Chapter 646

While the Dragon-Blood warrior in the cage was staring at Li Yi, Li Yi was also sizing him up.

Through observation, Li Yi discovered that this so-called Different-Blood warrior was more like a hybrid of human and dragon, possessing both human form and dragon characteristics, fused together, which is why such a strange being was born.

It's just that what he didn't understand was how humans and dragons could give birth to offspring. One must know that the strange beasts in the Savage World cannot transform into human form, so the matter of humans and monsters falling in love would not occur.

Or was it that someone suddenly had a bold idea, and thus this Dragon-Blood warrior was born?

Just as Li Yi was letting his imagination run wild.

That old slave trader walked over and said: "His name is Long Yu; he is a powerful warrior. It's just that because he has the bloodline of a True Dragon, his temper is as proud as a True Dragon's and cannot be tamed. For this reason, I lost two loyal guards, both of whom had their heads smashed in when he seized the opportunity."

"Guest, if you cannot tame him, please give up; do not invite disaster."

He didn't want his guest to suffer losses because of the slaves he sold.

"I'll ask him if he's willing to acknowledge me as his master. If he's willing, I'll give you one thousand gold immediately." Li Yi said: "If he's unwilling, then I can only go look at other slaves."

"Of course." This old slave trader smiled and gestured.

After waiting for permission, Li Yi walked straight to the side of the cage.

"Guest, don't get too close; he strikes very fast. One of my guards died at his hands because of this." The old slave trader reminded him again.

"Many thanks for the reminder; I will be on guard." Li Yi said.

But until he approached the cage, the Dragon-Blood warrior Long Yu sitting inside showed no signs of attacking, but instead, his pair of golden vertical pupils kept staring at Li Yi.

"You have the scent of a dragon on you." Long Yu said in a muffled voice at this moment: "But you have no dragon characteristics on you, and besides the scent of a dragon, you are also a God-Blood warrior with the aura of lightning."

"Your nose is very sharp, but that's not important. Long Yu, do you want to acknowledge me as your master and leave this cage?" Li Yi asked calmly: "I have heard that dragons, as strange beasts, cannot be trapped because they cannot tolerate the feeling of losing their freedom. I think you are the same; you don't want to stay in this cage for a lifetime until the day you die."

"Doesn't becoming a slave also mean losing freedom?" Long Yu said.

Li Yi said: "I only need you to follow me like a warrior, and this will not bind your body or mind. Besides, a strong person is worth following, isn't he? This is already the best choice. After all, from the moment you became a slave, you haven't had many opportunities left. I might be your last opportunity; the next guest who comes to buy you might not treat you as I do."

Long Yu fell silent.

Clearly, Li Yi's words were not wrong.

Some guests wanted to buy him back to reproduce offspring and leave behind Dragon-Blood bloodlines; some guests just wanted him to fight others to earn more gold for them; some guests just purely hoped to possess a powerful servant.

Only this person before him just needed him to follow him.

This was indeed better than other guests.

Perhaps after Li Yi left, he would only slowly die in this cage, never waiting for a better opportunity again.

Although he is a Dragon-Blood warrior, he is not a beast and is capable of thinking and weighing things.

"If you can display the strength to make me submit, I am willing to follow you." After a brief silence, this Dragon-Blood warrior named Long Yu stated his condition.

"Of course." A smile immediately appeared on Li Yi's face, and he then took ten pieces of red gold from his Five Elements Bracelet and handed them to the old slave trader.

"I have bought this Dragon-Blood warrior; let him out."

The old slave trader squinted his eyes and said: "A True Dragon leaving its cage is a dangerous thing; the guest should be careful."

Although he said so, he still accepted the ten pieces of red gold and then gestured for his servants to open the cage that imprisoned Long Yu.

The servants approached the bone cage very nervously and then carefully opened it, because they had seen Long Yu kill people; his speed was very fast, and they could barely react.

So since then, very few people have been willing to approach this cage, and they only dared to approach occasionally when feeding him.

The bone cage opened.

Immediately.

A gust of wild wind instantly swirled up, and Long Yu, who had been sitting in the cage just a moment ago, vanished in an instant. His speed was extremely fast; he had already rushed out of the cage, ignored everyone else, and charged straight at Li Yi.

He raised his palm, and that palm covered in scales was like a dragon's claw. Just by reaching out, it tore through the air, erupting with a terrifying power.

Under this power, the houses in the entire area seemed as if they were about to be overturned.

However, Li Yi didn't dodge or evade; he just raised his hand and threw a punch the moment the other party attacked him.

At this moment, a True Dragon chanted, and a fierce tiger roared.

The divine power of a dragon and a tiger was fully displayed at this moment, as if Li Yi were the true Dragon-Blood warrior and the Long Yu before him was just a fake.

Boom!

The two forces collided, and soon the winner was decided.

Long Yu, the Dragon-Blood warrior, had his body instantly sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the ground and sinking deep into the earth. The ground nearby was immediately torn open by the residual force into hideous gashes.

Fortunately, this force was transmitted into the earth; otherwise, Li Yi's dragon-tiger power would have been enough to overturn this entire market.

Even so, it was still a mountain-shaking event, with a greater commotion than the fire beast had caused earlier.

"What terrifying power." The old slave trader revealed a trace of shock.

Just by standing there and throwing a punch, he had such power. This God-Blood warrior is very unusual; clearly, he hasn't reached the level of a God-Blood direct descendant and hasn't learned divine arts, but his strength is stronger than an ordinary God-Blood warrior by more than just a little.

