Both
The other families were also shaken with uncertainty.
"Nominating you as alliance leader isn't out of the question," Li Xiao said first. As long as they could get out, it hardly mattered who led — the survival conditions in the Black Hell World were far too harsh. Once they left, who would still be willing to follow Sikong Yi as their leader?
Sikong Yi seemed to read their thoughts and let out a cold laugh. "As long as you swallow these, I'll lead you out!" In his palm appeared a black pill.
At the sight of this, Li Xiao and the others' expressions changed. They naturally knew exactly what that black pill was.
"Ridiculous. You expect us to swallow your Silver Wing Family's Mysterious Marrow Pill on the basis of a mere hypothetical teleportation array?" Mo Ya scoffed, looking at Sikong Yi. "You're far too naive!"
"Today, you either die or swallow the Mysterious Marrow Pill. You have no other choice!" Sikong Yi snorted coldly, and a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body. The pair of silver wings behind him burst open with a thunderous boom, their span stretching five or six meters.
The force of Sikong Yi's aura sent the people nearby stumbling backward.
Mo Ya and Li Xiao exchanged a glance. This old thief Sikong Yi had grown in power at an alarming rate. Though the two of them had their own share of grudges, at this point they had no choice but to join forces.
Sikong Yi let out a deep shout and lunged at Mo Ya and Li Xiao like a tiger springing from ambush.
Mo Ya and Li Xiao both launched themselves into the air. Bang, bang, bang — three Legendary-level combatants clashed in a fierce melee.
The heads of the other families looked at each other in dismay. Had Sikong Yi lost his mind? He had suddenly become this aggressive, and if he actually won, the rest of them would be powerless to stop him! All they could do was watch. A battle between three Legendary warriors — even being caught in the crossfire would be devastating.
A terrifying brawl raged for several hours, and despite fighting together, Li Xiao and Mo Ya gradually found themselves losing ground.
Sikong Yi's increase in strength was truly horrifying. He had long since overwhelmed both of them. The battle between these three Legendary powerhouses had everyone on edge.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Li Xiao and Mo Ya's sword qi slashed into Sikong Yi, but every strike was deflected by his violent energy.
"Li Xiao, Mo Ya, it's no use. Your sword qi can't hurt me. I've already activated my Silver Wing Family's inherited bloodline power through a secret technique. You're absolutely no match for me!" A deep growl rumbled from Sikong Yi's throat as his body blurred into afterimages. His palm strikes hammered into Li Xiao and Mo Ya in an instant, sending them flying.
The two vomited blood and barely managed to stay on their feet. Sikong Yi's palm strike had displaced their internal organs. Their faces were ashen — they had never imagined Sikong Yi's power could reach such a level.
Seeing Li Xiao and Mo Ya sent flying, the expressions of the family heads drained of color.
"Li Xiao, Mo Ya — if you won't take the Mysterious Marrow Pill, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Sikong Yi advanced toward them step by step like the god of death.
Li Xiao and Mo Ya struggled to stand, but they were spitting blood, their faces pale as gold paper. Sikong Yi's blow had gravely injured them.
Just then, a deep shout rang out.
"Sikong Yi, you old thief — you murdered my parents. Today I will take your head!" A figure came hurtling through the air from the distance.
Hearing the voice carry toward him, Sikong Yi threw his head back and laughed. "I, Sikong Yi, have killed more people than I can count. Too many have wanted my head. I'd very much like to see who thinks they can take it today!" Sikong Yi turned around, and when he saw
"That's right — it's me, Duan Jian! I've been waiting for this day for a very long!" Duan Jian's muscles bulged across his entire body as he raised the Black Flame Sword and brought it crashing down toward Sikong Yi.
Black infernal flames instantly engulfed Duan Jian's body, making him look like a demon god risen from hell.
"Little brat. Last time I was careless and let you slip away, and you actually dare to come back? This time I'll kill you with my own hands. You think you can avenge your parents? You're still far too green!" Sikong Yi sneered. If Duan Jian had stayed gone after escaping, he might have kept his life — but to actually return was practically suicide.
Sikong Yi spread his wings and charged straight at Duan Jian.
Boom!
Two tremendous forces collided. A violent shockwave radiated outward from the point of impact.
The force threatened to swallow everyone whole.
