Chapter 1131: Chapter 1132: Don’t Move, Just Need to Hammer It Once
Long Aotian’s face was a picture of panic, transformed into a small dragon-like figure on the platform, darting up and down. He had just dodged Su Yunbing’s hammer when Li Xiaobai’s sword light came slashing through, sweeping past his shoulder like a bamboo split open, bringing with it a cascade of blood splattering in all directions.
In the void, a severed arm covered in blue scales and spewing blood was tossed high into the air, and Long Aotian narrowly escaped the fatal blow.
“Thud!”
Grazed by the Sword Qi, he spat out blood from his mouth wildly, as if it were free.
He fell to the ground with a thud.
“My hand, my hand!”
Ignoring the injuries within his body, Long Aotian’s eyes were filled with terror, staring incredulously as he clutched his severed arm wound.
This was the first time in his life someone had severed his arm. Though regenerating a severed limb for a cultivator in the Heavenly Immortal Realm was not difficult, his heart still couldn’t stop trembling. The terror was even more intense than when he had been enveloped by Su Yunbing’s enormous hammer.
“Ao Tian!”
On the stone pillar, the Great Elder’s face changed drastically, and he immediately stood up, ready to rush down to rescue him. At that very moment, an emaciated, aged hand landed heavily on his shoulder, pressing him back down with the weight of a mountain.
“Sit down!”
“The battle on the platform is the focus of the multitude. Life and death are determined by fate. How could you intervene?”
The Second Elder, smacking his lips lightly, indifferently spoke. With so many descendants of prominent families dying on the platform, if Ice Dragon Island intervened to save people now, it would only invite public anger and criticism. Besides, he couldn’t wait for the lineage of the Great Elder to die out and wouldn’t give him a chance to save someone.
“Damn it, he’s my disciple! He is also the future of Ice Dragon Island!”
The Great Elder glared furiously, with bursts of Immortal Yuan Power erupting within his body. Yet, he still couldn’t move a muscle. The hand on his shoulder was immovable, as steady as a mountain, which shocked him profoundly. How could this be possible? What level of strength and cultivation level did this old man possess?
“Indeed, as Long Aotian is the Great Disciple of Ice Dragon Island, he is the disciple with the most potential to break through to the Semi-Saint level. We absolutely cannot afford to lose him.”
“Second Elder, set personal grievances aside for now, and prioritize the greater situation!”
The Island Master’s beautiful eyes flickered sharply as she stood up and spoke coldly.
She had hoped to see the two Elders engaging in an internal struggle, but if it threatened the future of the island, she would not stand idly by. She wouldn’t grieve over the many disciples from other powers who died on the island today, but the genius of her Ice Dragon Island absolutely had to survive. There was only Long Aotian with the blue-blood lineage. With Long Xue of the higher order purple-blood lineage not yet grown, the sole seedling of this isolated island was irreplaceable!
“How dare you! Do you truly understand what ‘prioritizing the greater situation’ means? Not even the former Island Master dared utter those words to me!”
“The most important thing in the martial world is righteousness, in founding a sect is trust, in conduct is virtue, in following a sect is loyalty. I see none of you touches on any of these virtues. I really don’t know what the former Island Master saw in you, a sickly ghost, to let such a vase become the Island Master!”
“You sit down too!”
The Second Elder’s expression turned stern, with a glint in his eyes, he gently pressed in the air with his other hand. The Island Master suddenly felt as if an immense force was pressing down on her, immobilizing her just like the Great Elder.
“You…”
Her face also changed color; the force was more towering and substantial than any mountain, as if the opponent had moved an entire ocean to weigh down on her shoulders, rendering her as immobile as a straw in the wind, at the mercy of this colossal force.
What kind of power was this?
She was of the Dragon Race, a Saint Realm powerhouse, and even though her time was running out, her strength and cultivation level were no less than the Great Elder. Could it really be that the Second Elder, despite having followed Ice Dragon Island since long ago, was capable of suppressing both of them simultaneously?
“Zhang Liancheng, how can you be so selfish? I know you’ve long held a grudge because you dislike me and the Island Master, but you shouldn’t be playing with the future of Ice Dragon Island as a joke!”
“If Ao Tian were to die, what would become of the island’s future? We wouldn’t be able to find another genius with the power of the blue-blood lineage!”
The Great Elder’s face turned awkward, his heart burning with rage and anxiety, but the reality was that he dared not act rashly; he could only try to suppress his fury and attempt to persuade the Second Elder—God knows what this old fellow was thinking, leaping out at this crucial moment to play them for fools. Was it amusing to him?
“The future?”
“As long as I am here, the future of Ice Dragon Island will always be bright!”
