Chapter 2,244: The Sparrow Behind

the rostrum, this exchange meeting was personally hosted by President Alice. After a brief opening remark, she continued, “Now, I would like to introduce you to the guest lecturers invited for this e...The man in black had a large mustache and fierce eyes. According to his plan, he wanted to strike first and seize the Dragon-Sucking Stone before anyone else.

Just as he reached out, a sharp sword glow slashed towards him. The one who made the move was Jiang Fangzhou.

"Just you Get out of here!"

The burly man in black hadn't expected the opponent's swordsmanship to be so sharp, and he hurriedly retreated.

But in the end, it was still a little too slow. A sword strike left a blood gash across his left arm, spanning a foot long.

Just then, three dark figures appeared in mid-air, their swords transforming into three dazzling rainbows that shot towards Ye Bufan.

"Die!"

One after another, Lu Xue Man, Hu Yao Yao, and Chu Ling Xi, three women, rose into the air. The swords in their hands met the enemy head-on.

In that instant, the air became a chaotic mess, but Ye Bufan remained unfazed. He sipped his fragrant tea with an air of calm serenity.

That black-clothed man was only at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and in front of Jiang Fangzhou, he was completely suppressed and unable to raise his head. He had no power to resist at all.

After two moves, the sword in Jiang Fangzhou's hand flashed, and his head flew high, a surge of blood splattering the scene.

The other three black-clothed men who were preparing to take advantage of the situation and launch a surprise attack met the same fate. Within a few moves, they were beheaded by Lu Xueman and the others. Their corpses fell to the ground, sending up puffs of dust.

"Sex sounds..."

A sudden burst of applause rang out, followed by a tall bald man stepping out from the shadows.

This guy had a face full of tough meat, his eyes were fierce, and every inch of his body was covered in knotted muscles, just like he was made of steel and iron.

"I didn't expect you little guys to have some skills, but it's still far from enough. Hand over the Dragon-Sucking Stone quickly, or you'll all die today."

The bald man's name was Wu Chenggang, and he practiced a powerful body-refining technique. Because of this, people nicknamed him Copper Head Iron Wall.

His cultivation has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, only one step away from the Void Core Realm.

For this very reason, even though so many people had failed and died before him, he didn't let it faze him.

"Baldassare, you're going to die!"

Jiang Fangzhou roared, his sword thrust directly at the opponent's face.

"Overreaching oneself!"

A trace of disdain flashed across Wu Chenggang's face, followed by a slap as wide as a fan with one hand.

Jiang Fangzhou's sword pierced into his palm, yet it felt as if she had stabbed a copper wall.

Then a wave of overwhelming force slammed into him, sending him flying dozens of meters and crashing into three or four trees in a row.

Seizing the opportunity, Lu Xue Man and her two companions also thrust their swords forward, each blade piercing Wu Chenggang's body. However, all they heard was a ringing clang of metal against metal, as none of the blows could even scratch him.

"Little girls, I will not kill you, all of you, get back!"

Wu Chenggang waved his hand again, and the three people were also blown away.

At that moment, a sharp sword light slashed through the night sky, aiming straight for his face. Ye Bufan had made his move.

Facing the long sword that slashed through the void, Wu Chenggang's expression changed slightly: "It's a bit interesting, but it's still lacking!"

Mid-sentence, he suddenly shot out his right hand, his two fingers clamping down on the tip of the sword with pinpoint accuracy.

In this way, the sword could no longer advance even an inch, and Ye Bufan's entire body floated in mid-air.

"Little one, see how powerful I am Quickly hand over the Dragon-Sucking Stone, or this will be your fate."

A hint of triumph appeared on Wu Chenggang's face, and then with a slight tightening of his two fingers, there was a snap. The sword was forcibly broken into two pieces.

Then Ye Bufan's figure was shaken back and forth, landing after flying backwards for several steps, with a look of astonishment on his face.

"This..."

At this moment, Jiang Fangzhou and the others steadied themselves once more, preparing to strike again, but he raised his hand to stop them.

