Seeing Lu Yun’s reaction, Xu Zimei smiled and said, "It seems things are getting more and more interesting."
At that moment, Lu Yun was completely dumbfounded, standing still; the oldest Clan Elder of the four great lizard races, who was said to have perished in battle against the Black Dragon King, had actually appeared here.
The lizard race had always regarded transforming into dragons as their lifelong goal.
It was rumored that all those years ago, the four Clan Elders were deceived, allowing the Black Dragon King to enter.
Following a battle to the death, the four Clan Elders perished, and the Black Dragon King utterly dominated this world.
But now, it seemed the situation was quite different from the legend.
"Clan Elder, how come you are here?" Lu Yun asked hesitantly.
She originally wanted to ask why the four Clan Elders would be together with the Black Dragon King, but ultimately she swallowed her words.
"Number Three, it appears that the members of your race have broken the rules," the blue-robed elder said to the green-robed elder.
"Dammit, is that something you should know?" The green-robed elder glared at Lu Yun somewhat angrily.
He then said, "Why leave your territory and bring a human to cause trouble here?
If you mess things up, you’ll be the eternal sinner of our lizard race."
Seeing the Clan Elder’s attitude, Lu Yun was so anxious she was almost in tears.
She quickly said, "I, I don’t know anything."
"Alright, don’t be hard on a girl," Xu Zimei waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"You few old guys really live up to that saying, old but not dead, that’s a thief."
"Young man, you’ve got quite the tongue," the yellow-robed elder looked at Xu Zimei and said, "You are quite confident, daring to come here alone to our lizard race."
"Why waste words with him? Take him down quickly to avoid a long night full of dreams," the red-robed elder snorted coldly, his large hand reaching straight for Xu Zimei.
"Just you?" Xu Zimei chuckled softly.
The long sword in his hand burst forth with a brilliant blade light, sending a slash of Blade Qi that immediately severed the right hand of the red-robed elder.
"Hiss," the red-robed elder quickly retracted his arm, emitting a low growl.
"This kid’s got some tricks; everyone attack together," the blue-robed elder frowned and said.
The four of them leaped into the air, thick Holy Power radiating from their bodies.
Their mighty presence rolled and surged like the continuous waves of a great river.
When the Holy Power descended, the soaring figures of the four seemed to grow much taller, shaking the entire firmament.
Faintly connected, they brought a suppressing silence to heaven and earth.
Saint, the leader of the Great Dao, the truly powerful beings that stand proudly between heaven and earth.
And now, these four elders were four Saints.
Their power could nearly sweep through any Holy Sect.
"These are the Clan Elders you spoke of?" Xu Zimei looked at Lu Yun with a smile and said.
"With Clan Elders like these, how could you still be ruled by the Black Dragon King?"
One must know that the Black Dragon King was just a Semi-Saint, nowhere near the capability to contend with four Saints.
Xu Zimei felt he had previously underestimated the lizard clan; although they were a relatively small group,
they possessed their own little world, with a still considerable area; this clan was unlikely to be so simple, without any real powerhouses.
Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Lu Yun was utterly baffled.
Desperately shaking her head, she said with a sobbing tone, "I really don’t know, how everything changed in an instant."
She couldn’t understand why the Clan Elders were so strong.
Just a moment ago, she was the hero who would save her race, so why was she now being accused by the Clan Elders as the eternal sinner?
"Alright, go hide behind me to avoid getting hurt accidentally," Xu Zimei waved his hand and said.
He looked up at the sky, where the four Great Saints from the Sage’s Residence were above the firmament, looking down on him indifferently like the gods of legends.
With a wave of their arms, the heavens and earth changed color, the sun and moon circled, and stars flew like shuttles.
Boundless spiritual energy converged from all around, causing a storm that made the entire firmament roar and rumble.
There the four stood in the sky, looking down haughtily at Xu Zimei.
Four massive hands made of spiritual energy descended from the heavens, reaching for Xu Zimei.
Xu Zimei let out a faint smile as his long blade burst with endless Blade Intent.
The Blade Intent rampaged around him, tearing the heavens and earth into countless fragments.
"Way of Inquiry, Fifteen Forms, Reverse Samsara," Xu Zimei called out softly.
The long blade thundered like a lightning strike, piercing through Wu Geng’s void and coming with the breath of reincarnation to turn the world upside down.
In an instant, the space before him was divided by yin and yang of reincarnation, and Blade Intent tumbled out from within.
It directly annihilated the four spiritual energy hands and exploded right before the four elders’ eyes.
Blade Qi surged, and countless blade shadows permeated the space.
"Ah," a scream rang out, and when the Blade Intent had settled, the four Great Saints were seen bloodied and tumbling down from the firmament.
Loud rumbling noises blasted a hole in the mid-air.
"Who dares to put on airs?" Xu Zimei said indifferently.
Looking at the four Great Saints lying on the ground, Lu Yun, beside him, was too shocked to speak and hid behind a stone.
The battle at the foot of the mountain was also nearing its end; the Black Leopard lay bloodied under the claws of the Dark Heaven Tiger while the Black Python was being chewed bite by bite by the Nether Serpent.
The ice and fire Divine Dragons assailed from both sides, leaving the Black Dragon King defenseless and forced to flee passively.
"Kid, you forced our hand," the blue-robed elder said as he stood up, his figure swaying unsteadily.
"So what?" Xu Zimei smiled.
"Today I’m going all out. Did you really take our lizard kin for pushovers?"
As the blue-robed elder finished speaking, four distinct roars emerged.
Then, the four elders began to mutate at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Their bodies lay on the ground, their limbs transforming into huge scaled paws.
Their bodies gradually grew larger, spikes grew on their heads, and long tails emerged from their backs.
Their eyes were made up of several different colors, and the scales on their bodies evolved into distinct layers.
These were clearly four oversized mutated lizards.
Blue, red, yellow, green – each one a different color.
At this moment, when the four Clan Elders revealed their true forms, their intense beastly aura suppressed the entire snow-capped mountain.
The snowflakes that filled the sky seemed to freeze in place.
All the Yellow Lizards on the mountain instinctively knelt down, including Lu Yun, who couldn’t control himself either.
In their hearts, they felt a sense of awe and respect.
The four lizards turned their heads, exhaling long white breaths from their mouths, their eyes filled with depression as they stared at Xu Zimei.
It was a gaze that seemed to see him as already dead, chilling to the bone.
"Kid, you should be proud to have pushed us this far," the Red Lizard uttered human speech, its voice cold.
"Now, how do you want to die?"
"How I want to die?" Xu Zimei looked at the other party and said with a faint smile, "Do you think you know who you’re speaking to?"
