Chapter 1386: Twelve-Rank Kui Water Black Lotus (Second Update, requesting all)

However, the East Sea Dragon Queen held an extremely high status within the East Sea Dragon Clan, so how could she be without powerful Strange Treasures?

Just as the four-clawed silver dragon was about to close in, a twelve-rank Kui Water Black Lotus appeared above the East Sea Dragon Queen's head, transforming into a heavy water curtain that enveloped her within.

The four-clawed silver dragon's attack landed on the water curtain, only able to stir up layer upon layer of ripples; it was impregnable.

The reason the East Sea Dragon Queen did not use the Kui Water Black Lotus at the very beginning was mainly because she had been caught off guard by the four-clawed silver dragon and had no time to deploy it.

Furthermore, even as a Top-tier Divine Beast, her Mental Power was relatively limited, and the Langhuan Supreme Treasure consumed a great deal of Mental Power, making it difficult to sustain; it could only be used at critical moments.

After successfully neutralizing the four-clawed silver dragon's offensive, in order to conserve Mental Power, the East Sea Dragon Queen began Surfing and swept toward the four-clawed silver dragon.

Seeing this scene, the four-clawed silver dragon did not avoid the Keen Edge, but instead took the initiative to meet her head-on.

Suddenly, a Five-Colored Divine Light swept in from the rear, and before the East Sea Dragon Queen could react, it struck the heavy water curtain emitted by the Kui Water Black Lotus; it was the Five-Colored Peacock transformed by Li Zhangsheng making a move.

In an instant, the heavy water curtain vanished, forcibly sealed within the water-blue tail feathers of the Five-Colored Peacock, which represented the Water Element.

Time Stop!

Before the East Sea Dragon Queen could trigger the Kui Water Black Lotus again, the four-clawed silver dragon directly unleashed its trump card, and time within a radius of several hundred meters centered on the East Sea Dragon Queen was forcibly stopped.

The four-clawed silver dragon felt very bad; the consumption of Time Stop far exceeded Time Acceleration and Time Deceleration, and the time energy within its Dragon Pearl was flowing away at an extremely rapid speed.

Additionally, the longer the Time Stop lasted and the higher the realm of the target, the more energy it consumed, and the greater the possibility of the opponent breaking free prematurely.

Being both at the Demon Emperor Level, the four-clawed silver dragon could likely only freeze the East Sea Dragon Queen for a few seconds.

However, a few seconds was enough.

In an instant, the four-clawed silver dragon spat out a silvery-white Dragon Pearl, which transformed into a streak of light and smashed straight toward the East Sea Dragon Queen's reverse scale.

The East Sea Dragon Queen was still unable to move, and as she watched the Dragon Pearl about to strike her reverse scale, if it were hit, given the power of the Dragon Pearl, she would likely perish on the spot.

At the critical moment, a cute-looking cloth doll suddenly appeared at the East Sea Dragon Queen's reverse scale, and when the Dragon Pearl collided with the doll, the force was instantly neutralized.

At the same time, the cloth doll turned into fly ash and vanished, allowing the East Sea Dragon Queen to avoid the fate of perishing.

"Substitute Doll!"

Li Zhangsheng recognized it immediately, because he himself had a Substitute Doll, which came from the King of Hundred Victories; ever since he obtained the Substitute Doll, it had been carried by his Life-Bound Demon Pet Aixi, but it had not been used to this day.

Substitute Doll: Collects the aura of a Monster Tamer or Demon Pet. When the user or the Demon Pet suffers a fatal blow, the Substitute Doll will automatically activate, exempting the fatal blow and allowing the user or the Demon Pet to avoid the fate of perishing. Note: Cannot exempt an attack of the Emperor Rank.

Although the power of the four-clawed silver dragon's Dragon Pearl was extremely strong, comparable to the power of the Emperor Rank, it was ultimately not an Emperor Rank offensive because the essence was different; after all, the Emperor Rank possesses the Great Dao Origin, which is a step further than Rule Power, and that is why it could be completely neutralized by the Substitute Doll.

