Strongest War Emperor

With the Rock Demon Lord defeated, the Grand Array covering the Stone Forest was also completely dismantled.

The time for settling scores had finally arrived.

But the people from the Blood Wing Demon Sect clearly hadn’t expected to receive the same treatment as the White Bone Hall!

After a moment of stunned silence, a middle-aged man with a commanding presence from the Blood Wing Demon Sect group said coldly, ”Shen Lang, what is the meaning of this? Don’t forget, we of the Blood Wing Demon Sect are your allies!”

”Are you planning on turning on us now that you’ve gotten what you want?”

The entire crowd erupted in an uproar.

It was only then that the crowd understood. Shen Lang had allied with the Blood Wing Demon Sect early on, engaging in a hidden struggle against the White Bone Hall within the Yumu Cave Blessed Land.

But from beginning to end, the Blood Wing Demon Sect had merely watched from the sidelines as the tigers fought. They hadn’t lifted a finger to help the Profound Dao Sect or the Imperial Dragon Sect, had they?

The Blood Wing Demon Sect and the White Bone Hall were clearly mortal enemies, yet they had just watched the show as the Imperial Dragon Sect, the Flower Sect, and the others battled the White Bone Hall’s people, with no intention of intervening at all.

”No wonder Shen Lang is so angry. Turns out the Blood Wing Demon Sect didn’t pull their weight and were even planning to swoop in and reap the rewards.”

”Exactly, these Demonic Cultivators are truly cunning... What kind of bullshit alliance is that? When the Profound Dao Sect’s group was surrounded by Flame Demons and in grave danger, did we see them lend a hand? And now they have the nerve to call themselves allies?”

”Heh, don’t you get it? This isn’t about just lending a hand. The Blood Wing Demon Sect was obviously waiting for Shen Lang’s side and the White Bone Hall to fight to the death so they could pick up the scraps! If Shen Lang hadn’t shown up, can you guarantee the Blood Wing Demon Sect wouldn’t have turned on the Profound Dao Sect in the end?”

”Damn it, Demonic Cultivators are so despicable, shameless, sinister, and cunning... Serves them right, doesn’t it? They ran into a ruthless character like Shen Lang! As far as I know, Shen Lang isn’t one to suffer a loss! Any Sect or expert who opposes him ends up half-dead!”

”The Celestial Swordsman of Celestial Sword Mountain, how powerful was he? He provoked Shen Lang and still had to flee with serious injuries. He hasn’t dared to show his face since.”

”That’s right. From what I’ve heard, Shen Lang’s friends all do very well for themselves, while his enemies end up miserable... Haven’t you seen? Gong Lanyan is from the Xiu Hua Sect! Back in the day, the Xiu Hua Sect and the Profound Dao Sect didn’t get along, but now they’re allies. Look at how much the Xiu Hua Sect has gained this time! The powerful Armor she’s wearing is identical to the ones on Dongfang Jian and the others! It obviously came from Shen Lang...”

”Exactly, and Shen Lang even cut down Ji Chongfeng with a single slash for Gong Lanyan’s sake!”

As the crowd buzzed with discussion, Shen Lang had already walked back to where the Profound Dao Sect and the others were gathered.

He lifted his head slightly and asked arrogantly, ”Turn on you? Where was the bridge to begin with? Allies? When did you ever do anything an ally should?”

The people from the Blood Wing Demon Sect were stunned, but their faces were still etched with indignation.

The middle-aged man stepped forward and said in a low voice, ”No matter what, you shouldn’t treat us like this! We are your allies, not your enemies. You need to be clear on that point!”

”If you treat your allies this way, aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed by all the heroes in the world?”

”You killed the people from the White Bone Hall, and now you’re preparing to kill us. If word of this gets out, who would ever dare to cooperate with you again?”

These old monsters who had lived for over a thousand years were truly cunning and incredibly thick-skinned.

Even in a situation like this, they tried to turn the tables and put Shen Lang on the defensive.

Seeing Shen Lang remain silent, an old man with a wrinkled face standing beside the middle-aged man sneered and said, ”I should also remind you of something... this trial in the Yumu Cave Blessed Land is being supervised by the five great Spirit Copper Level Influences. The White Bone Hall is already your mortal enemy. It would be extremely unwise of you to force us into the enemy camp as well!”

