#375 - Breaking out
A powerhouse of the Sovereign Emperor Realm has taken action! Which junior could possibly contend against that?
That true energy palm, like a millstone, crushed down, shattering the void along its path. The true energy fluctuations shook the eight directions, its power astonishing!
Jun Wuxie's eyes narrowed slightly, but his heart held no panic, no fear.
At this moment, he was exceptionally calm.
In all these years, how few dangers has he faced?
Walking on the edge of death was not a first for him!
He glanced at the fire dragon above, which was gradually ceasing its thrashing, and then he charged forward fiercely.
Roar!
Crimson demonic light soared into the sky.
A massive demonic form manifested behind him.
His strength instantly increased ninefold!
Under these circumstances, the speed of Divine Travel Without Distance reached its current limit.
With a burst of a hundred times the speed of sound, a deafening sonic boom erupted, and white mist spread everywhere!
"Seven Kill Fist - Yin-Yang Chaos!"
He roared, using the initial velocity of a hundred times the speed of sound to swing his fist, as brilliant as a blazing sun, blasting towards the millstone-sized palm of the Sovereign Emperor Realm powerhouse from the Heaven Opening Sword Sect.
A terrifying phenomenon manifested as his fist imprint bloomed.
The eight directions overturned, heaven and earth collapsed, yin and yang reversed, and order was thrown into chaos!
Boom!
The fist imprint, radiating an extraordinary phenomenon, collided with the true energy palm.
The power of mutual destruction, the dazzling brilliance, spread and radiated wildly from the point of collision, forming an energy storm that annihilated an area of over ten miles.
The intense force generated by the Yin-Yang Chaos buffeted the Heaven Opening Sword Sect's Sovereign Emperor, causing his robes to flutter violently, his gray hair to dance wildly in the wind, and the muscles on his face to cave in from the impact.
With a bang.
The palm imprint and fist imprint shattered simultaneously.
Jun Wuxie's body was struck as if by a massive mountain. His feet scraped along the ground, sliding back hundreds of meters, leaving two trenches over a foot deep in the earth. Before he could stabilize himself, he spewed out a mouthful of golden blood.
The Heaven Opening Sword Sect's Sovereign Emperor also swayed slightly, almost losing his balance and staggering backward, his eyes filled with shock!
Although he had not used his full strength just now, for a young man several major realms below him to not only withstand his palm but also shake his body, it was simply unbelievable!
Everyone was shocked!
This completely overturned their understanding!
The Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Holy Gate, who had always looked down on Jun Wuxie, now revealed strange glimmers in their eyes.
Shangguan Wan'er, Mu Xuelan, the Lord of the Medicine King Sect, and the Lord of the Spirit Control Sect looked at each other, all seeing incredible shock in each other's eyes.
"Hahaha!" Jun Wuxie laughed wildly towards the sky, golden blood gushing from his mouth. He wiped it away fiercely and said, "Sovereign Emperor Realm powerhouse, nothing more than this!"
These words were like a resounding slap to the face of the Heaven Opening Sword Sect's Sovereign Emperor.
A dignified Sovereign Emperor, a top powerhouse recognized by all under heaven.
Now, the Sovereign Emperor Realm powerhouse disregarded his status and personally attacked a young martial artist with a low cultivation realm, not only failing to kill him but also being shaken by the latter's counterattack.
For the Sovereign Emperor, this was simply a great humiliation!
"Boy, I must admit, your talent is unparalleled, no wonder the Military Saint chose you! But precisely because of this, you are even more unlikely to leave here alive today!"
The Heaven Opening Sword Sect's Sovereign Emperor's face was gloomy, his killing intent blazing as he stepped towards Jun Wuxie.
"Enough!"
Shangguan Wan'er lightly tapped her bare feet and floated to stand between the Heaven Opening Sword Sect's Sovereign Emperor and Jun Wuxie.
"Sect Leader Shangguan! What are you doing? Are you going to stand up for Jun Wuxie?" Yan Yangtian looked at her coldly and said, "We have long suspected that Jun Wuxie is related to your Demon Phase Sect, and it seems that it has now been confirmed!"
"Hmph, Shangguan Wan'er! You must give an explanation today!" Jian Nantian's words were stern, "What conspiracy does your Demon Phase Sect have? Secretly teaching Jun Wuxie the Blood Transformation Demonic Art to make him oppose us, is this all directed by your Demon Phase Sect?"
"Hehe, I, Shangguan Wan'er, truly admire you all." She swept her gaze over the Holy Gate, the Heaven Opening Sword Sect, and the others, and sarcastically said, "You call yourselves the righteous path, and say that my Demon Phase Sect is the demonic path, but what you do is extremely shameless, bullying a young man, and still so justified, truly shameless!"
"Shangguan Wan'er, watch your words!" Yan Yangtian narrowed his eyes, "As a sect leader, do you know what your actions represent, and what consequences they will bring to your Demon Phase Sect?"
"Sect Leader Shangguan is right, this matter is you all bullying others too much." Mu Xuelan stepped out, standing shoulder to shoulder with Shangguan Wan'er, her voice cold and clear, "If you really want to deal with Jun Wuxie, you can let your peers fight him. For a Sovereign Emperor Realm powerhouse to take action is truly bullying others with power!"
"This sect agrees with Sect Leader Shangguan and Building Master Mu's statements. As a ruler-level force, you should still have some face. If you always keep your face in your pocket, it will inevitably be criticized." The Lord of the Medicine King Sect also stood out.
