Chapter 210 - Soaring Sea Dragon
Roaaaaaar!
The large water dragon roared, leaving cracks on the ground. It roamed its red-bloodshot eyes to each person present. With each look, those bystanders could not help but took some steps back as it was intimidating enough for them not to dare to look at the water dragon straight in its eyes! It was like a true dragon that had its own consciousness.
"Little one, be proud. You are one of the few who have witnessed and will experience the second most powerful technique of our ancient race, the Soaring Sea Dragon! Not just anyone is qualified to see this. So you should feel honored." Pingjing Hai said in a confident tone. His words were true. Only a few of a few had managed to witness this technique as this was one of the prized techniques of the ancient race that only First-Generation Immortal Emperors were qualified to learn. Of course, since this was a great technique, comprehending it needed a talent that would only appear after a long time. They needed to be one of the genius renowned in this world just to comprehend a single percent of the said technique.
The Soaring Sea Dragon was actually created by their first Immortal Emperor, Lilibeth. And in order to comprehend this fully, it was said that one must go to the forbidden island as there were some hidden clues that were left by the first emperor. Of course, going to the place was easy, but finding the clues needed a stroke of luck that was heaven-defying. And lucky enough, Pingjing Hai was one of those lucky ones.
Jin Rou did not respond. However, his expression remained unchanged, just like a calm ocean that no matter how many stormy weathers appeared, his calm expression would not falter.
This calmness of Jin Rou made the confident Pingjing Hai faltered. He could not sense any panic or any fear in Jin Rou. It was like that he was just waiting for the dragon to attack. Thus, he was feeling some dread deep inside his heart.
Pingjing Hai threw his thoughts at the back of his head. This was not the time to think something like this. He relieved a mouthful of breath and said, "Seems like you want to fasten your death. Very well, let me grant it!"
Raaaaaaaaaah!
The colossal dragon roared once again and dashed towards Jin Rou with its mouth wide open. The wind did not dare to block its way as it was carrying a massive momentum that made those present almost pee their pants. They hurriedly ran away in a distance to avoid the descending calamity!
Boom! The dragon clashed with Jin Rou and created a defeaning loud explosion. The explosion created a massive pit that spans with the diameter of hundreds of meters! It was like a meteorite had crashed in this place, making the place more desolate than it was. Soon, it regained its deathly silence once again.
"So strong." Immortal Emperor Song said in awe, "This is the second strongest technique of the Sea Ancient Race and it really lived up to its name. If I was the one in that young man's place, I won't dare to receive it and just run away as it would just give me a pointless death."
"That lad had overestimated his capabilities." The sect master of the Revenant Heavenly Sect said as he shook his head, "In order to be one of the strongest, one must first know the immensity of heaven and earth. No matter how terrifying of a genius you are, if you are just killed before you mature, then it's all for naught."
Immortal Emperor Song nodded, acknowledging the sect master's words. Indeed, this was true.
Pingjing Hai expanded his immortal sense to detect any signs of life in the range of the pit that was created by the explosion. And he sighed in relief as he detected no signs of life anymore. Even though the pit was still covered with thick smoke, since there were no signs of life being detected by his senses, then it just meant that it was now over.
Thump! Pingjing Hai could not maintain his flight as he slowly fell down in a thud, almost half kneeling on the ground. He tried his very best to catch his breath and regulated the flow of his qi to heal his internal injuries. Using that attack almost depleted his qi even after using the Blue-Song Bell as the catalyst. It was only a few exchanges against that young man yet it already drained him to this extent.
The princess was satisfied with this result and breathed her sigh of relief. She was really scared sh*tless a while ago. She thought that she was going to die here meaninglessly.
"Your Highness, you can now go and retrieve the..." Pingjing Hai's next words were stuck in his throat when he suddenly saw a silhouette of 2 figures standing in the middle of the pit.
As the thick smoke get thinner, the 2 standing figures were, of course, Jin Rou and Lang Zing. And just like a while ago, they did not take any damage as if the imposing dragon was just passing by.
Immortal Emperor Song could not believe what he was seeing. He was alive and well as if the attack did not really strike them! If not for his eyes seeing how the colossal dragon crashing down towards Jin Rou, he would think that the dragon was just an illusion!
"You... how did you...?" Pingjing Hai's face was drained of its color. He was looking so pale that one might think that all of the blood in his face suddenly vanished. For the first time, he felt a dreadful fear that was even ingrained to his bones. He was also feeling despair that he never thought he would feel in his lifetime. This young man was clearly a monster in a human's skin!
"Since you are done attacking, then I guess it's my turn?" Jin Rou smiled and released the same bits of red flame, those were floating on his palms. However, compared to the red flame that he used against the Nine Immortals and Liwong Hai, this contained more power!
"No! Your Highness, let's run!" Pingjing Hai sensed a danger that he never felt before. He grabbed the princess and was about to tear the void when the two bits of red flames suddenly came dashing towards them. Even he was not able to react in time!
After which, two types of screams rang the entire island as if they were competing of which voice was suffering more. However, the similarity of the voices were like they were expressing a feeling worse than death. The screams were so ear-piercing that it made everyone took a short glance at Jin Rou with fear!
