Chapter 303: Chapter 268: Surrender or Fight to the Death

"Surrender?"

Hearing Tuoba Wufeng shout this loudly, everyone present was taken aback.

Xuan Jizi retrieved her Flying Sword and disdainfully said, "The mighty Clan Leader of the Tuoba Clan would also surrender?"

After infusing Refined Gold into her Flying Sword, its quality improved by several grades.

Xuan Jizi felt that her power had suddenly surged, eager to challenge someone at any moment.

Just now, after exchanging a few moves with Tuoba Wufeng, his Flying Sword was riddled with notches from her Refined Gold Flying Sword.

She was confident that at most, within a quarter of an hour, she could take down Tuoba Wufeng!

He is a Qi Cultivation Late-stage Cultivator, and although she had made a breakthrough only a few months ago, how could she match Tuoba Wufeng?

But now, relying on a Refined Gold Flying Sword, she could suppress a veteran Qi Cultivation Late-stage expert.

This is really... so exhilarating!

Tuoba Wufeng twitched his mouth and said, "Everyone, we are all cultivators, naturally cherishing life."

"Moreover, my Tuoba Clan has no deep enmity with the Great Yu Zheng Royal Family..."

"Oh really?"

Chen Liancang also stepped out from Yongchun Palace, indifferently saying, "But I heard that someone from your Tuoba Clan died at the hands of our army."

"The fallen cultivator seems to be called... Tuoba Qingtong, right?"

Tuoba Wufeng shook his head and said, "Tuoba Qingtong was merely a branch disciple of my clan, not a direct line, and this person had ambitious ulterior motives, I’ve long thought of getting rid of him."

As they spoke, the sky above Yongchun Palace drastically changed, gray mist continuously enveloped it, clearly indicating the power of the array controlled by Tianxingzi.

At this moment, Puppet Xuan Ye retrieved the Dragon-slaying Sword and slowly walked towards Tuoba Wufeng.

Tuoba Wufeng also knew that this person was controlled by Emperor Zhengyong of Great Yu, immediately saying, "Emperor Zhengyong, my clan is willing to offer three... five hundred Spirit Sand!"

"Two Top-grade Magical Artifacts, one hundred Tier One Elixirs, fifty Tier One Talismans, ten Hundred-year Spirit Grass, and willing to form an alliance with the Great Yu Zheng Clan, what do you say?"

Puppet Xuan Ye stood firm, a cold voice suddenly coming from all around.

"Tuoba Wufeng... my Great Yu Zheng Clan killed your Tuoba Clan member, and you also infiltrated the Imperial Palace to assassinate me..."

Tuoba Wufeng was anxious and hastily said, "I’ve already said, I do not mind the affair with Tuoba Qingtong, after all, we are all cultivators, how can we easily risk our lives?"

"As long as you spare me this time, you can obtain a large amount of cultivation resources as compensation."

"But if you refuse, not only will you not get those cultivation resources, even I will have to fight desperately!"

"After this, my Tuoba Clan and your Great Yu Zheng Clan will truly be irreconcilable!"

Zheng Yi’s voice continued to echo, "Irreconcilable?"

"Hehehe... Tuoba Wufeng, the war has already started long ago."

"We... have already been irreconcilable!"

"Kill him!!!"

As soon as the words fell, Puppet Xuan Ye took a step forward, suddenly waving a hand, a blazing red banner rushed out from his back, like a cloak, wildly rolling towards Tuoba Wufeng.

Tuoba Wufeng’s expression also changed dramatically, his mouth opened wide as he swallowed a flaming red elixir into his abdomen.

In an instant, a fierce Spiritual Qi fluctuation emanated from him.

His own cultivation, incredibly in such a short time, was infinitely close to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Emperor Zhengyong, this is all your doing!!!"

He roared, raising both hands, a watery orb suddenly appeared in his grasp.

Instantly, an extremely cold aura surged from him, rushing wildly in all directions.

The speed of the Blazing Fire Banner released by Puppet Xuan Ye immediately slowed, even Xuan Jizi’s Flying Sword seemed to submerge into water, moving with difficulty.

Even the array secretly controlled by Tianxingzi was shaken to the brink of collapse.

Within the protection of the cold aura, Tuoba Wufeng rapidly made hand seals, simultaneously muttering spells at lightning speed.

"Dim and obscure, Heaven and Earth are born together; Dispersed forms Qi, gathered forms shapes; Cold Demon Spirit, form and spirit dissolve; At my command, obey my order!"

"Dec...!"

"Boom!"

