The roar shook the earth, making everything tremble.
As Ao Yuan's body grew and transformed into a colossal figure, an oppressive aura swept outwards from him.
Everyone's expression shifted slightly, their eyes instantly filling with solemnity.
They had never expected this.
Despite both being in the Bone Tempering realm, why was Ao Yuan's oppressive aura so strong!
His immense power instilled an unprecedented sense of suffocation.
This defied all reason.
At this moment,
the warrior from the Beautiful Country took a deep breath, his face extremely grave as he commanded, "Ao Yuan's strength is not something any one of us can face alone."
"We will attack together!"
"Agreed!"
The Beautiful Country warrior's words were met with widespread assent.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking.
He suddenly realized Ao Yuan had already moved first.
He opened his mouth, and a massive ball of scorching Dragon Flame erupted forth.
Boom boom boom!
With boundless ferocity, the intense heat instantly surged towards them.
"What the hell!"
Such dishonorable tactics!
Everyone present felt a wave of immense danger wash over them, and they immediately unleashed their ultimate life-saving techniques.
Those who were further away from Ao Yuan narrowly managed to dodge.
But the Beautiful Country warrior, standing at the forefront, was in a dire situation.
He was too close to Ao Yuan, and his speed was insufficient to evade the attack.
"Golden Light Shield!"
Seeing he couldn't dodge, the Beautiful Country warrior's eyes widened, and he immediately produced an ancient formation disk from his embrace.
Hum hum hum!
The formation disk glowed, and a golden light rose from it, enveloping the Beautiful Country warrior.
This was a defensive treasure he had acquired in a small world, capable of withstanding attacks from peak Bone Tempering realm cultivators.
However... could it withstand Ao Yuan's assault?
Watching the approaching Dragon Flame, the Beautiful Country warrior swallowed.
It wasn't that his Golden Light Shield lacked confidence, but the terrifying display of Ao Yuan's power moments ago was still vivid in his mind.
The other national warriors, who had managed to evade, secretly shook their heads, their gazes towards the Beautiful Country warrior tinged with pity.
And in that fleeting moment.
The Dragon Flame surged forward, making intimate contact with the Golden Light Shield protecting the Beautiful Country warrior.
An terrifying heat erupted instantly, causing the Golden Light Shield in front of the Beautiful Country warrior to glow a fiery red.
Crack.
The Golden Light Shield let out a crisp sound. Seeing the cracks on the shield and feeling the searing heat penetrating it, the Beautiful Country warrior's face turned pale.
His eyes were filled with unwillingness.
This Golden Light Shield could withstand peak Bone Tempering attacks, how could it not even block an early Bone Tempering cultivator like Ao Yuan?
Was Ao Yuan truly that powerful? Was he truly invincible?
Fortunately, besides the cracks, the Golden Light Shield remained largely intact.
Following that, the formation disk pulsed, emitting a wave of golden light that perfectly repaired the cracks.
"It can block it!"
The Beautiful Country warrior burst with unconcealed excitement.
It wasn't that he thought his Golden Light Shield was particularly good.
Rather, this incident showed that Ao Yuan's strength was not as immense as they had imagined.
At the early Bone Tempering stage, even if an individual couldn't withstand Ao Yuan, if everyone combined their strength, the outcome might be different.
"As expected of the Beautiful Country, to possess such a treasure!"
Seeing the Beautiful Country warrior block Ao Yuan's attack with the Golden Light Shield, the expressions of the others soured.
They were angry that the Beautiful Country warrior had such a powerful item but hadn't used it earlier.
If he had used it before, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.
As if noticing the gazes of the others, the Beautiful Country warrior's heart clenched.
Then he shouted loudly, "With a great enemy before us, our priority is to deal with Ao Yuan."
"We can discuss any subsequent issues later!"
With this loud declaration, the warriors from other countries nodded in agreement. They understood the Beautiful Country warrior was speaking the truth.
But facing Ao Yuan directly was clearly out of the question for them.
After nodding, the warriors from various countries quickly retreated behind the Beautiful Country warrior.
"Let's all hide together, otherwise we'll likely be annihilated in an instant."
"Come, step aside a bit, let's hide together."
"I was really startled when I saw the Dragon Flame just now."
"But now I realize, we can still deal with him."
...
Seeing himself crowded by people behind him, the Beautiful Country warrior felt like cursing, why were these people so afraid of death!
But in the end, he said nothing, allowing them to crowd in.
And opposite them, Ao Yuan looked at the Golden Light Shield before him and pointed a claw at it, asking curiously, "You intend to stop me with just this?"
"Hmph! If you can break it, then do so!"
"If you can't break it, what are you bragging about!"
"Right, right, damn it, here he comes!"
As everyone was speaking, they saw Ao Yuan charge forward.
The dragon claws he raised shone brilliantly, extremely dazzling.
"Ouch!"
Seeing Ao Yuan charging towards them, everyone relaxed, completely disregarding Ao Yuan's attack.
In their opinion, with the Golden Light Shield blocking, it was impossible for Ao Yuan to break through.
"Brothers, those with ranged abilities, quickly use your long-range attacks."
"Let's seize this opportunity to kill Ao Yuan!"
The Beautiful Country warrior's words resonated with everyone.
Indeed, they believed Ao Yuan couldn't break the Golden Light Shield, but not a single person doubted his strength.
"Ao Yuan, witness my sword!"
Miyamoto Wu raised his remaining hand, holding his long sword aloft, his eyes fixed ferociously on Ao Yuan.
Then, with a roar, his entire aura surged.
The long sword in his hand also shone with streaks of light.
"Slash!"
Miyamoto Wu swung his sword down, his entire aura rushing towards Ao Yuan like a tsunami.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
After unleashing this strike, Miyamoto Wu bent over slightly, panting heavily. It was clear this attack had not been easy for him.
However, his gaze towards Ao Yuan was filled with ferocity.
Ao Yuan's expression remained impassive.
He didn't even bother to defend, letting the sword light strike down.
"Idiot!"
Miyamoto Wu's face turned ashen with anger. Was Ao Yuan too arrogant?
He knew he had used his full strength in this attack.
When he was at the peak Bone Tempering realm, he had always believed this single strike was enough to kill a Foundation Establishment realm expert!
Swish swish swish!
At this moment, the terrifying sword light descended, striking Ao Yuan's body.
"Go to..."
Before Miyamoto Wu could finish speaking, his eyes widened dramatically, as if he had seen a ghost.
He saw that as the powerful sword light struck Ao Yuan's body.
The sword light collided with his scales, emitting a burst of sparks.
And then...
there was no then.
"Is this kind of attack just tickling me?" Ao Yuan sneered up at Miyamoto Wu.
"Idiot!" Miyamoto Wu's face turned ashen, and he was about to curse.
But upon seeing Ao Yuan charging towards him, his legs went weak, and he was terrified.
He repeatedly shouted, "Where are the others? Quickly, quickly, attack me together!"
