Chapter 1406: As Expected 02
Pfft!!!
Long Tian was sent flying backward by a single palm strike, spraying a mist of blood from his mouth.
The terrifying cultivation power blasted him away like a cannonball, smashing through several magical jade walls before he landed in the ruins, barely clinging to life.
Defeated in the blink of an eye, Long Tian still struggled to get up, but his injuries were too severe. He could only pant heavily, using his hands to prop himself up from the ground, his eyes wide open.
In his line of sight.
The few white-haired figures standing quietly in the distance had become somewhat blurry, but their imposing auras were even more terrifying. The sight filled his eyes with fear, and cold sweat constantly seeped from his forehead.
Just a few glances made Long Tian's breathing increasingly difficult.
Huff, huff...
With a slight probe, he realized that his meridians and divine soul had been severely damaged, causing a wave of panic and shock in his heart.
This palm strike was truly incredibly heavy!
He barely even saw the attack before he was beaten into a state of total defenselessness. The gap in their strength was simply unimaginable!
Among human cultivators, how could there be such powerful existences...
Just what was their background?
They had no prior enmity, yet the other party used a decisive killing move right upon meeting. Their actions were truly overbearing; even the many tycoons of the Demon Race might not be this ruthless.
Just why had he provoked these mysterious and ferocious human monsters?
Could it be that his identity was truly exposed?
Various doubts and fears surged into his mind, and Long Tian's eyes flickered constantly.
In his vision.
Those terrifying figures had started to walk forward, pushing horizontally like mountains. Their bodies exuded a pressure that nearly suffocated him. No matter how many schemes he had in his heart, none of them were of any use at this moment.
An unprecedented sense of powerlessness suddenly erupted in his heart.
Swish, swish...
The footsteps were still approaching, falling like the drumbeats of the Grim Reaper.
Long Tian was so terrified that his throat bobbed continuously. He finally realized that in the face of absolute power, all schemes were just floating clouds. The pride he once held as a genius of the Demon Race was shattered into pieces at this moment.
At this very moment, Long Tian actually felt incredibly insignificant!
Seeing that death was imminent.
He hastily used all his strength to scramble backward, but it felt as if all the cultivation had been drained from his body. He couldn't move a single inch!
His panic worsened.
Long Tian had lost his ability to think, his face as pale as paper. He could only subconsciously tremble and cry out for help!
Save...
Help me!
Even as his trembling voice rang out, the white-haired old monsters never stopped their advance.
Witnessing Long Tian's ugly display, the expressions of the several ancient tycoons became even more indifferent, a flash of disdain in their eyes as if looking at a bug.
Mere demons, indeed, from ancient times until now, they have always been disgusting.
The more miserably he cried out now, the more thoroughly his hypocritical mask would be torn off, allowing the ignorant younger generation of Cloud Star to see the truth, and conveniently establishing prestige for them, the ancient seniors.
Today, they wanted to see just how much weight the high-ranking officials currently in charge of Cloud Star really held!
The figures stood quietly with their hands behind their backs, watching Long Tian roar like they were fishing. Their eyes revealed a calm and collected look, every movement filled with the confidence of controlling the world.
Sure enough.
They had confidently waited for no more than a few breaths when four figures suddenly blocked their path!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Looking at the Star God Guards standing in front of him, a faint glimmer of hope actually appeared in Long Tian's eyes, but his expression became somewhat complex, unable to tell if it was joy or sorrow.
At this moment, he seemed a bit unable to distinguish between true and false, as if he really were the Lord of Cloud Star.
Whether he was too deep into his role or it was a hallucination playing tricks on him.
Long Tian actually placed all his hopes on the Star God Guards and, driven by some inexplicable urge, shouted out!
Quick! Quick, repel these villains and save this Star Lord!
His choking voice echoed around the ruins, indescribably miserable and urgent.
However.
The ancient tycoons standing quietly with their hands behind their backs had long since stopped taking Long Tian seriously. The battle was decided with a single palm strike; he was just demon scum as expected, and naturally, they turned a deaf ear to such a voice.
Even the appearance of the Star God Guards did not surprise them.
Although these people were only avatars, they still possessed enough strength to instantly see through the cultivation realms of the four great Divine Guards, a look of sighing flashing through their eyes.
Are you the high-ranking figures behind Cloud Star today?
Merely at the early stage of the Desolate Heaven Realm?
You have a bit of cultivation, but you are still just slightly larger ants. Cloud Star has indeed fallen; it is far from being comparable to its former glory.
...
These few words leaked a domineering aura, and supreme might continuously radiated outward.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a fierce wind whipped up in the ruined Star Lord's Mansion. Within a hundred miles, no ordinary person could stand. Long Tian, who was already heavily injured, was knocked unconscious on the spot!
The expressions of the four Star God Guards also grew considerably solemn, but in their hearts, they were beating drums of uncertainty.
High-ranking figures behind the scenes?
Cloud Star fallen?
