Chapter 501: Chapter 500: Who Dares to Bully My Brother?
Wang Yan and the others ventured into the mountain valley, and no one expected that the enemies they would encounter would grow increasingly powerful.
Initially, it was merely Xiahou Que and Toyota Shouzou, akin to jesters, but later the appearance of Snake Soul proved to be just a minor inconvenience for Wang Yan.
However, the emergence of the Dwarf posed a formidable challenge, difficult to overcome, yet Wang Yan, with daring and intelligence beyond ordinary, severely injured the Dwarf.
Though Wang Yan himself was gravely wounded, the promise of slaying the Dwarf and achieving ultimate victory was near at hand.
Unexpectedly, it led to the appearance of the Black Dragon.
Needless to say, the Black Dragon possessed formidable cultivation, far surpassing the Dwarf, having attained the Demon Emperor Great Perfection. Even if the Black Dragon’s cultivation was akin to that of the Dwarf, none present could ever hope to escape from the Black Dragon’s presence.
As the Black Dragon’s hand reached out, Wang Yan sat on the ground, unable to stand due to his injuries, while Beiming Xue exerted all her efforts to heal Wang Yan, fearing that any pause would result in Wang Yan’s death from severe injury.
Moreover, Beiming Xue had underestimated this battle, coupled with Yan’s prior overexertion, necessitating rest, hence leaving Yan at home and not bringing him along.
At this moment, only Ma Jun and Ouyang Feiting remained battle-ready.
Ma Jun’s body shimmered, suddenly transforming into two, charging toward the Black Dragon from the left and right, while Ouyang Feiting raised her hand, revealing a red Flame Bow. With a flick, the Cloud-Piercing Rocket soared towards the Black Dragon.
To the actions of both, the Black Dragon appeared as if he hadn’t noticed, his right hand still rising, slowly reaching to grab Wang Yan.
Just then, the Cloud-Piercing Rocket flew swiftly to the Black Dragon’s front, its immense power previously witnessed, raising everyone’s hopes of seeing this arrow heavily injure the Black Dragon.
Much to their surprise, the Black Dragon’s extended right hand merely lightly grasped forward, effortlessly catching the mighty arrow.
Then, the Black Dragon clenched his fist, and the flames of the Cloud-Piercing Rocket instantly extinguished.
The Black Dragon released his hand, revealing no trace of the Cloud-Piercing Rocket, only a wisp of blue smoke slowly drifting into the air, vanishing from sight.
Seeing the Black Dragon easily neutralize her most potent arrow, Ouyang Feiting was stunned.
Now, all hopes were pinned on Ma Jun.
At this moment, two dark shadows darted to the sides of the Black Dragon, revealing glimpses of Ma Jun’s figure.
Ma Jun raised his hands, aiming to grab the sides of the Black Dragon’s head.
Yet just as Ma Jun’s hands neared within an inch of the Black Dragon, both Ma Jun figures let out muffled groans, akin to runners crashing into a mountain, rebounding heavily to the ground.
The Black Dragon appeared entirely unfazed.
Despite exerting their utmost in the attacks, they failed to hinder the Black Dragon in the slightest, and the Black Dragon’s right hand continued to reach for Wang Yan and others, nearing them with every second.
When his hand was still several meters away, Wang Yan and the others felt a constricting pressure, akin to invisible ropes tightening around them, suffocatingly close.
Wang Yan, seated, attempted to struggle up but was severely injured and had been hit by the black wind’s strike. The Power of Demon Patterns within him dashed about erratically, nearly out of control.
The deadly strike of the Black Dragon loomed, with Ouyang Feiting being the first to bear the brunt, while Wang Yan had no means left.
In this critical moment, a voice suddenly shouted in anger from the sky, followed by a figure descending from above, soaring over the mountain, past Lin Hai and others, landing like a large bird before Ouyang Feiting. With a raised hand, this person struck at the Black Dragon’s hand.
With a sharp “啪” sound, the Black Dragon’s hand was instantly knocked aside, and the oppressive force on Wang Yan and others abruptly disappeared.
Surviving narrowly, Ouyang Feiting quickly looked up to see before her a beautiful young lady in her thirties.
Ouyang Feiting, delighted, exclaimed, “Master.”
The beautiful young lady turned her head, smiled faintly at Ouyang Feiting, and said, “Feiting, don’t be afraid. Your master will defend you.”
It turns out that the one arriving in crisis to rescue everyone was Ouyang Feiting’s mentor, Ouyang Qiu.
Seeing it was Ouyang Qiu, the Black Dragon was first stunned, then sneered coldly, saying, “I wondered who it was, turns out old friends have arrived.”
Ouyang Qiu glared and said, “Don’t pretend you’re close with me; who says I’m your old friend.”
Witnessing Ouyang Qiu’s brusqueness toward the Black Dragon, Xiahou Que and others couldn’t help but change their expressions, angrily rebuking, “How dare you speak to Lord Black Dragon like that.”
However, seeing Ouyang Qiu, the Dwarf displayed a hint of fear on his face.
Yet the Black Dragon, unconcerned by Ouyang Qiu’s insolence, merely chuckled softly, saying, “Ouyang Qiu, you and I have known each other not just for a year. You know well you can’t defeat me. But, for your sake, you may take your disciple, yet the two behind must stay.”
Of course, the two behind Black Dragon referred to Wang Yan and Beiming Xue.
Ouyang Qiu, upon hearing, coldly smiled, saying, “Even if I don’t intervene, the two behind won’t go with you.”
Black Dragon coldly replied, “When I, the Black Dragon, wish to take someone away, who could stop me? These two, I’m determined to take today.”
As Black Dragon finished speaking, a conceited woman’s voice echoed from the sky, “Black Dragon, you think I’m nonexistent?”
Then, another figure leapt over the mountaintop, again flying over Lin Hai and others, landing beside Beiming Xue.
Upon landing, this person raised a hand, pressing against Beiming Xue’s back.
At this moment, Beiming Xue, having nearly exhausted her Power of Demon Patterns while treating Wang Yan, appeared very pale. Yet with this touch, her pallor immediately regained some color.
Beiming Xue looked up, glimpsed the person behind, and, with a faint hint of joy on her pale face, weakly called out, “Master.”
The person nodded, saying, “Don’t speak; let me restore your cultivation first.”
The one arriving was Beiming Xue’s mentor, Zhang Kai.
Seeing Zhang Kai appear, Black Dragon’s face changed again, exclaiming, “So it’s you!”
However, the Black Dragon continued coldly, “Though you two possess Demon Emperor cultivation, against me, you can’t gain an upper hand. Plus, with the Dwarf aiding me, there’s no hope of victory for you. Let’s discuss, you may take the two girls, but Wang Yan must stay.”
At this moment, a lazy voice drifted from behind the mountain, saying, “Who’s daring to trouble my brother?”
