He's an Emperor's Son. You Dare Touch Him?
Li Daochen naturally knew there was a Jade Water Flood Dragon in the Jade Water Sect!
Yang Chen had only formed a connection with the Jade Water Sect because of this Jade Water Flood Dragon.
"At first, the Jade Water Flood Dragon only discovered that Yang Chen's constitution was related to the dragon race. But later, he discovered that Yang Chen carried a dragon bloodline..." Li Daochen's expression was indifferent.
Yang Chen had indeed been born into a small family, but his branch had extremely ancient origins connected to the dragons of antiquity. And because of the Dragon Transformation Emperor Scripture, his bloodline had actually begun to awaken gradually.
In his previous life, Yang Chen had even returned to his ancestral roots and held a prominent position among the dragons.
Li Daochen knew that if Yang Chen ran into danger, he would most likely come looking for the Jade Water Flood Dragon.
"But so what!"
That was exactly what Li Daochen wanted to see!
Because Li Daochen had a way to restrain the Jade Water Flood Dragon!
At the thought, Li Daochen looked down.
He was dragging the corpses of Mu Qingqing and Mu Cheng.
The two of them had a bloodline connection to the Jade Water Flood Dragon—or rather, quite a few cultivators of the Jade Water Sect did.
Flood dragons were highly lustful, and it was common for them to lie with humans and sire offspring!
This Jade Water Flood Dragon could take human form, so he naturally had a great many offspring.
And that gave Li Daochen an opportunity. In fact, this was a disaster Yang Chen had brought upon himself.
When the Jade Water Flood Dragon first set his sights on Yang Chen, Yang Chen thought the flood dragon might have seen that he possessed the Dragon Transformation Emperor Scripture, so he secretly made a move against him.
Using the bloodlines of the Jade Water Flood Dragon's offspring as a catalyst, he drew on the Dragon Transformation Emperor Scripture to place ancient curse seals inside Mu Qingqing and Mu Cheng.
Once the curse seals were triggered, they could restrain the Jade Water Flood Dragon for a time.
That was also why Yang Chen had not kept the two of them at the Battle Sect back then. After all, if they had been dead too long, the curse seals would disappear.
"Originally, I couldn't trigger the curse seals either. But when I seized the Azure Emperor Key, I used the Xuanyuan Emperor Scripture to extract a portion of the Dragon Transformation Emperor Scripture's power from it. That's just what I need to trigger the seals!"
Li Daochen smiled coldly and abruptly chopped off Mu Qingqing's and Mu Cheng's left hands, where the curse seals were located. He stowed them in his storage ring, then swaggered toward the lake.
Boom!
As soon as Li Daochen approached the lake, he felt an immense pressure.
The Jade Water Flood Dragon was at least at the third level of the Dragon Gate, far beyond the Taiqian Sect Master at the first level. He could easily kill Li Daochen.
Seeing that Li Daochen actually dared to come to him of his own accord, the Jade Water Flood Dragon narrowed his eyes.
"Brat, you've got some nerve!" he said coldly.
Strictly speaking, the Jade Water Flood Dragon was more like Yang Chen's protector than Lin Jingfeng was. At least he asked for nothing in return.
Seeing Li Daochen bully Yang Chen like this naturally displeased the Jade Water Flood Dragon.
Yang Chen, meanwhile, stared fixedly at Li Daochen.
But he said nothing, afraid of scaring Li Daochen away.
Zhuge Yaoguang, however, frowned.
Li Daochen was far too confident, and that gave him a bad feeling.
"This is a matter between juniors. Aren't you ashamed to interfere, you old flood dragon?" Li Daochen sneered.
"In this world, the strong survive and the weak are eliminated. What distinction is there between juniors and seniors?" The Jade Water Flood Dragon's eyes were contemptuous. "Since you've dared to deliver yourself to my door, I naturally have no reason to let you go. Will you surrender, or shall I make you?"
"Why don't you try?" The corners of Li Daochen's mouth rose.
The Jade Water Flood Dragon was about to say more.
"Senior, attack at once! This boy is treacherous; there may be a trap!" Zhuge Yaoguang shouted sharply.
The Jade Water Flood Dragon's eyes turned fierce. Sure enough, he said no more and reared his terrifyingly massive body out of the lake.
"Die!" The Jade Water Flood Dragon struck at Li Daochen with a claw, as though the heavens were collapsing.
But at that very moment.
Li Daochen flung out Mu Qingqing's and Mu Cheng's left hands, then thrust a palm forward from a distance.
"Activate!" he barked. The two left hands instantly exploded, transforming into dragon-shaped curse seals, one black and one red. Though illusory, they held a terrible power.
Roar!
