56: Chapter 55 Sneak Attack

The North Dragon King and West Dragon King lamented: What pig-like teammates!

Hearing this, Qing Shan's expression instantly turned cold.

"You dare to be so disrespectful to the new Dragon Emperor!"

The South Dragon King looked disdainful. "A Dragon Emperor at the Dou Huang Realm? If word gets out, our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, as the overlords of the Demonic Beasts, would lose all face! When that time comes, other clans will only mock our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan for having no one left!"

After speaking, he turned his head carelessly and shouted at the North Dragon King and West Dragon King, "What are you two still standing there for? Do you really intend to recognize a Dou Huang as the Dragon Emperor? Hurry up and make your move!"

The two Dragon Kings looked helpless.

But things had come to this point; since the South Dragon King had already torn off the mask of civility, there was no point in continuing the charade.

"Qing Shan, I don't know what methods you used to disguise this little girl's Bloodline as that of the Royal Family, but this disguise of yours is far too inferior!"

The West Dragon King also chimed in, "Correct! The daughter of the Dragon Emperor is the future of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. How could she possibly be only at the Dou Huang Realm? It's clear you've intentionally forged her identity, hoping to use the Dragon Emperor's name to seize control of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan!"

"Little girl, today I shall clear the house on behalf of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and let you know the consequences of posing as the Dragon Emperor's descendant!"

The North Dragon King and West Dragon King were much smarter than the South Dragon King. They didn't directly deny Zi Yan's Bloodline; instead, they directly slapped the label of 'imposter' on her.

This way, their move to kill Zi Yan would be justified. They could eliminate the hidden threat while using this excuse to stabilize their subordinates on their respective Dragon Islands and continue being carefree Dragon Kings.

Qing Shan trembled with rage, his face full of fury. He never expected these three Dragon Kings to be so stubbornly unrepentant.

Zi Yan's pure Royal Bloodline was right here. They had clearly sensed it, yet they still refused to acknowledge it.

"This is rebellion! If you dare to lay a hand on the new Dragon Emperor today, when the Old Dragon Emperor returns, he will absolutely not let you off!"

The Three Great Dragon Kings looked at each other, their faces showing a ruthless expression.

They knew in their hearts that splitting the Dragon Island and oppressing the East Dragon Island were already capital offenses. Now, adding the crimes of offending the Dragon Emperor's daughter and intending to murder the Dragon Emperor's descendant, they would never survive if Zhu Kun truly returned.

There was no turning back once the arrow was shot. Since they had already shed all pretenses, they might as well go all the way.

They were gambling—gambling that Zhu Kun would never return, and gambling that they could kill Zi Yan and wipe out the East Dragon Island!

The Three Great Dragon Kings simultaneously circulated their Dou Qi. Their figures blurred as they pounced toward Zi Yan and Qing Shan. Three terrifying Dou Qi attacks, carrying destructive power, blasted toward Zi Yan.

Qing Shan stood in front of Zi Yan and barked at the three, "How dare you!"

They were aiming to kill Zi Yan, so they didn't hold back at all. Every attack was at full strength, intending to kill Zi Yan in a single strike.

Qing Shan was only a Two-Star Dou Sheng; it was impossible for him to block them.

Just as the three attacks were about to land on Qing Shan and Zi Yan, and it seemed they were about to be hit, a transparent light curtain suddenly appeared out of thin air, firmly blocking the three attacks outside.

The expressions of the Three Great Dragon Kings changed drastically. Their Dou Qi instantly tensed as they subconsciously scanned the surroundings. Their gazes swept inside and outside the hall, yet they failed to find any trace of the person who had acted.

This was terrifying.

To be able to set up a light curtain under their very noses and hide their presence from being detected meant the opponent's strength was significantly greater than theirs.

The hearts of the Three Great Dragon Kings sank as they thought, 'This is bad!'

Could it be that the Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun had returned? As soon as this thought appeared, a chill rose in their hearts, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

Right at that moment, three sharp attacks rushed from three corners of the hall, accompanied by three low shouts: "Nether Sound Wave Technique!"

