Chapter 749: Despair and Regret

Proofreader: Papatonks

Boom~

Following the string of explosions, wails of agony filled the area. The Heavenly Cycle Elders spun in the air like a disk, calm and unphased, yet with every spin, they sent out hundreds of dragon souls like a storm upon the enemy.

Luo clan’s Ethereal Stage experts had no way of approaching the four under this onslaught. In fact, they were the one getting slaughtered. In mere moments, the remaining dozen still left alive from the last attack were now gone as well.

Everyone could not believe what they saw. Even Li Jingtian, a martial fanatic, shook at such power.

Roar!

A draconic roar sounded as the yellow dragon shot for Li Jingtian. Startled, Li Jingtian flicked his hand in a rush, sending a black dragon to meet the attack.

Necro Dragon Chained Claw!

Black claws came at the yellow dragon, sharp enough to whistle through the air as they approached. However, the yellow dragon still came at him relentlessly.

Bam!

The deafening sound made the others cover their ears. Whether mistakenly or not, they even heard sounds of tearing.

The next moment, they saw Li Jingtian spit blood, his body powerless as he fell to the ground. The black dragon soul had also vanished…

“Elder Li!” Luo Yunhai shouted, his eyes shaking.

Just then, a black figure flashed before Li Jingtian, holding him before he collapsed.

Qiu Yanhai sensed the faint breath in Li Jingtian and roared, “Old bat, take young master and the others away from here. Elder Li’s soul must be almost shattered. The four old guys are impossible to deal with as we are. Hurry up and get out of here!”

“Sure, old coot.”

Whoosh~

In a flash of white, Xue Qingjian came to Qiu Yanhai. With her white silk, she wrapped it around them and left. “Sages, protect us!”

The sages’ mouth twitched, but sighed.

How were they supposed to do that against such an opponent? But when it came to Clan Head’s safety, it was their duty.

“Yin-yang Reversal Domain! Soul variant, Yin-yang World Lock!”

The two shouted and made their signs. The rattling of a chain was heard, followed by the coming of one white and one black chains, twisting around and releasing a strange aura.

In a blink, the chains circled around the Heavenly Cycle Elders and locked them in place. The circle was going to move again, but with the chains, it wouldn’t budge.

“How amusing, it’s not just as simple as a mere domain soul.” One elder spoke in amazement.

Another elder nodded, “Yin-yang chain, connecting heaven and earth. It looks like they shrunk their domain, down to the size of a chain, but it is in fact the opposite, they enlarged it. Because the chain’s yin yang energy, connecting the world, it makes us connect with it and taking out power with it, forcing us in place. I never thought these two’s domain soul would have such a variation. Truly amazing.”

“Humph, that’s right. In the Radiant Stage we have comprehended this move and even used it to seal off one true monster.” The sages smiled, recalling the time they had Gu Santong trapped with pride, “Now that we’re in the Ethereal Stage, with domain soul as support, this move is perfected. We refuse to believe you four old coots are worse than that monster and can remove the chains.”

Heaven Sage shouted at the distant couple, “Take Elder Li and Clan Head to a safe place. Leave this to us. We promise to not let these old guys leave this place before the battle is over.”

“As expected of the strongest sages in Tianyu. You truly are reliable, ha-ha-ha…” Qiu Yanhai gave a thumbs up and a laugh.

Luo Yunhai smiled as well, seeing the four old guys trapped.

However, they had no idea how much the sages were suffering.

The reason their domain soul was strong was because of its size, capable of dispersing the enemy’s power.

But now, the domain was the size of a chain. The Heavenly Cycle Elders’ mighty power made them feel a pressure like never before.

While the chains connected the world around them, shifting the pressure, but even that fraction of power left behind was enough to strain every fiber of their being. But they held on, even if their tendons broke.

They knew that if they could not hold the four freaks back, then the Clan Head was dead. That was why they would use their own lives to keep the four here.

However, none around understood this. Some Demon Scheming Sect elders saw the Heavenly Cycle Elders stuck and cried, “These secular cultivators are amazing. They actually trapped the four dragons! This isn’t possible for any Ethereal Stage cultivator in the lower three sects!”

“Yeah, yeah, just how are they so strong? No wonder they’re Steward Zhuo’s aids. They’re as weird as him.”

“But why didn’t they used this move from the start? Why wait for so many to die?”

“Yeah! Was it to show off at the last moment?”

After the admiration faded, suspicion rose. The sages’ faces twitched as they made signs.

[Who the hell would use a last ditch effort if not at the end?]

After this, it’d be a miracle if they were still alive. If not for the Clan Head being in peril, they would’ve never used it.

But how could these fools know? Not even Luo Yunhai and Qiu Yanhai knew this truth. Only Zhuo Fan saw how hard it was, touching his ring.

[Guess I do have to use it after all…]

“Ha-ha-ha, Zhuo Fan, you can’t possible think those two can stop Mystical Heaven Sect’s four guardian dragons, do you? You must be dumber than I thought.”

Zhuo Fan did not get to act as Sect Leader Xuan’s bragging caught his attention, pointing at the four elders, “Just watch and witness true despair!”

The four elders were still sitting with their eyes closed when one started, “Ha-ha-ha, ignorant juniors, don’t get too cocky. Your domain soul might have merit, but it’s nothing to us four.”

The four made different signs and the dragon soaring above increased its speed, sending wave after wave of yellow energy, rattling the yin yang chains.

The sages’ brow furrowed as they made their own signs, “No use! We have joined heaven and ear- ugh!”

Before they finished, their bodies shook and spat blood before slumping to the ground.

Boom!

With an explosion, the yellow energy rippled like a wave and crushed the yin yang chains.

“Ha-ha-ha, our souls are earth dragon souls, born of the earth. While you can make our power touch the world, we can touch upon the earth to resonate with. We drew its power and used the ones we had to attack the chains from both sides. “

The four old guys still sat there in midair. One of them smiled, “It’s not your souls that are weak, it’s because you met us that happened to have the way to deal with you.”

The sages were on the ground, powerless, with barely a breath left in them. Their eyes were filled with regret.

The elders never once looked at them, “The two’s souls are in a worse state and can’t move. We should first deal with those pesky bugs and finish them for good.”

The other three elders nodded.

The four spun once more and moved into the crowd of people, the Ethereal Stage experts of the two sects that were now fighting.

The minute they joined the fray, it spelled doom for the Demon Scheming Sect’s experts. Cries and wails rang everywhere.

Mystical Heaven Sect’s elders were overjoyed. With their sect guardians fighting, the tables had turned. Demon Scheming Sect’s early advantage was now crushed.

The faces of all the people from Demon Scheming Sect was now painted in the bleak colors of despair and regret…
