Chapter 350: Chapter 347 White Dragon, will you submit to me?
Qin Feng’s eyes shifted, and an idea immediately sprung to mind, “First, let’s head to the White Dragon Nest. I have an Array Plate for the Nine Palace Illusion Array. Although this array definitely won’t be able to confine the White Dragon, it’s also not always activating its Giant Dragon Clan’s Eye of Truth.
We just need to fool its perception under the cover of the array, and launch a surprise attack while it’s collecting treasure. Despite our combined strength not being enough to defeat it, there’s no need to severely injure it. We can just target its wings.
As long as its wings are damaged and it struggles to flee, I refuse to believe the Nine-Headed Snake will miss this great opportunity.”
“Good.”
Xiu Xin nodded his head, readily agreeing to Qin Feng’s plan.
For a cultivator like him, as long as the plan had a fifty percent chance of success, it was worth a try.
Besides, he had previously been saved by Qin Feng and owed him a considerable karmic debt, which he had to repay. It was best to find a chance to repay it now while his own Cultivation was still low; otherwise, when Qin Feng later attained higher Cultivation, he didn’t know how much it would cost him to settle the debt.
Without delay, the two of them entered the White Dragon Nest. After a brief inspection, Qin Feng laid down the Array Flags for the Nine Palace Illusion Array and activated it. He then altered the appearance of the dragon nest once over. On the surface, it seemed no different from the original nest, the only difference being the addition of two people.
“It can’t hold on much longer. In a moment, it should return.”
After watching at the entrance of the dragon nest for a while, Qin Feng said to Xiu Xin, “We should conceal ourselves now and wait for its return. If the Nine-Headed Snake is following closely behind, we’ll make our move on the White Dragon. If the Nine-Headed Snake hasn’t followed and has dived into the sea to give up the pursuit, we’ll also abandon the Nine Palace Illusion Array and make our escape directly.
Otherwise, just with our strength, we really aren’t a match for the White Dragon.”
He didn’t bother to ask Xiu Xin whether he had a way to escape.
This guy, as a True Disciple of a Major Sect, wouldn’t have any issues slipping away unless he found himself as unlucky as Qin Feng when he first arrived in this realm and was severely injured by a Holy Knight right away. With even a slight amount of time, he’d be able to escape.
“No problem!”
Xiu Xin responded, and then in a flash, his form turned into a wisp of faint green smoke that drifted to the top of the dragon nest, concealing himself within the stones above.
This was the Ghost Dao Escape Technique he utilized after merging with his Lifebound Spiritual Ghost, turning his body into nothingness, fearless of all physical attacks and capable of passing through objects. Temporarily hiding inside the stone walls posed no issue.
Seeing this, Qin Feng allowed himself a small smile. His figure twisted and was enveloped by an earthy yellow light, as he burrowed into the ground below, positioning himself and Xiu Xin for a pincer attack from above and below.
In reality, their setup had some flaws, after all, setting up an array and concealing themselves in someone else’s home was bound to leave behind some traces of energy.
In the Cultivation World, not to mention a Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator, even a fellow Golden Core Cultivator wouldn’t be easily fooled by their disguises.
However, they took advantage of the fact that the cultivation methods in this world differed from their own, and the Giant Dragons were a race that relied on talent and bloodline for strength. The White Dragon, being in the midst of panicked flight, might not notice the two faint presences within its own nest.
Furthermore, the myriad of Magic Items in the treasure it had recently collected emitted chaotic energy waves of various elements, which could also mask their presence. Unless it paid special attention, the White Dragon might truly fail to detect them.
A quarter of an hour later, the sounds of battle grew closer, accompanied by the deafening noise of the waves and the tumultuous elemental fluctuations.
Clearly, the White Dragon and the three Nine-Headed Snakes were fighting closer and closer, nearing the nearby island.
Eventually, after the White Dragon took another powerful hit from a Water Dragon Tornado and was struck in the abdomen by numerous Water Guns, although angry, it dared not to continue the clash.
Otherwise, it was sure to suffer severe injuries, which would be too costly for it.
It roared furiously, flapping its wings to dodge a large volley of water guns, forcefully broke through the sky of water blades, and flew directly above the island, heading towards its own dragon nest.
It felt stifled inside, having lived comfortably in the Demon Beast Forest, only to be relentlessly sought out by the people from the Light Church. Not only was it severely injured, but its treasures were also completely looted, not even a single Gold Coin was left behind.
To avoid being found by the Light Church again, it had abandoned its nest after a spree of pillaging, gathering some treasures and heading straight to the sea, where it made a new dragon nest in this distant place.
