Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 353 Three swords shatter brotherhood, please call me Dragon King

The moment the jagged dragon tail burst forth from the water, time seemed to freeze.

Caesar stood at the bow of the ship, holding a hunting knife, his eyes wide open. This was the first time he had ever seen a real, living pure-blooded dragon. Its tail, covered with bronze scales, gleamed coldly under the searchlight. Each scale was the size of a washbasin, with edges as sharp as knives.

Before the tail of the ship, which had stirred up tens of tons of river water, had even landed, the resulting wind pressure was already causing eardrums to ache for everyone on the deck of the research vessel.

This kind of attack, which is like a small building falling from the sky, is something that ordinary mortals like them cannot withstand. It could even break the research ship beneath their feet in one blow.

He reached for the gun lying beside him, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man from the Tang family suddenly stepping forward, chanting dragon script loudly, and leaping into the air with a heavy stomp on the ship's side. Lava-like patterns appeared under his skin, and intense flames wrapped around his arms.

"Drink--!!!"

With a roar, the middle-aged man pushed his hands out, and flames erupted from his body, forming a crimson barrier resembling a fire lotus at the bow of the ship. It was a defensive incantation that was quite rare among the lineage of the King of Bronze and Fire.

If Junyan ignites the fire elements in the surrounding environment to trigger a powerful explosion, then this is the ultimate protection that reverses the destructive power of fire. Within the Tang family, it is called the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus!
"boom--!!!"

The explosion of the dragon's tail colliding with the fire barrier shattered the waves within a radius of tens of meters. The high temperature evaporated the spray into white vapor, and the remainder turned into a torrential downpour of raindrops.

In the blazing white light, everyone saw the middle-aged man's upper body clothing instantly carbonize, revealing his muscular physique below.

The barrier shattered in less than two seconds, but the residual force still sent him flying backward, crashing like a cannonball into the churning waves a hundred meters away.

"Fire!" Professor Mans's roar tore through the night. The students of Kassel College grabbed their weapons and fired wildly at the huge dragon tail that had lost momentum due to the explosion.

More than a dozen tongues of fire instantly lit up the deck. The mercury core blunt gold armor-piercing bullets developed by the equipment department for slaying dragons exploded into clusters of blue flames on the dragon scales. A furious roar came from underwater. However, the actual effect was not ideal. Blood seeped out as the dragon scales shattered, but it did not create a deep pit of flesh and blood that could expose the bone as expected.

The Tang and Zhou families sent a total of four people to accompany the ship, while the rest were assigned to other patrol boats. Jiang Liushui could not arrive immediately, but they were all key members of their families, and their incantations were powerful and explosive.

Just as they were aiming at the sparking, poisonous tail of the dragon, preparing to unleash a miracle, the roar from underwater fell silent. The blood-soaked dragon tail before them sank into the river and disappeared instantly. Their carefully prepared incantations missed their mark, causing the already turbulent river to surge even more violently.

The research vessel rocked violently in the river, but the dragon was nowhere to be seen, leaving only a gradually disappearing whirlpool.

Caesar held a Barrett sniper rifle, his long golden hair wet and sticking to his face, his icy blue eyes filled with murderous intent. He unleashed the full power of the Word of Power: Kamaitachi, monitoring every movement on the river.

In the forward control room, Professor Mans gripped the console to steady himself, his iron-gray eyes fixed on the sonar screen as he watched the dot of light representing the Dragon King navigate underwater, circling around to the stern, ready to unleash the second wave of attack.

"Left full rudder!"

The first mate frantically spun the wheel, and the hundreds-of-tons-weight research vessel drew a daring arc on the river, splashing up giant ripples several meters high, barely avoiding the menacing dragon tail that darted out from the stern.

Even so, the bronze-colored, blood-soaked dragon tail grazed the hull and still managed to carve a three-meter-long gash in the steel plate, allowing the splashing river water to rush in.

