973. A Strong Attack on Dragon Island
The Northern Dragon King transmitted his voice to the distant Eastern Dragon Island. His voice was like a tangible sound wave, affecting everyone below the level of a Dou Sheng even with the barrier of the great formation. Many members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan below the Dou Sheng level were experiencing ringing ears and extreme discomfort from the sound waves.
This scene lasted only a moment before two figures flew out from among the many powerful figures from Donglong Island who were protecting Zi Yan.
Lei Jingxiao and Wei Jiangyuan had already met these two men; they were the true leaders of Donglong Island—Elder Qingmu and Second Elder Qingshan.
Because the old Dragon Emperor is still considered the legitimate ruler, and the currently appearing Zi Yan is the new emperor, there is no Dragon King on East Dragon Island.
The Grand Elder, Aoki, whose strength had also reached the early stage of a three-star Dou Sheng, immediately released his Dou Qi to block the Northern Dragon King's sonic attack.
His face was ashen, filled with rage. He pointed at the three men and shouted, "Traitors! The Dragon Emperor himself is right here! What do you want now?"
Upon hearing this, the Western Dragon King laughed arrogantly: "What for? Naturally, to unify the dragon race!"
"We don't want to be led by a little kid. We know she hasn't finished absorbing the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit yet. Hand her over obediently. We're all clansmen, so let's not make things too ugly." The Southern Dragon King said, his eyes greedy as he looked in the direction of Zi Yan.
Elder Qingshan immediately said, "Now that Her Majesty has obtained the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, once she has fully absorbed its power, she will become the second dragon in history to absorb the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. That will be the moment when our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan truly becomes unified and powerful."
"You three, instead of protecting His Majesty, are doing this kind of thing. If His Majesty the Dragon Emperor is truly harmed because of you, you will become the greatest sinners of the Ancient Dragon Clan!"
"We wouldn't say much if you wanted to dominate the area normally, but now that things have come to this, I advise you to turn back as soon as possible!"
Elder Qingshan was so agitated that veins bulged as he spoke. If it weren't for the difference in strength, he would have already attacked the three of them.
"Elder Qingshan, we don't want the Dragon Clan to fight amongst themselves and let the Heavenly Demon Phoenix or the Nine Nether Earth Python get the benefits for nothing."
The Northern Dragon King spoke calmly, as if he genuinely wanted to have a proper discussion: "Hand over your niece, Zi Yan. With our protection, the Ancient Dragon of the Void can reunite today!"
Elder Qingshan sneered, "Very well, then I'll trouble you to wait three more days. After three days, everything will be fine. How about that?"
Upon hearing this answer, the Northern Dragon King's eyes narrowed. He knew, of course, that Zi Yan had absorbed the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit to its final moment.
His real goal was to kill Zi Yan while she had absorbed all the energy but was not yet able to fully utilize it, and then devour her blood to obtain the power of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.
The energy contained within this Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit is powerful enough that any member of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan or the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan who obtains it will receive an extremely terrifying boost. When the Heavenly Demon Phoenix obtained one, its strength increased dramatically, and it completely suppressed the Ancient Void Dragon Clan for a short period. If the Ancient Void Dragon Clan hadn't also obtained one later, and if the two powerful figures hadn't perished together, then the Heavenly Demon Phoenix would now be the number one magical beast on the continent.
And precisely because of this, if Zi Yan were given three days, their lives might depend on her whims. The Northern Dragon King not only didn't want to be at Zi Yan's mercy, but also hoped to control the power of the Dragon Emperor's Origin Fruit and become a hero of the Ancient Dragon Clan.
"Since that's your mindset, then don't blame us for being ruthless. Attack!"
With the Northern Dragon King's command, the numerous elite dragons behind him also attacked in unison. Their colorful battle aura surged like a tidal wave, creating a tremendous force as they bombarded the protective array of Eastern Dragon Island.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—
The deafening bombardment continued, and under the relentless bombardment of battle qi, although the protective array of Donglong Island did not collapse, it fluctuated violently, its light and shadow shifting, clearly indicating that it was under tremendous pressure.
Elder Qingmu glanced at Zi Yan's location, then gritted his teeth and ordered the many experts from Donglong Island, "We can't let them interfere with His Majesty's breakthrough! Let's all work together to relieve the pressure on the great formation!"
Despite the vast difference in strength, the dragon clan members who were willing to stay on Donglong Island were extremely loyal. With a mindset of certain death, they closely followed Elder Qingmu out of the formation and fought against their opponents with all their might!
Just before Qingmu leaped out of the great formation, he also transmitted his voice to Lei Jingxiao and Wei Jiangyuan: "Gentlemen, the rise and fall of the Dragon Clan depends on this day. My Donglong Island is truly powerless to escort you away. Fortunately, you two are of noble status, and they should not attack you during the great battle. You can take this opportunity to leave. If Donglong Island cannot escape today, I, Qingmu, can only repay the kindness of gifting the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit in my next life."
Upon hearing this telepathic message, Lei Jingxiao couldn't contain his emotions and anxiously asked Wei Jiangyuan, "Hey Wei, what do we do?"
Wei Jiangyuan took a slow breath, remaining calm, and said, "You, kid, first carefully observe the surrounding situation and choose the best location. I'll take Ziyan with me, and we'll run together as fast as we can!"
After saying that, Wei Jiangyuan added, as if worried that Lei Jingxiao might make a mistake, "Trust me, once we leave, the pressure on their side will immediately decrease."
"Okay!" The two had worked together for so long that they had naturally developed a tacit understanding. Lei Jingxiao knew that, regardless of whether he would gain any advantages by acting with Wei Jiangyuan, he would most likely not suffer any losses.
Above Donglong Island, the island's experts had only managed to engage about half of their enemies before becoming powerless, and were deliberately surrounded due to being outnumbered. However, the remaining three powerful figures from Donglong Island clearly had the upper hand and showed no intention of killing them.
Looking at the surrounded Elders Qingmu and Qingshan, and then glancing in the direction of Ziyan, the Northern Dragon King patiently persuaded them, "You two are also elders of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. As long as you are willing to surrender now, I can guarantee that your status will not be worse than it is now after I unify the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan."
"Northern Dragon King, don't think we don't know what you're up to. Even if you all betray the dragon race for your own benefit, my Eastern Dragon Island is still willing to die for the old and new Dragon Emperors!"
"That's right, the Grand Elder is correct!"
"They are merely members of a collateral branch; how dare they utter such grand pronouncements about unifying the dragon race?"
"When the new Dragon Emperor finishes his seclusion, it will be their death day!"
Seeing the fierce resistance and unyielding spirit of these powerful figures from Donglong Island, the Northern Dragon King finally showed impatience.
"Stubborn and unruly, how can I not lead the dragon race!"
