Liang Hao wielded the Dragon Fang Pestle and wore the Emperor-grade Ring as he charged into the crowd like an unstoppable force. Every move he unleashed instantly sent waves of minor enemies straight to their deaths.
"Take another one of my moves—Frost Blossoms Fill the Sky!"
Apparently feeling the scene still wasn't grand enough, Liang Hao activated his newly developed AOE ultimate skill, calling down heavenly judgment from above.
In an instant, countless enemies were blasted into the air amid endless screams.
"This is the price for offending our Arbitration Council. In your next life, remember to use your brains and never provoke beings far beyond your reach."
Liang Hao looked very satisfied with his handiwork. This kind of large-scale battlefield clearing truly gave him a strangely pleasant sense of enjoyment.
At that moment, a thunderous voice echoed through the heavens.
"How dare you! What rat dares cause trouble in the territory of my Nether Phoenix Clan?"
Liang Hao looked up and immediately raised the Dragon Fang Pestle.
"Perfect timing. Let's see how your daddy handles you today!"
As soon as he spoke, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed upward.
Boom!
The moment the two beams of light collided, Liang Hao was blasted backward over seventy meters.
"Pfft—"
As soon as he stabilized himself after landing, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Ling Yuxuan stood in midair, looking down at Liang Hao with undisguised killing intent.
"So it's you brat who dared injure members of my Nether Phoenix Clan?"
Liang Hao sneered.
"Hah! So you're allowed to rob people like bandits, but I'm not allowed to strike back and wipe out your whole family?
What, you think the Divine Phoenix Ruins belong to your Ling family now? Ridiculous."
"Very good. Since an ant like you wants death, I'll grant your wish."
Ling Yuxuan raised both palms, instantly releasing overwhelming pressure toward Liang Hao.
"Urgh—"
Liang Hao immediately felt a crushing weight descend upon his shoulders. Letting out a muffled groan, he relied on the power of his Emperor-grade artifact to forcibly withstand the pressure of a Selfless Realm expert.
"Hm? An Emperor-grade spiritual weapon?"
Ling Yuxuan looked surprised when he noticed the Dragon Fang Pestle in Liang Hao's hand.
"No wonder a mere sixth-level Nirvana Realm ant can endure my pressure.
So it's because of an Emperor-grade weapon. Excellent. Today I'll gain two Emperor-grade artifacts for free. Your death won't be meaningless."
Ling Yuxuan stomped down lightly, causing space itself to ripple.
"Netherstep!"
A pitch-black phoenix instantly materialized beneath his feet and lunged toward Liang Hao.
"Dragon Transformation Art — Dragon Soars Through the Void!"
Liang Hao immediately counterattacked.
Dragon and phoenix energies collided violently, causing terrifying spiritual shockwaves.
The dark phoenix shattered the dragon aura with a flap of its wings, and the residual force swept straight toward Liang Hao.
Just as Liang Hao was about to be killed, a massive sword aura descended from the sky and transformed into a sword shield, blocking the fatal strike.
"Hm?"
While Ling Yuxuan was still puzzled, Linghu Ming floated elegantly onto the battlefield.
"Brother, your timing is perfect. That entrance deserves full marks."
"Of course. How strong is the opponent?"
"I tested him already. A Selfless Realm expert is terrifying indeed, but it's not impossible to beat him."
"Don't forget—I'm Selfless Realm too."
"Then let's team up and completely crush him."
"Deal."
The two quickly finalized their strategy. Linghu Ming attacked first, charging straight at Ling Yuxuan.
Liang Hao gripped the Dragon Fang Pestle tightly, silently waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.
The two exchanged dozens of blows in the void, fighting evenly.
Finally, Ling Yuxuan lost patience and activated the Nether Phoenix bloodline within him, forming a blade of energy before slashing out.
"Phoenix Wing Slash!"
The spreading-wing phoenix transformed into a streak of light and shot toward Linghu Ming.
"Vertical and Horizontal Sword Art — Cold Light Illuminates the Nine Provinces!"
Linghu Ming raised his sword and countered. His sharp sword aura pierced directly through the phoenix.
The violent shockwave sent both fighters flying backward simultaneously.
"Now!"
Seeing the opportunity, Liang Hao instantly circled behind Ling Yuxuan and hurled the Dragon Fang Pestle while his opponent was distracted.
Bang!
A loud explosion rang out as Ling Yuxuan was struck in the back, immediately coughing up blood.
"Get lost!"
Enraged, he struck backward with a palm attack directly at Liang Hao.
