Everyone's Defenses Shattered, Aurora Divine Wind Claw!

The group in the carriage swiftly charged into Three Gorges Pass.

But after traveling some distance inside, the horses suddenly grew restless beyond control!

The driver struggled with all his might before pulling the carriage back under control.

Yu Xiaogang looked up, his voice quiet. "What is that smell?"

A strange odor permeated the pitch-black gorge.

The soldiers, having spent years in the military, recognized it at once.

"This is... fire oil! There's an ambush! Move, now!!!"

His thunderous shout drew everyone's attention.

But amid the panic, they immediately fell into disarray.

Flender wanted to step forward and take command.

But...

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Three deafening crashes rang out as three massive boulders rolled down from the mountaintops, sealing Three Gorges Pass completely!

Both ends were blocked off. The three carriages were trapped together, while the soldiers behind them were cut off!

Xiong Ao rose at once and threw his torch downward.

"Light it!"

A rain of arrows descended in an instant, every arrowhead flickering with sparks!

The feathered arrows struck the fire oil, turning the entire gorge into a blazing inferno!

The soldiers at the rear did not even have anywhere to hide!

The surrounding rocks also came tumbling down under the intense heat!

Zhao Wuji raised a defensive barrier and roared, "The people up there intend to burn us to death, and bury the survivors alive!"

Flender's voice suddenly rang out. "Hold on first! I'll take Master and Tang San out of here!"

Dai Yunzhao, standing atop the gorge, smiled faintly.

"Oh? Tang San came too?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Dai Mubai, who had long since fallen to the ground, raised his head.

Dai Mubai stared fixedly at that slender figure.

The gold robes with crimson-trimmed wide sleeves he had once favored had now been replaced by martial attire with gold trim over red.

The wheelchair that had once accompanied him was nowhere to be seen.

Yet he could never forget that figure.

"Dai Yunzhao!!!"

Dai Yunzhao smiled and waved. "Third Brother, long time no see."

Dai Yunzhao gestured to those beside him.

"My third brother is greeting me. Why aren't you adding a little more?"

Rolling stones and logs came crashing down from the mountaintop. The people below could not hold out for long.

Cries of agony filled the air!

Until three beams of light suddenly burst forth.

The third carriage exploded, and three figures emerged from within.

The instant they appeared, every feathered arrow was blocked outside.

All three were Soul Douluos!

The leader raised his head and looked at Dai Yunzhao. "You villain who would murder his own brother! How dare you do this?!"

Dai Yunzhao was equally surprised when he saw the other man's Martial Soul.

"So it's the Black Demon Martial Soul. The chief of Heaven Dou Royal Academy—my apologies, my apologies!"

The Martial Souls of the three Soul Douluos below were fully revealed.

The chief, Meng Shenji, possessed the Black Demon Martial Soul.

The second seat, Bai Baoshan, possessed the Heavenly Star Furnace Martial Soul.

The third seat, Zhilin, possessed the Azure Vine Martial Soul.

They were precisely the three members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Education Committee.

The Heaven Dou Emperor truly feared Dai Yunzhao taking that seat.

Dai Yunzhao's voice rang out. "Listen to yourself. You sent him back to kill me, yet you won't allow me to kill him?"

Flender's voice turned icy. "If you have the ability, fight fairly! What kind of skill is setting an ambush on the road?!"

"Of course it's a skill in the art of war. Are you stupid? He gets to rely on Star Luo and all of you, but I'm not allowed to use strategy? Are you brain-dead?" Dai Yunzhao picked at his ear and smiled carelessly.

The young man whose Blue Silver Grass was being continually burned away was also dodging and weaving through the flames.

Tang San!

"You despicable wretch, I see you already have a path to death!" Tang San said indignantly.

Dai Yunzhao clicked his tongue and laughed. "Who did I think it was? Isn't this the traitor who stole the Tang Sect's inner sect techniques? The Tang Sect raised you and taught you, only to produce a thief. You brought shame to Shu!"

"A person like you dares speak to me of being despicable?"

"What? You use the Purple Demon Eye and the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, yet your conscience is clear? Did they tell you to come here and spread them far and wide?"

"You were a thief for one lifetime, and you're a thief for two! I can't be bothered reasoning with you. You don't deserve to hear it!"

Tang San froze for a moment.

He had never expected anyone to know the details of his past life.

In his pupils, the young man's figure grew larger and larger.

Until a flicker of firelight flashed past...

Boom!

The falling boulders gave him no chance to hesitate and sent him flying!

Tang San, blasted away, clutched his head with both hands.

"No! I'm not a thief! I'm not, I'm not!!!"

"I did it for the Tang Sect. I had absolutely no selfish motives, none! I already returned everything I learned to the Tang Sect!"

Dai Yunzhao coldly delivered the finishing blow. "Then what are you cultivating now?"

Tang San raised his head and opened his mouth, but no words came out. Instead, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yu Xiaogang hurried forward to support Tang San, his voice icy. "If you dare hurt my disciple, I'll destroy you!"

Dai Yunzhao smiled faintly.

"Destroy me? With you, a piece of trash not even at level thirty?"

Yu Xiaogang was stunned.

How did this Dai Yunzhao know everything?

Yu Xiaogang could only drag Tang San back behind the others.

His eyes were filled with hatred!

Tang San, meanwhile, looked at Dai Yunzhao with fear.

Why did he know everything?

Who exactly was he?!

Flender hurriedly stepped in front of them both.

"Little San is pure of character, and Xiaogang is a master of theory. What right do you have to insult them?"

Dai Yunzhao covered his nose and waved a hand.

"Don't come out here talking, you cuckold. You willingly handed the woman you loved over to your good brother."

"And you still trail behind them like a pathetic puppy. When they're going at it, do you even have to give them a push?"

Flender, who had been preparing to unleash his Martial Soul Avatar, nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yu Xiaogang also stared at Flender in utter disbelief.

Flender gritted his teeth as well.

"Xiaogang, I'll give you an explanation. For now, let's break out first!"

They were all talking nonsense!

But...

At that moment, a figure swiftly shot upward!

The Black Demon Martial Soul allowed Meng Shenji to rapidly vanish into darkness and move through it.

He had already reached Dai Yunzhao!

"Young brat, didn't your teacher tell you not to be so ruthless?"

Dai Yunzhao's lips curved upward. "You old bastard, your father is teaching you a lesson today: if I dared come, I'm not afraid of you!"

From the shadow beneath Meng Shenji, a burly suit of black armor suddenly lunged forth.

Aurora Divine Wind Claw!!!

Shadow's Aurora Divine Wind Claw had now reached Lv15!

During the final battle, aside from the three War Kings and Blue Poison Beast, only Purple Dragon Beast of the Machine Beast Race had reached Lv18.

Golden Iron Beast was originally an exceptionally powerful race. The finishing move he unleashed now overwhelmed Meng Shenji's sneak attack!

Boom!!!

A streak of golden light flashed, intercepting Meng Shenji's attack!

The black armor and golden light in his eyes rapidly grew larger!

He sensed the aura of death.

At that very moment, a Heavenly Star Furnace abruptly rose before him!

Boom!!!!

The Aurora Divine Wind Claw slammed into the Heavenly Star Furnace!

The Heavenly Star Furnace shattered instantly, but Meng Shenji seized the opportunity to retreat rapidly.

An Azure Vine also wrapped around his body!

Shadow suddenly turned in midair. "I never miss."

A cloud of black mist spread out and wrapped around Meng Shenji!
