Chapter 621: Conflict
"You…"
Yang Guang could not contain his rage as a violent aura surged like tidal waves to the sky.
"Dare!"
He bellowed loudly, expelling a brilliant divine radiance from his mouth, forcefully descending upon his adversary.
He actually made a move within the Spirit Dragon Holy Land.
"Truly courting death, does your Xuanhuang Sect wish to wage a great war against my Heavenly Sword Gate?" Zhou Duo drew a sword with his two fingers, and a sword Qi surged from his fingertips, instantly shattering the divine skill of his opponent.
Zhou Duo spoke coldly.
Originally, this disciple of his was his most treasured, but having been killed by Zhou Duo's grandson, he sought justice. However, he did not expect Zhou Duo to be so unreasonable and tyrannical.
This only kindled his fury further.
"Good, good, good! Today, this old man must avenge my disciple!" Elder Yang Guang said coldly, repeating the word 'good' three times.
Yang Guang, in the surge of his anger, was enveloped by a torrential aura and surrounded by the qi of Xuanhuang.
His entire being soared to the heavens, with band-shaped Dao law runes circling around him, in splendid light, looking down from on high as he condensed a palm imprint in his hand, bearing down upon Zhou Duo.
"Insect tricks, daring to show off in front of this old man." Zhou Duo puffed his whiskers and widened his eyes, mana condensing into a spirit sword in his hand, sword Qi crisscrossing, sweeping across the sky.
The two Supreme Saints actually began to battle right there in the void.
Both were Supreme Saint experts, their every action possessed the power to move mountains and seas, to destroy cliffs and crags. Their battle was terrifying.
For a moment, dao magic filled the land, thunder and lightning flashed, and torrential rain poured down as if it were the end of the world.
Many cultivators, enveloped by the auras of the two Supreme Saints, trembled uncontrollably.
Although Yang Guang was a notable figure from Xuanhuang Sect, the eight branches shared the same origin. Now, with a disciple stealthily attacked by someone from Heavenly Sword Gate,
The other seven branch elders were equally outraged and secretly supported Yang Guang.
The remaining elders of the Heavenly Sword Gate, despite knowing Zhou Duo was at fault, would not shame their own people.
Therefore, although there were many Supreme Saint elders present, none of the strong figures stepped forward to mediate for a while.
"Elder He, this is the territory of your Spirit Dragon Holy Land. Are you really going to let these two engage here?"
Elder Fu Hu, with a compassionate heart, couldn't help but speak out loudly.
He was questioning He Qianshan, but at the same time, he was reminding elders Yang Guang and Zhou Duo to be calm.
Because.
Elder Fu Hu had a vague feeling in his heart that something else was planned for this journey to Mount Sumeru by the Spirit Dragon Holy Land.
He wanted to remind the elders of both Heavenly Sword Gate and Xuanhuang Sect to calm down.
But at that moment, how could the two elders listen, both unleashing their divine skills in the void.
He Qianshan would rather have everyone fight; he now said indifferently, "This matter is a personal grievance between the two dao brothers, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to interfere."
His implication was clear: Spirit Dragon Holy Land would not intervene in the skirmish among the strong figures here.
At that moment, all cultivators and Supreme Saint Experts looked at each other with caution.
"This journey to Mount Sumeru seems fraught not only with intense competition among the inner disciples but also with turmoil outside."
Everyone thought to themselves.
With the conflict between the two Supreme Saints, the place descended into chaos.
No one noticed that the True Spirit that had drifted out earlier had not directly entered the Reincarnation Land but had instead floated towards the direction of the Sun Character Level sacred mountain.
And it was in the Sun Character mountain range that the residence of Yang Guang's disciple could be found.
As the two Supreme Saints confronted each other in the void.
The scene within the light screen once again changed, drawing the attention of everyone.
"Look quickly, Zhou Duo is facing off against another disciple."
Zhou Duo had not been in Mount Sumeru for long before he used a stratagem to ambush and kill a disciple of an elder from the Xuanhuang Sect, naturally drawing the attention of many cultivators.
"Ah, isn't that the little fellow, the Thirteenth Prince from the Heavenly Sword Gate who resides in the last few spots of the 'chen' character?"
Some cultivators recognized that the child Zhou Duo was blocking was none other than Ye Shiyi.
"The Thirteenth Prince is done for—the two had already become enemies before entering Mount Sumeru. Zhou Duo, with his ruthless and merciless nature, will certainly not let him go!"
Some cultivators had ascended the mountain alongside Qinchuan and were very clear about the enmity between Zhou Duo and Ye Shiyi.
"It's his bad luck to have encountered each other so quickly."
Many cultivators discussed animatedly.
Seeing Zhou Duo clashing with another person caused the scene to regain some order for a moment; even Zhou Tian and Yang Guang temporarily stopped fighting to look towards the huge central light screen.
Looking through the light screen, Zhou Duo's standoff with the Thirteenth Prince had ended. Zhou Duo summoned True Qi in his palm and took the initiative to attack the frail Thirteenth Prince.
"This guy, to think he'd be so vicious, even towards his fellow sect members—his strikes are lethal."
The gathered cultivators were shaken.
Zhou Duo had already reached the Fifth Layer of Meridian Opening, while the Thirteenth Prince had just arrived at the First Layer.
There was an insurmountable chasm between the two.
The Thirteenth Prince was certainly doomed.
When Zhou Duo made his move, thirty-six golden Spirit Swords flew out in front of him.
Forty-Nine Gold Sword Formation!
This was a Heaven Rank mysterious technique of the Golden Branch lineage of the Heavenly Sword Gate.
The thirty-six golden giant swords transformed incessantly, striking down like heavenly tribulations, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring, aiming for the top of Ye Shiyi's head.
Ye Shiyi held his breath and concentrated, his eyes red.
The True Qi around his body also circulated wildly.
He had not expected to encounter Zhou Duo within an hour of entering Mount Sumeru.
The thirty-six golden Spirit Swords covered the sky and he immediately felt his hair stand on end.
A sensation of extreme danger surged in his heart, an aura powerful enough to suppress him.
"Ah—"
At the critical moment, Ye Shiyi did not shrink back; he roared loudly.
Like a wild bull, he erupted with a powerful Qi from his body, his hair standing on end and fists swinging out towards the Spirit Swords.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
It was a massive collision; the two young men erupted with a devastating divine radiance. In this eye-dazzling brightness, endless explosions sounded.
It was the clash of True Qi, and equally a comparison of physical bodies. The shockwaves emitted blew sand and rolled stones, flattening grass and brush.
"The Thirteenth Prince actually blocked the attack?"
All cultivators outside the fight were taken aback.
In everyone's mind, the outcome of the battle between the two had long been decided, and there was not the slightest chance of an upset. Zhou Duo was expected to suppress his opponent with Thunderous Force.
But to everyone's clear sight, the Thirteenth Prince had actually shattered several of the opponent's Spirit Swords with his bare fists.
"The Thirteenth Prince was not defeated!" exclaimed everyone.
"Worthy of being a member of the main sect of the Heavenly Sword Gate, he can still stand against a cultivator of the Fifth Layer of Meridian Opening!"
Some cultivators sighed.
"However, unfortunately, the gap between the First Layer and the Fifth Layer of Meridian Opening is still too large. This time Zhou Duo was complacent, but next time the Thirteenth Prince won't be so lucky."
Inside the arena, that was what all the cultivators thought, as they did not believe the Thirteenth Prince could defeat Zhou Duo.
