The true dragon was brimming with majesty as he shouted through the laws.
"Would you stand in the way of our Dragon Clan?"
Just then, the system's voice rang out.
"Please choose." "One: save the qilin, offend the Dragon Clan, let it recuperate in your Dao grounds for a thousand years, and teach it the Dharma Heaven and Earth divine ability." "Two: remain indifferent and let the Dragon Clan slay it, gaining the Dragon Clan's attention." "Three: drive away the giant dragon and torment the qilin, obtaining its race's wind-controlling divine ability."
After a brief moment of thought, Mu Chen.
Decisively shook his head.
"Do as you please. I really... don't know it!"
Despair immediately appeared on the gravely wounded qilin's face.
But Mu Chen did not care in the slightest.
Save it, my ass.
I'm no saint.
I'm just trash with a combat power of five!
If I offend the already badass Dragon Clan during the First Dragon-Han Tribulation, won't I be dead beyond dead?
Who would have thought.
The very next moment.
"Ding, saving the qilin grants merit and can reward you with a thousandfold cultivation speed and a High-Level Breathing Technique."
Mu Chen's expression turned extremely strange.
Right away...
The temptation is too great!
Is this system deliberately slapping me in the face?
Am I really so quick to go back on my word? Does my word really count for so little? Must it force me to offend the Dragon Clan?
The next moment, he secretly thought about the rewards again.
This...
Fine, saving one life surpasses building a seven-story pagoda.
Since fate has brought this fellow of the qilin race before me, I ought to make at least a token effort.
As for the Dragon Clan... what the hell is there to fear!
If they don't like it, bring it on.
I'm not going anywhere anyway.
"Wait!"
Mu Chen instantly stopped the true dragon, who was just about to strike.
"What do you want now?" The true dragon frowned.
Mu Chen gave two dry coughs.
"I counted on my fingers and divined that this qilin is fated with me. Leave at once, and I can refrain from bullying you."
Boom!
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled across the sky.
The hundred-thousand-foot true dragon roared furiously.
"How dare you! You repeatedly toy with our Dragon Clan. You're courting death!"
As things stood, the Dragon Clan was the protagonist of heaven and earth.
It was only because of the war that they showed some restraint toward those whose backgrounds they did not know.
And Mu Chen's act of going back on his word at this moment enraged him.
In an instant, countless bolts of heavenly lightning smashed down toward Mu Chen's head.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Without exception.
They were all absorbed by the sea of clouds overhead.
"What?"
The true dragon was shocked.
This True God Lightning Control Method could destroy all things in heaven and earth.
Yet it could not even break through this fellow's defenses?
Mu Chen clasped his hands behind his back and spoke with a deliberately mysterious expression.
"Little worm, leave at once. This venerable one has not killed for hundreds of millions upon billions of years."
"Those crude little lightning bolts of yours can't even singe a hair on me."
The true dragon was furious beyond measure.
He circled and roared incessantly in the sky.
"Fine! Fine! Fine! You dare rely on a formation to provoke me? Just you wait."
"I'll summon an elder of my race here right now. Don't run if you've got the guts!"
Mu Chen froze.
Then his expression instantly began to fluctuate.
Immediately afterward, he flashed a brilliant smile and beckoned.
"Don't be like that, little brother. Come, come down. We can talk this over."
"I'm very sorry for offending you, too. Come down, and let's discuss this properly."
With that.
The sea of clouds slowly parted.
Mu Chen stood outside the pool, looking as though he would let anyone slaughter him.
The true dragon's eyes lit up.
He immediately floated down smugly.
Hmph.
Just as expected.
No matter how formidable someone is, they still become this frightened upon hearing the Dragon Clan's name.
Yet what he had completely failed to anticipate was.
In the days to come, he would surely regret this realization beyond measure.
When he saw this stupid dragon float inside the Cloud Sea Grand Formation.
Mu Chen smiled.
Now it was his turn to be badass.
"What was your name again?"
The true dragon said proudly.
"My name is Ao Tian!
"Kneel and admit your mistake at once, and hand over that qilin. Then I can spare your life."
The amusement in Mu Chen's eyes deepened.
He rolled up both sleeves.
Ao Tian froze.
"What are you doing?"
"Beating your ass, of course!"
With that.
Mu Chen delivered a vicious slap.
It had merely been an utterly ordinary slap.
Yet a bizarre sight unfolded.
Ao Tian's incomparably towering dragon body was actually sent flying in an instant by that slap.
