War God Long Ao

The Three Great Forces clearly had murderous intent.

The Third Level Long Family, Netherworld Mansion, and Piaomiao Palace each sent a Realm Emperor into White Spirit Mountain. Not only that, but to ensure a swift victory, Piaomiao Palace also dispatched a Semi-Saint Martial Artist.

The Three Great Forces knew very well that the Snake Emperor was surrounded by an invincible army, each member a Realm King or Realm Emperor, and all possessing an Undying Body.

For this very reason, assassinating the Snake Emperor from within the ranks of his invincible army would be no easy task.

After much deliberation, the Three Great Forces decided on a plan: three Realm Emperors would lure away the invincible army, while the Semi-Saint Martial Artist would personally strike and kill the Snake Emperor.

Staring at the Semi-Saint Martial Artist who had suddenly appeared before him—an Elder he even recognized—the Snake Emperor felt a sense of disbelief. 'There was a time when I was the Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace. Would this Elder have dared to act this way back then?'

"Snake Emperor, out of respect for your former status as Palace Master, I'll allow you to end your own life."

"Bullshit! Who the hell do you think you are? What gives you the right to tell me to kill myself?"

"Incorrigible."

The Snake Emperor was only at the Realm Emperor Realm, not even in the same league as a Semi-Saint Martial Artist. Because of this, the Semi-Saint Martial Artist hadn't regarded the Snake Emperor as a threat from the very beginning.

"If that's the case, then don't blame me for what happens next."

The Semi-Saint Martial Artist from Piaomiao Palace wasted no more words. No matter what, the Snake Emperor before him was no longer the Palace Master of old.

In the blink of an eye, the two were locked in a fierce battle.

Within just ten moves, the Snake Emperor could no longer hold his ground. He was battered by a series of attacks and already heavily injured.

"Die!"

However, the Semi-Saint charged forward quickly but was sent flying back even faster, his face a mask of utter disbelief.

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

Looking at the youth who had suddenly appeared, the Semi-Saint Martial Artist of course knew who he was: Long Ao, the Dragon Sect Master who had defied the Four Great Forces. One could dismiss the legends, but seeing him in person was an entirely different experience.

"You're the Dragon Sect Master, Long Ao?"

"Obviously."

The Semi-Saint's expression turned cold. His opponent was a Semi-Saint Martial Artist, and so was he. Why should he be afraid?

With this in mind, the Semi-Saint Martial Artist lunged forward, charging with a terrifying Holy Yuan Momentum.

"Blood-Drinking Devouring."

As he unleashed his Heaven and Earth's Momentum, a massive, illusory Black Dragon suddenly appeared behind Long Ao. A Dragon's Roar echoed, and before the Semi-Saint Martial Artist could even figure out what was happening, he found his body locked in place. Not only that, but the flow of Time around him even seemed to reverse.

His eyes filled with shock and disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

The Heaven-Shocking Blade Aura slashed out. The surrounding space trembled violently as hairline black rifts began to appear.

'The legends are true.'

Only now did the Semi-Saint Martial Artist finally understand just how terrifying the youth before him was. Not daring to linger for even a moment, he turned to flee, but how could Long Ao possibly give him the chance?

There was no suspense.

The Heaven-Shocking Blade Aura instantly engulfed the Semi-Saint Martial Artist. The Space Rifts danced wildly, seeming to roar and bellow in fury.

Swallowing hard, the Snake Emperor never would have imagined that the Sect Leader's strength had reached such a terrifying level that he could nearly instant-kill a Semi-Saint Martial Artist.

The Snake Emperor knew clearly in his heart that the Long Ao of today was nothing like the Long Ao of the past.

When Long Ao had caused a commotion at Piaomiao Palace and instantly killed a Semi-Saint Martial Artist, luck and the opponent's carelessness had been major factors. But this time, Long Ao's instant kill of a Semi-Saint Martial Artist was accomplished purely through his own formidable power.

"Sect Leader, I'm sorry. I was wrong this time."

Waving his hand, Long Ao couldn't even be bothered to say a word. He recalled the entire Corpse Slave Army and severed the power connecting them to the Snake Emperor. From now on, the Snake Emperor would no longer be able to command the Corpse Slave Army.

How could the Snake Emperor not understand this? His rashness had not only cost him command of the Corpse Slave Army, but his standing within the Dragon Sect would also plummet in the future.

Letting out a deep sigh, the Snake Emperor didn't blame anyone else. He knew that he was the main culprit behind this whole mess and had no one to blame but himself.

With the Corpse Slave Army standing guard, Long Ao led the Snake Emperor and slowly departed from White Spirit Mountain.

Long Ao's situation was completely different from the Snake Emperor's. The Corpse Slaves followed Long Ao's commands one hundred percent of the time, something the Snake Emperor had been unable to achieve.

Seeing Long Ao and the Snake Emperor walk out of White Spirit Mountain, the expressions of everyone from the Three Great Forces changed. They weren't wary of the Snake Emperor, but they were terrified of Long Ao.

A man's reputation precedes him, as the saying goes. The news that Long Ao had repeatedly dealt heavy blows to the Four Great Forces had long since spread throughout Kyushu. To say they weren't afraid of such a defiant figure would be a lie.

But the Three Great Forces had experts as numerous as the clouds; they had as many as six Semi-Saint Martial Artists alone. With such strength, there was no need for them to fear Long Ao. For this very reason, they all stared intently at Long Ao, their meaning perfectly clear.

"Long Ao, let me give you a piece of advice. You'd best surrender. We, the Three Great Forces, can be magnanimous and spare your life. Otherwise..."

"A bunch of trash."

Casting a cold gaze at the members of the Three Great Forces surrounding them, Long Ao didn't want to waste another word. He summoned a Flying Spirit Beast Corpse Slave and had the Snake Emperor leave first, but how could the Three Great Forces possibly allow that?

Three figures shot out from the Three Great Forces simultaneously, all of them experts at the Realm Emperor Level. But before anyone could react, they were cut down by a heaven-shocking flash of light, their corpses plummeting to the ground.

Everyone stared dumbly at the scene that had just unfolded. Long Ao had instantly killed three Realm Emperor Martial Artists. 'Could even a Semi-Saint Martial Artist do that?'

The Snake Emperor escaped successfully. With that, Long Ao no longer had any scruples and could begin a massacre.

'Originally, I didn't want to make a complete break with the Three Great Forces. After all, the Dragon Sect's current strength isn't at the point where we can fight them to the death. But now that I think about it, if things continue like this, it won't benefit the Sect's development at all.'

'The Dragon Sect is guarded by the Fire Qilin, and the family is protected by the Ancestor. Even if the Three Great Forces want to move against the Sect and the family, it's highly unlikely they'll succeed. Therefore, with nothing left to worry about, I've decided to start a massacre and make a clean break with the Three Great Forces.'

'Even if I can't annihilate the Three Great Forces, I must rapidly develop the strength of the Sect and the family. The only way to do that is through slaughter.'

"Everyone here today will die. Not a single one will be spared."

"Hahaha, just you?"

"Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Such arrogance."

"You're overestimating yourself!" Hearing Long Ao's outrageous declaration, waves of mockery rose from the crowd. They didn't take his words to heart at all. For one person to want to kill everyone present—he had to be either insane or an idiot.

"Long Ao, you're the one who's going to die today, not us! I'd like to see just how you plan to kill every last one of us! You will pay the price for your arrogance!"
