Imperial Treasure

This blade felt familiar...

"Du Meng!!!" Yi Dao recognized this Master who had once fought him, but later vanished without a trace when he left with Jhiang Chenyu.

Corpse Artisan Du Meng.

He was far more terrifying than before.

This slash tore open the sandstorm....

The Mage blocked the blade. Seeing Corpse Artisan Du Meng about to snatch Zhao Nian away, he drove the sand howling past.. the area was too wide, and Du Meng, after all, specialized in single-target attacks—if he had Zhao Nian in hand, there was no way he could cast this sandstorm..

So he viciously hurled Zhao Nian away.....

High above, torn between killing the Pope and saving Zhao Nian, Sui Yi made her decision in an instant. She turned and dove down....

Her speed was so great that Zhao Nian was snatched into her grasp in the blink of an eye, but Sui Yi sensed a wisp of familiar qi.

This qi... felt familiar.

Did it come together with Du Meng?

And up on the rooftop, Li Luo and the others felt it too—but it was already too late.

Whooo～～

A second earlier, someone had been clinging to the wall beneath the rooftop; while they were unaware, that person leapt onto the roof and directly tore apart the Human Skin just now.

Dragon.

The burly, ferocious Dragon King seized the Jade Bi.

That massive Jade Bi was like a toy in his hand... lifted with ease.

The Dragon King had appeared together with Du Meng, clearly on the same side, and both of them were connected to Jhiang Chenyu—could it be that Jhiang Chenyu’s group was making a move again?

What is he... trying to do now?

All the Void-breaking Masters almost simultaneously charged toward him....

But he clutched the Jade Bi and jumped off the top of World Trade....

With just one jump, he leapt out in a crazed, unstoppable plunge!

Because his posture was to grasp the Jade Bi and smash it down from above with brutal force!

And directly beneath where the Jade Bi would come down...

Were Sui Yi holding Zhao Nian, and the Mage and Du Meng locked in combat!

Sui Yi turned her head and saw that enormous Jade Bi....

The Jade Bi had already revealed a third of itself; she could see a third of the High Priest statue’s profile, and that one eye...

She suddenly lost focus for an instant.

That brief lapse made her body go weak, as if some power were wracking her with pain—was this power from the Jade Bi? Or... the Dragon King?

The weakness was so severe that, holding Zhao Nian, Sui Yi did not flicker away the way Su Zimu and the others had expected, but instead fell, fell, kept on falling....

Li Luo and Natasha’s faces changed drastically—could it be...

Their gazes locked in unison onto the Dragon King and Du Meng!

Dammit, had these two found that... Jade Infant Sui Yi had put away and stored at Yhan Qingwu’s home?

The two of them dove down....

Rather, all the Void-breaking Masters dove down!

But none could catch up with the Dragon King’s speed!

However, Li Luo and Natasha both saw that on the Dragon King’s back, as he plummeted, there was a small pack strapped on.

With the Jade Infant in hand, Sui Yi already had no ability to resist at all—and now the Jade Bi on top of that...

Was he going to use the Jade Bi to smash Zhao Nian and Sui Yi to death together?

More than a dozen, nearly twenty streaks of Void-breaking light chased after the Dragon King and the Jade Bi.

Sui Yi, however, had already brought Zhao Nian down.... Using what strength she had left, she blasted aside Su Zimu and the others surging up from below.

Landing.

Boom!

The ground cracked like a turtle shell; her palm was braced against the earth, Zhao Nian sheltered safely beneath her, but the flesh of her arm split open...

She turned her head.

In that instant, the Jade Bi had already descended.

Su Zimu and the others still charged in; hundreds, thousands of attacks slammed into the Dragon King and the Jade Bi, yet... it was useless!

Grabbing Sui Yi and dodging was already impossible, because the Jade Bi was too enormous, and with the Dragon King’s power behind it, once it crashed down, the jade might not shatter—but people certainly wouldn’t survive intact.

Until....

Someone rushed in.

Aaaang~~~ A violet-red light exploded.

That was pure, absolute violet.

And a colossal Yuezhuo...

In the Central Plains there is a divine phoenix, supreme among the nine-nine extremes, named Yuezhuo: "Graceful beneath mists the phoenix Yuezhuo, oft the thunderbolt follows the Snake Dragon."

The Yuezhuo appeared, spreading its wings.... As Sui Yi used her body to shield Zhao Nian, it manifested at her back, its wings unfurling..

The true Phoenix.

Is it shielding?

It is attacking!

The phoenix talons closed on the Jade Bi, forcing it up from below—brutally levering it back.... And its wings transformed into strands of sharp yet supple violet light, wrapping around the Jade Bi and reversing its fall!

Its beak opened...

A bolt of thunder, not too big and not too small, formed...

And crashed down savagely onto the Dragon King, blasting him upward with overwhelming force!

The lightning exploded between the high-rises of the city; the Dragon King was engulfed by thunderlight and slammed diagonally into a skyscraper to the side, carving out a massive hole as thunderfire rolled.

The Jade Bi still fell, but without the Dragon King’s gripping strength, its impact was no longer so terrifying; Su Zimu and the others struck out in concert and stabilized the Jade Bi on the ground.

Du Meng was stunned at seeing the Yuezhuo Pu Qinghan had manifested, let alone the many Western powerhouses present—one thought flashed through them all: why can every creature in the Central Plains turn into a spirit beast! Why don’t we have anything like that in the West?

But there was no time to think deeply, because Brook, Agoleus, and the other Void-breaking Masters had already charged down.

Brook ignored Agoleus’ lock-on at his side, seized by only one thought—to capture Zhao Nian. So he lunged at Sui Yi!

That ice-wolf claw pressed down toward Sui Yi, icy and tyrannical.

The Yuezhuo’s wings twisted, transforming into countless violet-jade feathers brimming with metallic texture, howling as they threaded through the ice-wolf claw. Brook was ensnared by the violet feathers, dragged and smashed into a stone statue to the side.

Boom!

The statue shattered; Brook fell to the ground, roaring, his body fully transforming into an ice-wolf entity. Agoleus’ bone claw seized his waist, viciously ripping off a huge chunk of icy wolf flesh; Brook howled and flung Agoleus aside. Agoleus hit the ground, raised a hand to catch Ecks’s attack, then swept a leg out, blasting Ecks away.

But Agoleus suddenly noticed something over by Sui Yi．．．something seemed wrong with her condition.

His gaze flickered.

The Void-breaking Masters above had all landed; they didn’t rush to begin the battle, because the inexplicably appearing yet monstrously powerful Yuezhuo was guarding nearby, and Li Luo and the others had also all dropped down, forming a shield around Sui Yi.

Ring after ring, a dozen Void-breaking Masters.

The Byzantines and their people stood behind Agoleus, not daring to speak much, just staring at one spot.

Sui Yi!
