The five great sacred lands directly contacted Katada Shuichiro.
This time, accompanying Katada Shuichiro, they intended to jointly kill Chen Jiuyang and share the spoils.
However, each harbored their own intentions, which was why when Chen Jiuyang struck and killed Matsushita Mizutsugu, neither of them made a move, preferring to watch from the sidelines.
Now, Katada Shuichiro took the initiative to ask Sakurai Tenyunkawa and James Ruden to attack.
A smile then appeared on the faces of these two:
"Katada-kun, if you had spoken earlier, Matsushita-kun would not have died."
"Oh, Mr. Katada, you should have spoken sooner, then I could have saved your subordinate."
Katada Shuichiro knew their thoughts all too well. His face turned ashen as he said, "It's alright. If we kill Chen Jiuyang now, the benefits we gain will cover our losses."
The world powers were coveting the resources of the newly revived Dragon Country, such as spirit stones and medicinal herbs.
But what they desired even more were immortal cultivation techniques. Earth had numerous cultivation systems, but only the Dragon Country's immortal path system offered longevity and the hope of eternal life. They had dispatched many people to explore and develop ruins and grotto-heavens with Dragon Country nationals. However, non-Dragon Country nationals were unable to enter the ruins and grotto-heavens belonging to the ancestors of Dragon Country, thwarting their plans. Moreover, more cultivation techniques were held by aristocratic families and sects.
Now that the five great sacred lands had made their declaration, who wouldn't be tempted?
Sakurai Tenyunkawa slowly drew his sword from his waist, unleashing the aura of a supreme Venerable Realm powerhouse.
Meanwhile, James Ruden was enveloped in crackling lightning, resembling a thunder god.
Chen Jiuyang narrowed his eyes slightly: "The power emanating from James Ruden's body faintly carries the aura of a demon bloodline." He had harbored suspicions before, believing that the superpower system of the Lighthouse Country involved extracting the bloodline talents of demonic beasts and fusing them into the human body, thereby granting humans abilities akin to demonic beasts and developing various different superpowers.
"Attack!"
Katada Shuichiro roared, his long saber erupting with starlight. He moved with lightning speed, slashing towards Chen Jiuyang.
Attack!
It was a killing blow!
The sonic and air waves sent the airport's load-bearing pillars flying.
Overwhelming blade energy obscured Chen Jiuyang's vision, surging towards him.
Chen Jiuyang intended to retreat.
"Rumble!!!"
Lightning flashed, a terrifying thunderstorm sealing Chen Jiuyang's escape route. James Ruden had made his move.
Sakurai Tenyunkawa was brewing sword energy, waiting for Chen Jiuyang to reveal an opening when he attacked, intending to seize the opportunity to kill Chen Jiuyang.
Chen Jiuyang stood his ground, intending to face three absolute Venerable Realm powerhouses simultaneously.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
As if war drums were beating, the blood and qi in Chen Jiuyang's twelve great acupoints surged. His blood boiled and roared. Without hesitation, Chen Jiuyang unleashed his full power in an instant.
"Zhurong! Chi You!"
Crimson, blue, and gold colors erupted from his body, fueling his vast and terrifying power and awakening the dormant battle intent within him.
He spread his arms, generating swirling airflow and protective energy, and seven phantom arms appeared.
"Heavenly Will Four Symbols!"
The phantom of Chi You's seven arms slammed into the torrent of blade energy attacking Katada Shuichiro. One arm wielded a spear and was fiercely hurled towards the lightning-filled area released by James Ruden.
Simultaneously, his two real hands, accompanied by phantom great bows, drew them taut like full moons. The sword, arrow, and saber formed by the phantom of the seven arms were nocked onto the bows and shot towards the direction of Katada Shuichiro, Sakurai Tenyunkawa, and James Ruden.
In an instant, he fully unleashed his magnificent power, erupting with martial arts techniques in a flash.
Not only to break their moves, but to kill them!
"Instantly unleashing five moves?!"
"This is a divine martial art technique, what astonishing power!!!"
The three were immediately startled. They also instantly unleashed their full power to counter Chen Jiuyang's swift attacks.
"Rumble!!!"
The next moment, earth-shattering waves of energy swept out in all directions. The airport was instantly reduced to ruins.
The snowstorms transformed into thick white smoke, and the battlefield was shrouded in dense white mist.
"Swish!!"
The three figures retreated from the dense fog, occupying different directions, their expressions utterly solemn.
The three of them, as supreme experts, facing Chen Jiuyang alone, had tested each other's strength with a single exchange. Within that one move, Chen Jiuyang had forced them back.
Their hearts sank.
If they were to kill Chen Jiuyang here today, they would likely have to pay a considerable price.
Then, the next moment.
"Heavenly Will Four Symbols – Arrow!"
"Spring Thunder!"
"Summer Wind!"
"Winter Rain!"
Three light arrows of different colors – red, gold, and blue – suddenly shot out from the dense fog!
"Such divine techniques can be continuously unleashed, and the moves are different!"
Katada Shuichiro, Sakurai Tenyunkawa, and James Ruden's pupils contracted violently. The battle situation had completely reversed. Chen Jiuyang, with his own strength, was suppressing the three of them.
This was the power of the current number one peerless prodigy of the Dragon Country, the Sect Master of the True Demon Sect!
As they prepared to counter this move, Chen Jiuyang's indifferent voice suddenly rang out again:
"Primordial Dao – Shatter Kunlun!"
At this moment, the heavens and earth erupted with golden and crimson Daoist rhyme and law power, streams of light endless, as if to shake the sky, yet he unleashed a seemingly ordinary saber strike.
Vast amounts of dust vanished the instant this saber strike was unleashed.
"This saber strike!"
The martial intent, which seemed to crush Kunlun and was almost tangible, manifested between heaven and earth with this saber strike, causing Katada Shuichiro, Sakurai Tenyunkawa, and James Ruden's expressions to change instantly.
"If this saber strike hits, they will be severely injured, if not killed!"
"But if they withstand this saber strike and are hit by the Heavenly Will Four Symbols arrow, they will at most sustain moderate injuries."
"Chen Jiuyang stands at the pinnacle of unity between man and nature, and the peak of the way of the sword. His moves are unavoidable. If he retreats, it will leave a shadow, causing his Dao heart to collapse."
In a flash, the three made their decision.
"Armor of the Thunder Emperor!"
"Water Severance, Sky Shatter!"
"Ama-no-kagami!"
"Chii chii chii!"
Chen Jiuyang's Heavenly Will Four Symbols arrow instantly hit the three, causing them to vomit blood. They then unleashed their defensive moves, intending to resist Chen Jiuyang's Shatter Kunlun.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
The majestic power, accompanied by Chen Jiuyang's martial intent, struck them from the sky down to the ground, creating a large pit.
They were not Chen Jiuyang. To unleash terrifying techniques, their martial intent and power had to reach their peak, and they had to be in a state of unity between man and nature. They could not, like Chen Jiuyang, act as they pleased and unleash several moves in an instant.
I apologize, the gap between people is this vast.
"Pfft—"
All three spat out blood simultaneously, their eyes filled with venom as they gazed at the figure standing in the sky.
However, that figure's indifferent voice rang out: "I thought you were much stronger, daring to ambush me here."
"I also had high expectations for you, but you couldn't even withstand three of my moves."
"The so-called number one sword master of the Eastern Sun, the Imperial Grand Emperor, S-class ability user?"
"Nothing more than that."
"What's the difference between you and trash?"
