114: The Holy Dragon! (Two-in-One)

"If you have the courage, then come to Spirit City...!!!"

Lion Douluo spat out some harsh words, but before he could finish, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His Soul Power wavered, and he nearly fell from the sky!

A single claw strike from the Sacred Giant Dragon had nearly cost him his life!

This level of power definitely reached the level of a Rank 99 Titled Douluo.

Of course, the most crucial part was that this bastard was playing the pig to eat the tiger and launched a sneak attack!

Lion Douluo stared intently at the Sacred Giant Dragon, which was dozens of meters long and radiating golden light. The sacred Aura emanating from its body gave him a sense of dread.

"Roar...!!!"

The Sacred Giant Dragon suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a long roar.

With a dragon's roar, the sacred light spread further, and the entire World seemed to be bathed in a golden glow.

It was as if it had become the only thing in this World.

Lion Douluo didn't dare stay any longer and fled wildly in the direction he had come from.

If he stayed any longer, he might truly be suppressed by the opponent!

He looked back as he fled, terrified that the Sacred Giant Dragon would pursue him.

However, the Sacred Giant Dragon made no move.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. By the time he came to his senses, he didn't know how far he had flown; he had already passed Nuoding City.

He descended from the sky and stopped on the official road.

Lion Douluo looked at his bare torso, covered in tiny wounds that were bleeding out, as if his entire body could collapse at any moment!

"Pfft...!!!"

He couldn't help but cough up blood again.

He hurriedly sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing.

The injuries had already spread to his internal organs!

If left untreated, his internal organs would likely be consumed by fire!

"The Azure Dragon Temple is actually a Sacred Giant Dragon... No wonder it caused such a stir. Bibi Dong's failure is understandable now..."

"After I get back, I must have Big Brother reclaim my honor for me!"

"Also, I can't go back to Xiao Heng's side anymore; it's too embarrassing. It's a pity I couldn't continue talking with them!"

Lion Douluo spoke with a hint of regret, his face flushing even redder.

He had left with an imposing Aura, even asking the other party to warm up some wine.

And the result?

He was severely injured by a single claw from the Sacred Giant Dragon, nearly losing his life right there!

Fortunately, he ran fast!

...Lion Douluo didn't know that his desperate flight just now had actually caught the attention of many people.

Hu Liena and the other two looked up at the sky. Lion Douluo had just streaked across above like a meteor, vanishing in an instant.

Meanwhile, in the direction of Azure Dragon Mountain, the Aura of the Sacred Giant Dragon was erupting.

They could guess without even thinking that Lion Douluo must have been beaten to make him flee... "It should... it should be the Lion Worship Protector, right?"

Yan swallowed hard and said awkwardly.

"It seems it really was..." Xie Yue nodded. That Aura was unmistakable; it was Lion Douluo.

Hu Liena's expression shifted. Lion Douluo was a protector of the Spirit Hall, ranked in the top five in strength, yet he was repelled so easily?

How long had he even been there?

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an instant defeat, right?

Hu Liena grit her teeth, turned around, and said, "Let's go! Let's check on the Lion Worship Protector's condition and see if he needs our help!"

Yan didn't follow. He frowned and said, "Nana, shouldn't we stay away? If Lion Douluo is fleeing because of a heavy injury, we might not catch up. Besides, if we witness the Lion Worship Protector's embarrassment, would it..."

Xie Yue also nodded in agreement. "That's right, Nana. We shouldn't go. The Hall of Worship and Her Holiness the Supreme Pontiff are on bad terms, so he might not want to see us. At most, we can send a few Spirit Masters; they'll be faster than us anyway..."

Hu Liena was silent for a moment, then glanced again in Lion Douluo's direction.

While they were talking, Lion Douluo had already become a small black dot and soon vanished completely.

"Fine, he... should be alright." Hu Liena's lips twitched slightly.

A few seconds later, Hu Liena couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Yan and Xie Yue looked at each other and couldn't hold it back either, both letting out laughs.

"Hahaha...!"

They clutched their stomachs and laughed.

Each louder than the last.

Hu Liena nudged Yan, rubbed her face to stop laughing, and said, "Alright! Let's act like nothing happened today. If Lion Douluo finds out we're laughing at him and word gets out, who knows what he might do."

Yan sneered, "What else can he do? Aside from bullying us, could he possibly trouble the Azure Dragon Temple? Fleeing in such a pathetic state now—it's truly embarrassing!"

Xie Yue coughed to stop Yan and shook his head. "Alright, you two... do you want to go see that dragon?"

His words immediately caught the attention of the other two.

It easily defeated Lion Douluo and even scared him into running away; just how formidable must the Sacred Giant Dragon be?

Hu Liena went silent for a moment, then nodded. "Okay. We... we're doing this to know the enemy and ourselves, so we can win a hundred battles!"

"Right, right, right...!"

