Chapter 351: Chapter 350: Demon Way Giant _1
What is the Martial Arts Monument?
It is a peculiar object controlling the Five Nations Dragon Veins, related to the lifeblood and destiny of the entire Martial World. If it falls into the hands of the Demonic Sect, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous blow to the Righteous Martial World.
For many years, the Righteous Martial World has been able to suppress the Demon Way precisely because of the Martial Arts Monument’s existence. Each Martial World Conference fosters numerous talents who become the hope for the Martial World’s next generation. If the Martial Arts Monument were taken away, the Martial World Conference’s influence would inevitably decrease significantly.
"We must not let them take the Martial Arts Monument!"
"If the Martial Arts Monument is taken away, the fate of the Five Kingdoms will fall into the hands of the Demonic Sect, and the Martial World will be plunged into catastrophe!"
A group of young warriors, filled with righteous indignation, were eager to rush up immediately and fight to the death with Sikong Yi and other Demonic Cult Leaders.
"Everyone, calm down. The Martial Arts Monument is a peculiar object used to suppress the Dragon Veins. How can it be so easily moved?"
At this point, Sky Thunder Wandering Cultivator’s voice resonated through the venue. His words immediately calmed the crowd.
Yes, the Martial Arts Monument is used to suppress the Five Nations Dragon Veins. Its position cannot be moved at will.
"Hehe, conventional methods are indeed ineffective."
Sikong Yi smiled faintly, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes. "However, do you think I would come unprepared?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Youzhen and the other major figures of the Righteous Martial World felt a sense of foreboding.
"Attack!"
Sikong Yi waved his hand in the air. From behind him, an elder in black with a stern face stepped forward. The elder’s face was expressionless, but his eyes were bright and sharp, exuding an intense aura.
The elder carried a black longbow on his back, engraved with ancient black runes. This longbow was clearly no ordinary item. Its aura was overwhelmingly formidable, surpassing well-known items in Jianghu, and it was evidently a peculiar object.
"It’s a Sacred Object of the Demon Cult, the Sad Bow!"
Some knowledgeable Jianghu knights recognized the black longbow’s origin and exclaimed in surprise.
"The Sad Bow and the Ruthless Arrow are the weapons of the Demon Cult’s renowned Heartbroken Elder. He is *the* Heartbroken Elder!"
Which Demonic Cult Leader at the Sky Apex Realm wasn’t a famous figure in Jianghu? The Heartbroken Elder was one of them. This man had been famous for a long time, far longer than Sikong Yi.
The Heartbroken Elder seemed unmoved by the crowd’s exclamations. He took the black longbow from his back and aimed at the center of the venue. With a WHOOSH, the arrow in his hand shot out violently.
The black arrow, like a meteor, streaked through the sky and slammed into the center of the Dueling Platform, gouging out a huge pit.
In the pit, a huge Array Stone emerged.
"This is..."
When everyone glimpsed the huge Array Stone in the pit, their faces turned pale. Although no one knew the Array Stone’s purpose, they could clearly feel a formidable aura emanating from it. This aura, like a spreading poison, quickly permeated the entire Martial World Conference venue.
"Out of my great compassion, I shall tell you: this object is an Array Stone."
Behind Sikong Yi, another grim-faced middle-aged man appeared. The man had sharp eyebrows and twinkling eyes, which should have made him handsome, but his pointed chin and fox-like face gave people an uncomfortable feeling.
"The entire Martial World Conference venue is now covered by the Four-sided Demonic Formation. All of you will die here!"
The grim-faced man sneered, his intimidating smile quickly spreading throughout the venue.
As his voice fell, the ground within the venue suddenly trembled. Large, black cracks appeared, spreading in all directions.
Wisps of demonic smoke billowed out from the cracks in the ground.
Ah!
These tendrils of demonic smoke evidently contained toxins that could make people lose their sanity. Once inhaled, everyone became extremely agitated, as if on the verge of madness.
"Everyone, hold your breath! Quickly, take a Detoxification Pill!" Lu Youzhen shouted, witnessing the drastic changes around them.
"Haha, it’s too late! The Martial Arts Monument is already ours for the taking!"
The grim-faced middle-aged man laughed heartily. The next moment, a series of explosions erupted in the conference hall. Numerous people suddenly threw Hidden Weapons, attacking their nearby companions. Screams immediately echoed throughout.
At the same time, Sikong Yi and the other Demonic Cult Leaders suddenly mounted their flying Exotic Beasts and swooped towards the Martial Arts Monument.
"Oh no! Protect the Martial Arts Monument!"
Lu Youzhen and Sky Thunder Wandering Cultivator’s expressions changed drastically. With a flash, they appeared before the Martial Arts Monument.
"Courting death!"
A chilling intent flashed through Sikong Yi’s eyes as he launched a punch. Instantly, vast True Qi transformed into a colossal Black Dragon, descending from the sky.
"Benevolent King Shield!"
Facing the descending Black Dragon, Shentu Yan stepped forward, channeling his vast True Qi into his palms. He then gathered it all in front of him, transforming it into a Silver True Qi Giant Shield.
BAM!
The Black Dragon plummeted like thunder, crashing into the Silver True Qi Giant Shield and instantly cracking it.
The moment Sikong Yi’s fist struck, the Heartbroken Elder had already nocked an arrow. Pulling his black longbow to its full draw, SWOOSH, a Ruthless Arrow shot out.
THUD!
The Ruthless Arrow struck Shentu Yan’s True Qi Giant Shield, instantly shattering it completely. Shentu Yan himself coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood and stumbled back dozens of meters.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
The instant Shentu Yan stumbled back, Lu Youzhen and Sky Thunder Wandering Cultivator charged forward, simultaneously launching attacks towards Sikong Yi and the grim-faced middle-aged man in mid-air.
After dispersing their attacks, a hint of mockery touched Sikong Yi’s lips. Suddenly, two figures emerged from behind him, one in black and one in white. The white-clad figure was smiling, tall and thin, with a deathly pale face. His official hat bore the inscription: "Prosperity At First Sight."
The black-clad figure had a ferocious appearance; he was broad, stout, short, and dark-skinned. His official hat bore the inscription: "World Peace." The auras of both figures were very similar, undoubtedly at the Sky Apex Realm!
"Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu! They are the Demon Cult’s Black and White Holy Envoys!"
Sky Thunder Wandering Cultivator’s expression changed drastically.
As the Black and White Holy Envoys appeared, they moved like two phantoms, stealthily approaching the Martial Arts Monument. They took out a string of gunpowder charges and threw them beneath the Martial Arts Monument. Then, they simultaneously attempted to lift the monument from the ground.
Streaks of Black True Qi seeped from their palms into the Martial Arts Monument.
ROAR!
Suddenly, a world-shaking dragon’s roar echoed from within the Martial Arts Monument. An immense, earthen-yellow Giant Dragon shadow emerged from the monument, its presence awe-inspiring.
BOOM! BOOM!
As the earthen-yellow Giant Dragon shadow appeared, its massive tail swept out, striking both Black and White Holy Envoys. They were sent flying, spitting blood.
A terrifying Dragon’s Majesty instantly engulfed the entire conference hall.
