Dragon Tamer - Chapter 409:
Chapter 409: Chapter 411: Convincing Performance
Treacherous and sneaky.
Moreover, while Zhu Minglang was wandering through Magic Island, he felt more than once that he was under the surveillance of the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor.
It did not act like a dominator of this maritime area, but rather like a mouse hiding in the gutter, only daring to swagger when powerful creatures like the Dragon Lion were weakened and fell.
Zhu Minglang hid within the rocks of Shishan, and the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor dived from a high place. Its golden beak struck the rocks, and the mountainside immediately shattered.
Zhu Minglang slid into the valley along the tilted mountainside, narrowly avoiding being buried by the rolling rocks.
Seeing Zhu Minglang in such a sorry state, the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor pursued him relentlessly.
Of course, it also knew what it feared most was the TianSha Dragon King by Zhu Minglang’s side…
…
It was not until he reached the bottom of the valley that Zhu Minglang called out the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon.
The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon’s appearance this time was not as majestic and powerful as before; even the flapping of its wings seemed somewhat feeble.
It did not choose to clash head-on with the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor, but instead used the dark and the complex terrain of the valley to contend with it.
The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor, after several probing attempts and seeing that the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon truly appeared sick and weak, casually threw Han Wen onto a pine tree, and then dived towards the constantly collapsing valley!
The valley had several layers: the uppermost consisted of cliffs extending from high mountain rocks, steep and towering, some even bridged across the valley like an overpass.
The middle layer was composed of interwoven vines and ancient vine trees, almost forming a huge network of trees stretching across the space between the valley and the peaks.
The lowest layer held the dark valleys, rivers, and crevices. Some were bottomless, others winding and intricate, with some forming dark caves.
Right now, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon was in these complex subterranean regions. The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor, as the dominant force in the sky, did not possess the agility of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon below the complex earth’s surface.
The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor, unable to dive directly into those cracks and caverns, simply kept ascending, and then plummeted down, whipping up layers of golden energy in an attempt to destroy the entire island valley!
It was aware that the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon’s abilities had been largely suppressed by the exotic fragrance and that it had to take advantage of this moment to kill it!
As the valley was being destroyed, it became utterly chaotic. The peaks and rock formations of the higher layers also kept collapsing, bringing with them the canopies of trees and vines into the deep valley…
With nowhere to hide, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon had to face the onslaught head-on. It spread its wings, releasing thousands of destructive beams!
Normally, the star patterns on the wings of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon could emit nearly ten thousand beams simultaneously, capable of reducing a city to ashes under its might.
But it appeared weak and exhausted.
This attack could not truly harm the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor, which dodged and suddenly began to circle around the space within a dozen miles of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon.
In the process of its flight, the airstream stirred by the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor caused the river water below to be drawn upwards by this force!
The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor’s speed increased, and the river water from the valley unexpectedly began to flow upstream along its flight path, gradually fashioning a colossal river cage, trapping the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon completely inside!
The river lifted into the air continued to compress, baptizing the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon which opened its mouth trying to spit out Dragon Flame to shatter the massive river cage. However, what it emitted was a corrupt gas, as if its chest was filled with this waste gas!
The eyes of the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor gleamed with brighter light.
The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon had little strength left!
This was an excellent opportunity to kill it!!
The caged river assaulted the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, leaving it covered in wounds.
Its scales had completely lost their luster, including the Dark Crystal Horns on its head, which resembled ordinary grey rocks without any distinction!
The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon staggered and swayed, its aura even weaker after being battered and suppressed by the river current, finding it challenging to even maintain an upright stance.
It swung its tail, attempting to flee…
This scene was all too familiar to the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor!
Back when it was merely an ordinary male hawk, it would hunt poisonous snakes on the vast plains. Once a snake lowered its body and writhed, half its length skittering across the ground in panic, it was a sign of utter desperation!
A Dragon King??
On this Magic Island, it was no more than a brightly patterned little winged serpent!
The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor pursued its victory, its wings beating low as it flew. The harsh grating of its diamond claws against the rocks on the ground created an ear-piercing noise that made its prey even more panicked and erratic!
Chasing to the end of the valley, where a crevasse waterfall lay, the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor suddenly accelerated. Its wings tilted to the sides, maintaining high speed and keeping parallel to the riverbed, as its sharp claws precisely aimed for the head of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon!!
This strike was fatal enough to gouge out the brains of the Dragon King!
At the same time, however, the TianSha Dragon King violently twisted its body. The previously lusterless Dark Crystal Horn suddenly emitted an ominous, dense light, stabbing fiercely at the underside of the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor like a long spear!
The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor was shocked. How had the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon suddenly become lively as a dragon?!
The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor hastily dodged sideways, avoiding the sudden and sinister shine of the horn strike. But the TianSha Dragon King suddenly spread its colorful Starry Sky Evil Wings, with each star pattern emitting a restless energy never seen before, as a dense aura of destruction came surging forth!!
Black transformation beam!!
Over ten thousand beams, even more fierce than during their initial clash, shone like a sky full of dark stars of destruction, their terrifying force focused on a tiny area and piercing through the entirety of the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor!!
The golden feathers turned into nothingness.
The tough eagle hide turned into nothingness!
The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor let out a scream as it was riddled with countless holes by the black transformation beam in an instant, its feathers and skin all disintegrated, leaving it a bloodied, featherless vulture…
The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor, having lived more than twenty thousand years as a Holy Spirit, still harbored a sliver of survival instinct amidst such agony.
As it screamed, it let out a cry from its throat, a sound more terrifying than thunder. The close-range blast was so headache-inducingly intense that Zhu Minglang felt like his eardrums would burst.
The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon was dazed by the Sound Explosion Shock Thunder. By the time it somewhat recovered, the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor had already dived into the Crevasse waterfall, planning to use the river’s flow to escape into the ocean.
The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor could harness water, and once in the sea, it might survive this ordeal.
“Still trying to run? Do you know how hard I had to act?” Zhu Minglang sneered coldly.
The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon immediately approached the Crevasse waterfall. It raised its head, a tremendous energy pulsating in its throat!
“Whoosh!!!!!!!!”
A blast of Extinguishing Star Dragon Flame was spewed down the tilting waterfall, instantly replacing the majestic cascade…
The waterfall poured into the pond, which then flowed into the estuary. With that powerful blast of Dragon Flame from the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, the waterfall turned a molten, flowing black, as if volcanic lava. The flames transformed the waterfall into a curtain of fire. It set the deep pool ablaze, turning it into a furnace and instantly converting the small estuary into a sea of black fire!!
The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor had nowhere to hide…
It endured the most excruciating burning in the stream of Dragon Flame.
Without its feathers and skin, its bloodied, bald body was rapidly eroded by the Dragon Flame, its form consumed by the intense heat!
The Holy Spirit, which had lived for over twenty thousand years, ultimately couldn’t escape the merciless Dragon Flame of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon. It gradually lost its life force in the river of black flames!
