Chapter 440 - Come Here and Face Your Fate (1/2)

Roar!

That old dragon then looked up at the sky and let out an intense roar. The sound was so terrifying that over half of Fu City could hear it. The soundwaves spread out in all directions like raging waves.

Such an intense roar seemed to have shaken the entire sky.

The dragon’s ferocious and intimidating presence shrouded the entirety of Yunxuan Villa. Had it not been for the barrier blocking the effects out, the entire place would have been instantly engulfed by that terrifying aura.

Lu Xuan kept his arms crossed in front of his chest as he looked at that old dragon with cold eyes.

The terrifying pressure that the old dragon emanated was unable to pose even the slightest threat to him.

Lu Xuan then casually said, “Ao Chen, what’s the point in bringing up something so insignificant, huh? If that’s all you’ve got, I’m afraid you’ll be joining your son in death today.”

As soon as Lu Xuan mentioned his son, Ao Chen’s eyes flickered with a strong sense of murderous intent.

“You truly are a sly one. You try to provoke and make me hesitate by using such tricks. Are such underhanded tactics all you know?” Ao Chen then retorted coldly. There was no mistaking the flicker of murderous intent in its eyes.

The old dragon did not just act on impulse.

That massive body of the old dragon continued to swim around in the sky.

Ao Chen said as it glowered at Lu Xuan, “You’re the one who made me personally come here! If one son is dead, I could just have another. But you… you’re nothing more than a thorn in my side. As long as you’re still around, the great endeavor of the demons can never happen!”

As Lu Xuan looked at Ao Chen standing in front of him, he did not think the old dragon said anything absurd. Considering how Ao Chen usually acted as a proud tyrant, what he said was not all that impossible.

The fact that Ao Chen’s only offspring was killed should’ve been enough to enrage it on its own, but the main reason he ultimately decided to come to Earth had to be Lu Xuan.

Ao Chen knew that the human did all that he could to force it to advent because he was worried that Ao Chen would grow to be too large of a threat. As such, he wanted to get rid of it before it became too difficult to deal with in the future.

Even after all this time, that had always been the main reason for his actions.

Lu Xuan then continued in a chilling tone, “I understand what you are trying to do, but that will not change the fact that you will die today.”

Ao Chen became so enraged by what Lu Xuan said that it started smirking. It said, “Some guts you have there. No wonder people consider you to be the best amongst humans. I would have never met someone like you even back all those ages ago!”

Although a hint of acknowledgment and appreciation towards someone could be seen in the dragon’s eyes, the unmistakable, frightening murderous intent remained even more intense.

Having been around for at least a thousand years, the old dragon’s perspective on the world was much different.

In all those years Ao Chen had lived, it seemed to have never met another human being like Lu Xuan.

Even so, that was exactly why murderous intent boiled in his mind. There was no way it could afford to allow someone like that to live. Otherwise, all of that talk about the mighty undertaking of the demons would be little more than a pipe dream.

The old dragon knew all too well one of the main reasons why humans rose from being food in the past to currently being the dominant species of Earth: they had a group of unmatched geniuses leading the rest of humanity.

It was obvious that one such genius was Lu Xuan, who now stood before the old dragon.

That old dragon continued to glare at Lu Xuan with cold eyes as if it were searching for something to provoke and enrage him. Meanwhile, its body continued to swim about as it did so.

All of a sudden, it instantly transformed into a very stout and imposing man who looked to be in his forties or fifties.

The man wore scale armor and held a halberd in his hand, making him seem like a legendary warrior had been reborn.

The terrifying pressure that the old dragon usually emanated wildly swept all over the place.
