Chapter 289 – Dragon Has Inverted Scales! (2/2)
His throat wanted to shout, but he could not shout a word.
His feet wanted to move, but he was unable to move a single step.
He heard the words of Zhong Shan and heard the orders of Zhong Feng. But he couldn't do anything.
His body was locked by the dragon in the sky, like a rabbit that had met the eyes of an eagle, the first thing to do was not run away, but s.h.i.+vering in the gra.s.s and not move.
Because, in their view, it was safer this way. Escaping would only send themselves into the eagle's mouth.
“You——” Zhong Yu wanted to shout something at the dragon above, but his voice was so weak that he could not even hear himself. After he realised this fact, the words that follow would not come out from his mouth.
He even could not swivel his eyeb.a.l.l.s, fearing that the slightest movement would trigger the dragon to bite off his head.
“Zhong Yu, do you have any last words?” The black dragon in the sky roared.
It was not the voice of Li Muyang, but an ancient voice that had gone through transformation of the world, like a thousand-years-old monster's voice.
As the black dragon began to speak, Zhong Yu suddenly felt a lot more at ease.
He knew that the black dragon had removed the body of qi locked onto him.
He glanced over at the other brothers, wanting them to come and rescue him.
But they were only focused on protecting their own formation, and did not want to come and face the black dragon with him.
Zhong Yu's heart was aching with grief and indignation, and also with extreme hatred. These so-called brothers, at the moment of calamity had revealed their true self. Not one of them could be trusted.
“Don't kill me.” Zhong Yu cried to the black dragon in the sky. “I did nothing. Don't kill me.”
He clenched his teeth and pointed to his six other brothers in the distance that had formed a large battle formation. “Its them——they did everything. They want to kill you and take the treasures, they want to s.n.a.t.c.h the Gla.s.s mirror, they want to take possession of Qiandu's body. It has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything.”
When the others heard Zhong Yu's words, they were all furious and lashed out at him.
“Zhong Yu, you timid coward——”
“Second younger brother, your deceitful betrayal, when we get back I will definitely report this to the sect master, tear off your skin and pull out your tendons——”
“Everyone, no need to get upset, maintain the inner peace——” Zhong Shan reminded. “This dragon is deliberately trying to ruin our relations.h.i.+p, make us fight amongst ourselves, throw us into confusion——as long as we stabilize the formation, we can slaughter the dragon.” ——
“Greedy and sinister, you all deserve to die.” The black dragon's voice grew biting cold.
His eyes were swirling with blood, and his body suddenly dived down towards the world of mortals.
Terrified, Zhong Yu desperately swung his sword up at the huge dragon's head.
Ka——
Ka——
Ka——
Zhong Yu found himself more and more far from the ground, his body higher and higher, he was brought into the air by the dragon.
He was still so unresponsive, frantically waving his sword towards the dragon's head.
One sword after another.
The black dragon dragged him to the high alt.i.tude and then suddenly loosened the claws that were gripping his body.
Zhong Yu's body finally regained freedom, attempting to use Changbai Sword Sect's flying technique to escape far away.
However, he found that his body was not under his control.
He was murmuring to himself, reciting the flying incantation again and again. However, his body remained in a straight line of descent.
Falling faster and sinking deeper.
Bang——
His body smashed heavily against the ground.
Enduring the pain, he looked over at a place not far away where there was a half of a body gus.h.i.+ng out blood.
The half of a body had only two legs and half of the waist, the upper half of the body had been cut off by some monster.
The more Zhong Yu looked at the half of a body the more and more familiar it seemed, with his forehead dripping with sweat he looked down at his body, only to find that his lower body had been snapped off by the dragon.
He had only half his body.
When he was brought into the air by the dragon, he was already severed in half.
But at that time, he was so afraid, was too busy trying to resist the attack and to escape, that he never felt the pain from his body, and didn't noticed that his legs had lost all sensation.
“Ah——”
Zhong Yu uttered a mournful scream.
His eyes drooped, the breath that he was holding at his chest faded, his strong will to live dissipating.
At this very moment, he truly died.
