Chapter 1320 - 1316
Looking at his entirely pitch-black body, the Dragon Spirit almost couldn’t hold it together and nearly went berserk again.
But the Dragon Spirit had a rebellious streak, so when he heard the disdainful voice of the Demon-locking Tower’s Artifact Spirit, he immediately felt that the pitch black wasn’t so hard to accept.
"You creature with no sense of aesthetics, who can’t even separate your own body, you’d better shut that foul mouth of yours!"
Poked right where it hurt, the Dragon Spirit was quite vengeful, knowing exactly where to strike to wound the Demon-locking Tower Artifact Spirit.
Sure enough, the Demon-locking Tower Artifact Spirit was caught off guard too.
[I’m going all out!!!]
The huge dragon shadow that the Dragon Spirit had just re-gathered suddenly weakened again due to the Demon-locking Tower Artifact Spirit’s meddling.
It looked as though it might fall apart at any moment.
The Dragon Spirit was infuriated by the ill-timed antics of the Demon-locking Tower Artifact Spirit, and a phrase emerged in his mind.
That is, when it’s not your own, it won’t ever be reliable; it always falters at crucial moments.
If Little Paperman or Ginsengfruit were here, it would never be like this.
Even if they were fighting life or death, or arguing a moment before, if someone dared to offend them, they would become the strongest allies the next moment.
The more the Dragon Spirit thought, the angrier he got, and he became even less fond of the Demon-locking Tower Artifact Spirit.
Yun Ran had the foresight to take this guy off the contract.
"Hmph, you piece of trash, if I don’t teach you a lesson, you won’t know what it means when the Dragon King’s wrath brings death to thousands!"
Another Dragon Roar sounded, and the Dragon Spirit’s full power was unleashed, completely merging with the Black Dragon’s Dragon Core.
The massive dragon-shaped shadow re-solidified, and the enormous Dragon Eye instantly turned into a vertical pupil, looking exceptionally terrifying.
Even the aura around him underwent a transformation.
If anyone familiar with the Dragon Spirit were present, they would be astonished by the sinister and ruthless aura emanating from him.
The lock of the Demon-locking Tower Artifact Spirit was also taken aback by the Dragon Spirit’s transformation.
It really hadn’t expected that just by merging with the Black Dragon’s Dragon Spirit, which had been corrupted by the malevolent aura, the Dragon Spirit would change so drastically.
It was as though he had completely turned into another kind of life form.
Seizing the moment of the Demon-locking Tower Artifact Spirit’s hesitation, the Dragon Spirit locked it away again.
"This time, without the Dragon King’s permission, you won’t escape again!"
Demon-locking Tower Artifact Spirit: ...
So it was still its fault it was awakened, despite having just helped separate that malevolent aura from the Dragon Core.
Even if it was a bit overzealous and picked the wrong time to fight, it didn’t deserve to be abandoned so quickly.
Unfortunately, the Demon-locking Tower Artifact Spirit had no time to express anything before it was confined to the little dark room by the Dragon Spirit, forced to remain a frustrated mute.
Having dealt with the meddling of the Demon-locking Tower Artifact Spirit, the Dragon Spirit coldly looked at the air prison trapping him with his golden vertical pupils.
He raised his claw again and, with the speed of lightning, aimed a fierce grab at mid-air.
At the same moment, his tail swung in the same direction in mid-air.
A cracking sound echoed through the sky.
That seemingly sturdy air prison shook more violently than before.
The Azure Dragon standing outside didn’t know that at the same time the Dragon Spirit was attacking the air prison, he also diverted some energy to battle the Demon-locking Tower Artifact Spirit.
He only saw that this Great Demon, who had assumed human form, was much stronger than he had anticipated.
If it were any other Xuanmen person here today, they would have been killed instead.
The people of the Divine Hall rarely descended from the mountain, but once they did, they never failed.
Especially those who, like them, were chosen as Divine Servants from a young age; apart from the High Priest, their combat strength was unparalleled.
But now, the Dragon Spirit felt exceptionally troublesome to the Azure Dragon.
What’s more unsettling for the Azure Dragon is that within this base, there seemed to be another hidden force present, one he could only vaguely sense but couldn’t capture.
At his level of existence, perception is almost equivalent to foresight.
A situation where something can be vaguely sensed but not captured occurs in only two scenarios.
The first is that the force can easily crush him, and the second is that its owner bears him no malice.
The Azure Dragon’s instinct leaned toward the second scenario.
In this world, those stronger than him might be counted in a few, but those who could crush him effortlessly are even fewer.
With potential threats outside and the uncontrollable Dragon Spirit inside, the Azure Dragon indeed found himself in quite a dilemma.
The Dragon Spirit launched several successive attacks, shaking the air prison even more, yet not creating a single crack.
Though nobody else knew the power behind his blows, he was acutely aware.
If anywhere else, these hits might have easily destroyed an entire mountain range.
At this moment, even the Dragon Spirit harbored some trepidation about the Divine Hall; could it be that he was truly doomed today?
No wonder Yun Ran was so calculative, hiding away early!
Given their lack of understanding of each other’s strength and power, both the Dragon Spirit and the Azure Dragon were clearly overthinking the situation.
Dusk gradually deepened into darkness.
But whether the original people of the base or those who came in with the Young Prince, everyone knew that the situation wouldn’t resolve so easily.
The family heads of Mei City hastily instructed to prepare the best accommodations for the Young Prince’s entourage.
A distance away from the reception hall.
Several people from the base gathered quietly.
"Do you think Mr. Long can withstand this? If he can’t hold out, will our identities be exposed too?"
"Stop rambling, let’s all be cautious these days. Don’t give anything away. No matter what happens, just deny everything!"
"What about Ma San then? That guy looks shady; should we take this chance to get rid of him first..."
"Are you crazy? Can you even say that? If you want to die, don’t drag us down with you!"
Someone quickly covered the mouth of the one suggesting killing Ma San, his face filled with horror.
If they killed Ma San now to reduce their suspicion and Lord Divine Envoy returned, they’d be the first to be dealt with.
Though they hadn’t firsthand experienced the methods of those from the Dark Hall, they knew well enough.
Falling into their hands was worse than death.
The one speaking had just blurted it out in the heat of conversation, but he regretted it as soon as he said it.
Thankfully, his companions had brains and weren’t swayed by his impulsive words.
