1208 Clashing With the Azure Dragon Family(3)

"Impossible! There's no way he's still alive!" The Spirit Emperors became pale-faced when they realized that Yuan was still alive.

After all, not even a Spirit Emperor such as Patriarch Liang would be able to get away unscathed from such a powerful combined attack.

"He… He must have used a powerful spiritual treasure!"

"That must be it! And I doubt such a powerful spiritual treasure can be used again!"

After convincing themselves that Yuan had only survived because of a spiritual treasure, they prepared to attack him again.

However, Yuan did not plan on standing still this time, as he had a feeling that these Spirit Emperors would do something reckless again.

As the Spirit Emperors spread out, Yuan used his movement technique to instantly close his distance from them.

When Yuan suddenly appeared in front of one of them like a ghost, the targeted Spirit Emperor felt his heart jump so hard that it nearly leaped out of his chest.

"W-Wai—"

A vicious glint flickered within Yuan's eyes, and before the Spirit Emperor could finish a single word, Yuan slapped him so hard his head twisted off his body before flying out of the courtyard.

As the Spirit Emperor's headless body fell to the ground, Yuan moved to the next target.

"You bastard!" The man swung his sword at Yuan.

However, to his surprise, Yuan did not bother to block his attack. Thus, his attack landed on Yuan's body without any issues. However, despite using all of his strength, the man immediately realized that his sword could not penetrate Yuan's skin, let alone cut him.

"Did you forget to sharpen your sword?" Yuan cracked a joke with the man before chopping off his head with a swift arm swing.

The other Spirit Emperors were terrified by what they were witnessing. How can a single Spirit King kill three Spirit Emperors with seemingly zero effort? That did not make sense unless Yuan was hiding his cultivation base, but the Spirit Sovereigns would've noticed if that were the case.

Furthermore, nobody there recognized Yuan, and they had never seen him until today.

"Do not panic! No matter what kind of trick he has up his sleeves, he won't be able to use them forever! Let's cover each other and deal with him together!" The strongest Spirit Emperor there shouted at the others.

Hearing such words, the Spirit Emperors quickly snapped out of their daze and came together, forming a defensive formation.

If people learned that sixteen Spirit Emperors had formed a defensive formation against a single Spirit King, the entire world would laugh at them, but these Spirit Emperors could care less about their pride at this moment, when their lives were hanging by the edge.

Meanwhile, Patriarch Liang and the other two Spirit Sovereigns had deep frowns on their faces as they wondered what kind of monster they were facing. They were certain that Yuan wasn't hiding his cultivation base, yet the things he was doing said otherwise.

'Fuck! Where the hell did this bastard come from?! We have spied on the Xi Family and gathered every little information that we could possibly on them for hundreds of thousands of years! There's no way that he's managed to remain hidden for that long!' Patriarch Liang gritted his teeth in frustration.

The Azure Dragon Family has been gathering information for many generations, yet they have never heard of someone like Yuan. Unless he remained in hiding without showing even the slightest of presence for that long, there was simply no possible way that someone as profound as him could evade their eyes.

For a brief moment, Patriarch Liang wondered if their world was no longer secluded and that Yuan came from the outside world, but that seemed even less likely.

'No… Wait… There were rumors of a human appearing in the Ancient Dragon City about a year ago… No… That's not possible…'

Although Xi Shengmo tried his best to keep Yuan's existence a secret, it was simply impossible to do so perfectly, especially after the spectacle that happened during the Dragon Awakening Ritual.

Not to mention Yuan showing up at the Dragon Ancestral Temple and beating up multiple renowned warriors. It was inevitable that Yuan's existence would not remain a secret.

However, because the rumors were so ridiculous, Patriarch Liang immediately treated such information as nonsense and no longer bothered with it.

Once the Spirit Emperors were in formation, Yuan turned to look at the Patriarch Sovereign and spoke in a calm voice, "Hey, are you really okay with all of your soldiers dying to me? If you don't want them to die a pointless death, you should face me yourself— alongside the other two Spirit Sovereigns."

Hearing such words, Patriarch Liang sneered in disdain, "Don't be so full of yourself just because you managed to kill a few of my soldiers using some hidden spiritual treasure. If you can still talk so arrogantly after using up all of your tricks, I will be your opponent. Until then, you can have fun with my soldiers."

In the end, Patriarch Liang still believed that Yuan was using some kind of trick to defeat the three Spirit Emperors.

Yuan sighed as he turned to look at the Spirit Emperors, "You heard him. It's unfortunate, but you have been abandoned."

The Spirit Emperors gritted their teeth in anger, but not because Patriarch Liang 'abandoned' them.

"Let's show this fucker that he can only go so far using tricks! Grand Dragon Formation— Advance!"

The sixteen Spirit Emperors began advancing towards Yuan while remaining grouped together, leaving zero openings in their formation.

Seeing this, Yuan retrieved his Empyrean Overlord and took a deep breath.

When the Spirit Emperors saw Yuan holding the sword, they could immediately feel an overwhelming sense of dread, almost as if they could already sense that their death was near.

"Don't stop! He won't be able to harm us as long as we stay in formation!" The leader of the group shouted.

Their aura intensified, causing the air around them to tremble.

However, Yuan ignored all that and casually swung his sword at them.

A chilling sword light flashed before the group's eyes, and before they realized, their entire formation had been destroyed in the blink of an eye with everyone inside the formation severed in half.

"Im... pos...si..." A dying mumble filled with disbelief resounded before dead silence filled the area.
