Chapter 281 - Blizzard Dragon Slash (2/2)
Only Drifting Flowers Edifices, Sword Marquise Abode, and Veiled Dragon Pavilion’s higher ups grinned in pride. They finally turned things around!
But the eerie calm Regent Estate held itself in, threw them into worry and doubt.
[Can it be…]
Grandmother’s heart sank.
Roar!
A dragon roar got everyone’s attention. The smiling Chu Qingcheng and her allies had no time to celebrate as they turned to the source.
Huangpu Qingtian, in the middle of that iceberg, sported scales. They shone golden and then a golden dragon shot from him into the sky.
The iceberg exploded into pieces, setting the stage for a shiny and golden Huangpu Qingtian to step out of the remains in all his glory. The golden dragon made a circle above him before going back into his body.
“It’s the same as before, in Dragon Cloud City. What is that thing?” Long Xingyun muttered shellshocked at the disappearing golden dragon.
Huangpu Qingtian’s face was unsightly as he spat, “I have to give you guys credit. There’s hardly anyone in this world who can bring me this close to defeat! Not bad at all! But this is precisely why I have to thoroughly beat some sense into you, so no one would challenge their king!”
Huangpu Qingtian’s eyes flashed with bloodthirst as he shot forth.
The three jerked and held hands again. But Huangpu Qingtian’s uncanny speed and dreadful might came at them in the form of a palm.
“Nine Dragons Diamond Body, Dragon Empowered Claw!”
Huangpu Qingtian’s eyes flashed and struck without hesitation.
Chu Qingcheng covered the trio in a cold barrier, but it crumbled before the attack even arrived. With a loud boom, the earth sank, as if from a meteor strike, leaving a hundred meter wide crater.
The trio spat blood, feeling the huge pressure bearing on their shoulders, stopping them from even moving.
This was Huangpu Qingtian’s power.
And this was the power of but one palm. They banded together and encased him in ice, but even that wasn’t enough to even scratch him.
This monster appeared, for all intents and purposes, invincible.
The three sighed and had a defeated look, having finally realized the difference between them.
Huangpu Qingtian took in their pain, disappointment and despair, with a cold eye.
“Take out the Brimming Sacred Pill!” Huangpu Qingtian said, “Or I will go through each and every one of you here in my search!”
Huangpu Qingtian’s look scared the thousand plus people behind the trio. He treated them like dirt, needing only to pinch them before popping.
Xie Tianyang wished nothing more than to give his all in fighting him, but when he recalled what his brother had said earlier, he forced it down.
But the resentment only burned hotter in his heart.
Chu Qingcheng closed her eyes and her hand held a vial. She held her shaking hand and said, “Just take it and go!”
“Humph, why go through all this trouble when you could’ve spared yourself the suffering by taking it out from the start?” Huangpu Qingtian sneered as he left with the vial in hand.
He was far from done mocking them though, “I’ll let you guys off, this time. But in the off chance you find another Brimming Sacred Pill, do think of me and fetch it over. As you very well know, only the strong are entitled to wealth! You guys are sorely lacking, ha-ha-ha…”
The endless humiliation struck the trio hard. But not even their best could harm Huangpu Qingtian.
The audience beyond the National Elemental Stone sighed. Huangpu Qingtian was of such insane power that not even a combination art between three geniuses could do anything to him.
As they all had gotten so engrossed in the show, they had failed to notice two shadows hiding in the bushes.
One of them snickered at Huangpu Qingtian leaving, “He-he-he, this kid ain’t half bad. He’s just as they say, and the one we need. At least we didn’t come to Tianyu for nothing.”
The other shadow looked in another direction however. The first one noticed and found him eyeing Chu Qingcheng.
“Humph, by the looks of things, that crotchety geezer has found his target as well.” He sneered…
