Chapter 636 The Terrifying Flood Dragon Emperor
A hundred miles away from the Heavenly Fire Tribe, black plague qi continuously bubbled up from within a mountain lake.
Splash, accompanied by a wave churning up, a green flood dragon with red horns leaped out of the lake.
It gazed in the direction of Red Maple Valley and murmured to itself: "Strange, why have no wandering souls flown over these past few days?"
"If I devour the entire Heavenly Fire Tribe, not only can I complete the task His Highness the Black Dragon assigned to me, but I can also break through the boundary to become a True Dragon."
"No, this is the only opportunity in this Emperor's life; I absolutely cannot let this chance to transform into a dragon slip away from my hands."
This Emperor wants to see exactly how those ignorant humans control the plague.
After the flood dragon finished murmuring, it flew towards the direction of Red Maple Valley.
At the same time, outside Red Maple Valley, the Chieftain had already lain in ambush with the Grand Priest and others.
As long as that demon causing trouble in the shadows appeared, they would strike together to suppress it.
Whoosh...
Accompanied by a gust of demonic wind sweeping in, the sky turned dark and the earth dimmed in an instant.
Demonic clouds shrouded the entire Red Maple Valley, blocking out the scorching sun in the sky.
For a moment, it was incredibly dark inside Red Maple Valley.
The humans inside the valley who were just about to leave froze in place upon seeing this scene.
They raised their heads one by one to look at the sudden dark clouds in the sky, their eyelids twitching incessantly, as if something bad was about to happen.
The vast majority chose to stay in the valley and moved closer to where Lord Eldest Grandson was located.
Jiang Yan, who was meditating and regulating his breath, sensed this overwhelming pressure and subconsciously opened his eyes to look towards the sky.
Gazing at the dark clouds that were bottomless like an abyss, the corners of his mouth rose slightly: It is finally here.
I did not expect this demon to be so unable to hold back; it appeared after only three days.
However, Jiang Yan was in no hurry to make a move.
He planned to wait for the demon to reveal its true form before using the treasure his master had given him.
The divine light on his body still shrouded Red Cloud Valley.
It was precisely because of the existence of this divine light that the humans in the valley did not lose their composure.
After three days of interaction, everyone had already come to regard Jiang Yan, this Lord Eldest Grandson, as the future master of the tribe.
They firmly believed that as long as Jiang Yan was there, any crisis could be easily resolved.
Outside the valley, the Chieftain and the Grand Priest watched the demonic clouds filling the sky, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Both of them could sense that behind those demonic clouds hid an existence capable of wiping out the entire Heavenly Fire Tribe.
Seeing this, the Chieftain turned his head and said to Jiang Lie beside him: "Lie'er, once the battle begins later, you will enter the valley and take Yan'er away."
"Then, after you two return to the city, lead the tribesmen to escape in two different directions."
"Remember, if you cannot enter the valley, then escape alone; you only need to bring this news back to the tribe."
Jiang Lie was stunned when he heard these words.
Was this still his father who had always been biased?
He would actually say these words to him at such a time, even allowing him to abandon Jiang Yan.
With his cleverness, he quickly figured out the key point.
He subconsciously blurted out: "Father, are you saying that even with your and the Grand Priest's strength, you cannot defeat the demon in the sky?"
"Correct."
The Grand Priest said faintly: "The feeling this demon gives me is that it is infinitely close to a Sorcerer God."
"If the Sorcerer God does not take action, our Heavenly Fire Tribe will definitely be destroyed by it."
"The only thing we can do is buy time for you to escape."
"But without you, how will the tribe continue?" Jiang Lie asked back subconsciously.
The Grand Priest continued: "You kid have always wanted to become the Chieftain."
"Now there is an opportunity; why are you afraid?"
"Can't you choose for one of you to escape?"
Jiang Lie asked somewhat reluctantly.
He knew his own limits; with his current cultivation, if he did not have the protection of the tribe, he would sooner or later be swallowed up by other tribes.
The Chieftain shook his head: "If the two of us join hands, we can still buy you an hour of escape time."
"If we do not join hands and let it defeat us one by one, we won't be able to hold on for even half an hour."
"..."
After listening to the words of the two elders, Jiang Lie could not utter a single word.
He felt for the first time that the sky was collapsing.
Roar...
A sudden angry roar came from within the demonic clouds.
With just this one roar, countless humans in the valley were instantly stunned, leaving only Jiang Yan still conscious.
Before Jiang Yan could speak, the Chieftain's voice rang out in the sky above the valley.
"I do not know which Demon Emperor has graced us with his presence."
"This old man has failed to welcome you from afar; please forgive me, Demon Emperor."
"You little old man of the Heavenly Fire Tribe, you actually do not fear this Seat?"
Accompanied by a teasing voice, a huge flood dragon head poked out from behind the demonic clouds.
Seeing this huge flood dragon head, the Chieftain of Heavenly Fire trembled in his heart.
