Chapter 1999 - 1999 Black Dragon Tours the Island (3)
Why would such a majestic, fierce, and powerful Black Dragon, have a bulging lump on its head between its two horns?
It was as if it had not fully matured, and a third horn was about to burst out.
The phantom of the Demonic Emperor Black Dragon that had appeared in the Yunlun Mountain Range before did not have this bulge…
“Very well, Xu Xiaoshou,” said the Demonic Emperor Black Dragon, “I have come for you, to present you with a treasure.”
Thud!
Upon hearing these words, Rao Yaoyao, Yan Wuse, and Situ Yongren felt their hearts skip a beat.
The second true body, on the other hand, seemed to have found a glimmer of light in the darkest hour and suddenly glowed with vitality.
He was about to express his gratitude when the Demonic Emperor Black Dragon’s tone took a sharp turn:
“But your ember aura is truly repulsive!”
“So, here’s the deal: if you succeed in countering one strike from me, I’ll gift you the treasure, along with fulfilling one wish for you.”
“But should you fail, you shall die.”
Huh?
Aside from the second true body and Xu Xiaoshou.
Even Rao, Yan, Situ, and all the others before the Thousand Mile Mirror Technique were left bewildered by this dramatic turn of events.
Some were delighted, others distressed.
“But… why?” the second true body’s eyes welled with tears as he struggled to speak.
Why did it turn out like this once again?
Why were the injured ones always the clones, the second true bodies, and the like… They were also human, deserving of their rights!
“Ke-haw-haw-haw, blame it on the Great Infernal Ancestor!”
The Demonic Emperor Black Dragon let out a sinister chuckle, raising its head.
This motion seemed to tug at the lump on its head, causing it to wrinkle. Immediately, the Demonic Emperor Black Dragon’s features contorted into a menacing and fierce look.
“Ah, ah, ah!”
“Great Infernal Ancestor, I will definitely kill you! Definitely!”
Xu Xiaoshou got the picture.
Could it be… that lump… was caused by the blows from the Great Infernal Ancestor?
He was lost in thought when the second true body took over:
Its grievance with the Great Infernal Ancestor should not be directed towards a mere second true body!
If it had to involve others, it should be someone’s true body!
Someone: “Shut up.”
Second true body: “…”
Not only was his train of thought forcibly halted, but he was also commanded to speak: “If I survive, can any of my wishes really come true?”
“Anything in the world is possible!” the Demonic Emperor Black Dragon proclaimed proudly, treading the Path Principles, its words echoing through the void.
“What if my wish is something like, ‘I wish for two wishes’?”
“…”
As the words left his lips, silence engulfed the island.
From its snout, the Demonic Emperor Black Dragon exhaled two long streams of aura. Its gaze seemed capable of shattering Xu Xiaoshou into fragments.
At this moment, Situ Yongren wrestled with his inner thoughts:
“Speak!”
“I must speak!”
“Sword Saint Rao, Elder Yan might not see it, but I’ve deduced it through the analysis of Senior Number Two.”
“This, is not Xu Xiaoshou’s true body! The ripples, essence, and aura emanating from him are evidence that he’s a mere clone, not an actual person!”
Yet, as he raised his head and parted his lips…
High above the Nine Heavens, the malevolent Holy Emperor’s dragon head cast an increasingly colossal presence in his eyes, infinitely expanding within his spiritual world.
“How can anyone possibly utter a word?” Situ Yongren nearly collapsed.
“At this moment, with the Demonic Emperor Black Dragon in a fit of rage, Xu Xiaoshou’s clone can confront death without fear.”
“If I speak, all attention in the Arena will turn to me. With one swipe of the Demonic Emperor Black Dragon’s claw, it can crush me into smithereens.”
“Even if it’s telepathic communication… how can a Holy Emperor fail to intercept telepathic communication between demi-saints?”
“If I fail, Supreme Master… Supreme Master, will probably not intervene to protect me a second time!”
Situ Yongren lowered his head, his gaze sweeping past Sword Saint Rao, Elder Yan, and into the distance.
He sought out Yu Lingdi…
He found him!
This guy was hidden at the end again!
Hence, there was absolutely no reason for him to come forward. He was not even part of this game… Situ Yongren found his initial rationale and chose to remain silent.
“Are you ready, Xu Xiaoshou?” The Demonic Emperor Black Dragon’s five claws pierced the dark clouds, revealing its magnificence.
The second true body took a deep breath, leaped into the sky, and yelled with a confident voice echoing in all directions:
“Can a man live between heaven and earth, beneath the shadow of a dragon for long?”
“Come!”
The black dragon extended its claw.
The second true body perished.
