Chapter 1167: Emperor's Aura
In most of the battles before, Zhao Fu had either used his Great Qin Seal or Nation Armaments to achieve victory. Now, he realized that he had overly relied on them and had not properly used his own power, which was a shortcoming.
In response to Zhao Fu's challenge, everyone looked at the top three people on the Ancient Stem Rankings. Now that Leng Shang had lost, only they could act.
This time, that Emperor had savagely slapped the Ancient Stem Domain's face again and again. One by one, the Ancient Stem Domain's geniuses had challenged him, and one by one, they had fallen. Who would do something about the Ancient Stem Domain's face?
Luckily, this person was an Emperor who had come from the Heaven Domain, so it was understandable that he had such power. If it was someone else, the Ancient Stem Domain's geniuses would not have the face to see anyone anymore.
Everyone looked to Yin Ruoshi; now that Leng Shang had lost, she was next.
However, Yin Ruoshi lightly shook her head; she was only slightly stronger than Leng Shang, and Leng Shang had lost so decisively against Zhao Fu. She did not have any chance at winning either, so she could only shake her head and express that she would not challenge Zhao Fu.
As such, everyone looked to Gu Jian. Under everyone's gazes, Gu Jian calmly walked up onto the arena.
The surroundings fell into silence as everyone looked at Gu Jian seriously. They hoped that this genius in the Path of the Sword could bring back some of the Ancient Stem Domain's honor.
Boom!
As Gu Jian stood on the arena, a massive sword aura exploded out, piercing the sky. Gu Jian was like a peerless sword, and facing the monstrously powerful Zhao Fu, Gu Jian unleashed all of his power.
Shing, shing, shing...
Gu Jian waved his hand, causing swords to fly out from his body. There were 1,000 or so in total, and each one of them gave off sharp sword light as well as a powerful aura. The lowest grade was Epic grade, and the sword aura that they gave off seemed enough to destroy the heavens and earth.
A sword wind rippled out, causing the ground to be torn by the sword qi. The barrier started to crack, and those around the arena quickly retreated in shock.
Boom!
Gu Jian charged towards Zhao Fu with the 1,000 swords in tow, looking like a river of swords. The space around them could not withstand the sword aura and started to be torn.
Sensing this aura, Zhao Fu felt a sense of crisis. Given that the attack covered such a large area, there was no way for Zhao Fu to dodge, so he could only defend.
Zhao Fu stretched out a hand as the Emperor's Domain expanded out, as did the transparent blood-red orbs. The 72 of them layered together and covered the Emperor's Domain.
Countless traces of eerie aura spread out as six gray compasses also appeared; they were the Six Paths Defensive Barrier.
Boom!
The river of swords ferociously slammed into Zhao Fu's defensive barrier, which started to shatter layer by layer, and Zhao Fu was soon exposed to the attack from the river of swords.
The sharp sword qi easily tore open Zhao Fu's flesh, causing small cuts of appear on Zhao Fu's body.
Bang!
Even though Zhao Fu used his full power to defend, his defensive barrier was still destroyed, and Zhao Fu was sent flying back by the river of swords.
Everyone could not help but feel excited; it was the first time someone had forced the Emperor into such a wretched state and injured him. Moreover, he was not lightly injured either; Gu Jian definitely had a chance to win.
It seemed that this Emperor was not so terrifying; this was understandable because the main requirement of the Ten Thousand Dragon Stage was one's Fate.
This Emperor's natural endowments were naturally exceptional and as an Emperor, the amount of Fate he had would be like an ocean, so everyone was convinced of this. However, the Ancient Stem Rankings was based on strength, and without true strength, all of that was meaningless.
Moreover, from his current performance, that Emperor seemed like he could only rank below Gu Jian. Some had said that he was an existence above the Ancient Stem Domain, but that was evidently an exaggeration.
Seeing Zhao Fu being blasted back by Gu Jian's river of swords, everyone felt sure as to Zhao Fu's strength. They no longer felt as much respect or as much worry because this Emperor was not all that much.
Yin Ruoshi slightly frowned; this Emperor was not as strong as she had expected; perhaps she would have had a chance against him.
