Dragon Tamer

Chapter 697: Chapter 699: Battle of the Emperor

At high noon, the Steel Cast Dragon had gradually gained the upper hand, and the figures of the Sword Sect Swordsmen were noticeably more numerous than those of the Dragon Robe Envoys. Zhu Minglang saw that the State-guarding Azure Dragon, which used to be invincible, was now covered in bloodstains, with a large patch of its noble silver-blue dragon scales having fallen off, and it had lost one of its dragon whiskers.

However, the strength of Emperor Zhao Yuan should not be underestimated.

He possessed thirteen dragons, among which four had particularly outstanding strength. Even when facing an armed Dragon King, they had absolute suppressing power.

These four dragons under the Emperor included: the Violent Chi Dragon, the Ancestral Scorpion Dragon, the Cloud Kun Dragon, and the Purple Gold Holy Candle Dragon!

They were at a very high level of refinement, and their sharp claws and dragon teeth could easily tear through those dragon beasts wearing heavy armor. Among them, the Violent Chi Dragon seemed to possess divine-level dragon scales. No matter how many Swordsmen surrounded and attacked it, or even if it faced an onslaught from the Dragon King, this Violent Chi Dragon remained unscathed. In such a chaotic battlefield, its dominance was too prominent, causing many of the dragon beasts of the Swordsmen and Dragon Shepherds from Zhu Gate to fall under this Violent Chi Dragon.

“This Zhao Yuan, we still need to deal with him, or else he alone might turn the tide of battle. This would be a loss for us, as we intend to establish a foothold in the Tianshu God Domain. If we suffer a major blow this time, the road ahead will be even more difficult,” Zhu Minglang said.

...

The Zhu Heavenly Officer might have some self-interest; he did not wish for Zhu Minglang to take action, especially knowing that there was an even more terrifying existence behind Zhao Yuan…

He hesitated, glanced at Zhu Minglang, and then swept his eyes over Emperor Zhao Yuan, who was unrivaled beneath the cloud in the Dragon Country.

While Zhu Gate had many warriors, none had cultivation bases matching that of Emperor Zhao Yuan, not even several Peak King Level warriors could stop him.

The situation was favorable, except for the Emperor Zhao Yuan, who was extremely difficult to handle.

“Alright,” the Zhu Heavenly Officer nodded.

Zhu Minglang gave Hong Geng a look.

Hong Geng’s eyes immediately sharpened. Taking a deep breath and despite the fact that he was still wrapped in bandages soaked with medicine, his heart was burning fiercely at this moment!

Even if they were scorned and destroyed by the gods, they from the Holy Que Continent had never given up hope for life.

After realizing that Zhu Gate was the true emperor within the Supreme Court, Hong Geng became even more certain that following Zhu Minglang, the Divine Chosen, was the right choice.

If the Supreme Court could survive this calamity, then they from the Holy Que would also have a place to live!

…

Hong Geng leaped to the top of the Divine Willow Tree, his body surrounded by a swirl of red flames. These flames did not dance wildly but gathered behind Emperor Hong Geng under his control.

Soon, the red flames on his back transformed into a pair of fiery wings, making the already towering figure of Hong Geng look like a Red Flame Heavenly General!

With the fiery wings flapping, countless red sparks scattered around, and Hong Geng soared into the clouds in a surging manner. His dazzling figure made even Zhu Minglang inwardly marvel!

“Boom!!!!!!!”@@novelbin@@

Hong Geng possessed a pair of fiery red arms, and his arm strength was incredible. As he flew towards Zhao Yuan, the State-guarding Azure Dragon blocked his path, but Hong Geng actually reached his hand into the damaged scale and flesh of the Azure Dragon and viciously flung the enormous dragon, large as a mountain ridge, toward the ground!

“Innate Divine Strength is common to every State-guarding Azure Dragon, yet when Hong Geng hurled it in rage, it shattered who knows how many Dragon Bones of the State-guarding Azure Dragon. In an instant, the State-guarding Azure Dragon—previously difficult to subdue—was promptly brought down by many Sword Masters.”

