Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

"Such a sharp tongue. Daring to make excuses after injuring someone!"

A murderous glint flashed in Di Qiong’s eyes as he stepped forward, unable to hold back any longer.

Seeing Di Qiong’s murderous intent flare, Tan Zhengqing grew furious and stepped forward to block him. "Patriarch Di, it was Fourth Young Master Di who sneak-attacked him first! You..."

"Get out of my way!"

Di Qiong snorted coldly. A powerful surge of energy blasted Tan Zhengqing away, making him spit out a mouthful of blood!

Ye Wushuang’s gaze hardened. ’I never expected Di Qiong to be so determined to kill me, without any justification whatsoever.’

’It seems the events at Black Wind Valley are connected to this Patriarch after all. Otherwise, why would Patriarch Di show up the moment we stepped onto the training grounds?’

’This entire series of events has been targeting me. The Di Family and Di Qiong want me, Ye Wushuang, dead!’

At this thought, Ye Wushuang’s heart grew even colder.

"If you dare take another step forward, I’ll stomp his head into a pulp!" Ye Wushuang said coldly, staring at the charging Di Qiong as he pressed his foot down on Fourth Young Master Di’s face.

MMPH! MMPH! MMPH!

Fourth Young Master Di struggled relentlessly. All his previous arrogance and dominance were gone, replaced by nothing but boundless humiliation in his heart.

As the Fourth Young Master of the Di Family and a genius of the Seven Kills Family, he was respected and worshiped in Nanyang City. Yet now, he was being pinned under someone’s foot. ’I hate this!’

"If you dare kill him, I will kill you!" Di Qiong’s voice was filled with cold indifference. He raised a hand, a terrifying power gathering in his palm.

Ye Wushuang, of course, recognized this power. ’It’s the Power of Rebirth!’

Moreover, the power in Di Qiong’s palm was countless times stronger than that of the Big Master from Black Wind Valley.

’Judging by its strength, Di Qiong must be at the Yin Yang Realm, Rebirth Level Third Layer!’

’Di Qiong is attacking without any regard for Fourth Young Master Di’s life. He’s clearly abandoned him, intending to trade his life for mine!’

’What a ruthless Patriarch!’

A chill ran through Ye Wushuang’s heart; he had underestimated Di Qiong’s resolve to kill him.

"Die!"

Di Qiong gave a sinister smile as the Power of Rebirth surged toward Ye Wushuang. Just as Ye Wushuang had guessed, he had abandoned Fourth Young Master Di.

It wasn’t that Di Qiong was heartless, but rather that he was far too wary of Ye Wushuang.

He knew the strength of Black Wind Valley’s Big Master, who had already broken through to the Yin Yang Realm. That was why he had taken the risk of having the Big Master assassinate Ye Wushuang for him, and why he had Di Xuan lead Ye Wushuang into a trap.

He had originally thought this scheme would be enough to leave Ye Wushuang with no place to be buried, but he was only now discovering that he had just been dreaming.

Not only was Ye Wushuang alive, but what shocked him even more was that there wasn’t the slightest sign of injury on him!

Ye Wushuang was terrifying—so terrifying that it made him shudder!

He knew all too well of Ye Wushuang’s talent and ruthlessness. He was certain that once Ye Wushuang matured and gained sufficient strength, he would never let the Seven Kills Family off the hook.

Therefore, he had to kill him now, even if it meant sacrificing one of his family’s own geniuses!

BOOM!

With these thoughts, the power radiating from Di Qiong intensified!

"Patriarch Di, it’s best to let the Nanyang Guard handle its own affairs."

At the same time, a resonant voice echoed across the sky above the training grounds.

As the voice faded, a spatial rift abruptly opened above Ye Wushuang, and a straight-backed, middle-aged figure strode out.

BOOM!

A True Essence Hand shot out, pressing down on Di Qiong’s attack as an indomitable Power of Destruction spread outward.

BOOM!

The Power of Rebirth was instantly suppressed, and the Power of Destruction surged toward Di Qiong.

Di Qiong’s body shot backward, and he landed on the ground again.

