766 No Other Choice (1/2)
”So you want matters to end just like that? Your Sect's Old Man Potian did because of my disciple...”
Fengyun felt his heart turn cold as he sighed. How could he demand anything at this point? Was he asking for death?
He didn't even think about it before replying seriously, ”There is life and death on the battlefield, one cannot blame others for it. My Daoling Sect has no grievances with Saint. Fengyun was reckless this time to offend your disciple...”
Dragon Shadow didn't speak, he turned his head and looked elsewhere.
Fengyun instantly stopped talking. He took a look at Huayun and the others, sighing before silently taking his leave.
Hongyi who was not far away had already silently retreated when Zhongguang received Dragon Shadow's sword. Without a sound, he was already at the entrance of a Spiritual River.
However, right as a look of good fortune appeared in his eyes and he tried to leave, he saw Dragon Shadow gaze over.
Following this, he felt that the area around him had frozen up. Time and Space Powers couldn't be used at all.
His body was locked down by an extremely terrifying Sword Intent such that he couldn't move at all.
He felt that if he moved a single finger his body would definitely end up in pieces.
”Brother Hongyi, are you prepared to leave just like that?”
Dragon Shadow laughed, his eyes filled with a teasing expression, ”I remembered that just now Brother Hongyi wanted to consume Aokun and my body? Don't you think it is too early for you to leave now?”
Hongyi gave an extremely ugly and awkward smile. Then, he abandoned all thoughts of escaping as he bowed.
”I was joking, Saint Dragon Shadow please don't take it seriously! Hongyi was wrong! Please show mercy and let me off this once. Hongyi was blind. If I knew that Saint was already in the End Realm, why would I dare to say those words?”
Dragon Shadow scoffed coldly, waving his sleeves and directly sending out Sword Energy.
Hongyi didn't dare move, allowing the Sword Energy to charge into his mouth.
His teeth were all smashed, even his tongue was sliced off.
”With how arrogant you are, I should have killed you! However, recently my disciple has been kept safe thanks to your help, so today I will just slightly punish you. If you do so again in the future, I will definitely take your head! Scram!”
Hongyi didn't even dare to reveal hatred and grievance on his face.
After hearing this, he turned into a blood shadow as he fled into the void, fleeing like a prisoner being pardoned.
Wen Xu looked with envy toward Hong Yi who was escaping.
It was not bad to have such a light ending when one offended an End Realm directly to his face.
He also wanted to leave, but at this moment he couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
Fortunately, the current Sect Leader of Lingyun Sect was careful and didn't join in. As such, there was room for reconciliation between Dragon Shadow and him.
With four of them gone, this part of the World River was instantly half empty.
Zhongguang was still standing. However, Huayun and Xuanwei treated it as if he had already died.
Seeing Dragon Shadow's look over, Huayun felt despair. Luckily, half a breath later a Vast Energy surged over and spread within the World River.
Huayun's nervous emotions relaxed and joy surged in his heart.
It was his Master, Qingxuan!
Numerous Source Spirits, an entire World River and the abundance of Spiritual Energy, they actually showed signs of not being enough.
Moments later, a person appeared in front of their eyes.
He wore a green robe and his eyes were filled with pain as he looked toward Zhongguang. Then, he looked toward Dragon Shadow and Aokun with a complicated expression.
”Cultivator Dragon Shadow, long time no see!”
Dragon Shadow focused his gaze on the Taoist, impassively greeting, ”Dragon Shadow has waited here for Senior Qingxuan for long!”
Aokun's eyes were ice-cold as he looked forward like he was going to remember how this Taoist looked into the depths of his heart.
”Since you have entered the End Realm and gained eternal life, then this seniority matter doesn't mean much to me. Between you and I, there is no difference and we can call each other as if we are from the same generation. There is no need to be so polite!”
The Taoist waved his sleeves and after putting his arms by his side, his gaze instantly became sharp and overbearing, ”There is not much connection between you and I. Your achievements came from hard work and you have no grievances with my Taoist Faction, but I remember that in the past, I had the three move agreement with you and I also let off this Evil Dragon! With what happened in the past, we should have some kindness, so why do you treat my disciple so heavily and claim his life?”
When Dragon Shadow heard this, his brow rose. He didn't wait for the other person to speak, his gaze filled with disdain.
”Senior Qingxuan are you bullying me? The three move contract in the past wasn't something you were willing to accept. If not for you saving strength to kill Xi Zi, Aokun and I would have already died on the spot!”
Seeing Qingxuan frown and not answer, Dragon Shadow's tone calmed down.
”I have followed that agreement closely and have never gone against it, so naturally we can't talk about me owing you anything. Even if I did owe you a favor, you ordered your disciples to plot and kill mine several times, so this favor should have ended long ago! Moreover, let me ask cultivator Qingxuan a question. How do you explain that Withering Sword? You should know what my personality is like...”
Qingxuan kept silent and didn't speak. After a long, while he patted Zhongguang's shoulder lightly.
His body instantly dissipated, turning into dust and scattering in this part of the World River.
Everyone could sense a true spirit fly out, under the protection of a weird force which headed swiftly toward the Daoling Vast Habitat.
