The sky gradually darkened, the north wind howled, and the world was filled with a solemn, killing atmosphere!
The square was already cordoned off, with no outsiders allowed to approach. Dozens of Brahma Kingdom's war department SUVs quickly filled the vast entrance plaza.
Immediately, a thin, emaciated old man wearing black monk robes, but exuding immense power, alighted from a vehicle.
This dark-complexioned old man with blue eyes from the Brahma Kingdom was the current Guardian Heavenly King of the Brahma Sect, holding a position second only to the Brahma Sect Leader!
Xiao Yunlong stood tall and straight on the steps. With just a glance, he discerned the opponent's martial cultivation: a peak Xiantian Zhenyuan realm expert, with surging vital energy and profound Zhenyuan.
"Indeed, he is worthy of being the Brahma Kingdom's Guardian Heavenly King. Such a powerful expert is fully comparable to the sect leaders of the Wen Tian Pavilion!"
Xiao Yunlong mused inwardly. If it weren't for his fortuitous encounter with the Art of Three Thousand Divine Kingdoms and his subsequent cultivation to a certain level, he would have been no match for this man!
Behind the Guardian Heavenly King followed a Guardian Dharma King, as well as four Guardian Elders. Additionally, there were numerous other experts at the Huajin Grandmaster level, and the majority of the rest were ordinary Brahma Sect disciples.
However, even the ordinary disciples were basically at the Xiantian Minor Grandmaster level. For ordinary people, this level could be considered that of a master. It was evident that the Brahma Sect had mobilized nearly half of its strong forces for this occasion.
"Who are you to dare obstruct us? Are you not afraid of death?" The Brahma Kingdom's Guardian Heavenly King, surrounded by several powerful figures, approached directly.
"I am the Northern King of the Dragon Country, Xiao Beiwang!" Xiao Yunlong stated calmly, remaining rooted to the spot like an unmovable mountain.
"You are Xiao Beiwang? You are the one who killed our Brahma Kingdom's Guardian Dharma King?"
The Guardian Heavenly King instantly became enraged, his dark face sinking.
"As the Brahma Kingdom's Guardian Dharma King, he trespassed into our Dragon Country's Southern Border camp. He deserved to die, and his death is not to be regretted!" Xiao Yunlong said coldly.
"Good, good, good!" The Brahma Kingdom's Guardian Heavenly King uttered three "good"s consecutively, gritting his teeth. "I originally planned to flatten Guiyun Ridge first and then settle accounts with you. I never expected you to deliver yourself to my doorstep. Since that's the case, it saves me an extra trip!"
"Today, I am determined to take your head back to the Brahma Kingdom and place it on the offering table in our Brahma Sect's main hall!"
The Guardian Heavenly King's tone was venomous and filled with intense killing intent. Although he didn't know why this Xiao Beiwang had appeared here, it was of no importance to him.
"A mere Brahma Kingdom Guardian Heavenly King dares to lead his disciples to invade our Dragon Country. Today, all Brahma Sect disciples present shall die. The land and dignity of our Dragon Country will not be trampled upon by other nations!"
After speaking, Xiao Yunlong waved his hand and declared, "Kill them all! Show no mercy!"
Before his words had even finished, Xiao Yunlong himself charged towards the Brahma Kingdom's Guardian Heavenly King. Mid-air, he directly activated sixty Divine Kingdoms within his body.
The potent force of the Divine Kingdoms instantly permeated outwards, even forming a powerful aura around Xiao Yunlong.
"Although you are strong, you are still young after all. How strong can you truly be!"
The Brahma Kingdom's Guardian Heavenly King sneered lightly, tapped his foot, and leaped into the air.
As a Xiantian Zhenyuan realm expert, he not only possessed profound mastery of martial arts techniques but also that his Xiantian Zhenyuan was absolutely incomparable to Xiantian Zhenqi. In fact, they were not even on the same level.
To draw an analogy, if martial arts techniques unleashed with Xiantian Zhenqi had the power equivalent to arrows shot in ancient times, then the power unleashed by Xiantian Zhenyuan would be comparable to the power of modern pistol bullets.
