Chapter 138: Chapter 139 Ultimate Predator
Translator: 549690339
At the Daguan Pavilion in Chi River, a resplendent hall draped with thin white gauze on either side, and carpeted within, stood a group of maids upright, their tall and captivating figures adding a charm to the scene…
They were serving four young men, among whom was Hao Shaocong.
Dressed in a black silk robe, his jet-black hair and eyes fixed coldly on Zhu Minglang’s position, he stared at the Black Azure Violent Dragon.
“Hmph, struggling so much just for an initial selection match. If one knew he’s nothing but trash, I would have buried him in Zhu Tong’s coffin that day, letting him sleep forever alongside Zhu Tong!” Hao Shaocong scoffed as he watched the scene on the battlefield.
“We didn’t ask you to go and apologize with a show of submission, but you insisted on going. If I accidentally kill a family servant, the first thing the family should do is come and apologize to me, worrying that their servant has annoyed me!” Zhao Xi said.
“It’s all because of my father. He said if I didn’t go, the Zhu Heavenly Official would definitely take my life. He claimed to understand the character of Zhu Heavenly Official, ” grumbled an angry Hao Shaocong.
The bruise on his forehead still hadn’t subsided, and now, with a swollen bump like the Antarctic Immortal, his forehead seemed to sport a longevity peach.
Every time he thought of the humiliation he suffered in the spirit hall, Hao Shaocong itched to leap into the Ancient Bronze Battlefield and slaughter Zhu
Minglang and his dragon!
“He should have passed this round, but in the next round, we’ll find a few reliable ones to see if we can kill all his dragons,” Zhao Xi said coldly.
“Just kill his dragons?” At that moment, a young man wearing an Imperial Brocade Robe laughed.
“This… Your Highness, Zhu Tong and Zhu Minglang are not on the same level. Zhu Minglang is from the Zhu Clan Inner Court and moreover, he’s the only son of Zhu Heavenly Official, and the close-door disciple of Zhu Xuehen. Grandfather is the Sword Honour of the Yao Mountain Sword Sect. If he dies, even our elders might not be able to withstand the wrath of these people,” Zhao Xi hesitantly replied.
“He wants to kill me, so I’ll kill him,” said Hao Shaocong, undeterred and discourteous in his remark.
“I was only speaking off the cuff. Hao Shaocong, did he truly say in the spirit hall that he would take your life in this grand competition?” The man in the Imperial Brocade Robe asked with a smile.
“Madame Zhao was there at the time, just ask Zhao Xi and you’ll know. This
Zhu Minglang is far too arrogant. Ever since he returned from the Yaoshan
Sword Sect, he never took any force’s scions seriously. Now, who in the Imperial City doesn’t know that his sword cultivator skills are ruined, yet he still doesn’t tuck his tail between his legs like a dog! I’d like to see how he plans to kill me. With that Violent Dragon that hasn’t even reached the Lord Level, it’s ludicrous!” Hao Shaocong said.
“In my view, he won’t make it past the second round.”
“Right, let’s finish him off in the second round; kill all the dragons he summons, snuffing out his ridiculous hope of rising through being a Dragon Shepherd! ”
“In the second round, are there any of our Royal Young Gang? It’s best to choose that kind of person for the task, you get what I mean?” said the man in the Imperial Brocade Robe.
“Of course, we understand Your Highness’s meaning…”
On the Ancient Bronze Battlefield, the Lei Cang Violent Dragon clashed once more with the Steel Thorn Azure Dragon.
From the dragon’s aura, it was evident that the Steel Thorn Azure Dragon was beginning to weaken.
The Lei Cang Violent Dragon grew more valiant as the battle went on, its ancient dragon blood flowing more profusely, intensifying the fiery intent for battle.
However, the wounds on the Steel Thorn Azure Dragon continued to deteriorate, expanding with every new injury, and with each additional wound its strength waned slightly.
