Chapter 2176: The Thunder Dragon

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
The Vast Sky Saint Son, the Linglong Saintess, the Heavenly-Sword Saint Son, and the Furious-Blade Saint Son were all upper-grade Saints. Since they were powerful with great backgrounds, they flew up and rushed toward the Thunder Lotus Leaves first.
The other self-cultivators didn’t hesitate either. Most middle-grade and low-grade saints also flew up and ran toward the middle of the lake. They were afraid that the Vast Sky Saint Son would have carved up the Thunder Lotus Leaves with the others if they got there too late.
Qingfeng Li didn’t rush toward the middle of Thunder Lake. Instead, he stepped back.
Qingfeng Li stopped after retreating a thousand meters, then said, “It should be safe at this distance. Everybody be careful and prepare for emergencies.”
Black Puppy was confused, “Didn’t you mean we should let the Vast Sky Saint Son, Linglong Saintess, Heavenly-Sword Saint Son, and Furious-Blade Saint Son fight with each other, then profit at their expenses? What else are you expecting?”
Qingfeng Li took a look at Black Puppy, saying, “Are you pretending, or do you really not know? There is a powerful thunder beast under the Thunder Lotus Leaves. Even I felt a bit scared. Once it shows up, those self-cultivators will all be doomed.”
Black Puppy shook its head and said, “My spirit energy is not as powerful as you. I can’t feel it. But it’s reasonable. The Thunder Lotus Leaves are precious saint herbs; the roots are even half-immortal level herbs. There should be a demonic beast guarding them.”
The Vast Sky Saint Son, the Linglong Saintess, the Heavenly-Sword Saint Son, and the Furious-Blade Saint Son were very fast, as well as other self-cultivators. They were all masters in the Saint Realm, running through the air, and instantly getting to the middle of the Thunder Lake.
When they reached out their hands and were about to pick Thunder Lotus Leaves, a giant tail suddenly showed up from underneath. The tail was ten kilometers long, penetrating through the sky, exploding the void, and smashed at those self-cultivators.
The Vast Sky Saint Son was in the front. He hurriedly wielded his fist and parried that giant tail.
But at the next moment, an invincible blast of energy came from the tail and knocked the Vast Sky Saint Son away with a force as heavy as a planet.
Seeing the giant tail slapped the Vast Sky Saint Son away, the Linglong Saintess, the Heavenly-Sword Saint Son, and the Furious-Blade Saint Son were all shocked and realized this demonic beast was extraordinarily powerful.
At the next moment, the ferocious beast showed up from the bottom of the lake. It was a giant dragon that was over ten kilometers long, with thunder all over its body. It was covered by vat-sized green scales, shining Saint Rules and Talisman scripts of Dao, and had a horn on its head.
This thunder beast was evolving into a genuine dragon but hadn’t reached that level yet. It was a flood dragon at this moment.
The Thunder Dragon was very ferocious. It could speak human words and said, “Damn humans, how dare you try to take the Thunder Lotus Leaves? You’re seeking death. All of you will stay here and die today.”
The Thunder Dragon opened its giant mouth that was thousands of feet large, with numerous fangs inside, exuding terrifying aura.
The Vast Sky Saint Son, Linglong Saintess, Heavenly-Sword Saint Son, and Furious-Blade Saint Son noticed the danger first and hurriedly retreated.
Those behind them were not that lucky. They were not as powerful and fast as the Vast Sky Saint Son and were instantly bitten by the giant mouth of the Thunder Dragon. Their flesh was crushed into pieces and then swallowed inside.
As low-grade Saints, they were very powerful, but they were still too weak compared with the Thunder Dragon. This Thunder Dragon appeared to be a peak-level saint beast.
It devoured over a hundred self-cultivators with one bite, yet it didn’t stop, but bit toward the other direction.
Its mouth had powerful suction force, with thunder surrounding it, and it devoured another hundred self-cultivators with another bite.
It opened its mouth ten times in a row and devoured over a thousand self-cultivators. They all died with no ability to resist within one moment.
All the other self-cultivators kept retreating and looked at the Thunder Dragon with terror.
They realized the Thunder Dragon was too powerful for them to withstand.
The Vast Sky Saint Son, Linglong Saintess, Heavenly-Sword Saint Son, and Furious-Blade Saint Son gathered together, all of them looking serious.
The Heavenly-Sword Saint Son said, ” Vast Sky Saint Son, you’re the most powerful one among us. In your opinion, what should we do?”
None had expected that there would be a Thunder Dragon underneath the Thunder Lotus Leaves, and it was a peak saint beast, which was more powerful than all of them.
The Vast Sky Saint Son turned stern and said, “None of us can defeat this Thunder Dragon if we fight alone. There is only one way to kill it, that we fight together.”
The Linglong Saintess, Heavenly-Sword Saint Son, Furious-Blade Saint Son, and thousands of surviving self-cultivators all nodded and agreed with the Vast Sky Saint Son.
None of them could kill the Thunder Dragon if they were fighting alone. It was only possible if they all stood together. After all, nobody wanted to give up the Thunder Lotus Leaves.
The Thunder Dragon didn’t chase after the rest of the self-cultivators after killing over a thousand of them. Instead, it surrounded the Thunder Lotus Leaves in the middle and guarded the half-immortal herbs.
Its purpose was simple. It wanted to swallow the Thunder Lotus Leaves after they got completely ripe, then it could evolve into a true dragon.
The Vast Sky Saint Son took a glance at Qingfeng Li, then rolled his eyes, and said, “Even if we kill Thunder Dragon in the end, it might benefit someone else. Don’t forget, there is another self-cultivator no less powerful than us.”
The Heavenly-Sword Saint Son frowned and asked, “Vast Sky Saint Son, who is more powerful than us?”
The Vast Sky Saint Son pointed at Qingfeng Li and said, “Don’t forget Qingfeng Li is there. He just killed the Nine-headeded Golden Lion. If he strikes Thunder Dragon with us, we’ll definitely win.”
The Heavenly-Sword Saint Son and the Furious-Blade Saint Son got excited and said simultaneously, “Vast Sky Saint Son, you’re right. Let’s ask Qingfeng Li to fight Thunder Dragon with us. It’s better if he can attract Thunder Dragon’s attention with his speed, then we’ll have great chances to attack.”
The Linglong Saintess frowned a bit. She had a feeling that the Vast Sky Saint Son, the Heavenly-Sword Saint Son, and the Furious-Blade Saint Son didn’t mean well and wanted to trick Qingfeng Li.
Black Puppy reached out its dog paws, looking at Qingfeng Li with admiration, saying, “You’re so powerful. Fortunately, you have sensed Thunder Dragon’s aura and stopped us from going up. Otherwise, some of us might have been injured or even have died.”
