281: Capturing the Dragon

The treasure rope is the Spirit Treasure 'Binding Spirit Rope', and the iron chain is the 'Binding Dragon Rope'. Both have the characteristic of inevitably binding, unless the Realm is too much higher than the Spirit Treasure, or there is a stronger Spirit Treasure to obstruct, otherwise, they are bound to be tied up.

From the start, Dragon Wu Dao misunderstood the 'Binding Spirit Rope', thinking it was just an ordinary Magic Treasure, so he was arrogant and conceited and was tightly bound by the Binding Spirit Rope.

That's why he said Lu Chen was playing tricks!

Lu Chen naturally couldn't be bothered with him. Following the Binding Spirit Rope, the Binding Dragon Rope also arrived, bringing overwhelming divine chains of order, like an inescapable net, binding Dragon Wu Dao into a zongzi.

Moreover, the Binding Dragon Rope is different from the Binding Spirit Rope. The Binding Spirit Rope only tightly suppresses and binds the bound person's entire body's qi and blood, magic power, and Yang God, while the Binding Dragon Rope will directly bind into the flesh and blood, bit by bit binding into the Yang God and soul, until the bound person is completely obliterated, bound into hundreds or thousands of pieces.

"Boom!" Dragon Wu Dao was indeed Dragon Wu Dao. At this moment, even though he was bound by the Binding Spirit Rope and the Binding Dragon Rope, he was still not completely suppressed. His Bloodline Power erupted, and he suddenly transformed into a golden-red giant dragon. As soon as he manifested, he was thousands of zhang in size.

But almost at the same time that Dragon Wu Dao manifested his dragon body, the Binding Spirit Rope and the Binding Dragon Rope wrapped around Dragon Wu Dao suddenly emitted divine light, and with a boom, they suppressed Dragon Wu Dao from his giant dragon body back into human form.

What was even more terrifying was that the Binding Spirit Rope was continuously binding his Bloodline, magic power, Yang God, and even soul.

And the Binding Dragon Rope was even more brutal, having already directly bound into Dragon Wu Dao's Physical Body, causing dragon blood to flow.

"Damn it..." Dragon Wu Dao was covered in blood, constantly letting out low roars, but he could no longer transform into dragon form, and he couldn't even mobilize his magic power or Bloodline Power.

But this was still not the end.

The Binding Spirit Rope's six Clone Dao Soldiers simultaneously unleashed their Divine Power 'Forbidden God Curse', which fell upon Dragon Wu Dao with a boom, completely immobilizing him on the spot.

Afterward, the Binding Dragon Rope's six Clone Dao Soldiers also simultaneously unleashed the Divine Power 'Absolute Spirit Bind', which became the last straw that broke the camel's back, instantly causing Dragon Wu Dao to fall to the ground, unable to get up.

The entire process was very, very fast, so fast that neither the Demon Clan side nor the Human Race side even had time to react before Dragon Wu Dao was captured by Lu Chen.

Yes, he was already captured. At this moment, Dragon Wu Dao had become meat on Lu Chen's chopping board, to be slaughtered by Lu Chen at will.

"Dragon Wu Dao was captured?!" The Demon Clan side almost instantly exploded into an uproar!

This was too sudden, and too unexpected!

Dragon Wu Dao had stepped out strongly, specifically calling out Lu Chen for a fight. Wasn't it to cut Lu Chen down?

The truth was indeed so. All the Demon Clan's Heavenly Pride thought this way. Dragon Wu Dao, within the Demon Clan, was synonymous with Heavenly Pride, a being who could enter the Nascent Soul Realm at any time, and even had a chance to be listed on the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking!

Cutting down a Lu Chen from Azure Underworld, who was only at the fifth tribulation of Body Refinement Yang Spirit Realm, and whose Qi cultivation hadn't even entered the ranks of Yang God, with such strength, compared to Dragon Wu Dao, the difference was too vast. To put it bluntly, Dragon Wu Dao already had the suspicion of bullying the weak with strength. If Lu Chen didn't have his heaven-reaching Puppet Technique, Dragon Wu Dao would even be embarrassed to challenge Lu Chen in a situation like this, where the Human Race and Demon Clan were about to wage war!

