Chapter 424: Start of War

The power the tower had just displayed was enough to reflect its terrifying potential, even if it was with the support of the energy vortex. To be able to fuse eight rare treasures so easily, that tower was definitely a hard-to-come-by treasure.

Even if he couldn’t get such a treasure, he couldn’t let the enemy take it back so easily.

Those were the true thoughts of the foreign races.

“You’re looking for death!”

Li Xiang’s expression turned stern as he shouted. A Green Battle Sword suddenly flew out from the tower.

That was the embryo of the rare sword treasure nurtured but never used in the Tower of Stars. It had turned into a green lotus and was planted in the grotto-heaven world.

That was the first time it had appeared in the world.

As soon as it appeared, an unparalleled dazzling light burst out from it.

The Qinglian Excalibur immediately split into countless tiny sword lights. Some collided with Li Qing’s light beam, while others fused to form a sword that slashed at the Python’s tail. And the majority shot toward Li Qing like comets.

“Pfft!”

The Python’s tail was cut off in an instant. The sword light then turned and shot toward the Python.

On the other side, the Scorpion race’s chief, Li Qing, had already let out a roar. He suddenly pushed out his palm, forming a light barrier in front that firmly shielded him.

“Boom boom boom…”

The dense rain of swords landed on it and exploded. White flames splashed down, and the light shield didn’t even last for a breath before it shattered.

Li Qing was indeed worthy of being the Scorpion race’s chief. He only needed a brief moment to catch his breath before he reacted, and a huge shield suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Boom!”

The blazing white flames turned Li Qing’s position into a sea of fire.

Even though he had defended himself in time, the scorching flames were a natural nemesis of Li Qing’s evil aura, causing his energy consumption to increase several times.

Even so, it couldn’t protect his entire body. Many strands of the white sacred flames broke through his defense and splashed on him.

“Ah!”

Li Qing let out a blood-curdling screech. Just a small amount of sacred flames that burned his body had already brought him immense pain.

On the other side, the small sword flying toward the Python was swallowed by it.

However, it was actually not that easy to swallow that small sword. The Tower of Stars trembled slightly, and the Python’s huge body quivered suddenly. Within its body, countless tiny sword lights pierced through, and its blood splashed out before it was burned to ashes by the white flames.

Almost at the same time, countless rays of light gathered and formed a Green Battle Sword in the air.

Green light swirled around the sword, and green lotuses danced around it. It was a beautiful sight, but unparalleled fierce sword auras were also shooting out.

The sword auras seemed to have eyes as they shot toward Li Qing and the Python.

At that moment, the two of them finally reacted to the sudden attack.

“Ding ding ding…”

Li Qing raised his battle spear and continuously shattered the sword auras.

The Python spat out a yellow light, which condensed into a huge earth wall in front of it.

“Pa, pa, pa…!”

The sword auras were like raindrops hitting a banana leaf, puncturing the earth wall. Some even pierced through it, hitting the Python hiding behind and causing it to tremble.

The fight between the three seemed to have taken a long time, but it only happened in the blink of an eye.

“Despicable!”

Fu Mingxue was also infuriated by the Scorpion race’s actions. Not to mention their friendship, but even because they were both humans, he couldn’t stand by and watch them use such despicable methods to target Li Xiang.

“Clang!”

The crisp and swift sound of a weapon being unsheathed rang out. A bright blade light with the aura of death swept out almost simultaneously.

Heaven Slaying Sword Draw!

The blade light carried an indomitable will that seemed to cut through everything. It streaked across the space in the middle of the platform and arrived instantly.

The attack was too fast. Before the sound of the long blade being unsheathed ended, the blade light had already arrived.

The others couldn’t see the process of sword draw and attack. They could only see a bright flash of the blade light.

“Dang!”

Li Qing’s reaction was swift. He managed to block Li Xiang’s Qinglian Excalibur’s continuous sword auras with great difficulty but could still react in time and discover Fu Mingxue’s blade light.

The spear in his hand didn’t change much. He just swung it forward and blocked the blade light.

However, the blade light was easy to block, but the terrifying force and will to cut through everything carried by the blade light could not be resisted.

“Thump thump thump!”

Li Qing took three or four steps back, his eyes flashing with a cold light, but black blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth.

The attack just now had already caused him to suffer considerable injuries.

At the same time, a huge blade mark appeared on the spear in his hand.

Although the spear in his hand was not a top-notch supreme treasure, its material quality was among its peers’ best. Now, it was almost scrapped by that blade.

If he continued to fight with the spear, it might break at some point because it couldn’t bear the pressure of the enormous force.

In a battle, life and death could be decided by a hair’s breadth. If that battle spear was used to continue fighting, it might very likely break at a critical moment, resulting in immediate death.

Li Qing’s eyes were filled with hostility as he glared at Fu Mingxue and roared, “All humans should die!”

Whoosh!

He casually threw his spear to the side and waved his hand. Another spear appeared in his hand. It looked the same, but the difference between the two could be seen from the luster.

His eyes were icy, and he was about to charge out.

However, he didn’t expect the blade to erupt instantly and slash at his head after the blade light opposite him suddenly disappeared.

That was simply disregarding him. Using the same move twice, if that wasn’t looking down on him, what was?

On the other side, Niu Ben was watching the battle and had an excited expression. The battle intent in his body felt like it couldn’t be contained. He raised the battle axe and hacked at the Boulder Man next to him. He didn’t care if the other party provoked him or not. He completely treated that place as a place for sparring.

As for the treasure in the platform’s center, he believed that as long as he defeated everyone, the treasure there would naturally be his.

If he lost, then even if he got the treasure now, he wouldn’t be able to take it away.

“Hahaha, Boulder Man, fight with me!”

When Li Xiang saw Niu Ben’s hot-blooded childish behavior, he didn’t know why, but he didn’t have the slightest disgust for that guy. Instead, the corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile.

That guy looked rough, but he had a pure heart. He looked simple and clumsy, but in fact, he was ingenious.

Otherwise, why would he only choose the Boulder Man out of so many people?

On the battleaxe, the domineering force condensed into a golden blade, chopping at the Boulder Man without hesitation.

The Boulder Man was initially enjoying the show and was ready to find an opportunity to snatch the treasure. He didn’t expect the person beside him to attack him without warning, which made him a little dumbfounded.
