Chen Qing's uneasy premonition soon came true!!
"Your Highness, Mr. Gu, aren't you going to make a move?"
Chen Baifeng, struggling against the spells of the Second Princess of the East Sea, felt a wave of weakness despite having only recently transformed into a dragon. He roared, "There's a limit to standing by and watching! Do you really think our Chen Household is going to be your cannon fodder forever?"
As soon as the words were spoken, two Ying Yi, one in red and one in black, darted to the side and stared coldly ahead.
The arrival of the two bystanders caused the faces of the Dragon Palace nobles on the other side to darken!
The number of people increased only slightly, but they were strong enough. Although none of them were of the Dragon King Breed, the sense of danger they posed was no less than that of Chen Baifeng, who possessed the bloodline of the East Sea dragon. The woman was a top-tier and precious dragon from the South Sea: Spirit Mayfly, the essence of ten thousand fires, the dragon race's most skilled in fire magic. The South Sea's fire magic was the strongest in the four seas, especially the Spirit Mayfly with its Golden Crow Fire. There were probably only two Spirit Fu in the entire South Sea Dragon Palace.
Then there was the man dressed entirely in black. If I'm not mistaken, that guy had actually Dragon Transformation Zhulong from the Extreme Abyss beneath the East Sea Dragon Palace. The Dragon Palace had spent a great deal of money to seize a sample from the Heavenly Python Palace 100,000 years ago. It took countless manpower and resources to create this Dragon Transformation artifact. Originally, it was intended to be given to the sons of general-level nobles for evolution, but in the past 100,000 years, not a single one had succeeded. After the deaths of hundreds of the Dragon Palace disciples, this thing became a completely forbidden item.
Who would have thought that one day a human would successfully Dragon Transformation!
It's been so long since we've seen the light of day. There are truly outstanding people emerging one after another in this world. As expected, my father was right. The human race has the potential to overturn the ancient times!
"How does Lord Chen intend to order us around?" Xiao Mingyue asked with a charming smile.
Actually, Xiao Mingyue wasn't young; she was over seventy and had countless lovers and was a seasoned woman. No matter how you looked at it, it made Chen Baifeng feel somewhat uncomfortable. However, her noble status, powerful strength, and the youthful appearance and skin of a twenty-year-old girl, coupled with the added boost from the fiery aura of the Spirit Mayfly bloodline, still made Chen Baifeng's heart flutter.
"Your Highness is too kind. How could I dare to order Your Highness around? But we have no choice now. We're all in the same boat. We must work together to overcome this difficulty before we can think about the future."
"As you can see, the most dangerous person right now is still Liu Yu, who is hiding in the shadows!"
" Lord Chen is right." A glint flashed in the princess's eyes, and she smiled, "Please tell me directly, how should we proceed?"
"Your Majesty, I have observed that the enemy has not made any proactive attacks, which is clearly due to insufficient energy. The more this is the case, the weaker their close-combat strength should be. The East Sea Princess, who is proficient in magic, is the main force. I can guarantee that I can restrain the sorcerer who is her master. I request that you two take action!"
Xiao Mingyue looked at Gu Ying, who had remained silent. Gu Ying's expression was still cold, but she simply nodded slightly. "Alright!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Mingyue transformed into a streak of red and rushed over without hesitation. Ziyue, who was behind her, saw this but did not move. Gu Ying turned around and glanced at Ziyue, but did not say anything. Instead, she immediately followed behind Xiao Mingyue.
Gu Ying, a sorcerer by training, displayed exceptional agility, catching up with Xiao Mingyue instantly even after she made her move first!
However, no one present, including Chen Baifeng, was surprised at all.
Although Mr. Gu of the Zhulong is known as one of the Ten Great Court Sorcerers, everyone knows that he is actually an assassin!
Despite possessing the Zhulong Technique, he was inexplicably more adept at treacherous assassination. He had helped the Xiao Household assassinate countless top martial artists, and his reputation was in no way inferior to that vicious old woman from the Lu Household.
Now that Dragon Transformation, its abilities seemed even stronger. Together with the princess, one in black and one in red, they transformed into dazzling light and shadow and quickly rushed into the defensive formation of the Dragon Palace nobles on the other side!
"Court death!"
At the heart of the formation stood a giant four meters tall, covered in dragon scales, with a shark's head and a human body. He possessed the top-tier Dragon Shark bloodline of the Dragon Palace, a top-level guard worthy only of the Dragon King Breed. Seeing that the princess, a mere fragile Mayfly Spirit, dared to charge up for hand-to-hand combat, a sinister smile flashed across his face, and he slashed out with the force of thunder with his black-gold greatsword.
The seemingly heavy sword moved incredibly fast in General Dragon Shark Shark's hands, its shadow becoming a mere line.
However, her attack method was simple and unadorned. Xiao Mingyue saw this and sneered. Instead of retreating, she advanced and moved forward, dodging the first strike with extremely skillful movements. General Dragon Shark Shark's eyes flashed with a strange light when he saw this. Most of those who could come to the Dragon Palace were born sorcerers, and very few human warriors could come. This woman's movements were truly remarkable, probably no less than those of the Third Prince, who was the best at close combat!
