Chapter 274: The Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror

"No!"

The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon flashed, blocking the path in front of the spear tip.

"Damn it!"

Forsyth was furious; a beam of golden light shot out from the tip of the spear.

Without a moment's hesitation, the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon spat out a purple crystal.

Crack!

The purple crystal emitted a soft sound, and cracks appeared all over its surface.

At the same time, the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon let out a muffled groan, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from the corner of its mouth.

The purple crystal was its Dragon Crystal, the very essence of its cultivation.

With the Dragon Crystal damaged, the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon was also severely wounded.

"You're courting death!"

Seeing his attack blocked, Forsyth flipped his palm, and a shimmering book appeared in his hand.

The Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror!

Upon seeing the Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror, a look of determination appeared on the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon's face.

"Take my child and leave!"

The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon gritted its teeth, and the purple crystal before it emitted a dazzling light.

"Bastard! You're actually self-destructing your Dragon Crystal!"

Forsyth roared in anger while retreating violently.

"Boom!"

Even though he was already dozens of meters underwater, the massive shockwave still caused Zhang Xingyu to vomit blood.

Accompanied by the immense impact, Zhang Xingyu and the baby dragon arrived at the bottom of the lake.

Above the lake surface, the purple light dissipated.

The massive body of the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon had vanished.

Forsyth floated dozens of yards away, his expression twisted and ferocious.

At this very moment, the golden dragon beneath his feet had turned to ash.

Forsyth's body was charred black, black smoke rose from his face, and blood was gushing down his chin.

His left hand gripped an umbrella handle—the only thing remaining of an umbrella-shaped treasure he had urgently summoned.

His right arm was severed at the elbow; the hand holding the Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror, along with the forearm, had disappeared.

"Bastard, I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

A moment later, Forsyth looked up and let out a roar of rage.

The roar was laced with confusion and unwillingness.

Forsyth had never imagined that the one who would cause him the greatest harm would be his once-closest partner.

Forsyth had never imagined that the gentle-natured Purple-Gold Divine Dragon would be so resolute in self-destructing its Dragon Crystal.

At the bottom of the lake.

Zhang Xingyu held the baby dragon and swam with all his might toward the six-pointed altar.

He didn't have time to wipe the blood from his mouth, nor did he have time to take out medicine to heal his wounds.

He told himself: faster, go faster.

Wherever he passed, the lake water was stained a faint golden-red.

It is said to be slow, but it happened in an instant.

In less than a minute, he had reached the altar.

In the center of the altar, the crystal within the bronze mirror emitted a faint, eerie glow.

Beside the bronze mirror lay a charred hand, its five fingers tightly gripping a golden book.

The Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror?

Zhang Xingyu grabbed the hand and the book, stuffing them into his magic bag.

Zhang Xingyu was extremely anxious.

Right now, the situation on the lake surface was unclear.

The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon had self-destructed; it had used its self-destruction to win precious escape time for him and the baby dragon.

However, Zhang Xingyu did not know the method to open the Dragon Domain passage.

Zhang Xingyu circled the bronze mirror three times, flashing through a dozen possible ways to open the passage in his mind, only to reject them one by one.

Just then, a loud noise came from the water surface.

Zhang Xingyu looked toward the sound and saw the one-armed, black-faced Forsyth parting the waves and stepping toward him.

Zhang Xingyu's expression changed drastically; he picked up the baby dragon and swam toward the other side of the lake.

Since he couldn't find a way to leave for the moment, he would prioritize saving his own life first.

Zhang Xingyu knew that with his abilities, he was no match for Forsyth at all.

Even if this Forsyth was already severely injured.

He rushed out of the water and flew away on his sword.

Behind him, Forsyth rode a bone dragon in hot pursuit.

This bone dragon was massive, its color like black iron, and its spread-out bone wings whistled in the wind.

In the blink of an eye, they had flown hundreds of miles.

