Chapter 1353 Black Dragon's Fang
Chapter 1353 Black Dragon's Fang
Black Dragon City, the capital of the Western Dragon Clan.
"Lord Star Dragon, please."
Led by a dragon guard clad in heavy black scale armor, Star Dragon slowly stepped into the magnificent hall.
The demonic sword on his back was wrapped in layers of white cloth. As he walked, his gaze seemed to casually sweep over the surroundings, but in reality, he took in every detail of the hall.
Ancient dragon totems are carved on the towering dome, and the stone pillars on both sides are so thick that it takes several people to encircle them. Lifelike black dragon reliefs are wrapped around the pillars, and the cold obsidian floor reflects the flickering torchlight. The whole hall is filled with a solemn and heavy atmosphere.
"Your Majesty, Lord Xingminglong has arrived." The dragon guard knelt on one knee, his voice echoing in the empty hall.
On his throne, the Black Dragon King Gul'thas slept with his eyes closed. He remained in human form, draped in a jet-black cloak embroidered with dark gold dragon patterns. His resolute face was as if sculpted by a knife, and a pair of winding dragon horns on his forehead gleamed with a metallic sheen. Even in his slumber, he exuded a suffocating aura, like an ancient, lurking beast.
Upon hearing the report, Gul's eyes snapped open, revealing a pair of fiery golden vertical pupils. He looked down at the figure below, his voice deep and thunderous: "Step back."
"Yes." The guard bowed respectfully and quickly left the hall.
Star Dragon calmly met that gaze.
The next second, Gul'thas's dragon wings suddenly unfurled! A black shadow flashed by, space slightly distorted, and he had already traversed hundreds of steps, appearing before the Star Dragon like a ghost. The enormous wings slowly folded, creating a gust of wind.
"So you're the dragon-demon hybrid bloodline breaker that Andrew introduced you to." Gul'sas narrowed his eyes, slowly pacing around the Star Dragon to examine it, his gaze as sharp as a blade.
Star Dragon: "Yes."
Andrew was the company agent who had infiltrated the Western Dragon Kingdom's court, as recommended by Sima Qing.
Gul'thas remained expressionless, already vaguely sensing the extraordinary level emanating from him: "A dragon warrior at the fourth level of the Soul Emperor realm, quite interesting. I had no idea that a Soul Emperor realm expert like you existed within my Western Dragon Kingdom. Did you grow up in my Western Dragon Kingdom? Why have I never heard of you before?"
Xingminglong shrugged: "I am an illegitimate child of dragon and demon race. My father, Heleon, is a nobleman of the Western Dragon Clan, a member of the Purple Dragon Clan. How could he possibly let others know that he had a child with a demon?"
Gul'sas: "So you were living in the Western Dragon Kingdom under an assumed name all along?"
Star Dragon: "Yes."
Gul'thas remained silent for a moment, his dragon tail swaying gently behind him: "Considering Horleone's past achievements, I will temporarily overlook your dark bloodline. Now is a time when I need capable men; are you willing to pledge your allegiance to me?"
Xingminglong smiled and said, "Otherwise what? If I didn't want to, I wouldn't have come here after Lord Andrew's recommendation."
Gul'sas narrowed his eyes: "You have quite the nerve to speak to me like that."
“It’s innate, there’s nothing I can do about it.” Star Dragon grinned. “What can I do when I have the blood of a dark race?”
Gul's dragon eyes instantly turned cold and sharp!
"Humph!"
roar--!!!!
An invisible dragon's roar exploded in the realm of consciousness!
Xingminglong felt an immense pressure descend upon him, and a colossal black Western dragon, obscuring the sky and the sun, appeared in his spiritual realm, glaring angrily!
His bones creaked under the immense pressure, his muscles taut like iron, and the obsidian ground beneath his feet sank slightly. A raging dragon's might surged from all directions, threatening to crush him and force him to his knees!
'Such terrifying pressure...' Ye Ge thought to himself, 'As expected of one of the five strongest beings among all races, this clone alone is indeed difficult to withstand...'
In the end, the Star Dragon withstood the attack...
"Your strength is indeed impressive. It seems Minister Andrew was right; you are a formidable general." Gulsas withdrew his oppressive aura and said expressionlessly, "Just a few days ago, I killed several ministers and generals of the court, many of whom were powerful experts at the sixth or seventh level of the Soul Emperor realm. Yet, they couldn't even withstand a single glance from me. I didn't expect you to withstand it."
"A few days ago?" Xingminglong asked curiously, "Why did you kill them, Your Majesty?"
Gul'thas: "I discovered that they were all suspected of being spies planted in the kingdom by the Gene Corporation, so I killed them all."
Star Dragon: "..."
"Good guy..."
Even though they were only suspects, Gul'thas didn't let any of them go.
However, this suspicion is not unfounded. Those ministers and generals had all had close business dealings with the gene company, and several of them had very close ties with the Myriad Races Chamber of Commerce under the gene company.
Gul'thas, on the other hand, preferred to kill the innocent rather than let the guilty go free.
He was indeed a rather cold-blooded and ruthless king.
It is said that he is the most ruthless among the five strongest beings of all races, and seeing him today confirms this.
“And you?” Gul'thas took a step closer, his scorching black dragon breath almost hitting the Star Dragon’s face, staring coldly into his eyes: “How will you prove your loyalty to me?”
“I can’t prove such a thing.” Xingminglong shrugged again, looking calm. “Your Majesty, if you don’t trust me, I’ll have to leave now. Or if you want to eliminate me like you eliminated those suspected ministers and generals, I’ll have to fight you here and then run away from the Western Dragon Kingdom.”
"..." Gul'thas stared at him for a while longer with his abyss-like, icy eyes: "Do you think you can escape if I were to attack you now?"
"I may not be able to defeat you," Star Dragon smiled, "but I can definitely escape."
"..."
"Hmph, you have far more guts than any of my former generals and ministers."
Gul'thas snorted coldly, his face still frosty, but he threw out a dragon tooth as black as ink.
Star Dragon took it casually; its touch was icy cold.
"From this day forward, you shall be my personal guard," Gul'thas said indifferently. "Hold this token and await my command at any time."
Star Dragon lowered his eyes to examine the black dragon tooth in his hand.
This dragon tooth is clearly different from the crimson dragon tooth that Senior Sister Ao Xin gave him before. This is obviously the dragon tooth of a Western dragon, and it seems to have been sealed with some kind of restriction.
[Item: Black Dragon's Fang]
[Quality: Gold]
[Description: Special item. A token of the Black Dragon King Gul'thas. Holding this item signifies that you have become the Black Dragon King's personal guard, capable of relaying his orders, and granting you free access to all restricted areas of the Western Dragonflight Kingdom.]
[Note: This special item is sealed with an unknown restriction, making it impossible to mobilize the Western Dragon Clan's military power.]
Ye Ge thought to herself, "I knew it wouldn't be that easy..."
The Crimson Dragon Fang that his senior sister gave him could directly mobilize an army of 100,000 Eastern Dragons.
However, the Black Dragon King's black dragon tooth can basically only be used as an identification document.
It seems that after what happened last time, the Black Dragon King is no longer likely to trust anyone easily.
"Go down," Gul'sas said calmly.
"Yes." Xingminglong raised his hands and clasped them together respectfully, then turned and left.
Gul'thas stared at the departing figure of the Star Dragon, his gaze lingering for a moment on the demonic sword tightly wrapped in white cloth behind him, his dragon eyes narrowing slightly.
