Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Ling Fei's exposed trail drew Wang Xu and his group in pursuit.

He, however, continued riding the Profound Eagle forward, intending to lure them deep into the mountain range.

WHOOSH!

In the Void, Ling Fei flew onward on his Golden Eagle.

He continuously bypassed one mountain peak after another. Along the way, some Demon Birds appeared, but he defeated them all.

Wang Xu and the others, riding their Red Simurghs, closed the distance with Ling Fei.

Finally, the Cold Qi ahead grew increasingly dense, and the flight speed of Ling Fei's Golden Eagle began to slow.

Ling Fei came to a stop on a mountain peak.

His Golden Eagle landed on the peak, its body trembling uncontrollably.

After all, the Golden Eagle was not a Cold Attribute bird and struggled to adapt to the temperature. By now, it was beginning to feel unable to continue.

"Hehe, the Cold Qi is dense up ahead. Even his mount doesn't dare to go any deeper." Seeing this, the eyes of the men behind them lit up with fervor.

Their Red Simurghs were Fire Attribute birds. With the protection of Fire Essence within their bodies, they could last a while longer.

"Ling Fei, let's see where you run this time!" The Red Simurgh descended, and Wang Xu, who was on its back, gave a vicious smile.

WHOOSH!

At the same time, two Red Simurghs flew to the left and right, boxing Ling Fei in.

The young men in the center then landed on the mountaintop.

Just like that, Ling Fei was quickly cornered by them on three sides.

Ling Fei's gaze hardened. He released his Heart Spirit, sensing the aura fluctuations of the men before him.

'Eleven people. Two at the Celestial Spirit Realm, five at the Perfect Innate Realm, and four at the Late Innate Stage.'

In an instant, Ling Fei had a clear understanding of their strength.

"Run? Who said I was going to run?" After gauging their strength, Ling Fei began to gather his power and spoke nonchalantly.

"Hehe, Ling Fei, I know you have a powerful Sound Wave Secret Technique that can shock a person's soul. But if you think that makes you invincible, you're dead wrong. In the Great Tang Empire, it's not your place, you little upstart, to be so arrogant. Today, I'll show you just how formidable we Divine Guards are." Positioned in front of Ling Fei, Wang Yuhao grinned. He then glanced at the few Divine Guards beside him and said, "Brothers, time to play our trump cards! This is our chance for promotion and wealth. As long as we take down this Ling Fei, we can soar through the ranks and become Silver Level Divine Guards."

"Hehe, at that time, our clansmen will also bask in the glory!"

"Yes!" Immediately, the Iron Guards beside them nodded, their faces flushed with excitement.

If they captured Ling Fei this time, not only could they become Silver Level Divine Guards, but they would also have a chance to receive a reward and step into the Celestial Spirit Realm.

That would be a true meteoric rise, soaring to the heavens.

At Wang Yuhao's call, the Iron Guards all made their move. With a flip of their palms, their Waist Tokens appeared in their hands.

'The Divine Guard Waist Token!' Seeing this, Ling Fei was taken aback.

But he didn't dwell on it. With a flicker of his Heart Spirit, he began to gather his True Dragon Intent. In his mind, his Soul Power condensed and fused with his body.

True Dragon Roar!

With a thought, Ling Fei's lips parted, and a dragon's roar thundered out.

He spun around, the sound wave moving with him, blasting toward the men who had him surrounded.

Now that he had achieved Soul Power Transformation, activating the True Dragon Roar was clearly much easier than before.

The incoming sonic blast was comparable in power to an attack from a Late Stage of Innate Cultivator.

However, just as Ling Fei's dragon roar blasted out, the five Iron Level Divine Guards made their move.

Light Patterns flickered on their Waist Tokens as a Dragon Pattern soared into the air, forming a Light Shield that enveloped all of them.

Above the Light Shield, a True Dragon seemed to coil, and a vast Dragon's Might spread out from it.

There were eleven of them in total: four on the left and right, and seven in the front.

One Iron Level Divine Guard on each side activated their Waist Token.

In the front, three Iron Level Divine Guards activated their Waist Tokens, protecting the seven men there.

