âThatâs... thatâs my eye!â
With just a look, Long Jiu saw through the secret of crowâs eye. He used to move unhindered thanks to that same eye and even earned the name Godeye Long Jiu.
But the godeye was now his enemyâs weapon to be used against him.
âI-impossible!â Long Jiu shook his head in denial.
Jian Fanâs laughter was unrestrained, âLong Jiu, did you ever think that your precious Purple Lightning Gold Eye will one day be put to use on my demonic creature? If you want to kill me, youâll have to first overcome this eye.â
Then he began making hand signs.
The crow flew and purple light glinted in its golden eye, rumbling as it charged at Long Jiu.
âWatch out!â
The blond elder woke Long Jiu out of his stupor in time to defend with his Dragon Sword.
Boom!
Long Jiu was struck down by one purple lightning after another and was blown away coughing blood.
The two elders rushed to Jian Fan in panic. They knew that as long as Jian Fan stopped his hands, the crow would stop moving.
But how could Jian Fan not see such an obvious flaw?
Sneering, he gestured again and caused two explosions, the purple lightning struck the two elders. They bore the brunt as it sent them flying and blood leaked from their mouths.
Zhuo Fan was shocked by how vicious the Purple Lightning Gold Eye was. It was only in 3rd Heaven and it could already outclass a Profound Heaven expert.
As matters stood, Veiled Dragon Pavilion would lose, and the Luo clan would be next.
âNo, I cannot let that happen.â
Squinting, Zhuo Fan gnashed his teeth and pointed, sending a red light at Jian Fan.
He was taking a huge gamble. If Blood Infant was found out, it would die in a blink from the purple lighting, and him along with it.
But if he stood at the sidelines, the Luo clan would be sure to fall for good.
Zhuo Fan hardened his heart and sent the Blood Infant on the offensive.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jian Fan was focused on Veiled Dragon Pavilionâs three elders and was oblivious to the incoming danger.
âHa-ha-ha, Purple Lightning Gold Eye is awesome. Not even together are you three fools its match.â The crow flew back to Jian Fanâs shoulder as he cackled.
The two men in black flew to either side of Jian Fan and grinned.
The three Veiled Dragon Pavilion eldersâ faces darkened. The enemy looked down on them despite acting together. This was the first time this ever happened.
If they lost here today, Veiled Dragon Pavilionâs reputation would be thrown into the mud, all thanks to them.
âDonât think you can win with a damn demonic creature and a stolen eye, Condor.â The blond elderâs eyes flashed golden and exploded with killing intent.
âOld Jiu, old Wu, stay here. I will take their heads.â
While shocked, the red-haired elder saw the determination in his eyes and nodded, as did Long Jiu.
As they were all elders of Veiled Dragon Pavilion, they knew the blond old manâs true power.
Once the Devastating Gold Dragon was enraged, he would split the earth and shatter the heavens. During the time when Long Jiu had his eye, there were three people in Veiled Dragon Pavilion he couldnât beat.
st and 2nd elder were the first two, while the last was the enraged 3rd elder.
Whoosh!
A dazzling golden light shined and started covering him with a thick film, like a golden armor. Each time his finger moved, it let out a metallic sound.
Jian Fanâs face turned grave, picking up on the threat to his life the old manâs change promised.
âAllow me to educate you that the name of Devastating Gold Dragon isnât an empty title.â
The blond elder formed claws with his hands, all the while radiating in gold and staring at Jian Fan with a cold gaze. Then he rushed at Jian Fan. In his charge, the elder brought his hands together, just like scissors.
Roar!
A dragon roar echoed in the pitch-black night. Jian Fan saw the blond elder appeared surrounded by the image of a huge dragon.
It unclenched its jaws and followed the blond elderâs claws to swallow the three enemies whole.
âHigh spirit ranked martial art, Devouring Dragon Claw!â
Startled, Jian Fan hastened his hand gestures to control the crowâs Purple Lightning Gold Eye.
Boom! And a purple light flashed!
But this time, when the lightning fell on the dragon, it bounced off like a bullet, not even able to slow it down.
Jian Fan panicked, unable to believe that the blond elder would be so strong that he could deflect Purple Lightning Gold Eyeâs attack. But he did notice how the dragonâs golden aura dimmed.
âHell Chains!â
Jian Fan and his two men moved together. Tens of black chains flew from their arms and fell on the dragon like a dark cloud.
