Chapter 1837: 1837
Long Xiaoxuan was eager to fight, but his job was to bait these men, not engage them .
He was confident in his ability to go against every one of them except the demigod forefather . However, if all of them charged at him together, he’d have no choice but to flee .
Thus, he wasn’t going to make a move now .
Dragons weren’t the fastest species, but that was relative to the fastest races of the heavenly planes . Compared to humans, dragons held a great advantage .
When Long Xiaoxuan traveled at his peak speed, only Forefather Goldenbell was able to surpass him . The other seven men were having difficulty catching up .
The forefather was surprised by the dragon’s reaction . It’d clearly noticed them .
“It’s discovered us . After it!” He was a little antsy . They’d alerted their prey before even reaching their spots, which would undoubtedly make capturing the dragon more difficult .
Fortunately, he was fast and could overtake the dragon by a small margin .
He took the lead while his seven companions struggled to keep up . Their plan depended on them catching up with the forefather and getting at least a few hits in . He wouldn’t have to honor his oath if they didn’t help at all .
Their hearts raced anxiously, worried that they wouldn’t get anything in the end .
Long Xiaoxuan had drawn up a detailed plan with Jiang Chen and the Vermilion Bird beforehand . He turned to see that the forefather was indeed on his own . The other seven were lagging far behind .
The time was about right .
He suddenly dove for the ground . Forefather Goldenbell cackled and raised his arms . Suddenly, an enormous golden bell materialized behind him and flew at the dragon with tremendous might and speed . It radiated terrifying power and threatened to burn the air as it fell .
Long Xiaoxuan started . The forefather was indeed extraordinary .
Even he felt his blood boil under the bell’s might . If it’d been a little closer, the bell could’ve trapped him successfully .
The bell was the forefather’s most prized treasure . The magical item could devour the air and consume heaven and earth . Its power was terrifying .
The dragon didn’t dare get careless . With a flash, he transformed himself into the size of a mustard seed and vanished from thin air .
This concealment method was unique to dragons, but the bell was very powerful . Although he’d turned himself infinitely smaller, it was still able to detect him and chase him doggedly .
The forefather broke into a feral grin, impressed by the dragon’s ability . This is indeed a descendent of the true dragons . What an amazing technique of stealth! However, that’s not enough for it to lose me . I’ll trap and overpower it!
The forefather was eager to capture the dragon before the others caught up . Then the oath would be rendered obsolete .
His rewards were only promised to those who helped . If he captured the dragon on his own, he didn’t have to give them a single stone .
“Surrender! No matter how you try to hide, you can’t escape . ” The forefather strengthened his consciousness further, tapping into the full tracking power of the bell .
It rang and made a series of ear-piercing notes, threatening to cover the entire area .
Suddenly, something registered on the forefather’s consciousness, a trace of apprehension flashed through his mind . He steadied himself, surveying his surroundings cautiously .
Unexpectedly, the area around him burst into flames, as if the air was filled with oil . An ocean of fire circled around him .
The forefather started, caught off guard by the unnatural phenomenon . How could the air combust on its own?!
“What’s going on?” His hackles raised .
As he anxiously scan for dangers, the air cracked and out came an enormous claw . It slashed at the forefather’s face aggressively .
Its destructive power reached the forefather in the blink of an eye .
“Piss off!” The forefather threw two punches, sending strong torrents of boxing air at the enormous claw .
He’d thought his full might would be able to knock the strange claw awry, but to his shock, the claw wasn’t even delayed for long before it came at him again .
The next hit was even more powerful than the last .
The forefather broke into a cold sweat . He hadn’t expected the bizarre claw to contain such terrifying power!
He threw many more punches trying to deter it, but every attempt ended in disappointment . Despite the great force he put into the punches, he couldn’t knock the claw off its trajectory at all .
To make things worse, another claw split through the air and slashed at him with enough might to destroy heaven and earth .
The slashes from both directions left him with no way to escape . Even he lost his composure in the face of such relentless attacks .
From the blazing sea of fire emerged the Vermilion Bird . It rose from the flames, radiating the might of its bloodline .
The forefather’s heart sank and he sweated so profusely that he drenched his clothes . Could it be a vermilion bird?!
He was experienced enough to readily recognize the burning divine spirit as the mythical vermilion bird .
Among the four divine beasts, he’d seen both a true dragon and vermilion bird today . Naturally he was more than a little shocked .
More importantly, the Vermilion Bird wasn’t an unknown quantity .
He immediately recalled the rumors about Eternal Divine Nation and how their sacred land had emerged victorious . Was this the divine beast that had helped them turn the tide?
