Chapter 213: It’s So Tiring Being A Dragon
Jing Ting was originally fighting a giant wolf.
He was someone who had tempered his body, so he fought the giant wolf head-on from the start.
Fighting against a wolf at the same cultivation level, he was not at any disadvantage.
Given some time, he could easily kill the giant wolf.
While he was still fighting, he suddenly saw Jiang Lan, who was being attacked by a giant wolf too.
Or perhaps it was because he was attracted by the giant wolf’s cry that he discovered Jiang Lan.
A perfected Essence Soul skywolf was attacking Jiang Lan, a late-stage Essence Soul cultivator.
This was absolutely overpowering.
This Junior Brother of the Ninth Summit was not familiar with the others. Even Jing Ting had only seen him a few times and greeted him a few times.
However, he was naturally more familiar with him than the others.
He had realized that Jiang Lan was actually different from the rumors through his interaction with him. He treated his fellow disciples with respect. It was just that he spoke little and did not smile.
Thus, he didn’t intend to watch Jiang Lan be killed.
Boom!
After sending the giant wolf flying with a punch, he headed towards Jiang Lan.
However, he was held back by the giant wolf halfway through and could not go over for the time being.
Jiang Lan also began to launch his attacks. He hoped that Jiang Lan could last longer.
But…
Just as he was about to repel the enemy once again, he suddenly saw Jiang Lan brandis.h.i.+ng his longsword around the giant wolf. The sword rose and fell in a steady and orderly manner. There was a hint of sword intent in his sword.
It was as if he had practiced this move a thousand times.
In just a moment, he saw Jiang Lan stop.
This left him in disbelief.
Because… he saw Jiang turn and leave. On the other side, the giant wolf had crashed to the ground.
A perfected Essence Soul demon was killed by a late-stage Essence Soul human in such a short period of time.
This…
“Is Junior Brother really a late-stage Essence Soul cultivator?”
He was surprised.
However, he saw that the strength Jiang Lan used was definitely at the late-stage Essence Soul Realm.
However, his sword technique, his footwork, and the timing of his attacks were all exceptionally ingenious.
“Heaven rewards the diligent?”
Suddenly, he thought of the words written on the Fifth Summit.
Perhaps this Junior Brother of the Ninth Summit was like this.
However, Jing Ting still came to Jiang Lan’s side.
“Has Junior Brother expended too much energy? There’s an elder overseeing the forest behind us. If you’re injured, you can go over there to recuperate.”
He could sense that Jiang Lan was completely different from the rumors. Rumor had it that the Ninth Summit’s Junior Brother relied on resources to rise up and was the weakest among his peers.
However, upon seeing his strength today, Jing Ting confirmed that the rumors were merely rumors.
Jiang Lan’s strength was not the weakest among his peers. Instead, he was able to fight those at a higher cultivation level.
Jiang Lan came to a realization after hearing Jing Ting’s words. He was indeed using the strength of a late-stage Essence Soul cultivator.
However, killing someone of a higher realm would definitely consume a lot of energy. It was even possible that one would use secret techniques to exchange injuries when fighting with one of a higher realm.
“Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother.”
Jiang Lan lowered his head in thanks.
Then, Jing Ting left to continue fighting the giant wolf.
Such an opportunity to engage in a life-and-death fight was extremely rare.
Jiang Lan adjusted his condition to make himself appear weaker.
He could not fight anyone of a higher realm anymore.
It was still reasonable if he were to say that he said that it was because he had used a secret technique. However, if he were to do it often, he would become the center of attention.
The rumors about him were better now.
Most people looked down on him.
This made it easier for him to kill his enemies if the need arises.
Moreover, this would also make the Heavenly Human Race and Demon Race to think lower of him and not act against him so quickly.
This way, he would have enough time.
After resting for a moment, Jiang Lan continued to join the battle. He had already reached the Ice Cicada Forest.
This battle would not last long. He could not rest for long.
He needed to bring some battle results back for his master to see.
He needed to let him be happy.
Since he wasn’t able to go out for training, he would be more active in the vicinity of Kunlun.
Jiang Lan became an ordinary member of Kunlun’s countless disciples. He didn’t have any outstanding achievements, but his figure was still there.
He, who had never gone out to train, could indeed learn a lot from this battle.
For example, he had learned that there would always be danger in this world. The Grand Desolate World was filled with G.o.ds and devils. If one was even the slightest bit careless, they would turn to souls for the others.
