You'd Get Beaten to Death If You Came Back Now, Wouldn't You?

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid watched this unfold, rooted to the spot in stunned disbelief, its eyes wide.

"What the hell is this? Why did it suddenly cause such a huge commotion? Duan Yu isn't even here, is he?"

Tonight's disturbance was far greater than last night's, immediately drawing the attention of the entire sect.

The first to sense that something was wrong was naturally Yu Yuanzhen. The instant he detected True Dragon Mountain shaking and the Dragon Bone Fragment vanishing, he rushed toward True Dragon Mountain.

Sensing that aura drawing ever closer, Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid's expression changed.

"You little rat, you truly have a death wish, daring to set your sights on our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."

Before Yu Yuanzhen even arrived, his voice had already carried over from afar, instantly locking down the entirety of True Dragon Mountain.

Countless bolts of lightning fell from the heavens, forming a colossal thunder dragon that looked down upon the ground from the sky.

The place the giant dragon was staring at was precisely where Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid was!

Seeing Yu Yuanzhen's imposing display, Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid's face paled. At Yu Yuanzhen's speed, he would likely arrive before long.

Before he could react, Yu Yuanzhen's voice came again.

"The game of hide-and-seek is about to end. Are you still not coming out? If you don't, I'm afraid you won't even leave behind an intact corpse."

"To hell with you."

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid cursed inwardly. If I were at my peak, I wouldn't even let you catch a glimpse of me.

Oh no, Duan Yu hadn't returned yet. If he came back and ran into Yu Yuanzhen, wouldn't he be finished?

With that thought, Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid did not hesitate. He withdrew the spatial barrier. Layers upon layers of space concealed Duan Yu's aura, and the very second Yu Yuanzhen arrived, he slipped into the void.

Sure enough, Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid had barely vanished when Yu Yuanzhen appeared. The thunder dragon plunged down, blasting the spot where Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid had just been into a hundred-meter-wide crater.

Looking at that massive crater, Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid's face flashed with panic.

Good thing he had run quickly. Otherwise, that strike would have truly smashed him to death.

Yu Yuanzhen looked at the empty ground, coldness flashing through his eyes.

His domain covered all of True Dragon Mountain. He was certain that person had absolutely not left yet.

Lightning flared brilliantly behind Yu Yuanzhen, and an invisible pressure filled the surroundings, making even Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid, who had already escaped into the void, feel immense strain.

On True Dragon Mountain.

One man and one blade of grass faced off across the void.

Unable to find the culprit no matter what, Yu Yuanzhen's eighth soul ring lit up.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon shot into the skies and began circling overhead. With every circuit it made, the dark clouds above gathered a little more densely.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's eighth soul skill, Wrath of Thunder—transforming the body into lightning.

Thunder filled a radius of ten li. At that moment, the lightning itself could be said to be his eyes.

This could already be considered a soul skill that touched upon the level of a domain. Its power was unquestionably formidable.

First Crane Mountain had been blown up, and then the Dragon Bone Fragment had been stolen.

The incidents of the past two days had driven Yu Yuanzhen's fury to its peak.

Even a cornered rabbit would bite, let alone a dragon.

At that moment, the strength of a level ninety-five Super Douluo was fully revealed. Above the heavens, lightning filled the skies and roared without end.

The thunder shook heaven and earth. Countless dark clouds gathered over True Dragon Mountain, and with a single thought from Yu Yuanzhen, this strike containing the wrath of a level ninety-five Super Douluo would descend.

Yet what shocked Yu Yuanzhen was that despite using his eighth soul skill, he still could not find that person's location.

How was that possible?

Given Yu Yuanzhen's strength, he could naturally sense that the soul power of the person who had fled was far below his own. They might not even have been a Soul Douluo.

But the facts were right before him. That person had somehow completely cut off his detection. No matter how Yu Yuanzhen searched, he could not find a trace of them.

Rather than saying Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid had hidden himself and evaded Yu Yuanzhen's detection, it would be more accurate to say that he had merged into the void and become one with space.

As a rare spatial-type Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, even though he was now beneath another and had lost much of his strength,

his understanding and command of space would not disappear along with that loss of strength.

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid could say with complete confidence:

If Yu Yuanzhen wanted to find him, he either had to break through to the Moon-Touching Realm and touch, then comprehend, that trace of spatial power.

Or he had to wait here for Duan Yu to suddenly appear, forcing him to reveal himself.

There was no way Yu Yuanzhen could break through so suddenly. As for Duan Yu...

That kid shouldn't be coming back so soon, right?

The instant Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid finished thinking that, he sensed the surrounding space begin to ripple and leap as though it had gained a soul.

This was... that kid had returned already?!

When Duan Yu was absent, spatial power regarded him as supreme, and countless strands of spatial power gathered around him.

But now that Duan Yu had returned, spatial power would return to Duan Yu. That meant Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid could no longer merge with space.

If that happened, both he and that kid would inevitably be exposed before Yu Yuanzhen.

Thinking this, Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid glanced at Yu Yuanzhen again and saw him still standing guard there with a gloomy expression.

"Kid, are you back?!"

Within the void, Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid saw the spatial fluctuations around him slowly move away and gather somewhere nearby. He tried calling out,

"Can you come back later? If you return now, that old dragon might beat both of us to death."

No matter how he called, he received no response from Duan Yu. Just as he was starting to wonder what the kid was doing,

he saw the spatial power moving away from him gradually converge together. Duan Yu was not about to suddenly appear at all.

The spatial power was clearly gathering into a spatial passage to welcome Duan Yu.

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid: "..."

He was starting to want to die. A sudden appearance had already been dangerous, with the risk of being beaten to death by that old dragon.

If he could establish contact with Duan Yu and seize the right moment, he would still have had a chance to escape.

But now, once the spatial passage appeared, that old dragon would see it unless he was blind.

Watching Yu Yuanzhen order sect disciples to gradually seal off the surroundings, Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid immediately began to panic.

What the hell was that kid doing? He had only stolen something, yet he had caused such an enormous commotion.

They were dragons, not monkeys. Teasing dragons would get them beaten to death, wouldn't it?

As more and more spatial power gathered, the spatial passage took shape, instantly drawing Yu Yuanzhen's attention.

"You've got nerve."

Yu Yuanzhen looked at the spatial passage that had appeared out of thin air, coldness flashing in his eyes. He reached forward with a claw, intending to drag whoever was inside out.

But to his surprise, when he grabbed at it, he caught nothing at all?!

Inside the spatial passage, Duan Yu had not even reacted before the Mountain Dragon King tossed him out.

Duan Yu flew out of the passage in a decidedly undignified manner, and then...

he saw Yu Yuanzhen's furious face.
