Warrior's Promise
chapter-1838

The Five Claw Golden Dragon was a few hundred meters long as it body glittered with dazzling golden light. Its scales were golden, its dragon whiskers were golden, its claws were golden in addition to the golden horns it had. No one could help being mesmerized by it.

Every part of Long Teng shone with bright golden light, blinding those that stared directly at him. It was as though there was a mysterious ancient force and energy that rolled out of his body.

At that point, Dragon Force which was more than a few times denser than the Great Demon Dragon Fighting Soul soared out to a few kilometers wide and surged up to the nine heavens.

This was the real Dragon Force of a real dragon. The boundless, mystifying and grand aura that it held also had a deep, strange, mysterious sense that left hearts out of chests as everyone stared at it in awe.

The moment the Great Demon Dragon saw the Five Claw Golden Dragon, its speed instantly dipped drastically as the real Divine Dragon forces crushed it.

As its large mouth opened wide, a terrifying, bone-chilling roar sounded and shook the earth.

At the same time, a boundless Dragon Force swept out from the Five Claw Golden Dragon’s mouth like an invisible soundwave, as though it was a shockwave from a nuclear strike that could wipe out everything in its path.

Under the dragon breath, the massive Haze Dragon’s aura was wiped out and instantly turned into dust.

The dragon breath continued on its path towards Leng Xie at the speed of light.

“What?” Leng Xie’s face instantly fell as soon as he saw the dragon breath. He involuntarily sucked in a cold breath with Long Teng’s strength.

The rumors did not lie. The Five Claw Golden Dragon was exceptionally strong.

With the dragon breath and the invisible aura about to sweep him, Leng Xie retreated backward continuously as he struck out with his hand.

“Sun Moon Holy Palm!”

With a loud yell, Leng Xie attacked with his fist with an even stronger force. Boundless Yin energy gathered together to form a massive Fist Print.

Like a 100,000 foot tall mountain, the fist print solidified and was strong as it harbored a shocking wave of aura. A sky full of Yin energy instantly turned the air inside the mountain to be icy-cold.

The fist attack was incredibly strong, comparable to, and perhaps even stronger than, the attack of a regular Martial Sage.

With forces that seemed to destroy everything in its path, it instantly struck against the dragon breath.

Boom boom boom!!

Explosions erupted unstoppably as the massive haze fist print instantly crumbled apart and broke into pieces from the horrifying dragon breath.

A mass of invisible dragon breath followed the Yin energy and rolled out in all directions through the nine heavens.

Shoosh!

Leng Xie retreated backward unstoppably as he was thrown back by the rush of shock. The bright red sash of the red robe he wore was torn apart into pieces of shredded clothing as his body fell limply in exhaustion.

However, he did not care about tidying his appearance at all as his heart had hit rock bottom.

Long Teng was far too strong. So strong such that a single breath of his had almost crushed him in defeat.

Everyone who witnessed the scene held their breaths in shock at the unimaginable powers of the Five Claw Golden Dragon. It did live up to its name.

Yin Shen’s face also fell as he knew inwardly that Leng Xie would definitely die.

However, he wasn’t too disappointed. In the situation that his cultivation rank was lower, it would be practically impossible to defeat a Five Claw Golden Dragon.

Not to mention Leng Xie. There was virtually no one who could defeat a Five Claw Golden Dragon while being lower in cultivation rank than him.

Those who could scrape through a spar with one were few in number.

Su Mo’s eyes brightened as he grinned inwardly. Long Teng was indeed incredible.

In a few years of not seeing each other, Long Teng’s strength had increased superbly.

Long Teng should be the strongest among all of the Nine Palace Masters. That was the honor of his tribe.

Roar!

A clear, loud dragon roar reverberated through the sky as the Five Claw Golden Dragon waved its tail and shot out towards Leng Xie.

The shining dragon claws of it were as hard as steel as it appeared to be able to tear apart stars. Long Teng directly swung it out at Leng Xie without hesitation.

Vast Dragon Might rolled out through the sky and crushed the air, causing Leng Xie to struggle to breathe.

On the dragon claw, a light golden dragon force circled around it like the roaring of a long river.

Leng Xie’s Great Demon Dragon Fighting Soul aura dropped dramatically against the most royal Five Claw Golden Dragon of the Dragon Tribe, as though it had met its arch enemy.

Covering almost a one thousand foot radius, the Dragon claw swung down at the speed of light, leaving no room for Leng Xie to dodge it.

“Get lost!”

In the blink of an eye, Leng Xie roared out in rage as he mobilized the strongest force he could muster.

“Dark River Spear!”

Leng Xie pointed a finger into the air as fast as lightning for a mass of Yin Energy to flow through his finger and transform into a ten thousand foot long spear.

