Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 716 Betrayal
"My Lord, now that things have come to this, we will meet again if we are destined to do so."

Bai Minglang's voice came lightly.

This man had evil intentions and seemed to be loyal to King Zheng, but he betrayed him at the most critical moment.

It is not accurate to say that it was a betrayal. Bai Minglang simply withdrew from the situation when he saw that it was unfavorable. It would be more accurate to say that he was taking advantage of the situation rather than betrayal.

Bai Minglang's figure quickly rose into the air, and then he stepped on something in the air. He suddenly used the force to change direction and accelerate again.

Apart from anything else, Bai Minglang is indeed a strong man in the Pseudo Heavenly Dao Realm, and his speed in running away is not ambiguous at all.

But how could Li Xuan let such a threatening enemy escape?

No matter how much strength Bai Minglang had left after maintaining the Dragon Transformation Formation, he did not dare to let the enemy in the Pseudo-Heavenly Dao Realm lie dormant.

Prince Zheng at least still has a force, but Bai Minglang has been a lone wolf since then.

Such an enemy is no less dangerous than King Zheng.

Li Xuan immediately controlled the red dragon and used the dragon's tail to hit Bai Minglang.

Although Bai Minglang is a master of the pseudo-heavenly realm, Li Xuan now controls the power of the Red Dragon, who truly possesses the power of the heavenly realm.

Bai Minglang was not in the best condition and was hit by the red dragon's tail and shot back like a ball.

But Li Xuan felt that the touch of the Red Dragon was a bit strange, as if it hit a spring and encountered considerable resistance.

As expected, Bai Minglang was not taken down by this move of the dragon's tail. Instead, he used the force to fly backwards and escape at a faster speed.

Li Xuan vaguely saw that the void hit by the dragon's tail was strangely reflecting the moonlight.

Only if you look closely can you find that there are dense metal wires there.

These threads gradually faded and eventually disappeared.

At this time, Bai Minglang's voice sounded again:
"Thank you for seeing me off, I hope we can meet again in the future."

Bai Minglang said goodbye in a cool manner, his tone still calm and relaxed.

After he conveyed the message, his expression immediately darkened and a strange blush flashed across his face.

The blow from the tail just now had already caused him serious injuries.

The Pseudo Heavenly Dao Realm is, after all, a Pseudo Heavenly Dao Realm. It may be useful to bully the peak-level second-grade masters, but it is useless when encountering the real Heavenly Dao Realm.

"I was so panicked that I didn't know where to go and ended up heading towards the city."

Bai Minglang felt a sense of fear and knew why Li Xuan was still chasing him while holding King Zheng in his arms.

He hadn't thought of this just now, and only came to his senses after being hit by the dragon's tail.

I'm afraid Li Xuan was afraid that he would go to the capital city to take hostages, so he stopped him.

Now that Bai Minglang is moving in the direction that Li Xuan is hitting him, there should be no reason for him to continue chasing him.

After all, there are really important questions left to be answered beneath Meteor Crater.

He just didn't believe that Li Xuan could ignore the problem of the evil dragon.

"call--"

Bai Minglang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously looked back, which almost made him lose his soul.

He looked back and the huge dragon head occupied his entire field of vision.

The red dragon opened its ferocious bloody mouth, and King Zheng was still pierced on its sharp dragon fangs. King Zheng stared at him with resentful and mocking eyes.

"You little raccoon, don't go too far!"

Bai Minglang was so anxious that his voice was a little out of tune.

Li Xuan didn't care about his nonsense and let the red dragon bite him with a grunt.

Bai Minglang rolled his tongue and actually turned out a red pill from the bottom of his tongue.

He bit hard with his upper and lower teeth, breaking the red outer coating of the pill. The pill inside melted in his mouth and turned into a warm current that fell straight into his Dantian Qi Sea.

"A myriad of threads!"

Bai Minglang did not dare to be careless and directly used desperate means.

It was already a stretch for him to take the blow from the dragon's tail just now.

If he gets bitten again, he might not be as lucky as King Zheng who can still hold on.

He is protected by the evil dragon's aura, and his strength at the Pseudo Heavenly Dao Realm is really not enough in front of the Red Dragon.

