Chapter 111 - The Dragon's Rage

The dragon’s dreadfully large eyes emitted a chilly glow as it focused its gaze on the puny human in front of it. This weak human actually dared to shout at this Saint Dragon?! Since when did these cowardly humans learn to have some backbone?! Infuriating!

The dragon that was almost as huge as the entire Beltran City suddenly raised its towering head upon the skies and opened its enormous mouth, showing everyone its sharp rows of serrated teeth. It then emitted an earth-shattering roar that shook the entire Silver Wing Empire!

Roaarr!

At the end of its earth-splitting cry, a massive ball of blazingly hot flames materialized inside its wide-open mouth.

Everyone inside of Beltran City was still affected by the dragon’s mighty roar and some of those with fragile bodies even lost consciousness. Now, they could only watch as this flying behemoth produced a huge ball of fire; they all knew that it will definitely be aimed at the city’s array formation.

Emperor Elyk was drenched in a cold sweat as he stared fixedly at the dragon hovering above the sky. Because of the radiant brilliance from the scorching flame in its mouth, everyone was finally able to clearly see the features of this gigantic dragon.

Its humongous body was covered entirely by dark fish-like scales, each of which emitted a dull metallic luster that showed how sturdy it was. On top of the dragon’s head was a single horn that was shaped like a karambit’s blade. The dragon had four huge limbs with appallingly sharp claws that could tear through mountains. The tip of its long whip-like tail was covered by sharp spikes, extremely hideous and frightening!

The four guardians almost lost their courage when they saw the dragon’s petrifying visage, but after seeing the lone figure of their emperor who was still hovering above the sky, the four old men resolutely remained standing on top of the city wall.

Emperor Elyk’s figure didn’t waver even after facing this unusually tyrannical dragon. There was a tinge of fear underneath his solemn look, but the emperor refused to yield.

"This emperor is unafraid! Bring it on!" He bellowed loudly, causing his veins to almost pop out of his face.

Since he had already chosen to side with Jiu Shen, he could only stubbornly hold on and pray that Jiu Shen would immediately send his help. He could barely even maintain his sanity in front of this dragon that was nearing godhood, so the amount of pressure he was facing was inconceivable!

After condensing the raging ball of fire in its mouth, the dragon immediately spurted it out with a furious look.

A devastating dragon cry reverberated following the descent of the huge ball of flames.

Rooaar!!

The air trembled as the ball of searing flames descended towards Beltran City.

Emperor Elyk felt his palms drenched in sweat and his eyes emitted a trace of panic, but he took a deep breath as he pulled out the Silver Wing Sword from his space ring.

’If the array formation of the city is destroyed, I will use every ounce of my true essence to take this dragon’s attack. As long as I can show my stance to Wine Master Jiu, even his stone-cold heart might possibly waver, right?’ Emperor Elyk thought to himself as he silently gathered the true essence in his dantian.

The sky brightened as the huge ball of flames struck the city’s array formation.

Baaang!!

A terrible explosion boomed as spiderweb-like cracks slowly spread out on the array formation’s defensive light.

A rain of fire enveloped the whole of Beltran City, but luckily, the city’s array formation was still able to prevent those searing flames to touch the land below or the whole city would have been wrecked and covered in flames.

Emperor Elyk’s hand that was holding the Silver Wing Sword quivered under the intense scene that he had witnessed.

"This array formation is a peak 9th-rank protective array, but it actually almost crumbled after one attack from that dragon!" Emperor Elyk cried out in his heart.

The dragon glanced coldly at the array formation that was on the verge of crumbling. Its huge eyes revealed a hint of surprise, but it slowly turned into disdain. "I have to admit that I underestimated your city’s protective array formation, but can it block one more attack from this Saint Dragon!?" Its draconic voice was full of ridicule as it slowly opened its mouth again.

Everyone immediately turned scared as they watched as it slowly condensed another ball of flames.

In an ordinary-looking store, five figures can be seen staring at the sky with gloomy expressions.

"Master..." Lu Sulan glanced at her master with a pleading look. Although her relationship with Emperor Elyk was shallow, her Ice Cloud Sword Sect was still allied with the Silver Wing Empire, and she also didn’t want to see the empire being reduced to ashes.

Even Can Ye fixed his imploring gaze at his master... There was only one person he knew that might be able to stop that dragon... It was his master, Jiu Shen... Although he has yet to see Jiu Shen’s true might, there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart that this stern and usually deadpan master of his was definitely a true paragon among experts!

Jiu Shen sighed and stood up from his seat. The lazy look in his eyes turned horrifyingly cold as he gazed at the massive silhouette of the dragon hovering up above the sky. The serene aura around him vanished and was replaced by a dark and dreadful air that made Theia and the others unconsciously take a few steps back.

Even the usually mischievous Ice revealed a trace of fear in the depths of her crystal clear eyes. ’That stinky human... just how strong is he? Meow.’

Jiu Shen’s long silver hair fluttered as he streaked through the skies under the stunned gazes of Lu Sulan and co.

"Was that really master?" Lu Sulan muttered with a blank look as she looked at Jiu Shen’s figure that was slowly disappearing from their sights.

Will they finally be able to see Jiu Shen’s true power?
