"Ye Qing, do you really think I'm afraid of you with your mere avatar here?"
The Heaven Pain Elder suddenly sneered. His face was no longer as panicked as before. Instead, he was extremely calm.
If Ye Qing was present in person, the Heaven Pain Elder would not have dared to act so presumptuously. However, it was just an avatar. It probably did not have the same terrifying combat strength as the real body.
"Die!"
A cold light flashed in Ye Qing's eyes. He used a mysterious movement technique and shuttled through the void. He blasted out a Sovereign's Divine Fist!
The avatar did not have a divine artifact, nor had it merged with the Three Thousand Burning Flame. It had not reunited with the real body yet. It had only mastered three types of Mysterious Flames.
However, Ye Qing's avatar was not flustered at all. With his many powerful martial techniques, he was qualified to fight the Heaven Pain Elder head-on!
"You're just an avatar. Do you think you can overturn the heavens?
Ye Qing, today I will take my revenge. I will get back all the pain you've inflicted on me! "
The Heaven Pain Elder sneered. In the previous battle, he had been beaten black and blue. He had lost face in front of the Holy Son and Saintesses.
Now, he thought that bullying Ye Qing's avatar would not be a problem.
"Boom!"
The Heaven Pain Elder stepped forward and blasted out a Heaven Pain Fist. Violent Origin Energy raged around his arm, forming an Origin Energy Storm.
In the face of the Heaven Pain Elder's ferocious attack, Ye Qing blasted out a Sovereign's Divine Fist and forced the Heaven Pain Elder to retreat!
In terms of the power of martial techniques, the Heaven Pain Elder was far inferior to Ye Qing.
"Buzz!"
In the void, a black light curtain formed. It was like a pair of black wings that cut towards the Heaven Pain Elder.
The Heaven Pain Elder's face changed drastically. In the blink of an eye, he screamed as his left arm was cut off by the black light curtain. Blood gushed out!
Cold sweat broke out all over his body. He felt a chill in his heart, as if he had fallen into an abyss!
He did not expect that Ye Qing's avatar would have such combat strength. He could crush him with his Divinity Palace cultivation!
"Stop!"
Not far away, the Ninth Protector bellowed angrily. His body exuded a majestic aura that enveloped Ye Qing.
Under the pressure of the Nine Protectors, Ye Qing's figure paused, and his speed became much slower.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In the distant sky, one figure after another tore through the air and arrived. They were the other eight great protectors of the Dragon clan!
"Even if all nine of you Protectors are here, what do I, Ye Qing, have to fear?"
Ye Qing's lips curved up in a cold smile. His hands began to carve in the void, and a six-star ancient rune instantly took shape. It was a high-grade Body Securing Rune!
Ye Qing's original body could communicate with his doppelgänger at any time. Therefore, he could teach his doppelgänger the method of inscribing high-level Body Securing Runes.
The only thing that could not be taught was the Strange Flame, because the Strange Flame itself needed to be devoured in order to be able to use it.
…
In the distant horizon, Ye Qing was constantly shuttling through space, using Spatial Shrinking to increase his speed.
He had received news from his doppelgänger that Huangfu Lan and his doppelgänger were in a very bad situation, and they urgently needed reinforcements!
Using Spatial Shrinking was the fastest way to travel, but it still required some time.
Fortunately, Ye Qing's original body had obtained a high-grade Body Securing Rune when he was training in the Wanyao Mountain, so he could teach his doppelgänger the method of using it from afar.
…
In the Azure Cloud Empire, in the Dragon clan's Sacred Palace, the Nine Protectors gathered and surrounded Ye Qing's doppelgänger.
Ye Qing was not afraid at all. He stepped into the void and disappeared in an instant.
When he reappeared, Ye Qing was behind the Heaven Pain Elder.
At the same time, the high-grade Body Securing Rune he had inscribed took effect!
The Heaven Pain Elder was about to dodge, but he was suddenly affected by the high-grade Body Securing Rune, and he could not move at all.
His cultivation was only a half-step out of the Aperture Realm, so a high-grade Body Securing Rune could completely immobilize him!
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, Ye Qing punched out violently. The Sovereign's Divine Fist, an upper-grade Spiritual martial skill, contained the will of the Sovereign!
With one punch, there was no suspense. The Heaven Pain Elder died, and his physical body was completely destroyed!
Ye Qing's eyes shone with a sharp light as he swept his gaze across the Nine Protectors. He said in a low voice, "I, Ye Qing, want to leave. Do you dare to stop me?
If my original body is here, the Dragon clan will not be able to rest in peace! "
Ye Qing's eyes were like two sharp swords, sweeping across the entire place. Heaven and earth were filled with coldness.
Even the Nine Protectors of the Dragon clan frowned. They did not want to fight with Ye Qing.
With the Nine Protectors' strength, it would not be difficult for them to deal with Ye Qing's doppelgänger. However, Ye Qing's original body was not here yet!
With Ye Qing's temper, if something happened to his doppelgänger, it would be strange if his original body did not come to seek revenge.
The Nine Protectors looked at each other, and for a moment, the scene froze. They recalled the time when Ye Qing killed the Three Eyed Old Man and Elder Abyss in the Dragon clan's Sacred Palace. The Nine Protectors felt an inexplicable fear!
At that time, Ye Qing's strength was already very terrifying. After the trial in Wanyao Mountain, he would be even stronger!
Weng!
Just as the Nine Protectors were hesitating, a terrifying aura enveloped them from the sky. It was as if the power of heaven and earth had filled the air!
A martial artist in a black robe stepped through the air. His body was emitting black flames, and he was like a demon king. His ferocious aura was unparalleled!
"Ye Qing, you can't leave. And Huangfu Lan, both of you must stay!"
As the martial artist in the black robe descended, the Nine Protectors' expressions were respectful. They stepped forward and bowed, not daring to be negligent!
This martial artist in the black robe was the supreme existence of the Dragon clan in the Azure Cloud Empire. He was the Dragon clan's Patriarch!
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
The Nine Protectors' expressions were respectful. Even their bodies were trembling slightly. In front of the Patriarch's dragon aura, they were under great pressure.
"Our Dragon clan has carefully nurtured Huangfu Lan. We won't let her leave as she pleases!"
The Patriarch's pair of pitch-black eyes emitted two rays of ominous light, projecting a dangerous aura.
"What do you want?"
Ye Qing held Huangfu Lan's jade-like hand and felt a terrifying pressure from all directions.
His body was a seventh-grade Green Lotus. He did not have the Supreme Dragon God's bloodline in his body. He could not rely on the advantage of his bloodline to suppress the Patriarch.
At this moment, Ye Qing's clone was facing an extremely dangerous situation!
The Dragon clan's Patriarch's strength was unfathomable!
"You're just a seventh-grade Green Lotus. I'm not interested in you. As for Huangfu Lan's bloodline, it will be of great help to my breakthrough."
The Patriarch sneered. His entire body was filled with monstrous demonic aura, like an ancient demon dragon!
Ye Qing felt extreme danger from the Patriarch.
At this moment, he had already told his main body about the Dragon clan's situation.
However, his main body still needed time. Even if he continuously used Shrinking Earth to travel, the Dragon clan's sacred palace was still very far away from the Thousand Demon Mountain.
"Our Dragon clan has carefully nurtured Huangfu Lan. Of course, we can't let it go to waste. Let her become my nourishment and help me break through!"
The Patriarch of the Dragon clan sneered. He gathered the demonic aura around him and formed a black chain. In an instant, it bound Huangfu Lan's delicate body!
