Chapter 1769
Chapter 1769 (Raw 1781):
When Xiao Chen saw the six people outside the door, he instinctively felt a sense of familiarity.
A familiar bloodline flowed in the bodies of these people. He noticed it very easily.
The eyes of these people seemed familiar yet strange. He needed only one look to notice that.
However, he did not feel any sense of closeness. Instead, he turned cautious.
These newcomers are hostile!
These people's eyes did not contain any goodwill. They were guarded and grave.
The leader displayed hostility in his eyes, not hiding it at all.
In a mere instant, Xiao Chen understood what these people wanted. They were here for the so-called ancient Dragon Race totem.
He said directly, "I do not have the ancient Dragon Race totem. You also should know that even if the totem is hidden in a storage ring, the people of the Dragon Race can still feel it. You should have the answer you want now."
Then, a person walked forward from the back. It was Wu Xu.
This was the Dragon Race disciple that Liu Ruyue thought highly of. While he had a calmer and more stable character, he was not strong enough.
Wu Xu looked at Xiao Chen and found Xiao Chen's aura somewhat familiar.
However, Xiao Chen's aura also felt strange. Such a situation was not rare. Wu Xu thought that Xiao Chen was a Dragon Race disciple whose bloodline was especially thin.
Since Xiao Chen was not a Divine Dragon or a True Dragon like the coiling dragon, thunder dragon, or sky dragon, he should be a false dragon.
That was also what was termed as a mixed-blood dragon within the Dragon Race.
Wu Xu said seriously, "Don't worry. We do not have any malicious intentions. You do indeed not have the aura of the totem on you. However, our Holy Daughter would like to meet you to understand what happened."
Holy Daughter?
Xiao Chen pondered, feeling curious about this Holy Daughter.
However, he definitely could not go. One might know a person for a long time without understanding that person's true nature.
Most importantly, Xiao Chen could not speak about everything that happened in the underground dragon city, especially to the people of the Dragon Race. He had looted so many Dragon Race treasures and even inherited the Faux God Flame.
When the Holy Daughter asked about it, how would he alter the answer?
If he could not answer, it would still raise suspicions and create a conflict.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen made his decision. He rejected them, saying, "I have things to do. If you have any questions, you can ask me now. Furthermore, I do not have the Dragon Race totem and do not need to go with you."
Jiang Cheng smiled in disdain. "You are refusing? Do you think you have the right to refuse? You are just a lowly, mixed-blood dragon. Whether you have the totem or not, you don't have the final say. Senior Brother Wu was just being polite with you."
"What bold words! Are all the people of the Dragon Race as arrogant and self-absorbed as you?"
When Lan Luo, who was seated, heard the words "lowly, mixed-blood dragon," she felt an itch in her heart and immediately got upset.
She immediately stood up and went to Xiao Chen's side, glaring coldly at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng looked at Lan Luo's getup and figure. Then, he smiled coldly. "Those Noble Clan rich good-for-nothings of the dynasties might take the women of your Smiling Daughter Pavilion as some major characters, but to me, Jiang Cheng, you are just a pretty face. Scram to the side."
Right after Jiang Cheng spoke, he thrust his hand forward to slap her.
"How audacious!"
The situation infuriated Xiao Chen. He did not mind people calling him a mixed-blood dragon or things like that.
The strong had their grace. There was no need to bicker with just anyone.
However, those who humiliated Xiao Chen's friends were another story.
Without a thought, Xiao Chen's aura burst forth from his entire body, and he punched.
Ten Cauldron Force instantly erupted. The blow arrived first despite being launched later and struck Jiang Cheng's chest.
"Bang!" As the fist light was about to land, Jiang Cheng activated the Veritable Essence Energy in his body, forming a protective shield.
Jiang Cheng thought that he could easily block this punch.
Who knew, Xiao Chen's lightning-quick punch actually contained ten Cauldron Force. The collision of the two energies produced a huge shock wave.
The entire elegant room suddenly trembled, and the various decorations gave off a gentle light, trying to negate this spreading force.
However, the force that burst out was simply too strong.
The screens and painting lasted for only a moment before shattering with endless 'pinging' sounds.
This punch directly sent Jiang Cheng flying back, and he fell above the center of the hall.
The people in the rooms on that floor were all startled by the strange sound and came out to take a look.
These people saw Jiang Cheng crashing into the railing of the opposite corridor like a cannonball.
"Damn it!"
Jiang Cheng immediately became enraged. He bellowed, and an indistinct White Dragon image appeared behind him.
That White Dragon roared ferociously, appearing very fierce and scary.
A horrifying Dragon Might erupted from Jiang Cheng's body. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The windows in all directions shattered.
The cultivators watching from the railings could not block the Dragon Might and ended up getting blown back.
Wu Xu's expression changed slightly. His senior sister had repeatedly instructed them not to blow matters up.
However, things devolved to the current situation.
Xiao Chen felt the Dragon Might and saw a dragon-shaped shock wave surging over from the front, looking berserk and ferocious.
He took one step forward and reached out. Then, he pulled Lan Luo behind him, shielding her.
Xiao Chen's gaze turned cold. He threw a punch that was layered with the Azure Dragon's Dragon Might, erupting with ten Cauldron Force.
