Chapter 29: The Beast King Appears, Divine Dragon Intervenes!
The sky darkened, lightning flashed, and torrential rain poured down.
An evil Jiao dragon surged from the clouds, its presence an oppressive force from the heavens.
"Damn! It's the Beast King Jiao! The Two-Tailed White Fox is in danger!"
"Not good! After using a large-scale skill, the Two-Tailed White Fox must be severely drained, unable to fight the Jiao!"
The Grandmaster Roc screeched and hurried to assist; the City Lord's Golden Tiger also broke off its battle with the eight grandmaster snake demons, racing toward the wall.
The Beast King Jiao was their opponent!
Unfortunately, they were too far to intervene in time.
The city guard on the battlefield were filled with dread, wishing they could be the ones targeted by the Jiao.
The Two-Tailed White Fox was panting heavily, exhausted, having exerted sixty percent of its mental power to control tens of thousands of demon snakes over an extensive area.
Yet Xiao Ye remained calm, "A grandmaster-level Jiao, peak of the ninth grandmaster rank?"
In the grandmaster realm, mastery of innate skills to the utmost creates a realm, enhancing one's skills while diminishing those of opponents.
The grandmaster rank is divided into nine levels, with the first being the weakest and the ninth the strongest. The Beast King Jiao was at grandmaster ninth rank!
A ninth rank against a grandmaster ninth rank—Xiao Ye might have fled, but against the Jiao, he felt no fear!
A battle between a Jiao and a supreme golden dragon was not about rank, but bloodline.
"Rumble!"
Lightning flashed, and the sky darkened further as torrential rain soaked all summoned beasts.
The evil aura-laden black Jiao spiraled down, its black eyes filled with rage, the Two-Tailed White Fox reflected within them.
"Little creature, you bear the scent of my son. Did you kill him?"
"Prepare to die!!!"
**[Ultimate Water Thunder Cannon: Harnesses cloud power to form a massively explosive water cannon, capable of area attacks]**
"Boom!" The black cloud above was harnessed, a colossal black water cannon with a diameter of a hundred meters shot toward the White Fox through the air!
A terrifying force, seemingly with world-ending power!
"Siyao, it's our turn!"
As the Two-Tailed White Fox spoke, it and Nangong Siyao behind the wall simultaneously activated the SSS-level Five-Clawed Golden Dragon template's contract power.
"Roar!!!"
A melodic and clear dragon roar echoed from behind the wall, resonating through the battlefield.
A radiant light shone from the sky, dispelling darkness and chill.
Dark clouds receded, and thunder diminished.
A golden divine dragon radiating sacred light appeared,
Rabbit eyes, deer antlers, bull mouth, camel head, tiger paws, eagle claws, fish scales, snake body!
The golden dragon hovered behind the wall, its golden vertical pupils exuding immense pressure.
**[Water Element Mastery: As the name implies, you are the master of water elements, holding absolute control over water]**
Seeing the hundred-meter water cannon approaching, the golden dragon internally commanded: "Disassemble!"
An invisible wave shot from the golden pupils, hitting the terrifying water cannon, instantly causing the highly compressed water elements to disassemble.
"Boom!" The colossal water cannon exploded in mid-air under everyone's gaze, turning into mere water droplets and scattering.
"A dragon! A real dragon, my goodness, I'm seeing a real dragon!"
"Wow! So powerful? A ninth rank standing against a grandmaster Beast King, that's a divine dragon!"
"Yaoyao, it must be Yaoyao's summoned beast, reaching ninth rank so quickly!"
The city guard, having cleared the demon snakes, stared dumbfounded at the golden dragon, while even the grandmaster summoned beasts and grandmaster snake demons paused, easing the battle.
At this moment, the Three-Toed Golden Dragon captured everyone's attention!
The Beast King Jiao, seeing the divine dragon appear and effortlessly disassemble the ultimate water cannon, was shocked, its eyes wide.
"A dragon? No! I refuse to believe it! A century ago, I understood from my bloodline inheritance that true dragons no longer exist!"
"You must be fake!"
The Beast King Jiao hovered mid-air, eyeing the golden dragon with a hint of panic but denying its existence with each word.
Yet the dragon's mastery over water elements and its pronounced features made the Jiao doubt whether true dragons existed!
"Ninth rank? Hmph! Dragon or worm, we'll see after we fight." True to its nature, the Beast King Jiao quickly steadied its mind.
Dragon or worm, a ninth rank? Worthless trash!
Without reaching grandmaster status, one remains an ant!
Grandmaster Realm **[Ultimate Water Grenade: Power increased tenfold, weakens enemy skill effects]**
"Roar!" The Jiao roared, its scales emitting a foul, evil aura, drawing the black cloud above once more.
"Boom!!"
The sky's hundred-thousand-square-meter black cloud compressed violently, forming a highly volatile, half-meter-diameter explosive water bomb.
The air around the explosive water bomb shattered, hissing ominously.
The faces of the Grandmaster Roc and Golden Tiger changed dramatically.
This water bomb could level all of Mangyuan Base City!
"We can't let it fall!" The two exchanged glances, and the Roc screeched, charging forward to prematurely detonate the ultimate water bomb!
"Courting death!" The evil black Jiao sneered, shooting toward the Roc, closing the distance in a breath, lashing out with its tail.
"Boom!" With a sonic boom, the Roc was struck by the evil black Jiao's tail, spewing blood, plummeting like an arrow to the ground.
In a single encounter, the city lord was defeated!
The City Lord's summoned beast, the Golden Tiger, was aghast; a grandmaster eighth-rank Roc stood no chance against a grandmaster ninth-rank Jiao.
The power disparity was over threefold!
"Pavilion Master!" "Pavilion Master!" The city guard was furious yet helpless.
"Long live the king!" "The king will prevail!" "The king's might!"
The eight grandmaster snake demons cheered, jubilant, while the four grandmaster summoned beasts' faces darkened with rage, longing to flay them alive.
The Golden Tiger caught the falling Roc, assessing its injuries: severe, with less than a third of its combat power remaining!
"Chirp!!"
"Help me up, I can still fight!"
The Roc screeched, coughing black blood, struggling to flap its wings, determined to rejoin the battle.
"Go again, and you'll die." The Golden Tiger spoke, its voice heavy and sorrowful, "Our base city, this is the end!"
"Even in death, I'll fight. Guarding this base city all my life, you want me to give up? Never!" The Roc roared in fury.
Today, if the Jiao isn't stopped, Mangyuan Base City will fall! Both knew this well.
"Tch!" The Beast King Jiao sneered, its aura spreading, "Let the fall of your base city honor my son!"
"Let this ninth-rank insect's death prove true dragons no longer exist!"
"Whoosh!"
The sky's half-meter-diameter ultimate black
water bomb plummeted, trailing a long white flame.
If it were named, the Jiao, versed in human history, would call it "Little Black Child."
