Chapter 39: Betrayal Never Existed!
In Dragon City Pass, some people have already perished at the hands of the Demon Race.
But some still fight.
East City Wall.
"These madmen." The Vermilion Bird Sovereign fixed his gaze on the Northern Rainbow Sword shooting towards him, gritting his teeth.
The strength of the Bright Moon Formation had just been mobilized by the White Tiger Sovereign to fend off the lethal blow from the Taoist Master Li Xing.
And the Northern Rainbow Sword Master seized this instant when the power of the Bright Moon Formation couldn't immediately return, launching his deadly sword strike.
Thus, at this moment, the Vermilion Bird Sovereign had nothing external to rely on.
He could only rely on himself to block the deadly sword strike from the Northern Rainbow Sword Master.
"Do you think you are the Chang'an Sword Immortal?" The Vermilion Bird Sovereign calmed his anger, his eyes gleaming, speaking coldly.
He was a cultivator of the Honorable Realm.
The Northern Rainbow Sword Master was merely of the Eighth Realm.
It's not unheard of for a sword cultivator of the Eighth Realm to slay one in the Honorable Realm.
But that sword cultivator was called Li Qiubai.
In the world, there is only one Li Qiubai.
Therefore, the Northern Rainbow Sword Master's strike could absolutely not kill him!
The Vermilion Bird Sovereign was infinitely confident.
Boom!
The Northern Rainbow Sword, like a meteor, came crashing forward.
"Well done!" The Vermilion Bird Sovereign stood there, shouting long, his body enlarging, reaching a thousand feet into the clouds, causing even the moon in the sky to sway.
Hiss!
The next moment, fiery patterns flashed across the Vermilion Bird Sovereign's body, accompanied by a piercing sparrow chirp.
Then, he also opened his mouth to roar, spraying a blazing light into the air which transformed into a divine bird, colliding with the flying sword ahead.
At the same time, the Vermilion Bird Sovereign's figure was extraordinarily agile, fierce, transforming into a Vermilion Bird, carrying endless flames forward.
"Ancient Fierce Technique · Vermilion Bird Technique!"
Li Xing Taoist Master murmured.
This is a divine skill only a pure-blooded Vermilion Bird can perform.
However, when beast cultivators reach a certain level, they can harness the connection with their beast pets, collaborating with their pets to evolve various ferocious beast treasures using a human race form.
This becomes the most important source of combat power for beast cultivators in high realms.
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird Sovereign was entirely fiery red, his aura terrifying, his physical body like red jade, emitting a crystalline treasure light, yet a strong, domineering aura emanated.
Boom!
The Vermilion Bird Sovereign's arms spread, like fiery wings, slashing forward, behind him appeared a flaming Vermilion Bird, burning all over, immense and boundless, covering the sky.
The originally black night was completely illuminated by the dazzling red light from the Vermilion Bird.
Only a wrong name, not a wrong title exists.
This is the Vermilion Bird Sovereign.
Vermilion Bird cries long.
Northern Rainbow chirps loud.
Finally, they touched.
This was a shocking collision, the entire void trembled as if it were about to crumble.
The rainbow light formed by the Northern Rainbow Sword struck the divine bird formed by the red light.
A loud crash emanated from the divine bird, enduring immense pressure, but in a moment could no longer withstand the sharpness of the Northern Rainbow Sword, shattering, collapsing directly.
The rainbow light continued forward, flashing swiftly towards those winglike arms.
The Vermilion Bird Sovereign strode like a dragon, with tiger steps, without retreating, his entire body blazing, winglike arms slashing at the Northern Rainbow Sword.
The instant the two collided, they emitted a startling clanging sound.
Bang!
One brilliant like a meteor, one blazing red like blood, collided fiercely, reverberating booms echoing back and forth like divine drums thundering, penetrating downward through the realms.
The Vermilion Bird Sovereign's eyes shone brightly, as if about to release flames, his body burning even more, Vermilion Bird flame fluttering intensely, as if to incinerate the Nine Heavens.
This was a human-shaped Vermilion Bird battling, confronting a three-foot Green Peak.
Even a true Vermilion Bird at this time would never compare to the Vermilion Bird Sovereign, absolutely not so formidable.
The Northern Rainbow Sword moved forward continuously, finally striking his chest.
The Vermilion Bird Sovereign suffered a heavy blow, flying horizontally, vomiting blood.
All sorts of omens vanished completely.
At this time, the Vermilion Bird Sovereign reverted to his original form, wounded and unclear.
But regardless, the rainbow light of the Northern Rainbow Sword had already become incredibly dim, revealing the sword body within, trembling weakly.
The Vermilion Bird Sovereign successfully blocked the Northern Rainbow Sword Master's deadly strike.
"I already said you're not Li Qiubai." The Vermilion Bird Sovereign, disregarding his wounds as he flew backward, looked at the Northern Rainbow Sword Master whose life force was quickly dwindling, mocking.
After sacrificing all his life force to perform this deadly strike, how could the Northern Rainbow Sword Master survive?
"I am not the Chang'an Sword Immortal..." The Northern Rainbow Sword Master suddenly opened his eyes, softly spoke: "But, you are not the Qing King either."
And it was at this moment.
A bit of starlight began to shimmer from the already dim Northern Rainbow Sword body, then suddenly blossomed.
Endless starlight flourished at this time, the brilliance even more beautiful than the moon wheel raised by the Bright Moon Formation.
At this moment, the five cultivators of the Honorable Realm — Li Xing Taoist Master, Nine Lotus Spirit Venerable, Vermilion Bird Sovereign, Xuanwu Sovereign, and White Tiger Sovereign — widened their eyes, watching the starlight bloom.
The old force of the Northern Rainbow Sword had passed, releasing a second force.
This power came from the life force of the Northern Rainbow Sword Master.
The Northern Rainbow Sword Master had hidden his life force within the Northern Rainbow Sword, only now did it erupt.
Indeed, the deadly strike that the Vermilion Bird Sovereign thought from the Northern Rainbow Sword Master was merely the pinnacle strike unleashed using his lifetime sword dao mastery.
Now, this strike is the true deadly strike.
