“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Inside Dragon City’s imperial palace, various energies and special effects erupted madly as if they cost nothing. Even though many buildings were protected by formations, they still trembled violently!
The Stone Statue Clan’s high-ranking members manifested their bloodline, the Dragon Clan’s high-ranking members manifested their true forms—this level of battle was truly intense, even comparable to ten thousand years ago when the Ten Great Immortal Sects fought the Demon Ancestor.
Of course.
Because it was inside the Dragon Domain, no matter how much chaos erupted internally, no one outside knew.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
High above, Dragon Might beams bombarded down frequently like artillery shells.
The Azure Nether Dragon King, manifested in his true form, grew angrier the more he fought, but still couldn’t overcome Gongsun Ruoli. He even became convinced in his heart that this woman had definitely touched the threshold of the third step!
Mid-air.
The high-ranking members of both clans fought to the death!
At low altitude, a strong bloody smell drifted.
Jun Changxiao wielded the Death God’s Scythe, sweeping through dragon beasts one after another.
Severed limbs, scales, dragon tendons, and dragon whiskers scattered all over the ground—the scene was simply comparable to a slaughterhouse!
In terms of pure strength, he couldn’t match the Azure Nether Dragon King or the Dragon Clan’s high-ranking members, but with various trump cards and the Difficult-to-Retrieve Blade’s enhancement, dealing with the small fry surging in from outside the palace was definitely no problem!
Since the Outer Domain Battlefield, Jun Changxiao had rarely engaged in frenzied killing.
This time, because Xiao Longlong’s life or death was unknown, he’d truly entered a berserk state.
“It’s necessary to remind the host.”
The system spoke up, “There are at least several hundred thousand Dragon Clan warriors in Dragon City. Relying on you alone, you may not be able to eliminate them all.”
“I don’t care!”
Jun Changxiao’s eyes red, declared, “Whoever comes, I’ll kill!”
“…”
The system was speechless.
What I mean is the Difficult-to-Retrieve Blade has a time limit. If you can’t eliminate them, you’ll definitely be eliminated by them.
Though the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers and several hundred Stone Statue Clan elites had good combat power, ultimately they were on enemy territory. Fighting a protracted battle, they’d definitely be exhausted to death!
Jun Changxiao realized this problem and felt quite annoyed in his heart.
If he’d known, he should have gone to the Eternal Ages Sect at the start and summoned the Dark Destroyer God and the million-strong Demon Delusion Army!
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Right then, even more Dragon Clan warriors surged forward.
Jun Changxiao had no time to think. He once again swung the Death God’s Scythe, erupting with spatial power, mercilessly harvesting dragon beasts one after another.
Any Dragon Clan member with intelligence would realize that Dog Leftovers was currently in a strong period and should avoid his sharp edge, but they still rushed forward one after another like moths to a flame!
Aside from the Azure Nether Dragon King’s trusted followers, most Dragon Clan warriors were completely beyond their own control, because they were all controlled by the Dragon Emperor’s Might. In their consciousness, there was only one thought: annihilate the invading Stone Statue Clan.
“Die!”
“Die!”
Wherever the scythe passed, blood flew everywhere.
Jun Changxiao didn’t care whether they were controlled or not. Any invader would die beneath his blade!
At this critical juncture, if he still worried about morality and mercy, then he’d be the one to die.
However.
More and more Dragon Clan warriors poured into the Dragon Palace under the Dragon Emperor’s Might’s summoning. Even though Jun Changxiao kept harvesting, their numbers didn’t decrease but increased!
And this was just Dragon City.
As the Dragon Might’s power continued to spread, clan members from other cities would definitely come to kill as well.
The Azure Nether Dragon King spewed several powerful beams in succession and roared, “You’ll all die!”
At this point, he wouldn’t let the Stone Statue Clan go, much less Jun Changxiao, so he madly released Dragon Might, summoning clan members from even farther away to join the battle!
“Treating your clan members’ lives as worthless.”
Jun Changxiao said coldly, “Even if you have the Dragon Emperor’s Body, you’re not fit to be the Dragon Clan’s emperor!”
“Whether this Emperor is fit to be Dragon Emperor isn’t for an outsider like you to say!” The Azure Nether Dragon King opened his massive maw, spewing dozens of Dragon Might cannonballs in succession. Half bombarded toward Gongsun Ruoli, half toward Dog Leftovers!
He’d coveted the Dragon Emperor’s position for tens of thousands of years. Today, when he was finally about to ascend, anyone who questioned him had to die!
