his thick tail.
A pitch-black crack appeared in space, and the lightning in the sky seemed to have been disrupted by this force, losing its previous might.
"Heh!"
Crimson Phoenix did not dare to take the attack head-on. He leaped into the sky and transformed into a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Phoenix.
Crimson Phoenix roared again. Crimson Phoenix Empress appeared out of nowhere and grabbed at Crimson Phoenix Empress. "How dare you hit Crimson Phoenix Empress! I want you dead!"
Rip!
Crimson Phoenix Empress also launched a sneak attack. Before Crimson Phoenix Empress could say anything, the scales on Crimson Phoenix Empress' back were torn off. Crimson Phoenix Empress' blood splattered everywhere.
"You two are ruthless …"
Crimson Phoenix Empress had no time to attack Su Yin. Crimson Phoenix Empress turned around and looked at the two experts floating in the air.
Crimson Phoenix Empress was the leader of the Heavenly Dragon Tribe. Crimson Phoenix Empress was ambushed twice in a row.
Whoosh!
After the sneak attack, Crimson Phoenix Empress and Crimson Phoenix Empress turned into their human forms. They floated in the air and stopped attacking.
At their level of cultivation, they were the leaders of their tribes. They did not have a life-and-death feud. It was impossible for them to kill Crimson Phoenix Empress.
"Crimson Phoenix Empress, please calm down. I said before that Su Yin is our honored guest. If we let you kill him, you will break the rules and the tribe's rules," Crimson Phoenix Empress said.
"I don't need to do anything. He might not survive!"
Although Crimson Phoenix Empress did not know what Crimson Phoenix Empress's motive was, Crimson Phoenix Empress could not do anything now. Crimson Phoenix Empress snorted and turned to look at Crimson Phoenix Empress.
At this moment, Crimson Phoenix Empress and Sang Yu's power had already reached Crimson Phoenix Empress. Xue Qianqiu had also recovered and stabbed out with his sword.
The power of the three experts surged like waves, trying to drown Crimson Phoenix Empress.
In this situation, Su Yin was only a Rank Two Saint. Even if he was a Rank Four Saint, he might not be able to escape. The danger was several times greater than before.
Facing their attacks, Su Yin did not show the slightest trace of panic in his eyes. Instead, he roared and grabbed at the air.
"Come here!"
Hu!
He grabbed the blood that flowed out of the Crimson Phoenix Empress and Crimson Phoenix Empress when they attacked the Dragon Emperor.
There were dozens of droplets, each of which was the size of a quail egg. They were golden in color and exuded an extremely powerful energy.
At the same time, the final bolt of lightning lost its resistance and descended. It flowed along Crimson Phoenix Empress's meridians and blood vessels, as if it wanted to tear him apart.
"Merge with my body!"
Su Yin Empress said expressionlessly. With a flip of her hand, more than thirty droplets of dragon blood were swallowed. At the same time, more than ten droplets fell on the True Dragon Sword and seeped into the sword through the cracks.
Tzzzzz!
He had refined the Dragon Emperor's blood before, and now that he had experience, the moment the blood entered his chest, it was immediately melted by a special energy and transformed into pure Dragon Qi. It immediately clashed with the lightning in his body.
Lightning was destructive, tearing apart all things, whereas Dragon Qi was restorative, nourishing all beasts.
The two of them clashed, destroying, repairing, repairing, destroying. Su Yin's body seemed to have turned into a gigantic battlefield. The two types of power and the six types of power that had fused together clashed, collided, and experienced thousands of collisions.
It felt like a long time had passed, but it also felt like only an instant. The three types of power fused together. Previously, although the six types of rules were combined, it still gave off a feeling of imperfection.
It was like a seven-colored rope connected from end to end. It could be lengthened, acting as a rope. However, from afar, it looked colorful, clearly pieced together.
At this moment, the fusion was complete. It was like the seven-colored light fusing into sunlight, no longer distinguishable.
The powerful final bolt of lightning was also exhausted, and Crimson Phoenix Empress safely passed.
That was to say, with the help of the dragon blood and the pressure from the two Sages, not only did Su Yin not get injured, his energy even purer and stronger.
Previously, Su Yin's Zhen Yuan contained laws like sword Qi. Now, there was faint lightning and surging Dragon Qi, giving off the feeling of a half-dragon, half-god.
"Haha, thank you for helping me reach rank 3!"
With a long roar, Su Yin knew that the time was ripe. He no longer held back and released the energy of a rank 3 Sage.
Boom!
The ominous clouds in the sky roared again. The two hundred thousand miles of ominous clouds expanded to five hundred thousand miles. Lightning rampaged in the clouds like dragons soaring in the sky. Just looking at it made one's heart palpitate.
If Su Yin had faced such a huge lightning bolt from the start, he would have been severely injured. However, now that his cultivation had increased, he was more confident.
The many Sages hiding in the surroundings and the wills that had spread over felt their scalps tingle when they saw such a huge tribulation cloud.
Even Xue Qianqiu was trembling in disbelief.
