*Flashback*

The leaders watched in shock as these two dragons wreaked havoc. Before they could help the disciples, they heard Tianlong speak in an arctic voice again, "Now that everyone is here, we can begin..." he said as he raised his talons before slamming them down on the ground, killing Mo Guangming.

"No, Ming'er! I'll kill you!" Sect Leader Mo shouted in rage as he charged towards the Elder Dragon. The Grand Elder and Sect Leader of the Mysterious Sword Sects followed after Sect Leader Mo, attacking Tianlong.

*Present*

Sect Leader Mo was the first one to attack Tianlong. He charged at the dragon and attacked with reckless abandon, swinging furiously. Tianlong blocked the blade with his Elder Dragon Bioenergy infused claw and counter-attacked with another. Sect Leader Mo dodged it while attacking recklessly again.

Tianlong's plan was to get Sect Leader Mo to attack recklessly and hopefully land a hit that will put the leader out of the fight for a while and deal with the other two Sky Realm experts. Although Tianlong is at level 130, or Earth Realm Stage 6, he still wasn't confident in dealing with three Sky Realm Experts. Earth Realm, Sky Realm, and Heaven Realm are different from Yellow Realm and Black Realm. There isn't much of a power difference between Yellow Realm and the Black Realm while Earth Realm, Sky Realm, and Heaven Realm get a much bigger power boost.

This is Tianlong's first time dealing with a Sky Realm Expert, much less than three at the same time, so he doesn't know what to expect.

Tianlong caught Sect Leader Mo's overhead slash with his two claw wings, holding the sword like a vise grip. As Sect Leader Mo was struggling to get out the sword, Tianlong's throat and maw started shining an ethereal blue and white and shot out a concentrated beam of energy towards Mo Zhuang.

Tianlong fired his [ Dragon Breath ] attack, but slightly lost his grip on the sword, giving Sect Leader Mo barely enough time to free his sword and dodge the beam of energy. By the time he dodged, the other two Sky Realm experts joined in their brawl.

As the battle between the leaders and the Elder Dragon started to go underway, the battle between Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, and the disciples and the elders was intense. Xiao Bai would attack the disciples and the elders with her bubbles while Xiao Hei would charge at them, making the two dragons a perfect tag team. The disciples and the elders wouldn't be able to move as quickly when covered in Xiao Bai's bubbly fluid and would be hit by either Xiao Hei charging at them or the occasional concentrated water beam from Xiao Bai.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai would make quick work of the disciples while the Elders would be a little trickier, but they were still able to defeat them.

Meanwhile, the battle between the leaders was getting more intense, Tianlong could barely keep up with the three Sky Realm experts, occasionally being cut, but wasn't life-threatening. While Tianlong was on the defensive, he would sometimes counter attack and would get some hits on the Sky Realm experts, but wasn't able to incapacitate them from the battle.

While the three experts surrounded Tianlong, he decided to use the new skill he created during the fight with the Blood-Devouring Wolves. Tianlong gathered the Elder Dragon Bioenergy throughout his body before pushing it out at once, creating an explosion around him and used his [ Elder Dragon Explosion ] attack. The experts were blown back, it was too sudden for them to block, damaging their organs.

Sect Leader Mo was blown back towards Xiao Hei. Mo Zhuang had a vicious light in his eye as he turned his body in the air, using the momentum from the explosion to carry his body to the side of Xiao Hei, cutting off her horn and half her tail, making her scream in pain and rage.

"NOOO!" Tianlong yelled as looked towards his injured subordinate, not noticing he used his [ Intimidating Roar ] skill when he yelled.

Tianlong froze in place as he looked at the down figure of his subordinate. "Xiao Hei..." He felt mad. He felt angry. He felt his rage burning. It wouldn't stop unless he saw Mo Zhuang dead at his feet.

Unknown to him, Tianlong's body started to change. His appearance was no longer the ethereal blue and white it usually was. His torso started to glow a hot red and orange as if to signify his immense rage. The ends of his wings and dragon paws started to grow an angry orange. His face twisted to show the hatred he felt for the world.

Tianlong stood up on his back legs and spread his tattered wings as far as he could and screamed out an ear piercing, angry roar.

*ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAR*

"STUPID HUMANS! I"LL KILL YOU ALLLLLL!" Tianlong bellowed out, making the surviving disciples and elders cover their ears, some of the weaker ones fainted.

Never in his time as an Elder Dragon, he felt so much hatred, he finally felt what it was like to go in the [ Enraged ] state that every monster in monster hunter has. He felt like he could go up against the world, it was amazing and... addicting.

Tianlong charged at the now paled face of Sect Leader Mo with twice as much speed as before, attacking him with his new fiery orange claws. Mo Zhuang barely blocked with his sword before kneeling down on one knee, grunting in pain as he faced Tianlong's new power. Tianlong charged a hot red and orange [ Dragon Energy Bomb ] and fired it to the downed form of Sect Leader Mo.

The [ Dragon Energy Bomb ] directly hit Sect Leader Mo, exploding on contact, pushing his body over 10 meters before rolling to a stop.

Tianlong slowly stalked to Mo Zhuang, as a lion would a gazelle. Looking at the miserable form of the once handsome and elegant Sect Leader Mo, his clothes and skin were burned and blistered, his hair was disheveled and singed. Tianlong looked Sect Leader Mo in his eyes while holding down his struggling body with his winged claw, firing a hot red and orange [ Dragon Breath ] at Mo Zhuang, killing him.

The remaining disciples and elders looked on in horror as the evil dragon, in their minds, killed their Sect Leader Mo. It was too fast for any of them to save him. Elder Liu of Cloud Dragon Acadamy and the Sect Leader of the Mysterious Sword Sect looked on with a grim-faced. They knew that Sect Leader Mo was stronger than them and for Tianlong to kill him in a short amount of time meant that the dragon was even stronger now.

Their various thoughts were cut short as Tianlong was slowing turning his head to look at the group with his glowing malice filled orange eyes.
