At this moment, Tie Mu Dao Ren's expression was fluctuating between dark and light.
To suggest that he, a practitioner of the Great Perfection of Golden Core, would fear Aowu Shuang, the prince of the Jiaolong Clan who was merely at the Initial Golden Elixir Stage, would be an injustice. Moreover, even if things were dire, he could still escape.
Although there is an old saying that a person's name carries weight and a tree casts a shadow, Aowu Shuang was indeed the prince of the Jiaolong Clan. However, anyone who could form a Golden Core was undoubtedly a practitioner with an incredibly firm will. Without a true confrontation to verify their strength, mere reputation could not intimidate Iron Observer.
What truly made Iron Observer wary was the hidden guards surrounding this flamboyant Jiao Long Prince and the Azure Phoenix Chariot pulled by Four Winged Horses.
Just the Four Winged Horses alone were top-tier spirit beasts. Not only did they possess an ancient Bloodline, but their strength was equivalent to that of four Heart-Moving Period Cultivators.
Even more terrifying was that the Winged Horses had a great light attribute, making them natural enemies to all sinister and ghostly techniques. Even a Golden Core Stage Ghost King or Demon King would find it difficult to subdue them with just one against four.
As for the Azure Phoenix Chariot, it was even more remarkable. This was a mode of transport specially crafted by the Jiaolong Clan for their Talented Dragon Prince. It not only used the finest materials but also had extremely powerful protective formations.
Once fully activated, even Iron Observer at the Great Perfection of Golden Core Stage would have to retreat in haste; its power was undoubtedly formidable.
Moreover, Aowu Shuang possessed one of the highest-tier Bloodlines in the Jiaolong Clan, said to be a return to ancestry, resulting in a Bloodline density several times greater than normal. With his Divine Ability and his several dozen-meter-long dragon body, he would leave practitioners of the same realm in his dust.
Furthermore, even if he were an ordinary person, having such a chariot with so many powerful attendants and hidden elite guards would make Iron Observer hesitant to act against him.
Iron Observer's face continued to shift between colors as he hesitated, yet he still underestimated the pride of the dragon clan. Aowu Shuang showed no courtesy; he merely glanced at him and calmly said, "Get lost or die!!!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Kai couldn't help but grin, nearly laughing out loud. What a guy! This mockery and skillful provocation had definitely hit maximum value in one go.
Indeed, as soon as those words were spoken, Iron Observer's breath caught in his throat. His already fluctuating complexion turned crimson in an instant, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.
A cultivator at the Great Perfection of Golden Core Stage was being mocked by a mere Initial Golden Elixir Stage individual, leaving him utterly dismayed.
"You ignorant fool, you rely solely on your war chariot. Since you are so arrogant, do not blame me for being ruthless. I will strip you of your dragon tendons, peel off your dragon skin, and dismantle your dragon bones..." Iron Observer bellowed angrily, leaping into the air. He clapped his palms together and then spread them apart, unfurling a scroll that unleashed a thunderous roar as waves of lightning descended upon Aowu Shuang.
"You ungrateful trash, today I will carve you alive!" Aowu Shuang's eyes widened as he pointed a finger and shouted furiously, "Slash!!!"
A sharp beam of sword light shot up from the Azure Phoenix Chariot, transforming into a golden Light Screen that circled above.
Feeling the overwhelming killing intent, Ye Kai couldn't help but glance over. "This sword is truly sinister! The murderous aura is too intense! Aowu Shuang hails from the Jiaolong Clan and is even a prince; why does he wield such a fierce sword?"
"Boom!!!"
In mid-air, lightning crackled and gold light flickered chaotically.
Aowu Shuang paid no heed to Iron Observer's thunder but instead wore a mocking expression, letting out a pitying sigh. "This sword is called the Dragon Slayer Sword, the supreme execution tool of my Jiaolong Clan. In its prime, it has slain countless Creatures, accumulating an overwhelming aura of slaughter."
"I would prefer not to use this sword lightly, but your actions today have gone too far. Sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted calamities cannot be survived. You have forced me to take this step."
As he spoke, Aowu Shuang invoked the sword technique in his hand. The Dragon Slayer Sword in mid-air let out a piercing howl, resembling the wails of countless Creatures on the brink of death. The terrifying killing intent morphed into numerous nightmarish faces.
These faces transformed into streaks of black light that intercepted Iron Observer's lightning in mid-air, gradually extinguishing it. In an instant, they had already approached the vicinity of the scroll.
The various ghostly sounds echoed—humans, monsters, ghosts, dragons—while the scroll was engulfed by an endless aura of slaughter, instantly tainting it with a layer of gray-black hue as the thunder vanished without a trace.
The enormous scroll was cast down by the Iron Observer, not because he didn't care about this top-tier artifact, but because if it were to be struck by malevolent energy, he could suffer serious injuries. Moreover, without top-tier spiritual fire to refine it again, this 'Purgatory Thunder' scroll would be rendered completely useless.
The Iron Observer's face turned ashen, his eyes nearly bulging out, resembling a wounded beast witnessing the destruction of its treasure. He felt a surge of anger that almost made him spit out blood.
Although he was furious, he realized that if he did not exert all his strength to fend off the enemy, this time he might truly be done for.
In terms of magical power, his Divine Ability was indeed superior, but he could not withstand the opponent's array of treasures and the presence of an exceptionally skilled individual providing covert support. Even if he wanted to save face, he dared not take any real risks.
Though his chest felt like it would explode from rage, he had no other choice but to hold his nose and accept the situation, while also putting on a show.
"This Dragon Slayer Sword is truly a formidable weapon."
Ye Kai watched the commotion with amusement while occasionally glancing at the group beneath White Jade Mountain. They were munching on chips and sipping drinks, seemingly enjoying themselves.
He was well aware of the strength of that old fellow lurking in the shadows. Furthermore, the Azure Phoenix Chariot had yet to reveal its true power. He would bet that the Iron Observer would not dare to engage fully; at most, he would throw out a few harsh words before making a hasty retreat.
Even his two remaining disciples, who looked as pale as ashes, would surely not care anymore.
Ye Kai was all too familiar with people like them; leaving behind two subordinates as punching bags would provide him with extra security.
Moreover, given the proud nature of this Jiao Long Prince, there was a chance he might survive. It was certainly better than all three trying to escape together only to be caught in one fell swoop by that old ghost lurking in the shadows.
Sure enough.
After several rounds of battle, the Dragon Slayer Sword and the Binding Immortal Rope struck relentlessly, causing the Iron Observer's eyes to nearly burst. Not only had three or four top-tier magical artifacts been damaged, but his robe was also torn in several places.
At this moment, he could no longer afford to hesitate. He quickly threw out an Aqua Water Yin Thunder and summoned a dark cloud to escape into the distance.
Seeing his opponent flee, Aowu Shuang raised an eyebrow and said mockingly, "You offend a beauty that I favor, and you think this old Taoist can just run away?"
With a flick of his sword technique, the Dragon Slayer Sword transformed into a streak of black light, pursuing the Iron Observer.
At the same time, faster than the sword light, a massive golden net appeared ahead, blocking his path.
The Iron Observer came to a sudden stop, nearly crashing into the golden light. He turned and glared angrily, shouting, "Aowu Shuang, I have no grievances with your Jiaolong Clan. Do you really want to drive me to my death? Are you not afraid of us both perishing together?"