“Detestable, utterly detestable, just a small step away!” Fu Jinguo couldn’t swallow this grievance.
In fact, her Steel Thorn Azure Dragon was in the midst of advancing. This process involved shedding its steel hide and thorn scales layer by layer. During this stage, the Steel Thorn Azure Dragon was temporarily unable to perform the Azure Dragon Mystics.
Had the Azure Dragon Mystics been bestowed, this Violent Dragon would have stood no chance, and a few collisions would have been enough to crush it, eliminating the need for what followed.
And yet, her Azure Dragon, on the brink of attaining the Lord Level, was unable to defeat a Dragon Beast with the cultivation base of a High-Rank Dragon General—a humiliating disgrace!
“Ooooohhhhhhh!!!! ”
The scales on the Lei Cang Violent Dragon remained saturated, an inexhaustible storm of lightning like colossal whips lashing ferociously onto the Steel Thorn Azure Dragon’s body.
Big Black Tooth’s thunder scales were drawn from the Soul Bead of the Lei Cang Azure Dragon; as long as there was enough energy to activate these thunder scales, their power wouldn’t be inferior to that of a Lord Level.
Therefore, this fierce lightning, the Steel Thorn Azure Dragon’s skin was already festering and rotten, how could it withstand attack after attack!
Finally, a female disciple of the Azure Dragon Palace, Fu Jinguo, who still retained a shred of reason, saw the Steel Thorn Azure Dragon continuing to suffer in battle from a distance. She opened the Recall Seal and took her severely wounded Steel Thorn Azure Dragon into her own Spirit Realm.
“You won, but your dragon is even more severely injured than mine!” Fu Jinguo admitted defeat but was not convinced at all.
Fu Jinguo was right; Big Black Tooth’s injuries were worse. There were hardly any patches of skin left intact on its body; Big Black Tooth was purely being supported by the Fierce Courage—a profoundly powerful war talent. In this state, Big Black Tooth’s life force would be several times more vigorous than that of other dragon species.
What would seem like severe wounds on an ordinary day were nothing more than common bite marks when the Fierce Courage bloodline was fully boiling.
In short, I might not be in better physical condition than you, but you will always collapse before me!
That’s just how it is for predators.
For predators, to fall meant death!
“Big Black Tooth, come back.” Zhu Minglang also felt distressed. His fine Big Black Dragon had turned into a blood-red dragon. Since the opponent had admitted defeat, there was no need to continue the fight.
Big Black Tooth was panting heavily, and even the dragon breath it exhaled was tinged with red flames of blood. Its eyes scanned the battlefield and saw that there were still many Dragon Beasts there.
It seemed to remember Zhu Minglang’s words; today’s training task was to clear all the dragons from the field.
Without waiting for Zhu Minglang to open the Recall Seal, the Lei Cang Violent Dragon had already pounced toward its next target—a two-tailed scissor-like Ancient Dragon!
Scissor Dragon!
It, too, was a predator of the jungle!
The Scissor Dragon was currently entangled in a battle with a Red Dragon, which spewed forth a magma from the earth that caused other Dragon Beasts to keep their distance, yet the Scissor Dragon was not afraid at all.
When the Lei Cang Violent Dragon stormed into the battlefield of these two dragons, it startled both the Scissor Dragon and the Red Dragon!
In terms of size, the Lei Cang Violent Dragon was twice as big as the Scissor Dragon and Red Dragon. Seeing a more powerful predator approach, they immediately ceased their relentless battle and formed an incredibly tacit alliance.
The Lei Cang Violent Dragon was not there to fight a solo battle. It lifted its huge dragon foot, its body glowing blood-red. As its foot stomped down, a terrifying trampling momentum spread towards the two dragons!
The Scissor Dragon and Red Dragon could hardly stand stable, and rather than flanking to strike, they lost their advantage.
The Lei Cang Violent Dragon arched its Tyrant Dragon body and revealed the heavy horn on its forehead. Then, with the attachment of lightning, its body seemed to gain an explosive power that transcended the limits of the flesh!