It was actually a Flood Dragon Emperor that was about to transform into a dragon.
This was big trouble now; even if he and the Grand Priest joined hands, they would probably be able to withstand it for only a moment.
Among the Five Elements, water overcomes fire.
Moreover, the opponent's cultivation was stronger than his own.
This battle was simply impossible to fight.
Even though the Heavenly Fire Chieftain knew the outcome, he did not choose to retreat.
Instead, he asked with a smile: "This little old man asks himself and believes he has no grudge or enmity with Your Excellency the Flood Dragon Emperor."
"I presume Your Excellency will not make things difficult for a small old man like me."
"No, you are wrong. You are this Seat's enemy."
The flood dragon looked at the little old human before him with a teasing expression on its face.
It had not yet tasted the flavor of a human Great Martial.
Today, it would start with this little old man.
As for that delicacy in the valley, it would save him for last.
That was a human youth with great fortune; as long as it ate him, there would be no obstacles to its transformation into a dragon.
"I still ask Your Excellency the Flood Dragon Emperor to clear up my confusion."
What the Heavenly Fire Chieftain needed to do now was stall for time, allowing Jiang Yan and his second son to escape smoothly.
At the same time, the Grand Priest also used his spiritual sense to transmit a voice to Jiang Yan: "A Yan, leave quickly, this place is dangerous."
"This Flood Dragon Emperor is not something your grandfather and I can oppose."
"The farther you escape, the better."
Jiang Yan heard the Grand Priest's voice and immediately responded using his spiritual sense: "Thank you for the reminder, Grand Priest."
"You need not worry; this flood dragon cannot make any big waves."
While responding to the Grand Priest, he took out the life-preserving Sword Jade his master had given him from his storage bag, ready to strike at any moment.
Jiang Lie did not choose to go save Jiang Yan.
If he entered the valley now, he probably would not be able to get out.
He planned to escape alone to bring back the news.
Unfortunately, his action did not escape the eyes of the flood dragon.
"Roar!"
The flood dragon let out another angry shout, and a terrifying pressure instantly shrouded the earth.
Jiang Lie fell from the sky to the ground like a crashing aircraft.
Jiang Lie lay motionless on the ground, his heart filled with regret and fear.
That fellow in the sky was simply too terrifying.
It was over; the entire Heavenly Fire Tribe was done for!
Seeing this scene, the Heavenly Fire Chieftain cursed his second son in his heart as an idiot.
I told you to wait until the fight started to escape.
If you leave now, aren't you just seeking death?
The flood dragon scanned the people inside and outside the valley with a teasing look on its face and laughed: "Little old man, since you want to be an understanding ghost, this Emperor will tell you."
"The territory where your Heavenly Fire Tribe is located has been taken a fancy to by His Highness the Black Dragon God of my family."
"He plans to make this entire area a hunting ground for our Dragon Clan, and you are the livestock His Highness the Black Dragon God has bestowed upon me."
Hiss...
Everyone present subconsciously gasped upon hearing these words.
The Heavenly Fire Chieftain said: "Flood Dragon Emperor, although you are stronger than this old man, there is a Sorcerer God sitting in command behind me."
"Even if your Black Dragon Emperor comes, he might not necessarily be able to suppress the Fire God we worship."
"Hahaha..."
The flood dragon laughed loudly: "A mere human Sorcerer God is completely vulnerable before my Dragon Clan."
"If what you worshipped was the Water God, perhaps His Highness the Black Dragon God might spare you a path to live."
"Blame yourselves for worshipping the God of Fire, which is as annoying to us as those ugly birds."
"Seeing that your Heavenly Fire Tribe has contributed a human Son of Fortune to this Emperor, little old man, this Emperor will give you a chance to say your last words."
In just a few short sentences, the amount of information contained was simply too much.
It made it impossible for the Heavenly Fire Chieftain and the Grand Priest to sort through this information for a moment.
They could not afford to analyze it either and could only act according to the original plan.
"Hmph!"
The Heavenly Fire Chieftain let out a cold snort: "If you want to devour us, you must see if you have the ability."
"Heavenly Fire, descend!"
Accompanied by the Heavenly Fire Chieftain's loud shout, a red light emitted from his body and rushed straight into the sky.
The red light pushed aside the demonic clouds, and as the sunlight shone upon the earth, a streak of Heavenly Fire descended from the sky, falling towards the flood dragon.
Rumble!
Accompanied by a huge explosion, smoke and dust filled the sky, making it impossible to see what was behind the smoke.
Smoke but no injury!
Only a teasing voice was heard coming from within the smoke: "Little old man, is your strength only this much?"
"A human Great Martial is nothing more than this."
Before the voice had finished, the flood dragon's head drilled out from the smoke.
Everyone present looked at the flood dragon, which was completely unharmed, and they all froze in place.
A thought involuntarily surfaced in their minds: How is this possible? How could he not be injured at all...
