Chapter 2239 - 2231: So Eager to Die?
Song Shaokang and a few others were taken aback, then burst into laughter, especially Song Shaokang, who laughed the hardest.
"Kid, I’ve seen arrogant fools, but none as arrogant and foolish as you," Song Shaokang laughed, "Do you really think someone like you, a heavily injured Dominator Ninth Stage Early Stage, can kill me?"
With that, his entire aura surged, "Do you know my strength? I’m at the Dominator Tenth Rank Middle Stage! I’ve even injured experts at the Dominator Tenth Stage Late Stage!"
"Even some experts at the Dominator Tenth Stage Late Stage can’t match me, and you say you want to kill me?"
At the end, Song Shaokang became somewhat excited, his eyes glinting with murderous intent.
A mere Dominator Ninth Stage Early Stage dared threaten him repeatedly with death; it was an utter humiliation for him!
Zhang Wenyue and her companions had not previously known Huang Xiaolong’s realm and strength, only making a rough guess. Now, hearing Huang Xiaolong was just a Dominator Ninth Stage Early Stage and injured, while Song Shaokang was at the Dominator Tenth Rank Middle Stage, they couldn’t help but feel worried and anxious.
"Young master, should we?" Zhang Wenyue asked with concern.
She wanted to persuade Huang Xiaolong to leave while Song Shaokang was preoccupied attacking the Thunder Qi Restriction of the Thunder Dragon Divine Tree.
After all, anyone with a bit of common sense would know a Dominator Ninth Stage Early Stage could not possibly be a match for a Dominator Tenth Rank Middle Stage, let alone if injured!
Before Huang Xiaolong could speak, Song Shaokang’s figure flickered and blocked them, sneering, "Do you plan to escape now? Don’t you think it’s a bit too late?"
His aura instantly locked onto Huang Xiaolong and his companions.
Simultaneously, Song Shaokang instructed the two elders with him, "Continue focusing on attacking the Thunder Qi Restriction of the Thunder Dragon Divine Tree, leave this brat to me!"
"Yes, Young Sect Master!" the two replied.
The two were naturally confident in Song Shaokang’s strength.
Song Shaokang turned back, his gaze falling on Zhang Wenyue, smiling, "Miss Zhang, if you choose to serve me now, for the sake of that Supreme-level Treasure Book, not only will I spare you, but I’ll also allow you to join our Beast Emperor Sect and become one of our core disciples!"
"I might even recommend you to some of our elders in the Beast Emperor Sect, letting them take you in as a disciple!"
"Then you’d be above millions, enjoying supreme glory!"
Song Shaokang’s tempting voice drilled incessantly into Zhang Wenyue’s ears.
Though the Beast Emperor Sect wasn’t as prestigious as the Beidou Sword Sect, it was second only to it in the Biluo Dynasty. If she became a direct disciple of a Beast Emperor Sect elder, she’d be above millions, enjoying a status even the King of the Jinyuan Kingdom would warmly welcome.
Moreover, a direct disciple of a Beast Emperor Sect elder would certainly enjoy far more prestige than an ordinary disciple of the Beidou Sword Sect.
Yet Huang Xiaolong remained silent, awaiting Zhang Wenyue’s response to Song Shaokang.
He hadn’t imposed any restrictions on Zhang Wenyue, wanting to see how she’d choose under such temptation.
Zhang Wenyue looked at Song Shaokang, shaking her head, "I will not serve the Beast Emperor Sect, nor will I betray the Young Master!" She didn’t say much, but her tone was resolute.
Upon hearing this, Song Shaokang laughed coldly, "What a pity. I gave you a chance to choose glory, to become above millions, but you chose death instead!"
"In that case, once I deal with this brat, I’ll have a good time tormenting you, playing you to death!"
Song Shaokang’s smile was wicked.
Huang Xiaolong said indifferently, "Are you done talking?"
"What? Can’t wait to die?" Song Shaokang sneered, "Then I’ll fulfill your wish now!" With that, he gestured, and a fierce giant beast appeared beside him.
