Chapter 1668: The Black Dragon King (1/2)

Gu Zun wasn’t surprised at all that Li Qiye would let him leave. He cupped his fist and smiled: “Thank you, Your Excellency. You’re still the one that knows me best in this world.”

“Okay, no need to utter such nauseating words. Go ahead and use all of your ace cards, I know you still have some secrets hidden up your sleeve.” Li Qiye leisurely said.

“I’ll try my best. Hopefully, my killing move won’t disappoint you. That would be too much of a let down since you think so highly of me.” Gu Zun smiled.

With that, his body flashed and crossed through s.p.a.ce.

“We’re done here.” Li Qiye waved his sleeve at the nine kings: “The nine of you can continue your hibernation. Oh, right, I forgot. The old geezer from the mine misses you. You all can decide whether to keep staying here or come back for the punishment.”

He instantly disappeared to chase Gu Zun again.

It wasn’t like the pheasant didn’t know that the nine kings have snuck out of the cave back then. In fact, it was impossible for an existence of this level not to detect them. It purposely let them escape and pretended not to know.

Since their birth, these juniors weren’t allowed to take half a step out of the cave. The nine brothers wanted to see the outside world but the seniors didn’t give them permission. They had even tried to sneak out several times in the past to no avail. Later on, the pheasant became soft and let them snuck out. Otherwise, how could nine little juniors escape from the immortal mine?

***

After running away from the nine Sea Kings, Gu Zun didn’t bother exerting his speed to its limit. He was in no hurry because he knew that Li Qiye wasn’t in a rush to kill him either before he showed his ace cards.

At this moment, the two of them were playing a cat and mouse game. For now, he was the mouse and Li Qiye was the cat.

Of course, Gu Zun thought that he still had a chance to turn it around if he could grasp the right opportunity. He would become the cat then.

Li Qiye, on the other hand, was indeed taking his time. He had guessed Gu Zun’s ace card so killing him now wouldn’t end this game. He wanted to capture everything in one fell swoop.

Meanwhile, a booming noise came from the distant Little Sea Village. The entire place shook as if a gigantic bull had just turned over. All the villagers were shaken with the ancestors running out to take a look.

“Rawr!” A dragon roar echoed across the Grand Sea. The ancestors in the village could only see a shadow rus.h.i.+ng to the sky. It disappeared instantly.

“That is…” The ancestors couldn’t regain their sanity. It looked as if they had just seen the shadow of a true dragon.

Gu Zun still hasn’t made it back to Heaven Suppression before an explosion occurred. s.p.a.ce was shattered immediately. Runes descended from the sky and turned into a formation to lock Gu Zun.

He was aghast to see the runes while Li Qiye only smiled and stepped inside.

“Boom!” The runic formation teleported the two of them into a different area.

In an unknown crevice in the sky with rotating stars, sun and moon, the runic formation took the group into a battle stage.

“Raaa!” The runes were of a draconic nature and were issuing roars as if they wanted to turn into true dragon. The whole place was drowned in the aura of a true dragon as if a real one was there.

Sure enough, Gu Zun looked up and saw a true dragon lying right there. It was completely black with scales seemingly cast from some wondrous and tough metal. Its five claws were extremely sharp with a flas.h.i.+ng glint, capable of cutting through everything.