A trace of disappointment appeared in Bai Haoran's eyes; it seemed that he would not have to act, as Gu Jian would be enough to deal with that Emperor.
The Elder from the Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group also looked quite disappointed; he had never thought that this Emperor would fall at a disadvantage against an attack from Gu Jian. However, he was the destined person, so he was still esteemed within the Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group.
The main reason for this was because Zhao Fu only had Stage 9 Cultivation, while Gu Jian had long since stepped into the Saint Realm; the difference in their cultivations was not just a bit.
The major figures were also slightly surprised; they had been quite excited to see this battle, but the Emperor was evidently incapable of fighting against Gu Jian.
After being blasted backwards, Zhao Fu's body was covered by the river of swords, and he was continuously attacked by the massive sword qi. The sword qi continuously tore at Zhao Fu's body, making him feel immense pain.
"Arghhh!" Zhao Fu loudly roared as he released all of the power from his Sovereign bloodline. He felt as if his blood was burning, and countless traces of Emperor's aura flowed out, covering the surrounding 1,000 meters.
"Roar! Roar! Roar..." Nine dragon's roars sounded out as a sovereign might weighed down on everyone's bodies, causing them to feel as if their bodies and minds were sinking. Countless people knelt on the ground as they were affected by this Emperor's aura.
Even Bai Haoran and Yin Ruoshi's expressions fell as they felt a power forcing them to kneel. Even the major figures on the viewing platforms felt this, but because their cultivations were too high, they could easily quash this pressure.
Zhao Fu very rarely released the full power of his bloodline; those below the Sovereign bloodline would all be affected.
The Emperor's aura that seemed to be able to cause anything to submit clashed with the river of swords and did not show any weakness at all. Massive gales blew out, and the arena continuously cracked; by now, no one dared to remain around the arena.
Seeing that there was no way of breaking through this Emperor's aura, Gu Jian's gaze became serious as he flew into the sky with the river of swords, which spun around him. The river of swords formed an enormous sword qi vortex, stirring the heavens and earth.
The world seemed to gradually darken as a massive gale blew and lightning flashed. An apocalyptic aura descended, causing people's souls to tremble.
Under this world-destroying sword qi, even Zhao Fu's body slightly trembled. He felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, and the Killing Sword Intent that had been suppressed within his body started to lose control.
A blood-colored sword mark suddenly appeared on Zhao Fu's forehead, and the sword pupils in his eyes shot out a trace of blood-red sword qi towards Gu Jian.
Chapter 1168: Nether Yin Dynasty
Gu Jian's hairs stood on end, and his hands and feet went cold as he sensed this unimaginable danger. He tried to use his sword qi vortex to defend, but the boundless sword qi was instantly dispersed by that trace of blood-red sword qi.
As that blood-red sword qi shot into Gu Jian's body, his body trembled and blood flowed out of his seven orifices. He fell from the air to the ground. No one knew if he was dead or alive.
Before anyone could work out what had happened, the battle had concluded, leaving everyone incredibly confused.
They had just seen a trace of sword qi shoot out of Zhao Fu's eyes, after which everything had concluded. Just what sort of attack was that? Gu Jian had fallen without being able to resist at all.
However, things were not so simple. After falling to the ground, Gu Jian's aura was incredibly weak as if he could die at any moment. The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master hurried down and checked over Gu Jian's injuries before saying with an ugly expression, "Sword Intent Corrosion!"
The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master pointed at Gu Jian's forehead, sending white motes of sword light into Gu Jian's body. Gu Jian's wounds gradually stabilized, and the Sect Master let out a sigh of relief.
He then turned to Zhao Fu and said angrily, "This Emperor, don't you think you went too far? You used such domineering sword intent to corrode Gu Jian; you know that would destroy Gu Jian's sword intent and cause him to become a cripple or even die!"
Zhao Fu did not know how to reply. Facing that immense sword qi, the Killing Sword Intent had instinctively reacted. This Killing Sword Intent not only went out of control when facing massive sword intent and killing intent. It had almost gone out of control when he had faced Leng Shang, but he had suppressed it.
Because of the waves caused by the Emperor Killing Sword World, Zhao Fu naturally could not explain this.
