Chapter 3748: Acknowledging Strength

The woman's sword was completely suppressed by Ye Liuyun, so she could not continue to strike.

But she refused to admit defeat, immediately deploying a treasure—three red lanterns that hovered around her, providing protection and emitting flames.

Ye Liuyun merely curled his lip, raised his sword again and slashed in succession. Those treasures, the Demon Slaying Sword and Heaven Devour could be ignored outright and cut through directly. As for the flames, he was not only unafraid but could even absorb some of them.

While Lei Ming's opponent was split, he took advantage; the sword-wielding man's arm had been scorched black by electricity, yet he quickly employed a rising technique to contend with Lei Ming.

Lei Ming was strong, but the sword-wielding man's footwork was too agile, never managing to land a hit; he could often circle behind Lei Ming for a surprise attack.

After a while, Lei Ming grew impatient, directly manifesting his true form and creating a phantom to stand back‑to‑back with her to bolster defense, then pursued the sword-wielding man.

With her defense now flawless, she attacked even more fiercely. Her massive body crackled with electric arcs; a single claw strike forced the sword-wielding man to flee rather than meet it. He was constantly struck by lightning, his flesh blackened and smoking in many places.

The Nine-Head Demon Dragon, lacking strong sword intent, could not win a close‑quarters clash against the spear-wielding man, so it also revealed its true form, its multiple heads alternately spewing poisonous smoke and flames while its sheer size pressed the opponent.

In the midst of the fight, it suddenly let out a fierce roar toward the opposite side, employing a sound‑wave attack and a soul‑shaking wave that battered the spear-wielding man, causing his mouth and nose to bleed, his mind to daze, leaving him only to take hits.

Only the Clone Puppet fought with ease, sparring with the staff-wielding man to practice swordsmanship. Its two demon blades could have clashed head‑on with the black iron staff, but it deliberately avoided the staff, training a nimble dual‑blade technique.

Among the five opponents, the most astonished was the Golden Dragon. Long Nv not only possessed abundant True Essence but also employed the Wild Dragon Tactic, fighting increasingly ferociously until she was finally beating the Golden Dragon.

Two true dragons roared angrily in the sky one after another—one was hurt by the blows, the other was enjoying the fight.

Over at Ye Liuyun's side, the fight was on and off; within moments he had already shattered the woman's five treasures, then paused, waiting for her to retrieve more treasures.

The woman also realized that, despite Ye Liuyun's lowest realm, none of her treasures could block a single strike from him; pulling them out again was futile. She was utterly defeated before Ye Liuyun.

If Ye Liuyun truly wanted to bully her, he might even be able to cleave her Dragon‑Slaying Blade.

It was only then that the five opponents realized how strong those they had previously underestimated truly were.

"Stop, stop!"

At that moment, the young man wielding the black iron staff suddenly called off the battle.

Everyone else also halted, and even Long Nv did not strike again. She now had the Wild Dragon Tactic well under control.

Moreover, her recent fight was not merely raw Wild Dragon instinct; she also employed some Divine Core and ruby power, so after stopping, though she still seemed a bit weak, the problem was not serious...

In contrast, the Golden Dragon was now drenched in blood, its gaze at Long Nv filled with terror.

Immediately, the Golden Dragon let out a low, muffled roar toward Long Nv.

What Ye Liuyun heard was: "Where on earth did you come from?"

"I come from the Mortal Realm!" Long Nv would not lie.

"What kind of people are you?" the sword-wielding man asked Ye Liuyun at that moment.

He was also very curious about the Monster Beasts beside Ye Liuyun, unable to guess Ye Liuyun's identity.

But he could be certain these fiends were definitely not locals from the East; if a local could cross two realms to challenge them, they'd already be famous.

The Clone Puppet had already retreated to Ye Liuyun's side, and Lei Ming and the Nine-Head Demon Dragon both resumed human form, standing on Ye Liuyun's two flanks.

Thus, he chatted with Ye Liuyun while on the other side Long Nv and the Golden Dragon conversed in dragon language.

"Do you have Ancient Dragon Pearls? Those are things our Clan Chief values," the Golden Dragon seemed to speak without beating around the bush.

Moreover, he suggested Long Nv visit the Dragon Clan. He had heard Long Nv say that within Ye Liuyun's Space World there exists an entire Dragon Clan. Though none are Ancestor Dragons, the clan is currently weak, and if those dragons could return, it would be of great significance for the clan's revival.

As for the bloodline issue, the Golden Dragon thought it wasn't a big problem; their clan still holds plenty of Ancestor Dragon essence that can be gradually refined.

Ye Liuyun, listening to the Golden Dragon and Long Nv's conversation, also followed their words to explain to those few people.

"We come from the Mortal Realm, hoping to take them to see the Dragon Clan; we happened to pass by here."

The others were also surprised: "Mortal Realm? You have people and Monster Beasts this strong?"

Both sides chatted a while longer, and Ye Liuyun also learned about their circumstances.

The woman who fought him, named Xiāo Qíng, is a Mercenary who became famous in the East for having slain a dragon.

The sword-wielding man is Shào Dōnglái. What he said earlier was true; the three planets blocking the Dragon Clan all belong to the Shào family, and this place is indeed the Xingkong Restricted Zone.

Originally, the God King and the Dragon Clan had an agreement, fearing Martial Cultivators of the Human Race would harass the Dragon Clan, so they sealed off this area. Yet the Human Race couldn't enter, nor could the Dragon Clan exit, effectively sealing the Dragon Clan inside as well.

Over time, the seal became merely formal and no one took it seriously. Thus the Dragon Clan and some local youths often visited each other, which is why Shào Dōnglái knows the Golden Dragon.

The spear-wielding man is Fù Yúntáng, a scion of a major local power who has known Shào Dōnglái for a long time.

The man wielding the black iron staff is Jīn Biāo, a lone cultivator from the Outer Region, whose strength has nonetheless earned recognition from these people.

And that Golden Dragon is the Dragon Clan's young Crown Prince, named Wan Xinghai.

They met here today because they knew each other and wanted to test whether a few of them working together could break Wan Xinghai's Physical Body defense.

After finishing their communication, Long Nv and the Golden Dragon both assumed human form and returned to their respective teams.

"Ouch, it hurts like death; that woman hits too hard! Donglai, we got beaten on your territory; you owe us a good meal to recover, right?" Wan Xinghai gritted his teeth, clutching his waist, and shouted at Shào Dōnglái.

"Ha ha, seeing your big reptile get beaten so badly makes me very happy; I'll treat you to a meal today!"

Shào Dōnglái said, then asked Ye Liuyun and the others: "Want to join us? We might as well become acquaintances through battle. You all have decent skills; we can exchange more in the future!"

"Let's go together; this kid is foolish but rich, you'd regret not treating him to a meal!" Wan Xinghai also invited Ye Liuyun and his group.

Jīn Biāo, Fù Yúntáng, and Xiāo Qíng all looked toward Ye Liuyun and the others with anticipation.

Shào Dōnglái and his companions were actually the five strongest young people in the area; ordinary folks never gave them a second glance. Yet they hadn't expected to be beaten by Ye Liuyun and others whose realms were even lower, so they sincerely admired their strength.