"Drop the bombs!" Professor Mans roared again. The second mate immediately pressed the red button marked with danger. The bottom of the research ship, which had been urgently modified, cracked open instantly, releasing several bombs left over from the failed Wushan operation.

The first mate gritted his teeth and pushed the accelerator to its maximum, and the research vessel sped off, heading into the distance.

"Rumble, rumble—"

The moment the research vessel departed, the river surface suddenly bulged, and several giant columns of water shot into the sky, blooming into pale, deathly waves high above.

The shockwave from the explosion caused the research vessel to shake violently, and all the unsecured equipment was smashed to pieces. The Tang family member fell into the water and had not yet come out, and the rest of the crew were almost thrown into the river.

"Did you take it down?" Caesar stood firmly with his legs apart, his waist and legs rising and falling with the movement of the boat, his gun aimed at the turbulent river surface.

“No, the Dragon King can’t be killed by ordinary bombs.” Professor Mans’s voice was somewhat solemn. The sonar scanning equipment had been damaged and malfunctioned in the explosion, and he had lost his means of monitoring the Dragon King.

"Are you sure that was the Dragon King?" Caesar frowned. The shadow underwater just now seemed huge, but it was actually no more than twenty meters long, at most fifteen or sixteen meters.

Although he had never seen a real Dragon King, he had seen a dragon-shaped corpse guard in the Sea of ​​Japan that used Life Return to restore the original form of a dragon. Those monsters that had been dead for a long time were much larger than the one below.

Professor Mans also had his own interpretation of this: "Norton was awakened, and although it is unknown why his slumber was interrupted, he has not yet fully hatched into a perfect dragon body."

The Zhou family representative next to him joined the communication channel: "Have you managed to contact Lu Mingfei?"

Despite coming from a family with a long history of dragon slaying, they had never seen a real dragon king and could not determine what was hidden at the bottom of the river. However, they were certain that the size of the creature was that of a third-generation species or even a malnourished second-generation species.

There was another thing they were very clear about: they were no match for the pure-blooded dragon on the Yangtze River, and they had to go to Fengjie to ask Ancestor Mingfei for help!

“There’s a signal problem, we can’t get in touch,” Professor Mans’s voice remained steady. “But Schneider has sensed something’s wrong and will definitely contact Lu Mingfei. He’ll be here very quickly!”

After saying this, he ordered his first mate to increase the horsepower and lead the Dragon King towards the reservoir.

There are no civilians gathered there, only military and police stationed there. If necessary, they can use others to kill the dragon, but the aftermath will be quite troublesome.

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya embraced and rolled around on the deck. After finally regaining their balance and standing up, they saw the river water boiling behind them, with a raised white line following closely behind, clearly His Majesty Norton.

Ye Sheng's body had not yet recovered from exhaustion. He was held in the arms of Jiu Deyaji and wondered why the boss had not come out to save the day. Could it be that he really was using them as bait and would only show up to rescue them after they were swallowed by the dragon?

However, he was unaware that he and his companions had only just brushed past Lu Mingfei.

As the research vessel sped past, Lu Mingfei made no attempt to greet it. He held Old Tang down with one hand and cast a powerful healing spell on the middle-aged man from the Tang family who had been dragged ashore by steel pipes after falling into the water and fainting. Then, his eyes suddenly lit up, turning into a rich golden color.

Old Tang, who was still in the process of switching accounts with each other, sensed a strange yet familiar and extremely terrifying pressure coming towards him. Long Ge, who was pulling hair and slapping his head, suddenly stopped and looked up in tacit agreement with the other person who was pulling hair and slapping his head.

What came into view was a pair of pale golden eyes, with strange patterns shimmering within them, spinning like a kaleidoscope.

Norton Longor, who had already gained most of control over the body, was startled upon seeing this, and was instantly wrested back into control by Old Tang.

