When a few people arrived at the sect gate.
The Willow Wood Ancestor and the Black and White Killers were already engaged in battle.
Thousands of Dragon Might Army surrounded the area.
With intense momentum, they constantly beat the drums and watched the battle from the firmament.
Compared to the Ancient Dragon Nation, the disciples of True Martial Holy Sect were significantly weaker.
They stared eagerly at the battle in the sky.
Daring not to relax in the slightest.
Because if they lost, it meant they would all be killed.
The Willow Wood Ancestor wore a green robe.
He was elderly, clad in an exceptionally wide long robe.In the mad wind, there was constant “bang bang bang” sounds.
The Willow Wood Ancestor exuded a powerful aura, the might of the Divine Vein was perpetually active.
His true fate was a willow tree.
Like his true form, originally achieving the Tao as a willow.
He was not of the human race.
But at this level, the Black and White Killers were also not of the human race.
One was a Black Tiger, the other a White Tiger.
It’s said that the origin of the Willow Wood Ancestor was from when the Three-Blades Great Saint battled an enemy.
Blade Intent once tore the firmament.
Destroying an entire region.
But in that region, a willow branch alone survived.
Thus the Three-Blades Great Saint picked up the branch.
Brought it back to True Martial Holy Sect.
Gradually nurtured it, transforming it into human form, allowing the willow to enter the Tao.
Although the Three-Blades Great Saint didn’t truly take a disciple.
But the Willow Wood Ancestor was the willow picked up back then.
He always regarded the Three-Blades Great Saint as his mentor.
So his feelings for True Martial Holy Sect, or more precisely, his respect for the Three-Blades Great Saint.
That’s what motivated him to want to rebuild the True Martial Holy Sect.
Took Wang Hengzhi as his disciple.
To fulfill his heart’s desire.
……
At this moment, the Willow Wood Ancestor transformed into the formidable Heaven-reaching Willow.
Even under the assault of the Black and White Killers, he was not at their mercy.
On the contrary, the two Black and White Tigers were repeatedly struck by the willow, eventually howling in pain.
"Good hit,” the disciples of True Martial Holy Sect shouted one after another.
But compared to these disciples.
The Elders wore worried expressions.
For they knew, the Willow Wood Ancestor was like a candle flickering before the end.
Appearing strong now.
But he would grow increasingly weaker later.
Finally beaten by the Black and White Killers.
Because the Willow Wood Ancestor was too old, and his life was nearing its end.
Fortunately, he was a willow by nature.
That’s how he managed to live until now; anything else would have died long ago.
The Willow Wood Ancestor did not wish to cling to life.
But his desire remained unfulfilled, always hoping to witness True Martial Holy Sect’s glorious restoration before passing.
……
Finally, after a fierce battle.
The Willow Wood Ancestor’s strength began to wane.
The Black Tiger found an opportunity, directly pouncing onto the trunk of the Heaven-reaching Willow, gnawing at it viciously.
As if trying to break the willow.
The anguished roar of the Willow Wood Ancestor echoed.
From the sound alone, one could feel the pain of the Willow Wood Ancestor.
"Dammit, I really want to help Ancestor.
But our strength is too weak,” a disciple said helplessly.
For those like them, going up would be courting death.
So powerless.
……
"Do not harm Ancestor.”
At this moment, a loud shout was heard.
Seeing this, Xiao An’an pushed Xu Zimei forward, and a powerful sword qi burst forth from her.
Directly charged at the Black and White Killers.
As for Wang Hengzhi, who came along, he was completely stunned.
"Divine Vein… a Divine Vein expert?”
Wang Hengzhi looked at Xiao An’an rising into the air, seemingly unable to believe it.
"Ancestor, is this… your doing?”
"Nothing to do with me, but indeed someone’s credit,” Xu Zimei waved his hand.
"Don’t make a fuss, it’s just Divine Vein, mere ants.
Nothing extraordinary.”
Wang Hengzhi on the side, nodded silently, not daring to speak.
Ancestor was indeed impressive.
Even Divine Vein were mere ants.
Then what qualifies as strong?
But for one like him with Emperor Pulse, he could only watch silently, not daring to speak.
Xiao An’an rose into the air; her attack was too sudden.
Causing the Black Tiger to fail to react.
The longsword directly pierced its abdomen.
The Black Tiger roared in pain, then abandoned the Willow Wood Ancestor, charging at Xiao An’an.
The Willow Wood Ancestor wanted to support, but was blocked by the White Tiger.
"Quickly deal with this brat, then kill this old fool,” said the White Tiger.
Although the Willow Wood Ancestor was getting weaker with time.
His strength wasn’t that formidable anymore, but still not someone he alone could defeat.
Earlier, the Crown Prince of Dragon Sea sought reinforcement, originally bringing National Master Situ along.
But some incident occurred midway.
The Black and White Killers were pulled over instead, replacing National Master Situ as reinforcements.
Fearing their inadequacy, they came together.
Unexpectedly, after the Willow Wood Ancestor was seemingly defeated by the monster, a brat suddenly emerged.
Black Fiend snorted coldly.
The dark aura enveloped him, almost trying to crush Xiao An’an instantly.
But the sword qi on Xiao An’an was potent, indestructible.
The defensive power of Black Fiend in front of Xiao An’an seemed akin to paper, utterly fragile.
Thus for Black Fiend to approach Xiao An’an, he must be exceptionally cautious.
But after a few exchanges, Black Fiend discovered.
Though Xiao An’an possessed immense strength, her battle experience was insufficient, extremely lacking.
As if she hadn’t advanced step by step.
But instead had abruptly vaulted to this realm, like riding a rocket.
This led to her combat experience being inconsistent with her realm.
Recognizing this, Black Fiend attacked more fiercely.
Every move lethal, he intended to swiftly kill Xiao An’an.
Witnessing this, Wang Hengzhi below anxiously said, “Ancestor, An’an has poor experience.
She’s likely not his opponent.”
"Keep watching, it’s not certain yet,” Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"Don’t you see, this Black Fiend is a great practice opponent.”
"Ancestor wants to use Black Fiend to temper An’an?” Wang Hengzhi quickly understood.
"Exactly, a perfect grindstone,” Xu Zimei nodded.
"If you don’t understand, don’t interfere.
Just watch carefully.
At least you’re a sect master, don’t be like a startled bird, what’s that look.”
"Ancestor’s lesson is appreciated,” Wang Hengzhi lowered his head, not daring to retort.
"And your strength is too weak,” Xu Zimei said.
"Find an opportunity, and breakthrough to Great Emperor first.”
"Breakthrough… breakthrough to Great Emperor?”
Wang Hengzhi stammered in astonishment.
According to the master’s words, both his aptitude and the current resources of True Martial Holy Sect.
He feared he’d not achieve Great Emperor in this lifetime.
And Wang Hengzhi himself never harbored such thoughts.
At this moment, Xu Zimei’s words ignited his inner life.
