Chapter 203: Massacre [6th Update]
Bi Jie stood atop a bare hill, arms spread wide, laughing loudly, "What are you all waiting for? Why not join forces with me now, and together we shall slay the Bailing Demon Lord!"
"After eliminating a menace for the Human Clan, we shall then compete fairly for the Exotic People and the Sacred Body of Qiling!"
Zhao Yuxuan stood beside the hill, arms crossed over his chest, listening quietly.
He admired Bi Jie's decisiveness.
Although Bi Jie was somewhat frivolous and cruel, he had the bearing of an Emperor.
In contrast, Noble Prince Shangxie was too benevolent, and if he went to a certain kingdom or dynasty, he might rule wisely for a lifetime and bring prosperity to the people.
But not in the Holy Dynasty of Great Qin!
The ambition of the Emperor of Qin was to unite the world, and the Crown Prince controlled even the million-strong army under the Emperor's feet. In Zhao Yuxuan's view, Noble Prince Shangxie was not suitable.
He believed the Emperor of Qin had his own calculations.
Furthermore, with the rich reward offered by Bi Jie, he easily made his decision.
"Shangye, it seems we must part ways here."
Zhao Yuxuan looked towards Xiwan City, thoughtfully, and soon cast away the tinge of compassion in his heart.
In today's battle, he was determined to take the Bailing Demon Lord's head!
He did not know yet that the Bailing Demon Lord was an ally of Noble Prince Shangxie; he thought Noble Prince Shangxie had made an alliance with the Bailing Demon Lord during the Saint Competition.
This was normal, for Noble Prince Shangxie loved to make friends and was persuasive, far beyond what Bi Jie could match.
In this manner, one after another, contestants approached Bi Jie, some alone, others accompanied by one or two followers.
It had been six days since the start of the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition.
If they did not slay the Bailing Demon Lord now, they would have to set out in search of the Exotic People.
They were more concerned with the outcome of the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition than with the fame of the Bailing Demon Lord.
Meanwhile, Su Yie, Nan Xiaopao, Xiang Yu, Ling Sang, Ren Wolang, Tang Qingtian, Han Yuandao, Zhao Rulong, Luo Zhenhai, and others came upon the city walls, looking at the gathering of thousands of figures in the distance.
"Is the battle finally about to start? But with so many people..."
Tang Qingtian was so excited that his body trembled, and his neck seemed to be engorged, an intense red.
Ren Wolang, carrying a huge sword, chuckled, "Based on the time, my two brothers should also be arriving soon."
The Demon Soldiers on the city walls were extremely nervous; their Cultivation was too weak to withstand such a formidable pressure.
Among those thousands of figures, the weakest had reached the Astral Projection Realm, any one of whom could have swept through the Bailing Territory. How could the Demon Soldiers not be afraid?
"Are you confident?"
Nan Xiaopao asked Su Yie, who she had long hoped would take action, but Su Yie had been waiting.
Looking ahead, Su Yie said softly, "Wait for me to achieve a resounding victory."
He knew this battle was being watched by Xianyang, and he wanted to prove something to Xianyang.
Don't mess with him!
Soon, under the leadership of Bi Jie and Zhao Yuxuan, thousands of Cultivators and Demon Kings took to the sky, each wielding their Magic Artifacts and flying towards Xiwan City.
"Bailing Demon Lord, come out and face your death!"
"It's finally time for us to make a move!"
"There must be Exotic People hidden in this city!"
"Xianyang is watching, we can't lose face!"
"With Zhao Yuxuan here, and so many others, we will surely be able to slay the Bailing Demon Lord!"
While flying toward Xiwan City, the Cultivators and Demon Kings encouraged one another.
There were many contestants who had died at the hands of the Bailing Demon Lord, naturally instilling fear in them.
Tang Qingtian forcefully stepped on the city wall, pushing off with his right foot and drawing his sword to join the battle.
Ren Wolang quickly followed, with the two leading the charge.
Though a thousand adversaries lay before them,
They remained fearless.
"Tang Qingtian is here, meet your doom!"
"The one to kill you is called Ren Wolang!"
The laughter of Tang Qingtian and Ren Wolang echoed to the heavens, and soon they were slaying foes within the enemy ranks.
And with that, the great battle erupted!
