"Rights? Are you telling me about my rights?!"
Bai Hongyu sneered before she lifted her hands and summoned an enormous red seal in the air that descended upon Nangong Huang.
It was an Emperor Technique of the Bai clan, the Divine Bai Clan Seal!
The appearance of the seal released such majestic power that caused the grounds around Nangong Huang to crumble inwards.
"Is this the combat strength of an outlawed sky-pride?"
"Indeed, they cannot be underestimated!"
Nangong Huang was worried yet excited at the same time.
He proceeded to unsheathe the sword at his waist. Although the sword was only a Boundary Emperor Weapon, its Yin and Yang traits resonated well with Nangong Huang's Daoist Physique, Yinyang God-eye.
"Yinyang Flame!"
Nangong Huang unleashed a glorious sword ray that burned in a dual-colored flame of black and white.
The unstoppable sword ray sliced onto the Divine Bai Clan Seal.
A heavy explosion ensued as both Nangong Huang and Bai Hongyu's attacks imploded, causing many sky-prides to retreat.
Bai Hongyu's face sank.
Nangong Huang had managed to parry her attack!
"Looks like I've underestimated you. Even so, I wonder how long you can last."
Bai Hongyu grunted and began using her Fiery Dragon Phoenix Saber.
That was an Emperor Weapon!
Seeing that put the cultivators in awe.
An outlawed sky-pride was forced to use her Emperor Weapon against an ordinary sky-pride of the outside world. It seemed like Nangong Huang was an extraordinary cultivator.
He could not rival the outlaw sky-prides, but he was among one of the most powerful sky-prides.
"Heavenly Worship Saber Art!"
Bai Hongyu grunted and swung her swords downwards, unleashing a red sword shadow with her boundless spiritual powers!
The sword shadow made the celestial demons kneel instinctively and worship the Transformation!
Bai Hongyu's attack packed devastating damage. There were no doubts that any sky-prides weaker than the outlawed sky-prides would have perished under her attack.
However, Nangong Huang remained in place instead and leaped forward to unleash a tirade of spiritual powers with his tremoring long sword!
"Yinyang Thunder, Empyrean Destruction!"
Nangong Huang's Yinyang God-eye was spinning incessantly as he continuously channeled his energies into the longsword. White and black thunderbolts began to intertwine on the sword, radiating a terrifying energy wave.
As he swung his sword forward, the black and white thunderbolts fused into a relentless sword ray that greeted the incoming sword shadow!
The moment the sword ray and sword shadow collided, the surrounding mountains crumbled.
The impact blasted Nangong Huang away by several hundreds of meters, and his lips began to froth with blood. Bai Hongyu could not help but retreat several steps back as well. Her pretty face was now angrier, and her eyes were grimmer.
How did she not finish Nangong Huang off with her Emperor Weapon?!
She even noticed that the sky-prides around were staring cheekily at her as if doubting their abilities.
What was wrong with her? She was an outlawed sky-pride, yet she failed to finish a sky-pride from the outside world?
She might as well just quit her role.
Although the cultivators did not say anything, Bai Hongyu could tell their thoughts from the way they looked at her.
"Screw it! One more move to finish you off!"
Bai Hongyu was infuriated. Her Emperor Weapon once again radiated in a bright red color, and a dragon and a phoenix apparition began to dance around the blade. With that, a thick Emperor's Aura began to emanate. It was evident that Bai Hongyu was mustering all her strength to finish Nangong Huang off in the next move.
"Die!"
The power of the Fiery Dragon Phoenix Saber erupted, manifesting as a dragon and a phoenix apparition that charged towards Nangong Huang.
At that crucial moment, a fiery sword ray was discharged from one side, and a devastating frost qi exploded from the other. Each of them unleashed a wave of energy that respectively targeted the dragon and the phoenix.
The fiery and frost energies rained across the battlefield as it either froze or burned all the elements that were present.
Suddenly, Nangong Huang was flanked by a man on one side and a woman on the other.
"Murong Xuan, Qingxue!"
Nangong Huang stared at the duo in shock. They were his fellow Daoists of the Black Heaven Sect, Murong Xuan and Shang Qingxue.
