Dragon Tamer

Chapter 572: Chapter 574: The Strong are Respected
 

The horrific Lotus Fire blossomed more perfectly, while Nan Xiong Peng Hu was blasted into pieces, his body’s evil insects incinerated by the Sword Lotus Fire, and his bones were burned to ash!

As his demonic body disintegrated in the raging Lotus Fire, Nan Xiong Peng Hu reverted to his original form, panic-stricken, trying to escape from the spreading sword fire.

He rushed towards the Demon Crow Soldiers, ordering the beleaguered soldiers to protect him.

However, the Demon Crow Soldiers had seen him devour Sect Master Du Yang of the Sect Palace, and those evil insects were clearly attempting to devour them as well, to replenish his Demonic Dragon Evil Body.

If he still had formidable strength at this time, the soldiers might not dare to disobey, but now struggling to ensure their own survival, they dared not protect this lord who might offer them as sacrifices at any moment!

Nan Xiong Peng Hu was indeed reaping what he had sown. He fled towards the city, and just then, a green thunderbolt struck like a pillar from the sky, hitting Nan Xiong Peng Hu’s fleeing figure and pulverizing his body.

Zhu Minglang caught up with him, accompanied, of course, by the ancient sword with a divinely strange aura.

The ancient sword swept out glamorously, its sword light like a crescent moon, slicing across Peng Hu’s body, now reverted to human form!

Peng Hu could no longer resist this time, he was cleaved in half at the waist, his upper body slowly falling to the ground, his face twisted with grotesque flesh riddled with pain and unwillingness!

The other side knew everything.

As the incarnation of the Evil Dragon, he was actually the hardest to kill because as long as a Blood Leech Dragon escaped, he could devour living beings to recover.

Unfortunately for him, Zhu Minglang had thoroughly uncovered his abilities. When dealing with those insignificant evil insects as far as the battle was concerned, Zhu Minglang was fully committed to ensuring not a single centipede-like evil insect was overlooked.

“I am taking your Evil Dragon Demon Bead as well,” Zhu Minglang extended his hand, beginning the process of Soul Collecting Pearl Brewing.

The Eyeless Evil Dragon’s Soul Bead was of extremely high quality, and the inhabiting evil dragon fostered by Nan Xiong Peng Hu was similarly condensed with essence…

After perfectly collecting the Soul Bead, Zhu Minglang then turned around, planning to exterminate those Demon Crow Cultivators.

Among the Sudden Attack Team were several King-Level Realm powerhouses, such as Wang Beiyou from the Purple Sect Clan, Elder Jing Lin from Zhu Gate, and Zhao ChiShun from the Royal Family, who were gradually gaining the upper hand.

And his sister-in-law, Nan Lingsha’s strength also brought no small surprise to Zhu Minglang; her Chi Dragon and Fire Kilin Dragon were both of Dragon King strength.

The Fire Kilin Dragon must have consumed Platinum Cultivation Fruits, and its cultivation base was raised recently, but what puzzled Zhu Minglang was why Nan Lingsha’s Fire Kilin Dragon did not require the assistance of a Heavenly Earth Divine Root Variant to ascend directly to the King Level.

Could it be that the descendants of these Ancestral Dragons under Nan Lingsha possessed a high destiny?

Zhu Minglang now knew that beings with high destinies do not need to cross the Ascending Tribulation; as long as they accumulate enough cultivation base, they will enter the next realm!

Thus, it seems that the Ancestral Dragon descendants have a certain divine form, and breaking through the King-Level Realm is not difficult.

Compared to that, Prince Zhao Yu’s Fire Chi Dragon, likely a hybrid Ancestral Dragon, had a not-so-high destiny.

Zhu Minglang was now increasingly in sync with the Sword Spirit Dragon. As he approached those Demon Crow Soldiers, he didn’t need to control it with his mind; the Sword Spirit Dragon killed all the enemies along his path.

All were throat-sealing strikes from the Sword Spirit Dragon, which killed its victims with artistic flair; the smallest of sword wounds would result in the most exaggerated gush of blood. The Demon Crow Soldiers fell one after another into pools of their own blood, while Zhu Minglang strolled leisurely through the chaotic slaughter, seemingly out of place amidst the struggle of these common mortals.

The strength displayed by Zhu Minglang was like writing three words on his face, “Don’t provoke me.”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Without Nan Xiong to lead them, the Demon Crow Soldiers, high cultivation base notwithstanding, gradually fell into disarray and defeat.

Nearly five thousand Demon Crow Soldiers, without anyone realizing it, were whittled down to just over a thousand; these survivors chose to scatter and flee, hiding within the intricate structures of Absolute Ridge Chengbang, behind those strange and massive statues.

The others did not pursue them, since they had a more important mission at hand: to pass through the city’s back to the front lines, joining forces with the troops of Li Chuan to execute a pincer move and eventually rendezvous.

With the intercepting city troops annihilated, a mere step forward would now pose a great threat to Absolute Ridge Chengbang, forcing them to divide their attention and contain this Sudden Attack Team that stormed into their city with no restraint!

The back city defenses of Absolute Ridge Chengbang were quite weak; once broken through, the Sudden Attack Team, with their Monarch Level cultivation bases, would be like flood dragons entering the sea, capable of causing massive upheaval!

“You killed Nan Xiong??” Zhao ChiShun of the Royal Family looked down at the corpse, his face etched with surprise.

At that moment, Wang Beiyou, the Hall Master from the Purple Sect Clan, couldn’t help but lift his head to gaze upon the sky above, where tens of thousands of Dragon Beasts and birds had formed into a magnificent, terrifying cyclone of aerial combat. Dominating this battleground from above was Zhu Minglang’s Azure Dragon, having just ascended through tribulation!

Under the lofty deterrence of the Azure Dragon and with the aid of a Flying Sword Spirit Dragon, Zhu Minglang had slain a great general of Absolute Ridge Chengbang. This display of strength caused the group leaders of these powerful forces to feel embarrassed by their own inferiority!

“Which way do we go now?” Hall Master Wang Beiyou asked.

The eyes of Zhao ChiShun from the Royal Family and several other faction leaders all fell upon Zhu Minglang.

By now, everyone had realized who the true powerhouse in their midst was. In the realm of cultivators, the strong are revered, and they were all more than willing to take orders from Zhu Minglang!

“Drive straight through; cut down any who block our path!” Zhu Minglang declared.

“Good, let’s show these Absolute Ridge savages the iron fist of the Supreme Court. Charge!” Hall Master Wang Beiyou shouted loudly.

The members of the Purple Sect Clan and others also began to shout, for it was crucial to keep morale high in such a battle situation.

They cut their way through enemy ranks, and by the time they joined forces with the front lines, they would be one of the great heroes in the campaign against Absolute Ridge Chengbang and the purge of the Supreme Court’s foreign races, earning a reputation in the Asura Field that far surpassed those of the falsely famed wandering cultivators!

Li Chuan was now a vast pool of wealth, with each major power grabbing the most advantageous areas, and there was competition among their own ranks. Whether they could secure more resources depended on their performance in this campaign. Those who gained the upper hand under the influence of the World Dragon Gate could suddenly surpass the Sect’s elite of the same generation!!

“Zhu Minglang, did your sister ever mention something to you?” Nan Yuso asked, reminding him.

Zhu Minglang nodded.

Li Xinghua was a Prophet, and she had divined the secret of Absolute Ridge Chengbang within the ancient relics of the city.

When the group breached the back city and entered the city proper, Zhu Minglang noticed an area enclosed by giant statues, heavily guarded and imposing!
