As he spoke, he glanced at Saint Emperor Tianrui, Old Ancestor Ding Sheng of the Si Family, and Sacred Supreme Shuiyue, and said leisurely, "So it’s still the three of you. Are you really planning to stand against our Ji Family and Jiang’s?"

Sacred Supreme Shuiyue had long found Ninth Heaven Sacred Supreme and Jiang Lihuo an eyesore. Hearing this, her face tightened and she was about to respond.

However, Wang Shouzhe was the first to pick up the thread, smiling as he said, "For such a petty scene, there’s no need to trouble the three seniors."

As he spoke, he waved his hand casually and summoned the Green Emperor Holy Sword.

Awe-inspiring Sword Intent spread out from the Sacred Sword.

Then he gave another wave of his hand, and a soil-yellow Sacred Shield appeared in front of him.

Layer upon layer of earth-colored Energy spread outward with the Sacred Shield as the core, overlapping and expanding, forming an incomparably solid defensive barrier before Wang Shouzhe.

Dan Saint Jiang Li Huo’s eyes narrowed slightly; he seemed somewhat surprised.

Even Great Luo Realm experts might not be able to equip everyone under them with a Sacred Artifact. This brat was only at the Transcendent Void Realm, yet he could already possess two Sacred Artifacts, one for attack and one for defense?

In terms of equipment, he actually made even himself look inferior!

He was secretly shocked, yet he still didn’t take it too seriously, sneering as he said, "It’s just two Sacred Artifacts. With your strength, you can’t bring out their full power at all. Do you really think you can block this Venerable?"

But as soon as the words left his mouth—

The space between Wang Shouzhe’s brows lit up, and within his sea of consciousness, a scroll of Sacred Image rose up—it was the [Azure Emperor Holy Diagram]!

Under the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Laws within the Sacred Image, Wang Shouzhe seemed to be coated in a layer of azure radiance. His robes fluttered, making him look like the Azure Emperor reborn.

But that wasn’t all. He flipped his hand again, and a moment later a devastating killing weapon appeared in his grasp!

The moment that killing weapon appeared, it released a terrifying pressure that made even Dan Saint Jiang Li Huo’s heart tremble, involuntarily giving rise to a trace of fear.

"Strike of Taoist Master?!"

Dan Saint Jiang Li Huo’s expression changed again and again, becoming extremely uncertain.

This was a [Strike of Taoist Master]. Even with his strength, if he took a direct hit, he would be severely injured!

Yet even so, he still forced himself to sound tough as he said, "Strike of Taoist Master is indeed formidable, but since you’ve already taken it out in advance, this Venerable is prepared. If you want to rely on it to kill me, that will be very difficult."

This Strike of Taoist Master was naturally a hidden trump card and last-resort move that Wang Shouzhe had prepared in advance when he was fighting the green-skinned Sacred Supreme of the Atana Tribe, though he had never needed to use it.

"Heh heh!"

Wang Shouzhe didn’t bother wasting words with him and moved his God Sense again.

In an instant, the Immortal-machine-laden scenery of the entire Guiyuan Other Courtyard changed.

Rich Immortal Spirit Qi dispersed outward, and with a faint tremor from the ground, nine hundred-zhang-high towers slowly rose from beneath the earth.

Those towers were entirely forged from a special material, their presence towering and majestic. Terrifying dark thunderlight coiled around each tower, exuding an aura of world-annihilating destruction.

The thunderlight on the nine towers linked together into a Formation, and the aura it released became even more terrifying. Even space itself showed cracks under the pulsation of the thunderlight.

"V–Void Annihilation Thunder Array?!"

In that instant, Dan Saint Jiang Li Huo’s expression turned unsightly to the extreme.

Had this Wang Shouzhe gone mad? He actually moved such a great killing Formation used on the Void Battlefield over to guard his home courtyard?

"Senior Dan Saint, is this enough?" Wang Shouzhe was still smiling as he looked at him. "If your head still isn’t clear, I can help you wake up a bit more."

This is bad!

Dan Saint Jiang Li Huo’s heart went cold, and he suddenly had an extremely ominous premonition.

Today, he and Ninth Heaven had come pressing forward in full might, looking awe-inspiring, but in reality they had been unknowingly led step by step into a lethal trap by the other side.

Most likely—

Things were going to become endlessly troublesome.
