Chapter 184: Chapter 145: Sinister Person [Third Update]
A gleam of malicious intent flashed in Linter’s eyes. His words seemed righteous and stern, but they were extremely vicious. Everyone knows that the Light Wind Dragon moves at an incredibly high speed. How could it come to a halt instantly, especially in the heat of a speed contest with the Shadow Dragon? Up ahead, the flashing icy horn was just within reach while the heavyset Flying Dragon was unable to stop safely!
Linter knew that the other party couldn’t stop, but he wouldn’t dare to actually harm them. He was just a minor character who had no right to harm one of his own. He just deliberately wanted to see the other party make a fool of themselves.
At this point, the Light Wind Dragon had only two choices: to ascend or to dive down. If it ascends, its underbelly might be slashed by the horn. If it chooses to dive down, with the height at which they’re currently fighting, the Light Wind Dragon is likely to crash into the guard tower of the military barracks up ahead!
"Bastard!"
The battlefield experience of Lei Zhen was more than enough for him to see through Linter’s treacherousness. This is a common tactic on the battlefield, forcing the opponent to choose one of two disadvantages! To use such a method against a rookie who is flying for the first time! It was downright shameless!
Long Yi also noticed the crisis ahead. In the heat of the moment, he could easily destroy the opponent with a fighter jet, but the Light Wind Dragon beneath him didn’t listen at all!
"Damn!"
"Light Wind Dragon, let me see how strong your wings are!"
Long Yi vigorously grabbed the neck of the Light Wind Dragon, jerking upwards forcefully.
"Light Wind Dragon, spread your wings as wide as possible for me! Give me a-- Cobra Maneuver!"
Due to the pain in the neck, the Light Wind Dragon could only follow Long Yi’s movements. Its entire body was completely upright in the air, its wings fully spread, the giant wing membranes caught the air, reducing the huge body speed consecutively. The roots of the wings uttered crackling friction sounds. Long Yi, on the other hand, unbuckled his foot and rushed out like artillery fire due to the inertia during deceleration, heading straight for Linter!
At this moment, Linter, who was still smug on the back of the Unicorn Dragon, saw that the Light Wind Dragon was completely upright, and almost at the same time, a man was flung from the back of the dragon!
"Unicorn Dragon, dodge quickly!"
Linter, seeing that man charging directly at him, hurriedly controlled the Unicorn Dragon to turn around. Long Yi was waiting for this chance!
The vast body of the Light Wind Dragon collided with the Unicorn Dragon’s neck, the sharp horn scraped from underneath the Light Wind Dragon’s wing roots, and the two massive bodies collided together.
Meanwhile, Long Yi slammed onto Linter without any frills, grabbing Linter and flying towards the tower behind.
Boom!
The windows of the guard tower were punctured directly, and both men tumbled in.
The spectators in the tower, who had been enjoying the drama, were startled and then gathered around.
A burly figure was pinning down Linter, whose one leg was completely twisted and distorted, his other ankle was deformed, his skin ripped open with blood flowing profusely.
Linter’s feet were fixed to the dragon saddle with boots, the horrific impact force Long Yi exerted directly knocked him off the dragon saddle, he didn’t even have time to unbuckle them.
"Damn!"
Long Yi slowly crawled up, staring at his lacerated forearms. Although they were just superficial injuries, he was thoroughly pissed off.
"Kid, this is fucking attempted murder, isn’t it?" Long Yi glared at Linter and roared.
Even though Linter tried his best to protect his body with his Fighting Aura, he was already having trouble breathing due to the harsh impact. How could he possibly have the energy to speak?
"Not saying anything means you admit it?"
I’m not not speaking! I can’t breathe! Linter’s lips moved a few times, no sound came out, but he saw Long Yi opened his large hand and grabbed his head. Then, he felt as if the world was spinning, and next thing he knew, he was falling from the tower!
At this point, Linter had no way to use his Fighting Aura to protect his body, and from this height, he would undoubtedly be killed by the fall!
Vincent had been keeping a close eye on the developments. It wasn’t the first or second time Linter has acted like this, seemingly dangerous, but Linter did not have the courage to truly harm anyone, especially since this was a military barracks. As long as the other party panics, makes some mistakes, Linter’s goal would have been achieved.
But today, they ran into a tough nut. For Long Yi, this was considered a serious matter? Who would have thought that both sides would end up badly wounded!
No! It’s not both sides being injured!
A man is being thrown out of the tower! It’s Linter!
"Go catch him quickly!"
Vincent hurriedly dispatched his Mount Dragon, with a roar, Vincent’s Mount Dragon transformed into an adult dragon and rushed towards the tower, catching Linter, who was about to fall to his death, in mid-air.
Standing at the window, Long Yi looked at the distant Vincent, curling his lip.
"Idiot."
Long Yi was hardly injured. At the moment he was thrown out, he released nearly two dragon marks worth of fighting aura to protect himself. Such minor wounds were nothing to him. As for Linter, his injuries were severe. One of his leg bones was crushed, his ankle severely sprained. Several of his ribs were broken, and his neck vertebrae were dislocated by Long Yi as he was thrown.
Luckily, Linter hadn’t died. He needed a range of treatments to recover, and it would be at least a year before he was able to ride a dragon again.
Watching Linter being carried away, Vincent’s anger was soaring. However, Captain Sweel had clearly seen everything and couldn’t say a lot.
