Chapter 786: Golden Ray Dragon King
The eighteen dragon clans had already prepared their disposition of forces. The Golden Ray Dragon King and the three Forefather dragon warriors were set up in a high location to observe the terrain from all directions.
One of the Forefather elite warriors said, “Your majesty, indeed this Hibiscus Forest is a magical place. Space cracks fill its surroundings and whirlpooling air streams fill it up densely. There is only tunnel to enter and exit from unless we forcefully open a tunnel with the most great divine skill. If not, we can only enter from the original orbit.”
“Instead of spending our efforts to open up a tunnel, we should use the one already made. How much power does that son of the Qin possess? He’s merely overestimating his abilities by using the arm of the mantis to block the car. Your majesty, that kid is challenging my Forefather Dragon Clan without a second thought, could it be he knows he has a great supporter and so he dares to act this way?”
With a deeply clear gaze, there was a vague golden light inside the eyes of Golden Ray Dragon King. He brushed his whiskers and said with a smile, “He doesn’t know. For this, you can be certain. If he knew, he would not have come to the Endless Eastern Sea from so far away. If he were to beg that controller to interfere, that little problem with the Heavenly Emperor Gate would no longer be a problem.”
“Then what should we do? Clearly that kid is getting caught up in his killing spree. If we are to go in, he will definitely use the Graceful Spiritual Bow to attack us. If his guardian shields him, certainly we cannot kill him. If we are attacked by that kid, but cannot kill him, by that time, how would the eighteen dragon clans view us?”
Golden Ray Dragon King revealed a light smile. “I have my reasons.”
“Oh?”
“Didn’t you see that those foreign martial artists are eager to try?” Speaking here, a strange smile overflowed from the corner of the Golden Ray Dragon King. Inwardly, he thought, “If that son of the Qin kid dies in the hands of those foreign martial artists, the controller would not blame my Forefather Dragon Clan, right?”
“Of course, the best result is that kid does not die and he escapes on his own.” Golden Ray Dragon King also knew that it would be for the best if Qin Wushuang did not die.
If he were to die, even if the Forefather Dragon Clan did not hold any responsibility, it wouldn’t be guaranteed that the controller would not take out his anger on them. Although they would not make things difficult for the Forefather Dragon Clan on the surface, secretly they would make their shoes tight for them. By the time the God Discarding Door was opened, it would be enough of a headache if they were to slightly give some trouble to the Forefather Dragon Clan.
With a drop of golden light, the people in charge of the eighteen dragon clans all went up to bow. “Your majesty, we are ready with our disposition of forces. This Hibiscus Forest is already completely locked and surrounded.”
“Very good.” Golden Ray Dragon King waved his hand and shot a glance at those foreign martial artists from the corner of his eyes. “Everyone, since you have come from distant lands, if people of my Endless Eastern Sea rush ahead with the attack, surely you will say it’s not fair. You will not be getting your share at all… Therefore, I am giving you a fair chance. You can go fight this first wave. If you can knock him down, the distribution of goods will be your business. The Endless Eastern Sea would never do such a thing as those local thugs would do. If you cannot take him down, when our people step out, you will not get your share anymore. Is this arrangement fair?”
Initially, when the foreign martial artists saw that the Endless Eastern Sea party had arranged it this way, they thought they would not get their share at all. In fact, they were indeed already grumbling with unspoken criticism.
After all, a moment ago the Golden Ray Dragon King said his pretty words that would allow them to deal with Qin Wushuang freely, yet when the dragon clans took control of the situation, how could there be any opportunities for them?
They hadn’t carried much for coming out on top; however, upon hearing the Golden Ray Dragon King say this, they were shocked with joy. They were happy that they could be the vanguard.
They were startled, for why would the Golden Ray Dragon King be this generous? Could it be they are being sent to their deathbed?
It seemed as though the Golden Ray Dragon King could clearly understand everything and see through their inner activities. He roared with laughter. “From your hesitant expressions, I can see that you surely feel I am scheming against you guys. You hold the decision making choice. If you are to give up, you can leave now. There are many from the Endless Eastern Sea eighteen dragon clans waiting to attack.”
The foreign martial artists were more or less embarrassed. Before the Golden Ray Dragon King, they were seen through completely like people wearing no clothes.
“For this vanguard position, you can decide with one word whether you are to fight it. If you give up, I will definitely not stop you from leaving now!” When Golden Ray Dragon King said this point, suddenly he shouted, “Warriors of the dragon clans, are you ready?”
“Roar!” The fervent roar from the dragon clans echoed like rumbling thunder that shook the heavens and earth.
The foreign martial artists knew that this was a rare chance. Although the vanguard position would have layers of crisis, each of these martial artists were incredibly confident. As they exchanged glances with one another, they could see their eager and willing expressions.
“Your majesty, if we succeed in breaking the formation, and if we get that Qin Wushuang, the dragon clan will definitely not seize him by force?” a martial artist mustered up the courage to ask.
“I already said earlier that I will not look into the grudges Qin Wushuang had with you guys. For this clash, the main purpose is to eradicate the Spiritual Tree Clan and destroy the Hibiscus Forest!”
“Alright, then we shall help your majesty eradicate this Spiritual Tree Clan along the way, as a way to repay you for your generous benevolence!”
Upon hearing the Golden Ray Dragon King promise to do such a thing, the foreign martial artists felt reassured inwardly.
