Chapter 333: 335: Have You Tamed It?
The one supporting him was none other than the woman with the bushy eyebrows, Fan Lu.
Her expression was numb, as if she too feared the impending death.
“Cough cough… Take care, everyone. I, Tu Wenhe, am powerless to help. If by some chance anyone survives…” The continually coughing and bleeding Tu Wenhe spoke from atop the Ancient Bronze Dragon, his complexion pale as a sheet, terrifyingly so, as if he might die at any moment.
Orderer Changhong was already dead.
No one knew where his remains were, and it seemed nobody cared about the life or death of this greedy man.
“Little Shishu, Little Shishu!” Hao Ye ran over here with others.
Li Xinghua, Nan Lingsha, Fang Niannian, Zhi Rou, the Hu Family siblings, and the members of the Copper Knife Army, as well as the numerous subordinates of the Azure Wolf Cavalry, were all converging here at this moment.
Previously, the meteoric fire fell from the sky, and by supporting each other, they had managed to survive, not like the wild beasts in the forest that were eradicated by the heavenly fire.
But the meteoric fire wasn’t aimed at them in the first place. They could avoid the fire from the sky, but not the heavenly sign from the Tea-colored Ground. That Dragon King, who had just completed its Ascending Tribulation, would soon purge this place in blood!
Some weeping could be heard from the crowd, probably from the people of the Copper Knife Army and the Azure Wolf Cavalry.
They were actually native residents of Runyu City, like tenacious grass that grew persistently in this storm-tossed city.
Who could have imagined that what would extinguish Runyu City was not the overwhelming power of some nation, but an irresistible heavenly sign.
“Young Master, we could hide in the ruins, perhaps…” Li Xinghua said.
Zhu Minglang shook his head and was about to speak when suddenly, a shrill scream of panic rose from the crowd. The people of Runyu City, who had intended to cluster for warmth, now scattered in every direction like mad!
“Indeed, it’s meaningless,” Li Xinghua said with a bleak smile, showing her acceptance of life and death.
Above them, the successful tribulation-crosser, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, plunged straight down.
Regenerated bones and blood, reborn splendid Scale Feathers, and the extremely noble Dragon King’s dark crystal desolate horns. Compared with the Fiend Star Dragon that once ravaged Runyu City, the current Heavenly Slaughter Dark Star Dragon was more majestic and domineering, truly embodying the aura of a superior being. It could look down upon everything, be it a massive army or a deeply rooted power, all would bow before the Dragon King’s might!
The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon landed before everyone, its wings gathering on both sides like dark starry sword shields. It had no limbs; its body was serpentine and bewitching, but that did not diminish its strength and nobility.
It gazed upon everyone, its cold breath like the God of Death standing behind each person. The meaning of life was to be reaped, whether one was timid or fearless, all would become toys for the God of Death!
“Hea… Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, the Dragon King!” Orderer Yan Guang trembled violently all over. The woman supporting him, Fan Lu, felt as if she was propping up a pile of mud that could collapse at any moment.
Yan Guang was the headmaster of the Godly Mortal Academy.
He was also the Orderer of this region.
One could say one of the strongest people in the Tea-colored Ground.
But in the presence of this Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, it was as if his soul had scattered, leaving behind only a body already paralyzed.
And Tu Wenhe, the King of Slaughter Country, the Hunter, at this moment, looked ashen.
He knew he couldn’t escape. He couldn’t even fight for his life now. He and his Ancient Bronze Dragon were out of strength.
Is this what a King-level being is like?
Even the thought of resistance couldn’t arise, as the instinctive desire to win completely vanished. The mightiest of cultivators were reduced to livestock, awaiting the slaughter, a pitiful sight to behold.
“Everyone, relax a little…” Zhu Minglang saw the situation and realized that the crowd was unaware of the Spirit Contract, so he hurriedly spoke to tell everyone.
“You useless fool, weren’t you capable, brandishing your sword to slay dragons? Why didn’t you stop it? Why did you let it ascend to become the Dragon King? You rushed in like some savior, flaunting those fancy sword techniques, but in the end, you were still defeated. How can you still have the face to tell us to relax? DIE!” At this moment, General Sutai of the hundred-thousand-strong Copper Knife Army roared in anger.
He unleashed his emotions recklessly, as if the failure to stop the disaster was entirely Zhu Minglang’s fault.
“Yes, we all pinned our hopes on you. Why didn’t you stop it? You let it become the Dragon King, the God of Death for all of us. It’s going to kill us all; I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!” Someone from the Godly Mortal Academy also jumped out to blame Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Minglang touched his head; this classmate from the Godly Mortal Academy was pretty accurate. Indeed, he was the one who allowed the Fiend Star Dragon to become the Dragon King.
“Ladies and gentlemen, today I, Zhu Minglang, am pleased to acquire a Dragon King. I wonder if anyone has any good suggestions to help me give this Heavenly Slaughter Dragon a name that would strike terror into our enemies at its mere mention. I’m really quite terrible at this,” Zhu Minglang said.
“Little Martial Uncle, what are you thinking about naming the dragon at a time like this? Little Martial Uncle’s indifference in the face of life and death is truly worthy of our…” The somewhat slow-witted Hao Ye began, but then suddenly realized something was amiss. He hurriedly glanced at the imposing Heavenly Slaughter Dragon and then back at Zhu Minglang.
That Heavenly Slaughter Dragon stood right behind Zhu Minglang.
It truly resembled the God of Death, but why had it not struck down its lethal blow??
“Little Martial Uncle, what did you just say? You acquired a Dragon King??” Hao Ye asked, dumbfounded.
“Yes, I helped it with its Ascending Tribulation, and it signed a Spirit Contract with me. Now, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon is my fifth dragon pet!” Zhu Minglang spoke with such calmness and composure, yet his heart was in turmoil, especially at seeing the shock on people’s faces!
“You… you’ve tamed it??” Tu Wenhe asked in disbelief.
“Otherwise, by the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon’s speed of slaughter, everyone here would already be a pile of bones,” Zhu Minglang said.
“Is it true?” Nan Lingsha looked at Zhu Minglang and asked sincerely.
“Of course,” Zhu Minglang laughed.
“President, president, are you alright??” Fan Lu shouted in alarm, but no matter how hard he tried to help Yan Guang up, Yan Guang eventually collapsed like a puddle of mud!
Orderer Yan Guang appeared to have completely stopped breathing!
He, too, only felt fear and insignificance in the face of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon’s descent, but he didn’t suddenly die like this until the news that Zhu Minglang had tamed the Dragon King, something more unbearable than the Fiend Star Dragon’s successful Ascending Tribulation!
Tu Wenhe’s expression wasn’t much better.
Indeed, this was even more intolerable than being killed by the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon!
The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon had become Zhu Minglang’s dragon. This essentially meant that the one who had successfully ascended in the Tribulation was Zhu Minglang!
Zhu Minglang had become a King-level Dragon Shepherd, far surpassing him, the so-called Hunter!
As for those like General Sutai who had just been insulting Zhu Minglang as a fool, they were now dumbstruck, wishing they could bite their tongues and die on the spot…
They had just been insulting a Dragon Shepherd who possessed a Dragon King!
They might have had a sliver of hope before, but now they were thoroughly hopeless!
Why did things turn out this way!!
Why did the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon become Zhu Minglang’s dragon!!