"Boom!" The dragon-shaped shock wave immediately shattered.
"Whoosh!"
After this punch, Xiao Chen gently pushed off with his feet, unwilling to bring the battle into the room and implicate Lan Luo.
He directly charged out to the hall and started an intense fight with Jiang Cheng in midair.
Two dragons fought each other, clashing without giving way.
In just the blink of an eye, the two exchanged ten moves.
To others, it looked like two different dragon images fighting and roaring in the air. A terrifying Dragon Might spread out.
The protective formations in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion trembled continuously under the impact of the two's fight. The entire building shook as if it would crumble at any moment.
The fight between the two was just like one between Star-Venerate-level experts, possibly even a higher level and more intense.
The experts guarding the Smiling Daughter Pavilion had long been startled. However, when they saw the scene in the air, their expressions turned unsightly. They did not dare to make a move.
"What's going on?"
Just at this moment, the highest-ranking manager appeared and asked about the situation.
"It's the people of the Dragon Race. One of them seems to be of the White Dragon bloodline, one of the Six Colored Divine Dragons."
The people of the Dragon Race?
That manager could not help sucking in a breath of chilly air. These people had too great a background. He could not handle this at all.
This was not the Yanwu Dynasty's capital. The manager did not dare to offend the people of the Six Colored Divine Dragons in this Soaring Dragon City at all.
This was the genuine bloodline of the Great Desolate Hundred Races, an overlord-level bloodline. Such people would be outstanding talents even in the Central Great Realm.
Not many people dared to offend such people.
Xiao Chen, who was fighting with Jiang Cheng, felt somewhat surprised. Jiang Cheng's cultivation was very similar to his, but Jiang Cheng could still burst out with astonishing strength, not weaker than a Star Venerate.
This was the first time Xiao Chen met with such an opponent with the same cultivation.
Just any one person of the Dragon Race is already this strong?
Xiao Chen was unavoidably somewhat disappointed at this thought. If that was the case, then would that Dragon God Crown Prince be even stronger?
Upon seeing the expression on Xiao Chen's face, Jiang Cheng smiled coldly and said, "It is not too late to surrender now. Later, you won't even get a chance to surrender."
Xiao Chen could not help being stunned. Then, he smiled. "You are overthinking."
He was indeed disappointed. However, it was not because of Jiang Cheng.
Xiao Chen had simply seen that the other party was not the strongest person in the Dragon Race.
Yet, Jiang Cheng already had such strength. This showed that there was still a huge gap between Xiao Chen and the Dragon God Crown Prince.
However, Jiang Cheng assumed that Xiao Chen feared him.
"Overthinking? You are just a lowly, mixed-blood dragon. I am indeed overthinking. In that case, die!"
Xiao Chen's mocking expression incensed Jiang Cheng. He thought himself of high status, placing heavy emphasis on the nobility of bloodlines.
The pride in Jiang Cheng's heart did not permit a mixed-blood dragon, like Xiao Chen, to mock him.
Jiang Cheng immediately activated his Great Desolate Eon bloodline. In that instant, his aura rampantly grew stronger.
The White Dragon image behind Jiang Cheng turned very realistic at this moment.
The dragon eyes became scarlet, and an ancient Great Desolate Eon Dragon Might reappeared in the world.
The Dragon Might spreading in the air turned incredibly heavy right away, feeling like it was solid.
"Creak! Creak!"
A few of the pillars supporting the building started to give way and fall out. It was like the building would really collapse.
"I'll show a lowly, mixed-blood dragon like you what a truly noble bloodline is!"
Jiang Cheng lost all patience and roared. Countless strands of dragon Qi spread out from his body.
This formed many noble White Dragon images. With one hundred dragons soaring, his aura grew infinitely stronger, reaching a terrifying level.
"Ignorant."
However, the moment Jiang Cheng approached, Xiao Chen revealed a look of disdain, and his eyes suddenly turned golden.
Xiao Chen activated his Great Desolate Eon bloodline, and his Grade 8 Azure Dragon bloodline instantly crushed Jiang Cheng's aura.
Before the other party could react, Xiao Chen kicked.
"Plop!" A hole appeared in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion's wall as Jiang Cheng flew out like a sandbag and fell on the street.
Wu Xu and the others were stunned when they saw this. They had not expected such a result.
"Junior Brother Jiang Cheng offended you earlier. Please excuse him."
Wu Xu felt very anxious. He only wanted to go out immediately and check on Jiang Cheng's injuries.
So, Wu Xe casually performed a cupped-fist salute and apologized to Lan Luo, who he thought was a Smiling Daughter Pavilion headliner. Then, he prepared to leave quickly.
However, just at this moment, a few exceptionally strong auras arrived in the air.
These people broke through the barrier and the wall of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. When they landed, they asked quickly, "Cluster Lord, are you alright?"
Wu Xu and his companions, who had turned around, turned back when they heard this.
The White Dragon group was utterly dumbfounded. Matters had blown out of hand already.
Wu Xu thought about Jiang Cheng's words. Jiang Cheng had offended the person he should not have to an irreconcilable level already.
