Seized by the System

The situation was just like that. The five dragons attacked all at once aggressively with spells coming one after another. However, the five arhats did not move at all. From what the outsiders were looking at, they were completely at ease. Clearly, their defensive work was doing its charm.

The crowd had long evacuated far away to avoid being involved with the disaster.

Fortunately, both sides’ battle skills had reached such a high plane that even though the momentum was large, the powers were all well concentrated on the target itself, not an ounce scattered elsewhere so innocent objects were not affected.

The battle had been going on for a while now, yet none of the surrounding objects were damaged at all.

However, nobody thought that this was just an empty show of strength. It was very clear, that apart from the other two mighty beings, once they became targets of the attack, they would turn into fine dust in an instant.

Dragon God was not missing his attacks because he was lacking strength, but the other party’s defense was just too strong. It was no wonder they had the audacity to scheme for power of this arcane realm the moment they arrived.

Unlike Black Robe, who was only able to secretly do his little tricks.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zijiang and the others were all extremely worried. They could not help but cast a glance at the two great beings who were watching the battle aside, hoping that they could lend a hand.

“Uncle Black Robe, those two fellows obviously came with Lord Azure Dragon. Why aren’t they helping?” Saki took the lead and asked the question that was running through everyone’s mind.

Among the crowd at the scene, only someone in her position could say something as such with no fear.

Black Robe sneered, “It’s not that they don’t want to stop the battle, they’re afraid of losing face. Their limit of strength is the same as the five arhats, but there are five of them on the opposite side.”

When everyone heard his words, they immediately understood.

During their time in the Upper Realm, the two mighty beings were always seated up high in a leading position while the five arhats were only fit for serving tea, sentry duty, cleaning, and other manual labor that was meant for servants.

If they were to battle, no matter what the outcome was, they were still the losers.

If they won, it would be an act of the weak bullied by the strong. Though that would not be too uncomfortable for them, the process of this win was not entirely simple.

However, if they were to lose, they could only retreat to a hole and not see daylight for the next thousand years.

In the future when acquaintances arrive from the Upper Realm, they would be a lifelong laughing stock as well. For example, the monkeys'”protector of the horses” title. ¹ No matter how strong they got later or how high their status was, even a small demon could laugh at them in their faces and they would have no words to refute but throw a huge tantrum.

Therefore, the two mighty beings could only put on a calm look as their minds wandered enigmatically.

After listening to Black Robe’s explanation, the crowd got more worried. Even a being as strong as the Bodhisattva and the River God had to watch from afar, which showed that this was definitely a battle to the death.

After a while, the five arhats finally breathed in relief. Earlier on when they heard from senior Tianjing, they were still worried about the powers of the powerful beings from the Upper Realm. Apart from the information that had been gathered they were concerned that there may still be some hidden earth-shaking powers that were up in their sleeves.

Now looking, they only had a couple of cheap tricks. There was nothing for them to be worried about.

Before they were sent down, naturally, they had already learned about the Lower Realm in detail. Knowing oneself as well as the enemy was something that should be prioritized at all times, at all places.

Tianjing Fawang had been in the Lower Realm for more than two years. It was natural for him to report everything big and small to the Buddhist Realm.

“If Almsgiver really has such skills, we should listen to the words of the monks and leave this place. According to Buddhist beliefs, giving brings bigger rewards,” arhat Tianhao said meekly, appearing to be the bigger person in the situation.

“Hmph, all of you are so thickheaded. This is the first time in my life I’ve seen such hypocritical people. Under the circumstances, I can only kill all of you so you’ll know that the sacred True Dragon is not to be violated!” Standing high in the sky, Vigilante stated sternly.

In the System Space, Fang Ning stared with his eyes wide open. He really wanted to know what the System should do in the face of the five powerhouses of the same level, and what should the System do?

Since this fellow’s cards increased so much, he had already lost track of it as he was too lazy to be constantly checking.

“Vigilante A, stop bragging. If you’re really so remarkable, get through our five arhats first and we’ll see.” arhat Tianlu was the first one to lose his temper.

“Don’t worry, we’ll go one by one,” Vigilante A said calmly.

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his arm and the five dragons followed his commands, returning to his side and hovered around him.

System Notification: [The System consumed 1,000,000,000 experience points. Legendary flying sword, Soaring Dragon, has leveled up to Mythical-grade.

1: Comes with the mythical ability – “teleportation”

2: When equipping the flying sword, increase all Sword Combat Arts powers by 30%

3: Basic attacking points increased by ten times.]

“Damn, I’ll finally be able to see Sir System’s powerful thirty-thousand-charge again…” Fang Ning exclaimed. “Just that, where can you possibly get a hundred billion experience points?”

“It’s alright hmm…” the System said triumphantly, “These are all my outcome from half a month in the River of Blood. Were it not for the fact that the river died itself, I could’ve gotten more. Come to think of it now, most of my experience points are all focused on Daqing. No, that won’t do. I’ll go find her later on…”

“…” Fang Ning remained silent for a while before continuing, “Don’t change the subject. Let’s first get rid of these five gifts.”

“Eh, you’re right,” the System said reluctantly.

Right this moment, the crowd saw something mystical, even breath-taking.

Five of the gigantic dragons of different shapes and forms pounced on Vigilante A, and once the layers of smoke disappeared, Vigilante A had disappeared and replaced by a cold and shining Heavenly Sword!

“This, this… Isn’t this the undefeatable Heavenly Sword belonging to the Venerable One?” Qiao Zijiang was the first one to call out.

Everyone nodded, their eyes attracted by the godly sword.

It hung above the sky with its sharp end towards the ground, its green spark glimmered in a threatening manner. The five stern looking dragons settled in as all the demons kept out of the way.

The thought of the powers of this godly sword immediately flashed through everyone’s mind. Since its existence, those who tried to block its attacks were broken, and all those who were attacked perished; nobody had been able to defend its blow.

“Dear juniors, please just give up…” Seeing the circumstances, Tianjing Fawang could not resist urging.

“Senior brother, isn’t this just the next Cultivation Realm of the ‘unification of human and sword’, what are you so afraid of? You should just remain calm and wait and see,” arhat Tianhao said calmly.

Little did they know that Sir System’s attack power was not based on the so-called realm, but on the basis of the system’s rules.

Fang Ning was unable to estimate how much attack power the System’s accumulated Combat Arts possessed, but it was guaranteed that its growth rate was multiple hundred-time amplifications… Even a hole could be cut through the sky.

“Very good. Under the power of my Heavenly Sword, all of you are still the first to be boasting so shamelessly. Just let me see how hard your turtle shell is!”

Although the five arhats were seemingly unconvinced, they had plenty of fighting experience that had long allowed them to increase their concentration to the maximum. They drummed up their entire body’s energy, the power of the array had long been magnified to the extreme.

It was impossible to hide. In the midst of battle in the Upper Realm, when the mighty beings engage in battle, locking in the soul was the most basic step. Dodging was just a waste of energy unless one had special abilities, otherwise, one should fight face on and grasp the focus of the other side’s attack and concentrate on defense.

The golden spark glistened and the flow was unsteady. If one were to look carefully, one would notice that a spot of light was flickering. Just the size of the palm, it was right to the front of the sword above.

At this moment, the godly sword stopped shining!