Seeing that Zhao Fu was not saying anything, the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master took this as Zhao Fu backing down and did not pursue the matter. Even though he had some suspicions about Zhao Fu's identity, he had that terrifying Sovereign bloodline, and if he were to fight him, he would definitely be injured.
The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master picked up Gu Jian and flew back to the viewing platform to start giving Gu Jian treatment.
Only then did everyone realize what had happened; Gu Jian had been corroded by Zhao Fu's sword intent, but Gu Jian was the number one genius in the Path of the Sword in the Ancient Stem Domain. The sword intent that he had comprehended was an extremely terrifying sword intent.
However, he had been corroded by Zhao Fu's sword intent; what did that mean? It meant that Zhao Fu controlled an even more powerful sword intent. Didn't this mean that Zhao Fu was also a Sword Cultivator? After all, no ordinary person could have such monstrous sword intent.
They did not know that Zhao Fu actually was not a Sword Cultivator; it was just that the Killing Sword Intent had fused into his bloodline.
Zhao Fu immediately became unfathomable again, and everyone wondered if this Emperor still had not revealed his true strength. He had been hiding his strength much too well.
Moreover, that sword intent was enough to make such a powerful sword genius like Gu Jian completely defenseless; how could ordinary people win?
Was this the Emperor's true strength? He was strong enough to make people feel terror, and everyone acknowledged that they had underestimated this Emperor.
Yin Ruoshi looked slightly shocked; when that trace of sword qi had shot out, her body had immediately frozen and she had felt a wave of terror. As expected of an Emperor; Yin Ruoshi was utterly convinced now.
The Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group's Elder silently cursed at himself for having the blurred vision of an old person almost underestimating Zhao Fu's power. The stronger Zhao Fu was, the better it would be for the Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group.
The major figures on the viewing platform all sank into their own thoughts. All of them felt a sense of threat from that trace of sword qi, and it seemed slightly familiar as well.
Zhao Fu could not help but start to feel anxious because he had accidentally used the Killing Sword Intent's power. If things went poorly, his identity as the Killing Sword Master could be exposed.
"Emperor, I also want to fight with you," a voice sounded out - it was Bai Haoran.
The people in surroundings started talking among themselves, "Bao Haoran's also going to fight? Does he have the confidence to win against that terrifying Emperor?"
"Bai Haoran is the number one genius in our Ancient Stem Domain; if he doesn't fight, who else can fight? Only he can defeat that Emperor and bring back some face for the Ancient Stem Domain."
"I think that it'll be risky; Gu Jian was completely defenseless against that attack just then, so who knows that other power this Emperor is hiding?"
"Our Ancient Stem Domain is such a big place, yet no one can force out that Emperor's true strength? Isn't that too laughable?"
Zhao Fu looked at Bai Haoran who walked up onto the arena and suddenly thought of something. As such, he nodded and agreed to his challenge.
Bai Haoran courteously cupped his hands before his expression became serious.
Boom!
A five-colored aura flame appeared around Bai Haoran as massive gales continuously blew outwards. All energy in the heavens and earth seemed to gather towards Bai Haoran - facing the unfathomable Zhao Fu, Bai Haoran did not hesitate to immediately unleash his full power.
Bai Haoran's eyes had become five-colored, and his aura rose to its peak, causing the space around him to be distorted.
"Heavens and Earth!" Bai Haoran lightly cried out as a five-colored ring of light expanded out. Above the ring of light was a blue sky and white clouds, and below it was lush green grass and trees.
This was like a world-creating ability; Bai Haoran had created his own world, which he was going to use against Zhao Fu.
In front of this boundless power, everyone felt complete acknowledgement. Bai Haoran was a peerless genius in their hearts, the most talented member of the younger generation in the Ancient Stem Domain. Of course, they did not know that Zhao Fu was from the Ancient Stem Domain too.
Everyone held their breaths and focused as they watched the arena, not wanting to miss this shocking battle.
Boom!
Facing the five-colored ring of light that was spreading out towards him, Zhao Fu unleashed a massive flood of ghostly qi that defended against the five-colored ring of light.
Sensing this incredibly ferocious aura, the major figures on the viewing platform started to look quite serious and shocked.
