"This guy is so troublesome." The Crown Prince was speechless. Mu Zibai's Mystic Armor Realm aura wasn't strong, but his combat experience was too refined.
It was as if he were someone who licked blood from the tip of a blade every day. His moves were not flashy at all; every strike served a purpose, maximizing his strength and seizing every opportunity.
In just over ten exchanges, the Dragon Person Crown Prince was almost disarmed, his arm nearly severed by Mu Zibai. Fortunately, his servant arrived in time to assist.
[Clang! First contact, points +50000]
Fifty thousand points?
The Dragon Person Crown Prince?
Mu Zibai's lips curved slightly. It seemed this person held a high position among the Dragon People.
"Your Highness, we cannot continue this entanglement, or we will all be trapped here," the servant said, preparing to cover the Crown Prince's retreat.
Mu Zibai dodged several water balls thrown by the servant and dashed in front of him, wielding his dagger. The servant dodged, then turned and spat out a stream of water.
This pushed Mu Zibai back.
At this moment, Mu Zibai stood between the two dragons, surrounded. Mu Zibai's lips curved slightly as he said, "I've heard that belts made from Dragon Sinew are very durable, lasting decades without damage. I'd like to try one. Are you willing to part with it?"
"How dare you!"
Upon hearing that Mu Zibai wanted to make a belt from his Dragon Sinew, how could the proud Dragon People possibly tolerate it? They immediately flew into a rage and attacked Mu Zibai.
He was an arrogant Dragon Person with royal blood, noble lineage, and thus, his Dragon Sinew was naturally top-tier.
This human actually wanted to make a belt out of it – it was too insulting!
"Your Highness, hurry and leave, or it will be too late!" the servant warned.
The Crown Prince gritted its teeth. It wasn't brainless either. Leaving behind a harsh threat, it said, "I've got my eye on you. You'd better pray you don't fall into my hands."
With that, the Dragon Person Crown Prince turned and left.
"Trying to run? I'm claiming this belt today!"
Mu Zibai intended to chase and detain the Dragon Person Crown Prince, but the servant behind him also caught up. The servant was faster than Mu Zibai and quickly closed the distance.
"Die!"
The servant's long claws pierced towards Mu Zibai's chest. Mu Zibai felt the killing intent from behind. After all, the servant was an old Mystic Armor Realm cultivator. If this attack landed, he would certainly be severely injured.
The Dragon Person Crown Prince ahead was moving very fast. If he were delayed by the servant, he would definitely not be able to catch him. Moreover, this servant was very strong, and it would be difficult to defeat him in a short time.
Furthermore, if they were to confront each other head-on, he might not be a match for him. Even with the experience of a Tiger Martial Realm expert, it wouldn't be enough. The gap in strength was already insurmountable. However, if he could stall for time, Mu Zibai would have a chance.
But if he did that, his Dragon Sinew belt would escape. Thinking of the Dragon Royal bloodline's Dragon Sinew, a belt made from it would be incredibly valuable.
Just then, the servant had already reached him from behind, his claws about to pierce Mu Zibai's back.
Mu Zibai decisively turned around. The servant was startled but didn't stop his attack, his claws lunging for Mu Zibai's chest. At this moment, Mu Zibai grabbed the servant's hand.
Chii!
It was too late to stop the servant. Injury was inevitable, but the value gained from the injury was a choice he could make.
The servant realized the situation was not good and did not pursue further. He was already doomed to be unable to escape. His main objective was to stall Mu Zibai, preventing him from catching up to the Crown Prince.
Mu Zibai's action suggested he had a backup plan.
As expected, when Mu Zibai pulled out a talisman, the servant was greatly alarmed.
"Explosion Talisman!"
The servant's face turned ashen. He never expected Mu Zibai to produce an Explosion Talisman at this moment. The Explosion Talisman had immense power and a wide blast radius.
In this situation, he would basically take the full damage of the Explosion Talisman, likely resulting in death or severe injury. But Mu Zibai wouldn't fare much better; he would probably be injured too.
Was he risking his life?
The servant wanted to escape, but Mu Zibai had already activated the Explosion Talisman and was tightly gripping his claw, unable to break free.
What's the most tragic thing when someone is about to detonate an Explosion Talisman? It's when that person is very close to you and holding your hand!
As the red light flashed within the Explosion Talisman, the servant attacked Mu Zibai with his other hand, intending to blast Mu Zibai away with sheer force.
At this very moment, Mu Zibai let go. He threw the Explosion Talisman in his hand towards the servant. The servant struck Mu Zibai's chest with his palm, pushing Mu Zibai away.
"What the hell?"
The servant was stunned. However, at that moment, the Explosion Talisman detonated, and flames instantly engulfed the servant. Mu Zibai was thrown back by the shockwave.
Mu Zibai decisively pulled out a blue talisman, a Swiftness Talisman, which could increase speed. He didn't care about the servant's fate. Even if he survived, he would be incapacitated and unable to escape.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, although he had escaped the center of the explosion, he was still affected, his internal organs churning.
He took out another Qi and Blood Pill and a Qi Replenishing Pill, swallowing both together. The effects were remarkable. The quality of the pills provided by the System was unquestionable.
The Dragon Person Crown Prince heard the commotion behind him and looked back, seeing the explosion. Knowing that the servant was likely not going to make it, it didn't dare to linger any longer. It was nearing the sea, and once in the water, it would have a path to survival.
Suddenly, it sensed a dangerous aura from behind and dodged instinctively. As expected, it was Mu Zibai in pursuit. The Dragon Person Crown Prince frowned, wondering how Mu Zibai could possibly catch up.
"Swiftness Talisman?" The Dragon Person Crown Prince's brow furrowed. It guessed this was the only possibility.
"You can't escape," Mu Zibai said with a smile, feigning thought. "Let me think. Crown Prince of the Dragon People, your status must be quite high. What were you sneakily doing here? Is this considered a great service on my part?"
"Your Swiftness Talisman is almost depleted. You can't keep me."
The Dragon Person Crown Prince stopped wasting words and ran straight towards the sea. Mu Zibai decisively pursued, constantly looking for opportunities to impede the Dragon Person Crown Prince behind him.
To hinder the Dragon Person Crown Prince's escape, he completely ignored Mu Zibai, having only one goal: to get away!
He knew that if he kept running, he might still have a chance to escape. However, if he stopped even for a moment, he would have no chance at all.
Seeing the Dragon Person Crown Prince fleeing desperately, Mu Zibai thought, This guy is still a bit of a handful.
But Mu Zibai wasn't worried at all. Wenren Qingyi should have already notified Tianling Temple, and masters would be coming out soon.
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you running so fast? If you keep running, how will I get to pull out your Dragon Sinew to make a belt?" Mu Zibai said with a smile.
"You bastard, don't let me catch you, or I'll definitely skin you alive and pull out your sinews!" the Dragon Person Crown Prince said through gritted teeth, his speed not slowing down at all. In fact, he was running even more desperately than before.
"By the way, what's your name? Are you surnamed Ao?" Mu Zibai recalled that most Dragon People were surnamed Ao.
The Dragon Person Crown Prince ignored Mu Zibai.
Seeing the beach just within reach, if he continued chasing like this, the Swiftness Talisman's duration would expire. Seizing the moment, he threw the dagger in his hand, which pierced the Dragon Person Crown Prince's ankle.
Its movement was strange, and Mu Zibai had looked for a long time for an opportunity to strike successfully.
