Chapter 642 - Clearing the Field Tyrannically

“

Roar

!” The strong sense of threat made the Dragon Marrow roar angrily.

More and more people arrived, and they were getting stronger. If they joined forces, the danger would increase dramatically.

Although the Dragon Marrow couldn’t speak, its furious roar and overpowering divine will sent a clear message of anger that everyone understood.

However, the crowd ignored it.

Now, the Dragon Marrow was trapped in the valley like a cornered animal, with no escape in sight.

The Seventh Young Master’s tyrannical words miffed the Third Dragon Lord. He said coldly, “

Hmph

, what magisterial might. Today, our Dragon God Army will take the Dragon Marrow. Let’s see how you’ll stop me, Seventh Young Master.”

“

Hmph, hmph

. Who cares about the Great Qin Empire? Anyone who dares block me from taking the Dragon Marrow is my enemy. I’ll fight them to the death—kill without mercy!” declared Cao Yuan, the fifth fiend of the Seven Fiends Organization, radiating a fierce aura, completely dismissing the Seventh Young Master’s threat.

The Seventh Young Master trembled in anger but knew that it was impossible to intimidate the Third Dragon Lord and the others with the Great Qin Empire’s name.

While the Great Qin Empire was immensely powerful, with many Heavenly Star realm experts, this matter was related to the Ancient Trial Roads. Behemoths like the Great Qin Empire were strictly forbidden from interfering with the trials.

If they interfered, they would have to face the wrath of the True Martial Academy. Let alone the Great Qin Empire, even the entire Blue Dragon Domain couldn’t survive that.

The True Martial Academy didn’t care about the deadly fights between its potential students. However, if the powerful forces behind them tried to bully the weak, the True Martial Academy would not let them off lightly. And that was why the Third Dragon Lord and the others dared to challenge the Seventh Young Master.

“You people are courting death!” said the Seventh Young Master furiously, a berserk aura erupting from him. Surprisingly, he had already reached the sixth-level Divine Nascent realm.

Ostensibly, he had also been steadily becoming stronger here.

However, the pressure he emanated couldn’t shake the Third Dragon Lord, Cao Yuan, and the others.

The others had also grown stronger. They had made their own advancements, so the idea that the Seventh Young Master’s aura could suppress them was laughable.

Xiao Yan suddenly said, “I say, let’s stop fighting. This Dragon Marrow is just a step away from reaching the eighth-level Divine Nascent realm. If it breaks through, we won’t just fail to get the Dragon Marrow—we’ll be killed on the spot.”

That was the harsh truth.

It was because the Dragon Marrow was so close to advancing to the eighth-level Divine Nascent realm, radiating a terrifying aura, that it had been discovered. Otherwise, it would have remained hidden.

After all, the Dragon Marrow had already developed spiritual intelligence and wasn’t foolish. If it had concealed its aura and gone into hiding, could anyone search this vast area thoroughly enough to find it?

The Seventh Young Master and the others suppressed their rage, understanding that now wasn’t the time to fight.

Otherwise, they would be playing right into the Dragon Marrow’s hands, giving it the time it needed to break through.

With so many experts joining forces, there was still hope of taking it down. Any chance of success would vanish if the Dragon Marrow advanced to the next level.

“Everyone, let’s join forces and wipe out the Dragon Marrow’s spiritual wisdom. After that, whether you can take the Dragon Marrow will depend on your abilities. How does that sound?” Xiao Yan said with a smile, toying with the nine-colored flames in his palm.

“Fine, let’s join forces to get rid of the Dragon Marrow’s spiritual wisdom first,” said Cao Yuan.

“This old man agrees,” said the revered elder from the City Lord Manor.

“I have no objection,” said the Third Dragon Lord, arms crossed.

The Seventh Young Master nodded and said, “Sure, but how do we deal with the others?”

The Third Dragon Lord said with a cold smile, “There’s only so much Dragon Marrow, and it’s barely enough for us. Sharing it with outsiders is out of the question. Why not clear out the rabble first?”

The surrounding people became agitated.

“How could you do this?! The Dragon Marrow is a natural treasure of heaven and earth. Anyone who saw it should have a sha—” said a fourth-level Divine Nascent realm in protest. But before he could finish, a dragon’s claw reduced him to a mist of blood.

“

Hmph

, get lost, all of you. Otherwise, die! A treasure like the Dragon Marrow isn’t something you trash can covet!” the Third Dragon Lord declared, his voice dripping with arrogance.

The brutal display sent waves of fear through the crowd. Many people's expressions shifted instantly, terror written all over their faces.

“All of you, get lost. You want to get your hands on the Dragon Marrow? Just take a look at yourselves. Are you worthy?” Cao Yuan practiced demonic cultivation techniques, so he was also incomparably tyrannical. Drawing his demonic saber, he slashed out at once.

A terrifying saber light tore through space. Those who could not dodge in time were instantly split in half. Not even their divine nascent could escape and was annihilated.

“Ahhh!” Miserable screams rang out.

Many people scattered like startled birds, retreating in panic. Their faces showed anger, but also helplessness.

Despite their numbers, the difference in strength between them and individuals like Xiao Yan was vast. They simply weren’t in the same league and couldn’t withstand even a single blow.

“Leave, all of you.” Xiao Yan casually threw out a nine-colored flame, which instantly swelled into a sea of flames and swept out. The crowd screamed and dodged, retreating in fear.

Xiao Yan wasn’t as ruthless as the Third Dragon Lord and Cao Yuan. After forcing these people back, he did not attack viciously. Instead, he withdrew the nine-colored flames.

“Scram!”

The Seventh Young Master and the revered elder were both ruthless characters. Divine lights shot out from them, obliterating anyone too slow to escape, leaving no corpses behind as the air filled with the stench of blood.

By now, the area was cleared.

Cao Yuan glanced around and noticed Chen Fan’s group standing still, unfazed as though the chaos had nothing to do with them. “Why are you three still standing here? Do you want to die?” he sneered.

Even though he recognized Chen Fan and his companions, the limited amount of Dragon Marrow meant that fewer competitors would lead to a larger share for him.

Though Chen Fan had recently killed three powerful old devils outside the microcosm, showing overwhelming strength, Cao Yuan didn’t take it seriously.

Xiao Yan, the Third Dragon Lord, and the others saw Cao Yuan wanting to clear Chen Fan’s group from the field and none of them said a word, as if they had agreed tacitly to Cao Yuan’s conduct.

Chen Fan was still not qualified to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them.

“You’re talking to me?” Chen Fan looked up, his cold gaze was like two sharp swords, rushing into Cao Yuan’s eyes and making his soul tremble.