"Captain, my man was seriously injured by an outsider. What do you think?"
"Long Yi, what do you think?" Captain Sweel turned the question back to Long Yi.
"I don’t care. If he wants to apologize and compensate, we can settle this. If he wants to court death, I can accompany him to the end." Honest man Long Yi tried to make a smile of an honest man, but his expression was somewhat fierce. It was evident that he also harbored some anger in his heart.
No!
Actually, Long Yi was not angry at all! He was excited!
Come on, Vincent, you idiot! Challenge me! Come on! Let’s have a real fight! Choose any location you like!
Vincent anticipated many things Long Yi might have said, but he never imagined that Long Yi would still dare to be so arrogant in front of him! Among the people surrounding Long Yi, Vincent only recognized Lei Zhen. He knew Lei Zhen was from the third legion and while young, had some real power. The girl standing by Long Yi seemed pretty and delicate, wearing a tight silver suit, but didn’t look like she had much strength. The handsome man standing on the side, although charming, did not seem powerful either. Judging from this, that big brute didn’t seem to have any support at all.
"Captain, my man can’t be crippled for no reason," Vincent said.
"Dad! The boy next door bullied me!" Long Yi muttered under his breath. Ai Lin burst into laughter, as it was obvious Long Yi was mocking him. The Crown Prince also couldn’t help but smile at Long Yi’s constant chaotic behavior.
The Crown Prince turned to look at Lei Zhen, only to find that Lei Zhen was still in a daze.
Right now, Lei Zhen’s mind was filled with the series of actions Long Yi had taken. Putting himself in Long Yi’s shoes, he admitted he wouldn’t have been able to come up with a good solution for that situation. The only thing he could have done was bet that the opponent wouldn’t dare to seriously hurt him. Yet, Long Yi’s judgment in that moment surpassed everyone’s expectations, especially when he completely stood the giant dragon up, spread its wings to decelerate. Doing this, even for a dragon clan member, would be extremely challenging. Moreover, they would never make such a move that exposed their own belly in front of the opponent, and no one had ever thought about this before.
In that moment, Long Yi not only made the Light Wind Dragon do this, but he also threw himself off the Light Wind Dragon because of its sudden deceleration, accurately casting Linter away, forcing the defending mount dragon to turn around. As a result, both the Light Wind Dragon and the defending mount dragon had only minor injuries; Long Yi had some minor scratches on both arms. Linter, however, was more miserable, with severe fractures on both legs, broken neck vertebrae, and broken ribs. If it were not for Vincent’s final rescue, he would probably have lost his life. Nevertheless, Vincent could not say that Long Yi was suspected of murder, because from anyone’s point of view, it was Linter who was suspected of murder first, Long Yi just counterattacked for self-defense.
So, while Vincent raised the point that this matter couldn’t be left as it stand, he dared not question Long Yi. This might send the half-dead Linter to military court, and as Linter’s superior, Vincent might not be able to stay out of it.
However, this matter can definitely not be swallowed. Once this goes ignored, his position in this camp will plummet.
"I would like to challenge this Dragon Rider fairly, win or lose, this matter is settled." Vincent said.
This was his goal. He wanted to intensely embarrass this arrogant kid in the sky! Beat him half to death! Throw him down from the sky! Of course, he definitely wouldn’t kill Long Yi. Although he didn’t know who Long Yi was, since he appeared with Captain Sweel he must be somewhat related. But this is a military camp, as long as no one dies during the fight, who would involve themselves in a tiny bit of an accident?
"Long Yi, what do you think?" Captain Sweel did not make any judgments and directly asked Long Yi.
"Who’s responsible if someone is accidentally killed?" Long Yi asked.
"Fighting between allies, stop when you’ve bested the opponent," said Captain Sweel.
"Knives and swords have no eyes, and I can’t guarantee that accidents won’t happen!" Long Yi turned back and held out his hand, a frosty, gorgeously striking Dragon-slaying Sword was immediately handed to him.
Yes, this is the Frost’s Sorrow that was taken from Long Yi’s hand by Elsa. The clever Long Yi exchanged his crystal Dragon-slaying Sword with Elsa’s, getting back his favourite sword, Frost’s Sorrow.
Vincent didn’t recognize Long Yi, but he recognized Frost’s Sorrow!
As a Dragon Rider of the Imperial City, although he rarely saw Elsa, who among the Dragon Riders in the Imperial City, or even the border, didn’t know about the magnificent Dragon-slaying Sword in her hand? Some people have gone to the Elves or Dwarves, wanting a similar sword, but neither the Elves nor the Dwarves have ever heard of the sword, Frost’s Sorrow.
And now, the sword is in Long Yi’s hand!
Frost’s Sorrow was simply too extraordinary, Vincent couldn’t help but recognize it!
"Frost’s Sorrow?" Vincent couldn’t resist and finally asked. This was the Dragon-slaying Sword he dreamed of, and even if he won, he wouldn’t be happy without asking.
"Frost’s Sorrow." With that, Long Yi shook the sword, spreading the frosty air around, giving off the complete aura of a literati.
"Where did you buy it?" Vincent asked again.
"None of your damn business," said Long Yi. (To be continued. If you like this novel, please recommend it at starting point（qidian.com）, vote for it or subscribe to it. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
