"Thousand Autumns Sage, what do we do now?"
After recovering from their shock, You Chi and Sang Yu simultaneously turned to look at the youth not too far away.
Although they belonged to the Firmament Realm and the Underworld Realm, they had a common enemy at this moment. Moreover, among the three of them, this person was the strongest and had the most schemes. It was better for him to be the leader.
"Don't rush to attack, wait!"
Xue Qianqiu harrumphed coldly.
The two of them understood.
The dark clouds of Su Yin's Stage Three Sage Tribulation had already arrived. Now was the best time to kill him, not now.
"Do you think I'll give you time?"
Su Yin smiled coldly.
While the other party could afford to wait, Zhang Xuan naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. Otherwise, if he were to be attacked from both sides, he might really lose his life.
With a long hiss, the True Dragon Sword in his hand stabbed towards Sage Sang Yu.
Under normal circumstances, it would be best to capture the ringleader first. Only by killing the core experts would one be able to resolve the crisis. However, the situation was different at this moment. Xue Qianqiu was also at grade-3 pinnacle, and he had comprehended the Great Dao of Thousand Autumns. He had all kinds of treasures in his possession, so it would be impossible to kill him within a short period of time.
Therefore, the best way to deal with them was to kill the weaker ones first, and then concentrate all their forces to deal with the stronger ones.
Otherwise, if they were allowed to work together, they would definitely suffer a great loss.
Guessing Su Yin's intentions, Xue Qianqiu slid forward and executed a flurry of sword qi to fend off Su Yin's assault. At the same time, he said with a resounding voice, "You Chi and Sang Yu, even though we have our differences in the past, I hope that we can put aside our differences and fight against the enemy together! Otherwise, there will be more deaths. "
You and Chi were more than happy to oblige. They hurriedly nodded. "That's right! Fighting the enemy together is the way to go! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them gathered together and glared at Su Yin.
Previously, they were divided into two camps, each with their own thoughts, and did not dare to get too close to each other. Now that they had come to an agreement and were extremely close to each other, the threat they posed instantly doubled.
This was especially true for Xue Qianqiu, who was a Peak Rank-3 powerhouse. Previously, he did not dare to use his full strength because he was afraid that his opponent would cause trouble. Now that they were working together, his worries were gone, and he actually gave off a feeling of reverence.
Narrowing his eyes, Su Yin stopped attacking and sheathed his sword.
At this moment, he was faced with a dilemma.
The first option was to attack the three of them with all his might. Although he might be able to kill You Chi and Sang Yu, it would not be easy for him. Both sides would be severely injured. In that case, it would be almost impossible for him to pass the Third Grade Saint Tribulation.
Although there was no lightning, it was enough to kill many Level Four Saints within a range of five hundred thousand miles. It was hard to say whether they could withstand it when they were at their peak, let alone when they were heavily injured.
The second method was to continue the standoff. The three of them would definitely not make the first move. Instead, they would wait for the lightning to strike.
The Level Three Thunder Tribulation also had four strikes and nine strikes. Even if the power of the first three strikes was weaker, it would definitely not be weaker than the last strike of the Level Two Thunder Tribulation. It might even be stronger. As long as one could pass through this level of Thunder Tribulation, one's cultivation would definitely be more solid and his combat strength would increase significantly.
However, there was a problem as well. Every single lightning tribulation would deplete a great deal of their strength. By then, even without the three of them making a move, it would be difficult for them to deal with the fourth lightning tribulation. Not to mention, they would have to conserve most of their strength in order to prevent any sneak attacks.
Attacking was out of the question, and not attacking was even more out of the question …
What to do?
Su Yin's mind spun, but there was nothing he could do.
He lowered his head and looked at the True Dragon Sword in his hand.
After being nourished by the Dragon Blood and Sage Sang Yu's saint energy, it had already transformed into a golden dragon that would soar into the sky at any moment. Even though it had not reached the level of a Saint artifact yet, it was just a step away from taking the final step.
Its strength had increased significantly, but it was still too weak in the face of the current situation.
Putting everything else aside, the sword in Xue Qianqiu's hand had probably reached the level of a Saint artifact as well.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had stopped making a move, You Chi and the others did not rush to attack. Instead, they looked at the ominous clouds in the sky, waiting for the lightning to strike.
Su Yin knew that the three of them would be waiting for him if he did not make a move. Thus, he suddenly thought of something and turned to the distance. "Dragon Emperor!"
The Dragon Emperor was facing off against the Phoenix Monarch and Phoenix Empress. Upon hearing Zhang Xuan's words, his face darkened. "Hmph!"
Su Yin did not think much of it. Instead, he smiled and said, "Let's be honest! I have your bloodline in me, which is why I was able to fuse with the Dragon Blood and make a breakthrough. This True Dragon Sword is made of the bone of a True Dragon, and you gave it to me personally … There's no need to continue acting! "
"Bullsh * t! Who's acting with you?" the Dragon Emperor roared furiously.
