Dragon Tamer

Chapter 481: Chapter 483: Tail of the Underworld Lamp
 

Zhu Minglang followed the vast indentation he had torn open with his sword on the seafloor, moving forward.

He glanced at the head of the Holy Candle Dragon King and found that this Holy Candle Dragon King was already on its last breath.

The once invincible Dragon King also had a moment of demise. If Zhao Yu had been determined to fight to the death with him, his Holy Candle Dragon King could have contended with him for a while; this attempt to flee was no different from sending the dragon to its death.

However, after walking several circles on the seafloor, Zhu Minglang had not seen the young Prince Zhao Yu.

“Can you smell his blood? He should have been seriously injured by me too,” Zhu Minglang inquired of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon.

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon nodded, swimming from behind Zhu Minglang, its feathers once again turning into a dark hue.

Zhu Minglang jumped onto its back, searching along the sloping seafloor.

Before long, Zhu Minglang also smelled a trace of blood, wafting from a rocky undersea forest ahead.

Zhu Minglang entered and soon saw the young Prince Zhao Yu holding his breath under the sea, enduring pain while treating his wounds.

The young Prince Zhao Yu was covered in injuries, and his distinguished royal robes had long been burnt and tattered. He had summoned the Gold Demon Dragon King anew, intending to escape riding the dragon that had lost its scales…

However, Zhu Minglang, sword in hand, rode the Dark Fiend Dragon, looking down with a cold and haughty gaze at the sorry figure of the young Prince Zhao Yu.

“Zhu Minglang, I have already paid the price. If you stop making things difficult for me now, I promise to expend all I have to elevate the status of your Zhu Gate as the foremost among the family doors after returning to the Imperial Dynasty!” the young Prince Zhao Yu pleaded somewhat.

“Since the phrase ‘irreconcilable differences’ has been spoken, it should be acted upon. If you can’t do it, I’ll help you!” Zhu Minglang didn’t waste words. He swung his sword once again, and the sword in his hand immediately shone as bright as the sun, so much so that the surrounding water started to evaporate into gas!!

With a clean and sharp sword strike, the ocean bottom seemed like it had a volcano erupting violently. A massive Flaming Giant Sword apparition, as if a weapon of a Heavenly God, struck the scaleless Gold Demon Dragon King from nine different directions.

The Gold Demon Dragon King roared. Without the protection of scale armor, its body was impaled with those huge Flaming Giant Swords, each penetrating to its dragon bones!

“BOOM!!!!!!!!”

Suddenly, all the Flaming Giant Swords exploded, releasing devastating energy.

The Gold Demon Dragon King’s body was blown open, with white bones exposed in several places, looking as if they had also shattered into pieces.

Dragon demon blood gushed forth. The Gold Demon Dragon King, with its bulky frame, had more abundant blood, but its vitality was also extremely powerful. Even under such an attack, it did not fall.

It transformed into a Blood Fiend Dragon, its body shedding chunks of rotten flesh, yet still charging forward. The thick blood did not flow or spread but became the dragon’s skin under the control of the Gold Demon Dragon King!

It attacked with a barrage of demonic Qi, as if the severe injuries had no effect on its combat ability.

Zhu Minglang dodged, avoiding a direct collision with the rampaging bleeding Demon Dragon.

Behind him, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon took the initiative to attack the bloodied, festering Demon Dragon King, whose body could even disintegrate into a huge pile of tainted blood, then envelop the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon within it.

Making use of its dark hide, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon skillfully wove through the bloody energy. Its eyes piercingly sharp, it seemed to discern the exact location of the festering Demon Dragon King’s body within the mound of blood and flesh, and the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon opened its mouth and spat out an annihilating light at one of the bloody chunks!

The light struck the lump of dirty blood and flesh, which was clearly part of the Blood Demon Dragon King’s spine, revealing a massive white vertebra. However, this giant spine bone suddenly slammed into the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, sending it flying away.

Enraged to the extreme, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon swam back, spreading its wings while its tail hung down to the sea floor.

The decomposed Dragon King demon bodies attacked once again. This time, the Dark Crystal Horn on the head of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon suddenly unleashed energy like black lightning, which traveled from the Dragon Horn along its elongated body to its tail.

At the position of its tail, there was supposed to be a tail lantern embedded, but as the black lightning energy accumulated at the tip, it lit up like a lamp, subsequently casting a terrifying pallid light, turning the already pitch-black seabed into a ghostly shade of deathly pale!

It was as if a terrifying Underworld Lamp of Black Night had sunk to the bottom of the ocean. The light from the Underworld Lamp shone on the sea creatures, whose bodies immediately emitted black smoke, their sturdy forms seeming to melt away!

Similarly, under the illumination of the Tail of the Underworld Lamp, the mutilated flesh lumps of the Demon Dragon King, which could fight on in several sections, were also melting, quickly turning into a pool of black sludge, as horrifying as if living flesh had been drained dry!

Zhu Minglang was witnessing the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon unleash this ability for the first time, using its Dark Crystal Horn and tail to create a deathly underworld luminescence…

If the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon had managed to successfully transcend its tribulation at that time, it probably would have only needed to fly high into the sky and then employ the Tail of the Underworld Lamp, and there might not be many creatures left alive on the tea-colored ground to survive this deathly light!!

The Gold Demon Dragon King was already injured, and seeing its few remaining pieces of flesh being dissolved by the Dragon Tail Nether Lamp, it hurriedly began to reassemble its body.

Zhu Minglang had been waiting for this moment. As the Gold Demon Dragon King’s body came together, he located the position of its Dragon Heart and suddenly drew his sword!

“Shadowless Sword!”

The sword was swift and shadowless, capable of piercing through mountain ranges. Without its Dragon Scales armor, and stripped of flesh and bone, how could the Gold Demon Dragon King resist this one strike!

The sword struck directly at the Demon Dragon’s heart, revealing that the flesh hadn’t had time to cover it yet, and the Demon Dragon’s heart was instantly shattered, with the most precious heart essence blood of the Gold Demon Dragon King scattering everywhere!

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon retracted the Tail of the Underworld Lamp, and its eyes brightened like lanterns at the sight of the Dragon’s Heart Essence Blood.

It flipped its Scale Feathers, activating its blood-sucking ability, as thick strands of essence floated towards the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, which appeared to be reveling in pleasure. It was visible that its Dark Crystal Horn underwent a noticeable change while absorbing the Dragon King’s blood, growing more sinister and resembling a black Demon Crown.

…

Having slain another Dragon King, the young prince Zhao Yu was now in agony, crawling on the ground like a lowly sea worm.

Three dragons…

Prince Zhao Yu had now lost three dragons.

With the Spirit Contract broken thrice, he was left without the strength to flee any longer; he couldn’t even maintain his breath-holding technique, and the bloody seawater began pouring into his nose and throat, nearly suffocating him to death.

Zhu Minglang walked over and slapped him on the head with the back of his sword.

He had intended to simply knock out the wretched prince, as keeping him alive still had some use, at least to compensate for the losses of Zhu Gate. Yet, with that slap, he nearly shattered Prince Zhao Yu’s forehead!!

Prince Zhao Yu bled from all seven orifices on the spot, looking no different from dead.
