Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179: Co Out, Nangong Hong! Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179: Co Out, Nangong Hong! Huang Xiaolong strolled into the entrance of the Shushan sect with Bai Chan leisurely, completely unconcerned that it was a trap set for him, as if he was walking in his own backyard.
Two sword-carrying Shushan disciples, both in the Tribulation Crossing realm, led the way for Huang Xiaolong. Their gaze was cold and terrifying, mixing gloom and murderous intent as they looked at Huang Xiaolong as if he were the enemy who had killed their father and stolen their wife.
One of them even said through gritted teeth, “You are boundlessly arrogant, openly challenging our Shushan sect, repeatedly insulting us~~~Your arrogance won’t last long! Today, you shall be suppressed to death!”
“Hehe~~’Do not do unto others what you don’t want others to do unto you.’ Forget it, I can’t be bothered to talk to you,” Huang Xiaolong snickered, then shifted his gaze, taking in the beauty of Shushan at his leisure.
This place was indeed a sacred land of immortality, with white apes offering peaches of immortality, elk carrying lingzhi mushrooms, jade rabbits hopping on the grass, and cranes emitting long cries…
Green mountains and clear waters, birds chirping and flowers fragrancing the air.
In the sky, there were even rainbows arching like bridges, creating a magnificent spectacle.
Soon, Huang Xiaolong was led to the venue where the banquet was being held.
It was a vast garden with lush green grass, exquisite flowers and spiritual trees, tweeting spiritual birds, and butterflies flitting about gracefully.
In the garden, many seats were set up, occupied by renowned cultivators from the overseas worlds.
At this ti, when these overseas cultivators saw Huang Xiaolong arrive, they cast their gazes towards him.
Under the scrutiny of these sharp gazes, an average person would have instantly crumbled, but Huang Xiaolong was completely unfazed.
Within the gazes fixated on Huang Xiaolong, besides resentnt and hatred, the majority also contained a hint of fear.
Yes, Huang Xiaolong’s earlier display had directly slapped the face of the Shushan Sword sect, further deepening people’s understanding of his capabilities, making him seem even more mysterious and unpredictable.
At the head of this garden was a jade platform engraved with runes, emitting ethereal divine light.
Sitting on the jade platform was today’s birthday honorand, the contemporary Sect Master of the Shushan Sword sect, Ling Feng, along with the Elder Group, a bunch of old fogeys with mana as heavy as mountains.
These people were all watching Huang Xiaolong with chilly, predatory eyes.
Ling Feng sat motionless with a regal bearing, overlooking all under heaven from between his brows. However, his complexion was very unsightly, ashen.
It was strange that the Supre Elder of the Shushan sect who had appeared earlier and Nangong Hong were nowhere to be seen.
“Hehe~~” Huang Xiaolong just chuckled, “Is today supposed to be a happy occasion or a funeral? I see the folks from Shushan sect all wearing mourning faces, as if soone has died~hehe~~quite interesting.”
“You brat~ sit down for now. I will deal with you slowly,” Ling Feng said with a gaze so dark it seed water could be wrung from it, looking towards Huang Xiaolong. His murderous intent was barely concealed.
However, there was also a clear, confident dominance exuding from his eyes.
Yes, he was extrely confident that in this sure-win situation, Huang Xiaolong wouldn’t be able to escape with his life!
Huang Xiaolong nonchalantly found an empty seat, sat down, and crossed his legs with ease.
Bai Chan stood obediently behind him without uttering a word.
Cultivators sitting nearby hastily stood up and looked for other seats, obviously trying to distance themselves from Huang Xiaolong.
As a result, the area around where Huang Xiaolong sat quickly beca eerily deserted.
At that mont, Ling Feng stood up with a clear voice and said, “Today on the 800th birthday celebration of yours truly, I welco guests from all directions and thank you for honoring with your presence~~ thank you.”
Though he spoke humbly, his manner was very arrogant.
The whole place fell silent, everyone pricking up their ears to listen to Ling Feng speak, their faces showing utmost respect and not daring to show the slightest hint of disrespect.
“Ladies and gentlen, before the birthday feast begins, I do have so words to say,” Ling Feng’s eyes flashed as he swiftly moved on to the main point after the pleasantries, “I would like to invite Nangong Hong! My Shushan Sword sect, throughout history, has produced the strongest genius ever born—Nangong Hong!”
Ling Feng let out a sneer. “Perhaps, so may still rember the scene when Nangong Hong was defeated by that kid during the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition? Hehe~~ no matter, victory and defeat are common for warriors. We who cultivate spells should have open hearts, embracing all things, that is how one achieves greatness. Nangong Hong may have lost once, but this ti, he will reclaim his glory with his own hands! It’s absolutely impossible for him to lose consecutively twice to the sa person! Absolutely impossible!”
“Nangong Hong has grown trendously, a vast difference from the ti of the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition!” Ling Feng’s gaze finally settled on Huang Xiaolong. “You little brat, do you dare to fight Nangong Hong once more today?”
“Hahahaha~~~ Nangong Hong?” Huang Xiaolong burst into laughter. “You guys really are persistent. Oh well, let him co out. I’ll teach him how to be a human being.”
“Do not be arrogant!” Ling Feng roared furiously. “How can the dignity of my Shushan Sword sect be trampled over and over again by you?”
“Nangong Hong! Co out!!!!”
Boom~~!!!!
The sky tore apart!
A tall and majestic youth, dressed in black, walked out from the void!
Nangong Hong appeared! His chiseled features were striking, his figure towering like a deity, with a pair of eyes that could captivate countless beams of light—a born king. In any situation, he could beco the shining focal point of the entire place!
