Chapter 532 - 533 Wu Has Eight Extremes that Shake Qiankun [Second Update]
Azure Dragon wanted to play a trick on Wu Tian to vent his anger, but on the surface, he naturally didn’t dare to be too presumptuous. After all, Wu Tian was the Martial God, an existence that could crush him with a single finger. Yet, the members of the Dragon Group were incredibly proud. If he didn’t let this out, the memory would torment him for the rest of his life.
"Mr. Wu Tian, the Lord of the Four Seas has arrived and is waiting for you. Please follow me," Azure Dragon said with a respectful expression.
Wu Tian nodded. Azure Dragon and the White Dragon Lady began to lead the way, with Wu Tian and the others following. Normally, the path from the cabin door to the Central Chamber, where the Lord of the Four Seas was, only required a single turn. But after leading Wu Tian around one corner, Azure Dragon headed toward another.
The White Dragon Lady’s brow furrowed slightly; she had already figured out how Azure Dragon was trying to mess with Wu Tian.
In the next moment, however, Wu Tian suddenly stopped, standing motionless.
Seeing this, Azure Dragon’s pupils constricted. He quickly feigned a puzzled look, as if nothing was wrong. "What’s the matter, Lord Martial God? Are we not going? The Lord of the Four Seas is waiting for you. We need to hurry!"
Wu Tian sighed lightly. "I really didn’t want to hit anyone today."
"..." Azure Dragon froze, his heart involuntarily speeding up. But as a member of the Dragon Group, his outward composure was flawless. He pretended not to understand, asking blankly, "Lord Martial God, why would you say that?"
"Do you want me to be the one to cripple you? Or should my daughter do it? Or perhaps one of my family’s little monsters?" Wu Tian’s tone was playful, but his words were no joke at all, creating a solemn air that was enough to make anyone’s heart tremble with fear.
Cold sweat beaded on Azure Dragon’s forehead. "Lord Martial God... what... what exactly did I do wrong?"
The White Dragon Lady stood to the side, unsure of what to do. Should I speak up for Azure Dragon? But what he did was definitely wrong. Should I side with Wu Tian? But Azure Dragon has been my comrade-in-arms for years.
Ignoring the White Dragon Lady’s dilemma, Wu Tian glanced at Little Kirin. Too lazy to argue, he simply commanded, "Cripple him!"
An ordinary person would already be dead for such an offense. But the Dragon Group served the country, so Wu Tian would grant them some face.
Little Kirin trotted out from behind Wu Tian. It was now as large as a wolfhound, with a unique appearance and a fierce, beastly aura that was impossible to ignore. As the captain of the Azure Dragon Combat Team, Azure Dragon was highly sensitive to danger. He couldn’t help but retreat. This dog that looked like a Qilin made him feel the chilling breath of death.
"Lord of the Four Seas! Captain Zhan Long! Help me!" Azure Dragon immediately shouted.
In truth, they weren’t far from the Central Chamber. Furthermore, the chamber had surveillance, so the Lord of the Four Seas, Zhan Long, and the others were already rushing over. The Dragon Group had a rule: resolve issues on your own unless your life was at stake. But if faced with a life-threatening crisis, you were forbidden from toughing it out; you had to call for help. Every member of the Dragon Group carried the hopes of the Dragon Country, as the nation expended significant resources to train each one.
The Lord of the Four Seas and Zhan Long quickened their pace, aided by a wind-ability user among them who sped up the entire group.
"What is going on here?" the Lord of the Four Seas demanded the moment he arrived. He glanced at Wu Tian and saw the cold look on his face. Wu Tian was proud, but he wasn’t one to kill the innocent. If you didn’t offend him, nothing would happen.
"I... I don’t know how I offended the Lord Martial God! I didn’t do anything, but he said he wants to cripple me," Azure Dragon pleaded, his words ringing with feigned innocence as he begged the Lord of the Four Seas and Zhan Long to stand up for him.
