Chapter 350: Challenge and Domination!
Atop Heavenly Snake Peak, the expressions of many Dou Zun powerhouses fluctuated, marked not only by fear but also disbelief. They knew of Xiao Ze's strength as a Dou Zun, but had not anticipated his rapid advance to the level of a Seven Star Dou Zun.
Though Xiao Ze spoke politely, the unrestrained aura emanating from him made it clear his intentions might be less than peaceful. "So it's the Sky Alliance Leader," Lv Xin sighed in relief upon seeing Xiao Ze, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders. His words indirectly highlighted the earlier deliberate difficulties imposed by Lion Sect Master.
"Haha, I've long heard of the Heavenly Snake Mansion's fame, and meeting its current leader indeed proves extraordinary," Xiao Ze laughed heartily, greeting Lv Xin. The surrounding powerhouses rolled their eyes internally. Wasn't it obvious that Lv Xin and this Sky Alliance leader were acquainted? The previous delay likely was to await Xiao Ze's arrival.
At this time, Lion Sect Master's complexion soured. He had received intelligence about the decline of Heavenly Snake Mansion but hadn't expected them to have linked up with the rapidly rising force in the Northwest Continent—the Sky Alliance. Nor did he anticipate the formidable strength of the Sky Alliance's leader, whose recently unleashed aura clearly indicated a fresh breakthrough to Seven Star Dou Zun. Even among the many Dou Zuns present, he stood out with the highest realm of fighting spirit.
"What brings the Sky Alliance leader to the Sect Conference?" Lion Sect Master cut off any opportunity for Xiao Ze to mingle with other Dou Zuns. "What? Is the Sky Alliance not considered a power of the Northwest Continent? Can everyone participate in the Sect Conference but us?"
Faced with Lion Sect Master's challenge, Xiao Ze didn't mince words in response. "You!" Lion Sect Master faltered, finding no retort to Xiao Ze's comeback.
Suddenly, Lion Sect Master recalled information about Xiao Ze, who seemed to have risen abruptly in the Northwest, presumably from Central Province. "Hmph, while the Sky Alliance can be considered a force of the Northwest Continent, as far as I know, the Alliance leader seems to come from Central Province."
"The saying goes, 'A mighty dragon cannot suppress the local snake.' If you insist on meddling in the affairs of the Northwest, don't blame us for banding together against you." Lion Sect Master stated, looking to the other Dou Zuns for support. However, none showed interest in meeting his gaze. The situation was too volatile for them to foolishly take sides prematurely.
"Pfft, the head of the Lion Ming Sect turns out to be this foolish, which I didn't expect," Xiao Ze sneered coldly. "In the Dou Qi Continent, strength is respected, and the mighty dragon not suppressing the local snake has never held water. A dragon is a dragon, a snake is a snake!"
Faced with Xiao Ze's biting sarcasm, Lion Sect Master's face turned iron blue, but Xiao Ze didn't give him a chance to retort, continuing, "What's more laughable is your half-baked intelligence. How dare you confidently claim I come from Central Province?"
"If you had investigated further, you would know I am from the Gamma Empire. I merely went to Central Province to train and have only recently returned to the Northwest." Other powers were also taken aback by the revelation that Xiao Ze was a native of the Northwest Continent, not a powerhouse from Central Province. This stirred interest in the Gamma Empire, the origin of such a formidable figure as Xiao Ze.
"Ahem, since we've cleared the air, both the Sky Alliance and its leader undoubtedly belong to the Northwest Continent and are eligible to participate in the Sect Conference," Lv Xin interjected skillfully, easing the tense atmosphere and affirming the Sky Alliance's right to participate as decided by the host of the conference.
The other Dou Zuns, influenced by Xiao Ze's dynamic entry, raised no objections. And Lion Sect Master, still seething from Xiao Ze's taunts, was visibly shaken. "I disagree!" he blurted out, only for Xiao Ze to immediately respond: "Your disagreement is irrelevant. The rules are clear, and I am qualified to participate in the Sect Conference!"
Lion Sect Master's face was a shade of deep blue, but Xiao Ze paid him no heed, standing aloof in the void, casually addressing the surrounding powerhouses with a slight smile. "Since I am eligible to participate in the Sect Conference, let's dispense with further words. The Sky Alliance intends to claim dominance over the Northwest. Should any power have objections, feel free to voice them."
Faced with Xiao Ze's straightforward challenge, the many strong attendees were momentarily dumbstruck. Sensing the aura around him, any retort they might have had was stifled in their throats.
Just then, a burly figure burst forward, a delicate voice sounding simultaneously, "Although I acknowledge your strength, Alliance Leader Xiao, my Thunder Sect also deeply desires the title of Northwest Overlord. To willingly step aside, at the very least, a battle is required!"
The voice was soft yet firm. Xiao Ze's eyes landed on the newcomer, his hands clasped behind his back, a light smile playing on his lips as he simply said, "Please."
Lei Qiao, seeing Xiao Ze's nonchalant attitude, wasn't upset. She wouldn't have given much thought to someone weaker than herself either. "Ha!" With a shout, Lei Qiao's muscles bulged, veins pulsing like dragons under her skin, her body emanating streaks of lightning as thunderous sounds filled Heavenly Snake Sacred Peak.
Xiao Ze faced Lei Qiao's attack with a flicker of appreciation in his eyes. Although she was only a Five Star Dou Zun, her mastery of thunderous techniques was indeed noteworthy. Transformed into a massive bolt of silver lightning, Lei Qiao instantly closed the gap, launching a punch at Xiao Ze.
The many Dou Zuns present focused intently, eager to witness the outcome. Silver lightning engulfed both Lei Qiao and Xiao Ze, obscuring their figures and accompanied by a wild surge of energy that even blocked soul perceptions.
However, the moment after contact, Lei Qiao's figure was hurled back at an even faster speed towards Heavenly Snake Sacred Peak. Following a violent upheaval, a gigantic hole appeared in the peak, through which Lei Qiao could be seen miserably sprawled within a deep crater.
A single word surfaced in the minds of the watching Dou Zuns: Overwhelming!