“Don’t think that just because this little girl promoted you to Great Elder, you actually consider yourself somebody, nor should you think that just because the old Island Master chose you as a trusted Island Master, you really hold great power. In front of me, you are all nothing but little brothers!”
“I am the future of this island!”
Murderous intention faintly emerged in the Second Elder’s eyes, as if years of repressed resentment were on the brink of erupting. Both the Island Master and the Great Elder couldn’t help but shiver; they had not seen the old man make a move for so many years that they had almost forgotten how many springs and autumns he had lived through.
“The contest will continue!”
The cultivators surrounding them were almost popping their eyes out at the scene. The eunuch-like old man who spoke in a queer tone actually suppressed the Great Elder and the Island Master as if they were mere chicks?

They had all sensed the terrifying aura bursting out from the bodies of the Island Master and the Great Elder; even from afar, one could feel the thick scent of impending death—it was a presence that could kill them with a glance. And yet, now they were being suppressed by a skinny old man!
What kind of cultivation level was this?
Weren’t all of you in the Saint Realm? Is there such a vast difference even within the Saint Realm?
“Ice Dragon Island actually has such a master. Report this immediately, and ensure the news reaches Elder Fang and the others as soon as possible!”
In the spectator seats, the Elder of the Blood Demon Sect instructed the young cultivators beside him to write a letter to be rushed back to the sect. The Blood Demon Sect had reached some sort of cooperation with the Great Elder Lin Bei and was executing a secretive plan. They could not allow this sudden appearance of the Second Elder to interrupt it.
“Don’t know if the plan has started yet, damn Lin Bei, such important intelligence and he didn’t inform us. With such a powerful master hidden on the island, it seems our plans will be thwarted!”
“Hurry, send word, and make sure none of our people get caught up in this!”
At this moment, besides him, there were still other masters of the Blood Demon Sect on the island; it was necessary to send them a warning.
Besides him, the other sect Elders were also taking action, calling their trusted followers to them, appearing somewhat anxious.
On the stage.
The three of them looked up at the commotion above the pillar, confirmed that the Great Elder and the Island Master were really being suppressed, and unable to enter the fray before they finally withdrew their gaze.
Li Xiaobai and Su Yunbing exchanged glances, both seeing the smile and relief in each other’s eyes. They had not expected that at this critical moment, an internal struggle would break out in Ice Dragon Island. It seemed like even the heavens were helping them!
Today, Long Aotian was doomed!
But looking at Long Aotian, his face was ashen, somewhat dazed. A lone Second Elder had managed to hold down both the Island Master and his mentor, leaving no one daring to climb onto this stage to help him escape the predicament. His fate was sealed.
“What do you mean by this?”
“Didn’t we just agree to join forces and help Long?”
“How come the two of you have teamed up in the blink of an eye!”
Long Aotian staggered to his feet, picked up the severed arm that had fallen to the ground, and swallowed a few elixirs, attempting to reattach the limb.
“I did seriously consider your suggestion, but I think since it’s been so hard to get one fighting chance on the platform, I should indulge in a fierce battle. It’s not fitting for those unworthy to meddle in a battle of the strong. Thus, I must kill you first before I can have a proper fight with Senior Sister Su.”
Li Xiaobai stood with his hands behind his back, speaking indifferently, his gaze filled with apathy. In his eyes, Long Aotian was not even worth considering.
“Heh, I didn’t think too much about it. I was preparing to end the fight with two hammer blows. Killing anyone first is the same; you just happened to be standing closer to me.”
“But the fact that you actually managed to dodge was unexpected. Not bad, you’re qualified to become a significant ant.”
Su Yunbing said with a grin.
“I’m not afraid to tell you the truth either, Long Xue is mine, and no one can take him away!”
“Even if Long someone fails, you still won’t be able to take them with you. If you voluntarily leave the platform now, maybe I’ll let you off the hook, otherwise, I’ll make sure you never leave Ice Dragon Island for the rest of your lives!”
Long Aotian’s gaze was icy, barely able to contain his outrage. His efforts at persuasion had only earned ridicule. He had thought he could incite two allies to fight each other to the death, but he never expected he would turn out to be the clown in the end!
Still, his mouth was full of taunts and threats. He was stalling for time, waiting to reattach his arm and run away. Once he left the platform, there would be people to protect him.
He was Ice Dragon Island’s number one genius; he wouldn’t risk his life over something as trivial as fighting over a woman.
But soon, he realized something was amiss. He couldn’t reattach the severed arm!
At the stump near his shoulder, there was a faint black aura swirling, tiny and subtle. It was what was obstructing the regeneration of his arm, and conventional methods were useless against it. The elixirs he had taken had no effect at all.
