1210 Dragon’s Soul Awakening
‘That bastard is really fighting on equal footing with the Patriarch, who is already transformed… No, he might even be ahead… Is he actually an unknown expert with a hidden cultivation? Where did someone like him come from?’ The Spirit Sovereign watching from a distance wondered inwardly, feeling an inexplicable sense of dread.
At this rate, he will have to join Patriarch Liang and fight this monster of unknown origin together.
Meanwhile, the other Spirit Sovereign that went to stop Xi Meili’s slaughtering appeared in front of her like a ghost right as she was a split second away from taking another soldier’s life, blocking her strike.
Xi Meili was so absorbed in her slaughtering that she didn’t notice the Spirit Sovereign’s presence until he appeared in front of her.
Once she realized this, she quickly distanced herself from him and became defensive.
“Why don’t you be a good little dragon and stay down? I don’t want to hurt you, even though you’ve already killed hundreds of my men. After all, the Young Master wouldn’t want to see any bruises on your body later…” The Spirit Sovereign said to her with a cold expression on his face.
Xi Meili smiled and said, “Then you don’t have to worry, since he won’t ever get such a chance.”
The Spirit Sovereign sighed before speaking again, “Do you really want to fight me? Unlike that monster over there, you don’t have what it takes.”
“I am more than enough for someone like you. Luckily for me, you are the weakest of the three.”
“…”
The Spirit Sovereign’s eyebrows twitched after hearing Xi Meili’s words. Indeed, he was the weakest of the three Spirit Sovereigns in terms of prowess, and that has always been his biggest insecurity, so he immediately flew into a rage after being reminded of it.
The Spirit Sovereign then spoke while gritting his teeth, “Now that I think about it, we have plenty of effective medicine, so it won’t matter even if I break all of the bones in your body!”
The Spirit Sovereign’s aura exploded after saying that, and he flew towards Xi Meili with his hands tightly grasped into fists.
Xi Meili didn’t hesitate to release all of her cultivation before clashing with him.
Although Xi Meili was not as monstrous as Yuan, she was capable of holding her own against a Spirit Sovereign as a Spirit Emperor.
In terms of talent, she has the highest potential in her family, even though she rarely cultivates due to their peaceful environment.
If Xi Mingze hadn’t encouraged and basically forced Xi Meili to train with her, she wouldn’t be anywhere as strong as she is today.
Whoosh!
The soldiers around them were blown away by the impact of their exchanges once they began fighting.
‘Che… I guess her royal bloodline isn’t just for show…’ The Spirit Sovereign was surprised to see Xi Meili holding her own against him.
Meanwhile, Yuan was in the middle of fighting Patriarch Liang, and he noticed what was going on with Xi Meili, but since she didn’t appear to be in any imminent danger, he didn’t intervene.
‘This fucking bastard! I cannot go all out on him because I will destroy my city along with him!’ Patriarch Liang’s frustration grew as he continued to fight Yuan.
Since they were still in the middle of his city, he couldn’t use any destructive techniques to deal with Yuan.
Thus, he started to think of ways to bring Yuan out of the city, where he could unleash his full strength. However, since he couldn’t even manage to push Yuan back, he couldn’t imagine how he’d force Yuan out of the city.
Eventually, he found a solution to his dilemma. While he may not be able to force Yuan outside the city, he could easily force Xi Meili outside, and he gambled that Yuan would follow her outside on his own accord.
Thus, Patriarch Liang immediately spoke to the Spirit Sovereign that was fighting with her through divine sense, “Bring Xi Meili outside the city as soon as possible!”
Although the Spirit Sovereign didn’t know Patriarch Liang’s intentions at first, he didn’t question it and used a technique that released a powerful blast of wind at Xi Meili.
“What the?!” Xi Meili was caught off guard by this random technique and was sent flying out of the courtyard before stabilizing herself.
However, the Spirit Sovereign would use the technique again before she could fully stabilize herself, sending her flying again.
