Capítulo 30: Chapter 30 The Ferocious Demon Dragon
What is the experience of being stared at by a giant beast with angry eyes?
Lin Yun only felt a chill run from the crown of his head straight down to his tailbone.
"There has been a misunderstanding. Why don't you try to see if you can reattach it?"
Bai Jiaojiao began to admire Lin Yun, as he could still speak under such circumstances, which was indeed a rare talent.
"Was it you who did this?"
The voice of the Red Dragon was paced deliberately, like thunderbolts exploding, and Lin Yun hastily defended himself, "How could it be me? Look, I'm just a mortal. How could I harm a dragon's body? It was that man who did it; I was just keeping it safe for him."
Anyway, with Daoist Master Huang Long unconscious, he couldn't explain anything.
Fortunately, the clever Lin Yun had burnt Qiuping earlier, or else it would have been impossible to explain now.
But at this moment, one of the balls that had just been stuffed into his cloth bag started to move. Lin Yun quickly grasped the bag tightly, but a red light shone and the ball burned right through the bag and flew out.
At the same time, two other fleshy balls fell to the ground.
"I was also keeping these two safe for someone."
Lin Yun didn't know whether his explanation would be believed, but that's what he said anyway.
The bead emitting a red light slowly flew into the dragon's mouth. Bai Jiaojiao also felt regretful as she watched; the Dragon Ball had been within arm's reach, yet she did not manage to secure it, and now she wasn't even sure if she could make it out alive.
"Unforgivable!"
The Red Dragon glared at Lin Yun with rage and roared indignantly. Billows of dark qi surged from its body, and soon it had become a dragon enshrouded in black mist, its body visible one moment and obscured the next, but it looked even more terrifying now.
Is this what going dark looks like?
But Bai Jiaojiao had recognized the truth—that this was in fact a Demon Dragon!
If a True Dragon were blessed by heaven and earth, it'd be surrounded by an auspicious aura, whereas this dragon had an aura of fierce malevolence around it, indicating untold misdeeds.
No wonder the Ghost Soul had wanted them as a sacrifice. Only a Demon Dragon would do such a thing.
"Please see the truth, noble one. It was that member of the Human Race who harmed your body, not us. In light of us both being from the Dragon Clan, may you grant us a path to live?"
Hearing Bai Jiaojiao's words, Lin Yun was stunned. What's with these big shots all being so flexible nowadays?
Begging for mercy so quickly?
"To leave this place, it seems only this Demon Dragon can make it happen. The Dragon Qi in me is even more abundant; it will likely want to consume me even more. I will attract its attention later and lead it to break the confinement. You take Xiao Qing and run. There is but a slim chance of survival; whether we succeed or not is up to fate."
It was at that moment that Bai Jiaojiao used Divine Sense to communicate with Lin Yun.
She, of course, knew that if it were a True Dragon, her plea for mercy might work. But to the Demon Dragon that had just awakened, she was nothing more than a meal.
She said these things only as a performance, to deceive the Demon Dragon.
"You presume to call yourself part of the Dragon Clan?"
The Demon Dragon glanced disdainfully at Bai Jiaojiao.
"You are nothing but a lowly reptile, possessing only a trace of True Dragon blood."
Well, this racial superiority complex infuriated Bai Jiaojiao instantly.
Bai Jiaojiao retorted angrily, "Times change. Do not look down on the young and poor. Who knows, in a hundred years, I may as well become a dragon!"
"What a joke! Dragons are born as dragons. You reptiles, however, are indulging in a delusion. Just like this Huang Jiao, you aim to steal my Dragon Blood and Dragon Balls in a vain attempt to become dragons, not realizing that your being here was also by my Divine Skills.
Back then, King Pingxi resorted to trickery, separating my soul from my body, sealing me within this mural. But I, Ao Gong, am not so easily vanquished. Even without my soul, he could not harm me. From thousands of miles away, I could sense the Dragon Qi and drew you into the tomb.
