"It must be the people from the Execution Sect who saw through the Dragon Puppet!"

Cao Dongjun said, "It's alright. I can activate the dragon puppet two miles ahead. They don't have any Core Formation cultivators, so they can't stop us!"

"Then hurry up!!"

"Watch out—"

As they were talking, a magnificent pagoda, towering high and reaching the sky, descended from the heavens, crashing down on their heads with the force of Mount Tai.

They each unleashed their natal magical weapons, simultaneously unleashing a full-force attack on the pagoda.

"Boom!!!"

With a muffled thud, the exquisite pagoda flew backward, revealing two figures hidden behind it: a man in a white robe and a man in a green robe standing side by side.

The one in white robes, holding a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, with raging flames burning in his seven orifices, hovered beneath auspicious seven-colored clouds, appearing both god and demon.

This attire is exactly the same as the description on the wanted poster. Who else could it be but the mortal Emperor Tianwu, Chen Lei?!

"Okay."

Cao Dongjun sneered: "So it was you, brat, who was behind this whole thing, colluding with the Zhuxian Sect. What, you want the Xirang too?"

"Heh, this mortal emperor."

Zhao Xun sneered, "Given the current situation, shouldn't you be going to the main peak of the Great Swamp to find that Shou Zhongzi and try to protect your tortoise shell? Even if you manage to get the Breath Soil here, do you even have the life to use it?!"

"Hand over the Breath Soil honestly, and I will give you a chance to submit to the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

"Da Song?"

Chen Sanshi retorted, "What kind of imperial court is this?"

Zhao Xun was taken aback: "What did you say?"

"I say, what kind of dynasty is the Song Dynasty?"

Chen Sanshi said expressionlessly, "When you first established your country, you were just a puppet chosen by the Heavenly Sect Master to help with miscellaneous affairs. At most, you are equivalent to a second-rate sect. What makes you think you have the right to tell me to join the Song court?"

"On the contrary, our Han Dynasty has just been established and needs some manpower. Why don't you, the Song Dynasty, bring your entire country to surrender? You will not lose the title of marquis in the future. But if you wait any longer, you will only face the destruction of your country and your clan."

"Arrogant kid!"

Zhao Xun was struck on a sore spot by the word "puppet" and flew into a rage, saying, "Where do you get such a tone from, a mere mortal court!"

"He's deliberately stalling for time, don't waste your breath on him!"

Cao Dongjun noticed something amiss and wasted no time. His body swelled up two sizes, transforming into a blue-faced, fanged creature resembling a dragon. He wielded a broad, serrated, crimson sword, leaving afterimages in his wake as he charged straight at the white-robed man.

Jiang Shang, the city lord of Ronghua City, followed closely behind, wielding a Hunyuan Golden Blade that resembled a majestic mountain, and cleaved down towards the opponent's head.

Just as the Eighth Prince Zhao Xun was about to make a move, a sword stabbed towards his face.

"Zhao Laoba, your opponent is me!"

"Shangguan Siheng, why are you everywhere!"

The two engaged in a fierce battle.

On the other side, Chen Sanshi hovered motionless in the air until the blood-red broadsword was only a few feet away from him. Then, he suddenly thrust out his spear, which crossed with the sword's edge, changing its direction of attack and thrusting it straight at the opponent's throat.

In an instant, Cao Dongjun felt as if he were in a furnace, and hurriedly retreated to barely avoid the spear's edge.

Jiang Shang's Hunyuan Golden Blade was firmly blocked by the Longyuan Sword, making it impossible for it to move even half an inch further.

Ten thousand swords descend from the heavens!

Just as Cao Dongjun was about to make a comeback, he saw dense sword energy surge out from behind the white-robed man, condensing into a giant sword more than ten feet long above his head, which smashed straight down towards his crown chakra, forcing him to use magic to block it.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Sanshi repelled Jiang Shang, and then, carrying the blazing fire, rushed straight at Cao Dongjun, who let out a beast-like roar and chose to meet him head-on.

