The four Azure Dragons exerted their full strength in an attack of world-destroying power.
Not only did the attack engulf the giant Vajra Shadow behind the Su Family Ancestor, but it also threatened to annihilate him.
The storm raged for several seconds before slowly dissipating.
After a long while, the storm finally cleared.
The Su Family Ancestor emerged, his robe tattered and disheveled, resembling a beggar with his hair in disarray. His chest was stained with blood, presenting a somewhat pitiful sight.
The Vajra Shadow behind him remained but was much more illusory, thinner, and the originally brilliant golden radiance had dimmed considerably.
The Su Family Ancestor glared coldly at the four Azure Dragons, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood, his old face contorted with horror.
"The Four Guardian Gods, as expected, are formidable. But unfortunately, you will ultimately fall by my hand."
He was injured, but only lightly.
Looking at the four Azure Dragons, their faces were pale. The battle had greatly exhausted them, especially that desperate strike just now, nearly depleting their strength.
The Su Family Ancestor was not wrong; continuing to fight would undoubtedly lead to their deaths.
However, their eyes held anticipation because there was a reason behind their desperate strike.
The White Tiger said indifferently, "Why so much useless talk? The victor is yet to be decided."
The Su Family Ancestor sneered, "Your cultivation is almost exhausted. Do you still have the strength to fight?"
"It doesn't matter, after today the Su Family is finished. Our goal is already achieved," Xuanwu said with a touch of pride.
They were indeed proud; the Hidden Family had always been a thorn in their side, impenetrable like a fortress, leaving them no way to attack.
But the appearance of Qin Yi had completely changed their hopeless situation.
It proved that the Hidden Family was not an impregnable fortress, not invincible.
The Su Family Ancestor's gaze was as cold as a Poison Snake. "You are wrong, as long as I am here, the Su Family remains. And you will pay with your lives. Your successors will be killed by me personally, and next, it will be you.
After today, the world will have no Four Guardian Gods."
"Is that so?"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind him, filled with endless mockery.
The Su Family Ancestor was startled. That voice...
He was incredulous, stunned for a second.
Just one second, but it came at a deadly cost.
The void behind him twisted, and suddenly a black light appeared silently.
"Bang!"
The black light struck the Su Family Ancestor's back without warning, causing his entire back to cave in, protruding bones piercing through skin and flesh, leaving a horrific sight.
Even with the Su Family Ancestor's incredible cultivation, such a severe injury forced a pained howl from him. His mouth spewed blood mixed with chunks of flesh, his organs displaced by the impact.
The giant Vajra Shadow standing behind the Su Family Ancestor dimmed instantly, nearing collapse.
"Boom!"
Rolling Fist Light surged like thunder and the Milky Way, sweeping towards the Su Family Ancestor.
The Su Family Ancestor roared in fury, like a wounded beast, his eyes flashing with savage light, turning abruptly, releasing a terrifying power from his palm.
"Qin Yi, dodge quickly!"
The Su Family Ancestor, in his rage, struck with tremendous power, causing the four Azure Dragons' faces to change.
Qin Yi felt a chill of dread; he clearly sensed the terrifying power of this palm strike, and with a flap of wings, dodged swiftly to the side.
"Boom!"
Qin Yi's Fist Light was obliterated by the Su Family Ancestor's palm strike, the terrifying storm sweeping Qin Yi away.
"Pfft!"
Qin Yi's bones groaned with the impact, his organs trembling, blood and Qi surging, forcing him to spit blood repeatedly.
Qin Yi looked with lingering fear at the crazed face of the Su Family Ancestor; the counterattack of a dying man is truly formidable. That palm left him fearful; if he hadn't dodged quickly, it wouldn't merely be an injury but potential death under a single strike.
"A dying old dog." Qin Yi cursed in anger.
The Su Family Ancestor's face twisted, eyes mad as he looked at Qin Yi, "You're still alive?"
He was somewhat in disbelief, as he thought he had killed Qin Yi with his own hands, so how could he still be alive?
Qin Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, sneering, "I am here to destroy the Su Family, not to commit suicide. As long as you live, how could I die? I said before, either you die today, or you perish. I cherish my life, so I neither want to die nor can I."
The Su Family Ancestor glared at Qin Yi, eyes venomous, "You truly are a monster. Given another ten years, perhaps no one in the world would oppose you."
Qin Yi laughed, "Without modesty, I'd say there's already no one in this world who can oppose me."
Having severely injured the Su Family Ancestor made Qin Yi quite pleased; this was a powerhouse almost at the Body Integration Realm. Who else in the world could accomplish this? Although he used strategy, he wasn't ashamed. Facing enemies, he only cared about the result, not the process.
No matter the means, be it cunning or open strategy, as long as it eliminated the enemy, it was a good plan.
Because the only thing that matters is staying alive. No matter how heroic you are when alive, once you're dead, you're nothing. The living can say whatever they want about you, and you can't climb out of the grave to bite them, can you?
The corners of the four Azure Dragons' mouths twitched; this lad has become prideful, floating. No one can oppose you, do you think we four don't exist?
The Su Family Ancestor looked at the Azure Dragon, "You've nurtured a promising successor. In a few years, you might all have to follow his orders."
Xuanwu sneered, "Even at the brink of death, you're sowing discord. What makes you think you understand Qin Yi better than we do? I believe, even if he rises to the summit, he will still be the brat we view him as."
Azure Dragon spoke slowly, "Your words only prove your narrow mind. You don't understand Qin Yi's character, but I can tell you that even if he stands above the crowd, unmatched, commanding us, we would willingly follow him.
Because not everyone in this world lives for themselves, losing themselves after gaining power and status. The stronger Qin Yi becomes, the happier we are, so put away your petty thoughts."
A warm feeling passed through Qin Yi's heart; being trusted felt wonderful. But he wouldn't show it, for if he showed too much emotion, these people would surely use it to tease him later.
Their bond needed no words to express.
The Su Family Ancestor's eyes grew venomous, like a Poison Snake staring at the Azure Dragon. With a sudden roar, he raised his hand, unleashing terrifying power that rolled forth, enveloping the four Azure Dragons, its horrific force tearing cracks even in the void.
