Chapter 5455 Baffling
The gold eye evil dragon race had long been at odds with the resonant dragon race. Seeing Long Chen opposing their sworn enemies, the gold eye evil dragon race attempted to recruit him.
However, Long Chen’s blunt response soured their expressions, erasing any trace of friendliness from their race leader’s face. His smile twisted into a cold snarl.
“Little fellow, you don’t know how to appreciate kindness,” said the race leader coldly.
“Kindness? Do you think Boss Long San wants the kindness of you soft-boned fools?” sneered Long Chen.
“Who are you calling soft-boned?” the race leader retorted.
In truth, the gold eye evil dragon race had always been known as an unbridled and untamed bunch within the Dragon Domain, doing as they pleased without fear of consequence. It was this very temperament that had made them mortal enemies of the Resonant Dragon race.
Amidst the chaos of the Dragon Domain, many factions vied for leadership. However, most were comparatively conservative, lacking the relentless aggression displayed by the resonant dragon race and the evil dragon race.
Amongst them, eight factions wanted to become the new leader of the Dragon Domain, wishing to unify the Dragon Domain. They were incredibly powerful and had many allies.
Despite all that, they were very cautious, simply waiting for the right opportunity. On the other hand, the evil dragon race had repeatedly clashed with the resonant dragon race.
The resonant dragon race was the first to declare their intent to unify the Dragon Domain and ascend as its new king. In response, the evil dragon race boldly countered, stating that while unification was inevitable, the title of ruler would belong to them.
Thus, a ferocious conflict erupted between the two factions. While the evil dragon race held the upper hand in raw strength, the resonant dragon race had amassed a powerful alliance, balancing the scales and plunging the Dragon Domain into an intense, drawn-out war.
The other dragon races knew that the situation was dire. The leader—sovereign dragon race—had not appeared in ages. Without its guidance, the domain splintered like loose sand; its fracture was an undeniable reality.
At this moment, the stronger dragon races started forming their own alliances. After all, the dragons were all proud beings, and none were willing to submit to anyone else—all except for the sovereign dragon race.
As a result, eight major factions formed, each vying for dominance in the Dragon Domain. However, the power balance among these factions was too close for any single group to gain a decisive edge.
This stalemate led to prolonged and bitter conflict, with countless years of pointless fighting. No faction could secure the trust or allegiance of the entire Dragon Domain. Instead, the Dragon Domain descended into greater chaos as the casualties piled up.
Amid this turmoil, a single exception stood apart: the conservative faction led by the white dragon race.
They refused to join this senseless battle. Thus, they stood alongside the white dragon race. With the white dragon race’s protection, they could avoid too much trouble.
The arrival of Long Chen in the Dragon Domain sent ripples throughout its factions. All eight major powers began observing him from the shadows, each trying to gauge his potential and intent. In the end, the gold eye evil dragon race leader felt that their chance had come and wanted to pull Long Chen to his side. However, Long Chen rejected him harshly.
“The dragon race has always relied on strength. When did it stoop to forming gangs and scheming against itself? The evil dragon race is hailed as the peerless monarchs of evil among dragons. Even evil has its Dao—but what is your Dao?” Long Chen’s words carried an icy disdain as he snorted at the leader.
The gold eye evil dragon race leader was a powerful half-step Dragon Emperor, but he was left speechless by Long Chen. In fact, he was so shaken by Long Chen’s imposing manner that he involuntarily took a step back.
What shook him even more was Long Chen’s insight. The evil dragon race had indeed been the lords of evil among the dragon race, answering only to the sovereign dragon race. Their unyielding nature was legendary, and even under the command of the sovereigns, they had clashed countless times. These battles had left them bloodied, but their defiance was etched into the annals of dragon history.
Although each time they took a heavy loss, looking through the dragon race’s history, just how many races had dared to challenge the sovereign dragon race?
The evil dragon race’s ferocious pride surpassed that of any other dragon race. It was this pride that made Long Chen’s words sting them with a deep sense of shame.
“If you wish to compete with others, then fight. If you can’t beat them, then soak the battlefield with your blood. When did the evil dragon race stoop so low to seeking helpers? Worse yet, you’ve even looked outside the dragon race! The evil dragon race has been utterly disgraced by you,” mocked Long Chen, practically spitting on the evil dragon race leader.
These words weren’t entirely his own—they came from Evilmoon. After all, it was once a member of the evil dragon race.
Though Evilmoon had lost its identity over time, it still retained its deep-seated disdain for the betrayal of the evil dragon race’s ethos. Its curses flowed through Long Chen’s mouth.
The gold eye evil dragon race leader gritted his teeth but couldn’t retort, shame and fury painting his face. Suddenly, he let out a thunderous roar, “Fuck off! Everyone who isn’t from the evil dragon race, get the hell out of here! This fellow is right—the evil dragon race doesn’t need helpers!”
The dragon experts who had allied themselves with the evil dragon race were stunned. Without hesitation, the gold eye evil dragon race leader swung his sleeve, sending out a gust of wind that blew them back.
Seeing the veins throbbing on his forehead, none of them dared to say a word. They all left the gold eye evil dragon race’s camp and retreated into the distance.
After sending them away, the gold eye evil dragon race leader looked at Long Chen. Through gritted teeth, he growled, “Your words really pissed me off. By all rights, I should kill you for that. But a brilliant martial god like myself wouldn’t stoop to killing someone just out of anger. Even though you’re cursing me, I can still see the logic in your words”
Long Chen: “...”
The sheer audacity of this statement left Long Chen speechless. The rest of the Dragonblood Legion was equally dumbfounded, as were the other experts across the Dragon Domain who had witnessed the exchange.
Long Chen’s eyes burned with incredulity as he stared at the gold eye evil dragon race leader. The bizarre twist in the conversation rendered him at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, the resonant dragon race leader couldn’t help but smile. Whether this fool of a rival had gone insane or not was irrelevant to him—this was an excellent opportunity to win more allies.
“What are you smiling at? Are you trying to prostitute yourself?!” cursed two voices at the same time.
Seeing Ying Changkong’s smile, Long Chen seethed with anger and cursed him. But to his astonishment, the gold eye evil dragon race leader hurled the same insult at the exact same time.
When the words were out, both Long Chen and the Evil Dragon leader froze, staring at each other in mutual shock. Who would have imagined they’d be on the same wavelength in their choice of curses?
“Are you trying to start a war here?” Ying Changkong’s expression darkened at being insulted by both of them. Fury surged in him, and with a wave of his hand, a dragon spear materialized in his grip. The air trembled as a terrifying Emperor-level pressure erupted from him like an unstoppable volcano.
