998: Chapter 284: The Plan is Far-reaching 998: Chapter 284: The Plan is Far-reaching The sun blazed, and the shadows on the dragon tendons grew increasingly intense.
Like a layer of black smoke enveloping the dragon tendons, twisting like serpents.
This power differed from the source of power revealed in the Great Sun Tomb’s black sun.
It couldn’t compare in potency; it knew not how much weaker it was.
One glance at the black sun back then threatened annihilation, with the whole world on the brink of destruction beneath the black sun’s might.
But this twisted serpent wasn’t even worthy of carrying the black sun’s shoes, a world apart in standing.
But its spirit couldn’t be mentioned in the same breath; the source of power within the black sun was entirely under Sealed Emperor Great Ancestor’s control, almost equivalent to the ancestor’s own might.
However, the power that fell upon Meng Xiao brimmed with spirituality.
Just as the dragon sinew revealed its source of power for an instant, a clap of thunder sounded in the clear sky.
Crack!
A crisp sound followed, as a clear bolt of lightning struck the Azure Dragon Body.
The cursing Azure Dragon lost its voice in an instant, its body bent like a shrimp, remaining limp and powerless to twist after the lightning abated.
It seemed as though the dragon tendon had been removed without affecting its ability to move.
But just as the Azure Dragon caught a breath, no sooner had one thunderclap ended than another began.
Thunderbolts struck one after another.
Each peal of thunder was no less forceful than Su He’s full-powered Heavenly Punishment.
Bolt after bolt struck the Azure Dragon, yet without any killing intent.
Su He could sense that the lightning didn’t intend to erase Meng Xiao, which would otherwise not be difficult!
Ji Feixue’s brows furrowed slightly.
Two flying swords flipped continuously amid the lightning, guiding the direction of the lightning strikes.
Gradually, to Ji Feixue’s eyes, the two swords seemed to be held in someone’s hands.
As she puzzled over this, she heard the surprised exclamation from the peacock beside her, “Father-in-law!”
The residual might from the lightning strikes gradually coalesced into the Scholar’s phantom image, holding a flying sword in each hand, ceaselessly stabbing the Azure Dragon Body as if carving symbols.
Ji Feixue’s body trembled.
The Scholar looked back, his mouth quirking into a smile, “Girl, watch carefully!”
His voice was gentle, truly fitting a Scholars but his actions were anything but, with a pick and chop of the flying swords like a butcher dissecting prey.
Ji Feixue stepped forward but then abruptly halted, knowing this wasn’t her father’s real body, just a method he had left behind, acting according to rules, lacking any true Spirit Wisdom.
Her breath grew coarse, and she trembled slightly, noticing something gently touching her side—Su He had already regained his Dragon Turtle True Form, resting beside her.
“Watch closely!
Father-in-law wouldn’t leave such a method for no reason.
Forget other thoughts, he’s still alive even after 730,000 years.
Alive means all possibilities exist!”
Ji Feixue didn’t speak, her phoenix eyes fixed on the figure below the lightning, dissecting the Azure Dragon with the swords.
With each cut, the Azure Dragon let out an anguished roar.
Gradually, the roar took on a dual tone, as though two Azure Dragons were crying out simultaneously.
The sliced Azure Dragon changed its appearance, one half remained verdant green, the other pitch black like ink.
This black, unlike Su He’s crystalline hue, brought an eerie and uncomfortable feeling.
Meng Xiao’s bifurcated body appeared to harbor two minds, two souls, each yelling its own.
The black half cursed and screamed various threats.
He even invoked the Dragon tribe ancestors to intimidate the Scholar.
The Azure half was uncharacteristically rude in its curses.
“Ji Tianchen!
You son of a gun, thinking you’re all high and mighty!
You refuse to kill me and leave me for your daughter to see…
It hurts like hell, too!”
He shouted out loud just to see the Scholar’s hand merge the flying swords into one, suddenly enlarging, carrying a torrent of thunder, and slashing down.
Two miserable Dragon’s Chants cried out in unison, heart-wrenching as if being vivisected alive.
Following closely, a beam of azure light soared into the sky, turning into a slightly smaller, semi-ethereal Azure Dragon in the midst of the thunder, weaving through the lightning.
“Haha!
I’m free, finally free!
Brother-in-law is mighty!” The Azure Dragon called out, spiraling upward toward the Nine Heavens, piercing into the clouds.
After a long while, another Dragon’s Chant darted from the clouds, speeding beside Su He and Ji Feixue.
Its eyes shone brightly, “Yo, grand-niece!”
Schwiiiing!
The Immortal Sword unsheathed, as Ji Feixue slashed forward.
The Azure Dragon’s color drained in an instant, “Stop messing around, grand-niece!
It wasn’t me who hit you!”
The Azure Dragon urgently cried out while Ji Feixue’s Fairy Sword didn’t pause, striking true to its course.
The Azure Dragon’s expression completely changed, as in its current Status, even an Opening Heaven Three-fold Divine God Beast could easily kill him.
Ji Feixue’s sword coming down left no chance of survival.
“I was raised by your mother!” The Azure Dragon cried out urgently.
Schwiiiing!
The Fairy Sword stopped at its brow.
Ji Feixue stared into its eyes, a glint of coldness twinkling within.
Meng Xiao!
The Azure Dragon’s heart pounded rapidly, swallowing dryly.
It understood the look in Ji Feixue’s eyes—only one chance to speak, a wrong word spelled death.
No other possibilities.
Meng Xiao fell silent for a moment, his tail pointing to the still-punished Black Dragon below.
“That one, is me!”
Ji Feixue’s sword remained motionless.
He then pointed to himself, “This one, too, is me!”
Ji Feixue waited for more, while Su He looked on with interest.
Meng Xiao gestured with his claw, “I’ll reveal everything I know, but don’t take your eyes off the Black Dragon below, not even a little.
This is the treasure that bastard left for you after tearing me to pieces.”
He raised his ‘claw’ for a good while before realizing he had no claws, looking reproachfully at Su He.
However, a glance from Ji Feixue had him straightening up immediately.
Upon reflection, he began to speak, “I was originally a minor dragon from Transient Great World, who had passed the Heavenly Tribulation.
It was your mother who guided me into the clan.
She led me and helped me grow until Opening Heaven Five-fold before letting go.”
