"Hah!" The other woman suddenly sneered out loud. "I don't know how you managed to escape Gu Ruyan and Lin Canye, but you're in no position to help others."
Yuan turned to face the woman and asked, "And who are you? Are you also surnamed Gu? Or do you belong to one of the other Legacy Families?"
"You know who we are?" The woman expressed surprise at Yuan's words.
"Not really, but now I know you're with the Seven Legacy Families."
"You know our background, yet you still want to defy us? You're dumber than I thought," said the man beside her.
Yuan shifted his gaze toward him and sneered. "Let's not pretend the Seven Legacy Families are some grand power in the upper heavens. You may have been all-powerful in the lower realms, but up here, your influence is nothing special."
"How dare you! Our families may not appear as imposing in the upper heavens, but that's only because we choose not to stand out! In truth, our influence is anything but small!" the man barked.
"Shut up! Why the hell are you telling him everything?!" the woman suddenly snapped at him.
"S-Sorry... but does it really matter? He's going to die soon, anyway."
"If your friend couldn't kill me even with the Rod of Destruction, what can the two of you little sheep do to me?" Yuan said.
"?!?!" Their eyes went wide, astonishment all over their faces, as Yuan's words were nothing short of unbelievable. Gu Ruyan had a tier 2 Rod of Destruction, which could instantly kill anyone below the third level of God Ascension. Yet, the man standing before them was only a Golden Immortal. Unless Gu Ruyan missed the attack, there was simply no chance that Yuan could've survived it.
"What should we do, Sister Chen? If what he says is true-"
"Zhuang Maojiang, are you an idiot?! Of course he's bluffing! Now hurry up and kill him! I will take care of that thieving bitch!" she shouted.
Zhuang Maojiang gave a hurried nod before drawing forth his battleaxe, then charged toward Yuan in the next instant. Expecting Zhuang Maojiang to finish Yuan quickly, the woman surnamed Chen circled around the fight and rushed toward the injured woman.
However, in their very first exchange, Yuan completely overpowered Zhuang Maojiang, sending him flying back before turning to confront the woman.
"What the hell are you doing, Zhuang Maojiang?! Stop playing around and kill him already!"
"What the ?!" Zhuang Maojiang's face twisted in shock as he realized he had just lost to Yuan's sword. His cultivation was higher, and his battleaxe should have held the advantage in direct clashes-yet he still lost, and so decisively at that.
