# Chapter 1049: Sweeping All Directions
"I underestimated him. This Gu Linfeng is truly extraordinary. Although he is not a Realm Son, the combat power he possesses at the same cultivation level is not inferior to that of a Realm Son." Wan Huayu's eyes shimmered with a crystalline brilliance.
The purple-robed old man, however, still held no favorable opinion of Gu Linfeng. "Unfortunately, his cultivation is still too weak. If he could learn to be patient and raise his realm to the sixth-order Half-Saint, or even the seventh-order Half-Saint, then even if the Lingxiao Heavenly King Manor wanted to deal with him, it would not be an easy matter."
The strength Gu Linfeng had displayed was indeed formidable, but unfortunately, his enemy was a behemoth like the Lingxiao Heavenly King Manor.
The more outstanding his performance, the faster he would die.
Wan Huayu said, "Now, let's see whether the leading figures of the Lingxiao Heavenly King Manor and the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect can nip Gu Linfeng in the bud."
"Does the Princess think there is still any suspense?" The purple-robed old man was somewhat puzzled.
No matter how strong Gu Linfeng was, he only had a handful of people on his side. How could he withstand the two alliances of the Lingxiao Heavenly King Manor and the Blood God Sect?
Wan Huayu merely smiled faintly and did not say anything further.
The leading figures of the Lingxiao Heavenly King Manor simultaneously issued an order: "Kill Gu Linfeng at all costs."
Regardless of whether Gu Linfeng had borrowed external power, the strength he had displayed so far had already made the Lingxiao Heavenly King Manor feel threatened.
They had to kill Gu Linfeng to put their minds at ease.
Upon receiving the order, the last two commanders of the Azure Dragon Army simultaneously channeled their Saint Qi, surging with overwhelming killing intent that formed two rapidly spinning wind vortices.
These two were named Yan Tong and Bai Xinglou, ranked first and second among the ten commanders, both at the peak of the ninth-order Half-Saint realm.
Yan Tong stepped forward first, his eyes taking on a silvery-gray hue as he said in a deep voice, "Gu Linfeng, your strength is indeed impressive. The Seven Orifices Blood Nether Palm you just struck unleashed nearly forty times the attack power. But if that is all you've got, then today, you will surely die under my commander's Blood-Quenching Divine Blade."
Knowing full well how strong Gu Linfeng was, yet still daring to say such words, it was clear that Yan Tong was confident he could withstand the Seven Orifices Blood Nether Palm.
The blood-colored war blade in Yan Tong's hand was two meters long, with a hilt reaching one meter. As Saint Qi surged into the blade, countless golden inscription patterns emerged.
"Clang."
The war blade scraped across the ground.
In an instant, within the sealed-off area, tens of thousands of golden blade shadows appeared, forming a murderous blade domain.
Yan Tong was a genuine peak ninth-order Half-Saint powerhouse, far surpassing Situ Chaobei and Yuan Di in combat power. Even just his starting stance already gave off the momentum of an impending storm.
Moreover, that Blood-Quenching Divine Blade was quite extraordinary, ranking two thousand nine hundred and forty-seventh on the Thousand-Mark Sacred Artifact List.
"A mere Gu Linfeng, why does Big Brother need to act personally? My strength is enough to suppress and kill him."
Bai Xinglou spread his arms, and thirty-six blue iron balls flew out from his body, hovering in midair, emitting thirty-six exceptionally dazzling beams of light.
Each iron ball was a Hundred-Mark Sacred Artifact, and when combined into a set, they formed a Thousand-Mark Sacred Artifact called "Starry Sea Dust Sand."
Any Thousand-Mark Sacred Artifact possessed boundless power, capable of unleashing the Thousand Ripple Annihilation Force, and should never be underestimated.
Because Yan Tong and Bai Xinglou had a high probability of cultivating to the Saint realm, they were qualified to wield Thousand-Mark Sacred Artifacts. This also showed how much importance the Lingxiao Heavenly King Manor placed on these two.
The cultivators in Yingsha City all found it unbelievable.
To suppress and kill a fifth-order Half-Saint, they had dispatched two peak ninth-order Half-Saint powerhouses—an unprecedented event.
Sun Dadi emerged from the house, carrying an iron rod on his shoulder, and shouted, "Does the Lingxiao Heavenly King Manor really think the Blood God Sect has no one? Any random cat or dog dares to challenge the Divine Son?"
"Didn't I tell you not to come out? Let me handle this." Zhang Ruochen shot Sun Dadi a glare, wanting him to retreat.
The Lingxiao Heavenly King Manor was undoubtedly a behemoth of a force, with countless experts, and could not be provoked lightly.
Zhang Ruochen had become their enemy only because the Lingxiao Heavenly King Manor had dealt too harshly with the descendants of the Imperial Clan Zhang, so he sought revenge.
But Zhang Ruochen did not want to drag Sun Dadi into this, fearing he would suffer retaliation from the Lingxiao Heavenly King Manor.
Sun Dadi grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, showing no intention of retreating, wanting to fight alongside Zhang Ruochen.
"Kid, who are you calling a cat or a dog?"
Yan Tong's face darkened with anger, his thick eyebrows standing on end.
Sun Dadi wore an even more arrogant expression than Zhang Ruochen, laughing loudly, "You're the cat, and he's the dog. Seeing me here, shouldn't you immediately call me Uncle Sun?"
Yan Tong and Bai Xinglou were both figures at the pinnacle below the Saint realm. When had they ever suffered such humiliation?
"You're asking for death." Yan Tong raised his Blood-Quenching Divine Blade and stepped forward.
