The Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 1904 The Show...

The Sage Monarch said, “That’s right. Otherwise, how could we kill so many people? Furthermore, how would we make mankind and the Holy Spirit Cult trust us without putting on such a display? This is but a show. All the deaths are nothing but the prelude.” action

Bone-piercing coldness arose slowly in Lan Muzi’s chest. It was but a show? Moreover, it was put on not only for them but also for the Holy Spirit Cult.

What was the abyssal plane trying to achieve? This meant so many powerhouses from the abyss were kept in the dark. They were even willing to sacrifice their own.

All of a sudden, an idea emerged in Lan Muzi’s mind. He almost could not control the words that came from his mouth. “Is this related to the Abyssal Sage King?”

The Sage Monarch gave out a giggle. “You’re very smart. Of course, this is the Sage King’s show. The Sage King is not here, but everything that happens here is within the Sage King’s control. It has already been six thousand years since your world has been discovered. For this invasion, we have been preparing for far too long. The Holy Spirit Cult is trying to use us, but how could we not use them just as well? Only the real lord of the plane will understand the mysteries of the plane. It’s funny that the Demon Empress still assumes that she understands everything just because she has achieved God rank. She is but just a pawn in this grand show.”

Lan Muzi was shocked. “So why are you putting on this show then?”

The Sage Monarch rolled its eyes. “You know enough already. Although you’re surely going to die, I won’t let you have any chance to pass the message to the outside using some other method. Thus, that’s all you get to know. Look, more and more of them are dead. All shall die. Isn’t that great?”

The Sage Monarch’s words sounded rather baffling, but Lan Muzi could obviously feel that everything it had said contained a deeper meaning. He just could not comprehend it. What was the meaning behind the Sage Monarch’s revelation?

The people watching the battle on the outside found it extremely strange that their fight suddenly halted. They could see that Lan Muzi seemed to be conversing with the Sage Monarch, yet they could not hear anything.

All of sudden, Lan Muzi suddenly struggled and thrust the Sun Wood Saber once again. The blade turned dark green when he wielded it. Thick life source burst forth and wove itself into countless glowing forms in the sky. Although Lan Muzi had not managed to break free from the control, he had aimed the saber at the opponent.

The Sage Monarch’s silhouette flickered as he transformed himself continuously inside the box. The fine and dense saber’s radiance was incredibly strong, but there was nothing he could do to hit the Sage Monarch. It dodged the attacks agilely like a fish moving through water. Regardless of how hard Lan Muzi tried, none of his attacks landed on the Sage Monarch.

Lan Muzi suddenly stopped attacking and turned around. He made hand gestures to mankind’s legion through the box.

However, he had just begun making the hand gesture when the Sage Monarch raised the staff in his hand. He conjured a vortex-shaped energy construct. It blasted him away, putting a stop to his hand gesture.

Tang Yingmeng was standing with the group from Shrek Academy when this happened. When she saw Lan Muzi was trapped, she clenched her fists tightly. She could tell what her husband was fighting against, of course.

Her eyes were ablaze as she watched the situation inside the box. She was tearing up and her body was shivering ever so slightly. However, she did not utter a single word and she had no intention of charging outside impulsively.

The Jade Snake Zheng Yiran was standing by her side with her hands on Tang Yingmeng’s shoulders. She wanted to give Tang Yingmeng some support, but Tang Yingmeng did not move at all. She was just staring straight at the box where Lan Muzi was at with a deathly gaze.

After being blasted away, Lan Muzi swung the Sun Wood Saber once again. He unleashed all sorts of formidable attacks such as the Triple-layered Sun Pass and the Six Nine Hundred Six continuously in an attempt to struggle free from the Sage Monarch’s control. He pushed the opponent back and then he tried to make a hand gesture to the outside. Every time he attempted to do this, he would be blasted away by the Sage Monarch’s vortex energy, so he could not complete even one hand gesture.

Anyone could tell that the Sage Monarch had full control over this battle. Lan Muzi did not stand a chance to win. Everyone was also confused as to why the Sage Monarch had yet to defeat Lan Muzi.

