Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

"Ang ang ang!!!"

An intense dragon roar resounded through the clouds, echoing in all directions. Vast dragon might stretched for a hundred li, like heavenly might, a flood pressing down.

Thus, fierce winds rose, storms formed forests, the Algae Marsh churned, the Chi Lian Prison Dragon, the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon, the Chi Shan Sub-Dragon, three dragons continuously entangling and colliding, divine abilities scattering countless, in the blink of an eye, shocking the forests and wilds.

Judging purely by the degree of dragon might, now, after obtaining the Spirit Dragon True Bone and the Yan Huang Spirit Dragon's true blood, the Chi Lian Prison Dragon's bloodline degree, compared to the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon, was even slightly higher; therefore, even though its cultivation base was inferior to the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon, naturally there was no such thing as bloodline suppression.

And under the Chi Lian Prison Dragon's aura envelopment, the Chi Shan Sub-Dragon likewise feared not the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon.

At this moment, as the three dragons entangled, the void trembled, the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon roared, its gaping mouth spraying out large patches of black mist, rolling in layer upon layer; wherever it passed, space sizzled and crackled in unison.

"Be careful of his poison."

Yu Zhangsheng's gaze condensed slightly, he admonished in a deep voice; the Chi Lian Prison Dragon raised its head in response, its body shook, and instantly dark red flames permeated with golden patterns filled the sky, transforming into layer upon layer of fire sea, burning fiercely toward the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon.

"Sha Fire Purgatory!"

Illusion! Though it was Sha fire, it carried a trace of sacred purification intent, likewise bearing thick Sha qi, seemingly capable of scorching a person's soul; amid the flickering firelight, temperature soared, the void rippled layer upon layer like water waves, the firelight making the surrounding scenery hazy, initially resembling a hellscape.

The Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon lion-roared; the large patches of poison it spewed, under this fire sea, actually began to slowly burn, turning into black qi, bit by bit permeating the void.

Simultaneously, the Chi Shan Sub-Dragon likewise refused to lag behind; its body suddenly shook, its gaping mouth spraying out large patches of fire sea; in the void, Chi Shan virtual shadows permeated, trembling in unison, instantly transforming into heavenly fire meteors plummeting down, like a heavenly calamity descending.

In this Sha fire prison, fire sea and knife mountain, knife mountain and fire sea, transforming into rolling lava sweeping forth; under the two's cooperation, they actually erupted with even more terrifying might.

"Having devoured the Yan Huang Spirit Dragon's true blood, the Chi Lian Prison Dragon's Sha fire now also carries some other characteristics; divine ability power is more than double what it was before."

Yu Zhangsheng murmured in his heart, his eyes holding a smile, his demeanor still fairly relaxed; for this battle, he did not have too much pressure.

Although the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon's realm was somewhat higher than his own Chi Lian Prison Dragon's, if he truly erupted, he could naturally easily slay it; the only point of difficulty was to subdue it conveniently for Li Minghan to contract; if not using thunderous means, Yu Zhangsheng was confident in killing it within the shortest time.

"Chi Prison Shadow Dragon Kill!"

Boom boom boom!!

The Chi Lian Prison Dragon roared, the sky curtain instantly darkened; its body shook, one became two, two became four, four became eight, a full nine Chi Lian Prison Dragon shadows, mist permeating heaven and earth covering the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon in eight directions up, down, left, right, like nine heaven-breaking spears, carrying boundless fire, erupting with sky-piercing might, piercing clouds and breaking mist, stabbing ruthlessly at the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon!

"Hou hou!"

The Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon struggled, its huge dragon wings unfurling covering heaven and earth, suddenly a mountain-like gust of wind rose, more thick fog transforming into poison tides rolling forth; this carried unimaginable violent corrosiveness, breaking through the fire sea's restriction, the nine Chi Lian Prison Dragon shadows instantly corroded six, the remaining three then breaking through heavy obstacles, ruthlessly crashing onto the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon's giant wings.

"Wu wu wu!!"

The Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon shocked and angry, emitted a sobbing sound; its body shook, three fire-burnt pits emerged on its huge wings, yet the injury was not light; gaping mouth again spraying large patches of poison mist, a black mass, transforming into a storm, like heaven-covering earth-covering wind sand erupting and permeating in this marshland, enveloping the sky dome.

Wherever the poison mist passed, the marsh water vapor was also dyed black, its nature altered, carrying extremely strong corrosiveness; vegetation withered, all things extinguished, life force exterminated in an instant; within a radius of one kilometer, transformed into pitch-black land, only a giant pit like a heavenly pit, a giant poison pit, thereby showing this poison's tyranny.

The Chi Lian Prison Dragon lowered its head, a layer of faint golden light covering its body; Sha fire formed a ring guarding the Chi Shan Sub-Dragon and itself, burning the poison mist; though there were occasional omissions, it was still harmless to the overall situation.

