Chapter 386: Battle on Dragon Island
Qi You stared at the person in front of him, a glimmer of killing intent flashing in his eyes. These individuals seemed oblivious to the significance of the Dragon Emperor. Did they truly desire the eternal division of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe?
"Haha, old fellow Qi You, don't take your anger out on me. I'm merely here on orders to invite the esteemed individual with the royal bloodline back to the Western Dragon Island."
A burly man with thick eyebrows wearing dark golden armor stepped forward slowly. As he moved, the empty space seemed to tremble. He glanced at Qi You, who was protected by a defensive barrier, and let out a boisterous laugh.
"It seems like the Western Dragon King intends to imprison the royal bloodline on the Western Dragon Island, doesn't he? Hmph, he's just a branch of the royal bloodline, yet he dares to proclaim himself a Dragon King. I wonder if he realizes the consequences of his actions!" Qi You sneered.
Crossing his arms, the man named Xia Ao responded in a casual tone, "The current Ancient Void Dragon Tribe has split into four factions. Regardless of the reasons, the Western Dragon King possesses a royal bloodline, which gives him greater influence over the others with ordinary bloodlines. If we talk about legitimacy, your Eastern Dragon Island is the one that shouldn't exist. Among the four islands, only yours lacks a leader with a royal bloodline. Such an existence won't be recognized!"
"It's not for the other three Dragon Kings to decide what is acceptable or not. The Ancient Void Dragon Tribe does not have any North, South, or West Dragon Kings. It only recognizes the former Dragon Emperor. The rest have no qualifications to implement any tribe rules," Qi You replied firmly, raising his eyebrows.
"Hehe, the Dragon Emperor has been missing for thousands of years. I'm afraid he no longer exists! This time, I've come on orders. Hand over the person with the royal bloodline, or things might not end well..." Xia Ao shrugged nonchalantly, seemingly unmoved by Qi You's words.
"How dare you! How dare you speak ill of the Dragon Emperor. You're not worthy to live!" Qi You's expression turned cold. He clenched his fist, and a formidable energy rapidly gathered.
"Hee, Qi You, in terms of combat strength, your Eastern Dragon Island is the weakest among the four islands. If my Western Dragon Island's Dragon Armor Army invades, your Eastern Dragon Island won't last long." Seeing Qi You preparing to take action, Xia Ao remained calm and fearless. His formidable aura surged forth as he coolly regarded Qi You, speaking with a hint of disdain, "Dragon Armor Army, attack! Bring back that so-called person with a royal bloodline! Dragon Emperor? Hmph, who knows if it's just a gimmick from your side."
"Do you dare?!"
"Old fellow Qi You, let me see if you have improved or if you are still the same as before!"
With Xia Ao's words, he suddenly burst into action, charging ferociously towards Qi You with a fierce and violent posture. It was evident that his abilities far surpassed those of a mere peak Dou Venerate.
"Yes!"
Each member of the Dragon Armor Army, clad in dragon-patterned golden armor, shouted loudly. Upon receiving the order, they exuded a powerful and imposing aura, subtly connecting with each other as they overwhelmed the Dragon Guards of Eastern Dragon Island.
In the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe, bloodline was highly revered. The soldiers of the Dragon Armor Army, under the dominance of the bloodline of the Western Dragon King on Western Dragon Island, had long been indoctrinated. Even as they swung their blades towards Eastern Dragon Island, there was hardly any hesitation.
Below, Zhu Li's expression turned cold as he witnessed the scene. He glanced at Zi Yan inside the large cauldron, then at Xiao Ming outside of it, and spoke solemnly:
"Protect them. Do not let anyone approach."
Shouts resounded from various concealed positions around them.
"Understood!"
The space in front of Zhu Li distorted, and when he reappeared, he was already in the sky. He briefly glanced at the ongoing fight between Qi You and Xia Ao before withdrawing his gaze, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
"Western Dragon Island has sent the Dragon Armor Army and Xia Ao. I wonder who from the Southern Dragon Island is leading the Barbarian Dragon Army?" Zhu Li's indifferent voice echoed.
Upon his words, a group of burly men with dragon-shaped tattoos covering their bare upper bodies stepped forward, led by an even more robust old man.
"Zhu Li, long time no see!"
Zhu Li's expression flickered upon seeing this elder. He furrowed his brow and spoke coldly, "So, it's Elder Man Yan from the Barbarian Dragon Army. Bringing the Barbarian Dragon Army here today, you're truly making one mistake after another. Her Highness's bloodline comes from the former Dragon Emperor, the purest royal bloodline. It cannot be compared to the so-called Dragon King of the Southern Dragon Island!"
The elder referred to as Man Yan twitched his face at Zhu Li's words, but remained unmoved, calmly stating, "Those are merely your words. Who can truly know the real situation? Even so, the three Dragon Kings will not easily surrender, regardless of her identity."
Even if Zi Yan's identity was correct, the three Dragon Kings would not willingly submit again now that they had tasted the power of authority.
Zhu Li sighed inwardly. The three Dragon Kings were the true disruptors of their tribe, and although others were aware of the situation, facing the suppression of bloodline, they had no choice.
The suppression of bloodline in the Magical Beast world was just as unreasonable.
Observing the other party's stubbornness, Zhu Li's face also turned indifferent. He slowly opened his hands, and his robe fluttered without wind. His aura was no longer restrained and was unleashed without any restraint.
"Come, let me see how much fighting power remains in the once-famous Barbarian Dragon Army under the command of the Southern Dragon King!"
