Chapter 1382: They’re deceiving the wraiths
As soon as the dragon had spoken, You Tian Gui had immediately made preparations to fight.
There were over a dozen wraiths on their side, so if it was only a single dragon, they had no need to panic——
A second later, a dragon that suddenly appeared out of nowhere looked blankly towards the group of people.
It looked around, muttering:
「 What happened? Why is there so much killing intent, and even signs of death? The clouds in the sky are crying, the flowers on the ground are still trying to grow, how could all of you have run all the way here just to fight to the death in such a beautiful place~ 」
It began to sing.
The wraiths were stunned.
——is this dragon dumb?
Suddenly, another dragon descended from above.
「 Even after knowing that he’s the heir of our boss, you still dare to bully him, so you’re looking down on our dragon race huh? 」this dragon angrily grumbled.
More and more dragons continued to descend one after another, all of them landing on top of the trees and looking down towards Gu Qing Shan’s side.
One, two, three… a total of 29 dragons!
This was an overwhelming force!
Gu Qing Shan finally put his sword away, tapped his Inventory Bag to take out a few bottles of liquor, then threw one each to Crow and Yu Juan.
“After sparring, it’s so easy to feel a bit parched” he said.
Lines of glowing text were hovering in the void of s.p.a.ce in front of him.
[You’ve equipped the t.i.tle: Dragon King of Atrocity Jail]
[You are in combat]
[As the heir of the dragon ancestor, your battle will be sensed by the other dragons within your vicinity, they might come to aid you]
[Attention, the first dragon is approaching]
[Attention, the second dragon is approaching]
[…]
Gu Qing Shan stopped looking at the combat synopsis and popped his bottle open.
Crow also opened his bottle, drank several mouthfuls, then spoke: “So you were trying to buy time to complete a summoning technique”
Yu Juan commented while feeling a.s.sured: “We’re saved”
The three of them all turned towards the wraiths.
Gu Qing Shan looked at You Tian Gui and said: “See, even while we’re not in Void City, I still have people to protect me”
You Tian Gui was holding a Life Talisman in his hand, but no matter how he tried, it didn’t activate.
He changed to another talisman and declared after forming a hand seal: “Law Exposure!”
The Life Talisman burnt away and formed two unique runes in mid-air.
Seeing these two runes, You Tian Gui’s expression changed.
Anti-warp Barrier Hex!
Isolation Barrier Hex!
——without me knowing, we were already restrained by these two Hexes!
When did that happen?
You Tian Gui was confused.
I can’t send out a talisman to call for help either.
Despite how cautious I was, I couldn’t even see the one who acted.
Exactly when, who, and how did they manage to set up these barriers?
You Tian Gui was a bit speechless.
Right now, he was feeling some regret.
If only the Wraith Lord hadn’t a.s.signed me to this…
As he thought that, a dragon roared towards Gu Qing Shan from above: 「 Who said I’m here to protect you? I have a grudge against the dragon ancestor, I’m here to kill you 」
「 Me too 」
「 I as well 」
「 And me 」
「 That’s right, kill him, I’m in! 」
About a dozen dragons roared at the same time.
The remaining dozen dragons stood in front of Gu Qing Shan’s group to s.h.i.+eld them, angrily roaring: 「 You can’t kill him, he’s the heir of the dragon ancestor! 」
The dragons were stuck in a stand-off, their killing intent growing increasingly stronger.
You Tian Gui suddenly felt hope.
So many of these dragons actually came here to kill him!
He silently counted and found that the dragons who wanted to kill Gu Qing Shan were actually the majority.
That’s perfect!
You Tian Gui was excited and swung his hand: “Everyone, everyone please! We wraiths also wish to kill the disciple of the dragon ancestor; we can fight alongside you!”
The dragons who wanted to kill Gu Qing Shan swiftly retreated and stood around the wraiths.
「 Who are you? 」one of the dragons asked in a whisper.
“I am You Tian Gui, I came from the Wraith realm, under orders to kill this Dragon King of Atrocity Jail”
「 You Tian Gui? 」another dragon asked.
