Divine Brilliance

Chapter 766: No Other Choice

“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.

Although Zhongguang had died, due to that Taoist, he left a portion of his memory and chance to reincarnate.

“Forget it! Let this matter end like this!”

His tone was flat, but anyone could infer the deep meaning hidden in those words.

Qingxuan once again looked toward Aokun as well as Longxuan and Huayun.

“Zong Shou is your disciple, so it is natural if you protect him! Then, how are you going to deal with these three people? Are you still going to interfere?”

His eyes flashed with a dangerous glow.

Dragon Shadow didn’t care at all and smiled, “I am close with Aokun and only have one good friend in this world. Naturally, I can’t sit around and do nothing!”

Qingxuan’s eyes instantly smiled, forming a straight line.

“Although you have reached the End Realm, it has only been half a year. You should know that this Realm is also split into 9 Grades. Today, you are simply too greedy...”

“Taoist is joking! Naturally, there is a difference in strength in the End Realm, how would I not know that!”

Dragon Shadow said this, but he had no intentions to back off at all. Instead, he took a step forward, his aura climbed and he looked increasingly domineering.

“Then, let me ask you. Have you recovered from your injuries in the battle with Xi Zi? Have the three Qing Protector Gods recovered? Do you have the confidence to fight with me? Can your two fellow Cultivators aid you? Are you willing to give up on that treasure of the Cloud World to lose the chance to enter the True Realm? 8,000 years ago, I only took three strikes from you. That is something I had always regretted...”

Qingxuan’s expression changed, causing the temperature of the World River to instantly become ice cold.

Wen Xu, Mingyu and the others around had totally different feelings.

They felt that Dragon Shadow’s current aura had changed to something that could be seen but couldn’t be felt.

They knew that this wasn’t a secret technique but the Dao that Dragon Shadow controlled had exceeded what they could understand.

Two extremely strong intents were clashing with one another. Separated by tens of thousands of worlds, they clashed through numerous space pillars.

Qingxuan’s body was already shaking like he couldn’t take it anymore.

However, the entire process lasted several breaths and in just a moment it calmed down.

Qingxuan’s incarnation in this area stabilized once more.

“So, it is the Absolute Beginning Dragon, you actually managed to succeed in this Sword Technique! It isn’t merged but the ‘one’ of the Grand Path. Grade-12 World Destroying, you have a chance to enter the True Realm, no wonder you are so confident!”

Then, he sighed and his tone was extremely firm, “However, it is impossible if you want me to watch on as my disciples die here. If that is really the case, then I don’t mind fighting with you!”

Dragon Shadow took a step back, retracting his aura and shaking his head.

“I can’t be bothered to make a move. Let them handle it themselves...”

“Oh?”

Qingxuan exclaimed and looked toward Dragon Shadow, “What does Cultivator Dragon Shadow mean?”

“Both of us don’t interfere and just watch!”

Dragon Shadow said casually, his eyes filled with an expression of blame as he looked toward Aokun.

“The three of them can solve their own hatred, their life and death is up to the Heavens! They also won’t have any regrets about this!”

The moment these words were spoken, Mingyu instinctively frowned. He didn’t know why Dragon Shadow would do that?

He had the upper hand and needed just one sword to end Huayun and Longxuan’s lives. Even this Qingxuan Taoist Ancestor couldn’t stop him, so why did he take a step back?

Was it because of Zong Shou? To sacrifice Aokun for Zong Shou? However, judging from his personality, he didn’t seem like someone who was so heartless.

Moments later, he comprehended something. It was most probably something that Aokun himself wanted, to take revenge using his own strength.

Then, how did this person feel so confident to be able to fight, one against two?

Huayun and Longxuan were both delighted. That Absolute Beginning Dragon Sword that even Qingxuan couldn’t suppress made them feel despair.

At this time, it was like they heard a Celestial voice, they were surprised and had a feeling like they had escaped from death.

Two Intermediate Saint Realm Experts, fighting two against one. If they couldn’t win, then they had nothing to say...

Qingxuan was expressionless and didn’t agree right away. He sized up Aokun with a dark gaze.

His eyes flashed with hesitation. With Dragon Shadow covering his aura, he couldn’t see through the strength of that person.

He could feel the threads of abnormal energy around Aokun. This person was obviously extremely dangerous!

Dragon Shadow definitely wouldn’t come up with this bet if he had no chances of winning at all.

Just as he hesitated, Dragon Shadow scoffed coldly, “If this doesn’t work, then I can only personally attack today!”

Qingxuan’s brow rose up and knew what Dragon Shadow meant. He had no other choice today!
