CHAPTER 1848: CHAPTER 1851: A SHOCKING SWORD: THE TERRIFYING MARTIAL GOD OF THE NATION

"Junior Sister!"

Phoenix Feiye was startled. Her junior sister never took the initiative to help others; she was by nature cold and indifferent. Yet today, she unexpectedly assisted Ling Xiao, which she couldn’t comprehend at all.

"Your name is Ling Xiao, and the elderly man is called Hong Qi. You both belong to the Ling Family of Tianfeng City on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, don’t you?"

Zui Ling Long asked Ling Xiao while she was taking action.

"That’s right. Do we know each other?"

Ling Xiao was a bit confused too. He could somewhat understand this assistance if it came from someone else, but Zui Ling Long definitely had no ties to him. Why would she do it?

"That’s right, I owe someone a debt of gratitude, and today, I must repay it."

Zui Ling Long sighed again, indicating she hadn’t planned on getting involved today, but owing a favor forced her to act.

"Enough already! Just a few petty thieves dare to challenge my Cangjing Family!"

Cangjin Fan was covered in wounds from Ji Qing, while Hong Qi and Zui Ling Long blocked the Cangjing Family experts of the Yin-Yang Realm at the seventeenth and sixteenth levels.

The rest no longer had any advantage against Ling Xiao and others.

Facing this situation, the Clan Leader of the Cangjing Family, an expert in the Reincarnation Realm, could no longer sit still.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed in the sky.

This roar, like a violent storm, made everyone feel immense pressure, as if their hearts might burst at any moment.

Then, people terrifiedly saw a horrifying giant hand descending from the sky, covering the heavens and pressing down on Ling Xiao and the others.

"Ling Xiao is finished!"

"He’s dead for sure!"

"Finally, they’ve provoked that guy!"

Amidst the crowd, many who resented Ling Xiao were smiling with relief because they believed that facing this terrifying sky-covering giant hand, Ling Xiao had no chance of survival.

Even Ji Qing couldn’t save him.

"Everyone, spread out! I will deal with him!"

Ling Xiao waved his hand backward, instructing everyone behind him to move aside. Instantly, his eyes turned scarlet, resembling a demon in the dark.

With no other options, against this terrifying expert of the Reincarnation Realm, besides unlocking the Seven Great Heavenly Demon Kings, he didn’t know what else to do.

Nothing else, not even the Butterfly Girl, could likely contend with this guy.

"Escape? No one shall escape!"

Behind the sky-covering giant hand, there was a blurred face filled with anger and fury.

"Those who killed my daughter shall not have a whole corpse!"

At this critical moment, suddenly a black sword light tore through the sky. The gigantic sword light struck the sky-covering hand, actually forcing it back with one slash.

"Is the Reincarnation Realm so mighty? Do you truly believe no one can subdue you?"

People looked towards the direction from which the voice came.

A person holding a wine gourd in his left hand and a black longsword in his right hand was looking coolly at the sky.

"Wine Demon Sword!"

Ling Xiao was overjoyed.

Repelling the enemy without activating the power of the Demon King was exactly what he preferred. After all, once he used the power of the Demon King, he himself was highly likely to be swallowed by the Demon King and become a true demon.

"What? It’s actually the Wine Demon Sword, that swordsman who was number one at the White Tiger Summit ten years ago?"

Tianai Ba Tu and Phoenix Feiye both showed expressions of shock.

A huge drop of blood fell from the sky, splattering onto the ground.

That sword had actually injured the clan leader of the Cangjing Family.

How terrifying had the power of the Wine Demon Sword become?

"Kill!"

The Wine Demon Sword wielded his longsword again, and a terrifying sword aura soared skyward, slashing towards the distant martial artists.

"Ah!"

Another miserable scream was heard.

The clan leader of the Cangjing Family had no power to resist under the Wine Demon Sword.

This was something even Ling Xiao had not expected.

It seemed that on the Divine Phoenix Continent, due to the laws, the Wine Demon Sword couldn’t reveal his strongest power, and once he did now, it was terrifying beyond measure.

"Scram!"

At this moment, Ji Qing also struck and knocked Cangjin Fan flying with a palm.

Cangjin Fan was spewing blood profusely, unable to stand.

Seeing this situation, Ling Xiao was greatly encouraged. Waving his black Demon Sword, he turned into a shadow, flickering among the martial artists of the Cangjing Family.

In an instant, all martial artists below the sixteenth level of the Yin-Yang Realm were killed.

Ling Xiao’s counterattack had begun!

And once the counterattack began, it was terrifying! It truly felt like the entire Cangjing Family was about to be annihilated.

"Everyone, stop!"

The Divine Envoy of the Xuanwu Divine Hall finally spoke again.

"What’s the matter, Divine Envoy? Didn’t you say we should solve it ourselves? Are you unhappy now?"

Ling Xiao looked at the Divine Envoy of the Xuanwu Divine Hall, speaking coldly.

"The Wine Demon Sword, Zui Ling Long, and Ji Qing aren’t under your command, are they?"

The Divine Envoy questioned.

"Haha, the Wine Demon Sword, as one of the martial gods protecting the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, how is he not one of my people?

As for Senior Zui Ling Long and Ji Qing, I don’t recall asking them to intervene. They joined the battle themselves; is that my fault?"

Ling Xiao’s voice carried a hint of sarcasm.

"Regardless, today’s battle has become unfair. Have the Wine Demon Sword stop fighting, or else you’ll risk infuriating the other Three Great Families and be unable to end it."

The Divine Envoy spoke sternly.

"Let them come. At worst, today I will commit a great massacre on behalf of His Majesty, eliminating the Four Great Clans."

In the sky, the Wine Demon Sword spoke domineeringly, clearly not taking the Four Great Clans seriously at all.

"Have the Cangjing Family retreat, and never set foot in the Cangjin Temple again; then I can have Senior Wine Demon Sword stop."

Although the Wine Demon Sword was slaughtering all around heroically, Ling Xiao knew that even if the Wine Demon Sword wasn’t afraid of the Four Great Clans, the Xuanwu Divine Hall behind them was not to be trifled with.

If anything happened to the Wine Demon Sword, they would all be doomed.

For now, they could tempорarily pause and gain some advantage.

"That’s impossible!"

A furious voice came from afar.

After the voice, another scream was heard.

"Fine, I agree. From today on, the Cangjin Temple is yours and the entire Cangjing Family will withdraw."

In the sky, the Divine Envoy of the Xuanwu Divine Hall was silent for a moment before agreeing.

The Wine Demon Sword was too strong; to intimidate him, the envoy was far from qualified, unless he enlisted stronger experts from the temple.

But doing so would escalate the situation, which was something the Xuanwu Divine Hall didn’t want to see.

What the Xuanwu Divine Hall most wanted was for the White Tiger Summit to proceed smoothly.

After considering, he thought it wouldn’t be too late to deal with Ling Xiao and others after the White Tiger Summit by rallying the Four Great Families.

As soon as he spoke, the distant person fell silent, evidently conceding.

"Good, I trust in the promise of the Divine Envoy. Senior Wine Demon Sword, please cease your actions."

Ling Xiao shouted towards the sky.

"As you command, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"

The Wine Demon Sword returned to Ling Xiao’s side, standing there like a demon god of the sword.

His earlier talk of slaying the Four Great Clans was just talk; in reality, although they could win, it would definitely be mutually destructive.
