"Scar-face Kui! I advise you to be smart! The Chixiao Monarch is dead, the Chixiao Sect has long since disbanded, the era of Chixiao is long gone! The Present-Ancient Era is the glorious age ruled by the Immortal Dynasty! I don't want to bear the title of Immortal Dao sinner for the rest of my life!"
Though forced back repeatedly, Gold Crane, protected by his Bloodsha Aura, had not suffered any serious injuries. He spoke viciously, "A wise man submits to circumstances. Surrendering to the Immortal Dynasty is the righteous path! If you regret now, it's still not too late! I can put in a good word for you before the various Immortal Officials!"
"Beast! To! Be! A! Man! You! Must! Have! Backbone!"
In his great fury, Scar-face Kui let out a domineering and majestic roar that exploded forth. The wrath of the dragon, supremely overbearing, shot straight into the heavens, shaking the white clouds in the sky until they scattered. The wrath of the elephant, supremely majestic, subdued the earth, shaking the ground violently. The wrath of the dragon-elephant, piercing through heaven and earth, struck fear into hearts and souls, making them tremble!
Roar—! A colossal entity burst forth from within him, coiling around his body as it spiraled upwards. This behemoth, nine meters in size, resembled both a grey dragon and a furious elephant. As it coiled within the Bloodsha Aura, it swung its dragon-elephant head, emitting waves of dragon-elephant wrath, as if contending with the firmament itself. Its savage killing intent, domineering aura, and violent power were all enough to make onlookers shrink back in fear, their hearts trembling with dread!
Chixiao Dragon-Elephant!
"Today, I'll slaughter you, this ungrateful wretch!"
At the same time!
Gold Crane's Dragon-Elephant Spirit also instantly condensed and manifested. Two Chixiao Dragon-Elephant Spirits roared angrily in mid-air, swinging their heads. "You have Bloodsha Aura, so do I! You have a Dragon-Elephant Spirit, so do I! What gives you the right to kill me!"
"Is the word 'righteousness' enough! Or! Is! It! Not!"
Scar-face Kui brandished his yanyue blade as if merging with the Chixiao Dragon-Elephant Spirit. Waves of dragon-elephant wrath continuously emanated. With a single slash, the natural void before him cracked open.
Knowing Scar-face Kui's formidable strength, Gold Crane dared not be the slightest bit negligent. He operated his Bloodsha Aura and Dragon-Elephant Spirit at full power for defense. Yet, he was still struck by Scar-face Kui's blade until blood spurted from his mouth and nose, and his body plummeted uncontrollably.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Six bursts of dragon-elephant wrath exploded. The other six Chixiao People from the Gold Feather Branch also took action, all protected by Bloodsha Aura, their Dragon-Elephant Spirits roaring.
Although the Bloodsha Aura of these seven was also like burning blood, equally majestic and equally menacing with killing intent, Scar-face Kui's Bloodsha was more majestic, even more menacing!
Although their Dragon-Elephant Spirits also possessed savage killing intent, a domineering aura, and violent power, Scar-face Kui's Dragon-Elephant Spirit had even more savage killing intent, an even more domineering aura, and even more ferocious power.
It must be said that Scar-face Kui truly lived up to being one of the Eight Mad Ghosts of the Black Underworld Banner. Once he started fighting, his eyes turned crimson, killing intent billowed, the dragon-elephant roared, and he swung his yanyue blade, slaughtering in all directions. Even with Gold Crane and the other six joining forces, they were all forced back repeatedly by him.
In the distance.
The Hundred Tribulations Old Man and the Nine Stars Immortal Officials were all watching the battle intently. The Immortal Court nobles standing within the Immortal Estate Radiance watched the Chixiao People slaughtering each other, their expressions growing increasingly contemptuous.
"The Bloodsha Path of Immortal Slaughter? The Dragon-Elephant Shaking the Firmament? Heh... truly laughable."
"I heard the Bloodsha Aura and Dragon-Elephant Spirit were supposed to be remarkable. Seeing them today, they're nothing more than this."
"Exactly. Before our Great Sun Bright Dharma Form, the so-called Bloodsha Aura and Dragon-Elephant Spirit would probably turn to dust in an instant."
Beside them.
