Chapter 261: Chapter 261 Qingsong Arrived Late
Even Hu Nan and Long Hao, both in the tenth stratum of the Saint Realm, couldn’t help but retreat continuously under the impact of the terrifying force, blood overflowing from the corners of their mouths.
Apart from Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon, all the disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect sustained injuries in that strike.
Long Hao was horrified.
This was still with the power of the True Dragon Great Array protecting them, blocking the majority of the force; otherwise, that last attack could have directly blown away the True Dragon Divine Sect.
Seeing this, Wu Peng sneered, “I’d like to see how many times you can block this!” With that, he once again slashed out with his Sky-Stepping Divine Sword.
The Sword Qi of the Sky-Stepping Divine Sword erupted, blasting towards the True Dragon Divine Sect.
Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and others acted simultaneously.
Seventeen Divine Spirits and over a thousand Saint Realm powerhouses unleashed their power, which did not wane but rather grew stronger, even more so than before.
The distant powerhouses from all sides were so frightened that they hastily flew back to avoid the onslaught.
The earth-shaking boom sounded once again.
The terrifying force surged.
Everything around the True Dragon Divine Sect was blown away, crushed, and turned to ashes.
The mighty power that obscured the sun caused the sky to go utterly dark.
After the second bombardment, Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others did not stop, continuing with a third strike, a fourth, and a fifth.
The glow of the True Dragon Divine Sect’s mountain-defense array grew increasingly dim.
Finally, after more than a dozen strikes, the mountain-defense array burst with a loud crack and completely scattered.
The disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect were directly exposed to the force of the four Supreme Sects, each one blown away, with mountains and palaces collapsing, the earth cracking open, and rivers flowing backward.
Many Spirit Beasts turned into a rain of blood.
Hu Nan, Long Hao, and the others were also blown away.
However, just as Hu Nan was blown away, suddenly, Liu Ping struck a palm at Hu Nan’s back, sending him flying again.
And Deng Hongqing also made a move, catapulting Long Hao away with a palm strike.
The unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard.
“You!” Hu Nan glared at Liu Ping and, opening his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood.
Liu Ping and Deng Hongqing then approached Wu Peng, bowing respectfully and saying, “Ancestor!”
Wu Peng nodded.
“You are from the Sky-Stepping Sect!” Long Hao glared at Liu Ping and Deng Hongqing.
“Correct. Before joining the True Dragon Divine Sect, we were from the Sky-Stepping Sect!” Liu Ping said calmly. Now that the True Dragon Divine Sect would be destroyed, there was no harm in admitting it.
“You treacherous wench!” Hu Nan bellowed.
However, Liu Ping just sneered and said, “Hu Nan, rest assured, soon I will personally see you off. As for your daughter, I will take good care of her!”
Hu Yue’s face turned deathly pale, and many disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect were left dumbfounded.
Even Xiao Xiong from the Ancient Divine Palace and others were greatly surprised, having not expected Liu Ping and Deng Hongqing to be from the Sky-Stepping Sect.
Just as Wu Peng was about to make another move and happily slaughter the disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect, suddenly, many people looked towards the distance with shocked expressions. Wu Peng sensed the unusual looks of the crowd and couldn’t help but follow their gazes.
They saw a young boy in a light blue brocade robe approaching through the sky, stepping on flames that appeared like a piece of land beneath his feet, with nine golden phoenixes swirling around him.
The flames and waves of earth surged, and the nine golden phoenixes blazed towards the sky, exceptionally dazzling in the sunlight.
Seeing the stunning face of the young boy, everyone was mesmerized.
“Yang Xiaotian!”
“Divine Yang!”
Nobody had expected Yang Xiaotian to appear at this time.
When Li Zhengqing saw that it was Yang Xiaotian, he exclaimed with surprise and urgency, “My precious child, run for your life!”
Many of the Sect masters who had just been buffeted by the shockwave and felt like vomiting but couldn’t, suddenly could no longer hold it in and vomited blood with a “wa!”
Li Hong was also dumbstruck.
He had not expected that Li Zhengqing’s cry of “My precious baby” would be so powerful, capable of making so many sect experts vomit blood instantly.
