Chapter 1181: Chapter 1181: Settling the Divine Dragon
Even though Zhuge Yun used the Dragon-slaying Sword and beat the Divine Dragon to the point its mother wouldn’t recognize it, it was truly terrified to the bone.
From that moment, the Divine Dragon no longer believed in the saying that Spirit Beasts are stronger than cultivators of the same level. Back then, Zhuge Yun’s power level was similar to its own, but his moves were extremely heaven-defying. Just that one move alone was enough to nearly incapacitate it, let alone any other big moves.
Thinking back, the Divine Beast lay back on the ground. After that particular move, it spent over twenty years recovering, and its body just gradually got better. Now, it can finally fully recover and is able to cultivate. If it got hit again, it really wouldn’t be able to survive.
At this moment, the Divine Beast was scared. It didn’t know whether the person in front of it was a descendant of Zhuge Yun. If he was, wouldn’t that be a disaster? If it really hurt him, and Zhuge Yun came back, it would be as good as dead.
Thus, the Divine Beast decisively said, "Roar... suddenly I feel like taking a stroll outside. Seems like the air out there is quite good, yes, very good indeed."
"Huh?"
Chen Tianlong was taken aback by its words. What’s going on? How can the Divine Beast’s character be so changeable? What if it suddenly goes back on its word?
So, Chen Tianlong said, "Are you sure? You’re not just teasing me, right?"
"I’m not teasing you. I just like the outside air." The Divine Beast was truly scared, even thinking about it gave it the chills.
"Really? Then can you promise me to pretend to fight with me later? Some people outside want to see me get played to death by you. I want to mess with them."
Chen Tianlong directly shared his idea.
"Huh? Someone dares to mess with you?"
The Divine Beast was also stunned. How can there be people who don’t know their limits and want to play him?
In the eyes of the Divine Beast, it couldn’t believe anyone could be stronger than this young man. If that were the case, why not just come over and wipe it out, instead of going to such lengths to lure it out?
"Yes, those people are very arrogant. Long, could you help me out?"
Chen Tianlong’s tone was somewhat pleading.
"Don’t say that, young man. There’s no such thing as whether I help or not. Your business is my business; I’ll accompany you to play them to death." The Divine Beast thought that Chen Tianlong was testing its loyalty, hence it spoke very respectfully.
"Oh, okay. Thank you, Long. Later, we have to act realistically. Feel free to attack me, just don’t hit to kill. I have automatic healing."
Chen Tianlong outright told the Divine Dragon about one of the functions of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, aiming to make their act more convincing later.
"Huh? Automatic healing?"
The Divine Beast was extremely surprised. It remembered that Zhuge Yun had been like that too. It had grabbed him, and blood was flowing initially, but soon after, he was fine again. Could this be the reason?
Thinking of this, the Divine Beast was now convinced without a doubt that this is indeed Zhuge’s descendant or rather a very formidable person, whom it shouldn’t provoke.
"Yes, don’t tell anyone else. I don’t generally tell other people." Chen Tianlong said very seriously.
"Roar... of course, I won’t say anything. I promise." The Divine Dragon vowed, not daring to divulge. It still wanted to quietly remain a Divine Dragon.
"Alright then, good. Let’s head out now." Chen Tianlong said with a satisfied smile.
"No problem."
The Divine Beast agreed, and thus the two of them began to slowly walk out.
As one man and one tiger started heading towards the outside, Chen Tianlong suddenly stopped near the cave entrance.
"Alright, Divine Beast, let’s start the act here. Later, you just chase me strongly, and I’ll run strongly. Once you’re out farther, we’ll start fighting outside. Fight until it’s good enough then run a bit farther, chat a little, bask in the sun. When the sun sets, we’ll come back, alright?"
Chen Tianlong laid out the entire plan, seeking the Divine Beast’s approval.
The Divine Beast saw these requests as too easy, without any harm, and it was just accompanying to play, so it hurriedly said, "Just this? So simple!"
"Yep, just this." Chen Tianlong responded.
"No problem, we can start then." The Divine Beast agreed heartily.
"Okay." Chen Tianlong replied.
And then in the next moment, one could see such a scene unfold: Chen Tianlong running for his life upfront, with a Divine Dragon behind him, shouting "Roar, roar" and chasing; the scene was incredibly realistic.
Seeing the Divine Dragon exit the cave, Pure Yang Feifei quickly led the Attribute Female Cultivator group into the Divine Dragon’s cave, where each one occupied a spot as previously directed by Pure Yang Feifei, and began to operate the Heart Method Mantra, adding Evil Qi.
Meanwhile, Pure Yang Feifei was helping to protect them and coordinate everything!
Chen Tianlong ran out of the cave and then led the Divine Dragon toward Du Min. While running, Chen Tianlong loudly shouted, "The Divine Dragon is coming! Everyone, get ready for battle."
Du Min saw Chen Tianlong leading out the Divine Dragon and a sinister cold smile flashed across his lips!
"Chen Tianlong, I’ve tolerated you long enough. Now let’s see if you survive this. At the Celestial Pill Sect, I couldn’t kill you, but this time, here, you’re dead for sure." Du Min thought wickedly.
"Everyone don’t move, Chen Tianlong is the top martial artist, the future Martial Arts Alliance Leader, incredibly intelligent, let him manage himself. Us stepping in will just be hindrances."
Du Min sneered at the other trial takers.
"Okay!" Everyone nodded, thinking it’s a great deal—completing the mission without lifting a finger, who wouldn’t want that?
As for Chen Tianlong’s life or death, it seemed to have little impact on them as long as their interests weren’t involved. But Tan Batian, Yang Fan, and Cheng Qianjin were somewhat anxious watching Chen Tianlong and wanted to jump in to help.
"Lady Wushuang, can Chen Tianlong handle this alone? Shouldn’t we go assist him?"
Tan Batian hesitated a bit before suggesting, fearing to anger Du Min’s group, but ultimately Chen Tianlong was his friend and couldn’t just ignore him.
"Chen Tianlong should be able to handle it; we shouldn’t worry." Lin Wushuang shook her head and said, "He’s really impressive. We better not go add trouble."
"Huh? I see."
Tan Batian paused. Lin Wushuang was more acquainted with Chen Tianlong and knew more about him. Since she said so, Tan Batian followed suit but still nervously watched Chen Tianlong.
"Wu, once Chen Tianlong starts losing, you deal with Lin Wushuang." Du Min said.
"No problem."
Xu Fei nodded. He finally saw a chance to turn things around. In fact, his grudge against Chen Tianlong wasn’t very big; it was merely because Chen Tianlong repeatedly ruined his plans.
However, as conflicts gradually escalated, it reached the current point where Xu Fei now aimed to defeat Chen Tianlong.
Only, watching Chen Tianlong and the Divine Dragon maneuvering for some time without a result seemed like the Divine Dragon couldn’t quite deal with Chen Tianlong.
