The roar fell, and to the amazement of all, a five-colored divine dragon suddenly appeared above the clouds.

Atop the dragon's head, a pair of horns like a craftsman's handiwork stood out conspicuously.

As the dragon's body shifted, the pond below brightened as if it were daytime.

With the opening of the dragon's mouth, the power to devour mountains and rivers emerged.

All the animals above the pond transformed into points of light and fell into the dragon's mouth.

The stench of blood reappeared, even more potent than before.

Facing the mutation of the exotic dragon, Ye Tiande's heart and soul trembled, and he attempted to increase his strength to break free from his shackles.

But it was all in vain.

His actions attracted the attention of the exotic dragon.

The blood-red eyes on the dragon's head flashed suddenly.

Then, the dragon beast rushed towards Ye Tiande, the intense killing intent it carried causing the surrounding area to gradually fracture.

Bang!

Boom boom!!!

At the moment Ye Tiande was struck, the light once again pierced his vision.

He immediately felt pain emanating from his chest.

Looking down, he saw that blood had seeped from his chest.

Without his protective pressure, rain fell upon him.

His cold sweat was hidden from view.

Gazing at the indifferent sword-wielding figure ahead.

Ye Tiande fell into deep thought.

But he quickly regained his senses.

Activating his cultivation technique, the blood oozing from his chest immediately stopped.

The remnants of small flames in his meridians were also completely dispelled.

"What a bizarre spirit art!"

Regaining his composure, Ye Tiande grew gradually excited.

If Xia Liu's cultivation were stronger, that strange strike might have killed him here.

His excitement stemmed from the fact that, in the future, this mysterious spirit art would be his!

The disparity in cultivation was too vast; Xia Liu had no chance of victory!

Moreover, with four Qi Cultivation Thirteenth Rank elders behind him, Ye Tiande felt assured.

Speaking of the four elders.

At this moment, all four were baffled.

Observing the battle with the naked eye, they completely failed to understand what had just happened.

In an instant, two extreme moves were shattered.

It was Ye Tiande, with Qi Cultivation at Rank Fifteen, who was injured and bleeding.

The bizarre nature of it was simply staggering.

Although Xia Liu was only at Qi Cultivation Rank Ten, after this battle, even the four elders at Qi Cultivation Rank Thirteen harbored fear in their hearts.

"No, that's not a spirit art; there's no aura of spirit art. Could it be an attribute of that spiritual artifact?"

Ye Tiande was startled into awakening again.

If his suspicions were correct, then the blood-red longsword in Xia Liu's hand must be acquired.

With this sword obtained and studied, it wouldn't take long to become invincible within the same rank.

By then, only one of the five celestial sects of Huaxia would remain, and it would be the supreme immortal sect, the Xuantian Sect!

"Hahaha!!!"

Laughing wildly, it seemed Ye Tiande had forgotten his hatred.

His sole objective now was to seize the Flowing Fire Sword.

With the Flowing Fire Sword in hand, the entire world would become his domain!

The five celestial sects of Huaxia had been at odds for so long; it was time to end it all!

"If you want my sword, then come and try!"

Having his secret exposed, Xia Liu's expression grew colder.

Ye Tiande and Ye Chen were the same.

Not just them; in this world, many more cultivators like them existed.

To kill and rob treasure was commonplace.

Xia Liu would not let him succeed.

Even if it meant releasing all his cultivation, he would bury him here!

"Try?"

Hahahahaha!!!

Ye Tiande questioned before laughing again.

If he hadn't suddenly been hit earlier, there wouldn't have been any chance for Xia Liu to speak.

After the first strike, he was confident he would not fall for it a second time.

For in that state of mind, he smelled the trace of formation.

It was all just an illusion.

As long as he guarded his heart, there was a great chance of remaining unscathed.

Even if one were drawn in, it wouldn't matter.

Because Xia Liu's cultivation was too weak to pose a significant threat to him.

"Next, try this move from me! Stellar Scar Collapse!"

With hands forming seals, dense spiritual energy, almost liquid, floated continuously from Ye Tiande's body.

The Xuantian Sect's supreme grade spirit technique appeared suddenly.

Ye Tiande harbored murderous intent, holding nothing back!

"It's Stellar Scar Collapse!"

"That's the supreme spirit technique of the sect, at supreme grade. That young man will die instantly!"

"This..."

The four elders were speechless, with Ye Tiande facing Xia Liu at Qi Cultivation Rank Ten.

He actually used Xuantian Sect's highest rank spirit technique.

It was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Did he not fear losing face for the Xuantian Sect should this be known?

To combat a cultivator of Qi Cultivation Rank Fifteen against one at Rank Ten, and be forced to use supreme grade spirit technique.

In any light, Xuantian Sect's reputation was already tarnished.

"Father! Hurry and take action, he can't withstand Sect Master Ye's move!"

Atop the mountain peak, an urgent spirit sound suddenly emerged.

On a rock, four figures appeared suddenly.

It was Liu Mingyue and Lu Fang!

The other two, one with white hair and a middle-aged face, exuded a faint thick aura.

The other, with similar hair, had a somewhat wrinkled face; even though he retained his youthfulness, the ravages of time showed signs of aging.

"Mingyue, is he the one you call the dragon among men: Xia Liu?"

The white-haired cultivator with a middle-aged face asked calmly.

"Yes, he is Xia Liu. If it weren't for him, Lu Fang and I might have died in Doomsday Valley, and we wouldn't have been able to bring the Jade Pure Lotus Seed back to heal father."

Liu Mingyue nodded, her red eyes trembling incessantly.

She was anxious. K#ee$p@ us g@o-ing# by r&ead$in+g- on M$V_$L^E%M._+P&YR!..

At this time, how could her father still ask such foolish questions?

If he didn't act, Xia Liu might die.

"Cultivation at Qi Rank Ten is indeed remarkable, and that spiritual artifact in his hand is quite exceptional."

Liu Hong wasn't in a hurry to act.

He carefully scrutinized Xia Liu, nodding albeit with some disappointment as it fell short of his expectations.

"Father, if you don't act now, he will die..."

Liu Mingyue was about to collapse.

This wasn't the time to discuss Xia Liu's capabilities; saving him was the priority.

"My dear daughter, are you being one-sided?"

Liu Hong patted Liu Mingyue's forehead. This daughter of his was truly exasperating.

"I don't know what you're talking about. You promised to come and help, so are you just going to watch him die before you?"

Liu Mingyue's attitude shifted, becoming chillingly cold.

"Mingyue, don't worry. It's not that your father is unwilling to act, but there's no need for him to."

As Liu Mingyue's aura turned icy, Lu Mu calmly explained.

"Hmm? Dad, what do you mean by there's no need for uncle to act?"

Lu Fang was puzzled. Seeing Xia Liu facing a powerful move naturally made him anxious.

But with two great powers present, surely they would save Xia Liu.

Yet, he didn't understand why his father said Liu Hong doesn't need to act.

Could Xia Liu possibly withstand the extreme move of a Qi Cultivation Fifteen Rank on his own???
