Chapter 682: Chapter 681: Slaying the Holy Dragon

A Deep Sea Tier Nine Dragon.

This type of Dragon typically evolves from deep-sea creatures. Only those with some relation to Dragons can evolve into one—flood dragons, snakes, and loaches, for example, all have a chance.

Why?

Because they’re long.

The main reason is that their forms are somewhat similar, so they subconsciously evolve in the direction of a Dragon.

Of course, this is an incredibly difficult path. Some Spirit Beasts would rather not evolve into Dragons, as their survival rate would be higher otherwise.

Between a Dragon and a snake of the same tier, the Dragon is naturally stronger.

This was indisputable.

Its Dragon Might alone was incomparable.

Only special Spirit Beasts and Holy Beasts could compare.

Jiang Zuo looked at the Tier Nine Dragon. Although it was a bit ordinary, it certainly possessed Tier Nine strength.

However, it was still slumbering, and its Seal had weakened considerably.

The Divine Dragon said, "This is the only one. There are no more."

Jiang Zuo walked over to its side and touched it. A white flame began to rise.

The Divine Dragon’s expression twitched when he saw the flame. ’This man just used that to wake me up. The pain was truly agonizing.’

Although he knew what it was, he couldn’t get rid of it.

He had noticed it during the Sealing, but he hadn’t dared to refuse in the slightest, because at that moment, ’that person’s’ gaze had fallen upon him.

It was as if he had received a message: resist, and be obliterated.

He didn’t know who the other party was, but their power completely surpassed his understanding.

Even the most formidable figure in the Cultivation Realm at the time, Young Master Qin Tian, couldn’t compare.

When he learned that Jiang Zuo was connected to that person, he was still very worried. Fortunately, the man held no killing intent toward Longyuan. Otherwise, all of Earth Valley Longyuan might have been slaughtered by him.

If they provoked that person from all those years ago, that would be true terror.

Although Divine Dragon Qian Zhong feared that little girl, he feared that person even more.

Then, just as Divine Dragon Qian Zhong expected, the Tier Nine Dragon was jolted awake by the pain.

"AHHH! Who—who did this to me?" As it roared, a tremendous power radiated outward.

This left Jiang Zuo feeling a bit helpless, forced to constantly dodge the shockwaves of its power.

After all, his Cultivation was insufficient.

’Sure enough, not having enough Cultivation is a real pain,’ he thought.

Left with no choice, Jiang Zuo could only activate the Palace’s Defense and project it in front of himself.

The Defense here was the same as the one in the New Dragon Palace, so blocking the shockwaves wasn’t a problem.

Then, Jiang Zuo spoke. "Now that you’re awake, quiet down."

The Dragon immediately fell silent. The shockwaves vanished, and Jiang Zuo naturally retracted his Immortal Spiritual Qi.

’As expected, this Tier Nine Dragon is a coward. It doesn’t have the temper of a Tier Nine being at all.’

’Are all Dragons these days so pathetic?’

Meanwhile, the Divine Dragon and the woman were both staring at Jiang Zuo in astonishment.

The Divine Dragon was wondering, ’Why can this person use my defensive Barrier?’

’And so skillfully, too?’

As for the woman, she was wondering, ’Why can he use a defensive Barrier too?’

’Could he actually be a transformed Loach?’

’Is he a black Loach, too?’

Jiang Zuo paid the two of them no mind. He walked up to the Tier Nine Dragon, which stole a glance at him before lowering its head.

Jiang Zuo asked, "Are you going to come with me to kill a Holy Dragon? Do you have any objections?"

The Tier Nine Dragon immediately replied, "W-Will I be killed by the Holy Dragon in the end?"

Jiang Zuo said, "I don’t know. But if you refuse, you’ll be killed right now."

This Dragon was different from Divine Dragon Qian Zhong. Jiang Zuo’s Immortal Spiritual Qi could determine whether it would be severely injured.

Killing it, however, would require a bit more effort.

’If Little Wild Cat could come out, it would be simple. She could just eat it.’

The Tier Nine Dragon said, "I... I’ll kill it."

