The sudden emergence of four Nascent Soul cultivators from the human side did indeed catch Mo Fan by surprise, yet it also made his heart race even faster.
He could not wait for these people to start fighting each other. That way, he would be the one to reap the final profit.
However, Situ Yunzhen’s earlier remarks almost made him lose his composure. In his heart, he silently mourned for the man.
If these old monsters really believed that the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon was suppressed to the same level as them, they would probably die horribly.
“Come on, treasure boy, are you sure that fellow can withstand the combined attack of those four old guys?”
At that moment, Bai Lu could not help glancing at the Soul-Devouring Banner shrouded in ghostly mist.
“Well… it’s honestly hard to say,” Mo Fan replied after a brief hesitation.
The moment those words left his mouth, a sharp glint flashed across Bai Lu’s eyes. He immediately asked, “Is that fellow truly a chi dragon? You didn’t trick this ancestor, did you?”
“Rest assured, Old Ancestor. I can guarantee that it is absolutely a genuine dragon species, and it carries a massive amount of true dragon blood within its body.”
“Oh, right, I forgot to mention something else. The reason I provoked that fellow in the first place was because I saw him receiving the true dragon inheritance here, so I disturbed him.”
Mo Fan answered Bai Lu’s questions with great enthusiasm, then added, “By the way, that fellow is genuinely terrifying. Old Ancestor, you had better not strike. It would not be worth it if you got injured!”
Yet how could Bai Lu still listen to such advice at this point?
The instant he heard it was really a chi dragon, his eyes had already begun to redden faintly. When Mo Fan later mentioned the vast true dragon blood and the fact that it had received the true dragon inheritance, Bai Lu completely lost control.
“What a fine Chi Dragon Saint King. Truly a treasure from head to tail!”
Bai Lu licked his lips, greed flashing across his eyes.
Nevertheless, he did not charge forward immediately. Instead, he waited patiently like a seasoned hunter.
The best hunters always appear last, striking unexpectedly to kill with a single blow.
Inside the ghost domain, Mo Fan sneered repeatedly. He then asked Bai Lu, “Old Ancestor, have you set your eyes on any particular immortal treasure? I’ll go guard it for you first, so no one else steals it.”
“Good lad! This ancestor knew I hadn’t misjudged you!”
Mo Fan’s words instantly put Bai Lu in a splendid mood. Although he vaguely sensed the boy had some ulterior motive, since the other party was taking the initiative to cosy up, Bai Lu naturally would not stand on ceremony. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “The three immortal treasures are a sword, a round disc, and a bronze mirror.”
“Of them, the sword specialises in slaughter, the disc is probably a special immortal treasure, very likely an array plate, and the bronze mirror is the strangest of all. So you go and keep that little fellow from Dragon King Sea occupied. Don’t let him actually take the bronze mirror!”
“Once everything here is settled, this ancestor will come find you, and we’ll join forces to seize the immortal treasures!”
“Deal!”
Mo Fan agreed at once, then immediately steered the Soul-Devouring Banner and flew off into the distance.
However, he did not head straight for the bronze mirror immortal treasure. Instead, he flew towards Bai Tian Tian and the black-clothed woman.
He knew perfectly well what kind of battle was about to erupt here, so he wanted to bring both women to his side in advance, consolidating all their strength to deal with any crisis that might follow.
While Mo Fan was moving, the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon on the other side quickly noticed him and immediately set off in pursuit.
Yet before it had flown far, a sword beam slashed fiercely across its body.
“Everyone, attack!”
The one who struck was Daoist Qingfeng. His strength was indeed fearsome, especially his sword intent, which had almost materialised. Although he currently only possessed peak Foundation Establishment cultivation, this single sword directly breached the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon’s defences, leaving a bloody mark on its neck.
This strike successfully drew the Chi Dragon Saint King’s attention and forced it to halt.
It raised a hand to touch the wound on its neck, then saw faint traces of blood on its fingers. Its amber vertical pupils instantly contracted.
“You dare injure me?”
It turned its head towards the old man who had already approached, its tone turning rather sinister.
Daoist Qingfeng’s brows furrowed slightly. He too had not expected that his sword beam would only leave a superficial cut on the creature’s skin.
In almost an instant, he realised how terrifying the Chi Dragon Saint King was. The hairs on his back stood on end.
This fellow…
Its cultivation did not seem suppressed at all!
In that moment, Daoist Qingfeng understood. His mouth went dry, and even his scalp began to prickle.
He vaguely realised that this time he had truly kicked an iron plate.
Still, he did not voice his discovery. Instead, he feigned composure and shouted, “Fiend! Even if you are a true Demon Saint King, you will die today!”
“Oh, is that so?”
The Chi Dragon Saint King laughed, but the laughter was icy. It stuck out its tongue to lick its somewhat dry lips, then twisted its neck, producing a series of cracking sounds.
“You seem much stronger than the others. Eating you should allow this ancestor’s cultivation to advance quite a bit, right?”
Its words filled Daoist Qingfeng with dread, yet he also knew he was already committed. There could be no retreat, or all those watching old monsters would immediately flee!
In that case, not everyone would necessarily die, but he, the one targeted by the Chi Dragon Saint King, definitely would not survive!
Therefore, after quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Daoist Qingfeng no longer hesitated. He let out a low shout and slashed with his sword again.
Swish!
This sword was even more terrifying than the previous one. The sword light almost solidified, transforming into a sword beam that chopped viciously towards the Chi Dragon Saint King.
Yet in the next instant, the Chi Dragon Saint King vanished from where it stood. Its speed was extreme; it appeared in front of Daoist Qingfeng almost instantly and reached out to grab his throat.
Clang!
Another sword flash streaked past, leaving a gash on the Chi Dragon Saint King’s claw. Daoist Qingfeng retreated in a hurry.
“Fellow Daoists, what are you still waiting for?!”
Seeing the Chi Dragon Saint King charge again, Daoist Qingfeng finally lost his composure. He called for help while inwardly cursing.
Moments ago these people had been loudly proclaiming they would join forces, and now they were playing this game. They were truly shameless!
Clearly, all of them wanted Daoist Qingfeng and the enemy to injure each other before they made their move.
But Daoist Qingfeng was no fool. He immediately turned into a streak of sword light and arrived beside Situ Yunzhen, saying quietly, “Brother Situ, if you don’t act, there’ll be no fruit to share!”
Situ Yunzhen’s expression changed slightly. Then he saw the Chi Dragon Saint King pounce towards them.
It had not yet closed in, but its terrifying pressure had already locked onto both of them.
Situ Yunzhen cursed inwardly while shouting helplessly, “Attack together! I’ll pin it down!”
With that, he directly unleashed his strongest secret art. Vast divine sense condensed at his brow into a bell.
In the next moment, the divine-sense bell flew out from his forehead and shot straight towards the Chi Dragon Saint King!
The Chi Dragon Saint King casually swung its palm, yet passed straight through the bell, which then arrived right in front of it.
Dong!
As the bell tolled, the Chi Dragon Saint King’s body suddenly froze!
“Now’s our chance!”