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang...
Six clanging sounds rang out as six figures giving off terrifying auras appeared around Zhao Fu, causing the atmosphere to become incredibly heavy and filled with an eerie coldness. Those six figures were the Six Paths Demon Images.
After their suspicions were confirmed, the major figures on the viewing platforms looked incredibly shocked. They found that Zhao Fu could actually use the Six Paths Demon Images' power - they were supreme existences in the Underworld, and they were even more terrifying than higher-beings.
This Emperor could actually use their power; his identity far exceeded anything they had expected. The major figures on the viewing platform could not help but feel anxious because this matter now related to the supreme existences of the Underworld.
The King of the Nether Yin Dynasty understood why Zhao Fu could use ghost-type skills and why the ghosts he summoned were so strong. Moreover, the aura from Zhao Fu's body seemed quite familiar and gave him a trace of pressure; it was possible that it was an Emperor bloodline from the Death Race.
This was Zhao Fu's aim, using another power to distract everyone and cover the matter with the Killing Sword Intent. He planned to quickly conclude this battle and leave this place as soon as possible.
Chapter 1169: Ancient Sword Sect Master
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Zhao Fu controlled the Six Paths Demon Images to ferociously attack Bai Haoran. Even though these Six Paths Demon Images were only ten meters tall, their attacks were quite powerful.
The World Domain unleashed by Bai Haoran was almost instantly destroyed by the Six Paths Demon Images.
Seeing this, everyone could not help but inwardly sigh; it seemed that Bai Haoran was going to lose. Perhaps there was no one in the Ancient Stem Domain who was a match for this Emperor.
However, losing to such a powerful Emperor was nothing shameful, and those who lost could take pride in their loss. Now, everyone could not help but feel that Zhao Fu was indeed someone who existed above the Ancient Stem Rankings.
Boom!
The Animal Demon Image blasted open Bai Haoran's World Domain with a punch containing terrifying power, and the other Demon Images started to attack Bai Haoran. In the end, Bai Haoran was defeated without being able to put up much of a fight.
Everyone was not too surprised; they had long since expected this.
Some people suddenly thought of one person in the Ancient Stem Domain who could contend with this Emperor, who was Bai Shengtian, the person who had been taken as an apprentice by a higher-being. He definitely would not be any weaker than this Emperor; he was a one in a thousand years genius, or else he would not have been chosen by a higher-being.
Moreover, after being taken as a disciple by a higher-being, his status would not be inferior to this Emperor, and he would not have to fear an Empire.
Everyone now wanted to see a battle between those two people; this would be the most legendary battle in the Ancient Stem Domain. After all, both people's statuses, aptitude, and power were simply extraordinary.
After winning, Zhao Fu's position rose to number one on the Ancient Stem Rankings, giving off a brilliant light. At the same time, Zhao Fu felt a massive amount of Fate being added to him.
Bai Haoran crawled up from the ground and wiped away the blood at his lips. He was quite convinced as he cupped his hands and said to Zhao Fu, "Thank you for being lenient!"
Zhao Fu courteously returned the gesture. Of course, Zhao Fu could not heavily wound Bai Haoran - the Dao Cultivation Sect was the most powerful Sect in the Ancient Stem Domain, so who would dare to offend them? If Zhao Fu was a true Emperor, he would not have to worry, but he was not.
With the Dao Cultivation Path's power, it could completely obliterate Great Qin without any problems.
After emerging as the victor, Zhao Fu felt quite pleased as he went to collect his rewards. Zhao Fu had mainly fought for the rewards, and each of them was quite useful to him. Zhao Fu was quite thick-skinned as he took the rewards for the top ten places, and he just left behind some Spirit Crystals and medicinal pills as a gesture.
This caused everyone to feel quite speechless, inwardly marveling at how shameless and thick-skinned the Emperor was.
However, his strength and status were evident, so they naturally could not say anything. Moreover, those who had lost their rewards did not care about the rewards that much, and to be able to offer them to an expert like Zhao Fu was quite good as well.
Now, Zhao Fu was undoubtedly the most eye-catching figure in the Ancient Stem Domain; whether it was his status or power, everyone now acknowledged him.
