Chapter 533: The Dragon King's Fury (13)

Ao Zhun did not understand.

He really did not understand!

He had clearly hidden himself very well!

In order not to alarm others, he even did as those people said, painfully abandoning his original body and letting an empty shell remain in place to continue causing chaos.

He severed his own arm and used this severed limb to reshape a physical body; not only was his own strength greatly reduced, capable of exerting only the strength of the Ask Dao Late Stage, but this act was also cutting off his own path of retreat, a move that completely damaged his foundation, making the matter of breaking through almost entirely hopeless.

Unless those people could truly provide the Immortal Grass and Immortal Pill they spoke of, he would have no possibility of recovery or even further advancement; otherwise, he would have no chance of recovery for the rest of his life.

He had clearly already paid such a great price, and had already made such a great sacrifice!

But why was he exposed now?

While shocked and bewildered, Ao Zhun felt immense fury.

He had been deceived.

Could there be any other explanation for the current situation?

There was none!

He had been deceived!!!

There was a mole; he had been betrayed!

Ao Zhun had not told anyone about his secret arrival in Zhongzhou; in the entire world, besides him, only one organization knew of this matter.

The Butian Alliance!

It was they who secretly approached him, helped him wake from his state of madness, and provided medicine to suppress his Dao Injury, allowing him to live for another twenty years.

It was also they who extended an olive branch, provided the technique for the Transformation of Severed Limbs, and promised the benefits of Immortal Pills and Immortal Scriptures...

Ao Zhun had thought this was the final opportunity of his life, but he had not expected that what he would receive in return was betrayal!

Feeling deceived, the old dragon was furious; he suddenly turned his head to look at the person accompanying him, killing intent boiling in his eyes, his molars nearly bitten to pieces, and he squeezed a low roar from his throat:

"You deceived me!!!"

I, the dignified East Sea Dragon King, was actually deceived by someone!

You Butian Alliance have such great audacity to actually dare to deceive me!!!

Targeted by the berserk Ao Zhun, the Butian Alliance envoy, who had disguised his face, instantly felt a terrifying crisis of death.

Not good, this old dragon has truly gone mad!

He really wants to kill me!

Tch.

Everyone said this was not a good job; he had gritted his teeth to take the risk, and the journey had been smooth, but in the end, something went wrong...

"This is troublesome." The envoy sighed, feeling that everything was no longer pleasant, and the world was dim.

He did not even know why this old dragon had suddenly gone mad.

Had they not been talking perfectly well before!?

Why!!?

Then, he caught the sound of discussions nearby.

"That old dragon from the East Sea will also be restricted after entering this place, and he might even die under the Restriction; if we are lucky, we might be able to pick up some good things like Dragon Blood or Dragon Whip!"

"Dragon Whip! You really dare to think that; which expert would be willing to leave behind this treasure?"

"A female expert, obviously; they don't have one, so it's useless for them to eat it."

"Stupid! Do female experts not have husbands? Do they not have lovers? Can't they keep it to sell for money!?"

"If there is no Dragon Whip, then getting some Dragon Meat will do; it must also be a great tonic, the same thing!"

After speaking, the two of them revealed smiles that all men understand, lewdly thrusting their waists, and let out strange, lecherous laughs.

After hearing this, the envoy was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened as well.

Damn it!

What are you thinking about!?

I wouldn't even dare to think of such things, how dare you say it directly to his face!

Also, what is this situation!?

How is it that the matter of Ao Zhun is already known to everyone?

Who leaked the news?

Is there a mole?

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! There must be a huge misunderstanding here!"

However, even though the situation was so dangerous, the envoy did not sit and wait for death; he had just heard the discussion of those people.

Feeling that the situation was bad, the moment Ao Zhun erupted, he had already fled from the spot, flashing several zhang away!

While moving away from Ao Zhun, he hurriedly sent a voice transmission, soothing him repeatedly: "There must be some mistake somewhere! Our Butian Alliance would absolutely never betray you!"

But the envoy's actions, like a frightened bird, only confirmed his thoughts in Ao Zhun's eyes.

