Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 169: Chapter 168: Divine Guardian of the Dragon Suppression (Third Update!)

“Although the Purple Night Divine Guard from the God-Slaying Pavilion is terrifying with magic, they can only launch long-range attacks, close combat is certain death!”

A young man dressed in a black robe approached from not far away, his aura so contained that it was difficult to sense his Cultivation Base.

Only those from the Royal Guard knew that he was Sheng He, the Corps Commander of the Royal Guard, whose Cultivation Base was at Dragon Spirit Realm Peak.

In the Royal Guard, the lowest was at the Early Stage of Dragon Spirit Realm, and all members had to be versed in the art of assassination and deeply understand the power of combined strikes.

The Sect of True Martial Arts had previously dispatched the Royal Guard to assassinate a Sect Master of a Ninth-Rate Sect who was in the Late Stage of Dragon Pill Realm, along with three Deputy Sect Masters in the Mid Stage of Dragon Pill Realm.

Sheng He, as the Corps Commander of the Royal Guard, immediately saw that the Purple Night Divine Guard could only attack from a distance and had extremely weak bodies.

“The Second Army will strike first to cover us!” Sheng He said.

“Mm.”

A middle-aged man beside him nodded, and with a wave of his hand, suddenly another thirty thousand people charged out.

The aura of these thirty thousand people burst forth, starkly different from that of the First Army.

The highest in the First Army was merely at the Dragon Blood Realm, whereas the Second Army, the lowest were at Dragon Blood Realm!

Among them were even dozens at Dragon Spirit Realm, who led the charge and directly used Dragon Techniques, causing the earth to thunder and the scene to be extraordinarily dazzling.

The Royal Guard followed closely behind these people, excellently concealed.

They did not burst forth with their aura and looked like ordinary people, appearing so insignificant on a battlefield of tens of thousands, almost unnoticeable.

“Die!”

Someone from the Purple Night Divine Guard made a move, seeing the arrival of the Second Army, he revealed a murderous intent, and amidst his bellow, the originally clear starry sky suddenly darkened.

Dark clouds seemed to be drawn to this area, gathering here, with streaks of silver light constantly weaving through them like silver snakes, vibrating vigorously.

“Descend – Fury of the Thunder!” the Purple Night Divine Guard declared.

“BOOM!!!”

Suddenly, a thunder pillar so terrifying it defied description fell from the void above.

The heavens seemed to be torn asunder, the terrifying pressure of thunder emanated from the pillar, causing everyone to squint due to the blinding silver light.

The Sect of True Martial Arts’ Second Army was charging toward this place when the thunder pillar struck first, hitting right in the center of the crowd.

In that instant, at least hundreds of people were engulfed by the thunder light.

They didn’t even have time to scream, even those at the Dragon Blood Realm couldn’t withstand the strike of the thunder, and died instantly!

“BOOM, BOOM, BOOM…”

Following the first thunder pillar, one after another continued to appear from the dark clouds.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it had shattered the well-organized Second Army of the Sect of True Martial Arts!

“Die!”

At that moment, a palm filled with a surging murderous aura suddenly appeared in front of the Purple Night Divine Guard. It was not one palm, but nearly a hundred.

Sect of True Martial Arts’ Royal Guard!

Having paid the price of a thousand lives, they had finally managed to reach the side of the Purple Night Divine Guard under the protection of the Second Army.

As they had anticipated, the Purple Night Divine Guard could only attack from a distance, their bodies were weak, their Cultivation Bases low, and they hadn’t even sensed the arrival of the Sect of True Martial Arts’ Royal Guard.

These Royal Guards had blood-red eyes and possessed a mysterious Invisibility Dragon Technique, which revealed their forms immediately after the attack.

“You’ve killed enough, haven’t you?”

Sheng He also appeared, his voice chilling to the extreme, holding a dagger in his hand that was a Gold Rank weapon, he directly stood behind a Purple Night Divine Guard, his dagger sweeping towards his neck.

Until this moment, the Purple Night Divine Guard had just realized someone was trying to assassinate him; it was already too late to evade, and the only outcome was to have his throat slit.

However, there was not a trace of fear in his eyes, nor any sign of panic. Instead, he stood there calmly with a smile even emerging at the corners of his mouth.

At the sight of this smile, Sheng Hee’s heart suddenly pounded, and a bad premonition rose within him.

He couldn’t understand why, at this point when the opponent was about to die, he was still so composed?

But at this moment, he had already reached the point of no return. Regardless of what confidence the opponent possessed, he had to kill him!

“Die!”

Sheng Hee’s voice was cold, and the Dragon Qi erupted, causing a burst of light to instantly erupt from the Gold Rank dagger.

“You think you can kill me, a Purple Night Divine Guard of the God-Slaying Pavilion?”

Just then, a cold voice suddenly appeared.

As the voice fell, that stunningly proud and beautiful figure also materialized in front of Sheng Hee.

Sheng Hee’s pupils contracted, but he did not run away; instead, he sped up even more.

Just as his dagger was about to slash the Purple Night Divine Guard’s neck, at this critical moment, a fair-skinned hand suddenly grabbed Sheng Hee’s arm.

At this moment, Sheng Hee felt a tremendous force emanating from that arm, as if it was about to crush his own arm.

“Who are you?!”

Sheng Hee roared unwillingly; he had clearly already killed this Purple Night Divine Guard, so why was someone else stopping him!!!

And it wasn’t just him; in that instant, all the Forbidden Guard who were attacking the Purple Night Divine Guard were also held back.

Apart from Sheng Hee’s location, all other Forbidden Guards were intercepted by at least two people.

“God-Slaying Pavilion, Divine Guardian of the Dragon Suppression.” The figure spoke calmly.

It was Xiao Yuhui!

The Purple Night Divine Guard was a mage, and most of them were still magic apprentices, not yet capable of casting spells instantly, thus they had significant deficiencies in self-protection.

Su Han naturally knew this, so how could he allow the Purple Night Divine Guards to be completely vulnerable?

The Divine Guardians of the Dragon Suppression led by Xiao Yuhui had always been secretly protecting them.

The Cultivation Base of the Divine Guardian of the Dragon Suppression wasn’t very high, and they were only at the Dragon Vein Realm now, but with over fifty Dragon Veins opened and various Dragon Techniques and weapons bestowed by Su Han, they were powerful enough to sweep through the Dragon Blood Realm. With two of them teaming up, they could temporarily halt an attack from the Dragon Spirit Realm Early Stage.

Although the Royal Guard of the Sect of True Martial Arts had successfully ambushed them, they hadn’t succeeded in killing anyone!

After the Purple Night Divine Guard was rescued, he quickly retreated, and the entire battlefield immediately turned into a combat zone between the Divine Guardian of the Dragon Suppression and the Royal Guard.

“Royal Guard of the Sect of True Martial Arts, huh? You’re Sheng Hee, right?”

Xiao Yuhui’s lips curled up, displaying a mix of allure and cold contradiction.

“Captain of the Royal Guard, what a formidable title. I am the Captain of the Divine Guardian of the Dragon Suppression; how about we test each other?”

“Die!”

Sheng Hee looked gnashing his teeth, utterly furious.

As his dagger burst into light, he thrust at Xiao Yuhui.

Xiao Yuhui lightly stepped aside, evading the strike with a sidestep.

And Sheng Hee’s figure passed by Xiao Yuhui.

Amazingly, he did not launch another attack, but instead, took this opportunity… and rapidly fled towards the Sect of True Martial Arts!