After taking the rewards, Zhao Fu planned to leave. After all, he had been worried about the Killing Sword Intent he had unintentionally released earlier. As such, it would be best to leave as soon as possible.
"Arghhhhhh..." A cry suddenly rang out and everyone looked towards the viewing platforms, where the cry had come from.
Gu Jian's body gave off a blood-red light, and his face was twisted in pain as he felt as if his body was being torn apart by countless swords. The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master next to him looked extremely worried; he found that he could not suppress that berserk sword intent.
Just what kind of sword intent was this? Even with his cultivation and comprehension of the Path of the Sword, he could not suppress it.
Seeing his most beloved disciple in such pain, the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master started to panic. He hurriedly tried all sorts of methods to try to suppress that Sword Intent Corrosion.
Shing! Shing! Shing...
Swords flew out from within the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master's body and floated around Gu Jian, giving off intense sword lights before slowly fusing into Gu Jian's body.
Kill! Kill! Kill...
Within Gu Jian's mind, the blood-red sword qi also gave off an intense blood-red light and corroded Gu Jian's soul. The sword light from outside surrounded this blood-red sword qi, trying to get rid of it.
However, the blood-red sword qi was extremely resilient, and the attacks of the sword light from outside were like cotton, completely useless. Instead, the sword light from outside was assimilated by the blood-red sword qi.
This was sword intent that was enough to kill gods. Even though it was only a slight trace, it was not something that an ordinary person could deal with.
Zhao Fu felt that the situation was quite grim, and he turned into a ray of light as he flew over the horizon.
The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master felt immense anger and heartache, and he wanted to chase after Zhao Fu for hurting his beloved disciple like this.
Shing!
The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master flicked his wrist, causing a white sword light containing immense power to instantly shoot out. It flashed through the air and was about to hit the escaping Zhao Fu.
In that moment, Zhao Fu felt a massive sense of danger. He immediately unleashed his defenses, wanting to block this attack.
Bang!
A massive sound rang out as Zhao Fu was blasted flying by that sword light, crashing 100 meters away and coughing up a large mouthful of blood.
All of the spectators were completely dumbfounded, they never thought that the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master would suddenly attack Zhao Fu.
The major figures on the viewing platform were also quite confused, and they looked towards the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master. They did not understand why he had attacked; with his cultivation and status, why would he bully a member of the younger generation
The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master's expression was cold as he icily gazed at Zhao Fu. He had seen Zhao Fu trying to escape, and because the situation was quite dire, he had chosen to attack.
However, he did not regret this because Zhao Fu had hurt his beloved disciple like this. Because of that blood-red sword qi, Gu Jian might go crazy and become a monster that only knew how to kill. If that happened, Gu Jian's life would be over, and all of his pain-staking efforts over the years would be wasted.
"Hmph! This Sect Master doesn't care if you're some Emperor; I'm going to teach you a lesson today. If anything happens to Gu Jian, This Sect Master won't spare your life!"
From the abnormalities on the Ancient Stem Rankings and from the way Zhao Fu acted, it was possible that he was not a true Emperor.
Emperors could cause countless people to feel fear because they wielded terrifying power and an Empire stood behind them.
An Empire had to devour 1,000 worlds, which was almost the entirety of the Ancient Stem Domain. The might of an Empire was not something a small Domain could compare to.
Zhao Fu endured the pain as he got up, looking at the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master with fury. He felt immense humiliation, but he endured it; with his current strength, he was not a match for him.
All that Zhao Fu wanted to do right now was to leave this place and repay the favour ten times over in the future. If he died here, everything would be over.
The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master gazed at Zhao Fu vehemently, feeling a trace of hatred. There was now enmity between the two of them, and this would mean more problems in the future. The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master could not help but think about the blood that ran in Zhao Fu's body and the fact that he had reached the top of the Ancient Stem Rankings.
Chapter 1170: Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group Elder
If this person was not killed, he would definitely become a great danger in the future. Thinking about that, the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master's eyes danced with a trace of killing intent. However, he was wary of Zhao Fu's Sovereign bloodline; if he killed Zhao Fu, that Empire would definitely destroy the Ancient Sword Sect.
