Chapter 540: Chapter 542: The Wife-Protecting Demon
The Army Guard numbered four thousand, and they naturally obeyed the commands of Zheng Yu. It seemed as though the people from Rock Concealing Sect were prepared to resort to force from the beginning. After they were obstructed by Zhu Minglang and Zheng Yu, they showed their true colors.
“Hmph, is this the extent of your dirt-troop? What Female Monarch, she’s nothing but an Earth Emperor, not even worthy to warm my bed, yet dares to postulate before our Rock Concealing Sect. Hand over that crystal immediately, or else we will slaughter everyone here!” sneered the young man with the black fan.
“Zheng Yu, let the Army Guard withdraw for now; there’s no need to harm the soldiers,” Zhu Minglang’s face turned cold.
Zheng Yu glanced at Zhu Minglang and quickly understood what he meant.
Thus, Zheng Yu waved his hand, signaling the Army Guard to temporarily withdraw, but he did not order them to leave the area.
These people from the various Great Sect Woods of Supreme Court Courtyard Continent were far too brazen. Li Chuan was now a legitimate realm, and all its territories were protected by the laws of the Royal Family. These people came to Li Chuan to treasure hunt, but to think they would raid mines belonging to Li Chuan Kingdom…
Of course, these actions weren’t the worst of it.
They should never have insulted the Female Monarch. Such an act was already taboo in Li Chuan, let alone saying it in front of a certain person.
Zheng Yu knew a thing or two about physiognomy.
Zhu Minglang, just by looking at his face, one could tell he was a mad protector of his wife!
“Finally showing some sense. We from Rock Concealing Sect aren’t a group of unreasonable barbarians. We can even give you an extra cart of gold!” Seeing the situation, the Wang family’s servant could not help but display a smug smile.
“You might be misunderstanding. I asked the soldiers to clear out because I fear my rage would engulf them!” Zhu Minglang started to laugh, his eyes suddenly turned a blood-red color.
Like a vast expanse of blood-red flames spreading out, amidst the undulating ghastly fire, a black Refining Ash Dragon slowly revealed itself.
Its arrival made the surrounding fires grow even more intense, as if the mining area was devoured by a sea of flames.
The people from Rock Concealing Sect were mostly dressed in black robes and long black coats. They numbered seven in total, with the young man holding the black fan leading them.
They couldn’t feel the heat of the flames, but a burning pain was spreading throughout their bodies.
“It’s the Black Dragon Monarch!”
The Wang family servant turned anxious.
All seven had unsightly expressions and immediately dispersed to different positions, invoking their Divine Skills.
These people were proficient in Yanzang Art, able to summon huge boulders to smash down, make the gravelly ground shake like an earthquake, and even turn rock dust into weapons and armor, resembling stone warriors.
Unfortunately, these people were only of lower Monarch Level cultivations. Although the Refining Ash Black Dragon was only one rank higher than them, its Ancient Dragon bloodline was noble; its abilities were powerful, and it had a body clad in Meltfire Heavy Armor. It wasn’t afraid of any Monarch Level opponent!
With heavy dragon claws more powerful than these Rock Concealing Sect’s falling rock spells, it could smash down like a solid mountain, causing the highly durable mining land to crack and split!
A breath of Dragon Flame from within the realm of Dragon Pupil turned two Rock Concealing Sect members into smoked ducks!
Another stomp came from the ancient dragon; the stomp’s wave caused that arrogant servant, Wang Bo, to crumble into pieces!
Ferocious, valiant, unbeaten!
The Refining Ash Black Dragon lingered with intent, its pupils, ablaze with Purgatory Flame, loomed over the youth holding the black fan, as if wanting to swallow him whole into its stomach.
“My Black Dragon doesn’t fancy human flesh, so when it bites and eats people, it generally chews them until they’re mangled, alive, and then swallows them down to the stomach. Afterwards, it spits them back out after a while,” Zhu Minglang said to the youth with the black fan, his tone indifferent.
“Hmph, I didn’t bring many slaves with me today, so what if you’re arrogant for a moment? Our young master is Chang Hao of Rock Concealing Sect, and my father is the Second Sect Master. You’ve injured us today, made an enemy of our Rock Concealing Sect— you won’t enjoy the consequences,” Wang Bo of Rock Concealing Sect still carried an air of unyielding arrogance.
“Big Black Tooth, crush his legs!” Zhu Minglang ordered.
With one swipe of its paw, Big Black Tooth knocked down the self-important Wang Bo to the ground.
That paw was enough to knock Wang Bo out cold; the yanzang dust armor couldn’t defend against the Refining Ash Black Dragon’s sharp claws and was directly shattered.
As Wang Bo lay on the ground, still dizzy, a sudden intense pain shot through his kneecaps, causing him almost to faint from the agony!
Sweating profusely, Wang Bo opened his eyes to find his legs flattened by the Black Dragon, his bones all crushed to pieces!!
“What riffraff, presuming yourselves as the upper crust. Call over your Rock Concealing Sect figureheads; I, Zhu Minglang, will be waiting right here!” Zhu Minglang declared.
“My legs, my legs, my legs…” Wang Bo no longer had his previous arrogant demeanor, writhing in pain, rolling from side to side. His flattened legs were pasted to the ground and he couldn’t even drag his upper body away.
“Leave one with legs intact to send the message, give the others the same courtesy. Oh, and for that so-called second young sect master, Chang Hao, remember to step a bit higher,” Zhu Minglang directed Big Black Tooth.
What was the weight of the Refining Ash Black Dragon?
With the dragon’s hoof coming down, whether it was the chest or the legs, bones were definitely crushed to smithereens.
A dragon’s hoof for each slave, their screams echoing throughout the mining area.
When it was Chang Hao’s turn with the black fan, following Zhu Minglang’s instruction, the Refining Ash Black Dragon specifically stepped higher, crushing the man’s pelvic bones as well!
The previously haughty Chang Hao was in such excruciating pain, his entire body hovering in a state of near death!
Despite having extraordinary resilience, if not for being a cultivator, having the lower half of his body crushed would have been fatal. But because he was a cultivator and didn’t die instantly, he had to endure unbearable, inhuman pain.
Chang Hao of Rock Concealing Sect could never have imagined encountering such a domineering and ferocious Dragon Shepherd here; he was in so much pain that he couldn’t even beg for mercy!
Zhu Minglang had a sense of martial honor; he said he would release one, and so he released one.
The Yanzang Master in the dark robe glanced at his companions, then at his own legs that were still relatively intact.
“We need your Rock Concealing Sect to give us a reasonable explanation to Li Chuan. Call someone with authority to speak, and if they don’t come, I, Zheng Yu, will personally lead the army to your doorstep!” Zheng Yu said, staring at the Yanzang Master who still had his legs.
The man hurriedly left, not daring to linger a moment longer, after witnessing Zhu Minglang’s Evil Dragon trampling, nearly scared out of his wits!
“Li Chuan is still far from strong. Everyone seems to want to trample us; the weaker we are, the more we’re bullied!” Zheng Yu muttered to himself as if in a trance.
They had someone boil a pot of wine right there on the spot, and Zhu Minglang and Zheng Yu drank in the open-air mining area, awaiting the arrival of Rock Concealing Sect’s dignitaries.
