The three young entrepreneurs raised their heads and felt their blood race. They wanted to cheer but did not dare to disturb the Hero in his battle, so they merely concentrated their attention on watching how the battle progressed.
They thought in unison, ‘Although this formidable, ruthless old man looks like a celestial being, he’s nothing more than a bandit. He’ll definitely be beaten to dregs by the four dragons.
‘Those are four True Dragons!
‘Maybe this old man will be scared witless in the next second and fall to the ground after losing the ability to float?’
Their thoughts were the same as the middle-aged man with the surname Liu. Although they were opposing sides, they had the same judgment on what would happen in the battle.
The two Western-suited bodyguards who injured the three young men also started to sweat. They stuck closely to their employer’s side, assuming expressions of loyalty and protection when in fact they had already made preparations to flee at any moment.
Ridiculous. They were noble cultivators with boundless prospects in their future. How could they throw away their lives for an employer?
It was fine just hitting some inexperienced workers to earn some pocket money, but demanding them to use their professional ethics from their previous bodyguard industry would just be a joke.
Their strength was the highest among all the people here, but they also came to the same conclusion. It was impossible for Old Master Yunzi to win against four dragons.
However, they were different from the other four. They did not base their judgment of victory on the difference between dragon and man.
The two of them secretly communicated with each other spiritually.
“Old San, this old man’s strength is at most only Lake-level, but each of those four dragons is also revealing Lake-level strength. It’s a four-to-one battle. That Old Master is finished!”
“Yeah, don’t forget, there’s still Vigilante A who’s watching closely. He was strong enough alone, but now he has four dragons with him. The Hero stopped fighting solo and started fighting with a group. Does that old man really have any chance of survival?”
“Thankfully we stopped and didn’t kill those three runts, otherwise we’ll be dead…”
“Yeah, these years, cultivators need to be smart to go far in life. What’s the point of cultivating if they just offer themselves up as cannon fodder whenever someone else issues a challenge? They might as well be trash on the side of the road.”
While everyone was looking down on Ling Yunzi, he finally moved.
Stared down by four dragons, without saying a word, and without anger, surprise, or fear, this Old Master’s body slightly moved, and turned into a cloud of mist!
This cloud of mist was only slightly discernable under the bright sunlight, and scattered seven brilliant colors!
The four dragons remained unmoving and only looked warily at the cloud of mist.
The cloud of mist was neither large nor small, but the seven brilliant colors changed alternately one after the other, giving people a mysterious sense of danger.
In the System Space.
Seeing this, Fang Ning could not help but get worried again.
This old man did not act like a regular villain and express shock at the appearance of the four dragons, but was instead very calm.
‘Could it be that Anderson was right in saying that this old coot was extremely troublesome, and that Sir System could only flee in defeat faced with him?
‘If that’s the case, I’d better call my beloved back quickly and allocate some more budget to the System…’
‘Actually, there’s quite a lot of experience points with the beloved.
‘Wait.’ Fang Ning quickly strangled that thought in the bud. He almost forgot that the System could spy on his thoughts.
“I know already. That guy really is quite troublesome. We can’t mess around too much.” The System said seriously.
“You, you…” Fang Ning was exasperated. He said helplessly, “You still want to fool me? Are you trying to learn from those warlords from history?”
“What do you mean? I don’t understand. Can you make more sense?” The System wondered.
“I’m saying, what you’re doing is ‘raising the foe for your own purpose’ 1 ! Aren’t you afraid of bringing down your chivalrous virtue?” Fang Ning said severely.
“Oh, oh… Actually, the reason why I didn’t kill him immediately is that I want to be more familiar with the Upper Realm’s fighting style. When evildoers from the Upper Realm descends in the future, I’ll need to know both myself and the enemy to be able to beat them.” The System quickly changed the topic and no longer mentioned what it said before.
“That’s more like it.” Fang Ning was very pleased.
‘Thank goodness the one seizing me is a chivalric System and not an evil devil, otherwise, I’d really suffer. At the very least, it won’t be as obedient as it is now.’