"Die!" The Guardian Heavenly King surged with Xiantian Zhenyuan, unleashing a palm strike in mid-air.
It appeared to be a simple palm strike, but as it was unleashed, the palm force surged forward like a mountain collapsing and the sea roaring, instantly reaching Xiao Yunlong, threatening to engulf him.
Seeing this, the Guardian Heavenly King couldn't help but grin triumphantly. He was extremely confident in his Zhenyuan palm strike, as even profound experts at the Xiantian Zhenqi realm could not withstand it, let alone this immature brat before him.
However, the very next moment, this Brahma Kingdom Guardian Heavenly King realized he was wrong, and terribly wrong!
At this moment, Xiao Yunlong made no move to block, nor did he counterattack. The mighty and overbearing palm force, like a surging tide, swept towards him but could not even break through his Divine Kingdom protective aura.
At this moment, Xiao Yunlong was like a speedboat, effortlessly gliding over the opponent's tidal palm force, giving the impression of riding the wind and breaking the waves.
"This... How is this possible!" The Guardian Heavenly King's face changed drastically, unable to believe what he was seeing.
His palm strike, unleashed with all his might, a powerful force capable of splitting rocks, could not even penetrate the opponent's protective aura. How could this not shock him!
"Take this palm strike from me too!" Xiao Yunlong said with a deep, cold shout as he unleashed a palm strike.
The palm force, imbued with the mighty power of the Divine Kingdoms, roared like a dragon and charged towards the opponent like a fierce tiger descending from a mountain.
"Not good..."
The Brahma Kingdom's Guardian Heavenly King finally snapped out of his extreme shock. In a hasty move, he could only unleash a punch to defend himself.
However, even as a super expert at the Xiantian Zhenyuan realm, he was no match for Xiao Yunlong, who had activated the power of fifty Divine Kingdoms.
His fist strike was instantly annihilated, and the Guardian Heavenly King himself was sent flying by Xiao Yunlong's terrifying palm force. As he tumbled through the air, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was heavily injured by just one exchange, which demonstrated the immense power of Xiao Yunlong!
"Kill!" Xiao Yunlong, without hesitation, shot out like an arrow, instantly appearing before the opponent.
"No, don't kill me! I am the Brahma Kingdom's Guardian Heavenly..." The Guardian Heavenly King cried out in terror, his face turning extremely pale.
Xiao Yunlong, however, had no patience to listen. What was the Brahma Kingdom's Guardian Heavenly King? If he dared to invade the Dragon Country, even the Brahma Sect Leader himself would have to die.
Furthermore, Xiao Yunlong saw that the current battle situation was not favorable to his side. The opponent had also dispatched a Guardian Dharma King and four Guardian Elders, while in the Southern Border camp, only the elder Meng San was presentable.
Although Meng San could offer some resistance, he was clearly struggling and completely suppressed by his opponent, facing constant danger. This situation could not last long.
Moreover, Zhuge Wushuang and Tu Fu were also struggling against the Brahma Kingdom's Guardian Elders. Therefore, Xiao Yunlong had to quickly finish off this so-called Guardian Heavenly King and then go to assist others, otherwise, his side would suffer heavy casualties.
With almost no reservation, Xiao Yunlong mobilized the power of sixty Divine Kingdoms and unleashed a powerful punch.
A tragic cry echoed in the darkness as the Brahma Kingdom's Guardian Heavenly King crashed heavily onto an SUV below, crushing the car's roof into a deep pit. He himself was instantly killed, beyond any possibility of revival.
"Heavenly King Sir..." The Guardian Dharma King cried out in shock upon seeing this. The other Brahma Sect martial artists were also stunned. They had never imagined or believed that their Guardian Heavenly King could be killed.
"Escape! Everyone, flee quickly! Scatter in different directions, save whoever you can!" The Guardian Dharma King shouted hoarsely.
"Escape? Can you escape?"
Xiao Yunlong let out a cold哼, and in an instant, he swept in front of him, his hand flashing out to grab the Dharma King's throat and crush it, killing him instantly.
