Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 372 The King of Civil Engineering

Goodbye, Mom, I'm setting sail tonight. Don't worry about me, I have oars of joy and wisdom!

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh—Junior brother, stop singing! It's thundering up there! We're going to crash into it!!!"

On a stormy day with dark clouds looming over the city, a ten-meter-long cruise ship shuttles through the inky black sky.

This was a super thunderstorm; the dark clouds hung extremely low, as if you could reach out and touch them.

The torrential rain poured down, splashing countless water droplets on the river surface. The howling wind whipped up giant waves several meters high, reducing visibility to less than ten meters. It seemed as if the whole world could be swallowed up by the storm at any moment.

Fingel stared ahead in terror. The pitch-black clouds were like boiling ink, with countless lightning bolts flashing through them, each flash turning the sky and earth a ghastly white. In such a breathtaking sight, he wished he could kneel down and grab Lu Mingfei's legs, begging him to stop flying.

Hearing thunder this morning, he thought that with such terrible weather, he wouldn't be able to leave on time and planned to stay in bed until the weather cleared up. But as soon as he got back to his room, Old Tang kicked the door open and dragged him out of bed like a chick.

At first, he thought it was just that Lao Tang was bored and wanted to play games with him, until Lao Tang grabbed his luggage, kicked open the window, and jumped into the rain with him in his arms. Only then did he realize that something was wrong.

When the rain poured down on his face, he cried out, "Let me down! I want to go home!", only to find that the rainy scenery in front of him suddenly changed, and he found himself inside a cruise ship.

The cruise ship, shrouded in the realm of the Netherworld, hovered in the air. It was already full of people, except for him, who was the one dawdling the most.

After that, Old Tang put him on the ground and, without waiting for him to stand up, shouted loudly, "Everyone's here, let's get ready to go."

Then, Lu Mingfei, who was at the helm, waved his hand and shouted "All troops, attack!" The entire ship started moving from a standstill and rushed into the thick fog at a speed comparable to that of a supercar.

Everyone present was prepared, but he was completely unaware. If he hadn't grabbed Caesar with lightning speed, he probably would have been slammed against the wall by the sudden acceleration.

Because Lu Mingfei's ship was going too fast, before he could even get off Caesar, the cruise ship was about to plunge into the thunderstorm.

Lightning flashed all around, and deafening thunder seemed to explode right next to our ears. A bolt of lightning struck the water below, sending up a water column several meters high.

Fingel, like a husky with its fur standing on end, clung tightly to Caesar, shouting in panic:

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Junior brother, stop singing! Lightning is coming! Get out of the way!!!"

Although they knew Lu Mingfei wouldn't take them to their deaths, the scene was still truly horrifying. Even the well-traveled Caesar turned a deep shade of purple, deeply regretting that he had agreed too hastily and boarded a ship heading to heaven instead of Yichang.

Now that people are already in the sky, if they want to get off the ship, the only ways to die are either falling to their deaths or being struck by lightning before landing.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei simply laughed loudly: "What a joke! Me, avoiding its sharp edge?!"

He stomped his foot heavily, and the entire ship groaned under the strain. Its speed suddenly increased, and it rushed straight toward the area where the thunderstorm was most intense.

Lightning exploded all around, the closest being less than ten meters from the ship, the blinding white light forcing everyone to close their eyes.

Thunder roared, and the might of the heavens shook down. Constantine nervously grabbed his brother's arm.

Even the Dragon King was terrified by the sheer power of the heavens, fearing that Lu Mingfei might have gone too far. He was sure he would be alright, but he hoped that Lu Mingfei wouldn't implicate the innocent dragons.

He hoped his brother would speak up and dissuade him, but Old Tang had one arm around Ryoma Kaoru and the other on his shoulder, his eyes full of expectation, showing no intention of dissuading him at all.

As for Jormungandr, she probably has a way to avoid lightning, but now she's concerned about her male concubine who's afraid of heights?!

Do you even deserve to be called the smartest dragon king?!
It's simply—lust blinds one's mind!
Constantine was inwardly churning with rage, yet he also felt a chill that sent shivers down his spine. Looking up, he saw Erii, who was tightly gripping Lu Mingfei to steady herself, suddenly light up her crimson eyes, as if the blood moon had turned into a blazing sun. Her slender hand, intertwined with Lu Mingfei's, was raised and pointed towards the thunderclouds ahead.

She spoke, her voice soft, yet it pierced through the deafening thunder:

"Judgment."

In an instant, the wind and rain changed drastically!

The torrential rain suddenly froze, then began to rotate around the cruise ship, forming a giant waterspout tens of meters in diameter.

The waterspout grew faster and faster, eventually transforming into a drill capable of piercing the sky, roaring as it chiseled towards the thunderclouds with terrifying force.

The world seemed to freeze the moment the thundercloud came into contact with the power of judgment.

"boom--!!!"

