82: Chapter 82 The Great Battle of King Wu

Among the three, Ancestor Wei Xinghe was the strongest, a Four-Star Martial King, while Patriarch Wang Lingyun and Ancestor Ye Rongming were both Three-Star Martial Kings. Now that the three of them were facing the Level 5 Dragon, it mainly depended on Ancestor Wei Xinghe's ability to respond, which was why Patriarch Wang Lingyun had asked Ancestor Wei Xinghe first.

"Humans, you are courting death." Before the three of them could decide whether to attempt to seize Young Master Yuan Ze from Cang Ming's hands, Cang Ming had already struck first.

Cang Ming expanded his Dragon Domain, instantly enveloping the three of them. Finding themselves in darkness, Ancestor Ye Rongming and the others also expanded their own King Domains.

Ancestor Wei Xinghe practiced a fire-type Cultivation Technique, expanding a fiery red Fire Domain around his body. Even while submerged in seawater, it did not extinguish; instead, it burned brighter. Ancestor Ye Rongming and Patriarch Wang Lingyun both practiced water-type Cultivation Techniques, each expanding a pale cyan Water Domain around themselves.

This was a method used by Level 5 powerhouses to materialize their Concept. Within their respective Domains, a Martial King's strength would be maximized while simultaneously suppressing the enemy's strength.

Cang Ming thrashed his body and flew toward the three. With a roar, thousands of Dragons suddenly attacked from all directions, completely separating the three and attempting to defeat them one by one.

"Burning Sea." "Flood." "Prison Cage."

Ancestor Ye Rongming and the others also revealed their methods. Ancestor Wei Xinghe's fire dragons intertwined with Cang Ming's water dragons, annihilating each other. Patriarch Wang Lingyun's water snakes were far more numerous than Cang Ming's water dragons; dozens would tear at a single water dragon, suppressing most of Cang Ming's attacks. From Ancestor Ye Rongming's Water Domain, spherical cages shot out; the moment a water dragon entered one, it was shattered by an invisible force and turned back into seawater.

Cang Ming had appeared behind Ancestor Ye Rongming at some point. He reached out a claw and struck Ancestor Ye Rongming's Water Domain. Ancestor Ye Rongming immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and his Water Domain wavered, showing signs of instability.

"World in the Palm." Ancestor Ye Rongming hurriedly cast a cage, trapping Cang Ming inside a water sphere to buy himself some time to recover.

Cang Ming stared fixedly at Ancestor Ye Rongming. This was the human who had almost snatched Young Master Yuan Ze away just now; he had to make him pay the price.

The cage trapping Cang Ming did not last even a single breath before Cang Ming broke free. With a flick of his dragon tail, he continued to lunge at Ancestor Ye Rongming, but Ancestor Wei Xinghe blocked his path.

Ancestor Wei Xinghe dared not let Ancestor Ye Rongming die through such means. If the distance were far and support failed to arrive in time, that was one thing, but to watch him be killed right in front of him without intervening—Ancestor Wei Xinghe would never escape the Great Wei Ministry of Justice's investigation into dereliction of duty!

Having just seen Ancestor Ye Rongming's Water Domain nearly shattered by Cang Ming's claw, Ancestor Wei Xinghe took the initiative to shrink his Fire Domain to strengthen its defense. Coordinating perfectly with Patriarch Wang Lingyun, who had rushed over, they simultaneously cast a Spell.

"Burning Sea." "Flood."

A fire dragon and a water snake combined, forming a massive water-and-fire dual-attribute python. It flew toward Cang Ming, instantly charging into his Dragon Domain without losing any speed, and struck Cang Ming directly. A flash of spiritual light appeared on Cang Ming's body, consuming and dissipating the python, leaving only a few pitch-black marks on his dragon scales.

"Let's retreat!" Ancestor Wei Xinghe called out to the other two. Their combined ultimate technique couldn't even injure this Level 5 Black Flood Dragon; his Physical Body defense was too strong, and other methods would be futile.

"It really is tough," Patriarch Wang Lingyun sighed.

The Black Flood Dragon was only relying on his formidable Physical Body to dare fight them alone. But if the three wanted to leave, the Black Flood Dragon could not stop them. If the three were pushed to the brink and used their ultimate trump cards, the Black Flood Dragon would also risk falling, though the three would certainly suffer as well.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, Fellow Daoist Wang, wait. It's not that we can't kill this Dragon; we've hit the jackpot today." Ancestor Ye Rongming, however, disagreed with retreating at this moment.

