1213 Asking for Mercy

After consuming Dragon Goddess Yeyou's memories, images immediately began flashing inside Yuan's head.

These images were clearly the Dragon Goddess' memories, but Yuan did not have the time to indulge himself in her memories at this moment.

"W-What did you do just now?!" Patriarch Liang roared in a terrified and confused tone, his expression looking as though he just witnessed a ghost.

Yuan looked at him with a nonchalant gaze and asked, "Where did you acquire that scale? If you tell me, I will tell you what I did."

Patriarch Liang gritted his teeth. As much as he didn't want to answer Yuan, he wanted to know what had happened, so he reluctantly answered, "It was passed down by my ancestors… and I was told that they had it before coming to this world… That's all I really know about it."

This made Yuan wonder if the Azure Dragon Family has any relations with the Dragon Goddess, or if they simply found the scale by chance.

Regardless, he does not have any intentions to spare Patriarch Liang or the Azure Dragon Family for threatening the Xi Family.

"I see." Yuan calmly mumbled before readying the Empyrean Overlord.

When Patriarch Liang saw this, his body immediately tensed.

"W-Wait! You said that you'd tell me what you did to the Dragon God if I told you how I acquired it!"

"I consumed it." Yuan casually responded before flying towards Patriarch Liang with killing intent in his eyes.

Patriarch Liang could feel all of his scales rising. Although there were no changes to Yuan's aura after he consumed the Dragon Goddess' memories, there was a slight difference in his atmosphere.

He felt colder and more vicious to Patriarch Liang, who was in full panic mode now that his trump card did nothing to stop Yuan.

"W-Wait! Let's talk about this!!!" Patriarch Liang pleaded as Yuan reached him.

However, Yuan ignored his pleas and tossed Patriarch Liang's body around like a sandbag.

After several moments of humiliation, Yuan stopped messing around and sliced off one of Patriarch Liang's arms.

"Aaaaahh!" Patriarch Liang released a loud and painful roar that traveled miles.

"My Lord!!!" General Zheng halted his fight with Xi Meili after hearing the scream.

"You are in no position to look away!" Xi Meili became more aggressive after seeing Yuan dominate Patriarch Liang, her motivation soaring toward the sky even though she was losing slightly just moments ago.

"Get off me! I have no time to play with you anymore!!!" Genera Zheng roared as he unleashed all of his spiritual energy at Xi Meili, as he no longer cared if he killed her or not.

Xi Meili tried her best to resist the spiritual energy, but she could only block 90 percent before she was sent flying by the rest of the spiritual energy.

Meanwhile, General Zheng flew toward Yuan and Patriarch Liang's direction.

"Where do you think you are going?!" Xi Meili quickly stabilized herself before chasing after General Zheng, who was slightly faster than her.

Some distance away, Yuan tossed Patriarch Liang around a few more times before severing his second arm.

Patriarch Liang knew that he had no chance of defeating Yuan at this point and gave up entirely.

After getting his second arm severed, Patriarch Liang kneeled on the ground with an oddly tranquil look on his face.

"What are you doing? You know I won't forgive you even if you kowtow for forgiveness." Yuan asked as he stood before Patriarch Liang.

"I am not asking for forgiveness. I am asking for mercy." Patriarch Liang calmly responded.

"I will stop struggling and give you my life. However, before you kill me, I want you to know that the majority of my children are not aware of my ambitions, and they are completely innocent. If you still insist on slaughtering my family after this, just know that you are killing people whose only crime is being part of my family."

Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this, and he calmly responded, "I have no intentions of going after your family. I will leave their fate in the Xi Family's hands, and I'm sure the Xi Family will thoroughly investigate everything, too."

Patriarch Liang released a sigh of relief after hearing Yuan's response, and he calmly closed his eyes, silently awaiting his death.

"Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on him!" General Zheng's voice resounded as he finally reached their location.

However, almost as though he couldn't hear General Zheng, Yuan swung his sword without hesitation, decapitating Patriarch Liang in a swift motion.

"My Lord!!!" General Zheng roared, and as he arrived before Yuan with bloodshot eyes, he unleashed every ounce of spiritual energy inside his body at Yuan.

Yuan didn't say anything and merely glanced at General Zheng before casually throwing a single fist at him.

Yuan's seemingly indestructible fist tore through General Zheng's spiritual energy like it was nothing before smashing him straight in the face.

Pop!

General Zheng's head exploded like a balloon, and his headless body collapsed right beside Patriarch Liang's body.

Xi Meili came to a slow halt as she stared at Yuan with wide eyes.

She knew that Yuan was unfathomably powerful, but she didn't think that he was so powerful that he could kill two Spirit Sovereigns in the blink of an eye.

After snapping out of her daze, she nervously approached him.

"A-Are you okay, Yuan?" she asked him in a low voice.

The cold expression on Yuan's face immediately softened, and he turned to look at her with a warm smile.

"I'm fine. What about you? Are you hurt?"

"Just some scratches. I'll be fine." Xi Meili said with a stiff smile. Although her body looked perfectly fine on the outside, she had some internal injuries such as broken bones, but it wasn't anything life-threatening, and such injuries will easily heal for a Divine Beast like her.

Yuan knew this, and when Xi Meili saw his look, she quickly said, "Don't worry, I am really fine. Anyways, we are not finished yet, since the Azure Dragon Family's army is still marching towards our city, not to mention the Emerald Dragon Family."

Yuan nodded, "Alright, let's deal with the rest of the Azure Dragon Family first."

However, right as they began moving, Yuan suddenly sensed two familiar presences flying in their direction at high speed.

"What's the matter?" Xi Meili asked him.

But she didn't need an answer since she also sensed these presences a moment later.

Sure enough, Xi Shengmo and Xi Mingze appeared before them shortly after.