The phantoms of a black dragon and a red dragon roared and, under the Jade Water Flood Dragon's stunned gaze, wrapped themselves around him, leaving him unable to move an inch.
"Bloodline curse seals?" The Jade Water Flood Dragon's expression darkened, and he whipped his head toward Yang Chen.
Yang Chen froze, then went deathly pale.
This was a method he had devised to control the Jade Water Flood Dragon. How could Li Daochen use it too?
Or rather, how did Li Daochen know about it?
The next moment, Yang Chen trembled violently all over as the Dragon Transformation Emperor Scripture began circulating uncontrollably within him.
Li Daochen had indeed activated the bloodline curse seals, but they drew on Yang Chen as their source, consuming his power.
At that moment, he no longer had even the strength to flee.
"Li Daochen, you despicable bastard!" Yang Chen screamed.
Idiot... The Jade Water Flood Dragon cursed furiously, his expression dark. He had never expected Yang Chen to be suspicious of him, much less that their enemy would discover it. But this was no time to pursue the matter.
He roared urgently, "Yang Chen, undo the curse seals!"
"The curse seals can't be reversed..." Yang Chen's expression was grim.
The Jade Water Flood Dragon: "..."
At that instant.
Boom!
Li Daochen did not attack Yang Chen first. Instead, he charged at Zhuge Yaoguang.
Zhuge Yaoguang's expression changed drastically. His thought of taking Yang Chen and fleeing was snuffed out in an instant, and he ran without hesitation.
He could feel that if he hesitated even a little, Li Daochen would intercept him and kill him without mercy!
At that moment, all Zhuge Yaoguang could do was run!
Li Daochen stopped, then looked contemptuously at Yang Chen, who could barely move, and sneered. "Now then, who else can save you?"
"I..." Yang Chen began.
But.
Bang!
Li Daochen's hand was like a dragon's claw as he seized Yang Chen by the neck, and Yang Chen was pressed hard into the ground.
Yang Chen's eyes went unfocused, and he nearly died.
No martial virtue at all! He won't even let me finish speaking.
"Villains die because they talk too much. Yang Chen, what do you think of me as a villain?" Li Daochen sneered. As he spoke, he thrust his hand into Yang Chen's abdomen and dug out the Holy Dragon Bone.
Then.
Before Yang Chen could scream, Li Daochen thrust his hand back in.
This time, he was after the Dragon Transformation Emperor Scripture!
"Ah..." Only then did Yang Chen begin screaming wildly, his cries piercing and anguished.
Just then.
"You little bastard!" the Jade Water Flood Dragon roared.
His voice was terrifying, full of boundless menace. "Forget about me! My father is the patriarch of the Jade Heaven Sect, and he's also Yang Chen's protector! If you dare touch him, my father will never let you go!"
Li Daochen sneered.
The Jade Heaven Sect was a Lower Profound Sect, and its patriarch was also a Jade Water Flood Dragon. He should have the strength of the Heaven Flying Realm.
But so what!
The heavens were high and the emperor far away. Could he really fly over here and beat Li Daochen to a pulp right now?
So Li Daochen kept digging!
Seeing this, the Jade Water Flood Dragon nearly threw back his head and roared.
He shouted, "Do you know that Yang Chen carries a dragon bloodline, and the bloodline of a legendary dragon great emperor at that? In other words, he's a dragon emperor's son. If you dare touch him, aren't you afraid the dragons will cut you to pieces?"
"There's no sign of the dragons now, and you're telling me this?" Li Daochen sneered.
"They'll emerge into the world one day!" the Jade Water Flood Dragon growled, almost roaring. "The dragons were overlords of antiquity. Are you worthy of opposing them? Ask yourself honestly: do you... dare?"
Li Daochen paused, then dug even harder. Yang Chen's consciousness had grown hazy; he was only a breath away from death.
Inside Li Daochen, the Holy Dragon Bone and the Demonic Dragon Bone surged, forming black and white cages that were madly pursuing the Dragon Transformation Emperor Scripture within Yang Chen!
It seemed to have gained a spirit of its own and refused to leave Yang Chen's body.
But.
"Seal it!" Li Daochen growled, and the Xuanyuan Emperor Sword erupted with terrifying imperial might.
Boom!
Inside Yang Chen, the Dragon Transformation Emperor Scripture shook violently and curled up into a small dark-gold dragon, sealed by the cages formed from the Holy Dragon Bone and the Demonic Dragon Bone.
Then.
Rip!
Li Daochen pulled hard, dragging the Dragon Transformation Emperor Scripture out of Yang Chen's body.
He then looked up at the Jade Water Flood Dragon and said coldly, "What do you think? Do I dare?"