“You’ve sure got a lot to say today. Trying to stall with your talk so you can reattach your arm?”
“Elder Han advises you not to waste your effort. You can’t break my sword technique.”
Li Xiaobai said cheerfully. Within his Sword Qi was a trace of the Demon Sealing Sword Evocation. Even a slight touch could corrode the flesh, and if Long Aotian had no external help, he wouldn’t be able to reattach that arm.
But there was no longer any need for the arm to regenerate; the man was already a sitting duck, easy to kill. Daring to covet his wife warranted this outcome.
“What the hell is this black substance that’s stopping my arm from regenerating!”
“What kind of demonic sword technique are you using?”
Long Aotian’s thoughts were laid bare, leaving him completely panicked. The inability to reattach his arm made him feel even more terrified and insecure. Would he really lose his hand over this without rhyme or reason?
“Stop the nonsense; you’re going to die anyway, sooner or later.”
“I’m in a hurry today, so I’ll gift you another hammer blow.”
Su Yunbing walked over and picked up the hammer, swinging it with full force. A golden rune exploded in the void, bursting like fireworks, unleashing a terrifying aura as it thunderously smashed down towards Long Aotian.
“Fuck, Long someone isn’t a vegetarian either!”
“Do you really think Ice Dragon Island is so easy to belittle!”
“True Dragon Body!”
Long Aotian roared, his body swelling until a terrifying aura of destruction emerged, transforming into a deep blue giant dragon, its scream resonating shockingly.
“Evil Dragon’s Roar!”
“Breath!”
The towering dragon took up most of the platform, twisting its large yet agile body to dodge Su Yunbing’s hammer once more. It opened its bloody maw and exhaled a violent, dark blue breath, instantly enveloping both Li Xiaobai and Su Yunbing.
“Ice Dragon Burst!”
“Demon Dragon Wave!”
“Venomous Dragon Drill!”
Long Aotian’s massive jaws opened, spewing several fierce attacks in an instant. Robust cultivation techniques unfolded, with several Dragon Race’s unique skills aiming straight at the two people shrouded in the dragon’s breath.
The platform was filled with smoke and constant booming sounds. Amidst the successive explosions and spreading dust, the spectators outside could not clearly see the situation above.
In the sky, the dragon coiled, its crimson eyes fixed on the center of the platform. It could feel that the two people had not fled or dodged but chose to withstand the attack directly. As a member of the Dragon Race with Blue-blood Lineage using Dragon Race unique skills, even if these two prodigies were incredibly talented, they were bound to suffer some damage.
As the dust settled, two figures slowly emerged.
One held a sword, and the other carried a giant hammer. Li Xiaobai and Wu Chengjue were unharmed, facing the storm with nothing but calm on their faces.
Even when Long Aotian had revealed his True Dragon Body, he couldn’t affect them. Both were somewhat surprised by each other.
Wu Chengjue had not expected Li Xiaobai’s physical strength to be so formidable that he could withstand the attacks of the Dragon Race’s true form unharmed. Li Xiaobai was also surprised, as Su Yunbing had only needed to place the hammer in front of him to nullify all the attacks. Not only was his own strength extraordinary, but the hammer he wielded was also remarkable.
“How… how is this possible?”
“Walking out unharmed under my attack when I have revealed my true body!”
“The Dragon Race naturally intimidates the human race; how could such a thing happen among those of the same level?”
Long Aotian’s pupils trembled, his mind reeling in shock. The two before him didn’t seem like cultivators at all but two humanoid Primordial Behemoths. No cultivator could withstand his attack unscathed. How was he supposed to fight this? Wasn’t this bullying?
He was of the Dragon Race, after all. Couldn’t you at least show some reaction, even if not seriously wounded?
“Junior brother is quite extraordinary; Senior Sister has never seen such a robust physique before. How do you intend to deal with this little snake?”
Su Yunbing retracted her measuring gaze, asking.
“This dragon, strictly speaking, falls under the category of seafood. If possible, please leave a whole corpse; we can stew it and make a nourishing soup later.”
Li Xiaobai said.
“No problem; Junior Brother Six’s cooking skills are always top-notch.”
Su Yunbing carried the hammer, walking step by step to the giant dragon’s side. Her hand moved like lightning, piercing into its tail effortlessly like pressing into tofu, blood spurting wildly.
“Roar!”
The dragon, in pain, twisted its body, attempting to flee into the clear sky, but Su Yunbing’s firm grip dragged it back down to the ground.
Lifting the hammer high, Su Yunbing grinned:
“With me holding you, you won’t be able to escape. Quit thrashing your head around; a smash to the skull and you’re dead. If you dodge it, I’ll have to strike again, which isn’t worth it.”
