Chapter 445: Jing Yuheng Controls the Black Dragon Guard

"Black Dragon Hall Master, we are merely following Your Majesty's orders."

"Black Dragon Hall Master, I advise you to surrender; do not make a desperate last stand."

"White Wolf Vice Hall Master and Azure Dragon Vice Hall Master spoke in turn, urging the Black Dragon Hall Master to lower their head and not resist further."

"They did not want to act against the former hall master, after all, their relationship was not shallow; they had thought it could last forever, who could have imagined that the Black Dragon Hall Master would betray his original intention and stand against them, and they could only painfully oppose the Black Dragon Hall Master."

"The Black Dragon Hall Master chuckled and praised, 'Jing Yuheng, excellent tactics, even my two most loyal subordinates have been bribed by you, impressive, impressive, I, the hall master, am impressed.'"

"He stood up, clapping repeatedly, praising Jing Yuheng's... excellent tactics, for you must know that these two vice hall masters' strength is not insignificant; nothing could sway them, yet Jing Yuheng managed to turn them, showing that Jing Yuheng had promised them conditions they could not refuse."

"Throughout the Great Qi Dynasty, there were few things that could move their hearts; perhaps only a higher realm, breaking through Condensed Dan, advancing to True Realm, thereby leaving this world to pursue an even higher realm."

"All of this is not something Jing Yuheng can promise."

"As for him, the promise he could obtain was nothing more than this."

"'White Wolf, Azure Dragon, have you really decided? Are you truly going to betray the hall master?'"

"White Wolf Vice Hall Master stepped forward, clasped their fists, and said, 'Hall Master, you had better lower your head; we will plead for you.'"

"'Yes, hall master, considering our many years of friendship, I will let you live.'"

"Azure Dragon Vice Hall Master also spoke, not letting him die; as for how he lives, that is their affair."

"What good is sparing the life of a crippled person?"

"Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon Hall Master looked up and laughed loudly: 'Hahaha.'"

"'How ridiculous, how ridiculous, you two are truly ridiculous; since the hall master has chosen that path, they will naturally not turn back, Jing Yuheng, you would not think that by allying with the two of them you could overthrow the hall master, would you?'"

"'Today, the hall master will let you see why they have been able to command the Black Dragon Guard for so many years.'"

"'Hum.'"

"The Black Dragon Hall Master moved directly, in the blink of an eye appearing before them."

"Jing Yuheng had long been prepared; the spear thrust forward, lightning flashing."

"'Thunder God Strike.'"

"Lightning coiled around the spear; at the tip, that bolt of lightning was the most blinding."

"The darkness of the hall was illuminated by the flashing lightning, lighting up an area."

"The Black Dragon Hall Master's hand turned into a dragon claw; sharp nails seized the thunderbolt spear, the immense force causing Jing Yuheng to lean forward, the flashing lightning unable to damage his body, that thick layer of scales blocking everything."

"The Black Dragon Hall Master appeared before them, a face... filled with scales, the entire body covered in snake scales."

"The black snake scales, upon close inspection, bore a faint Dragon Might."

"On the Black Dragon Hall Master's head sprouted two single horns, resembling a black dragon."

"White Wolf and Azure Dragon immediately moved, appearing to the left and right of the Black Dragon Hall Master, one throwing a punch, the other forming a claw, the claws grasping at the black dragon's body."

"'Puchi.'"

"The claws and fists struck, yet they could not break his defense."

"The Black Dragon Hall Master smirked contemptuously: 'Hmph, you are too weak.'"

"The black dragon erupted, an aura like a towering wave, crushing the three."

"With a mighty yank, the spear was wrenched free, and Jing Yuheng was blown away."

"Beside them, the White Wolf Vice Hall Master and Azure Dragon Vice Hall Master were also blown away, slamming into the wall and scattering debris everywhere."

"After the explosion sounded, the Black Dragon Hall Master grasped the spear and casually threw it; the spear flew toward Jing Yuheng."

