Chapter 755 Vow of Life and Death!
ord Technique to any disciple of Sky Mountain Sect! You got Purple-Blue Treasure Sword long ago!""Enough, enough. Yaor is a little naughty and may do some unconventional things. Besides, she went to t...Volume 2 Chapter 755 - Life and Death Pledge!
Her Purple-Blue Treasure Sword was not slow, instantly chasing after Hao Ren.
The Lu sisters and Xie Yujia also converged from both sides, flying beside Hao Ren.
In the East Sea University campus, those young dragon cultivators and Dragon Palace Princes all flew up, following Hao Ren towards the Dragon God Hall.
The news that Zhao San Ye of the East Sea Dragon Palace and Su Han, the regional inspector of Donghai City, would duel in the Dragon God Hall had spread throughout every nook and cranny of the East Sea region within half a day. Any cultivator in Donghai City was qualified to watch.
Everyone wanted to know what the outcome of this rare peak battle would be.
In an instant, several hundred people formed a flying formation around Hao Ren.
Bang bang bang…
In the East Sea waters, dozens of commanders rose up.
Wearing golden armor, Liu Yi hurriedly flew at the forefront. Knowing Zhao Kuo would challenge Su Han, he rushed back from West Sea Dragon Palace to meet with the commanders of East Sea Dragon Palace. Seeing Hao Ren fly overhead suddenly, he leaped out of the sea and followed him.
With Zhao Kuo returning to peak Heaven rank, defeating Su Han meant ascending to Heavenly Dragon status; thus, these high-ranking East Sea Dragon Palace commanders could not contain their excitement and wanted to see it for themselves.
These commanders led troops in training and battles year-round, understanding realms through combat. To sit in this position required at least exchanging realm!
Zhao San Ye was the "soul" of East Sea Dragon Palace; how could these East Sea commanders not go to watch as he challenged a peak Heaven rank inspector
Hao Ren led them around Kunlun Mountain, flying straight toward the Dragon God Hall.
The large barrier of the Dragon God Hall had opened up a gap. The third-level inspectors guarding it yielded when Hao Ren appeared.
Hao Ren was no longer returning as an inspector but as a grand general of East Sea.
These young cultivators accompanying him were also dragon cultivators from Donghai City. Some among them were entering the Dragon God Hall for the first time, slightly excited.
The Dragon God Hall's examination was open to ordinary dragon cultivators but not everyone could enter. For instance, these outer disciples of the palaces might lack the opportunity to be led by elders to the Dragon God Hall.
Xie Yujia wasn't a dragon cultivator, yet she had the mark of a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator on her shoulder. The Lu sisters weren’t dragon cultivators either, but they secretly burst into a Spirit Transformation Realm level for a second, causing two inspectors to quickly dart aside.
Hao Ren was no longer an inspector, yet he still wasn't someone to be trifled with!
Duan Yao followed Hao Ren closely and didn’t face any inspection as she entered the Dragon God Hall's barrier effortlessly.
Zhen Ciming stepped confidently on his black disk, entering along with him. Then dozens of East Sea Dragon Palace commanders, their armor gleaming, entered the range of the Dragon God Hall.
Due to Yue Zilong’s stomp when he captured Zhen Ciming, none of the thousands of quarters and dozens of martial arts platforms on the platform of the Dragon God Hall remained.
A flat circular platform was exposed, revealing a hard and white stone ground. In the center of the platform stood the dark Dragon God Temple.
The Dragon God Temple today was surrounded by a thin layer of light red glow, as if a special barrier had risen.
Compared to before, this platform now exuded an overwhelming pressure, making several young cultivators who followed Hao Ren almost unable to breathe.
Xie Yujia noticed the young cultivators following Hao Ren looking rather pale and proactively distributed some Qi replenishing pills to them.
These Qi replenishing pills were all fourth-grade ones. The young cultivators who felt a bit overwhelmed immediately swallowed the medicine, feeling much better instantly.
Bang...
Zhao Hongyu's Colorful江山圖 (Jiangshan Tu) flew in from the direction of the Dragon God Temple's large barrier gap. Along with Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang appeared around a dozen purple-robed elders from the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.
The two elders, Lu Qing and Sun Yun, who were in charge of land affairs, were naturally among them as well.
"Dad! Mom!"
Zhao Yanzi saw Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang immediately rushed to greet them.
"Young Master Hao, General Liu, the two Miss Lu..." The hunchbacked Chancellor Xia bowed in turn upon seeing Hao Ren and company already here.
The main characters gathered on this Dragon God Temple platform were from the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.
This competition was taking place between Zhao Kuo and Su Han, with Su Han backed by the Dragon God Temple, and Zhao Kuo supported by the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. In a way, it could be considered a confrontation between the Dragon God Temple and the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.
There were also some cultivators not from the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, apart from those young cultivators who came with Hao Ren, there were old-established cultivators of other lineages in the eastern sea region like Shi Lao from Qingyan Mountain near Donghai City and dragon kings or elders of nearby rivers and lakes’ palaces.
As for cultivators further away, they only knew about this competition but didn’t have the qualifications to enter the Dragon God Temple—the Dragon God Temple allowed Su Han and Zhao Kuo to compete within its range while inviting eastern sea region’s cultivators as spectators mainly to show fairness. Therefore, those unrelated to Donghai would not be let in.
However, it was true that the news of two peak Heavenly Rank cultivators competing inside the Dragon God Temple for a breakthrough had spread throughout the dragon clan circle, and such competition results would quickly disseminate across the board.