Caught off guard, Liang Hao hastily blocked with the pestle, but was still blasted dozens of meters away.
At the same moment Ling Yuxuan lost focus, Linghu Ming's sword aura struck his chest again, forcing him back more than ten steps before he had to land on the ground.
"Something's wrong!"
Liang Hao and Linghu Ming spoke simultaneously.
"He took a direct hit from my Dragon Fang Pestle and only coughed up blood?"
"My sword strike was precise and vicious, yet it barely hurt him?"
The two exchanged glances and instantly understood.
"He must have protective armor."
"At least Emperor-grade."
"Perfect! I'm still lacking defensive gear anyway. It's always troublesome borrowing Big Brother's equipment. Since he delivered himself to us, we'd be rude not to accept it."
After learning that Ling Yuxuan possessed an Emperor-grade defensive artifact, the two shameless schemers became even more excited instead of retreating.
They were determined to rob him.
After suffering a coordinated sneak attack, Ling Yuxuan was furious. He immediately activated his true essence, preparing to annihilate the two in one strike.
But the two schemers reacted even faster.
"Catch!"
Liang Hao tossed the Dragon Fang Pestle to Linghu Ming, and the two instantly split left and right,不给凌宇轩任何喘息机会.
Facing their relentless assault, Ling Yuxuan could only barely defend himself.
"Damn it. Even with the Phoenix Wing Emperor Armor protecting me, this can't continue. If I don't eliminate one of them first, I'll eventually lose."
In the blink of an eye, another hundred exchanges passed.
After trading one more blow, the three quickly distanced themselves.
"Damn. We're both at third-level Selfless Realm, so why can't I do anything to him? Are Emperor-grade artifacts really that terrifying?"
"It's not just the Emperor-grade weapon. He possesses Nether Phoenix bloodline power, which significantly boosts his combat strength. We absolutely can't let him recover."
Liang Hao and Linghu Ming exchanged a glance before grinning at each other.
Ling Yuxuan took a deep breath. As phoenix blood rapidly circulated through his body, his spiritual energy recovered by seventy to eighty percent.
"You all deserve to die!"
Having never suffered such humiliation before, Ling Yuxuan exploded with rage and unleashed his full power, intending to kill the two schemers in one devastating attack.
But at that moment, another figure suddenly entered the battlefield.
"Seven Dragon Arts — Soaring Dragon in the Sky!"
Roar—
The sharp whistle of a spear echoed out alongside a soul-shaking dragon roar, descending like a violent storm from the heavens.
"What?! This is—"
Before he could react, a lone goose-like figure closed in instantly, thrusting a spear toward Ling Yuxuan's shoulder.
Slash!
With a tearing sound, Ling Yuxuan instinctively dodged. Though he avoided a fatal strike, the Emperor-grade spear tip still pierced through his armor and into his shoulder.
"Argh!"
Ling Yuxuan groaned in pain and looked up through gritted teeth.
Before him stood a breathtakingly beautiful woman whose appearance rivaled Yu Xiyan herself.
Her beauty was suffocating. Stunning beyond words.
But before he could even process the feeling of shock, intense pain overwhelmed his mind.
"Cloud-Dispelling Palm — Overturning Mountains and Seas!"
Boom!
Su Yunying followed up with a palm strike to his chest.
The spear was pulled free as the force blasted Ling Yuxuan flying away.
The next moment—
"Vertical and Horizontal Sword Art — Heaven and Earth Belong to Me!"
"Heaven Frost Fist — Frost Wind Strikes the Face!"
Linghu Ming and Liang Hao seized the opportunity and unleashed a frenzied barrage on the out-of-control Ling Yuxuan, beating him until he completely lost the ability to resist.
Finally, Liang Hao smashed the Dragon Fang Pestle into Ling Yuxuan's injured shoulder, slamming him violently into the ground.
At that moment, Ling Yuxuan nearly wanted to cry.
Humiliating.
Too damn humiliating.
These shameless bastards had no martial ethics whatsoever—sneak attacks, group beatings, dirty tricks…
How the hell was he supposed to fight this?
Just as Ling Yuxuan was about to die there, a loud phoenix cry suddenly rang out across the sky.
Immediately afterward, the surrounding air turned freezing cold, making everyone shiver uncontrollably.
"What's that?"
The three simultaneously looked up.
"Stop! Release my senior brother!"
In midair stood a peerlessly beautiful woman surrounded by swirling snowstorms.
Behind her loomed the phantom of an icy phoenix, solid and majestic.
Her face was cold as frost, like an emperor descending upon the mortal world, proudly gazing down at them.