But the result was that before the exchange had even truly begun, Dragon Wu Dao had already lost and been captured, becoming a lamb to be slaughtered in Lu Chen's hands, powerless to turn the tide!

"Damn it, quickly attack and snatch Dragon Wu Dao back!"

In an instant, the Demon Clan boiled over. Some Heavenly Pride from the Red Dragon Clan were anxious and wanted to step forward to rescue him, but there were also other Heavenly Pride from the Demon Clan whose eyes showed strange colors, remaining unmoved, and some even secretly delighted, too many to list.

In contrast, the Human Race side's morale was greatly boosted, and the cheers were like thunder.

"Good! Heavenly Pride Lu is indeed worthy of being the foremost expert in Puppet Technique. A mere Dragon Wu Dao dares to challenge him? He's just seeking his own death!"

"Capturing the Demon Clan's top Heavenly Pride Dragon Wu Dao at the fifth tribulation of Body Refinement Yang God Realm, this Heavenly Pride Lu from Dongming Sect is truly extraordinary!"

"I originally thought that the title of the foremost expert in Azure Underworld's Puppet Technique was just an exaggeration in the cultivation world. Seeing it today, I realize it's indeed true!"

Countless Human Race Heavenly Pride praised him one after another.

Lu Chen's name as a Heavenly Pride had long spread throughout the Northern Frontier, but how strong Lu Chen truly was, and how extraordinary his Puppet Technique was, was unknown to anyone. When Lu Chen accepted Dragon Wu Dao's challenge, the Human Race Heavenly Pride didn't really care. If Lu Chen won, they wouldn't spare their words of praise, and if Lu Chen lost, they wouldn't say anything, anyway, Solitary Pride was there as a backstop.

It was just that these Heavenly Pride had not expected that Lu Chen only made a slight move, and Dragon Wu Dao was already captured alive.

Therefore, the Heavenly Pride on the Human Race side at this moment praised him exceptionally.

"He, won against Dragon Wu Dao?!" Solitary Pride's pupils subconsciously shrank sharply, then quickly returned to normal.

How long had it been?

Twenty breaths?

Dragon Wu Dao was captured alive!

One must know that even if Solitary Pride personally took action, he would only be evenly matched with Dragon Wu Dao. Whether he would win or lose was actually uncertain.

Perhaps he could win once, but he might not be able to win twice.

And Lu Chen, in less than twenty breaths, captured Dragon Wu Dao alive. With such strength, if he were facing not Dragon Wu Dao, but him, Solitary Pride, then the outcome...

In an instant, Solitary Pride fell silent!

Ridiculous, he had actually been worried about Lu Chen earlier!

Looking at Lu Chen again at this moment, he saw that Lu Chen was still standing quietly beside him, from beginning to end, he hadn't moved even half a step!

In other words, Lu Chen didn't even need to personally take action to capture Dragon Wu Dao alive, or even him!

"Azure Underworld has actually produced such an extraordinary Heavenly Pride!" He took a deep breath and no longer spoke.

As for the current strength of the Demon Clan side, Dragon Wu Dao was actually the strongest one, without exception.

Now that the strongest Dragon Wu Dao was captured alive by Lu Chen, the Demon Clan's defeat was set, unless that Golden Crow and the Great Fiend from the Ying Sha Clan took action.

But if these two took action, what awaited them would be those Human Race Great Experts and Great Power who weren't planning to follow martial ethics. They would only die faster!

Above the firmament, as if isolated from the current world, a tall and handsome figure stood quietly. It had golden feathers on its head, noble and extraordinary. Wasn't it from the Emperor Clan, the Golden Crow!

Beside it, there was also a floating black shadow.

"The so-called Dragon Wu Dao who awakened the True Dragon Bloodline is disappointing!" The Golden Crow spoke in a low voice, showing no discernible joy or anger, and even less any emotion of disappointment.

