"While that may be so, things cannot be pushed too far!" Lu Tiannan said quickly, "I implore the Supreme Elder to reconsider. Once something goes wrong, it may be irreversible. How will we deal with it then!"
"With the Xuan Guang Holy Land in possession of a peerless divine weapon, what can the other branches of the Assassin Dynasty do even if they come?"
Dao Xuan's expression was indifferent, his words carrying a forceful tone, as if all of this was beneath his notice.
At this very moment, Lu Tiannan was also filled with helplessness and a touch of unease. He knew very well that once this peerless divine weapon was unsheathed, it would inevitably bring about endless calamity. How would they manage the aftermath then?
The Assassin Dynasty had endured for so many years, and it was certainly not a reputation earned in vain. If this branch were truly destroyed, the Assassin Dynasty would undoubtedly retaliate forcefully. At that time, how would the disciples of the Xuan Guang Holy Land fare?
Perhaps, with the Xuan Guang Sword protecting them, no one could approach or harm them. But what about the other disciples of the Xuan Guang Holy Land? How would they protect themselves?
"I will wait for another quarter of an hour. If you cannot produce Hao Tian, do not blame me for turning hostile!"
Dao Xuan's voice rang out again, laced with coldness. No one could stop him from doing what he intended.
Jian Bei let out a hearty laugh, "If you wish to act, then act. Why waste so many words? Hao Tian is not here, and he is not here. No matter how much more time you give, it will only be a waste!"
"I have already shown the Assassin Dynasty courtesy, but unfortunately, you do not appreciate it. Then you cannot blame me!"
Dao Xuan immediately let out a cold laugh, simultaneously controlling the Xuan Guang Sword, a powerful spiritual energy surging around him, appearing like a turbulent tide that stirred emotions.
In that instant, the might of the peerless divine weapon spread throughout the region, causing boundless panic. Many people turned their gazes towards the mountain peak, their hearts filled with fear. Once a peerless divine weapon awakened, it was something ordinary mortals could not resist. Even experts at the Saint King level could not stop it. Su Dan Novel Network
"The divine weapon has awakened!"
Within the Assassin Dynasty, many spoke out, their eyes filled with vigilance. Although they were assassins, they also knew what the awakening of a divine weapon signified.
"You truly intend to activate the peerless divine weapon!"
Jian Bei's expression was cold, "Challenging the authority of my Assassin Dynasty?"
"The Xuan Guang Holy Land, having come with a peerless divine weapon, will not leave empty-handed!"
Dao Xuan said with a faint smile, "Therefore, you should understand that if Hao Tian is not handed over, everyone in the Assassin Dynasty will have to accompany him in death today!"
"Very good, very good, what audacious words!"
Jian Bei burst into laughter, his eyes filled with sharp intent. The situation had reached a point where it was beyond his control, but the authority of the Assassin Dynasty could not be violated, and he would never allow such a thing to happen.
"All disciples, heed my command! Ambush the Xuan Guang Holy Land members! Those who offend our Dynasty shall be punished, no matter how far they flee!"
Jian Bei's voice carried immense authority and was filled with endless killing intent. He would not tolerate anyone causing trouble in the Assassin Dynasty. Otherwise, what would become of their reputation?
"Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! I have given you multiple chances, yet you failed to cherish them, choosing instead to oppose the Xuan Guang Holy Land. Since that is the case, do not blame me for my ruthless actions!"
Dao Xuan said coldly, the Xuan Guang Sword in his hand emitting an unparalleled aura, carrying a sound of breaking wind as it surged towards the sky.
Seeing the scene before him, Jian Bei did not hesitate. If he could kill Dao Xuan before the Xuan Guang Sword truly awakened, perhaps the crisis facing the Assassin Dynasty today could be resolved.
In that instant, Jian Bei's figure transformed into an afterimage, and in the blink of an eye, he lunged towards Dao Xuan.
Concurrently, other assassins from the Assassin Dynasty also launched their attacks, intercepting the other experts from the Holy Land. Their assassination techniques had been honed to perfection, and naturally, they were not comparable to ordinary individuals.
The other two Supreme Elders, seeing the situation was dire, immediately moved to intercept Jian Bei. But in that very moment, the two Supreme Elders were forced to retreat. In Jian Bei's hands, they were of no use, and even their expressions shifted slightly.
"Such powerful killing intent! No wonder you are the leader of the Assassin Dynasty's branch. Truly astonishing!"
Their eyes filled with shock, the two Supreme Elders exclaimed. If not for the Xuan Guang Sword today, they truly feared they might not be able to return to the Holy Land.
"Ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! In the face of a peerless divine weapon, even the strongest combat prowess is but an illusion!"
Dao Xuan let out a cold laugh. He had completely awakened the peerless divine weapon, and thus, within his domain, no one could approach him, not even the true King of Assassins.
As Jian Bei closed in, before he could even make a move, Dao Xuan unleashed a powerful surge of energy that seemed to blot out the sky. A sword energy directly sent Jian Bei flying back, without any suspense.
In the presence of a peerless divine weapon, no one could remain composed, not even Jian Bei.
The numerous assassins of the Assassin Dynasty were also somewhat shocked by what they witnessed. This was their branch leader, a person of immense strength who had never known defeat. Yet today, in the face of a peerless divine weapon, he appeared so disheveled.
*Pfft...*
A mouthful of blood spurted out fiercely, and Jian Bei's expression turned grim. He had not expected Dao Xuan's strength to be so formidable with the augmentation of the peerless divine weapon, to the point where he was repelled before he could even get close.
Concurrently, the other assassins of the Assassin Dynasty were also intimidated. In the face of the peerless divine weapon, they appeared so vulnerable. If they continued to fight, they would surely meet a tragic end. Some of them were already being crushed by the powerful aura of the divine weapon.
"The Great Dao Divine Weapon is truly merciless! It seems this saying is not wrong!"
Jian Bei let out a cold laugh, "If I die today, the Assassin Dynasty will not rest. Tomorrow will be the doom of your Xuan Guang Holy Land!"
"Stop trying to threaten me. I am not swayed by your tactics!"
Dao Xuan said with a cold laugh, "Now that your life is in my hands, what else do you have to say?"
"Kill me if you wish, flay me if you will, why speak so much!"
Jian Bei's expression was indifferent, as if all of this was insignificant in his eyes. Dying before him would serve no purpose.
Many people witnessed this scene and felt a sense of dread. The might of the peerless divine weapon was indeed extraordinary, forcing even the Assassin Dynasty to surrender.
"Back in Hua City, you were arrogant and dismissive of me. Now you find yourself in such a predicament, it is truly gratifying!" Dao Xuan said coldly, "Since you refuse to hand over Hao Tian, then I can only destroy your Lion Peak. At the same time, all the assassins within Lion Peak will also perish!"
