It is often said, "don't hit the face when beating a man, don't expose secrets when criticizing people." However, Xiao Chong's words had blatantly exposed too many faults. Upon hearing Xiao Chong's remark, the Ironwood Ancestor's face immediately darkened. "Good! Good! Good! Xiao Chong of the Xiao Family from the Arlen Galaxy? I've heard about you for a long time, but I never thought that your tongue is as sharp as your reputation suggests. Let me see if your abilities are as agile as your tongue!" The Ironwood Ancestor's gaze flashed coldly as he spoke solemnly. "Boom!" As his words fell, a strong Domain Power surged from the Ironwood Ancestor, instantly suppressing Xiao Chong. "Well, afraid of you?" Xiao Chong sneered and said. "Boom!" Simultaneously, a powerful Domain Power burst from him to resist the pressure of the Ironwood Ancestor's Domain Power. Compared to the Ironwood Ancestor's domineering Domain Power, Xiao Chong's was much gentler. Highest goodness is like water, water nurtures all things without contention. Like water, Xiao Chong's Domain Power was all-embracing. Xiao Chong had long admired Ironwood Ancestor, although the two had not fought before. According to what Xiao Chong had heard, Ironwood Ancestor's abilities were far superior to his past abilities. However, thousands of years had passed, and his current strength was incomparable to the past. He wanted to use this battle with the Ironwood Ancestor to measure his current strength. "If there's going to be a fight, how can it go on without us — husband and wife?" At that moment, Lianshan and Huayang simultaneously stepped forward in perfect harmony, and Lianshan laughed heartily. "Boom! Boom!" While speaking, two strong Domain Powers erupted from them, quickly merging to form an even more powerful Domain Power, vast and magnificent. Perhaps, this conflict with the Ironwood Ancestor was not beneficial for their future as a couple. However, it also provided an opportunity for them to deepen their relationship with Lin Yun and his team. After this incident, the stronger the Ironwood Ancestor and Marvel Family targeted them, the deeper their relationship with Lin Yun and his team would become. They didn't want to miss this opportunity. Seeing Lianshan and Huayang take action together, the complexion of the Ironwood Ancestor changed again. He had attacked because Xiao Chong had exposed too many of his shortcomings. If he didn't take action, what dignity would remain for him, the Ironwood Ancestor, and the Marvel Family? How could they continue to mix in the Ninth Level Civilization Star Domain? Moreover, just now, though Xiao Chong and the other Half Step Super Warriors stood up for Lin Yun, he thought that might have been just a casual remark they made because they were on the same side as Lin Yun. Plus, the total strength of all these people was not weak, giving them the confidence to speak as they did. If they didn't say anything and just handed over the person, wouldn't it be too humiliating? In this world everyone was concerned about saving face, and he understood that very well! He thought that once he truly engaged, there would be only a few willing to take action for Lin Yun! If it were only two or three people who took action, he thought he could handle it! However, he didn't expect... as soon as Xiao Chong took action... Lianshan and Huayang followed suit... These three were the ones he was most concerned about! If Xiao Chong had taken action a little later, followed by Lianshan and Huayang, he wouldn't have been so worried! He thought that after quickly suppressing Xiao Chong, those who wanted to take action would have to think carefully if they dared to take action! Even if they did, by then, he would have almost completely suppressed Xiao Chong, and he could free his hands to deal with the others! That was the main reason he decided to act decisively! He knew very well that in dangerous situations like these, one cannot hesitate. The brave succeeded, combating fear and insecurity to ultimately emerge victoriously, and make these people turn over Lin Yun! Lin Yun was extremely important to him! He couldn't possibly give up! However, he had not expected Xiao Chong, Lianshan, and Huayang to take action together... His pupils constricted slightly! Xiao Chong's track record indicated that he once fought against three opponents simultaneously and forced them to retreat. Perhaps for various reasons, Xiao Chong's power wasn't as strong as in the legends. However, without the power of three Half-Step Super Warriors, there wouldn't be much difference! As for Lianshan and Huayang, judging by their display