Dragon Tamer

Chapter 151: Chapter 152: Strike Before It’s Too Late

Translator: 549690339

Truly worthy of the Imperial City.

It’s simply a game among the big powers and ruling classes.

This Runyu City, who knows how many generations of effort have gone into it, and how many battles it has endured.

But in the end, its ownership is just one of the prizes of this grand competition for power.

“Someone has taken the brocade box, it’s the city ownership deed!” said a woman in a martial robe, from among the two groups.

This woman, even more robust than a man, was clad in a short shirt, striking a stark contrast with Nan Lingsha’s slender waist, delicate arms like lotus roots, and a swan-like neck.

The body cultivation woman had arms like fine iron, her body as if forged in steel, her skin gleaming with a coppery luster. Even standing before Zhu Minglang, who was tall and handsome, she might make him seem somewhat delicate!

“People from the Wu Zong,” Zhu Minglang said to Nan Lingsha in a low voice.

“One of the Four Major Sect Clans?” Nan Lingsha asked.

“Yes, they focus on body cultivation, mainly practicing fists, palms, body, legs, qi… I once had a sparring with one of their senior disciples. Their Diamond Unbreakable Body is terrifying; ordinary sharp weapons can’t hurt them at all,” Zhu Minglang explained.

There are different factions within Wu Zong; judging by this woman’s frame, she should belong to the Body Cultivation Martial Sect.

The Body Cultivation Martial Sect is considered a monster among the God and Mortals of humanity; there was once a body cultivator who went toe-to-toe with a giant dragon, a truly breathtaking scene!

“This Runyu City deed can also be exchanged for some decent spiritual resources. We’ll take it,” Zhu Minglang said, looking at the body cultivation woman with a gentle smile.

“What are you smiling about? Dare you clash with your granny? I hate your kind of pretty boy the most, lacking any manliness. Right now, you’d better kneel on the ground and present the city ownership deed, or else granny will smash your teeth!” the body cultivation woman’s voice was, surprisingly, not much different from an ordinary woman’s.

Can’t she appreciate aesthetics? A man like me, where strength and handsomeness are perfectly combined, is rare in the world.

Zhu Minglang continued to smile, but his smile had become cold.

Wu Zong, huh?

A hard body, right?

Let’s see if you can withstand the freezing power of Bai Qi’s ice frost!

Bai Qi’s fur began to fly around, pure white like snow.

Countless ice crystals swirled around it, like a miniature white storm.

Within the storm of ice crystals, its body was transforming, and at the same time, the streets below began to freeze, with layers of frost covering them. Before long, the ground was entirely frozen.

The sturdy body cultivation woman let out a roar, leaping up and, like an ape, landed on one of the rock buildings.

Having dodged the swift frost freeze, she flipped down again, her body wrapped in a strange brown gas, making her fall like a heavy boulder, slamming right towards Bai Qi’s location!

Bai Qi didn’t budge; a stronger storm whipped up around it, forcing the Wu Zong female disciple to abandon her heavy rock crash and retreat behind the rock buildings.

Then, a fist fighter charged in!

Though his physique wasn’t as robust as the woman’s, one could see flames follow his fists as he swung them through the air.

He was very fast; the streets cracked under his swift advance, and when he took the final step and swung his fist at the Ice Morning White Dragon, one could feel a thunderous force burst from him and explode from his fist!

Little White still didn’t avoid the attack. With a casual flap of its wings, numerous ice crystals condensed in front of it, and a formidable ice mountain barrier formed to block the fist fighter’s path.

The fist fighter’s punch, which seemed capable of toppling mountains, only cracked the ice barrier erected by the Ice Morning White Dragon…

The fist fighter looked astonished, struggling to believe that his mighty power couldn’t even break through the opponent’s casual defense.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!”

Claws like flying blades suddenly spun out from behind the ice mountain barrier.

The fist fighting disciple hastily retreated, dodging left and right, but his body was still slashed, creating several fresh wounds.

Before the fist fighter could recover from his shock, the Ice Morning White Dragon turned into a sharp ray of light, striking with lightning speed.

Its speed was many times faster than his sprint, its fearsome claws likely even sharper than famed swords and precious blades!

“Junior brother!”

The body cultivation woman yelled, appearing in time to protect the younger man, her arms crossed in front of her and a brown energy swirling around her, forming an ancient bell to shield the fist fighter behind her.

However…

The body cultivation woman’s judgment was still off.

The Ice Morning White Dragon was so fast that its figure in their sight was nothing but an afterimage.

It was already behind the body cultivation woman, striking like a white ice arrow, inflicting heavy damage on the fist fighter!

The fist fighter stood there, disbelievingly looking at the gaping wound on his chest and shoulder. As he turned to look back at the Ice Morning White Dragon, blood spurted out like a fountain!

“Junior brother, junior brother!”

The body cultivation woman hurried to help him, her eyes angrily fixed on Zhu Minglang.

“Senior sister, we… we’re no match for him, he… he has shown mercy,” the fist fighting disciple coughed, bloodied.

