Chapter 270: Dragon‑Speaker

Halfway through the barbecue, Demon King Harry's little mouth suddenly stopped.

His eyes, through the shield, fell on the far end of the sky.

Where the clouds met the heavens, a black line was rapidly thickening.

"Quick, into the cave!"

Demon King Harry could no longer maintain his elegant image.

He waved his hand to put away the barbecue and fine wine, directing the shield to retreat toward the cave entrance.

Zhang Xingyu was surprised, but he dared not be sluggish.

Based on his knowledge of Demon King Harry, unless a major upheaval occurred, this fellow would never act startled.

In a short while, they withdrew to the cave entrance.

Zhang Xingyu turned his gaze back and only then realized that the distant black line had come close.

Moreover, what black line was this? It was clearly a dense swarm of black dragons.

Huge wings, a fierce head, sharp iron claws.

Among them, a purple‑golden divine dragon, its body covered in purple‑golden scales, its massive wings shading most of the sky.

On the dragon's back stood a tall, burly man, wielding a golden spear, clad in silver armor, the beast heads on his shoulders glinting in the sun.

The man rode the dragon forward, raised his golden spear, and let out a strange, fierce roar, "Grr…".

"Roo roo!"

With his roar, the fire‑breathing dragons all halted.

"Grr!"

The man let out another bizarre roar.

The surrounding dragons instantly fell silent, hanging their heads, each as quiet as a quail.

"Useless bunch! Can't even subdue a few out‑of‑bounds reptiles!"

The man hummed lightly. This time, even Zhang Xingyu could understand his words.

"Dragon‑speaker! So it's a Dragon‑speaker!"

Demon King Harry let out a soft exhale.

"What the heck is a Dragon‑speaker? Is it powerful?"

"Of course it's powerful. Legend says a Dragon‑speaker rules the Dragon Realm, and all dragon‑type beings serve him. Millennia ago, a Dragon‑speaker named Fuer Xisi commanded a horde of evil dragons to assault the north of Moyu; every town was reduced to ruins, and hundreds of millions of demons perished in the flames."

"Oh! So brutal! What happened afterward? How was he eliminated?"

"Rumor has it that Demon God Taidi, together with dozens of demon kings, slaughtered the evil dragons completely, then used the supreme magic 'Void Banishment' to exile the Dragon‑speaker into endless void."

"Demon God Taidi?"

"Demon God Taidi is the last demon of Moyu to ascend to the demon realm. Before the great battle with the Dragon‑speaker, Taidi was only at the Demon King level. He attained insight during the duel and thus advanced to Demon God."

"Unthinkable, after millennia the Dragon‑speaker reappears. Moyu continent must be in trouble again!"

Demon King Harry let out a light sigh.

"Hahaha, never expected this reptile to have any insight. Not bad, I am Fuer Xisi, the great Dragon‑speaker, ruler of the Dragon Realm."

The man on the dragon's back laughed heartily toward the sky.

"I have returned. This time, I will conquer the entire Moyu continent, and make all demons tremble beneath my feet."

This man likely bears a grudge against the demons.

Could he be a demon traitor?

"Hmph! Just a degenerate of the demon race. You've been exiled once; aren't you afraid of being exiled again?"

The speaker was the old demon Hei Teyao. At some point, the old demon had already arrived at the cave entrance.

"Exile me? On your own? That old thing Taidi has already ascended to the demon realm. On this Moyu continent, who can still oppose me?"

Fuer Xisi swung his golden spear and let out a long howl toward the heavens.

"Roo, roo, roo......"

To match Fuer Xisi's howl, all the dragons raised their heads and screeched in unison.

Hei Teyao saw this and knew a fierce battle was inevitable.

The old fellow raised his hand, and a golden scroll appeared before him.

The scroll radiated light, and faintly a monster's roar echoed.

"Dark Prison!"

Hei Teyao whispered a incantation; the scroll turned into a black beam that instantly enveloped the sky where Fuer Xisi stood.

The purple‑golden dragon vanished, and Fuer Xisi vanished.

The remaining dragons stared at me, I stared at them, all frozen in mid‑air.

Hei Teyao, seeing this, produced another scroll.

The scroll unfurled, turning into a black long spear, its dark tip still stained with crimson blood.

"God‑slayer Demon Spear! Kill!"

The demon spear shot out.

Moments later, the spearhead pierced out from a dragon's neck.

"Wooo......"

The dragon let out a mournful wail, then with a snap fell to the dust.

Hei Teyao waved his hands, again directing the demon spear toward the dragons in the sky.

"Dong!"

At that moment, the sky suddenly echoed with a thunderous roar.

The source of the great roar was exactly the place where the Dragon Speaker Fu Er Xi Si and his purple‑gold flying dragon vanished.

Dong!

After a moment, the great roar rose again.

Hei Te Yao frowned, then withdrew his demon spear.

"The Dragon Speaker is indeed formidable. I'm afraid even the Dark Cage can't hold that guy for long. Let's get out of here quickly!"

Hei Te Yao finished speaking and tossed another scroll.

The scroll's light flickered and transformed into a silver‑shimmering flying shuttle.

Void‑Evasion Shuttle.

Soaring through sky and earth, a tool for escaping death.

Zhang Xingyu felt a tightening on his body, and in an instant he was inside a cramped cabin. In front of the cabin stood a transparent crystal that showed the scenery ahead with perfect clarity. In the center of the cabin was a metal sphere the size of a pebble, its surface crackling with electric arcs.

That metal sphere was the engine of the Void‑Evasion Shuttle.

Hei Te Yao placed his hand on the metal sphere. In an instant, the sphere emitted a dazzling light.

Boom!

Zhang Xingyu felt his feet tremble, and in the blink of an eye he was beneath the ground.

The temperature inside the cabin suddenly rose, and the air was scorching as if on fire.

"Ya Li Ke Si, this is the Void‑Evasion Shuttle; why the heck aren't you taking it to the sky?"

"The sky is dangerous; underground is safer. My Void‑Evasion Shuttle is top‑grade—can evade sky, earth, and water, all of them. The only downside is its poor heat insulation."

"I'll damn your lungs!"

The Void‑Evasion Shuttle cut through magma, and after a quarter of an hour it had emerged over a hundred li away.

Hei Te Yao let out a long sigh.

"Looks like we're safe!"

"You're about to turn into a roast pig!" Zhang Xingyu gave him a glance.

"Turning into a roast pig is better than losing your life. If you were still following that junior Ha Li now, you might already have gone with him to meet the Hell Demon God."

After a few teasing remarks, Zhang Xingyu stopped paying attention to him.

He marshaled the Spiritual Aura within his body, using all his strength to fend off the surrounding heat wave.

Divine Origin was continuously drawn out, turning into streams of icy water Spiritual Aura.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Just as Zhang Xingyu felt himself being drained, the Earth‑Evasion Shuttle jolted, then burst out of the ground.

Hei Te Yao opened the cabin door, gasping for breath in large gulps.

"Oh dear, I can't go on. I almost suffocated myself to death,"