This Butian Alliance is truly harming me, truly plotting against me!

"You still dare to run!?"

The old man transformed by Ao Zhun was furious; ignoring the onlookers, he roared loudly and charged after the envoy: "If you have no guilty conscience, why run!? Stand still for me!"

Seeing his ferocious appearance, how could the envoy dare to stop? His feet moved rapidly, his speed surged once more, and while running, he explained: "Dragon King! Dragon King! Don't be agitated yet! I will go confirm the situation with the others, and I will definitely give you a perfect explanation afterward!"

If it were not for the fact that the Central Divine Continent was special and prohibited all methods of teleportation, this envoy would have long since teleported away, and would not still be circling and playing cat-and-mouse with a mad dragon!

Perhaps because Zhongzhou was truly once the residence of the Heavenly Emperor, this place had many restrictions; not only was teleportation forbidden, but it also restricted strength at the Ask Dao level, so the destruction that those at the Ask Dao level could cause was limited.

This envoy was a Star Constellation Envoy under the Xianglou Star Envoy, with the title 【Kui】. Although his own strength was only at the No-Phase stage, he had his reasons for being able to take on the task of leading Ao Zhun to Zhongzhou—speed.

Kui's attainments in escape techniques were unparalleled in the world; among all the No-Phase experts in the Butian Alliance, he dared to claim second place, and no one dared to claim first; his limit speed was even faster than many Ask Dao experts!

Seeing that Kui's speed was getting faster and faster and he was about to successfully escape from his side, Ao Zhun's ferocity erupted; his right side suddenly lunged forward, instantly transforming into a dragon claw that extended outward, and the distance between the two rapidly shortened.

"Dragon King! I'll be taking my leave first! The mountains are high and the waters are long! We shall meet again in the jianghu... What!?" After circling for a while, Kui felt secure and his heart relaxed; just as he was about to tease him a bit more, he suddenly felt his heart jump.

Not good!

Sure enough, the moment he prepared to accelerate again, a massive dragon claw grabbed his waist fiercely.

Crack!

In an instant, Kui heard the chilling sound of his own bones breaking, and a mouthful of blood surged to his throat.

"Cough!" He let his head hang down powerlessly, his whole body collapsing; he had almost been crushed to death by Ao Zhun in that instant.

The gap in strength made Kui feel terror; even though this old dragon was subject to many restrictions and his strength was not what it used to be, he was still this terrifying.

Ao Zhun did not crush Kui to death immediately; he wanted to interrogate him properly and dig out everything this fellow knew.

He threw Kui, who now looked like a pile of mud with most of his bones shattered, onto the ground and roared wildly at him, shaking the earth:

"You dare to deceive me!!!"

"You wanted to trick me into severing my own arm! So you could target me!"

"I was wondering why you would take the initiative to find me and specifically provide me with this technique, talking about pills and techniques that would help me break through; so it was all for this!"

"Isn't it just that you wanted to kill me, swallow my flesh and blood, peel my skin and scales, and extract my tendons and marrow!?"

"Hahahaha!"

Amidst the terrified and uneasy gazes of the people around, the yellow-bearded old man raised his foot and stomped fiercely onto the man's face.

Thud!

Thud!!

Thud!!!

After stomping several times, Ao Zhun finally vented some of the rage in his heart, left Kui with a breath of life, and laughed hideously:

"Though this King is old, I am not someone you can scheme against!"

"You dare to scheme against me! Then you will pay the price!!!"

After shouting this, Ao Zhun turned his head abruptly, his fierce gaze looking at the crowd behind him, and said slowly: "You all saw it."

The chilling killing intent rushed over without any concealment, making everyone smell a scent of blood.

!!!

This fellow had developed killing intent; he wanted to leave everyone present here!

"No! This senior, we didn't see anything!" Someone spoke up hurriedly, wanting to appease Ao Zhun, not wanting to be drawn into this crisis for no reason.

"Yes, yes! We don't know what grudges you have between you, and it has nothing to do with us; besides, everyone comes to Zhongzhou to risk their lives, this kind of thing is too common."