Unexpectedly, while it was hunting for food and treasures in the sea, it inadvertently entered the nest of a group of Nine-Headed Snakes. It was then pursued by three Nine-Headed Snakes. Even though it had moved away from the Nine-Headed Snakes’ territory, they were still relentlessly chasing after it.
Was it just because it had accidentally broken one of their snake eggs? They were relentless, and by the look of it, they obviously intended to completely drive it out of the sea area!
Of course, that was all they could do.
After all, it had wings. Unless the Nine-Headed Snakes advanced to Super Demon Beasts, even if they could fly with their great Magic Power, their speed was very slow and not even worth considering to a White Dragon.
So, although the White Dragon felt stifled, it did not believe it was in any mortal danger.
Sure enough, after it flew above the small island, the three Nine-Headed Snakes, despite their reluctance, did not follow.
After all, the Nine-Headed Snake race not only lacked the advantage in the air, but they couldn’t even match the Giant Dragons in close quarters combat on land, which is why they dared not come ashore.
Nevertheless, the three Nine-Headed Snakes did not give up. They cast the Forbidden Curse Magic, Overwhelming Waves, in an attempt to inundate the island and mount an attack.
Clearly, they harbored immense hatred toward the White Dragon.
The White Dragon ignored the huge waves behind it. Though the waves were big, it would take some time to completely submerge the island, and within that time, it could take its treasures and leave to find a new safe place to build a nest.
Hoo…
The White Dragon’s massive form, bringing a gust of wind with it, dove into the dragon nest, just as Qin Feng and his party had predicted. The creature began to collect its treasures immediately upon entering, paying no attention to any changes inside the nest.
For countless years, the Giant Dragon Clan had been at the top of the food chain, growing quite arrogant and never considering that someone would dare to sneak into their nest.
Just as it stretched out its massive dragon wings to gather Gold Coins and gemstones, suddenly, a figure like a wisp of blue smoke appeared from the stone wall at the top of the dragon nest.
Xiu Xin held his sword in both hands, the originally plain Peach Wood Sword now emanating dark red Ghost Fire. With a crack, Xiu Xin thrust it directly into the White Dragon’s left wing, not only breaking a bone but also dragging the blade downward, tearing a huge gash in the dragon wing.
Even at the cut, a trace of Ghost Fire continued to burn flesh and scales, causing great pain to the White Dragon.
At the same time that Xiu Xin appeared, a yellow light flashed on the ground, and Qin Feng emerged holding the Sky Battle Halberd.
He imbued the Ruyi Golden Light entirely on the halberd’s blade, unleashing his full strength with the Azure Dragon Battle Skill to deliver a killing blow. Together with Xiu Xin, they struck horizontally and vertically, breaking the White Dragon’s left wing’s bones and tearing its scale-covered wing.
With its wings damaged to this extent, without a long time to repair, the White Dragon surely couldn’t rely on them for flight.
As for using magic-type flight, it wasn’t impossible.
But as the sovereigns of the skies, the Giant Dragon Clan naturally had wings. When had they ever depended on magic to fly?
They had never delved into studying flight magic seriously. Even if they knew some, it was carelessly learned from other races, and the speed was not impressive.
“Roar…”
The Giant Dragon, suddenly ambushed, was both shocked and enraged. Adding to its fury, its left wing bone was nearly severed, and with Ghost Fire burning, the pain was unbearable. It abruptly twisted its head, spewing out a scorching Dragon Breath at the two shadows that had attacked it.
However, before its Dragon Breath could fully envelop them, the two cunning members of the Human Clan split up, vanishing into the rocky walls of the Dragon Nest, leaving no trace.
But in just a fleeting glance, the White Dragon recognized one of the figures.
It was none other than the Holy Son of Light who, last time by summoning a Four-Winged Angel, had inflicted severe injuries on it and stolen its treasure!
“Roar… Ao roar…”
Upon spotting Qin Feng among those who ambushed it, the White Dragon was overwhelmed with furious rage.
That despicable Holy Son of Light, not content with having already stolen its treasure once, was now secretly lurking, evidently to steal its treasure a second time!
This bastard must have discovered that it was about to collect its treasure and leave this place, and, unwilling to accept that, had chosen that moment to ambush it.
Amidst its furious rage, the White Dragon roared continuously, turning around to where Qin Feng had escaped. Dragon Breath and magic were unleashed relentlessly, and even its massive claws kept scratching, trying to dig out Qin Feng who had hidden away.
As for the other one who had attacked it, the White Dragon ignored completely, much to Xiu Xin’s secret relief.
Currently merged with his Lifebound Spiritual Ghost, his power belonged to the Yin; vulnerable to the White Dragon’s Light Element, should the White Dragon pursue and attack him, even hiding within the rock walls wouldn’t prevent injuries.
