313 Slaying the Dragon (1/2)
”Whooo!”
As the tornado ensued, the winds raged on. Suddenly, a flagstaff broke and the flag was blown up into the air.
In the epicentre of the tornado, a black water dragon was glaring at a horned dragon and a golden dragon on the opposite side.
”This is...”
”Thank you for your blessings, Dragon God!”
Beneath, the leftover sailors, regardless of their rank, were all kneeling down and worshipping the dragons.
”Where did these dragon gods come from?”
Xu Ting witnessed the scene before him, as he clenched his fists, tensed.
”It seems that one of them is the Golden Court Dragon God. I don't seem to recognise the other one, but he seems as powerful!”
Spiritual light spilt out of Kong Luo's eyes as he shook his head. ”It is your fate that you have the protection from these two dragon gods!” He congratulated Xu Ting.
”It's too early to conclude! Go forth and assist the naval officers to slay the demons!”
Xu Ting laid out a few other commands. ”Also... As for these two dragon gods, remember to give them offerings in the future to show our gratitude...”
He had to put up a show!
At this point in time, the destructive tornado was still out there!
After all, he had already completely forgotten about the Xuan Zhen Sect's involvement with demons.
”Yes Sir!”
10 over daoist acknowledged the order, arrived on the ship and executed their spiritual techniques.
”Spring Returning Spell!”
”Fire from the Heavenly Order, strike!”
”Watch out for my sword, you beast!”
...
With the continuous spiritual spells and sword radiance, Kong Luo leapt around with a lethal green-coloured sword essence around him. Although his strikes were powerful, there was no joy on his face.
He was clear that they were mere distractions; the only ones who would be able to influence the outcome of the battle were the dragon gods.
”The two of you... are traitors! You bring shame to us demons!”
The black water dragon roared. ”I am the An River Water God! The spiritual energy of the An River, hear my command, gather!”
A mysterious glow appeared on the black water dragon's body as the winds started to pick up. A huge illusionary shadow of a river appeared behind him, blessing him with unparalleled power.
The advantage goes to whoever was on their home ground!
”Indeed a righteous god! What a pity... you're a tyrant!”
Fang Yuan shook his head and glanced at the Golden Court Dragon God. ”Let's do it!”
”Listen to my command, the spiritual energy shall disperse!”
At that moment, two mysterious glows appeared on their backs as well, revealing the imagery of a vast lake. With a roar, the An River became affected and the spiritual energy quickly dispersed.
”It's the Qi Lake Dragon God and the Golden Court Lake Dragon God!”
These two lakes were neighbouring the An River and could affect it greatly. Therefore, as the two dragon gods of the lakes combined their forces, the spiritual energy of the An River was mostly dissipated!
The greatest power a god could ever have was stripped off him in an instant.
Furthermore, under the pressure from both lakes, the illusionary shadow of the An River started to shrink. Finally, it could no longer hold on under the pressure. A black fog appeared and in it the hue of blood and an inauspicious omen.
After the closer look, many restless souls were seen within the black fog. These restless souls came from the live offerings given to the An River as well as the humans being killed by this attack. All of them were dressed in white robes and had blood oozing out of their eyes.
As the An River Dragon God, he had to bear the responsibility if the gods under him were to partake in unethical acts like accepting live offerings.
The restless souls accumulated over all these years had amounted to a scarily huge number. Being released all at once and the fact that the An River Dragon God had to deal with the other two dragon gods as well, he was being cornered with nowhere to go.
”Karma will always come back at the right time!”
Seeing this, Fang Yuan mumbled to himself as he gained a new level of understanding for the realm.
”If you follow the heavenly trend, things would be easier!”
The Golden Court Dragon God sighed and took a step forward. He stretched both his palms out. ”Disperse!”
”Whoooo!”
A strong gust of wind started to oppose the tornado, weakening it.
As the people on the ground witnessed the fight, they were all shocked and surprised. A huge calamity like this was so simply put out by the gods.
”Ahh... You two, remember what you've done!”
There were bloody flames burning on the black water dragon's body. As he roared in pain, he released a glow from his scales in an attempt to fight the flames as he tried to escape.
With such a golden opportunity, how would Fang Yuan let it go to waste? ”Thunder Sword! Strike!”
”Rumble!”
Thunder roared in the skies and a bolt of lightning struck across. Immediately, it blocked the path of the escaping black water dragon. ”Water and Fire are heartless, and the Thunder Sword shall act as the heavenly tribulation. 3 Talents Sword Array, rise!”
”Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
3 streaks of swords struck towards the skies from the ground. Icy, fiery and electrifying, they exploded in a split second.
”Young god... What an impressive move!”
Seeing this scene, the Golden Court Dragon God's eyelid started to twitch. If he was the one being trapped by the sword array, he had no confidence in escaping as well.
”Although this array is powerful, it is still not powerful enough to kill a dragon god!”
Fang Yuan appeared calm. ”Golden Court Dragon God, please restrict it with your imperial order for me to deliver the final blow!”
”Alright!”
”Bang!”
In the next moment, the 3 Talents Sword Array exploded, revealing a heavily wounded and charred black water dragon.
”Restrict!”
The Golden Court Dragon God appeared solemn. With both his hands, he pressed downwards an immediately, a colourful imagery of believers giving their offerings appeared behind his back. In a split second, the imagery turned into a golden wheel.
This was the Golden Wheel of Offerings, and it had the power of tens of thousands of believers in it.
In terms of people dao, the black water dragon only had heaps of grievances compared to the Golden Wheel of Offerings.
As the Golden Wheel of Offerings slowly pressed downwards against the black water dragon, the black water dragon let out a shriek. The imperial order from within its body appeared; it was golden with a hue of green. On it, there was a spinning glow. As the runes shook, it felt as though something big was about to happen.
This was how easy it would be when going with the heavenly trend.
