Chapter 465: Chapter 464: The Disgrace of the Dragon Clan (Two-in-One)

The sudden flash turned the entire business district bright as day in an instant, and the subsequent boom resonated through Bin City’s night sky.

At the top of the 500-meter-tall trade building, flames and smoke tumbled, occasionally ejecting meteor-like fireballs.

The debris in the center of the fireballs turned into thick smoke and dissipated due to the high temperature, with only a few hitting the crowd below.

The dispersing crowd stopped in their tracks, looking up at the trade building.

The little fatty’s eyes reflected the blazing fireballs as he shouted loudly, “Earth Spirit Dog, block them!”

“Woof!”

The half-human-height Earth Spirit Dog leaped into the air, its teeth glittering with a cold light, fiercely biting into the falling fireballs.

Its body flipped several times in mid-air before landing steadily on the ground, its movements crisp and precise.

Other fireballs were also intercepted by other people’s pets.

“Yessi, well done!”

The little fatty excitedly swung his fist.

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, the Earth Spirit Dog’s mouthful of fireball suddenly exploded, and the sparks that spattered were very noticeable in the night.

It shuddered all over and stiffened on the spot, billowing black smoke pouring out of its mouth.

“Woo~~”

While the little fatty comforted the Earth Spirit Dog, the others started whispering among themselves as the clamor died down.

“Did the Duke win?”

“He must have won, right? That blast just now looked more impressive than anything in the movies.”

“The young people of today are really something, if I had a daughter that would be nice, but unfortunately, I have a disappointing son.”

The scruffy-bearded uncle looked down at his own son and, the more he watched, the angrier he got until he slapped him.

“Good-for-nothing.”

The boy who had been admiring Shao Zifeng was immediately dumbfounded. He looked at his father in disbelief and burst into tears with a loud wail.

The crying drew the attention of many people, and those whose moods had relaxed showed friendly smiles, as if the disaster had already passed.

Lingling floated above the crowd, looking up at Qiuqiu with a worried expression. As a mutant creature, it could sense clearly that the opponent’s rank was higher than Qiuqiu’s.

Whoosh whoosh~

In the night sky, Qiuqiu flapped its fiery dragon wings, its golden-red eyes reflecting the roaring flames.

The inferno of the building didn’t last too long, and the thick smoke was quickly dispersed by the night wind, revealing the damaged trade building below.

The main body of the trade building wasn’t too severely damaged, with only a three-meter-wide gap caused by the explosion, where molten steel and glass mixed together, forming a wax-like drip that slowly cooled.

Shao Zifeng felt a bit of a headache when he saw the gap.

He was just too infuriated earlier and impetuously let Qiuqiu blow up the building.

Now that he had calmed down, he wondered if he would be chased for compensation after damaging someone’s landmark building like that.

This thought flashed through Shao Zifeng’s mind but was quickly dismissed. Because now there were more important things to deal with; that woman and her dragon had disappeared.

Although the strike just now contained Qiuqiu’s suppressed rage, to be honest, such an intensity of attack wasn’t enough to cause substantial damage to the Poison Fire Flying Dragon.

It was like the previous encounter at the reception area, except this time the Poison Fire Flying Dragon had an extra burden on it.

“Qiuqiu, be careful,” Shao Zifeng said.

“Hmm~”

Qiuqiu nodded its head, quickly absorbing the free fire elements around to heal its wounds.

The wind was strong in the night sky over five hundred meters high, and the night wind poured into the trade building through the gap, making a ghostly howling noise that drowned out everything but its wailing.

Shao Zifeng closed his eyes, entering his perception state.

Having had the experience before, he was now extremely cautious when using this ability, slowly expanding the range of his perception.

Suddenly, Shao Zifeng’s eyes snapped open: “Qiuqiu, down there!”

“Grr–”

Crash!

The facade of the Trade Building bulged outwards, and amidst countless glinting shards of glass, a strangely shaped giant insect opened its mouthparts, aiming for Qiuqiu’s belly.

Thanks to Shao Zifeng’s warning, Qiuqiu flapped its fire-breathing dragon wings, scrambling higher to avoid the giant insect’s surprise attack.

Before the two could react, another gust of wind came from above.

“Roar!”

Qiuqiu, still unable to muster new strength, was too slow to react and was viciously grabbed on the head by a highly toxic claw, blood spilling as several scales shattered. Then turned around, and with a flick of its long dragon tail, struck Qiuqiu hard.