As the East Sea Dragon King's primary consort, it was not surprising that the East Sea Dragon Queen possessed a Substitute Doll.

However, the materials required for a Substitute Doll were too rare, and the production difficulty was too high, so the East Sea Dragon Clan likely did not have many.

After the Substitute Doll neutralized the fatal blow, a jade pendant automatically appeared on the East Sea Dragon Queen; this was unexpectedly another type of treasure that could be triggered passively, and it was very likely bound together with the Substitute Doll.

In an instant, the East Sea Dragon Queen's massive dragon body disappeared, reappearing dozens of miles away.

Because she had left the area where time was stopped, the East Sea Dragon Queen regained her ability to move, and at the same time, she received the scene that had just occurred.

A look of lingering fear appeared in the East Sea Dragon Queen's large dragon eyes; if she hadn't bound the Substitute Doll, she would likely have perished from that last strike.

"My King, my strength is limited; I shall go seek reinforcements!"

Seeing the four-clawed silver dragon charging toward her again, the East Sea Dragon Queen was like a frightened bird; she did not have a second Substitute Doll, so she hurriedly found an excuse to slip away.

There is great terror between life and death, and the East Sea Dragon Queen was no exception; she admitted she could not beat the four-clawed silver dragon, and if the opponent used Time Stop again, she feared she would be finished, so she could only choose to run for her life.

Moreover, the East Sea Dragon Queen also saw the situation clearly: without the support of a major power, the East Sea Dragon Clan alone would likely be finished.

"Dragon Queen, you..."

The East Sea Dragon King, who was already in a wretched state, could not help but show an expression of disbelief upon hearing the East Sea Dragon Queen's voice; so much for sharing weal and woe.

Boom—

Suddenly, the Northern Underworld Aurora Magnetic Mountain smashed heavily into the East Sea Dragon King, directly knocking him flying for a short distance.

Before the East Sea Dragon King could steady his footing, more than ten Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets seized the opportunity to attack; even though the East Sea Dragon King was extremely strong and possessed many treasures, he still suffered many wounds, and the situation became increasingly precarious.

"Why hasn't Feng'er returned yet?"

The East Sea Dragon Clan had two Emperor Rank dragons, namely the East Sea Dragon King and his eldest son, Ao Feng.

Among them, Ao Feng had always been guarding the border of the East Sea, guarding against the Wicked Dragon of the Despair Strait.

This Wicked Dragon was also an Emperor Rank dragon and had lived for who knows how many years; he was once an elite among the Four Seas Dragon Clan, but because he committed the crime of killing a clansman, he voluntarily fled the Four Seas before being wanted by the Dragon Clan, fighting and fleeing, eventually successfully escaping into the Despair Strait, where he was lucky enough to obtain a great opportunity, finally achieving the Emperor Rank and becoming the master of a major power.

It was not that the Four Seas Dragon Clan had not thought about reconciliation, but the clansman killed by the Wicked Dragon was the East Sea Dragon King's favorite youngest son at the time, and under the East Sea Dragon King's strong intervention, the two sides did not reach a reconciliation.

The East Sea Dragon King did not know that at this moment, Ao Feng was completely unable to provide rescue, because the Wicked Dragon of the Despair Strait had personally led an army to attack and had even entangled Ao Feng.

Naturally, things could not be such a coincidence; this was also Li Zhangsheng's handiwork, acting on the principle that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, and the two sides had reached an agreement in secret.

Thus, the moment the East Sea Dragon King appeared, Li Zhangsheng notified the Wicked Dragon, who then entangled Ao Feng.

If Ao Feng wanted to shake off the Wicked Dragon, he would likely have to spend some effort, and as a price, the East Sea border would inevitably fall.

As for the story of this Wicked Dragon, Li Zhangsheng did have some understanding; it was nothing more than the East Sea Dragon King doting too much on his youngest son, leading the youngest son to be arrogant and domineering, bullying others, and wanting to forcibly seize the Wicked Dragon's partner, which ultimately led to the Wicked Dragon killing the dragon by mistake.

The name "Wicked Dragon" was mainly bestowed upon him by the East Sea Dragon King, primarily to smear his reputation.