In that instant, the blue-white jade orb in Tuoba Wufeng’s hand abruptly shattered, and a bloated, thick white serpent, about thirty meters long, surged out from it.

It spiraled upward, enveloping Tuoba Wufeng within, its massive maw raised high, spewing fiercely towards Puppet Xuan Ye!

"Puff!"

In an instant, an avalanche of cold air surged out, easily enveloping everything within several hundred meters.

"Not good!"

Suddenly, Tianxingzi exclaimed, "Cold Demon! That’s a Cold Demon Spirit! You’ve gone mad!"

"The Cold Demon dances, sealing a thousand miles, snow falls, leaving geese shocked in the void!"

Tuoba Wufeng laughed heartily, "Since you all want me dead, then I shall make the entire Capital City accompany me in death!"

"Hahahaha..."

"Emperor Zhengyong, just wait for the entire Capital City to be frozen into ice sculptures!"

"Hiss!"

The Cold Demon Spirit spewed another breath of cold air, causing the array controlled by Tianxingzi to flicker crazily, on the verge of shattering.

"Your Majesty!"

Tianxingzi shouted, "The jade orb in Tuoba Wufeng’s hand is likely the Golden Core Stage Cold Demon Inner Core, once activated with a secret technique, it can summon a Cold Demon Spirit."

"The Cold Demon is an ice attribute demon beast, places it haunts can freeze for miles, mortals cannot possibly withstand it..."

"If truly left unchecked, not just the Capital City, the entire Imperial Palace will inevitably become a dead zone!"

Tianxingzi frantically made hand seals, maintaining the array against collapse.

At this moment, however, Puppet Xuan Ye began to move drastically, raising his hand, causing the Blazing Fire Banner to soar into the sky, transforming into surging flames, which enveloped all the cold air within Yongchun Palace.

For a moment, the cold aura and blazing heat, with their fundamentally opposing energies, clashed and obliterated each other uncontrollably.

Zheng Yi’s silhouette eerily appeared behind Puppet Xuan Ye, coldly saying, "Cold Demon? Freezing miles..."

"If the real Cold Demon were here, I would naturally steer clear."

"But just a Cold Demon Inner Core, I doubt how long Tuoba Wufeng can endure!"

He made a hand seal, casually slapping the back of Puppet Xuan Ye.

A hidden compartment opened, revealing a dim Middle-grade Spirit Stone.

"Spirit Stone...!!!"

In the cold mist, Tuoba Wufeng obviously noticed something and exclaimed.

Compared to Spirit Sand, Spirit Stones are more complete, containing Spiritual Qi far surpassing Spirit Sand.

A single Lower-grade Spirit Stone carries at least a hundred times the Spiritual Qi of ordinary Spirit Sand!

Not to mention, the Spirit Stone Zheng Yi produced wasn’t a Lower-grade, it was a Middle-grade Spirit Stone!

Zheng Yi sneered contemptuously, casually sending out the Spirit Stone, its Spiritual Qi depleted by ninety percent.

Again, he patted his storage bag, producing five Middle-grade Spirit Stones in total, all inserted into Puppet Xuan Ye’s back.

Under normal conditions, Puppet Xuan Ye’s core required five Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Previously only one was used.

Facing Tuoba Wufeng wielding a Cold Demon Inner Core, Zheng Yi naturally showed no hesitation.

"Boom... whew!"

Supported by five Middle-grade Spirit Stones, the Blazing Fire Banner in Puppet Xuan Ye’s hand was brilliantly dazzling.

It almost formed a sea of fire, firmly suppressing the Cold Demon in Tuoba Wufeng’s grasp.

"No, impossible... Spirit Stone, and it’s a Middle-grade Spirit Stone... how is it possible!"

Yet Tuoba Wufeng, suppressed by Puppet Xuan Ye, was merely fixated on Zheng Yi, muttering something under his breath.

Just then, Zheng Yi suddenly turned sharply, gazing in the direction of Celestial Longevity Mountain.

Not only him, but even Tianxingzi, Xuan Jizi, Cui Xiabing and Yue Chan in the distance, and even the suppressed Tuoba Wufeng seemed to sense something, instinctively turning their heads.

From the direction of Celestial Longevity Mountain, a vast mushroom cloud was slowly forming, creating a huge inverted funnel-shaped cloud, rotating continuously.

Upon closer inspection, dots of lightning flickered within that cloud.

That is...

"Foundation Establishment!"

Zheng Yi’s tone turned peculiar, "A cultivator is actually using my mountain gate... to break through to Foundation Establishment!!!"