The Chi Lian Prison Dragon inherently also carried a certain toxicity, and also still had the "Poison Tail Divine Hook" this kind of poison-releasing skill; although currently not considered outstanding, it still gave it quite good resistance to poison.

And the Chi Shan Sub-Dragon, after breaking through to Third Rank, its body's resistance also greatly increased; plus it inherently possessed the Giant Mountain Body, its flames also carrying burning, restraining a certain degree of poison effect; for a short time, it also feared not.

"Chi Fire Divine Mountain!"

Li Minghan shouted loudly; the Chi Shan Sub-Dragon instantly understood, its huge dragon horn erupting with dazzling red light, flames even more scorching, like rolling lava fire; an inverted towering volcano shadow instantly descended, suppressing down, ruthlessly pressing at the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon!

"Clang clang clang!!"

Temperature rose, the void twisted; enormous pressure and high temperature simultaneously swept forth; the surrounding poison mist at this moment all seemed suppressed, showing a trend of melting.

"Vast Sea Boundless!"

Also at this time, the Xuan Turtle suddenly acted; amid howls, green waves shimmered, transforming into Vast Sea Boundless, replacing the sky curtain; amid heaven and earth inversion, only a boundless great sea, carrying a unique heaven-and-earth momentum, cutting through thorns and brambles, surging wave after wave, along with this Chi Fire Divine Mountain, a path pressed down.

The marshland exploded, violent water mist obscured space; the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon struggled within, under uneasy roars, its Third Rank Late Stage cultivation base transformed into an explosive burst; its huge dragon tail swept once, the divine mountain collapsed, the vast sea exploded, but the descending residual might trapped on its body still made it bleed, with a boom it smashed onto the ground.

However its skin was rough and flesh thick; this degree of injury, for it, was irrelevant to the overall situation.

"Chi Heaven Rending Claw!"

The Chi Lian Prison Dragon circled; its dragon claw suddenly opened, tearing open space revealing violent sharp light; seizing the opportunity, it ruthlessly clawed at the Myriad Poison!

The sound of piercing gold and cracking stone resounded through the clouds; amid firelight shooting in all directions, the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon screamed miserably; on its huge dragon body, two violent white marks tore open dragon scales, ruthlessly clawing, flesh and blood blurred.

Though the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon was strong, under Yu Zhangsheng and Li Minghan's joint attack, plus multiple beast-taming coordination, defeat was merely a matter of time.

And the only thing Yu Zhangsheng worried about was its poison; therefore he no longer held back; waving his sleeve, he let Cai Xing and the Golden-Winged Great Peng also join the battle; his own body shook, departing this battlefield, heading toward a group of Poison Dragon Lizards.

"Beat the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon into submission, protect Li Minghan well."

Yu Zhangsheng issued a directive, then turned and rushed toward the Nine-Headed Poison Dragon Lizards; a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, subconsciously licking his lips.

For Yu Zhangsheng, the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon was Li Minghan's target, and these Nine-Headed Poison Dragon Lizards were naturally his target.

Of course, he definitely would not go contract Poison Dragon Lizards; he was afraid that if this continued, this group of disciples would kill these Poison Dragon Lizards; that would not be good; these spirit beasts, he had other uses for them.

Therefore, while several spirit beasts coordinated with Li Minghan to suppress the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon, Yu Zhangsheng was like a wolf mixed into a flock of sheep, excitedly pouncing on this group of Poison Dragon Lizards.

And with Yu Zhangsheng's current combat power, subduing such a group of Poison Dragon Lizards could be said to be effortless; not to mention there was still a group of disciples assisting on the side. "Startled Swan Falling Wild Goose!"

The Purple Spirit Imperial Sword swept once, sword light flashed; in the other disciples' reverent gazes, a Poison Dragon Lizard was knocked unconscious by him, and Yu Zhangsheng familiarly collected it into his storage bag.

In less than an incense stick's time, nine Poison Dragon Lizards, not a single one escaped, all were perfectly packed up by Yu Zhangsheng.

"A family must be whole and complete, ah."

Yu Zhangsheng nodded in satisfaction; after doing all this, he turned to look toward the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon direction; his body shook, arriving beside Li Minghan, a trace of sharp light flashing in his gaze.

Under the simultaneous attacks of the Chi Lian Prison Dragon, Cai Xing, Golden-Winged Great Peng, Xuan Turtle, and Chi Shan Sub-Dragon, the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon could be said to be retreating step by step, beaten until it couldn't find its bearings, screaming miserably without end.

Seeing this, Yu Zhangsheng smiled faintly, laughing at Li Minghan: "This Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon has also been suppressed about enough; prepare, prepare, about time to contract."

"Good!"

Li Minghan took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, nodding at Yu Zhangsheng.

Yu Zhangsheng raised an eyebrow, looking at the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon wailing prostrate on the ground; his expression returned to coldness; from heaven he stepped down to before the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon; enormous soul power condensed into a giant black divine needle, momentum like splitting bamboo, suspended above the Myriad Poison Sub-Dragon's sea of consciousness soul, emitting cold light, trembling on the verge of falling.

