Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Growth Period White Dragon
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Luo Xiao was no mere obedient house dog!
With the defeat of the fortress, Luo Xiao didn’t even need to add to the chaos; Wutu easily breached Dongxu Fortress. Even Luo himself didn’t have to overtly reveal his treachery, he just needed to secretly cut down any messengers, letting the rebel troops of Wutu advance further into the heartland of Ancestral Dragon City for a few more days…
Unfortunately, the staff of the Dragon Taming Academy from Rong Valley City were problematic, and Luo Xiao had to take matters into his own hands!
Not all messengers needed to be intercepted; as long as these three Eagle Beast Dragons were dealt with, even if the Flying Bird Pseudo-Dragons managed to reach the Ancestral Dragon City, it would be too late!
Of course, among these three, Zhu Minglang was an unexpected bonus for Luo Xiao!
Ever since Kong Tong mentioned Zhu Minglang to Luo Xiao, he had some inkling of what was going on.
Zhu Minglang had been staying at the Dragon Taming Academy and Luo himself had been on the battlefield, with no time to confirm his suspicions. Who would have known that Zhu Minglang would be among these three trying to send a message? It was indeed amusing!
Had he remained hidden within the Dragon Taming Academy, Luo Xiao would indeed have had no way to deal with him, for the academy had no shortage of powerful individuals.
“Li Yunzi kept you protected within the Dragon Taming Academy, yet you came out to court death on your own. Heh, Zhu Minglang, Zhu Minglang, you and Li Yunzi have really put on quite the show!” Luo Xiao stared at Zhu Minglang, his emotions gradually spiraling out of control.
To think that the man before him was the thorn in his side that kept him awake at night, and remembering the humiliation from the whip marks on his face and the pain of being expelled from the Li Family, all the rage ignited within his chest!!
“Zhu Minglang, I’ll kill these two first, then I will cut off your flesh bit by bit while leisurely listening to your story about you and Li Yunzi in the dungeon!” Luo Xiao had completely lost his humanity, becoming a vicious and malevolent specter!
No sooner had he spoken than the Gold-plated Fire Dragon once again unleashed terrifying flames, like a volcano erupting countless magma, splattering over the vulnerable forest. Even Teacher Duan Lan’s Zhan River Dragon’s mist could not hold back the assault.
Heat swiftly enveloped them, and the wingless Eagle Beast Dragon stood next to the Zhan River Dragon. The towering Gold-plated Fire Dragon descended at an angle from the sky into the forest, with its fearsome waves of fire rolling down from above. The momentum was so immense it felt like the entire forest was shaking!
The Eagle Beast Dragon, in both size and power, seemed inferior to the Gold-plated Fire Dragon, especially with one of its wings broken. It struggled to dodge the fire waves cascading from the sky with its agile body.
The Zhan River Dragon kept shifting positions, creating waterfalls that poured towards the Gold-plated Fire Dragon. However, the water rituals appeared to have exhausted this powerful dragon beast, making it appear somewhat frail compared to its usual self.
The Gold-plated Fire Dragon was extremely domineering. It rode the waves of fire down, shaking the Eagle Beast Dragon.
Dragon Teeth were bared, its mouth filled with molten lava, it bit into the neck of the Eagle Beast Dragon. The fangs sunk deep into the flesh, nearly breaking the neck of the Eagle Beast Dragon! !
The Zhan River Dragon’s body surged with cold water. It swiftly coiled around the Gold-plated Fire Dragon like a water serpent, entwining its neck and chest to allow the Eagle Beast Dragon a chance to escape from the Gold-plated Fire Dragon’s ferocious bite.
“Aooooo-
The Gold-plated Fire Dragon raised its head with a roar. Its entire body covered in Fire Scales suddenly erupted like sulfur stones, transforming the dragon into a fortress-sized powder keg. It blew the Zhan River Dragon, protected by icy water, away with the explosion.
“Two low-rank dragons, thinking they can contend with me??” laughed Luo Xiao heartily.
Although at the same Dragon General Level, the Eagle Beast Dragon and the
Zhan River Dragon, in healthy condition, would still struggle against the Gold-plated Fire Dragon. After all, the Gold-plated Fire Dragon was now a High-Rank Dragon General!
Blood flowed from the neck of the Eagle Beast Dragon, many of its robust feathers sheared off. Ke Bei looked somewhat panicked; he knew the disparity in strength was significant. Even if they summoned other Dragon Sons from the Spirit Realm, it would be difficult to withstand the might of the
Gold-plated Fire Dragon.
Likewise, Teacher Duan Lan’s strongest dragon was the Zhan River Dragon. Without the widespread creation of clouds and rain, she might have been able to delay it a while longer, but now she might really fall victim to this madman!
“We could turn a blind eye to your vendetta with the Li Family, but you should know that the Dragon Taming Academy is not like the Gentry. If you kill a
teacher or student of the Dragon Taming Academy, you will not end up well!” said Ke Bei.
“Therefore, you should die first, then I’ll kill them, hahahaha!” Luo Xiao
sneered.
The Gold-plated Fire Dragon was fully engulfed in sulfur explosions, with sulfur wounds within a fifty-meter radius around. It charged at the Eagle Beast Dragon with this terrifying energy, aiming for a fatal blow.
The Eagle Beast Dragon, with only half a wing, struggled immensely to take flight and had nowhere to hide from the Gold-plated Fire Dragon’s sulfur explosion…
Just as the Eagle Beast Dragon seemed doomed, a sharp gust swept through, piercing the massive body of the Gold-plated Fire Dragon, and heading straight for Luo Xiao standing atop a large pine tree.