Meanwhile, the other battles were at their climax.

In the battle between Qiangu Dieting and the Underworld Emperor, both sides were equally matched. If one were to say that the Underworld Emperor had an edge at the beginning, the broken Underworld King Sword had affected him tremendously. He was fighting against Qiangu Dieting’s Coiling Dragon Staff. Both sides were in an intense battle and they were just about to end up wounding and defeating each other.

Qiangu Dieting’s attacks had unleashed all of his abilities, not holding back at all. He went all out to use every skill and utilized the Combat Heaven and Earth Coiling Dragon Staff technique to perfection. Each attack was done in an almost frenzied state. Though the Underworld Emperor’s Underworld King Sword managed to leave behind many wounds on his body, the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa was lashed by his staff thrice as well. Ha Luosa’s battle armor had shattered, and both of their auras were weakening continuously.

Only one person was meant to leave the Nine Palace Box alive, and Ha Luosa was going all out as well. The Underworld King Sword shot out continuous streams of deathly radiance. Both parties were colliding so ferociously that the Nine Palace Box was shaking violently.

The battle between Qiangu Dongfeng and the Darkness Blood Demon was at a stalemate as well. Qiangu Dongfeng’s will to fight had been far less than Qiangu Dieting. Compared to his father, he treasured his life even more. As it turned out, only one person would survive the Nine Palace Box. As a result, his will to fight was fully triggered. He would die if the Darkness Blood Demon was not killed! How could he not go all out? This had also allowed him to express the unique features of the Coiling Dragon Staff.

At that point, Qiangu Dongfeng’s body was coiled with black energy. It was the Darkness Blood Demon’s Killing Curse and it was gradually weakening him. However, the Darkness Blood Demon was not feeling so well either. Although his fighting capacity was quite impressive, he was not really a close combat-type soul master. He was retreating when he was confronted by the magnificent Coiling Dragon Staff.

“Boom!” Separate Heaven and Earth was unleashed!

The Coiling Dragon Staff smashed down ferociously. The Darkness Blood Demon was blasted back at the sound of the boom and he slammed into the edge of the box. However, he made a few hand gestures at the exact moment he was blasted away. Seven curses landed on Qiangu Dongfeng in succession.

The Darkness Blood Demon’s battle armor had been badly crushed. Qiangu Dongfeng’s four-word battle armor was also covered in dents due to the curses.

The Darkness Blood Demon wiped away the blood at the corner of his lips. Brutal radiance was seen shimmering in his eyes. “Qiangu Dongfeng, when I die, you won’t live either.”

Qiangu Dongfeng grunted coldly. “Just with your curses? My four-word battle armor is enough to withstand most of your curses. Your efforts are futile. You will only damage my armor at most, but you will definitely be slain.”

A wisp of ghastliness was seen in the Darkness Blood Demon’s expression. “Is that so? Have you forgotten that I’m an evil soul master? We are cruel to every living soul and we are even crueler to ourselves. If I am destined to die, could it be that I’m not allowed to drag someone down with me? Do you think that only the people from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect know how to go all out? We are able to do that too. Qiangu Dongfeng, die!”

As the Darkness Blood Demon spoke, the ninth soul ring on his body exploded without warning, and his entire body turned black-red.

Intense fear gripped Qiangu Dongfeng’s heart. He yelled and hurled the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand desperately. His aura was surging wildly and his battle armor was burning. He devoted every effort to let loose the most powerful attacks that he had.

There was no doubt that the opponent was about to go all out by detonating his soul ring. The Darkness Blood Demon was determined and showed no hesitation, so how could Qiangu Dongfeng not feel astonished?

On the other hand, the fear in his heart dispersed the core depth and courage of the Coiling Dragon Staff. Qiangu Dongfeng was aware that his current form would weaken his abilities. After all, he was only human. He was incapable of controlling this even if he wanted to!

When Qiangu Dongfeng was young, he had a remarkable amount of natural talent with abilities that far surpassed his peers. He had also inherited the clan’s martial soul, the Coiling Dragon Staff. He lived in unparalleled limelight.
