Under his gaze, the usually gentle five-dimensional beings couldn't suppress their anger.
The Yellow Emperor, a true sovereign, did not relinquish the right to speak first. He took a step forward, his imposing figure bringing an air of authority that pressured the prideful opponent. "Molgaran, state your name and purpose for coming here," he demanded with a regal tone.
The lead Molgaran's arrogant demeanor diminished. He looked at the Yellow Emperor and said, "I am the Chief of Staff of the Molgara Planet's military, equivalent to a Corps Chief of Staff on Earth. However, we don't have as many people as Earthlings, so our army is naturally smaller but vastly superior in quality! My name is Mosoyev." Speaking in impeccable Mandarin, Mosoyev continued, "I am here on behalf of our ruler, Lingbao Zunwang, and the Chief of the Military, Duobao Dasheng, to borrow something."
Upon hearing this, the Yellow Emperor and Master Wang exchanged a glance, both frowning slightly.
The Yellow Emperor asked calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, your Lingbao Zunwang must also be from our world, correct?"
Mosoyev responded, "I cannot disclose that. I can only say that our ruler is a great deity who created us and lives among us."
The Yellow Emperor did not press further, "What is it that you want to borrow?"
"We want the Treasured Cauldron and the Divine Blade from your five-dimensional world," Mosoyev replied with a smile.
Hearing that they wanted the Treasured Cauldron, the Yellow Emperor lost his composure. The Treasured Cauldron was the supreme treasure of the five-dimensional space, a device that stabilized the space. Although it had no other practical use, it was a strategic asset, allowing armies to traverse dimensions and planes freely. The strategic significance was clear—if the Molgarans obtained it, it would become a platform for their invasions, leading to untold devastation across countless planes, planets, and races.
The Yellow Emperor firmly stated, "We will not lend you these items. Don't even think about it. Leave here immediately."
Mosoyev also frowned, "I am a soldier, a warrior. A warrior must complete his mission. We will not leave empty-handed. Although you five-dimensional beings are powerful, I advise you not to resist. Hand over the items, or this place will be laid to waste! I'm not joking."
The Yellow Emperor looked up, pleased, and said, "If you have the ability, then try and take them by force. Our guardians haven't exercised in a while. Let's see what you invaders are made of."
At that moment, dozens of knights appeared in the sky. Each knight rode a mythical beast—dragon riders, phoenix riders, unicorn riders, qilin riders, and pegasus riders. They each wielded heavy swords of ancient design, though clearly not made of bronze. The aura around these knights was vastly different from the harmonious energy of other five-dimensional beings. Their energy was powerful and violent, with a deep and terrifying presence. Cold eyes gazed down upon the small beings below.
The Yellow Emperor, exuding an air of superiority, looked at the ignorant Molgarans, saying nothing further.
Mosoyev and his Molgaran comrades were visibly shocked but did not lose their composure as professional soldiers. Mosoyev drew a short sword from his waist. The sword looked more like an artifact than a weapon, a classic Chinese blade adorned with a lifelike black dragon, giving the illusion of movement. The hilt was encrusted with a fiery red gem, like a flickering flame, captivating everyone's attention. The entire sword was only twenty centimeters long.

Upon seeing the short sword, the Yellow Emperor suddenly shouted to the guardians, "Attack immediately! Don't let him release the Black Dragon Sword. Finish this quickly, leave no survivors."
The guardians, hearing the elder's command, dove down on their mythical beasts to attack the Molgarans. The twenty Molgaran warriors leapt into the air to meet the guardians. These Molgaran warriors lived up to their reputation as a powerful warrior race, requiring no weapons. They deflected heavy sword strikes with their arms, counterattacking effectively. The heavy swords bounced off their bodies as if striking a truck tire, while their attacks were equally ineffective against the guardians. Both sides possessed rubber-like bodies immune to physical attacks. Despite the mythical beasts, the guardians only had a slight upper hand.
Two pegasus knights charged at Mosoyev, determined to execute the elder's order and kill him before he could use the short sword. Their bravery was commendable, but their opponent was out of their league. As they swung their heavy swords at Mosoyev, he vanished from their sight. In an instant, Mosoyev appeared above them, releasing the Black Dragon Sword. The short sword transformed into a two-meter-long black dragon, wrapped in lightning-like power, piercing the two pegasus knights as easily as a spike through tofu. The knights had no chance to use their last-ditch efforts before losing their lives. Their pegasus mounts cried out in sorrow.
As Mosoyev prepared to strike the pegasi again with the Black Dragon Sword, a golden sword flew into the air, transforming into a three-meter-long golden dragon that intercepted the black dragon. The golden dragon, radiating light, clashed with the lightning-wrapped black dragon in a fierce battle.
Tang Xiaojie had thrown the Divine Blade, which transformed into a golden dragon, battling the black dragon sword's form. He then launched himself at Mosoyev.
Without exchanging any more words, the two fought hand-to-hand in the air. Zhuzi and Master Wang rushed to aid the other guardians against the Molgaran warriors. Yue Nannan and Fuli flew up to support Xiaojie.
The Molgarans, known as a powerful warrior race and universal bandits, had not anticipated encountering such formidable opponents. Mosoyev, wielding the Black Dragon Sword, believed that despite the five-dimensional beings' strength, they would be helpless against this artifact meant for slaughter. He did not expect a powerful five-dimensional being to master the Divine Blade, capable of countering the Black Dragon Sword. Even more unexpected was the combat prowess of the Divine Blade's wielder, aided by two skilled women. Mosoyev found himself overwhelmed. In less than ten seconds, he received six punches, a kick, and a piercing sword strike from Xiaojie, along with three devastating elbow strikes from Yue Nannan. Fuli, too, proved a formidable opponent, leveraging her five-dimensional abilities to strike from a distance, landing powerful blows.
Proud Mosoyev did not last a minute, falling to Xiaojie's palm sword strike through his chest. The Molgaran Chief of Staff died without knowing his killer's name.
With Mosoyev's life extinguished, the Black Dragon Sword lost its elemental power, reverting to its original form and flying towards Xiaojie. He felt a special, friendly energy emanating from the sword as he caught it with both hands—Divine Blade in his right, Black Dragon Sword in his left.
"Oh my, the Black Dragon Sword chose a new master upon Mosoyev's death," the Yellow Emperor exclaimed in astonishment. "Is this a gift from the heavens?"
"It's a gift from the Molgarans, specifically for Xiaojie!" Yue Nannan said with a smile.
With Master Wang and Zhuzi's help, most of the twenty Molgarans were slain. Despite their physical immunity to conventional attacks, they were vulnerable to magical and martial attacks. With Mosoyev and most of their comrades dead, the two surviving Molgaran warriors surrendered.
Under the Yellow Emperor's command, the guardians cleaned the battlefield, escorting the two prisoners to the underground chamber of the Sky Tower for interrogation. Fuli was assigned to bury the two fallen pegasus knights.
After making all the arrangements, the Yellow Emperor looked at Tang Xiaojie and the others with a bitter smile, "It seems the five-dimensional space is about to plunge into war."
Xiaojie replied, "Didn't you sense the impending danger long ago?"
The two shared a knowing smile and walked hand in hand into the Sky Tower.
