The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1098: Chapter 1099: Defending to the Death

"Do you think you can stop me?"

Ang Tianxiao roared, the powerful oppression actually made the space solidify, and many people felt their breathing become somewhat rapid.

"Charge, all of you, attract the attacks of the Guardian Giants and let me charge in directly."

With Ang Tianxiao’s command, the thousand battle geniuses behind him immediately split into two groups, sweeping towards the Guardian Giants on both sides of the canyon.

Boom!

The four Guardian Giants saw the figures rushing towards them. Without moving or changing expression, they smashed down with bare fists. The terrifying attack crackled and shattered the void, roaring at the surging crowd.

Under one punch, dozens of figures were blasted away, turning into dissipated energy.

Seeing this, Ang Tianxiao transformed into a shadow and swept into the canyon, but a giant fist came smashing down, causing him to retreat again with a change of expression.

"Damn, these Guardian Giants prioritize attacking enemies closest to the canyon."

Ang Tianxiao muttered, then shouted loudly, "Some of you cover me, let me charge into the canyon."

In an instant, some of the battle geniuses attracting the Guardian Giants’ attacks began charging towards the canyon, and Ang Tianxiao utilized this gap, rushing inside. The four Guardian Giants had no time to attack Ang Tianxiao.

"Stop them quickly, give the Guardian Giants time!"

Tong Yao’s expression changed drastically upon seeing this, immediately commanding the battle geniuses to block Ang Tianxiao and others. As long as they could be stopped for a moment, the Guardian Giants would have time to attack Ang Tianxiao.

"You think you can stop me, overestimating yourselves!"

Ang Tianxiao said coldly, his eyes shaking, and two monstrous beams shot out again. With a slight sweep, all the battle geniuses before him turned into stone statues, and Ang Tianxiao landed at the mouth of the valley, beyond the Guardian Giants’ attack range.

"Hahaha, all of you retreat!"

Seeing his goal achieved, Ang Tianxiao laughed wildly. Those battle geniuses attracting firepower also hurried to retreat.

"A bunch of useless fools, thinking you could stop me with your power?"

Ang Tianxiao laughed coldly, slowly walked into the canyon, and immediately saw the giant crystal before him: "Hmph, Ye Mo, you want to contend with me? I will ensure you face elimination by the second month!"

As Ang Tianxiao spoke, he condenses a Longsword, just about to slash at the crystal, when he immediately sensed a dangerous aura attacking from behind, sending chills down his spine.

He immediately turned, swung fiercely!

Clang!

A metallic collision sound, like a morning bell and evening drum, echoed around as a black silhouette stabilized itself in midair.

"Is that you?"

Ang Tianxiao gazed at Lord Ying, his expression gradually turning somber. Before him was the only man with a Martial Dao Realm lower than his but who escaped his Pupil Skill.

"Hmph!"

Lord Ying sneered, instantly disappeared from his spot, holding a dagger, and assassinated Ang Tianxiao.

"An Archon of the Third Transformation of Wheel of Reincarnation, daring to stop me, utterly humiliating!"

Ang Tianxiao’s eyes widened with rage, shouted loudly, stretched his hand, and the surrounding airflow condensed in his palm, instantly forming a vortex.

The space around was distorted, stars exploding, making it impossible for Lord Ying to approach Ang Tianxiao.

"Shadow Kill Break!"

Confronted with this move, Lord Ying advanced instead of retreating, fiercely wielding his dagger, releasing countless shadow marks that surged like tides.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

The shadow surge rolled, violently breaking the space’s confinement, fiercely bombarding Ang Tianxiao’s body, but it didn’t harm him at all.

After all, Ang Tianxiao’s Martial Dao Realm was the Fourth Transformation of Wheel of Reincarnation, whereas Lord Ying’s was only the Third Transformation. There was a huge gap between them.

"Is this your strength?"

Ang Tianxiao couldn’t help but sneer: "Assassins are assassins; no matter how fast or skillful, your attack is your greatest flaw. If my Martial Dao Realm were the Third Transformation, I’d be no match for you."

"Shadow Extinguish Slash!"

Lord Ying’s expression remained unchanged, always calm, knowing that he alone could guard the crystal. He knew the chances of protecting the crystal weren’t great, but persisting even a moment longer could create opportunities.

He snorted softly, wielding his dagger, with countless powerful shadow blades criss-crossing, as if slicing a person’s spirit into pieces.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Ang Tianxiao sneered, his eyes emitting monstrous divine light, suddenly charging out, making the surrounding space and time halt, and a gray light flickered, enveloping the entire space.

This was a gray, misty space, especially Ang Tianxiao’s body, shrouded by the phantom of a beautiful woman with a snake tail.

This was his field, the Petrification Domain.

Entering the Petrification Domain, one was drawn into never-ending petrification. Even if they freed themselves, they’d be petrified again unless their Heart Force was far superior.

Feeling himself in Ang Tianxiao’s field, Lord Ying’s face darkened, suddenly activating another treasure.

"Shadow God’s Protection!"

Billowing shadows rushed from his body, roaring like endless war horses, enveloping his entire body, forming a circular black space that encapsulated him completely.

Sizzle, sizzle!

Gray beams shot fiercely towards the circular black space, unable to petrify it.

"What a fantastic Shadow God’s Protection, even my Petrification Domain can’t affect you. Stay there quietly!"

Ang Tianxiao sneered, his field expanding again, enveloping the crystal.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, from the black circular space, a black silhouette condensed and shot explosively towards Ang Tianxiao.

Die!

Ang Tianxiao turned, slashing with a sword, splitting the black silhouette in two, shattering the entire black space, and Lord Ying’s figure appeared, immediately petrified.

With a swing of Ang Tianxiao’s arm, the field vanished entirely, leaving only Ying Jun’s head unpetrified.

"With your strength, you could’ve been one of the 1,000 ringmasters, yet you chose to be a battle assistant. What a waste. Don’t think your elimination will end things peacefully. You’re from the Assassin’s Hall, right? I declare, the Assassin’s Hall is officially the first target of my Heavenly Clan’s pursuit."

Ang Tianxiao stated coldly.

"Without the Heavenly Clan, you’re nothing."

Lord Ying sneered.

"What did you say?"

Ang Tianxiao replied coldly.

"Compared to Ye Mo, you’re far inferior!"

Lord Ying taunted.

"Die!"

Ang Tianxiao shouted furiously, smashing a palm towards Lord Ying’s head.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a melodious hum, like a Rising Dragon Pillar, was heard as Lord Ying’s body flashed with black light, instantly disappearing from the spot.

"What happened?"

Ang Tianxiao exclaimed in surprise, a trace of shock in his eyes. Despite his current strength, someone still managed to vanish instantly beneath his gaze, an impossibility.

"Ang Tianxiao, I will ensure your death be rhythmic!"

Ye Mo’s chilling voice echoed throughout the canyon.
