1209 Clashing With the Azure Dragon Family(4)
After the blast that had sent everyone flying, Xi Meili quickly stabilized herself before turning to look at the massive smoke, her eyes filled with worry.
'Yuan…!' She silently prayed to the Dragon God for his safety.
But then she realized that she could use her divine sense, and sure enough, she could sense Yuan's presence. This meant that he was still alive, at the very least.
As for the Spirit Emperors and the Spirit Sovereigns, they were so certain that Yuan had turned into atoms from the attack that they didn't even think for a second that he could still be alive.
Once Xi Meili confirmed that Yuan was still alive, she turned her attention to the soldiers that were still struggling to stand up from the explosion.
The majority of these soldiers were between Spirit Grandmaster and Spirit King, so they were not able to withstand the force, unlike Xi Meili, who was a Spirit Emperor.
When Xi Meili saw the opportunity, she did not let it go to waste and immediately rushed toward the large group of soldiers with a focused look on her face.
"Ahhh!"
"Get on your feet! We're being attacked!"
Horrified screams immediately resounded as Xi Meili wreaked havoc within the enemy lines, her punches strong enough to obliterate her target, causing their bodies to explode violently.
"Surround her! Attack her from all sides!" One of the Spirit Kings commanded the others from the back, his face full of sweat.
But alas, no matter how many Spirit Grandmasters or Spirit Kings they threw at Xi Meili, they would all perish before her bloodied fists. This is what normally happens when a Spirit King fights with a Spirit Emperor— they simply cannot overcome the difference in their strength.
Therefore, it was no wonder the Spirit Emperors all looked down on Yuan, as it was simple logic that a Spirit King cannot defy a Spirit Emperor with the assistance of some godly spiritual treasure.
Within moments, before Yuan even emerged from the smoke, dozens of Azure Dragon Family's soldiers perished.
By the time Yuan revealed his presence again, Xi Meili had killed a hundred soldiers.
Patriarch Liang and the other two Spirit Sovereigns were too focused on Yuan's battle with the Spirit Emperor, so much so that they forgot about Xi Meili and were unaware of her slaughtering.
A few minutes later, Yuan killed all sixteen Spirit Emperors with a single swing of his sword.
When the soldiers saw this, they almost lost all of their courage and desire to fight, even though they still had three Spirit Sovereigns on their side.
Xi Meili was too focused on slaughtering the soldiers, so she didn't notice it at first, but when she saw the terrified and shocked expressions on the soldiers' faces in the back, she subconsciously turned to look behind her, where those soldiers were looking at.
She was puzzled at first when she couldn't see any of the Spirit Emperors while Yuan was hovering in the air by himself, but when she noticed the mutilated bodies on the ground beneath Yuan, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets from shock.
Although Xi Meili wasn't worried that Yuan wouldn't be able to defeat the Spirit Emperors since he's managed to defeat even her mother, she truly did not expect him to deal with the Spirit Emperors so quickly and effortlessly.
"Y-You bastard! How dare you kill all of my Generals! I will make you pay!" Patriarch Liang suddenly roared with anger, his flushed face nearly releasing smoke.
Even if he's managed to take over the Xi Family, losing nineteen Spirit Emperors was a huge blow for his Azure Dragon Family, as it took them countless resources and time to cultivate those Spirit Emperors.
Yuan turned to look at Patriarch Liang with a nonchalant expression, and he spoke, "Do you even have the right to be angry? You also can't say that I didn't warn you. If you'd come to face me yourself, they wouldn't have lost their life so pointlessly—"
After a slight pause, he continued, "Actually, they would've still died, since this is war, after all. Though, at least you wouldn't have had to watch them die."
"Aaaaaah!" Patriarch Liang suddenly released a loud roar, causing the entire place to tremble.
"You'll regret running your mouth!"
Patriarch Liang then flew at Yuan with a thick spear in his grasp.
The other two Spirit Sovereigns looked at each other as they wondered what they should do.
It was at this moment that they noticed the mayhem happening not far away, where Xi Meili was still slaughtering the soldiers.
One of them frowned and said to the other, "Go take care of that woman before she kills all of our soldiers. I'll watch over the Patriarch to make sure nothing happens to him. Make sure you don't kill her. The Young Master will be really angry since he desperately yearns for her."
"Sure."
The Spirit Sovereign then went over to Xi Meili to confront her.
Yuan noticed this, but he didn't immediately act.
"How dare you look away while facing me?!" Patriarch Liang shouted as he lunged his spear at Yuan.
Clang!
Yuan effortlessly blocked the attack with his sword and said, "The three of you should've attacked me together instead of splitting up. You'd have a higher chance of landing a hit on me, too."
"A mere Spirit King!" Patriarch Liang's aura exploded, and his assault became even more aggressive and powerful.
However, no matter how much Patriarch Liang lunged his spear at Yuan, he couldn't land a single hit on Yuan, and he didn't know why.
'Why am I struggling so much to hit this bastard, who's moving slower than me, and is only defending?!' Patriarch Liang truly couldn't comprehend it.
"Is this all you've got? If so, I'll end it right away, as I am falling asleep from boredom right now." Yuan suddenly said in a nonchalant voice.
"SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH ALREADY!!!" Patriarch Liang released another roar, and his body started to transform the very next moment.
His body grew bigger, his hair grew longer, and his aura skyrocketed. As for his cultivation, it rose from Third Level Spirit Sovereign to Fifth Level Spirit Sovereign.
"DIE, YOU BASTARD!" Patriarch Liang swung his spear which was engulfed in some sort of azure-colored aura at Yuan.
Clang!
For the first time, Yuan was pushed back by Patriarch Liang's spear.
"How dare you look away while facing me?!" Patriarch Liang shouted as he However, for some reason, Yuan still had the same bored expression on his face.
This infuriated Patriarch Liang, who was on the verge of losing his mind now.
