Chapter 810 - 166: Dark Night Lord
Dragons have always been powerful creatures.
No one knows what the original dragon kind looked like, because of their strong genes, dragons can combine with many creatures, resulting in a variety of dragon-like creatures, forming a vast and scattered Dragon Race.
The most powerful is the Fly Dragon from the Insect Race, able to shatter the void, traveling through numerous worlds, possessing power comparable to a Divine Spirit.
This is not considered a creature of the Dragon Race, but is an epic level creature created by the Insect Race using the genes of dragon-like creatures.
This Zombie Dragon is only a Tier Six, but its actual combat power might be reaching Tier Five.
This is the power of the Dragon Race, possessing terrifying combat strength.
This single Zombie Dragon can destroy all of Chenzhou, its power likely surpasses that of the Great Wizard.
But if a real fight breaks out, the outcome is still uncertain.
This zombie dragon with purple scales has many damaged areas on its body, revealing decaying flesh, its face full of ferocity, explosiveness, terror, and savage ruthlessness.
Standing on the head of the dragon is a figure wearing dark armor, his skin pale, bald head, pointed ears, blood-red eyes, directly staring at the inconspicuous Su Changxing.
Such overwhelming momentum only reminds people of death, sinking into the endless darkness under the water, unable to open one’s eyes, only hearing the sound of rushing water.
Su Changxing also couldn’t help but frown, thinking that with his current power, if not invincible, at least he could walk proudly on Blue Star, but unexpectedly upon returning he encountered such a presence.
"You are indeed here!"
A deep and raspy voice, full of coldness.
Su Changxing’s face carried a smile, peacefully saying, "Why, are you here to find me? Why all this fuss?"
Undead invading humans, to most people, seems perfectly normal, like wolves eating sheep, cats catching mice, the rules of the world.
Su Changxing certainly knew this, but still said such nonsense, wanting to appear confident, the opponent is probably one of the Dark Night Lords, the one who guards the City of Decay.
That person had a strange smile on his face, "I haven’t seen a human like you for a long time, or perhaps I haven’t seen a human for many years."
"We haven’t actively attacked your world, yet you dare to breach my City of Decay."
Su Changxing’s face showed little expression, calmly saying, "Well, so what? I didn’t expect you’d dare to come to me, you beings lurking in darkness."
That person frowned, eyes flashing seriousness, this was originally a test, unsure of Su Changxing’s background, coldly saying, "You speak boldly, I am one of the Dark Night Lords, the King of Corpse Eaters, Prometheus Bayl Fadden, tell me your name."
Su Changxing thought the opponent appeared quite chivalrous, first courteous then forceful, like a noble knight, "Haha, it seems not all undead are crude beings, as for who I am, you don’t need to know."
Brilliant white light burst from Su Changxing’s left eye, radiating half the sky, turning the black mist into white mist, everything changed.
The King of Corpse Eaters’ face drastically changed, the white light filled him with terror, sensing the aura of a Divine Spirit, "This! How is it possible!"
Divine Spirits in the past weren’t unfamiliar beings, they just haven’t appeared for a very long time.
Time makes everything strange, even great beings, memories blur slowly.
He suddenly recalled those terrifying Divine Spirits, once dominating everything, dominating numerous worlds.
These Divine Spirits often favored humans because humans are excellent followers, both sides were mutually beneficial coexistences, humans worshiped the Divine Spirits, and the Divine Spirits protected humans.
If not for the disappearance of these Divine Spirits, how could they have occupied the Undead World.
Are these beings appearing again now?
Su Changxing smiled gently, "I didn’t raze your City of Decay, yet you still dare to come to me, do you truly not fear death?"
"I’ll give you half a moment to retreat, leave this world, or don’t blame me for being rude."
The words were calm, yet chilled the air rapidly, silence surrounding, both undead and humans looking in this direction, unsure of the situation between these two powerful figures.
The King of Corpse Eaters’ expression remained unchanged, but inside he felt uncertain, sensing the essence of a God from Su Changxing, feeling some fear.
This fear quickly amplified in his heart over time, his heart racing, if he had a heart.
Just as Su Changxing’s words fell.
The King of Corpse Eaters forced an awkward smile, bowed slightly to Su Changxing, patted the dragon’s head with his left hand gloved in iron, softly called:
"We leave."
The Zombie Dragon coiled and flew towards the horizon, disappearing into the black mist, those undead soldiers near the mist’s edge also retreated one after another, gone in the blink of an eye.
Those standing on the high walls were stunned, expecting a grand battle, yet witnessed such a turn, these undead were persuaded to retreat by Su Changxing with just a few words, without a single battle.
This was the most unbelievable thing.
Then.
Cheers erupted from the city walls, victory cheers, though it was a war that ended before it began, it seemed they had won.
Lu Yu was completely dumbfounded, not expecting Su Changxing to repel these monsters in such a manner, turning his head with a puzzled look to ask:
"Leader Su, why did they retreat because of your few words?"
Su Changxing shook his head, smiling brightly, "Scared them away, these undead do fear, their intelligence is not much lower than humans, even higher."
"But precisely because they’re scared away, they may return, prepare for battle."
His heart wasn’t relaxed either, the Dark Night Lord’s power was indeed too strong, even he felt immense pressure, lacking the certainty of victory.
Thus he didn’t act, thinking of scaring them away this way.
Having faith as a guise, as long as he didn’t act, the opponent wouldn’t uncover his depths, only retreating.
This method appeared confident, but lacked real conviction, that Dark Night Monarch might realize the doubts upon returning.
"Will they come again?" Lu Yu’s expression showed some gloom, just beneath that Zombie Dragon he couldn’t breathe, let alone face such a terrifying being as the Dark Night Lord.
If it weren’t for Su Changxing here today, they might have seen this vast gathering place destroyed instantly.
Others might not realize, enjoying the sudden victory, yet it felt like a false victory.
Su Changxing patted his shoulder, easily saying, "Don’t worry, when they retreated, we had already won."
The scales of victory often tilt unwittingly, perhaps unnoticed by the parties involved.
He tugged a corner of his mouth into a slight smile, shook his head, thinking these old monsters living for ages seemed like this.
Age is merely an assessment standard, experience is the sole measure.
