Chapter 7: Blazing Dragon Swallows the Sword

Chapter 7: Blazing Dragon Swallows the Sword

The crimson flames clashed with the white sword aura, creating violent explosions that reverberated through the air.

Xuanjing City below was caught in the aftermath, engulfed in a sea of fire.

The battle between the two did not last long. Kou Hong's cultivation was originally inferior to Dao Xuanzi, and he was also weakened by the Immortal-Mortal Miasma attack from before, so he quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Dao Xuanzi showed no mercy despite this, as his sword techniques pressured Kou Hong relentlessly.

Just then, the old voice sounded once again.

"Dao Xuanzi is fickle and vindictive. If we let him win, there is no way for us to survive. Soldiers, obey my order and help Immortal Master Kou Hong deal with Dao Xuanzi!"

Kou Hong was overjoyed when he heard this.

He hastily distanced himself away from Dao Xuanzi, watching as Dao Xuanzi was swarmed with bullets. Triumphant, he shouted, "As the saying goes, you reap what you sow! I never expected that despite your veneer of righteousness, you would resort to betrayal and suffer a tragic backlash!"

Dao Xuanzi was already frustrated by the scheming of the hidden puppeteer, and when he heard Kou Hong's words, he was infuriated to the point of spitting blood.

"You stupid fool!" He couldn't stand it anymore and cursed at Kou Hong.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.

"At last, your true colors are emerging!" Kou Hong did not show any weakness and counterattacked, "You've always prided yourself as being particularly clever, but look at you now. You've been forsaken by the very mortals you controlled and manipulated! Your clever plan has backfired spectacularly!"

Dao Xuanzi heard this and was left speechless. Unable to argue any longer, he simply ignored Kou Hong and instead launched deadly sword attacks, reaping the lives of the mortal soldiers who dared to attack him.

However, these mortals were like locusts, their numbers seemingly endless. No matter how many he slaughtered, more would swiftly take their place, putting tremendous pressure on Dao Xuanzi, especially since he also had to be wary of the Immortal-Mortal Miasma. Because of this, he could only use energy-consuming ranged attacks to avoid being infected.

As a result, the battlefield entered a strange stalemate.

At this critical moment, that old voice echoed again relentlessly.

"Immortal Master Kou Hong, my clan's soldiers are on the brink of being wiped out. After Dao Xuanzi kills all of us, will he spare you? If you don't make a move at this time, when will you?!" The voice conveyed a tone of anxiousness and fear.

Kou Hong was awakened by this voice and instantly came to his senses.

The Heaven-Devouring Dragon shattered into crystalline fragments. Despite its appearance, it was no match for the Dao Xuan Sword!

The carefully prepared Dao Art proved to be fragile in the face of the giant sword shadow flying towards Kou Hong, but he neither panicked nor dodged away.

"Dao Art: Dragon's Rebirth!"

Under Kou Hong's furious shout, the crystalline fragments that had scattered upon the previous defeat instantly ignited once more.

They then coalesced together, forming a brand new blazing dragon.

Its flames burned brighter than ever before, and its prominent horns signified its proud heritage.

Like a sharp sword, the newly formed dragon surged relentlessly towards Dao Xuanzi, accompanied by the sound of a dragon's roar!

Dao Xuanzi's eyes flashed with a trace of appreciation, but the Dao Xuan Sword above him showed no sign of retreating.

In a life-and-death struggle, whoever was more decisive and ruthless would come out on top!

However, at this crucial juncture, the old voice sounded out once more, like a lingering specter.

"Immortal Master Kou Hong, we shall lend you our aid!"

Before the voice even faded, long cannonballs with fiery trails bombarded Dao Xuanzi from all directions and erupted into a rain of blood!

"Ah!" Caught off guard, Dao Xuan Zi let out a miserable scream as his imposing aura plummeted.

The shadow of the Dao Xuan Sword also became dim, and the blazing dragon was able to take this opportunity to overcome the Dao Xuan Sword, breaking through the distorted space and piercing through Dao Xuanzi's body!

On the other hand, the sword shadow wielded by Dao Xuanzi was at the end of its line, only forcing a few mouthfuls of blood out of Kou Hong before dissipating.

"I... I..." Dao Xuanzi coughed miserably, desiring but unable to express his final words.

In mere moments, swallowed by the Heaven-Devouring Dragon, Dao Xuanzi's body turned into a pile of bones.
