After a brief moment of shock, both the Emperor and his advisor leapt to action.

Wang was already heavily injured and they had seen how much energy he put into that attack to kill one Li Mong in one shot. This was the prime moment to attack and kill him.

'Don't worry about capturing him anymore.' the Emperor said to his friend with a telepathic message, he could see that capturing Wang would be a luxury at this point.

Li Hong didn't even bother nodding to his Emperor and used the strongest restriction art he could use in a moment.

''Eight Heavenly Flame Chains!'' he shouted out as eight golden chains came out of his back, 4 on the right, 4 on the left.

Danger Bells ran amok in Wang's head the moment he saw the Eight Heavenly Flame Chains.

'Thankfully they seem to be focused more on me, rather than my sister.' he thought as he dodged flew while leaving a trail of poison behind him.

The Emperor caught up to him quickly. He blazed through the poisonous trail Wang left behind with no regard to the poison as if it didn't even exist.

Wang secretly frowned and tried to maneuver himself out of the Emperor's grasp, but the Emperor was too fast for him to get rid of that easily.

'Tch, if I wasn't this injured...' he complained inside his heart but his face remained stone cold as he calculated the risks of his actions.

While Wang was escaping from the Emperor, Li Hong's chains were going through many changes.

Flaming Golden Chains shivered as if they were alive. A few seconds later, they started changing visibly.

The ends of the chains separated and now looked like a bunch of mouths, seconds later half the length of the chains followed.

''Eight Dragons Burn The Heavens!'' he shouted on instinct, losing his rationality for a second.

Seeing this, Wang could only curse on the inside. He would never let someone go through a transformation in front of him, but the Emperor that was chasing him like a dog was making things hard for him.

He coughed out blood as if he was on the verge of death. The ball of unnaturally dense blood fell in front of the Emperor that was chasing him and exploded into a poison that could melt even the hardest metals.

The Emperor on the other hand, just rubbed one of the jade pendants he had on his belt and went through the poison unharmed.

''Hmph, I see through your tricks like seeing through the schemes of a child.'' he said with an arrogant tone. He was intentionally being as condescending as possible to wear down Wang's mentality.

Unfortunately for him, Wang's skin was thicker than a honey badger's skin.

Seeing his advisor finished with his preparations, the Emperor went all out. Until now he was only chasing Wang to make sure he wouldn't disturb his friend, now that they were both fully ready, it was impossible for Wang to resist them.

Small silhouettes of dragons appeared on his ankles and boosted his speed to a speed comparable to his brother's.

He was getting closer and closer each and every second to Wang's annoyance, 'He is trying to lure me into his friend's grasp, it seems like that guys mobility took a hit when he used that technique, but the feeling of danger I get from him is as big as the Emperor.'

'Fuck it.'

Wang suddenly changed directions and rushed towards the third opponent in the area, the weak and unprotected soul of Li Yan.

Seeing his intentions, the Emperor's eyes widened in a mix of anger and shock.

'Li Mong, go get his sister!' seeing how things would play out, he desperately needed that girl as a hostage.

Li Mong nodded quickly and went after the ice cold beauty that was still standing still with a blank look on her face.

'Is this a trap?'

The young man Wang went through many things to protect his sister, he wouldn't just leave her open to danger all by herself after all of this, would he?

Doubts appeared in his head but he decided to go ahead with it anyway.

On the other hand, seeing Wang coming after him like a mad dog, Li Yan could only escape with all his might.

'Dignity won't keep me alive!' he let go of all of his pride and ran like a beast in heat.

Wang made the mistake of looking behind him as he chased after the lone soul of Li Yan, only to curse loudly.

''Enough! Did your mother fuck a dragon or something?!''

Seeing the speed of the Emperor, he burned even more of his blood essence to desperately become as fast as he could be.

The Emperor was approaching him faster than anything he saw before. His body was covered by a flaming dragon from head to toe and there were additional small dragons around his limbs that seemed to give extra strength to them.

The Emperor ignored Wang's attempt at taunting and answered seriously, partly because he wanted to scare Wang and break his mentality.

''Hmph! Don't you know the creator of this Empire is the most beloved son of the Unmatched Emperor? My ancestor had the misfortune of being the least talented son of the Unmatched Emperor, but he was still an incredible genius with flame techniques!'' he puffed his chest in pride.

''The Unmatched Emperor couldn't stand such a genius mind getting wasted because of his untalented body and personally slew the King of Dragons and extracted his essence blood to create a new bloodline for my ancestor! We don't only have the bloodline of the strongest human to ever exist, but also the strongest dragon to ever exist and the greatest genius to ever exist!'' by the end of his sentence he had already caught up to the seriously injured Wang.

Unfortunately for him, Wang had also caught up to his target, Li Yan.

Wang held onto Li Yan as if his life depended on it. He grasped his neck with his right arm and opened his left hand that spew out purple gas to stop the Emperor as if to warn him.

His eyes went between the tense Emperor and his advisor who was holding Li Jing in his arm.

Seeing that the advisor had no intention to hurt her yet, his attention went to the Emperor of the Glorious Yang Empire.

He was tense but there wasn't a single drop of sweat on him. He didn't look exhausted in any way and his eyes were still as determined as ever.

Compared to him, Wang himself was a mess.

The wound on his stomach kept growing larger and larger at a slow but steady pace. The amount of blood he lost, how exhausted he was, treasures on his body, the spiritual energy left in his body... He didn't see a way out of this alive, not to mention defeating the Emperor and his advisor, but just defeating the Emperor alone seemed impossible.

But he didn't let desperation take over him.

''Emperor, I have come to bargain!''
