Chapter 25 - Gotta go fast! (1/2)

Jean saw that their speed was getting slower, meaning that they are getting near the target, while he was going on, he found 5 warning signs that told him that cultivators below a certain level couldn't pass, until 4 words came in the last sign.

”Scarlet Dragon Prohibited Region.”

He found the cultivators and hid behind a tree, listening to their conversation.

?: Is it around here?

??: Correct, that red colored region ahead, should be the nest of that Flame Dragon.

???: Are you sure that you've investigated the Flame Dragon's true strength clearly?

??: Mn, tenth level Sky Profound Beast! There should be no mistakes, with senior elder here, there's no reason that we wouldn't be able to dispose of it!

????: If we can obtain its fire-attribute Profound Core, then we could definitely let young master's Burning Heaven Arts make another breakthrough. If successful, in the next Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, we would have the confidence to press ahead of the Xiao Sect and even Frozen Cloud Asgard!

Jean: 'So they came from the Burning Heaven Clan…'

???: Heh, it's only an Elementary Profound Realm's little brat. Probably because it's the first time he had seen the Profound Floating Technique, so he recklessly followed us. Hmph, if he really wants to die that bad, there's no need to wait for the Flame Dragon to strike, I can send him on a trip to hell right now.

??: Tch, bothering with the likes of a brat in the Elementary Profound Realm, do you even care for your integrity.

Jean's eyes widened for a moment, he was easily caught even though he was careful with hiding from them, so what if they caught him? His movements are faster than theirs today.

His thoughts were interrupted when he could feel his heart beating abnormally, as if something was calling for him…

Jasmine: What's wrong with you?

Jean: Something seems to be calling me…

Jasmine: Calling you?

Jean: It can't be wrong, it's right over there. I could feel my Profound Veins reacting to something… I need to see what it is.

He noticed that the five people in air were already heading towards the mountain where the dragon lives, Jean held his last Star Concealing Pellet and headed towards their direction. The moment he stepped in the Prohibited Region, a wave of dry heat came across his face.

When he reached the place where the fight between the elders and the dragon would happen, he saw one of them taking out a dark-gold blade and covered it in flames, before he swung the blade and a dragon-shaped flame came out, charging towards the cave where the dragon lives.

And then, the entire cave slightly trembled at the impact, waking up the dragon.

?: ROOOOOOARR!!!!

Suddenly, a tremendously loud roar came from inside the cave, even if Jean was far away, his ears immediately went deaf, meanwhile, a blazing light came from the depth of the cave, followed from a pillar of flames that headed towards the 5 elders, who flew out of its way.

When they watched the cave again, a colossal dragon came out, its height reached 100 feet and its entire body was covered in scarlet scales, its wings and tail were set in blazing fire and when it lifted its head, it spoke.

Dragon: Audacious humans, to actually have the impertinence to dare offend and breach into this king's territory!

Its voice was heavy and rough, but it emanated a dignity that made one's heart palpate. But an elder stepped up and bravely said.

Elder 1: I didn't expect that in this remote and no-name place, there actually resided a dragon…. nevertheless, a Flame Dragon! However, with your noble body and compelling power, residing in this sort of place is far too humble of you.

After we take your Profound Core, we'll definitely display your power at the pinnacle of Blue Wind Empire, what do you think?

That elder is Fen Moli, and his arrogant words ignited the Flame Dragon's temper at once, his raging voice boomed in the sky.

Dragon: Insatiable humans, you will pay the ultimate price for your arrogance and greed. This king will incinerate you all into dust!

Fen Moli: Fight!

Then the Dragon and the elders started their battle, Jean was watching them from a hill far away from them and waited for them to get away from the cave, it was a dragon's home, so it is obviously full of treasures, even its shedded scales and skin were a treasure.

And now the thing he needed the most was money… He finally sprinted forward when they were far enough.

Jasmine: What're trying to do?
