Chapter 91 Lord Ye's Love of Dragons!
Lin Xuan took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Finally, Ao Quan was killed!
In fact, his health bar was already almost empty. If Lin Xuan hadn't been able to see the changes in both sides' health and hadn't been able to keep track of the situation, he would have already agreed to shake hands and make peace with Ao Quan.
"It seems that even among dragons, and even at the same level, there can be a significant difference in combat power."
I'll keep that in mind from now on!
Lin Xuan waved his claws, retrieving the cassock and the purple-gold alms bowl from the air and placing them on his head to protect his body. Then he bit down on Ao Quan's corpse.
He did not use Devour immediately.
This isn't the Jinghai Dragon Palace; there are no protective formations here, and there are too many people around to hide from their eyes.
The scene of being devoured was too bizarre and terrifying. Once the news spread, not only the East Sea Dragon Clan, but even the Heavenly Court would probably be furious and send out a large army from the heavens to capture Lin Xuan.
That would be a huge problem.
Therefore, at this moment, Lin Xuan would rather go through the trouble of swallowing Ao Quan whole first before activating his supernatural powers.
However, this scene still sends chills down one's spine.
A gigantic dragon opened its blood-red maw and tore at the corpse of another dragon.
Many people were so frightened that their limbs went weak and they collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals were equally stunned. They stared at Lin Xuan in silence for a long time before one of the crabs flew out.
This crab was enormous, twice the size of the pet crab Lin Xuan had acquired.
For these aquatic creatures, size is almost synonymous with strength.
Lin Xuan's gaze swept over the crab.
【lv37·Crab Four】
[A trusted confidant of Ao Jia, the eldest prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace, has been sent to Ao Quan's side as a spy. Killing him will damage your relationship with Ao Jia. Please be careful.]
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, not particularly surprised. Ao Quan was telling the truth; this was indeed Ao Jia's territory.
Crab Four stared at Lin Xuan, feeling uncertain. Even if he gritted his teeth and flew over, he didn't dare to speak for a moment. After a long silence, he said:
"Fellow Daoist, why did you attack and kill my Dragon King, and why did you eat him? Don't you know that doing so will create a deadly enmity with the East Sea?"
Crab Four spoke very politely, even to the point of being weak.
However, Lin Xuan did not appreciate the gesture and did not reply immediately.
He tilted his head back, swallowed a piece of dragon meat, spitting out a few drops of dragon blood that landed on Crab Four's head, before saying:
"What Dragon King? I've said it before, your river god is nothing but a fake dragon, I am the real dragon!"
These words left Crab Four speechless, unsure how to respond, and thought to itself:
"I've served the Crown Prince for so many years, do you think I don't know what a true dragon is?"
"This guy is talking nonsense... Wait, is he deliberately stalling for time?"
"I understand! He fought a fierce battle with Ao Quan, and although he emerged victorious, he was severely wounded and on the verge of death!"
That's why he disregarded everything and devoured Ao Quan's corpse right in front of us, hoping to recover from his injuries.
Thinking of this, Crab Four suddenly became excited. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to control Lin Xuan and send him to the Crown Prince to curry favor, he would be able to succeed.
Ao Quan was killed, and Xie Si is to blame; he will certainly be punished by the Crown Prince afterward.
However, if we can capture Lin Xuan, at least the merits and demerits will be balanced.
Crab Four suddenly retreated hundreds of feet, returning to the front of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, raised one of its pincers, and shouted loudly:
"What are you all standing there for? Get over there and seize Lin Xuan!"
"He killed our river god, committing a heinous crime. Only by capturing him and handing him over to the Dragon King of the East Sea can we atone for our sins!"
Its words made a lot of sense, but all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals remained motionless.
These guys weren't stupid; they could also see that Lin Xuan was at his limit and didn't have much magic power left.
But they knew even better that a dragon like Lin Xuan, capable of killing a true dragon, still possessed immense power as long as it hadn't breathed its last.
It might not be able to kill other powerful monsters, but it would be fatal to these shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
If we rush over now, we will surely be swallowed up by Lin Xuan. Although it will also consume Lin Xuan's remaining magic power, it will only benefit others.
Seeing this, Crab Four felt helpless and had no choice but to bring up the eldest prince.
"Don't forget, I'm the Crown Prince's confidant! If you don't listen to me now, I'll definitely complain about you to the Crown Prince later!"
This time his words had an effect.
The four Dragon Kings of the East, West, South, North, and North have ruled the seas for countless years, and their fame is formidable.
After joining the Heavenly Court, although he became a lackey and was not very respectable, his control over the sea tribes actually deepened.
The title of the eldest prince of the Dragon King of the East Sea signifies a powerful authority.
After hesitating for a moment, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals finally dispersed, brandishing their weapons and forming a very scattered formation, like a giant net, pressing down on Lin Xuan.
Although the shrimp soldiers and crab generals took two steps forward and one step back, and although none of them wanted to be at the forefront, they still slowly approached Lin Xuan.
Seeing this scene, many people felt a sense of emotion.
Lin Xuan's strength is astonishing; he can even kill the River God. Unfortunately, he is outnumbered and outmatched, and this time he is likely to be defeated by these small fry.
