"It's going to take time to get used to it. So don't worry." Xue Long said that to Hu Liena who was having trouble controlling her new fluffy tail.
The Prince was stroking the feathers of the bird along the way.
For a few seconds his blonde maid was confused seeing the majestic bird her Prince was holding but she quickly got over it and nodded at him.
"Understood! My Prince! I am going to meditate on this after we get back to the capital." Hu Liena said that with a nod. Her fox tail moved from one side to another.
The prince smiled back at her with a nod.
Sure enough, everyone was ready to move out back to Heavenly Dou Capital. Since Xue Long had the bird he can go back now.
As everyone was flying back, the Emerald Swan was using prince head as a nest since both of his hands were busy holding the maids.
The prince's eyebrow twitched from the arrogance of the bird! he is going to pay back some way at this beautiful bird.
However, their flight was intercepted by a blast of purple and black energy, which passed them…
Moments later an individual was floating in front of them.
It was an incredibly beautiful woman with dark purple long hair and deep purple eyes. She was emitting a black miasmic aura.
"Release that Emerald Swan at once! Or I am not going to be kind, human." The woman said with fury as one can see that she has pair of blackish purple draconic wings.
"...T-That's a Great Beast!!!" Snake Lance's eyes widened in horror as he realised that in front of them was a beast with age being around at least 100 thousand years old!
"The Emerald Swan belongs to me. And you will be as well if you insist on complaining." Xue Long plainly said that which only made Dugu Bo and Snake Lance Douluo horrified. They are truly ready to face such being…
"YOU! Golden Dragon King or not! I will not allow you to take the Emerald Swan away!!!"
"Very well. Let's fight then." As he said that he started to descend on the ground.
The dark purple-haired woman snorted and followed after him.
Once on the ground, he motioned for the pair of maids to get away from him they took the Emerald Swan away as well.
The purple-haired woman followed the maids with an unreadable look. Her deep purple eyes stayed extra long on the silver-haired maid.
"Well, what is your name? I don't mind beating up nameless people but this situation is different."
"Zi Ji, Abyss Demon Dragon." She said that with a distasteful look as she prepared to beat up this arrogant prince who inherited the Golden Dragon King Martial Spirit.
How dare he! She is not a pet! A smirk appeared on her face. Once she beats up this brat and brings him to Silver Dragon King, she will be awarded! AND praised!
Now with a new objective in mind, she internally pumped herself up to fight this human brat!
"A Dragon eh? Well, I won't going to use my Martial Spirit, it would be considered cheating." He said that as he rolled up his sleeves.
"Then it will be your undoing!" As she said that she lunged forward, and a crater appeared where she kick off the ground!
Her fist collided with Xue Long's, creating another crater from the sheer force of the explosion underneath their feet.
Zi Ji's eyes widened for a second. When she saw that this kid went for direct contact!
'How can such a small frame generate this much force!?'
The fourth prince slighly took a few steps back as he was outpowered at this moment.
'Heh, so I am slightly weaker than 270 thousand-year-old dragon. Good to know. And I didn't even use my martial arts yet!'
"You are strong. I like you even more now." As the prince said that white mist started to appear around his fists and he proceeded to attack again.
The purple-haired dragoness clicked her tongue hearing how he is not even taking her presence seriously yet.
'We going to see how you going to like when your flesh will fall off your bones!' Internally she already imagined melting a portion of his body away!
She answered back with her attack. But, he grabbed her fist and pulled her in. This made her lose balance in gravity and fall forward. Next moment she received and palm strike right between her considerable assets.
That moment Zi Ji's eyes widened as she felt how her whole being got rattled…hard.
She quickly took some distance away from him. And coughed hard several times.
'W-What was that!? It's like my body got turned inside out!'
"As expected from a dragon! You are strong!" He lunged forward once again, and The purple-haired dragoness tried to fight back but her fighting style is extremely basic. Pure force is something Xue Long can run cycles around!
So, palm strike after palm strike, he started to seriously hurt the Abyss Demon Dragon.
'This is not good! How is he this good!? He is just a child!!!' Before long Zi Ji had to block an extremely powerful kick to her neck as it send her skidding back a multitude of metres.
"You blocked Boundless Fist of Clouds! Got damn!" Xue Long exclaimed as his right leg was missing part of his pants as they were shredded off from the last collision.
"I knew that it was not absolute, since my understanding hasn't reached that point. But this is amazing!" The happy prince happily said that as he started to get even more giddy.
Though… The purple-haired Dragoness has sweat started rolling down her forehead. As she felt how her arm was extremely numb. She was pretty sure that if she was a second late with her positioning her arm would have been dislocated!
"Why are you treating this as some sort of practice!? I am trying to kill you!" She exclaimed with an angry tone. As her eyes turned draconic and the air and ground around her turned black from acid she emitted through her Spirit Energy.
