CHAPTER 1272: CHAPTER 1272: REVEALING THE TRUE SELF

After an Axe Light struck, everyone in Emperor City was stunned.

The entire Emperor City fell into a deathly silence.

Even the president of the Emperor Chamber of Commerce and Tantai Xun Yan showed expressions of astonishment, clearly shocked by the attack.

Chen Wudi was completely stunned too, never expecting Wang Long to be so overwhelmingly powerful.

"Damn, what level of attack is that?"

After a long time, someone finally regained their composure and couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Could it be that the Haotian Sect Master Kuang Lei is dead?" someone remarked.

This statement caused everyone around to suck in a breath of cold air.

It’s entirely possible.

"He shouldn’t be dead. A Peak of Primordial Immortal powerhouse wouldn’t die so easily; probably just got some injuries. But Jiang Sing is surely done for," someone spoke.

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

The previous strike was incredibly fierce.

Hong Xi was also utterly shocked, never imagining Wang Long would be so powerful.

Jiang Shengtian clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with strong jealousy.

"That axe must be a Divine Artifact! I didn’t expect two Divine Artifacts to emerge during this Immortal Order Competition," said the president of the Emperor Chamber of Commerce.

"Indeed, and the level of the Divine Artifact can’t be compared to the Treasure of our Four Great Sects." Tantai Xun Yan couldn’t help but sigh.

At this moment, her astonishment outpaced even that of the Emperor Chamber of Commerce president.

Because she knew more than anyone else that the other holder of a Divine Artifact was merely an avatar of this person.

Three avatars, two Divine Artifacts—what kind of secrets was this person hiding?

Tantai Xun Yan now found herself unable to see through this person.

Thinking about how the Tiancang Sect Master, who was still watching everything from the shadows, had provoked such a person, she found it quite amusing.

Perhaps that person still didn’t realize what kind of rival he had gotten involved with.

"Boom!"

A loud noise erupted, followed by commotion coming from within the huge chasm.

Then everyone saw a figure appear in their field of vision.

And in that figure’s hand was grasped an ancient and powerful sword.

Strong surges emanated from this sword—indeed, it was the Haotian Sect’s Treasure, the Haotian Sword.

In that moment, it was thanks to this Immortal Artifact that the Haotian Sect Master Kuang Lei managed to withstand the previous strike.

But even so, the Haotian Sect Master looked disheveled, his hair disarrayed behind him, appearing quite wretched.

His eyes were filled with intense anger.

As for Jiang Sing behind him, there was no trace of his remains.

It seems Jiang Sing never imagined even in death that with the protection of his Sect Master he would still meet such a tragic end.

People around couldn’t help but be moved; among the younger generation, only Wang Long was able to push the Haotian Sect Master to such an extent.

Even though he relied on a Divine Artifact, possessing an artifact and deploying it is still part of one’s own strength.

For others, they might not even have the courage to wield that axe.

Yet in their eyes, Wang Long was destined for a tragic end too.

After all, with his strength, wielding a Divine Artifact and launching such an attack, he was likely at the end of his rope now.

Indeed, Xu Nian’s body at this moment was utterly devoid of Spiritual Energy.

"Kid, I didn’t expect you to possess such a powerful Divine Artifact and push me to this extent. You’re undoubtedly the first among the younger generation, but you should never have provoked me, Kuang Lei, nor the Haotian Sect. Now you probably lack the power to fight further, right?" Kuang Lei looked at Xu Nian angrily, with a glint of greed in his eyes.

If he kills Xu Nian, that powerful Divine Artifact will belong to him.

"I indeed lack strength to fight on, but Sect Master Kuang Lei, I’ve taught my lesson, I’ve killed Jiang Sing, I’ve achieved my goal. If Sect Master wants to kill me, I would like to advise Sect Master Kuang Lei that if things end here, all grievances will be written off, but if Sect Master continues to hound me, I will certainly visit Haotian Sect in the future." Xu Nian smiled and said.

Everyone around showed astonished expressions.

This guy dared to threaten the Haotian Sect Master?

Was he defying fate?

Some felt it was merely Wang Long using a trick, trying to bluff the Haotian Sect Master, but was the Haotian Sect Master one to be scared?

"Kid, wipe everything off? You’ve killed two genius disciples of our Haotian Sect and humiliated us. Do you think I would really let this slide?" Haotian Sect Master sneered.

He truly didn’t care about Wang Long’s threat, as it seemed like Wang Long’s last-ditch effort.

"Then Sect Master can go ahead," Wang Long smiled.

From afar, seeing this, everyone showed puzzled expressions.

Does this guy still have some trump card?

"Hmph, I want to see what capabilities you have." Kuang Lei snarled, about to summon the thunderous might of heavens against Xu Nian.

"Kuang Lei, bullying a junior doesn’t prove anything, have the guts to duel me instead?" Now, a loud voice surged through.

In the next moment, a spatial vortex appeared in the void and two figures emerged into the view of everyone.

"The Denor Emperor and that Xu Nian?" The surrounding crowd recognized the identities of the two figures immediately.

They hadn’t anticipated these two would appear at this time.

"Xu Nian?" At a distance, Chen Wudi saw Xu Nian, his face showing a joyful expression.

Xu Nian turned back and smiled at Chen Wudi, signaling him not to worry.

Chen Wudi nodded, feeling elated.

"Brother Wang Long, my Brother Xu Nian will definitely save us." Chen Wudi said to Wang Long.

’Wang Long’ smiled back, unsure of how to reply.

"Denor, what do you mean by this? This matter has nothing to do with you; do you intend to meddle in these waters?" Kuang Lei shouted angrily.

"Haha, I do intend to intervene, and this matter isn’t unrelated to me. On the contrary, you’re set on killing someone from my Denor Empire, so of course I won’t stand by." Denor Emperor laughed heartily.

His mood, exceptionally buoyant at this moment.

"Someone from your Denor Empire? This Wang Long is merely a Loose Cultivator, how could he be connected to your Denor Empire? I see you’re clearly trying to seize the Divine Artifact." Haotian Sect Master yelled.

All around people nodded; they understand Wang Long’s identity as merely a Loose Cultivator.

"Sect Master Kuang Lei, then you tell me, am I not part of Denor Empire?" Divine Demon Avatar Xu Nian stepped forward and asked.

"Of course you are, but he’s not," Kuang Lei angrily responded.

However, Divine Demon Avatar just smiled: "Since I am, then he must be, because he and I are the same person."

As the words fell, Wang Long stepped forward, transforming back to his original appearance and aura.

"What? Wang Long and Xu Nian are the same person?"

The whole of Emperor City erupted like a boiling pot; no one could believe their eyes.

Even Chen Wudi was dumbfounded!
