The Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 1905 Perish Together?

In terms of his natural endowment and comprehension, he was superior to his father Qiangu Dieting. He was recognized by his clan and the high-ranking personnel from the Spirit Pagoda.However, why was Qiangu Dongfeng who was already the Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master for so many years incapable of becoming a quasi god-ranked Limit Douluo? It was not a problem with his natural endowment nor did he lack effort. It was his temperament.

Although he possessed the Coiling Dragon Staff equipped with the Combat Heaven and Earth Consciousness, he was not desperate enough to sacrifice himself by going all-out during a battle. He was not a coward who feared death, but he cherished himself too much. Thus, he was never able to do it.

Based on natural endowment, there was a huge disparity between him and Qiangu Qingfeng who possessed the Purgatory Ji martial soul. Yet, their final abilities were on par since Qiangu Dongfeng could not find the spirit which belonged to the Coiling Dragon Staff all this while!

In the past, Qiangu Dongfeng did not regret this. In his view, he could perhaps be a quasi god if he possessed the attributes of persistence and self-sacrifice. Nevertheless, he would most likely have died many times over. After all, more than two thirds of the Qiangu Clan’s powerhouses from Qiangu Dieting’s generation had died during their training. Qiangu Dieting was the only person who managed to break through the siege to become a quasi god with some luck and providence.

Qiangu Dongfeng prided himself for being the Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master. He did not have much opportunity to engage in a battle personally. He was in pursuit of the God rank which he hoped to carry out safely.

Yet, he now had his regrets. It was his first time to experience such intense remorse. He realized that he was wrong. He was so very wrong. He wanted to go all out but the fear in his heart had somehow stopped him from expressing the Coiling Dragon Staff’s true profundity.

He did not have any companion nor the Spirit Pagoda’s protection inside the Nine Palace Box. His power was the only thing he could depend on. However, intense fear filled his heart. How could he possibly express his abilities at present?

‘Sacrifice oneself, sacrifice first, and receive later.’ He realized that he was wrong after all!

Yet, it was one thing to understand, but a whole different thing to do it. It was already too late for everything.

The black-red color condensed into a gigantic water drop bursting with energy inside the Nine Palace Box. It hovered in the air. The Darkness Blood Demon’s body melted away completely into a horrendous drop of liquid.

Two dark red objects which looked like a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in the black-red liquid. It gazed closely at Qiangu Dongfeng. At that very instant, Qiangu Dongfeng felt like he could not even move his soul.

The Coiling Dragon Staff which was swung at full force set off an energy storm inside the Nine Palace Box. The dark red color fused into every corner of the Nine Palace Box akin to quicksilver which had spilled onto the ground.

The Darkness Blood Demon’s ghastly cold voice was heard. “Blood Demon Curse!”

“Crack!” A sickening sound was heard. Qiangu Dongfeng’s body was frozen in a corpse-like posture. He could not move at all and he appeared exceedingly strange. In the next moment, the entire Nine Palace Box crumbled and the black-red color inside the Nine Palace Box dispersed and vanished soon after. Qiangu Dongfeng had melted away too. Everything inside the box had vanished into nothingness.

The leader of the Holy Spirit Cult’s four great heavenly kings of darkness, the Darkness Blood Demon was dead!

The ex-Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qiangu Dongfeng had also fallen!

Two more great Limit Douluo-ranked powerhouses had left the world eternally.

“Grandfather!” A bitter cry was heard. It drew the attention of the people.

Qiangu Zhangting transformed into a ray of light shooting straight toward the battlefield.

Tang Wulin frowned ever so slightly. He stretched out his hand to grasp at thin air. A gush of tremendous suction force instantly immobilized Qiangu Zhangting’s body in the air to stop him from engaging in the battlefield.

It was the Tang Sect’s technique, the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon!

The Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon unleashed by Tang Wulin with his current cultivation base was spectacular. He had pulled Qiangu Zhangting back by force.