"'Bang.'"

"The thunderbolt spear that grazed past was only a finger's breadth from Jing Yuheng; a little more, and it would have taken her life."

"Just one move, merely one move, and all three were stunned."

"'You are not at the Inner Dan level; you have actually reached the Golden Core realm.'"

"Three layers of Condensed Dan, False Dan, Inner Dan, Golden Core."

"Golden Core constitutes a true Strong One; such a Strong One, even within the capital, is few and far between."

"The black dragon, unknown when they advanced to Golden Core, is not merely someone who has just entered the Golden Core realm."

"Jing Yuheng's expression changed; a Golden Core Strong One is not something they could defeat."

"All three of them are at the Inner Dan realm; even joining forces, they might not be able to overthrow the Black Dragon Hall Master."

"White Wolf Vice Hall Master and Azure Dragon Vice Hall Master exchanged a glance, and they were frightened."

"'Cough cough cough.'"

"'Golden Core Third Heaven.'"

"They perceived the Black Dragon Hall Master's strength and cultivation; that surge of aura made them fearful."

"White Wolf Vice Hall Master took a deep breath: 'Let's go together.'"

"Azure Dragon Vice Hall Master said to Jing Yuheng: 'Let them attack together, surround and kill him.'"

"Having chosen to act, we cannot be merciful; kill him."

"The Black Dragon Hall Master must die; once they escape, the consequences are unimaginable."

"They all know this, so they must strike ruthlessly."

"Jing Yuheng coldly nodded, crushed a jade slip, and a group of previously prepared Black Dragon Guards appeared, forming a formation that enveloped the entire Black Dragon Guard hall."

"'Forward, kill him.'"

"The three led the way, the group of Black Dragon Guards followed, employing all means."

"The formation suppressed them; Jing Yuheng must overthrow the Black Dragon Hall Master."

"Even if they are Golden Core, they can still be overthrown."

"To command the Black Dragon Guard, one must……do this."

"The battle continued for half an hour."

The Black Dragon Hall Master had not yet fallen, and was quite tenacious.

His body was covered in wounds and scales, which kept falling off.

The three White Wolves also fared poorly; each of them was injured.

"Cough cough, White Wolf, Azure Dragon, I never expected you two to have advanced to Golden Core."

"This hall master misjudged; you truly are this hall master's good friends."

The Black Dragon Hall Master never expected that these two had secretly advanced to Golden Core, and together with Jing Yuheng and those Black Dragon Guards, they forced him down.

This battle, having reached its end, left no room for any surprises.

Those Black Dragon Guards had all advanced to Condensed Core; even if they were only at Empty Core, they still caused him considerable trouble.

Divine abilities, toxins, formations, and various means were employed; the Black Dragon Hall Master's body reached its limit.

"Hall Master, rest easy on your journey."

"We will give you a complete corpse."

The White Wolf Vice Hall Master and the Azure Dragon Vice Hall Master attacked simultaneously, while Jing Yuheng brandished his Thunder Spear again, thrusting and weaving through.

"Thunder God's Second Strike."

Lightning bombardment enveloped the Black Dragon Hall Master.

After the three attacks landed, there followed many divine ability bombardments.

"Boom—"

After the smoke and dust cleared, the Black Dragon Hall Master stood there, his eyes fixed on Jing Yuheng, full of unwillingness.

Vitality was rapidly fading.

He was about to die.

He still had a breath left.

The White Wolf Vice Hall Master and the Azure Dragon Vice Hall Master let out a sigh of relief.

"Finally, he's going to die."

Jing Yuheng also let out a sigh of relief; the price paid to kill him was somewhat high.

On the ground lay many corpses, Condensed Core experts — over a dozen had died.

The losses were severe.

Jing Yuheng held his spear and stepped forward step by step.

As the spear swept, a sharp light cut the Black Dragon Hall Master's head.

The head flew up into the air.

Blood sprayed across the land.