Before the body cultivation woman could respond, she suddenly felt an intense chill at her back.

She turned her head to find that the Ice Morning White Dragon had silently positioned itself behind her, its cold, starry dragon eyes gazing at her at close range, paralyzing her with fear.

“We admit defeat,” the Body Cultivation woman finally lowered her head, her face devoid of the pride she had before.

The ones competing with the two Wu Zong for this brocade box were a small Family Door, consisting of three men.

Originally, they had also wanted to make a move on Zhu Minglang and Nan Lingsha, after all, the City Ownership Deed was in their hands, but before they could exert their Power of God and Mortality, they saw how effortlessly the two from the Martial Sect were defeated…

They looked at each other and then turned to leave.

Fortunately, it wasn’t them who acted first.

Otherwise, it would have been them who were directly eliminated.

This City Ownership Deed…

Had nothing to do with them!

“Isn’t that Zhu Minglang?” one of the men from the small Family Door said as they walked away.

“It seems so, but isn’t his dragon usually an Azure Dragon and a Black Dragon? Why has it turned into a White Dragon today?”

“We gave it our all to make it to this third round, yet people are hiding their true strength, and still, during this third round, they casually trampled on Wu Zong disciples who were prepared to face great dangers…”

“Would one of you look back and check if they’re following us? I don’t want to get eliminated just after getting in.”

“No, no, we’re just small fry; as long as we don’t bother them deliberately, they are not interested in us.”

“Thank heavens.”

Having taken the City Ownership Deed, Zhu Minglang remembered what the referee had said.

It was only considered theirs after igniting the Beacon Bamboo Tube and handing the City Ownership Deed to the referee who came to collect it.

So holding it now only meant it was temporarily in their possession.

If someone else came to snatch it, it could still be taken away.

In this mechanical city, there were many similar valuable resources, and even richer ones; Zhu Minglang was not in a hurry to give it to the referee. It wasn’t too late to ignite the Beacon Bamboo Tube after gathering a bunch of good resources.

As for where Runyu City really was, Zhu Minglang did not know.

Anyway, he wasn’t very interested in the ownership of such cities; when the time came, he would sell it and convert it into a hefty amount of Silver Taels.

The Divine Green Holy Dragon, Lei Cang Violent Dragon, Ice Morning White Dragon— their monthly food expenses were already staggering, if he didn’t have some income, he really wouldn’t be able to afford to keep them!

This Runyu City was probably just a poor little city.

If it was very far from Imperial City, this deed could be sold to a suitable buyer for up to five hundred thousand gold.

If he couldn’t find a buyer, settle for one hundred thousand gold at most.

Of course, it might also be worthless…

Some cities, because of their location, had many issues, and sometimes one might even need to invest a large sum of money for construction and management before seeing any benefits.

Zhu Minglang wasn’t very skilled or interested in city governance; if he handed it over to Zheng Yu, he would probably handle it better.

“Young Master, Miss,” suddenly, a voice came from behind.

The person was already quite close, but Zhu Minglang and Nan Lingsha hadn’t really noticed.

Clearly, she was an expert.

However, Zhu Minglang found her voice very familiar.

“Qin Yang, why are you here too?” Zhu Minglang turned around, looking at the brocade-dressed woman with some surprise.

“Each power has three slots, and there was no reason for our Zhu Gate to leave one empty,” Qin Yang replied.

“It was my father who was worried about my safety and had you come to protect us, wasn’t it?” Zhu Minglang said with a wry smile.

“Young Master, I couldn’t possibly undertake the task of protection. I am merely concerned that the young master has not been in Imperial City for many years and might not be familiar with many things. I can inform the young master about some matters to avoid unnecessary troubles… For instance, the Royal Young Gang has already assembled,” Qin Yang began to explain.

“This mechanical city is so complex, and they’ve gathered together so quickly??” Zhu Minglang said with some doubt.

“Just as I could easily find the young master and the miss, among them, there are those who know the secrets of this mechanical city,” Qin Yang said.

“Well, it seems that in rules that appear fair, after all, there has been a teacher who went over similar subjects with the students,” Zhu Minglang said, shaking his head helplessly.

“If the young master wishes to kill, we must act quickly. Once their experts gather together, it will be they who come to kill us,” Qin Yang reminded Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang firmly believed that Hao Shaocong and the others wouldn’t drop out of the competition prematurely.

Because this competition was their only chance to kill him.

If he ran away, Zhu Minglang wouldn’t need to act—Zhu Heavenly Officer would take care of the other offspring of the Hao family.

Hao Shaocong had no choice left.

He could only unite with the Royal Young Gang in this competition to finish off Zhu Minglang.

“Where are they now?” Zhu Minglang inquired.

“Follow me, young master and miss; this mechanical city changes its layout, but if nothing goes wrong, their target should be a deed of a Young Dragon Valley,” Qin Yang said.

“Young Dragon Valley, these guys really know too much about this mechanical city!” Zhu Minglang said with a cold snort.