Even though Zhao Fu only had a Sovereign bloodline, what if he really was the Emperor of an Empire? If it wasn't for his Sovereign bloodline, the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master would not have held back just then and would have immediately killed Zhao Fu without any hesitation.
After seeing this scene, the ordinary people did not even dare to breathe loudly, and of course, they could not stand up for Zhao Fu. Even though there were often injuries or deaths in fights, for Zhao Fu to injure Gu Jian like that, the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master teaching him a lesson was understandable.
However, the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master relying on his powerful cultivation to bully Zhao Fu, someone from the younger generation, was quite shameless.
Regardless, the Ancient Sword Sect was the number two Sect in the Ancient Stem Domain and was the number three faction; with such strength, who dared to say anything?
The major figures on the viewing platforms merely frowned and did not plan to do anything. After all, Zhao Fu was not one of them, so why would they interfere?
This was the disadvantage of not having a faction to rely on; no matter how talented someone was, without a faction supporting them, anyone could bully them as they wished.
The expression of the Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group's Elder was quite unsightly. Zhao Fu was extremely important to their Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group, yet he was being treated like this. The situation was quite bad, and he immediately sent people back to report.
He then smiled and walked over and cupped his hands as he said, "The Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group will give its all to help Gu Jian recover; please cease your anger, Sect Master. This is the Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group's VIP, so we hope that Sect Master will not pursue this matter."
The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master's expression was cold as he directly ignored the Elder and considered whether or not he should kill Zhao Fu.
"Arghhh!" An extremely pained and wretched howl sounded out as Gu Jian violently twisted on the ground and blood poured out of his seven orifices.
The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master hardened his heart and pointed towards Zhao Fu.
Boom!
A massive sword light tore through the sky, bringing with it a massive sword wind as it flew towards Zhao Fu.
Seeing that the Ancient Sword Sect had decided to kill Zhao Fu, the people in the surroundings hurriedly retreated to get away from Zhao Fu in order to avoid being caught up.
Zhao Fu roared; because of his fights with the various geniuses, he had used up a lot of his strength. He could barely use the Six Paths Demon Images' power right now.
Boom!
Six massive gray orbs of ghostly qi appeared around Zhao Fu as the Six Paths Demon Images appeared. They each stretched out a hand, and the Six Paths Defensive Barrier appeared.
Bang!
A massive sound exploded out as the sword light smashed against the Six Paths Defensive Barrier like a bolt of lightning. The Six Paths Defensive Barrier instantly shattered, and Zhao Fu used the Six paths Demon Images to block in front of him. However, he was still unable to fully stop the sword light.
Zhao Fu was once again blasted flying and rolled a few times on the ground before stopping. His clothes had been torn to shreds by the sword qi, and there were long and thin gashes on his body, from which red blood flowed out.
Now, everyone saw Zhao Fu's appearance; that handsome face, noble and overbearing aura, and those strange eyes.
"Who would have thought that this Emperor would be so handsome; I like," Jiu Xiaoyun said in a daze as she stared at Zhao Fu.
Next to her, Qing Murou lightly harrumphed, "You vixen, he's going to be killed and yet you're saying such things; are you going into heat again? If you want him to live, you can ask your Kingdom to act."
Jiu Xiaoyun rolled her eyes and said somewhat condescendingly "Little girl, you haven't matured yet, so it's only natural that you don't have good taste in men. However, it's impossible for me to save him because there's no reason to offend the Ancient Sword Sect just for him."
Bai Haoran could not help but look to his master on the viewing platform. The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master was going to kill the number one genius on the Ancient Stem Rankings, and this would not look too good.
If that happened, who would still dare to participate in the Ancient Stem Banquet? If the number one placed person was killed, the Ancient Stem Domain's reputation would take a big blow, and it would become a laughingstock to the other Domains.
However, now that the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master had acted and Zhao Fu could barely resist, Bai Haoran naturally could do nothing and could only look to his master.
Only the Sect Master of the Dao Cultivation Sect could suppress an expert like the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master; no ordinary person would be able to do such a thing.
However, the Dao Cultivation Sect's Sect Master did not show any intention of getting involved. He had seen the sword qi shot out from Zhao Fu's eyes, as well as the blood-red light shining from Gu Jian's body. He had fallen into his thoughts as if he was waiting for something.