But it didn't panic. Instead, it sneered and slashed down with the force of thunder. In an instant, it suddenly turned and slashed upwards in a clever way. This change of move was extremely ingenious and did not match its fierce appearance at all!
The blade's edge moved with incredible speed, heading straight for Xiao Mingyue's lower abdomen, who had dodged it. But Xiao Mingyue seemed to have eyes in her feet, suddenly retreating to avoid the upward slash. Then, with a back-and-forth movement, she was incredibly elusive. Her delicate white hands pushed against the opponent's raised hilt, precisely guiding the upward blade towards her own neck!
This attack came extremely suddenly, and the force of the opponent's attack was terrifying. Moreover, it was extremely clever, turning the force of his original upward slash into her own, and the blade, completely out of his control, slashed into his neck!
Dragon Shark's huge eyes were wide open and bloodshot. It seemed that he was using all his strength in the muscles of his neck to grip the blade tightly, but the sudden change of attack still managed to cut halfway into his neck!
" Tsubame Gaeshi?" The eldest princess sneered, "What an ancient and outdated move! Even those third-rate swordsmen on the East Sea Island rarely use it anymore. Aren't you, the general of the East Sea Dragon Palace, a bit too old-fashioned?"
General Dragon Shark's eyes widened, his face flushed with embarrassment at such mockery, and he wore a ferocious expression as if he wanted to devour someone.
In the later stages, especially in the confrontation with the colossal Heavenly Python Palace, the dragons, who were at a disadvantage in close combat, quickly discovered the advantages of human close-quarters combat, especially the various striking techniques they developed themselves, which were extremely useful. This once elevated the strength of the sea race to a new level, giving them a significant advantage in the battle against the Heavenly Python Serpent Palace!
If the Earth Spirit hadn't dissipated later, the Dragon Palace would have been winning every battle against its arch-rival, the Heavenly Python Palace, and would have almost dominated the world.
Humans are weak, but they are good at studying combat techniques. After the aquatic race became human, although they looked down on it, they secretly learned a lot from it and even privately kept human martial arts masters.
The Tsubame Gaeshi was created by a swordsman from the greatest nation in the Eastern Island back then, and it astonished everyone at the time. But who would have thought that after a period of slumber, it would have become a third-rate move?
The Dragon Shark was already weak and bloodless, and its consciousness weakened even more after its neck was slashed.
In the instant that Xiao Mingyue swiftly subdued the leading Dragon Shark General, Gu Ying darted in with uncanny movements behind her. The Dragon Shark guards beside the princess tensed their muscles and hurriedly helped their princess back, not daring to confront her head-on for a moment.
Because the opponent's movements were too fast and too strange, the group tensed up and used their bodies to surround the Second Princess and the elders, watching with trepidation as the almost invisible black shadow darted around them.
This wall of flesh didn't last long. Gu Ying quickly found a weakness. The gap between the four burly men was anticipated just a few steps in advance. The phrase "seizing the opportunity" was perfectly exemplified at this moment. The Dragon Shark, feeling their defense breached, panicked and their tense muscles instantly relaxed. They hurriedly turned around to try and protect the people inside.
"Fools!" the elder roared, but it was too late. The moment the four turned around, four black ice spikes pierced their throats from behind. In that instant, the four powerful Dragon Shark did not react at all!
"Is this the Dragon Palace's top-tier combat power?"
Gu Ying's voice carried a hint of sarcasm as she approached the East Sea Princess and the elder, whose spiritual power was being suppressed by Chen Baifeng. The two women's faces were ashen; they had never expected that their general-level guards would be defeated in a single move by this human.
Only then did the second princess recall her father's words.
I asked myself this question before: the success rate of human beings Dragon Transformation is much higher than that of other aquatic races, so why isn't it made more widespread?
Hearing this, the king chuckled and scratched his head, "Open up to the public on a large scale? Then the Dragon Palace... it's probably long gone!"
I was very surprised at the time and didn't understand why my father would say that.
But she never dared to forget her father's answer at that time.
Don't underestimate the human race.
They were only born weak, but the wisdom, perseverance, and even the combat skills they honed were comparable to those of ancient forces!
Humans are usable, but they must be constantly suppressed. If they gain power, their terror will far exceed your imagination.
Father didn't overestimate it!
Many of these haven't appeared for millions of years. Imagine if the Earth Spirit were to revive and allow humanity to grow unchecked—what a terrifying scenario that would be!
Fortunately, heaven did not protect humanity!
The second princess and the elder exchanged a glance, gave a bitter laugh, and without hesitation, pierced their own hearts with their hands!
This scene Ying Yi, who was about to subdue the two, and Xiao Mingyue and Chen Baifeng behind her were also stunned. The next second, an extremely strong sense of unease suddenly surged into their hearts.
Meanwhile, the floating Dragon King stared blankly down below, a single tear rolling down his cheek.
Seeing this from a distance, Chen Qing immediately understood what was going on.
"I see."
He finally realized where his unease had come from!
Looking at the smiling Liu Yu beside him, Chen Qing said, "You actually dared to use the essence blood of the Outer Heaven Demon Statue!!"