of Domain Power merging swiftly together, it seemed that their combined strength could indeed match that of three Half-Step Super Warriors! Therefore, their collective force equaled that of six Half-Step Super Warriors! This battle… would undoubtedly be troublesome! To defeat them, he must first bring out his trump card and defeat one of Lianshan and Huayang. Consequently, the momentum of Lianshan and Huayang's combined attack would be broken, causing the remaining person's strength to greatly decline. This would essentially mean that he would only have to face Xiao Chong and a regular Half-Step Super Warrior, simplifying the situation significantly! This was the best way to break the deadlock! In an instant, such a thought flashed through Ironwood Ancestor's mind. He murmured to himself in the dark. "Boom!" As the thought crossed his mind, he acted immediately. A situation that seemed complicated was resolved in an instant. When he saw Lianshan and Huayang make their move, he amplified the power of his domain. A magical artifact appeared in the palm of his hand, emitting an intense light. However, just as he was about to launch the artifact at Lianshan and Huayang— "Rumble! Rumble!" The situation suddenly changed again. Qing Luo, Meng Black, and Emma White all released their powerful Domain Power. "I'm in!" "And me!" Qing Luo and Meng Black both shouted. Truthfully, Qing Luo and Meng Black were a bit hesitant about crossing the Ironwood Ancestor. After all, they knew clearly that the Ironwood Ancestor was a Half-Step Super Warrior who was even more formidable than Xiao Chong. Not to mention, there was the powerful Marvel Family backing him. The two of them were just normal Half-Step Super Warriors whose skills were slightly better than the average. Half-Step Super Warriors like Xiao Chong, Lianshan, and Huayang, who either possessed tremendous individual strength or cooperation, were not particularly fearful of revenge from Ironwood Ancestor and the Marvel Family. After all, if they could not be defeated, they could always escape. Ironwood Ancestor and the Marvel Family would not go too far unless they were absolutely sure they could kill Xiao Chong, Lianshan, and Huayang. After all, Ironwood Ancestor and the Marvel Family had substantially more at stake and they had to consider the impact on the other members of their family. Creating endless trouble by battling against undying Half-Step Super Warriors would not be wise. However, killing less powerful Half-Step Super Warriors like him was significantly more feasible for the Ironwood Ancestor and the Marvel Family. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the normal Half-Step Super Warriors would not dare to offend Ironwood Ancestor and the Marvel Family. However, seeing Lianshan and Huayang stepping up had stirred their hearts deeply. They didn't know much about Lin Yun and his comrades' identities, but the fact that Xiao Chong, Lianshan, and Huayang were defending them so vehemently, coupled with Lianshan's previous words, made the risk seem worthwhile. They had broken through to the Half-Step Super Warrior level hundreds of thousands of years ago. Hundreds of thousands of years later, they were only slightly stronger than average Half-Step Super Warriors but were still considered ordinary. The further they practiced, the harder it became. If nothing unexpected happened, they reckoned that even after hundreds of thousands of years, their strength would still likely remain the same. Their future prospects of becoming Super Realm were very slim. This future... wasn't what they wanted. Back in the day, they had advanced swiftly, reaching the Half-Step Super Realm effortlessly, proving themselves to be the elites among the elites! They were not content to stop here! Therefore, they wanted to take this gamble! As they stepped forward, their eyes were also filled with a sharp gleam. At worst... after this affair, they could join some bigger forces. Being Half-Step Super Warriors themselves, seeking the protection of larger forces wouldn't be difficult! In that case, Ironwood Ancestor and the Marvel Family would have to tread carefully! Compared to Qing Luo and Meng Black, Emma White did not hesitate much when stepping forward. She had a good relationship with Xiao Chong. Xiao Chong's engagement in the fight meant that she would definitely join in as well. Furthermore, Lin Yun and his companions were traveling with them and had a major background, so she couldn't just stand by. "You—" Upon seeing Qing Luo, Meng Black, and Emma White standing out, Ironwood Ancestor's face changed dramatically once again. He scowled.