"Exactly so, we would all do the same; you don't need to think about killing us to silence us, senior!"

Was it that they didn't want to run before?

No!

The incident happened suddenly; they had no time to run at all. Ao Zhun and Kui had blocked the path of departure, and the chase had ended in just a few breaths, giving them no time to react.

Some wanted to persuade Ao Zhun, but a few others disdained to bow their heads to him, sneering: "What? Do you actually want to keep all of us here? We are all the handiwork of the Kings; it is simple for you to kill us, but afterwards, you will have to face the pursuit of the Kings!"

They were the elite sent into this place by the Eastern Wasteland Royal Court, and some even possessed royal bloodlines; they were used to acting tyrannically in the Eastern Wasteland, and although they were surprised by Ao Zhun's strength, they were not afraid at all.

Just a loose cultivator, even if his strength was great, what use was it?

"... Eastern Wasteland Kings?" Ao Zhun narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly, "The rulers of the Eastern Wasteland Divine Continent?"

"Exactly! Since you know, why not move aside quickly and stop blocking the way!"

But just when they thought the old man had calmed down after hearing this title, the old man spoke suddenly after a few breaths of silence, his tone extremely disdainful: "Heh! Truly laughable, any ant dares to call themselves a King?"

"What did you say! You dare to be disrespectful to the Royal Court!?" The royal clansman who had spoken before was furious and stepped forward, wanting to argue properly with this fellow who disrespected the Royal Court.

Pop.

In an instant, as a strong wind blew, that person's head exploded instantly, dying on the spot, and red and white matter splashed onto the people around.

!!!

Ao Zhun slowly withdrew his finger, stared at the group of explorers of varying strength, and said eerily: "Weren't you going to kill me?"

"Didn't you want this King's Dragon Blood and Dragon Whip?"

"Come on!"

Ao Zhun grinned, tore off the robe that had been ripped when his arm transformed into a dragon, revealing his sturdy muscles and layers of scales, and the Demon Qi hidden on his body erupted with a boom.

Boom!

Since his tracks had already been leaked, there was no need to hide anymore.

Didn't you want to kill me?

Come on, all of you!!!

"Dragon King!"

"Damn it, it really is this beast! How is my luck so bad!"

Those who dared to come to Zhongzhou to risk their lives were not weak; the weakest among those present were at the Spirit Transformation realm, and having cultivated for so long, few were idiots. Some had already had their suspicions when they saw the dragon claw, and at this moment, it was finally confirmed.

And after the shock, all that was left in their hearts was cursing.

Damn it, how did I hit such bad luck!

"What are you afraid of! So what if he is the Dragon King? He is only one person! Even if he is an Asking Dao Great Demon, he might not be able to kill all of us!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Run in different directions! There is still a chance to live!"

Everyone understood that if they didn't run now, they would never have the chance to run again; without needing to discuss it, they scattered and fled.

"Run!?"

Ao Zhun laughed hideously, let out a dragon roar, and dazzling lightning flashed around his body; like Linglei descending to the mortal world, he blasted toward the fleeing crowd!

"None of you think you can run!"

"All of you, die for me!"

In an instant, screams rang out one after another; more than half of the dozens of explorers were reduced to charred remains!

And just as everyone was on the verge of total annihilation, a sigh sounded from behind the crowd.

"Sigh..."

Clatter.

Accompanied by the sound of metal colliding, a thick monk's staff flew out at high speed like a cannonball and struck Ao Zhun's dragon claw, actually knocking it off course!

Boom!!!

"Who is it!? Who dares to stop me!!!" Ao Zhun was stunned for a moment before flying into a rage, looking toward the direction from which the monk's staff had flown back.

"This benefactor, your killing intent is too heavy; do not recklessly commit more Evil."

A tall monk draped in a crimson monk's robe slowly walked out from behind the crowd, pressed his palms together in a salute toward Ao Zhun, and said slowly:

"The sea of suffering is boundless; turn back and the shore is at hand."

"In my opinion, Benefactor, you had best learn some Buddhist Dharma from this poor monk."