“Everyone, since his majesty is being so generous and letting us have the chance to be the vanguard, regardless of what kind of dragon pool and tiger den this Hibiscus Forest is, as long as we possess enough strength, do not fear. If you don’t have enough power and die at this Hibiscus Forest, that’s also because we lack skills. His majesty is already showing meticulous virtue and attention to duty.”
On the surface, this martial artist was praising the Golden Ray Dragon King. However, in fact he was sending an implied meaning to all foreign martial artists and calling everyone to work together.
When facing the emphatic power of the dragon clans, these foreign martial artists could only unite. This was the only for them to gain any advantage at this Hibiscus Forest.
“Alright, let’s make this dash, we must not let down his majesty’s gracious intentions.”
“Right, let’s make it together. We must use our skills if we are to catch Qin Wushuang. His majesty has agreed to not interfere. If we cannot catch him, it’s because we are useless and we shall see the elite warriors of the dragon clan break the formation!”
Golden Ray Dragon King said with a stern tone, “No, if you cannot break the formation, you are not qualified to stay here. Either you leave or you die!”
The attitude of the Golden Ray Dragon King was already extremely explicit.
“Alright, if we cannot succeed, we do not have the face to stay here. Let’s do it this way!”
“Friends, let’s make a plan of how to set up our disposition of forces, and how to assign personnel. Space cracks fill the surrounding areas of the Hibiscus Forest and there are countless whirlpools. If we don’t plan well, we do not have any chance of winning.”
“Yes, let’s make a plan. We must seize that kid!”
…
Qin Wushuang, who was inside the Hibiscus Forest, opened his spiritual perception completely and observed all movements outside.
He held the Graceful Spiritual Bow in his hand and a demonic smile spilled from the corner of his mouth. Qin Wushuang was determined. “Today’s battle will be my toughest yet, I may not escape this one. Either I succeed in breaking out of the cocoon to become a butterfly and achieve a high status, or my body will be extinguished and I will sleep eternally in the Hibiscus Forest.”
He laughed at himself and gave a long sigh as he looked around. “This Hibiscus Forest has such a beautiful environment as it stands aloof from worldly affairs. If I am to sleep eternally here, there is no better place. Unfortunately, this place is the den of the Golden Crow. I am afraid that even if I intend to sleep here, the Golden Crow will not tolerate me, right?”
“Ha ha, I am thinking too much. If I am defeated, I am afraid these people will not tolerate me sleeping here.” Qin Wushuang knew what they would do. If he were truly defeated, certainly these people would dismember his body into thousands of pieces and turn his bones to ashes.
“Graceful Spiritual Bow, Graceful Spiritual Bow, even if I die from today’s battle, I must not let these scumbags seize you. It would be a reckless waste of resources if such a great divine object fell into the hands of these ravenous wolves.”
Qin Wushuang shook his hand and mumbled to himself, “Too bad, our time was still too short. If I had gotten ten or eight years in the advantageous terrain of this Hibiscus Forest, along with the spiritual Qi foundation from the eight Supreme Dao warriors I absorbed, it’d even be possible for me to break into the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage.”
As long as he broke into the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, combined with the power of the Graceful Spiritual Bow and the unique terrain advantages of this Hibiscus Forest, he would have better confidence when fighting against even the elite warriors of the Forefather Dragon Clan.
Perhaps when attacking them head-on, he could not defeat such exceptional elite warriors as the Golden Ray Dragon King. Yet, beneath the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage, Qin Wushuang would have nothing to worry about.
While he was lost in his thoughts, suddenly an ancient voice emerged suddenly in his spiritual perception, “Human, this time you have made a huge ruckus.”
Qin Wushuang was feeling extremely innocent as he laughed. “Great spiritual tree, although I don’t know exactly which spiritual tree you are, I guess that you are king of the Hibiscus Forest? I must say that I did not call this trouble this time.”
“Of course I know about this. It’s no secret that the Forefather Dragon Clan wants to destroy the Hibiscus Forest. I meant that there is no need for you to get involved.”
Qin Wushuang was rather honest as he said with a bitter smile while rubbing his nose, “Could it be that you could not see that this Hibiscus Forest is also my only way out?”
“Ha ha, you are such a strange human being. You human martial artists always like to disguise your intentions. You are rather honest and do not find all kinds of pompous excuses. This is very good. At least, it proves that you are a reliable guy. Now, let me ask you, are you interested in working together to fend off our enemies?”
“Work together?” Qin Wushuang instantly became energized. As soon as he remembered the combat power of the Spiritual Tree Clan, he immediately became excited. “That’s right! Your Spiritual Tree Clan also has astonishing combat power. The thousands of miles of forest are all Hibiscus spiritual trees, even if all those people come in…”
“If all of them come in, the Spiritual Tree Clan is done,” the voice said coldly. “My Spiritual Tree Clan is formidable at joint attacks. In terms of individual attacks, we are not enough to fight with human and dragon martial artists. It would have been fine if the totem clan warriors of the dragon clans did not come. However, totem elite warriors, especially Golden Ray Dragon King has come. If he comes in, one attack is enough to wipe out twenty to thirty percent of my Hibiscus Spiritual Tree Clan.”
“Twenty to thirty percent? This much?”
“Yes, his attribute is gold which restrains us. The gold attribute holds power over the wood attribute. If this Golden Ray Dragon King performs his Great Vanishing Golden Bell Aurora, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
“Great Vanishing Golden Bell Aurora? What is that?” Qin Wushuang was shaken inwardly as he asked with a mumble.