Jiang Shang, who was not far away, rushed back and joined forces with the Seven Kill Hall Master to attack from both sides. The three of them were caught in a melee, and thunderous roars echoed continuously beneath the auspicious seven-colored clouds.

Cao Dongjun and Jiang Shang, one at the peak of True Power and the other at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, were both helpless against the white-robed figure in front of them even when they joined forces.

The opponent wielded a spear and a longsword, and his martial arts were flawless, exuding an aggressive aura. If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation level was slightly higher, the two of them would probably be no match for him!

"This guy……"

Cao Dongjun was somewhat taken aback.

More than ten years ago, he remembered that this guy was only a martial artist in the middle stage of True Strength. Now, he can easily deal with two cultivators with the combat power of the late stage of Foundation Establishment!

I reckon he cultivates both martial arts and immortality, and in martial arts he's at least at the late stage of True Power, while in immortality he should be at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment!

Judging from this speed, the opponent probably has a superior or even heavenly spiritual root, and their talent in martial arts is also top-notch.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, a few more decades will be more than enough time for him to reach the Core Formation stage!

Is it possible...

Could a Golden Core cultivator really emerge from that barren land?

Once a Core Formation cultivator emerges, it will be troublesome for the Eastern Continent to deal with them.

"The Heaven-Burning Breathing Technique?!"

During the fight, Cao Dongjun gradually realized that his meridians were being eroded by the flames and his true energy was being consumed at an extremely fast rate. He quickly guessed the source of his opponent's martial arts.

If they keep fighting like this, they'll probably be killed by those who cross the border!

at the same time.

The auspicious seven-colored light in the sky suddenly began to shrink, and all the auspicious signs moved away towards the due south, becoming increasingly faint.

"Oh no! Someone is trying to escape with the Heavenly Soil!"

Cao Dongjun grew agitated: "Lord Jiang, don't waste any more time with this guy. Things have already escalated. The most urgent thing is to activate the Dragon Puppet and then obtain the Breath Soil!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Shang shouted, "Leave this to me!"

"Damn it!"

Cao Dongjun tried to escape several times, but as soon as he had the slightest thought of retreating, the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear, wreathed in flames, would appear in front of his face.

He made a snap decision, pulled out a blood-red talisman, activated it, and immediately a skull opened its blood-red maw toward the white-robed man.

Talisman!

It was forged from the magical artifact "Blood Demon Bone"!

Chen Sanshi had no intention of confronting the talisman head-on. He flashed away and retreated more than ten feet away.

Cao Dongjun seized the opportunity and left.

On the battlefield, only Jiang Shang remained.

Most of the magical power within his dantian had already been burned away. Knowing he was no match for Cao Dongjun, he also made a hand seal to try and retreat after seeing Cao Dongjun leave successfully.

"Where to go?!"

Chen Sanshi drew his bow and nocked an arrow. The bowstring was tethered to the "Devouring Cicada," which carried immense true power and transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards the city lord's back.

"The Dharma-eating Cicada?!"

Jiang Shang was familiar with Qiu Yan and naturally knew how powerful the Devouring Cicada that the other had cultivated was. He never imagined that this guy would use it as an "arrow".

and……

No matter how he tried to dodge, he couldn't get away!

The biggest weakness of the Devouring Cicada is its difficulty in getting close to enemies, but this weakness has been completely compensated for at this moment.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several Devouring Cicadas exploded, and Jiang Shang staggered backward while summoning magical artifacts to block them.

At the same time, Chen Sanshi attacked again. The blazing fire on the surface of the Longyuan Sword transformed into an even more ferocious and violent beast fire. With a flash of his sword, he severed the opponent's head.

More than a hundred feet away.

Zhao Xun realized something was wrong. After exchanging blows with Shangguan Siheng, he summoned his mount, Zouwu, and fled into the distance.

"There's no need to chase after them."

Chen Sanshi came to his side.

Their purpose here was simply to buy time.

This is enough time to complete the original plan.

But he had more important things to do.

"Pass on the order!"

"Send troops to Tianshui!"
