"You!"


    The middle-aged man glowered at Wilbur, who sneered. "What''s wrong? You don''t think I can finish you off?"


    Wilbur''s aura was far too powerful, and the man trembled from head to toe as he scrambled to look away. Wilbur wasted no time, continuing to make his way forward.


    "It''s impressive that you defeated Jones, but that doesn''t mean anything. Jones was just a mere guard to begin with."


    Just then, a man in a Dashan jacket appeared to block Wilbur''s path. Wilbur frowned at him, asking, "Are you from Dasha, too?"


    "Indeed, I am. I don''t care what grievances you have with Fawkes, but I''d get out of here now if I were you. Don''t me me for what happens to you if you don''t listen to me."


    Wilbur smirked. "Well, I''d advise you to get out of my way now, or you''re going to pay as well."


    "What big words. You''re clearly underestimating me, the great Kiro."


    "Cut the crap. Let''s fight!"


    Wilbur summoned the thunder cleaver and charged up to Kiro before swinging the cleaver at him. Kiro darted out of the way, saying, "Impressive sword skills. Can''t say the same for your speed, though."


    Wilbur attacked again, but Kiro did not dodge it this time. He put his palms together, muttering a spell as a green dragon appeared. The dragon flicked its tail and stopped Wilbur''s attack at once.


    Shock shed in Wilbur''s gaze at the sight of the green dragon, but he regained hisposure the next second. "It looks like you''re already at the pre-Emperor level. I really did underestimate you."


    Kiro rose into the air, staring down at Wilbur with a smirk. "Are you scared, then? If you get on your knees and call me Master Kiro, I''ll let you leave."


    "You''re being ridiculous," Wilbur said as he stared at Kiro. "You''ve only barely learned the cultivation methods of the dragon n, yet you''re already trying to show off. I''m going to have to teach you a lesson."


    Dragon aura exploded out of Wilbur following that, and Kiro frowned at once. "Is this..."


    Wilbur charged toward Kiro the next second. The enormous green dragon swooped down from mid-air but was destroyed by Wilbur''s dragon''s aura in seconds before vanishingpletely.


    "Take this!"


    Wilbur threw a punch at Kiro. At the veryst second, however, three rays of white light shot out toward Wilbur from different sides. They were emitted by three other assants who just appeared out of the blue.


    "Roar!"


    Wilbur''s dragon aura absorbed all three rays with an explosive roar, but this also used up arge amount of Wilbur''s strength. He had no choice but to withdraw his attack. He then sent out a surge of his dragon aura to send the four assants around him flying.
