Chapter 657: Must Break Through, Break Through!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
The three men were the metal-elemental, top-tier Qian-level dragon cultivators who had tried to surround Hao Ren. They had been lured into the Kunlun Mountain by Hao Ren and were almost killed by the Soul Formation cultivators.
They had rested in their respective caves for two days. After regaining their strength, they got Hao Ren’s home address through a disciple and rushed over during the night in anger.
The metal-elemental dragons were never afraid of the Dragon God Shrine, especially these three metal-elemental, top-tier Qian-level dragon cultivators who were established figures, each leading a group of metal-elemental dragons.
However, since the intelligence sharing was less effective among the caves of metal-elemental dragons than an ordinary dragon palace, these three metal-elemental dragon cultivators didn’t know that six peak Qian-level dragons from the Elder Council had been completely defeated today…
These three metal-elemental dragons had attributed their failure to the Kunlun Mountain and their carelessness since they hadn’t expected Soul Formation Realm cultivators to be there.
However, they didn’t think Hao Ren could escape from them in East Ocean City!
Bang! The energy sphere around the small house shattered, shaking the house.
Yue Yang, Hao Zhonghua, and Grandma were all woken up by the commotion.
At the critical moment of the breakthrough, Hao Ren was distracted by the attacks on his home, and one thread of nature essence entered the wrong meridian by shooting into the Chize Acupoint on the right side, immobilizing his arm.
“Steady, Gongzi. We’ll go out and check.”
The Lu sisters hadn’t expected cultivators to attack a mortal’s house on the territory of East Ocean City at the risk of angering the Dragon God Shrine.
Turning into two dashes of lights, they flew out from the window. Although their realms had dropped to Zhen-level, their combat force was still high enough to defeat cultivators at Gen-level or even Xun-level.
In the high sky, the three metal-elemental dragon cultivators emitted vague golden lights and attacked Duan Yao who was standing at the back door.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili immediately created a red energy sphere around Hao Ren’s small house and the three metal-elemental dragon cultivators so that mortals wouldn’t see the fight.
Standing at the back door, Duan Yao who had just recovered her realm saw three golden lights shoot toward her, but she had no time to dodge.
Hum!
At this critical moment, white light glittered on the helm of her colorful traditional dress.
Except for all kinds of gold and silver threads, the dress had several precious stones on the helm.
The golden lights shot by the three top-tier Qian-level cultivators struck on Duan Yao’s dress without any result.
“Impossible!”
The three metal-elemental dragon cultivators looked astonished.
Although they hadn’t used their full force, they had meant to kill this Core Formation Realm human cultivator with their attacks.
Regardless of the relationship between the metal-elemental dragon clan and the Dragon God Shrine, the dragon cultivators and the human cultivators had an agreement after the great war.
Any human cultivators could kill any dragon cultivators who appeared on and above Fifth Heaven, and the dragon cultivators could kill any human cultivators who ventured below Fifth Heaven.
Technically, Xie Yujia was a human cultivator, but with protection from Hao Ren and Su Han, the only two inspectors in East Ocean City, who would dare to touch her?
As to the other inspectors, they could see the mark on Xie Yujia’s left shoulder which was left by a Soul Formation Realm cultivator, and none of them would dare to kill Xie Yujia unless they had a death wish.
With this mark, Xie Yujia even entered the Dragon God Shrine during the general exams, and no one dared to touch her!
“Retreat, and we’ll spare your lives!”
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili rushed out from the house and yelled at the metal-elemental dragon cultivators.
At this critical cultivation moment for Hao Ren, the priority was to keep quiet.
The three metal-elemental dragon cultivators laughed when they saw the Lu sisters.
“Ignorant young girls, hand over Hao Ren, and we’ll spare your lives!” they shouted back.
The Lu sisters showed their strengths which were only on Zhen-level. While the three dragon cultivators could sense their realms, they couldn’t clearly see Lu sisters’ techniques and physiques through the colorful light around them.
While they talked, they suddenly shot three dharma treasures at Duan Yao who was standing beside the back door.
This time, they had launched their dharma treasures with full force.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Three dharma treasures were bounced off Duan Yao’s dress.
Duan Yao didn’t move, but the traditional dress was invincible against the dharma treasures and had easily blocked the attacks from the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!
“Such a powerful garment!”
The three metal-elemental dragon cultivators looked surprised and then pleased.
“The reason why Hao Ren attracted the attention of our master must be that he has countless treasures. He had even taken the Heaven-Reaching Shield, a supreme spiritual treasure, let alone other powerful dharma treasures!” they thought to themselves.
Seeing them attacking her, Duan Yao was afraid.
She knew that the colorful dress that Lady Zhen gave her was powerful, but she was afraid that it couldn’t defend against the repeated attacks from the three grand cultivators. She flew up and tried to flee into the deep ocean.
With her nature essence recovered, she could fly in the colorful dress which had power no less than the purple gold hairpin.
Hua… Duan Yao rose in a purple light while she flew toward the sea.
“You can’t run!” One of the metal-elemental dragon cultivators reached out his right hand suddenly.
