The Fall?...

The dragon warrior immediately stepped back, glancing slightly at Zhong, already stretching out his hand to the side, preparing to summon his spear at any moment. The Black Dragon only grins, looking at Zilong, just as arrogantly as if he didnt even regard him as a threat. Just ... as a hindrance

"Don't worry, I am not going to fight you. Well At least that's not my original goal."

Zhong moved closer to the warrior, raising two palms to show that he really isn't going to attack.

"Are you want to try to transfer me to your side? That will not work!"

Zilong immediately prepared his words, stepping back aside

"You said the exact same thing about Cyan Finch. Only your whole body is in such a depressing state and it's because of him."

"Didn't you set him on me?!"

"I didn't make anyone do anything,  he himself said that he would kill you, and I didn't interfere with that. That is all. You just can't admit that he hates you so much "

Black Dragon said, while grinning slightly, as he stood up proudly. He was looking at the Dragon's successor, as if he would soon burn with rage.

"You don't know him as much as I know him… Ling is not like that."

"He himself doesn't not know who he is, how do you know about it then?"

There was a silence between the two of them. Zilong was still glaring at Zhong, and he, in turn, softened his glare a little, but that didn't last for to long.

"Weidan made you weak, helpless and pitiful. You don't understand how strong you could be now if it weren't for that conservative old man, he even gave you a different name..."

"I already said before, you can't fool me like that! Enough, I've had enough of this pointless conversation, just tell me where is Ling?!"

"The Great Dragon is fooling you, but I couldn't say the same for myself, Yun Zhao."

"What?..."

"Let me guess, the old man told you that this is the name that your parents gave to you? I mean, at least in some way he didn't lie."

"What do you mean?!"

Shouts Warrior of the East, finally, summoning his faithful weapon - the Spear of the Dragon.

"Should you tighten it straight or a little?"

Still mocked him, Zhong, watching his reaction.

"Straight!"

"You are my son, Zilong."

There was an abrupt silence. He looked at the Black Dragon with a dumbfounded look, while on the other hand Zhong looked absolutely calm, as if he said that it was cloudy outside at the moment.

"Nice joke Zhong, I am the only one who remembers who my father was ‐

"Your Father is an artisan who loved to travel, mother is one of the Dragon Tamers who has given up her activities because of her family. The wagon was caught in a storm. You were 10 years old back then . Unfortunately, your mother died in this tragedy. I have been looking for you, for quite a long time, but I never imagined, that you will find yourself in the clutches of this old man who is blinded, by the thirst for power."

Zilong was taken back. He gripped the hilt of his spear tightly, looking angry but at the same time shocked at man in front of him.

He could not believe a single word of the Black Dragon. No, not after the way he tricked Wan Wan ...

Man bared his teeth and looked again at the Dragon standing in front of him.

"And you think that I will believe any of this?? If I was really your son, you would've said this a lot earlier, but you didn't , damn it, instead you fight me in full strength, almost breaking my ribs. After everything you have done, even if you really were my father, I would never forgive you for everything that you did!"

"How do you imagine it? You always hang out with the Oriental Fighters, how will they react when they find out who you really are, huh? Are you really sure I fought with you with all my strength? You don't know how strong I am. Before you accuse me of anything, stop trusting Weidan so much and look at his actions from a different perspective . The world is two-faced, Yun. Your "pretty" Great Dragon -

"Stop it!"

Zilong shouted sharply, interrupting Zhong and grabbing himself head with one hand.

"Enough! I've had enough of these lies! You're just trying to confuse me! Not even in your dreams, I won't give up!"

Sharply, in the head of the brown-haired man, other people's voices echoed ...

"Yun honey, whatever happens - never back down, even if you're afraid."

"Mother says that whatever happens, remember that you are very strong and that you can overcome any difficulties on your way."

The warrior became numb, his face acquired new colors: he was afraid that what he said could somehow turn out to be the truth,  he hated that it could also be a lie ...

"Well, do you believe me, Zilong? Or should I say Yun Zhao? "

Grinning, he asked the brown-haired man, watching his sudden violent reaction

"No... I will never believe you!"

In an instant, Zilong was in front of Yu Zhong, swinging his spear.

Clank

Fighter of the East immediately stepped back, holding onto the wound on his shoulder with his free hand, which immediately began to hurt as soon as he swung his spear.

"L-ling?!"

The voice of the fighter faltered. The former rage, vanishing as soon as short white strands of hair flashed before his eyes.

The Black Dragon just calmly stepped aside, as if he was leaving everything to the Finch.

"You really shouldn't have come here ..."

Said the white-haired calmly, getting into a fighting pose

"Ling, please listen to me, I don't want to fight against you. I just want to help you."

"I wonder how could you even help me? Will you give way to your successor? Don't be silly, Yun. You can not help me, I have already began walking ... on the path with no return. Weidan would never forgive me.. I am a traitor...

"You don't even know how I want to help and you are already saying that it is impossible? Ling, please ..."

Saying all this, the dragon warrior came closer to Finch, gradually relaxing his hand, letting the spear disappear. He was planing to convince Finch until he agrees to accept his offer to help.

"Stand still!"

Ling immediately shouts at him, tightening his grip on his sword . He was visibly nervous.

"You thought that confessing to me, would fix everything at once ?! Why did you even do that?! You fucking stand in front of someone who wants to cut your throat to hell!"

"You don't really want to do that, Ling. After all, if you really wanted to kill me, you would have done it a long time ago, and would not aim at the safest places on my body ..."

Brown-haired man, despite Finch's sharp words , continued to approach him closer and closer.

"I know you can still get back to your original form, Ling, with the Dragon Force just fine. I'm sure Weidan will forgive you if you come back."

"O-one more step, and believe me, I will kill you!"

The voice of the assassin treacherously trembled, because of which Zilong, at first was dumbfounded, feeling sadness taking over him, he looked straight into those amethyst eyes. Ling was completely in confusion

"Why... Why are you stubbornly coming to me ?! I did told you to stand still! You know that I can kill you!"

"I trust you."

Yun smiled softly as he stepped forward.

Ling reflexively made a blow with his blade, thereby thrusting it directly into the body of well known  brown haired man, piercing him through. Naturally, if Zilong was in armor, Ling would not have been able to do it so easily, but right now the guy was wearing only a traditional Tangzhuang shirt of light green color, the fabric of which is easy for such a sharp blade to break through...

Zilong grimaced in pain, although , not long after that, his facial expression became completely relaxed, slowly, letting out a hoarse sigh, his eyes began to roll backwards,  his whole body became very weak, unable to keep him stand on his own feet.

Finch could not believe his own eyes. He couldn't believe what just happened  until the guy's body crashed on the ground with a thump ...
