Chapter 1048: Chapter 1047: Revenge_1
"Is this true?"
The Ice Emperor’s offensive slowed.
Back in the days of the great battle between the righteous and the demonic, nearly everyone who participated and survived bore some degree of trauma. Some, like the Ice Emperor and Flame Sun Great Emperor, came to dangerous places in search of opportunities, some sought quiet places to heal, while others went deep into the South Sea, Miaojiang... employing various methods.
But their goal was the same, to recover and enhance themselves as quickly as possible in order to contend with the more intense upheavals of the great era! Therefore, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, no one would give up.
Both the Flame Sun Great Emperor and the Thunderbolt Emperor reduced some of their force; the Thunderbolt Emperor hesitated without answering, but the Flame Sun Great Emperor took the lead, "If you don’t believe it, Ice Emperor, you can interrogate anyone here at any time."
Such methods were, of course, a piece of cake for the Ice Emperor. Moments later, the Ice Emperor learned everything about Shi Xiaole from some martial artists, even his white pupils contracting.
The Flame Sun Great Emperor laughed, "So, an opportunity not to be missed. With that lad’s potential, perhaps in three to five years, he could catch up with us, and by then it would be too late to act. I have already remembered the boy’s aura; when the time comes, if the three of us join forces, he wouldn’t be able to escape even if he had wings!"
Saying that Shi Xiaole could catch up with him in three to five years was of course an exaggeration by the Flame Sun Great Emperor. The gap between the Heavenly Realm level and the Earthly Realm level is a chasm apart; every small step forward is immensely difficult. But at times like this, the more exaggerated, the better.
The Ice Emperor looked at the Thunderbolt Emperor, "Do you agree?"
The Thunderbolt Emperor did not immediately answer.
Meanwhile, the hearts of the many masters of the Tang Sect were lifted.
They had just recently received kindness from Shi Xiaole, and if the Thunderbolt Emperor turned around to deal with the latter, it would be like repaying kindness with enmity.
Besides, was someone like Shi Xiaole that easy to kill? There was a risk of not only failing to gain the advantage but accidentally courting disaster for the Tang Sect by provoking an extraordinary enemy.
The Flame Sun Great Emperor grew angry, "Thunderbolt Emperor, what are you hesitating about? Are you perhaps afraid of that youngster who’s not even a fraction of your age? If you really lack the courage, just block his escape route when the time comes; the Ice Emperor and I will take care of the rest."
The Thunderbolt Emperor remained silent.
But at this moment, another voice entered the arena, resounding in everyone’s ears: "Why go through such trouble? I am right here; if you want my life, come and take it."
Suddenly, a sword light pierced through the red, white, and purple abstract barrier. As the sword light retracted, it revealed a tall and straight figure in a blue robe with an unmatched demeanor.
"The Kirin Sword Emperor!"
Seeing this figure, a Tang Sect master exclaimed, followed by more wide-eyed gazes, all looking up to size up this legendary figure from the Flying Horse Dynasty.
The Multi-armed Martial Emperor transmitted a message urgently, "Kirin Sword Emperor, you must not do this. The Ice Emperor and Flame Sun Great Emperor want to deal with you, the right path is to leave quickly."
If it were just the Ice Emperor and Flame Sun Great Emperor, the Multi-armed Martial Emperor believed Shi Xiaole had a fair chance of escaping. But if the Thunderbolt Emperor joined in as well, it would be uncertain, and this was precisely what the Multi-armed Martial Emperor feared most.
So much so that he didn’t have time to ponder why Shi Xiaole would appear so impulsively.
The Flame Sun Great Emperor was taken aback, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Lad, it seems you are quite confident, eh?"
Limited by the uniqueness of the Heavenly Desire Origin, the Flame Sun Great Emperor was not surprised by his failure to detect Shi Xiaole immediately. He wondered if Shi Xiaole had acquired some incredible treasure; otherwise, how dare he be so bold?
"It’s not about being confident, you just broke my sword, and I’m here to seek justice."