Qiangu Zhangting roared at him in rage. “Let go of me, b*st*rd. Let go of me. I’m going to avenge my grandfather. Ugh...” A muffled voice was heard. Qiangu Zhangting’s body went limp in the air. Gu Yuena appeared behind him without him noticing and had knocked him unconscious with a hand blow.

Tang Wulin took a glance at Qiangu Zhangting. If they had been somewhere else, he might have lost control of himself and beat up this man. After all, he was a part of the Qiangu Clan, not to mention the fact that Tang Wulin considered him his love rival.

However, mankind’s legion was currently bound by a common hatred for the enemy. All personal grudges must be put aside first.

Gu Yuena handed Qiangu Zhangting over to someone from the Spirit Pagoda before she returned to Tang Wulin once again.

Everyone’s mind was weighed down with anxiety. Even though the powerhouses from the abyssal plane and the Spirit Pagoda were dying one after another, mankind’s legion had paid an agonizing and tremendous price too!

Tang Wulin was not bothered by Qiangu Dongfeng’s death, of course. However, he had yet to recover from the grief he felt after the Holy Spirit Douluo passed away earlier. Although the Holy Spirit Douluo managed to retain her soul which was reunited with Yun Ming inside the Atlas Divine Spear, she had finally left this world for good!

At the same time, Lan Muzi who was resisting at full force inside the Nine Palace Box finally gave in.

Piercing dark green flames burned. It was his life flame. The Sun Wood Saber turned into a gigantic, fiery long knife moving downward in a chopping motion.

A voice was simultaneously heard coming from a Nine Palace Box for the first time. It was the agonizing cry of the Sage Monarch. It was engulfed in dark green flames. Lan Muzi took a last glance in the direction of Tang Yingmeng. It was a gaze filled with complex emotions and an unwillingness to part.

In the next moment, the Nine Palace Box collapsed. The green flames vanished together with the Sage Monarch. There was nothing left, except for some remnant abyssal energy escaping into the air.

Did they perish together?

The abyssal Sage Monarch was dead!

The Sea God’s Pavilion members of Shrek Academy, the senior brother disciple of the inner court, Lan Muzi had also fallen.

“Brother Lan...” Tang Yingmeng cried out in grief. Her vision went dark as she fainted in Zheng Yiran’s arms. Shrek Academy had just lost another courageous personnel.

Tang Wulin closed his eyes in agony. His fists were tightly clenched. Yet, there was nothing he could do now.

Undoubtedly, mankind’s legion would achieve victory in this round of the matches. When Lan Muzi died, the Qilin Douluo Tong Yu had finished off his opponent and left the battlefield. The three great Limit Douluos and the Body Douluo A Ruheng waited at mankind’s side of the periphery. If an enemy were to come out alive, it could not possibly escape their encirclement.

Meanwhile, the remaining battles continued. The remaining battles were Qiangu Dieting versus the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa, and Wu Zhangkong against his opponent.

On the other hand, the three great Limit Douluos and the Body Douluo A Ruheng each defeated their respective opponents. Out of the seven battles which ended earlier, Lan Muzi, Qiangu Dongfeng, Yali, and their opponents perished together. It was indeed a tragedy.

Ha Luosa’s situation got worse since Qiangu Dieting had been going all out since the beginning. Both of them were equally matched, yet he made the same mistake as Qiangu Dongfeng. He was hoping to find an escape route for himself. Yet, he soon realized that it was nonexistent. Since the Nine Palace Boxes were created by an ally, it was considered fair that only one person would leave the Nine Palace Box alive.

Thus, Ha Luosa went all out as well. They inflicted injuries on each other. It was a matter of who could endure more injuries. The battle armor on his body was already tattered in the meantime.

The biggest problem of the Nine Palace Box was that there was no adequate space to dodge or evade attacks. It restricted the agility-type soul masters the most since they required vast spaces to move. Although Ha Luosa had transcended the ordinary agility-type soul master’s rank, he still belonged to the agility system after all. His aura began to weaken from the increasingly reckless fight.

At the same time, Qiangu Dieting did not have any intention to slow down. He continued to launch his wild attacks!
