Upon hearing this voice, the expressions on their faces changed instantly. Xiao Wu and Bai Ling'er were overjoyed, while the Fire Dragon King looked grave.
This voice undoubtedly belonged to Qi Ling. After all, Qi Ling was the only person currently in the Dragon Tomb, and the fact that he could utter such a dragon roar that made even the Dragon Clan tremble undoubtedly meant that he had completed the Dragon God's succession ceremony.
"This is impossible! How could a human gain the Dragon God's approval! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Bakal said, about to rush into the Dragon Tomb again.
This time, however, before he could act, the Dragon Tomb had already changed on its own, and a Divine Dragon soared out of the Dragon Tomb and appeared before everyone.
Completely different from Bakal and Bai Ling'er, Qi Ling, who has now transformed into Divine Dragon, takes the form of a traditional Chinese dragon, with a long and majestic body.
After flying out of the Dragon Tomb, Qi Ling slowly landed on the ground, supporting himself with his strong limbs, and immediately saw Xiao Wu on the ground.
" Xiao Wu, are you injured?" The huge dragon head lowered in front of Xiao Wu. Although the Divine Dragon's form was full of endless majesty, Xiao Wu felt no fear, only a sense of security and peace of mind.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury! Brother Qi, you're so handsome!" Xiao Wu looked at Qi Ling and couldn't help but say, "This is the first time I've ever seen a dragon like this!"
"I'll let you see as much as you want when I have time," Qi Ling said. "But right now, I need to get justice for my sister first."
Then, Qi Ling looked up at the Fire Dragon King Bakal in the sky, and Bakal found that under Qi Ling's gaze, he could not muster any resistance at all, as if he were facing a born king, and all he felt was endless fear.
"I, I'm not afraid of you! I'm not afraid of you!" Bakal shouted, trying to dispel his fear. "Come on then, if you dare, I'll show you who the true king of the Dragon Clan is!"
"Then I'll show you," Qi Ling said as she flew towards Bakal. "You'll never forget it."
Facing Qi Ling flying towards him, Bakal opened his mouth and spat out a huge fireball, which flew straight towards Qi Ling. Qi Ling did not dodge or avoid it, but crashed directly into the fireball.
Before Bakal could rejoice, Qi Ling had already passed through the fireball and appeared unharmed. The powerful fireball was blocked by him as if it were nothing.
Then, Qi Ling, who had come to Bakal, stretched out his thick, sharp claws to grab him. The Dragon Clan's solid scales were like paper under Qi Ling's claws, and blood gushed out immediately.
After Qi Ling ripped a chunk of flesh from him, Bakal let out a painful scream, and then immediately tried to retaliate by stretching out his claws to grab at Qi Ling Qi Ling.
But when Bakal's minions grabbed the golden dragon scales on Qi Ling's body, they found that they could not harm Qi Ling at all. They simply scraped off his scales, showing that the difference between the two was astonishing.
At that moment, Qi Ling flew past it and slapped it on the head with its tail, knocking out half of its teeth and causing it to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Barely maintaining a sliver of consciousness and not yet unconscious, Bakal immediately launched a counterattack Qi Ling Qi Ling, unleashing a barrage of powerful fire attacks: Flame Tornado, fireballs, fire blades, and a variety of other devastating flame strikes.
Despite these attacks, Qi Ling remained completely unaffected. Instead, after spinning around, she opened her mouth and bit Bakal, tearing another piece of flesh from his body!
Under Qi Ling's attack, Bakal was like a lamb to the slaughter, or fish on a dinner table. His once proud dragon scales and body were bitten off piece by piece by Qi Ling, as if Qi Ling intended to devour him completely!
To avenge Xiao Wu, Qi Ling chose the most cruel and bloodthirsty method of attack! Normally, as a Divine Dragon, he would disdain such a method, but how else could Qi Ling vent his anger?
Under such attacks, Bakal quickly lost the ability to breathe fire, looking like a large fish thrown into a pool of piranhas, a truly pitiful sight.
Knowing that he would surely die if things continued this way, Bakal immediately reverted to human form and fled towards the ground.
Seeing Bakal escape, Qi Ling reverted to her human form, the Xuanyuan Sword appearing in her hand, and thrust it towards Bakal.
"My lord, please wait!" Just as Qi Ling's sword reached Bakal's chest, Bai Ling'er suddenly spoke up, stopping Qi Ling.
Qi Ling was actually prepared for Bai Ling'er to stop him, after all, they had been friends for two hundred thousand years. If Bai Ling'er really just watched him kill Bakal, Qi Ling would be surprised.
" Ling'er, you want to protect him?" Qi Ling asked Lingling, "Even if it means defying my orders?"
"I..." Bai Ling'er hesitated, " Ling'er dares not, but Bakal, as the Fire Dragon King, is the patriarch of the Fire Dragon clan. If I kill him, it might be detrimental to the unification of the Dragon Clan."
"Hmm, that makes sense," Qi Ling said with a smile. "Then, does it have anything to do with you? Do you want me to kill him?"
Bai Ling'er looked at Qi Ling's expression, unsure of his meaning. Qi Ling then said, "Don't worry, I'm not that petty. Just say it."
"... I don't want to," Bai Ling'er said honestly. " Bakal has been very good to me for two hundred thousand years, and I've treated him like a brother. So, I don't want him to die..."
"But, my lord, I have feelings for you..."
"Sigh, I've already told you, I'm not that petty," Qi Ling said, slashing her sword across Bakal's forehead, "But you hurt my sister, so you really can't go unpunished."
" Bakal, the cross on your forehead is my punishment for you. This scar will stay with you for all eternity. Do you understand?"
Looking into Qi Ling's eyes, Bakal understood that Qi Ling was giving him a chance. If he was willing to submit, Qi Ling would give him a chance to live; otherwise, no one would want their enemy to live peacefully.
Bakal could feel the cross on his forehead. It was indeed just an ordinary scar, but if he surrendered now, this scar would become a symbol of his loyalty, forever remaining on his forehead!
This is a unique ability of the Dragon Clan. As the noblest race that values dignity the most, the Dragon Clan does not tolerate lies!
"I, I..." Bakal hesitated for a long time before lowering his head and saying, "I am willing to accept this punishment!"
"Very well, I hope you remember what you said today and don't disappoint me." Qi Ling slowly sheathed the Xuanyuan Sword in her hand. "If your actions today are not punished, it will not appease the people's hearts!"
"Perfect timing. This Dragon Tomb is still lacking a guardian. As the most important sacred place for the Dragon Clan, how can it not be well protected?" Qi Ling said. " Bakal, I want you to guard this Dragon Tomb for 100,000 years! Are you willing?"
"One hundred thousand years?" Upon hearing this timeframe, Bai Ling'er and Xiao Wu were both shocked. Even for the long-lived Dragon Clan, one hundred thousand years was an extremely long period of time!
Bakal knelt on one knee before Qi Ling and said sincerely, " Bakal obeys! I will guard the Dragon Tomb for ten thousand years to atone for my sins today."