Becoming stronger was the most important thing.
Boom!
A loud sound suddenly came from the sky. One of the two bright lights started to dim.
“It’s about to end.”
This was Jiang Lan’s first thought.
Once the battle in the sky ended, it would also be about time for the battles below to end.
The aura was completely different.
The duration of this battle was much shorter than he had imagined. It might not even last overnight.
…
…
Kunlun Main Hall.
There were two people from the Dragon Race and also two Summit Leaders from Kunlun seated here.
A middle-aged man and a young woman were sitting in the seats meant for the Dragon Race.
On Kunlun’s side, there was Second Summit’s Liu Jing and Fifth Summit’s Miao Yue.
“I met with an accident at Kunlun the moment I came here. What a coincidence.” Ao Li looked at Liu Jing and smiled.
“Originally, we agreed to have the people of the younger generation fight one another. From the looks of it, the younger generation of Kunlun might not have the time and energy to do so.
We dragons won’t bully the weak either. Let’s talk about the matter regarding Ao Longyu directly. Besides, since Kunlun has encountered a small battle today, there might be an even bigger one tomorrow. No one knows what can happen.”
As Ao Li’s voice fell, Liu Jing remained silent with a calm expression.
Miao Yue looked at Ao Li and smiled.
“Indeed. Your Dragon Race has just experienced a great war that lasted for a hundred years. You guys should be very weak now, right? I think that you too should be on your guard. Once someone takes advantage of the situation, the Dragon Race might even be obliterated.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ao Li looked coldly at Miao Yue.
At this moment, Ao s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, who belonged to the Dragon Race, looked at Miao Yue. Her voice was light as she said.
“You might not know, but the Dragon Race’s foundation can support us for another hundred years of war if needed.”
“So does that mean that the betrothal gifts we gave decades ago were all part of the Dragon Race’s foundation to begin with?” Miao Yue was still smiling.
Dozens of years ago, if the incident regarding the G.o.ddess had not happened, the Dragon Race would have had to face the demons alone.
After the incident with Ao Longyu, the Dragon Race finally had the support of Kunlun.
This was the deal back then.
After that, the dragons began to gain the upper hand.
This was not part of the foundation of the Dragon Race.
“You…” Ao s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was at a loss for words.
Miao Yue looked at these people with a calm expression.
Liu Jing remained silent throughout.
Since they were not talking about serious matters, he did not intend to talk nonsense.
“No matter what, your sect’s disciples are the only ones who are harmed by this battle.” Ao Li said coldly.
“Is that so?” A voice sounded from outside the great hall, and then two streaks of light appeared in the great hall.
It was Mo Zhengdong and the Eighth Prince, Ao Man.
At this moment, Ao Man was clutching his waist, feeling a little weak.
There were also many dry bloodstains on his body.
Seeing the Eighth Prince like this, Ao Li and Ao s.h.i.+ were both stunned.
They were immediately enraged.
Boom!
Powerful energy surged toward Mo Zhengdong.
“You need to give my Dragon Race an explanation.”
Boom!!
Three extremely powerful forces pressed down on the two dragons instantly.
“Who are you to act so insolently in the Kunlun Main Hall?” Liu Jing, who had been silent all this while, spoke up.
The Eighth Prince was trembling in the middle.
He was definitely going to be a good person from now on. No, a good dragon.
“Are all dragons as stupid as you? Or are you trying to stir up trouble?” Miao Yue’s voice sounded.
The Eighth Prince Ao Man was the face of the Dragon race.
How could they remain calm after he had been injured to such an extent?
Should they bow down to Kunlun after seeing their junior in such a state?
But this was Kunlun’s territory and they were already at a disadvantage.
Furthermore, he did not know what realm these three people were at. If he really attacked, the outcome would be unknown.
Ao Li withdrew his aura, his voice a bit gloomy.
“You better give me a satisfactory explanation.”
“Explanation?” Mo Zhengdong looked at Ao Li, his voice similarly cold.
“The demons have acted against Kunlun and I found him in the demons’ territory. Shouldn’t you be the one explaining to us? ”
Hearing this, Ao Li was stunned and immediately said.
“Impossible. We don’t want to work with the demons.”
After saying those words, he turned to Ao Man and waited for his explanation.
If the matter was confirmed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