Seeing this, the major figures on the viewing platforms did not show any intention of getting involved. In fact, some people hoped that the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master would kill Zhao Fu as soon as possible because Zhao Fu's potential was simply too great and he was not one of them. It was best to get rid of such a person as soon as possible, or else he might become a threat to them.
Some people felt that this was quite a pity, as Zhao Fu was an exceptional genius, yet he was going to fall in such a place.
Blood continuously leaked out of Zhao Fu's lips, and he struggled to get up from the ground.
The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master coldly harrumphed; Zhao Fu's potential was immense and Zhao Fu might surpass him in the future. However, before he had developed, he was just like livestock that he could kill at any moment.
Shing!
The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master swiped out with his finger, and a sharp sword flew out, shining with an incredibly sharp sword light as it circled around him. An immense sword intent spread out, causing everyone to feel as if they had fallen into an abyss, and their bodies instinctively trembled.
The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master was preparing a fatal blow, wanting to kill Zhao Fu right here. Under this blow, Zhao Fu barely had any chances of surviving.
However, just as the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master was about to attack, a massive saber image containing ferocious saber qi chopped towards him. It was an attack from the Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group's Elder.
Zhao Fu was someone that the Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group greatly valued, and it was them who had invited him to the Ancient Stem Banquet. Moreover, Zhao Fu was an Elder in the Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group and was one of them. Seeing that the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master had decided to kill Zhao Fu, the Elder had to act.
Facing the incoming saber image, the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master was quite disdainful and waved his finger towards that Elder. The sword floating around him spun and shot towards that Elder.
Swish!
A sharp sword light flashed out soundlessly and incredibly quickly. The saber image was instantly crushed, and the Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group's Elder's body froze before collapsing into countless bits of flesh.
Even though this Elder had Saint Realm Cultivation, in front of the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master, he was nothing. The Earth Realm was on a completely different level to the Saint Realm.
Firstly, the difficulty of reaching the Earth Realm was dozens of times more difficult than reaching the Saint Realm, and it took much more time; some people would not reach that stage in their entire life. This was a gap in strength that could not be made up for, and it was like comparing a lion to a rabbit.
Chapter 1171: Bronze Sword
"Arghhh!" Zhao Fu glared at the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master as he furiously roared. He had been chatting with that Elder this whole time and their relationship had been quite good. However, that Elder had now died because of him, causing Zhao Fu to feel incredibly angry.
Boom!
A heaven-shaking aura exploded out, sending out an intense gale. Zhao Fu did not hold anything back and unleashed his Nation Armament's power.
The people in the surroundings looked terrified as they retreated because this power was simply too great. It was something that they could not endure, and the intense wind could cause some people to be blown away like pebbles.
The light dimmed and clouds quickly swirled as a massive aura covered the entire scene.
This was not the Nation Armament of an Empire, and seeing this, many people let out a sigh of relief. With the power of an Empire's Nation Armament, it was possible to blast apart even the sky, and those who were here would be doomed.
Shing! Shing! Shing...
Sword hums tore through the sky as Zhao Fu spread out his hands and twelve massive bronze swords appeared around him, giving off a dazzling bronze light. They contained an incredibly dense aura of killing and conquering.
Boom!
Zhao Fu pushed out with both hands, causing the twelve bronze swords to fly towards the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master with terrifying power; the power they contained seemed to be able to twist space itself.
Facing the terrifying 12 bronze swords, the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master condescendingly laughed and grabbed at the air, and a shining sword appeared in his hand.
Boom!
The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master vigorously slashed out, causing a massive white crescent to tear through the air. It contained shocking power as it blasted back the incoming bronze swords.
"You want to harm This Sect Master with a Nation Armament like that? What a joke." After speaking, the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master once again slashed out.
Boom!
The sword light turned into a massive white bird that spread its wings and gave off a terrifying and sharp aura as it charged towards Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu quickly dodged to the side, and the massive white bird landed where he had just been. An enormous explosion blasted out, causing a sharp sword wind to spread out, and Zhao Fu was sent flying.