Ren Wolang was unmatched in his ferociousness, each swing of his giant blade could send several people flying, supremely overbearing!
Tang Qingtian, however, was instantly ganged up on. Although he was in the Innate Dao Fruit Realm, his enemies were no less formidable.
If not for the fact that he was the Heir of the Nine Heavens Sword, a Sword Sect genius, he would have already been killed instantly by the numerous foes.
Zhao Yuxuan held a jade flute in his hand and began to play a bewitching tune, resounding through heaven and earth.
In an instant, Tang Qingtian's mind became muddled.
Ren Wolang was still fine, after all, his cultivation was profound.
Just as Tang Qingtian was about to be decapitated by a Demon King, a sound of breaking through the air was heard.
Sword light flashed!
It was the Zhou Wu Sword!
Spanning thousands of meters, it pierced through the Demon King's throat, the blade passing by Tang Qingtian's cheek, the sharp Sword Qi frightening Tang Qingtian into instant clarity.
"Tweet——"
The screech of the Golden Crow echoed across the land, drawing the attention of all cultivators and Demon Kings.
They saw a majestic firebird spreading its wings and approaching.
This scene sent the capital cities of Great Zhou, Great Xia, and Great Qin into a frenzy.
The people in Great Qin's Xianyang were relatively calm, having already seen Su Yie battle Lu Tianxing, but for the other two Holy Dynasties, this was their first time witnessing the Demon Lord transform into a Golden Crow.
The Golden Crow that Su Yie transformed into moved at an incredibly fast pace, frightening the cultivators and Demon Kings into scattering.
Mighty waves of fire swept across, forcing every person and demon to avoid its scorching heat.
"Bailing Demon Lord!"
Zhao Yuxuan, staring at Su Yie, excitedly muttered.
Then, a spike suddenly emerged from the jade flute in his hand, transforming into a long spear which he hurled fiercely at Su Yie.
Whoosh——
The jade spear ignited with an eerie green Blazing Flames and sped across the battlefield, seeking to kill Su Yie.
However, Su Yie simply used his wings to knock it down.
Su Yie turned around and saw that it was Zhao Yuxuan, a cold light burst from his eyes, and he immediately charged toward Zhao Yuxuan.
Facing Su Yie, Zhao Yuxuan truly felt the terrifying and fierce might of the one who was number one on the Heavenly Ranking List.
He didn't dare to be careless and quickly dodged.
Boom——
Suddenly, Ren Wolang slapped with a knife, hitting Zhao Yuxuan's chest with the flat of the blade, the strong force breaking his ribs and causing him to involuntarily spit a stream of blood, his body tumbling toward Su Yie.
Su Yie opened his mouth and spewed True Sunflame, the Sea of Fire engulfing Zhao Yuxuan, burning him to the point that his soul dissipated.
The second on the Heavenly Ranking List fell like that!
This scene made the scalps of the other contestants tingle.
Bi Jie was even more stupified, as if he had seen a ghost.
"How is it possible... Zhao Yuxuan just died like that?"
Bi Jie trembled all over, unable to accept the outcome.
The capital cities of the Three Great Holy Dynasties also erupted into astonishment.
As the former number one on the Heavenly Ranking List, Zhao Yuxuan's talent went without saying, and he would surely have become a top power of the Human Clan, yet he had died like this in the True Sunflame of the Bailing Demon Lord.
It really was somewhat shocking.
The battlefield changed in the blink of an eye, and there was no time for the other contestants to think too much. Ren Wolang flew high into the sky, hoisted his knife with both hands, and roared, "Scumbags! All of you, go to hell!"

With one knife slash down!
Terrifying Sword Qi swept across with the force of a typhoon, dozens of cultivators screamed as they were swept away, and within three breaths, they were torn into dust and scattered as if reduced to smoke by the Sword Qi.
Boom!
The ground was cleaved by the Sword Qi, and dust billowed like an erupting volcano, reaching a thousand meters high.
This one knife strike nearly scared the souls out of the other contestants, who quickly retreated in panic, distancing themselves from Ren Wolang.
"The Ren Wokuang of Emperor Su's Sect has arrived! Who dares to disturb my Brother Su!"
Just at that moment, a wild laugh came from the edge of the sky.