"I have seen Dragon Wu Dao. His strength is not bad. Being captured this time is likely because that Human Race with heaven-reaching Puppet Technique is too difficult to deal with. There's no need to be disappointed!" A soft whisper came from the black shadow.

"Unfortunately, the Demon Immortal said that many Human Race Great Experts and Great Power are hidden here, likely aiming to catch us all in one swoop. Otherwise, I would like to test that Human Race guy with the extraordinary Puppet Technique!" A hint of regret was in the black shadow's voice.

"Since the Human Race is like this, how will the Demon Immortal respond?" The Golden Crow didn't answer, instead asking.

The black shadow said, "Leaving aside the Demon Immortal's side for now, as for this Dragon Wu Dao, should we save him?"

To save him, they would have to face that Human Race, Lu Chen!

"Those old things from the Human Race have ill intentions, let's just watch!" The Golden Crow spoke indifferently, as if he didn't care about the so-called Dragon Wu Dao at all.

Dragon Wu Dao, who revived the True Dragon Bloodline, was indeed extraordinary and had the chance to become a true Heavenly Pride of the Demon Clan in the future, even briefly ascending the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking. But if saving Dragon Wu Dao might drag in him, this Golden Crow Emperor Clan, then it wouldn't be worth it!

It was true that Dragon Wu Dao might grow into a true Heavenly Pride, but he, this Golden Crow Emperor Clan, was not just potentially, but a true Heavenly Pride!

Just the four words Golden Crow Emperor Clan were enough to say it all!

Furthermore, to be defeated by Lu Chen from the Human Race's Dongming Sect using weakness to defeat strength, honestly, Dragon Wu Dao was a bit disappointing!

"I can take action. Even if the Human Race Great Experts truly don't follow martial ethics, they can't do anything to me!" The pitch-black shadow chuckled, and as it moved, it disappeared without a trace.

The Golden Crow watched the disappearing black shadow, its expression gradually turning gloomy.

Above the Jiyuan Sea, Lu Chen waved his hand again.

Instantly, "Boom!" a silver spear shot out, piercing through the Void with a boom. The bound Dragon Wu Dao was enraged, his hair standing on end, but he found that his magic power, Bloodline, and even Yang God had all been imprisoned. He could only watch helplessly as the Qi Water Divine Irrigation Spear pierced through.

But it must be said, Dragon Wu Dao was Dragon Wu Dao. His Physical Body was infused with True Dragon Bloodline, making it terrifyingly powerful.

With the terrifying spear momentum of the Qi Water Divine Irrigation Spear and its nature as a Spirit Treasure, the first spear only broke three inches of Dragon Wu Dao's skull. It wasn't until the second spear was thrust out that Dragon Wu Dao was completely pierced through on the spot.

And almost at the same time, a black shadow emerged from the shadow beneath the Dao Soldier's feet, letting out a strange cry: "Damn it, you made me a step late! Then let this dead thing of yours die first!"

The shadow beneath the Qi Water Divine Irrigation Spear suddenly twisted, as if it was about to come back to life, but for some reason, the black shadow writhed for a long time, yet no movement could be heard. Instead, the Qi Water Divine Irrigation Spear moved with a boom, like thunder and lightning, instantly piercing through the black shadow.

"What the hell, what kind of Puppet is this?" The black shadow, pierced by the spear, instantly scattered by more than half, then became shocked and angry.

Dammit, it's truly damnable.

The Ying Sha Clan's innate technique was to control darkness and shadows. Whether it was living beings or dead things, as long as a shadow was cast, the Ying Sha Clan could control it. Even Magic Treasures and valuable treasures were no exception.

But this damnable Puppet had broken the Ying Sha Clan's innate technique. Not only could the shadow it cast not be controlled by them, but even its own shadow was nearly scattered by this spear.

"Why can't the shadow of this thing be controlled by me?"

In the intangible Three Realms, the shadows cast by all existing beings could be controlled by the Ying Sha Clan. Why was it that this Puppet dead thing alone could not?

Logically speaking, this kind of Puppet that was refined should be even easier to control, right?

