“How is that possible? Did they really just neutralize Yun Shan’s attack?”
“Who are these people? How can they fight a Wisdom Dictator head-on?!”
“The willow branches in their hands are very extraordinary and seem to contain the aura of a Wisdom Dictator. I’m willing to bet their original form is even more terrifying!”
“I really thought that the reinforcements Yun Xiaolong brought were some joke, but it seems like there’s a chance the Yun Clan might just really be saved!”
Everyone in the Yun Clan exclaimed in surprise and happiness.
“They seem to be borrowing some kind of divine power.” Yun Shan’s eyes narrowed when he sensed the aura emanating from the willow branches. Then, he laughed coldly and said, “I’d be afraid if the real owner of the branches came along, but just relying on a small part of divine power to fight against me is a fool’s errand!”
He unleashed all his aura and cast another palm strike toward Nanan and Dragin. This time, he did not hold back at all. Dark clouds began to roll in, blanketing the sky in an instant. The dark clouds turned into a giant pitch-black palm which came bearing down on Dragin and Nanan.
Nanan snorted with a laugh and said, “You think too highly of yourself. Having Sister Willow here would be overkill.”
She then took flight to the sky and waved her willow branch. Immediately, a layer of green brilliance enveloped her entire body, making her look like an angel coming down from heaven, so much so that even the dark clouds did not take away any of her extraordinariness. With every wave of the branch, a green beam appeared like a sharp sword, piercing the pitch-black giant palm and riddling it with holes.
With a roar, Dragin started aiming for Yun Shan.
“Why you little brats! Go to hell!” Even though Yun Shan was surprised at their power, some part of him still felt that they would not be able to defeat him. He smiled savagely when he saw Dragin coming for him.
With a wave of his hand, 81 powerful light beams flew in from all directions with Dragin as their center. Each of the 81 light beams contained a Wisdom Ultimate Treasure needle, and the combination was as strong as a fifth-grade Wisdom Ultimate Treasure. They could freeze all of time and space, and suppress everything under the sun.
The space around Dragin seemed to have frozen in time and the 81 needles closed in on her in a blink of an eye. She did not panic. Instead, she began to draw a circle around her with the willow branch. Wherever the willow branch was, a green water barrier appeared, keeping Dragin safe within it.
As the needles crashed against the barrier, it was then Dragin found out that the needles could multiply. Within less than a second, the number of the needles was in the millions and they had completely covered Dragin’s barrier to the point that no light could get in. From the outside, it seemed like Dragin had become a hedgehog
“Die!” Yun Shan put his palms together to manipulate the needles, pressing them down on the barrier. The needles trembled and pushed inward, little by little. Everyone shuddered to think just what would happen to Dragin if the needles reached the center.
“Goddess Dragin!” cried Yang Jing and the others worriedly. They activated their mana without hesitation and charged toward Yun Shan in hopes of rescuing Dragin and Nanan.
“Silence!” said Yun Shan dismissively. He easily neutralized all of the Heavenly People’s attacks with a wave of his hand. Then, he drew a series of hand seals to summon a piece of fiery red jade which immediately turned into a red fire dragon.
The fire dragon roared and shot a fireball at the Heavenly Palace people, surrounding them in an ocean of flames. This fire dragon was refined from a fire dragon that had almost become a Wisdom Dictator that Yun Shan captured in the past. Through Yun Shan’s cultivation, the fire dragon spirit’s power was close to that of a Wisdom Dictator.
“I knew this wouldn’t work…” said the Yun Chief with a sigh. The gap between the half-step Wisdom Dictator and a Wisdom Dictator was simply immeasurable. It was already a miracle they survived that long in a battle against Yun Shan. If they were any other ordinary people, they would have been killed in seconds.
He did not want Nanan and the others to die in vain so he said, “Yun Shan, this is a matter between us Yuns. It has nothing to do with them. I implore you to let them go!”
“Hehe, do you still think you’re the chief? There’s no way I’ll let them go since they’re here now!” said Yun Shan coldly. He always had a murderous streak in him. He continued to manipulate the needles, hellbent on riddling Dragin with holes.
Suddenly, all the needles trembled and began to dim as their power weakened at an astonishing speed. The most shocking thing was there was nothing Yun Shan could do about it.
“What’s going on?!” Yun Shan frantically urged his mana but it was to no avail, for not only did it not work, but the needles fell to the ground one by one while he watched on helplessly. The tinkling sounds were incessant.
“No! What happened to my Celestial Needles?!” cried Yun Shan with eyes as wide as saucers. It was then he noticed the barrier around Dragin was giving off a black glow. “What kind of water is this?”
Dragin smiled apologetically and said, “Sorry, but I added some vinegar to the water and the acid must’ve eroded the needles…”
‘Add some vinegar? Eroded a Wisdom Ultimate Treasure? Is there really something in the world that can do that?’ Not one of the people there understood what she was talking about.
“Their unusual fighting style sure is exciting!”
“They’re only half-step Wisdom Dictators and yet, Yun Shan can’t do anything about them! As a matter of fact, all of their attacks were impossible for him to guard against!”
“I’m beginning to think that they might just stand a chance to win!”
The people of the Yun clan were talking amongst themselves in shocked whispers.
“Everything’s futile in the face of absolute power!” Yun Shan readjusted his mentality, took a sudden step, and appeared next to Dragin. Subsequently, he threw a punch at her. He cast an ultimate spell to suppress everyone there.
Everyone from the Yun clan started quaking in their boots the moment they recognized the ultimate spell. It was the Yun clan’s most powerful ultimate spell, the Wisdom Shattering Punch. The attack was known to be able to annihilate and dominate Wisdom.
“It’s shameless to even use that ultimate spell against people who are weaker than yourself!” scolded someone, angered at the injustice of it all.
Dragin, too, felt the incomparable oppression as everything around her had been torn into pieces by the momentum of the punch! Her face was solemn as she began to attack Yun Shan with the willow branch. At the same time, Nanan had also turned her attention to Yun Shan after she successfully wiped out the giant pitch-black palm.
The two of them worked together to bring Yun Shan down. The combination of the willow branches and their martial arts moves brought about with them a monstrous power, and Yun Shan began to panic when he realized that he would not be able to hold on much longer.
“How’s it possible that you two little brats can borrow power perfectly?” Yun Shan became more and more frightened. There was no sense of incongruity at all even though they were borrowing the power of others. It was as if they had sprouted an extra arm.
This showed that although they have not yet become Wisdom Dictators, their understanding of Wisdom was no less than that of Wisdom Dictators. It was just a matter of time before they became a real Wisdom Dictator.
Yun Shan’s confidence gradually disintegrated. “Who…who…who are you people?!”
Through his distracted state, Dragin and Nanan had found an opening and the willow branches mercilessly whipped Yun Shan.