Especially that power, which is even more astonishing.

"Is this Lord Dayi's power?" Shanguo, who was behind him, felt her pupils suddenly shrink. In a moment of trance, she seemed to have seen a young god throwing a punch.

Such a strike, even if the entire Guard Mountain Village had joined forces before, they wouldn't have been able to block it.

And this was not Lord Dayi's full strength, just a corner of it displayed.

"Your strength and physique are indeed very strong, to be able to take a punch from me and be fine." Li Yi sighed with emotion at this moment.

The people of this world are truly extraordinary; everyone's physical strength is astonishing, and their vitality is also extremely terrifying. If it were people from other worlds, they would have been blown apart by his punch long ago and couldn't possibly still be alive.

The next moment.

The ground shook again.

That Dragon-Blood warrior Long Yu broke out of the earth. His pair of golden vertical pupils revealed a trace of disbelief: "That is the power of a True Dragon; how did you do it?"

His palm was dripping with blood, the scales on the back of his hand were shattered, and one arm was covered in bloodstains; clearly, he had suffered no small injury under that strike.

But Long Yu didn't care about his own injuries, but was instead urgently wanting to know why Li Yi could condense and manifest the power of a True Dragon, while he himself could not.

"Want to learn? I can teach you, but you must follow me and acknowledge me as your master." Li Yi said with a smile.

What he has mastered is the art of subduing dragons and tigers, subduing the bloodlines of World Dragons and gods, and turning dragon-tiger power to his own use. This kind of operation is something even cultivation experts at the Three Flowers Realm couldn't think of; only he, a cross-dimensional traveler who practices multiple methods, can pull it off.

However, the Dragon-Blood warrior before him also has the potential to learn the art of subduing dragons and tigers.

But the law is not easily taught. Although Li Yi is not stingy about teaching the art of subduing dragons and tigers, Long Yu must follow him and prove his own value first.

After exchanging blows with Li Yi, Long Yu also knew the gap in strength between them. If Li Yi wanted to finish him off, it would be a very easy thing to do, and following such a powerful warrior was undoubtedly a very good choice for him.

"Master, you are a powerful and broad-minded warrior; I am willing to follow you and fight for you." Therefore, Long Yu lowered his head, willing to acknowledge Li Yi as his master.

Li Yi nodded and said: "Very good. You will be glad for the decision you made today in the future. Come with me; from today on, you are no longer a slave, but a warrior following me. As long as you prove your loyalty, I will cultivate you and teach you true combat abilities."

"Thank you, Master." Long Yu said earnestly.

Li Yi looked at the slave trader at this moment: "Is there only this one Different-Blood warrior? If there are other Different-Blood warriors, you can sell them to me together."

"Different-Blood warriors are rare high-quality goods, but if the guest likes them, I can go look for them." This old slave trader said with a smile.

Clearly, having sold Long Yu and obtained one thousand gold, he was in a very good mood.

Li Yi said: "Good, then I will come to patronize you again when I have time next time. As for the other two slaves, please go look for them together; I won't short you on gold."

Those two slaves referred to Jiang Jiang Mingtian and Zhao Zhao Fangji.

"Understood." The old slave trader didn't say much, just made a promise.

Hearing this word "understood," Li Yi felt reassured. This meant that this old slave trader would definitely go help look for people. Although he didn't know if he could successfully find them, leaving a hope was always a good thing.

After all, that was how Hu Fei was rescued back then.

Because there were no other slaves he took a fancy to, Li Yi had to take everyone and leave. However, he didn't rush to leave the market, but intended to stroll around some more. After all, he had gold in his hands; if he could buy some very valuable things, it would also be a good thing.

"Eji, the slave trader who sold you before also knew about divine arts. I don't know where that slave trader is? Can you lead the way and let me go take a look?" Li Yi suddenly said.

Eji said at this moment: "Lord Dayi has already spent one hundred gold to learn about divine arts from this old slave trader; the other slave trader knows about the same."

Li Yi said: "What I'm talking about is not just divine arts, but whether that slave trader who sold you has other matters. I am not a careful person, but I can feel that you have something you need my help with."

Eji and Suji looked at each other, then immediately knelt down before Li Yi and bowed: "Lord Dayi, you are a kind master. We want to use the loyalty and life of our remaining years to beg Lord Dayi to help us save someone."

Li Yi said: "Also fell into slavery like you, in the hands of the slave trader who sold you?"

"Yes." Eji and Suji still knelt and answered; they were very nervous, their whole bodies tense.

Because as a servant, making a request to a distinguished guest like Li Yi is a very excessive thing. If Li Yi were unhappy, they would lose everything they have now, including their lives.

However, Li Yi said with a smile: "I have heard that only a master who bestows favors can gain the love and respect of others, and make everyone follow and be loyal. I am about to become your master, yet I have not truly bestowed favors upon you. Since you have made this request, I will promise you and save that person for you."

"Don't be nervous or afraid; get up. I believe the person worth you risking everything to save must be very important."

"Taking advantage of the fact that it's still early, take me to find that slave trader who sold you. I hope the person you want to save is still in that slave trader's hands."

"Thank you, Lord Dayi." Hearing this, Eji and Suji shed tears of excitement; they felt they had found a master worth following for a lifetime.

For a beautiful concubine, this is the luckiest thing.

Shanguo, who was to the side, watched silently. She discovered one thing: as long as you are not an enemy of Lord Dayi, you will find that he is a very easy person to get along with, not only possessing a kind heart but also a broad-mindedness that is not common.

This is probably the spirit of a master of men.