"Could it be that this thing is beyond the Three Realms and Five Elements?" This Great Fiend from the Ying Sha Clan was surprised and suspicious.

"So be it!"

He had arrived a step too late after all. Dragon Wu Dao was already dead. Shattering these Puppets into pieces would be of no use. He might as well go and start a massacre among the Human Race.

"Right, the master of that Puppet!"

As soon as the Ying Sha Clan's thought moved, the shadow disappeared without a trace. When it reappeared, it was already within the shadow beneath Lu Chen's feet.

Since he couldn't control the shadows of these strange Puppets, he would just directly kill the master of these Puppets. As long as the master of the Puppets died, the Puppets would be completely dead things.

Moreover, these Puppets were so strange. After he obliterated Lu Chen, the master of these Puppets, he would have to take a good look at what these Puppets actually were.

"Hmm?" Almost at the same time, Lu Chen suddenly felt something and looked at the shadow beneath his feet.

In his shadow, an extra black shadow appeared!

"Heh heh, you stinky bug from the Human Race, are you ready to accept the fear of being dominated by shadows?" The black shadow let out a strange laugh, then moved within Lu Chen's shadow, seemingly trying to stand upright and escape from under Lu Chen's feet.

However, the black shadow moved, but it was useless!

Lu Chen's shadow seemed to be attracted by this world, merged with the square earth, and yet it seemed not to be in this side, but deep in the other shore, mysterious and profound!

The black shadow moved again, still useless!

"This feeling again, damn it!" The Ying Sha Clan was shocked and angry.

It was like this with the dead thing Puppet just now, and it was like this with the master of this Puppet now. They were all so similar, all so beyond control!

"What are you looking at?" Gai Qingfeng, who was beside him, was still in shock that Lu Chen's Puppet had easily pierced and killed Dragon Wu Dao on the spot. After a good while, when he looked at Lu Chen again, he saw Lu Chen frowning as he looked at the shadow beneath his feet, so he asked.

Lu Chen pointed at the shadow beneath his feet: "In my shadow, there's something!"

As soon as these words came out, Gai Qingfeng, Gu Qingtian, Wei Wenlong, and others beside him all looked over. Even Solitary Pride from the Da Yan Holy Land was no exception.

However, upon seeing this, Solitary Pride's expression suddenly changed drastically: "A black shadow? Great Fiend, from the Ying Sha Clan!"

Without the slightest warning, Solitary Pride decisively took action. He raised his hand and drew out a Spirit Treasure sword wrapped in pitch-black lightning from the Void, the 'Lightning Tribulation Heavenly Sword'.

In an instant, the sky changed color, and rolling thunderclouds gathered. Infinite tribulation lightning struck down, all falling into the sword. Then, the Lightning Tribulation Heavenly Sword, carrying the power of tribulation lightning and heaven and earth, plus Sword Intent that seemed capable of tearing apart the firmament, struck down, slashing across the shadow beneath Lu Chen's feet with a boom.

Lu Chen's shadow briefly swayed, then quickly returned to normal, but the shadow within it let out a strange cry: "Solitary Pride, you are courting death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow suddenly dispersed from within Lu Chen's shadow. When it reappeared, it was already within the shadow beneath Solitary Pride's feet.

In the next instant, Solitary Pride's shadow suddenly stood upright, laughing strangely as if mad: "Finally, finally there's a normal one!"

He had had enough of those freaks, like those Puppets, and that master of Puppets, Lu Chen!

He no longer wanted to touch these freaks that couldn't be controlled and inexplicably surpassed common sense.

Within the shadows of these freaks, he, a dignified Great Fiend of the Demon Clan, from the Ying Sha Clan, was completely like a useless person who could only hide in the darkness. Not only could he not borrow any power from the master of the shadow through the shadow, but he really could only be a black shadow.

Utterly useless!

But now, when he entered Solitary Pride's shadow, the familiar feeling finally returned again.

From Solitary Pride's shadow, he felt Solitary Pride's terrifying power, and he also felt...

"Wait, Solitary Pride..." The black shadow suddenly trembled: "He entered the Nascent Soul Realm?!"
