335: Chapter 335 The Heavenly Water Sect's Zong Yan, the Soul Emperor Makes His Move

Upon hearing the little girl's words, the corners of the mouths of the hundred guards surrounding them twitched uncontrollably.

They covered their mouths, trying not to laugh out loud!

"Hmph, as long as you agree, you can come out and escape this cage!" Zong Yan was still unwilling to give up, his expression turning cold.

The reason he was doing this was because he had seen the power behind the Golden Dragon.

The power of the Dragon Palace had always been extremely mysterious; throughout the entire Fighting Qi Continent, apart from the top ancient forces, no one understood just how vast the Dragon Palace was.

"How could the Tianshui Sect produce such a beast? It is truly damnable!"

Mei Niang said coldly, feeling somewhat angry. To think he wanted to forcibly marry a little girl—was this the twisting of human nature, or the corruption of morality?

"Yan Xing, Tu Xingzi, prepare to strike and rescue this little girl!"

Hun Tiandi's expression was grave as he gave the instruction. This white-robed young man was scheming against the Golden Dragon; he must have set his sights on the Golden Dragon clan.

Naturally, he was interested in such a top-tier force.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the two replied respectfully. After witnessing Hun Tiandi's terrifying power, Tu Xingzi had developed the intention to pledge his allegiance.

Although he was an expert at the Dou Huang level, he could not achieve great things on his own.

"Young Master, this little girl's strength is only at the third stage of Dou Zhi Qi, she hasn't even reached the level of a Dou Practitioner. Why are you still talking to her?"

"It would be better to just take her back directly; wouldn't it be better to just get it over and done with!"

The guard beside him reminded him, wondering why he had to go through such trouble.

Zong Yan glared coldly at the guard beside him, feeling impatient and blaming him for being meddlesome!

Meanwhile, inside the cage, Tianxin's beautiful eyes flashed with killing intent as she glared fiercely at that guard. At this moment, Tianxin bore a grudge against him.

Zong Yan turned to look at the Golden Dragon inside the cage and took a deep breath.

He was just about to speak.

On a distant mountain peak, Tu Xingzi and Yan Xing each held a curved bow, pulling them into a full moon shape, and shot out four long arrows.

Whoosh... Whoosh...

The four long arrows pointed directly at the people outside the cage who were controlling the formation. The arrows were imbued with Fighting Qi, moving as fast as lightning; they arrived too quickly.

The accident happened too suddenly!

The long arrows were aimed directly at the four men. By the time the guards realized the arrows were coming, they were already right in front of them.

Bang...

With the keen perception of Dou Wangs, the four men dodged quickly, and the four long arrows shot directly ten inches into the ground.

The long arrows were imbued with Fighting Qi, making their tips even sharper; piercing through Fighting Qi armor was definitely not a problem.

Dodging would disrupt the formation, but not dodging would mean death, so the four men dodged without hesitation.

After they scattered, the light of the cage dissipated.

Roar!

The moment the cage was broken, the Golden Dragon roared at the sky, but its voice was extremely weak. The dragon roar was filled with infinite sorrow and grievance...

The dragon roar shook the heavens, echoing through the vast sky.

Hum!

Suddenly, six guards activated the Azure Water Great Formation once again, trapping the little girl and the Golden Dragon.

These guards were well-trained; the hundred men quickly gathered, while the others took out their bows and arrows, preparing to fight back.

"Wait?" Zong Yan's expression changed.

But the guards beside him could no longer hold back. Since someone had come to cause trouble, they unleashed a rain of arrows toward Hun Tiandi.

Whoosh!

Nearly a hundred long arrows, imbued with Fighting Qi and sharp points, shot rapidly toward Hun Tiandi.

Boom!

The power of a hundred-man squad shooting their arrows simultaneously was terrifying.

"Oh no, Your Majesty, quickly dodge! This rain of arrows is dangerous..." Yan Xing's expression changed, and he hurriedly warned him.

"Step aside, I will handle this myself!"

Hun Tiandi's expression was cold, and an aura of royalty radiated from his body. He stepped forward, blocking in front of everyone, and opened his arms as if to embrace the world.

With a thought, surging spiritual power gushed out from his sea of consciousness, spreading all around and forming a giant net.

"Netherworld, open!"

He spoke in his heart, welcoming the rain of arrows. The air was filled with sharp, ear-piercing whooshing sounds.

Boom...