The Ferryman, leader of the swordsmen, stood atop the eaves of a tavern, his face filled with shock as he watched this man wrapped in bandages, astounded to the point of thinking him a Heavenly Being!

“The Peak State-guarding Azure Dragon could not even resist this bandaged man. At first, when in the Divine Willow Pavilion, the Ferryman had not taken this bandaged person seriously at all.”

“Hong Geng held absolutely no interest in the State-guarding Azure Dragon. Once again, he flew toward the high clouds. At this moment, the sky below the Cloud Dragon Country was filled with dense silver lightning. These bolts of electricity, released from the body of the Violent Chi Dragon, endlessly transferred among the clouds, gradually forming into a vast net of lightning.”

“Within this net of silver lightning in the emptiness above, Hong Geng quickly also saw Emperor Zhao Yuan standing proudly on the head of the Purple Gold Holy Candle Dragon.”

“Zhao Yuan looked down at Hong Geng with a cold contempt. He had naturally noticed Hong Geng’s agility and spoke, ‘For a man like you, a Heavenly Male, serving as a retainer to a group of Casting Masters, don’t you find it laughable?'”

“‘As fellow cultivators, where does this distinction of high and low, noble and base come from? Yet you, a grand ruler of the Supreme Court, bow and scrape to gods begging for mercy, offering your own people as dogs to those Lower God Organizations. Don’t you find that even more laughable?'” Hong Geng burst into laughter.

“Honestly, Hong Geng felt a bit delighted to encounter Zhao Yuan in such a place.”

“‘Who are you?'” Zhao Yuan immediately furrowed his brow, his tone changing.

“No one should know about the matter of grovelling for the gods’ pity!”

“‘I have not forgotten to this day the pitiful, wretched look you had as you pressed the back of your head against the dirty, stinking soles of Hua Chou’s feet. It was nothing like kneeling before a god; it was more like you were begging to be taken as his dog!'” Hong Geng continued to laugh.

“‘You… you are a person of Holy Que!'” Zhao Yuan finally realized who the man wrapped in bandages was. His face grew even uglier, but in order not to feed the momentum of another, Zhao Yuan mocked with a cold face, “‘Didn’t you kneel too? A displaced dog like you, what right do you have to laugh at me here? At the very least, I have preserved Supreme Court. And your Holy Que? At night, the sky above Supreme Court still glitters with the remnants of your Holy Que’s broken pieces, and I can even hear the mournful screams of your Holy Que people in this Imperial City!'”

“Hong Geng did not react with thunderous rage to Zhao Yuan’s mockery.”

“Some things are not as simple as grovelling faster or deeper.”

“‘My kneeling is out of respect for the gods. How could I have known that an Azure Dome Star God could be so brutal and without virtue? Moreover, from the beginning, Hua Chou only permitted Supreme Court to come forth. To him, our Holy Que was nothing but trash from the start,'” Hong Geng replied.

“Li Chuan has a World Dragon Gate.”

“Nothing like this exists on Holy Que Continent.”

“Supreme Court is ascending, and the whole world is undergoing a metamorphosis to adapt to the new conditions.”

“These are non-existent in Holy Que Continent.”

“So, Hong Geng had already realized that Holy Que Continent was destined to be the forsaken and destroyed one.”

“Zhao Yuan might be able to tell other people of Supreme Court Courtyard Continent that it was his strategic insight that saved the entire continent, but Hong Geng knew very well that Zhao Yuan’s actions had merely saved himself, earning him a good reputation as a loyal dog in the eyes of the fierce god Hua Chou.”

“‘Did Hua Chou cast a great psychological shadow over you, to the point that when the weakest Sparrow Wolf God with a damaged divine form appeared in Tian shu, it made you grovel all over again? This Sparrow Wolf God, who even uses his own God’s Descendants as nourishment, I don’t know what your Royal Family looks like in his eyes!'”