Within the gust, a pure white figure could be seen, like a sprite of ice and wind, employing a powerful spell to attack Dragon Shepherd Luo Xiao.
“Ice Morning White Dragon?” Duan Lan recognized the figure.
It was indeed Zhu Minglang’s Ice Morning White Dragon, which had grown stronger since its days in the academy. The tornado it conjured this time was more forceful, a horizontal whirlwind storm that stirred countless shards of sharp ice!!!
The Ice Morning White Dragon had reached its growth stage!
Zhu Minglang didn’t direct it to challenge the mighty Gold-plated Fire Dragon, instead, it struck directly at Dragon Shepherd Luo Xiao himself!
Luo Xiao’s face visibly changed at the sight of the Ice Morning White Dragon.
He had never regarded Zhu Minglang as a threat from start to finish, and he hadn’t noticed that Ke Bei and Duan Lan had summoned other dragon pets. The Ice Morning White Dragon’s sudden attack was indeed surprising!
“Do you think I, Luo Xiao, am an idiot?” Luo Xiao suddenly burst into laughter.
He stood still, but the ring on his finger emitted a dazzling red light, and quickly, thick beams intertwined in front of Luo Xiao, forming a huge red silhouette!
The silhouette was clearly that of a Gold-plated Fire Dragon, and those seemingly unsubstantial red lights had somehow solidified into red armor…
A luxurious suit of armor appeared around Luo Xiao, protecting him tightly.
The Ice Morning White Dragon’s icy wind swooped down like a whirlwind but was not as swift as the transformation of Luo Xiao’s armor!
“Clang clang clang-
Inside the wind tunnel, the delicate body of the Ice Morning White Dragon slowly expanded amidst the white characters of wind and the burrowing snow, its wings unfolding perfectly to the size of a giant eagle, while its beautiful auxiliary wings resembled those of a sacred butterfly. Ice fluff scattered, a sight of utmost beauty…
Its body also grew much longer, possessing the agility of a Spirit Deer and the health of a snow leopard. Its long tail dragged along, creating a stunning trail of ice. Just as the wind tunnel’s swoop failed to penetrate Luo Xiao’s red armored silhouette, the tail of the Ice Morning White Dragon transformed into a deadly weapon!!
“Swoosh!”
The seemingly impregnable armor was pierced through with a hole, and Luo Xiao was shocked and unable to dodge in time.
Blood sprayed, and with a scream, Luo Xiao fell from the towering pine…
The Gold-plated Fire Dragon roared furiously, throwing the corpse of the Eagle Beast Dragon to the ground, then plowed through all the flaming trees, catching Luo Xiao just in time as he crashed towards the ground.
Luo Xiao clutched the left side of his forehead, agony twisting his entire face. Blood reddened the hair on his forehead, dripping across his pale cheeks, his eyes filled with a malicious resentment!! “Zhu Minglang! l” Luo Xiao bellowed.
Zhu Minglang’s heart sank.
There was a hole in his head, and yet he was not dead…
After all, it was the armor’s silhouette that cushioned the fatal sting of the Ice Morning White Dragon; otherwise, Luo Xiao would have been dead for good!
Dragon Shepherds are very fragile. If there is a chance, one must kill the Dragon Shepherd first. Zhu Minglang did not let Bai Qi strike earlier because he was waiting for this opportunity.
What a pity that Luo Xiao actually had an armor’s silhouette to protect himself!
Although the Dragon’s Armor is defense equipment for Dragon Beasts, at Luo Xiao’s level, he was already capable of establishing a method of illusion, which is to summon the armor that originally rested on the body of a Dragon Beast out of thin air, to temporarily protect the Dragon Shepherd himself.
It must be said that this armor’s silhouette saved Luo Xiao’s life and gave the Gold-plated Fire Dragon time to return and protect its master!
Even though the opportunity was missed, Zhu Minglang did not feel much regret.
Even if Luo Xiao had been killed, his Gold-plated Fire Dragon would not have perished because of that. Instead, it would have made the Fire Dragon seek revenge even more fiercely, never stopping until death. It would still have been difficult for them to survive.
The Gold-plated Fire Dragon stood tall with flames all over its body, its burly figure like a burning tower. It raised its head and spewed a large swath of magma towards the Ice Morning White Dragon!
Just a single drop of magma could turn a clump of grass into ashes. The high-temperature molten rock could even melt through stone. The red-hot, deadly liquid aimed at the Ice Morning White Dragon, which used the agility of its auxiliary wings to dodge like a butterfly dancing in mid-air!
In the air, a large block of airborne flames ignited, and Bai Qi passed below them, attempting to escape the range of the magma when, out of nowhere, the Gold-plated Fire Dragon charged, its sharp claws aiming directly at the neck of the Ice Morning White Dragon…
The Eagle Beast Dragon had perished under those golden claws. Despite its seemingly bulky body, the Gold-plated Fire Dragon was actually incredibly fast.
“Python Vortex! ”
Teacher Duan Lan’s voice rang out, as the Zhan River Dragon’s pupils flashed with azure light. Where its gaze reached, rough bands of water transformed into fierce water elemental pythons, their long bodies coiling together to form a raging vortex!
The water python vortex swept in from the side, striking the Gold-plated Fire Dragon accurately and knocking it to the ground!
Those water elemental pythons did not dissipate due to the fierce collision but instead turned into finer water snakes, entwining around the Gold-plated Fire Dragon’s limbs!
“Hiss hiss hiss hiss-
What was once a pool of cool water, a powerful Water Profound Art, was boiling and evaporating. The python’s Profound Art was also gradually vaporizing.
The flames of the Gold-plated Fire Dragon were so dominant and overbearing that the watery arts of the Zhan River Dragon struggled to hold it back..
