Chapter 319 - Demagogue (2/2)

But with Leng Wuchang not stating it, Fang Qiubai couldn’t exactly point it out either. His only choice was to seethe in silence.

Regent Estate elders’ worry was now replaced with full blown conceit, arrogance, being stuck up… the usual.

“Sir Leng is a true demagogue.” Fang Qiubai snorted.

Leng Wuchang raised his head and waved, “You give me too much credit. I am only stating the facts, ha-ha-ha…”

Fang Qiubai faltered and turned to look at the arrogant figure within the National Elemental Stone with killing intent.

Leng Wuchang may have preached all he wanted, but Huangpu Qingtian’s death was guaranteed in his eyes!

The third pillar’s prophecy had never been wrong. The one to have the Dao Dragon would have the world. [Since the brat has a dragon soul then he might obtain the whole Dragon Vein. That will spell the end of Tianyu’s imperial family.]

He noticed how the eyes of the rest changed when they looked at Huangpu Qingtian. They may even be hailing him as their rightful king, a bad sign indeed.

Only Luo Yunchang and the rest stared at the National Elemental Stone with worry.

Huangpu Qingtian had the dragon soul’s help, providence as he said, by his side. Zhuo Fan may be stronger, but how was he going to defeat the king handpicked by fate? Huangpu Qingtian was under the dragon soul’s protection.

Taking a deep breath, Zhuo Fan stared at his opponent, knowing this as well. Just that he didn’t place two cents on some flimsy reason as providence or what not. Moreover, his Blood Infant wasn’t the least bit inferior to the Dragon Vein Soul.

Much better in fact. As Blood Infant had a far sharper mind. It was the symbol of a true king.

[With it roaming around Huangpu Qingtian and defending him, it’s going to make things hard.]

Pff!

Spitting blood, Zhuo Fan frowned as his heart sank. He had released too much purple lightning and his body couldn’t take it anymore. It was now or never.

Zhuo Fan gnashed his teeth and charged, [All or nothing!]

“Oh? You dare come at me knowing full well what Dragon Vein Soul can do? Die then!”

Huangpu Qingtian saw Zhuo Fan ready for battle and shouted, “Not even father could subdue the dragon soul while I did it in my childhood! Do you know what that means? I am God’s gift to the world! You are not fighting me but fate, heaven itself! The only outcome you’ll have from it is death!”

Huangpu Qingtian spoke with such complete confidence, self-conceit and presence as if he was an emperor rebuking a peasant.

You Yushan’s trio by his side basked in the leftover pride, making full use of their connection. They were destined to be officials!

Those watching the National Elemental Stone sighed. With the dragon soul taken out, they had written Zhuo Fan off. Who could fight against heaven?

Zhuo Fan gave a snort instead, “No wonder those Blood Crocs listened to you. So that’s your spiel. Dragon Vein Soul is the lord over the earth that no one dares disobey. A king’s right indeed, providence even. Your point being?”

Purple lightning flickered all over Zhuo Fan as he gathered all his power and shouted, “I am Soaring Demonic Dragon. I will ascend the nine heavens if I have to. Don’t ever think your puny earth dragon king, a crownless dragon, can stand in my way!”

This painted shock on everyone’s faces. Providence declared through its agent, the Dragon Vein Soul, who was king. But Zhuo Fan wasn’t buying it. He would’ve disgraced his Soaring Demonic Dragon title if he did. He feared nothing, not even heaven!

Huangpu Qingtian shuddered, his eyes bloodshot.

He could accept the earlier defiance, but now he had displayed the Dragon Vein Soul’s approval and yet this ant still dared to look down on him? Huangpu Qingtian had long passed the limits of his patience.

From an early age he knew that he was the one destined to have the Dragon Vein, the royal throne offered to him on a silver platter. Every man, including his father, had to bow before him.

Zhuo Fan knew this and showed not an ounce of respect, enraging him further.

The one thing his entire pride relied on was looked down at with such scorn that it was a heavy blow to his self esteem. As if to say he was king above all, but always beneath Zhuo Fan!

His fist tightened and he roared, “Then I shall take heaven’s stead in eradicating the world of an ant daring to defy a king’s authority!”

Huangpu Qingtian clawed, “Nine Dragons Diamond Body, Earth Dragon Empowered Claw! “

As the dragon soul took flight the earth quaked and a surge of incredible might rose up from underground…
