Chapter 1930: I Already Gave You a Chance

Dragon King Hong Hua had previously been cultivating in a special place of isolation the Meng clan had prepared for him, so he'd sensed the earlier battle. At the time, Zu An seemed to have used a domain similar to his own dragon’s might. Its power wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t anything too remarkable either. He'd even wanted to mock Zu An and show him what a proper display of might was like. But how could he have expected that this human hadn’t used all of his strength then?!

At that moment, the terrifying power rushed at his head, and there seemed to be some kind of strange, invisible bird accompanying as well. His entire body trembled, and he actually couldn't control his own body and fell down.

Meng Jing was instantly stupefied. At first, he'd thought that since the Meng clan’s legendary guardian Dragon King Hong Hua was fighting on their side, all he had to do was sit back and enjoy the show. No matter how strong that damned brat was, how could he be stronger than a great gold dragon who had lived for thousands of years? At worst, he had even mentally prepared himself for the two sides going back and forth, and then the dragon king seizing victory with difficulty in the end. And yet, the dragon king was already lying on the ground as soon as they faced each other? He had really never expected that.

Meng Chan was also a bit absent-minded. Her head went completely blank. There were no schemes left, and no Meng clan either. She knew that the Meng clan was already finished. And it was all because they had gotten the most crucial piece of information horribly wrong!

If I had just personally visited him even once before…

She rejected that thought as soon as it appeared. Even if she had personally met him, she wouldn’t have been able to tell that this outstanding young man was actually hiding such frightening strength. It wasn’t just her, either; testing him out was probably something anyone in the entire capital could have thought of. Unfortunately, it was the Meng clan that had ended up testing out the lightning strike for everyone’s else's sake, and that test resulted in death.

In the distance, the experts of the different clans all looked in the direction of the Meng manor with endless shock. Just what was going on? Why had suddenly such a powerful pressure appeared? Why had the giant dragon fallen down? Could it be because of that Zu An?

All of the signs seemed to indicate that, but it was really something they didn’t dare to believe. The great clans all had some level of intelligence on Zu An, and they all knew what kind of fellow he had been back in Brightmoon City. He had just cultivated for three years in total, so how could he possibly be this strong?

Unfortunately, it was precisely because their intelligence was too lacking that they had ended up making that misjudgment. The Fiend races hadn’t known the details of his past, so they didn’t carry such prejudice. That was why they had been able to adjust their attitudes toward him so quickly.

Dragon King Hong Hua roared again and again. It was clear that his sudden fall had made him utterly furious.

You have successfully trolled Dragon King Hong Hua for +888 +888 +888…

He opened his mouth and fired another round of dragon breath. A blast full of berserk earth element energy surged in Zu An’s direction.

Just as the dragon breath arrived in front of Zu An, he took a small step, and almost seemed to leap through space. By the time his foot fell, the dragon breath was already behind him. It blasted straight through the houses past him. Under the devastating power of the breath, at least half of the Meng manor vanished into thin air. There weren’t even any traces of collapsed walls or debris left.

Meng Jing was utterly heartbroken by this sight.

Sir dragon king, didn’t you say you would protect the Meng clan? And yet now, half of the Meng clan’s disciples have been killed by you…

However, his attention quickly shifted to something else..

Sir dragon king doesn’t seem to be able to beat that little bastard?

Dragon King Hong Hua’s giant eyes almost popped out. He said with a trembling voice, “Spatial… Spatial element power? Could it be that you have already reached the level of the human emperor Zhao Han?”

Zu An didn’t reply. Instead, he took a step forward and stepped on the dragon's head.

Dragon King Hong Hua still had his pride as part of the dragon race, however. When his head was stepped on, he struggled frantically and swept his tail left and right. A good amount of what remained of the Meng manor vanished too, leaving behind only frightened cries.

“You can still move?” Zu An remarked as he stomped down, sending an invisible blast of power rippling out.

The massive gold dragon’s entire body trembled. His body and tail could no longer move. His entire body felt as if it had been crushed by an invisible mountain. All of his bones creaked and groaned, and all of his scales burst. Strands of blood drenched his body.

Many people had seen fish being scaled, but they had never seen a dragon being scaled… After the scales covering the dragon's thousand-meter-long body exploded outward, it really was a ghastly sight.

Dragon King Hong Hua finally understood that he had offended someone he shouldn’t have offended. He immediately gave in and said, “I believe you, I believe you now! I believe that you are the Fiend races' Regent!”

What kind of joke is this? With your strength, forget about a human, even a pig would have the right to become the Regent of the Fiend races!

“It’s already too late,” Zu An said. With a wave of his hand, the Meng clan’s Bonewater Cleaver instantly appeared in front of him.

The giant gold dragon really started to panic when he sensed Zu An’s killing intent. He cried, “You cannot kill me; my father is the previous generation dragon king! Also, I have already awakened the dragon race’s gold dragon bloodline, and the clan can sense the death of every member of the gold clan! If you kill me, you will have offended the entire dragon race! The dragon race will chase you to the ends of hell…”

“That is a bit tricky…” Zu An began.

The dragon sighed in relief when he heard what Zu An said. He couldn't help but say, “Right? You humans have a saying, that a wise man submits to circumstances…”

Before he could even finish his sentence, however, a blade quickly pierced straight through his head. His powerful physical defense was like paper in front of Zu An, and the blade sank in all the way down to the handle.

