Chapter 490: Fighting a King

All of them were on high alert, their senses were heightened, but how could they possibly be more sensitive than the King ranked expert who had a spiritual body?

Kick of the Forgotten Kings!

Devouring Fist!

Xue Wei instantly launched an offense, his attack was lethal and aimed for the King's vital points, but the King just sneered and sidestepped slightly, causing the two attacks, and their gales of energy, to bypass him.

Sensing that these attacks were useless to this King, Xue Wei's face turned grim, but he did not give up. Although the attacks contained a lot of his strength, they were not his complete ability. He was still in his human shape, and he had not used any of his elemental energies yet.

Xue Wei smiled wryly. It seemed that this was going to become a tough fight, and injuries should not be able to be avoided, but he was not too worried about himself. Instead, he was full of worry for his friends.

Xue Wei gripped the Qi sword in his hand and launched another attack. This time he was using the thunder and wood Qi, merging them together, and his attacking power increased drastically.

Twenty-Seven-Layer Azure Sword!

This was amongst his strongest attacks while still in human shape, and he unleashed wave after wave of sword energy merged with elemental Qi at the King.

The King raised an eyebrow in surprise; this was indeed a rather good attack. If he were still a Saint, it would likely reap his life, but he was a King now; this attack, although stronger than the previous ones, did not pose too much danger to him.

The King reached out his hand, and he grasped the energy waves that were approaching him. He clenched his hand, and the wave was crushed, the energy leaking to every side, and not causing any damage to him, apart from a slight cut on his hand, where a few drops of blood oozed out.

Azure Dragon Full Transformation!

Xue Wei understood that as long as he relied on his human shape, he would never be able to deal with this man. His body began sprouting scales, growing in size; his fingers turned into claws, and his eyes became vertical slits.

The King ranked expert was surprised when he saw this. He was an upper ranked expert in the Xiyang Continent, so naturally, he knew about the four clans of the Sovereign Beasts, and the Azure Dragons were the most mysterious amongst them all.

It was said that they were extinct, and that they could not be found, but now one of them had appeared in front of him.

The King ranked expert narrowed his eyes with a grin. He had lost his killing intent; he was looking at Xue Wei with greed instead.

The Sovereign Beasts were selling well in the Xiyang Continent. Although they could not be tamed yet, they could be used as a means to show off their strength and fame. Anyone who owned a Sovereign Beast was amongst the top of the upper class, but so far, the only Sovereign Beasts they could own were the Vermilion Birds, which were of the lower bloodline purity.

Now, an Azure Dragon had appeared in front of him; he would be an idiot not to capture him and sell him.

But it was clear that this man was arrogant and prideful. He would never allow himself to get caught, so the King began to counterattack.

He did not dare use any of his martial arts techniques, as he feared that they would simply kill him or cripple him. He thrust out a fist, ready to land it on Xue Wei's shoulder blade, but Xue Wei, who was now a big dragon, was not so easy to attack

Life Scale Shield!

A green shield appeared around him, blocking the fist thrown his way, but while it could block it once or twice, the third time the King slammed his hand into the shield, it cracked and collapsed.

Xue Wei's eyes were solemn. He sent a quick glance at Lan, and the deity instantly understood what he wanted to say.

"All of you stay with me," he said to Xue Wei's friends, not letting them advance to try and save Xue Wei.

"I will keep him alive, but if you guys also try to join in on the fun, he will be even less likely to focus on the fight. Right now, he has to learn his limits, so the rest of you stay here with me and do not move."

Hei Gou's hands were tightly clenched, but he nodded his head with a heavy mind. He understood that this battle was necessary for Xue Wei, but he had a bad feeling about it.

Luoluo's face was also pale, and she was biting her lower lip in distress. She could feel the energy fluctuations easily, and the energy that Xue Wei commanded was mighty, but next to the King, it was truly insignificant.

While Xue Wei was commanding energy, the King aura felt as if the entire nature was aiding him in his attacks, and he was not even using any martial art techniques.

The King ranked expert's fist connected with the scales on Xue Wei's body, and while the scales were sharp like razors, they did not manage to provide much protection.

Scales cracked, and blood began oozing out of Xue Wei's body, but he refused to give up.

He looked at the King ranked expert with furious eyes, and he refused to succumb even when he was faced with overwhelming strength.
