The Powerful North Dragon King
Zi Yan couldn't understand why Xiao Yan was so cowardly.
Xiao Yan is at least Five-star Dou Sheng, Xun'er is a genuine Six-star Dou Sheng. Both of them also possess extremely terrifying Heavenly Flames. Such strength is top-tier even on the Dou Qi Continent.
Although it's hard to admit, the reality is that either of them could suppress the entire Ancient Void Dragon Clan, and even the Four Dragon Islands combined couldn't stop them.
However, Xiao Yan's first thought was to retreat.
"Don't you have any youthful spirit at all?" Zi Yan covered her head, feeling quite helpless.
"I am mature beyond my years," Xiao Yan replied with a serious expression.
Xun'er pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes crinkling. The most impulsive thing Xiao Yan had ever done in his life was running off to become a live-in son-in-law of the Gu Clan.
"Alright, alright, I'll stay here. The other Dragon Kings definitely won't stand by and watch me continue to grow stronger. Why don't the Gu Clan lay an ambush beforehand? If the Soul Clan really intervenes, we can cut off their minions directly?" Zi Yan slapped her forehead and came up with a plan.
"Is that so..." Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, realizing that he couldn't take the entire East Dragon Island with him, so he could only nod in agreement.
The news of Zi Yan's return to the Hui people was not kept secret; the entire East Dragon Island knew about it, as did the Ancient Void Dragon of the other Dragon Island who had been harassing her.
Unexpectedly, the Three Great Dragon Kings did not come knocking immediately, and even the Ancient Void Dragon, which had been wandering outside East Dragon Island, had disappeared.
East Dragon Island also did not send out troops. All the Ancient Void Dragon were inside the Dragon Island, and only occasional Void Storm drifted across the entire void.
Zi Yan, however, did not remain idle. She devoted herself to cultivating the Dragon Emperor Secret Technique of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, the Dragon Slaying Sword.
The Dragon Slaying Sword is the most powerful Dou Technique among the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. It is a method exclusively for the Dragon Emperor. Even if the Dragon Kings possess the cultivation method, they will be unable to master it due to insufficient Bloodline Power.
The most formidable aspect of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan lies in their physical body and Space Talent, and the Dragon Slaying Sword can directly cripple the Ancient Void Dragon's proud and powerful physical body.
Unless there is a vast difference in strength, in the face of the Dragon Slaying Sword, the almost indestructible body of the Ancient Void Dragon will be like a lamb to the slaughter, at the mercy of the user of the Dragon Slaying Sword.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
On this day, a bloody stench, gradually spreading from afar, slowly permeated East Dragon Island.
This bloody aura, while imbued with Dragon Might, was not as grand and majestic as that of ordinary Ancient Void Dragon. Instead, it exuded a strange and malevolent aura, causing all the Ancient Void Dragon of East Dragon Island to feel uneasy and disgusted.
Zi Yan immediately soared into the sky, her eyes transforming into vertical pupils. Her fighting Dou Qi surged forth like a raging river, and a vast Dragon Might enveloped East Dragon Island, resisting the bloody aura.
The entire East Dragon Island erupted in cheers. They had been following in the footsteps of the Old Dragon Emperor, and although they had not yet welcomed Old Dragon Emperor back, finding Old Dragon Emperor bloodline was still a fortunate event.
In particular, this New Dragon Emperor is incredibly powerful.
However, Zi Yan frowned and stared intently at a figure not far away.
There were no enemies swarming everywhere, nor the Black Mist unique to the Soul Clan; there was only a burly, somewhat distorted figure.
"Hehehe, as expected of the pure Dragon Emperor Bloodline, this fragrance is so enticing that it makes my mouth water. It is far superior to that of the West Dragon King and the South Dragon King."
He was still far away when he spoke, but as soon as he finished speaking, the twisted figure of the North Dragon King was already in front of Zi Yan.
Only then did Zi Yan see clearly that the North Dragon King's body was covered in exaggerated bulges, and every pore was emitting bloody mist.
On top of that rock-climbing body was a head with three faces, and the one speaking was the face in the very center.
"You..." Zi Yan felt a strong shock, and nausea and discomfort rushed to her mind. Almost subconsciously, she summoned the Dragon Slaying Sword to destroy this disgusting creature.
The six scarlet pupils of the North Dragon King simultaneously revealed a hint of fear, but it quickly turned into drooling. Tian Tian said, "Dragon Slaying Sword... If I could devour you, I could also cultivate this secret technique."
Zi Yan had no intention of wasting words with him. Holding a gilded sword with a liquid-like texture, she lunged forward and stabbed at the distorted face of the North Dragon King.
The North Dragon King leisurely retreated, not daring to use his physical body to withstand the Dragon Slaying Sword, but he still kept talking. "You've already broken through to the Four-star Dou Sheng at such a young age? It's truly enviable! I've cultivated diligently for countless years, but I'm still stuck at the Peak Three-star Dou Sheng, unable to break through for a long time."