Ancestor Wei Xinghe looked at Ancestor Ye Rongming in surprise. He didn't know who had almost had their Water Domain shattered by the Black Flood Dragon's claw just now; if he hadn't arrived in time, it was uncertain whether Ancestor Ye Rongming would still be breathing!

"Black Flood Dragon, don't hold on any longer. You are already at the end of your rope, aren't you?" A sharp light flashed in Ancestor Ye Rongming's eyes as he continued, "He is injured, and very severely!"

Hearing Ancestor Ye Rongming's reminder, Ancestor Wei Xinghe and Patriarch Wang Lingyun carefully observed the Black Flood Dragon's state. They discovered that it was indeed as Ancestor Ye Rongming had said; the Black Flood Dragon was injured, far from the calm and unruffled demeanor he had displayed earlier.

"He must have used space travel too many times to save the little Black Flood Dragon. He is currently at his weakest point. We were almost fooled by him." Patriarch Wang Lingyun looked at the severed wound on the Black Flood Dragon's tail; it was clearly caused by the cutting force of space.

"Hahaha, who would have thought there would be such a good thing in the world: hunt a Level 4 Black Flood Dragon and get a Level 5 Black Flood Dragon as a bonus." Ancestor Wei Xinghe was ecstatic now. "Brother Ye, Brother Wang, bring out your true skills! Today, we kill the Dragon and eat its meat!"

"Father, I'm sorry. It is Young Master Yuan Ze who has harmed you." Inside Cang Ming's body, Young Master Yuan Ze watched his father's body, riddled with holes from the cutting force of space, and finally shed tears of regret.

"Burning Sea — Magma." "Flood — Golden Mountain." "Prison Cage — Turbid Water."

The three directly activated the second form of their respective Domains, doubling their attack intensity. A Level 5 Dragon is not easy to kill!

Cang Ming was first trapped by Ancestor Ye Rongming's cage and unable to move, then he was consecutively struck directly on his dragon body by the attacks of Ancestor Wei Xinghe and Patriarch Wang Lingyun. His Dragon Domain was also shattered by the two of them, and the riddled wounds on his body could no longer be hidden, revealing themselves before the three.

Seeing Cang Ming so severely injured, the three were even more ecstatic.

Ancestor Wei Xinghe applied a defensive Talisman to himself, summoned his precious sword, burned his blood essence, and directly unleashed his strongest ultimate technique — Burning Sea Triple Kill. Three sword lights slashed onto Cang Ming, forcefully severing one of his dragon claws.

Patriarch Wang Lingyun was not to be outdone. He took out a butcher's knife — Butcher Ding's Dissection — and scraped a large piece of flesh from Cang Ming. Ancestor Ye Rongming did not have the life-saving means of the Level 5 Talismans that they held, and fearing that Cang Ming would take him down with it at the last moment, he only dared to stay at a distance, using the World in the Palm cage to scrape at Cang Ming, obtaining a small amount of flesh and dragon scales.

"Roar."

Cang Ming wailed in pain. He wanted to use space travel again, but his body could no longer withstand it. If he entered space again, Cang Ming estimated that he would become trapped within the space and never be able to come out.

Cang Ming looked at his dragon body, which had already been reduced by one-seventh, and knew he could not hold on for much longer. He only regretted not bringing Young Master Yuan Ze back to the Black Flood Dragon Clan, and also regretted not listening to his father's words to advance to the Middle Stage of Level 5 earlier. Otherwise, how would these Martial Artists before him dare to be so presumptuous!

"Hahaha, satisfying! Satisfying! Satisfying!"

Ancestor Wei Xinghe and Patriarch Wang Lingyun continuously put the obtained Level 5 Dragon flesh into their storage bags, making Ancestor Ye Rongming in the distance extremely envious. He regretted not buying a Level 5 defensive Talisman at the last auction, and now he could only watch others eat the meat.

Just as Ancestor Ye Rongming was considering whether to step forward and fight for it, his heart suddenly trembled, as if he had sensed some terrifying existence. He hurriedly transmitted his voice:

"Brother Wei, Brother Wang, run!"
