Chapter 2466: Killing the Yellow Dragon

Zu An was acquainted with Mojard, but he only knew the latter as a perverted old man who was fond of little girls. It was hard to believe that his name had once been spoken alongside that of the Monster Lord. It was only after coming to this era that he truly felt the Incestuous King’s prowess: The latter was both tenacious and farsighted. If not for Zu An’s abrupt arrival, the Ocean races would have been crippled by now. Even now that Zu An was here, there was no guarantee that he could unravel all of the Incestuous King’s schemes.

“The Soulfall Bell must be formidable to bring down the Four Dragon Kings,” the Mermaid Queen muttered worriedly.

Zu An replied, “Let’s rescue the Four Dragon Kings first before the enemy realizes we've escaped from the Eye of the Ocean. Otherwise, things will only get tougher.”

Once they learned that the two had slipped through the seal, Mojard and the Aurora Poison Dragon would prepare more means to deal with them. For the time being, they probably wouldn’t be expecting Zu An and the Mermaid Queen to have escaped from the seal so quickly, so this was an opening for them to capitalize on.

“Ask them where the Four Dragon Kings are imprisoned,” Zu An said.

The Mermaid Queen nodded. She repeated the question to the assassins; the latter, slaves to her charm, divulged everything they knew.

Zu An’s group made their way to where the Four Dragon Kings were imprisoned. The Peacock Princess was worried this would be too reckless, since they were outnumbered. Little did she expect Zu An to say, “I'm a one-man army, anyway.”

The Peacock Princess’ eyes glowed in amazement.

That’s true. Big brother might not make a move often, but he always emerges victorious in in every battle. There’s no one in the Ocean races who is a match for him.

The Xuan-Su Guards exchanged looks.

As expected of the man our princess fancies. His bragging skills are something we can’t hope to match.

Their group soon arrived at the Dragon Palace. Before Zu An descended into the Eye of the Ocean, the palace had been buzzing with life, but it was hard to spot even a single guard now. The poison formation had to have been truly formidable to have brought down most of the people in the Dragon Palace.

The scenery only changed when they approached the East Sea Dragon King’s sleeping chamber. A melody filled the air from nearby, and beautiful maids could be seen dancing from afar.

However, the one in the main seat wasn’t the East Sea Dragon King, but a black-robed dragon with two horns on his head. He looked younger and more suave than the East Sea Dragon King, but he emanated a coldness that left others feeling uncomfortable. He sat on the royal throne in an unruly fashion, laughing as he said, “Serve me well, and I’ll give you whatever the East Sea Dragon King previously gave you. I’ll also give you what he couldn’t give you.”

“Thank you, master!” The maids bowed before continuing the dance to showcase their most beautiful, graceful selves.

The black-robed dragon lay in the arms of a clam woman, occasionally opening his mouth to allow his female attendants to feed him fruits. He felt blissful, thinking that this was life’s peak.

The Mermaid Queen recognized him and roared, “Aurora Poison Dragon, how dare you?!”

The Aurora Poison Dragon was infuriated to have someone roar at him, but when he realized that the other party was the beautiful Mermaid Queen, he chuckled gleefully. “You came at a good time, Mermaid Queen. I haven’t decided on my wife yet. Just give the nod, and you’ll only be second to me among the Ocean races.”

“Dream on!” The Mermaid Queen was livid. Even the East Sea Dragon King treated her with the utmost respect, yet this lackey of the Nortth Sea Dragon King dared to utter such disrespectful words to her.

The Aurora Poison Dragon licked his lips and sneered, “The Four Dragon Kings have become a thing of the past. I will be the sole king of the Ocean races. My queen, I suggest you lower your head if you don’t want anything to happen to your Mermaid race.”

The Mermaid Queen’s face darkened. No matter how the Ocean races’ experts fancied her, they followed the rules and gave her the respect she deserved on the surface. And yet, this unscrupulous fellow would stoop this low to make her his!

“You 're the Aurora Poison Dragon?” Zu An walked out from behind the Mermaid Queen.

“Hah! How dare you address me by my name? Who do you think...” The Aurora Poison Dragon was halfway through his sentence when he saw Zu An’s appearance and swallowed his remaining words. “How did you get out?”

“You thought you could seal me in? What a pity your seal was insufficient,” Zu An replied calmly.

The Aurora Poison Dragon was horrified. He hurriedly reached for a bell in his robe and rang it.

As the ringing echoed, everyone in the room clutched their heads. Even the Mermaid Queen struggled to stand her ground. She recalled the Four Dragon Kings’ plight.

This must be the Soulfall Bell. It’s formidable indeed!

The Aurora Poison Dragon rang it thrice. As he saw everyone stumbling onto the floor, he sneered, “As expected of the Soulfall Bell.”

He walked up to the Mermaid Queen and stared at the latter’s gorgeous face with adoring eyes. “My queen’s beauty knows no bounds. The East Sea Dragon King was a fool to not make you his. Now that I am king, I’ll make you mine.”

He reached for the Mermaid Queen’s face. The latter was in such a groggy state that she was unable to move despite being aware of what was happening. She could only watch as that disgusting hand slowly approached her.

While she was in despair, however, a hand suddenly shot out from the side and grabbed the Aurora Poison Dragon’s wrist.

The Aurora Poison Dragon was taken aback. He turned to Zu An and exclaimed, “How are you still able to move?”

“The Soulfall Bell is a potent weapon against souls, but it has a limit. Mojard would never have given it to you if it were unbeatable,” Zu An pointed out with a smile.

When the Soulfall Bell struck earlier, his Hundredwarble’s skill had activated automatically and neutralized its effect. But with the Dragon Palace under the Aurora Poison Dragon’s control, he'd been worried that the other party had other tricks up his sleeves, so he had decided to play along for a moment. However, he thought,

This fellow is too lustful. He made his way straight to the Mermaid Queen. It would be too much if I continued holding back.

The Aurora Poison Dragon’s face darkened. He had heard about Zu An’s prowess and realized that he wouldn’t be a match for the latter. However, his strength had never lay in direct combat anyway.

A thick black fog suddenly puffed out from him and crept down his arms toward Zu An’s body. The Aurora Poison Dragon sneered, “No one dares to touch my body directly. I wouldn’t have been a match for you, but you courted your own death. Don’t blame me for this.”