The three Four-Star Dou Sheng Elders of the Ling Clan finally stopped hiding and emerged from the shadows.

The moment they acted, they unleashed the Ling Clan's strongest Soul Dou Technique against the Three Great Dragon Kings.

This was a Heaven Rank High-Level Dou Technique of the Ling Clan, which only experts at the Late Stage of the Ling Realm could perform.

Left behind by a Dou Di, its power was not at all inferior to the Huangquan Heavenly Fury.

Combined with the sneak attack, the Three Great Dragon Kings had very little reaction time. By the time they sensed the attacks coming, the Soul Dou Technique was already right in front of them.

"A Soul attack!?" The North Dragon King turned pale with fright.

The Void Ancient Dragons were most proficient in the Physical Body; their physical strength far exceeded experts of the same Realm. Even against a Four-Star Dou Sheng, even if they were no match, they could rely on their physical advantage to barely escape.

But these three Elders of the Ling Clan didn't follow common sense. They didn't attack the Physical Body the dragons were best at, but instead struck directly at their weakest point: the Soul.

The Three Great Dragon Kings used their methods to try and protect their Souls, but the North Dragon King's Soul had barely reached the Early Stage of the Heaven Realm, while the West and South Dragon Kings were only at the Great Perfection of the Ling Realm.

The three soundwaves instantly penetrated their Dou Qi defenses, striking deep into their Souls. Their Souls vibrated violently, and a piercing pain instantly swept through their entire bodies.

A Soul injury was a hundred times more painful than a physical one. The Three Great Dragon Kings simultaneously let out shrill screams: "Ah—!"

Although they didn't fall to the ground, their bodies trembled slightly, and their eyes became somewhat vacant.

Ling Yuan: "Attack together and kill them quickly!"

The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan was naturally proficient in the power of space, and their ability to escape was top-notch.

Now that the Three Great Dragon Kings' Souls were injured, it was the best time to kill them. They had to take their lives while they were down.

Ling Yuan had already instructed the three Elders beforehand, so they didn't waste any words.

They unleashed Soul Dou Techniques one after another, with waves of sound crashing into the Three Great Dragon Kings repeatedly.

The Three Great Dragon Kings had powerful physical bodies, but the three Elders deliberately avoided using Dou Qi to attack their bodies. They focused solely on their Souls, intending to grind their Souls to pieces bit by bit.

Mother Ling and Qing Shan, who were on the side, didn't stay idle either. They immediately circulated their Dou Qi and joined the battlefield to prevent them from escaping.

Three Four-Star Dou Shengs, plus the two Two-Star Dou Shengs Mother Ling and Qing Shan—the five of them formed a tight encirclement, trapping the Three Great Dragon Kings in the center.

Trapped in the middle and enduring continuous Soul attacks, the Three Great Dragon Kings felt an unbearable headache. Their eyes were bloodshot, their Souls felt as if they were being torn apart, and the Dou Qi throughout their bodies began to grow chaotic.

The North Dragon King endured the severe Soul pain and roared at Qing Shan, "Ah! Qing Shan, you set us up! You actually colluded with outsiders to attack your own clansmen!"

The Three Great Dragon Kings endured the pain of their vibrating Souls and their bodies swelled, transforming into three massive Void Ancient Dragons, preparing to flee far away.

They were deep in the heart of East Dragon Island, and the opponent's strength was above theirs.

Fighting was definitely not an option.

If they stayed any longer, death would be their only end.

The Three Great Dragon Kings wanted to escape and join the six Dou Shengs outside, letting them provide cover.

The Third Elder wouldn't give them the chance. He acted directly, his Dou Qi blasting against their bodies.

Being proficient in the Soul didn't mean their Dou Qi attacks were weak.

Between Dou Shengs, a one-star difference was enough to make up for the gap in physical bodies.

With one strike, the three unprepared Dragon Kings were sent flying.

But the Three Great Dragon Kings were determined to run. Even though they were sent flying and injured, they still didn't give up.

They desperately struggled to break through the five-person encirclement and actually managed to force their way through the defensive line, fleeing toward the outskirts of East Dragon Island.