Qiuqiu’s body shook violently, and under the impact of the giant power, it rocketed away like a missile, trailing red explosions behind it before finally crashing heavily onto the rooftop of the opposite building, leaving a long skid mark and slamming into a water tank.

Bang!

The water tank exploded under the fierce impact, and the confined water immediately gushed out, turning into steam that enshrouded the rooftop when it met the high temperature.

As the strange insect emerged from the Trade Building, the murmurs of the crowd slowly died down.

The chubby boy’s face showed despair, “Why is this happening.”

Anxious, Lingling waved her staff, and the street began to tremble violently; stout thorn vines burst forth from the earth.

Lingling’s Elemental Body was not capable of flying 500 meters into the air. In her urgency, she thought to use the vines to lift herself up.

At this moment, a series of phone rings erupted from the crowd.

The chubby boy ended the call with a joyful expression and shouted, “Secretary, sir, the higher-ups have ordered Duke to act freely and ensure your own protection.”

The growth of the thorn vines halted abruptly, and Lingling turned her gaze towards Shao Zifeng, her starry eyes twinkling with luster.

Sizzle.

Qiuqiu, holding Shao Zifeng in its arms, curled up on the rooftop while cold water dripped onto its scale armor, sending wisps of steam into the air.

“Woo~”

Qiuqiu stretched out its body, nudging Shao Zifeng anxiously with its big head.

At the critical moment, it had instinctively activated its racial trait to curl up into a ball; its defense skills coupled with the spherical form’s force dispersal meant that it actually didn’t sustain much damage.

It just didn’t know whether Shao Zifeng, protected inside, could withstand it.

“I’m okay.”

Shao Zifeng opened his eyes, touched the wound on Qiuqiu’s face, and his hand emitted a glowing green light.

“I thought you had matured, but it turns out you’re still the same.”

A cold voice fell, and the building trembled slightly with a cracking sound. The howling wind instantly swept away the lingering steam, and the Poison Fire Flying Dragon, carrying the woman, looked down at Shao Zifeng. The rooftop’s edge revealed an ugly head, wrinkled and covered in coarse hair, dotted with dozens of eyes.

“If it were me, the moment I decided to attack, I wouldn’t give the enemy any chance, yet all you see is this tiny building.”

Shao Zifeng looked at her and suddenly laughed, “Doesn’t being so high up make you cold?”

The young lady’s gaze turned icy, and scanning her tattered clothes, she realized the steel attacks had not injured her, but her clothing and hair had paid the price.

Under the tattered coat, her fair skin was clearly visible, marking the first time she had ever suffered such humiliation in her life.

“I’ll see how much longer you can act so arrogantly, kill him for me.”

“Wait a minute,” Shao Zifeng suddenly interrupted.

A mocking smile appeared on the young lady’s lips, “Are you scared?”

“Not at all,” Shao Zifeng replied as he stood up from the ground, bowing his head to brush off the dirt on his body, “I just happen to agree with something you said just now.”

“What’s that?” The young lady was taken aback.

“That is, never give your enemy any chance.”

As he finished speaking, Shao Zifeng raised his head, and his two pupils turned a sinister purple-red.

“Roar!”

As a majestic roar sounded, the entire rooftop was engulfed in purple-red flames.

The young lady was startled, “Xiao Du, stop him!”

“Roar!”

The Poison Fire Flying Dragon’s eerie green vertical pupils flickered, flames spurting from the corners of its mouth, as it opened wide to unleash a green column of flame towards Shao Zifeng.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. The moment the column of flame entered the rooftop, it was engulfed by purplish-red fire.

Black particles within the purple flames voraciously devoured everything around, instantly consuming the Heart Scorcher Poison Flame.

The young mistress watched Shao Zifeng amidst the flames, her face a mix of light and shadow. The purplish-red flames grew more violent on the rooftop, causing the mutant creatures perched on the building to squirm uncomfortably.

She knew they couldn’t go on like this, “Attack the building.”

“Ugh”

The mutant creature received the order, its body contracting tightly, quickly covering the building’s walls with cracks. Pieces of concrete began to fall off, revealing the steel bars underneath, and the entire building seemed on the verge of collapse.

Just then, the purplish-red flames suddenly stopped expanding, rolled back almost as if the night wind itself had come to a halt.

