By the time Black Dragon sensed the soul-body’s abnormality, he could already no longer stop his attack .
His fists slammed into the soul-body’s chest with a bang . . The body, which was already starting to collapse, immediately shattered into three separate souls .
The Yao Emperors’ newly separated soul bodies’ faces contorted with pain, especially the Bear Emperor… . .
His soul was already starting to collapse .
Black Dragon paid them no further attention . Instead, eyes bloodshot, he looked towards Dragon City .
“Who the hell did this?”
He was furious .
Of course, he wasn’t angry because he’d suffered a loss at the soul-body’s hands . Rather, he was angry because someone ruined his good time before he got to fight to his heart’s content .
Black Dragon was so furious, he looked up to the sky and roared . Meanwhile, the moment the soul-body started acting strange… . .
Li Jiayi glanced at the Three Emperors’ physical bodies and saw that bulky bear clansmen standing in front of them, the one who’d been making impertinent remarks earlier . She didn’t know when he’d gotten there, but his bear claws had already pierced right through the Bear Emperor’s chest .
At that moment, there was no need to fuss about just who let him in . Besides, Li Jiayi had no right to blame the human experts .
After watching them fuse, even she herself had been totally transfixed by the Three Emperors’ fight with Black Dragon .
Besides, the Three Emperors were here to rescue them . No one would have guessed that someone would try something like this .

“Take him away!” Li Jiayi shouted furiously . It wasn't just the humans, though: the people of the Beast Region charged at him as well .
That bastard… .
He’d killed them all!
“Hahaha, die! Die, you filthy half beastmen!” that bear clansmen laughed hysterically . His hands were stained with the Bear Emperor’s blood .
“Kill him!” The people of the Beast Region shouted in fury, but there was absolutely no need for them to do anything . Black Dragon had already appeared in front of them, his eyes bloodshot
“It was you, wasn’t it?” he shouted darkly, then glared, wide-eyed . The bear clansmen, currently restrained by several human experts, exploded into a bloody mist before their very eyes .
This all happened so suddenly, neither human nor beast clansmen could react in time .
It wasn’t until the bulky man died right in front of them that their hearts clenched .
Black Dragon had come . ”
Although they’d been going on this whole time about fighting to the bitter end, at that moment, none of them said anything . They just stood on the ground, frozen, their bodies trembling uncontrollably .
Gust after gust of cold wind blew towards them . In an environment so quiet, you could practically hear the sound of falling leaves, all of them could clearly discern Black Dragon’s furious breathing .
But before long, he laughed . “Nevermind . ”
He chuckled and shook his head, then grabbed hold of the Yao Emperors’ physical bodies .

No one dared stop him . At first, Li Jiayi wanted to stand in his way, but her instincts screamed, “don’t move!”
She couldn’t stop him . She couldn’t move .
“When your true bodies got hurt, it led to your souls’ collapsing . I can’t deny that condensing your souls was an act of genius, yet the drawbacks were too obvious . I really wanted to duke it out with you, but one of you is already dead . Even if you recondense your souls, it won’t have the same effect as before . ”
Whump .
He tossed the Yao Emperors’ bodies onto the ground, then cooly glanced at their souls .
“How about this? The three of you definitely promised to live and die as one . How about I help you? I’ll let you die together . ”
“Stay your hand!”
At that moment, he heard a woman’s shout from behind him . When he heard her voice, Black Dragon arched his brows in surprise .
Black Dragon wasn’t paying any attention to those people . They couldn’t even move in front of him . From that alone, it was clear; they weren’t worth sparing even a single glance .
Yet to his surprise, amongst that group of people he’d scared out of his wits… .
One of them actually dared chastise him .
He turned around in fascination and saw Li Jiayi, flexible sword in hand, staring fiercely back at him .
“Are you the one who spoke just now?”
Black Dragon could see that this girl was weak, weaker than most of the human and beast experts present . Even so, he admired her courage, so he was willing to share a few words with her .

“It was me . ” Li Jiayi’s little face was deathly pale and her heart thudded violently in her chest .
“You… . you’re not bad . ”
This was a sincere compliment . It was possible that, the first time she chastised him, she was just being restless . However, even after he’d turned and looked her directly in the eye, she was still capable of answering his questions .
At the very least, her courage far exceeded everyone else present .
“I admire your courage, but that doesn't mean I’ll tolerate you chiding me . However… . . I'm willing to give you a chance . What is it you have to say?”
“You can’t touch their bodies,” Li JIayi frowned .
“Now you’re giving me orders? Little girl, I don’t like your tone .
“Are you giving me orders? Little girl, I don’t like your tone . ” Black Dragon’s expression darkened . Sensing his change in demeanor, the onlookers were instantly on edge .
However, the moment soon passed . Black Dragon smiled once more, then continued, “but I do appreciate your courage . Fine, then . Since you don’t want me to touch their bodies, I’ll give you a chance . So long as you can make me take even a single step backward, I’ll return their bodies to you . I can even let everyone here go too . How about it?”
Everyone’s hearts shook . Their gazes landed on Li Jiayi .
They didn’t stop her . Even if they could, what would be the point? They’d still die in the end . Even so, they had no hope she’d succeed .
With just her, how could they possibly make Black Dragon retreat even a single step?
It was a ridiculous fantasy!
Even so, deep in the bottoms of their hearts, they were hoping for a miracle . It was fair to say that their current mental state was rather complicated . Complicated enough that, even if you asked them to explain how they were feeling, they wouldn’t have been able to do it .
As the weight of countless lives bore down on her shoulders, the pressure on Li Jiayi multiplied . Despite herself, the image of a boy who always smiled, no matter what, surfaced in her mind… . .
Ye Zichen .
He was the one who’d popped into her mind .
“So, it turns out the weight you’ve been carrying on your shoulders was this heavy,” she couldn’t help but mutter to herself . Then she recalled once more that he’d fallen during his lightning tribulation . The way she saw it, dying… . Might not be a bad thing for him .
At the very least, his enormous burden, heavy enough to crush a man, was gone . Death was a form of release .
Just like it would be now, when countless lives weighed down on her shoulders!
Suddenly, a sharp light flashed through Li Jiayi’s eyes . “Alright, I agree . ”
She looked Black Dragon right in the eye, then spoke once more, pronouncing each word slowly and emphatically .
“Remember what you said . ”
The people outside Dragon City were stunned by her response . Even Black Dragon was astonished .
Black Dragon had only said that to make the girl collapse under the pressure . He never would have guessed she’d agree so decisively .
He didn’t see anything special about her, but he was curious to see just what sort of method she could use to make him step back!
