"And who are you?"
Dragon Saint Ye Hong trained his eyes on Zhang Ruochen. His pupils constricted to the size of needles to see Zhang Ruochen’s features clearly. His Spiritual Power hadn’t reached level 50 yet. No matter how sharp his saintly eyes his were, he still couldn’t penetrate the Spiritual Power barrier surrounding Zhang Ruochen.
"I am only a nameless figure. Even if I answer you, you still will not know my name."
He walked into the center of the Divine Dragon Pavilion with heavy and steady steps. All the cultivators in the pavilion curiously studied the young man clad in a white robe. They didn’t know where he got the courage to stand up and speak to the Dragon Saints.
Ao Xinyan’s thin brows furrowed slightly. She felt that this figure was extremely familiar. Unfortunately, his Spiritual Power was too advanced. She couldn’t see his features clearly at all.
Dragon Saint Ye Yun scoffed. "You’re clearly a Spiritual Power Saint, yet you say you’re a nameless figure. You’re definitely hiding your ident.i.ty. It seems that you’re famous in the human world. But no matter how famous you are, you better not get involved in the Ancient Dragon Mountain’s matters. Otherwise, only death awaits you."
He could feel that the young man’s aura wasn’t that strong. He was probably a Spiritual Power Saint who’d just reached level 50.
Plus, with his age, he couldn’t be too strong either.
Zhang Ruochen smiled. "I am only an outsider. I don’t want to get involved. I only want to say something fair."
"Something fair?" Dragon Saint Ye Yun said.
Faced with two Dragon Saints’ might, Zhang Ruochen was still very composed. "This territory is under human rule. You two are definitely too offensive and should restrain yourselves."
"This is under human rule?" Dragon Saint Ye Yun’s eyes turned dangerously cold. "You want us to restrain ourselves?"
He laughed directly, seemingly mocking Zhang Ruochen’s ignorance. Then he wiped his smile away instantly. He spat out icy Qi accompanied by a thunderous voice.
"Who do you think you are to tell a Dragon Saint of the Ancient Dragon Mountain like this?"
Crackle, crackle.
Ice formed over the ground, pillars, and tiles. Sharp icicles poked out.
Ao Yi knew that Zhang Ruochen was the heir of the Yin and Yang Sect. Afraid that something would happen to him, he ordered, "Ao Zhan, hurry and take the guest away."
"You think leaving is that easy?"
Dragon Saint Ye Hong stepped forward. With his foot as the center, a ring of icy power surged forward, sending Ao Zhan flying away.
He was already an upper-level Saint. Even a casual attack was unbearable for a Ninth Level Half-Saint.
Ao Zhan’s armor had a layer of ice on it. He crashed into the metal wall with a crack. Fissures opened up all over Ao Zhan’s armor. Blood flowed out of the cracks.
"How dare you hurt someone?"
Holy Qi flooded out of Ao Xinyan’s body. It went into the saintly sword. She was about to attack Dragon Saint Ye Hong. However, her expression turned shocked. With a boom, Dragon Saint Ye Hong arched back by a palm and flew into the air.
Ao Xinyan quickly steadied herself and dodged to the right.
Dragon Saint Ye Hong brushed past her. He flew out of Divine Dragon Pavilion and crashed onto the ground outside.
What just happened?
The upper level figures of the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan all looked in unison at the young robed man in the center.
He’d really sent a Dragon Saint flying with one palm? Where did he get this courage? Where did he get this power?
The other Dragon Saint, Ye Yun, was taken aback as well.
Zhang Ruochen pulled his hand back. The strands of strong Holy Qi flowed back into the seven apertures of his palm.
"You dare to attack me secretly? You’re looking for death."
Dragon Saint Ye Hong rushed back into the pavilion. Black light scattered from him. He held a black spear and stabbed straight at Zhang Ruochen’s heart.
Roar!
A flood dragon’s shadow appeared on the long black spear, letting out a deafening roar.
The upper level figures of the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan all retreated
Only the stronger Saints remained standing in the pavilion. They stared nervously at Dragon Saint Ye Hong who was charging at Zhang Ruochen. They didn’t attack. After all, that young man could send Dragon Saint Ye Hong flying with one palm. He was definitely stronger and may even be able to fight with Dragon Saint Ye Hong.
Ye Hong’s true form was a winged dragon. He was a pure dragon. Thus, he was very powerful.
Zhang Ruochen stood straight and tall in his spot. Grabbing in the air, he said softly, "Lend me the sword."
Ao Xinyan’s sword broke free from her control. It flew away and appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s hands.
Instead of grasping the hilt, Zhang Ruochen pushed Sword Intent into the saint sword.
Clang!
The saint sword spun rapidly, producing many grating sounds. It crashed against the black spear.
