âImperial Mark, Heaven Crushing Black Dragon!â
Squinting, Li Jingtian finished making signs and shouted. With a flash of golden, a huge black dragon coiled around an equally large seal high in the sky.
Li Jingtian pointed and with a draconic roar, the sea smashed towards the muscled guy. The space around it shook and warped from its power.
The muscled guy widened at its incredible power and raised a growing arm.
Bam!
The arm of a peak Emperor dragon slammed into the martial fanatic Li Jingtian, sending shockwaves on impact, yet none faltered back. The space was the one taking the brunt of their relentless power, with constant ripples flashing out.
The muscled guyâs eye twitched in shock.
It amazed him how Li Jingtian had the strength to match his. It was said a humanâs Imperial Mark was unstoppable, just like a spiritual beastâs tough body.
He, however, was a dragon and ending a fight with a human in a draw would only bring him disgrace.
The muscled guyâs face turned red.
Crack!
His body shook and his eyes grew bigger as sweat dripped down. He strained as he pushed harder and sent the mark back. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Li Jingtian shuddered and coughed blood, âYou win this round, but the next one is mine!â
âHumph, youâre not bad yourself. Itâs the first time a human of equal level broke my arm.â
He looked at his shaking right arm and said, âToo bad thereâs no second round. I can still fight even with a broken arm, but youâve suffered a heavier wound weakening your Imperial Mark and dooming your fate. With you gone, the Luo clan will have no expert defending it, ha-ha-ha.â
Li Jingtian gave him a dumb look and flew down.
[Iâm not the Luo clanâs true defender. I just dropped by for a spar and not to die. Besides, thereâre plenty of others that can clobber you. Thereâs just the matter of making sure those freaks donât kill you so I can have my fill sparring with you.]
Li Jingtian turned to Qiu Yanhai, âYour turn.â
âOld Li, whatâs up with going all out in a spar? Itâs not about your wounds, but breaking his arm. Wonât my spar be one-sided, without going all out even?â
âStop with the bragging. One hand is enough for him to take you on. Now go!â Li Jingtian sighed.
The muscled guy was baffled.
[Thereâs another one stronger around? The Luo clan must be something else to have two of peak Emperors.]
The muscled guy couldnât believe his ears, only accepting it when Qiu Yanhai flew before him.
Qiu Yanhai smiled and bowed, âAfter you.â
âHumph, you must be dreaming thinking you can beat me with two peak Emperors. Your only chance is to come at me together, instead of dying by challenging me alone.â
The muscled guy charged. It was clear the possibility of having both peak Emperors ganging up on him had him on edge. He wanted to end this fast.
It really was a quick spar.
Three minutes later, Qiu Yanhai huffed with a pale face and was bleeding from the mouth. He saluted, âDragons are indeed strong. I lost.â
The muscled guyâs face twitched, downcast as he stared at his singed palm.
[Screw your loss! Heâs as strong as the first guy. Now my other arm is ruined. What the hell is up with the Luo clan? How did they get two experts at the level of Eight Emperors?]
[At least there isnât a third one showing upâ¦]
âHey, whoâs next?â
Qiu Yanhaiâs question had his heart shivering.
Whoosh~
A figure in white flashed over, Xue Qingjian. She glanced at his ruined hands and snapped at Qiu Yanhai, âWasnât this a spar? Why go all out like Old Li? How am I to train against a handicapped adversary? I canât gauge my Imperial Mark like this.â
âSorry, honey, it was in the heat of the moment, he-he-heâ¦â Qiu Yanhai gave a goony smile.
[Train? Youâre using me for a punching bag?]
The muscled guy noticed Xue Qingjian at peak Emperor Stage and cried out, âJust how many Emperors do you have?â
âAll of them here.â
Xue Qingjian pointed at the group below and they all flew up, with dozens at peak power among the hundreds.
The dreadful maelstrom of auras had the muscled guyâs face twitching.
[Curses! Damn fakers, what are you doing siding with the Eight Emperors at your level? You could just thrash them and take everything!]
[Thatâs why you challenged us, you have the power. But weâve come prepared and wonât fail.]
The muscled guy roared.
The people started and saw his smug smile, âHumph, no matter how many you are, youâll all die. I didnât come alone. Thereâs two dozen peak experts beside the three elders. Each of them is as strong as me. None of you will survive this!â
âWhat?â The group shouted.
The muscled man smirked, âScared?â
âAwesome! More sparring partners, ha-ha-haâ¦â
The group cheered in excitement and thrill of battle.
The muscled guy was dumbstruck, âHey, have you lost it? Our elders are Saints! We also have two dozen peak Emperors! Whatâs there to laugh about?â
âWeâre so excited since you came right as we became Emperors to test ourselves, ha-ha-haâ¦â
Murong Lie sighed, âWe thought of taking you with us to spar since youâre a peak Emperor Stage dragon, since dragons are far stronger than humans and should meet our standards. Alas, look how you ended up after just two bouts; youâre no training material at all. To test ourselves, we need Saints. Of course weâd be excited with your elders coming over.â
âBut how do we split them? Thereâs just three of them.â Wine Sword Immortal posed a very good question.
Danqing Shen said, âDragon Saints canât be normal. Weâll have to go three or four against one, so thereâs no need to take turns.â
The Sword Kings nodded.
âLeave the strongest to me for a while.â
The group turned to find Sword Child there as well, âIâm dadâs sword and reached peak Emperor Stage thanks to his inspiration. A couple of dragon Saints arenât a problem to me. Just leave them to me when you find it too tough to go on.â
Their eyes twitched and gave him a nasty look, âWe wonât give you the chance. Young master can just watch from the sidelines.â
âStubborn fools.â Sword Child turned his head away.
The muscled guy had a dumb stare.
[Are these guys human? We came to destroy them yet they take us for training partners? Are they that strong?]
The muscled guyâs beliefs crumbled then and there.
[Whatâs wrong with todayâs generation? Since when did humans become stronger than dragons?]
Whoosh~
Dozens of figures appeared, with the three dragon elders in the lead.
Elder Bai Long said, âWhat happened? Did you meet an expert and call for help?â
The muscle guyâs lip shook, raising his ruined arms and pointed at the hundreds of people in front.
The elders gasped.
[Why are there so many Emperors? Itâs like an Eight Emperorsâ faction.]
[No, not even they have so many peak Emperors.]
Sss~
The elders shuddered, their spine tingling under the gaze of ten people locking onto them like prey.
[What did we get ourselves into?]
[Wait.]
[Since when did humans look at dragons like that? Weâre dragon Saints tooâ¦]
