"My affairs don't need your interference, Long Hao!" a cold voice replied from inside. Seeing this scene, Bexia knew that her previous thoughts were wrong. This guy was not a pursuer of Long Momo at all.

"If you can't retrieve the Black Dragon Jade, I'd like to see how you explain it to the Elder Council!" Long Hao laughed ominously.

"Then you don't have to worry about it!"

"But you are my designated woman, and I am doing this for your own good!" Long Hao didn't hide his desire and shamelessly examined Long Momo.

"I already have a man, so give up on me!" Long Momo responded decisively, catching the attention of Bexia who stood beside her.

"I have heard about what happened at the banquet. But do you really think I'm so easily deceived? And what I set my eyes on, I will surely obtain!" Long Hao looked at Bexia with an evaluating gaze. Even though he despised Bexia's strength and had the thought of eliminating him, he had to consider that Bor, the king, stood behind Bexia. Otherwise, Bexia would already be a corpse.

"Where do you get this confidence? What if I win the Dragon God Ceremony?" Long Momo stared at Long Hao coldly.

"Hahaha! Long Momo, your joke is not funny. I have already unlocked the second seal of the "Dragon Breaking Sword." Even if you get your hands on the Black Dragon Jade, you won't be able to match me!" Long Hao laughed arrogantly.

"How is that possible?!" Long Momo's pupils contracted at Long Hao's words, her face filled with shock.

"What is the "Dragon Breaking Sword"?" Bexia asked in a low voice.

"It is said that the "Dragon Breaking Sword" is a divine weapon forged from the dragon claws that the Dragon God shed during its infancy. It was the weapon of the first generation of High Priests and is the most powerful among the several divine artifacts of the Dragon God Religion!" Issa explained with an incredulous expression.

It should be noted that divine artifacts are not something that can be controlled by ordinary strength. It requires powerful strength. In order to let the younger generation familiarize themselves with the divine artifacts from an early age, some forces choose to seal the power of the divine artifacts and let the younger generation unlock them themselves. The extent to which the younger generation can unlock the power is the level of strength they can master.

Even though Long Momo, who currently possessed the White Dragon Jade, had already unlocked the second seal of the White Dragon Jade, the White Dragon Jade was only an auxiliary divine artifact. It was still not enough to deal with the Dragon God Religion's strongest offensive divine artifact.

And as Long Hao said, even if Long Momo retrieves the Black Dragon Jade now, the Dragon God Ceremony is about to begin. Whether she can control the Black Dragon Jade in a short period of time is a question. It is even more impossible for her to use the Black Dragon Jade against the "Dragon Breaking Sword."

"These priestesses are in danger!"

"Sis Dragon..." Bexia, after hearing Issa's words, understood the situation roughly. She reached out and grabbed Long Momo's hand, saying softly, "I will help you. If it doesn't work, I will go find my teacher, Bor. If it still doesn't work, I can take you and escape with you, Sis Dragon!"

"Koko!" Long Momo laughed at Bexia's words. She showed a bitter smile. Escape?! She has thought about it, but what good would it do? Can she really escape from the hands of the Dragon God Religion? If she could really escape, she wouldn't have come back. Honestly, she doesn't care about the Dragon God Religion!

"I'm serious. If it doesn't work, I can take you with me. I believe no one can stop me!" Bexia said confidently.

His confidence comes from something in the spatial dimension. That is the "Eight Extreme Cloud Umbrella" that Lady Cloud gave him. If it were in the past, Bexia might not have known the power of this item. But after studying with Bor for so long and reading many precious magic books, Bexia now knows the power of the "Eight Extreme Cloud Umbrella."

Entering the space and walking through the void, unless it is also a space magic, it is impossible to harm the person using the Eight Extreme Cloud Umbrella. Not to mention the ability to teleport in space. Even the fastest king cannot catch up because the spatial domain is a "realm of gods" that transcends mortals."Well then! If it really comes to that, you can take me with you to escape!" Although Bexia was Bor's disciple, Long Momo also knew that it was impossible for Bor to start a war between the kingdoms of Asman and Anzu just for him. Not only would Bor not help them, but he might even capture Long Momo and send her back to Anzu.

Looking at Long Momo's smile, Bexia felt uneasy. He also knew that if he revealed his spatial ability, no one would believe him. After thinking about it, he decided not to say much. Anyway, if things got out of hand, he would definitely take action. He didn't want to see Long Momo so sad.

In the sky, the battle between the two kingdoms reached a stalemate with the addition of the two champions brought by Dragon Hao. The Black Dragon Jade was still in the hands of the Black Blade, who hadn't fully revealed his strength yet. The two Dragon God disciples in front of him were not true champions, but rather fake champions trained by the Dragon God Sect, known as "Dragon God Guards". Although their strength could match champions, they were not a match for the real deal in a true battle. And let's not forget that the Black Blade was a veteran champion, ranked high among champions!

"Roar!" The Dragon God Guards let out a long roar, a sound unlike human voices. The Black Blade had been fighting against them for a while now and was starting to get impatient. After all, he could sense that there were other champions around, watching him closely, or more specifically, the Black Dragon Jade in his hand. If he showed any weaknesses, someone would surely try to snatch the Black Dragon Jade from him.

"If that's the case, I won't play with you guys anymore!" The Black Blade's gaze sharpened, and his aura suddenly exploded.

"Eagle Eye!"

This was the Black Blade's innate magic, a powerful auxiliary skill that granted him enhanced vision. After becoming a champion, this innate magic had evolved, giving him the ability to see the weaknesses of objects and people. It was one of the reasons why his combat power was so formidable.

"Too slow!" With his Eagle Eye activated, the Black Blade saw the Dragon God Guards moving as slow as snails. A simple slash from him caused a rain of blood to fall from the sky, freezing the Dragon God Guards in mid-air before they heavily landed on the ground.

"Amazing!" Bexia looked at the Black Blade in astonishment. In his eyes, the speed of the Dragon God Guards was so fast that he couldn't even see anything, but in front of the Black Blade, they were easily killed with a single move.

"The Black Blade has two ultimate skills. Have you noticed his eyes? That's his innate magic, [Eagle Eye], granting him exceptional vision and the ability to see weaknesses."

"What's his other ultimate skill?" Bexia asked curiously.

"He also has a skill called [Abyssal Gaze], a special dark magic inherited by the Black Blade family. He once challenged two top-level Extremes and a semi-champion using this skill during Extreme, and he killed them all..."

Bexia gasped after hearing this. The Black Blade was truly formidable. Defeating someone and killing them were two completely different things. When a person's life was in danger, they would unleash their full potential. It was extremely difficult to kill someone under such circumstances. Bexia didn't expect the Black Blade to be so powerful, not only killing, but killing three super-strong opponents in one go.
