Dragon Tamer

Chapter 696: Chapter 698 Steel Dragon Army

“Kill them all, not one left!!”

“I want not a single person with the Zhu surname left in this Supreme Court world!!”

Emperor Zhao Yuan’s face was cold as ice, and his eyes like the chilly water of a deep pool. The words he spat out carried a bone-chilling coldness.

The entire Dragon Country of Clouds had by now completely enveloped Dripping Water Lake City, with the resounding roars of dragons deafening to the ear. One could see the multitude of Azure Dragons led by the State-ruling Blue-silver Dragon plunging toward the city. The vast Dripping Water Imperial City seemed to crumble in an instant!

Within the city, the Sword Guards clad in black armor, wielding Black Swords, swiftly formed into one sword formation after another. Countless black Flying Swords surged into the sky above the Imperial City, dense sword shadows intersecting with beams of light. These Zhu Sect Sword Guards possessed very high cultivation bases, having been chosen from among thousands in the various Sword Sects for their strength. Clad in the finest armor and wielding Holy Swords, they were not at all afraid of the Azure Dragons from the Clouds’ Dragon Country!

“This old man will go and face that State-guarding Azure Dragon!” declared the boastful chief of the swordsmen.

...

Having said this, the chief swordsmanship leaped up, treating the descending Clouds’ Azure Dragons as his own stepping stones, not only kicking those dragons toward the ground but also stepping higher and higher himself. Despite appearing tiny amidst the vast Dragon Country of Clouds and its swarms of dragons, each slash he executed erupted with a force that could rip the heavens and earth asunder, and one by one, the royal family’s Azure Dragon Masters besieging him were chopped down!

He charged straight out of the encirclement of dragons, pointing his sword at the towering State-ruling Blue-silver Azure Dragon amid the massive clouds. When that sky-cleaving sword strike was unleashed, it shone so brightly beneath the clouds that his sword’s brilliance seemed all that was visible, forcing even the State-guarding Azure Dragon to retreat!

“Young master, I have crossed paths with Zhao Yuan before. Let me be the one to meet him,” offered Hong Geng proactively.

“There’s no rush,” Zhu Heavenly Officer interjected before Zhu Minglang could reply.

The great battle had already erupted, and the Zhu Sect Sword Guards were now locked in combat with the royal family’s Azure Dragon Masters, with the situation too chaotic for immediate judgment.

“Until that Quasi-god you mentioned shows up, don’t waste even a sliver of energy on these people,” Zhu Heavenly Officer instructed.

“Dealing with Zhao Yuan won’t be easy,” Zhu Minglang remarked.@@novelbin@@

Zhu Minglang himself had been to the Dragon Country of Clouds, fully aware that it harbored countless powerful creatures. The fact that Emperor Zhao Yuan could control the Dragon Country of Clouds was something they had not anticipated.

“The royal family must have also received some guidance and assistance from that Quasi-god, having greatly improved recently. But they’re far from capable of annihilating our Zhu Clan. If we can’t even handle a Zhao Yuan, how can our Zhu Clan stand firm in the even more perilous Tian Shu God Domain??” Zhu Heavenly Officer said calmly.

Having said this, Zhu Heavenly Officer drew another Order Sword and threw it high into the air.

The Order Sword ignited high above, and its radiance remained distinct and dazzling even amidst the intertwining flames of countless dragons.

Once the Fire Command Sword was launched, roars of Dragon Beasts suddenly erupted from another part of the city, one after another.

From his elevated view, Zhu Minglang gazed over and saw a vast array of patterns, with Dragon Beasts that stood taller than houses and trees being summoned—suddenly, in the neighboring district, a formidable Dragon Shepherd Army was formed!!

These Dragon Beasts, clad in black Dragon Armor, with even those of Dragon King Level boasting specialized weapons for their claws and Dragon Horns, looked like steel-cast dragons!!

The black Steel Dragon Army surged rapidly, clashing with the Azure Dragons of the Dragon Clan from the Clouds’ Dragon Country.

Clad in full armor, the steel-cast Dragon Beasts fought with extraordinary bravery. Under equal cultivation bases, they could even take on three at a time, not to mention those fully equipped dragons with armor for all their dragon features!

“Our Zhu Clan’s crafting art has evolved to not only forge Dragon Armor but also to equip different dragons with various tools and lethal weapons, from Dragon Claws, Dragon Teeth, Dragon Horns to Dragon Tail Spikes, Dragon Blade Wings…” Zhu Heavenly Officer explained.

In the entire Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, the armor of dragon beasts remains only at the stage of Dragon Armor. Many Dragon Shepherds even take pride in being able to equip their dragon beasts with a set of Dragon Armor.

But in fact, Zhu Gate can forge far more than just armor, for those with fragile claws, Zhu Gate can create steel claws, for those with stingers that aren’t sharp enough, Zhu Gate can craft scorpion-needle silver tails, and for those in need of stronger wings as weapons, iron-blade wings can be made!

All along, this art of casting has been held exclusively within the Zhu Clan Inner Court, and such special dragon equipment is only bestowed upon Dragon Shepherds of Zhu Gate who have withstood the test!

A set of Dragon Armor can allow a dragon of the same cultivation base to fight three foes at once, and a fully armed dragon would have no trouble taking on ten.

Zhu Minglang was once again stunned by the power of his own family!

Dragon Shepherds toil hard to condense and enhance dragon claws, dragon scales, dragon wings, dragon teeth and often struggle to find corresponding materials for cultivation.

However, the dragon item casting of Zhu Gate is equivalent to a significant enhancement in condensation, making the corresponding parts extremely formidable!

Does this mean if there are divine materials, Zhu Gate could also create God Dragon’s Claw, God Dragon’s Wing, God Dragon’s Horn…?

Whether they can achieve divine enshronement or not, their bodily strength and certain combat capabilities are definitely comparable to gods!

So the real superior beings are actually the casting masters!

When Zhu Minglang once again turned his gaze upon Zhu Heavenly Officer, the look in his eyes grew warmer by several degrees.

There is also an Armor Casting Hall in the Inner Court, beneath which likely lie several subterranean levels, could the last one hold dragon equipment of the same caliber as the Jade Blood Sword?

The father knows his son best, and just one glance from Zhu Heavenly Officer was enough to discern the wild ideas that Zhu Minglang was entertaining.

“Have you lost interest in the art of casting now?” Zhu Heavenly Officer asked.

“I’ve given it serious thought. In the field of casting, I will never surpass you in this lifetime, but I can stand on your shoulders and reach heights that others cannot,” Zhu Minglang said.

“…” Zhu Heavenly Officer helplessly shook his head.

Zhu Heavenly Officer did not press the issue. In fact, if he could use his own casting art to propel Zhu Minglang to a realm that no one in the entire Supreme Court has ever crossed, his many years of painstaking research would not have been in vain.

“Let’s talk about this after we get through this ordeal,” Zhu Heavenly Officer said.

Zhu Minglang nodded. If he couldn’t make it through this trial, he wouldn’t be fortunate enough to inherit such a great legacy!

Perhaps because he’s been unreliable for so long, Zhu Minglang sincerely began to admire Zhu Heavenly Officer.

If it weren’t for the Tian Shu God Domain, Zhu Heavenly Officer could easily annihilate the aggressively advancing Imperial Army with a laugh.

The Sparrow Wolf God is still a deity, far from being rash or foolish.

Just his alliance with the Imperial Dynasty alone has placed a significant hindrance on Zhu Minglang’s path to deicide. If it weren’t for his father’s valiant and mighty prowess, he might not have been able to get past Emperor Zhao Yuan, let alone kill the Sparrow Wolf God!
