Chapter 436 - 437: Crisis at the Gates
ROAR!
A dragon’s roar shook the heavens and the earth!
The Golden Flood Dragon danced across the Firmament, its Battle Intent sweeping through the ten directions!
BOOM!
The Flood Dragon swayed, sweeping across the world with unrivaled, savage might!
Its terrifying, colossal tail, wreathed in a golden storm, whipped through the void, lashing out and driving back the collapsing space.
’A Flood Dragon!’
The Big Master’s gaze darkened, his eyes glinting with murderous intent!
He swiped a claw through the void, like the hand of heaven itself, reaching for the Golden Flood Dragon. The Power of Rebirth, carrying with it endless True Essence, enveloped the beast.
"I once watched the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon sweep across the world with a single stride of its seven steps. Today, I, Ye Wushuang, shall fight in the body of a Flood Dragon!"
Ye Wushuang roared at the sky, the Dragon Blood in his veins boiling as if he were ready to challenge the heavens themselves!
BOOM!
His golden battle form swept forward. He took a single step, and the void trembled.
Seven Steps of the Reversed Dragon. Reverse the dragon, reverse the world. Bound by heaven and earth, annihilated in seven steps!
BOOM!
He took the second step, and the rippling Reversed Dragon Power brought the giant, grasping claw to an abrupt halt!
ROAR!
The dragon’s cry was a piercing shriek as he took the third and fourth steps in quick succession. The void shuddered violently!
The hearts of the crowd began to pound in time with the rhythm!
They stared up at the sky where the Golden Flood Dragon strode forward, seemingly about to suppress this entire corner of the world.
BOOM!
Beneath its feet, space shattered like a mirror.
The Flood Dragon’s claws stepped into the chaotic void, stamping out everything in their path. No matter how terrifying the Power of Rebirth was, it could not resist.
The Big Master’s pupils contracted. His heart was also trembling!
He realized that despite being in the Yin Yang Realm, he was actually afraid!
"Die for me! Die!"
The Big Master roared, frantically unleashing a series of terrifying Palm Seals, each one filled with endless Slaughter!
The Power of Rebirth also surged out madly, trying to drain away Ye Wushuang’s Life Force!
BOOM!
Four steps were taken, and now, the fifth was suddenly raised.
This was a breakthrough step. Before, his strength had been insufficient, allowing him only four steps. But now, using the Flood Dragon’s body, he could finally unleash the fifth step of the Seven Steps of the Reversed Dragon!
"Perish!"
The Golden Flood Dragon spoke in a human voice. It stomped a claw forward, looming over the Big Master’s head.
CRASH!
In an instant, the space it had stomped through collapsed.
Along with it, the terrifying Palm Seals disintegrated and fell apart!
A wave of World-Suppressing Power descended upon the Big Master, shaking his body until it cracked apart and sent blood flying everywhere!
"AHHH!"
The Big Master’s face filled with terror as he let out a blood-curdling scream!
"Now, who’s the ant?!"
The Flood Dragon roared, stomping through the air as it interrogated him.
"The Rebirth First Layer of Yin Yang Realm was enough to make you so arrogant? How ignorant! How laughable!"
As soon as the words fell, the Flood Dragon’s tail swept across the world and slammed into the Big Master’s body.
BANG!
Blood sprayed wildly from the Big Master’s body as he was sent flying across the Nine Heavens!
"Ye Wushuang, you just wait! I will definitely get my revenge for today!"
The Big Master righted himself and shot into the distance.
"Revenge? You won’t get the chance. Today, I’ll strip you of your life!"
Ye Wushuang spat the words out coldly, pursuing him with the Seven Steps of the Reversed Dragon.
"Perish!"
A claw stomped down, covering the sky and suppressing all in its path.
ROAR!
Opening its mouth, the Golden Flood Dragon instantly swallowed the Big Master whole!
"It’s over! The Big Master was swallowed!"
"Run! Ye Wushuang killed the Big Master!"
Watching the Golden Flood Dragon swallow the Big Master in one gulp, the bandits were terrified and fled for their lives!
The Nanyang Guard were stunned for a long moment before they finally reacted.
"Kill them! Leave no one alive!"
With an expert like Tan Zhengqing at the Peak of Spiritual Spring Ninth Level leading the charge, the Nanyang Guard, who had been at a disadvantage, instantly turned the tables!
And just like that, the Slaughter began!
In the void, the Golden Flood Dragon transformed back into Ye Wushuang.
PFFT! He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and sent his Divine Sense into his Dantian.
Inside the terrifying Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron, the Big Master was struggling frantically, trying to break free. Powerful waves of energy bombarded Ye Wushuang’s body from within.
Ye Wushuang knew that, in terms of pure strength, he couldn’t have killed the Big Master.
Even though the man had only just reached the Rebirth First Layer of Yin Yang Realm, Ye Wushuang still couldn’t kill him directly.
