Chapter 126: Tit for Tat!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In front of the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm, a large phenomena steamed into the sky.

The sky was already filled with black and white colors. The two colors resisted each other, causing violent winds to wreak havoc. Especially from the black and white, an extremely monstrous aura kept erupting.

Below, on the left, was the green-robed Eighth Peak Master of the Empyrean Sword Sect, Luo Qifeng.

At this moment, Luo Qifeng’s eyes were burning, and his aura was surging. He kept rushing into the sky and staring fixedly at a middle-aged man in front of him.

Xu Qingshan!

Not only was the elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect second only to the Sect Master, but he was also a top Emperor Realm expert whose name resounded throughout the Southern Region.

He had once faced three Emperor Realm experts alone. Not only was he not at a disadvantage, but he had even severely injured the two of them and left confidently.

His Heavenly Creation Technique was cultivated to perfection.

However, even Xu Qingshan, who had such a proud record, went all out at this moment. His entire body emitted a terrifying aura, and his rough square face was filled with gloom. Coupled with the rising aura, his green and purple robe kept rustling.

“Luo Qifeng! Shen Ran will definitely die in the mystic realm today!”

Xu Qingshan looked at Luo Qifeng and said fiercely.

Hearing this, Xu Qingshan shrugged disapprovingly. “There are many people who want to kill Shen Ran. That little bastard Gu Shujue is far from enough!” 1

The two of them opposed each other with every word they spoke. As they spoke, their auras kept rising.

This tense scene was naturally seen by everyone around.

The Beast Taming Mountain, the Zhao family, and some itinerant cultivators looked at the two of them with different expressions.

“These two are both top experts. If they fight, it will be difficult to determine the outcome.”

“That Luo Qifeng is the Peak Master of the Eighth Peak of the Empyrean Sword Sect. His cultivation is unfathomable, so his chances of winning are higher.”

“Xu Qingshan is also not weak. His Heavenly Creation Technique has reached perfection. Even an Emperor Realm expert will find it difficult to gain an advantage against him.”

“In my opinion, the two of them won’t start a war for the time being. I’m afraid they’ll have to wait until the door to the mystic realm opens.”

“That’s right! The moment the mystic realm opens, the party who steps out first will definitely be overjoyed. On the other hand, the other party will fight. After all, no one will let a monster go back.”

“….”

Everyone started to make guesses about the confrontation between Luo Qifeng and Xu Qingshan.

Although they were both optimistic about the strength of the two of them, everyone knew that if the two of them really fought, it would be a bloody storm that could even cause the situation in the Southern Region to change.

As everyone was watching and discussing, Xu Qingshan’s expression changed as he stared fiercely at Luo Qifeng.

It was mainly because Xu Qingshan realized that he was inferior to the other party in terms of words and aura, which made him even angrier.

And this was when he had absolute confidence in Gu Shujue.

Immediately, Xu Qingshan did not hide it anymore. The dark expression on his face also turned into a cold smile.

“It’s come to this point. There’s no harm in telling you.”

“To be honest, your Empyrean Sword Sect’s Shen Ran’s Zenith Heaven Dao Seed will definitely not be able to take half a step out of the mystic realm today.”

“If I were you, I would have gone back to prepare the coffin.”

As soon as Xu Qingshan finished speaking, he said confidently, “My young master was a prodigy in his previous life. He even killed an eighth level Illumination Realm cultivator and obtained the sect master’s true teachings. It can even be said that the current young master is invincible above the Illumination Realm.”

“As for your Empyrean Sword Sect’s Shen Ran, he’s only at the fifth level of the Illumination Realm. He’s probably already turned into a pool of blood.”

Hearing Xu Qingshan’s words, Luo Qifeng shook his head and smiled.

Xu Qingshan had absolute confidence in Gu Shujue, and Wu Qingfeng was extremely confident in Shen Ran.

Faced with Xu Qingshan’s confident words, Luo Qifeng sneered and said, “Yes, yes, yes. Your young master is really powerful. He should be qualified to carry Shen Ran’s shoes.” 1

“You-”

Initially, Xu Qingshan wanted to see Luo Qifeng’s shocked expression, but this reply immediately made Xu Qingshan furious.

“Hmph! I’ll let you be smug for a while longer.”

“Let me tell you, Young Master brought a king-level Dharma treasure with him to the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm this time.”

“No matter how strong Shen Ran is, can he be stronger than a king-level artifact?”

As soon as he said that, Luo Qifeng’s eyes suddenly narrowed and his heart stopped. However, he still retorted, “Hmph, so what if that little rascal Gu Shujue has a king-level Dharma treasure? Trash is trash!”

Although Luo Qifeng retorted with words, everyone sensed that his tone was not as sharp as before.

At this moment, Luo Qifeng was secretly shocked. He even felt that the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect were doomed.

After all, that was a king-level Dharma treasure. Not to mention Shen Ran, who was at the Illumination Realm, even he himself was not confident that he could break it.

Moreover, the Empyrean Sword Sect had destroyed the pawn planted by the Heavenly Demon Sect in the past, causing the Heavenly Demon Sect to suffer heavy losses.

This time, the Heavenly Demon Sect would definitely attack the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect for revenge.

While Luo Qifeng was thinking, the elders and itinerant cultivators who were watching from afar widened their eyes in disbelief when they heard what Xu Qingshan said.

“This Heavenly Demon Sect is really generous. They actually gave Gu Shujue a king-level Dharma treasure. It seems that they have made complete preparations for this mystic realm.”

“Gu Shujue is already very strong. Now that he has a king-level Dharma treasure, Gu Shujue will definitely sweep through everyone in the mystic realm.”

“That Empyrean Sword Sect’s Dao Seed is probably going to die today.”

“Doesn’t this mean that Gu Shujue will definitely obtain the Heavenly Flame? In that case, the strength of the Heavenly Demon Sect will increase by another level.” 1

“…..”

Everyone exclaimed. No one expected the Heavenly Demon Sect to give Gu Shujue a king-level Dharma treasure.

This kind of thing was a top-notch treasure in a sect. It could even be said to be the sect’s ultimate treasure. But now, it was given to Gu Shujue.

They also thought that Gu Shujue, who had a king-level Dharma treasure, would be invincible.

“Hahaha, Young Master must obtain the Heavenly Flame today! The forces of the Southern Region will also be reshuffled today!”

Xu Qingshan laughed confidently and looked at Luo Qifeng with a cold smile. He was determined to win.

While Xu Qingshan was laughing, Luo Qifeng was worried, as well as the elders of the Beast Taming Mountain and the other three races.

Suddenly, “Rumble!” a roar sounded at the entrance of the Fallen Phoenix Hill.

The loud bang drew everyone’s attention instantly.

The reason was that this was a sign that the door to the mystic realm had opened!
