Chapter 687 - 686: Will Senior Take Action Personally?

Chapter 687: Chapter 686: Will Senior Take Action Personally?

The Deep Sea Tier Nine Dragon showed not the slightest bit of fear now. In fact, it was itching to rush forward and fight.

Seeing the Tier Nine Dragon, Saint Dragon Shuang Ying’s expression changed.

She then said, "As a member of the Dragon Race, you’re actually colluding with lowly humans. You’re a disgrace to the dragons."

Mu Lin retorted angrily, "What’s wrong with humans? We haven’t done anything to provoke you. What right do you have to talk about humans like that?"

"Lowly humans. Inferior creatures with no bloodline whatsoever. Am I wrong?" Saint Dragon Shuang Ying met Mu Lin’s gaze with cold eyes.

Mu Lin shot back, unconvinced, "But Senior Qin Tian is the publicly acknowledged number one expert in the Cultivation Realm. Even the Dragon Race has to bow its head before him."

"The Four Holy Beasts have been secluded from the world. If our Primordial Ancestor were to appear, would a mere Qin Tian be worthy of being called the strongest?" Saint Dragon Shuang Ying retorted.

Mu Lin was furious. ’Qin Tian is the publicly acknowledged number one in the Cultivation Realm, yet this shameless Dragon is just claiming someone who hasn’t even shown up is number one.’

’If they’re really number one, then they should show themselves! Anyone can just say it.’

’Calling him a *mere* Qin Tian... This Dragon is simply detestable.’

At that moment, Saint Dragon Shuang Ying said, "All humans are lowly. Without the Four Holy Beasts, are humans even worthy of living peacefully in this world?"

Standing on the Spiritual Dragon, Jiang Zuo was quite curious. ’What does humanity’s peace have to do with the Four Holy Beasts?’

’If I had to guess, it was at most only slightly related to the Xuanwu Race.’

After all, he had seen people with shells on their backs in the Ancient Battlefield.

But it was hard to say if they were truly members of the Xuanwu Race.

As for the others, he had only heard those people resent and fear Qin Tian; he had never heard them mention the Four Holy Beasts.

’This Dragon really thinks too highly of itself.’

’It dares to say such things without knowing anything about the outside world.’

Jiang Zuo had seen armies of thousands, their absolute loyalty to King Qin Wu creating an aura that even he found difficult to judge.

And this Dragon dared to call humans "mere," dared to say that without the Four Holy Beasts, humans weren’t worthy of living in peace?

Ignorance wasn’t frightening. What was frightening was treating ignorance as truth.

At that moment, Jiang Zuo said flatly, "Kill it."

Jiang Zuo’s voice was incomparably cold, as if he had truly given the order to kill this Dragon.

For some reason, both the Tier Nine Dragon and Mu Lin felt a chill run through their hearts.

Then, Jiang Zuo added, "No need to show mercy."

The Tier Nine Dragon and Mu Lin glanced at each other, wondering if they should actually hold back.

Mu Lin didn’t really mind, but the Tier Nine Dragon was no joke. Although its strength hadn’t fully recovered, it was definitely stronger than the equally unrecovered Saint Dragon Shuang Ying.

But after just a single glance, they moved. In any case, they had to fight first and ask questions later.

Not fighting wasn’t an option.

Seeing the two of them approach, Saint Dragon Shuang Ying showed no fear. It then erupted with Tier Eight Power and collided directly with the Tier Nine Dragon.

BOOM!

The two dragons were somehow evenly matched.

Mu Lin was astonished. ’Has she reached Tier Nine?’

But the thought lasted only for a moment before she drew her sword and swept it out.

However, Saint Dragon Shuang Ying neutralized her attack with a single swing of its tail, which then swept directly toward her.

In the first exchange, Saint Dragon Shuang Ying clearly had the upper hand.

The Spiritual Dragon said with some concern, "Senior, it looks like they can’t beat the Holy Dragon. Should we run first? After all, our cultivation level is low.

That Holy Dragon is probably about to advance to Tier Nine."

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "No. It’s not that she’s gotten stronger, but that the Tier Nine Dragon and that female human Cultivator have gotten weaker."