"Kill me? Do you think you can kill me?" He asked her as if they are two people from different realities with values so different that it didn't make any sense.
At this moment Xue Long didn't even see her as a threat… in the first place.
"Let me show you… how deep is the gap between us." As he said that he got serious. His eyes turned red showing his draconic nature.
As he took his stance Yin and Yang symbol manifested underneath his feet as well as behind him.
Zi Ji felt how reality around her was warped as the next moment when Xue Long stomped his left foot he was already in front of her!
'He warped space!? No…time too!?' Before she can raise her hand to block another palm strike which was imbued with white and blue mist. The collision happened it sounded like a hammer just smashed into soft flesh.
***OOF***
What followed next was Xue Long turning to the side as the way the fighting style was built was to anticipate her movement long ago and he did just that! The way the Dragoness moved was exactly how the style dictated!
Her counter missed and next was struck with elbow in the same place where he struck before.
This time Zi Ji had to take multiple steps back as she collapsed on the ground.
She felt like her organs going to explode! And he only struck her a few times!
***Cough***Cough***Cough***
"Tai Chi Boundless Fists. When they work together I could kill you in five strikes." As he said that he took a stance which showed her to come and get him.
Seeing such an arrogant look made her snap.
"Ahhh!!! I will tear you to pieces you little human brat!!!" As she lunged forward losing all her reason she looked even more draconic with her hands turning into her dragon counterpart.
The pair of Titled Douluo's who watched this had sweaty foreheads as the amount of energy they sensed from this woman was utterly horrifying for them!
But what the funny thing was about this was that Zi Ji moved just like the style predicted. It was a literal 'kata' movement. As he moved back very last second made the Dragoness for a short second confused! She was pretty sure her speed was at maximum and even beyond because of her frenzy effect!
However… what she got back was a double palm strike in her gut and solar plexus!
This time she coughed out blood as this was the third strike which followed after was the fourth strike which was a backhand one into her head.
Sending her flying away.
That moment Zi Ji felt that her vision was starting to get cloudy.
'This is…impossible… he is not even Titled Douluo! How I am losing like this!?'
Slowly she tried to stand up but her legs were not properly functioning.
'No… how… me… of all… to be beaten like this…' As she thought about this she saw the brat human who had Golden Dragon King Martial spirit standing in front of her and looking down as at this moment she was on her knees trying to stand up.
"The fifth strike would be at your heart which would send a chain reaction through all your organs. They would erupt and you would die.
Physically you are still stronger than me. But that's about it. You lack techniques which could utilise your draconic nature. Your acidic inborn abilities are powerful but you have no idea how to use them. Except for spreading out mindlessly."
As he said that he grabbed her chin and made her look at him. His red draconic eyes looked at her deep purple ones.
"This is why you will be coming with me. From now on you are mine. Little Dragon. And if you want to complain then at least get better first."
"..."
"..."
She stared at him for a few moments.
"...Fine…*Cough* though this isn't over…"
"No, it's not. It's never over, a hurdle one after another. Otherwise, it would be boring…yes?"
"...You…are… one…insane human…" The purple-haired Dragoness said between breaths. No wonder she lost against this… human…or is it human? She has no idea. But she is sure it's not Spirit Beast or human. Human is something she killed quite a bit. And this… this thing is not human.
"I am a dragon. A Golden Dragon King." As the Prince said that behind him a golden figure of a Dragon appeared which was looking down on Zi Ji.
"Hahaha *Cough* I see… makes sense…" After saying that she closed her eyes and was about to collapse on the ground. But Xue Long captured her and picked her up.
~~~
While the exchange… well more like one-sided beat down was happening between Xue Long and the Abyss Demon Dragon the prince's companions were able to witness the true power of Tai Chi Boundless Fist. The power of martial Arts which were invented to fight humans in the first place!
"...How to defend against something like this? He predicted and acted before she even countered! It's like a puppet show!" Snake Lance who never had a chance to fight against this style was honestly terrified to face something like this!
He knew this Spirit Beast was more powerful than he is, but the Prince demolished this dragon woman!
There was no competition!
"Her acid didn't work either on him. It appears his physique has improved alot as well." Dugu Bo said as he was secretly awed by the sheer dominance martial arts can give in a fight!
He now definitely needs to develop his style!
While the maids finally knew why Xue Long is so… cautious when he teaches this style.
The sheer damage it brings is absurd! Rupturing organs from palm strikes?
Sure they saw him fighting spirit beasts and killing them casually but that was because of the sheer gap in strength! This fight was different! The spirit beast was at least 100 thousand years old!
Yet, the dominance of this style only showed its true power!
However… this begs the question…where did he learn this!?