The deafening roar drowned out the thunder, and the thunderclouds, which felt like being in a pool of lightning, shattered. The lightning snakes that flickered and roamed freely within them also dissipated in an instant, and a huge gap with a diameter of 100 meters was forcibly torn open in the dark thunderclouds.

The ship trembled violently, and Xia Mi suddenly pressed herself against Chu Zihang, as if she had lost her strength due to the sudden fright, or as if she had lost her balance due to the huge tremor just now, and thus crashed into his arms.

Chu Zihang subconsciously opened his arms to catch her, his nose filled with the girl's delicate fragrance, but he didn't notice that her eyes, which were covered by her black hair and pressed against his shoulder, had quietly turned golden, and she was giving orders to the world in a voice that was completely imperceptible to the human ear.

Word of Power: The Crystal City!
Outside the Netherworld Realm, a barrier resembling dazzling glass instantly appeared.

Countless lightning bolts struggled and flickered at the edge of the gap, but could not break through the barrier of the dustless land superimposed on the light of the underworld.

Sunlight poured down through the gap, casting golden spots on the river's surface and illuminating the fleeting spherical glass screen.

The cruise ship, which was shrouded in the Glazed Brahma City and the Netherworld Realm, rushed into the thunderclouds in the blink of an eye, leaving only the slowly healing crack in the sky still writhing.

Below, the people in Kassel, who were unable to continue their work in the river due to the thunderstorm, were startled by the earthquake and looked up at the sky.

But then, in the dark clouds, a perfectly circular gap was clearly visible, through which sunlight poured down, like a miracle.

"Holy crap, what the hell is this?!"

Ye Sheng's mouth dropped open. He tugged at the arm of Aki Shuto beside him: "Aki, did you see that just now? It looked like something flew in with a 'whoosh'!"

Sakeya subconsciously popped a grape into his mouth before shaking her head and saying, "No, the lightning was too bright just now, I was seeing things."

Ye Sheng then looked at Professor Mans, who was still in shock, to see his reaction, only to find that he also had a solemn expression, clearly indicating that he had also noticed something was wrong.

"Professor, what was that just now?" Intern Selma rubbed her eyes, which had been blinded by the bright light, tears streaming down her face, but she still managed to ask the question.

Professor Mans shook his head, indicating that he hadn't seen it clearly either, but he was certain that the thing had nothing to do with dragons; it was a reflective sphere.

Could it be that besides dragons, aliens have also descended upon this world?!

Earth already suffers so much, why don't we go and wreak havoc on other planets?!
Before they could finish their shock, the cries of a baby and the helpless sighs of a woman echoed from upstairs.

At the same time, the heads of the Tang and Zhou families, as well as the newly arrived head of the Bai family, were meeting and negotiating when they heard the sound of something shaking the heavens. They looked up and felt as if a great terror was sweeping across the sky.

Nuwa was so frightened that she revealed her true form, but thankfully she never actually had a human appearance. With a solemn expression, she spoke:
"Is this... another dragon king being born?"

"It doesn't look like it." The Bai family head shook his head, watching as she picked up the Dragon-Slaying Platform and raised her hand as if to press it down.
"The King of Bronze and Fire has just fallen. Even if a new Dragon Lord were to pass by, he wouldn't dare to cause such a commotion. In my opinion, it's probably caused by that descendant of the Lu family."

"Lu Mingfei?" Nuwa watched as the gap in the dark clouds gradually healed, then looked down at the Dragon-Slaying Platform, which had recovered from its secluded state, and pondered that if it really was Lu Mingfei, it didn't seem so strange.

After all, when he took the Dragon-Slaying Platform back last night, he actually said that he could freely choose whether to pay the price in the future, and even if he couldn't answer the questions of the Dragon-Slaying Platform, he didn't have to worry about his soul being imprisoned.

The only thing to be careful about is that it cannot be used too frequently, otherwise the Dragon Slayer Platform will soon lose its power because it is damaged and cannot be repaired. Of course, if they are willing to sacrifice a few fallen hybrids, the Dragon Slayer Platform is not picky.

To verify this, after a night of internal struggle, Nuwa pulled out the Dragon-Slaying Platform in the dead of night and returned to the place that had imprisoned her for two days and two nights, where she chatted with the spirits inside.

The other party still remembered her, saying that after so many years she was still so young, and that she had found a jinx from somewhere, who had almost been beaten to death by a jinx surnamed Lu.

The fact that the Dragon Slayer Platform has been pushed to this point is no longer a matter of bloodline strength.

Nuwa even suspected that Lu Mingfei had awakened the bloodline of his ancestors just like her, only he was much stronger, which was why he was able to beat the arrogant Duanlongtai into a pulp.

Caught between the two mixed-race giants, the Tang family patriarch dared not interrupt and could only look up at the sky, pondering whether the Eastern Mixed-Race Alliance could succeed.

……

"That works, doesn't it?!"

Above the sky, sunlight streamed down, and the cruise ship looked down at the surging dark clouds, no longer bothered by wind, rain, or lightning.