"Pursue them with all your might! Don't let a single one escape!"
Xiao Yunlong commanded sternly, and then swiftly moved to eliminate the four Brahma Sect Guardian Elders.
If the opponents had chosen to kneel and surrender, Xiao Yunlong might have considered sparing their lives. Moreover, these were Brahma Sect martial artists, not ordinary soldiers of the Brahma Kingdom, giving Xiao Yunlong even less reason to spare them.
Meng San, Zhuge Wushuang, Tu Fu, and the others pursued vigorously. With the top experts of the Brahma Sect now eliminated by Xiao Yunlong, the remaining individuals were no longer a threat.
Furthermore, the entire area around the square was already guarded by disciples of the Iron Sword Sect, invited by the Lord of Guiyun Ridge. These Brahma Kingdom martial artists, fleeing like startled birds and beasts, could not escape.
In less than fifteen minutes, the battle was over. All three hundred Brahma Kingdom martial artists were annihilated, with not a single one escaping.
Rumble...
Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared across the sky, followed by a torrential downpour. The pouring rain washed away the bloodstains on the plaza, quickly cleaning the vast square.
Xiao Yunlong, accompanied by a few trusted subordinates, walked directly into the main hall of the Lord of Guiyun Ridge's mansion.
At this time, the Southern King Lu Zhengping had also completed the handover with the Lord of Guiyun Ridge, Miao Rencheng.
"How is it outside?" the Southern King Lu Zhengping asked urgently.
Meng San immediately replied, "They have all been dealt with, Your Highness the Southern King. King Xiao Bei is truly a peerless martial artist; even the Brahma Sect's Guardian Heavenly King was no match for him!"
"Good, I did not misjudge you. King Bei has done admirably!" The Southern King Lu Zhengping exclaimed with great joy.
Miao Rencheng on the side also breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that his life had been saved tonight.
However, Xiao Yunlong turned to look at him and asked, "Miao Rencheng, I ask you, was the woman who played the flute in the past recommended to the old Southern King by you? She is a disciple of the Wonderful Sound Sect. Where is she now? Was her use of sound curses carried out under your orders?"
Everyone present also turned to look at him.
Miao Rencheng immediately felt immense pressure. Having handed over his authority as the Ridge Lord, he was now like a tiger with its claws removed, possessing no deterrent power.
"I am wronged! I truly did not know that woman was from the Wonderful Sound Sect, nor do I have any reason to harm His Highness the Southern King! Oh, right, I remember now. The reason I recommended that woman to the old Southern King back then was at the suggestion of the Lord of Canggu Ridge!" Miao Rencheng cried out.
"So, you are saying that Lord Canggu Ridge instructed you to do this?" Xiao Yunlong inquired.
"It was indeed his suggestion. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother doing such a thing!" Miao Rencheng spread his hands.
"This means it must be Lord Canggu Ridge playing tricks behind the scenes!" Deputy Zhou Yun said through gritted teeth.
The Southern King Lu Zhengping said gravely, "King Bei, what should we do next? Should we go directly to Canggu Ridge to demand an explanation?"
"No, we cannot go now!" Xiao Yunlong waved his hand.
"Why? With our current strength, and your immense power, King Xiao Bei, are we still unable to contend with Canggu Ridge?" asked Deputy Zhou.
Xiao Yunlong smiled noncommittally, not answering. Instead, he looked at Lu Zhengping and said, "Southern King, please use your private channels to secretly send a letter to those two guardian elders, Taiyi and Xiu Er. But remember, Lord Canggu Ridge must not know."
"You mean you want me to win over these two guardian elders, Taiyi and Xiu Er?" the Southern King Lu Zhengping asked.
Xiao Yunlong nodded, then sighed, "The Southern Border has suffered too great a loss this time. If I kill them all, and the Brahma Kingdom invades again in the future, what will the Southern Border camp have to contend with them? I must reserve some experts for you."
The Southern King Lu Zhengping's expression sharpened upon hearing this. He then stood at attention and cupped his hands, saying, "It was I who thought too simply. Thank you, Your Highness King Bei. After today, I am completely convinced by you!"