Su Yin replied, "Haven't you always thought that the Dragon Tribe, as the Ancient Divine Beast, has been suppressed by the rise of mankind and lost its standing? Haven't you always hated the rise of mankind? Now that Xue Qianqiu, You Chi, and Sang Yu are right before you, if you kill them … you'll be able to prove to the world that the Dragon Tribe is the number one Divine Beast in the world, and no one dares to defy it. What a great opportunity this is! "
"Are you trying to drive a wedge between us?" the Dragon Emperor asked with narrowed eyes.
Su Yin burst into laughter. "You know best whether I am or not. As the head of the Dragon Tribe, you should have known that I'm the descendant of the thirty-six Ancient Sages … Otherwise, no matter how capable an eighteen -year-old young man like me is, there's no way I could have deceived an expert of your level!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was trying to frame him, the Dragon Emperor flew into a rage. He was just about to speak when the Phoenix Monarch sighed deeply. "Alright, Ao Feng. Since we've already made things clear, there's no need to continue acting. Let's lay all our cards on the table …"
"…" The Dragon Emperor's vision darkened.
Lay all your cards on the table!
When did I put on an act?
He hurriedly turned his gaze to Xue Qianqiu and the others to explain himself, only to see a wary look on their faces.
This was the Dragon Emperor, one of the strongest experts in the world! How could he possibly be fooled by a mere Quasi-Sage?
Besides, the Phoenix Monarch had already admitted to it.
After all, the Dragon Tribe and the Phoenix Tribe had always been on the same side …
"If I had allied myself with them, I wouldn't have been injured so badly …" The more the Dragon Emperor thought about it, the more furious he felt.
"Without your blood, I wouldn't have been able to withstand the combined assault of the three of them, and the True Dragon Sword wouldn't have been able to break through their defenses either!" Su Yin added.
The Dragon Emperor opened his mouth to explain himself, but he found himself at a loss for words. Thus, he could only repeat himself. "He's trying to drive a wedge between us!"
This was too much of a coincidence. No matter how he tried to explain it, it was simply too much of a coincidence to be true.
"We don't know if he's trying to drive a wedge between us or if the two of you are just putting on an act. Dragon Emperor, if you wish to prove your innocence, I hope that you can leave this place and return to the Dragon Domain!"
Taking a deep breath, Xue Qianqiu continued. "As long as you leave, I'll believe that he's lying. Furthermore, after killing that brat, I'll head to the Dragon Domain to apologize to him personally!"
The Dragon Emperor gritted his teeth. "Dream on!"
Return after suffering such a huge loss? You must be joking!
If he really left, as an ancient divine beast, there would be no need for him to live anymore!
Xue Qianqiu frowned. "What do you intend to do then?"
The Phoenix Monarch burst into laughter. "What else can I do? I'll fight Su Yin together with you! Come, let's kill him together! "
After saying those words, he flew toward the trio.
"You …"
With livid faces, Xue Qianqiu and the others hurriedly retreated.
They might not have been able to discern the Dragon Emperor's attitude, but from the Phoenix Monarch's attitude, they could tell that he was in cahoots with Su Yin!
To fight against Su Yin … Killing them was the only thing that mattered to them!
"Don't leave! I want to ally with you, but you want to run away? Are you looking down on our Phoenix Tribe? "
The Phoenix Monarch's face darkened. Without any hesitation, he reverted to his true form and charged forward.
Si la!
The raging power crushed space and shackled all of them together.
"Phoenix Monarch, are you intending to fall out with our Firmament Mountain and Yellow Springs Sacred Ground?"
Not expecting the Phoenix Monarch to be so powerful right from the start, Xue Qianqiu roared furiously.
The Phoenix Monarch shook his head. "You're thinking too much. I only want to help you deal with Su Yin. Did I say that I want to kill you?"
"You …" Xue Qianqiu was rendered speechless.
From the start, the Phoenix Monarch had never said anything about dealing with them, so they couldn't find any excuse to do so. However, if they allowed the Phoenix Monarch to trap them, their plan to kill Su Yin would be foiled.
Knowing that the Phoenix Monarch would be able to stop the three of them, a glint flashed across Xue Qianqiu's eyes. He turned to the side and said, "Dragon Emperor, this is the perfect opportunity to kill Su Yin. If you aren't with him, there won't be a next time!"
"That's right!"
The Dragon Emperor said with a glint in his eyes. His massive dragon body materialized, and his massive claws tore through the air.
"Ao Feng, how dare you!"
Hearing Xue Qianqiu's words, the Phoenix Monarch knew that the other party had seen through Su Yin's plan. Left with no choice, he released the trio and charged forward.
Boom boom boom!
The two experts clashed with one another once more.
Xue Qianqiu and the others hurriedly retreated, leaving the area as quickly as possible.
While they felt that the Dragon Emperor might have been framed, they couldn't be certain. In other words, while the provocation didn't turn the Dragon Emperor against Xue Qianqiu and the others, it had planted a seed of doubt.
Seeing this sight, the Heaven Measure, who was fighting with Mu Xuan and the others, couldn't help but feel impressed.