“Yes, as long as you can help us hold off those dragons, you can leave killing Dragon King of Atrocity Jail to us” You Tian Gui confirmed.
「 You said you were called, You Tian Gui, are you sure you aren’t boasting? Do you have confidence in actually killing that ‘Dragon King of Atrocity Jail’? 」another dragon questioned.
“There won’t be any issues” You Tian Gui a.s.sured them.
The dragons exchanged glances, the nodded: 「 Very well, then you can join us 」
The leader dragon spoke: 「 Wait a moment first, we will first use our Draconics magic to attack, they are extremely powerful techniques, so don’t act yet or you might get caught in them 」
“I understand” You Tian Gui replied.
He was feeling more confident, and even a bit curious.
Very few have actually witnessed the dragon’s Draconics magic.
All historical records regarding the dragon’s magic had been hidden by the dragons, one way or another.
Dragons are truly sly.
Most of the time, one wouldn’t even know how they actually attacked.
And now, with the dragons fighting in front of me, I can finally——
「 I spit on you, you d.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! Carefully listen to what I have to say! 」
A resounding howl from above cut off You Tian Gui’s thoughts.
He looked up.
Only to see the dragons on the other side were shouting jeers and insults towards theirs.
「 I spit on you! I woke up in the middle of the night and someone was trying to bully a dragon, huh! 」one of the dragons said.
The second followed up: 「 I open my big eyes to try and take a look, turns out it was a bunch who wear masks and hide like turtles in their sh.e.l.ls 」
The third dragon howled: 「 If you want to fight then fight, what ‘help’, I’ve seen through your shamelessness, acting like you own the place! 」
Against them, among the dragons that wanted to kill Gu Qing Shan, one of them stood out and began: 「 Yo~ 」
The dragons behind it immediately raised their voices and chanted in unison: 「 You bunch of good-for-nothings only knows how to run your mouths. You all know what schemes you’re plotting, others people might not want to expose you, but I can tell from a mile away~ 」
Among the dragons on Gu Qing Shan’s side, one of them instantly jumped out and angrily shouted: 「 Bulls.h.i.+t! 」
It cleared its throat and shouted: 「 You dirty rat b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, I’m telling you right now—— 」
After spitting an entire bar, it happily retreated.
It was happy, but the dragons on the other side weren’t.
Another dragon stepped forward, scoffed in disdain, then began insulting its opposition.
Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan put his hands on Crow and Yu Juan’s shoulders, telling them: “Let’s back off a bit”
Crow already had his rapier at the ready, prepared for combat, but since the dragons in the air were still insulting one another, he didn’t really have an opening to charge forward.
“What’s going on here?” Yu Juan couldn’t help but ask.
“We just need to wait” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Lines of text were appearing in front of his eyes one after another:
[Combat synopsis:]
[Frost Dragon had unleashed the Frost Dragon Shadow Hex]
[Emerald Dragon had unleashed the Emerald Dragon Shadow Hex]
[Ghost Illusion Dragon had unleashed the Purple Dragon Shadow Hex]
[Saint Light Dragon had unleashed the White Dragon Shadow Hex]
[Demon Flame Dragon had unleashed the Blue Dragon Shadow Hex]
[Silver Dragon had unleashed the Golden Dragon Shadow Hex]
[Lightning Dragon had unleashed the…]
[…]
[All the Dragon Hexes have afflicted the wraiths]
Time slowly pa.s.sed.
It had already been ten minutes.
The three of them felt their visions becoming blurred.
They had returned to the bar.
Everything was as they were previously.
But the wraiths did not appear.
This time, even Crow was confused.
“Hey, do you know what just happened?” he silently sent his voice to Gu Qing Shan and asked.
“Not sure, most likely the dragon race’s combat practices are a secret to the dragon race, so they didn’t want us to witness” Gu Qing Shan silently replied.
Crow asked in confusion: “Weren’t those dragons insulting each other, preparing to fight?”
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “They were deceiving those wraiths”