Shi Xiaole said calmly.
He had long escaped the entrapment of desire in the Heavenly Desire Origin, so his range of detection was much greater than others; he could see the scene clearly for tens of thousands of meters.
Everyone showed a strange expression. It seemed that Shi Xiaole was not afraid of the Flame Sun Great Emperor. Shouldn’t he be, though? Couldn’t he see that out of the three top Heavenly Realm Martial Emperors present, any one of them could make a move against him?
"Justice? Last time I was careless, and you were lucky to escape. It seems you haven’t learned your lesson, so you might as well stay behind for me,"
Not in the mood for idle chatter, the Flame Sun Great Emperor bellowed furiously, his large hand transforming into a fierce sun, covering Shi Xiaole with the intent to illuminate everything. Of course, he had his wits about him and kept his distance.
Using his arm as a sword, Shi Xiaole’s fingertip strikes formed tens of thousands of cyan sword lights, continuously piercing towards the fierce sun. Every collision caused the sky to change colors successively.
In this process, Shi Xiaole moved nimbly, constantly getting closer to the Flame Sun Great Emperor.
"As expected, it’s a trick."
With a sneer in his heart, the Flame Sun Great Emperor kept palming towards Shi Xiaole, covering his own retreat. He would not give Shi Xiaole any chance to get close. At the same time, he did not forget to secretly signal to the Ice Emperor and Thunderbolt Emperor, inviting them to join hands with him.
Unexpectedly, the two didn’t respond at all.
"The two bastards want to wear me down and then pick up an easy victory,"
The Flame Sun Great Emperor’s face was filled with rage, but since Shi Xiaole had set his sights on him, it put him in a difficult position to stand aside. Even more infuriatingly for the Flame Sun Great Emperor, while he was locked in fierce combat with Shi Xiaole, the Ice Emperor and Thunderbolt Emperor seized the opportunity to rush towards a superior Spiritual Weapon, each eager to snatch one.
"Stop right there! Kid, get lost! Red Flame Sinking Sun Palm!"
Concentrating his power in the palm of his hands, the Flame Sun Great Emperor clapped them fiercely, as if he intended to shatter the void itself. In his haste, the distance between him and Shi Xiaole inevitably closed significantly.
Shi Xiaole felt a tingling sensation all over his skin, fully aware that if he were to be struck by this palm, he would be seriously wounded if not killed. However, opportunities didn’t wait for anyone.
"Evil Blood Calamity!"
With his blood boiling and empowered by the "Purple Blood Great Method," the fully developed "Evil Blood Calamity" suddenly erupted.
"Not this trick again, you think... what?"
The Flame Sun Great Emperor was profoundly shocked. In that moment, he felt as if his blood was flowing outwards, and even though he managed to draw it back immediately, the loss of essence blood was much more substantial than the last time.
Without a doubt, the youth had improved, but if this was his trump card, then the Flame Sun Great Emperor was about to make Shi Xiaole realize what true regret was.
Before he could finish his thought, Shi Xiaole’s cold and ruthless voice echoed overhead: "Heart of Heaven Calamity!"
Crackle!
A boundless pain suddenly surged in the heart of the Flame Sun Great Emperor, turning his complexion pale as his heart seemed to be torn in half, an unbearable agony.
What made matters worse was that the Flame Sun Great Emperor clearly felt that his heart energy had been violently shaken by Shi Xiaole’s enigmatic strike.
"Formless Sword!"
Following the "Evil Blood Calamity" and "Heart of Heaven Calamity" was the "Formless Sword." The energy between heaven and earth coalesced above Shi Xiaole’s head, forming a thousand-yard divine sword. With a light sweep of his arm, he quickly slashed at the Flame Sun Great Emperor with no time to spare.
Spurt...
Under a series of successive strikes by Shi Xiaole, the previously imposing Flame Sun Great Emperor was forced to retreat uncontrollably, as if he were an arrow shot in reverse. The sword wound on his chest was three inches deep, and blood spurted out as if it cost nothing.