"Mingming, I..." Old Tang didn't even have time to catch his breath. He knew he couldn't beat the Dragon King who had seen the world change and the stars shift. The bonds he had built up over this period of time were ultimately no match for him. He was about to be crushed into dust by the other party's vast memories and become an insignificant part of it. He wanted to say goodbye to Lu Mingfei.

However, the moment he met Lu Mingfei's golden eyes, his own crimson-gold eyes also displayed intricate and swirling kaleidoscope patterns. Immediately afterward, his soul seemed to be swept into a washing machine, and his surroundings quickly changed, returning him to the antique shop in Chinatown where he had lived with his adoptive father since his youth.

Seeing the thin, white-haired old man standing beside the broken antique vase with a feather duster, scanning him up and down as if trying to figure out where to start, Old Tang didn't even have time to think about why his adoptive father, who had passed away many years ago, was here or why he looked like he was about to hit him. His heart was instantly overwhelmed, and he couldn't help but rush over with tears in his eyes.

"Dad!"

Word of Power: Dream Eater!
Lu Mingfei was well aware from the beginning that Old Tang could not defeat Norton, and Ronald Tang's personality would be ruthlessly crushed. But how could he let his brother become a thing of the past? As early as when he left Japan, he came up with a solution that only he could do at the moment, and consulted the elusive Ou Doudou, who praised his imaginative yet effective approach.

Caught off guard, Norton's account, which had been kicked offline, logged back into this ownerless body, once again meeting those pale golden eyes.

This time, however, the kaleidoscope-like patterns no longer swirled within those pupils; only a bone-chilling cold remained.

Norton, who had just awakened from chaos, was unable to absorb Ronald Don, and naturally could not obtain his memories from his time as a human.

He didn't know who the boy in front of him was, but there was a terrifying yet strangely familiar aura about him, like that aura of despair that made him shudder every time he recalled it.

"You are..." He looked wary, his eyes gleaming with golden light, his body transforming into a dragon at a visible speed, and his drooping hands trying to grab Lu Mingfei's arm to break free from his grasp.

However, Lu Mingfei was faster. After confirming that Old Tang had been dragged into the carefully designed dream realm, the Ama-no-Murakumo sword tucked into his waist immediately pierced Norton's chest.

The dragon's body, covered in bronze-colored bone armor, was easily pierced by the Kusanagi Sword. Norton, who had just taken control of his body and was preparing to get away from the person in front of him, suddenly widened his eyes and almost couldn't hold his breath, which then came out in a flash.

"cough!"

Norton's eyes widened, blood seeping from the corner of his lips. He could sense his own presence and that of his former dragon servant, and knew that this was very likely the White Emperor City, the location of his former palace, the Bronze City, where weapons capable of injuring or even killing him were hidden.

The blade piercing his chest now seemed to conceal a strange power capable of killing the Dragon King.

Could it be... that Constantine and Samson have already...?

Anger swelled within him. Norton raised his hand and grabbed Lu Mingfei's sword-wielding hand, his gaze slowly lowering as he tried to discern whether it was arrogance or rage that had pierced his chest.

Even if it were a dragon-slaying weapon forged by a rising star of the human race in imitation of the Seven Deadly Sins, he could accept it.

However, what came into view was a sharp bone sword as flawless as a white jade.

What is that halberd handle?!
Norton was filled with disbelief. He couldn't see a trace of alchemical creation on the Kusanagi Sword; it was completely natural and unadulterated. He found it utterly absurd.

He gripped Lu Mingfei's hand tightly, slowly raised his head, and said, word by word, "This sword, what..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Mingfei had already drawn his sword. The blood of the Dragon King was indeed extraordinary; even the Kusanagi Sword, which was immune to blood, was now stained with it.

Norton finally couldn't hold back any longer and coughed up blood, but he still stared intently at Lu Mingfei, his body bursting into flames, his free right hand clenched into a fist and transformed into lava from a volcanic eruption, ready to smash him away.

However, just as his fists were about to strike Lu Mingfei's face like arrows, the Ama-no-Murakumo once again powerfully entered him.

