Chapter 801: Deception.
Allure had directly challenged the dignity of the Red Dragon when she called out if he was worthy of fighting her. Dragons were innately arrogant creature. Perhaps, only heavens knew why this particular species, no matter if they were at the bottom level, for example an even a earth dragon, a beast lord level spirit beast would be very arrogant too.
Imagine the level of the Red Dragon. As soon as Allure questioned, the Red Dragon made his move without hesitation. His speed was quick and as he clawed at Allure. The surrounding Legendary Beasts did not say anything because they did not have the guts to go against the dragon clan.
However, Allure suddenly vanished from her spot and an eerie chuckle echoed in the void. The people gathered here were all supreme legendary beasts, but the laughter sent chills down their spines.
They all tried to look for Allure but they found no trace of her. Red Dragon sneered, "Petty tricks."
"Is that so, red worm? How about this then? Flame shots."
Out of nowhere blue flame balls began to condense and shoot at the man called Red Dragon. He waved his hand to create a spiritual energy shield but the flame ball passed through it as if a hot knife going through butter.
Red Dragon was stunned and when the flame ball made contact with his chest, he realized the horror of it. He wailed from the pain. It was akin to his soul being roasted alive. The people were stunned and they found that Allure appeared in her old position. It was as if she has never left the position.
...
Shi Lang took advantage of the chaos and rushed inside the cave. In the past one month his face had grown hair, and he had a thick stubble of hair. Thinking about the dire situation, he came up with a plan. Just when he was about to execute his plan to evacuate the place, Yama's spirit phantom appeared in the void.
The old man said, "I can finally rest in peace."
Shi Lang was surprised but then a stream of light hit Shi Lang's forehead. The Terran sensed his mind flooded with a lot of information and comprehensions of Alchemy. Yama had passed on his complete knowledge to Shi Lang.
The Terran bowed to him and said, "You have my gratitude for this, Senior."
Yama shook his head and replied, "No, you earned this. I hope you do well. My presence will vanish now."
Shi Lang thought of something and said, "Senior, can I ask you for one last favor?"
Yama was confused, but then Shi Lang told him a plan that surprised him. However, he still agreed. Even if he was a remnant soul the chance to go on one last adventure to get back at the conceited legendary beasts was not something he was going to miss.
After getting Yama's agreement, Shi Lang focused his spiritual sense and communicated with Allure. He needed her to be on board as well. Otherwise, the plan would fail. He could not afford for it to fall, at least not at this point.
Allure was fighting Red Dragon when she heard this and after some thoughts she agreed.
...
Suddenly, she pretended to have been injured, the acting was very natural because she allowed Red Dragon to hit her and she was cut. At this moment, she looked at the barrier, and yelled, "What the fuck do you think you are doing slave?"
Everyone turned to look at Shi Lang who stood amidst the crowd of spirit beast emperors, and his body was circulating with an abnormal amount of energy. All the legendary beasts frowned and Shi Lang said, "Elder Allure, I am thankful for the things you have done for me. However, I cannot let you suffer for my sake. If these people wish to capture me then so be it. Please go back."
Red Dragon heard this and burst into laughter. He said, "I cannot believe that someone would want to give in to be a slave while someone is trying to save him. Hahahaha, do you know the fate of the slaves?"
Shi Lang raised his head to look at the Red Dragon and said, "Do you know the problem you people suffer?"
Red Dragon and the rest of the superior Legendary Beasts frowned and Shi Lang continued, "You people suffer from a mental disorder that makes you all think that you are superior to the rest of us.
However, you forget that you are just a bunch of undying ancient animals who have gained a significant strength but still you live in fear and do not use your strength, because heavens will come after you. Is that not correct? Tch, glorified reptiles."
These words shocked the people but it enraged Red Dragon, who roared, "Insolent Insect! Die."
He clenched his fist and attacked Shi Lang. Red Dragon's fist intent materialized into a dragon condensed of hot lava as it rushed forward. In his eyes, Shi Lang was standing frozen in fear, and the Beast Emperors were turning into ashes from the heat. When the dragon got close to Shi Lang he had already melted into a puddle of blood which then vaporized.
The attack caused a huge crater to appear on the ground. Red Dragon snorted and turned to look at Allure, who was glaring at him and said, "Learn to walk with your head down, rodent. Or I will come for you."
Allure clenched her fist and her face turned red but she did not say anything after that. Red Dragon turned around to leave the place without giving anyone a chance to react again.
Allure waited for him to leave and only when his spirit sense vanished did she leave the place and landed at the crater.
Her face was an epitome of sadness. She picked up a fistful of sand from the ground before leaving the place. After she vanished, Red Dragon appeared in the region and ran his gaze over the entire place. He was searching the region because he did have a doubt about the result.
In his mind, even if the fist was shot to express the rage but it was not so overpoweringly strong to erase so many spirit beasts. Even their ashes did not exist in the place. However, when he thought about it, it was possible that they also vaporized along with that human. Red Dragon was famous for his prowess of heat.
He smirked and left the place. In his eyes, Shi Lang was just an insignificant human he had killed, but what he did not know was that he just made a really petty enemy.
After he left, Allure appeared in her position. She used an innate skill to erase her presence, and waited for Red Dragon to come over and check. She mumbled, "That kid was correct, he did come back to check."
Then she scoffed and vanished from her spot.
…
Allure appeared in the eastern barren next to the inheritance palace. She looked around and found a horde of Spirit Beast Emperors gathered in a clearing. She approached over and the grunting and growling beasts fell silent.
Shi Lang walked up from the side with a big grin on his face. She could see through his facade. His anger was almost materializing around his body. She asked, "Glad it worked."
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I do not care about it. I will visit that place when I am stronger. Then I would like to see him act so arrogant."
Allure nodded, she was well aware of the concept of enduring till you are sure of killing the person. Only the strong can change the situation.
She asked, "What will you do about these guys?"
Shi Lang cast a gaze at the Beast Emperors and said, "They can do what they want. I do not have the resources to keep them with me. It was just an act of kindness that I saved their lives. They do not trust me. So, I have nothing to say."
Allure said, "You can use them. Bring them to the front to fight the demonic beasts. There are two hundred seventy beast emperors before you. What sort of a general would let go of such an army?"
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Who would keep them in line? They do not respect humans. Also, I do not have the time to look after them. After going back I have to locate the herbs needed for a soul recreation pill. I do not have much time left before the soul inside this tattoo can be used. Once it goes dormant, no one knows when it will wake up."
Allure sighed and said, "You are correct, since things are like this, how about I guide them to the battlefield and deal with them?"
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Knock yourself out."
That said, Shi Lang took a look at the Inheritance palace and said, "I am leaving. I need to tell them that I am back."