The chains tightened and the dragon body was rendered motionless under their vise, yet the dragon still lingered, wanting to press on the attack.
âYouâre not Veiled Dragon Pavilionâs 3rd elder for nothing, needing all three of us to hold you back.â
Jian Fan gave his all in grasping the black chains along with his men. They even began to sweat.
The 3rd elder gnashed his teeth, his lips curling in disdain, âYou think the three of you couldâve held me if not for the Purple Lightning Gold Eye?â
âHe-he-he, youâre right. We still have the Purple Lightning Gold Eye.â
Jian Fan snickered, now that 3rd elder reminded him, he used the hand that held the black chains to make hand signs. With a cawing sound, purple lightning flashed.
The 3rd elderâs scalp went numb.
Both sides were in a deadlock. If the purple lighting hit, it would spell heavy wounds, if not death.
âThird brother!â
Long Jiu and the red-haired elder were nervous, rushing to help despite not making it in time.
Seeing 3rd elderâs fate sealed under the purple lightning, Jian Fan grinned.
It was at this moment when Zhuo Fan, who was just a hundred feet away, showed a mystifying smile.
âUsing this chaos, Iâll take your life. I canât have the Veiled Dragon Pavilion lose such an important battle!â
Zhuo Fanâs killing intent spiked as his hand moved. The Blood Infant lying in wait just around the corner sprung up from its hiding place, aiming for Jian Fan. With Jian Fan and his two men focused on 3rd elder, they were oblivious to the impending danger.
âHe-he-he, die, 3rd elder!â
Jian Fan cackled as the crowâs eye spilled purple lightning. But then a sudden flash of red entered his body and felt his breath hampered, dispelling the black chains from his hand.
âElder Jian, what are you doing?â His two men jumped in fright.
Jian Fan found something burrowing in his body and wanted to expel it but it was too late...
rd elder pressed his advantage and exploded with power.
Roar!
The dragon burst out of the chains and bit down.
The two menâs eyes squinted as they fled. But the pitiful Elder Jian was rooted in place thanks to Blood Infantâs control. The next instant, an arm flew way up high.
rd elder grabbed it and stood with pride as he laughed at the one-armed Jian Fan and his men.
âCurse you. Veiled Dragon Pavilion went as far as refining demonic creatures to make a sneak attack...â
Jian Fan clenched his teeth as his heart bled with grief. Thinking how a veteran demonic cultivator as himself was hampered by a demonic creature left a bad taste in his mouth. Would he get any respect from others now? What was even worse was that this was done by righteous cultivators.
âLetâs go!â
Jian Fan knew he lost the advantage and there was nothing to gain from fighting a losing battle.
Yet Long Jiu wasnât one to let them go.
âAfter them!â
rd elderâs feelings were mutual and shouted while pursuing them.
The Blood Infant returned inside Zhuo Fan without anyoneâs knowledge. He smiled. [Itâs best for Hell Valley to put this blame on Veiled Dragon Pavilion. Their hatred isnât light anyway and a bit more wonât affect them.]
Zhuo Fan justified his actions.
Just that he couldnât help the Purple Lightning Gold Eye to catch his attention.
âOne way or another, Iâll have to get it.â Zhuo Fan rubbed his chin as his eyes roamed around. Few things caught the Demonic Emperorâs eye, and the Celestial Emperorâs Purple Lightning Gold Eye happened to be one of them.
âKill!â
But then, a group of men in black charged into Veiled Dragon Pavilion. They were all Bone Tempering experts.
However, Veiled Dragon Pavilion had a contingency in place and Long Jie led his own team to repel the enemies. Mere moments after the two sides clashed, Long Kui came out to meet them with her own team from the small courtyard.
During the Profound Heaven expertsâ battle, they remained hidden, waiting for the right moment to strike. They waited for all of Hell Valleyâs men to charge in so they could kill them all in one go.
Hell Valley acted as if they didnât expect an ambush and retreated with Long Jie and Long Kui hot on their tails.
No sooner did they retreat after the initial âattackâ, leaving the Luo clan and the ones in the small courtyard.
âArenât they baiting?â
Zhuo Fan was calm, having known Hell Valleyâs plan. He was waiting for the true mastermind to come out.
Soon after, Yang Ming appeared leading Blackwind Mountain bandits.
Zhuo Fan smirked, âHell Valley had paid a heavy price to have the Lei clan wipe out the Luo clan. I wonder how far are they willing to go?â
