?1211  Patriarch Liang''s Trump Card


    ''What''s happening to the Dragon''s Soul? I have never seen it acting like this before…'' Xi Meili silently stared at the spear in her grasp with a bewildered expression on her face.


    As far as she was aware, the Dragon''s Soul has never bonded with anyone within her family. She has always wondered why the Dragon''s Soul was in her family''s possession even though nobody could use it.


    ''The Dragon''s Soul has remained asleep for countless years. It isn''t a coincidence that it''s showing signs of awakening now…''


    A certain face appeared inside her mind, but before she could really think about it, she was disturbed by General Zheng.


    "Did you already forget about me?!" General Zheng roared as he swung his halberd at Xi Meili, who quickly reacted by lifting the Dragon''s Soul to block the iing attack.


    ng!


    Xi Meili was sent flying back by the immense forceing from the strike, and she could even feel a numbing sensation in her hands afterward.


    "Unfortunately, I do not have the time to y with you anymore." General Zheng said, his aura slowly increasing as he began his transformation.


    "Since you seem to be in a hurry, I will do you a favor and kill you soon." Xi Meili said, and the atmosphere around her suddenly changed. Her hair grew slightly longer, her golden eyes began glowing, and golden scales began appearing on her body.


    General Zheng snickered at her transformation, "Is that all your transformation can achieve? Besides looking a little different, you don''t seem any stronger."


    Xi Meili didn''t say anything and readied her spear.


    When they shed again a momentter, General Zheng''s eyes widened when he felt the overwhelming strength behind Xi Meili''s strike and was pushed back several steps.


    ''Although she doesn''t look any stronger and her cultivation remains the same, she''s actually several times stronger than before her transformation!'' Aftering to this realization, General Zheng stopped underestimating Xi Meili and began taking her seriously.


    Meanwhile, several miles away, Patriarch Liang was experiencing a situation that he never even dreamed of being possible.


    "What''s wrong? You haven''t opened your mouth in a while now." Yuan''s voice resounded as Patriarch Liang held a panicked expression on his face.


    Patriarch Liang gritted his teeth, but no words came out.


    "You were acting so high and mighty not long ago, too."


    Yuan''s figure suddenly disappeared before Patriarch Liang''s eyes.


    Half a secondter, Patriarch Liang could sense a presence behind him, awakening his goosebumps.


    ''He''s behind me!'' Patriarch Liang immediately twisted his body to turn around while swinging his weapon in motion.


    ng!


    A powerful ripple was created as Patriarch Liang''s weapon flew into Yuan''s Empyrean Overlord at full force. However, Yuan did not budge a single inch despite Patriarch Liang using his full strength.


    "Hmph." Yuan released a low snort before swinging his arm.


    The very next moment, Patriarch Liang''s body was sent flying into the distance like a ragdoll being tossed across the street.


    After stabilizing himself with much effort, Patriarch Liang did not look surprised by what had just happened, as he had been tossed several times by now. Instead of surprise, Patriarch Liang had a terrified expression on his face


    — looking like someone who could not find a way out of their trouble.


    ''Impossible… Why is he so strong? If he''s using a spiritual treasure, there''s no way something so powerful couldst this long! He must be an expert in disguise! But howe we have never heard of him before?!''


    "Just where the fuck have you been hiding all this time?! And why are you showing yourself now?!" Patriarch Liang subconsciously shouted out what was inside his mind.


    "Does any of that really matter?" Yuan calmly responded.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    "FUUUUUCK!!!" Patriarch Liang suddenly tilted his head and released a deafening roar that caused the air to tremble.


    When he looked at Yuan again, his eyes were bloodshot and desperate.


    "This is my trump card, and I was saving this treasure for the Xi Family, but you are clearly a bigger threat than them as a whole…" Patriarch Liang muttered as he reached inside his spatial ring to bring out what appeared to be a single piece of golden scale.


    Yuan raised an eyebrow after seeing the scale. He has no idea what he was looking at and why Patriarch Liang brought it out.


    "Do you know what this is?" Patriarch Liang held the scale in front of him as he asked Yuan.


    "Should I?" Yuan asked.


    Patriarch Liang showed a wide smirk on his face as he spoke, "You probably know that there are two dragons that are epted as Dragon Gods by the Dragon Race. The Great One and the Dragon Ancestor. However, what if I told you that there actually existed a third dragon— a Dragon God that surpassed the other two?"


    "Oh?" Yuan''s interest was immediately piqued by such words.


    "This third Dragon God also had a supreme bloodline, but it was somehow iparably stronger than the other two with a simr bloodline. If this Dragon God hadn''t disappeared into thin air, it would be ruling the entire Dragon Race by now— I''m sure of it."


    Patriarch Liang had a look of deep admiration as he spoke of this third Dragon God, almost as though he was speaking of his own ancestor.


    "And this scale… This scale right here belongs to that third Dragon God. Even though it is only a tiny portion of a single piece of scale, it contains enough power to obliterate any dragon that is below the realm of Divinity."


    "You may be strong, perhaps even at the cultivation level of Spirit Enlightenment, but you definitely haven''t reached the Divine Realm yet! However! I will give you onest chance! Come work for me and I will spare your life!"


    "..."


    After a moment of silence, Yuan spoke in a sarcastic tone, "I appreciate such a generous offer, but I very much would like to see what that scale can do, so I will have to refuse your offer."


    Patriarch Liang sneered in disdain, "Then you can die for me!"


    He then clenched the golden scale and poured his spiritual energy into it, causing it to emit a bright and mythical light that filled the area with a rainbow-colored aurora.