“Are you messing with me?!” Xi Meili shouted at him in an annoyed voice, as she also had no clue what was going on.
But alas, she was sent flying again for a third time without receiving any answers.
Xi Meili was incredibly frustrated by now. Even though the wind wasn’t injuring her, it was not something she could really fight back with her inferior cultivation.
Naturally, Yuan noticed this, and he said to Patriarch Liang after understanding the situation, “If you wanted to fight me in a different location, you could’ve just asked, since I wouldn’t have refused. After all, I wouldn’t want anyone innocent getting hurt.”
And without saying anything else, Yuan flew in the direction that Xi Meili was sent flying towards.
By the time he caught up with her, Xi Meili was already many miles away from the city.
“I swear… I will kill you!” Xi Meili roared in anger as she tried to fix her messy hair.
“Are you okay?” Yuan appeared beside her shortly after.
“Yes…”
“They wanted to bring us outside the city, where they can fight us with all of their strength and not destroy their city,” Yuan explained to her.
Everything made sense to Xi Meili after hearing this, but she was still upset that she was sent flying in such a manner.
Eventually, Patriarch Liang and his army appeared before Yuan and Xi Meili again.
“Now that you can use your full strength, you no longer have any excuses left as to why you cannot defeat me,” Yuan said to Patriarch Liang with a provoking smile on his face.
“You won’t be arrogant for much longer, you little bastard.” Patriarch Liang sneered.
He turned to look at the Spirit Sovereign that had been fighting Xi Meili and said to him, “General Zheng, you will handle Xi Meili. I will handle that annoying bastard. General Wan, you will march the army towards the Ancient Dragon City, where the Emerald Dragon Family will be waiting for us.”
General Wan had a surprised look on his face, and he proceeded to express his concerns, “My Lord, shouldn’t I stay here with you just in case anything happens to you?”
However, Patriarch Liang immediately frowned at him and spoke in a low but cold voice, “Are you implying that I won’t be able to defeat him and will need your help?”
“M-My apologies, Lord Liang. That wasn’t my intention. I will lead the army and work with the Emerald Dragon Family until your arrival.”
“Then get out of here. We will regroup with you once we are done here. It won’t take long.”
General Wan then left the scene, taking with him thousands of soldiers.
“Shouldn’t we at least try to stop them?” Xi Meili turned to ask Yuan as General Wan left with the soldiers.
“Don’t worry, I don’t intend on letting them reach the city. We’ll be done here before they can go anywhere.” Yuan said as he readied his Empyrean Overlord.
Xi Meili nodded, and she retrieved a golden spear from her spatial ring.
“Mother lent this to me as a good luck charm… I didn’t think I would be using it…” Xi Meili mumbled as she caressed her family’s heirloom, the Dragon’s Soul.
Yuan glanced at the Dragon’s Soul, and for some reason, he could feel a weird sensation coming from it, almost as though it was trying to communicate with him. Unfortunately, he did not have the time to ponder, as Patriarch Liang and General Zheng began their attack the next moment.
BOOM!
When Patriarch Liang and Yuan clashed with each other, a powerful ripple swept the area. Patriarch Liang’s prowess had increased exponentially now that he no longer has to worry about destroying his city.
“You should’ve never stuck your nose in our business, you nobody! Now, you will die for it!” Patriarch Liang said to Yuan after pushing him back multiple times during their clashes.
“And you should’ve never threatened the Xi Family,” Yuan calmly said, and his aura suddenly spiked.
“What?!” Patriarch Liang was startled, even shocked by Yuan’s sudden domineering aura that was multiple times stronger than just seconds ago.
Meanwhile, the Dragon’s Soul in Xi Meili’s grasp began trembling when it sensed Yuan’s aura.
“What is going on?” Xi Meili looked at her spear with a bewildered expression, as she has never seen the Dragon’s Soul acting in such a manner before.
