With a roar of laughter, a sharp sound came from behind Zhuo Fan.

Zhuo Fan used his left arm to fend it off as his right arm returned to normal size for receiving the next blow.

Pff!

Zhuo Fan’s red hand was now holding a tail.

But he wasn’t out of the woods yet, as Huangpu Tianyuan’s second claw came for him. With both hands busy and being unable to use Divine Eye of the Void at such short notice, Zhuo Fan resorted to using his wings as a cover.

Rip!

The Earth Dragon’s Claw pierced them like paper, soaking him in blood.

Zhuo Fan’s brow trembled with pain, yet he was covered with sweat.

At least the Sea Phantom Wings were from a 7th-level spiritual beast and were tough enough to hold the Earth Dragon’s Claw back with the both of them.

Zhuo Fan’s wings trembled, giving his all to resist. Huangpu Tianyuan opened his mouth as the claws and tail struggled in their confinements. Zhuo Fan needed the slightest distraction and his head would roll.

The sight of Zhuo Fan getting pushed back got everyone tense. He couldn’t do anything but be on the receiving end.

It was hard to believe Huangpu Tianyuan was just that strong with his Nine Dragons Diamond Body. Zhuo Fan was only in the Profound Heaven Stage and even his two beast arms weren’t enough to save him from a hard time.

[Blast it! I can only retreat.]

Zhuo Fan sighed, not liking it one bit as his eyes shined golden.

Huangpu Tianyuan could see it clear as day that he wanted to hightail away from the battle.

With Zhuo Fan’s cunning, falling for his tricks once was bad enough. He had to finish him off now, when he had the upper hand.

Who knew what this guy might cook up the next time around.

Zhuo Fan was weak here and now, but his endless bag of tricks made him unpredictable. If by some miracle he escapes this time, it’d be even harder to beat him next time.

And he needed to deal with Zhuo Fan fast. There was the imperial family to consider as well. Leaving Zhuo Fan alive now would be cutting his own feet in his fight with the imperial family.

[This has to end now!]

Huangpu Tianyuan’s eyes flashed with bloodlust, making even Zhuo Fan shiver.

But that wasn’t important, as the golden halo in his eye promised safety.

“Ha-ha-ha, Huangpu Tianyuan, since I can’t beat you, we’ll be sure to meet again!” Zhuo Fan snickered as he poofed away.

Hum~

The ripple was faint and where a peak Radiant Stage expert might fail to pick it up, a Nine Dragons Diamond Body could.

His creepy ears flinched and Huangpu Tianyuan mocked, “Hi-hi-hi, fat chance, Zhuo Fan!”

“Nine Dragons Diamond Body, Earth Dragon Wave!”

Roar!

Huangpu Tianyuan howled at a spot a thousand meters away.

A beam of yellow shot from his maw, just as Zhuo Fan appeared, panting.

Zhuo Fan cried inside, but it was too late.

Boom!

The explosion shone bright and Zhuo Fan caught the yellow pillar right in his chest. He paid a summary visit to the bowls of five mountains before being buried under their rubble.

There was so much dust that it formed a hurricane.

It soon cleared and revealed everything in ruins. A red trail came out of the rocks like a bloody spring, and robbed any hope of Zhuo Fan being alive.

“Steward Zhuo!” Qiu Yanhai and the rest panicked. Drifting Flowers Edifices and Veiled Dragon Pavilion were also worried.

Huangpu Tianyuan mocked, “Dragon Vein Soul is a guardian spirit of the lands. Since I train in the Nine Dragons Diamond Body and am also in the Earth Dragon form, I can pick up any changes in the area. Messing with space around me is like painting a target on your back. That Earth Dragon Wave is my true power. Not even the Earth Dragon Claw can handle it, to say nothing of getting hit squarely in the chest. He’s dead beyond any doubt!”

“Huangpu Tianyuan is invincible!” You Wanshan’s side cheered.

While the Luo clan paled, their hopes seeping out of them like the blood from those rocks.
