“Grandfather Lin, are you feeling better?”
The youth asked eagerly.
“I’m fine, young master, what about you?”
The youth shook his head and said, “I’m fine too, it was a mysterious person who saved me.”
Seeing that Ling Xiao was ignoring him, the Unicorn Prince was simply furious. He roared, “Brat, you’re just a human, yet you dare to offend our Black Dragon Clan like this. Be careful, or you’ll die without a burial place!”
“Get lost! If I still see you here after two breaths, I’ll kill without mercy!”
Ling Xiao said coldly.
“Little beast, I think you’re tired of living, daring to speak to the prince like that. I’ll destroy you now!”
Scarface, who had been injured by Old Lin, was already in a rage. Seeing Ling Xiao’s arrogance, he vented all his anger on him.
His body transformed, his hands turning into dragon claws, and his head, which still had some human resemblance, fully became a dragon’s head.
With a roar, Scarface unleashed his true energy wildly, his figure flashing like lightning towards Ling Xiao, his claws glinting coldly in the sunlight.
Ling Xiao just looked at him faintly, too lazy to even make a move.
With his hands behind his back, his black hair fluttering in the wind, his gaze was sharp and domineering.
Scarface’s claws struck Ling Xiao’s body, but suddenly, they shattered like glass. In that instant, Scarface’s eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
Before him stood not a man, but a towering mountain, an unshakeable fortress.
Boom!
A terrifying rebound force erupted from Ling Xiao’s body. Scarface had no time to react before his entire body exploded into fragments, utterly dead.
“As expected, after my cultivation breakthrough, even my body’s defence has become stronger. The rebound effect of the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body is even more terrifying. A Mortal Realm Sixth Layer warrior like Scarface is no match for me. I don’t even need to lift a finger.”
After his great progress in cultivation, Ling Xiao hadn’t faced such an opponent yet. This time, testing his body’s resilience proved extraordinary.
What!
With Scarface killed, the two princes of the Black Dragon Clan and General Black Wheel all paled.
“Let’s attack together, this kid is a bit strange!”
Seeing the situation turn bad, the Unicorn Prince naturally wouldn’t let Ling Xiao continue his arrogance. He planned to overwhelm him with numbers.
He refused to believe that two Mortal Realm Eighth Layer warriors, plus one at the Seventh Layer, couldn’t kill this young man.
“Yes!”
General Black Wheel and the other Black Dragon Clan prince nodded.
They saw nothing wrong with ganging up on one.
Ling Xiao didn’t find it unfair either. In a life-or-death feud, there was no room for reason.
As long as the opponent could be killed, anything went.
The three Black Dragon Clan members formed a triangle, surrounding Ling Xiao.
They attacked almost simultaneously, though their strengths varied.
The Unicorn Prince was clearly the strongest, with far more combat experience than Scarface, whom Ling Xiao had killed.
Under his command, the three didn’t immediately approach Ling Xiao. Instead, they opened their mouths and spewed dragon breath.
This was an innate ability of the dragon race.
The Black Dragon Clan, descendants of the ancient Earth Dragon, had black death flames as their dragon breath. It was said that at a certain cultivation level, these flames could transform into the “Death Dark Flame,” one of the Twelve Sacred Fires, with terrifying effects.
“As expected of dragon clansmen. In that case, showing my human-dragon form in front of you shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Ling Xiao smiled. Facing the trio’s siege in his human form was a bit tricky, but his human-dragon form was another story.
“You’re a dragon too! And a Golden Dragon!”
The Unicorn Prince was shocked to see Ling Xiao enter his human-dragon form, but then he gritted his teeth and said, “That makes it even more necessary for you to die!”
“Heh, do you have the ability?”
Ling Xiao sneered and also spewed a burst of dragon breath.
“The dragon breath of the Golden Dragon Clan! You really are a Golden Dragon!”
Boom!
Just as the Unicorn Prince shouted, Ling Xiao’s dragon breath collided with his. He hadn’t expected Ling Xiao’s breath to be so powerful, shattering his own instantly. The residual force even struck his body.
His body shuddered, nearly spitting out dragon blood.
The Unicorn Prince dodged quickly, his body twisting strangely, and a dragon tail over ten metres long appeared behind him.
The tail, covered in sharp scales burning with black flames, stabbed fiercely at Ling Xiao’s chest.
Ling Xiao’s expression remained unchanged. He retreated instantly, dodging the other two’s dragon breath attacks, and pointed a finger.
Heavenly Dragon Divine Finger!
Pfft!
The dragon tail was pierced by the Heavenly Dragon Divine Finger, causing the Unicorn Prince to roar in pain.
“Kill him! We must kill him! This guy is even trickier than the Golden Dragon young master. He absolutely cannot live, or our Black Dragon Clan is doomed!”
“Black Dragon Form!”
Seeing that dragon breath couldn’t harm Ling Xiao, General Black Wheel knew he had to use his final trump card.
With a roar, he lunged at Ling Xiao, his clothes tearing as his body grew larger, increasingly resembling a massive black dragon.
The black dragon, dozens of metres long and over ten metres tall, stood like a mountain. Outside the Moonlight Pagoda, it would likely terrify many.
Yet Ling Xiao remained unfazed.
Having entered the Ancient Golden Dragon form before, he knew what growing large felt like.
But against this foe, there was no need for that form.
His human-dragon form was more than enough.
The black dragon’s massive claw slammed down, aiming to crush Ling Xiao into paste.
Ling Xiao raised a palm, golden light flashing, infused with the “Qi Sword” palm-sword technique.
The small palm blocked the black dragon’s giant claw, even slicing through its scales, causing General Black Wheel to wail in agony.
“Dragon Strike!”
Enduring the pain, General Black Wheel’s massive dragon tail swung at Ling Xiao from a bizarre angle, while his huge black wings spread, whipping up a gale to blow Ling Xiao away.
“What’s this? I was hoping to see some dragon clan martial techniques. Don’t tell me you only know instinctive attacks, just like me?”
Ling Xiao was deeply disappointed.
He hadn’t killed them outright because he wanted to steal some dragon clan martial techniques.
After all, his current Ancient Golden Dragon form relied solely on physical attacks, lacking any real martial technique, which was frankly too crude.
Boom!
Ling Xiao kicked out, his foot wrapped in Qi Sword energy.
Crash!
The black dragon’s massive body, too heavy to be knocked back, had its chest bones collapse inward, spewing a torrent of dragon blood from its huge mouth, like a waterfall.
