Chapter 1585: Against Vitali

Tang Shaoyang's attention was finally on the second half-dragon. He knew about Donis and Bran from Castor, but he did not know about the second half-dragon.

"But you are doing it to the wrong person. Intimidation like this does not work on us, God Rank. Maybe you should play with the people from your world. They might get scared with all these heads."

If he was alone, Tang Shaoyang would be extra cautious against someone as confident as Vitali. He would expect the opposite to hold his weakness if they were so confident after his information was leaked.

With a flick, all the spirits made an appearance minus the dead four Cyclops and Avyn who was in the integration with him. Thirty-six spirits surrounded the five, and Vitali was not fazed. Ian, Agnes, Bran, and Donis were alerted to guard against the spirits. Only Vitali, who was not fazed by the spirits, remained confident and at ease. As if the spirits were not a problem for him.

Tang Shaoyang took out the golden spear from his inventory. The golden spear was wrapped in inscription on it. Donis and Bran's expression changed when they saw the spear.

"Vitali is it? You are so confident because you have this one, are you?"

Vitali nodded his head, "I do have one. They kindly lent it to me." He took out the same spear. The same model, the same inscription, and the same color. It was the exact copy.

"But I don't think I will need it. I just need to get rid of you to get rid of your spirits. I don't know why they make it so complicated. It would never reach this point if they listened from the start."

"I see..." Tang Shaoyang could see Vitali was confident in his strength, not because of a trick or scheme. That was what he got from the short exchange.

A figure then hopped next to Tang Shaoyang, Castor Bach Justesen with his new appearance. He showed up with a smile and waved his hand at Donis who put him into a misery, "Yo! Don't you guys recognize me?"

"Castor!?" The first one to recognize was Agnes. She had been with Castor for the longest time. Despite the dark skin and horns, she could not forget his face. Of course, it was also because of her guilt when she could not do anything when Donis used Castor as an example for others to see.

Donis furrowed his brow, and Vitali was surprised. Both knew how strong the curse put on Castor was. They expected Castor to die by now, but the man was still alive and kicking.

"It's time to pay back the traitor. I told you these weaklings could not kill Tang Shaoyang, and you have to pay the iron price now!" Castor grinned. Those words were directed to Ian and Agnes.

"You know we don't have any choice, Castor! Don't make it like we betrayed you. It's the circumstances that force us to join them!" Agnes retorted.

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, Vitali made his move. He appeared in front of Castor, his palm was just two inches away from grabbing Castor's head. Castor was caught off guard, not expecting they would come at him first.

Before he could grab Castor, he felt a huge force on his stomach. Tang Shaoyang, using Heavenly Crushing Strike, hit Vitali in the stomach.

Vitali was sent flying back down to the ground, his body was spinning in the air before crashing to the ground with a Boom!

"That's hurt!" Vitali came out from the rising dust with blood on the corner of his mouth. He was caressing his stomach and looked at Tang Shaoyang. The scale on his stomach shattered and revealed the flesh. But the wound healed in no time even though the pain was still lingering.

"The pep talk is over, guys. Let's end the hunt!" With a clap with his hand, the spirit rushed to the five.

The first one was, of course, Doombringer. The Behemoth was mad that because of these four, he lost Tang Shaoyang's trust. The Behemoth started with a Kaboom! Trying to raze them into dust with his blast. Of course, the five survived. Bran and Ian used their bloodline transformation.

Bran's body turned into lightning, similar to the first God Rank he fought from the Divine Church, Gungnir. Ian's bloodline was something related to the wolf. That was what he was from his appearance, but he could not tell what kind of bloodline it was.

Meanwhile, Agnes had two pairs of wings coming out from her back. The wing was similar to the butterfly, and there was a green eye pattern on each wing. When you looked at the wing, it felt like being stared at by four eyes.

The dragon descendants, Donis and Vitali also transformed just like Tang Shaoyang. Their whole body was covered in dragon scales but different in color. Donis was red, and Vitali was ice-blue.

The five were floating in the air, avoiding the impact of Doombringer's blast.