The two forces were both strong. The various Saints of the clan all retreated from the shockwave and had to hide in the defensive formation.
Saintly might in the Divine Dragon Pavilion tossed like boiling water. Only Ao Yi could remain steady, still sitting on his throne.
"What a powerful young man. He can actually counter a Dragon Saint."
It was their first meeting, but Ao Yi had already praised Zhang Ruochen countless times. He’d already thought highly of Zhang Ruochen’s abilities, but now, he realized he’d still underestimated the man.
Ao Zhan was very badly hurt. Sitting inside the defensive formation, he stared at Zhang Ruochen and chuckled wryly. "So he is this powerful in the Sword Way. I can only look up to him."
"He’s so young but so strong. Who can he be?" Ao Jing, young leader of the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan, was also shocked. How could someone so strong be a nameless figure?
Ao Xinyan bit her lips. The more she stared at Zhang Ruochen’s back, the more familiar he seemed. "How can his back be so familiar?" she murmured to herself. "He… Didn’t he die from the trial thunder? It can’t be him!"
Right now, Ao Xinyan was nervous and also excited for some reason. Her heart beat extremely quickly. She really wanted to run over and tear apart the Spiritual Power barrier around the man to see who he truly was.
"You’re quite powerful, huh? Let me exchange some blows."
Dragon Saint Ye Yun saw that it was difficult for Ye Hong and Zhang Ruochen to determine a winner. Instead of continuing to wait, he also joined the battle.
"Thunder G.o.d Tripod."
A tripod flew out of his forehead, appearing in his hands. There were more than 100 bolts of thunder on the tripod. Crackling with shocking power, it went for Zhang Ruochen’s back.
Eyes gleaming, Zhang Ruochen looked back. Sword Way Saintly Look, he thought.
Whoos.h.!.+
Tens of thousands of Sword Way rules poured out of Zhang Ruochen’s back. It formed a huge sword’s shadow and cut down on Dragon Saint Ye Yun.
Kaboom!
Dragon Saint Ye Yun flew back. The dragon scales on his arms were sliced open by the Sword Qi. Red blood flowed out.
"How is this possible? He actually has a sword-shaped Saintly Look…" Dragon Saint Ye Yun was a bit shocked.
Once again, Zhang Ruochen controlled the Saintly Look and cut down, sending Dragon Saint Ye Hong flying. The sharp Sword Qi left b.l.o.o.d.y gashes on Ye Hong’s chest.
Zhang Ruochen had hurt two Dragon Saints by himself. This combat ability dumbfounded all the cultivators present.
Dragon Saint Ye Hong became truly furious. "The s.p.a.ce is too small here and I’m cramped. If you dare, let us go fight outside!"
"Fight outside?" Zhang Ruochen asked. "What if you aren’t my match and escape?"
"Escape?" Dragon Saint Ye Hong echoed. "What a joke. The n.o.ble dragon race will never escape."
Ye Yun scoffed coldly. Electric light shot out in all directions. "Let us fight outside!" he said boldly. "Whoever escapes is a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. How about that?"
"Fine! Let us have a good fight outside."
Zhang Ruochen seemed very carefree. Transforming into a blur, he flew out of Divine Dragon Pavilion first.
Dragon Saint Ye Hong and Ye Yun exchanged glances and smiled evilly. They’d suggested going outside because they couldn’t reveal their huge true forms inside the pavilion.
Without a doubt, a dragon was strongest when they were in their true forms.
"He dared to challenge the authority of the Ancient Dragon Mountain. I will rip him to pieces and devour him."
Dragon Saint Ye Hong acted as if he had a sure victory. Letting out a dragon roar, he charged out of the pavilion and chased after Zhang Ruochen.
Dragon Saint Ye Yun followed close behind.
Ao Xinyan walked out of the defensive formation. She looked outside and then looked away. "Grandfather, what do we know?"
Ao Yi seemed very composed. "Activate the defensive formation. No matter what their result is, we cannot let the two Dragon Saints leave alive."
"Why don’t we kill them directly with the formation?" Ao Xinyan asked.
Ao Yi shook his head. "We will not do it personally if we do not have to. If we can use the Yin and Yang Sect heir to take out the two Dragon Saints, it will only benefit us."
"The Yin and Yang Sect is our ally. What if the heir isn’t the Dragon Saints’ match and dies? How will we explain this to the Yin and Yang Sect?"
Ao Xinyan was worried because she suspected that the Yin and Yang Sect heir was the one she was thinking about.
They were too similar!
"Right now, we can only hope that the Yin and Yang Sect heir is strong enough to help us resolve this crisis." Ao Yi sighed. "If it is truly necessary, I will kill the two Dragon Saints."