You thought you were seeking treasure, but in truth, you were merely serving to break my seal."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yun thought to himself, so this dragon is called Ao Gong!
However, when he woke up, he had gone from Ao Gong to Eunuch Ao Gong.
Uh, you know, isn't it said that repeating a name sounds cuter?
Ao Gong's statement was somewhat exaggerated. In reality, when he was sealed away, he was utterly helpless. Although the Dragon Soul was immortal, it had fallen into slumber until recently, when the seal suddenly loosened, and his consciousness awakened.
Even so, with his body and soul separated, he couldn't escape.
His soul was too powerful, and only with external help could he enter the main tomb chamber. Thus, he split his Dragon Soul in half, placing one part in Qiuping's body, and the other half lay in wait for someone to probe the murals with their mental energy.
That was why Qiuping was always trying to lure Lin Yun to look at the paintings, but unfortunately, Lin Yun never fell for it.
Both Huang Jiao and Daoist Master Huang Long had looked at the murals, and Ao Gong then allowed his Dragon Soul to slip into Huang Jiao's body.
Huang Jiao was not raging due to the stimulation of Dragon Qi before, but because Ao Gong was fighting for control over his body. Afterwards, the tranquil Huang Jiao had become Ao Gong.
At that time, Ao Gong was still wrapped in the Dragon Binding Lock. Even with his Dragon Soul back in place, he couldn't escape, and his awakening also required some vital essence. That's why, under Huang Jiao's guise, he incited both sides into a deadly battle.
Everything went smoothly, and he successfully returned to his body, but unexpectedly, in such a short time, almost under his very eyes, he was... castrated.
He hasn't acted yet, not because he talks too much, but because the fusion of body and soul isn't that quick.
He was also buying time.
The Sea Dragon in front of him, though suppressed by the Dragon's Majesty, would still pose a danger to him during a desperate fight, considering his body and soul were not in harmony yet.
That's why he was saying all those things to shake Bai Jiaojiao's Dao heart.
Bai Jiaojiao suddenly realized that this Demon Dragon had been only spreading its aura but had not taken action, which was very suspicious!
"You might be powerful, but weren't you still sealed here? If you're so capable, break out!"
Bai Jiaojiao's plan indeed included infuriating Ao Gong, and at the same time, she began to probe him with her moves.
"Ice Lock, Snow Dance!"
Within the tomb chamber, the temperature dropped abruptly, but Ao Gong laughed heartily.
"Have you discovered it? Too bad, it's too late!"
With a casual breath of fire, Ao Gong dissolved Bai Jiaojiao's spell.
Bai Jiaojiao's face turned ugly. She resolutely glanced at Lin Yun, then transformed into her Sea Dragon Form and charged at Ao Gong.
She was already quite a large Sea Dragon, but compared to Ao Gong, she was still a bit too delicate. Moreover, she felt suppressed by the bloodline. However, her battle with Ao Gong wasn't to defeat him, but to entice him into striking the walls or the dome to create a way out.
"Overreaching yourself."
Ao Gong swatted disdainfully with his tail. Bai Jiaojiao narrowly evaded, and the tail strike made the ground tremble upon hitting the wall.
Lin Yun watched the fight anxiously, growing increasingly worried for Bai Jiaojiao.
The gap between them was too stark; Bai Jiaojiao could only dodge. If Ao Gong touched her, she might die on the spot.
Using her agility, Bai Jiaojiao weaved and dodged, deceiving Ao Gong into striking the walls over and over. Finally, with a thunderous boom, a breach was blown open.
Without needing a reminder from Bai Jiaojiao, Lin Yun carried Green Snake and ran.
Now was not the time for indecision. When Bai Jiaojiao went up, she was already prepared to sacrifice herself.
He couldn't let Bai Jiaojiao's intentions go in vain.
"Don't worry. When I return fully cultivated, I will burn that Dragon to ashes," Lin Yun swore to himself, assuming he could survive.
As the gap loomed close ahead, Lin Yun suddenly felt a tremendous suction force...
