Chapter 90 No Negotiation
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals fell silent, unable to advance or retreat, in an extremely difficult predicament.
But this scene, when viewed by ordinary people, led them to misunderstand.
Many people's hearts skipped a beat and they began to doubt: Could it be that our local river god is really not a dragon?
Otherwise, what would these shrimp soldiers and crab generals be hesitating for!
They were unaware that the East Sea Dragon Clan was not a monolithic entity, but rather rife with internal strife, just like the dynasties in the mortal realm.
So of course they would have such thoughts.
"Oh no, what if things are really as Lin Xuan... no, as that foreign dragon said? What should we do then?"
"For so many years, we've been worshipping a fake dragon! If the gods in heaven found out, what good would come of it for us?"
They became anxious and apprehensive, even ignoring the goosebumps on their skin, staring blankly at the sky, their eyes filled with worry.
[Ao Quan's incense offerings are waning, and his power-up is decreasing accordingly!]
The notification sounded again, but this time it was a little slower.
Lin Xuan had already anticipated this and noticed that the golden light on Ao's body had dimmed considerably, revealing the original blue color on his body, and the mysterious pressure from before was gone.
After Lin Xuan's repeated slander, the local people began to question Ao Quan's identity.
Lin Xuan thought to himself, 'It seems that while the power of incense has endless uses, it is also greatly limited and cannot be relied upon as a trump card.'
"If even I can come up with a way to damage the incense offerings, then surely others already knew this trick!"
Lin Xuan still had the composure to think things through, but Ao Quan was already gripped by fear.
This inexplicable dragon suddenly appeared to cause trouble for him. At first, he just thought it was a joke, but now he found that things were not so simple.
This dragon is mysterious and unpredictable, and seems to be closely related to the Third Prince of the East Sea. It possesses numerous magical treasures and has a variety of unique abilities.
Moreover, they used some unknown method to weaken the incense offerings on their body.
Feeling the immense force exerted by Lin Xuan, Ao Quan suddenly spoke, changing his tone and abandoning his previous arrogance, lowering his voice to the lowest possible level.
"Lin Xuan, what exactly do you want from me this time?"
"I don't want to mess with the person behind you. As long as you explain yourself clearly, we can discuss anything!"
If Lin Xuanzhen were truly Ao Bing's subordinate, he would be overjoyed to hear this.
Being able to subdue the enemy without fighting not only minimizes losses but also avoids a falling out with Ao Quan's backers.
Ao Quan is indeed very shrewd and decisive.
Unfortunately, Lin Xuan and Ao Bing had no connection whatsoever.
He opened his mouth wide, turned his head, and took a big bite, tearing a huge wound in Ao Quan's body.
Scales danced in the air, blood staining the sky.
"Aww!"
Ao Quan struggled fiercely, both anxious and furious, and roared, "Lin Xuan, are you insane? Do you really want to fight me to the death?"
He simply couldn't understand why Lin Xuan would continue attacking when he had clearly heard him.
Is this guy a battle maniac?
Ignoring everything else, Lin Xuan continued his attack.
With the added benefit of "using the same trick again", the power of the Dragon Tail Swing was doubled.
Ao Quan, however, lost almost all of his bonuses and was also suppressed by the cassock.
As the tide turned, Ao Quan gradually fell into a disadvantageous position and was firmly pinned down by Lin Xuan. No matter how much he shook his body, he could not break free.
Ao Quan was also angered. This madman, does he really think he can take me down?
He stopped trying to break free and used all his strength to fight back, an eye for an eye, turning around and tearing at Lin Xuan's body.
The scene was extremely brutal, with two enormous creatures locked in a fierce battle in the sky, their dragon blood scattering across the earth as if it were free.
Some lucky creatures, after being touched by dragon blood, actually gained sentience on the spot, bowed twice to the sky, and then turned and ran away.
Many cultivators were envious and wanted to sneak over to collect the dragon's blood and scales.
To natural-born gods and powerful beings, dragons might not be anything special; they are lackeys, working subordinates, or even food providers at a banquet, no different from pigs, cattle, and sheep.
However, in the eyes of cultivators in the mortal world, dragons are treasures from head to toe.
Even if they didn't understand this principle before, they would understand it after seeing those living beings.
Unfortunately, while they may have the desire, few have the courage to act on it.
Lin Xuan and Ao Quan were locked in a fierce battle. At the crucial moment, they paid no attention to their surroundings. If they approached rashly and were caught in the fray, even just being swept by the aftershocks would mean certain death.
In the end, only a very few lucky ones, quick-witted, bold, and meticulous, managed to fly over and snatch a few broken scales before fleeing.
Lin Xuan didn't care about these things at all; all his attention was focused on Ao's entire body.
The azure dragon in front of us is very powerful, and not just in terms of stats.
Reality is ultimately different from games. In games, two bosses with the same stats have the same combat power.
However, in reality, some monsters are even more skilled in combat, able to exert twice the power of one unit of fighting ability.
Some monsters are different; they may possess great magical power, but in a real fight, they shatter upon the slightest touch.
Ao Quan belongs to the former category, using every bit of magical power to the extreme, and his mastery of supernatural abilities has reached an extremely profound level.
This was a very powerful enemy, but Lin Xuan also gained a lot.
"So that's how you use the Dragon's Tail Sweep! Using the reaction force to spin your body and bite! Not bad, I've learned another trick."
A look of joy flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes, and he became more and more energetic as he fought.
On the contrary, Ao Quan began to feel alarmed. Why was this madman's blood and energy so abundant?
He remembered clearly that when he launched his sneak attack, with all his might, even with the snake scale armor protecting him, Lin Xuan would definitely have been severely injured.
Logically speaking, as long as he and Lin Xuan engaged in a war of attrition, it wouldn't be long before Lin Xuan's dragon blood was exhausted, his magic power depleted, and he would be on the verge of death.
But after fighting for so long, Lin Xuan showed no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, he seemed to be getting more and more energetic, which made Ao Quan suspicious.
"Could it be that the Third Prince gave this madman some kind of protection, safeguarding his life?"
"Or perhaps he consumed some kind of miraculous herb beforehand, which is why his vitality is so vigorous!"
Ao Quan became increasingly uneasy and decided to discuss it with Lin Xuan again, as he didn't want to continue fighting.
This madman has too many tricks up his sleeve; he's not easy to deal with.
However, Lin Xuan did not answer, and continued to bite.
In fact, Ao Quan was wrong. Lin Xuan's health was indeed in danger, but he was different from ordinary beings because he had the support of the system.
As long as the health bar is not depleted, combat power will not be affected in any way.
In the blink of an eye, several dozen breaths had passed. Both Lin Xuan and Ao Quan were covered in wounds, with only a fraction of their scales remaining, and they were in a very sorry state.
The dragon's blood was almost like flowing light; if they weren't all very powerful monsters, they would have already died from blood loss.
Large amounts of blood stained the nearby rivers red. After this battle, who knows how many monsters will emerge.
Ao Quan, panting heavily, his dragon whiskers twitching, cried out in a mournful voice, "Lin Xuan, do you really want to fight me to the bitter end? Is there no room for negotiation between us?"
"Could it be that I offended the Third Prince in the past, and he issued a kill order against me?"
This was the only possibility that Ao Quan could think of.
Lin Xuan pursed her lips slightly, too lazy to pay attention to him, and then bit his paw hard again.
Ao Quan wanted to dodge, but his movements were already very slow, and he was also tightly entangled by Lin Xuan, so he didn't have time to react.
-3000!
A health depletion symbol popped up above Ao Quan's head; this was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
You have defeated the River God, Ao Quan.
