Emperor’s Domination

rrier on top of attacking the two foes.

This would have dominated anyone from the same generation.
Alas, he was facing two experienced cultivators.

They easily stopped the attack and broke through his barrier, sending him flying and vomiting blood.
This was merciful since they could have killed him with one move.

They came for the vessel and didn’t need to kill Shanjian.
Doing so would be quite problematic, to say the least – nothing short of declaring war on the academy.

“Give it here!” Ascension Sacred Lord appeared next to Shaojin and raised his saber. 

He instantly attacked, not wanting to lose this godsend opportunity of obtaining the vessel.
Plus, he was confident in outrunning the other dragon lords.

“Don’t even think about it!” Radiant Young Monarch formed a mudra to send a wheel of light to stop Ascension.
The dao exploded and crushed the area in its path.

“Clank!” Suddenly, they heard the hymn of a saber.
Bloodlust took over instantly even before the formation of saber energy.

This happened in the blink of an eye and shocked everyone including Four-faced Venerable and Three-armed Monarch.

The gleam of a saber shone with a crimson hue, slicing through the air.

The young monarch cursed, rapidly dodging and escaping since he wasn’t overly committed. 

Meanwhile, Ascension Sacred Lord was caught in Shaojin ’s trap.
He sensed the impending danger and quickly summoned the power of his sacred fruit to defend with his saber.
But to his horror, the slash broke through his sacred fruit and grand dao, cleanly slicing his head off. 

Blood spurted out as his lifeless body hit the ground.
As his head tumbled, he caught a glimpse of his own torso.

Even with his quick escape, the young monarch wasn ’t completely unscathed, suffering serious injuries.
A mere fraction of a second slower, and he would have suffered the same fate as Ascension Sacred Lord.

Students gasped in shock, witnessing the unprecedented event of one dragon lord being killed and the other badly injured.
The pervasive bloodlust shook them to the core. 

Four-faced and Three-armed promptly retreated at the sight.
Then, they noticed an old man in an iron hat standing beside Yue Shanjian.
The old man had already sheathed his saber after the single, fatal strike.

“Bloodsea Blade!” They felt alarmed.
