Chapter 312 Loyalty



It has only been a few seconds into the exchange when Xuefeng realized his chances of winning were slim. All his strength relied on abilities that used Qi and he never really practiced fighting using only his Bloodline. Even when he used his Elvish Bloodline Art, that was barely enough to stop Dragon Queen.

"You think you can stop me?" Dragon Queen questioned with an amused smile as her movements slowed down. "Nice try hubby."

Dragon Queen's body tensed and she tried to forcibly break the restriction on her body. Xuefeng immediately felt a strong headache that intensified with each second so he acted quickly. His Dragon Edge cut straight at Dragon Queen's joints and blood burst out in small streams.

Unfortunately, that was Xuefeng's first mistake. He didn't plan to kill Dragon Queen and simply aimed to immobilize her but that allowed her to come back. As soon as he lifted his Elvish Bloodline Art, the black Earth Flame burned across all her wounds and healed them in a blink of an eye.

"You make me feel bad when you are being so nice to me..." Dragon Queen commented while her Earth Flame lit up her nails. "You could hurt me if you aimed for my neck but you decided to spare me. I start to like you more and more with each minute."

"If you like me that much then let's stop this," Xuefeng proposed but Dragon Queen shook her head.

"If I stop, you will leave and I will never see you again," Dragon Queen pointed out. "Who knows, maybe you might even try to steal the Earth Flame for yourself and I can't let that happen."

"How are you able to use the Earth Flame inside the Sacred Altar?" Xuefeng wondered as he backed towards the crimson barrier. "Isn't it made of Qi? Why isn't it sucked by the Ancient Spirit."

Xuefeng didn't even try to use the Elemental Bracelet to control the Earth Flame. Unless he possessed an equally powerful or a stronger flame, Dragon Queen's Earth Flame wouldn't react to his calls.

"That's cause the Ancient Spirit would be burned if he tried to neutralize the Earth Flame," Dragon Queen replied as she slowly walked closed. "Please, don't make me use it on you. I don't want to hurt you either so you should surrender yourself to me now."

The Red Dragon caused the mountain to shake when he landed and the Sacred Altar wasn't immune. He glared at the Crimson Barrier before he turned to the other nine Elders and cursed, "I fucking knew it! I told you that whore was fucking with that stranger! Now she is recruiting him like nothing happened and I wouldn't be surprised if she picked him as her next King."

Dragon Queen was momentarily stunned before her Earth Flames exploded all over her body. "That bastard! I should have killed him myself!"

The Red Dragon couldn't see what was going on inside the Sacred Altar and cried out, "The Era of the Dragon Queen's ruling is over. I am voting for removing her from the throne and replacing her with the eldest Elder!"

All Elders were taken aback by the sudden vote and but looking at the eldest Elder, they didn't seem against the idea. The youngest Elder probably knew he wouldn't be picked if he nominated himself so he chose the most respected Elder.

"I support the candidate!"

"I support too!"

"I am looking forward to this change!"

One by one all Elders pledged their support until it was only the candidate himself that didn't speak.

"He is not going to betray me," Dragon Queen muttered with confidence but Red Dragon was good at tempting.

"Don't worry about the Dragon Queen," Red Dragon assured. "Once we dethrone her, you can take her as your concubine. We all know you loved her the most."

That final suggestion swayed the eldest Elder and he finally nodded. "Alright. I agree."

Dragon Queen shivered all over when she realized how little support she had and Xuefeng didn't hesitate to strike while the iron was hot. "We are scrapping the agreement. Now that it came down to this, you have to trust me or you will lose your position as a Dragon Queen. I'm the only one who can help you."
