"Are you wondering if there’s an outsider coming to help me? Like those Four Holy Guard who suddenly became King Level?"

Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird exchanged glances, their eyes revealing confusion; they truly hadn’t spotted anyone else around.

The sudden power surge of those Four Holy Guard was indeed baffling, but regardless, such rapid increase in power would make controlling their body’s energy unstable. They each looked like erupting volcanoes, making sneaking around impossible.

So... it really is just this vile person alone?

What’s she implying? What does she intend to do?

White Tiger doesn’t let them ponder for long and swiftly draws the treasured sword at her waist.

"Years ago, you all let me assume the position of White Tiger Star Lord. Back then, I thought you recognized my abilities and would finally cease to criticize my origins. Since then, when war came, you always put me at the forefront, which I understood because White Tiger is known for warfare, and military affairs are my duty. But repeatedly, it’s me fighting the battles, and when it’s time to distribute credit, as now, you let the other Star Lords take the fruits, without a second thought.

Do you truly believe I’ll never turn the tables in this lifetime? "

"Are you saying you can turn the tables now?

" Vermilion Bird in a red robe stepped forward with a mocking smile: "Still aware that you’re of lowly origins. How much fortune have you accumulated to enter the Heavenly Palace? Over these years, think carefully, what’s become of those Great Demons of your level out in Outer Space? Truly an ungrateful bastard."

"What fate..." White Tiger sneered: "If it weren’t for me leading the charge, would you dare hunt in Outer Space? With your two cowardly brat-like personalities?"

Vermilion Bird’s expression darkened: "Intransigent fool, apparently there’s no need to keep you, like Your Majesty predicted."

"He predicted correctly?" White Tiger laughed heartily: "Predicting that things would look like this?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Ziwei spoke this time.

Though she didn’t think White Tiger could pose any threat, unease lingered in her heart. If negotiation was possible, she’d truly prefer not to fight.

"What I’m saying is, I’ll let that old man in Heaven realize how ridiculous his actions have been all these years, blindly favoring his own, and raising nothing but useless trash."

"It seems Chen Qing has certainly given you some backing!" Azure Dragon remarked quietly.

"No need to probe!" White Tiger pointed her sword: "To deal with you all, I don’t need any backing. Do you think two against one guarantees victory? Then try it."

This woman...

Suspicion filled the eyes of the two; White Tiger was definitely in bad shape. In such conditions, does she truly dare challenge both?

"Vermilion Bird, this is your battlefield; you take on the fight. Azure Dragon, pay attention as protector. Heavenly Court’s Great Formation should not encounter anomalies!" Ziwei strictly reminded.

"Oh, that’s your plan..." Vermilion Bird sneered, stepping forward. With spiritual power erupting from her, a crimson flame enveloped her.

The terrifying heat was overwhelming, even melting the surrounding air.

"Do you think facing only me guarantees success? Today I’ll show you that the prowess you’ve been proud of is merely an illusion in the hearts of you wretched people."

Vermilion Bird lightly pointed her hand, forming a blazing spear with powerful fire. Flames erupted powerfully, working with the surrounding active Fire Element, the momentum was overwhelming, contrasting sharply with White Tiger drawing her sword nonchalantly.

Yet, in the face of such might, White Tiger’s expression remained unchanged, still carrying a cold smile.

"A barking dog doesn’t bite; it’s not about who makes the noise being the strongest..." As White Tiger’s voice fell, she already appeared before Vermilion Bird, her speed was incredible, making the previously confident Vermilion Bird’s face stiffen.

This distance was beyond the range of a spear, leaving him to barely shield with the spear handle.

In such haste, the previously earth-shattering momentum halted sharply, whereas the seemingly momentumless White Tiger suddenly exploded with power.

As a Principal Battle Star, the accumulated momentum over the years was extraordinary.

When it erupted, it wasn’t as grand as Vermilion Bird’s, but the killing intent was so terrifying that Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird’s expressions changed.

That pure killing intent, coupled with precise swordsmanship and timing, clearly indicated a highly practical approach.

Even Vermilion Bird himself comprehended the opponent’s confidence at that moment, realizing if any slight care was missed, he could truly get killed!

This anxiety soon materialized; White Tiger’s weapon harnessed powerful wind force, compressing it into a dazzling cyan glow, twisting the surrounding space.

As the sword swung down, Vermilion Bird’s flaming spear power was sucked in too!

"Damn!!"

Vermilion Bird cried in alarm suddenly.

"Only now do you react?" White Tiger sneered: "Well, it’s normal if you don’t.

Over the years, how often have you fought a master of equal level?

Used your own strength? Always sparring with sycophantic subordinates, right?

Without understanding the elemental interplay, you dare engage in battle.

All these years of living lavishly, have indeed dulled your mind! "

"You...."

Vermilion Bird was utterly furious but helpless.

People say wind fuels fire; instinctively thinking fire counters wind, but didn’t consider wind can aid fire and alter it, with the wind’s manipulator holding absolute control.

Ziwei saw and her face turned pale.

This was a matter of combat experience; White Tiger initially didn’t show wind power to avoid boosting the fire right away, otherwise it would become increasingly challenging.

Then she chose the opponent’s most confident moment to strike, at close quarters employing wind power, even if it boosted the fire, wouldn’t matter since the winner was decided!

"Stop!!"

Azure Dragon seeing this, dared not stand by, and urgently intervened forcefully.

He certainly couldn’t watch Vermilion Bird die by the opponent’s hand.

He hadn’t anticipated, with Vermilion Bird’s power and state being above White Tiger’s, that he’d fall to defeat so swiftly—he never underestimated her, but hadn’t realized the gap was so vast!

Mighty Heavenly Thunder crashed down, clearly intending to repel White Tiger directly.

Yet White Tiger remained unconcerned about the thunder overhead; her long sword wielding compressed terrifying wind power, its suction deforming Vermilion Bird’s spear before cyan light flashed, causing Vermilion Bird’s head to be severed before he could retreat in time!

"Beast!!" Azure Dragon’s eyes bulged with rage, but clearly couldn’t prevent it, as thunder crashed down, stopping three feet above White Tiger!
