Chapter 447 - Stomp Ya (2/2)
Drifting Flowers Edifices and the rest were only getting glum.
Huangpu Tianyuan was like an unbreakable monster, robbing them of any chance at victory, even if they got lucky enough to take a shot at him.
Since besides luck, one had to target his weakness, scoring them the win. But Huangpu Tianyuan didn’t have any weaknesses.
Zhuo Fan’s side was in the pits of despair…
Shadow King, Sima Hui and Fang Qiubai, the innocent bystanders close by, were speechless.
“We all sensed Huangpu Tianyuan was reborn, but never imagined he’d train in Nine Dragons Diamond Body. Zhuo Fan can’t do anything.” Shadow King sighed, “If this keeps up, it’ll be Regent Estate’s victory. And…”
“And Huangpu Tianyuan becomes our greatest threat!” Sima Hui sighed, “We would’ve lent the Luo clan a hand earlier if we had known. But now Huangpu Tianyuan has an overwhelming position and this will only make dealing with him harder.”
The others nodded and Fang Qiubai said, “Gu Santong may be the only one who can fight him. But ever since he went after Zhuo Fan, the bugger has gone missing.”
“Maybe… Zhuo Fan finished him off.” Shadow King snorted, “The kid is tough, but a child at heart. With Zhuo Fan’s schemes, even being weaker he’d have supreme advantage. It’d be simple to kill him in some way or another.”
“Without Gu Santong, how are we supposed to deal with Huangpu Tianyuan? We were supposed to work with Huangpu Tianyuan to nab Zhuo Fan, and then get him later. But now… even if we team up with Zhuo Fan, the Nine Dragons Diamond Body isn’t easy to surmount. All we can do is watch. His Majesty’s plan already has deviations.”
Sima Hui sighed.
Shadow King nodded, “Don’t be so sure. We still have two more people!”
“Who?” Sima Hui asked.
Shadow King’s eyes flashed in anger, “His Majesty’s five Divine Dragons are real and he does have two experts back in the imperial capital. They were tasked to constrict Gu Santong, but by the looks of things, they’ll be going against Nine Dragons Diamond Body!”
“What?!” The two cried.
These two Divine Dragons were in the dark about this, while Shadow King knew them quite well judging by his tone.
Shadow King smiled at their bewilderment and recalled out loud, “They’re old friends of mine, in a way, and more than worthy to be called Divine Dragons. It’s natural to not know about them since you came later. Wouldn’t you have been quicker to leave His Majesty’s side otherwise, knowing he’d be defenseless?”
The two exclaimed.
[It’s all part of His Majesty’s plan.] But they’ve been by his side for so many years yet the emperor not once let it slip about the extra two Divine Dragons. It went to show how uneasy he felt about them.
The two sighed, souring inside…
Back to Zhuo Fan, he glared at his enemy, plans running wild in that head of his. His right arm shone brighter.
“He-he-he, still won’t give up? Stop wasting time, I am invincible. You can struggle all you want but your destiny is to lie dead at my feet. Zhuo Fan, there’s no getting out of this one!” Huangpu Tianyuan’s eyes flashed with savagery.
Zhuo Fan snickered, flicking his shining red arm, “Who can tell? Since my punch does nothing, I’ll just have to stomp ya!”
“Stomp?” Huangpu Tianyuan glanced at his legs in derision, “You only have powerful arms. You think your puny legs can do what your arms can’t?”
“We won’t know until we try, humph…” Zhuo Fan’s twisted smile came.
Huangpu Tianyuan’s common sense was tingling, but seeing how Zhuo Fan’s latest tricks were for naught, he had stopped paying it any attention.
No matter how sly and slippery Zhuo Fan was, in the face of true power, it was all moot.
Huangpu Tianyuan swished his tail and shot for Zhuo Fan. The latter used Shift to pop a hundred meters above.
Huangpu Tianyuan flicked his tail to go after him, just as Zhuo Fan’s mouth curled into a creepy smile, his red right arm smashing down at him.
Huangpu Tianyuan scoffed, using an Earth Dragon Claw to block.
On contact, the red fist exploded in size, changing its shape from a fist into a spiritual beast’s hoof.
In the face of the rippling winds, the ridiculous power and boundless might, Huangpu Tianyuan knew he had fallen for it good.
With Zhuo Fan coming from above and him from below, it was far too late to dodge. The red hoof even brought along a sense of danger.
He hated himself for not keeping his guard up around this punk.
Zhuo Fan was laughing, “Huangpu Tianyuan, I’ll trample those old bones of yours. Tangible Projection, Soaring Qilin Leg!”