The Spiritual Dragon was curious. "I don’t feel it."

Jiang Zuo said, "It’s the weakening period from the Seal."

Now the Spiritual Dragon was even more confused. "But the Holy Dragon was sealed too, wasn’t it? It also just woke up not long ago, right?"

Yes, Jiang Zuo naturally knew that.

As for why she recovered so quickly, it had something to do with her being part of the Holy Beast Dragon Race. Of course, that was only part of it; the main reason was something else.

"She has a powerful treasure on her that allowed her to recover in a short time. It’ll be troublesome to seriously injure her," Jiang Zuo said.

"Are you going to act personally, Senior?" the Spiritual Dragon asked tentatively.

Jiang Zuo didn’t answer. ’Me, act personally?’

’That won’t be necessary. Although it will take some time to seriously injure her, it won’t take *that* long. Only when hope gives way to despair, when the heart is at its most weary, will it be the perfect opportunity for the Divine Dragon to strike.’

One could say that even the heavens were helping the Divine Dragon this time.

If it failed, then he would have to see why. If she still despised and loathed the Divine Dragon, then they truly weren’t suited for each other.

Unless the Divine Dragon was still unwilling to give up.

In that case, Jiang Zuo would have nothing more to say.

Jiang Zuo could patiently play along with the Divine Dragon until Su Qi lost her patience. Whenever Su Qi decided to leave, then this game would be over.

He would just have the Divine Dragon lay its cards on the table.

Whatever happened, happened.

’To be honest, this is still a waste of time. But it seems there are many things here for the Saintess to see.’

’So, let’s continue wasting it.’

’It’ll also keep these powerful Spirit Beasts from running around causing trouble.’

Saint Dragon Shuang Ying said coldly, "You are not worthy of being my enemies. A Holy Dragon is beyond your imagination. I can feel myself communicating with the heavens and the earth. Tier Nine is within my grasp. If you insist on seeking death, I don’t mind sending you on your way."

Hearing this, Mu Lin started to panic a little. ’We’re going to lose a fight we should have won for sure?’

However, the Tier Nine Dragon charged forward directly.

Mu Lin was very curious. ’Wasn’t this supposed to be a timid Dragon?’

’Why is it being so brave?’

The Spiritual Dragon also asked, "Senior, I’m very familiar with the Deep Sea Tier Nine Dragon. It shouldn’t have this much courage, right?"

Jiang Zuo said, "It does. It was just dominated by its cowardice. I just had to increase its courage."

The Spiritual Dragon asked, "Increase?"

’You can increase courage? How is that done?’ it wondered.

Jiang Zuo watched the Deep Sea Tier Nine Dragon clashing with the Holy Dragon and said, "Have you ever heard the saying ’wine gives a man courage’?"

The Spiritual Dragon nodded. "I have. But the Deep Sea Dragon is a Tier Nine Dragon, after all. A wine that could get it drunk would have to be an Immortal Brew, right? I didn’t see it drink anything."

Jiang Zuo said again, "Have you heard the saying, ’It’s not the wine that intoxicates, but the drinker themselves’?"

The Spiritual Dragon replied, "No."

’Senior speaks in such winding riddles,’ it thought. ’It’s exhausting. Can’t he just say it clearly in one sentence?’

But it didn’t dare say so out loud. It still valued its life.

Jiang Zuo said, "The Intoxication Fruit has an intoxicating effect. Those whose minds are not resolute enough cannot resist its influence. The Tier Nine Dragon is intoxicated, so its courage has grown."

The Spiritual Dragon was dumbfounded. It had no idea, but it didn’t matter. It was enough to have a general idea of what was going on.

’But how long are we going to wait here?’

’Is this really okay?’

Meanwhile, Jingyue had finally reached the summit through her own efforts. She was now covered in sweat, and her body was even slightly injured. The pressure here was absurdly immense.

It felt as if she could be crushed to death at any moment.

"A... a pool of water? How unexpected."

Jingyue said, unable to help herself, as she looked at the volcano’s crater.

Atop this volcano was actually a clear lake.

Jingyue didn’t overthink it. She felt that this pool would surely have many benefits. But just as she was about to enter, she heard someone say, "Get in the pool. Hurry up."
