Liu Erlong: Why Should I Be Dragged Into This? Shrek, Yu Xiaogang Gasped Like a Bull: Let Erlong Go!

At the sight of that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, Liu Erlong's breath caught.

"Hundred... Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?

You're Dugu Bo's second younger brother, Dugu Xuan?

You're still alive, and you even broke through?"

Liu Erlong cried out.

Golden Crocodile Douluo gave a cold snort.

Though he didn't release his Soul Rings, the Soul Power pressure of a Limit Douluo had only to leak out slightly to freeze the air within a hundred meters.

"Little girl, enough nonsense.

Ce'er needs to borrow some of your 'Scarlet Fire Dragon Blood.' Will you obediently come with us, or do I have to take you by force?"

Liu Erlong's face went deathly pale. She instinctively took a step back, then looked at Dugu Ce.

"Ce'er, what do you mean?

I'm your father's—"

"My father is dead. He died because your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect ostracized and hunted him down."

Dugu Ce cut Liu Erlong off, his voice cold.

"Erlong Aunt, your mutated Fire Dragon bloodline is the best 'catalyst' for balancing the ice and fire poison in my body.

For the sake of my future, I'll have to ask you to suffer a little."

Dugu Ce turned to look at Dugu Bo.

"Granduncle, do it.

Don't kill her. We need a living 'medicinal catalyst.'"

Dugu Bo gave a sinister grin. Green poison mist instantly sealed off every escape route around Liu Erlong.

"Liu Erlong, blame your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for this.

I'll collect a little interest from you first!

But don't worry. Your father has reached an agreement with us.

As long as you cooperate, once we kill Yu Yuanzhen and avenge my nephew, your father will take charge of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."

"An agreement?"

Liu Erlong laughed in furious disbelief, her eyes reddening. Her voice brimmed with desolation and scorn.

"Yu Luomian actually agreed to this?

For the position of sect master, he'd sell even his own daughter?"

Liu Erlong glared at Dugu Bo, Soul Power surging around her as scarlet flames warped the air.

"I've never taken a single thing from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect in my life. Because of this surname, I was even robbed of my right to pursue happiness!

Back then, he used our blood ties as an excuse to tear Xiaogang and me apart, leaving me to bear more than twenty years of slander and loneliness.

And now, he wants to trade my life for his power?"

"Absurd!

Utterly absurd!"

Dugu Ce looked at Liu Erlong, who was on the verge of breaking down, his expression still cold.

"Erlong Aunt, in this world, weakness is the original sin.

The 'family ties' and 'love' you speak of aren't worth as much as fallen leaves in these hills when weighed against absolute self-interest."

"Ce'er, you've changed... You've grown even colder than your father."

Liu Erlong gave a bitter smile.

"You know I'm a victim too. You know I hate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!"

"Good."

Dugu Ce stepped forward, his body wreathed in an aura where pale golden light mingled with green poison mist.

"Since you hate that clan, then use your blood to help me destroy it.

And as for this 'aunt and nephew' relationship you keep talking about, I don't recognize it.

From the day my father died, there's been nothing between my family and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan but hatred."

Dugu Bo sneered repeatedly from the side.

"Liu Erlong, quit wallowing in self-pity.

That old bastard Yu Luomian is much smarter than you.

He knows that once Yu Yuanzhen is dead, cooperating with us is the only way to stay alive and claim the position he's dreamed of.

As for you, paving the way for my grandson's future is your good fortune."

"Good fortune?

Hahahaha!"

Liu Erlong threw her head back and laughed. Her Fire Dragon Martial Soul instantly possessed her, and raging flames swept through the area.

"I don't want this kind of good fortune!

You want my blood?

Then come and take it—if you can!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo furrowed his brows and casually swept out a hand. A golden pressure, as heavy as a mountain, instantly snuffed out Liu Erlong's flames.

"Silence.

You're nothing but a Soul Saint, yet you dare to use force in front of me?"

Crushed by the pressure, Liu Erlong dropped to one knee as the ground beneath her shattered. She gritted her teeth and looked up at Dugu Ce.

"Dugu Ce, if you're really so capable, go kill Yu Yuanzhen and the people who drove your parents to their deaths!

Picking on me, a discarded pawn—what kind of genius does that make you?"

"I've never claimed to be a righteous gentleman. I only care about the result."

Dugu Ce walked up to Liu Erlong and looked down at her.

Dugu Xuan flashed into motion, and the Nine Nether poison light instantly turned into ropes, completely sealing Liu Erlong.

"Ce'er, this girl has quite a temper. The fire poison in her bloodline is certainly potent.

Once we've wiped out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, if Yu Luomian behaves, we can spare her life."

Blue Tyrant Academy, on the tree-lined path leading to the rear hills.

The teacher guiding them spoke respectfully to Flender and Yu Xiaogang.

"The dean usually prefers peace and quiet. She's in the bamboo grove up ahead.

But her temper can be a little fiery, so when you meet her, please—"

"BOOM—!"

A thunderous crash rang out from deep in the rear hills. The violent surge of Soul Power shook the leaves throughout the forest.

"Something's wrong!

That's the dean's Fire Dragon aura!"

The guiding teacher's face turned deathly pale.

"Someone's fighting in the rear hills!"

The teasing smile on Flender's face instantly stiffened, and his eyes gleamed.

"What terrifying pressure!

Xiaogang, Erlong's in danger!

Quick!"

Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power was weak, but at the sound of "Erlong," his heart clenched.

Without a second thought, he broke into a run toward the rear hills.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the other Shrek students exchanged glances, then hurried after him.

"Someone's coming. They're fast."

Golden Crocodile Douluo stood with his hands behind his back. He didn't even turn around, and his tone remained indifferent.

"A few Soul Saints, and a bunch of brats who aren't even Soul Elders."

A murderous glint flashed through Dugu Bo's green eyes.

"A few Soul Saints?

I suppose that's Flender, that Cat Eagle. As for those two Soul Saints...

Heh, I can smell that nauseating 'waste of a dragon' stench."

"Yu Xiaogang?"

Dugu Ce's eyes shifted slightly.

"Perfect. That saves me the trouble of seeking him out later."

Since he intended to use Liu Erlong to resolve the flaw in his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul,

Liu Erlong was to become his woman, and he naturally wouldn't allow her to remain in contact with Yu Xiaogang.

This was the perfect chance to make Yu Xiaogang give up on Liu Erlong.

As for Liu Erlong's feelings for Yu Xiaogang?

They wouldn't disappear completely in one go.

But that didn't matter. Yu Xiaogang was a good-for-nothing to begin with.

When the opportunity arose, he'd let Liu Erlong slowly see through him.

In moments, the wind howled through the forest.

"Erlong!"

Flender charged into the clearing first. When he saw the scene before him, he came to an abrupt halt, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

Yu Xiaogang rushed in right behind him. The moment he saw Liu Erlong, bound in chains of Nine Nether poison light and pale as a sheet, his eyes nearly split with rage.

"Erlong!

Who are you people?

Let her go!"

Tang San and the other Shrek students arrived, panting. Seeing the scene, they all took up battle stances.
