Countless divine lights erupted on the arena stage as various Dao techniques clashed in a dazzling display.
The sheer power of the collision shook the sturdy platform, causing formation patterns to surface.
"Ying Tianxiao, is that all the strength you have?"
"You can't even break through my defenses. With such meager power, you think you can challenge Fang Chen?"
The Nine Suns Holy Son taunted as he parried Ying Tianxiao's attacks.
Ying Tianxiao's face darkened. He snorted coldly, "You're asking for death. Today, I'll show you how I slaughter you!"
With a roar, Ying Tianxiao transformed into a colossal eagle. Its massive body blotted out the sun, and its feathers vibrated, each one transforming into a sword-like blade that emitted a metallic clang.
This was the divine ability of the Giant Eagle Clan—a devastating technique where each feather became a razor-sharp blade, impossible to resist.
A thunderous crash shook the arena!
A rain of swords descended, plummeting toward the Nine Suns Holy Son.
The entire stage was engulfed by this storm of feathery blades.
"Heh, you think you can kill me? Keep dreaming."
"Nine Suns Holy Body!"
The Nine Suns Holy Son roared, and a golden light erupted from his body, forming a radiant shield around him, its surface covered in intricate dao patterns.
Bathed in this golden radiance, the Nine Suns Holy Son resembled a sun blazing in the sky, his brilliance dazzling as he surveyed the world with disdain.
*Boom!*
The Nine Suns Holy Son unleashed a punch, and a terrifying force erupted. The swarming sword feathers couldn't penetrate his defenses, instead being blasted away by the single strike.
Then, the Nine Suns Holy Son soared through the air, directly at Ying Tianxiao.
Another punch landed squarely on Ying Tianxiao's body.
The overwhelming force shattered Ying Tianxiao's defenses as if they were made of paper.
In an instant, Ying Tianxiao's body couldn't withstand the impact and exploded!
Crimson blood splattered across the sky, and countless sword feathers rained down onto the arena floor.
Only Ying Tianxiao's terrified soul remained, staring in horror at the Nine Suns Holy Son. He had never imagined his opponent could be so terrifyingly powerful.
"Perish!"
The Nine Suns Holy Son proved to be a ruthless individual. Seeing that only a wisp of Ying Tianxiao's soul remained, he struck without hesitation. He cared not if Ying Tianxiao belonged to an Ancient Royal Clan or what his status was within his Holy Land. If you dare to threaten to kill him, you must be prepared to die.
"How dare you!"
"Stop!"
The Ancient Demon Clan, except for the Snow Clan, erupted in angry shouts as the Nine Suns Holy Son moved to strike the final blow against Ying Tianxiao. The Heavenly Pride of the Ancient Demon Clan could no longer remain seated. Though Ying Tianxiao's defeat was a blow to their pride, they could not stand by and watch him be killed by the Nine Suns Holy Son. This would be a direct insult to the Ancient Demon Clan.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar shook the void, and space tore open. A colossal hand emerged from the void, its terrifying aura sweeping over the crowd, leaving everyone in shock.
*Crack!*
Before the massive hand, the arena's formation shattered into pieces, collapsing completely. The giant hand then seized Ying Tianxiao's soul and vanished.
As he departed, a divine light erupted and slashed toward the Nine Suns Holy Son.
"This old bastard has completely thrown all shame aside!"
"Hey, powerhouses of the Great Qin Dynasty! How can you stand by while this old bastard runs wild in Emperor's Tomb City?"
An ancient voice boomed.
The divine light aimed at the Nine Suns Holy Son halted mid-air and exploded like fireworks, dazzling the night sky in a spectacular display that posed no threat to the Holy Son.
The Nine Suns Holy Son remained composed, as if he had anticipated this all along.
Many frowned slightly. This Holy Son's composure was truly extraordinary.
With danger looming, he showed no panic or even a flicker of fear. Such mental fortitude was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Truly worthy of being the Nine Suns Holy Son," many thought, their faces showing admiration. This was the mental fortitude and strength that countless aspired to.
"These old bastards are shameless, openly interfering in a young man's competition," the Nine Suns Holy Son grumbled.
Though he maintained a calm facade, he was actually utterly exhausted.
To defeat Ying Tianxiao, he had used all his strength, completely depleting his spiritual energy and leaving him utterly exhausted.
When the divine light struck, he panicked, fearing that if the Holy Land's guardians acted too slowly, he would die. Fortunately, the Holy Land's experts intervened in time.
*These guys were definitely doing it on purpose,* the Nine Suns Holy Son muttered to himself. *With their strength, stopping that would have been effortless—they didn't even need any secret techniques. They just wanted to scare me.*
He knew his own guardians' personalities too well: they were utterly disrespectful despite their age. His current temperament was partly due to this.
"I apologize. It was just an accident; I didn't control my power properly," a Giant Eagle Clan expert stepped forward to explain.
Naturally, they would never admit it was intentional. Doing so would invite retaliation from the human experts.
Neither the Nine Suns Holy Land nor the Great Qin Dynasty would let this matter rest.
Especially the Great Qin Dynasty—this was their territory. If the Nine Suns Holy Son had been harmed here, and especially if he had died at the hands of these senior experts, they would never let it go.
That would put the Giant Eagle Clan in serious trouble.
So, the Giant Eagle Clan expert offered a casual explanation, hoping to smooth things over.
"Even if it was an accident, your actions were still problematic."
"True Person Ziyang will counter with one strike. Ying Zhengfeng won't be able to withstand it!"
"Otherwise, every life in the Giant Eagle Clan will remain here."
Emperor Qin of the Great Qin Dynasty spoke, his voice filled with absolute authority, leaving no room for argument.
"No, that's unacceptable!" a Giant Eagle Clan expert protested.
Such a minor offense shouldn't warrant such a severe punishment. It was a matter of honor.
"Of course, you have another option: a battle between us. The winner will be declared right." Emperor Qin stated, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
Ying Zhengfeng's defiance was a direct challenge to his authority.
The Giant Eagle Clan fell silent.
"Since there are no objections, it will be handled this way," Emperor Qin declared decisively.
Seeing this, no one spoke further.
True Person Ziyang showed no restraint, unleashing a divine technique that gravely wounded Ying Zhengfeng.
The Giant Eagle Clan expert's body exploded, blood splattering through the air. Even when his body reformed, his face was deathly pale, clearly indicating severe injuries.
"He didn't kill him!" True Person Ziyang complained.
The assembled crowd frowned, surprised that True Person Ziyang had actually intended to kill.
Even if Ziyang wanted to, Emperor Qin did not.
While the Great Qin Dynasty wasn't afraid of the Giant Eagle Clan, they had no desire to provoke the Ancient Royal Clan of the Ancient Demon Clan without cause. Doing so would bring unnecessary trouble, even for the Great Qin Dynasty.