The temptation of power.
Made the Azure Nether Dragon King seem to fall into a frenzied state.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Gongsun Ruoli neutralized the cannonballs attacking her, then blocked the other half and neutralized them, saying coldly, “A stolen Dragon Emperor’s Body—even sitting on the Dragon Throne would be illegitimate!”
She didn’t understand the specific situation.
But she could roughly guess.
Combined with previously being snubbed by the Dragon Clan and the Great Sacrificial Priest’s abnormal behavior, this Azure Nether Dragon King had very likely seized the Dragon Emperor’s Body, then controlled the Dragon Clan’s high-ranking members.
What made Gongsun Ruoli even more certain of her guess was: inheriting the Dragon Emperor position was such a major event, why hadn’t the other three Dragon Kings come?
Two possibilities.
Either they were controlled by the Azure Nether Dragon King, or they’d already been eliminated.
Jun Changxiao thought of this too.
He didn’t care about the three Dragon Kings’ fates. He only cared about Xiao Longlong!
My contracted beast met with misfortune.
Your entire Dragon Clan will accompany him in burial!
Peppa was the first contracted beast, true, but when it came to the weight they occupied in his heart, Xiao Longlong clearly ranked a bit higher. After all, they’d first communicated through language, and though nominally master and servant, they were better than brothers.
“Die!”
Jun Changxiao’s eyes were bloodshot as he went berserk. The Death God’s Scythe swung madly, and blade auras tearing through space mercilessly harvested Dragon Clan warriors one after another.
Unfortunately.
As time passed.
More and more Dragon Clan members surged in from other cities.
The system said, “The Difficult-to-Retrieve Blade has 20 minutes left of effectiveness. The host fundamentally can’t kill them all. Better retreat quickly!”
“If I retreat.”
Jun Changxiao roared, “Who will avenge Xiao Longlong!”
“…”
The system was speechless.
“I know you can manifest physically. I know your strength is unfathomable. After I can’t fight anymore, can you appear and help me annihilate the entire Dragon Clan, even at a terrible cost!” Jun Changxiao said resolutely in his heart.
“…”
The system said, “For one contracted beast, is it worth it?”
Jun Changxiao’s thoughts drifted to the past, returning to when he’d spent vast amounts of crystal cores to mutate that egg, then personally watched it hatch, and awakening its first form as it took him to experience flight for the first time. The corners of his mouth gradually lifted in a smile. “Worth it.”
“Human emotions are difficult for me to understand.”
“However…”
The system paused, then said, “Since you’re risking your life like this, I’ll help…”
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, turbulence came from the firmament.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
In moments, hundreds of warriors wearing uniform attire appeared out of thin air.
Behind them gradually materialized three thousand pitch-black mechas. Around them gradually gathered tens of thousands of well-equipped soldiers, and… an incomparably massive Kun!
Gah!
The experts of both clans locked in fierce battle were dumbfounded.
When uninvited guests suddenly arrive, anyone would instinctively make a question mark face.
Demon King Zilin, who’d just illegally smuggled everyone into Dragon City, discovered that the densely packed Dragon Clan below had manifested their true forms and were staring at him. His mouth twitched. “The spatial fluctuations here are too great. Concealment in the Void has failed!”
“Sect Master!”
Yao Mengying cried out in alarm.
“Sect Master my ass!” Hall Master Zi said in despair. “Run quickly!”
Just as he was preparing to flee, a familiar yet bewildered voice came from below: “Why are you all here?”
Gah!
Demon King Zilin froze, quickly looking down. Soon, within the encirclement of densely packed Dragon Clan warriors, he saw the Sect Master and stood there dumbstruck.
Big brother!
How did you get here!
Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and the others also spotted Jun Changxiao, and great joy appeared on their faces.
“Sect Master!”
Black Rakshasa, the most composed, quickly said, “The Dragon Clan’s Azure Nether Dragon King forcibly stripped away Xiao Longlong’s Dragon Emperor Body and pinned him to a dragon pillar. We came to rescue him!”
Space, air.
Seemed to freeze in an instant.
“Step!”
Jun Changxiao landed on the shattered martial arts arena, his head lowering slightly. Surrounding broken stones and dust gradually floated upward.
“My son…”
Gongsun Ruoli was stunned.
“Swish!”
Just then, Jun Changxiao suddenly raised his head.
His petrified skin gradually darkened. Towering flames manifested around his body. His face twisted, veins bulging, eyes splitting with fury, he roared, “Raze Dragon City to the ground!”
