Chapter 5243: Give Way?

He only realized it now; he almost fell for someone else’s trick.

But if he stepped back now, he might salvage his reputation, though it would certainly take a hit. His name would be tarnished, but perhaps not beyond repair.

“Never mind, there are still two waves to come. The real battle for the position of the commander is in the crucial third wave!” Si Tian, consoling himself, thought, his expression a disdainful snort as he turned and walked away.

The onlookers, many of whom were powerful individuals, dared not speak a word. They could only follow Si Tian in his retreat.

Among those half-step Dao Lords, not one refrained from cursing Si Tian as a spineless Dao Lord. He had shown fear, of all things.

Strangely, none of these people hated Jian Wushuang. Instead, they silently condemned Si Tian for his lack of action.

This was what it meant to be powerful!

True power didn’t demand outward respect; it commanded inner admiration.

They accused Jian Wushuang of selfishness on the surface, but deep down, they found his actions entirely normal. If they had the strength, they would do the same—seize the opportunity for themselves.

This was Qishen Temple; who wouldn’t want to be the best?

Who wouldn’t desire the most extraordinary inheritance?

Give way?

Those words shouldn’t exist in this world. The law of the jungle was the only truth; everything else was an illusion.

Once these people departed, Jian Wushuang sheathed his sword. He sat cross-legged on the city wall, closing his eyes to meditate.

The 100,000 Devouring Demons from earlier had indeed been as he suspected. The Dao within them was the Devouring origin source. These origin sources greatly aided his Extreme Dao, almost as much as devouring Grand Yan Immortals.

Such a substantial supplement—how could Jian Wushuang let it go?

He had made up his mind. In the next wave, he would monopolize it again. Even if it meant revealing all his cards, even if it meant exposing his One Thought Universe, he would monopolize it.

Buzz!

The sound of horns resonated as the second wave of Devouring Demons attacked once again.

This time, there were a million Devouring Demons. Those people weren’t particularly eager; they did not get a share of the 100,000 before, knowing that even if they were halfway half-step Emperor status, they couldn’t kill a million in a single blow.

Dao Lord Si Tian maintained his strong presence in the sky this time. He stood proudly on the city walls, nodding slightly at the other powerful beings rushing past him.

When he turned to look at Jian Wushuang, he snorted coldly. His face carried a disdainful expression, yet his eyes revealed a hint of fear.

Roar!

A heavy aura swept over them. The million Devouring Demons, their formation expanded tenfold compared to the last time, exuded a more potent pressure. The frontliners were momentarily stunned. However, it was the perfect opportunity to obtain the treasure points, so without much thought, they charged forward.

Just as the Grand Yan Immortals and the Devouring Demons were less than ten thousand miles apart, Jian Wushuang started to move.

This time, he didn’t unsheath his sword but instead, manipulated his Heart power slightly.

The Ultimate Sword Dao’s fifth level, “Heartsword Realm!”

He was already extremely familiar with this move. There was no overwhelming feeling, like the overburdened sensation from the Illusory Sword Technique; it was just a slight shift of his intent. A massive diagram of a Heartsword enveloped an area of a million miles in radius.

“Annihilate!”

A word was uttered!

Within a million miles, Sword Intent surged, and countless sword lights descended. Just as the Devouring Demons were about to charge at the Grand Yan Immortals, their figures suddenly halted.

The Grand Yan Immortals were also frozen in place, gazing upward. Countless sword lights, each capable of annihilating top-tier Grand Yan Immortals, rained down from the sky.

Dealing with these Nine Revolutions-level Devouring Demons was more than manageable.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

Like cutting through a field of leeks, the sword light instantly harvested the million Devouring Demons in the arena, leaving none behind.

Not only were they slain, but they were also devoured one by one. In the end, there was not a trace of the Devouring Demons’ aura left on the battlefield.

Cut the grass and pull out the roots—his move left everyone stunned.

Before Dao Lord Si Tian could react, the battlefield before him had returned to silence.

He couldn’t accept it; the first wave was one thing, as Dao Lords who had Domains, they could easily annihilate with a single strike. But this was the second wave, a full million Devouring Demons.

Even if a half-step Emperor were here, they wouldn’t be sure of wiping them all out in one blow!

His face was even darker than the last time.

He had even decided that next time, he would block them outside the darkness and patiently wait for the Devouring Demons to come out.

This time, after those Grand Yan Immortals retreated, surprisingly, they remained silent.

If the last time was at the level of Dao Lords, then this time, there was the might of a half-step Emperor.

They now suspected that Jian Wushuang was concealing his true strength, speculating that he had half-step Emperor power long ago but kept it hidden, only revealing it now.

“No wonder he shares a life-and-death friendship with the Monster Monk. He probably already had the power of a half-step Emperor. Otherwise, in the last

big battle, he wouldn’t have dared to stand up for the monk in front of so many Dao Lords.”

“It’s almost certain. Let’s keep our distance from him and not provoke him again.”

The Grand Yan Immortal who had previously wanted to trip Jian Wushuang up was now far away, hiding on the other side of the city wall, afraid that Jian Wushuang might take offense and severely injure him at this moment.

When the time came, he would be at a great loss.

“Everyone, get ready for the third wave!”

“Yeah, Jian Wushuangs strength was formidable enough to annihilate on his own in the first two waves. This time, we have to step in!”

“Haha, you’re shameless! I bet if you were absent in the third wave, we could still handle it easily.”

The hostility that had hung over the city walls during the previous encounter had dissipated. Instead, an air of camaraderie settled in.

Respect was earned through strength. The first time they thought they could challenge, and the second time, they genuinely feared.

Even Dao Lord Si Tian was uncertain now. In the past, he would have been confident, but Jian Wushuangs displayed power was overwhelming.

Even if he broke his seal and used his treasure to temporarily boost his power, he had no confidence in facing Jian Wushuang.

“Damn it, how can he be so powerful?” Dao Lord Si Tian maintained a calm facade, but inside, he was burning with fury. The ancient aura emanating from Jian Wushuang was eerily similar to his own secret treasure. These two artifacts must be related. If he could obtain it, he might have a chance to rival a half-step Emperor.

Now, that hope seemed too distant.

He couldn’t accept it!

Dao Lord Si Tian roared inwardly. The treasure within him had elevated him from a peak-level Grand Yan Immortal to a Dao Lord. Once he removed all seals, his power would surge again. There were probably few Dao Lords who could match him.

If he could acquire the ancient treasure Jian Wushuang possessed, he could ascend once more.

But now, that hope was shattered.

He had nothing left.

Perhaps Jian Wushuang had set his sights on him. He had become the prey. In the world of hunters and the hunted, those with murderous intent would always strike first.

The ancient saying did not deceive him.

All he could do now was play it by ear. However, he wouldn’t give up the position of the commander. Even if he had to prematurely release the restrictions within his body, he would contend for it. The prospect of increasing his treasure points by 50 percent was too enticing.

In the first two waves, there was only a total of 11,000 treasure points. In the third wave, there were 100,000 treasure points at stake. As long as he could annihilate 60 percent of the enemy, he could seize the position of the commander.

Dao Lord Si Tian snorted and muttered, “Just you wait!”

This time, Si Tian leaped down from the city wall and waited outside in advance. This scene left the Grand Yan Immortals on the wall astonished.

What happened to the demeanor of a true strongman?

One figure sat cross-legged on the city wall, serene and unmovable, his aura reaching for the sky. Another figure resembled a starving wolf, drooling at the mouth.

The half-step Dao Lords on the city wall looked down upon Dao Lord Si Tian even more..