”Even if you have a good relationship with the Imperial Dragon Sect and the other two Sects, they might not be able to protect you!”

”Ah, Qin Yun, you...” The middle-aged man was stunned, apparently not expecting the old fiend to say such a thing.

He hurriedly turned to stop the man from speaking further, but he was a beat too slow...

That old fellow, Qin Yun, pushed the middle-aged man’s hand away and spoke again in a booming voice, ”Do you have any idea why we, the two great Spirit Copper Level Sects of the Celestial Defying Demon Realm, are able to take a slice of the pie in the Yumu Cave Blessed Land? It’s because our two powers are far stronger than the Imperial Dragon Sect and their two allies!”

”Don’t think you can be so arrogant and domineering just because you defeated the Rock Demon Lord. If our Blood Wing Demon Sect were to join forces with the White Bone Hall, we could completely sweep through the entire First and Second Heaven of the Yumu Cave Blessed Land!”

”If you know what’s good for you, you’d better not push us!”

The old man’s voice grew louder and louder until he was practically roaring by the end.

The middle-aged man beside him, who had been relatively calm at first, turned pale as he listened...

The middle-aged man was clearly much smarter than this old fellow. He had wanted to use words to corner Shen Lang, making it difficult for him to act rashly.

In any case, there was no real grudge or conflict of interest between them at the moment.

In the end, Shen Lang was just a little angry that they hadn’t joined forces with the Imperial Dragon Sect and the others against the White Bone Hall.

’Just a few nice words and maybe an offer of some benefits, and perhaps his anger will fade?’

But as it turned out...

The situation, which had just barely stabilized, was completely upended by the old man’s two sentences... The middle-aged man felt like crying.

Sure enough, right before his eyes, a brilliant light flashed in Shen Lang’s pupils. In an instant, an incomparably sharp Saber Intent filled every inch of space within a five-hundred-meter radius!

Even this King Martial Realm Fifth Heaven powerhouse felt a searing pain on his face, as if it were being scraped by a blade!

”Shen Lang, don’t take my senior brother’s words seriously...” the middle-aged man said quickly, a bitter taste in his mouth.

At that moment, Shen Lang began to walk toward Qin Yun, dragging his Immortal Celestial Saber. ”Shamelessness may be a passport for the shameless, but it won’t work on me. The Blood Wing Demon Sect and the White Bone Hall joining forces? You’re gravely mistaken if you think you can threaten me with something like that.”

Shen Lang continued as he walked, ”Cooperating with your Blood Wing Demon Sect was merely a way to minimize the risk to my people.”

”But when we clashed with the people from the White Bone Hall, you didn’t do what allies should have. Instead, you chose to watch from the sidelines, hoping to swoop in and reap the benefits.”

”And now, you’re using a potential alliance between the Blood Wing Demon Sect and the White Bone Hall to threaten me. You think that if your group and their group over there join forces, you can stand against me, is that it?”

As he said this, Shen Lang’s Battle Intent surged, and a fanatical glint, like that of a battle maniac, appeared in his eyes!

At this moment in the Stone Forest, the Blood Wing Demon Sect had two King Martial Realm Sixth Heaven powerhouses and seven King Martial Realm Fifth Heaven powerhouses.

The White Bone Hall’s strength was comparable to the Blood Wing Demon Sect’s, just with one fewer person.

With two forces this powerful, they might even stand a fighting chance if two Rock Demon Lords were to appear!

No wonder that old fellow from the Blood Wing Demon Sect, even after witnessing Shen Lang’s power, still dared to be so arrogant and even provoke and threaten him...

On the other hand, for Shen Lang, if these two forces truly joined hands and fought him with all their might, the pressure on him would be immense.

And that kind of pressure was the very thing that fueled his growth!

Just then, the people from the White Bone Hall also began to move, taking up a position on the other side, forming a pincer formation with the Blood Wing Demon Sect!

The two sides, originally mortal enemies, had actually, with a surprising tacit understanding, joined forces while being suppressed by Shen Lang!

In an instant, their two tyrannical auras shot toward the heavens!

The momentum of the King Martial Realm Sixth Heaven powerhouses swept across the area, causing the faces of the experts from the surrounding Sects to change drastically!

