Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1295 - 1281: The Power of One Finger

Azure Dragon Fortress.

Though it’s called a void fortress, it is in fact an immense city.

The entire city is a sacred soldier!

Guarding the thinnest portions of the domain barriers on the outer battlefield, this Azure Dragon Fortress protects the weakest spot among the fortresses.

Back then, it was from here that the foreign creatures emerged, causing the Qingtian Realm’s six sacred lands to lose many masters.

At this moment.

Even though Master Nantian has already fallen, the entire fortress continues to operate in an orderly manner.

Numerous renowned experts throughout Southern State’s history still dutifully defend this fortress.

The strongest among them is Nantian Yue, a Supreme Realm Peak powerhouse who has taken ninety-nine steps on the Great Tao.

This person has another identity.

She is the younger sister of the Emperor who once ruled the Nantian Dynasty.

After the establishment of the Nantian Dynasty, she apprenticed under Master Nantian from the Nantian Sacred Land.

She was brought to the outer battlefield early on and has guarded here ever since.

Many like Nantian Yue exist on the outer battlefield.

Since arriving on the outer battlefield, they have never taken a single step away from here.

They have dedicated their life’s efforts to the outer battlefield.

Guarding the fortress above.

Therefore, their existence is merely a legend or long-forgotten by the people of the Qingtian Realm.

They are the unsung heroes who quietly make their sacrifices.

At this moment.

On the city tower of Azure Dragon Fortress.

Nantian Yue, holding a longsword in one hand, wears a look of deep solemnity, her brows furrowed, intensely staring at the powerful figures floating in the air outside.

Among them are three Hermit Saint Venerate Realm experts, including Li Chengfeng.

And the scattered experts that follow them.

They glaringly eye the Azure Dragon Fortress ahead.

Besides Li Chengfeng, the two other Hermit Saints are siblings, the brother Chen Zhanxiong and the sister Chen Zhanyi. Though their cultivation is only at the Thousand Steps Great Tao, the two have a spiritual connection.

Once they join forces, even facing experts at Two Thousand Steps Great Tao is within their capabilities.

This is why the three dare to occupy a fortress each.

Chen Zhanyi, holding a snake-head staff, her eyes sharp and cold like a venomous serpent, stares at Nantian Yue: "Nantian Yue, don’t resist. We already know about Master Nantian’s fall. You can’t defend the Azure Dragon Fortress alone; hand it over to us!"

"Nonsense!"

Nantian Yue snorts coldly, exuding the courage that women are not inferior to men, shouting sharply, "Grand Aunt promised the Master to guard the Azure Dragon Fortress. Even if it costs my life, I will not hesitate..."

"Following Master Nantian into the outer battlefield all these years, yet still stuck at ninety-nine steps on the Great Tao, it’s clear how harsh Master Nantian was to you. Moreover, he’s dead now, why persist for him?" Chen Zhanxiong said softly.

But Nantian Yue remains unmoved.

She suffered severe injuries and severed her Great Tao Foundation during a great battle in the Supreme Venerate Realm, making it exceedingly difficult to break through to the Sacred Venerate Realm, even on the outer battlefield.

Furthermore, although the outer battlefield implements an elite policy.

Even a single Azure Dragon Fortress has millions of strong guardians.

With resources divided layer by layer,

what truly reaches them is actually very little.

Aside from this,

powerhouses like Ge Tianhuang with outstanding talent are still hoped by the sacred lands to achieve sainthood in the Qingtian Realm independently, rather than using the Great Tao fragments from the outer battlefield to ascend.

After all,

though the Great Tao fragments can propel one into the Saint Realm, it is like pulling up seedlings to encourage growth.

This is also why Master Nantian waited for Ge Tianhuang to be stuck at ninety-nine steps on the Great Tao for nearly a thousand years before bringing him to the outer battlefield.

"Hmph, since you refuse to drink to our toast, don’t blame us for being ruthless!" Chen Zhanxiong snorted coldly, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently, the terrifying pressure of the Saint Venerate Realm enveloping the vast Azure Dragon Fortress.

In the Azure Dragon Fortress.

Nantian Yue’s face is stern, clenching her weapon tightly, shouting loudly: "Soldiers of the Azure Dragon Fortress, we have guarded this fortress with the Master for thousands of years, never retreating even from the foreign creatures. Today, we must not let these selfish villains set foot in the Azure Dragon Fortress!"

"Resist to the death!"

"Defend the fortress!"

The immense Azure Dragon Fortress echoed with deafening roars.

This made Chen Zhanxiong and the others’ faces darken further.

Chen Zhanyi lightly taps the void with her snake-head staff, the void covering with ice, freezing into a layer of ice which then shatters with a snap.

Transforming into huge glaciers, giant floes.

"Go!"

With a wave of Chen Zhanyi’s hand.

The glaciers and floes shot out in succession.

Rumble!

The terrifying glaciers crashed fiercely against the Defensive Array of the Azure Dragon Fortress.

The entire Array buzzed and resonated.

Even the Azure Dragon Fortress vibrated violently.

Li Chengfeng wore an indifferent expression: "The Azure Dragon Fortress was managed by Master Nantian for thousands of years. This Defensive Array is not that easy to break, let me do it!"

"Li’s swordsmanship skills are astonishing and can slay saints with one strike. He can certainly break this Array!" Chen Zhanxiong said with a smile.

Chen Zhanyi was somewhat displeased.

But faced with Li Chengfeng’s superior strength, she had no choice but to say: "I’ll trouble you then!"

"Hmm!"

Li Chengfeng nodded indifferently.

His robes fluttered fiercely as he rose swiftly to the sky.

Suspension high up in the firmament.

With one hand in mid-air.

Light flowed over his arm, the power of heaven and earth endless and vast, converging into a world-shattering sword light. The sword light spanned thousands of miles; wherever it passed, the void trembled, and even the Ancient Stars couldn’t withstand its powerful strike.

"Sword Slash Across Eternity!"

Li Chengfeng held the sword with one hand, his expression indifferent.

Raising his arm high.

Then suddenly slashing down fiercely.

Buzz!

The thousand-mile-long sword split from the sky.

Rumble!

The sky shattered, the universe overturned.

This sword was powerful to the extreme.

Nantian Yue’s face changed drastically, shouting repeatedly: "Quick, quickly stabilize the Defensive Array..."

"Hurry..."

One expert after another made their move to reinforce the Defensive Array of the Azure Dragon Fortress.

However...

When this sword descended.

The vast array light shield only held for a moment before shattering with a bang.

The horrifying energy swept across in an instant.

Rumble!

The terrifying sword light crushed down from above.

The unparalleled sharp sword edge sliced through the Array shield at once.

The explosively shattered Array fragments shot in all directions.

But the terrifying sword light still continued forward.

Slashing down at Nantian Yue and others.

This sword intended to kill them all.

"It’s over..."

"The Azure Dragon Fortress can’t be defended..." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Nantian Yue and others closed their eyes in despair.

But just then...

A monstrous giant finger suddenly shot out from the distant sky.

Amid a deafening boom,

The thousand-mile sword was pinched and explosively shattered by this finger.

The power of one finger,

surpassed Li Chengfeng’s full-strength sword!

A deep voice simultaneously echoed through the void: "Li Chengfeng, you are courting death!"