Thunder Horn Strike!!
Lightning burst forth, and the charging Lei Cang Violent Dragon turned completely into a chariot of thunder, the surface of the ground trembling violently.
The large rock columns in front of it could not pose any obstacle at all, and the columns crumbled like foam.
Caught in the trampling and unable to steady its steps, the Scissor Dragon was attacked by the terrifying Lei Cang Violent Dragon with rolls of thunder!
With that collision, the robust Scissor Dragon was sent flying a hundred meters away, its chest bones fractured beyond count.
When it heavily crashed to the ground, the Scissor Dragon’s owner was stunned.
Who exactly had they provoked? They had finally chosen an opponent that seemed evenly matched, and they didn’t truly intend to defeat that Red Dragon. It was only a matter of mutually stalling time, to scrape through for a place.
Who would have known that a Violent Dragon from the south would shatter his beautiful dream of advancing to the next round!
And that Red Dragon wasn’t really much better off than the Shearing Dragon.
The Lei Cang Violent Dragon spewed a breath of bloody fire, unleashing a tornado of flaming blood that swept up the molten lava strewn across the ground into its red breath whirlwind.
The Red Dragon had nowhere to hide and ultimately fell into the Chi River. its flaming body quenched by cool water, choking and suffering…
The Lei Cang Violent Dragon roared as if this was still not enough to satisfy its unquenched desire for battle.
Its large, crocodile eyes, filled with blood-red threads, were searching for the next dragon on the battlefield that could match its prowess as a predator.
Soon, the Lei Cang Violent Dragon set its sights on a Blue Tyrannosaurus, charging from one end of the Ancient Bronze Battlefield straight to the other, toward the Blue Tyrannosaurus that reigned supreme in another area.
The Blue Tyrannosaurus was even more massive, standing a whole ferocious head taller than the Lei Cang Violent Dragon.
Not to mention its body, which was like a small mountain of flesh, exuding an aura of being untouchable as it stood on the Ancient Bronze Battlefield.
The Lei Cang Violent Dragon charged and collided with the Blue Tyrannosaurus in the crudest physical confrontation.
With that collision, the Lei Cang Violent Dragon was sent flying backward, its bloody trails smeared on the ground, but those streaks of blood quickly ignited, turning into fervent vapors. As the Lei Cang Violent Dragon inhaled heavily through its nostrils, its bones emitted a series of explosive cracks!!
The potential hidden within its bones was once again ignited. Although the Lei Cang Violent Dragon was covered in wounds, it seemed to be constantly undergoing a transformation in this bloodied battle, growing stronger with each passing moment as long as it didn’t completely fall, as long as it didn’t stop breathing!
It got up.
Not willing to accept defeat!
Once more!!
After its bones exploded, the Lei Cang Violent Dragon’s aura grew fiercer.
It revealed its tattered Silver Green Heavy Armor, still covered with the thorny scales of the Steel Thorn Azure Dragon.
With its horns held high, it transformed into a primordial wild ox and once again charged toward the more imposing Blue Tyrannosaurus!
This time it was not sent flying. The Black Azure Violent Dragon, with its horns pressed against the Blue Tyrannosaurus’s mountainous body, managed to push it back, bit by bit.
The Blue Tyrannosaurus’s owner was atop its spine, feeling the stark difference between the first and second collisions, the middle-aged Dragon Trainer was incredibly astonished.
Seeing his Blue Tyrannosaurus being pushed towards a rocky pillar, the middle-aged Dragon Trainer immediately jumped down from its back, landing in a safe position.
Finally, the Blue Tyrannosaurus stopped, barely managing to hold its ground against the Lei Cang Violent Dragon’s brute force by backing against the massive stone pillar.
The Blue Tyrannosaurus’s forelimbs were relatively short; its main method of attack was its strong neck and the dragon teeth that could crush anything!
