Dragon Tamer

Zhu Minglang still showed no intention of summoning the Sword Spirit Dragon; he looked at Yang Ji and suddenly clenched something in his hand!

All of a sudden, Zhu Minglang’s eyes flashed with an eerie light, the air around him mysteriously surged, and a vastly awe-inspiring tidal wave of energy burst forth like a massive storm or an earthquake-induced tsunami!

The Cloud Heaven Dragon, though not huge in size, could easily shatter the ground with its fierce dive, its power absolutely terrifying. But compared to the witching torrent swirling around Zhu Minglang, it seemed somewhat insignificant and weak.

“Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!!”

In the midst of a scorching basin, it was as if a dark sea of sorcery had suddenly appeared from nowhere, toppling the Cloud Heaven Dragon with the might of a sea dragon king!!

The Sea-calming Bell!

Zhu Minglang was using this unique magic artifact at the moment; as long as enough spiritual power was infused into it, the surging witching tide it created would become even more tumultuous and possess the destructive force of an overturned sea.

Originally, this treasure was Zhu Minglang’s trump card for self-defense. The urgency of time at hand and the difficulty of surviving under the claws of the Yama Dragon even with the Sword Awakening Power activated, Zhu Minglang could not afford to tangle with the enemy into the night!

The Cloud Heaven Dragon was completely overturned by the tidal wave, and not just it—the personnel from Hongtian Peak nearby were not spared either. Once the Sea-calming Bell was deployed, it already possessed the terrifying power to submerge an island nation. Moreover, if this were executed at sea, the power would be doubled several times over.

At that moment, Zhu Minglang had simply released all of the witching tidal water stored in the Sea-calming Bell in one go, of course, infusing it with a substantial amount of his spiritual power. None of those from Hongtian Peak would have expected a Dragon Shepherd to suddenly wield such divine might.

Especially Little Emperor Yang Ji.

After realizing that Zhu Minglang’s cultivation base was not beneath his own, his Heart Demon deepened, and he began to feel jealousy and resentment. Once such emotions took over, the power he could bestow upon the Cloud Heaven Dragon would be weakened.

Therefore, Yang Ji was even more eager to kill Zhu Minglang quickly!

But the opponent’s strength far exceeded his expectations…

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon, the Spirit Glowing Dragon, and the Sword Spirit Dragon quickly returned to Zhu Minglang’s side. All four dragons were actually prepared for a vigorous and intense battle, but Zhu Minglang displayed his mighty power and knocked down all the enemies, leaving them with complex expressions.

“Everyone, come back. Let’s leave quickly. An ultimate Evil Dragon is staring at us!” Zhu Minglang opened the Spirit Realm and took all the dragons except for the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon back into the Spirit Realm.

Upon arrival of the Yama Dragon, the four dragons wouldn’t even be able to withstand a single full-powered strike from it, so Zhu Minglang certainly wasn’t going to take that risk!

Time to slip away!!!

He couldn’t worry about whether the people from Hongtian Peak were dead or alive anymore!

“Dark Form, to the depths!” Zhu Minglang said to the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon.

The Scale Feathers of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon all leaned back in unison, and another side covered in dark scales quickly overlapped and joined perfectly, like a sheet of intact dark jade skin.

Flapping its wings, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon in this form was agile and light. It navigated with its slender, graceful tail, using its wings for assistance and altered action.

The dragon burrowed deep into the ground. The darkness was its ocean to roam at will, and it quickly penetrated deeper underground, entering the Earth Vein Labyrinth according to Zhu Minglang’s wishes…

“Ngh~~~~~~~”

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon emitted a deep roar, its eyes instinctively looking up towards the surface above.

It was the creature that had shattered the entire underground rift the previous night!

This time it was closer to them, making an unmistakable beeline in their direction!

As the master of the night, even the proud Heavenly Slaughter Dragon had to hide like an eel in the deep muck, because the overwhelming pressure brought by the Yama Dragon was truly too frightening, leaving the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon without the courage to even face it.

“Don’t worry, let’s swallow this grievance for now, and once we’ve raised our cultivation base, we’ll definitely beat that Yama Dragon until it’s black and blue!” Zhu Minglang reassured Little White, sensing the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon’s emotions.

Knowing the right moment to bow is the mark of a wise person. Never hesitate when it’s time to be meek. Zhu Minglang had come to grasp this principle of survival quite well nowadays.

