Chapter 1218: Jiang Qing'e's Challenge

The field erupted into a furor despite Li Foluo's strict management of the guardians. It was unbelievable that Jiang Qing'e would directly choose to contest for the position of Dragon Fang Envoy. Seeing someone challenge the two envoys despite just entering the Dragon's Fang Guardians was rare.

It was important to note that Left Dragon Fang Envoy Luo Jiang was an upper third-grade Duke and Right Dragon Fang Envoy Li Changfeng was a lower third-grade Duke.

Both had undergone countless bloody battles in the World End's River Region and had bountiful combat experience. Their techniques and cultivation foundation were not weak either. They had defeated numerous rogue cultivators of their own level and were high-ranking figures even when taking Heavenly Dragon Peak as a whole. Meanwhile, Jiang Qing'e was just a youthful newcomer. Just what did she have to dare to challenge them?

Although everyone was impressed by her looks, she would have to demonstrate her strength and take one of their seats through force. Whilst the crowd was still in an uproar, Jiang Qing'e did not say anything. Sacred light flowed around her and then boundless amounts of light resonant power burst out of her.

A single towering Duke Bergfried quietly materialized within the radiant light.

The surface of the Duke Bergfried was like glazed glass, almost like an exquisite work of art. The ten golden pillars around it gave off an abstruse sort of charm as it devoured worldly natural energy.

The entire field turned silent and shocked expressions surfaced on everyone's faces. They could only stare blankly at her Duke Bergfried.

"This is..." Some were so taken aback that they could barely speak.

"Ten golden pillars?!"

"This is the legendary Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried!"

"My God, I’m actually seeing a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried in person?"

"She has such demonic talent! Which sacred god is this young lady the reincarnation of? How did she end up coming to the Dragon's Fang Guardians?"

The appearance of a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried triggered another round of commotion from the audience. Those who had entered the Dragon's Fang Guardians could be considered the elites of the Dragon's Fang Lineage and had access to much more information than normal people. Thus, they understood what this represented.

Even within the Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies, it had been several generations since such a genius had appeared.

Although a single Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried was merely the starting point of the Path of Ascension, it also represented that her body contained exceptional amounts of talent and potential. Thus, everyone understood why this youthful lady before them had the confidence to directly fight for the role of Dragon Fang Envoy.

"Do your best, Sister Qing'e!" Li Luo cheered.

Jiang Qing'e slightly nodded as she rose into the air.

When both parties were in position, Li Foluo waved his sleeve, and light began to rise from all corners of the field, eventually forming a gigantic shield made of light that covered the area.

This was a measure to protect the area around them; it also isolated them from prying eyes. After all, there were many people in Heavenly Dragon City that weren’t members of the Five Guardian Armies, including numerous rogue cultivators.

Li Changfeng glanced at Jiang Qing'e's beautiful face as he said in a deep and calm voice, "Miss Jiang, you have unlimited potential, so having you in the Dragon's Fang Guardians is our fortune. Logically speaking, it would be fine for me to give up my position of Dragon Fang Envoy, but it looks like you do not wish for this concession."

He understood her intention very well. She had to demonstrate her power, and no matter how rare someone like her was, strength was still king. Thus, Li Changfeng knew that he had been designated as a stepping stone for her.

That said, he was not angry. As a veteran of the Dragon's Fang Guardians, he always looked at the bigger picture. He understood the benefits that she would bring them in the future. She was merely a first-grade Duke today, but who could guess how far she would go? What if her second Duke Bergfried was also a Ten-Pillar one? Even Li Foluo would be hard-pressed to hold an advantage over her then. Her potential was terrifying.

Thus, for the sake of strengthening the Dragon's Fang Guardians, Li Changfeng was willing to be a stepping stone for her.

However, this did not mean that he would go easy on her.

He believed that she wouldn't need him to do so in order to eke out a victory. Just standing before her, he could feel the pride hidden behind her indifferent expression.

No one was qualified to go easy on someone on the Path of Ascension.

Thus, Li Changfeng's expression turned solemn and he swung his golden staff. The air shook and dark-yellow resonant power blasted into the air.

As the majestic amounts of resonant power buffeted the skies, three towering yellow Duke Bergfrieds began to ravenously devour worldly natural energy.

Behind him, yellow sand raged across the sky, and a gigantic figure took shape inside it. It partially resembled a dragon and partially a rhinoceros. Frightening fluctuations of energy could be felt coming from it.
