"Are you all thinking that I'll have outside help behind me? Like those Four Saints Guard who suddenly became King Level?"
The White Tiger gazed at the two of them with a sinister look.
Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird exchanged glances, their eyes filled with doubt. They had indeed not discovered any trace of anyone else.
It was indeed unbelievable that the Four Saints Guard had suddenly become so strong, but in any case, such a surge in strength meant that their control over their physical energy was unstable. Each of them looked like a volcano about to erupt, making it impossible for them to hide and lurk nearby.
So, it really was just this bastard all by himself?
What does she mean? What does she want to do?
White Tiger didn't give his opponent much time to think before quickly drawing his sword from his waist.
"Many years ago, you made me succeed the White Tiger Star Lord. At that time, I thought that my abilities had been recognized by you, and that you would finally stop caring about my background. After that, whenever there was a war, I was the first one to be mobilized. At that time, I could understand it. The White Tiger is in charge of war and military affairs, which is my duty. But time and time again, I was the one who fought the battles, but when it came to distributing the credit, just like now, you let other star lords rea the benefits. You do it without any regard for the consequences. Do you really think I can never turn my life around?"
"You mean, you can turn things around now?" The Vermilion Bird, dressed in red, stepped forward, a mocking smile on her face. "You still know you came from humble beginnings? Someone like you, to be able to enter the Heavenly Palace, you must have accumulated countless blessings. Think about it all these years, what happened to those great demons of your level from beyond the heavens? You're truly an ungrateful wretch."
"What will your fate be?" White Tiger chuckled coldly. "If it weren't for me leading the charge, would you dare to hunt in the outer heavens? With your two weaklings' personalities..."
Vermilion Bird's expression immediately turned cold upon hearing this. "Stubborn and unyielding, it seems there's indeed no need to keep him alive. Your Majesty's judgment was indeed accurate."
"He was right?" White Tiger burst into laughter. "He was right that this place would look like this?"
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Ziwei asked this time.
Although she didn't think the White Tiger posed any threat, she still felt uneasy. If they could negotiate, she really didn't want to fight.
"What I want to say is that I will let that old man in heaven know how ridiculous his behavior has been all these years, blindly favoring his own people and raising such useless people."
"It seems Chen Qing has given you a lot of confidence!" Azure Dragon said quietly.
"No need for probing!" White Tiger pointed his longsword at the opponent. "Dealing with you, I don't need any confidence. Do you think you can definitely beat me two against one? Then try it."
This woman.
Both of them looked on with suspicion. The White Tiger was definitely not in good condition right now. Would it really dare to challenge them in this situation?
" Vermilion Bird, this is your home ground. You will be the one to fight. Azure Dragon, be careful to protect the Dharma. The Heavenly Court's grand formation must not be compromised!" Ziwei solemnly reminded her.
"Oh, so that's what you were planning." Vermilion Bird sneered, took a step forward, and as her spiritual power erupted, a crimson flame enveloped her entire body.
The terrifying heat was so intense that even the surrounding air began to melt.
"You think you're so confident just because I'm fighting you alone? Today I'll show you. Your so-called fighting prowess is nothing but wishful thinking in the minds of you lowly people."
With a flick of his finger, Vermilion Bird conjured a powerful flame into a spear in his hand. The flames erupted instantly, and combined with the surrounding active fire elements, the overwhelming momentum created a stark contrast to White Tiger's calm and collected sword drawing.
Despite such imposing power, the White Tiger's expression remained unchanged, still bearing a cold smile.
"A barking dog doesn't bite. It's not like whoever makes the most noise is the most powerful." As soon as White Tiger finished speaking, his figure was already in front of Vermilion Bird. His speed was unbelievable, causing Vermilion Bird, who had just been confidently sneering, to freeze in shock.
At this distance, the spear was no longer within the effective range of his spear, forcing him to barely defend himself using only the butt of the spear.
In this panic, the earth-shattering momentum just now froze. However, the White Tiger, which had seemed to have little momentum until now, suddenly erupted with momentum. As the main star of the battle, its momentum accumulated over the years was extraordinary. Once it erupted, although it was not as earth-shattering as the Vermilion Bird, its killing intent was so terrifying that it made the Azure Dragon and the Vermilion Bird change their expressions.
That pure killing intent, combined with precise swordsmanship and a keen sense of timing, clearly indicates a rather pragmatic person.
At that moment, even Vermilion Bird himself understood why the other party was so confident. If he wasn't careful, this guy might really kill him!
This sense of unease soon came true. The weapon in White Tiger's hand gathered powerful wind force, which was continuously compressed and emitted a dazzling blue light, even swirling the surrounding space into a ball.
With a single slash, the power of the flaming spear in Vermilion Bird's hand was also drawn into it!
"Oh no!!"
Vermilion Bird immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Only now you've realized it?" White Tiger sneered. "But then again, it's normal not to realize it yet. In all these years, how many times have you fought against experts of the same level? How many times have you used your own strength? Every time you've sparred with your sycophantic subordinates, haven't you? You don't even understand the principle of elemental interactions, yet you dare to accept a challenge. All these years of pampered life have certainly spoiled your brain!"
"You"
Vermilion Bird was immediately filled with shock and rage, but there was absolutely nothing he could do to stop it.
It is said that wind fanns fire, and people subconsciously believe that fire is the nemesis of wind. However, they never thought that wind can both fan and extinguish fire, and that whoever controls the wind actually holds absolute control.
Ziwei saw this and her face turned deathly pale.
This is indeed a matter of combat experience. White Tiger did not show the wind at the beginning in order not to fuel the fire at the start, otherwise it would become increasingly difficult to fight. She chose to enter when the opponent was most confident. When the blades clashed, even if she used the wind to increase the fire, it would have no effect, because at this point, the outcome was already decided!
"Stop!!"
Azure Dragon, seeing this, dared not stand idly by any longer and hurriedly made a strong move. Of course, he could not watch Vermilion Bird die at the hands of his opponent. He had not expected that Vermilion Bird, whose strength and condition were superior to White Tiger's, would fall into a state of defeat in an instant. He had never underestimated this guy, but he did not expect the gap to be so large!
The powerful heavenly lightning struck down, clearly intended to force the White Tiger back.
But the White Tiger didn't care about the lightning bolt in the sky at all. The long sword in his hand carried a terrifying wind force compressed to the extreme. The suction force formed completely deformed the spear in the Vermilion Bird's hand. After a flash of green light, the Vermilion Bird had no time to retreat and was beheaded!
"You beast!!" The Azure Dragon's eyes widened in fury, but it was clearly too late to stop it. The lightning bolt struck down, but stopped abruptly three zhang above the White Tiger's head!
