Chapter 748: Four Earth Dragons

Proofreader: Papatonks

“Elders, thank you…”

Luo Yunhai’s eyes shone and laughed. He cupped his hands but the sages shouted, “Elder Li, don’t just stand there, get them out of there!”

Whoosh~

A black figure flashed and before the trio could react, a thick hand grabbed their shoulders and got them out.

It was no other than Li Jingtian.

“Elder Li…” Li Jingtian looked stunned, but seeing his heavy look, he did not finish.

He followed Li Jingtian’s gaze to see the sages shake then cough blood while their domain soul instantly collapsed.

Roar~!

The world shook as four dragons roamed above the Mystical Heaven Sect. They broke out of the domain and circled around before vanishing as they returned to the four elders. 

While the spinning circle, the yellow dragon, was still there and just as powerful. The four elders sitting in the air did not show any sign of disturbance.

The sages looked at the four and revealed fear on their faces.

“Ha-ha-ha, I never knew they had people that can use such a domain soul. It’s our first time seeing such a soul; such a rarity.”

One elder chuckled, “A shame you’re too weak. You’ve been taxed before attacking us and were injured. Or you might have made us get serious.”

Another elder nodded, “This soul domain sure is fantastic. Using yin and yang to turn the world around. An average cultivator would’ve had no way to cope with it. However, this domain’s weakness is glaring. It’s great for wearing the enemy out, but also leaving him with enough time to deal with it.”

The other three nodded, discussing things as if the sages weren’t even in their radar.

“If not for this, I would’ve actually wanted to see what they looked like.”

“Humph, fogies sure know how to talk. So you’re saying we’re not worth a glance from you, is that it?”

However, following the shout of anger at the four, a gaudy white light shot for them, “Why don’t you old freaks look at this then?”

Whoosh!

Like an arrow from above, a searing heat approached the four old guys.

Boom!

Once the glaring light was gone, the four’s position became a white ball of light, making the air shimmer from the heat.

Qiu Yanhai and Xue Qingjian panted as they looked over as grave as before. They knew the four were by no means dead even from the Life and Death Art they just used. But when the light scattered, the couple still gasped in shock, “H-how can this be!”

The elders were still spinning around, relaxed as ever. Their eyes were closed still, their mouths perked in a mocking smile. 

The yellow dragon above was still circling, unphased. 

The couple trembled all over, their hearts sinking.

They had been hurt before they attacked just now but that Life and Death Art was a strike backed by all their power. Even so, it couldn’t even scratch them, nor make them budge. 

To the four elders, the couple was not even worth a look.

Everyone felt terror at this moment. They were just no match for them. 

Zhuo Fan looked over and frowned, “Four earth dragon souls?”

“That’s precisely it!” Sect Leader Xuan laughed, “Didn’t I tell you? While you don’t know of western lands’ sects’ powers, you at least should know of the Demon Scheming Sect’ High Venerable.”

Zhuo Fan looked long at him and nodded. “I heard of him but never saw him.”

“Ha-ha-ha, then allow me to tell you. In the western lands, we are known as Tianyu’s three guardian sects, with each sect their own guardians.”

Sect Leader Xuan spoke with pride, “One Sword Five Dragons is the name our guardians go by.”

“What? You mean to say…”

Han Qianying cried out in disbelief. “I’ve always thought it to be just a rumor. But it’s real? Then the four venerables are them?”

Dan’er asked from the side, “Senior sister, what are you talking about? Why don’t I know this?”

“You haven’t been in the sect for long so of course you don’t know.” High Venerable shook her head, “Some elders of the sects know that our sect has four great venerables defending our home, Heavenly Cycle Elders. Demon Scheming Sect’s elusive Sacred Dragon is equally renowned. But with how much time has passed and they didn’t show themselves, everyone stopped believing this rumor…”

High Venerable turned to the four sitting elders with fear and despair, “If they come out, not even the Demon Scheming Sect’s entire force can beat them. Even with the High Venerable, we still won’t win.”

“Ha-ha-ha, exactly. They are truly Mystical Heaven Sect’s elders, knowing when to gauge the situation.”

Sect Leader Xuan laughed, “One Sword Five Dragons, Tianyu’s three guardian sects, is made of Heavenly Sword, guarding Heaven Trailing Sect. Of the five dragons, four of them are Wood Dragon, Fire Dragon, Ice Dragon, Metal Dragon, the four elders in our sect. This leaves the Demon Scheming Sect’s only High Venerable, Hidden Dragon. Although he is said to be the strongest of the five dragons, how can one defeat a team of four? Thinking back when he with the Impermanence Five attacked the Heavenly Cycle Elders, they were defeated. So even if he shows up, we have nothing to fear!”

Zhuo Fan squinted as he spoke heavily, “So these four great experts that were always in hiding finally came out.”

“Humph, our four venerables have been in seclusion for years and years, readying to enter Soul Harmony Stage. But with your assault, they had no choice but to come.”

Sect Leader Xuan snarked, “Zhuo Fan, you and your men will die here, ha-ha-ha…”

Xuan Shaoyu was bouncing from joy. “Zhuo Fan, a vile fiend like you dared to attack a righteous sect and now you see the power we have, ha-ha-ha…”

Seeing the father and sun so full of themselves. Zhuo Fan stayed silent. 

[My head is still sitting on my shoulder. Aren’t you two jumping the gun a little?]

He then turned an eyebrow at the four old guys. 

[They sure are strong. Guess these two aren’t that full of it either.]

“Agh~!”

Cries resounded after Li Jingtian saved the trio. Luo clan’s Ethereal Stage experts arrived there as well. Thirty six people surrounded the four.

However, the four made a sign and the dragon roared. As they spun around in a circle, dragons came out of them and then made a round trip back. 

Each time it did, a dragon soul would always take at least a victim. The powerful earth dragon soul along with the might of this combination made these Ethereal Stage experts feel like entering hell. 

They couldn’t even get near the circle, ending up dead before they could do anything. 

Everyone was shocked, even Demon Scheming Sect’s oldies, Knowing the four were the High Venerables and also known as the four dragons, they were struck with fear.

[Since High Venerable can’t beat them, we’re only going there to die!]

Mystical Heaven Sect’s group came out from their disadvantage with high morale. Their support was here.

“I never knew these old devils weren’t just rumors. Four earth dragon souls and even forming a Heaven Cycle Array… How to cope with it?”

Han Qianying sighed. She looked at Kui Lang protecting her, “Kui Lang, it seems we’ll only be together for a brief moment.”

OLo!¹ao

Kui Lang held her hand, “With you by my side, a moment is enough.”

Han Qianying gave a bright smile and nodded.

The onlookers were gratified but also sad. The two’s feelings never changed after all these years, yet when they reunited, they were about to be separated once more.

Demon Scheming Sect’s defeat meant their deaths.

Sect Leader Xuan’s side snickered.

Zhuo Fan’s eyes were the only ones bright. He took a deep breath.

[I really really didn’t want to do this, but what choice is there…]