"Well, we're not their match."

"Well-eyed, kid."

Wuchen said proudly, "A wise man knows the times. Hand over the Dragon-Absorbing Stone Lady quickly."

A mere mortal, like you, shouldn't possess such a treasure. You can't possibly protect it with your current abilities. Surrender it to me, and I'll spare your life!

"You ignorant fool, who gave you the courage!"

A cold voice sounded, followed by a black shadow appearing in the courtyard. It was Zhu Rong Ling Tian, the master of the Burning Heaven Gate.

Then, a strange sight occurred. Suddenly, a flame burst out from within Wu Chenggang's body, engulfing him entirely.

"Master Zhuru, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I don't want the Dragon-Absorbing Stone anymore. I'm leaving now..."

Wucheng Gang pleaded incessantly, but before he could finish his words, he was completely transformed into a cloud of ash, dissipating into the void.

Zhu Rong was radiating intense heat all over his body, yet his expression remained chillingly cold, emanating an overwhelming aura of power.

Having slain Tongtou Tiebi Wu Chenggang, his gaze fell upon Ye Bufan and the others.

"I am the master of Burning Heaven Gate. Hand over the Dragon-Sucking Stone, and I will spare your lives. Otherwise, this will be your fate."

Zhuge Lingtian spoke, stretching out a finger towards the pile of ashes beside him. It was clear he had just killed Wu Chenggang, intending to make an example of him.

"That..."

Ye Bufan's face showed a hint of fear, "Are you sure that if I hand over that thing, you will let us go"

Zhu Rong Tian Ling said: “As the master of my sect, of course, I keep my word.”

"Well then, I'll leave it to you. At the time, I thought it was just a piece of firestone, and I didn't know what use it had."

Ye Bufan spoke, extending a hand. A stone appeared in his palm, and instantly, a wave of scorching heat filled the entire arena.

Zhu Rongtian's pupils contracted, and his face lit up with excitement.

"Dragon absorbing stone, it really is a dragon absorbing stone!"

Before, he had been looking at images and still held a sliver of doubt.

Now seeing the artifact, I can feel the dragon's energy within it. I am certain I did not misidentify it.

"Leave it to me!"

Zhu Rong Tian Ling spoke, reaching out with a hand towards the Dragon Absorbing Stone.

Ye Bufan showed no reaction, as if he had already given up on this stone.

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared beside him, one on the left and one on the right. One was dark and the other bright, their sharp palm winds striking towards Zhu Rong Ling Tian.

"Zhurong old man, we brothers want this thing!"

It was the Yin-Yang Twins who arrived. The Gongsun brothers had been searching for so long for the dragon to absorb stones, and now that they finally had a lead, of course they couldn't miss it.

"You dare!"

Seeing the duck fly away right before his beak, Zhu Rong Ling Tian was furious. He shot out two palms, two fire dragons directly attacking the Gongsun brothers.

The three individuals were all at the mid-stage of the Dongxu Realm. In terms of cultivation, Zhu Rong and Ling Tian had a slight advantage.

The two Yin-Yang Immortals could work together, and as brothers, they excelled at a combined attack technique that was enough to bridge the gap between them.

Three people were fighting fiercely, when suddenly another figure shot out from the side, moving with astonishing speed.

Before Zhulong Tianling and the Two Immortals of Yin and Yang could react, he was already before Ye Bufan. With one hand, he grabbed towards Longxi Stone, and with the other, his sword pierced straight through Ye Bufan's right chest.

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan let out a cry of pain, falling backwards to the ground, while the Dragon-sucking Stone fell into the hands of the man in black.

After securing his success, the man didn't linger for a moment. He once again transformed into a streak of light and shot off into the distance.

"Young one, where are you going"

Zhu Rong, Ling Tian, and the two immortals Yin Yang never expected that while they were fighting each other, a sparrow was waiting in the wings.

Seeing that their treasures were lost, they could no longer fight. The three of them shouted in unison and chased after the direction where the shadow disappeared.
