443: The three great heroes, enraged

At this moment, those heaven's pride ranking experts who were attacking the Big Yellow Dog, save for those already eliminated, all had lingering shock on their faces.

They had initially believed victory was assured, as with so many heaven's pride ranking experts attacking like a tide, even top-ranked prodigies would have to retreat and dare not clash head-on.

Yet, this seemingly mischievous and annoying Big Yellow Dog performed with ease, not even suffering the slightest injury.

This terrifying combat power was likely on par with the three prodigies in the top three of the heaven's pride ranking.

The top three of the heaven's pride ranking had remained unchanged since they first ascended the ranking, a glimpse of which revealed their immense strength.

What kind of strength must these three possess to stand firm and firmly occupy the top three positions?

Rumor had it that these three heaven's pride ranking experts came from the three most formidable forces in the Myriad Immortals Court, the very forces led by the masters of the three major factions in the sky.

Thinking of this, many people subconsciously looked towards the three figures standing silently in the distance, undisturbed by anyone.

These three were a wild young man with a full head of red hair, clad in a crimson battle robe, with an unhidden arrogance in his brows.

Another wore azure battle armor, carried a bronze battle spear on his back, and was enveloped in wisps of terrifying battle intent.

And the last one wore a simple white robe, with a calm expression, deep eyes, and a sword scabbard on his back, with three long swords resting quietly within it.

These were the top three of the heaven's pride ranking: Jian Feiyang, Duan Qingfeng, and Xiao Lie!

At this moment, these three were also drawn to the Big Yellow Dog's performance, each reacting differently.

Xiao Lie, the red-haired youth, merely showed surprise for a moment before returning to his arrogant demeanor, as if this terrifying display didn't faze him much.

The youth in azure battle armor, Duan Qingfeng, showed a hint of battle intent in his eyes, clearly a battle fanatic.

And Jian Feiyang remained expressionless from beginning to end, appearing the most composed among the three, though upon closer thought, it was quite normal.

He had dominated the ranking for many years, with no one able to shake his position, and over time, he had developed an invincible aura.

Seeing this, the Big Yellow Dog found it somewhat uninteresting, then shook his head, not intending to get too entangled, and quickly swept away the many heaven's pride ranking experts in the arena.

Boom.

The next moment, his dog body trembled, and waves of even more terrifying aura swept across the arena, causing space to tremble violently.

Swish, swish, swish.

His figure flickered continuously, each impact accompanied by a scream, and in just a few breaths, he had completely eliminated all thirty-odd figures surrounding him.

After doing this, he patted his paws, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

This immediately cleared out many people from the arena; now only about twenty to thirty remained.

However, those who could persist until now were all strong individuals; the weaker cultivators had almost all been eliminated earlier.

Aside from the three abnormal individuals in the top three of the heaven's pride ranking, everyone else stared gravely at the Big Yellow Dog, who was displaying his might.

If it was shock before, now it could be called fear; in their eyes, the Big Yellow Dog was not much weaker than the three great heaven's pride ranking experts and had the qualifications to compete for the top three in this competition.

Now, a dilemma lay before them: should they continue to jointly target the Big Yellow Dog, or wait and see, letting the latter confront the three abnormal individuals and fish in troubled waters.

But just as everyone fell into silence, Xiao Lie, clad in the crimson battle robe, suddenly made a move; a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his arrogant face as he declared:

"From now on, irrelevant people can scram!"

These words were incredibly arrogant and domineering, immediately enraging the others, but due to the opponent's strength and background, no one dared to refute him.

In Xiao Lie's view, there was no need to contend for the top three positions; only he, Duan Qingfeng, and Jian Feiyang had that qualification.

The reason he spoke like this was naturally because he couldn't hold back and wanted to directly decide the ultimate top spot with the other two.

"Oh!"

"I almost forgot, there's also you. Although you have some skill, that's all it is. Scram together!"

Xiao Lie turned to look at the Big Yellow Dog and said again.

???

Hearing this, the Big Yellow Dog was clearly a bit stunned, not expecting someone to be even more arrogant than him, and asked in surprise, "Red-haired brat, are you talking to Dog Master?"

"Hmph, asking the obvious. I'm talking about you. I'll give you three breaths of time. If you don't scram on your own, I'll send you off!"

Xiao Lie frowned, looking very displeased and unbelievably arrogant.

"Little Star, this little bastard is talking to me, right?"

The Big Yellow Dog confirmed with Xing Yichen beside him.

The latter was also astonished by Xiao Lie's arrogance and nodded solemnly.

"Holy crap, kid, what are you being arrogant for? Dog Master hates it most when someone is more arrogant than him. Come out for a one-on-one!"

The Big Yellow Dog was furious, one paw on his hip, the other pointing at the now gloomy Xiao Lie, who had recovered from the insult.

"Very good, since you refuse a toast and prefer a forfeit, then this young master will grant your wish!"

Xiao Lie finished speaking, his entire body's blood qi surged into the sky, terrifying beyond compare, and that aura actually exceeded the scope of an Early-stage Immortal Emperor.

Only then did the surrounding heaven's pride ranking experts realize why the other party was so arrogant; it turned out he had such a backing, no wonder he wanted to persuade everyone to retreat with a single word.

Boom.

Xiao Lie was surrounded by terrifying bloody red light, his aura surging, and he suddenly transformed into an afterimage, disappearing from his original spot.

The next moment, he directly appeared above the Big Yellow Dog's head, splayed his five fingers, and fiercely grabbed towards the latter.

Crack.

The originally stable space actually made a cracking sound at this moment, showing the formidable power of this strike.

Scram!

How could the Big Yellow Dog let the other party have his way? Wanting to ride on his head and defecate, this was an intolerable matter.

Immediately, his right paw swung heavily from bottom to top, colliding with the opponent's palm, emitting an earth-shattering roar.

Both figures retreated rapidly, but the Big Yellow Dog clearly suffered a disadvantage, retreating several tens of feet before stabilizing his figure.

Xiao Lie, however, only retreated a dozen or so feet before firmly rooting himself in the void, holding a certain advantage.

"You do have some skill, but your cultivation is not as high as mine, so you're ultimately just asking for trouble!"

Xiao Lie was also somewhat surprised; although he had witnessed the opponent's previous performance, he was indeed very powerful in the Early-stage Immortal Emperor, ranking among the top tier.

But he was a full minor realm higher than the opponent, so even if the opponent's combat power was stronger, there was only one path: defeat.

"Red-haired brat, what are you so proud of? Your realm is higher than mine, but your combat power isn't that great. Are you a fraud?"

The Big Yellow Dog shook his paw; the previous blow had made him a bit sore. His combat power was enough to fight across realms, but that also depended on the opponent.

The opponent also had outstanding combat power within the same realm; defeating him was no simple matter.

But who was he? How could he give the other party a chance to be proud? He directly mocked him with a sarcastic tone.

"You're courting death! Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Xiao Lie's face turned black upon hearing this; he had never hated a person, no, a dog, as much as he did at this moment.

Then, after a furious roar, he suddenly erupted, launching an attack. The terrifying might caused many of the surrounding heaven's pride ranking experts to tremble, feeling an indescribable pressure, and they all retreated.