BUZZ!

Instantly, Ling Fei's True Dragon Roar sound wave slammed into the Light Shield.

Ripples spread across its surface as if a barrier had blocked the soul-based sound wave. The Soul Secret Technique was thus unable to penetrate it and invade the men's minds. In other words, faced with the Light Shield generated by the Waist Tokens, Ling Fei's True Dragon Roar had failed.

"This..." Seeing this, Ling Fei froze, a look of complete astonishment on his face.

This scene had clearly exceeded his expectations.

"It's said that Divine Guards receive the protection of the Celestial Emperor's Emperor's Qi, and the source of that protection is the Divine Guard Waist Token. I never thought it was actually true." Seeing this, Wang Xu's eyes lit up. He recalled the rumor, but he had never seen anyone activate a Divine Guard Waist Token before and didn't know what its effects truly were.

After all, the Emperor's Qi within the Divine Guard Waist Token was limited and couldn't be used continuously.

It was a life-saving measure, not something one would use lightly.

But now, in order to deal with Ling Fei, they naturally couldn't be bothered with such concerns.

After all, if they took down Ling Fei, they would have the chance to be promoted to Silver Level Divine Guard.

The Emperor's Qi contained within that level of Divine Guard Token was far denser and could unleash even greater power.

It was a no-lose situation, so of course they were happy to do it.

"Hehe, Ling Fei, die!" Just as astonishment showed in Ling Fei's eyes, Wang Yuhao let out a vicious smile.

He had already activated the Bronze Waist Token in his hand.

Besides him, Liu Yunxuan had also activated his Bronze Waist Token.

BUZZ!

A Light Pattern flashed on the Waist Token, and a stream of Emperor's Qi gathered, forming a sharp sword that slashed through the air toward Ling Fei.

SWISH!

The sword's momentum was overpowering, like an Emperor's Sword, containing a supreme might. As it slashed down, it twisted the very Void itself.

Then, a dense wave of Sword Qi swept across the area, bearing down on Ling Fei.

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, Ling Fei's robes billowed. His Golden Eagle shrieked and hastily flew into the distance.

Even it could sense the dangerous aura.

'What a fierce attack. It already surpasses that of a Celestial Spirit Middle Stage Realm Cultivator.' Seeing this, Ling Fei's expression darkened, and he quickly retreated.

As he fell back, he drifted to the right to evade Wang Yuhao's head-on strike.

But just as Ling Fei dodged Wang Yuhao's attack, Liu Yunxuan's terrifying strike came slashing toward him.

Celestial River Nine Swords!

In his haste, Ling Fei quickly executed the Celestial River Nine Swords.

SWISH, SWISH, SWISH!

In an instant, the Celestial River Nine Swords shot out to meet Liu Yunxuan's fierce strike, but his Sword River was completely unable to withstand such an attack.

The moment the Emperor's Sword appeared, it tore his Sword River apart like a furious, coiling dragon, sweeping toward Ling Fei to annihilate him.

"Hehe, this Ling Fei is finished." Seeing this, Wang Xu grinned viciously.

"This is the Emperor's Sword, formed from Emperor's Qi," one of the Iron Level Divine Guards next to Wang Xu sneered. "Even someone at the Celestial Spirit Middle Stage Realm couldn't block a single strike from it, let alone a mere Innate Realm Cultivator like him!" At the same time, looks of envy appeared in their eyes.

The Emperor's Qi contained in an Iron Level Divine Guard's Waist Token was only comparable to a single strike from a Celestial Spirit Realm Cultivator.

After one activation, the next would only be able to unleash an attack at the Perfect Innate Realm level.

If they continued to use it, the Emperor's Qi would be completely depleted.

'This time... I miscalculated.' As the Emperor's Sword tore through his Sword River, Ling Fei's brow furrowed tightly.

His Celestial River Nine Swords was powerful, and its chilling Cold Qi could even Ice Seal fierce Sword Qi. Yet at this moment, the Cold Qi had only managed to slightly weaken the attack's power.

Now, he was exhausted, yet his opponent's strike still had power to spare. How could he possibly block it?
