Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 245: Unconvinced? A Fight to the Death
At that moment, Long Yunyue, who had been poised to strike, wore an expression as grim as if his own mother had just died.
His expression was rigid, his arrogance frozen in place. His whole body shuddered as he sucked in a sharp, cold breath.
’Is this the might of a Sacred Artifact? Or his own Battle Power? How can his aura be so steady after unleashing such a terrifying strike?’
At this point, if he still underestimated his opponent, his title of Saint Son would be nothing but an empty boast. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
A chill ran through Long Yunyue’s body and soul. In terms of strength, he was indeed much stronger than Carefree Dustless. He surpassed him in both Battle Power and Realm...
But Carefree Dustless’s end had been far too tragic.
His soul was slain with one strike, his body annihilated with another, turning him to ash!
That was too terrifying!
Long Yunyue’s neck felt stiff. He struggled to turn his head and glance at Long Fengyang, only to find that neither Long Fengyang nor Duan Jiutian seemed to find the scene the least bit surprising.
"I told you, he is an opportunity, a whetstone for you to sharpen yourselves against, and yet you looked down on him? This isn’t even his full power. At his peak, for the duration of several dozen breaths, he can raise his Battle Power to my level. He even possesses a Slaughter Sword Technique similar to the Hidden Dragon Shackles."
"Otherwise, why would I have sealed this place and gone to such great lengths to invite the Saint Masters of the Four Great Dragon Clans?"
As he spoke, Long Fengyang glanced at the Jade Pool Saint Master. "Yusu Fairy, what do you think? I wasn’t exaggerating, was I?"
Yao Yusu nodded slightly. "Indeed. It is truly worth it. Using his Life Chart to transcend fate and perfect Long Cangqian’s Taotie Divine Soul... The chaos in the Celestial Demon Blood Domain can finally be resolved. This is a grand matter concerning the salvation of all living beings. We have nothing more to say."
Duan Jiutian said, "I have considered this matter as well, using Ye Tianling as the key. But one with a Double Void Body cannot enter the Void Realm. This is a shackle imposed by the laws of heaven and earth. No matter what methods he uses to increase his Battle Power, the end result will inevitably be that power surging out of his control, turning him into a Puppet of the Celestial Demon Blood Domain."
"This person has already manifested a Demon Heart and Demonic Qi. He must be killed!"
Long Fengyang said lightly, "Killing him would be too much of a waste. Such a fine Tripod Cauldron... wouldn’t it be more delightful to ambush him repeatedly, leaving him half-dead each time while we seize his Qi Fortune? Using him like a pig for the slaughter to nurture Long Cangqian’s Taotie Divine Soul is the best course of action. So, in a moment, I expect all of you to attack with your full strength."
As Long Fengyang spoke, his gaze swept over the many Saint Masters present.
The Saint Masters immediately nodded.
However, among them, the Saint Master of the Land of the Ancestral Dao of Space-Time, Qitian Dao, ignored Long Fengyang’s gaze and did not nod in agreement.
At the same time, over with the delegation from the Returning Butterfly Sacred Land, just as Ouyang Qianyu was about to agree, Ouyang Tianqi, the Tianqi Saint Son, moved to stand directly in front of her, blocking Long Fengyang’s gaze.
A displeased look appeared on Long Fengyang’s face.
Ouyang Qianyu was even more furious. ’The only male Saint Son in the history of the Returning Butterfly Sacred Land... he’s already broken all precedent!’
’And now this Ouyang Tianqi is being so stubborn, contradicting me in public and causing me to lose face?’
’His actions are simply contemptible!’
"Tianqi, do you think your wings have hardened? Are you trying to rebel?"
Ouyang Qianyu’s expression darkened as she questioned him in a cold voice.
"First you defended that bitch, and now you’re defending that crippled native—"
Ouyang Ruoshuang sneered, her tone dripping with malice.
"What a traitor, siding with outsiders!" "You were born with rebellion in your bones!"
Ouyang Ruobing’s words were also filled with scorn.
"Saint Master, you know that I cultivate the Blood Sacrifice Heaven-defying Technique. My bloodline is heaven-defying, my Talent is heaven-defying, and my insight is heaven-defying as well!"