A gigantic crater that was 100 meters deep and 1,000 meters wide opened up in the ground, causing countless people to retreat in fear in order to not to be caught up.
Within the crater, Zhao Fu coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and looked at the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master in the air. His expression was quite unsightly; how was this person so terrifying? Even relying on his Nation Armament was not enough.
The people on the stage had all retreated to the outer boundaries. Looking at Zhao Fu within the crater, Bing Qixue shook his head and sighed; he was completely powerless, as the people from his Kingdom were not willing to help either.
From the Nation Armament that Zhao Fu had just used, it was likely that he was not the Emperor of an Empire. After all, that Nation Armament's aura had completely fused with Zhao Fu's aura.
This meant that Zhao Fu was only an early stage King; only an early stage King could have such perfect fusion with his Nation Armament.
Since Zhao Fu was not a true Emperor, everyone's worries disappeared; killing Zhao Fu would just be like killing an ant. That was why the Ice Origin Kingdom did not bother acting, or else there was a chance they could have stepped in to save Zhao Fu.
Huo Yan felt quite anxious and went to where his Sect was, trying to convince them to save Zhao Fu, or else he would lose a strong opponent. Even though he knew that he was not a match for Zhao Fu at all, he could not bear to see a genius like him fall here.
However, the people from his Sect ignored him, saying, "This person will be too dangerous in the future; it's best for us to not get involved. Whether he lives or dies, it's unrelated to us. Even if he takes revenge in the future, he won't take revenge against us."
Since his Sect was not willing to help, there was nothing else that Huo Yan could do; he could only watch as Zhao Fu was going to be killed.
The King of the Nether Yin Dynasty, a cold-looking middle-aged man stared at Zhao Fu closely as he thought to himself. There was Zhao Fu's Death Race Emperor bloodline, as well as the Six Paths Demon Images.
The Bear Mountain Kingdom's Third Prince had returned to his father's side and said some things, but the King did not say anything.
Yin Ruoshi also returned to where her Sect was, a look of pity in her eyes. This person could have become famous in hundreds of Domains, causing her to sigh. Facing the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master's attacks, he was dead without a doubt, and no one would be able to save him.
She had talked with her Sect Master to give her opinion, but the Heavenly Music Sect's Sect Master did not say anything.
Bai Haoran silently stood beside his master. Even though he was not sure why his master was not doing anything, he definitely had his own reasons, so Bai Haoran could not say anything and silently watched.
At the same time, he felt quite sad that Zhao Fu was doomed to die. He had thought that perhaps his big brother could defeat Zhao Fu, but there would not be this opportunity in the future.
Shing!
A massive sword hum sounded out as the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master once again attacked. He raised his sword and slashed down, releasing an enormous white sword arc that was 1,000 meters tall, giving off shocking sounds.
Facing such a powerful attack, Zhao Fu could not block and could only dodge.
Boom!!
The terrifying white sword arc easily cut open a 10,000 meter long sword gash on the stage, and even though Zhao Fu had dodged the main attack, the sword qi released from it still sent him flying. He crashed into the side of a crater, causing it to crack, before he fell to the bottom of the crater.
The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master came above the crater looked at Zhao Fu lying at the bottom. He said condescendingly, "Your future was limitless, but you're going to die here today. You can only blame yourself for injuring This Sect Master's disciple."
He once again raised his sword, preparing to deal the final blow to Zhao Fu.
"Arghhhh!!" A roar shook the surroundings. Under this immense threat of death, Zhao Fu did not hold anything back anymore. No matter if it was his Nation Armament's power, the Six Paths Demon Images' power or his Sovereign bloodline's power, he released all of it.
In the distance, countless traces of Fate gathered towards the Great Qin City, and an ocean of Fate poured into the Nation Armament.
Boom!
Within the crater, a massive black flame shot into the sky, causing the sun and moon to dim, and a shocking energy spread out, causing everyone's faces to fall.
The power from this Nation Armament was enough to rival an entire world's power, and it could contend against experts of their level.
Shing! Shing! Shing...
Massive sword hums sounded out within the crater, and a powerful bronze light shone through the black flames. The twelve massive bronze swords contained terrifying power as they shot towards the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master.