"Hey, Nangong Huang, you look like you need some help."
Murong Xuan chuckled and said to Nangong Huang.
"That's an outlawed sky-pride over there. Did you challenge her?"
Nangong Huang pouted. It seemed like he still had some room for improvements before he could face an outlawed sky-pride.
Shang Qingxue rolled her eyes. "Are you two still bantering at this moment?"
She retrieved a green liquid and poured it into Nangong Huang's mouth.
A strong living force immediately awakened in Nangong Huang and healed most of Nangong Huang's injury. Even a large proportion of his spiritual powers were replenished.
"Fortunately, I still have some Wood Elemental Leyline Essences to spare."
Shang Qingxue said as she stared cautiously at the outlawed sky-prides in the air.
It was a tricky situation for them.
Facing one outlawed sky-pride was enough trouble, let alone a few who probably resented them.
"That's the Wood Elemental Leyline Essence. How are you related to Chu Kuangren?"
Bai Hongyu barked. Since the Wood Elemental Leyline Essence was a valuable resource, Chu Kuangren would definitely not share it with anyone not close to him.
"That's none of your business."
"Hmph, never mind then. I didn't want to kill anyone today, but you guys are surely irritable. Don't blame me for not holding back."
The blade on the Fiery Dragon Phoenix Saber began to glow brighter.
"It didn't seem like you were holding back anyway."
Murong Xuan sneered.
"Slay!"
Bai Hongyu grunted. Without another word, she concentrated her spiritual powers to unleash yet another saber ray.
Murong Xuan and the other Daoists joined forces in defending her attack.
The trio had encountered various Opportunities of Fortune across Emperor Road and had seen tremendous improvements in their abilities. As such, their combined power was not something Bai Hongyu could easily defeat in a short span.
This irritated Bai Hongyu even further.
After all, she had acquired many Opportunities of Fortune throughout the Forbidden Barren Wasteland and had drastically improved her abilities.
Bai Hongyu had initially planned to challenge Chu Kuangren to a fight.
However, she now realized that she could not even defeat three of Chu Kuangren's disciples. How was she supposed to put up a fight with Chu Kuangren?!
The more she thought about it, the angrier Bai Hongyu became, which reflected in her increasingly unforgiving attacks.
The majestic saber rays accompanied by the frightening sword shadows formed an incessant display over the realm.
Murong Xuan swung his sword around and unleashed a series of fiery sword rays that could burn the fabrics of this realm apart. His cultivation had surprisingly reached the level of a Boundary Emperor. Coupled with his formidable Emperor Techniques and high spiritual power quality, Murong Xuan could put on a tough fight even against the more outstanding Boundary Emperors.
Shang Qingxue was no weaker too. Ever since she acquired the resources of Heavenly Pool Mountain, her Daoist Physique had been elevated to a Supreme Daoist Physique, allowing her to unleash terrifying frost qi.
The frost qi came like the tide, one sweep after another.
Her attack patterns could put even the most remarkable Boundary Emperors on high alert.
Nangong Huang's Yinyang God-eye spun as he transferred his spiritual powers into his sword rays.
The trio fought Bai Hongyu in an intense battle. At that moment, the Daoists seemed like they were inching closer to victory.
The crowd could clearly deduce that Bai Hongyu would have been defeated by now if not for her Emperor Weapon.
"Hmph, what an embarrassment to the outlawed sky-prides."
The Sword Daoist snorted and attacked.
He lifted his hand and unfurled three beams of sword rays that forced the Daoists to retreat.
The Sword Daoist leaped forward and landed just in front of them, unleashing an explosion of Sword-based Daoist Rhymes so powerful that almost suffocated the trio.
Although the Sword Daoist was also an outlawed sky-pride just like Bai Hongyu, the former was far more powerful than the latter.
"Three attacks! If you can survive three of my sword attacks, I'll let all of you go!"
The Sword Daoist said triumphantly.
"Oh, why don't you test those attacks on me then?"
A clear voice resonated through the realm.
Then, the horizon shone with a majestic aura.
