Chapter 404 - 403: Summoning a Divine Beast for Some Fresh Air
"So I shouldn’t provoke you? Well, you’ve provoked me now, and I want you dead!" Liao Yunguang was utterly enraged. The meridians all over his body bulged as he pushed his power to its absolute limit.
’Anyone capable of instantly killing Ji Long must have a high cultivation level. He had to take this seriously, or he’d be the one to fall.’
"You want me dead? Are you even qualified?" Yi Tianyun sneered. "After I dealt with the small fry, the big one shows up. Teaching them a lesson, teaching them how to behave, is a good thing. Otherwise, if they go out and provoke someone else one day, it won’t be as simple as a broken leg."
"Teach *us* how to behave? Then I’ll teach you what it means to know your place!" Liao Yunguang roared, "Attack together!"
He signaled for Xu Jian to join him. Xu Jian’s cultivation level wasn’t high, but if they combined their attacks, it would have some effect, however small.
"Two against one? That doesn’t seem very fair," Yi Tianyun said with a cold smile, watching the two of them charge toward him.
"There’s no such thing as fair or unfair! Is there fairness on a battlefield? How naive!" Liao Yunguang sneered.
The two of them quickly drew their weapons, preparing to overwhelm him.
"Is that so? Then I’ll invite a couple of helpers to play as well." A glint flashed in Yi Tianyun’s eyes. With a grand wave of his hand, he called out, "Come on out and get some fresh air!"
Immediately, he summoned two massive figures. A tyrannical aura descended from above as they landed heavily on the ground. THUD! The heavy sound reverberated throughout the entire cavern.
The force of their aura sent the two men stumbling back several steps. Their eyes widened as they stared at the scene before them—two Giant Dragons!
One Red Dragon, one Black Dragon!
One was stronger than the other. The Red Dragon alone was at the peak of the Core Formation realm, and the Black Dragon’s cultivation was not far behind, having reached the seventh or eighth level of the Core Formation realm under his care. If this continued, he would soon have a Void Spirit-level Divine Beast.
"Di-Divine Beasts!?"
They were utterly stunned. They never expected him to have two Divine Beasts. Normally, just owning a single Divine Beast was enough to make someone laugh in their sleep. If not for that, they wouldn’t have come out searching for a Phoenix. Who would have thought that instead of a Phoenix, they would find two Giant Dragons—but they didn’t belong to them!
"You were going two-on-one, so I called out two Divine Beasts to help. That makes it a little fairer." Yi Tianyun smiled nonchalantly. He didn’t really have a reason; he just wanted to let them out for some fresh air and to thoroughly crush these guys.
’He calls this a little fairer? Fair my ass! Either one of these Divine Beasts could easily crush us. How are we supposed to compare? How are we supposed to fight?’
Without a moment’s hesitation, they turned and fled. But how could Yi Tianyun let them escape? He commanded, "Kick them back here for me!"
The two Giant Dragons shot forward, blocking the exit in the blink of an eye. They whipped their massive tails toward the men, moving so fast they left afterimages in the air! The two men hastily raised their weapons to block. CLANG! They were sent flying backward, tumbling several times before finally coming to a stop.
Their weapons were knocked from their hands, and the skin between their thumbs and forefingers was torn and bleeding. They were completely unable to withstand such tyrannical power. If Yi Tianyun hadn’t ordered the two Giant Dragons to show mercy, they would have been dead already.
Yi Tianyun walked over with a smile and said, "Trying to leave? Do you really think that’s possible?"
Liao Yunguang struggled to his feet. A section of his arm was caved in; he was powerless against such terrifying strength. His face twisted as he stood up, terror etched across his features. His body trembling, he knelt before Yi Tianyun and begged, "S-Sir, please, I beg you to spare me! I-I didn’t mean to target you. My brother deserved to have his leg broken... J-Just let me go, and I’ll go back and break his other leg to make him reflect on his actions!"
’He was terrified that Yi Tianyun would kill him. He didn’t want to die. He would rather break his own brother’s other leg than die himself. In his heart, he cursed his brother countless times. How could he have provoked such a monster!’
’A monster with two Giant Dragons... How could he ever get revenge? This was a complete suicide mission!’
"A moment ago, you were adamant that I should die. What makes you think I’ll let you go now?" Yi Tianyun said, narrowing his eyes at him.
"Then you can just die!"
Suddenly, Liao Yunguang let out a wild roar and shot up from the ground. He struck out with all his might, and layered waves of energy swirled into a golden beam that shot toward Yi Tianyun!
A scorching flame rose in Yi Tianyun’s palm, and he calmly met the attack head-on. BANG! Yi Tianyun didn’t move an inch, while Liao Yunguang was sent flying. In a contest of pure strength, Liao Yunguang wasn’t even in the same league.
"AHHHH..."
Suddenly, Liao Yunguang began to scream in agony. A lick of flame had wrapped around his arm and was now burning its way up. No matter how much he slapped at it, he couldn’t extinguish the fire. This was the Immortal Fire. Although it wasn’t truly immortal, it couldn’t be dealt with by ordinary means.
He scrambled and crawled toward the nearby pool of water, now completely engulfed in flames. With a loud SPLASH, he plunged into the pool. But even submerged in water, the flames continued to burn. His screams turned into gurgling sounds that bubbled up from the depths.
A moment later, a charred corpse floated to the surface, showing no signs of life.
"Ding! Successfully killed Liao Yunguang. Gained 390,000 Experience, 4,600 Madness Value, and 150 Sin Value. Obtained Martial Arts: Fracture Palm, God-sweeping Leg. Obtained items: Recovery Elixir, 100,000-Point Experience Pill, Fivefold Experience Card."
’The Immortal Fire really is amazing after its upgrade...’ Yi Tianyun was very satisfied with the flame. Its power had increased significantly, enough to easily burn a Core Formation Realm expert to death.
All that remained was Xu Jian. After being knocked away, he lay on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. When he managed to crawl to his feet, his eyes were filled with terror.
"D-Don’t kill me! I-I’m willing to be your slave! I-I’ll never betray you..." Xu Jian begged endlessly. A spoiled young master like him would never be willing to die, especially not the young master of the Xu Family, whose status was quite high.
"You think I would spare you?" Yi Tianyun said as he walked toward him, step by step.
"I-I know a secret! I-I found a Phoenix Companion Crystal nearby! There’s very likely a Phoenix in the area!" he shouted, revealing his biggest secret.
"A Phoenix?" Yi Tianyun gestured with his hand, and the Little Phoenix appeared in his palm. "You mean this one? Too bad for you, that’s not a secret at all. I already have it. I didn’t need you to tell me."
"Th-This..." Xu Jian’s eyes went wide. There really was a Phoenix.
’This man not only has two Giant Dragons, but also a Phoenix! He’s a complete monster! What Beast Tamer? Compared to him, they’re all just a pile of shit.’
