"Look at that kid. Could he have been scared witless?"
Seeing that Xie Fang remained seated motionless on the Ink Kirin's back, the Dragon Clan member's thoughts stirred. Could I have been wrong before? If so, once I swallow this kid, all the Merit will be mine!
At the thought, delight began to rise in his heart. But before he could laugh aloud, Xie Fang raised his right hand and softly uttered:
"Slash!"
A mighty Golden Ruler Shadow flickered into being, its power surging as it swept across the sky with the force to cleave heaven and earth!
"Hmph. Still resisting!"
Once the seed of contempt had been planted in his heart, this Dragon Clan member was already not far from death.
Where the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner passed, the air split with a shrill whistle. Fierce winds howled, and space twisted!
But the next moment—
Xie Fang swung his true form, the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, down in a furious strike. With a roaring rush of water, it directly cleaved apart the monstrous waves raised by the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner!
A wall of water ten million zhang high shattered in an instant. Countless droplets rained down, crashing furiously into the East Sea!
"This Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner is pretty good. Too bad it's mine now!"
Xie Fang's icy voice rang out. In the space of a single exchange, he suddenly clenched his right hand into a fist, and a Silver Giant Hand appeared out of thin air, gripping the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner in the Golden Dragon's hand!
"Come here!"
As his low shout fell, the Golden Dragon felt an immense force suddenly slam into him. His grip on the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner loosened against his will, and with a whoosh, the banner flew toward Xie Fang!
"No—"
The Golden Dragon's eyes flew wide open as he stared in disbelief at his treasure, which was flying away from him beyond his control!
His connection to the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner was also gradually severing!
"You're a Grand Unity Golden Immortal too. How can you do this?!"
The Golden Dragon cried out in shock.
Generally speaking, there were only two ways to forcibly seize someone else's treasure.
First, the owner had to be dead.
Second, the owner's power and cultivation had to far surpass your own!
The Golden Dragon was still very much alive, so there could only be one other possibility!
His opponent's power and cultivation far surpassed his own!
But in the Golden Dragon's eyes, the young man riding the Ink Kirin was also a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. What made him so much stronger?
However, he would never get the chance to figure it out!
The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler's enormous shadow swept down through the air. With a resounding clang, it struck the Golden Dragon across the waist!
Clang—
A metallic ring rang out. The dragon scales, impervious to blades and spears, were cleaved open, leaving a hideous gash!
Scalding dragon blood spurted out, instantly staining the entire surface of the East Sea red!
"Aaaaah—!"
Struck across the waist, the Golden Dragon bled without stopping and let out a hoarse scream of agony!
Only the one suffering such heart-rending pain could truly understand it!
"You—you deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
In his agony, the Golden Dragon roared hoarsely, wishing he could immediately grind Xie Fang's bones to dust!
"Unfortunately for you, you're the one who'll die!"
Xie Fang gripped the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner in one hand, a fierce glint flashing through his eyes!
The Dragon Clan had long been accustomed to throwing its weight around in the Primordial World. Every one of the Primordial World's hundred clans knew it.
The other clans feared the Dragon Clan's power, so they dared not speak out against its domineering ways, no matter how angry they were!
But Xie Fang wasn't going to indulge them!
With a cold snort, he activated more than thirty Sea-Calming Pearls, unleashing the power of the Primordial Heavens!
Rumble—
The Golden Dragon didn't even have time to react before he was directly crushed beneath their power!
A powerful shock wave suddenly spread outward, sweeping across the sea. For an instant, the waters within a radius of a hundred million li stood still, then surged up in monstrous waves millions of zhang high!
The commotion was so great that it affected the entire East Sea!
"Aah—!"
The Golden Dragon had time for only one scream before he was crushed beneath the attack!
The next instant, Xie Fang appeared directly above the Golden Dragon's head.
"No, you can't kill me. You can't kill me..."
The Golden Dragon's consciousness was already close to fading, but his survival instinct still made him mumble, "You can't kill me. If you do, you'll form an irreconcilable karmic bond with the Dragon Clan. They'll never rest until you're dead..."
"Is that so?"
Xie Fang sneered and shouted, "Then let them come!"
As his shout fell, a flash of golden light appeared, followed by a muffled thud!
Then scalding dragon blood sprayed through the air, and the enormous dragon head shot skyward!
"Master... Master actually killed a Golden Dragon who was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!"
Mo Wu was dumbstruck. He couldn't help sucking in a sharp breath. "Hiss! Master's really picked a fight with the Dragon Clan!"
Whether to pick a fight with the Dragon Clan or not, Xie Fang didn't care. His true form was the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, and killing left no karmic consequences for him. The Dragon Clan might hold an important place in the history of the Primordial World, but what did that have to do with him?
As for the Dragon Clan coming after him...
Let them come. He'd been worrying about how difficult it was to harvest Experience Points!
A moment later, Xie Fang put away the now-ownerless Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner and calmly landed back on Mo Wu's back. "Keep going."
Mo Wu stared at him, dumbfounded by his calm demeanor.
But a moment later, he came back to his senses.
Whatever happened, the Dragon Clan member was dead. Since he had already acknowledged Xie Fang as his master, he would devote himself wholeheartedly to following him!
Mo Wu quickly composed himself, then set off at a gallop toward the Three Immortal Islands, in the direction Xie Fang had indicated.
Xie Fang's final strike that killed the Golden Dragon shook the entire East Sea!
Many members of the Dragon Clan in the East Sea also learned of the news.
Soon, word reached Ancestral Dragon!
Over the East Sea, monstrous waves surged beneath waters stained crimson!
Suddenly!
The sea grew restless. A moment later, a middle-aged man with a stern face and a burly build, two dragon horns atop his head, appeared above the surface!
Although the Ferocious Beast Tribulation was still underway, this man had already made a great name for himself in the Primordial World!
He was none other than Ancestral Dragon, one of the few Quasi-Saints in the Primordial World!
Ancestral Dragon had only recently advanced to the Quasi-Saint realm. He had intended to sweep across the Primordial World with his Quasi-Saint cultivation, but then he discovered that a living being had killed a Dragon Clan Grand Unity Golden Immortal in the East Sea!
Sensing what had happened, he immediately came to the sea where the battle had taken place.
Unfortunately, the culprit had long since vanished.
"Four Seas Tribes, hear my Imperial Decree! Pass down the order at once: if you discover this person's whereabouts, report them to me immediately. I'll personally take action and restore the Dragon Clan's prestige!"
His furious shout rang out, spreading throughout the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands and echoing across the heavens!
Then, using his great supernatural powers, Ancestral Dragon followed the trace of energy Xie Fang had left behind and divined his appearance. He turned it into a portrait and forcibly projected it into the minds of every living being among the Four Seas Tribes!
He would make every living being in the Four Seas search for the murderer!
Once they found him, Ancestral Dragon would skin him, pull out his sinews, and grind his bones to dust!
Anyone who dared to challenge the Dragon Clan's dignity would learn that the Dragon Clan was not to be provoked!