Lu Mingfei held Erii's hand, smiling as he looked out the window at the warm sunlight, which was damn dazzling.

The reactions of the people on the ship varied. Caesar and Fingel were speechless at the antics of this bizarre couple. The lightning hadn't even numbed them; instead, they were stunned by the couple's antics.

Damn it, you lured the dog in here, didn't you?

"How long are you going to keep hugging me?" Caesar glanced at Fingel, who was practically ready to transform himself into Mr. Fantastic and tie himself to him.

"Hehe, sorry, sorry, I lost my composure." Fingel laughed as he untied himself from Caesar, scratched his head, and hid to the side pretending to vomit.

They are all highly trained elites, so they are not prone to seasickness or airsickness.

However, there are exceptions.

Caesar looked at Chu Zihang. He had noticed it when they took off. This guy was afraid of heights. His expression was frighteningly cold, and his face was as pale as if it were covered with frost.

But when you look at him again, you find him sitting upright, showing no sign of unease about being 10,000 meters in the air.

Upon closer inspection, one can also notice that his eyes are slightly unfocused, as if he is savoring something.

Looking at Xia Mi, who was turning her head to look at the scenery, her fair fingers playing with her long hair, and her toes lightly rubbing the ground, he felt as if he understood something.

Tsk.

Chu Zihang seemed to be savoring the embrace from just now, but what he was actually thinking about was the glass barrier that had suddenly enveloped the cruise ship in the instant he had just seen.

Of those present, only Caesar and Xia Mi possess the power of the Sky and Wind King lineage, so Caesar can be ruled out immediately. Meanwhile, Lu Mingfei, who seems to be proficient in all elements, is busy working with Erii in her costume X. That leaves—

His eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Xia Mi, who was acting coy like a little girl, and he pondered to himself:

She knows so much.

Although all signs pointed to Xia Mi possibly being the Dragon King, there had been no concrete evidence until now. Having witnessed her use of the second kind of Word of Power, Chu Zihang's anxiety finally subsided.

But thankfully, she is probably neither the Queen of the Sky and the Wind, nor the Queen of the Ocean and the Water.

The former is his mortal enemy and a thorn in Lu Mingfei's side. Actively approaching them is like an old john changing his technician—he's tired of living.

The latter is a matter of pure incompatibility; the Fire King and the Water King are mortal enemies, so it's impossible for Old Tang and Constantine to have such a calm attitude towards Xia Mi.

Therefore, there is only one answer left: she is the queen of civil engineering.

This really fits the characteristics of China's infrastructure powerhouse.

Chu Zihang sighed inwardly, but then began to worry about what would happen after arriving in the capital.

After all, the Dragon King is a twin, and Xia Mi also mentioned that she has a brother with bipolar disorder.

If it were just an ordinary mixed-race person, Chu Zihang wouldn't be afraid. Even someone as strong as the Genji brothers could hold out for a while. But if it were the Earth and Mountain King, who was known for his strength, he might die a very ugly death.

After all, according to Xia Mi's description, her brother was very dependent on her, and even not showing up for a long time would make him angry.

If she leads him to her door and says, "From now on, I have to play with this brother and can't hold your skirt anymore," wouldn't he be all over the place?
As Chu Zihang was lost in thought, his gaze involuntarily drifted to the girl's perfectly curved, long legs, and then the next second he heard a "click" sound.

He suddenly looked up and saw Lu Mingfei casually shoving his phone into Erii's hand, and then seriously pulling her to the window, with their backs to the dark clouds and blue sky, preparing to take a group photo.

"..." Chu Zihang watched the two of them striking poses, even getting Lao Tang involved, and then glanced at Xia Mi, who had given up on pretending to be embarrassed and was sitting there watching the show with her chin propped up. He recalled the advice Lu Mingfei had given him last night, took out his phone, and after a moment's thought, said:

"Don't you want to take a picture to remember this moment?"

Xia Miko had taken many photos with them at the amusement park, but now that they were in the sky, which was even higher and more spectacular than the amusement park, they seemed to lose interest.

Xia Mi was secretly pleased to see this idiot taking the initiative, but she kept it to herself and simply turned to look at him with interest:
"Senior brother, would you like to take a photo with me?"

She pointed to Old Tang, who was imitating Lu Mingfei's heart gesture: "Like that."

Chu Zihang: "..."

"May I?" Fingel pretended to vomit and then leaned forward to try and disrupt the conversation.

This dog food is way too much for him, he's about to burst! We really need to control the amount we feed him!
"Damn!" Xia Mi crossed her arms, looking disgusted. "Senior Brother Finger, you should change your clothes first. Your chest hair is showing."

"That's called manly spirit, you wouldn't understand." Fingel snorted twice, picked up his luggage, and prepared to change his clothes; being half-wet was indeed uncomfortable.

Xia Mi was about to say something when she saw Chu Zihang leaning over with his phone, his expression as if he were about to head to the battlefield and taking a commemorative photo before leaving.

"think."
