BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 547: Swift and Decisive!

Lie Shan had originally been joining Xuan Mo and Zhu Mu from West Dragon Island in besieging Zhu Mo, the Second Elder of Eastern Dragon Island.

But after seeing that Man Yan had gone into the ancient hall and hadn’t brought anyone out for a long time, his suspicion grew.

He left the battlefield and personally made his way here.

“This is the Ancient Dragon Clan’s internal matter. I advise you not to interfere,” Lie Shan said coldly to Gu He.

“So much nonsense.”

Gu He snorted and, the next instant, unleashed Void Lightning Flash.

He transformed into a thick bolt of silver lightning and vanished from sight in an instant.

Lie Shan sensed an extremely terrifying spatial force from that silver lightning.

But the moment the bolt disappeared, that overwhelming spatial pressure also vanished without a trace.

In that split second, Lie Shan’s earlier contempt for Gu He’s supposed One-Star Dou Saint level vanished completely.

He focused his mind and raised his guard, both arms now transformed into dragon claws covered in glimmering scales.

He concentrated fully on sensing Gu He’s location.

Then—

Without a sound, a fist silently appeared above Lie Shan’s head.

In the next moment, it came crashing down with a terrifying force.

Sensing the fluctuation, Lie Shan reflexively swung his dragon claw to clash with the descending fist.

“Boom!”

As Gu He’s fist collided with Lie Shan’s claw, a thunderous metallic crash echoed through the hall.

Amidst that sound came the sharp snap of bones breaking.

Lie Shan’s body was even forced slightly downward by the impact.

“This can’t be happening…”

Lie Shan’s eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the scales falling from his claw.

His dragon-scaled arms were so tough that even a typical Three-Star Dou Saint couldn’t damage them, let alone break his bones.

Yet Gu He, supposedly only a One-Star Dou Saint, had managed to do it—barehanded.

That meant his raw strength and durability surpassed even those of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, known for their physical might.

Lie Shan simply could not accept it.

“You’re not human!” he roared, now convinced Gu He must be some monstrous beast clan’s powerhouse.

But Gu He ignored the insult.

His assault didn’t stop.

With a thought, he summoned his natal divine flame—already fused with his soul.

The temperature in the hall soared the moment the flame appeared.

“Heavenly Flame!”

Seeing the swirling purple fire circling Gu He, Lie Shan was stunned once again.

The next second, the purple flame surged outward, forming a fire net that swiftly enveloped Lie Shan.

“What kind of flame is this?!”

Feeling the searing heat, Lie Shan shouted in alarm.

“To burn your corpse.”

Gu He sneered as he watched Lie Shan thrashing inside the fire net.

Without hesitation, he began forming hand seals, urging the divine flame’s power.

The temperature inside the fire net spiked violently and the net began to shrink rapidly.

“You just wait— even if I lose to you, you’ll still die today!” Lie Shan howled, his voice twisted in fury and desperation.

As the purple fire net continued shrinking inward, Lie Shan didn’t just sit and wait for death.

He transformed into a half-human, half-dragon form and gathered a massive shield of Dou Qi around his body, attempting to forcefully break through the encirclement.

“Zzz—!”

The moment Lie Shan's body made contact with the purple fire net, the Dou Qi shield was instantly sliced apart.

Then, the purple flames clinging to the net made direct contact with his flesh.

“Ahhh!”

As soon as the flames touched his body, they surged across him uncontrollably, spreading in an instant.

Inside the massive ancient hall, a piercing dragon’s roar of agony echoed.

…

Above Eastern Dragon Island, the elder in green robes from West Dragon Island unleashed a powerful Dou Qi attack.

Then he sneered at Elder Zhu Mo, “Old man Zhu Mo, things have reached this point, and you’re still resisting?”

“You know that continuing this fight will only drain Eastern Dragon Island’s strength completely.”

Zhu Mo blocked the strike with a swipe of his dragon claw and replied calmly, “For traitors who forget the clan’s rules, even if Eastern Dragon Island is reduced to its last warrior, we will never let you off.”

“Hah. Once the three Dragon Kings finish off that old man Qingshan, let’s see if you can still act tough,” the West Dragon Island elder, Zhu Mu, said with a cold chuckle.

“By now, Lie Shan should’ve dealt with the royal-blooded girl you were hiding, don’t you think?”

“Zhu Mu—if you stop me again, I swear I’ll kill you today!”

Zhu Mo’s face turned pale at those words. He clenched his teeth, his killing intent surging.

“Haha! Zhu Mo, if you surrender now, West Dragon Island can let bygones be bygones.”

“Hell, I’d even let you take over my position as commander!” said the black-faced brute, Xuan Mo, commander of West Dragon Island’s forces, with a wicked grin.

Though their cultivation wasn't as strong as Zhu Mo’s, the two together were more than capable of dealing with him, especially after he had exhausted so much strength already.

“Never!”

Zhu Mo didn’t hesitate to reject the offer.

As soon as the word left his mouth, he launched another wave of fierce Dou Qi toward Xuan Mo and quickly tried to break past them.

Zhu Mu, of course, wasn’t going to let him escape.

He rushed forward to support Xuan Mo and block Zhu Mo’s advance.

Just then, from deep within Dragon Island, an ear-splitting dragon’s roar suddenly echoed across the land.

Hearing the sound, many powerful cultivators hovering above the island turned their heads.

In their sights, a massive hole had burst open in the roof of the ancient hall.

From it, a figure wrapped in purple flames emerged, struggling violently as he rose into the sky.

“It’s Lie Shan?! How is this possible?!”

Seeing the painfully burning figure in the air, Zhu Mu and Xuan Mo’s eyes widened in utter disbelief.

But what happened next was even more shocking.

Just as Lie Shan managed to escape the ancient hall and flew a short distance—

A flash of silver light streaked past his body.

Then, a bloodstained hand pierced cleanly through Lie Shan’s chest.