The red dragon bit down with all its might, but Li Xuan felt as if he was biting into solid dental floss, and there was an inexplicable resistance.

Li Xuan knew that it must be Bai Minglang's trick again.

But these resistances did not last long. They only blocked for a moment before they broke apart and made a harsh noise.

boom!
The red dragon clenched its teeth hard, making a loud noise.

King Zheng, who was wearing the dragon tooth, also suffered. He vomited a large mouthful of black blood and became even more listless.

But King Zheng was obviously a little weird at this time. Even so, his body could not be broken into two pieces. It still hung there in tatters, like a piece of meat stuffed in a dragon's tooth.

Bai Minglang took the opportunity to escape, and then thin metal lines reflecting the moonlight appeared around the red dragon.

These metal wires suddenly closed together, some appeared out of thin air, and some bounced up from the ground, as if they were going to cut the entire world into pieces.

But Li Xuan was not afraid at all. He drove the red dragon to shake its body, breaking all the metal wires.

But in just a short while, Bai Minglang's figure had completely disappeared.

Bai Minglang's voice was heard again all around, but this time his voice was a little strange, like the sound of metal and stone colliding or a pipa playing music.

"For those who are destined to be together, leave a way out for them so that we can meet again in the future."

"When things go your way, they become your friends; when things go your way, they become your enemies. It is easy to make friends or enemies."

"Bai, I'm leaving!"

As Bai Minglang finished his words, passionate pipa music sounded all around as a parting gift.

But Li Xuan knew that this was Bai Minglang's way of concealing his own breath, making it impossible for Li Xuan to tell the direction of his escape.

He looked up and around, and found that there were many invisible metal wires vibrating, making sounds like a pipa.

Bai Minglang's aura was masked by this pipa music.

Li Xuan looked back in the direction of the Meteorite Crater. He didn't dare to go too far away.

King Zheng is still alive, and who knows what other effects the evil dragon energy can have.

Knowing that he could not do anything to Bai Minglang today, Li Xuan immediately warned:

"If I meet you again in Daxing, I will hunt you down to death even if it means I'm at the end of the world."

"Till death!"

Bai Minglang, who had already fled far away, felt relieved when he heard Li Xuan's threat.

At least Li Xuan won't chase him again tonight.

Bai Minglang did not take Li Xuan's threat as a joke.

Li Xuan is a man of destiny. Even now, he can be easily controlled with the help of the Dragon Transformation Battle Formation, not to mention the future.

Bai Minglang was well aware of the horror of the Chosen One.

"It's a pity that King Zheng's years of planning were wasted."

Bai Minglang let out a sigh, with more and more blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. His injuries could no longer be suppressed.

If it weren't for the life-saving pill that provided him with the burst of power, he would have been pierced by the dragon's fang.

Bai Minglang didn't dare to stay any longer and left Daxing without looking back.

……

When Li Xuan heard the pipa music coming to an end, he knew that Bai Minglang had left completely.

Although it is a pity to let this powerful person in the Pseudo Heavenly Dao Realm escape, things have come to this point and there is no better way.

As long as he didn't run to the provincial capital, Li Xuan wouldn't be that worried.

At first, when Bai Minglang ran towards the provincial capital, his heart really skipped a beat.

Even though Bai Minglang had consumed a lot of energy maintaining the Dragon Transformation Formation before, he was, after all, a strong man in the Pseudo-Heavenly Dao Realm.

If we let him run to the capital, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop him.

By then, the two little girls will be in danger.

"Well……"

Blood oozed from Li Xuan's mouth and nose, and his vision went dark.

He had previously forced the will of heaven to help him, and his body was already in a state of overload.

Now with Bai Minglang, the last threatening enemy, gone, Li Xuan couldn't help but relax a little, almost causing him to pass out.

"No, not yet..."

Li Xuan said in his heart.

He could hear his heartbeat beating like a war drum in his ears.

Li Xuan's heartbeat was extremely intense, so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his throat, making him feel nauseous and depressed.

He could smell the distinct smell of blood when he breathed.

The bloody smell came not only from the bloodstains winding between his mouth and nose, but also from his body.

"Ah Xuan, are you okay?"