Yu Zhangsheng's voice also echoed faintly at this moment: "Become a contract beast, or die — you choose yourself."

"Wuu wuu wuu!!"

The Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon trembled all over, its eyes revealing a look of grief, indignation, and fear, roaring low at Yu Zhangsheng, but as Yu Zhangsheng's gaze turned cold, the low roar also gradually grew quieter.

Finally it uttered not a word, merely turned its head away, a face full of stifled resentment, the hatred in its eyes obvious.

"So you mean you want to die? I admire your courage."

Yu Zhangsheng was surprised, nodding appreciatively at the Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon, and with a thought, the Shocking Spirit Thorn was about to descend.

"Don't — what's wrong with becoming my beast?"

Li Minghan stepped out, walked before the controlled Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon, his eyes carrying a compassion-for-the-world intent, yet his face brimming with smiles, patted the Sub-Dragon's thick large head, and said in a low voice: "If you don't agree, Changsheng really will kill you; such a fine spirit beast, I'd hate for you to die — become my beast, how about it?"

The Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon shot Li Minghan a sidelong glance, its pair of beast eyes revealing, besides resentment, a trace of disdain — clearly it looked down on Li Minghan in its heart.

Li Minghan: "……"

Li Minghan smiled without it reaching his eyes, blue veins popping up root by root on his head, looking at the Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon with an unkind gaze, face barely squeezing out a trace of a smile, leaning his body close to the Sub-Dragon and whispering.

Meanwhile Yu Zhangsheng simply watched quietly from the side, not saying a word, only controlling the Shocking Spirit Thorn to descend bit by bit, approaching the Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon's spirit-soul, exerting pressure.

Finally, whether it was what Li Minghan said to the Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon, or under the threat of death, when the Shocking Spirit Thorn was only a hair's breadth from the Sub-Dragon's spirit-soul, the Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon let out a whine, lowered its body and chose to submit, nodding slightly at Li Minghan.

At the same time it turned its head, its pair of dragon eyes revealing a trace of human-like pleading toward Yu Zhangsheng.

"That's more like it — become my beast, fight alongside me all the way, and later stand together on high overlooking the world's scenery; you'll absolutely never regret having followed such a great Beast Tamer today!"

Li Minghan clapped his hands in satisfaction, spoke with a face full of sighs, hehe-ing in laughter.

The Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon rolled its eyes, yet still nodded like a chick pecking rice, the grief and indignation on its face impossible to wipe away, then heaved a heavy breath, its pair of eyes staring unblinkingly at Li Minghan, let out a low cry, and spoke awkward human words from its mouth: "Become your beast — you make this terrifying guy let go of me, and promise my conditions, you can't trick me."

Li Minghan nodded, saying with a serious face: "Naturally — rest assured."

Li Minghan patted his chest, vowing solemnly, then turned his head to look at Yu Zhangsheng, nodding lightly at the latter.

Yu Zhangsheng's expression unchanged, his heart still maintaining vigilance, with a wave of his sleeve several of his beasts surrounded the Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon, eyeing it covetously, while he himself dispersed the Shocking Spirit Thorn suspended above the Sub-Dragon's spirit-soul.

"The rest is up to you."

Yu Zhangsheng spoke concisely — what came next was simple: just sign the contract.

"Good."

Li Minghan rummaged in his storage bag for a long while, then took out a scroll, his face showing a trace of pained gritting of teeth as he opened it.

"Hum hum hum!"

In an instant, intense golden light burst forth from the scroll, enveloping Li Minghan and the Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon, and even more, one mysterious rune after another emerged from within, branding the void, engraving the Great Dao.

Seeing this, Yu Zhangsheng looked at Li Minghan with some surprise — this Contract Book was not simple; at a glance it was very high-grade, obviously worth no small sum.

This kind of contract — even if the beast regrets it midway and fails — can protect the contractor to the greatest extent, and can even forcibly alter the contract content, turning it from a beast-taming contract into a slave contract; its value is inestimable.

Precisely because of this, Li Minghan dared to force-contract the Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon without fear, unafraid of its backlash during the contracting process.

"Prepared quite thoroughly." Yu Zhangsheng muttered, the last trace of worry in his heart also vanishing completely.

Li Minghan exhaled a deep breath, his gaze revealing a trace of decisiveness, extended a finger to his mouth and bit it, a drop of fresh blood falling from his fingertip, dripping onto the Contract Book, fusing completely within.

At the same time, Li Minghan also drew a drop of fresh blood from the Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon's wound, likewise dripping it onto the Contract Book.

The two drops of blood from one person and one beast fused; the contract scroll instantly trembled violently, golden light carrying blood radiance continuously converging, condensing into two mysterious strange runes of blood-gold color, slowly floating toward the Ten Thousand Poison Sub-Dragon and Li Minghan.
