The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 525: A Reward of 10 Million Xuan Crystals

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The reason for Yang Qi and Ji Nu to attack Jiang Qiling was simple.

Jiang Qiling and Lu Li were on close terms. Yang Qi and Ji Nu wanted to rescue Yang Xuan, Ji Mengtian and the others but they could not find Lu Li. Yang Qi and Ji Nu decided to take the risk of capturing Jiang Qiling to coerce Lu Li.

If Jiang Qiling didn’t leave the base camp, Yang Qi and Ji Nu wouldn’t be bold enough to make their move. After all, there were too many people at the base camp. However, Jiang Qiling had come out to find Lu Li herself when she was still vulnerable. Ji Nu and Yang Qi saw their opportunity. They believed by taking down Jiang Qiling, they could bargain with Lu Li.

When Jiang Hu caught up with Jiang Qiling, he only had more than 10 warriors with him. Later, he felt it not enough so he called over another more than 20 warriors. It was lucky he did that. Otherwise, he would have been killed and Jiang Qiling captured.

“Boom, boom, boom~”

Over a huge mountain rage, Jiang Qiling was in a siege. There were only nine left on her side. If it were not for the fact that Jiang Qiling and Jiang Hu had eighth rank Soulfeast Butterfly Bloodline, everyone except for Jiang Qiling would have been slayed.

She had Holy Grade armor and shield which was quite strong.

Even so, blood was seeping out from the corner of her mouth constantly. Her injured soul has not recovered yet. The situation worsened by her releasing too many Soulfeast Butterflies. Being hit for so many times, her internal organs were wounded as well.

At the foot of the mountain range, there were many warriors. At the start, more than 100 warriors were here, 30 or 40 of which were killed by Jiang Qiling and her warriors. Now the number grew to 200 who were all gathered up by Yang Qi and Ji Nu later on.

Not all of them were disciples of the Samsara Palace, the Pavilion of Blossoms, or the Hades Society and the Lu Family. Many warriors were from affiliating families.

For example, the Aries Palace was affiliated with the Palace of Blue Lions which was dependent on the Lu Family. There was no direct link between the Aries Palace and the Lu Family. But if Lu Hongyu gave an order, the Aries Palace would have to follow.

Yang Qi and Ji Nu were not the most important disciples, much less important than Yang Xuan and Ji Mengtian, but it was not a hard thing for them to get some warriors of their affiliated families.

Yang Qi and Ji Nu were dead set on capturing Jiang Qiling, because if they didn’t do so, it would be incredibly dangerous for Yang Xuan, Ji Mengtian, Die Feiyu, Lu Suan and Lu Ni.

Ji Nu was the Ji Family warrior that was hiding on the tree outside of that cave who was knocked out by Lu Li. By the time Ji Nu woke up, Ji Mengtian and the rest had disappeared.

Ji Nu went back to the base camp and heard everyone saying that Lu Li had taken them and might kill them at any time. Ji Nu was sure that the news was true. Otherwise, Ji Mengtian and the others couldn’t have vanished…

“Boom, boom, boom~”

A group of warriors were releasing a variety of attacks to Jiang Qiling, including Bloodline Skills and secret skills. But nobody dared to move too close as Jiang Qiling and Jiang Hu’s Soulfeast Butterflies were incredible. They could kill anyone nearby. The dozens of dead bodies at the foot of the mountain were still warm.

Ji Nu’s plan was clearly, relying on the sheer number to kill Jiang Hu slowly and take down Jiang Qiling when she was in critical condition.

Of course, he would not dare to kill Jiang Qiling who after all was the chosen warrior for the future. He understood that as long as he didn’t kill her, it would still be under control. The Samsara Palace would stop Pavilion of Delicacy’s flames of fury for him.

He was doing this to save Ji Mengtian. What was more, not only the Samsara Palace was involved, the Pavilion of Blossoms, the Lu Family and Hades Society were in on this as well. Would the Pavilion of Delicacy offend four forces at the same time?

“Buzzing~”

Ji Nu sat in a corner quietly. With a glare on his neck, a black fire phoenix came roaring out toward Jiang Hu.