His expression changed as he stared at the newcomer. ’To be able to traverse space and control Yang Destruction Power, he must be at the Yin Yang Realm’s Yang Destruction Level!’

"Lord Marshal!"

Upon seeing the man, Tan Zhengqing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and hurriedly clasped his hands in a salute.

The man before them was none other than the Marshal of the Nanyang Guard, Menn Qi!

THUMP, THUMP!

All the other Nanyang Guards surrounded them, their eyes fixed on the group of blood-soaked Red Blood Warriors.

They all recognized them as the eight hundred-plus soldiers who had gone to Black Wind Valley to suppress the bandits!

However, they quickly discovered that only a little over a hundred had returned.

"Marshal Menn Qi!"

Di Qiong steadied himself and bowed with clasped fists to Menn Qi, but inwardly he was stunned. Menn Qi’s strength had previously been the same as his own: Yin Yang Realm, Rebirth Level Third Layer.

But now, Menn Qi had broken through the Rebirth Level and reached the Yang Destruction stage.

Although both were in the Yin Yang Realm, the difference between them was now as vast as heaven and earth!

"Patriarch Di, you are not at the Di Family estate, but have come all the way to the Nanyang Guard. For what reason, I wonder?" Menn Qi glanced at Ye Wushuang before turning his gaze to Di Qiong.

"Marshal Menn Qi, I heard a moment ago that a member of my family was causing a disturbance here at the Nanyang Guard. I was worried it might trouble you, so I came over to take him back for severe punishment. I never imagined I would end up alarming you!"

Di Qiong smiled faintly, concealing the murderous intent on his face.

"Is that so?"

Menn Qi glanced at Fourth Young Master Di, who was pinned under Ye Wushuang’s foot.

"Since Patriarch Di himself has spoken, I must naturally grant you this favor."

Menn Qi turned his head to glance at Ye Wushuang.

THUD! Ye Wushuang gave a slight nod and kicked Fourth Young Master Di toward Di Qiong. Everyone could hear the muffled grunt of pain.

"You..."

Di Qiong was incensed, and a murderous glint flashed through his eyes.

Ye Wushuang sneered inwardly. ’If I didn’t need him to find the Nirvana Cave Mansion, Fourth Young Master Di wouldn’t still be alive!’

"Patriarch, save me!"

Meanwhile, Di Xuan, who was kneeling before the Nanyang Guard with several spears pointed at him, also cried out.

At this, Menn Qi turned to look at Di Xuan.

"Lord Marshal, Di Xuan cannot be released!"

Cao Hong and the others looked at Menn Qi with bloodshot eyes and said hoarsely, "Lord Marshal, Di Xuan colluded with bandits and led us into their encirclement! As a result, over eight hundred of our brothers were killed. If it weren’t for Deputy Captain Ye, we’re afraid we would have been buried in Black Wind Valley as well."

"Lord Marshal, if our brothers had died honorably in open battle, staining the field with their blood, we would have no one to blame. Their deaths would have been glorious!"

"But they died because they were schemed against by one of our own! They were betrayed, and their deaths were unjust! If we don’t kill this animal Di Xuan, then those seven hundred-plus brothers will have died in vain! We beg you, Lord Marshal, to give them justice!"

Cao Hong and the others spoke, enunciating every word, staring at Di Xuan as if they wanted to flay him alive.

"That damn animal! So he was the one behind it all!"

Hearing the account from Cao Hong and his men, the other Nanyang Guards grew enraged and swarmed around Di Xuan.

Hearing this, Menn Qi’s brow furrowed, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

He turned his head to stare at Di Qiong.

Di Qiong immediately said, "Marshal Menn Qi, I never expected that Di Xuan would commit such a despicable act, one that would anger both gods and men. He deserves death!"

Hearing Di Qiong’s words, Di Xuan cried out in terror, "Patriarch, you were the one who made me—"

"You disgrace to the family! Your death would be no loss!" Seeing that Di Xuan was about to speak, Di Qiong’s eyes turned vicious, and he suddenly charged toward him.

BOOM!

A palm slammed into Di Xuan’s body. Before he could finish his sentence, his body exploded into a mist of blood!
