Yu Yuanzhen stared at him with a dark expression. "Boy, was it you who blew up Crane Mountain and stole my clan's supreme treasure?"
He was not asking Duan Yu at all. The instant he saw Duan Yu, he sensed that the Dragon Bone Fragment, which should have been intimately connected to him, had completely severed its link with him.
It had clearly acknowledged a new master. Having wielded the Dragon Bone Fragment for so many years, Yu Yuanzhen had nurtured it every year, making himself increasingly compatible with the dragon bone.
Yet the bond forged over so many years had been cut off by a stranger in this very moment. How could Yu Yuanzhen not be enraged?
"What a joke."
Duan Yu sneered. "Old fool, what do you mean, your possession? This thing was fated to be mine. It was only right that I obtain it."
"As for that Crane Mountain you mentioned being blown up, he could only blame himself for reaching such an age without gaining any spiritual awareness, for failing to recognize the will of heaven. His death was deserved."
"Old fool, it is not too late for you to move aside obediently. If you remain stubborn, do not blame me for showing no mercy."
Hearing Duan Yu's words, Yu Yuanzhen could not help but freeze. This fellow had infiltrated the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, destroyed Crane Mountain, and stolen his clan's supreme treasure, yet after being discovered, he was still acting so self-righteously.
Yu Yuanzhen was so furious that he laughed. "You are courting death."
He no longer wished to waste words on the man who had turned the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan upside down. He swept his dragon claw toward the sky, and the lightning that had been gathering for so long descended from above, striking toward Duan Yu.
"Why must I be the one to die?"
At that moment, a cool voice rang out.
Immediately afterward, silver light appeared, instantly devouring the endless power of lightning. The lightning filling the sky completely vanished in that instant.
Yu Yuanzhen's pupils contracted at the sight before him. Beside the masked youth, another figure had emerged from the void and stood at Duan Yu's side.
Was that figure not the Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid, who had been hiding in the void all along, afraid that Yu Yuanzhen might find him?
The Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid looked at Yu Yuanzhen and said calmly, "Junior, considering that your cultivation has not come easily, leave now while you still can."
Seeing this unfamiliar aura suddenly emerge from the void, Yu Yuanzhen's expression changed drastically. "Who are you?"
"You need not know who I am."
The Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid said coldly, "Knowing too much will do you no good."
"If you do not cultivate, you see me as a frog at the bottom of a well looking up at the moon. If you cultivate, you see me as a mayfly beholding the azure sky."
"Arrogant!"
Yu Yuanzhen was instantly enraged upon hearing this, and his fourth soul ring lit up.
Thunderstorm!
Lightning filled the sky once again, converging and rushing toward the Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid before exploding the instant it was about to reach him.
The Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid shook his head and flicked out a leaf, swallowing all the lightning into space.
He was not at his peak, so he ordinarily could not have suppressed Yu Yuanzhen. But after Duan Yu returned just now,
he had actually brought back a spatial divine artifact.
Relying on the artifact's own power, together with his understanding and control of space, he instantly drew countless spatial forces to himself to assist him.
Yu Yuanzhen was indeed powerful, but he had not truly grasped the authority of lightning.
He was different. With the divine artifact once wielded by the Spatial Dragon King empowering him,
at least at this moment, he truly held the authority of space. Countless spatial forces obeyed his command.
Yu Yuanzhen had never expected the person before him to be so powerful. When he tried to examine his appearance, an invisible silver radiance blocked his probing, making it impossible for him to determine who this person was.
But Yu Yuanzhen could be certain that this person was absolutely a Super Douluo.
In the present-day continent, there was only one place capable of possessing such an expert.
Spirit Hall!
Yu Yuanzhen stared at the Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid, his eyes flickering as he said, "Are you from Spirit Hall?"
"Spirit Hall?"
The Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid paused, not yet having reacted before Duan Yu at his side took over.
Duan Yu looked at Yu Yuanzhen and sneered. "Yu Yuanzhen, even if you know we are from Spirit Hall, what can you do?"
"Could it be that you still cannot figure out whose order brought us to your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Although he had long harbored suspicions, Yu Yuanzhen was still shocked when he truly heard it.
Had they really acted so soon? In his estimation, even if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan remained neutral, Spirit Hall should not have moved against them this quickly.
Yet Spirit Hall had actually sent a Title Douluo to infiltrate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in advance.
No, if even a Title Douluo had come, then could it be...
At that thought, Yu Yuanzhen's face instantly turned pale, and his seventh soul ring lit up.
A blue thunder dragon shot into the heavens, checking on the condition of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's remaining disciples.
Only after seeing that Spirit Hall had not launched a surprise attack and had merely sent a Title Douluo did he finally let out a breath of relief.
Yu Yuanzhen looked at the two of them, took a deep breath, and said, "Even if you belong to Spirit Hall, you came to my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to steal my clan's supreme treasure. Are you not afraid that we will fight to the death?"
"Pfft."
Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, Duan Yu could not hold back and burst out laughing, staring at him coldly.
"Yu Yuanzhen, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has only one Title Douluo—you. What makes you think you are qualified to fight us to the death?"
Mocked so openly by a junior, Yu Yuanzhen could not endure it even if the other party was from Spirit Hall. Countless bolts of lightning gathered into a mass above the sky and hurtled toward Duan Yu.
"Courting death!"
Before Duan Yu could react, the Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid stepped directly in front of him. Holding the Heavenly Secrets Fan, he traced out one space after another, swallowing Yu Yuanzhen's attack in its entirety.
Seeing his attack devoured, Yu Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes. With a flash step, he rushed before the Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid and clawed at his throat.
The next moment, silver light flashed, and the Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid vanished from where he stood.
After widening the distance, the Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid calmly used the Heavenly Secrets Fan to trace open one Spatial Gate after another.
Spatial Gates spread around Yu Yuanzhen. Not daring to be careless, Yu Yuanzhen unleashed Thunderstorm and blew apart the surrounding Spatial Gates.
Yet whenever one gate was blown apart, another appeared. Under the Heavenly Secrets Fan's tracings, more and more Spatial Gates emerged, gradually compressing Yu Yuanzhen within them.
Moreover, Yu Yuanzhen could feel that whenever he forcibly destroyed a Spatial Gate, part of the damage would be transferred back onto him in backlash.
Yu Yuanzhen could naturally unleash his eighth and ninth soul skills to forcibly shatter these Spatial Gates and turn the battle around, but the gates were interconnected, inseparable from one another.
Unless he shattered them all at once, as long as even one Spatial Gate remained intact, the gates could use spatial force to layer upon one another and transfer and reflect the damage, leaving him as the one to suffer.
While Yu Yuanzhen was still wavering, the energy of the Spatial Gates floating around him suddenly surged at that very moment.
This is... going to explode?!
