“Who dares to insult this saint?” questioned Di Ganming furiously.
As someone who had cultivated for so many years, his patience was supposed to be far beyond a normal person’s. As a Great Saint, he stood at the peak of humanity. However, even a God would find such an insult unbearable. When he looked at the source of the voice, he saw three people calmly heading toward them.
The three did not look like they were from the same generation. The one who had spoken was a red-haired middle-aged man with a sturdy body and domineering presence. The bright look in his pair of eyes gave off a feeling that he was old yet unyielding. The second person looked to be at the prime of his life, about 30 years old, to be precise. He had a fiendish look in his eyes while the powers of yin and yang swirled around his body, giving him an extraordinary bearing.
The youngest of the three was a purple-haired youth. He was extremely handsome, looking like a teenager who had just left his home to wander the world. However, his eyes were incomparably deep, as though an entire world was hidden within them, giving off a profound sensation.
The three were none other than Scarlet Flame Monarch, Devouring Ghost, and Purple Lightning Marquis. They had immediately noticed Di Batian’s arrival. However, they had taken their own sweet time to show themselves because they wanted to see how the sect would handle itself in times of emergency.
In any case, they knew the sect’s defensive formation well. The formation had not only been strengthened by Xiang Shaoyun but also by Purple Lightning Marquis. Nobody below the Rebirth Realm could hope to break it.
Scarlet Flame Monarch replied, “Who do you think you are? Not only am I going to insult you, but I’m going to burn you alive as well.”
“Where did this old dog come from? Why is he barking here?” berated a Saint behind Di Ganming.
Immediately, a gust of wind rushed toward the Saint at a speed nobody could react to and struck the Saint’s face.
Pa!
The slap sent the Saint flying away while coughing blood. Nobody could see how the attack had arrived, not even Di Ganming. All of them were shocked.
“His mouth stinks,” said Scarlet Flame Monarch coldly. “I don’t care where you come from. Today, none of you are leaving alive.”
He then took a step forward and spread his palm, instantly unleashing a sea of flame toward Di Ganming.
“Great Saint!” Di Ganming exclaimed in alarm when he sensed Scarlet Flame Monarch’s aura.
None of them had imagined that a tiny Ziling Sect would have a Great Saint. Generally, only tier-8 organizations would have Great Saints. After the recent civil war within the Ziling Sect, how had they obtained a Great Saint?
“So what if you’re a Great Saint? Let me see what you’re made of!” said Di Ganming. He was no coward. With a roar, he charged Scarlet Flame Monarch.
As a Great Saint himself, Di Ganming feared no one. A fiery dragon coiled around him as a domineering flame energy collided against Scarlet Flame Monarch’s sea of flame. The collision between two Great Saints instantly created a massive explosion that shattered space around it.
Di Batian and the others retreated far away. While retreating, Di Batian transmitted to Di Batian, “Looks like Xiang Shaoyun had left a lot of trump cards behind. Watch your back.”
“Don’t worry, Father. I’ll be careful,” replied Di Lin.
Di Batian had suffered repeated defeats in Xiang Shaoyun’s hands. Now that even a Great Saint had appeared, his confidence was wavering.
“Why are we retreating? We should get rid of the other two people before taking down the entire Ziling Sect,” said Di Mie.
“There is no rush, prince. I believe Lord Ganming will be able to defeat this opponent. It’s not too late to deal with the others then,” said Di Chuan.
“What a surprise. This puny Ziling Sect actually hides so many trump cards. I really wonder why they are willing to stay and serve an organization like the Ziling Sect. If they can serve us instead, that would be great for our clan,” said Di Mie with a sigh.
“Don’t worry, prince. After Lord Ganming arrests that fellow, we can make them submit to us,” said Di Chuan.
“Big brother, they are thinking of making us submit,” said Devouring Ghost with a sneer.
Were these people, with their strength, actually thinking of turning them into followers? These people were truly big dreamers!
“Who cares what they think? I’m worried about the overlord,” said Purple Lightning Marquis.
“The overlord will be fine,” said Devouring Ghost confidently.
“I hope so. After this is over, I’ll take a trip to the Heavenly Snow Mountain,” said Purple Lightning Marquis with an anxious look.
From the recording, they saw that Xiang Shaoyun had encountered an unprecedented crisis. He couldn’t stop worrying. For them, it did not matter if Xiang Shaoyun was a devil. Their overlord would still be their overlord even if he was a devil.
“Shall we make a move as well then?” asked Devouring Ghost, who was also becoming worried.
“It won’t make that much of a difference. Scarlet Flame is almost back at his peak. Let him have a proper warmup,” said Purple Lightning Marquis.
At this time, Scarlet Flame Monarch and Di Ganming had flown high up in the air while fighting. Like a monarch of all flames, Scarlet Flame Monarch was constantly surrounded by a sea of flame. The powerful flame energy spread in all directions, threatening to torch the entire world.
As a Great Saint, Di Ganming was naturally no weakling. The fiery dragon before him roared without stopping, attacking with a might to shatter everything in its path. As the two clashed, the entire sky turned bright red. All the Ziling Sect members were stunned.
A battle of this level was akin to the clash of deities for them. This was the level of strength they yearned to possess. After repeated collisions, the fiery dragon was finally swallowed by the sea of flame. It had failed to overturn the sea it was faced with.
A terrifying palm imprint appeared on Di Ganming’s chest. His blood had been spilled, but he had yet to suffer a full defeat. A halberd appeared in his hand as he roared, “For forcing me to use this weapon, you can die proud.”
Fiery Dragon Torches The Sky!
Yet another fiery dragon formed before Di Ganming. This dragon was much larger than before. As it trashed about, the sea of flame started scattering. Just as the sea of flame was about to completely fade away, several chains appeared and chained the fiery dragon down. A counterattack had appeared!