Dragging the Dragon Emperor down might seem like an additional enemy, but in truth, Xue Qianqiu and the others were wary of Su Yin.
"It's the Dao of Unity of Sages!"
Of the thirty-six Ancient Sages, there was a Sage who possessed a glib tongue. Many neutral Sages had fallen for his tricks before.
If not for Cang Qiong personally making a move, it would have been hard to say who would emerge victorious.
"Sigh!"
Seeing that Xue Qianqiu had easily resolved the situation, Su Yin sighed.
As expected of the Cang Qiong Saint's proudest disciple, he knew where the key was.
"It would be great if I had a treasure that could heal my injuries and restore my strength quickly!"
A third-grade lightning tribulation was indeed terrifying, but if one didn't care about anything else and charged straight in, it was still possible to overcome it quickly … However, doing so would definitely result in severe injuries that would take a long time to recover.
Unless one could find a treasure that could quickly restore one's strength.
"There are two treasures in the Immortal World that can restore one's strength quickly. The first is the Yellow Springs Saint's Yellow Springs River. The second is the Divine Origin Pond of the Cangqiong Saint! "
Hearing his words, Yang Xuan said.
"Yellow Springs River? Divine Origin Pond? "Su Yin was curious.
"The Yellow Springs River is the main body of the Yellow Springs Saint. Legend has it that the souls of all living beings would be sucked into it after death. However, life and death are interdependent and transmuted into one another. Not only can this treasure absorb the souls of the dead, it can also nourish them. No matter how severe their injuries are or how much energy they consume, soaking in it will allow them to recover quickly.
"As for the Divine Origin Pond, it has a similar effect as the Yellow Springs River. After overcoming the lightning tribulation, as long as one still has a breath left, one can enter it and recover quickly.
"This …" Su Yin was stunned.
If he had any of these treasures, he wouldn't have to worry about the current situation.
After overcoming the lightning tribulation, he would immediately find a way to recover and fight with his full strength …
So what if Xue Qianqiu was strong?
He could still be killed.
It was a pity that such a treasure was in the hands of the Yellow Springs Saint and Cang Qiong Saint. There was no way he could obtain it …
"Wait a minute!"
Zhang Xuan suddenly thought of something and froze. "It hasn't even been an hour since Xue Qianqiu became a Half-Saint. Furthermore, he has also reached Grade-3 pinnacle from Half-Saint. He should have sustained severe injuries from the lightning tribulation, but why is he completely fine? Could it be that … he has a treasure that allows him to recover swiftly? "
"Even if it isn't the Divine Origin Pond, it should be something similar!"
Su Yin's eyes lit up in agitation.
To him, Xue Qianqiu was the Child of Wealth. Every time they met, he had never disappointed him. Could it be that he had a treasure this time as well?
"I have to devise a plan …" A glint flashed across Zhang Xuan's eyes.
He had already used the Yi Yi Yi many times. Even if Xue Qianqiu had a treasure, it was unlikely that he would place it in his storage ring.
Given Zhang Xuan's current cultivation, it wouldn't be easy for him to extract the treasure from Xue Qianqiu's body. He would have to severely injure Xue Qianqiu in order to do so.
And given the current situation, the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Monarch were eyeing him with hostility …
Xue Qianqiu wouldn't put him in danger. If he felt that he couldn't defeat Xue Qianqiu, he would surely flee!
Thus, there was only one way for him to succeed … He had to be quick, vicious, and accurate!
In just half a breath, he would be able to render Xue Qianqiu immobile. Then, he would make use of this opportunity to strip the treasure hidden in his body …
Soon, Zhang Xuan came to a conclusion. He turned to look at the people who were fighting with the Heaven Measure Ruler, and a glint flashed across his eyes. He dashed forward and shouted, "Elder, kill Lingxiao first!"
"Alright!"
The Heaven Measure Ruler immediately understood Zhang Xuan's intentions. Without wasting any time, it struck Mu Xuan and Chi Yan, forcing them to retreat. Then, with a light slash, it tore through space, and a powerful might struck Sage Lingxiao's head.
Before his attack could land, Su Yin had already arrived before him. His Unparalleled Sword Intent, carrying the aura of a Grade-3 pinnacle cultivator, pierced through the air.
"You …"
Saint Lingxiao did not expect that he would become the target of public criticism in the blink of an eye. He was so frightened that his face changed. He did not dare to stop. Blood spurted out, and a thousand-mile-long jade palace appeared in front of him.
"Break!"
The Unparalleled Sword Intent stirred violently, and countless pavilions collapsed instantly.
Although they were both Grade-3 Saints, Su Yin's cultivation base was not only higher than his, but he had also used his most powerful Unparalleled Sword Qi. Sage Lingxiao couldn't block it at all. In just a flash, the Sword Qi pierced through his defenses and arrived at his neck.
At the same time, the Heaven Measure Ruler landed on his head.
"Senior Brother Lingxiao …"
Xue Qianqiu's expression changed.
He was still some distance away from Lingxiao. It was obvious that it was too late for him to save Lingxiao. The only way was to burn his blood essence and perform a secret technique.
