Chapter 153, 8 hexagrams
Lin Xuan did not answer Ao Guang's question immediately. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and seemed to be contemplating something.
He quickly opened his eyes again without speaking, but the images in the sky flickered once more.
Even Venus was a little angry: "Thousand-mile Eyes!"
The all-seeing eye, on the verge of tears, hurriedly said:
"This really isn't my fault! For some reason, the dragon's might in the East Sea Dragon Palace has suddenly increased several times over!"
Venus, of course, did not believe it.
He knew Ao Guang's strength very well; he had already given his all just now, and it was impossible for him to expand his Dragon Might again.
Venus curled his lip and said:
"Don't spout nonsense! How could the dragon's might have increased? I think it's clearly because you've been indulging in pleasures and neglecting your cultivation that you've made such a fool of yourself!"
"When I return to Heaven, I will definitely report you to the Jade Emperor!"
The man with the far-reaching vision was anxious and sweating profusely. He wanted to explain, but didn't know how to begin.
Venus makes a lot of sense.
"If it's not Ao Guang, then who else could it be? Could it be that the dragon race still has any survivors, some ancient beings who have lived from the distant past?"
A thousand-mile-eyed man gave a bitter smile and muttered to himself.
But the person beside him who could hear the wind was already showing a look of surprise.
It turns out that the supernatural ability of "Feng Hu" (a person with exceptional hearing) was also greatly affected, but he could still hear clearly.
Ao Guang asked, trembling, "Lin Xuan, how can you also unleash dragon might? You're just a dragon!"
Ao Guang should indeed be surprised; this is an ironclad rule that has lasted for countless millennia.
Dragon's might is a unique technique of the true dragon; it is not a supernatural power, but it surpasses supernatural powers.
This is a technique that no dragon could possibly use.
What surprised Ao Guang even more was that Lin Xuan's dragon might was in no way inferior to his, and was even stronger!
"This is impossible!" Ao Guang roared, his voice shaking the heavens.
The entire East Sea Dragon Palace trembled, and even the sea surface was affected, with waves rising.
The coral reef swayed and rocked, and many shrimp and crabs were overturned on the ground, looking bewildered and at a loss.
This is the voice of the Dragon King, but why is the Dragon King roaring?
Could it be that they can't defeat that dragon?
They still dared not enter the Dragon Palace, knowing nothing of what was happening there, only that Ao Guang had entered the palace not long ago.
Therefore, we can only speculate.
Lin Xuan looked at Ao Guang, and a very bright notification appeared in front of his eyes.
【Dragon's Might!】
[Dragon's Might is activated. This is your special divine power, with no cost.]
[You are currently in the 'Dragon Palace', and your dragon power has been enhanced!]
Lin Xuan grinned and said to Ao Guang:
"What's impossible about that? I told you long ago, a lackey of Heaven like you doesn't deserve to be the Dragon King!"
Ao Guang was taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly shook his head and said, "So what?"
"Even if I'm not worthy to be the Dragon King, you, this dragon, are even less worthy!"
At this moment, a thought also arose in his mind. He stopped staring at Lin Xuan, looked up at the sky, and said sincerely:
"Could it be that a senior figure has arrived here?"
"If you are willing to show yourself, I am willing to offer up the Dragon King's throne to help you revive the dragon race!"
He also suspected that during the great battle between the dragons and phoenixes, some ancient dragons escaped and have lived to this day.
This is actually quite normal. During the Lich Wars, some great witches did not die but instead became saints.
Lin Xuan guessed Ao Guang's thoughts and said:
"You don't need to look anymore. There are no other dragons here, only you and me."
Ao Guang didn't believe it at all and continued to gaze devoutly at the sky. Seeing this, Lin Xuan didn't bother to say anything more and attacked with his claws.
"boom!"
【-twenty four】
After evolving into a true dragon, even a simple basic attack deals several times the damage of the previous one.
Ao Guang was caught off guard and forced to retreat, his claws leaving deep scratches on the ground with a piercing sound.
If anyone were nearby, they would definitely get goosebumps.
Ao Guang roared angrily, "Lin Xuan, how dare you ambush me? I am the Dragon King!"
Lin Xuan found it laughable.
"You're nothing, you Dragon King!"
He continued his attack while sneering, leaving dozens of wounds on Ao Guang's body in a very short time.
【-twenty four】
【-twenty four】
"As a powerful member of the Dragon Clan, you only know how to grovel before the Heavenly Court, claiming it's all for the sake of protecting the Dragon Clan."
"Then let me ask you this: when the Heavenly Court holds a banquet, there must be one dish on the menu—dragon liver!"
"Where did this dragon liver come from?"
Ao Guang was already out of breath from the beating, and upon hearing this, his eyes turned red, unsure how to explain.
Where does dragon liver come from? It comes from taking offspring with thin bloodlines from the dragon race, sending them to the Heavenly Court from a young age, and raising them as livestock.
These were things that no one dared to bring up in front of Ao Guang.
Now that Lin Xuan had exposed him, Ao Guang was filled with impotent rage and roared once more.
"So what? Although some of our descendants died, my dragon race has prospered and flourished, enjoying dominance across the four seas!"
"Without the protection of the Heavenly Court, how many more dragons would have died?"
Lin Xuan stared at Ao Guang, somewhat surprised.
In the game, Ao Guang has a strong presence, but he is more like a tool.
Although he appears frequently, he is almost always stereotypical: he gets angry when he should and gives in when he should.
They rarely express their inner emotions.