Lie low, and slowly grow stronger.

The frantic escape of today would be exchanged for a radiant tomorrow… There will come a day, without fail, when he would capture that tyrant Yama Dragon and make it earnestly guard and protect his own home!

“Bang!!!!!!!”

The Yama Dragon’s fury was uncontainable, its Scythe Wings viciously slashing through the basin.

The basin split in two, revealing the surface, rock layers, and veins of the earth, all laid bare by the Yama Dragon’s mighty chop.

It knew that the little thief who had stolen its Moon Jade Glass had hidden in the Earth Vein Labyrinth; it could smell the thief’s scent!

“Whoooo~~~~~~~~~~~~”

The Yama Dragon flew into the chasm it had created in the ground, then unleashed a ferocious Yama Dragon Flame in Zhu Minglang’s direction as he fled!

The Yama Dragon breathed out white flames, and in an instant, the thick rock layer turned to nothingness. The terrifying white flames seemed to never dim or extinguish, spreading to the outside of the basin and seeping into the veins of the earth!

This basin, which had just gone through an apocalyptic collision, was washed anew, and the Nothingness Fog nearby seemed to be dispersed by the Yama Dragon’s breath of flame.

The tyrant Night Emperor, the terror the Yama Dragon demonstrated, caused billions of creatures within this territory to tremble involuntarily.

The night was fearsome indeed, particularly a night with the Yama Dragon. As the creatures of this territory shivered, they were even more clueless about what exactly had enraged this lord of the dark night, causing its roars to echo throughout the long night!

…

In the fragmented basin, several figures were creeping abjectly, trying to escape from the Yama Dragon’s vented rage.

But every move they made was under the watchful eye of the Yama Dragon.

Ghastly fire-lit eyes emerged in the dark sky above. When Little Emperor Yang Ji bravely raised his head to look, he immediately saw those eyes, like the night sky’s own, coldly overlooking him.

“We… we meant no offense…”

“By the Night God above, we never intended any sacrilege or disrespect…”

At that moment, Yang Ji had forgotten his own faith.

The Tianchen they worshipped, which could be seen just by looking up near the Seven Stars, a slightly dimmer Overturning Star, was also the deity Yang Ji and his people revered.

But in that moment, Yang Ji dared not mention the name of this deity, even referring reverently to the god of the night sky.

However, the mentioning of the Night God by Yang Ji only served to enrage the Yama Dragon’s ghastly eyes further!

A massive claw tore through the darkness, and Yang Ji and his followers felt an unparalleled fear and despair.

Before that mighty claw could crush their skulls to pieces, they even regretted not listening to Zhu Minglang and Mi Rong’s words…

The Yama Dragon was truly right behind them!

Wasn’t it just a green hat? Why couldn’t they simply laugh it off?

The Yama Dragon didn’t care about any God’s Descendant or Little Emperor; its claws descended, turning the few annoying humans into dust. The Yama Dragon didn’t even bother to take another glance at them. Flaunting its proud Sickle Wings, it hovered around the Crater Basin for a long time, its ghastly eyes gradually losing their fury, instead coldly surveying the land, as if searching for traces left by that little thief.

…

…

Back in Li Chuan, Zhu Minglang’s heart was still thumping wildly.

That was damn thrilling.

Even if the Yama Dragon wasn’t a deity, it probably wasn’t far off. To have stolen a rare piece of Moon Jade Glass from such a dark tyrant brought both a sense of lingering fear and an ineffable thrill!

“For your little treat, we were almost completely wiped out.” Zhu Minglang said, sitting down on the ground, looking at Little White who was still drowsy beside him.

“Mew~~~~” Little White immediately snuggled up, affectionately licking Zhu Minglang’s cheek with its small tongue as a reward.

Zhu Minglang felt that ever since his Reincarnation Transformation, Little White had become much more aloof.

It wasn’t aloof towards him, but everything else seemed to be met with a chill and distant attitude.

Before, it would occasionally venture down to the ground or fly around him. Now, unless absolutely necessary, it would just perch on his shoulder, its supremely gorgeous white wings draped over like silk, trailing towards its small, perky dragon haunches.

Noble, languid, in its tranquility was a hint of detachment.

It seemed to be slightly disappointed and uninterested in this newly arrived God Territory.