The blood-red long blade was raised above his head, like a crescent moon of blood, and slashed downward rapidly, the trailing blade light splitting both sky and earth in two.
One could imagine that if not for the formation sealing this area, Yan Tong's single slash alone would have split Yingsha City in half.
"Calling you a cat, and you still won't accept it? You're really pissing off your Uncle Sun. If I don't teach you a proper lesson today, you'll never learn how to respect your elders."
Although Sun Dadi was a chatterbox, once he started fighting, he was extremely fierce.
He shifted his steps, turned sideways, swung the iron rod in his hand, and struck horizontally, faster than lightning, directly hitting Yan Tong's abdomen.
"Bang."
Yan Tong grunted and flew backward.
Fortunately, a protective talisman was attached to Yan Tong's armor, blocking the blow. Otherwise, Sun Dadi's strike would have severely injured him.
"You actually managed to block one of my strikes. You've got some skill."
Sun Dadi immediately pursued, leaped into the air, raised the rod with both hands, and swung it down again.
Yan Tong had no time to dodge, so he had to plant his legs in a horse stance and raise the Blood-Quenching Divine Blade with both hands to block Sun Dadi's attack.
"Boom."
Sun Dadi's iron rod, weighing who knows how many tens of thousands of pounds, drove half of Yan Tong's body into the ground.
Blood spilled from Yan Tong's mouth, his arms aching as if they were about to shatter, his entire upper body completely numb.
That red-furred monkey's strength was terrifying. With his cultivation, he could barely withstand a single strike. Where had such a formidable expert come from?
"You actually managed to withstand two of my strikes. Your cultivation has truly impressed me."
Sun Dadi then struck four more times in succession. With each blow, Yan Tong spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body sank another notch.
By the time all four strikes had landed, Yan Tong's flesh was cracking like ceramic, covered in blood-red fissures, as if about to shatter.
The entire battle had happened in the blink of an eye.
By the time Bai Xinglou reacted, Yan Tong was nearly beaten to death by Sun Dadi.
"Stop."
Bai Xinglou pushed his hands forward, channeling Saint Qi continuously into the thirty-six Dust Sand Beads, activating the Thousand Ripple Annihilation Force, using his strongest technique to crush Sun Dadi.
The thirty-six Dust Sand Beads arranged themselves in a pattern resembling some constellation in the starry sky, forming a sea of stars as they flew toward Sun Dadi.
The power of the Thousand Ripple Annihilation Force was absolutely terrifying.
Zhang Ruochen immediately channeled Saint Qi into the Seven Kill Fist Gloves, preparing to contend with Bai Xinglou and block the Starry Sea Dust Sand.
However, before Zhang Ruochen could act, Sun Dadi laughed loudly and charged toward Bai Xinglou first.
"Dog, I didn't teach you a lesson first, and you're already being disobedient. Looks like you still need a beating."
The iron rod in Sun Dadi's hand also surged with thousands of inscription patterns, emitting a dazzling golden light, growing as thick as a bowl, like a pillar holding up the sky, sweeping toward Bai Xinglou.
"Bang, bang."
The thirty-six Dust Sand Beads could not block the iron rod at all, flying away like thirty-six marbles.
"How can he be so strong?"
Bai Xinglou's expression changed, and he immediately retreated backward.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The iron rod struck Bai Xinglou's legs, smashing them into a bloody pulp.
Bai Xinglou knelt on the ground, letting out a muffled groan, his originally resolute and handsome face twisted in pain.
"Fight."
Bai Xinglou roared, enduring the pain in his legs, trying to stand up again, only to find an iron rod hovering above his head.
Sun Dadi stood behind Bai Xinglou, grinning slyly, "Dog, never roar for no reason, because no matter how loud you roar, it's useless."
"Bang."
Sun Dadi brought the rod down on Bai Xinglou's head, nearly shattering his Sacred Soul and Qi Sea.
Bai Xinglou's vision went black, feeling a dizzying spin, his head heavy and his feet light, before he passed out, kneeling in a row with Situ Chaobei, Yuan Di, and Chi Zhongshan.
Then, Sun Dadi used his rod to lift Yan Tong out of the ground and placed him beside the other four commanders, making him kneel as well.
Sun Dadi stared at the kneeling postures of Yan Tong and Bai Xinglou several times, confirming they were perfect, before nodding in satisfaction.
The formidable combat power Sun Dadi had displayed had already shaken the entire Yingsha City. Everyone was asking around for information about him.
Before this battle, no one knew of his existence.
But the strength Sun Dadi had shown was incredibly heaven-defying, marking him as a force to be reckoned with.
"That is a disciple taken in by the Kunzi Heavenly Palace Master of the Blood God Sect during his travels in the Eastern Sea, named Sun Dadi, from the Spirit Monkey Half-Human Clan." A cultivator from the Blood God Sect revealed Sun Dadi's background.
"Sun Dadi's cultivation has been severely underestimated. With his combat power, he is enough to sweep all directions, definitely not inferior to Wei Longxing or Hai Lingyin."
Wan Huayu's eyes sparkled with a hint of a smile. "Gu Linfeng has both a mysterious woman of unfathomable cultivation by his side and a ferocious Spirit Monkey Half-Human Clan member who has suddenly appeared. Although only a few cultivators follow him, each one is a top-tier expert. I wonder what other experts might emerge from his side?"
Even the purple-robed old man, who had always been pessimistic about Gu Linfeng, showed a solemn expression. "If the Lingxiao Heavenly King Manor wants to take down Gu Linfeng, it will likely have to pay a heavy price." (To be continued.)