Lin Xuan never expected that his habitual grumbling would actually elicit Ao Guang's true feelings.
"What a pity, a broken mental defense isn't a debuff." Lin Xuan glanced at Ao Guang's head and shook his head.
But he quickly stopped thinking about these things and attacked again, engaging in a fierce battle with Ao Guang.
Ao Guang noticed that Lin Xuan didn't reply, and assumed that Lin Xuan had nothing to say, which made him slightly smug.
Relying on his protective magic weapon, he didn't defend at all and attacked Lin Xuan head-on.
In an instant, a great battle broke out deep within the Dragon Palace, destroying the main hall and reducing it to ruins.
Not only the main hall, but also some smaller palaces in the distance were collapsed.
In a very short time, the Dragon Palace suffered a great calamity, and countless magnificent buildings were destroyed.
Lin Xuan had many wounds on his body, and health deduction symbols kept appearing above his head.
But Lin Xuan was not alarmed. He only looked at the health bar and realized that he was now no less powerful than Ao Guang.
The Overturning Sea Demon Dragon's bloodline is even more powerful and noble than Ao Guang's.
In the game's parlance, I've already won in terms of basic stats; my data is superior to yours.
Both sides unleashed their dragon might, unable to use other supernatural abilities. Relying solely on their physical strength, Lin Xuan was not afraid at all.
The two fought their way from the depths of the Dragon Palace to its edge.
The fish, turtles, shrimp, and crabs in the sea trembled with fear as the loud noise approached, too terrified to stay, yet even more afraid to flee.
This is desertion in the face of battle. If Ao Guang had the last laugh, only to find that his men had already fled far away, he would surely be furious.
They will all die then.
The fish, turtles, shrimps, and crabs all huddled on the ground, burying their heads in the sand, pretending to be ostriches.
Only a very few daring sea creatures dared to raise their heads and stare at the Dragon Palace.
The Dragon King Ao Guang was seen fighting a great battle with a completely unfamiliar dragon.
"Where did this dragon come from? Could it be Lin Xuan's helper?"
Just as they were wondering, they heard Ao Guang's voice, which was slightly panicked.
"No! Lin Xuan, could you truly be a dragon? But what race are you?"
At this point, Ao Guang belatedly realized the truth.
If Lin Xuan were truly just a dragon, he couldn't have withstood so many attacks and still remained full of energy.
There is only one explanation.
When Ao Guang’s voice rang out, even the shrimp and crabs that had already burrowed into the sand couldn’t help but look up in shock.
What? The one fighting the Dragon King over there is actually Lin Xuan?
This……
They stared wide-eyed and opened their mouths, completely bewildered.
Chen Tang Pass also fell into an eerie silence.
Venus frowned, stroking his white beard incessantly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Ao Guang's words were truly laughable. Lin Xuan was just a short distance away; I saw it clearly.
That really was a dragon.
How come you dare to say Lin Xuan is a true dragon in the blink of an eye?
"He's really getting senile! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have made him the Dragon King of the East Sea!" Venus muttered under his breath.
After a moment of silence, the heavenly soldiers quickly regained their composure.
Even if Lin Xuan is a true dragon, as long as he can't use that strange divine power on himself, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Dragons? Do you think we've never eaten them before?
"I was wondering why Lin Xuan was going against the East Sea Dragon Clan. Now it seems there's more to it than meets the eye!"
A heavenly soldier, his face full of gossip, began to spread rumors about Ao Guang.
According to him, Lin Xuan was Ao Guang's illegitimate son and was abandoned when he was young.
As luck would have it, an immortal happened to pass by and took Lin Xuan as his disciple, teaching him with great care.
After attaining enlightenment, Lin Xuan returned to Dongfang to seek revenge.
"Only this makes sense!" The heavenly soldier clapped his hands and stated his conclusion.
In fact, his analysis was completely illogical and full of flaws, but the heavenly soldiers loved it and all nodded in agreement.
"That makes sense!"
"What you said is the truth."
"I've long heard that dragons are inherently lewd, and what you said is absolutely true!"
The heavenly soldiers clapped and cheered.
In Chen Tang Pass, even Nezha began to have doubts, scratching the back of his head and muttering to himself.
"Could those heavenly soldiers be right? If so, it doesn't seem right for me to help Brother Lin kill Ao Bing!"
Not far away, Li Jing had somehow walked up to Nezha's side. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
You brat, you always drive your own father crazy, and you never know what filial piety is.
But when it comes to other people's problems, you're so understanding!
He stomped his foot angrily, but quickly remembered his business. He walked briskly to Nezha's vicinity and whispered:
"What are you still standing there for?"
"Since the heavenly soldiers are all watching the show, you can leave now!"
Nezha was shocked and turned around to stare blankly at Li Jing, almost thinking he had misheard.
When did my old man become so good to me?
Li Jing guessed Nezha's thoughts, felt somewhat embarrassed, and coughed a few times.
He used to look down on Nezha, and even hoped that Nezha would have some accident and die at the hands of others.
When the Heavenly Court dispatched troops to punish Nezha, he did not stop him from dying.
However, now that things have come to this, he suddenly realizes that his son was actually being used by Lin Xuan, and was being used as a tool by Lin Xuan.
Li Jing naturally changed his opinion.
"Your older brother has ulterior motives; he's just using you to get you to help him get revenge!"
"Since that's the case, this matter has nothing to do with you. Why should you risk your life for Lin Xuan? You should leave quickly and seek refuge with your master."
"As long as reason is on your side, he will definitely save your life!"