He had comprehended a branch of the Dao of Time, and he was also trying to reach rank 3 Sage. However, his tribulation cloud was only a hundred thousand miles.
Didn't this mean that his potential was greater?
In an instant, the murderous intent in his heart intensified.
Ignoring the thoughts of the crowd, Su Yin knew that the lightning in the sky wouldn't descend for the time being. He wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he grabbed again, and sword Qi whistled in his palm.
Peng!
The Morning Dawn Saint, who had just been killed, was also torn apart, turning into pure Holy Spirit Qi. Holding it in his hand, he tapped it lightly, and it entered the cracked True Dragon Sword.
"Make a breakthrough!"
If it was any other time, a high-tier Immortal artifact would have been unable to withstand such a huge amount of energy and exploded on the spot. However, after fusing with the blood essence of the Dragon Emperor, the bones of a python, and the success of Dragonification …
In the blink of an eye, the sword had morphed into a Pureblooded Dragon, and it emanated the aura of a Sage.
Su Yin was actually trying to forge the True Dragon Sword into a Saint-tier artifact in the midst of the battle!
How vicious!
Hong long long!
After fusing with the strength of a rank 2 Sage and the dragon blood essence, the True Dragon Sword's strength soared rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had broken through the shackles of a high-tier Immortal artifact and reached pinnacle.
Its strength continued to rise, and it was already on par with the Solar Trueflame Pill.
At this moment, the Heaven Measure's anxious voice sounded in Zhang Xuan's ears. "You mustn't allow it to reach Sainthood. Otherwise, it'll attract the lightning tribulation …"
As a weapon comparable to a rank 4 Sage, it could tell what the young man was trying to do. It was indeed beneficial to have a Saint-tier Immortal artifact in his possession, especially one that he was best at. However, if he were to do so, the True Dragon Sword would attract the Saint-tier Tribulation as well …
Given how much energy he had accumulated, he should have been able to overcome it easily. However, he had yet to overcome his lightning tribulation. If the Saint-tier Tribulation were to be triggered once more, it would be impossible for anyone to overcome it.
"Alright!"
Su Yin immediately snapped out of his daze. Cold sweat trickled down his back as he gripped the True Dragon Sword tightly in his hand, suppressing the energy that was threatening to break through at any moment.
From You Chi and Sang Yu making a move to Su Yin blowing up Sage Sang Yu's corpse to upgrade the True Dragon Sword, it sounded complicated, but in truth, only three breaths had passed.
Even with the immense strength of the trio being suppressed by the auras, they were barely able to get close to Zhang Xuan.
Knowing that he would be torn apart on the spot, Su Yin released his suppression of the True Dragon Sword and slashed out thrice.
In an instant, all of his strength, coupled with his cultivation, burst forth.
The first slash landed on the branch in Sang Yu's hand. As if struck by frost, the branch's gray skin turned black, and its leaves fell off, leaving only a bare tree trunk.
The second sword strike landed on You Chi's spear, causing it to almost fall out of his hand. The web between his thumb and forefinger was torn, and blood gushed out. Not only that, but a large wound had also appeared on his chest. If he had been a step slower, he might have been split in half on the spot.
The third slash collided with Xue Qianqiu's sword intent, and the two dissipated. Surprisingly, they were evenly matched, and neither of them managed to injure the other. However, Su Yin's three consecutive slashes showed that he was stronger than the other.
Of course, this was also due to his trickery.
He had borrowed the Dragon Emperor's blood and Sage Sang Yu's corpse. In other words, his three slashes were equivalent to the Dragon Emperor's attack and Sage Sang Yu's self-detonation.
The fact that You Chi and the others were able to withstand it was already a testament to their strength.
Hu hu hu!
The three of them retreated simultaneously, blood flowing from the corners of their mouths.
"With the strength of a rank two Saint, not only did he block the attacks of three experts, he even injured them?"
"From the Phoenix Emperor's sneak attack to him using the Dragon Emperor's blood to force them back, he couldn't have missed even a thousandth of a breath's time! Could it be that … the Phoenix Emperor is really in cahoots with him? "
"Isn't their teamwork a little too good …"
"It's fortunate that we didn't make a move. Otherwise, we wouldn't even know how we died …"
…
In an instant, countless wills appeared.
Su Yin's breakthrough had attracted the attention of many Sages. Most of them wanted to take advantage of the situation, so they didn't make a move.
In that situation, no one would have been able to withstand it. Yet, not only did the young man manage to block it, he didn't suffer any injuries at all. Instead, he caused the sneak attacker to suffer a huge loss. Seeing it with their own eyes, they found it hard to believe.
Everyone was shocked, and Su Yin also let out a breath of turbid air.
Just as they had guessed, it was indeed dangerous. The reason why it was so coincidental was naturally because he had communicated with the Phoenix Emperor in advance.
But of course, the most important factor was the fighting philosophy behind the Path of Teacher.
While the path of a teacher wasn't the strongest of the many occupations, it was definitely the most knowledgeable of them all. With the path of a teacher as one's foundation and the path of swordsmanship as one's offensive prowess, it was as if a tiger had grown wings.