Seeing that the Spiritual Aura in his body was nearly exhausted, Zhang Xingyu's mind shifted, and he steered his sword toward the holy land of the Dragon Domain: the Dragon Language Stone Palace.

The Dragon Language Stone Palace had the guardians of the Dragon Domain; he believed Forsyth would not dare to act recklessly there.

If there was any place that could help Zhang Xingyu escape Forsyth's pursuit, it was undoubtedly the Dragon Language Stone Palace.

On the back of the bone dragon, Forsyth frowned slightly.

That lowly worm had changed direction. If he let him escape into the Dragon Language Stone Palace, it would be very difficult to catch him.

Thinking of this, Forsyth took out a bone whistle and blew a sharp, piercing note.

The whistle echoed throughout the Dragon Domain.

The whistle was a command.

Flying dragons emerged from their nests one after another, rapidly surrounding Zhang Xingyu.

Damn it!

Looking at the flying dragons filling the sky, Zhang Xingyu's heart sank to the bottom.

His mind raced, but he couldn't find any countermeasure in such a short time.

A moment later, he was completely surrounded by flying dragons above, below, left, and right.

In the end, he had been surrounded.

A trace of despair welled up in Zhang Xingyu's heart.

"Hahaha! Lowly worm, keep running if you can!"

A hundred meters behind him, Forsyth stopped while riding the bone dragon.

A victorious smile appeared on his charred face.

The human in front was already trapped in layers of encirclement. Now was the time to torture him.

Forsyth was in no rush to execute Zhang Xingyu.

Executing a person was easy, but he wanted to make Zhang Xingyu wish he were dead.

Looking at the dense swarm of flying dragons before him, looking at the hissing and roaring flying dragons before him, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Zhang Xingyu.

This flash of inspiration was a straw—a life-saving straw.

Thus, he used all his strength to shout to the flying dragons in front: "Flying dragons, I am the new Dragon Speaker, I am a friend of the Dragon race. The one chasing behind me is a demon. This demon enslaves you, drives you, and uses your young as food. Are you going to help this demon deal with your friends?"

The flying dragons stirred for a moment, then quieted down.

Seeing this, Forsyth laughed: "Pathetic worm, don't indulge in wishful thinking. No matter how you provoke them, they won't listen to you. Because I am the great Forsyth, the master of the Dragon Domain, the owner of the flying dragons. Any flying dragon that dares to resist me has already become food in my belly."

"Screw you! Forsyth, you cruel demon, you are not fit to be the master of the Dragon Domain or the owner of the flying dragons. Flying dragons, have you forgotten your former freedom? Flying dragons, have you forgotten your former glory? Resist, flying dragons. Give me liberty or give me death!"

The surrounding flying dragons all lowered their heads upon hearing this.

Damn it!

It seemed these flying dragons had been enslaved by Forsyth for so long that they had lost their backbone.

Seeing this, Zhang Xingyu understood that placing his hope for survival on them was unrealistic.

To survive, he had to rely on himself.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xingyu turned around and took out the charred hand from his storage ring; the hand was still gripping the golden book.

The Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror.

At this moment, only this Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror could be used as a bargaining chip.

With a flick of his finger, the charred hand turned to ash.

He held the Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror high and shouted at Forsyth: "Forsyth, look at what this is!"

Forsyth's expression changed abruptly.

Through bloodline resonance, he had long known that the Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror was in Zhang Xingyu's hands.

This was also the reason why he wanted to capture Zhang Xingyu alive.

He had secretly prayed in his heart that Zhang Xingyu would overlook this Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror.

However, the thing he feared most had happened.

Seeing Forsyth's expression, Zhang Xingyu thought, "There's a chance."

This Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror was indeed important to Forsyth.

His left hand ignited with flames, aimed at the Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror in his right hand.

"Forsyth, tell them to back off. Otherwise, we'll both lose everything; you won't get this Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror back either!" ===== CHAPTER 275 =====