Wang Xi's hoarse voice sounded from behind him.

The five old eunuchs who maintained the Dragon Transformation Formation were not feeling much better either.

But they have practiced the Dragon Transformation Battle Formation for a lifetime, and they know that if they want to make the Red Dragon exert such strength, they cannot do it even if they let themselves die several times.

They knew that most of the pressure was borne by Li Xuan.

Except for Wang Xi, the other four old eunuchs saw Li Xuan in person for the first time. They knew that there was such a man of destiny as Li Xuan, and they also knew that Emperor Yongyuan had high hopes for Li Xuan.

But only today did they truly understand the true weight of the three words "Destiny's Chosen One".

At the beginning, when Emperor Yongyuan had great expectations for the so-called "auspicious sign from heaven", the five of them just thought that Emperor Yongyuan was just trying desperate measures.

But as Li Xuan proved himself step by step, and even cultivated the Yin-Yang Qi and became the one with destiny, turning the tide tonight, they no longer doubted the four words "auspicious sign from heaven".

Behind Zhao Feng's back, they cursed him a lot, and even Manager Shang was branded as a bad parent.

But now when these old eunuchs think back to those words, their faces turn red.

Li Xuan shook his head silently, causing the Red Dragon to bar its teeth.

Suddenly, King Zheng's screams were heard.

Li Xuan discovered that King Zheng's terrible injury was actually slowly recovering, so he deliberately let the red dragon bare its fangs to re-enlarge the wound.

This sudden movement startled Wang Xi and others, and only then did they discover the strange phenomenon happening to King Zheng.

"What on earth is this evil dragon that can give King Zheng such terrible power?"

The five old eunuchs looked at each other in shock.

"Go back...seal the formation..."

Li Xuan spoke with difficulty.

At this time, King Zheng stopped screaming and laughed instead:
"Hehehe..."

"Even if you are the Chosen One..."

"Even if you were a talking cat..."

"It's impossible to reseal the formation!"

King Zheng's tone was extremely firm, not like the resentful curse of someone who had lost everything.

Li Xuan just glanced at King Zheng and ignored him.

He immediately drove the red dragon back to the Meteorite Crater.

Although Li Xuan had only been chasing Bai Minglang for a short while, he had already rushed out for dozens of miles.

If they had changed direction, they would have almost fought their way back to the capital.

When they returned to the Meteorite Dragon Crater, everyone saw the red dragon carrying King Zheng back in its mouth, but there was no sign of Bai Minglang, so they immediately had some guesses.

"Ah Xuan, that person?"

Chief Steward Shang sent a message to ask.

"He ran away."

After hearing this answer, everyone felt a little disappointed, but they didn't take it too seriously.

Taking down King Zheng is more important than anything else.

Li Xuan was also very clear about this.

He immediately used the gentle power of Yin and Yang Qi to awaken Emperor Yongyuan.

Emperor Yongyuan, who was the key to the implementation of the Dragon Transformation Formation, was almost at the end of his rope.

Realizing the condition of Emperor Yongyuan, Li Xuan couldn't help but frown.

In order to maintain the Dragon Transformation Formation, Emperor Yongyuan consumed no less energy than he did.

The bloodline of Emperor Yongyuan is the key to maintaining the Dragon Transformation Battle Formation. The act of using the will of Heaven to strengthen the Yuan force of heaven and earth has also placed a great burden on Emperor Yongyuan.

"Yin-Yang Qi can rekindle vitality. Even Wang Xi and others can be rejuvenated. Emperor Yongyuan can definitely do it too."

Li Xuan said in his heart.

The relationship between Princess Ankang and Emperor Yongyuan had just eased a little, and they looked a bit like father and daughter. Li Xuan didn't want Princess Ankang to lose her father so soon.

Although Emperor Yongyuan did not fulfill his fatherly duties in the past few years, his life at least gave Princess Ankang something to think about.

After all, Emperor Yongyuan was Princess Ankang's only living relative.

Emperor Yongyuan's lifeless eyes slowly began to refocus.

"Your Majesty, what will the King of Zheng do?"

For the first time, Li Xuan sincerely called Emperor Yongyuan "Your Majesty".

