Chapter 559: Chapter 559: Shadow Giant Dragon

Upon hearing that Qi Yun’s target was the Goblet of Life in his possession, Song Jian’s lips curled up slightly and said, “I’m sorry, but this was not part of our agreement.”

Upon hearing Song Jian’s response, Qi Yun’s face darkened instantly, and intense murderous intent surged in his heart like a wave.

Originally, he had no intention of sparing Song Jian. Hence, the map he gave him was a modified version where the locations of the Treasure Vault and the Shadow Giant Dragon’s eggs were swapped. Ninety percent of the content was true;

If he were Song Jian, the first room he would reach upon entering the Dark Castle would unmistakably be the Treasure Vault. Once Song Jian followed this map into the room with the Shadow Dragon eggs, it would trigger an alarm and incur the pursuit of the Shadow Giant Dragon;

This way, he could easily enter the Treasure Vault, secure the Goblet of Life at his leisure, and leave;

However, to his surprise, Song Jian reached the Treasure Vault before he did. While Qi Yun was still pondering why Song Jian was here, he suddenly saw that the latter had already obtained the Goblet of Life that he desired.

“Speak, what would it take for you to hand over the Goblet of Life to me? As long as I can offer it, I will give it to you,” Qi Yun exclaimed angrily, taking a deep breath.

“Talking about these things now is pointless.” Song Jian laughed heartily and said, “I just want to ask you one thing. Are you ready?”

“Ready? Ready for what?” Qi Yun asked in confusion.

“Ready to face the wrath of the Shadow Giant Dragon together with me!” Song Jian laughed, skilfully stowing away the Goblet of Life into his bag.

Upon losing its sense of the Goblet of Life, the Shadow Giant Dragon in the grand hall of the Dark Castle let out an angry roar, stood up and strode towards the Treasure Vault;

“Thieves, despicable thieves, daring to steal within the grand Bladesedge Castle, unforgivable!” A violent roar that made the entire Dark Castle slightly tremble;

“You’re courting death!” Qi Yun’s face changed drastically. Just as he was preparing to flee, the door of the Treasure Vault was blown open with a thunderous “boom” by the Shadow Giant Dragon.

A huge head pressed through the doorway;

This creature’s head alone was the size of a truck, followed by a neck as large as a giant python, covered in thick scales. Its strong forelimbs managed to fling the thick door away just like that, and its entire body barged into the Treasure Vault.

Thick gold coins and jewels flowed from beneath its massive claws and with each step it took, it left a giant pit in the ground.

“Are you three the petty thieves? Daring to steal in front of the great Bladesedge, this makes me very angry. Now, you’ll face the punishment of the Shadow Giant Dragon, Bladesedge,” roared the Shadow Giant Dragon at the three of them;

This creature, nearly a hundred meters long, had enormous wings that could conjure a storm capable of destroying a city, sharp claws that rivalled divine weapons, able to tear open any solid armour; corrosive Dragon’s Breath was brewing in its huge mouth, with the Dragon Flame in its throat flickering;

Compared to it, Song Jian’s Black Dragon seemed like an infant;

However, Song Jian noticed a seven or eight-metre wound at the root of the Shadow Giant Dragon’s right wing. The wound emitted a faint golden light, inhibiting the dragon’s self-healing. Besides, the dragon seemed rather aged, its body exuding an aura of decay and senility.

Kane roared loudly, wielding the Bloodthirsty Totem Pillar, and heavily slammed the ground. Suddenly, several totems as thick as human arms appeared around them;

A defence totem, a healing totem, a Flame Totem, a Steel Totem, a binding totem…

Kane deployed all the totems he possessed at once, then heaved heavily, his face pale as a sheet.

“I love defiant little rats. The more you resist, the more excited I get!” The Shadow Giant Dragon roared, stomping its forepaws. Its upper body lunged forward and stood up, then it stomped heavily on the ground;

“Boom~”

A loud noise sounded, and a shockwave radiated from its feet, scattering all the heavy gold coins and jewels on the ground, exposing the floor of the Treasure Vault.

Song Jian and his companions were unable to hold their footing and were hurled back by the blast, crashing hard into the stone pillar within the Treasure Vault.

Blood spurted out, and Song Jian discovered with shock that his Vitality Points had plummeted by more than five hundred;

“This… Is the attack power of the Shadow Giant Dragon too formidable?” Song Jian looked alarmed.

His Vitality Points were just above two thousand. In one hit, a quarter of those points were gone. How was he supposed to continue the fight?

“How did you assure me earlier that I could hold it off for half an hour?” Song Jian turned his head, staring at Qi Yun as he asked.

Qi Yun: “…”

Earlier, Qi Yun had planned for Song Jian to die at the hands of the Shadow Giant Dragon without considering that he himself would have to face the beast.

“Activate Immortal Sword Body!”

Song Jian activated the Immortal Sword Body without hesitation and charged towards the Shadow Giant Dragon;

“He… He actually dares to fight this Shadow Giant Dragon?” Qi Yun’s eyes widened in shock. This Shadow Giant Dragon was the final boss of the Dark Castle, and killing it would at least require the combined effort of ten players, all at level thirty with tier-one combat power.

Song Jian was actually charging at it alone now. Wasn’t this courting death?

Such speed!

The shadow giant dragon, Bladesedge, was taken aback at the sight of Song Jian charging towards it.

Boom!

Song Jian leapt high, and his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword slashed towards Shadow Giant Dragon’s torso;

The dragon was too massive; every part of it was a potential target. However, for the dragon to attack Song Jian, it would have to use large-scale skills.

Thud!

With a loud sound, Song Jian shattered several of Shadow Giant Dragon’s thick scales. The dragon hollered in pain and viciously swung its tail towards Song Jian;

The spindly tail covered in thick scales, like a giant hammer, tore through the air, making a sharp, shrill sound;

The strength attribute the Shadow Giant Dragon possessed far exceeded Song Jian’s. At this point, Song Jian dared not confront it directly; he could only dodge nimbly;

Watching as Song Jian and the Shadow giant dragon tussling together, the Minotaur, Kane, let out a thunderous roar. From the Bloodthirsty Totem Pillar he held, a dazzling red light burst forth. Instantly, Kane’s body swelled up, radiant with red light. His eyes were filled with bloodlust, and he seemed to turn berserk all of a sudden. He brandished the totem pillar and charged at the Shadow Giant Dragon;

“For glory!” Kane roared, lifting the Totem Pillar and smashing down on the dragon;

Woosh~

The Shadow Giant Dragon let out a roar, waving its wings, and knocked Kane away fiercely. Its sharp talons ripped three bone-deep wounds on his chest.
