The slow-moving cross of light suddenly expanded massively. Both the horizontal and vertical lines produced countless other streaks of light parallel to themselves. Previously, there had been a lot of space to move around in, making it easy to avoid the cross-shaped light. And yet now, the whole space was surrounded by a dense web of light. Their speed also suddenly accelerated, so there was no way for the trapped target to escape at all.
“So that’s why it was called a bone cleaver!” Meng Chan exclaimed, finally understanding.
If those deadly beams swept past, someone's entire body would be diced up into chunks of flesh, right? It was just like how chefs chopped up beef and pork.
Wait, why am I worrying for that guy?
My dad died such a tragic death, so he deserves to die like this!
“Do you think I’ve never seen Resident Evil before?” Zu An remarked with a sigh, then raised his hand. The center of his palm immediately became pitch-black, making the surrounding light rays also begin to distort. The web of white light was naturally no exception. It seemed to be sucked in by some force, vanishing completely into the black vortex.
Meng Jing’s eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.
What the hell? The Bonewater Cleaver’s ultimate move was destroyed just like that?
After all, the reason why the Bonewater Cleaver was referred to as an immortal-grade weapon was precisely because of that ability! For centuries, the Meng clan had relied on it to take down several beings who were more powerful than the clan master at the time. Who would have thought that it would end up being defeated at the hands of a junior? More importantly, it was as if he had already anticipated that such a thing would happen!
And what is going on with that black hole in his palm? Why were those rays of destruction all sucked in?
In that instant, countless questions filled his mind. However, he didn’t have time to think about anything in detail. He quickly controlled the Bonewater Cleaver and sent it to attack Zu An again.
“It’s time to end things,” Zu An said, taking out a small dagger and holding it up at cheek height.
Meng Chan’s eyes widened. This was the first time Zu An had brought out a weapon, but wasn’t it a bit too ordinary? It looked like the most simple and plain throwing knife, the kind one could find for a few silvers at any street blacksmith.
Clang!
Immediately after, the Bonewater Cleaver flew directly toward the knife, and the two weapons collided. However, the ordinary-looking knife was completely unharmed. It was actually the immortal-grade Bonewater Cleaver that was knocked away.
The Meng clan’s people had already seen too many things and had already grown numb, so they weren't surprised by that. What they were shocked about was that their great ancestor suddenly clutched his head and began to scream. He fell out of the air and rolled along the ground.
When he heard that scream of incomparable pain, King Dai thought, My legs were fucking smashed to pieces and I even had my dantian destroyed, but even I wasn’t as dramatic as you!
However, Zu An knew the real reason for that. He put away the throwing knife.
The Immortal Beheading Knives specialized in severing the soul. Even Zhao Han’s primordial spirit couldn't withstand an attack from them, so how could this trifling yin spirit last? Meng Jing had attached half of his yin spirit’s power to this blade, but it was instantly destroyed by the Immortal Beheading Knife. It was equivalent to having a person’s soul sliced straight in half. That kind of pain was naturally horribly unbearable.
With a casual wave of Zu An's hand, the Bonewater Cleaver in the air, that had lost its connection with its original owner, seemed to become possessed. It appeared next to Meng Jing’s neck, then sliced at it.
Clang!
A streak of golden light erupted. The Bonewater Cleaver was actually stopped!
Zu An narrowed his eyes. Life-saving treasures were extremely precious, so it should have been nearly impossible for Meng Jing to have a second one…
He looked at the golden scale that gradually vanished from Meng Jing’s neck and said, “Dragon scale?”
“This youngster seems to have some knowledge,” a grand voice said just then.
The entire Meng manor seemed to undulate up and down. The buildings that were supported by countless formations also collapsed one after the other. Countless Meng clan disciples screamed in horror as they fled for their lives. Then, a streak of golden light tore through the ground. A kilometer-long figure quickly rushed through the air, circling above the area.
“A great dragon!”
All of the people present were stupefied, and even Meng Chan’s expression changed. Not even she had known that such a giant dragon was hiding behind the Meng manor!
The capital’s flight restriction formation became faintly visible. It clearly sensed that something was violating its restriction. Countless streaks of light immediately blasted that giant dragon, but its attacks that were comparable to siege crossbow bolts didn’t seem to do a thing. The dragon just casually twisted its body.
Many people who were paying attention to what was happening in the area frowned. The bodies of the dragon race were extremely tough to begin with, and this was an earth element gold dragon, on top of that.
“This damn formation is a bit annoying. The attacks will only get stronger and stronger, and I can’t waste my energy on such senseless things,” the gold dragon murmured to itself, then descended from the sky to land on the only remaining tower in the Meng clan. Its massive head turned toward Zu An.
Meng Jing endured the intense pain in his head and quickly shouted, “Dragon King Hong Hua, help us kill this little scoundrel!” As the Meng clan’s great ancestor, he naturally knew who the dragon was.
In reality, every single one of the eight dukes had a hidden backer like that. The Meng clan’s was this giant gold dragon, while the Shi clan with the weakest foundation had an ancient devouring kun fish. However, the Shi clan had only obtained a strand of remnant will, which made it extremely weak in comparison. Still, even though it was the weakest, they had been able to rely on it to achieve extraordinary status. That was also the reason why the eight duke clans were all so powerful.
The gold dragon snorted and said in dissatisfaction, “The Meng clan’s ancestor showed this ruler kindness, but I only agreed to save your clan from destruction three times. I am not your lackey.” After saying that, he stared at Zu An and said, “The Meng clan’s offerings to this one over the years were quite satisfactory, I suppose. Human, this ruler intends to protect this old man, so you can get lost now.”
Zu An gave him a cold look and replied, “Just a trifling earth dragon, and yet you dare to offend me? If you kowtow and apologize to me right now, I can spare you your life out of respect for a certain friend from the Ocean races.”
“You bastard!” the giant gold dragon yelled furiously. White mist emerged from its nostrils as it said, “Who do you think you are, to dare to speak like this to this ruler?!”
You have successfully trolled Dragon King Hong Hua for +444 +444 +444…
Just then, a lovable female voice said, “Silly dragon, who do you think he is? This is the Fiend races' Regent, someone all kings of the Fiend races must show respect to. Even your dragon king has to greet him respectfully, and yet you dare to treat him with such discourtesy?”
