CHAPTER 1560: CHAPTER 1559 BLACK JIAO

The battle in the sky had lasted for more than an hour, and people were constantly falling down, yet those who remained still struggled to hold on.

The light screen had become extremely dim, and it was covered with cracks, as if it could shatter at any moment like a cracked egg.

Of course, the people from the Four Great Sects weren’t in much better shape; after all, creating this Hundred Battle Blade required a lot of power.

The Master of Tiandao Peak, wielding the Hundred Battle Blade, stood proudly in the air, laughing wildly: "Long Yi, are you really going to stick it out? Does the Great Might Dragon Gate truly wish to perish alongside that Su fellow?"

Long Yi, now covered in blood, appeared even calmer; he said nothing, merely quietly held up the light screen above his head a little higher, highlighting his resolve!

"Stubborn fool, you deserve to die here!" the Master of Tiandao Peak shouted angrily, wielding the Hundred Battle Blade once more.

The Hundred Battle Blade roared down, cleaving the light screen. This time, the screen finally couldn’t hold and shattered under the blow.

And the speed of this cleave did not diminish; it still whistled towards Dragon Gate Mountain below.

Seeing the momentum of this strike, those below were all filled with dread. This strike could very well scatter the entire Dragon Gate Mountain!

Su Yang took a deep breath, and his heart also tightened with suspense, but there was still a glimmer of hope within him.

Because, the dean had told him that the Great Might Dragon Gate was protected by followers of the Azure Dragon. In such a situation, would the followers of the Great Might Dragon Gate appear?

As that strike rapidly approached, Long Yi in the sky closed his eyes abruptly, facing the Hundred Battle Blade head-on, he prepared to sacrifice himself for the sect.

At this critical moment, a tremor suddenly came from beneath Dragon Gate Mountain. Immediately after, a rush of black aura shot up from the mountain, pouncing on the Hundred Battle Blade.

The Hundred Battle Blade, a creation of power, was directly repelled by the black aura.

The Master of Tiandao Peak, caught off guard by the unexpected situation, was knocked off the Hundred Battle Blade, retreating in disarray.

At this moment, everyone in the mountain was stunned, all looking in disbelief at the mass of black aura in the sky.

This mass of black aura, about a thousand feet long, was not in the least inferior to the Hundred Battle Blade. Within the ominous black aura, there were two giant spheres radiating yellow light, resembling the sun and moon in the sky.

Seeing this black aura, a flash of excitement crossed Long Yi’s eyes; he directly knelt down, trembling, and said, "Welcome, Ancestor!"

The elders of the Great Might Dragon Gate also knelt down, exclaiming in unison. As for the juniors, though clearly clueless about what the black aura was, they too knelt down quickly.

Su Yang, however, was shocked beyond words, without a doubt, the entity within the black aura was certainly a follower of the Azure Dragon.

However, the black aura was too dense for Su Yang to see clearly inside or determine what the follower was.

Even those from the Four Great Sects in the sky were equally astonished. The Master of Tiandao Peak, maneuvering the Hundred Battle Blade from a high vantage, looked at the thousand-foot black aura and said in a deep voice, "Who would have thought the Great Might Dragon Gate hid such an ancient figure? Who are you, lurking in the black aura, sneaking attacks, what sort of skill is that?"

No one spoke, the two glowing orbs within the black aura fixated on the Master of Tiandao Peak, like a beast’s eyes, instilling deep-seated fear within him.

"Hiding in the shadows, trying to scare me?" The Master of Tiandao Peak roared angrily, "If you don’t speak, I will smash you to pieces!"

Still no response, that pair of eyes, devoid of emotion, remained locked onto the Master of Tiandao Peak.

"Courting death!" The Master of Tiandao Peak shouted angrily, wielding the Hundred Battle Blade to strike it.

The Hundred Battle Blade, fierce and formidable, reached the black aura in an instant. Just as it was about to hit the black aura, a massive horn emerged from within, clashing directly against the Hundred Battle Blade.

With a resonating clank, the Hundred Battle Blade was broken to pieces, the Master of Tiandao Peak spewed blood as he flew backwards, while those in the air from the Four Great Sects also turned pale. They all suffered a great shock.

Only at this point did Su Yang and the others see clearly, within the black aura, it was actually a colossal Black Jiao!

The Black Jiao stretched about a thousand feet long, its eyes resembled the sun and moon, the horn on its head was around a zhang in length, razor-sharp. Its head was dragon-like, covered in black scales, with two claws on its chest and two more at the end of its tail, majestic beyond measure!

Everyone was stunned; who could have imagined such a Black Jiao guarding the Great Might Dragon Gate?!

How did the Jiao come to be?

A snake takes five hundred years to become a Jiao, and a Jiao a thousand years to become a dragon!

A Jiao is a transformation from a snake.

But in fact, not every snake that has lived for five hundred years can become a Jiao; it requires a lot of fortuitous encounters as well.

A Jiao is second only to Divine Beasts, also known as Demonic Beasts. Truly cultivated to the peak, a Demonic Beast’s power is not much inferior to that of a Divine Beast.

This Black Jiao, a thousand feet long with four claws and a single horn, was evidently about to transform into a dragon.

Such a Black Jiao, having cultivated for at least fifteen hundred years, its terrifying strength is beyond imagination.

So what if the Four Great Sects have many Terrestrial Immortals? The Hundred Battle Blade formed by their combined strength could not withstand even a single blow from the Black Jiao’s horn!

This is the true foundation of the Great Might Dragon Gate, this is their true confidence!

Su Yang felt excitement rising within him, needless to say, this Black Jiao was undoubtedly the follower of the Azure Dragon, having absorbed the spiritual essence of the Azure Dragon and cultivated to such an extent.

After the Azure Dragon went to seal the passage, it stayed to guard the Great Might Dragon Gate as a bastion for the Azure Dragon’s protection of the Human Realm.

Usually this Black Jiao would not show itself; only today, with the imminent downfall of the Great Might Dragon Gate, did it emerge, heavily injuring the members of the Four Great Sects!

The people of the Four Great Sects were terrified by the Black Jiao, and the Master of Tiandao Peak fainted right away.

It was also because the Black Jiao showed mercy, or else the Master of Tiandao Peak would certainly have met a gruesome end right there!

As for the people of the Four Great Sects, they were all dumbfounded, so frightened under the gaze of the Black Jiao that they didn’t dare to move.

The Black Jiao prowled in midair, its eyes coldly sweeping over the members of the Four Great Sects, before slowly retreating back into the black aura. Afterwards, the black aura withdrew back into Dragon Gate Mountain, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

The people of the Four Great Sects all breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other in apprehension, stole a glance at the Dragon Gate Mountain below, and fled together hurriedly.

They knew clearly, to continue fighting would provoke the Black Jiao’s wrath, and then they would all likely perish here!
