Chapter 2039: Chapter 2040: Obtaining the Dragon Bone
Ye Luo almost trembled as he bent down; the golden dragon bone was right in front of him, yet his heart was filled with unease.
Just as he was about to reach out and grab it, a chilling sensation suddenly swept over his entire body!
There’s killing intent! There is danger!
Almost simultaneously, the Dragon Soul within Ye Luo frantically started to operate. He whipped his head around abruptly, only to see a giant sword, already so close!
It was Liu Bing! He finally revealed his true face!
Ye Luo had no time to think, because this sword strike was something no Seventh Rank cultivator could unleash!
Without hesitation, he released the great magical power of the Dragon King.
Bang!
Suddenly, a violent explosion sound came from above Ye Luo, and his body flew away like a kite.
At the same time, heart-wrenching pain spread throughout his body, making it feel as if he was being torn apart.
With a thud, his body slammed heavily onto the ground, the pain almost making him faint!
He raised his head with difficulty, finding that Liu Bing opposite him wasn’t faring much better, grimacing and covered in blood.
"Hmph, I knew you had something strange about you, now you finally can’t resist?" Ye Luo said with a grim face.
Yet in his heart, he became more vigilant; this guy’s giant sword had power not inferior to the great magical power of the Dragon King! How terrifying this was!
Who exactly is the person behind him!
"I don’t know who you really are, whether from the Dragon Clan or the Human Race, what I want is this dragon bone. If you want to stop me, I can only kill you!" Liu Bing said coldly.
Ye Luo squinted his eyes; indeed, his target was also this dragon bone!
In other words, the person behind Liu Bing had long known there was this dragon bone in the Tower of Trials!
But with his abilities, why didn’t he come personally?
Even the Supreme Elder of the Liu Family might not be his match!
Moreover, so many dragon clans being slaughtered here, could it be that those Dragon Kings really didn’t know?
Or perhaps Ao Long and others didn’t know, but what about the Floating Dragon King and Wandering Dragon King?
Ao Long had a good relationship with him, but what about the other Dragon Kings? However, this body-swapping technique, despite its current flaws, had ultimately changed Ye Luo’s body and bloodline! For him, it was a massive benefit!
The Dragon Clan provided such a great benefit to a member of the Human Race! Although Ye Luo was previously considered to have a half-dragon body, he was still not from the Dragon Clan!
Were these Dragon Kings doing this merely to preserve the bloodline of the Human Emperor?
Dragon Island was vast, and the Dragon Clan’s tribe was enormous!
Ye Luo couldn’t believe they couldn’t find a suitable dragon to inherit the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor!
He had felt it was strange at the time, and now it seemed there was surely some reason behind it!
Indeed, there’s no pie falling from the sky!
But now that he had accepted the body-swapping technique, he had no other choice but to follow this path to the end; if he couldn’t find the Dragon Emperor’s body, he would be doomed too!
Therefore, he had to have this dragon bone!
"If that’s the case, then die!" Ye Luo shouted.
The next moment, a weak dragon roar suddenly sounded.
Dragon Forbidden Technique!
This was completely a dragon spell, and something only those at the Dragon King level could use!
Instantly, Liu Bing’s expression became serious.
"Very well, so you are indeed from the Dragon Clan. This place is the Dragon Clan’s burial ground, and here you shall stay!"
As he spoke, he raised the giant sword, and immediately, a large amount of spiritual energy began to condense around the giant sword.
"Go!" Ye Luo suddenly struck with his palm, and the dragon roar turned into a bellow. A golden dragon’s shadow flew towards Liu Bing!
At the same time, the giant sword slashed down fiercely.
In mid-air, the two energies clashed instantly!
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood sprayed from Ye Luo’s mouth as he was sent flying once again.
But on Liu Bing’s side, the situation was not much better.
It turned out to be mutual destruction!
"Haha, let’s see how many strikes you can endure! My giant sword absorbs nature’s spiritual energy, can you handle it? Once your strength is exhausted, that will be the time I slay you!" Liu Bing laughed.
Ye Luo’s face grew cold and grim; Liu Bing was right, the magical power gathered by the Dragon King could slowly recover, but at a very slow pace. Meanwhile, Liu Bing’s giant sword absorbed nature’s spiritual energy! The sword’s own energy was scarcely consumed!
Ye Luo stood up with difficulty, "You’re forcing my hand!"
With that, Ye Luo pulled out a large number of talisman characters.
These were things he exchanged from those old dragons whose life force was running out, using the Fruit of Life! Each one was invaluable, but he couldn’t care about that now!
"You madman!" Liu Bing, knowing what these were, immediately raised his sword and started swinging it wildly.
"That’s right, this is the price for angering me!"
With a swoosh, Ye Luo threw the talisman characters out, and suddenly, it seemed as if the whole world changed color!
Instantly, Liu Bing was surrounded by the power of these talisman characters!
Ye Luo retreated continuously; the power of the talisman characters alarmed him inwardly, and in front, dust and sand flew, making it impossible to see Liu Bing’s figure!
After recovering some strength, Ye Luo frantically rushed towards the dragon bone, only relaxing slightly when he saw it was still there.
Holding it in his hand, a familiar and friendly feeling immediately emanated from the dragon bone.
This dragon bone was insignificant compared to the Dragon Emperor’s massive body, but for Ye Luo, it was extraordinary!
Although it couldn’t fix the flaws of the body-swapping technique, it could significantly enhance the compatibility of his body and soul.
Of course, this was not the time or place for fusion; Liu Bing’s life and death were still unknown!
As the dust gradually settled, Ye Luo became tense; if this still couldn’t deal with Liu Bing, he’d be in danger!
After all, his talisman characters were limited!
Fortunately, aside from a big pit on the ground, there was no sign of Liu Bing whatsoever.
Could Liu Bing have been blasted to pieces by these talisman characters? Impossible! His own strength might be lacking, but the energy contained within that giant sword was terrifying! Liu Bing might have perished, but that giant sword would certainly remain!
And now, even the giant sword had disappeared, which meant Liu Bing had definitely escaped!
As for how he escaped, Ye Luo couldn’t figure it out!
Suddenly, within this space, a tremendous force pressed down on Ye Luo’s body, and he realized that the Tower of Trials was finally closing!
With a swoosh, his figure was teleported out.
When he could see his surroundings clearly, he saw that he was surrounded by people, all from the Liu Family, standing right in front of him were the Family Head and those elders.
