NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1443: Forcing the Throne
"You want to be the Alliance Hierarch? No way!"
Fang Qingzhu looked at Tongtian with a face full of indifference.
The smile of pride on Tongtian's face suddenly froze, his eyes flickering, looking at Fang Qingzhu in disbelief.
He had thought that Xiao Yi was as good as dead, and Little Lin grievously wounded and unconscious.
Among the remaining strong ones in the Azure Sky Alliance, he was undoubtedly the number one.
It was precisely because of this.
That he had now harbored the idea of replacing.
In his view...
Fang Qingzhu already had no strong supporters, and with his unmatched strength in the Azure Sky Alliance, he believed that Fang Qingzhu and others absolutely would not dare to refuse him. After all, if even he were to leave the Azure Sky Alliance, in the face of the dual oppression from the Sun and Moon Palace and Mysterious Realm, who else could fight for the Azure Sky Alliance?
Tongtian squinted his eyes, not even bothering with basic courtesies: "Fang Qingzhu, I give face to Xiao Yi and call you Madam Hierarch. Do you really think the Azure Sky Alliance listens to you? To tell you the truth, if I leave, who in the Azure Sky Alliance can resist the Sun and Moon Palace and the Mysterious Realm?"
His gaze swept over the people like Fang Ru and others one by one.
Even though Fang Ru and others had improved their cultivation with the resources Xiao Yi left behind and the help of the Rebirth Pond in this period.
The strongest, Fang Tianchi, had only advanced from five thousand steps on the Great Dao to six thousand steps.
Yet Tongtian had risen to the realm of seven thousand nine hundred steps, in Xiao Yi and Little Lin's absence, he was the mightiest in the Azure Sky Alliance!
In the crowd.
Zi Feng leisurely said, "I also think that only Tongtian can lead the Azure Sky Alliance out of its plight. Madam Xiao, you should step down for the capable! Do not be stubbornly selfish, sacrificing the Azure Sky Alliance for your personal desire..."
"I think so too!"
"I also believe Tongtian is the most suitable candidate for the Hierarch..."
For the moment.
More than fifty percent of the strong spoke out.
Aside from Fang Qingzhu, Fang Ru, Fang Tianmiao, Fang Tianchi, Bai Fa Sword Emperor, and Ge Tianhuang, the rest were strong ones from the Purple Dragon Hall, Tongtian Sword Pavilion, and those who sought refuge from the Tianya Sea Pavilion.
They surprisingly all chose to pledge allegiance to Tongtian.
Tongtian craved the recognition: "As they say, those who recognize the times become elites, all who support me have the foresight to choose wisely, like birds choosing the best tree. Madam Xiao, I advise you to hand over the Azure Sky Alliance obediently! As long as you do, I assure everyone safety even against the Sun and Moon Palace and the Mysterious Realm."
"Nonsense!"
Bai Fa Sword Emperor coldly snorted, Sword Qi bursting around him, standing in front of Fang Qingzhu, "Tongtian old dog, you're forcing your way to the throne. If you want to make Madam Step Down, you'll have to step over my dead body!"
Fang Ru's expression was as dour as water: "You think you can bully my daughter?"
Fang Tianchi sighed, calmly saying: "If not for Xiao Hierarch, my Heavenly Machine Clan would have been destroyed by the Martial Clan. Though Xiao Hierarch is not here now, we cannot betray him, we swear to support Madam Xiao to the death!"
"Amitabha!"
The Past Buddha joined his palms together, the stately countenance, "I naturally stand on the side of Madam Xiao!"
Tongtian sneered at the crowd, filled with disdain: "Hahaha, do you think you can stop me? Let me tell you, your cultivation is vastly inferior! Even if Xiao Yi were to return, he wouldn't be my match!"
He was on the verge of stepping into the realm of eight thousand steps.
Even among those titled as kings, this was a high-level existence.
Moreover...
Tongtian had secretly been in contact with the Sun and Moon Palace and Mysterious Realm, as long as he could gain control of the Azure Sky Alliance, and ceased opposing those two giants, he could obtain even more resources.
With those resources, he could step into the nine thousand steps realm, potentially reaching the peak of king-level domain.
By then, the vast Qingtian Realm would definitely have a place for him!
Why fear Xiao Yi?
Tongtian walked forward step by step, energy waves rolling around him, terrifying power gathering around him.
His overwhelming aura transformed into a furious storm.
In the grand hall.
Filled with an icy killing intent.
Tongtian had completely locked his aura onto Fang Qingzhu, determined to overturn Xiao Yi's control over the Azure Sky Alliance today and seize command for himself.
"Do you dare?"
Fang Ru was the first to act.
Now that Xiao Yi was absent, as a father, he naturally had to be the first to step forward to protect Fang Qingzhu.
"Like an ant!"
Tongtian sneered.
A huge palm struck through the air.
Buzz!
Fang Ru let out a miserable cry, flying backward, blood spattering from his mouth.
Gasp!
The surrounding people gasped.
They never thought that dignified Fang Ru, with four thousand steps on the Great Dao, could not withstand even a single blow from Tongtian?
"Useless thing, daring to obstruct me?"
Tongtian sneered, eyes squinting into slits, exuding a chilling light, gazing at the serious-faced Buddha and Fang Tianchi. Among those present, the two of them were the strongest.
As long as he defeated the two.
He believed the others would surely not dare to stop him anymore.
"You two, come at me together!" Tongtian confidently said.
"You're too arrogant!"
"Since you're determined, then we shall cleanse the sect on behalf of Xiao Yi!"
The two exchanged a glance.
The next second.
They simultaneously appeared at Tongtian's sides.
Buddha's palm showed signs of a Buddhist Nation, universe within, once enveloped, it was like a toy in the hand.
Fang Tianchi's hand had a Compass hovering.
The Compass's needle spun rapidly.
Power of the universe gathered into inexplicable destiny.
Their offensive swift and ferocious, an unreserved deathblow.
However...
In face of their attack.
Tongtian sneered, without any evasion, he had to powerfully defeat the Azure Sky Alliance's two strongest. Only by doing so could he utterly crush the resistance spirit of Fang Qingzhu and others.
"One Sword Unites the Heavens!"
Tongtian roared in anger.
Around him, golden light surged, man like a sword, sword for the man.
Bang!
Terrifying Sword Intent swept in all directions.
Bang!
Bang!
The Compass shattered, massive backlash caused Fang Tianchi to scream, spraying blood from his ears at the same time. Meanwhile, a golden sword light similarly pierced Buddha's palm.
It burst through the Boundless Buddha Nation.
The Buddhist Nation crumbled.
Buddha suffered severe injuries.
The two flew back simultaneously, landing with blood uncontrollably spurting out.
Breaths weakened instantly.
"Who else?"
Tongtian squinted and said.
"You..."
Bai Fa Sword Emperor's expression was cold as water, drawing his sword to fight.
"Enough!"
Fang Qingzhu suddenly spoke, her face void of any expression, she was earnestly looking at Tongtian, "Do you really want this position as the Azure Sky Alliance Hierarch?"
Tongtian's eyes shone: "That's right, this Hierarch position, only I am most suited. Moreover, only I can protect the Azure Sky Alliance!"