In their eyes, this human cultivator, no matter who she was, must be related to Hao Ren since she was in his home. Once they caught her, they thought that they could use her to force out Hao Ren.
The Lu sisters had tried to protect Duan Yao, but the latter went beyond their attack range when she suddenly flew toward the sea. Before they could use their Yin-Yang Bracelets, Duan Yao was caught by one of the metal-elemental dragon cultivators with one hand.
The Qian-level and Kun-level dragon cultivators were equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Trying to flee, Duan Yao underestimated the combat force of the dragon cultivators on First Heaven and was caught by them.
Although the colorful dress was invincible against nature essence and dharma treasures, it was the same as ordinary clothes in other aspects. When the metal-elemental dragon cultivator flew toward Duan Yao and clutched her neck with the speed that was undetectable to the naked eye, she couldn’t escape even though she had the dress.
In the house, Grandma was woken up by the shaking. She rubbed her eyes and looked out of the window. Due to her poor eyesight in the night, she only saw some vague black dots in the high sky.
“Zhonghua! Zhonghua! Is it an earthquake?” Grandma yelled toward the door.
Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were also woken up. After putting on his clothes, Hao Zhonghua ran to Grandma’s room to comfort her.
Yue Yang ran to the balcony and looked toward the sea but could see nothing unusual. However, knowing she didn’t dream of the shaking, she called the duty room of the meteorological station on Coral Island, asking them to observe carefully.
Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi were startled out of their dreams by the shaking as well. They turned on the light and realized that Duan Yao and the Lu sisters were absent. Afraid that the three girls had begun a fight, they rushed to the window and saw three metal-elemental dragon cultivators hovering in the high sky above the sea surface!
With far better eyesight than Grandma’s, they saw one cultivator clutching Duan Yao by the neck while her feet were dangling in the air.
“Hao Ren! If you don’t come out, this girl will surely die!” the metal-elemental dragon cultivators yelled.
In Grandma’s room, Hao Zhonghua and Grandma were baffled when they heard the voice, wondering where it came from.
Since the Lu sisters had created an energy sphere to engulf the house and the metal-elemental dragon cultivators in the high sky, the residents in other houses outside of the energy sphere couldn’t hear the shout.
Swoosh!
A golden light shot toward the metal-elemental dragon cultivators in the high sky.
The metal-elemental dragon cultivator standing in the middle broke the energy arrow easily with his right hand while his left hand clutched Duan Yao’s neck harder.
According to the rules, dragon cultivators couldn’t kill mortals, but human cultivators were not included.
Duan Yao’s face turned green due to the lack of oxygen. Caught by the metal-elemental dragon cultivator, she couldn’t use any cultivation strength to break free.
To the metal-elemental dragon cultivators, her life was nothing!
Xie Yujia stood in the small garden and pulled her bow to shoot out another energy arrow.
Standing by Xie Yujia, Zhao Yanzi clenched her fists but couldn’t do anything to help. Although her realm was a bit higher than Xie Yujia’s, she couldn’t attack from a distance like Xie Yujia!
This energy arrow weakened when it reached the three metal-elemental dragon cultivators who were in the high sky, and one of them broke Xie Yujia’s attack casually.
Xie Yujia’s demonic bow and energy arrows could threaten Core Formation Realm cultivators but were ineffective to Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, especially peak Qian-level dragon cultivators.
Seeing the dangerous situation, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili threw out their Yin-Yang Bracelets and dashed toward the three metal-elemental dragon cultivators although they had dropped to Zhen-level.
While Hao Ren was still in his breakthrough, they must do their best to buy him some time!
Bang! Bang!
Sure enough, the Lu sisters who had dropped to Zhen-level were no match for the metal-elemental dragon cultivators, and they were almost struck into the ocean by their opponents’ dharma treasures that were shot from the left and the right.
If not for the transparent energy spheres created by the diamond rings that Lady Zhen gave them, they would have been severely injured!
The Lu sisters kicked on the ocean surface lightly and dashed up once again!
Standing in the small garden, Xie Yujia shot out six energy arrows to help the Lu sister. When she saw that Hao Ren was absent, she had guessed that he must be in the critical moment of cultivation and felt a bit nervous.
“Roar!” Little White transformed into its snow lion form, lunging toward the three metal-elemental dragon cultivators in the high sky. However, as a level 3 demon beast, it could fight with low-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators but not three peak Qian-level cultivators!
The three metal-elemental dragon cultivators waved, and Little White was thrown into the ocean!
The Lu sisters rushed up again with Yin-Yang Bracelets!
Spitting flames, Little White dashed up as well!
The situation was heart-wrenching and tragic!
Watching the flashes outside and hearing the crackling sounds, Hao Zhonghua and Grandma were baffled.
After a while, Grandma turned to ask Hao Zhonghua, “It’s midnight. Who’s launching fireworks?”
Hao Zhonghua was also wondering why there were fireworks above the sea surface.
Suddenly, loud noises of window-breaking sounded, and Hao Zhonghua who was standing at the window in Grandma’s room saw a white dragon flying past their window!
Separated by only a window, he could clearly see the scales on this dragon’s body!
