Start from Panlong and kill through the heavens

The nine-headed black dragon, under the blessing of the illusion, took the form of a nine-headed golden holy dragon, but its true form was ugly and evil, emanating a fishy stench from its entire body, with black odor seeping from its scales.

The fact that Vesa and the others immediately engaged in battle with the nine-headed black dragon upon first sight demonstrates that the nine-headed black dragon is extremely warlike and has no intention of avoiding combat, even though its opponents number seven.

"Peak of the Marquis level!" After a brief exchange, Visa and the others felt a chill in their hearts. The strength of this nine-headed black dragon had clearly reached the peak of the Marquis level, and the terrifying power it unleashed was definitely more than 8000 times the power of a World Lord.

Among the group of people including Visa, the strongest should be Visa and Gu Jianhou. Both of them possess about 6000 times the power of a Realm Lord. In addition, the weapons and armor they use are extraordinary, and they have reached the threshold of the peak of the Marquis title.

However, compared to the nine-headed black dragon before them, they were far inferior, especially since this nine-headed black dragon seemed to possess an extremely terrifying power to corrupt the soul.

There are only two ways to kill an immortal marquis: one is to continuously deplete his divine body until it is reduced to 30% or even less, forcing him into a deep sleep or self-destruction.

The second method is to directly destroy its soul imprint with a soul attack. By destroying all of its soul imprints, it can naturally kill it.

This nine-headed black dragon completely overwhelmed everyone in terms of strength, and had already gained an absolute advantage. In addition, it even possessed the power to corrupt souls, which was simply fatal to Vesa and the others.

As soon as they clashed, Yu Chenhou, who was already seriously injured, and Mei Xinhou, who was not good at head-on combat, were fiercely whipped away by the black dragon's tail, which was as thick as a mountain range. The terrifying power instantly consumed nearly 10% of their divine bodies.

At this point, Yu Chenhou's divine body was reduced to only about 60%, and his strength was reduced to less than 10%. He was so frightened that he could only hide in the distance and dared not continue to participate in the battle.

Although Meixin Hou's divine body was not greatly damaged, she knew that she was no match for the nine-headed black dragon and dared not continue to attack.

As the only realm lord among the seven, Rean was considered the weakest, and almost no one except for Marquis Meixin had any intention of letting him take action.

In battles of this level, if a faction leader blindly participates, it's likely not only unhelpful but could very well hinder the fight.

So before the battle began, Vera kindly reminded Rean to protect himself and stay away, while Hun Tianhou completely ignored her advice and told him not to get too close so as not to drag everyone down.

So Rean quietly watched the battle from a distance, showing no intention of making a move.

"You...you really don't plan to make a move?" After being injured, Marquis Meixin also left the battlefield and came to Li En's side. She looked at Li En, who was indifferent to the matter, and said speechlessly.

"Do you think I should intervene?" Rean glanced at the other person and asked indifferently.

“But if you don’t take action, they probably won’t be able to defeat that nine-headed black dragon. If one or two of them die, they won’t be able to find the treasure,” Marquis Meixin couldn’t help but advise.

She knew that everyone had underestimated Rean along the way, and Rean was probably unhappy about it, which was why he didn't want to take action at this moment. She could understand Rean's feelings, but for the sake of the treasure, she still wanted to persuade Rean to prioritize the bigger picture.

At this moment, Yu Chenhou, who was standing to the side with a pale face, glanced coldly at Li En, and then said to Mei Xinhou:

"Why are you telling him all this? Do you think he can control the course of the battle? What difference does it make whether he intervenes or not?"

"Shut up!" Marquis Meixin frowned, unable to resist shouting. Normally she was all smiles and captivating charm, but now, with her cold glare, she possessed a strange allure. Hearing Marquis Meixin's rebuke, Marquis Yuchen's expression darkened, but he refrained from speaking. In this Sumeru Illusionary Realm, encountering a powerful opponent was certainly frightening, but provoking an enemy skilled at influencing the mind was even more terrifying.

So Yu Chenhou simply closed his eyes to recover from his injuries, while also resisting the surrounding illusionary attacks, ignoring Mei Xinhou and Li En.

Rean still had no intention of making a move. It wasn't that he truly held a grudge because of the others' disdain for him; he simply wanted to see the true strength of this nine-headed black dragon.

Although the Nine-Headed Black Dragon is at the peak of the Marquis level, it belongs to a special bloodline. It should be a powerful ferocious beast born in this illusion. This special bloodline likely possesses some kind of innate ability, and its strength is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface.

As expected, as Vesa and Gu Jianhou both unleashed their strongest power, the former cast out a large black net, while the latter took out three ancient swords.

This large net seemed to contain an extremely terrifying spatial confinement power, instantly imprisoning the nine-headed black dragon in place. Meanwhile, the three ancient swords of the Ancient Sword Marquis also seemed to contain the power of the origin of metal and the origin of space, instantly piercing through the three middle heads of the nine-headed black dragon.

The three ancient swords erupted with dazzling golden light, which, like a blazing sun, began to scorch the nine-headed black dragon's divine body, causing the nine-headed black dragon to roar in pain.

Roar! !

The nine-headed black dragon was completely enraged. Its nine heads opened their mouths at the same time and spewed out jet-black saliva, which was like a flood that instantly submerged Vesa and her companions.

The four people struggled desperately in the black torrent, their divine bodies were being rapidly consumed, and at the same time their souls were being frantically burned and polluted, as if infected with a virus that began to spread throughout their entire souls.

Whether it was Wei Sa, Gu Jian Hou, or Hun Tian Hou, they were all in pain, and some even roared in agony. But Yao Yue Hou seemed to be unaffected, with a pale blue light emanating from his body, completely blocking the black dragon saliva.

"Rean, hurry up and do it! If you don't act soon, they'll all die!" Marquis Meixin finally couldn't help but shout. She couldn't just watch Vesa die in front of her; she and Vesa were very good friends.

The voice of the Enchanting Marquis attracted the attention of Wei Sa and the others, but they didn't pay much attention to it. They were just doing their best to resist the dragon saliva attack of the nine-headed black dragon. As long as the dragon saliva stopped spewing, they would have a chance to counterattack.

However, given their current physical exhaustion, they worried they wouldn't last until the dragon's saliva stopped spewing.

Just then, two streaks of light, one black and one white, suddenly appeared in the void, flashing by like swimming fish. They then instantly pierced through the black dragon's mouth and emerged from its head.

Ouch! !
The black dragon let out a painful roar, its saliva forced to stop, and the terrifying power of spacetime was strangling its divine body. Although it only caused it to lose about 3% of its divine body, it was still a considerable injury to it.

Previously, the combined attack by Vesa and others had already consumed 20% of the Nine-Headed Black Dragon's divine body, reducing his strength to only 80%. If another 10% were consumed, his strength would drop to only 50%.

If it tries to kill these humans, it will be very difficult, and it might even be worn down to death by them.

Having figured this out, the nine heads of the black dragon all turned towards Rean, roared, and pounced directly at him. (End of Chapter)