Within the fire, a pair of wide, dark purple dragon wings unfolded, the fierce Scale Armor intermittently visible through the swirling fire elements.

Crack!

The craggy Dragon Claw stepped forward, shattering blocks of concrete with its razor-sharp talons.

Once the purplish-red flames had all been absorbed, Qiuqiu emerged on the rooftop in a new form.

It was significantly larger than before, its whole body a subdued shade of purple-black; the Scale Armor and bones were broader and more pointed, and a row of bony spines had grown along its lengthy tail.

The expansive dragon wings spread with pride, its wing membrane somewhat resembling that of the Poison Fire Flying Dragon with jagged edges.

Whoosh–

A gust of hot air expelled from its nostrils, Qiuqiu’s indifferent gaze turned towards the mutant creature.

The mutant creature trembled violently all over, its previously constricted body slowly relaxing as it quickly dove down from the rooftop, eager to escape the place.

Shao Zifeng’s eyes matched Qiuqiu’s in purplish-red color, his body swirling with black and purple particles.

He twisted his neck and said softly to the woman on the Poison Fire Flying Dragon, “You have your apprehensions too, don’t you? At the very least, you wouldn’t dare destroy things as you claimed, out of fear.”

“You!” Seemingly struck by Shao Zifeng’s words, the young mistress’s face betrayed her agitation.

Just as Shao Zifeng had said, she indeed did not dare to go too far, whether it was Han Jiugong or the citizens of Bin City.

Because in the invisible balance, there was a line that, if crossed, would deeply offend the Great Xia Empire.

Then, the Great Xia would retaliate at all costs, and even the force behind her would not be able to withstand it.

The reason she dared to toy with Shao Zifeng was simply that she could afford to be more shameless than him; of course, this shamelessness did not mean she dared cross the line.

Shao Zifeng didn’t care about her reaction and continued speaking, “But now it’s different. Just now, someone told me that these buildings can be rebuilt, and that I must protect myself at all costs.”

“So, are you prepared to die?”

Under normal circumstances, Shao Zifeng would not utter such arrogant words, but at that moment, he desperately needed to vent the frustration in his heart, “Qiuqiu, kill them.”

Qiuqiu nodded coldly, its dragon wings trembling slightly as its figure instantly vanished from the rooftop.

When it reappeared, it was already behind the mutant creature.

The mutant creature rapidly contracted to escape, and suddenly, a huge wound split open on its body, spewing out green viscous fluid as if it cost nothing.

“Ugh”

The night wind blew into the wound, gushing out even more fluid. The mutant creature howled in agony, the intense pain driving it to crazily smash into the building’s outer wall.

The infected Qiuqiu was utterly indifferent; it turned its head to look coldly at the mutant creature, its claws distorting with purplish-red energy.

Swish!

Several more claw marks appeared on the body of the mutant creature, with fire elements inside wildly colliding.

Boom boom boom!

Its massive body exploded repeatedly, with chunks of flesh and fluid scattering like rain in all directions.

The young mistress looked at Qiuqiu in its Ashen Flying Dragon form, her expression fluctuating.

Evolved?

No, that’s not right.

Evolution couldn’t possibly complete in such a short time.

But exactly what kind of ability could cause a pet to undergo such a massive change in such a short time?

Suddenly, Miss’s breathing became rapid.

She thought of a possibility.

Could this be the dragon she had been looking for?

When she looked at Qiuqiu again, her eyes were filled with fervor.

Get it.

She must get it!

Miss stretched out her hand and drew a space rift open, and a huge lizard crawled out once more.

Its whole body was a lime color, with cold, vertical pupils set into its narrow head, and its scales were fine and tightly knit, with a row of bone spurs standing tall along its spine.

“Attack!”

“Hiss!”

The lizard stuck out its black forked tongue, its cold eyes focusing on Shao Zifeng.

It opened its limbs to spread its patagium and glided toward Shao Zifeng.

“Qiuqiu!”

Seeing the woman summon another sixth-rank pet beast, Shao Zifeng jumped down from the balcony.

Qiuqiu stopped its attack on the mutant creature and, with a flap of its wings, drew an arc in mid-air, catching Shao Zifeng with precision.

Boom!

The giant lizard hit the wall like a rocket where Shao Zifeng had just been, its four claws gripping the wall tightly, its indifferent eyes gazing at Qiuqiu, which had already flown away.

Shao Zifeng turned his head, and in the corner of his eye, blue light points revolved.