”Bas-tards! If you want to play, we’ll play with you!” Zu Wei of the Imperial Dragon Sect roared, posturing as if to charge out.

The powerhouses from the Imperial Dragon Sect, Li Hen Sect, and Flower Sect followed close behind, also preparing for a big fight.

At this moment, Shen Lang raised his left hand and shook it. ”There’s no need for you all to intervene... They’re nothing but a disorderly mob. Killing them will be much easier than killing the Rock Demon Lord.”

Everyone present was left speechless...

From the looks of it, Shen Lang was planning to take on seventeen powerhouses all by himself!

And among those seventeen powerhouses, four were at the King Martial Realm Sixth Heaven, and the rest were all at the King Martial Realm Fifth Heaven!

A group of people began to back away, their faces filled with terror.

A battle of this magnitude was not something that ordinary King Martial Realm First and Second Heaven Martial Artists could participate in.

If a real fight broke out, it would likely be even more terrifying than the battle between Shen Lang and the Rock Demon Lord!

With so many powerhouses making a move, the Stone Forest, now without the protection of the Grand Array, would probably be torn upside down!

”Hahaha, Shen Lang, you are far too arrogant! Since you want to fight so many of us by yourself, don’t you regret it! I will make sure you die without a burial place!”

Feng Xihai of the White Bone Hall burst into maniacal laughter.

Just moments ago, he had been begging Shen Lang to give them a chance.

Seeing the Blood Wing Demon Sect’s falling out with Shen Lang and how tense the atmosphere had become, Feng Xihai thought he had seized an opportunity. After communicating with several members of the Blood Wing Demon Sect using his Divine Thought, he officially joined forces with them and once again resumed his arrogant and tyrannical demeanor!

Demonic Cultivators were truly fickle, sinister, and cunning, turning on a dime just as expected!

CRACK CRACK...

Shen Lang tilted his neck slightly, letting out a series of crisp cracks like popping corn.

Then, he grinned. ”Are you all... truly ready? No regrets?”

Feng Xihai of the White Bone Hall sneered, ”Cut the crap! Do you really think we’re afraid of you? You just had a huge battle with the Rock Demon Lord. With such massive consumption of energy, you’re already a spent force. Did you really think we couldn’t see you were just putting on an act?”

”You are powerful, but we... are not without our trump cards!”

”Since you are so reckless, we’ll let you see what we’re capable of!”

”This time, it won’t just be you who dies. Everyone from the Profound Dao Sect will be wiped out!”

Feng Xihai’s tone was grim and murderous. As soon as he finished speaking, a small, crimson seal in his hand suddenly expanded, and an aura of destruction erupted from the Great Seal, filling the heavens and earth!

”An Imperial Artifact, and at least a Second Grade Emperor Artifact! Feng Xihai actually brought an Imperial Artifact! What a move by the White Bone Hall, their ambitions are not small!” someone from the rear exclaimed in shock.

”That’s the White Bone Hall’s Bone Blood Seal! It possesses the power to stand against ten thousand foes. No wonder Feng Xihai dares to be so arrogant...”

The crowd was still stunned when an aura capable of shattering mountains and sweeping through armies began to emanate from the Blood Wing Demon Sect’s side...

Everyone’s attention was immediately drawn over. They saw the old man who had spoken earlier, Qin Yun, holding a long hook that radiated a dazzling edge and glinted with a soul-shaking cold light!

The hook was three feet long, with a bloody light flowing across its surface, faintly reflecting endless scenes of carnage and slaughter. It was utterly bizarre and unpredictable!

”Another Imperial Artifact! The Blood Wing Demon Sect’s Treasure of the Sect, the Blood Wing Evil God Hook!”

A cry of alarm immediately erupted from the crowd.

At that moment, Qin Yun of the Blood Wing Demon Sect laughed wildly. ”You little brat, your strength lies mainly in your physical body! With your Cultivation at the King Martial Realm First Heaven, you can’t possibly unleash the full power of the Immortal Celestial Saber!”

”But we are different! With my Cultivation at the King Martial Realm Sixth Heaven, I can unleash most of the Blood Wing Evil God Hook’s power. Let’s see how you’ll withstand that! Hahahaha!”