Yan immediately agreed.

Thus, the three of them turned around and headed toward Azure Dragon Mountain... "Whoosh...!!!"

A golden light flashed across the sky.

City Lord Xiao was stunned for a moment. He rubbed his eyes and looked toward where it had vanished, wondering, "Why do I feel like that was a person?"

Dragon Duke Meng Shu's brows rose, and he suddenly began to laugh.

"Your perception is correct. That was indeed a person, and an acquaintance at that! It was Lion Douluo!"

Dragon Duke Meng Shu set City Lord Xiao down and was no longer in a hurry.

City Lord Xiao's brow furrowed. "Why is he running so fast?"

"Judging by my experience, he must have encountered a powerhouse he couldn't contend with... Hmm, it probably wasn't the Azure Dragon Divine Lord or the High Priest who made a move."

Dragon Duke Meng Shu said with a chuckle.

City Lord Xiao's eyes widened. "You're saying... that was Lion Douluo? He... isn't he a Titled Douluo? And he just passed by our place!"

City Lord Xiao found it hard to understand. In his eyes, a Titled Douluo was the strongest Spirit Master in the World!

How could he be defeated and flee so quickly and urgently?

Dragon Duke Meng Shu curled his lips in a smile and turned toward Azure Dragon Mountain. "A Titled Douluo is strong, but could they be stronger than a deity?"

He looked toward Azure Dragon Mountain, where golden light shone brilliantly and the roar of a dragon could be heard.

"!!!" City Lord Xiao hurriedly caught up, his face still filled with disbelief.

This all happened too fast.

He had thought the Insurgent Army was facing its greatest crisis.

In the end, Lion Douluo took the initiative to seek out the Azure Dragon Temple, only to be scared away?

It was just as Dragon Duke Meng Shu had said—there was absolutely no need to worry?!

City Lord Xiao said sheepishly, "If the Divine Lord—no, if the High Priest is willing to openly support the Insurgent Army, then we will surely be victorious!"

"And now? Even without open support."

Dragon Duke Meng Shu asked.

"We can still win! It's only a matter of time! If the Divine Lord can easily drive away a Titled Douluo without even using his full power, who in this World could stop our Insurgent Army once he truly takes action?!"

City Lord Xiao pumped his fist, his face flushed with extreme excitement.

Dragon Duke Meng Shu smiled faintly and shook his head, though his eyes were also filled with hope.

"Then let's wish ourselves a victorious start!"

...At the foot of Azure Dragon Mountain.

Yu Mengzhang's Divine Soul emerged from the Sacred Giant Dragon's body, bringing Dragon Qi with it, some of which was naturally left behind.

For Luo San Pao, this was enough to save him centuries of bitter cultivation!

The Sacred Giant Dragon's body emitted a dazzling golden light and began to shrink rapidly, from dozens of meters down to about two meters.

Finally, it turned into a small ball of light. As the light dissipated, it revealed the scene within.

It was Luo San Pao, who had now transformed into a completely golden form!

The Single-Horned Thunder Dragon ran over and gave Luo San Pao's head a vigorous lick.

Suddenly, Luo San Pao's light almost vanished.

"Luo-luo...!" Luo San Pao hopped a few times on the spot, very excited.

This was like an advance on becoming a Sacred Giant Dragon; it had experienced its future power ahead of time!

It faced Azure Dragon Mountain and knelt. Although it had no expression, its piety was palpable.

On the mountain and the roads, pairs of eyes watched it in surprise.

"Amazing! A little pig... or a puppy, could actually turn into a giant dragon! As expected of Azure Dragon Mountain! The Divine Lord has manifested his power!"

"Good heavens! Who says a pig or a dog can't become a dragon? This must be the Divine Lord's Protector Divine Beast!"

"The Divine Beast has driven away the villain!"

"..."

Someone organized the crowd, and soon even more people knelt, grateful for Yu Mengzhang's kindness.

Yu Mengzhang floated in mid-air, listening to the surrounding voices, unmoved.

He could feel that Luo San Pao seemed to sense his presence.

It suddenly turned its body and knelt toward him again.

Yu Mengzhang floated down and came before Luo San Pao.

Luo San Pao immediately lowered its head, letting Yu Mengzhang stroke its large head.

Yu Mengzhang's lips curled slightly as he stroked its fur.

As his palm brushed over, he left another strand of Dragon Qi for it.

At this moment, Luo San Pao's body suddenly underwent a change. Its fur was actually falling off, and beneath the fur was a thin layer of scales!

At the same time, its body elongated slightly, transforming toward a "lizard-like" physique.

"Luo-luo...!!!"

Luo San Pao let out a cry of joy.

At this time, Hu Liena's group of three and Dragon Duke Meng Shu's pair arrived one after another, just in time to see from afar the Sacred Giant Dragon turning back into Luo San Pao, their expressions varying.

