104: Qinglong is about to cry from feeling wronged!
Seeing that its health was already below twenty million, Azure Dragon hesitated.
It had no way to cause much damage to Lin Yue in long-range combat, and although its melee damage was high, it couldn't withstand Lin Yue's terrifying recovery ability.
If the fight continued like this, defeat would only be a matter of time.
Did it really have to use the Power of the Divine Beast?
Unlike Phoenix, Azure Dragon's speed would increase significantly after using the Power of the Divine Beast.
Not to mention Lin Yue being unable to hit it, even if he did, it wouldn't be afraid; the Power of the Azure Dragon not only granted insane movement speed but also a massive increase in attack power.
As long as it unleashed the Power of the Divine Beast, it even had the confidence to instant-kill Lin Yue.
"Brother Dragon, don't be foolish. Di Jiang is here."
A violent aura erupted from Azure Dragon's body, but just as it was about to cheat, White Tiger's voice drifted over.
"What!"
Ignoring its shock, it immediately dispersed the Power of the Azure Dragon swirling around its body. Glancing over, it indeed spotted Di Jiang's figure.
*Hiss!*
Azure Dragon secretly took a sharp breath; if it weren't for White Tiger's reminder, it might have truly made a mistake.
"When did this Di Jiang arrive? What are you guys doing? Didn't you know to stop him?"
While continuously dodging Lin Yue's attacks, Azure Dragon asked with a frown.
"Brother Dragon, I didn't want this either, but Di Jiang has something on us, and with his strength, we couldn't stop him."
White Tiger actually felt quite aggrieved; Di Jiang had been manipulating space for many years and was elusive. Even if the Four Divine Beasts were together, it would be difficult to detect Di Jiang's presence.
"Damn it, of all the times to show up, he chose this moment."
Di Jiang was the guardian of the Secret Realm, at the same level as the Four Divine Beasts. For a moment, Azure Dragon really didn't have much of a way to deal with him.
Violent thunder in the Void Realm continued to leap about, frantically chasing Azure Dragon's footsteps.
Although Azure Dragon was fast, it would still get hit occasionally because Lin Yue's speed wasn't slow either.
Seeing its health dwindling, Azure Dragon became increasingly anxious. Having stayed in the ruins for so long, it didn't know that people from the outside world had become so monstrous.
A mere level twenty Adventurer could actually beat it to this extent.
At this thought, the proud Azure Dragon had to admit that as the Person of Destiny, Lin Yue's strength was indeed very formidable.
Thus, in an instant, Azure Dragon made a decision that seemed pathetic but was very wise.
"Person of Destiny, I'm not fighting anymore."
Azure Dragon leaped back several meters, its gaze toward Lin Yue filled with complexity.
"Not fighting anymore?"
Lin Yue paused instinctively, the Spell in his hand temporarily interrupted.
"What do you mean? You can just stop fighting?"
"I'm done. I have no grudge or enmity with you; there's no need to fight to the death."
With a look of resentment, Azure Dragon lowered its head and admitted defeat.
It had no choice; it wasn't like the Phoenix, who could Rebirth from Ashes.
If it were defeated by Lin Yue here, its Origin Qi would be greatly damaged.
Getting injured was one thing, but it couldn't bear the loss of Face. It was better to find a way out while the outcome was still undecided.
Lin Yue hadn't seen many situations like this; theoretically, in this kind of ruin trial, one should fight until the end.
"How does this count? Did I pass?"
"Correct, you have passed my trial."
The next second, Lin Yue also received a System notification.
"Ding! Congratulations on passing Azure Dragon's trial. You have obtained chaos jade butterfly fragment +1."
Looking at the System notification, it was impossible for Lin Yue not to be speechless. The battle with Azure Dragon hadn't lasted long.
Seeing that he was about to defeat the opponent, they suddenly surrendered. It was like having everything ready only for your girlfriend to tell you her 'relative' had arrived; this shitty feeling made Lin Yue very unhappy.
"Wait, you just stop when you say so? Do Divine Beasts have no class at all?"
Lin Yue frowned. He still wanted to stack more health. After all, at this stage, there weren't many monsters that could withstand his output, and he hadn't had his fill of fighting yet.
"I already said I'm done. What more do you want? I'm getting old, and my body isn't as good as you young people's anymore."
Azure Dragon pretended not to hear Lin Yue's mockery and transformed into the form of an old man, finding an excuse for itself instead.
"Wait, I think the Person of Destiny has a point. As a Divine Beast, how can you just stop fighting whenever you want? I don't agree."
Before Lin Yue could speak, Di Jiang couldn't help himself. He appeared on the battlefield with a Flash, his eyes full of playfulness and dissatisfaction.
Only then did Lin Yue realize that the old man had arrived at some unknown time.
"Old man, didn't you go back?"
"Young Man, I originally wanted to go back, but some beasts don't follow the rules, and I can't stand idly by."
The old man's gaze lingered on Azure Dragon, his Face overflowing with mockery.
"You old geezer, what do you mean? Who are you calling a beast?"
Being called a beast, even with Azure Dragon's relatively good temper, it couldn't help but shout back.
It was a Divine Beast!
Did it have no dignity at all?
"What, do you want me to expose you? Did you think this old man was blind when you were planning to use the Power of the Azure Dragon just now?"
With that, Di Jiang waved his hand in the air, and the scene of Azure Dragon secretly attempting to use the Power of the Azure Dragon was magnified infinitely.
Lin Yue also realized now. No wonder he felt the green light on Azure Dragon's body was dangerous; it wasn't his imagination, but the opponent truly intended to use power that transcended the rules.
Seeing its little trick exposed, Azure Dragon's arrogant aura vanished instantly. It said with a forced smile, "Hehe, Mr. Di Jiang, let's not talk about this."
After all, Azure Dragon was in the wrong. Although it hadn't fully unleashed it, it had still violated the rules.
"Humph, you Four Divine Beasts are in cahoots. If Lord Chaos finds out about this, you'll all be in big trouble."
Di Jiang didn't give Azure Dragon any Face, maintaining a very tough stance.
Hearing Lord Chaos, Azure Dragon panicked for once and quickly shouted, "Mr. Di Jiang, please spare me. I will surely repay you handsomely."
"No need. You continue fighting with the Young Man; I'll be watching."
Di Jiang waved his hand, rejecting Azure Dragon's proposal.
"We're still fighting?!"
Azure Dragon was in a bind now. If the fight continued, it was truly destined to lose.
With Di Jiang supervising, it certainly wouldn't dare use any other power. Fighting Lin Yue under such circumstances and losing would be a total disgrace for a Divine Beast.
"If you don't want to fight, there is a way."
Lin Yue spoke up now, a faint smile on his Face.
"Tell me, tell me."
As if grasping at a lifesaver, Azure Dragon looked at Lin Yue expectantly.
"Look, quite a bit of my equipment is damaged, and I've consumed a lot of mana. You should show some sincerity."
When Lin Yue fought the Phoenix earlier, over a dozen pieces of purple equipment alone had shattered. Those were all gold coins.
He couldn't just do a quest and end up losing money out of his own pocket.
Looking at Lin Yue's faint smile, Azure Dragon really wanted to complain: What does the equipment you broke fighting Phoenix have to do with me, Azure Dragon?
But with Di Jiang watching right there, and wanting to save some Face, it would be hard to end this without sacrificing some 'meat'.
"I'll give it, I'll give it, alright?"
Azure Dragon wanted to cry but had no tears. It reluctantly pulled out a Skill Book.
