Chapter 5885
The golden light was so pure and sacred, it seemed capable of dispelling all darkness and evil in the world!
Within the golden light, the faint phantom of a five-clawed golden dragon could be seen, coiled around Kai, its head held high, its eyes like the sun and moon, looking down upon all living beings! The
terrifying dragon’s might was ten or even a hundred times stronger than that of the Flame Dragon!
It was a suppression from the deepest part of its bloodline, the absolute dominion of a superior over an inferior!
The Flame Dragon, which was swooping down, was struck by lightning the moment it heard the dragon’s roar and saw the phantom of the golden dragon, abruptly halting its descent!
Its enormous dragon eyes were filled with unbelievable terror and…awe!
“Roar…”
The Flame Dragon let out a low, almost mournful roar, its massive body trembling.
The dragon race had a strict hierarchy of bloodlines. The five-clawed golden dragon was the emperor among dragons, a legendary being capable of commanding all dragons.
Even a trace of its bloodline pressure was enough to make ordinary dragons tremble and unable to muster the slightest thought of resistance.
Although this fire dragon had reached the peak of the ninth rank of the Celestial Immortal Realm, its bloodline was only of medium quality. Faced with Kai’s fully activated five-clawed golden dragon bloodline, it instinctively felt fear and wanted to submit.
Kai seized the opportunity, took a step forward, and the golden dragon phantom moved accordingly, its dragon might even intensifying!
He pointed at the fire dragon and uttered ancient dragon language: “Retreat!”
A simple word, yet it was like an imperial decree, carrying unquestionable majesty.
“Woo…”
The fire dragon let out a mournful cry of unwillingness, its huge body slowly retreating and sinking back into the lava lake.
Its golden dragon eyes looked deeply at Kai, filled with awe and doubt, but in the end, it disappeared beneath the churning lava.
The crisis was over.
Kai immediately withdrew his bloodline power, and the golden light and the golden dragon phantom quickly dissipated. His face was pale, and his body swayed—fully activating the golden dragon bloodline had consumed a great deal of energy, almost draining thirty percent of his blood and immortal power.
“Kai!”
Huo Ling’er quickly helped him up. “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine, let’s go.”
Kai said urgently, “The Flame Dragon is only temporarily intimidated, it could react at any moment. Take Elder Yan Xin with us and leave immediately!”
Huo Ling’er nodded and ran to Elder Yan Xin’s side, finding that although he was seriously injured and unconscious, he was still breathing.
She quickly took out a crimson pill and put it into the elder’s mouth, then looked at Yan Lie at the edge of the basin: “Senior brother, come and help!”
Yan Lie then seemed to wake from a dream, his expression complicated as he ran over and, together with Huo Ling’er, helped Elder Yan Xin up.
His eyes as he looked at Kai were filled with shock, jealousy, fear… and a deeply hidden killing intent.
He had seen that scene clearly.
Golden Dragon Bloodline!
This Kai actually possessed the Golden Dragon Bloodline!
No wonder he was so powerful! No wonder the princess looked at him differently!
“I must get rid of him…”
Yan Lie thought to himself, “Otherwise, will I still have a place among the younger generation of the Earth Fire Pavilion? I’m afraid he will also completely steal the princess’s heart…”
But on the surface, he showed gratitude: “Fellow Daoist Chen, thank you for saving us! The Earth Fire Pavilion will definitely repay this kindness!”
Kai glanced at him and said indifferently: “Let’s leave first.” The three of them carried the unconscious Elder Yanxin away from the Flame Spirit Basin.
On the way, Huo Ling’er gripped Kai’s arm tightly, her eyes red: “Kai, thank you… If it weren’t for you, I would have…”
“Princess, you don’t need to be so polite,”
Kai said calmly. “I was entrusted with this task, and I must be loyal to it. Since I accepted the escort mission, it’s natural to protect the princess’s safety.”
Huo Ling’er looked at his calm profile, a complex emotion welling up inside her.
The scene of Kai standing in front of her, activating his Golden Dragon bloodline to intimidate the Flame Dragon, was deeply etched in her heart.
At that moment, he was like a god descended to earth, majestic and powerful, making one’s heart tremble, and even more so… moved.
“What was that just now…” she couldn’t help but ask.
“Just some life-saving trump cards,” Kai interrupted her. “Princess, please keep this a secret. I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.”
Huo Ling’er was taken aback, then nodded emphatically: “I understand! Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t tell anyone! Senior Brother Yan Lie, you must keep it a secret too!”
Yan Lie forced a smile: “Of course, Fellow Daoist Chen is our Earth Fire Pavilion’s benefactor, how could I harm him?”
But in his heart, that thought grew stronger and stronger.
The group quickly reunited with the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord, Lin Feng, Shi Meng, and others on the outer perimeter.
The other guards had long since disappeared, only Lin Feng and Shi Meng were still loyal and waited in a safe area.
Seeing Kai and the others emerge safely, the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord breathed a sigh of relief: “It’s good that you’re alright. That dragon roar just now… did you use your bloodline power?”
Kai nodded: “The situation was urgent, there was no other way.”
The Crimson Cloud Demon Lord glanced at Yan Lie and transmitted his voice: “That kid saw it?”
“Yes.”
“Trouble. He probably won’t keep it a secret for you.”
“Let’s take it one step at a time.”
The group dared not linger and retreated from the Crimson Flame Valley at full speed.
They arrived cautiously, and fled in panic. Fortunately, the Flame Dragon didn’t pursue them, and they didn’t encounter any other powerful beasts along the way.
Two hours later, the group finally escaped the canyon and returned to safety.
Elder Yanxin awoke under Huo Ling’er’s care; although his injuries were severe, his life was not in danger.
He looked at Kai, his expression complex: “Young friend Chen, I will forever remember your life-saving grace. The Earth Fire Pavilion owes you a great favor.”
Kai shook his head: “Elder, you flatter me. Since I accepted the mission, it is what I should do.”
“No, it’s different.”
Elder Yan Xin looked at him deeply, “That Flame Dragon was at the peak of the ninth rank. The fact that you were able to save us from its claws shows a strength and courage far beyond what ordinary guards should do.”
He paused, then added: “Young friend, rest assured, the Earth Fire Pavilion will give you a satisfactory explanation for today’s events.”
“Double the reward is the bare minimum. In addition, you can choose three treasures from the Earth Fire Pavilion’s treasury. I will also personally inquire about the clues to the Earth Core Jade Marrow Milk for you.”
This promise was truly weighty.
Kai clasped his hands in thanks: “Thank you, Elder.”