Meng Jing felt a wave of dizziness. His entire body fell weakly to the ground. The Meng clan’s blade was an immortal-grade weapon, but this was a great gold dragon! Even if the dragon just stood there and let him hack at it with the blade, he wouldn't even be able to injure it at all. And yet in Zu An’s hands, the same blade had killed the giant dragon so easily?

We’re done. We’re finished.

The giant gold dragon widened its eyes, its expression also full of disbelief.

This human actually dared to kill me? Is he really not scared of the wrath of the dragon race?

“I already gave you a chance before, but it's a pity that you didn’t cherish it,” Zu An said as he twisted the blade. The overflowing river of blade ki instantly blasted the dragon’s brains into paste; he couldn't be any more dead. For Zu An, killing a dragon was a bit troublesome, but that was all; it wasn't as if he hadn’t killed them before.

He pulled out the blade and looked at Meng Jing, saying, “Your turn.”

When he looked at the blade that was still dripping with the blood and brains of the dragon, Meng Jing only felt a warm sensation by his crotch. He discovered with shame that he had actually defecated himself. He was one of the glorious eight dukes of the court, the Minister of Works, the Meng clan’s great ancestor. How could someone like him be scared this badly? Still, all that had happened was just too shocking. His brain had already completely crashed.

At that instant, a hazy halo of light suddenly gathered inside the dragon’s corpse. Then, it seemed to begin summoning something. Water-like ripples appeared in the sky.

“Hm? Is this the power of his bloodline? It is a bit interesting,” Zu An said, recalling what the dragon had said earlier. He couldn't help but become a bit surprised.

An unsurpassed pressure spread out in all directions just then, one that was countless times greater than what the gold dragon had released earlier. The entire capital was alarmed, and many cultivators shuddered in fear. It was the power of an earth immortal!

Did his majesty return, or did the Fiend races invade?

From how unfamiliar the energy felt, it was clearly more like the latter. All of the capital’s defense mechanisms began to activate.

Suddenly, the wave-like ripples became a mirror, and a middle-aged man appeared. He was dressed in yellow robes, and there were two thin horns on his head. He roared furiously, “Who dares to kill one of the dragon race’s gold bloodline?!”

Many experts from the different clans immediately turned around and ran away, fearing that they would get caught up in the disaster too if they stayed too close.

Someone from the dragon race had appeared!

Many were extremely shocked. The dragon race had always been powerful and mysterious. This was the first time many of them had seen a dragon. Furthermore, from the looks of things, it seemed to be the legendary dragon king himself! However, this dragon king seemed to be even more formidable than the legends. He had the power of an earth immortal! No wonder the gold dragon had said that not even the Fiend Emperor would dare to treat the dragon king with disrespect. With that level of power, the dragon king indeed couldn't be looked down on.

Those from the top-level clans thought to themselves that this Zu An youngster was still too rash. Now, he had offended the dragon king, and to the point that they could no longer coexist in this world with each other. It really wasn’t a wise choice.

Meng Jing, King Dai, and the others were overjoyed. They had never expected to have the dragon king as their backer!

Zu An, oh Zu An, you really have no idea when you've gone too far just because you have a bit of strength! This is how a person dies early!

The gazes of all those present shifted to Zu An to see how he would deal with the situation. From the power he had displayed just now, he could even have a fighting chance. But the other side was an earth immortal, and he had the dragon race behind him and the experts of the Ocean races.

What will you bring out to face him?

Unexpectedly, however, Zu An didn’t seem alarmed or puzzled. He calmly replied, “I killed him.”

“You’re courting…” the dragon king began angrily. He was about to say something when his expression stiffened. He asked with a hint of puzzlement, “Regent?”

“That’s me,” Zu An said calmly.

Even though they had never met before, the news of the king court having a new regent was such a huge affair that all of the related intelligence had already been delivered to the dragon king’s hands. The dragon king’s expression changed, and he seemed to be hesitating.

Just then, a female voice seemed to tell him something from nearby. He suddenly smiled and said, “Many years ago, our dragon race had a gold dragon who fell into depravity and deserted us. We did not know where he went all this time, so we thank the regent for helping our dragon race sort out our clan’s issues. When you have the chance, please visit the dragon race's territory. This king will treat you to some good wine as repayment…”

…

After that, the water-like ripples disappeared. The power of the gold dragon bloodline’s main purpose was just to help the dragon race find out who the killer was. It couldn't last long enough to sustain a long-term video call.

The people of the capital were stunned. They could never have expected such a result at all.

The dragon king had come to criticize the murderer ferociously, and yet in the end, he immediately backed off when he recognized Zu An’s identity?

Hello? You’re an earth immortal! Where the hell is your sense of pride and self-respect?

However, what was even more shocking was that previously, they hadn’t really internalized the fact that Zu An was the Fiend races' Regent. The appearance of the gold dragon had further fueled their suspicions. But the Dragon King’s attitude made them all gradually wake up. That regent title didn’t seem to be a mere formality! Even the glorious earth immortal Dragon King had such restraining fears… Zu An really was a king of kings among the Fiend races!

Zu An was also a bit confused. The Dragon King had always been the sort who did what he wanted, and even the Fiend Emperor had to treat him with extra respect. Even if the other side did carry some reservations toward his identity as the Fiend races’ Regent, and thus chose to overlook the matter, it didn’t make sense for him to be so reasonable.

He suddenly recalled the female voice on the other side, but it was too hard to make out exactly who it was.

Could it be that female voice that made his attitude shift?

Is it… her?