This time, the position changed, but it still pierced through the pulsating heart of the Dragon King, and the sword was imbued with a power called Judgment.

"Pfft!" Suffering severe internal injuries, the power of judgment rampaged through his flesh and blood, almost completely shattering the internal organs on the left side. Norton coughed up blood again, his body swaying precariously, but he still couldn't break free from Lu Mingfei's hand on his shoulder.

"Swoosh!" The Kusanagi sword was drawn again. Lu Mingfei looked at the familiar face, but the eight-character eyebrows and silly eyes were no longer the same. He expressionlessly thrust the white jade bone sword out again.

This time, his entire lung, including the organs on the right side, was completely shattered. The extremely precious dragon blood gushed out recklessly, but just before it hit Lu Mingfei, it was guided by an invisible force into the air beside him, gradually gathering into a blood sphere that emitted a faint golden light.

"You, you are... the White King?!"

Feeling the white jade bone sword moving in and out of his body, and the extremely high-ranking spirit raging within him, Norton finally realized who was standing in front of him.

Although he was born late, the White King was a pioneer who launched a magnificent rebellion against his father, so how could he not have heard of him?

It is precisely because of this that their siblings born after them become incomplete individuals, and they must devour each other to complete themselves.

"You deserve to die!"

Norton stared intently at the expressionless Lu Mingfei, hissing and growling, as he forcefully pried open Lu Mingfei's hands, which were resting on his shoulders and holding a sword.

However, due to the massive loss of dragon blood and continuous internal injuries, Norton's dragon transformation could no longer continue. Even the flames that had been burning and covering most of his body were forced to extinguish, revealing a pale, ashen face.

But he was, after all, the Dragon King, and even in this perilous situation, he did not reveal any flaws.

Until Lu Mingfei uttered the words: "The White King is dead."

"You're talking nonsense!" Norton didn't believe it. As the saying goes, even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run, right? This guy in front of him smelled strongly of White King Pork, how could he not recognize it?!
Lu Mingfei chuckled: "The one I killed was the same as Constantine."

"what?!"

After being attacked one after another, Norton, who was already confused and unclear about the current situation after waking up, finally became somewhat disoriented and revealed a flaw after hearing this soul-searching sentence.

Lu Mingfei seized the opportunity. This time, instead of drawing the Kusanagi sword, he released Norton's shoulder, grabbed the back of Norton's head, and forced him to look into his eyes. His left eye was still displaying a kaleidoscope pattern, while his right eye was a rich platinum color.

Words of power, the Saha world!

One of the supreme powers of the White King!

It is not inferior to the "oracle" that claims to be able to rival the Black King!
"Liar, and you still say you're not the White King?!" Norton realized he had been tricked and roared. His volatile golden eyes gradually became empty. Clearly, having suffered repeated blows, his mental will was no match for Lu Mingfei, and he was dragged into the indistinguishable world of reality and illusion.

The moment the containment was successful, the kaleidoscope in Lu Mingfei's left eye stopped spinning and turned into the same platinum color as his right eye.

"It's you I've chosen! Go, Old Tang Beast!"

Suddenly, Old Tang, who had escaped from his father's beloved feather duster, found that the scene had refreshed again, and the familiar StarCraft game screen appeared in front of him.

Within the fog-shrouded map, a ferocious bronze dragon roars across the heavens and earth. Within a radius of several miles, the earth cracks, volcanoes erupt, and countless streams of scorching lava spew from the craters. Fiery pillars tens of meters high rise from the cracks in the ground, and terrifying shockwaves of flame completely incinerate the surrounding buildings.

Old Tang stared in utter astonishment at the bronze dragon that was frantically destroying his base's buildings, when suddenly Lu Mingfei's voice echoed in his ears:

"This is the battlefield I've prepared for you. Defeat him, and I'll fully support you in becoming the next King of Bronze and Fire!"

Old Tang: !∑(°Д°ノ)ノ

Oh shit, there’s a cheat!