However, as he watched the White Dragon attacking relentlessly toward the place where Qin Feng had vanished, Xiu Xin was somewhat stunned, wondering what Qin Feng had done to offend the dragon so deeply.
“Roar… Bastard, come out!”
thundered the White Dragon.
Its immense spiritual power had locked onto Qin Feng’s position, knowing he was deep underground: “Come out, you despicable thief, daring to ambush me once again.
You can summon Angels, can’t you? Even if you summon them this time, I won’t let you go!”
It was clear in its mind that the Angel’s time in the Lower Realm was limited; as long as it could outlast the Angel’s visitation, the Holy Son of Light alone surely was no match for it.
However, when it saw that Qin Feng completely ignored it and instead sped even faster into the depths of the earth, the White Dragon, though clueless as to how the despicable Holy Son had burrowed into the ground, lost almost all its reason in rage. The furious onslaught of its Dragon Language Magic caused the entire Dragon Nest to collapse.
Outside the island, the three Nine-Headed Snakes that were attempting to submerge the islet with waves were stupefied.
What was happening?
Out of nowhere, two people had ambushed the White Dragon, wounding its wings.
And now, that damned White Dragon had inexplicably brought down its own nest, burying itself inside!
The three Nine-Headed Snakes, with their twenty-six heads and forty-eight eyes, shared a bewildered glance for a brief moment before reaching a decision. They slithered their immense bodies onto the beach, heading toward the White Dragon buried atop the small island.
A Giant Dragon without the ability to fly was not much different from an ordinary ninth-rank, upper-level Super Demon Beast.
Although they were nine-headed hydras of the middle rank in the ninth level, if they were to fight alone, both in magic and close combat they were slightly inferior to the white dragon.
But their numbers were many!
Even if one of the nine-headed hydras had one of its heads blasted away by the white dragon, and another two hydras were blinded in several eyes by the white dragon’s dragon breath, they were not afraid of the white dragon when they outnumbered it three to one.
Moreover, given the formidable recovery power of the nine-headed hydras, these wounds could heal as good as new after some rest and recuperation.
Even the blasted hydras’ heads would slowly regrow a new one.
That’s why, when nine-headed hydras fought with other demon beasts, they never feared injuries and were even quite willing to trade blow for blow, relying on this ruffian-like tactic to dominate a large expanse of the sea area.
The ground shook violently as the white dragon struggled out from its collapsed nest.
Driven by rage, it wanted to continue bombarding the ground, but one nine-headed hydra that had quickly swum up to it, bit its tail, while the other heads also lunged to bite at its body.
It wasn’t until then that the white dragon realized something was amiss.
Looking back, over twenty hydra heads were already rushing towards it.
The white dragon was shocked; it hadn’t expected these foolish snakes to actually dare to come ashore.
It quickly spewed a breath of dragon fire on the hydra head biting its tail to drive off the attacker, attempting to spread its wings and take flight, but the acute pain and weakness in its left wing reminded it that it had lost the ability to fly.
The white dragon truly began to panic.
But after all, it was the overlord among the ninth-level demon beasts, so seeing several nine-headed hydras pouncing, and since it couldn’t escape, it unleashed its ferocity and directly engaged in close combat with its adversaries.
Of course, it would also intermittently spew dragon breath and attack with various dragon language magics.
The three nine-headed hydras were also relentless, their twenty-some heads not only biting but also casting various water element magics, leaving the white dragon’s scale armor broken and in a wretched state.
The brutal battle lasted for nearly half an hour before it gradually drew to a close.
The white dragon lay weak and gasping on the ground, covered with wounds, no longer having the strength to fight.
Although the three nine-headed hydras were all seriously injured, with the most injured one similarly collapsing on the ground like the white dragon, they ultimately had the upper hand due to their numbers.
After all, two of them were still able to move, and although each had several heads blasted away by the white dragon, it didn’t affect their final victory.
The white dragon gasped weakly, filled with regret. If it had known, it wouldn’t have been greedy for the treasure earlier but should have fled immediately instead; after all, the nine-headed hydras didn’t care for gold coins, and it could have just come back to collect the treasure after they left.
Just as it was filled with remorse, a familiar voice suddenly reached its ears: “White Dragon, would you surrender to me?”
“Roar…”
The white dragon, lying weak and limp on the ground, heard Qin Feng’s voice and, drawing strength from somewhere, suddenly raised its head and let out an angry roar, startling the two nine-headed hydras that had been about to deal the final blow, causing them to stop in their tracks and warily guard themselves.
What do you think?
