Chapter 391: Chapter 271: Taking Stock

The moment Cang Fei saw the two of them, his face, which he was struggling to keep calm, twitched slightly. A hint of joy flashed deep in his eyes.

But years of experience had taught him excellent control over his expression. He put on a solemn look and said in a deep voice,

"There are enemies behind us. The two of you, hold them off for me for a moment. Cang Yu, haven’t you always wanted to join the Elder Council?"

Cang Fei didn’t need to say another word. Upon hearing this, Cang Yu’s face lit up with irrepressible joy as he nodded immediately. "Elder Qi, you go on ahead. Leave the enemies behind us to us."

"Mm," Cang Fei said with a reserved nod, directing the Frost Armor of Winter to continue flying forward.

But just as he was about to pass them, a surging pressure of Spiritual Energy erupted from the two brothers, Cang Yu and Cang Huang!

The Cyan God Armor beneath them, wreathed in raging Cyan Flames, was rapidly shifting to an indigo form.

Before the two Cyan God Armors could fully transform, they shot toward Cang Fei in a crazed, ferocious pounce.

Standing atop them, the two brothers’ hair stood on end. Their eyes flashed with a brilliant light as they burned their Spiritual Power to its limit, transforming it into powerful waves of Spiritual Shock that shot toward Cang Fei.

"You!!"

Even for someone as old and cunning as Cang Fei, he never expected two distinguished, mid-to-high-ranking Insect Masters of the Cyan God Tribe to betray him on the spot!

"You two pieces of trash think you can ambush me?"

Cang Fei, long accustomed to life-and-death situations, reacted in an instant. His Tier Four Spiritual Power swept out like a gale, completely neutralizing the waves of Spiritual Shock the two had tried to attack him with.

The Frost Armor of Winter below was even more domineering. With just a light swing of its arm’s Energy Ice Spike, the two berserk Cyan God Armors were instantly turned into ice sculptures, which then exploded into a cloud of fine dust!

"Mere Lords, trying to ambush a Monarch?"

Cang Fei snorted coldly. Without even glancing at the two men plummeting to the ground, he continued flying forward.

But Cang Yu and Cang Huang, acting as if they had no regard for their own lives, continued to summon their other Contracted Soul Beasts. Using them as springboards, they hurtled themselves toward Cang Fei like moths to a flame, turning themselves into flesh-and-blood projectiles.

Cang Fei paid these meaningless attacks no mind. He didn’t even lift his head; the frosty aura emanating from the Frost Armor of Winter was enough to halt their advance.

But just as Cang Yu’s body reached the edge of the Frost Armor of Winter’s cold aura, the very moment Cang Fei’s guard was at its weakest, a strange Spiritual Fluctuation suddenly generated from deep within the former’s brain. Like an invisible arrow, it shot straight for the latter’s head.

"Hmph..."

The attack was swift and sudden. The powerful Spiritual Shock instantly caused Cang Fei’s face to turn pale, a look of pain flashing across it.

The rate at which his body burned Spiritual Power to absorb Spiritual Energy suddenly slowed, and the Frost Armor of Winter’s flight faltered for a fraction of a second.

Combined with the time lost interacting with the two brothers and being ambushed, the roar of the Jade Aurora Dragon from behind grew ever closer. A blindingly brilliant, deep-cyan aurora leveled the clouds, tore through the atmosphere, and surged forward like a world-ending divine light.

The Frost Armor of Winter tried to dodge, only to discover that ethereal chains had somehow coiled around its feet.

Cang Fei whirled around, his massive, lantern-like eyes reflecting the endless light.

BOOM!!

An incomparably brilliant cyan light erupted.

For hundreds of kilometers in every direction, the sky and ground were bathed in cyan light.

A massive shockwave swept out, tearing vegetation and gravel from the earth.

Countless lives were dissolved by the cyan light.

WHOOSH...

Dust filled the sky.

Amidst the endless dust and smoke, a giant indigo beetle, trailing wisps of frost, broke through the haze and plummeted downward.

SWOOSH~

A streak of cyan light cut across the sky, coalescing into the form of a majestic Giant Dragon.

’So this is the destructive power of an Upper Monarch... The difference of just one Small Tier is enough for a single Soul Technique to gravely injure a lower-ranked Soul Beast to the point of death. It’s terrifying.’

Sitting atop the Jade Aurora Dragon, Han Ning couldn’t help but feel astonished as he looked down at the scene of devastation below.

He had seen the combat power of the Lower Monarch, Qingyao, before, and it was nowhere near this destructive.

It could only be said that the gap between Monarchs was as vast as the heavens and the earth.

’On the other hand, the Dragon Blood Race doesn’t even have a High-Level Meditation Technique, yet they can contend with the Five Great Ancestors based on the strength of their Soul Beasts alone. If they obtained a High-Level Meditation Technique and had a few hundred more years to develop, they could probably replace the Five Great Ancestors and defeat the Queen...’

Various thoughts flashed through Han Ning’s mind. ’Unfortunately, the Queen is an Emperor Level existence. Even if Akatos broke through to the Emperor Level right now, he most likely wouldn’t be a match for her.’

’After all, she was the ultimate lifeform developed by the Alataku People.’

"We have to get out of here, quickly. That Spiritual Energy fluctuation just now was too powerful and its range was too wide. The Five Ancestor Families will definitely send Insect Masters to investigate."

Qing Dou ordered the Jade Aurora Dragon to capture the falling Frost Armor of Winter, then spoke to Han Ning in a hurried tone.

By now, the injured Dragon Blood People, including Qing Fan and Qing Yue, had already been moved onto the dragon’s back.

"Yes, I understand," Han Ning nodded.

Immediately after, without even a chance to greet Qingyao, the Jade Aurora Dragon turned around and flew swiftly back toward where the cruise ship had landed.

As they neared their destination, they saw Egg Pancake, boosted by the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm, using its Super Gravity Talent to reduce the weight of the ten-thousand-ton cruise ship, struggling to carry it as it flew toward them.

Fortunately, during the battle between the Jade Aurora Dragon and the Frost Armor of Winter, Qing Dou had consciously ordered it not to destroy the cruise ship. Thus, despite the intense Spiritual Energy clashes, the ship had only suffered some surface cracks from stray aftershocks.