Then, Jiang Zuo looked at the Divine Dragon again. "Do you know if there are any Jinling Loaches or Spiritual Dragons here?"

Before the Dragon God could speak, the woman cut in, "I-I know where to find some! Are you really going to kill Saint Dragon Shuang Ying? I can help you! Oh, my name is Mu Lin. I’m an Elder of the Niyun Sect."

The Divine Dragon ignored her and simply opened a Space Gate. He stepped inside and then re-emerged.

When he came out this time, he was grasping a Tier Seven Spiritual Dragon.

It hadn’t been asleep; it woke up the instant it was caught.

It had originally intended to resist, but when it saw the Tier Nine Dragon lying on the ground, it lost its nerve.

These two Dragons knew each other. One was weak, and the other a coward, so they had a lot in common.

At that moment, Jiang Zuo looked at the Spiritual Dragon and said, "Do you have the imprint?"

The Spiritual Dragon nodded. "Yes, Elder."

Jiang Zuo asked, "How much?"

The Spiritual Dragon replied, "It can store up to Tier Eight Power, but I can’t wield it. My Cultivation is very limited."

’Hmm, a Spiritual Dragon’s potential is indeed higher than a Jinling Loach’s. A Jinling Loach couldn’t possibly store Tier Eight Power unless it was already at Tier Eight.’

’But a Spiritual Dragon can.’

Jiang Zuo said, "Absorb it and store it. Don’t use it. Then, stay by my side."

The Spiritual Dragon readily agreed. How could it dare to resist?

Then, Jiang Zuo turned to Mu Lin. "Later, you will lead us to attack the Holy Dragon."

Mu Lin nodded excitedly. ’With a team like this, they can definitely kill that Dragon.’

Finally, Jiang Zuo said to the Divine Dragon, "We’re going to go kill the Holy Dragon. At the most critical moment, you will jump out and block the fatal blow for her. Then, suppress your Cultivation and fight us desperately. Finally, find a chance to take her and escape.

Then we’ll see what her attitude is."

The Divine Dragon blinked at Jiang Zuo. ’This is a great idea!’

But he still asked, "So, I shouldn’t reveal my identity?"

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "If you want to win her love, this is how you’ll do it for now. We can talk about everything else after you succeed... or fail."

Divine Dragon Qian Zhong nodded. "Alright, I’ll do as you say."

Then, the Divine Dragon asked worriedly, "The Deep Sea Tier Nine Dragon is too timid. Can it really display its full strength?"

Jiang Zuo said, "You don’t need to worry about that. Just focus on doing your part. Remember, no matter how much power you display, do not reach the scope of Tier Nine. Not even getting infinitely close is allowed."

The Divine Dragon nodded. He also understood that once his strength reached Tier Nine, the Holy Dragon’s feelings would inevitably be affected by his Cultivation level—her attitude, for instance.

Mu Lin, who had overheard their conversation, was a little shocked. ’This Loach has actually fallen for the Holy Dragon and is trying to pursue love?’

’And he’s actually a Tier Nine as well?’

’When did this place get so many Tier Nine beings?’

’Wasn’t the Divine Dragon the only Tier Nine?’

Mu Lin said cautiously, "Um, Saint Dragon Shuang Ying is the one Elder Divine Dragon has his eye on. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to try and steal her away?"

’I see now that killing Saint Dragon Shuang Ying is probably impossible,’ she thought. ’But severely injuring her is good enough. I’ll get to enjoy tormenting her then.’

’From the looks of it, they have two Tier Nines. Even though one is an inside man, it’s not a big problem. In any case, it’s a guaranteed win for us.’

’And since we’re going to severely injure the Holy Dragon, and I already have a grudge against her, I’m definitely a perfect fit for the villain role.’

At this, the Divine Dragon asked curiously, "Since you know she’s the Dragon the Divine Dragon has his eye on, why do you want to kill her?"

"She’s a wicked Dragon. You wouldn’t understand even if I told you. She only pretends to be well-behaved in front of the Divine Dragon," Mu Lin said.

The Divine Dragon didn’t mind this.

’Humans and Dragons have different worldviews.’

’We all have different perspectives.’
