Chapter 1247: Bloodline Burning + Blood Burning (First update, requesting everything)

Aside from offering one's neck to the slaughter, there is also surrender, but this mainly depends on the other party.

Most importantly, the Disaster King had no intention of surrendering at all.

Of course, there is also fighting to the death.

The Disaster King adopted a two-pronged plan: on the surface, he feigned surrender to stall for time, while secretly having his Demon Pets risk severe vitality damage to break through the cage that was the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array.

"Your Highness Quan Wang, this seat... I surrender!"

The Disaster King's voice rang out; Ning Bizhen could not help but look at Li Zhangsheng, though she did not have her Demon Pets cease their attack because of this.

Li Zhangsheng raised an eyebrow; if he had a Top-tier Double-Character King like the Disaster King as a subordinate, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.

It was just that, who knew if the Disaster King was truly surrendering, or feigning surrender?

These old fogies who had lived for hundreds of years were all like human spirits, and especially as Li Zhangsheng put himself in the Disaster King's shoes, he felt that the other party would likely not surrender.

The Disaster King held a revered status, second only to the Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors, so his pride was naturally higher than average; it was obvious he had thoughts of seizing the Emperor Rank, which was why he had never pledged allegiance to the Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors.

"Disaster King, do you think this seat would believe that?"

As Li Zhangsheng replied, he continued to bombard the palace; the Forbidden Array outside the entire palace grew increasingly weak, giving the impression that it was crumbling.

"I can swear by the Heavenly Dao, I beg Your Highness Quan Wang to stop!"

"You first swear to the Heavenly Dao that you will pledge your loyalty to me for a lifetime, never to betray me, and only then will I stop!"

Li Zhangsheng still did not stop, and his Demon Pets, having received no command from him, naturally would not cease.

He was the type who wouldn't release the hawk until he saw the hare; before the dust settled, it was naturally impossible for him to stop.

"I... Pfft..."

The Disaster King was filled with indignation, but before he could say anything, the backlash in his Consciousness Sea surged even more violently, a sweetness rose in his throat, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.

It turned out that while the two were talking, the Great Sun Fire Crow, in coordination with the Long-Eared Cold Jade Rabbit, had finally finished off the Disaster King's Heavenly Paradise Double-Pupil Bird.

The entire situation was already precarious for the Disaster King, deteriorating completely; if he could not think of a way out, what awaited the Disaster King would be his fall.

"This old man will swear right now, the Heavenly Dao is above..."

The Disaster King's voice rang out again, and while taking the oath, he kept observing the situation.

Unfortunately, the offensive from Li Zhangsheng and his Demon Pets never slowed down; seeing that Li Zhangsheng had not fallen for the trick, the Disaster King's voice stopped involuntarily.

Even if only a sliver of hope for escape remained, he could not possibly pledge loyalty to Li Zhangsheng, especially since the other party had killed five of his Saint Grade Spirit Pets, almost cutting off his possibility of advancing further; his only hope was to obtain the Star Emperor Inheritance, but if he pledged loyalty to Li Zhangsheng, he could forget about that.

The hatred of blocking one's Dao is irreconcilable!

"Disaster King, continue!"

When the Disaster King paused, Li Zhangsheng began to urge him.

Seeing that Li Zhangsheng never revealed a flaw and instead increased his losses, the Disaster King had the feeling of trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice.

Fight it out!

The Disaster King knew he had to act as quickly as possible, otherwise, if he continued to drag it out, there would be no hope of escaping the perilous situation.

Bloodline Burning, Blood Burning!

The Disaster King endured the backlash and simultaneously applied two desperate Secret Techniques to his Demon Emperor Level Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon.

Bloodline Burning and Blood Burning could be used at the same time, but 1+1 < 2, and the duration would also be significantly shortened; even for a Demon Emperor Level Demon Pet, it could likely only hold out for one or two minutes.

Even so, in order to escape the perilous situation, the Disaster King had no other choice.

The Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon, which was besieging Kailan together with the Ancient Nine-Headed Snake, saw its already massive dragon body swell even further; even with the cover of Dragon Scales, veins still bulged out, and blood-colored flames appeared on its body surface, looking exceptionally ferocious.

The Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon's aura surged, but there was no joy in its eyes, only dead silence; it could not help but look back at its master, and finally, with determination, it charged toward Kailan.

Under the Bloodline Burning + Blood Burning Secret Technique, the Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon's strength was not at all inferior to Kailan's, not to mention the assistance of the Ancient Nine-Headed Snake.

However, just as Kailan deployed a defensive stance, the Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon bypassed her and charged toward Aixi.

The Disaster King faced two choices: one was to forcibly break the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array, and the second was to kill Li Zhangsheng's Life-Bound Demon Pet—Aixi—at all costs.

In his decision, the Disaster King resolutely chose a desperate counterattack, because he knew that if he didn't kill Li Zhangsheng, he, having suffered severe damage to his vitality, could only hide and linger on his last breath, yet the Star Emperor Inheritance was his final hope.

Only by obtaining the Star Emperor Inheritance would the Disaster King still have hope of coveting the Emperor Rank.

"Stop it!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, Yuangungun was the first to block in front of the Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon, the Seven Treasures Sumeru Divine Light on its body surface radiating outward, while simultaneously condensing wide and thick Ice Wall barriers in the void.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom~

The Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon, burning with blood-colored flames, was like a hot knife through butter; countless ice shards flew everywhere as it easily smashed through the Ice Walls one by one, and with momentum still remaining, it slammed into the curled-up Yuangungun.

Yuangungun only felt a wave of intense pain, followed by a dizzying spin, and was sent flying by the Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon, but this also greatly delayed the Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon's charge.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kailan pointed a finger, and countless vines emerged from the void, binding the Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon tightly.

The Four-Clawed Yellow Dragon rushed over and opened its mouth to spit out a Dragon Pearl the size of a water bucket.

Dragon Pearls could be said to be the trump card of the Dragon Clan; to avoid damage to the Dragon Pearl, they would not use it lightly.

The Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon struggled violently and broke free from all the vines, but it was precisely this moment that caused it to lose the chance to deal with the Dragon Pearl, and it was hit head-on by the Dragon Pearl in its dragon body.

Roar~

In pain, the Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon was knocked into a somersault, and only after retreating a distance did it barely manage to stop.

Between the chest and abdomen of the Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon, there was an additional blood-hole deep enough to see bone, and one could even see the wriggling internal organs.

The Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon wanted to destroy the Dragon Pearl, but the Four-Clawed Yellow Dragon displayed extremely fast speed; as the Ying Dragon is the fastest of the Dragon Clan, one could imagine how fast its speed was.

Although the Four-Clawed Yellow Dragon was not yet a Ying Dragon, its speed was similarly very fast; only Aixi could have an advantage, and that was only because Aixi was carrying two Semi-Artifacts that increased speed.

Besides speed, the Four-Clawed Yellow Dragon also possessed a powerful physical body, as well as the ability to manipulate Wind and rain.

The Four-Clawed Yellow Dragon retrieved the Dragon Pearl a step ahead and took the opportunity to claw at the Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon's wound.

The Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon shifted its dragon body slightly, using an uninjured part to withstand the Four-Clawed Yellow Dragon's Dragon Claw, lowered its head, and delivered an Iron Head Skill, smashing fiercely into the Four-Clawed Yellow Dragon.

The Four-Clawed Yellow Dragon, like a falling meteorite, crashed down from high altitude at high speed; even the hard ground of the Star Palace could not withstand it, and it was smashed into a large crater.
