Chapter 93: Chapter 81: Black Dragon
Although this wasn’t his strongest blow, it had far surpassed the limit that a second-year student like Long Yi could bear! Yet, unbelievably, Long Yi hadn’t perished!
What was even more baffling was that this was the first time he’d encountered someone in this world who could cast spells so quickly! And the miraculous thing was, three of the spells were from their own Black Dragon series!
The Dark Binding reduced his spell level by twenty-seven tiers! His original spell once held the power of thirty-nine tiers! But now, he was left with merely twelve tiers!
It was actually three consecutive Dark Bindings! His Double Spellcasting had been activated twice in a row! Given Long Yi’s base level of nine-tiered spell, not only had it immobilized him, it had forcefully suppressed his spell to twelve tiers!
This was utterly preposterous! Long Yi’s level of spell had always trailed behind his own, how on earth could he forcefully suppress his power? This was ludicrous! Twelve tiers! Only a meager twelve tiers remained! This was nothing short of a joke!
How the hell could this bastard cast spells like this? You call what he was chanting dragon language? A dragon’s sneeze would sound better than his chanting! Yet, every single spell he cast was successful! It even included the spells of the Black Dragon series! Although casting spells from the Black Dragon series wasn’t prohibited in the White Dragon Empire, how many Black Dragons could there possibly be in the entire White Dragon Empire? Aren’t all the Black Dragons under the tight supervision of the Black Dragon Empire? There’s no way the Dragon God Temple would give the White Dragon Empire any Black Dragon Eggs!
So where the hell did this bastard get his Black Dragon power from? The Black Dragon aura within him was even denser than his own, a veteran Black Dragon Mage! And his attack was even more ruthless than his own?
Wasn’t this kid the legendary Dual Dragon Knight in the rumors? One Ground Dragon and one Shadow Dragon, the only dragon that could somewhat relate to the Black Dragon would be the Shadow Dragon, but that was merely a loose connection! The Shadow Dragon was notorious for hating knights, how would it possibly provide Dragon Power to a knight?
In the midst of sudden surprise, the man in black had only managed to use his own mana to block Dark Impact once, and then, that Dark Impact had actually succeeded twice! Three Dark Impacts, although only capable of a ninth-tier power, still left him aching with a burning sensation all over. This was truly incredible! Ninth-tier mana, ninth-tier Fighting Aura, this kid was truly full of surprises! What he hadn’t expected was that his own Dark Binding only managed to suppress Long Yi’s spell level by five tiers! How was that possible! You should know that his thunderous attack was a killer blow! Given his power, he could have subdued this man into a cripple, and let Dark Impact corrode him alive into a mass of flesh!
Actually, he had truly intended, as he himself had said, to harbor admiration for this talent, if it hadn’t been for this incident.
Regrettably, such a talent had to be strangled in the cradle! Otherwise, on future battlefields, it would undoubtedly cause tremendous trouble for his own nation!
Yet, Long Yi still didn’t die. Not only did he not die, he even had the mood to crack open a joke:
"Old fellow, you’ve been hiding in the Imperial Magic Research Institute for quite a while, right?" Long Yi flexed his arms, the piercing pain was slowly fading away. Underneath the Giant bloodline, any damage from Fighting Aura or spells would be reduced.
The eyes of the man in black flickered for a moment, then he laughed heartily, "Kid, you’re indeed clever. We always thought you were just good at fighting, but we didn’t expect that you could guess even this! It appears the intelligence team really underestimated you. But because of that, I have no choice but to leave you with no choice."
A cold sneer of disdain etched itself on Long Yi’s mouth: "Heh, do you really think that no one knows your little tricks? Or were you under the impression that our presence there was just a coincidence? Why not a coincidence sooner or later, but specifically at that time, they issued this task to us? Why not others, but us specifically? Do you still naively think you can escape? You’ve hidden in our White Dragon Empire for so long and so painstakingly, but didn’t think that we two kids would ruin it and had even lost a leg while fleeing in haste. Originally, you could have just honestly returned to the Black Dragon Empire, but now you came seeking revenge on me out of rage and haste, do you really think all your actions were flawless?"
Right now, Long Yi was using all the eloquence he had accumulated in his lifetime because he had absolutely no clue about anything!
He didn’t know that the man in black was from the Imperial Magic Research Institute, he didn’t know about his plot, and he didn’t know whether he had been exposed. At this moment, he was completely bluffing! Through two lifetimes, he had never played the role of a conspirator, but now, he was imitating the expression of Zhuge Liang from the TV series in his memory. He squinted his eyes and raised his chin slightly, looking as if he had everything under control, with the sole aim to deceive the other party! Using all incidents that had already transpired, and framing them as rhetorical questions, as long as his opponent was cunning enough, they were bound to fall into deep contemplation!
