Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 289: Chase of Beast

"Grandfather."

"Zhangting." Mutter Qiangu Dongfeng as he saw his grandson walking into his office, wondering why he was visiting him.

'I am sure I assigned him to watch over the construction of the builds a few hours away from the headquarters.'

"Have you found those scums yet? Just say the word grandfather and I will go with a team to execute them all." Qiangu Zhangting crossed the room before sitting down with a smirk.

"Zhangtian...Is the construction of the Spirit Pagoda buildings done?"

"Hehe, that's why I am here grandfather. Luckily enough, we were able to finish them, all we need now is some of the workers here to help manage the buildings."

"That fast?"

"Well, we were able to gain the help of the Federations and Shrek members who were also in the area." Said Qiang Zhangtian with a chuckle.

Qiangu Dongfeng frowned but he didn't say anything as he looked back at the reports on his desk.

At the same time, feeling bored, Qiangu Zhangtian glanced at the reports that were lying around before his eyes stopped on one.

"Oh? They're doing a festival in a few months' grandfather?"

"Yes, everyone but us has given their consent to it."

"Grandfather you must! This may be my chance to be able to woo Gu Yue!" Excalimid Qiangu Zhangtian with a grin.

"Now that I think about it, grandfather have you seen Gu Yue? I can't seem to find her anywhere, even the workers here said they didn't see her." Said Qiangu Zhangtian with a frown.

Qiangu Dongfeng glances up at his grandson's joyful face, wondering if this was the true reason he came to his office. At the same time, he wouldn't be surprised, considering his grandson has been asking about Gu Yue for a while now.

"Are you still intending to chase her, even though she has a lover?"

Qiangu Zhangtian only scoffs with a sneer on his face before speaking.

"Lover? Come now grandfather, that brat has five other girls with him. How could Gu Yue even stand such an arrangement?"

"Yet she is still with him." Said Qiangu Dongfeng causing his grandson to shake his head before standing up.

"Don't worry grandfather, all I have to do is show how much better I am than him, then she will come to me."

'How much better...Huh'

Qiangu Dongfeng closed his eyes with a sigh at the ignorant words of his grandson. As they were truly words of someone who didn't understand how terrifying their rival was.

'Then again, the two of them can't really be called rivals.'

If one was to compare both Qiangu Zhangtian and Tang Wulin in just talents, then it wouldn't even be close.

The difference between the two is like heaven and earth, it's like someone comparing a genius soul master to Yun Ming.

The difference between the two is nothing more than a joke, a farce, and just insulting. And that was just talent, Dongfeng didn't think there was much that his grandson can beat Tang Wulin in.

Whether that be ability, influence, value, and potential, all of this was something no one except maybe Na'er and Gu Yue could contend with.

"Give that thought up grandson, there are plenty of other women who-"

"Nonsense Grandfather! How could I give up on her like that? Especially without trying! Shouldn't you understand grandfather, just like you who haven't given-"

"Zhangtian!"

Qiangu Zhangtian's figure shivered as he instantly went quiet as he felt his grandfather glare on him causing him to look down.

The story of Qiangu Dongfeng and the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu's wasn't much of a secret. Yet there were only a few people who would dare to bring it up let alone mention it in front of the two.

Qiangu Dongfeng could only sigh as he just stared at his fidgeting grandson, who was clenching his fist.

'Regardless of what I say, he won't give up huh. I guess he inherited more than my talent.' Thought Qiangu Dongfeng as a bitter smile appeared on his face before vanishing.

If it was anyone else, Qiangu Dongfeng would still believe his grandson wouldn't be inferior to them.

Unless the person was another monstrous Yun Ming or the Blood God Cao Dezhi, he didn't think his grandson wouldn't be a match.

'But my dear grandson, this one is even more monstrous and terrifying.'

Who would have thought that Tang Wulin would be an even greater monster than those two combined.

Not only that but Tang Wulin's background wasn't any inferior to his grandson, it was far superior.

'A form that can reach the god level, having a divine weapon and having such a terrifying ring set up.'

Yun Ming couldn't hide the fact that Tang Wulin could turn into a dragon form that could match the Calamity.

As none of the people in charge of the other fractions were stupid. They all knew it would be impossible even for Tang Wulin to kill the calamity without the combined effort of them.

Not even the Star Luo Empire would be able to help him accomplish this goal unless they had enough Limit Douluo to match the Douluo continent.

This was also the other reason why the Federation was so interested in Tang Wulin. His ability to transform into a Dragon that could match and even kill the calamities.

They had so many questions, from when did he gain this form, where did he get it from and if it can be given or obtained by others.

'Crazy bastards, all of them.'

So with all of this, Qiangu Dongfeng just can't in good faith believe his grandson could even compare to Tang Wulin.

He had a divine weapon that would crush his martial spirit, physical strength that would suppress him and an aura that could cause even them to pause.

'...But, sometimes it is best for them to learn on their own.' Thought Qiangu Dongfeng as he began speaking.

"Alright, so what are you planning to do?"