It swung its neck backward and then ferociously sideswiped at the Lei Cang Violent Dragon’s face, covering it in blood.
After licking the blood off its crocodilian face with a large tongue, the Lei Cang Violent Dragon stuck close to the Blue Tyrannosaurus again, using the rugged body of the Ancient Dragon to engage in a fierce battle of strength!!
“Mad dragon, this is truly a mad dragon!” the middle-aged Dragon Trainer cursed loudly.
There weren’t many people left on the Ancient Bronze Battlefield; as long as they cleared out those taking advantage of the chaos, everyone could advance to the next round together.
Why fight to the death at this moment? Could there be some deep-rooted hatred?
“Brother, please spare me. If your dragon defeats mine, you might also get eliminated,” the middle-aged Dragon Trainer said.
He didn’t belong to any particular faction; he was merely a wanderer who had come to the Imperial City, driven purely by the pursuit of substantial rewards in the next cycle.
Originally, with a steady and firm approach, relying on the strength of the Blue Tyrannosaurus, he basically could have lasted until the end…
Zhu Minglang, who had been trailing him all the way, didn’t answer the Dragon Shepherd’s pleas for mercy.
Big Black Tooth fought ferociously, bathed in blood; its current state was one of constant battle, continually crushing opponents to establish its sole dominion as the Emperor of Predators.
On normal days, it was rare for Big Black Tooth to find so many Dragon Beasts…
This battlefield felt like it could allow the Lei Cang Violent Dragon to undergo a transformative leap in strength.
What Big Black Tooth needed most was battle…
Constant battle, the incessant awakening of potential, the relentless breaking of the shackles of its own bloodline!!
Since it felt it wasn’t enough, how could Zhu Minglang stand in its way?
How it yearned to become as strong as the Ice Morning White Dragon!!
As a hybrid of Azure Dragon and Tyrant Dragon bloodlines, the Lei Cang
Violent Dragon had a biting force that definitely feared no other Dragon Clan.
Biting into the spine of the Blue Tyrannosaurus, Big Black Tooth ripped off a huge chunk of flesh, exposing one massive vertebra after another.
And Big Black Tooth itself was missing a large chunk from its chest, with part of its ribcage exposed, revealing the flowing blood within that was as vibrant as molten lava. Touching the external air, it scorched fiercely hot! Even so, the Lei Cang Violent Dragon felt no pain; instead, the Blue Tyrannosaurus howled in agony, retreating from the brutal close-quarter
biting.
Its retreat gave the Lei Cang Violent Dragon an excellent opportunity.
“Oh!!!!!!”
Rend Roar!!
The breath of its roar was tinged with blood-red; the wound on its chest was like the door of a furnace flung open, clearly displaying the fuel inside burning, bursting, and rolling wildly!
The Blood Flame Rend Roar struck the Blue Tyrannosaurus, tearing its wound even further.
The worsening wound didn’t significantly affect the Blue Tyrannosaurus, an Ancient Dragon with incredibly robust vitality, but the Blue Tyrannosaurus didn’t possess the Blood of Bravery. It couldn’t, like the Lei Cang Violent Dragon, nullify the pain on its body and transform the bled blood into its own berserk power…
Seriously injured meant seriously injured, with greatly reduced stamina and weakened combat ability, the Lei Cang Violent Dragon then charged at the Blue Tyrannosaurus once more!
“Bang!!!
Finally, the bigger-bodied Blue Tyrannosaurus was knocked down by the Black Azure Violent Dragon.
The Lei Cang Violent Dragon planted its foot on the body of the Blue Tyrannosaurus, its whole body covered in blood flames and lightning scales shimmering.
It lifted its head and roared furiously, the roar echoing across the Ancient Bronze Battlefield, as if proclaiming its position as the sole dominator of this territory! !
There were no stronger Ancient Dragons anymore!
Nor was there any other dragon species that could contend with it!!
It was the battlefield’s—Ultimate Predator!!