"You are Zonaras' descendant!" Amidst the battle, Baccara shouted loudly. Her gaze locked on Vitali.

Vitali looked toward the voice and furrowed his brows. He met with Baccara, and somehow he recognized the black phoenix. He never met with the black phoenix, but he had either seen her picture or heard about her.

Baccara flew to Tang Shaoyang's side, "Can you give him to me? I want to kill that basterd myself!" The deep hatred was clear in her tone as if they had a personal grudge.

Tang Shaoyang glanced at Baccara, then he looked at Vitali, "Who's Zonaras?"

"One of the Dragon Guardians in the Dragon Realm!"

"Woah, you know your stuff!" Vitali was happy instead of getting worried. As if he was proud that someone recognized his bloodline.

"But who are you... I felt like I had seen you somewhere..." His eyes widened as he remembered a tale. It was a tale about a crazed phoenix that came to the Dragon Realm to wreak havoc, "The self-proclaimed The Ruler of Sky which was later obliterated by The Sky Dragon, Ammor! I remember you!"

"You are quite famous in my hometown. The fool and crazy phoenix!" Vitali grinned ear to ear. He was good at provoking others.

"Hah! You are a funny kid. If not for the three Guardians helping Ammor, do you think that Ammor could kill me in the sky? Tell Zonaras to come fight me, and I will kill him!"

"Not just crazy and foolish, you are also delusional, birdy. Everyone knew it was between you and Sir Ammor. It was a fair fight, and you lost your battle! The Rule of Sky my ass! Your current position is befitting for someone delusional like you, a spirit for a weakling!"

He did not forget to add an insult to Tang Shaoyang too. He wanted to provoke Tang Shaoyang into one-against-one after he realized how strong those spirits were.

Baccara's fire flared up. This was the first time the black phoenix was angry.

"He's mine, Baccara! I will get him for you, and we made a deal, it's Ammor, not him. Don't worry, it would not be an easy death for him. I can assure you that," Tang Shaoyang was not triggered by Vitali's childish provocation.

The reason he wanted to fight Vitali was because he wanted to try his limit. Vitali looked the strongest of the five. That was the reason why.

Tang Shaoyang no longer continued the conversation as he immediately used [Blink]. His both fists were covered in Heavenly Energy. He used the Sixth Heavenly Gate, the Heavenly White Tiger.

The White Tiger image appeared behind with a deafening roar. The Heavenly Energy that mixed together with Chaos Energy swirled fiercely in his right hand. Then he used Heavenly Crushing Strike right to Vitali's chest.

Vitali was caught off guard by [Blink], but he reacted timely. He did use a barrier that looked like a dragon scale. He enveloped himself with a barrier which was a big mistake. Never blocked Tang Shaoyang's attack with a barrier. Of course, it was a mistake he was not aware of. This was their first encounter.

The barrier dispersed as the fist was just three inches away from the barrier. Yes, it did not break apart, but dispersed by [Absolute Domination Energy].

Vitali's eyes widened in shock, not expecting his strongest defensive barrier would get dispelled like that. This time he could not react in time because he was preparing a counter. His counter was not ready, but the fist was right in front of him. He watched how the first hit his chest.

His dragon scales, his last defense against the fist shattered in pieces as the fist hit his chest. His chest sunk deep as he was flung in sonic speed from the impact. He found it hard to breathe after the fist hit him. Not just that, the pain was so unbearable. He felt like his heart was getting hit by a hammer.

He crashed into trees and stopped. Realizing his situation, he immediately got up only to see Tang Shaoyang was ready in front of him. He then saw the fierce White Tiger behind Tang Shaoyang, and his heart skipped a beat.

His instinct told him he was in danger. His instinct was screaming at him to run and dodge the incoming fist. But he could not make it in time because another fist hit his cheek.

It was not less painful than the previous hit, but for some reason, the fist had no force or impact that sent him flying like the previous ones. Before he could think how he should counter, the second fist hit his right shoulder. Then he saw everything, the thing awaited him in front of him. He saw thousands of fists were going toward him.