Ouyang Tianqi’s expression was calm, his voice gentle.
Ouyang Qianyu’s body trembled slightly. "So?" she asked.
"This place is about to become a river of blood. A great calamity is coming. We should not get involved in such murky business. Master, in all my years, I have never been wrong. Please, trust me this one time. This time, we should act wisely and stay out of it."
Ouyang Tianqi urged.
"A river of blood? A great calamity? Senior Brother Tianqi, you’re just fond of that bitch Ruoxue. If you want to protect her, why concoct such an elaborate story?"
Ouyang Ruobing sneered.
"If I hadn’t stepped forward, you would already be dead, do you understand?" Ouyang Tianqi’s voice turned icy. "Did you really think Ye Tianling couldn’t kill you? Look at what happened to Carefree Dustless! You’re courting death!"
Ouyang Qianyu was taken aback. With a complicated expression, she gave Ouyang Tianqi a long, deep look. "Is what you say really true?"
Ouyang Tianqi said no more. Instead, he turned to the shackled Ouyang Ruoyun and acted. Gathering his Energy, he broke the shackles binding her.
"Ruoyun, from now on, you must fight back when you need to. Otherwise, what happened to Sister Ruoxue will be your fate! They wanted to capture you and use you as a tool, and you just let them take you without a fight? You’re too foolish."
Tears welled in Ouyang Ruoyun’s eyes. "Master is good to me," she sobbed. "She would never harm me. Senior Brother, you’ve misunderstood her."
The Master Ouyang Ruoyun spoke of was the Saint Master, Ouyang Qianyu.
Ouyang Tianqi sighed, his expression tinged with melancholy.
’Of the four sisters, Ouyang Ruoxue was the most normal. Ouyang Ruoshuang and Ouyang Ruobing were the most materialistic, ruthless, and heartless. And as for Ouyang Ruoyun, she was simply naive and foolish.’
’And their personalities... they truly never changed.’
Ouyang Tianqi had wanted to help Ouyang Ruoyun, but seeing how naive and easily deceived she was, he could only shake his head to himself.
’He knew that the Cultivation paths for those three would not take them very far.’
’No wonder, despite their incredible Talent, they could never become the primary Saintess.’
Ouyang Ruoyun’s words did have a certain impact on Ouyang Qianyu.
She stared blankly at Ouyang Ruoyun, then at Ouyang Tianqi. Ultimately, she did not respond to Long Fengyang.
She had heeded Ouyang Tianqi’s words, deciding not to participate in this affair and abandoning any fantasies of currying favor with Long Cangqian.
Seeing this development firsthand, Long Cangqian’s face turned exceptionally grim.
"Ouyang Tianqi, do you realize you have just offended me?"
Long Cangqian spoke in a low voice, enunciating every single word.
His dominance and pride made him feel entitled to crush all other Saint Sons and Saintesses. He expected his Words and Laws to Follow, with no one daring to challenge him.
But clearly, many of the Saint Sons and Saintesses weren’t falling for his act.
Ouyang Tianqi was one of them, but he was far from the only one.
"So? I’ve offended you. What are you going to do about it? You got a problem with that? Fine. Let’s fight to the death!"
Ouyang Tianqi’s words were shocking.
Ouyang Ruoshuang and Ouyang Ruobing, who had been about to argue with Ouyang Tianqi, jumped in fright at his words. In that instant, both of them thought their senior brother had gone completely mad.
Sneers appeared on their faces as well.
"A battle to the death? You’ll get one," Long Cangqian snapped in a low, cold voice, "right after we take care of this jumping clown, Ye Tianling!"
"I’m just afraid that by then, you’ll no longer be in any condition to fight!"
Ouyang Tianqi shot back with a sneer, his sharp demeanor on full display.
As he showed his true colors, the other Saint Sons and Saintesses finally realized that his Battle Power was already strong enough to challenge the Nine Forbidden. He was only half a step away from the level of a Divine Child!
"This man... he’s kept such a low profile!"
"That’s just because you didn’t know! It’s not that he was being discreet!"