Emperor Yongyuan's performance tonight made Li Xuan recognize that he is a qualified emperor.

Li Xuan's words made Emperor Yongyuan cheer up.

He raised his head and saw King Zheng whose chest and abdomen were pierced by dragon teeth.

Even though Prince Zheng no longer looked like a human, with black dragon scales covering his body and deformed horns growing on his head, Emperor Yongyuan still recognized his uncle.

"Uncle, can you tell the truth now?"

Emperor Yongyuan was in tune with Li Xuan at this time, and he asked the red dragon to open its mouth, allowing King Zheng to fall off the dragon's fangs and then hold him firmly with the dragon's claws.

"For goodness sake, I didn't lose to you."

"But I lost to this unfair fate."

"Hahaha……"

King Zheng laughed, without any sense of being a loser.

A cold light flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, and the red dragon began to slowly clench its claws. Blood suddenly burst out from King Zheng's body.

But even though he was enduring the excruciating pain of being shattered to pieces, King Zheng continued to laugh.

"You think you won?"

"Even with the help of the Destined One, you cannot escape this fate."

"You are just the next me!"

"Hahaha!"

King Zheng laughed wildly but silently shed tears of blood.

Not sure if it was Li Xuan's illusion, but he suddenly felt that King Zheng's laughter became wanton and arrogant, and he looked younger. He was no longer the shrewd and powerful prince.

"Kill him."

"Even without him, we can repair the ancient formation below and seal the evil dragon energy again."

"But if he is still alive, he is still a threat. Maybe he and the evil dragon have some tricks up their sleeves."

Li Xuan communicated secretly with Emperor Yongyuan through his thoughts.

"That's all."

Although Emperor Yongyuan still had many confusions in his heart, he also knew that keeping Prince Zheng would ultimately be a threat.

Emperor Yongyuan really wanted to know why Prince Zheng did not ascend the throne directly but instead helped him to take the throne.

I also want to know what this evil dragon energy and ancient formation are all about.

He had many questions in his mind, but King Zheng didn't seem to want to answer them.

Just as Li Xuan was about to let the Red Dragon crush King Zheng, King Zheng suddenly spoke in a low voice:

"Weishan, do you know how your father, my dear brother, died?"

"You killed him!"

Emperor Yongyuan spoke out the answer that he had kept in his heart for many years.

"Yes, it's me."

King Zheng did not hide anything, nor did he feel the slightest bit of shame, and was even a little complacent.

Emperor Yongyuan now didn't even have the strength to clench his fists and could only glare at Prince Zheng.

Even though he was born into a royal family and was once an unfavored prince, Emperor Yongyuan still felt angry.

The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!

"You and the emperor are from the same mother. He trusts you so much and dotes on you, his younger brother."

"Even when I was a prince, I knew very well why you were the only uncle still alive."

"But you chose to betray him!"

This is a question that Emperor Yongyuan has been pondering for many years but has not been able to find the answer to.

The emperor doted on his younger brother, Prince Zheng, so much that everyone in the court knew it, and these princes were also very respectful to Prince Zheng.

In the face of the throne, Prince Zheng chose to betray his family, which Emperor Yongyuan could understand.

But Emperor Yongyuan could not understand why Prince Zheng's betrayal was so incomplete.

Prince Zheng even killed his own brother who was the emperor, so why didn’t he ascend the throne directly?

The outstanding brothers of Emperor Yongyuan were killed one after another by Prince Zheng. Just when he was in a panic and thought it was his turn, Prince Zheng helped him ascend the throne.

Emperor Yongyuan has been thinking about this question since he ascended the throne, but he has not been able to come up with any reasonable answer so far.

Facing the accusations from Emperor Yongyuan, Prince Zheng could not help but smile bitterly, full of self-mockery.

"Yes, I betrayed my brother."

After hearing this, Emperor Yongyuan no longer wanted to listen.

He bypassed Li Xuan and drove the red dragon directly.

The dragon claws began to exert force, and King Zheng's body made a teeth-grinding sound of bones breaking.

King Zheng was in such severe pain, but his face remained expressionless, as if he was lost in some memories.

"Weishan, this place was discovered by your father, and he was also the one who destroyed the ancient formation."