Lord Xun was also watching the Chixiao People slaughtering each other. Hearing the arrogant, ignorant mockery of these Immortal Court nobles, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. During the Ancient Era, he had once crossed blades with Chixiao People and clearly knew that the Bloodsha Aura and Dragon-Elephant Spirit of Chixiao People complemented each other. Bathed in blood and killing intent, the Dragon-Elephant Spirit would become even more savage, and the Chixiao People would become even more frenzied.
This was Chixiao People fighting each other. If it were anyone else, they would likely have long become souls under that yanyue great blade. The Immortal Court's Great Sun Bright Dharma Form might be powerful, but one must remember that the Dragon-Elephant Spirit of Chixiao People feared no aura or might.
"You traitors who surrendered to the Immortal Dynasty are utterly unworthy of being protected by Bloodsha Aura, even more unworthy of possessing Dragon-Elephant Spirits! Prepare to die!"
Scar-face Kui roared to the heavens. The Bloodsha Aura around his body blazed like flames. The Dragon-Elephant Spirit became even more savage. He seemed like one reborn through blood, roaring, "You refuse to be Chixiao People, insisting on being dogs of the Immortal Dynasty! Since that's the case, today I, on behalf of the Monarch, will slaughter you beasts who betray your ancestors and forget your roots!"
Bathed in blood and killing intent, he transformed.
The expressions of Gold Crane and the other six changed drastically. As they retreated, holy radiance flickered around their bodies. Nine stars bloomed around them like halos.
Nine Stars Immortal Protection!
"I've slain even Immortals back in the day! Do you think this petty Immortal Protection can save your lives?"
Scar-face Kui, transformed by bathing in blood and killing intent, erupted with terrifying power. The Dragon-Elephant Spirit transformed into a blood-sand dragon, emitting roars as it coiled around his body, spiraling upwards, swinging its dragon head, claws bared. A single dragon-elephant roar seemed to pierce heaven and earth, shaking the Nine Stars Immortal Protection around Gold Crane and the other six until it crackled and blurred. Gold Crane and the six others immediately spat blood from their mouths and noses, sent flying sideways.
Perhaps seeing the Nine Stars Immortal Protection of Gold Crane and the six others blurred by a single roar from Scar-face Kui's Dragon-Elephant Spirit made the dignity of the Immortal Court somewhat lose face. Liuguang Jiaoying suddenly waved his hand, arrogantly shouting, "You fool who doesn't know life from death! Destroy him for this noble!"
"No!"
Lord Xun immediately stepped forward to stop it. Chixiao People slaughtering each other was none of his concern. But if these Immortal Officials of the Immortal Court were to take action against a Chixiao Person, the consequences would be unimaginable. He waved his hand grandly, shouting, "Without my order, no Immortal Official is to make a move!"
"You old fool! This noble holds Young Master Long's decree! What are you? Get out of my way!"
Liuguang Jiaoying pointed angrily at Lord Xun, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Jiaoying, stop! Do not be disrespectful to Lord Xun."
A calm voice came. Liuguang Jiaoying's expression froze. He looked up to see a group of over ten people flying towards them. At their head was a man in white robes, elegant and handsome, holding a white jade fan, resembling a graceful noble son.
Seeing this man, the expressions of the Immortal Officials present all changed slightly. They all recognized him. He was Immortal Noble Qinghong, also a member of the Liuguang family, and moreover, Liuguang Jiaoying's cousin. Not only that, Immortal Noble Qinghong was also one of the chief supervisors of this Northwest expedition, and simultaneously a capable general by Young Master Long's side. His status and position were not something other Immortal Nobles could compare to.
"Brother Qinghong!"
Upon seeing Liuguang Qinghong, Liuguang Jiaoying's face lit up with joy. He immediately rushed over, about to angrily denounce Lord Xun for obstructing him in every way. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Liuguang Qinghong smiled and said, "Lord Xun is the supervisor. You should listen to him."
As if not expecting Liuguang Qinghong to say this, Liuguang Jiaoying was momentarily stunned. He was about to speak, but Liuguang Qinghong raised a hand to stop him. Standing in mid-air, he looked at the fierce and menacing Scar-face Kui. At that moment, another shout came from the sky.
"Scar-face, that's enough!"
