“If you want to commit a crime, why not? I have never colluded with the Devil Cult, believe it or not. I’ve also never betrayed Di Yi, because it’s impossible to talk about betrayal. If Di Yi can be the Young Lord, why can’t I?”
The Red Desire Star Envoy snorted coldly, clenched his silver teeth, and continued to run forward.
In the previous encounter, although, the Red Lust Star Envoy had used his Illusion Technique to kill more than twenty experts of the Fish Dragon Realm, he was also struck by one of the green-clothed Star Envoy’s sword techniques, and the powerful sword qi erupted out, leaving seven sword wounds on the Red Lust Star Envoy’s body.
At this moment, blood kept gushing out from the wounds, soaking the red clothes and rolling downwards in a steady stream.
Every time the Red Desire Star Envoy rushed out forward, he would leave a red, bloody footprint on the ground, and the injuries on his body, too, were worsening.
“Stubborn.”
The green-clothed Star Envoy’s gaze was icy cold as he pinched his two fingers together to form a sword technique.
The green-clothed Star Envoy’s Sword Dao realm had already reached the Sword Mind, cultivating the Heart of Sword Intent, and naturally, she was also able to execute the Sword Royalty Technique. With her cultivation level of the Seventh Transformation of the Fish Dragon, she was even more capable of performing subtle sword moves through her imperial sword.
“Wow!”
A turquoise-coloured holy sword flew out from its scabbard, circled around in mid-air, and struck straight towards the Red Desire Star Envoy.
“Broken Heart Slaughter.”
The green-coloured ancient sword spun up sharply, the inscriptions on the sword body flickered continuously, emitting a powerful holy might as it pierced through the Red Lust Star Envoy’s vest and flew out through his forehead.
The Evil Dao cultivators around the Red Lust Star Envoy were all shocked, thinking that the Red Lust Star Envoy was already under the green-coloured Star Envoy’s sword.
“Wow!”
The Red Lust Star Envoy’s body, gradually dissipated, turning into a cloud of red smoke.
Ten feet away, another Red Desire Star Envoy’s body, reappeared and continued to flee forward rapidly.
The green-clothed Star Envoy retrieved his green-coloured ancient sword, his eyebrows furrowed, and he snorted coldly, “Another illusion.”
Although the green-clothed Star Envoy had a strong will, she was only able to resist the Red Desire Star Envoy’s Illusion Technique when her will was at its most focussed.
Thus, even though she was a Sacred Body, she was quite wary of the Red Lust Star Envoy.
If they were to fight alone, the Red Desire Star Envoy might not necessarily be better off losing to the Green Clothes Star Envoy, and perhaps, the Red Desire Star Envoy’s chances of winning, would be slightly greater.
However, right now, the Hunter was hiding in the shadows, assassinating multiple experts in a row, forcing the Red Desire Star Envoy to only bring the crowd forward to escape.
“Swish swish.”
Above the cliff face of the Quicksand Canyon, eight extremely fast figures appeared.
A group of Evil Dao cultivators wearing glazed bone armour and holding dragon bone spears leapt down from above the cliff walls on both sides of the canyon and landed at the bottom of the canyon, eight in number, standing neatly in a row.
The eight Evil Dao cultivators, all of them were Glazed Knight Generals, and the one with the lowest cultivation was also at the cultivation of the Fourth Change of the Fish Dragon.
One of the people standing at the front was the “Glazed Knight Commander”, who appeared to be in his forties, with a sharp gaze and a sturdy body, and his cultivation had reached the Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation.
“Red Desire Star Envoy, you colluded with the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult, triggering the infighting in the black market, committing a serious crime, why don’t you immediately bind your hands and capture me?”
The Glazed Knight Commander stood horizontally and released his true qi, immediately erupting with a powerful aura, as if he had transformed into a lofty mountain.
The Glazed Knight Commander and the seven Glazed Knight Generals, formed a bronze wall that completely blocked the entire Quicksand Canyon, cutting off the Red Desire Star Envoy’s path to continue escaping.
The evil cultivators on the Red Desire Star Envoy’s side had to stop.
“Liuli Knight Commander, Zhao Hanhu, why is he here as well?”
“Zhao Hanhu reached the Ninth Transformation of the Fish Dragon thirty years ago, his cultivation is unfathomable.”
With a strong enemy in front of them, pursuers behind them, and even a death-like top assassin in the shadows, even the mentally strong Fish Dragon Realm cultivators felt great despair.
The green-clothed star envoy, the hunter, Zhao Hanhu, which one of them wasn’t a top even evil big shot?
Today, where was the chance of surviving?
Shi Bu Chou clenched his fists and took three steps forward, blocking the Red Lust Star Envoy behind him, a look of desperation in his eyes as he said, “Lord Star Envoy, don’t worry about us, you leave first.”
The Red Desire Star Envoy looked at the twenty-six Evil Dao cultivators still following her, a large portion of them had suffered injuries of varying degrees, and only Shi Buqiao and Blood Cloud Patriarch Xu Hong still had the ability to fight.
With her current manpower, it was impossible to kill her way out of the siege.
The Red Desire Star Envoy had the holy decree on her body and was completely capable of escaping on her own.
However, after she escaped, the remaining twenty-six followers would definitely fall into Emperor Yi’s hands. With Emperor Yi’s ruthless methods, he would definitely make their lives worse than death, or even, woe to their families.
“Battle! Today, even if I die in Quicksand Canyon, I will never leave.”
The gaze of the Red Desire Star Envoy, gradually became firm, sticking the Crystal Saint Staff in the yellow sand, staring proudly at the distant Green Clothed Star Envoy, ready to fight to the death.
The cliff walls on both sides of the Quicksand Canyon were all hard yellow rocks, up to three hundred feet high, steep, flat, and from the bottom of the canyon looking upwards, one could only see the narrow night sky.