Beside the carriage, the steward frowned, his emotions a jumble of thoughts.
His mood had been fluctuating wildly all day, and by now he was somewhat numb.
He leaned against the carriage and said to Wei Wen inside, "Master, I've underestimated you. Your judgment is indeed excellent."
"It's all because Lin Xuan was too arrogant; he didn't even bring a few subordinates with him."
Wei Wen, who was in the car, did not understand what he was saying.
The fierce battle just now caused the carriage to shake for a long time, making him dizzy and disoriented.
While covering his mouth to suppress the urge to vomit, Wei Wen read the jumbled reply and said:
"This has nothing to do with my subordinates. I think Lin Xuan is a good person. Go and get me some honey water."
This statement was incoherent, causing the butler to scratch his head. After pondering for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed with delight:
"Does Your Excellency know something else? Did Lin Xuan already tell you that he has a trump card and isn't afraid of those small fry, right?"
Wei Wen was more sober now. After hearing what he said clearly, he asked in confusion, "What trump card? You...?"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Lin Xuan's voice.
Lin Xuan remained calm in the face of the approaching horde of shrimp soldiers and crab generals; at worst, he would simply devour Ao Quan's corpse.
Not only will you be able to plunder talents, but you'll also be able to level up and instantly recover from all injuries.
Although doing this will have endless consequences, that's a problem for the future.
However, Lin Xuan did not intend to do that. He had already prepared a backup plan, and now was the perfect time to launch it.
Lin Xuan roared, "Are you still going to be so stubborn? I've already told you, Ao Quan is nothing but a fake dragon."
"You can't even tell the difference between real and fake, and you're going to offend me over this fake? I think you're really tired of living!"
As Lin Xuan spoke, he also unleashed his dragon might. This was not a supernatural power, but rather an inherent talent that did not consume any magical power when activated.
[You have unleashed "Dragon's Might," affecting nearby creatures, with scaled creatures and aquatic beings being more severely impacted.]
The notification sound flashed by quickly.
The approaching shrimp soldiers and crab generals felt a chill in their hearts, stopped in their tracks, and stared at Lin Xuan, filled with immense fear.
Lin Xuan in front of them underwent a subtle change. The remaining scales emitted an inexplicable aura that they were very familiar with—it was the unique aura of the dragon race.
It is definitely not something a dragon could possess.
"Could he really be a dragon? But if so... what about the original river god?"
Many of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals wavered. Even Crab Four hesitated, sticking out its two eyes to try and figure out Lin Xuan's true identity.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan smiled inwardly and took a deep breath.
[Skill Activation: Allusion Judgment - Lord Ye's Love of Dragons!]
[Judgment successful!]
It turns out that Lin Xuan had already come up with this plan long ago, and had laid the groundwork when dealing with the Jinghai Dragon King.
However, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals outside the Jinghai Dragon Palace were too cowardly. Upon seeing their Dragon King die, they scattered in a panic.
Lin Xuan's plan was thus rendered useless.
But this time it's different.
As the skill assessment succeeded, all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals present, and even the fish, turtles, and floating insects in the water, felt their hearts pound, their vision go black, and their expressions become dazed. They couldn't help but bow to Lin Xuan.
The shrimp soldiers bowed their bodies, raised their whiskers high, and adopted a respectful posture.
The crab will lie down in the air, its two pincers raised in front of its head, as if in a worshipful gesture.
Even Crab Four couldn't control his body and kept bowing.
On the river, countless aquatic creatures rushed to the surface, gathering into a huge shadow, and also bowed to Lin Xuan.
Countless fish and insects swayed their bodies up and down, creating waves.
Stunned and dumbfounded, the ordinary people on the ground were in a daze when they saw this scene, almost unable to believe their eyes.
Are we dreaming?
These shrimp soldiers and crab generals, who were just looking for trouble with Lin Xuan, how come they suddenly bowed down and worshipped him? Did Lin Xuan use some kind of trick?
Although they also felt the influence of the dragon's might, it wasn't very strong, far less profound than what the shrimp soldiers and crab generals felt, so of course they couldn't understand it.
In Lin Xuan's eyes, a bewitching symbol appeared above the heads of all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in front of him.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "The story of Lord Ye's love of dragons is truly powerful; it's an area-of-effect skill, actually controlling so many small fry and crab generals!"
"I just don't know if this story can be applied to a true dragon."
Lin Xuan felt no pressure at this moment, his mind was active and his thoughts were free of distractions.
Logically speaking, a real dragon cannot be influenced by "Lord Ye's love of dragons" (a Chinese idiom meaning to be terrified of others' opinions), but who can say for sure?
Anything is possible if you exploit the bug well enough!
If he could use the "Lord Ye's love of dragons" tactic against a real dragon, he would have an extra powerful trump card.
Lin Xuan kept this in mind and continued to devour Ao Quan's body.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Lin Xuan devoured the enormous dragon corpse, his belly bulging out.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals were even more terrified when they saw this, fearing that Lin Xuan hadn't eaten enough and would eat them as snacks as well. They began to bow again, their movements so fast that they left afterimages.