Accompanied by a loud explosion, with Hun Tiandi's full output, he forcibly blocked the entire rain of arrows.

With a movement of his spiritual power, he absorbed the rain of arrows into the Netherworld.

This scene was caught by Zong Yan in the distance; his eyes widened, flashing with a hint of surprise.

"Who are you?" Zong Yan shouted.

"Attack!" Hun Tiandi retracted his spiritual power, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. If not for the fact that his soul had previously broken through to the perfection of the Mortal Realm, it would have been very difficult to block this wave of arrows.

He said coldly, flipped his hand to retrieve a long blade, and dashed rapidly toward Zong Yan.

Yan Xing and Tu Xingzi followed closely behind. The sight of Hun Tiandi's mysterious technique earlier, catching the rain of arrows with his bare hands, was deeply imprinted in Tu Xingzi's mind.

"Just what is Your Majesty's true strength?" Tu Xingzi wondered in his heart.

Hun Tiandi had struck earlier because he recognized that the little girl in the Azure Water Great Formation was the very person whom the Hundred Poison Dou Huang wanted to take as a disciple?

The Golden Dragon in the cage was the very same golden dragon cub that had been trampled under the little girl's feet during the Golden Dragon Sweeping the Sea incident!

At that time, a group of flood dragons had been guarding its side, which showed that this golden dragon had an extraordinary status within the Dragon clan.

It was definitely not simple; Zong Yan placed such high value on the Golden Dragon's status, which was why he demanded that the little girl marry him.

Most importantly, the little girl's surname was 'Tian'?

Tian was the surname of the Tianxuan Empire, but it had been destroyed, and those with the Tian bloodline were hunted down by people all over the world, so very few people on the entire continent had the surname Tian.

Back then, the Crown Prince of Tianxuan was hunted down, and many forces on the continent had participated.

Hun Tiandi, through a twist of fate, was swallowed into a snake's belly, where he obtained the method of the Dynasty of Fortune. Following the map of the Dynasty of Fortune method, he found the inheritance of the Heavenly Silkworm Dragon Emperor.

He obtained the true method of the Dynasty of Fortune: Forging the Heavenly Court.

That was how the later Dazheng Dynasty came to be. According to Hun Tiandi's long investigation, the national beast of the Tianxuan Empire was the dragon!

It could summon the Dragon clan to fight.

And this little girl had the surname 'Tian', had a golden dragon beside her, and her status was not low.

The little girl's identity was that of a remnant of the Tianxuan Empire, a descendant of the Tian family. His mind raced frantically; back then, the Crown Prince of Tianxuan had paid the price with his life.

He had attracted the attention of all the forces on the continent, preserving the last trace of bloodline for the Tian family.

Hiss...

"What an impressive Crown Prince of Tianxuan, what a deep scheme! He gambled his life against the heavens for a glimmer of hope!" Hun Tiandi gasped.

With the series of clues connected, Hun Tiandi understood everything.

This little girl had to be saved; even if it meant facing the Ancient Eight Clans, he would not hesitate.

Saving them might be to repay the karma of Forging the Heavenly Court, and it was also because he valued the Golden Dragon's status; regardless of the reason, he had to make a move.

To be able to have a group of flood dragons guarding it, the identity of this golden dragon was likely not simple.

Since they were not far from the ocean, if this golden dragon let out a roar, one could only imagine what kind of experts it might summon.

"Who are you? Kill him for this young master!"

Zong Yan shouted coldly, and another rain of arrows was fired. His figure flickered as he moved within the rain of arrows.

Slash!

Hun Tiandi moved the long blade in his hand, and the Fighting Qi within his body poured out like a tidal wave. In an instant, he unleashed ten slashes, and ten massive blade beams burst forth.

They slashed toward Zong Yan, the fierce blade light striking upward.

Hmph, you're courting death!

Zong Yan took out a long sword, swinging the blade to meet the long blade in Hun Tiandi's hand.

Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method, activate!

The fourfold power of the third level erupted, and with a thought, he channeled it into the long blade. The collision of the blade and sword sparked intense fire.

Hun Tiandi fought with all his might, holding nothing back, unleashing his strongest power right from the start.

Crack!

The long sword in Zong Yan's hand instantly shattered into several pieces and fell to the ground.

"How is this possible?" Zong Yan was horrified. He had to know that his weapon was a Magic Core weapon crafted by a master, yet it had been snapped in a single exchange of combat.

What kind of monster was he facing?