And Long Yi had betted correctly!
The flickering in the man’s eyes had already exposed his doubts!
Was it possible that somebody had leaked his whereabouts? Was this a trap for him? Even the formula could be a fake? No, the formula was authentic, but only contained three pages. Could it be that their original plan was to use him as a scapegoat to catch a bigger fish? But why would they send out cannon fodder like Long Yi instead? Or was Long Yi just a decoy, and they were actually preparing something bigger? Against whom? If not him, then who else?
Long Yi had bought some precious time. He wanted to use his Giant bloodline to break free from the effects of Dark Binding, and at the same time, he needed to use his own power to force out the Black Dragon Power that had seeped into his body.
Long Yi knew very well that his opponent was very strong, and even if he unleashed all his power, he might not be a match for him. It was just by sheer luck that he had managed to suppress his opponent’s power to a lower level. Regardless of the reason, it would be a huge waste if he didn’t take advantage of this situation!
At this moment, the advantages of the Giant bloodline were fully displayed. The Black Dragon Power within him was being corroded and weakened. The Dark Binding that had been cast on him was rapidly dwindling in effect!
Suddenly, Long Yi felt his body lighten!
"Old man, give me a smile!"
Long Yi’s Fighting Aura exploded violently, and he shot off like a cannonball, his fist punching forward!
"Dark Guardian!"
The man in black cast a cold glare, muttering the dragon tongue from his mouth. Immediately, a black whirlwind appeared around his body, with tiny blades dancing within it, creating a sharp ringing sound.
"Damn your Dark Guardian!"
BANG!
Midway, Long Yi suddenly sped up! All his mana transformed into fighting aura!
Tier 18 Fighting Aura!
BANG!
His punch, landed solidly onto the man in black’s face, distorting it. Just a mere punch knocked the man’s hat and veil off, sent several teeth flying, and completely dislocated his jaw. The man in black fainted momentarily!
It was only a moment, but the Dark Guardian disappeared completely. Long Yi strode menacingly towards the man, grabbed his collar, and noticed a vaguely familiar old face. He seemed to have seen him at the opening ceremony, but Long Yi didn’t recognize him. But it didn’t matter. He could slowly familiarize himself after killing him!
Long Yi didn’t bother to prepare any victor’s speech. He raised his hand, ready to strangle the man’s neck to end the fight. Still, at that moment, a small dragon head suddenly appeared from behind the man’s collar, it’s mouth already open!
Black color, sunken eye sockets, exposed skull plate!
It was a Black Dragon! In its resting form, no less! But the dragon’s breath was still that of a mature dragon!
Damn, he had forgotten that this damn person was a Black Dragon Mage and his dragon would never be far away!
Long Yi did not even have time to crush the man’s neck. He condensed all of his fighting aura into his legs, violently spun around, and with all his strength, kicked the man in the chest. Instantly, a dent appeared in the chest of the man and, along with the small Black Dragon, they were sent flying. Furthermore, Long Yi retreated rapidly!
ROAR!
A dragon roar echoed as a eighteen meter long Black Dragon rushed towards the sky, directly charging at Long Yi! Dragon’s breath was already raining down!
"Damn you, you’re still after me! Your rider’s almost dead!"
Long Yi shouted desperately, running swiftly and darting unpredictably left and right. At this point, only an idiot would dare to look back. An adult Black Dragon’s power was not something current Long Yi could match! In terms of offence, his muscle certainly wouldn’t last against a dragon’s breath. Even if he risked his life, it was doubtful that he could breach the armor of the Black Dragon.
Run! Just run!
At this moment, Long Yi could only be thankful that while the Dragon Clan had strong bodies, they could not utilize Fighting Aura or magic and could only rely on their Dragon’s Breath for attack. If the dragon suddenly roared and unleashed two Sword Qi Slashes, he might as well choke himself to death, it would be less troublesome.
At this moment, from within Academy City, a deep but extraordinarily loud dragon roar echoed!
Hearing the roar, the Black Dragon showed a terrified expression in its cold eyes, and it abruptly turned around and flew off into the distance. It picked up the ragged man in black from a corner and disappeared into the horizon, leaving only a black speck in sight.
Only then did Long Yi dare to breathe a sigh of relief. He collapsed onto the ground, sweat seeping out from his dragon scale armor, forming a mist.
The ground was covered in a pungent smell. Flowers, trees, rocks, and soil were all corroded by the powerful acid that the Black Dragon had sprayed, a sight of devastation. If that Dragon Breath were sprayed on Long Yi himself, even with the aid of his dragon scale armor, he could only hold on for a few seconds before being disintegrated, bones and all.
After all, Bajie was still a young dragon.
