Dragon Tamer

Chapter 567: Chapter 569: Grace
 

Zhou Xian’s face was ashen.

In such a battle, although those at the King-Level Realm had a certain commanding ability, a slight misstep could still lead to their doom.

Zhou Xian wasn’t after military exploits, nor was he the main general of this war. From the beginning, he had no intention of charging into the fray.

However, seeing someone dazzling within the alliance of all the major forces in a campaign given high importance by the Imperial Dynasty, Zhou Xian felt extremely uncomfortable.

Especially since it was Zhu Minglang from Zhu Gate!

After this battle, regardless of the outcome, Zhu Gate would have secured a certain influence in the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent again. Many people would come to pay homage and join them.

Prestige and fame were what the Family Doors cared about the most, as this would attract more talented individuals and followers. Many smaller forces would willingly become vassals, and the Family Door would thus become increasingly powerful.

“A person from the Lower Realm, no matter how high their cultivation base, is still a far cry from the true gods. Once I receive the grace, every Sect Leader from the Six Great Clans, the heads of the Four Major Sect Clans, the leaders of palaces, and the Female Monarchs of the land, will all bow down to me!” The youth Mingji sneered derisively.

For some reason, the more he looked at Zhu Minglang, the more he seemed like the villain who had battered his face to a pulp…

However, the opponent was a Dragon Shepherd, commanding the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon, so it was absolutely impossible for him to continue practicing swordsmanship.

Who could be the reckless individual? Mingji’s intuition told him that the Flying Sword Thief must also be among the many united forces!

“Where exactly is this grace you speak of?” Zhou Xian asked in a low voice.

Zhou Xian’s face was dull, especially after losing the platinum fruit, he too faced immense pressure. Some old geezers in his Clan were eyeing him. If he didn’t make any more achievements, the crossbowmen around him, as well as the serving elders, would be taken back, and he would have to fend for himself. How could he then compete with the princes of the Royal Family, or with the heirs supported by the Four Major Sect Clans and the Six Great Clans?

“This Zhu Minglang has indeed paved the way for us. Now that the State Wall of the city-state has been breached, we can take advantage of the chaos to go to their Ancient Relics. The grace must be there. Once you get the grace, you, Zhou Xian, can also command a valiant army like the Giant Ridge General,” said Mingji.

“Really??” Zhou Xian exclaimed in surprise.

Could it be that these Giant Ridge Generals weren’t cultivated over long years?

Perhaps there truly was some method!

If his own crossbowmen could also transform into something at the level of the Giant Ridge Generals, wouldn’t that mean no one on the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent would dare to challenge him? For someone like Zhu Minglang, who came knocking at his door demanding compensation, he would simply crush him with a wave of his hand, without having to care whether he was the Young Master of Zhu Clan or not!

“I told you before, the people of Absolute Ridge Chengbang are the apostates of our Ming God Clan. Originally, my clansmen planned to annihilate them, but they fled to the Lower Realm with some special secret techniques. Their ability to transform into Giant Ridge Generals is one of the Phantom Shape Divine Powers of our Ming God Clan. I’ve heard that here you have Beast Shape Masters and Possession Techniques; essentially, they all stem from our Ming God Clan’s Phantom Shape Divine Power, it’s just that what they practice here are fragmented systems,” Mingji said arrogantly.

Zhou Xian’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He had incidentally heard about a group of people in the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent who came from the Upper Realm and were known as the people from above or guests from beyond the heavens. They held more potent methods, were privy to more mystical rules, and for them, increasing their cultivation base was as ordinary and simple as a youth growing taller after being well-fed.

So, after meeting Mingji, Zhou Xian was practically groveling, hoping to obtain from him the method of advancement that was not available to others!

“We will act on our own later. With my crossbowmen and a few elders, we should be able to reach the ancient relics you spoke of and find that Divine Grace!” Zhou Xian became excited.

A mere Absolute Ridge Chengbang, once granted Divine Grace, could contend with so many powerful forces. If that thing fell into his own hands, wouldn’t the Royal Family have to treat him with great respect?

“As long as you obey me, everything you want, I can make happen,” Mingji said with utmost confidence.

…

In the high skies, the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon had established dominance, and the Hidden Fog Island Bird Witches who controlled the Divine Bird Group wanted to save their face, but in the end, they were blasted by lightning without leaving any remains.

Against the Poison Dragon, Mosquito Dragon, Evil Bird, and Thunder Sparrows, it was all too easy for the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon to slaughter these monstrous flocks, especially with the aid of heavenly thunder, allowing it to fully unleash the power of its Azure Thunder Life Seed!

With one man and one Azure Dragon, they reigned supreme in the skies above the chengbang, and though there were tens of thousands of Cultivators and brave soldiers below, not a single one dared to challenge Zhu Minglang beneath this cloud-filled sky.

Having taken control of the high skies, the Li Chuan Army’s Dragon Beasts now had the initiative. Zhu Minglang, from the highest point, with the wings of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon above, commanded thousands of Flying Dragons. They sometimes dived down to swiftly chop down enemies in the lower skies and on the ground, and at other times, they simultaneously emitted Dragon Flames and Dragon Breath, delivering a destructive baptism to Absolute Ridge Chengbang!

Zhu Minglang oversaw the entire battlefield from the highest point.

He saw Li Yunzi at the Silver Ridge City Wall, surrounded by a large number of Army Guards, so she was not in any immediate danger.

The Giant Ridge Generals were most numerous there, their bodies like attic floors forming a Giant Ridge human Wall. And between the shoulders of those leads from Giant Ridge were Bow Hand Spear Armies, making them very difficult to kill off in a short period.

Zhu Minglang then looked towards the rear of the city and discovered that the Sudden Attack Team he led seemed to be blocked by a group of Giant Ridge Generals!

“The front city wall has already been breached, and yet they still have the strength to deal with those attacking from behind?”

Absolute Ridge Chengbang still hadn’t been thrown into disarray. It seemed they still had some cards up their sleeve.

“Qing Zhuo, continue to patrol the high skies, and eliminate anyone who dares to cross them. I’ll go down and help them break free,” Zhu Minglang said to the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

This control of the air must not fall into the hands of those from Hidden Fog Island, as they can summon the Divine Bird Group. Without the suppression of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon, the entire sky would be covered by those Divine Birds, and it was clear that Absolute Ridge Chengbang had invited people from Hidden Fog Island to deal with the Dragon Beast Army of Li Chuan.

This battle was more formidable than imagined. Even though Zhu Minglang held the high skies, the lower skies of the chengbang were still thick with Divine Birds. They were like a vast black net covering Absolute Ridge Chengbang, impossible to completely eradicate no matter how many were slain.

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon nodded its head.

The battlefield was chaotic, but having control of the highest airspace was a huge advantage.

At this moment, the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon was like the leader of the Ten Thousand Dragon Army. The struggle between the Dragon Beast Army and the Divine Bird Group unfolded under its deterrence. Suspended below the clouds, it greatly boosted the morale of the Ten Thousand Dragons and suppressed the arrogance of the Divine Bird Group!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Of course, the people from Hidden Fog Island were not willing to see their Airspace Thunder Realm become someone else’s Divine Weapon. Some King-Level Bird Masters among them kept challenging the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon…
