AST 1446 - No Survivors, Yan King and His Royal Family (1/2)

Qing Shui did not expect to reunite with his father so quickly. He was happy, but not excited. Perhaps his father was excited; he must miss a lot of people, and the memories etched into his heart...

Mother would be elated if she knew, but the top priority at the moment was to free Father from Soaring Dragon's grasp. The Soaring Dragon Organization was the Soaring Dragon Continent's strongest force. However, the current Demon Lord Palace was no weakling either. Facing the Soaring Dragon Organization head-on without the loot from the Ancient Relics would have been impossible. Now that they had gained some power, it was a different story.

Even though the numbers were impressive in such a large organization, only a few key players were necessary to turn the tide in battle, especially since Qing Shui had already reached this level of strength.

”Father, is this the so-called way of justice?It's even worse than the typical evil way. The Soaring Dragon Organization might be strong, but we aren’t weak either,” Qing Shui stood up and asked, looking at Yan Zhong Yue.

Yan Zhonyue hesitated. Based on that old man's character, he would never be allowed to walk away that easily; even those related to him would be at risk. He started to regret having his memory restored and reuniting with his son.

”Mother and Qing Qing miss you very much. I've grown up now; leave it to me, okay?” Qing Shui continued.

”Haha, okay, then! Let's join hands, father and son! I've been the Dragon Head for so long, how would I not have some capabilities? Since you all are so cruel, I'll repay the favor!” Yan Zhongyue declared and turned towards his enemies.

”Dragon Head, you say? Haha. Didn’t you ever suspect anything? I have one question for you; have you ever had any say in any matter?” the sarcasm dripped from Left Custodian’s lips.

The old man's face was rigid, but his eyes were as sharp as a hawk’s, emitting a chilling aura.

”Of course, I knew. You people were far older, so I sucked it up. Xiao Zilang, you have always assumed that you were stronger than me just because you are the Left Custodian. I dare you to face me, one-on-one.”

”Fight you, one-on-one? Bring it on! I'd like to see how you'd fair against me,” Xiao Zilang growled with a rigid smile.

”Father, let me fight in your place!” Qing Shui quickly interjected.

”What? Don't you have faith in me? Don't worry; I won't die until I've met with your mother and Qing Qing.” Yan Zhongyue patted Qing Shui on the shoulder, laughing.

Qing Shui knew it was useless to insist. After all, Father was the Dragon Head of the Soaring Dragon Organization, and he had remarkable medical skills. With him here, things should not get out of hand.

With only one leap, Yan Zhongyue was in the air, already having closed half the distance between himself and his opponent.

”Make your move, and don't accuse me of bullying. You, Dragon Head, are nothing to me. You could've remained the Dragon Head for another century, but you just threw that away.” Xiao Zilang laughed cynically.

The Dragon Saber appeared in Yan Zhongyue's hand out of nowhere. The blade was three meters long and seven inches wide, decorated with an Azure Dragon. It was such a domineering weapon.

”I've never seen you use this weapon; did the Patriarch give it to you?” Xiao Zilang asked.

”Ignorant fool. Take this!”

Tidal Wave First Saber!

Yan Zhongyue swung the Dragon Saber. With a dragon cry, a huge saber Qi slashed down on Xiao Zilang.

Xiao Zilang's weapon was a long, thick, dark-green staff.

Wooden Shield!

He employed a ray of green Qi to shield himself. At the same time, with a swing of the staff, the staff’s shadow appeared to block the domineering saber Qi.

Tidal Wave Second Saber - City Break!

With a flash, Yan Zhongyue broke through like a dragon, the Dragon Saber in his hands once again slashing towards Xiao Zilang.

Xiao Zilang could not remain relaxed anymore. This slash was too much of a threat. Plus, his weapon was weak against sabers. This set him on guard.

****

Layers of greenish light began to appear from the staff. All of a sudden, a sky-high Ancient Tree sprouted out of nowhere, enveloping him instantly and blocking the slash.

”Let's see how long you can hide. Divine Dragon Tail Whip!”

Yan Zhongyue swung his Dragon Saber once again. The image of an Azure Dragon seemed to descend from the heavens, swinging its tail at the Ancient Tree.

Crash!

The impact was devastating. The attack sent Xiao Zilang flying, but he did not sustain much damage.

Qing Shui now knew that his father had hidden his true strength. He feels that he had inherited his abilities; otherwise, he would not have powered up so quickly. His father's strength could not compare to his own, but he was still stronger than Zhan Yu and Hua Rumei regarding raw power, not actual battle power.

”Who would've thought you hid your true strength. I must say that I'm surprised. However, you're still coming back with me today. Men, attack!” The Left Custodian either realized that he could not win or was scared to reveal it. Either way, he had enough.

”Fighting with numbers, are we? I'll teach you the true meaning of despair!” Qing Shui immediately summoned the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant, Dragon Slaying Beast, and Hellfire Phoenix before activating his Innate Skills.

He who made the first move would gain the advantage.

Emperor's Qi!

At the same time, he cast his Innate skills on Yan Zhongyue and the others.

Phoenix Battle Intent!
