Facing such a strange attack from Xunian, the Dragon Vein seemed unwilling to relent. It struggled desperately, entangling itself with Xunian's red afterimage.
Just as Li Huowang was about to crash into the Dragon Vein, more than ten dragon claws had already risen to meet him.
But this was merely a feint from Li Huowang. Peng Longteng appeared before him in an instant, caught him securely, and hurled him forcefully toward the young emperor of Da Qi.
At this point, he could no longer be called the young emperor. He had completely transformed into a lump that resembled a premature infant, barely the size of a palm, with nearly transparent skin.
Li Huowang's hand shot out. With a single motion, he yanked the Purple Tassel Sword free from the Dragon Vein and hacked toward the little emperor.
"Brother Li! You can't kill it like that! First, sever its connection to the Dragon Vein!"
