Chapter 190: Unexpected Trouble “A complete Five Elements Dao Fruit?” Duan Yue was shocked. Suddenly, he cried out, “Could it be the purple Cauldron of Five Elements refined by Gu Feiyang, which was auctioned off by Myriad Treasures Store a while ago?” That surprised Yunxiao. “Eh? How did you know?” Duan Yue smiled wryly and said, “At that time, I was already searching for alchemists in Firecrow Empire, so I had naturally seen Myriad Treasures Store’s promotional brochure. I just didn’t know it was purchased by you. It’s only been a while, so how could you possibly completely refine a fifth-tier treasure? Even I can’t do it.” While smiling, Yunxiao said, “That’s the difference between you and me. You’d better concentrate on healing. It seems very intense over there.” Duan Yue closed his eyes and began to meditate while Yunxiao’s eyes were half-closed, not knowing whether he was meditating or watching the battle. The six people on the other side were already in great trouble. Massive energy waves kept spreading out, and everyone was covered in blood in just ten minutes, panting while their eyes burned with killing intent and rage. The Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon was not much better. Riddled with shocking wounds, it went berserk over the sea. Waves of seawater rushed up and exploded in the air and turned into jets of water that shot out in all directions, which brought with them wisps of electric power. All of those attacks caused the six people to hide here and there, throwing them into confusion. “Damnit! That boy must have known about it! When I see him again, I’ll definitely rip him apart!” Yan Feiyue quickly dodged and avoided the attack in the air while roaring and scolding. When the cauldron exploded and the flood dragon escaped, he was the first one to be seriously wounded. He was now covered in blood and did not have the strength to attack; dodging alone was already very difficult. Anyhow, the other five were no better. They were caught unprepared by the flood dragon’s escape, and now they could only hold on from being defeated with their combined forces. Anyhow, it was indeed getting difficult. Fighting a sea beast of the same level over the sea was a deadly thing to begin with, let alone fighting a purple flood dragon who possessed the bloodline of a True Spirit. Now, even if they wished to flee, the surrounding void was already completely sealed off by the flood dragon’s demonic power, so they could only fight on desperately. “I didn’t expect Duan Yue to be so treacherous! And he has a good reputation! Had I known, I would never have let him join us!” Ma Wendi’s face was terrifyingly dark. Under the double attacks of water arrows and lightning, they greatly consumed their energy even though they could still avoid and dodge. Clearly, they could not last too long under that assault. Lord Coldcrow gnashed his teeth and said, “I knew he was a bad guy, but I didn’t expect he would give up the most basic moral character for such little benefits! Damnit, he’s not worthy of being a man!” Situ Xing and his wife were livid with rage as well. Tang Qiaoqiao’s beautiful face was streaked with blood and looked messy. In a voice thick with hatred, she said, “What’s the point of complaining now? The pressing matter at the moment is to join hands and kill this beast, or we will all die!” Ma Wendi agreed that and said, “At this critical juncture, if anyone tries to hide his strength, we will all attack him together.” Yan Feiyue said in a deep voice, “Good! Since everyone is so open and honest, I won’t hold you back!” These people immediately exploded out with their aura, which repelled the flood dragon’s demonic aura in an instant. Hence, the whole situation had changed dramatically. A large scissor appeared in Lord Coldcrow’s hand, which he unsealed and transformed into a crocodile that was as long as the combined height of three men. It jumped in the air like a living thing while emanating a terrifying and fierce aura as it exhaled streams of gray Primordial Qi and made them swirl around its body. Shi Hongcai widened his eyes as a vast righteous energy broke out of him, and a phantom of a Saint quietly emerged behind him. Vaguely, a sound of all schools of thoughts contending for attention rang out, forming into a separate space. Situ Xing and his wife, on the other hand, combined two swords into one. A massive sword emerged over them, emanating a powerful blue aura which pushed the sea fog away, looking like a huge blue gemstone embedded between the heaven and sea. Ma Wendi and Yan Feiyue, too, exercised their ultimate moves. They stood over the flood dragon, one to the left and one to the right. One’s body shone with golden light like a hot sun while the other one sucked in the nearby Primordial Qi like a black hole, forming into a terrifying power and wheeling in the sky. The six people went all out and immediately trapped the Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon between the heaven and sea. Now, it could not fly into the sky or dive back into the sea, and just kept roaring and struggling violently. In the distance, Yunxiao gave a cold snort and said contemptuously, “A motley crowd! If they could make a concerted effort like this when the Seven Stars Array was destroyed, they would not have fallen into this situation. Sure enough, teammates like pigs are the most frightening.” Duan Yue, who was recuperating quietly, sensed the few powerful auras in the distance as well and sneered, “The six of them are all crafty old scoundrels, and they all pray for the others to strike first so they can reap the fruits later. Even if they can kill the flood dragon this time, they will suffer greatly. We just have to wait for them to finish.” He could not help but ask, “What medicinal pills did you give