Zhan Long frowned. Unlike the Lord of the Four Seas, he didn’t know Wu Tian’s character. He only knew that Azure Dragon was his subordinate and his comrade. Within the Dragon Group, the brothers were of one heart and one mind. As the leader of the Dragon Group, he naturally had to protect his own.
"Martial God, your reputation is great, but my Dragon Group is not to be trifled with. I hope you can be reasonable, alright?" Had it been anyone else, Zhan Long would have already lost his temper. But Wu Tian was so powerful that it forced Zhan Long to speak in a much milder tone. Even so, it was clear he was taking Azure Dragon’s side.
"Be reasonable? Good! I happen to be a big fan of being reasonable!" Wu Tian nodded, appearing to agree completely with Zhan Long’s words. This made Zhan Long and Azure Dragon both let out a sigh of relief. Azure Dragon was no longer tense; he had truly feared that Wu Tian would insist on holding him accountable, which would have made things difficult.
But in the next moment, Wu Tian turned to Azure Dragon and, with a radiant smile, said, "This dog of mine has a name. It’s called ’Reason’."
As Wu Tian’s words fell, all eyes locked onto him.
Shameless! Utterly shameless! they all thought. But how could the Lord of the Four Seas and the others say that out loud? It was pure sarcasm on Wu Tian’s part. They began to wonder how they could tactfully convey their wish to resolve the conflict amicably.
"What? You can’t even beat my dog? And you still call yourself a member of the Dragon Group?" But before the Lord of the Four Seas and Zhan Long could come up with a plan, Wu Tian had already spoken, seizing the initiative.
Little Kirin also looked at Azure Dragon with disdain and chimed in, "If the Dragon Group is so weak, is there even a reason for it to exist?"
Azure Dragon’s fists clenched. He could tolerate personal insults, but insults against the Dragon Group were something he could never endure. It’s just a strange-looking dog. What’s there to be afraid of?
"Azure Dragon, stop!" Zhan Long commanded.
But Azure Dragon didn’t listen. He raised his fists, as big as sandbags, and lunged forward. In civil arts, Tai Chi pacifies the world; in martial arts, Ba Ji Quan shakes Qiankun! Azure Dragon had no special abilities, but he was a master of Ba Ji Quan. On the outside, he would rank at least third or fourth among the Seven Saints of Dragon Country. Ba Ji Quan was a close-quarters fist technique, its movements characterized by a fierce, unadorned, and explosive style. It was a potent fighting art, embodying the saying, "A shrug of the shoulders can topple the heavens, a stomp of the foot can shake the nine provinces of Jiuzhou."
At that moment, Azure Dragon unleashed the "Vajra Eight Forms" of Ba Ji Quan, striking toward Little Kirin. In his eyes, his technique could kill a tiger; taking down a strange-looking dog shouldn’t be much of a challenge.
Little Kirin noticed the disdain in Azure Dragon’s eyes. It couldn’t stand the look and immediately lunged at him, letting out a roar that was less like a bark and more like a dragon’s cry, a roar that echoed through the heavens and seemed to shatter the very world.
Azure Dragon’s fist landed on Little Kirin, but to the creature, it felt like nothing more than a tickle. Then, with a swipe of its claw, it seized Azure Dragon’s head.
WHOOSH!
It smashed Azure Dragon’s head directly onto the ground. BANG! As his head hit the floor, he felt a dizzying impact, and then he blacked out. When he woke up, he would likely be a drooling imbecile.
The scene that unfolded before them was utterly shocking. The hearts of the Lord of the Four Seas, Zhan Long, and the others all skipped a beat.
The White Dragon Lady let out a cry. "AH!" Azure Dragon had only wanted to play a small trick on Wu Tian, and this was the consequence? Was Wu Tian truly someone who could not be offended?
Now that Azure Dragon was left in this state, would the Lord of the Four Seas and Zhan Long lose their tempers with Wu Tian?
