Dragon Tamer

Chapter 406: Chapter 408: Killing to Silence

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon was not foolish, and realizing that continuing to fight against the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor here would only endanger its life, it spread its wings and carried Zhu Minglang away from the island.

Zhu Minglang took out all of his grass beads to alleviate the discomfort caused by the odd fragrance for the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon.

Yet, the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor was somewhat arrogant and actually gave chase, stubbornly biting at the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon King without letting go.

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon King suddenly spread its wings to their fullest extent, and instantly, a vast expanse of stars twinkled densely, releasing extremely destructive rays!!

These dazzling rays pierced brutally through the body of the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor, and immediately, a large quantity of blood turned into pomegranate beads in the air, and were sucked into the blood-sucking feather scales of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon King.

“Spare its life, and it dares to chase after us,” Zhu Minglang snorted coldly.

When Han Wen left, he had given all the grass beads to Zhu Minglang. Although the quantity was not much, it was enough to relieve the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon King of its discomfort.

This destructive wing ray left the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor bleeding profusely, and only then did it cautiously maintain some distance.

Flying away from Magic Island, Zhu Minglang also felt a heavy sensation in his chest.

It was extremely uncomfortable, and the feeling of dizziness was getting stronger.

Having escaped the island, but this area was still shrouded in an eerie atmosphere, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon continued to breathe heavily, exhaling murky waste gases from its nostrils.

“Nu~~~~~~~”

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon seemed to have noticed something and signaled Zhu Minglang to pay attention to the surface of the sea.

On the sea surface was a large patch of glaring bloodstains, spreading out slowly in all directions.

At the very center of the bloodstain, an old dragon lay sprawled on top of the seawater, its limbs and tail seeming as if they had been torn and bitten.

The thick blood appeared to be gushing out from its abdomen, continuously staining the surrounding seawater red.

Zhu Minglang looked over and saw that on the back of the old dragon was a person, with disheveled hair, a pale face, and their body soaked with fresh blood.

“Let’s go down and take a look,” Zhu Minglang said.

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon King glided down, landing next to the blood-drenched old dragon.

“Great Instructor??”

Zhu Minglang recognized the person on the back of the old sea dragon and said in surprise.

Why was Great Tutor Lin Zhao here, and his Old Sea Dragon, on its last breath, seemed unlikely to survive!

How did it come to be in such a state?

The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor might have a cultivation base of over 20,000 years, capable of competing against Dragon King Level beings, but it shouldn’t be able to kill a true Dragon King in such a short time!

Great Tutor Lin Zhao went to lure the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor away, not to fight it to the death, yet his Sea Dragon King was gut-wrenched, with an unstoppable flow of blood!

“It’s… it’s Zhu…” Great Tutor Lin Zhao looked at Zhu Minglang, speaking with no strength left in his voice.

Only as he drew closer did Zhu Minglang realize that there was a horrifying claw mark on Great Tutor Lin Zhao’s chest, a mark that nearly pulled out all his organs!

“I have some ointment here!” Zhu Minglang hastily went forward, wanting to plug the terrible wound for Great Tutor Lin Zhao.

“No… no use, I can’t survive, I can’t survive. Be careful, there are others… There are others here, very strong, very strong…” Great Tutor Lin Zhao said haltingly.

“We’ve been followed??” Zhu Minglang said in astonishment.

“This is… this is what I promised you… go, leave this place, don’t… don’t provoke… I don’t want you to be involved…” Great Tutor Lin Zhao handed Zhu Minglang a small box, seemingly prepared in advance, to be offered once the deed was completed.

Zhu Minglang hadn’t completely understood what had happened.

But anyone capable of killing Great Tutor Lin Zhao was definitely an extremely dangerous character.

“Nu!!!!!!”

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon suddenly let out a cry.

Zhu Minglang looked around, then glanced up at the clouds…

What’s that above the clouds!

With a sweep of its tail, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon rolled Zhu Minglang into it and threw him onto its back.

A dense darkness, like a fog, spread around, completely obscuring everything here.

Zhu Minglang glanced at Great Tutor Lin Zhao, whose blood was flowing unstoppably and whose consciousness was already murky; the words he spat out were utterly indiscernible.

Zhu Minglang felt a bitter taste.

Such a respected Great Instructor, to just die here in this sea…

Was he here for the Sea-calming Bell?

There shouldn’t be many people who knew about this, so why would he be the victim of an assassination? Great Tutor Lin Zhao certainly wouldn’t have lacked such a sense of vigilance. There must be something here that Zhu Minglang wasn’t aware of.

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon had sensed the danger, which is why it used the night mist to hide itself.

It must have been the thing that killed Lin Zhao, watching them from above the clouds just now.

Great Tutor Lin Zhao had told Zhu Minglang to run away, indicating that he was well aware that Zhu Minglang might not be a match for that thing right now…

The question is, would the enemy really let him leave?

To flee directly would be to give that guy the chance to strike at him!

The enemy was above in the clouds, afraid to come near this island, probably also wary of the inhibiting exotic fragrance.

“Return to Magic Island. It’s most likely some despicable human powerhouse waiting here for us to get the Sea-calming Bell and then attacking us. Going out might also spell disaster for us,” said Zhu Minglang to the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon.

The true strength of the opponent is still unclear…

It’s reckless to engage them in battle hastily.

Especially since the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon King just had a prolonged tussle with the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor; its stamina had been consumed too.

The opponent must also be of King-level.

There might even be more than one.

Only by using the scent of Magic Island could they deal with the opponent effectively.

“I’ve already given the Sea-calming Bell to Han Wen and Lü Yuanxun, but I’m worried about their current situation; it’s likely more bad than good,” Zhu Minglang said, increasingly anxious.

They had left Magic Island earlier than he had, and the killer of Great Tutor Lin Zhao must have been waiting outside the island…

The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor was heavily injured by the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon when it caught up just now and wouldn’t dare follow them for the time being. However, if Zhu Minglang and the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon stayed on Magic Island much longer, the situation would be unpredictable.

With a fierce and vicious person waiting outside the island and the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor inside the island, Zhu Minglang knew that this task was not as simple as he imagined, yet he never expected that Great Tutor Lin Zhao would be targeted.

…

To avoid draining the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon’s energy too much, Zhu Minglang temporarily returned it to the Spirit Realm.

Unfortunately, to negate the side effects brought about by the exotic fragrance, it was necessary for the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon King to take in large amounts of fresh air and clean spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy in the Dragon Shepherd Spiritual Domain was nothing more than the Spirit Origin drawn from the surrounding world; amid such a strange island, Zhu Minglang dared not introduce Spirit Origin into his own domain, as that would be equivalent to bringing the poisonous mist into the Spiritual Domain, not only preventing the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon from recovering properly but also harming the other dragons…

“Han Wen had previously found wild Beads on the island. I remember there were some growing by the swamp side when we left… that could sustain us for a while.”

“That guy definitely wants to kill the witness; such a damn bastard, inhuman.”

Zhu Minglang had already felt the intense killing intent coming from the clouds above.

The enemy was certainly waiting for him to leave the island.

But Zhu Minglang decided to do the opposite.

If you’ve got the guts, come in and kill me, then we’ll all be poisoned together!
