244: You will pay the price if you dare to pretend to be me!

"Monkey Head, you refined it so quickly?"

Somewhere in the sea, a whirlwind gradually subsided.

Yu Mian Fox saw the sea-stabilizing divine needle shrink under the Monkey King's control, and he wielded it with such ease that it had completely become his own treasure. She couldn't help but exclaim, "How did this treasure suddenly become so easy to refine?"

"Just now, weren't you still struggling to destroy the imprint the Dragon King left behind?"

"Before, the imprint left by the Dragon King was indeed very strong."

The Monkey King didn't shy away from this point. He looked at Yu Mian Fox with deep eyes and said, "I tried for a long time and couldn't get it done, but just a few minutes ago, the Dragon King's imprint on it suddenly weakened."

"It even... even disappeared, which is why I was able to refine it so quickly!"

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of the Dragon Palace, his expression incredibly complex.

Beside him, Yu Mian Fox immediately gasped and eagerly asked, "Why would that happen?"

"For this to happen... there's usually only one possibility!"

The Monkey King's gaze shifted, his eyes now filled with solemnity, "That is, the Dragon King is dead!"

"What?"

"The Dragon King is dead?"

This news made Yu Mian Fox even more astonished, and she simply couldn't believe it.

She knew in her heart that the Dragon King was a top-tier powerhouse in this sea area; any sea beast would have to submit to him. Moreover, even with the Purple Golden Bell in hand, the Monkey King wouldn't dare to confront him head-on.

If not for that, the Monkey King wouldn't have resorted to trickery to deceive the Dragon King and steal the sea-stabilizing divine needle!

Who could kill such a powerful Dragon King?

Facing Yu Mian Fox's internal doubts, the Monkey King pondered for a moment, then said, "Heaven and Earth have changed dramatically, and the ancients are resurfacing!"

"In this era, the Dragon King is definitely among the top-tier powerhouses, but... if he encountered some ancient powerhouse and provoked them, then he would be nothing."

He paused, then continued, "Therefore, in this situation, we must develop discreetly and try to accelerate the improvement of our strength so that we can have a place in the future!"

In fact, in the Monkey King's subconscious, there wasn't a single rising figure from later generations who could kill the Dragon King.

And neither of them believed that things would be so coincidental—that he would borrow Xia Fan's identity, and then Xia Fan would immediately go to the Dragon Palace and kill the Dragon King!

..."Rumble!"

"Bang—"

"Run!"

Inside the Dragon Palace, Red Jiaolong had just returned to recuperate and hadn't been calm for long when he suddenly heard the commotion outside the Dragon Palace. He instinctively became angry, "What's going on?"

"Why is it so noisy outside? Do they think I don't exist?"

"Tell them to be quiet!"

Before the Dragon Palace servant could speak, General Halag of the Freedom Country immediately put on a fawning expression and came to Red Jiaolong, saying, "Second Crown Prince, if you are troubled by the noise, our Freedom Country happens to have a technological product that can eliminate noise."

"As long as you wear it, you are guaranteed not to hear any outside sounds and can rest assured!"

"Get out!"

Unexpectedly, Red Jiaolong was currently in a state of agitation. Upon hearing the voice of this tiny human, he didn't even think and directly waved his claw, as if swatting a mosquito.

And this power was terrifying for Halag!

He was merely gently swatted by Red Jiaolong and was slammed heavily against the wall behind him, spitting out blood on the spot!

In front of a fierce beast, the human body was still too frail to offer any effective resistance!

"Second Crown Prince, it's bad!"

Just then, a sea beast rushed in, looking panicked, and reported to Red Jiaolong, "Lord Dragon King has been killed by the Tiger King!"

"Now, the Tiger King has already reached the Dragon Palace!"

"Second Crown Prince, you'd better leave quickly, or you won't be able to escape!"

Rumble!

However, no sooner had the sea beast's words fallen than the palace where Red Jiaolong was located was ripped open from the top by a huge force.

Red Jiaolong, Halag, and others all instinctively looked up.

They saw a Giant Tiger, baring its teeth, coldly scanning Xia Fan, seemingly searching for its prey.

"What's going on? The Dragon Palace... can the Dragon Palace also be breached?"

"And that Tiger King, has he actually become so powerful?"

At this moment, Halag's eyes were filled with horror, especially when he heard the words 'Tiger King,' his whole body trembled.

He remembered that the Tiger King's subordinates had once massacred the Freedom Country, causing it heavy losses. Now that the Tiger King himself had arrived, wouldn't there be nowhere to run?

"How could Father King die?"

Beside him, Red Jiaolong's eyes were filled with disbelief. After all, in his mind, the Golden Dragon King had always been an invincible existence.

What also made him somewhat confused was, wasn't the Tiger King still engaged in that act of theft just now?

Why was he suddenly so ostentatious now?

"You're nothing special!"

Red Jiaolong's thoughts raced. When his gaze fell upon the Giant Tiger above the main hall, boundless rage suddenly erupted in his eyes, "A thief, daring to attack my Dragon Palace?"

"Go to hell!"

In an instant, a terrifying force shot out, and the Tiger King actually retreated repeatedly, seemingly unable to withstand it.

Red Jiaolong noticed this, realizing that the strength this guy displayed was only slightly stronger than his own. He immediately became even more puzzled, "With this strength, he could kill my Father King?"

Rumble!

Just as Red Jiaolong was questioning inwardly, the main hall he was in suddenly collapsed, and the situation of the surrounding sea area immediately came into view, clear as day.

At this time, there were hundreds, even thousands, of such Giant Tigers, now rampaging wildly inside the Dragon Palace.

"This... so many?"

Red Jiaolong was stunned on the spot. After regaining his senses, his heart was already filled with endless despair, "Which one is the real Tiger King? Or... are all of these the real Tiger King?"

Not far away, Halag also looked at all of this with a desperate expression, thinking to himself how unlucky he was; the first time he came to the Dragon Palace for negotiations, he encountered such a situation.

After coming to his senses, Halag immediately rushed to hide behind large pieces of rubble, wanting to quietly sneak out of the place, "Never mind, saving my life is the priority!"

Pfft—

However, after just a few minutes, Halag had just climbed onto a giant rock, about to use it for cover to escape, when a Giant Tiger suddenly dropped down in front of him and, without a word, swatted him with a paw.

Instantly, Halag was turned into a puddle of flesh, losing his life there!

While Xia Fan commanded thousands of clones to attack the Dragon Palace, Magic Cat didn't forget to inquire about the news here.

Now, after hearing from some sea beasts and analyzing it, she quickly came to a conclusion, "Tiger Brother, it seems that not long ago, someone really impersonated you and stole the Dragon Palace's sea-stabilizing divine needle!"

"No wonder the Golden Dragon King thought it was you!" (End of Chapter)
