Chapter 375: 377 Soul Contract Broken
Its feathers, reflecting a more intense blue gleam under the sunlight, captivated the people who looked up at this sacred creature. However, they suddenly found that the boundless skies inexplicably darkened.
Whether in the distant clouds or the near sky, the rays that illuminated the world brightly seemed to have been absorbed by the feathers of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.
An overcast shadow cast over everything, leaving only the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon radiating its unique blue light, from a gentle gleam to a fiercely burning brilliance!
Suspended in the sky, it resembled a scorching sun in the azure firmament!!
Rays of sword light pierced down, their scorching heat matched by their sharpness akin to that of a sharp sword.
In the skies above the great arena, it seemed as if this blazing sun tore and divided the space, and the Yellow Sand Devil Dragon below, looking at this spectacle, was in a panicked scramble to flee into the dunes.
The brilliance grew ever more intense, its heat already baking the earth, causing the flora to seem as if it would melt!!
Burrowing into the dunes, the Yellow Sand Devil Dragon vainly thought to use the sand to block the penetrative brilliance but “Sun Scorches Soul”, nothing could escape.
Soon, intense light like swords of sunlight pierced deeply into the sand, and the Yellow Sand Devil Dragon’s blocky tough skin began to melt, emanating a strong scent of burning.
“Whoosh!!!!!!!!!”
The Violent Blood Shark Dragon stirred up massive waves, hoping that the seawater could block the rays of light.
But the omnipresent blue light, like a sword, focused on one point. It could penetrate even thousands of meters deep, let alone a thin layer of waves.
Concentrated piercing light, unstoppable, the Azure Phoenix Holy Dragon now was like a sun shining in the sky, dominating the sunlight on which all beings depend for life and simultaneously wielding the power over life and death!!
“Moo!!!!!!!!”
The Yellow Sand Devil Dragon let out a scream of agony. It dug out from the sand, its body melded into a bloody blur, and holes began to form in many parts of its body with scorch marks!
It rolled on the ground, clueless about how to evade such an attack, only able to inch towards death amid such fiery pain!
Fear and astonishment were written all over Zeng Liang’s face!
In front of this Azure Phoenix Holy Dragon, his own Yellow Sand Devil Dragon was but a mere summer insect, with no say over its life or death.
Yet the Azure Phoenix Holy Dragon, which he considered a Hybrid Dragon, towered above, its scattering flame radiance comparable to the sun and moon of the sky.
Absolute dominance!!
His Yellow Sand Devil Dragon was being suppressed by a growing Holy Dragon to the point where it could barely breathe and had to pathetically curl up on the sand, waiting for death!
“Withdraw your dragon, what are you gaping at, idiot!!” Sun Chong suddenly shouted at that moment.
That shout brought Zeng Liang back to his senses.
He hurriedly opened the Spiritual Realm Symbol, and in his panic, he nearly made a grave mistake.
“Stop, quickly tell your student to stop,” Sun Chong, seeing Zeng Liang’s slow action, immediately bellowed at Duan Changqing.
Duan Changqing remained unmoved.
Zhu Minglang would not show mercy either.
Had they not ordered to stop the fight themselves?
But how had they treated Fei Song??
“Now open your Spirit Realm, or the ‘Sun’s Brilliance’ will scorch your soul as well. You’d better think carefully about whether you want to save your Yellow Sand Devil Dragon,” Zhu Minglang said indifferently.
The Spiritual Realm Symbol was a gate to the Soul Realm. If a Dragon Beast entered the Spirit Realm to hide from a forceful impact, it undoubtedly directed that energy straight into the Dragon Trainer’s own soul, causing damage not unlike a Soul Contract Broken, with the Dragon Beast dead.
Zeng Liang was completely disoriented.
He himself didn’t know what to do.
He didn’t want the Yellow Sand Devil Dragon to die, but even more so, he didn’t want his own soul to be injured.
If a dragon died, he still had another one. At the very least, he was still a Dragon Master at the Dragon Lord Level, and there was still hope for further advancement in the future. However, once his soul sustained a strong shock, it might be impossible for him to reach the Monarch Level in his lifetime.
In his frantic fear, he still managed to retain a sliver of rationality.
Finally, he withdrew his Spiritual Realm Symbol.
He had no choice but to abandon the Yellow Sand Devil Dragon.
Not wanting to be harmed any further, he activated another symbol, this time to retrieve the Violent Blood Shark Dragon back into his Spirit Realm.
Beneath the scorching sun, the skinless Yellow Sand Devil Dragon lay curled up on the sand, its flesh and blood melting into a puddle, spreading out like thick glue…
In the midst of unbearable agony, the Yellow Sand Devil Dragon opened its eyes. Initially, there was a glimmer of hope in its eyes when it saw the symbol, but when it realized the symbol was retrieving the Violent Blood Shark Dragon instead, that faint glimmer of hope for survival vanished, and it could only lie there like a dying old ox, allowing its mutilated body to be exposed to the deadly brilliance of death.
“Qing Zhuo, stop.”
Suddenly, Zhu Minglang calmly said to the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.
The glare immediately disappeared as the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon fluttered its magnificent and noble wings and descended gracefully from the high sky, its lofty azure eyes gazing at the severely injured Yellow Sand Devil Dragon.
“Why stop? Let it die, we must avenge Fei Song!” Chen Bai said, somewhat puzzled.
Zhu Minglang did not answer.
He walked over to the Yellow Sand Devil Dragon and looked at the Dragon Lord who was no longer resisting.
The Yellow Sand Devil Dragon lay motionless. Its eyes were not even open, but its body was slightly heaving, showing that it still had relatively steady breathing.
Clearly, the Yellow Sand Devil Dragon was not dead.
But its spirit was crushed.
“A person like this isn’t worth dying for,” Zhu Minglang said as he took out a vial of the Immortal Rabbit Dragon’s saliva from his bosom.
The Immortal Rabbit Dragon’s saliva was an excellent medicine for healing external wounds. Zhu Minglang poured it onto the Yellow Sand Devil Dragon’s fully melted skin, alleviating its pain and helping to regenerate its body’s envelope.
Bathed in the medicinal liquid, the Yellow Sand Devil Dragon slowly picked itself up.
Its skeleton and internal organs were still intact; it needed just a little more time, and the Sun’s Brilliance would have punctured through its body. But Zhu Minglang stopped.
The Yellow Sand Devil Dragon, like an old ox, stood up and dragged its blood-covered body toward the edge of the arena.
Zeng Liang was stunned and hastily ordered the Yellow Sand Devil Dragon to come back.
But the Yellow Sand Devil Dragon completely ignored him. As it moved farther away, the soul connection between it and Zeng Liang began to tear apart bit by bit.
Zeng Liang’s face immediately turned unsightly. He clutched his chest, his breathing becoming difficult, as if enduring heart-wrenching pain, causing cold sweat to break out all over his body!
Soul Contract Broken!
In the face of extreme disappointment, a dragon beast may break away from the Dragon Trainer.
While not as dire as betrayal, which can lead to the master being killed, such soul contract disjunction can still cause irreversible damage!
“If you had insisted on keeping the Spirit Realm Map open for it, giving it a chance to live, I would have stopped too. Unfortunately, you only had eyes for yourself,” Zhu Minglang said indifferently.
Zeng Liang watched his dragon walk away…
This feeling was even more painful than having his dragon killed.
Most importantly, among the many students, disciples, and teachers present, not a single one showed a shred of sympathy for Zeng Liang.
He deserved it!
With such poor character, he also possessed the lowest of all virtues as a Dragon Trainer!
