A Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler old man said to another Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler, "Old bastard Situ, Golden-striped Silver Snakes possess extraordinary battle prowess and their venom is renowned across the continent. They're not easy to deal with. In my opinion, we should work together and try to kill this Golden-striped Silver Snake in the shortest amount of time possible to prevent him from escaping."
The old man called Situ stared at Nubis as if he had discovered a huge treasure trove. Undisguised greed filled his eyes as he strangely laughed, "The entire body of every ancient beast is a treasure. Since we've come across one today, we can't miss this opportunity. Old bastard Ma Teng, let's do as you say. We'll work together and kill this Golden-striped Silver Snake in the shortest amount of time possible using the most effortless method possible. Then we'll take his monster core and body."
Old bastard Ma Teng rubbed his hands together. He was about to obtain another Class 7 Monster Core, which filled him with uncontainable excitement. After all, Saint Force surged from his right hand and quickly condensed into a two-meter-long scythe. He turned to the other three Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers and said, "They're all Jianchen's companions, and one of them seems to be Jianchen's senior, so we can't let any of them go. I'll leave the other two to you. If we can capture them and use them to threaten Jianchen, we'll be able to complete our mission much more easily."
"Don't worry, brother. Leave the other two to us," sneered a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler old man among the three remaining people.
Bi Hai and the other two heard every single word of their conversation, causing their expressions to become extremely solemn. With their strength, it was impossible for them to be a match for the five people in front of them.
Nubis was also extremely stern. Although the Golden-striped Silver Snake possessed extraordinary battle prowess, he could only deal with one Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler at most as a Third Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. If two Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers attacked him at the same time, it would be extremely difficult for him to deal with them. He was not their opponent at all.
"You dare to make an enemy out of the Flame Mercenaries? Don't you know that the Flame Mercenaries have the backing of the Great Elder of Mercenary City?" Jiede Tai shouted in a deep voice, attempting to use the name of the Great Elder of Mercenary City to intimidate the five people.
However, the five people knew nothing about the Flame Mercenaries, so they did not believe Jiede Tai's words at all. Situ Gui looked at Jiede Tai in disdain and said, "What kind of status do you think the grand elder of Mercenary City has? Why would he have anything to do with a tiny mercenary group like yours? Do you really think we're as gullible as three-year-olds? Hmph, old bastard Ma Teng, let's go together. Let's get the monster core of the Golden-striped Silver Snake first." With that, Situ Gui took out his Saint Weapon and charged toward Nubis. Ma Teng, who was also a Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler, followed behind him. They worked together to deal with Nubis.
The other three Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers did not fall behind either. They charged toward Jiede Tai and Bi Hai at the same time. Two of them dealt with Bi Hai, who was at the same level as them, while the last one dealt with Jiede Tai, who was only at the Third Heavenly Layer.
The battle between the eight Saint Rulers erupted in the air above the imperial palace of the Flame Mercenaries. As soon as they clashed, a thunderous boom rang through the surroundings. Powerful ripples of energy wreaked havoc in the surroundings, spreading in all directions with a devastating force. The imperial palace and the entire city below were affected by the shockwaves. Countless buildings collapsed as dense cracks appeared on the streets. The countless merchants and mercenaries in the city felt like the end of the world had arrived. They all fled into the distance while covering their heads to avoid being affected by the shockwaves. However, there were still many people who were injured by the collapsing buildings in the surroundings. The entire city was thrown into chaos in a single moment.
In the sky, the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great. After a few rounds, the weakest, Jiede Tai, was injured by his opponent. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell from the sky, losing the ability to continue fighting. Bi Hai was completely suppressed by the two opponents who were at the same level as him. He was at a disadvantage. All he could do was block and not fight back. Nubis was the same. He was firmly suppressed by the two Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers.
"Hiss!" Suddenly, a soul-rending cry rang out from Nubis' mouth. Nubis quickly transformed into a magical beast. A ten-thousand-meter-long golden snake hung in the air as he engaged in an intense battle with the two Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers.
Nubis' battle prowess was even greater in his magical beast form. Using the advantage of his ancient beast form and the famed poison of the Tian Yuan Continent, he was able to fight the two Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers to a stalemate for now.
However, the two Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers struck out as hard as they could without holding back, suppressing Nubis once again. All he could do was block. He could not fight back at all.
Bi Hai was outnumbered in the end. He was injured by his opponents before long. He vomited blood as he fell from the sky, slamming into the ground heavily and creating two craters.
Nubis vomited blood as he was knocked far away by the two Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers.
Old Situ hovered in the air as he coldly stared at the three injured Bi Hai. He sneered, "Capture them. I refuse to believe that Jianchen won't come back with them as hostages. Old Ma Teng, the two of us will go and take the monster core of the Golden-striped Silver Snake."
Immediately, two Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers flew toward Bi Hai and Jiede Tai, while the two Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers, Ma Teng and Situ Yun, continued toward Nubis.
"Hmph, how can I let you act so arrogantly with this old woman here?"
At this moment, an old voice boomed in the surroundings. A presence even greater than the five Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers suddenly appeared. An old woman with a dragon-headed staff silently appeared in the air, blocking the path of the two Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers.
The expressions of the two Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers drastically changed when they sensed the tremendous presence from the old woman. One of them immediately growled, "Who are you?"
The old woman stared sharply at Old Devil Situ and Old Devil Ma Teng. A disdainful sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. She did not answer them. Instead, she gently tapped the Dragon Head Walking Stick in her hand. An invisible force of the world immediately shot out from the Dragon Head Walking Stick and headed straight for the two people.
The two Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers knew how powerful the old woman was, so they did not dare to be careless. They also swung their Saint Weapons forward with the invisible Force of the World.
The invisible forces of the world collided in the air, but there was no sound at all. Similarly, there was no violent shockwave of energy that spread out. One could only see the space there shake violently and tremble. Soon after, the space was torn apart, revealing a head-sized black hole. Starlight flickered in the black hole.
The old woman stood there without moving while the two Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers' faces became ashen. They grunted with great difficulty as they quickly retreated.
However, before they could control their bodies, the old woman who was in front of them appeared behind them without them noticing. The dragon-headed staff in her hand merged with space and swung out in a seemingly light manner, hitting the backs of the two old men like lightning.
Spurt! The two Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers became extremely fragile at that moment. They vomited blood as their faces paled in a single moment. Afterward, their gazes toward the old woman became filled with shock.
