Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Gods blocking the way shall be slain?"

Azure Dragon Patriarch was taken aback, then burst into a lengthy laughter looking upwards. His words were filled with disdain and mockery, "It seems like after killing a Celestial Dragon Supreme, you believe yourself to be invincible in Western Province. I don't mind telling you that if it weren't for the Celestial Dragon Supreme being under the Buddha's Fruit of protection, killing him would have been as easy as reaching into a bag for me. And you, a latecomer, dare to be so arrogant before me? Today, I shall stand in your path; let's see how you plan to kill me!"

Humm!

Suddenly, a burst of azure light surged around Azure Dragon Patriarch's body, and amidst a thunderous noise, a cyan banner fell into his hands.

With a fierce wave of the banner, a mass of cyan clouds gushed out instantly.

The clouds were vast, forming a cotton-like suspension above the sky, slowly spreading out and constantly morphing, eventually turning into a huge cloud wall.

The cloud wall stretched for thousands of miles, horizontally spanning between heaven and earth.

It blocked the path Xiao Yi and others must take to Spirit Mountain.

Azure Dragon Patriarch, holding the cyan banner, stood above the cloud wall with a face full of indifference and disdain: "I shall stand right here; let's see how you'll traverse a flat plain under the obstruction of thousands of Buddha soldiers from the Green Cloud Buddha Nation!"

"This is the Qingyun Banner of the Ninth Layer Buddha soldiers? According to the legends, during Ancient Times, this was a banner placed in front of the Hall of Longevity..."

"Rumor has it that the Qingyun Banner can continuously release the azure heavens and absorb all attacks; it's said that one person with one banner can block thousands of troops!"

"Who would have thought it would end up in the hands of Azure Dragon Patriarch; no wonder he has the confidence to obstruct our way!"

The four Prajna Supremes all started talking, their expressions serious.

Clearly, they also knew of the Qingyun Banner's formidable power.

Veda Supreme spoke solemnly, "Buddha King, let your subordinate test Azure Dragon Patriarch's methods?"

"No need!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand, at the moment, his black battle robe fluttering in the wind, ever since Little Lin went into deep slumber, there has been a considerable change in his temperament. He spoke less, but his aura became even more piercing, his eyes scanning Azure Dragon Patriarch on top of the cyan city wall, "Three breaths have passed!"

"Three breaths? Even if I gave you three hundred breaths, what of it?"

Azure Dragon Patriarch, holding the Qingyun Banner with cyan light surrounding his body, was extremely confident, "You can't even get past the cloud wall that I've casually set up, let alone..."

Before his words were finished.

A lofty sword cry tore apart the sky.

Humm!

Between heaven and earth, all light was overshadowed.

A blazingly brilliant sword light arrived in an instant, slashing towards Azure Dragon Patriarch on the cloud wall.

The sharp edge of the sword was chilling to the bone.

Azure Dragon Patriarch sneered, still disbelieving that Xiao Yi could break through his defenses: "One person with one banner, capable of stopping thousands of troops..."

Rustle rustle!

Countless cyan clouds gathered above his head.

Shua!

As the sword light entered the cyan clouds, it suddenly became as if a clay ox entering the sea, disappearing without a trace.

Azure Dragon Patriarch laughed heartily, "Is this the extent of your abilities? And you have the audacity to claim you can slay gods? I am standing right here, and you can't even touch me..."

However...

The smile on his face crumbled in the next second.

The cyan clouds above suddenly emitted a hissing noise, as incredibly bright sword light pierced through the obstruction of the cyan clouds, destroying all the cyan clouds floating above. With the barrier of cyan clouds gone, the scarlet sword light broke through unhindered, crashing onto Azure Dragon Patriarch with a loud bang.

Wa!

Azure Dragon Patriarch screamed miserably, as bright red blood sprayed across the sky.

A ghastly sword scar that slanted across the entire chest, cleaved his torso open in half, revealing his beating heart and contracting lungs. Blood soaked his clothes in an instant while the formidable destructive force hurled the aged Qingyun backward.

The sword light, however, did not pause for a moment, splitting the cloud wall in half as well.

Spreading like a crimson Azure Dragon, the sword light charged rampantly, stretching for dozens of miles.

Where it passed...

The army formation composed of the Green Cloud Buddha Nation's Buddha soldiers was split right open.

For a moment...

The remaining powerhouses were all left desperately fleeing for their lives, and in the blink of an eye, the Buddha soldiers of the Green Cloud Buddha Nation that had blocked their path like an endless sea of people had already scattered in all directions.

Just as Xiao Yi said...

Before him, the path was clear!

Shh!

Countless powerhouses watching this battle all over the world gasped in shock, "A single sword strike that opened up the Qingyun Banner, renowned for its unparalleled defense, severely injuring the Ninth Layer Supreme Realm Qingyun Ancestor. Is this Xiao Yi already a Saint Venerate?"

"It can't be Saint Venerable, he doesn't have the aura of heaven and earth that a Saint Venerable possesses..."

"Not a Saint Venerable, yet he rivals one!"

"I'm afraid even in that place, his strength would be considered top-notch!"

Of course.

Xiao Yi did not know that countless powerhouses were secretly scrutinizing his sword strike. Even if he did, he would not care. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, as long as he displayed sufficient strength, problems would automatically steer clear of him.

"Escape!"

The Qingyun Ancestor waved the Qingyun Banner to envelop his body, allowing the Qingyun to fill up his wound to prevent the blood from gushing endlessly. However, at this moment, he had lost all will to fight and only thought of escaping, continuing to live, "Xiao Yi, just you wait. Once this old ancestor becomes a Saint Venerable, I will surely reclaim today's debt, with interest!"

Hum!

Under the wrap of Qingyun, the Qingyun Ancestor turned into a streak of flowing cloud, attempting to flee away.

"Not good, the Qingyun Ancestor is trying to escape!"

"This sly old guy..."

The faces of Veda Supreme and several others changed dramatically. The Qingyun Ancestor's speed was simply too fast; they thought of chasing but were already too late.

Could they only watch with their own eyes as Qingyun Ancestor slipped away right under their noses?

That, of course, was impossible!

"Before me, he cannot escape!"

With a cold sneer, Xiao Yi's black wings unfolded behind him with a thud, spreading a hundred yards wide, pitch-black like two black holes shaped like wings, ceaselessly devouring the sky's light all around. With a shudder of his wings, a black vortex suddenly emerged in front of him.

Swish!

Xiao Yi dove into the black vortex.

When he reappeared...

He was already blocking the path of the Qingyun Ancestor, who was fleeing in a sorry state. With a forward reach of his hand, a golden palm print ferociously suppressed him from above.

Boom!

Qingyun burst apart.

With a pitiful scream, the Qingyun Ancestor was ruthlessly smashed to the ground by Xiao Yi's mountain-like palm, causing a thundering rumble that set off landslides and flattened several mountains. Looking down at the Qingyun Ancestor struggling desperately under his palm, Xiao Yi's face showed no expression as he landed before him.

The Qingyun Ancestor, no longer having the arrogance and tyranny he had before, desperately pleaded with a look of hopelessness on his face, "Xiao Buddha King, I beg for mercy. As long as you spare me, this humble monk is willing to serve you as an ox or horse! I can be your loyal dog at your feet, and I will definitely follow your commands obediently..."

"To be my dog?"

Xiao Yi sneered emotionlessly, "You are not worthy!"