The Lord of the Spirit Control Sect walked out from the crowd and said, "I very much agree with the opinions of the three sect leaders. Shamelessness is not a glorious thing. I think you all should have some face and stop embarrassing yourselves."
For a time, the faces of the high-level figures of Yan Yangtian, Jian Nantian, the Xiao Clan, the Yunling Nan Family, and others became extremely gloomy.
They did not expect that at this critical moment, these four would stand up to defend Jun Wuxie.
The ancient remnant beast kings had been watching the show from the sidelines all along.
Internal strife among the human race's forces was something they were very willing to see.
Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate.
The Violet Flame Lion King walked out and said, "In that case, that's perfect. Everyone, you hold them back, and we will kill that kid and snatch back the Fire Lotus. However, the portion that originally belonged to their four sects must belong to us!"
Yan Yangtian and the others were silent.
They had originally planned to temporarily feign compliance with the ancient remnants, and after obtaining the Fire Lotus, the nine major sects would join forces to fight against the ancient remnants. In that case, the Fire Lotus could be divided equally among their nine forces.
Now the situation had changed. If they agreed to those beast kings, it would mean that the number of Fire Lotus petals they could obtain would be drastically reduced!
Jun Wuxie had been calmly watching the current situation change.
He was very grateful to Shangguan Wan'er, Mu Xuelan, the Lord of the Medicine King Sect, and the Lord of the Spirit Control Sect for standing up for him.
But he was very clear that with the ancient remnants present, even if their four major sects helped him, they would not be able to reverse the desperate situation at hand.
He was not only paying attention to the situation in the arena but also to the fire dragon in the sky.
"Lilia, get ready, we're breaking out!"
He secretly transmitted his voice to Lilia.
At present, the only way to temporarily escape the desperate situation was one!
At this time, everyone's attention was on Jun Wuxie.
No one saw the fire dragon in the sky, its eyes filled with pain, revealing a violent emotion.
"Keng!"
It suddenly roared like a dragon, diving down from the nine heavens.
Its thousand-meter-long body carried rolling flames, and the terrifying high temperature startled everyone into looking up at the sky.
"Not good! We don't have time, quickly capture and kill Jun Wuxie!"
Yan Yangtian exclaimed.
Almost at the same time, those Holy Lords took action, reaching out to grab Jun Wuxie.
"Lilia, quickly use the forbidden technique, evade!"
Jun Wuxie leaped up.
At the same time, Lilia's lower body transformed into a horse's body in a burst of white light, and the leaping Jun Wuxie landed right on her back.
Empowered by the Centaur race's bloodline forbidden technique, Wind God Technique, Lilia's speed instantly increased to a terrifying level.
In a flash of lightning, she carried Jun Wuxie past one Holy Lord's grasping hand after another.
The Holy Lords of the various forces were shocked, and the ancient remnant kings were also astonished.
They immediately launched a second capture and kill attempt on Jun Wuxie.
Just then.
Keng!
The fire dragon charged down, its massive dragon body sweeping across the air.
The surrounding space was completely shattered, and the terrifying power startled the powerhouses of the Sovereign Emperor Realm into retreating violently.
The Holy Lords, at the critical moment, wrapped their sects' Sect Kings and disciples to avoid the fire dragon's attack range.
This instantly disintegrated the encirclement they had formed around Jun Wuxie.
"Humans, die!"
The fire dragon was manic, its huge dragon claws raised high and pressed down on Jun Wuxie.
"Lilia, charge towards that mine!"
Jun Wuxie's pupils contracted. The huge dragon claws, flashing with a terrifying metallic luster, were tearing the space apart.
When the dragon claws fell, they only struck the afterimages of him and Lilia.
Lilia, like a ray of white light, rushed out tens of thousands of meters away.
"Damn humans, you still want to run?"
The fire dragon swung its body and chased after them.
"Block it, the Fire Lotus must not fall into its hands again!"
"This fire dragon's state is not right, it seems weaker than it was during the tribulation!"
"There's a domain here, Jun Wuxie can't escape. Let's join forces to kill the fire dragon, and then kill Jun Wuxie!"
The Holy Lord Realm powerhouses of the various forces saw that the fire dragon's state was not right, and a crazy idea suddenly arose in their hearts!
Slay the dragon!
They would slay the dragon today!
Dragon meat, dragon blood, dragon scales, dragon tendons, dragon bones, dragon horns, dragon heart, dragon gallbladder, all were legendary peerless materials for refining weapons and medicines!
Even if this fire dragon had just successfully transformed, the grade of its various parts must have reached the Saint level!
Clang!
A battle sword, evolving the phenomenon of heaven and earth splitting, slashed towards the fire dragon.
At the same time, a scorching solar sword energy also followed, slashing towards it.
The other Holy Lord Realm powerhouses also took action, attacking the fire dragon.
The fire dragon's movements were restricted. It turned around, opened its mouth, and spewed out dragon flames, engulfing a large area in front, dissolving the attacks, and then, with a lunge, chased after the direction Jun Wuxie had left in.
"Chase! The fire dragon must have encountered some accident during the tribulation. It will be difficult for it to recover in a short time. Now is a good time for us to kill it. If we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid there will be no chance!"
The Holy Sons from the various factions had fervent looks in their eyes.
In their opinion, the fire dragon's physical body was no less valuable than that fire lotus!
Now, they wanted both the fire lotus and the fire dragon's physical body!