"Even after absorbing so much Essence Blood, I have only broken through to the Six-star Dou Sheng. If you were to cultivate to the peak and then come back, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to do anything to you."
The two exchanged blows for a while. Although Zi Yan was on the offensive, she couldn't achieve any real results. On the other hand, the North Dragon King kept dodging while also using his blood energy to interfere with Zi Yan. His face was full of mockery, like a cat playing with a mouse, and he didn't take Zi Yan seriously at all.
"Ancient Void Claw!" Zi Yan also realized this, and with a strong aura, she condensed a solid purple-gold giant claw in the void and grabbed the North Dragon King.
"Blood Dragon Devours Heaven!" The North Dragon King's six blood-red eyes flashed with ferocious light, spewing out a torrent of blood energy, and its purple-gold giant claws instantly became shaky.
But it would be enough to trap the North Dragon King for just a moment. Zi Yan lunged forward and thrust her Dragon Slaying Sword at his face.
"Laugh..."
The liquid-like Dragon Slaying Sword left a shallow bloodstain on the face of the North Dragon King, but at the last moment, he broke free from the Ancient Void Claw and held his arms horizontally in front of him, forcefully blocking the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Even among those at the same level of Dou Sheng), there can be a huge difference in skill level. The North Dragon King was two stars higher than Zi Yan, a world of difference indeed.
This is precisely why the North Dragon King was able to quickly break free from the Ancient Void Claw and possess a certain degree of resistance against the Dragon Slaying Sword.
"Roar!!!"
The intense pain destroyed the remaining sanity of the North Dragon King. At this moment, he no longer had any intention of showing off his power to the Dragon Emperor. His mind was filled only with the tyranny of tearing Zi Yan to pieces.
A jet-black beam of light shot out from the mouth of the North Dragon King. Zi Yan had no time to dodge, so she could only stretch the Dragon Slaying Sword with both hands and hold it horizontally in front of the beam of light in an attempt to block it.
"Boom!"
The pitch-black beam of light and the golden Dragon Slaying Sword were locked in a stalemate for only a moment before the Dragon Slaying Sword collapsed like a house of cards, and together with Zi Yan, it was smashed back to East Dragon Island.
The North Dragon King twisted his arms, and blood gushed out continuously. The wounds on them seemed to retain some kind of special power, making them almost impossible to heal. Even if the North Dragon King tensed his muscles with all his might, he could only slow down the flow of blood.
"Nihility Devouring Flame!" Xiao Yan, hiding on East Dragon Island, reacted instantly, crushing a jade slip. He breathed a sigh of relief upon sensing the fluctuation emanating from it.
At this moment, Zi Yan was in a terrible state. The North Dragon King's attack was just a pure burst of Dou Qi, but due to its extremely strong power and terrifying Nihility Devouring Flame, it not only shattered the Dragon Slaying Dragon Slaying Sword but also attached itself to her body.
Her once delicate face was now ashen, her eyebrows were burned off, and even a few strands of her long purple hair were singed.
"It seems you are indeed no match for him."
Just as the North Dragon King was about to suppress his injuries and kill Zi Yan first, Xun'er gracefully stood in front of Zi Yan and smiled faintly.
"Six-star Dou Sheng..." The North Dragon King's face darkened, then he sneered, "What, has the mighty Dragon Emperor fallen so low as to need to use someone else to deal with me?"
"I have people helping me, but what about you? Where have all the people who were willing to help you gone? Are you hated by everyone and nobody pays attention to you? Bah!" Zi Yan spat out, cursing. Although she was in pain all over her body, she didn't back down at all.
The North Dragon King glanced at Zi Yan, then focused his gaze on Xun'er, his three mouths grinning simultaneously. "No wonder you dared to block my way, you've also refined a decent Heavenly Flames, huh?"
Xun'er raised an eyebrow, naturally able to sense the apprehension emanating from the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame within her body. However, the Soul Clan's Nihility Devouring Flame, being Nine-star Dou Sheng, could not possibly be refined by the North Dragon King; at most, it was merely a Sub-flame.
Despite facing the Void Devouring Purifying Lotus Demon Flame- Child Flame of Nihility Devouring Flame, Xun'er showed no fear.
The North Dragon King shook his arm, and the pitch-black, Nihility Devouring Flame enveloped the wound, swallowing all the flowing blood and feeding it back to the North Dragon King, suppressing the injury in a wondrous way.
"No matter what kind of Heavenly Flames you have refined, it can never compare to my Nihility Devouring Flame!"
The battle resumed, but this time, the North Dragon King went all out, combining terrifying Nihility Devouring Flame with mottled blood energy. Although his technique was extremely crude, its power was still immense.
Xun'er's every move was accompanied by Milky White Flame with pink veins, purifying everything. Whether it was black flames or blood mist, they were all worn away by the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Power.
The two were surprisingly evenly matched.
