Chapter 1124: Bullying the Dragon Rider Is Unwise

"Haha, since this man is so bold as to make such an unusual request, our Emperor Soul Battle Group might as well grant it."

Shi Tiandao had always been without limits. As long as he found something amusing, he paid no mind to the opinions of others, much less their so-called criticisms.

This was because anyone who had ever criticized him had already been eliminated by the Emperor Soul Battle Group.

A powerful aura of killing intent immediately locked onto Guglas. The formidable presence of the Eight Heavenly Kings was overwhelming; they instantly surged onto the battlefield, encircling Guglas in the blink of an eye.

"Little fatty, aren't you very confident? Today, we will make you experience true despair!"

Guglas burst out laughing. "My boss said coming here to spar with you is for my own improvement. Unleash whatever abilities you have, or I fear you won't get a second chance to be proud."

As he finished speaking, the Eight Heavenly Kings attacked simultaneously, aiming to give Guglas a decisive setback. They launched powerful assaults on him from all directions at once.

An utterly terrifying oppressive force surged forth at that moment. It was an astonishing power, striking Guglas heavily on the head.

It was important to note that all Eight Heavenly Kings were at the Purple Level peak, effectively eight forces equal to Guglas's own strength bearing down on him.

Had it been anyone else, even a top expert from the Western Regions of Yingzhou Continent, they would have had no confidence in withstanding this combined strike.

Yet, Guglas gritted his teeth, unleashing his strongest power. Without even relying on the might of the Demonic Dragon, he had already pushed his formidable body-tempering technique to its absolute limit.

The Eight Heavenly Kings' power increased progressively, strengthening bit by bit, rather than being the extreme explosive force of a single fatal strike.

It wasn't that they lacked such ability; rather, their true intention was to slowly torment Guglas. By gradually crushing him, they aimed to demonstrate the formidable dominance of the Emperor Soul Battle Team to all factions within the alliance.

However, the Eight Heavenly Kings never anticipated that their arrogance would instead provide Guglas with an opportunity for a desperate counterattack.

The Steel Demonic Dragon bloodline, stimulated by this progressively intensifying oppressive force, instead erupted with unprecedented terrifying power.

Finally, at this moment, powerful Demonic Dragon Steel elements manifested upon Guglas's body!

"Eight people? That's nothing!"

Guglas's voice echoed through the sky, and an incredibly powerful counter-shock wave simultaneously pushed back against the Eight Heavenly Kings!

"My heavens!"

Guglas's powerful counterattack utterly astonished every onlooker. No one understood how he had just achieved that feat.

"To repel all eight Purple Level peak Heavenly Kings of the Emperor Soul Battle Group by himself — how is that even possible!"

Little did they know that in that very instant, Guglas had secretly unleashed his awakened Demonic Dragon Arcanum, boosting his defensive capabilities to their absolute limit. This also incorporated a rebound effect, pushing a portion of the Eight Heavenly Kings' power back onto them.

"Hahaha, the fatty has truly made a name for himself with this fight! To contend with eight Heavenly Kings by himself and not be at a disadvantage—who the hell can do that?"

Everyone was completely stunned by Guglas's display, except for the members of Xu Yang's Glorious Dragon Cavalry Battle Team, who maintained relatively calm smiles, showing no signs of distorted expressions or losing composure.

"You scoundrel, what method did you just use to simultaneously withstand attacks from all eight of us?"

"Heh heh, I'm becoming increasingly interested in this fatty!"

After the Slaughter Heavenly King spoke, the Enchantment Heavenly King, the only female among them with an alluring posture, smiled and steadily approached Guglas.

As expected, the Enchantment Heavenly King knew best: while Guglas, a steel warrior, possessed an almost incomparably powerful physique, his greatest weakness remained his inability to resist a man's desires. The flaw of his legs weakening at the sight of a beautiful woman was likely something Guglas would never overcome.

Unless his stunning maidservant was present, Guglas knew himself that once he succumbed to a gentle, enchanting mood, breaking free would become exceedingly difficult.

"Go help the fatty. He has completed his task. Now, you must unleash the full capabilities of the Glorious Dragon Cavalry Battle Team, making the entire Yingzhou Continent hear your voices and remember your names."

Xu Yang gently sipped his tea, sending this soul message to the Dragon Cavalry members. In that very same instant, the other six simultaneously entered the battlefield, appearing beside Guglas.

A powerful aura and oppressive presence instantly forced the Enchantment Heavenly King, who had been attempting to approach Guglas, back over a hundred meters.

"These people... such powerful auras!"

"Are they the legendary Glorious Dragon Cavalry Battle Team? The absolute ace of the Glorious Battle Group?"

The Eight Heavenly Kings each showed interest.

A restless desire for battle was evident in each of their eyes. That fiercely burning flame of combat had never extinguished.

"Very good. There are seven of you and eight of us, the numbers are quite similar. I'm eager to see which of our two sides is truly qualified to become the premier battle team in the Western Regions of Yingzhou Continent!"

Lister burst out laughing. "You people really know how to flatter yourselves! The 'premier battle team'? Are you even worthy of that title?"

The moment Lister finished speaking, the Slaughter Heavenly King, one of the Eight, was the first to reveal a chilling smile.

"Worthy or not, we'll find out when we try. I'll be your opponent!"

It was clearly the established rule: a one-on-one peak duel.

Li Lis certainly didn't hesitate. He was no longer the same person who once used to skip out on the bill after a drink at the Black Rose.

"Later, don't let your grandpa beat you until you're on your knees, weeping bitterly. You must be strong!"

The two exchanged words, then ascended into the air, heading to one of the Seven Star Valley's sub-battlefields. The peak duel was about to commence.

The Enchantment Heavenly King originally intended to choose Guglas as her opponent, but she was unhesitatingly blocked by Xue'er.

"Your opponent should be me, you hussy! All you do is flaunt yourself. Just wait until I rip that face off you!"

Immediately after, the Dark Heavenly King chose Guglas.

Meanwhile, the couple, Pransis and his partner, faced the Mystic Tiger Heavenly King and the Battle Wolf Heavenly King.

The young woman Ling Yao proactively chose the leader of the Eight Heavenly Kings—the Soul Burying Heavenly King, renowned as the Strongest Heavenly King!

As for King Kong Goliath, the strongest member of the Dragon Cavalry team and Xu Yang's sole personal guardian, he faced the remaining two Heavenly Kings: twin brothers, the Morning Sun Heavenly King and the Setting Sun Heavenly King, fighting them both at once.

"Lord Ah Yang, how confident are you that we can win this battle?"