Yan was dumbfounded and said in shock, "That mighty Sacred Giant Dragon just now actually turned into this?"

"That's such a huge contrast! Or am I hallucinating?"

Yan rubbed his eyes, unable to comprehend.

Hu Liena shook her head slightly. It wasn't a hallucination. An ordinary Spirit Beast could actually turn into a Sacred Giant Dragon and easily defeat Lion Douluo!

"It's actually this little guy?"

Dragon Duke Meng Shu was slightly surprised. He had seen Luo San Pao at the entrance of Nuoding Academy and had even taught Yu Xiaogang a lesson because of it.

He didn't expect to see Luo San Pao again, and in such a situation.

A weak Spirit Beast could actually transform into a Sacred Giant Dragon!

This was a miracle that shattered all common knowledge!

"He looks a bit like..."

City Lord Xiao's brow furrowed, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands. "I remember now! He looks like Master Yu's Spirit! He mentioned it to me before!"

Luo San Pao heard City Lord Xiao's words and immediately let out warning "Luo-luo" sounds toward them, clearly very dissatisfied.

It was an independent Spirit Beast now!

It would never have anything to do with that scumbag again!

Stay away!

City Lord Xiao was startled. This little thing was already a Thousand-Year Spirit Beast now, equivalent to a Spirit Elder, and was quite formidable!

Dragon Duke Meng Shu sighed, "If only I could have taken it away back then."

A powerful Spirit Beast that could turn into a Sacred Giant Dragon!

If it became the Family's mountain-protecting Divine Beast, wouldn't it ensure prosperity for ten thousand years?

These words caused City Lord Xiao's eyes to flash... A few days later.

Yu Xiaogang was already able to get out of bed. Under City Lord Xiao's "meticulous" care, not only had his body recovered, but his mind had as well.

He felt that his disgraceful display at the execution ground had been erased by time.

He was about to have Tang San help him out the door.

City Lord Xiao came in from outside. Seeing that Yu Xiaogang could come out on his own, a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face.

"Master Yu! This is wonderful; I've been looking forward to this day for so long!"

City Lord Xiao immediately stepped forward to support Yu Xiaogang's other side.

A smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face, and his eyes showed that he was quite enjoying this.

See, his title as a Great Master was still useful!

Even City Lord Xiao valued a talent like him!

"City Lord Xiao, I also wanted to recover quickly so I could provide some help to the Insurgent Army's cause," Yu Xiaogang said with a smile.

City Lord Xiao immediately "scolded" him, saying, "Master Yu's presence in the Insurgent Army is the greatest help. If the army's affairs delayed your recovery, that would be the real trouble!"

"By the way, I wonder about Master Yu's Spirit..."

City Lord Xiao mentioned Luo San Pao with a smile.

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened. "That beast...! Did City Lord Xiao see it?"

He grabbed City Lord Xiao's arm, becoming extremely agitated.

City Lord Xiao nodded. "That's right. Master Yu must have seen the sacred Aura that erupted from the direction of Azure Dragon Mountain a few days ago, right?"

"Yes." Yu Xiaogang nodded, then suddenly thought of something, and his expression instantly turned ugly.

The color quickly drained from his face.

Yu Xiaogang swallowed hard and stared intently at City Lord Xiao, asking:

"City Lord Xiao, you don't mean that..."

"I saw it with my own eyes. Master Yu's Spirit turned into a Sacred Giant Dragon and drove away Lion Douluo. So I thought, if Master Yu were to step forward, would that Spirit..."

"Master Yu! What's wrong, Master Yu?"

City Lord Xiao was dumbfounded. Upon hearing his words, Yu Xiaogang's eyes rolled back, and he directly fainted!

"Quickly, call a doctor!!!"

City Lord Xiao shouted urgently.

Immediately, someone rushed in to treat Yu Xiaogang, while someone else took the opportunity to report to City Lord Xiao that someone was looking for him.

City Lord Xiao stepped out the door, feeling puzzled.

It was Viscount Spike... "Brother Xiao! I hope you've been well! Don't worry, I'm not here to make things difficult for you. On the contrary, I'm here to join you!"

Viscount Spike said with a loud laugh.

"What do you mean?" City Lord Xiao frowned slightly.

Viscount Spike said, "I know your ambitions, Brother Xiao, so I've come to lend you a hand! To buy time for the Insurgent Army..."

...One year later.

City Lord Xiao climbed Azure Dragon Mountain and met secretly with Yu Mengzhang.

"High Priest, our Insurgent Army is ready. It's time to launch the uprising. This is the information we've gathered on all the wicked nobles in the surrounding area..."

City Lord Xiao presented the intelligence to Yu Mengzhang; it was over a foot thick!

Yu Mengzhang gave a hum of acknowledgment and raised an eyebrow slightly. Since everything was prepared here, it was time for him to visit Spirit City... He still remembered his Karma with Lion Douluo.