"Ha, I knew you would understand grandfather! I am not sure yet but with your help, it should be able to work-"

"I am not helping you with this. I am afraid you're going to have to do this on your own." Said Qiangu Dongfeng, causing Qiangu Zhanting to stare at him in shock.

"B-But...But grandfather-"

"No Zhangtian, you have permission to use the Spirit Pagoda to help you. But I will not be interfering in this matter." Qiangu Zhangtian expression through various changes before his eyes lit up.

"I see now grandfather, this is a test isn't it! I understand now, what kind of man would I be if I rely on my grandfather." Said Qiangu Zhangtian with a chuckle, the confidence in his face returning.

"Alright grandfather, I will be going now. I have a lot of planning to do." Said Qiangu Zhangtian with a chuckle as he swiftly left through the door.

Qiangu Dongfeng could only blankly stare at his grandson leaving, wondering how he could have misunderstood him.

But as he was about to slump down on his chair, the door opened once again with Leng Yaozhu's walking through.

"You didn't try to stop him from competing?" Questioned Leng Yaozhu with arch brow.

"He would have still done it even if I tried."

"Hm, be as that may, I am surprised you aren't helping him or willing to help him out." Said Leng Yaozhu's causing Qiangu Dongfeng to fall silent.

"Isn't it family first, with you?"

But Qiangu Dongfeng didn't respond, as his thoughts went to Tang Wulin or more specifically, his value.

'With that boy...It's possible to reach the divine world and become a God. Maybe even being able to revive the Qiangu Family.'

With that in mind, Qiangu Dongfeng could and would do nothing to mess up the relationship between him and Tang Wulin.

'Plus, the Qiangu and that boy are closer than anyone would think, Hahaha.'

"Crap! They are attacking anyone!" Shouted Zhao Jiu as he quickly ducks under an ice shard.

The ice shard smashed into the towering tree but was smashed into bits, leaving no damage on it.

"Shouldn't be surprising, it's not like we're a part of their race." Said Wu Zhankong as he slashes out with his sword, making a wall made out of ice.

"Keep moving! Wulin and Yali are holding them off, as we move." Said Shen Yi as he latched on four arrows on her bow before releasing.

All of the arrows turned into streaks of light, puncturing the five wolves that were chasing them.

"You think they will be fine? They are holding off a large number of the beasts." Said Wu Yiyi as she flipped over the tree trunk, her Hell Civit martial spirit activated.

"Don't worry about those two monsters, I doubt small fry like those can even make them tired." Said Shen Yi as she kept on firing her arrows.

It was then a loud sound rang through the towering forest, as a small explosion could be felt far behind them.

Alongside the screams of beasts.

"See, they're doing fine."

Bang!

A tiger soul beast was sent flying from the backside of a golden spear.

"Annoying." Mutter Tang Wulin as he twirled the spear in his hand, swinging it to the side, smashing another beast coming.

"Do you have an ability that can keep them from attacking, instead of us killing all of them?" Questioned Yali as she smacked one of the ape soul beasts away from her.

"No Killing?"

"As best as we can, after all, we are intruding on their land." Said Yali, causing Tang Wulin to arch a brow.

He knew her kindness was something great, something that all humans praise. With Gu Yue commenting that Yali was one of the only humans, she could say that she can't dislike.

With her comparing her kindness to that of the Dragon God.

'To think it extended to even Soul Beasts.' Thought Tang Wulin before sighing as he stabbed his spear in the ground.

Then he outstretches his hand, grabbing the neck of a wolf spirit beast before releasing the destruction inside of him.

This causes the upper body of the wolf spirit beast to be destroyed, dissolving into molecules to the horror of the others.

Then he grabbed his spear before hurling at the leader of this pack, whose eyes widened as it tried to evade.

But how could Tang Wulin allow it to dodge?

'Time Magic: Compression.'

The spear began to blur before it vanished from the sight of the ape soul beast causing it to blink its eye.

Before it let out a screech as the spear appeared right in front of its chest, piercing into its arm.

As this was happening, Tang Wulin appeared in front of it in a blur, with his feet stomping on its chest.

Sending it down to the floor with destruction energy crackling around his arm and a circle of destruction orb forming around it.

The ape cried out but Tang Wulin didn't care as he moved the orbs of destruction closer to its neck.

"Tell them to stop or you die."

The ape beast only sneered, not caring for the words of Tang Wulin who only sighed.

"Hardasses these days."

Instantly the spear began to crackle to destruction energy, causing the ape beast to scream out.

But Tang Wulin stops it from screaming by pressing down on its neck. After the beast's body fidgeted for a bit, he controlled the destruction intent, stopping it from running amok.

"It will continue until you tell them to stop."

The ape beast eyes glared at Tang Wulin but it knew it could nothing but obey. It didn't want to experience that terrifying energy inside of its body again.

It released a roar after Tang Wulin removed his foot, which caused all of the beasts that were running towards him and Yali to stop.

All of them looked shocked, at the fact, their leader actually screamed for them to stop.