That was why Ye Wushuang had risked devouring him!
His Divine Sense entered his Dantian. Ye Wushuang immediately activated the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique, and the Golden Flame within the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron burned even more intensely!
"Damn you, ant! What is this? What is this?! AHHH!"
The terrifying Devouring Power frantically consumed the Big Master, and the eternal, inextinguishable flames quickly engulfed him.
Streams of powerful energy gushed out, only to be devoured by the golden Xingyun!
Within the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron, the Big Master was incinerated in a matter of moments. The terrifying True Essence he released directly raised Ye Wushuang’s Cultivation to the Spiritual Spring Seventh Layer!
’Spiritual Spring Seventh Layer!’
Ye Wushuang’s eyes flew open, and Divine Light burst from them!
’I can’t believe the harvest was so great this time. I devoured a Yin Yang Realm expert and broke through an entire layer, just like that. Awesome!’
BOOM!
Retracting his gaze, Ye Wushuang descended from the Firmament.
By now, the bandits had been nearly wiped out. Many had also surrendered and were surrounded by the Nanyang Guard!
Looking at the blood-soaked Cyan Armored Warriors crawling on the ground, Ye Wushuang felt a pang of guilt. He knew Di Xuan’s betrayal wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface!
’This was mostly aimed at me, but these Nanyang Guard soldiers got dragged into it!’
’Di Family... Di Xuan... You deserve to die!’
A cold glint flashed in Ye Wushuang’s eyes. He turned to the Nanyang Guard and ordered coolly, "Cleanse Black Wind Valley with blood. Leave no one alive. Kill them all. As for Di Xuan... I will find him!"
At his command, the eyes of the Nanyang Guard turned crimson, blazing with the light of hatred!
All the bandits were cut down. Not a single one was left alive!
Afterward, rivers of blood flowed through Black Wind Valley, and the stench of Blood Qi filled the air. The bandits were all slaughtered, with none left standing!
「By dusk the next day, the sound of whinnying warhorses once again rang out from outside Nanyang City!」
Instantly, the guards on the walls of Nanyang City grew vigilant.
They looked down from the city walls, and a sea of crimson met their eyes. Red Blood Warhorses, blood-stained figures, and a murderous aura that soared to the heavens!
Their blood-red eyes were like those of beasts, filled with cold indifference and hatred!
"Open the city gates!"
The cold shout shook the heavens and the earth, making all the guards on the wall tremble!
"At sunset, Nanyang City’s gates are closed! No one is to open them!"
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out from the top of the wall!
A young man in black armor stood on the wall, staring down at the people below!
"Bastard! We are the Nanyang Guard’s North Camp, returning from exterminating bandits! Open the gates immediately!"
Seeing that someone was refusing to open the gates, Tan Zhengqing roared in anger.
"The Nanyang Guard is back! Hurry and open the gates!"
Hearing this, a few guards immediately ran to do so.
"Halt!"
But before they could take more than a few steps, the black-armored youth berated them. "This group of people is of unknown identity, trying to impersonate the Nanyang Guard to enter the city! Do not open the gates!"
’Damn it!’
Hearing the black-armored youth’s words, the Nanyang Guard clenched their fists. They had bled in Black Wind Valley to protect Nanyang City.
And now that they had returned, they couldn’t even enter their own home!
"I am Tan Zhengqing, Captain of the Nanyang Guard’s North Camp! I order you to open the gates immediately!"
Tan Zhengqing suppressed his rage and shouted again!
’Hmph. Tan Zhengqing, Ye Wushuang... you want to enter Nanyang City alive? In your dreams!’
The black-armored youth’s eyes flashed with a strange light, and a venomous look appeared on his face. How could he not know that the people below were the Nanyang Guard?
But so what?!
Di Xuan had already returned to the city and announced that the entire Nanyang Guard had been wiped out!
’Since they were wiped out, that means they’re all dead men!’
’How could he let a bunch of dead men appear alive in Nanyang City? Therefore, the only option was to kill them again, right here and now!’
With a sinister smile, a murderous glint flashed in the black-armored youth’s eyes. He shouted, "Brothers on the wall! Captain Tan died in battle in Black Wind Valley a day ago! The people before you are nothing but impostors! I suspect they are bandits from Black Wind Valley, disguised to infiltrate the city! Execute them immediately! Leave none alive!"
"You bastard, you’re courting death!"
Hearing this, Cao Hong let out a furious roar, unable to contain his killing intent!
"What a bunch of bandits! You dare threaten to kill me? Your intentions are truly vicious! All archers, prepare! Shoot these bandits down! Leave none alive!"
The black-armored youth’s expression grew even colder.
"General Di, could there be a mistake?" a guard asked weakly, looking down at the group of figures who looked like Fierce Beasts.
"If there are any consequences, my Di Family will bear them! All you need to remember is to kill everyone below! Leave none alive! Remember, no survivors!"
The black-armored youth gave a vicious shout.