“Look out!”

Jiang Qiling saw that. Jiang Hu and the rest reacted soon and stepped back. Still, one of them didn’t dodge in time and was hit by the fire phoenix.

“Ah!”

The man burst into black flames and his flesh was corroded in a speed visible to the naked eye. The black fire phoenix was a Bloodline Skill unique to the Ji Family. The black phoenix contained not only high temperature, but some energy that could corrode enemies’ flesh. Even Jiang Qiling would sustain grave injury when hit by the fire phoenix.

Another man dying made Jiang Qiling boil with anger. However, when she tried to locate Ji Nu, he had already hid himself in the crowd. This was a man slier than a fox. To kill him was not an easy matter.

“Ah~”

Another miserable cry came from the ridge. Yang Qi also took secret action. He released some ghosts and used them to trap a man who had no way to dodge away or to defend himself. In the end, he had to stand all the attacks coming at him from all sides and be torn apart.

“Young Lady, we cannot delay anymore. You break out of the encirclement and we will cover for you.”

Jiang Hu was determined to face death. If Jiang Qiling could make it out, his death would not to be regretted. Amid a black glare from his neck, endless Soulfeast Butterflies surged out, forcing many warriors to step back.

“Watch you die? I go on my own? I am not that kind of person!”

Wiping the blood off her mouth, Jiang Qiling glanced around her and said, “They don’t have the guts to kill me. Come with me. I will stay at the front and it will be much easier for you. If you die, I will not run away. I swear I will kill them all.”

“Charge!”

Jiang Qiling roared and released her Bead of Life. Taking the lead, she dashed on. Jiang Hu and the rest had to release their Beads of Life and follow her.

“Swish, swish~”

Jiang Qiling released countless Soulfeast Butterflies at the front and shot out shockwaves of Xuan Energy which surged on like roaring tides, making many enemy warriors flee in terror.

“Trying to get out?”

Ji Nu and Yang Qi looked at each other with a cold smile. They sneaked into the crowd. Paying no attention to Jiang Qiling, they moved toward Jiang Hu and the others.

“Die~”

Ji Nu and Yang Qi released their Bloodline Skills at once directly toward Jiang Hu and the others instead toward Jiang Qiling. When Jiang Hu and the rest died, one Jiang Qiling was nobody to be afraid from.

“Stay away!”

Jiang Hu dodged and flew up to the sky. He reacted fast but not others. Two were struck by the fire phoenix while three were trapped by ghosts. Hence, they were not able to defend themselves against all the coming Xuan Energy attacks from all directions.

“Boom, boom, boom~”

Many streaks of Xuan Energy whooshed by. The five were all slayed. Jiang Qiling and Jiang Hu had more than dozens of warriors with them to begin with and now all of them were dead.

“Kill them!”

Jiang Qiling roared in sorrow. She didn’t try to run anymore. She charged toward Ji Nu like an angry dragon. She didn’t even try to dodge the attacks herself. She relied only on her Holy Grade armor to defend her. To her, there was only one person worth noticing. She wanted to tear Ji Nu apart.

“Ha, ha, ha~”

Ji Nu laughed as he retreated back into the crowd like a mud fish. If Jiang Qiling wanted to catch him, she must kill the dozens warriors standing in front of him.

“Attack Jiang Qiling. Anyone that can capture her alive will be rewarded 10 million Xuan Crystals!” Ji Nu shouted. His voice resounded in the wild.

“Stop. I will kill anyone who dare attack Jiang Qiling!”

Right at that moment, a roar came from the distance. Clearly, it was Dragon Roar. The roar as loud as if it came from a beast made many warrior’s eardrums hurt and disturbed their Xuan Energy.

“It is Lu Li!”

Jiang Hu felt this was the most beautiful voice he had ever heard. Tears of happiness sprang up in his eyes. He looked to where the sound came from with anticipation.

“Whoosh—”

From the distance came a huge Fate Wheel. Jiang Qiling stopped her attacks. She stared at the man standing on the Fate Wheel. Her blood-covered mouth curved up, sad and beautiful.