This fierce giant beast was the Mount Song Shaokang had raised, a spiritual beast of the Primordial Level, named the Red Blood Black Tiger.
The Red Blood Black Tiger was entirely black, yet shimmered with a red blood glow, dark and bloody.
"To kill you, there’s no need for me to act personally; my Mount can easily handle you!" Song Shaokang declared, waving his hand, "Go, tear this brat apart alive!"
This Red Blood Black Tiger was at the Dominator Tenth Rank Early Stage.
On Song Shaokang’s order, the Red Blood Black Tiger roared, lunging at Huang Xiaolong with its two front claws.
As the claws sliced through the air, they left countless streaks of gleaming cold light.
"Young Master, be careful!" Zhang Wenyue exclaimed, her pretty face startled.
But Huang Xiaolong didn’t even look, directly swinging both fists forward.
Seeing this, Song Shaokang chuckled, "Brat, you’re courting death. My Red Blood Black Tiger can easily tear apart Divine Armor of low-grade Primordial Treasure level!"
Besides its incredible speed, the Red Blood Black Tiger had the sharpest claws.
However, before Song Shaokang could finish, the Red Blood Black Tiger’s claws collided with Huang Xiaolong’s fists. A cracking sound echoed as its claws splattered blood and flesh, its front legs burst apart, and the entire Red Blood Black Tiger let out a miserable scream, flying off and crashing into the surface of the Black Flame Sea.
"Boom!"
Sparks flew heavily from the sea surface.
Zhang Wenyue, Zhang Haochen, and Prince Qian were dumbstruck.
Song Shaokang was also stunned.
The two elders of the Beast Emperor Sect who were attacking the Thunder Qi Restriction of the Thunder Dragon Divine Tree heard the wailing and glanced over, visibly shocked, pausing their attacks.
Yet Huang Xiaolong didn’t even look at the Red Blood Black Tiger, coldly remarking to Song Shaokang, "It seems your Mount is not enough; you need to act personally."
At that moment, the two elders of the Emperor Beast Sect also stopped attacking the Thunder Qi Restriction of the Thunder Dragon Divine Tree and dashed to Song Shaokang’s side, watching Huang Xiaolong with solemn expressions, summoning their mounts as well.
Even they found it challenging to defeat Song Shaokang’s Red Blood Black Tiger, yet Huang Xiaolong could punch it away with a single blow!
"Who are you?" Song Shaokang asked, his face sourly fixed on Huang Xiaolong. He had just sensed his Mount, the Red Blood Black Tiger’s, incredibly weakened aura, feeling both heartbroken and furious. He didn’t know how many Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Pills it had consumed to grow to the Dominator Tenth Rank Early Stage.
Yet now, it was nearly crippled by Huang Xiaolong’s punch!
"Who I am isn’t important," Huang Xiaolong shook his head, "As I said earlier, not only will you not get the Thunder Dragon Divine Fruit today, but you’ll also die here!"
Song Shaokang’s face grew even paler.
Earlier, they’d brushed off Huang Xiaolong’s words.
"Kid, do you really think you’ve won?" Song Shaokang’s eyes grew cold, his entire body radiating light as armor appeared over him simultaneously. He wielded a long blade etched with countless divine beast images.
"The Beast Emperor Saber!" Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed.
The Beast Emperor Saber was the Beast Emperor Sect’s treasured sect weapon, a Supreme Spiritual Treasure, though only low-grade, its power surpassed many ordinary low-grade Supreme Spiritual Treasures.
The armor on Song Shaokang’s body, though not Supreme Divine Armor, was a top-grade Primordial Treasure level, with extremely strong defense.
"Yes, the Beast Emperor Saber!" Song Shaokang sneered, "My armor can’t even be breached by many Dominator Tenth Stage Late Stage fighters. Combined with my Beast Emperor Saber, I refuse to believe I can’t kill you, a Dominator Ninth Stage Early Stage!"