After finding out the System’s intentions, he no longer felt worried and did not bother watching the large screen along with Anderson anymore.
Instead, he returned to the System Cyber Cage and leisurely reclined on the sofa. He fished out assorted pills to snack on. With a snap of his fingers and a spiritual twist, he turned on the computer and started to calmly watch the live broadcast outside.
To be able to relax and enjoy under such a fierce battle, Fang Ning was definitely the only one in the world who could do that.
Just as Fang Ning swallowed a Vinegar Pill, the scene suddenly changed.
From the cloud of mist, a red light suddenly shot towards the purple dragon in the West, a yellow light shot towards the blue dragon in the North, a purple light shot towards the green dragon in the East, and a blue light shot towards the fire dragon in the South.
How fast was the speed of light? It was exactly as fast as what it looked like.
If you saw it, it meant that the attack had already hit the target!
The four dragons shook as if hit by something vicious, and all started to glow green and swell beneath their tough scales, as if becoming swollen.
“Hahaha!” From within the mist, Ling Yunzi’s voice finally sounded.
“You’re too careless! You’ve gotten hit by my faction’s Shadowless Poison. In just seven days, they’ll die from ulceration, and I’ll have gotten my hands on four first-rate dragon bones. How fortunate!”
“Don’t think that you can avoid it just because you’re dragons. This poison is profound. I naturally won’t say anything more. You’ll understand when you die!”
His voice was full of self-confidence and pride, as if he already saw the four True Dragon’s as a pile of bones belonging to him that were unable to turn the tables anymore.
“What’s Shadowless Poison?” Fang Ning startled, threw down his snacks and ran to Anderson’s office to ask.
“This old man really is ruthless. It’s a poison he specially developed to deal with some powerhouses. In the upper world, I’ve heard that even if he were to go against powerhouses several levels higher than him, they also end up extremely troubled once hit by this poison.” Anderson said worriedly.
“Are you fine?” Fang Ning secretly asked the System using telepathy.
“I’m not fine.” The System said firmly.
“What Weren’t you super confident earlier?” Fang Ning said gloomily, “Did you suffer a setback?”
“Yeah, I’ll have to waste half of my magical energy to transform four new dragons again. Damn old man, that poison really is ruthless… I’d have it easier if those people finished learning the Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique earlier. I’d be able to buy some magical energy to stockpile and never have to worry about the four dragons suffering losses again.”
“Ah, I see. That’s good.” Fang Ning was reassured.
However, at this point, a change in the battlefield occurred again.
While Ling Yunzi was laughing madly, the cloud of mist actually lessened.
If not for the System’s superior eyesight, it would not have caught that either.
Vigilante A remained calm and collected, and with a sudden flash, reappeared a hundred meters away.
Then, he aimed at a blank space and raised a hand.
A red dragon flame spurted out.
Immediately, a cloud of mist was forced out from the space by the dragon flame.
The mist then turned into the shape of a human. It was Ling Yunzi.
He stared at Vigilante A who appeared in front of him, finally expressing shock.
“Who the hell are you? How were you able to see through my Hidden Escape technique?”
‘Haha, Sir System has encountered these patterns too many times. You won’t be able to fool Sir System with that act of false bravado and plan of making a diversion of that level.’
Fang Ning immediately understood. This Ling Yunzi only repeated the same kinds of tricks.
Most likely, he did not run away because he was frightened by Vigilante A, but because he wanted to wait for the poison to spread through the four dragons before wrapping everything up.
He did not want to get injured by the True Dragon to launch a counterattack on the brink of death, so he decided to quietly escape when putting on a false bravado.
Although the tactic was simple, it truly showed how extraordinary he was.
If his opponent were anyone else, he might actually have gotten away with it.
It seemed that he was very confident in this poison. However, he did not know that he poisoned the wrong targets. He should have poisoned Vigilante A, not the four True Dragons.
Perhaps he thought that Vigilante A was a summoner and that by crippling his familiars, it would be the same as crippling him as well.
