"You'd best release us, or there will be bloodshed!" Six-tail said, "Our fox clan has a powerful figure whom you cannot afford to offend!"
"Oh, really?"
The flood dragon's footsteps suddenly paused, its gaze falling upon Six-tail. "In all these ten thousand years, I've never heard of your Divine Fox clan having any great figures!"
"That's because you're like a frog in a well!"
Six-tail proclaimed confidently, appearing utterly convinced, as if every word he spoke was the truth.
"If your fox clan truly had such a person, they would have appeared long ago. Why wait until now?"
Several men nearby interjected, their expressions growing indifferent, as if they found Six-tail's words questionable.
"He went to the Divine Race..."
As Six-tail was about to speak, Nine-tail quickly said, "Six-tail, don't lie to them. How could our fox clan possibly have such a powerful being!"
"Mother..."
Six-tail paused, looking at Nine-tail, completely bewildered by her meaning.
However, seeing the look in Nine-tail's eyes, Six-tail fell silent, daring not to say another word.
They understood some matters were far more complex than they appeared.
While Lu Fan's strength was formidable, dealing with the Divine Dragon clan would not be an easy feat.
This was something they were all acutely aware of.
"Why are you speaking so evasively? Is there truly such a formidable existence?"
A slight curl on its lips, the flood dragon spoke again. "If that were the case, I cannot leave so easily today. I must wait for this person to appear and have a friendly spar. I'd very much like to see if your Divine Fox clan is truly a hidden dragon, a crouching tiger!" Su Dan Novel Network
"You jest, my lord. Even if the Divine Fox clan were stronger, they could at most reach my level. Even as a Nine-tailed Divine Fox, I am no match for you, let alone others!"
Nine-tail quickly chimed in with a smile, "We were captured by you, and we accept our fate. We hope that upon reaching the Divine Dragon clan, you might speak kindly of us. Even if it means serving as slaves, as long as our lives are spared, it will be enough!"
"As expected of the patriarch of the Divine Fox clan, you certainly know how to speak!"
A smile graced its lips. "I find your daughter quite comely. Why not let her become my concubine? That way, her life will be secured!"
At these words, everyone was startled. They had not expected the flood dragon to speak in such a manner, stirring considerable displeasure.
Seeing this, Nine-tail's brow furrowed. He had not anticipated such lewdness from the current individual, his words carrying a chilling undertone.
"What, you seem unwilling?"
The flood dragon's demeanor shifted instantly. "It is your daughter's fortune that I fancy her. Why are you putting on airs now?"
"Of course not!" Nine-tail hastily forced a smile. "My daughter is still too young. If you don't mind, perhaps you could consider me?"
The flood dragon glanced at Nine-tail, its eyes instantly turning cold. "You are indeed still alluring. However, I prefer playing with the younger ones!"
Its gaze, long absent, suddenly turned grim. "You are merely a flood dragon, holding no sway in the Divine Dragon clan, yet you are so insatiably greedy!"
"You... How dare you!"
The flood dragon's veins bulged, fury surging. It had never imagined Nine-tail would be so glib, treating it with such utter disregard. How could it possibly tolerate this?
"I'm merely speaking the truth, please don't take offense!" Nine-tail shrugged. "Even if you're displeased, it's likely of no use!"
Following these words, the flood dragon let out a cold laugh and directly seized Six-tail. "No use? Do you truly think I am a mere paper tiger? If I wish, your daughter will die right now!"
"You wouldn't dare!"
Nine-tail's eyes flickered with unease. He hadn't expected the flood dragon to be so direct, which deeply displeased him.
The flood dragon, however, remained unfazed and burst into laughter. "Are you implying I wouldn't dare? You underestimate me far too much. There is nothing I wouldn't do, especially since, in my eyes, you are all merely lowly ants!"
"You were only ordered to capture us, not to act beyond your authority!" Nine-tail stated coldly. "If anything were to happen to us, it would be difficult for you to explain!"
"What a joke! What if something happens?"
The flood dragon retorted coldly. "Before the Divine Dragon clan, you are like ants, yet you dare to be so arrogant!"
At these words, Nine-tail's face darkened to an extreme, his heart filled with profound dissatisfaction.
The situation had escalated to a point beyond his control.
Simultaneously, everyone could distinctly feel a powerful aura surging, heading towards the territory of the fox clan.
Witnessing this, the flood dragon smirked. "It seems your words were true, there are indeed stragglers within the fox clan!"
"It's Lu Fan!"
Seeing this, Nine-tail's brow furrowed. The Divine Dragon clan was the most powerful entity in the entire Northern Abyss. However, given Lu Fan's temperament, he likely wouldn't pay them any heed.
"Release them all, and then get out!"
Lu Fan's voice was indifferent yet carried a commanding air as he looked towards the flood dragon.
The flood dragon immediately sneered. It hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so arrogant, completely disregarding them.
"You have quite the audacity. But do you truly believe your strength is enough to make us obey you?"
The corners of its mouth curled upwards, the flood dragon spoke coldly, exuding an aura of power.
Lu Fan's lips curved into a slight smile. "It seems my words are of no use to your ears!"
"Show me what you've got then!"
The flood dragon said no more. It didn't know Lu Fan's background, as it sensed no fox clan aura from him, leaving it somewhat perplexed.
In that very instant, Lu Fan struck forcefully, engaging in a terrifying battle with the flood dragon.
The flood dragon also unleashed its full strength, as it clearly sensed Lu Fan's aura was extraordinary and he was no ordinary individual.
In that fleeting moment, the two figures collided. However, to everyone's surprise, the impact of their formidable energies caused considerable disturbance.
Rumble...
The flood dragon was violently thrown back, spewing a mouthful of blood. It had exerted its utmost effort, yet still, it had been defeated by Lu Fan.
"My lord!"
The members of the Divine Dragon clan rushed forward, their expressions grave. They had not anticipated the flood dragon's current state.
Furthermore, Lu Fan was presumptuous enough to attack the Divine Dragon clan. Wasn't he seeking his own demise?
Even the most powerful beings in the Northern Abyss dared not provoke the Divine Dragon clan.