Rush rush rush...
Hundreds of inspectors emerged from the black Dragon God Temple in succession.
Hao Ren noticed that Qin Shaoyang was wearing a golden robe again, becoming a fourth-grade inspector. He looked around and saw Xu Ke wasn’t present, feeling somewhat relieved.
Inspectors wore golden silk robes for fourth grade, yellow silk robes for third grade, and numerous silver and white-robed second and first-grade inspectors.
No matter what, since Su Han was an inspector, he represented the Dragon God Temple. With this competition taking place inside the Dragon God Temple, it was natural that the temple side took it seriously.
The Eastern Sea’s cultivators stood on the edge of the platform while the inspectors from the Dragon God Temple were on the side close to the black Dragon God Temple.
Between them was a large open area, yet neither Zhao Kuo nor Su Han had appeared yet.
Buzz!
The barrier outside the Dragon God Temple platform suddenly showed a fluctuation.
Zhao Kuo, wearing black leather armor, shot in like a dark cannonball and crashed into the Dragon God Temple's barrier with a loud bang.
His feet landed on the platform, instantly leaving two shallow footprints.
Bang… A powerful aura burst out from his body.
The Fourth-level Review Officer Qin Shaoyang, whose realm had yet to recover, stepped back three or four steps and leaned against the Dragon God Temple's stone wall to stabilize himself.
The other low-ranking review officers also quickly raised their hands to block Zhao Kuo’s powerful aura.
"Third Master! Third Master!" Dozens of East Sea generals standing near Hao Ren shouted excitedly upon seeing Zhao Kuo arrive.
Zhao Kuo was always regarded as the "God of War" in their hearts. Apart from failing once during his ascension, he had never been defeated. His comeback to peak Gān-level after losing all his realm clearly demonstrated his strength!
Bang! Zhao Kuo shook his body and a slender black dragon spear slid out from his wrist.
On the top floor of the Dragon God Temple, wearing a black robe and standing by the window, Yue Zilong turned back to say, "Master, Zhao Kuo has arrived."
"Hmm…" In the open room, the Master slowly stood up.
Yue Zilong was surprised to see the Master stand up; he hadn't expected it. The remaining eight Deputy Masters were also taken aback by his actions.
The Master said, "This person who has re-ascended to peak Gān-level should not be underestimated. Perhaps none of you can match him."
The nine Deputy Masters remained silent.
They had never fought Zhao Kuo themselves but if the Master spoke like this, it must be true. Yet in their hearts, they were also puzzled. If Zhao Kuo, who could be considered the number one expert among humans, was so formidable, how could Su Han, just having ascended to peak Gān-level, possibly stand a chance against him
If that's the case, why send Su Han to fight What would happen if a peak Gān-level Review Officer were defeated by Zhao Kuo and thus tarnish the Dragon God Temple’s prestige
"Su Han may not necessarily lose," the Master continued.
He gradually turned around, revealing his face. The Master controlling the Dragon God Temple had a deep voice but was actually a handsome young man.
He appeared to be in his thirties, yet he embodied an unmistakably masculine and handsome figure.
The nine Deputy Masters, who all reached or approached peak Gān-level, felt somewhat fearful when the Master turned around to reveal his face. Since entering the Dragon God Temple, they had handled their own duties without ever seeing the Master’s true appearance or knowing his true strength. Nevertheless, it was evident that he surpassed them!
The last time Zhen Ciming escaped, a black beam shot out from within the Dragon God Temple and easily captured him.
And today, he actually ended his meditative wall-scaling posture, not only standing up but also showing his true face to these nine vice-chamberlains.
The nine vice-chamberlains immediately became tense.
This chamberlain walked towards the window and looked at the vast square below the Dragon God Temple. After a few seconds of silence, he said calmly, "Regardless of whether Su Han wins or loses, lives or dies in this match, none of you are allowed to intervene."
All nine vice-chamberlains immediately bowed deeply and accepted their orders.
Zip...
A sharp sound appeared in the distant sky.
Su Han, dressed in a colorful and flowing robe, stood on her emerald jade longsword and flew through the gap in the shield of the Dragon God Temple.
She lightly leaped, leaving almost no trace as she landed on the platform. Her jade sword moved too quickly for anyone to see, already resting in her palm.
Bang...
The peak-level qi momentum was instantly released.
Swoosh!
Two pieces of silk flew out from the top level of the Dragon God Temple.
They were two Declarations of Life and Death!
Zhao Kuo and Su Han simultaneously caught the silks flying towards them, neatly unfolded them, cut their fingers with their fingertips to stamp red fingerprints on them.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
They then tossed the silk declarations to each other to exchange their finger prints.
Whir...
A black light shot out from the top level, retrieved the two pieces of silk, and threw them to a Daoist cultivator from the East Sea and the inspectors near the Dragon God Temple, respectively.
Su Han's demeanor was icy cold, different from when she parted ways with Hao Ren in the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons. Her crystal had shattered, replaced by a colorful Nuwa stone.
Within one month, if she didn't ascend to heaven, according to Qiu Niu's agreement, this Nuwa stone would be reclaimed, and she would die.
Zhao Kuo couldn't fulfill his vow to his father to send Zhao Haoran to the heavenly mausoleum if he failed to ascend to heaven.
Rustle rustle... A Declaration of Life and Death bearing their fingerprints flew towards Zhao Guang.repared for assistant examiners!Regardless of their origin from various dragon palaces or their respective status and levels, once all candidates arrived at the Dragon God Temple, they were equal.Howe...