Li Zhengqing’s voice reached Yang Xiaotian’s ears, even causing the Earth Flame beneath Xiaotian’s feet to tremble.
Luckily, Xiaotian’s resolve was firm, otherwise, he might have fallen down.
Under everyone’s gaze, Xiaotian stepped on the Earth Flame and returned to the True Dragon Divine Sect.
Seeing his parents, sister, and the injured disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect, Xiaotian’s expression darkened as he glared at Wu Peng, Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and others, “You all deserve to die!”
Hearing this, Wu Peng laughed heartily, “Pity, Xiaotian, today it is you who will die!”
“And today, it will be the True Dragon Divine Sect that is annihilated!”
Li Zhengqing, however, glared at Yang Xiaotian, “I told you to run, didn’t you hear me?”
Xiaotian knew that Li Zhengqing was worried about him and smiled, “Lord Li, don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
Hearing this, Li Zhengqing was so angry that his beard trembled.
“Brother!” At this moment, Yang Ling’er came forward with tears in her eyes.
“With brother here, everything will be fine,” Xiaotian reassured.
“Everything will be fine?” Deng Hongqing sneered, “Xiaotian, you speak as though you can protect your sister; those who don’t know better might think you’re the number one expert in the Divine Dragon Empire.”
At that point, You Yi stepped forward and said to Deng Hongqing, “Ancestor, I wish to personally execute Xiaotian and bring his head to the Sky-Stepping Sect.”
Long Hao’s expression soured, and his eyes blazed, “You traitor, how dare you!”
Following that, another dozen Inner Sect Disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect came forward, expressing their willingness to execute Xiaotian and deliver his head to the Sky-Stepping Sect.
These Inner Sect Disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect had extraordinary talents, all at the pinnacle of Martial Ancestor, with many being the direct disciples of various Great Elders.
The faces of these Great Elders were unsightly.
Deng Hongqing looked at Wu Peng.
Wu Peng, looking at You Yi and the defecting disciples, laughed, “Good, I approve.” Then he said to Yang Xiaotian, “Yang Xiaotian, if you can defeat these dozen or so disciples of your True Dragon Divine Sect, I’ll let your family go.”
“Not interested,” Xiaotian responded indifferently.
Upon hearing this, You Yi, holding a longsword, sneered, “Not interested? Yang Xiaotian, I think you’re just scared!” Saying this, he activated the power of his six Strongest Sword Hearts, preparing to attack Xiaotian.
Just then, suddenly, from a distance, demonic Qi surged tumultuously, a terrifying demonic presence blanketing the sky and land.
Everyone was startled and turned to look.
Upon seeing the newcomers, everyone’s expression changed.
“Phantom Sea Demon Sect!”
“Barefoot Elder Demon!”
“What is the Phantom Sea Demon Sect doing here, what do they want? The True Dragon Divine Sect is about to fall, do they want a piece of the action too?”
No wonder the experts from various sects thought so; after all, the authorities of the Phantom Sea Demon Sect were always profit-driven.
Li Hong’s brows furrowed, “I didn’t expect the Phantom Sea Demon Sect and even the Barefoot Elder Demon to come; it seems this time the True Dragon Divine Sect is beyond salvation!”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Barefoot Elder Demon led a hundred thousand experts of the Phantom Sea Demon Sect to the scene.
The Barefoot Elder Demon walked towards Yang Xiaotian.
As the Barefoot Elder Demon advanced, Hu Nan and Long Hao both grew sweaty palms, after all, the demonic reputation of the Barefoot Elder Demon was too great, being acclaimed as the number one person beneath the Divine Spirits of the demon sects.
Moreover, his methods were extremely cruel, with countless members of the Human Race having perished at his hands.
Just as Li Zhengqing was about to make a move, suddenly, the Barefoot Elder Demon knelt on one knee, his face filled with panic as he addressed Yang Xiaotian, “Young Master, Qingsong has arrived late! Please forgive me, Young Master!”
Qingsong has arrived late! Please forgive me, Young Master!
Everyone watching the Barefoot Elder Demon kneeling on one knee, his face full of panic, had their minds come to a halt.