His aura had indeed undergone a heaven-shattering change since the ti of the Dragon Ranking. Not only had it grown more formidable, but also more sinister and bizarre. Standing tall with a straight spine, he was like a flying sword that could pierce the heavens, and even the re glint in the corner of his eye compelled people to kneel and worship earnestly.
What was even more brutal was that a blood-colored bat phantom erged, soaring up from above his head. The face of the bat phantom, however, was Nangong Hong’s own! An imnse demonic aura erupted, shaking the ancient world!
Everyone saw that Nangong Hong’s earthly manifestation had turned into an infinitely evil blood bat!
The breath of this blood bat was simply terrifying. Even the giants in the later stages of the earthly manifestation realm were feeling unsettled now.
“I understand now! Shushan has really invested heavily, integrating a supre artifact into Nangong Hong’s body, rging it with his divine soul! This is a defiance of the heavens!”
“Now, Nangong Hong’s combat power can definitely rival that of the giants in the later stages of the earthly manifestation realm! He could even kill the vast majority of them!”
“This aura is not weaker than Sect Master Ling Feng, right?”
“Too horrible! Nangong Hong, he’s not even thirty yet, right? And he’s already standing at the pinnacle of the world… His future achievents are unfathomable! It’s terrifying to even think about it! A freak of nature! No, that term doesn’t even begin to cover it!”
“The future leader of the overseas world is Nangong Hong; that much is already certain. It was bound to happen eventually, but Shushan has sped up the tiline. Shushan has really put a lot on the line~~”
…
The emotions of those present were extrely complex.
Nangong Hong’s dominant appearance left them no choice but to be shocked.
They all had a deep premonition that Ling Feng’s birthday feast was not as simple as it seed on the surface!
It seed the old wine drinker’s intent was not on the wine after all!
But even though they knew Shushan had so tricks up its sleeve, those present didn’t dare make a scene, for this was the Shushan Sect’s territory, and Nangong Hong had grown into a formidable force!
“Heh~~ How about that? Nangong Hong’s current montum, it’s befitting of a king, right?” Ling Feng boasted. “Yes, we have used external help, embedding the premium artifact, a demon sword that cuts through immortals and gods, into Nangong Hong’s body. However, this was no easy feat. It wouldn’t be possible without Nangong Hong’s exceptional talent. Ordinary people trying to rge with a flying sword artifact would explode! Now, Nangong Hong, if you have anything to say, just say it.”
“Alright, Sect Master.” Nangong Hong gave a cold smile, his gaze sweeping across the room. “You’ve all seen my current realm and montum. Today, as you all gather here, I, Nangong Hong, on behalf of Shushan Sword Sect, have an announcent to make.”
Silence fell.
The room held its breath.
Huang Xiaolong watched Nangong Hong with an amused look.
“From now on, other sects overseas no longer need to exist. All sects should unite under one. Subordinate to Shushan Sword Sect! There’s a saying, united we are strong; too many sects, and we’re just a scatter-brained mob, loose sand.” Nangong Hong spoke with authority. “Thus, let’s unite. All submit to Shushan Sword Sect, and then form branches. For example, Qingcheng Sect could be renad as a branch of Shushan Sword Sect.”
As these words were spoken, everyone was staggered.
Ling Feng and the elders of Shushan Sword Sect were all smiles, nodding continuously.
“You may feel discontent with this, but resentnt is futile. I, Nangong Hong, with the power of the early stages of the earthly manifestation realm, can easily slaughter giants of the later stages. To , you are but chickens and dogs. In the future, when I reach the later stages of the earthly manifestation realm, my combat power will be unimaginable to you!”
“In one sentence, submit to , submit to Shushan Sword Sect, and you can enjoy wealth and honor. If you resist, you will face extermination,” Nangong Hong laughed ominously. “You must feel very stifled, right? Indeed, it’s quite stifling, but circumstances trump everything. No matter how stifled you feel, you have no choice but to endure. If you don’t, you will lose your life, and your soul will be destroyed. I, not yet thirty, am already a great person who commands respect from all. You have no choice but to bow to , that is fate.”
Nangong Hong’s speech was frenzied, aggressive, righteous, as if he were a true deity or emperor, deciding the life and death of others. A slight act of defiance against him could lead to the extermination of nine generations!
“Sect Master Ling Feng!!!!!” An old man with white hair stood up abruptly, furious. “So, your birthday feast was a sinister plot! You want to swallow us whole! No! Impossible! Although we, Ailao Mountain, are weak, we will not allow ourselves to be devoured by Shushan Sword Sect! Enough, I shall not partake in this feast any longer, farewell!”
The speaker was the current Sect Master of Ailao Mountain, a mid-stage presence of the earthly manifestation realm, still far from a true giant but with a firm backbone.
“Die!” Nangong Hong’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Boom~~!!!!
The blood bat phantom above his head struck with a blood-colored blade light!
This blade light was indescribably demonic, moving instantaneously, it landed on the Sect Master of Ailao Mountain.
His body was as fragile as paper-mâché and exploded in an instant!
Flesh and soul, in a flash, shredded by the blood-colored blade light!
“Co when you want, leave when you wish, do you take Shushan Sword Sect for nothing?” The murder-prone Nangong Hong was now very calm, yet rciless. “It’s best you don’t act rashly; whoever does, dies. Your individual willingness to die is your own affair, but to implicate your family, your fellow sect mbers, descendants, children, and grandchildren, that would be unfortunate~~~ Hear this, today, anyone who defies will face extermination of their entire family, decimation of their sect, and the eradication of nine generations!!!!!!”
Nangong Hong’s entire being radiated with a demonic aura, no longer human!