me just now? I’m almost fully recovered.” At that moment, Yunxiao’s expression changed slightly, and he gazed into the distance with his eyes full of doubts. Suddenly, a restless feeling rose within him. He spread his divine sense to the maximum, but he found nothing. However, the unusually restless feeling hung in his heart. With his current soul power and cultivation base, such a restlessness would never appear for no reason. “What kind of danger will it be? Why can’t even my divine sense sense it? Could there be a stronger sea beast?” Yunxiao murmured to himself. His face turned serious as he said, “Sir Duan, prepare to flee at any time. I’m afraid things have changed!” “Changed?” Duan Yue did not understand. “I thought the situation is very good now? Everything is within your expectations…” He halted suddenly and his pupils constricted as he looked into the distance in horror. A mighty power suddenly emerged over the horizon, pressing down everyone’s aura, including that of Ma Wendi and his group, as well as the flood dragon. It was so strong that it could be sensed even across such a great distance. A huge hoverchariot suddenly appeared in the sky over Ma Wendi and the others. A figure stood quietly on it, looking down coldly with a hint of a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Then, he threw out a hand, and a weapon shaped like a ghost claw immediately expanded in the air, pulled by a string of huge chains that rattled and clanged noisily. The ghost claw’s power was astonishing. It fell and grabbed, which shocked the six people as they felt the void seem to be held in its palm, and a mighty power spread and held them in place. Meanwhile, the Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon was directly captured out by the ghost claw, struggling desperately with unwillingness as the man pulled it up. “Haha! It is indeed a Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon!” The man’s eyes lit up. After the flood dragon was captured by his mystic weapon, they shrank rapidly together and disappeared into his hand, put away by him in some unknown mystic artifact. The six people down below were all fuming, their eyes grown wide. But, the powerful aura emanated from the man made them shut their mouths. Moreover, they were all seriously wounded at the moment. Looking at the piece of fat meat that they were about to enjoy fly out of their mouths, Ma Wendi could hardly contain his anger, and he said in a deep voice, “Your Excellency, this flood dragon…” “Get lost!” The man’s lips parted slightly and gave Ma Wendi a scornful glance. His fierce gaze fell like sharp blades, which made the latter shudder and hurriedly shut his mouth. “You are from the Constellation Sect!” Lord Coldcrow’s eyes gleamed as he said fiercely, “Although your aura comes with the essence of the Seven Constellations realm, it is faint, so you should still be a peak nine-stars Martial Grandmaster. For all I know, among the experts of the Constellation Sect in Qinghai, there are two Guardians who are nine-stars Martial Grandmasters, apart from Lord Xu Feng, who is a Martial Emperor. May I know if Your Excellency is one of them?” The man grinned. “Haha! Old Freak Coldcrow certainly has some insight. You’re right, I’m Heng Yuan, one of the two Guardians of the Constellation Sect in Qinghai. If you are sensible, get lost now, and you can still keep your lives. Otherwise, hehe…it seems not bad to make this sea a place where you end your lives.” Lord Coldcrow’s face turned extremely unsightly, and he said with difficulty, “Guardian Heng, Lord Xu Feng and I…” “That’s enough!” Heng Yuan interrupted him impatiently and said, “Don’t try to form ties with me! If you don’t want to get lost, you can die now!” Without any sign, he threw out a punch. The blast pierced through the air and struck the unprepared Lord Coldcrow, ripping a large hole through him. The whole sea instantly turned eerily silent as everyone stared at Lord Coldcrow with disbelief. A seven-stars Martial Grandmaster was killed like this for no apparent reason? Even Lord Coldcrow himself stared incredulously at the large hole on his chest. Finally, he fell from the sky into the sea with despair and fury. A shadow swam slowly over in the water; it was a big fish who swallowed Lord Coldcrow’s body and then dove deeper into the sea. The other five gasped as their expressions changed drastically, and an uneasy sense of death emerged in their hearts. Ma Wendi’s pupils constricted, and he suddenly mustered all his energy as he turned into a beam of light and sped toward the horizon. Only then did the other four wake up from their shock, and they hurriedly mustered their energy to flee in all directions. “Hmph! Do you think you can run from me?” A cold smile appeared on Heng Yuan’s face. Ma Wendi, who was the first to flee, suddenly crashed into an invisible force and was knocked back. He turned pale with horror, and his heart was filled with dread. Since Heng Yuan was ready to take them all in, he must have prepared all kinds of means. In shock and fury, Ma Wendi hurriedly drew his sword and frantically slashed at the invisible force. “Hmph! With your current weak strength, do you think you can cut me?” A figure gradually stepped out in the void over the invisible force as he casually lifted a hand and knocked back Ma Wendi’s attack with just one punch. Meanwhile, a cold, mocking smile emerged on his face. “Who are you!” Ma Wendi was shocked, and his heart sank. “I’m Li Yuanyu, and I serve under Lord Xu Feng, the Martial Emperor from the Constellation Sect. I’ve been ordered to kill you all!” the man said coldly. Meanwhile, the other four people who fled in four different directions ran into someone as well. Judging from their aura, these people were all genuine Martial Grandmasters!