“Wow!”
In the mid-air above the canyon, a subtle sound resounded, and a semi-transparent silhouette manifested, both feet stepping on the void, his voice icy cold, “Patriarch, today, you have no way to escape, you can persuade the Red Desire Star Envoy to surrender and admit defeat, as long as she is willing to take the initiative to go and admit her faults to the Young Lord, with the Young Lord’s heart, she will surely be able to spare your lives.”
This person was the Blood Cloud Sect’s number one assassin, Hunter.
The evil cultivators around the Red Desire Star Envoy all raised their heads and looked upwards.
It wasn’t until now that they counted on seeing the Hunter’s figure.
The Hunter’s feet, stepping on a mass of hedging air currents, stood smoothly above the canyon, as if he were a god of death who dominated everyone’s lives, looking down.
With Orion’s strength, anyone who tried to escape from the sky above would, I’m afraid, be killed by him as well.
The Quicksand Canyon was like a cage, trapping everyone, all of them, inside.
Blood Cloud Patriarch Xu Hong stepped out and stared Avray at Orion, saying, ”Orion, being able to accept you as a disciple is this Patriarch’s greatest pride. However, woe is me, you can be loyal to the Young Lord, and I cannot betray Lord Red Desire Star Envoy, so you do not need to persuade me. Today, if I die in battle, you will be the new Sovereign of the Blood Cloud Sect.”
Huntress sank without saying another word.
Just as Xu Hong had said, they were each their own masters, and since they were on opposite sides, they could only fight to the death.
The green-clothed Star Envoy stared at the Red Desire Star Envoy and let out a cold snort as he said, “Ye Hongtear, I didn’t expect that you would be so stupid. Don’t you know that as long as you admit defeat and surrender, not only will you be able to continue living, but you will also be able to preserve the lives of this group of followers around you.”
The Red Desire Star Envoy sneered and said, “If you’re willing to be a dog beside Emperor Yi, you can’t force others to be dogs as well, can you? If I admit defeat and surrender, Emperor One will let me go? Don’t joke, do you really think I’m still a naive little girl?”
“Kill, leave no one behind.”
The green-clothed Star Envoy was very annoyed and once again pinched out his sword technique, powerful sword qi that erupted from the holy sword.
The sword qi was like a tidal wave as it flew towards the Red Desire Star Envoy, hitting the ground and the cliff walls on both sides, making a “snapping” sound and leaving behind a shocking sword mark.
At that moment, the hunter standing above the canyon, suddenly, sensed a huge energy. Thus, he raised his head and looked upwards.
Above the dome of the sky, a whimpering sound was emitted, and a huge electric fire vortex, fell down from above the clouds and rushed into the Quicksand Canyon.
The vortex of electricity and fire was constructed from lightning and flames, spinning non-stop as it rushed into the bottom of the canyon, completely entangling the seven Yeti warriors and the green-clothed Star Envoy.
“Crack!”
Dozens of bowl-thick lightning bolts weaved inside the vortex, erupting with a powerful destructive force.
One of the lightning bolts flew out and pierced through the abdomen of a snowman warrior, striking the cliff wall on the left side, emitting a loud “rumbling” sound and leaving behind a rocky crater with a diameter of ten feet.
No one expected that suddenly, someone would throw a third level spell of the lightning system, “Electricity and Fire Vortex”, into the Quicksand Canyon.
The vortex of electricity and fire grew bigger and bigger, forming a wild storm that caused the cliff walls on both sides of the canyon to collapse, burying the corpses of the Yeti warriors underneath the boulders.
“Break!”
The green-clothed Star Envoy mobilised his entire body’s true qi, stimulating the inscriptions in the green-coloured Holy Sword to the extreme, and fiercely stabbing forward, he instantly broke through the whirlpool of electricity and fire and escaped.
The whirlpool of electricity and fire lasted for a total of ten breaths before it gradually stopped.
A section of the Quicksand Canyon completely collapsed, and countless tiny electric lines still flowed in the canyon, emitting a “giggling” sound.
Four of the huge Yeti warriors died under the attack of the electric fire vortex, and even their bodies were buried by boulders.
The other three Yeti warriors also suffered heavy injuries and lay dying on the ground.
The sudden change caught everyone off guard.
Only the Red Desire Star Envoy’s face showed joy as he raised his head to look upwards and said, “The Great Protector has arrived!”
Zhang Ruochen, wearing a metal mask and a white suit, flew out from the clouds and hovered in the central position of the canyon, holding the Thunder Bead in one hand and one hand behind his back as he said, “Star Envoy, I’m not too late, am I?”
A smile finally appeared on the taut face of the Red Desire Star Envoy, saying, “If you were one step late, I’m afraid you would only be able to collect the corpse for this Star Envoy.”
“It’s good that you’re not late.”
Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment, then, taking out the Withered Wood Staff, he threw it downwards and tossed it to the Red Desire Star Envoy, saying, “This piece of gift, is from me to Lord Star Envoy.”
The Red Lust Star Envoy took the Withered Wood Staff and took a look at it, and immediately stared at it with wide eyes, revealing a look of astonishment as he said, “This is the Withered Wood Staff of the Ice Demon?”
“That’s right, the Ice Demon has already been killed by me, so of course the Deadwood Staff is to be offered to the Star Envoy.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Although the Deadwood Staff was a precious treasure, it was not suitable for Zhang Ruochen.
Instead of selling the Deadwood Staff for Spirit Crystals, it would be better to give it to the Red Lust Star Envoy as a way to return the favour of the Red Lust Star Envoy for sending him the Thunder Pearl.
From then on, he and the Red Desire Star Envoy would not owe each other anything.