This spear stretched out of Leng Xie’s hand and appeared as hard as steel, as though it was rooted to his finger. Great auras surged around it and it was evidently stronger than the Sun Moon Holy Palm that he had used before.

Boom!

A deafening explosion sounded as the longspear’s spear-tip struck the dragon claw. Like a collision between 2 stars, the empty space jerked violently.

In the next moment, a shocking scene appeared.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Explosions sounded unstoppably as the 10,000 foot long Dark River Spear broke apart into pieces continuously.

With nature-defying energy, the massive dragon claw destroyed the long spear layer by layer.

“What?” Leng Xie’s eyes bulged out in surprise as his heart jumped in shock. His attack was the strongest attack of the Sun Moon Tribe forbidden arts but it was still no match for Long Teng.

At that point, Leng Xie knew that he was definitely going to lose. It was practically impossible for him to dodge the dragon claw.

He could only retrieve his Fighting Soul as quickly as he could before the dragon claw grabbed his body strongly.

“Let go of me, you win…!” Leng Xie opened his mouth and admitted that he had lost.

Yet, before he could finish his words, the dragon claw around him squeezed together tightly and pressed on his body.

Crack crack crack!

The sounds of bones cracking sounded out like a crack of thunder.

Ah!

Leng Xie screamed coldly as his body erupted like a flower. Almost half of the bones in his body cracked apart and fresh blood spurted out of his mouth as his internal organs ruptured apart.

Everyone who witnessed the scene froze in their spots. No one had expected Long Teng to be so ruthless.

After all, it was a simple fight and there wasn’t any deep grudge between the two.

Even Long Shen and Long Ao were utterly surprised. Long Teng was usually calm and it seemed like a whole new person had taken over him when he battled against Leng Xie.

“Stop it!”

A cold voice echoed through the sky as Yin Shen stood up in a flash with a face as black as water.

However, before Yin Shen acted, the vice-like grip that Long Teng had around Leng Xie loosened.

Bright light flashed through the air as the massive Five Claw Golden Dragon transformed back into Long Teng’s human figure.

“I am sorry that I acted roughly!” Long Teng gripped Leng Xie’s hand, wearing an apologetic expression. He had not killed the latter.

Although he could have easily killed Leng Xie, he definitely could not at the scene he was in now or the consequences would be drastic.

Most importantly, Su Mo had not indicated to him to kill Leng Xie.

“You…. Urgh!” Leng Xie’s heart boiled with rage, but the moment he opened his mouth to speak, a stream of blood spurted out of it.

The him at that point was completely pitiful as his body was contorted out of shape from the numerous bones that had been broken.

Luckily for him, he was a Rank 9 Martial Honorable and in addition to the Divine Elixirs and Fighting Soul that he had, he wasn’t in too much trouble.

“I didn’t expect that you would be so weak. You should hurry to recuperate!” Long Teng uttered in a low voice.

“Damn it!” Leng Xie shouted out in rage at Long Teng’s words. However, his injuries were too serious and he could not argue with Long Teng further as he limped out of the White Jade Mountain.

Very quickly, Leng Xie returned to the stands and sat down in exhaustion beside Yin Shen.

Without another word, he retrieved an elixir and gulped it down in a flash as he began to heal himself.

Silence wiped the scene. It wasn’t out of anyone’s expectations that Leng Xie would lose. However, wasn’t it too cruel of Long Teng to have crushed him?

Nonetheless, Leng Xie had voluntarily challenged Long Teng. Who could he blame?

Yin Shen and the group of Sun Moon Tribe members all had blackened faces. It was acceptable for them that Leng Xie had lost, but the cruel methods of Long Teng virtually slapped them in the face.

After a long moment of silence, Yin Shen stared at the White Jade Mountain and shouted, “The Five Claw Golden Dragon lives up to its name. It is an unrivalled existence in the circumstances of its cultivation rank being superior to its opponent.”

Yin Shen’s loud voice reverberated through the air as he put emphasis on the fact that Long Teng was of a higher cultivation rank than Leng Xie.

He purposely reminded everyone that Long Teng had defeated Leng Xie easily not because Leng Xie was weak, but because Long Teng was of a higher cultivation rank than Leng Xie.

Everyone nodded their heads silently. The Five Claw Golden Dragon was indeed an unrivalled existence with its cultivation rank being higher than his opponent’s.

Su Mo sat down quietly as a malicious grin curled up his lips. Leng Xie was too arrogant, this could be considered a lesson for him.

Fan Yunsheng, on the other hand, wanted to chase after Qingxuan and he had to be taught a heavy lesson as well.

However, these were side matters. Killing Mo Xiao and completing the Myriad World Mountain mission was of greatest importance.

Yet, before Gao Haoran and the others acted, Su Mo would not make a move.