These old men who suddenly popped out indeed had some cultivation, comparable to the auntie buying groceries next door.
But.
Why did they seem out of their minds, spouting pure nonsense as soon as they opened their mouths...
The four brothers were completely dumbfounded, momentarily not knowing how to respond.
They were just pig butchers following the Star Lord, simply trying to make a living on Shadow Island. Over the years, they hadn't amounted to anything. If they hadn't followed orders earlier, who would have come running over to pretend to be some Divine Guards and act in a play?
Out of nowhere, how did they become high-ranking figures?
If this word got back to Shadow Island, they would be laughed at until their faces turned red with shame.
How embarrassing!
While the few of them stood there in a daze, the opposing white-haired old men had already spoken domineeringly, their bodies erupting with the aura of superiors, their tone leaving no room for doubt!
Forget it.
It is quite rare for you juniors to have some cultivation. Considering that we are all of the Human Race, this seat will generously offer you a piece of advice. This Star Lord is absolutely not of our Human Race. If you turn over a new leaf, follow us to rule Cloud Star, and kill this boy, it can be considered making up for your mistakes!
Otherwise, there is only one path to death!
As soon as these words were spoken, a look of realization appeared in the eyes of the four brothers.
So...
These old men also knew that Long Tian was of the Demon Race, and they even wanted them to kill Long Tian. Wasn't this just crashing the party?
The play wasn't over yet, how could the main character die!
It was one thing to cause trouble, but they actually dared to talk about ruling Cloud Star?
They really dared to dream!
This group of old men who had never seen the world were confident beyond compare.
The Star God Guards all rolled their eyes simultaneously and immediately shouted coldly on the spot!
Such arrogant words!
How dare you slander the Lord of our Cloud Star! Your sins are monstrous and absolutely unforgivable!
Even though their cultivation might not match the opponents, they charged forward without the slightest fear. Whether it was their acting skills or their imposing auras, both reached a recent peak!
The four of them each unleashed their cultivation. Someone formed hand seals, someone activated the rope at their waist, and someone formed claws with their hands, all launching fierce attacks together!
Great Grappling Technique!
Take my Unsolvable Dead Knot!
Watch out for my Salty Pig Hand!
...
Bizarre and eccentric moves came one after another, their vulgar names unbearable to hear. At a glance, they looked like a bunch of demons and monsters, causing the faces of the old monsters to turn black!
What kind of nonsense is this!
The dignified younger generation of Cloud Star didn't even have a decent martial skill?!
Truly difficult to achieve greatness!
The high-ranking officials currently in charge of Cloud Star are just like this?
Jiang Yuan, who was at the head, darkened his expression, slightly closed his eyes, and said no more.
Compared to him, the old man on the left clearly had a bit more coldness in his eyes. Without much thought, he used his peripheral vision to urge his fellow Daoists to attack!
Everyone.
"Since these mediocre fools do not know the immensity of heaven and earth, we shall use them to establish our dominance first. Then, we will execute that demon scum and announce it to the world to serve as a warning to all living beings!"
A deep voice resounded.
The four phantoms simultaneously unleashed their cultivation bases. A terrifying desolate ancient power blotted out the sky and covered the earth, instantly engulfing a radius of thousands of miles. The might of their combined attack was so horrifying that within just a few breaths, it struck the Four Great Star God Guards to the ground!
Superiority was instantly clear.
The entire process was exactly as expected.
Looking at the ruins everywhere and the dust soaring into the sky, it seemed the Star God Guards amounted to nothing more than this. A look of arrogance appeared in the eyes of the four phantoms. With their hands clasped behind their backs, they pressed forward step by step, their bodies exuding a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering oppressive might.
Right at this moment.
A plump figure quietly appeared, standing directly between the two camps.
Swish...
With scruffy stubble, a greasy appearance, and a faint smile playing on his face, he wore coarse cloth garments tied with a hemp rope around his waist. No matter how one looked at him, he did not resemble a master in the slightest, yet he was able to appear completely soundlessly at such a critical juncture.
Anyone who witnessed this scene would find it bizarre.
Instantly.
The area fell dead silent, and a heavy, solemn atmosphere permeated the air!
The four phantoms halted their advance. A trace of seriousness entered their sizing gazes, and both their bearing and demeanor shifted slightly from before.
Several dozen feet behind them.
The ancient titan Jiang Yuan showed neither joy nor anger. He had been resting with his eyes closed for quite some time, allowing the rampant Dao power and billowing dust to completely bypass him, unable to soil his robes in the slightest. It was as if everything that had just occurred was mere child's play to him, entirely unworthy of his attention.
It was not until this moment.
This unfathomable ancient sage finally opened his eyes slowly. Lowering his gaze, he swept a look over Pork Rong's features, a confident smile flashing in the depths of his eyes.
"To appear only at the final moment, your state of mind is indeed extraordinary."
"Just as this seat expected, you are the true leader of the contemporary Cloud Star, are you not?"
