Chapter 370 Elegy of the Dragon
“You’re right. I am weak.”
A touch of sadness was hiding in the smile on her face. She was talking to Yan Bingyue and at the same time, to herself.
Yan Bingyue was surprised by Su Lingyue’s reaction.
The former became highly alerted.
She could tell that the roar was getting closer to her. She couldn’t afford to let Su Lingyue continue. Yan Bingue circled behind Su Lingyue, keeping the sword on her neck. Yan Bingyue wiggled her sword a bit and a thin cut appeared on Su Lingyue’s neck. That was a warning!
“Resign, or you will die!”
Hearing the cold voice coming from behind her, Su Lingyue put on an even bigger smile but sorrow was engraved in her eyes, as well as a trace of pride!
“Not even Frosty can protect me.”
“I am the one who drags them down. No one can save me when I’m this weak.”
“But...”
Su Lingyue slowly turned her head although the sword was still on her neck. She turned her head and stared at the cold but stunning face and that pair of blood-red eyes filled with killing intent.
In Su Lingyue’s eyes, fear had disappeared. She was still wearing a smile, a smile that showed she was determined to face death unflinchingly.
Yan Bingyue stared blankly at the girl. “However weak I am, there is still someone that I want to protect...”
ever
meone
She said, smilingly.
Then, she grabbed the sword by its blade.
Yan Bingyue squinted her eyes.
She suddenly realized what the girl was going to do.
“According to the rules, if you kill me, you would be disqualified...” Su Lingyue seemed to be relieved and at the same time, unwilling to let go of the world. Gazing at her shocked opponent, Su Lingyue whispered, “I am sorry, but we have to get the championship...” At that moment, what Su Lingyue was thinking about was the promise to win the championship.
About the words that Su Ping said to her at the branch venues during the mass selection.
You cannot be merciful!
You have to win the championship!
Or else the store’s reputation would be jeopardized!
When that happened, their competitors would strike while the iron was still hot and their entire family could be in danger!
Unknowingly, she had remembered Su Ping’s words and never questioned him.
Unknowingly, she had begun to respect and trust her older brother who she had once belittled!
It was because she had followed his advice that she had made it thus far.
But she had lost this time, indeed.
That being said, Xu Kuang was still there.
He was another one who bought the store’s services.
Su Lingyue thought that if she could have Yan Bingyue disqualified, then there was a good chance that Xu Kuang could win first place.
Granted, she wouldn’t be the champion but Xu Kuang could still help in salvaging some reputation for the store...
The only thing she could do right then was to drag Yan Bingyue down with her so that Xu Kuang didn’t have to fight Yan Bingyue!
Yan Bingyue was astounded to see the determination to die in the eyes of the girl.
Is she crazy?
Was it even worthwhile just to win a prize?
What was the difference between the second place and the first place?
Yan Bingyue was fighting for the first place because that was always her only target.
But why would the girl be so fixated on the first place?
What was the point of winning the championship when she wouldn’t even have a life for it?
Just for the vanity?!
That was insane!
Yan Bingyue found it hard to understand. As the initial stage of shock passed away, she became furious.
“Is this your last resort?” Yan Bingyue bit her teeth. Her eyes were full of contempt and anger. “You truly are a disappointing loser. Your death shall not be regretted!”
Su Lingyue remained calm. Nothing Yan Bingyue said could change her heart at this moment. No amount of ridicule would make her feel inferior anymore!
She had made up her mind.
The one last thing she wanted to do was to give another look at the person in the audience.
She wanted to look at her mom again.
Mom must be sitting in front of the TV and seeing her good-for-nothing daughter, Su Lingyue thought to herself. She bit even harder into her lips. Blood seeped into her mouth and she could feel the bitterness.
She didn’t turn to the audience to have that one last look because she no longer had the time.
Bang!
She summoned her astral powers all of a sudden and threw herself at Yan Bingyue’s sword as fast as she could.
“Hmm, I said your death shall not be regretted but do not, for a second, think that you can kill yourself so easily in front of me!”
Yan Bingyue grinned a sardonic grin. She twisted her sword and cut off the fingers Su Lingyue used to grip the sword. Then, Yan Bingyue took her sword back and waved her hand.
She slapped Su Lingyue. Su Lingyue’s cheek turned red and swollen. Several teeth fell out, with traces of blood on them.
Yan Bingyue used so much strength that Su Lingyue felt her brain was buzzing and her eyes lost focus for a second. She was merely at the fifth rank. If it weren’t for the fact that she had started to work on the Glaze Bulwark, which had strengthened her physical quality, that slap would have knocked her unconscious.
Yan Bingyue raised her hand and grabbed Su Lingyue’s hair.
Whoosh!
Yan Bingyue dashed over and used her sword to cut through the other side of the Goddess of Ice!
Bang. Almost at the exact same time, the Moonfrost Dragon had smashed down on where the two girls were. The entire Goddess of Ice cracked.
Roar!!
S
The dragon shouted in fury. However, the dragon saw the person that the girl held in her hand. At that sight, the dragon held down the urge to run forward and stopped.
Over a dozen meters away, Yan Bingyue stood there and she was dragging Su Lingyue with her hand. She had sheathed her sword. She yanked Su Lingyue’s hair in one hand, standing in the world of ice proudly.
Without the protection of the Goddess of Ice, everyone was seeing this.
Silence fell in the venue.
Everyone was struck dumb with astonishment. No one could believe this.
No one could believe that Yan Bingyue could break a ninth-rank defensive skill without leaving a trace and subdue Su Lingyue within an instant.
Ever since the first battle, Su Lingyue had been relying on her dragon; she had never revealed her strength.
However, since Ye Longtian and Qin Shaotian had demonstrated formidable combat skills, some had come to the belief that Su Lingyue was quite the fighter herself.
But since her dragon could take care of everything, she didn’t need to step forward. But the truth was...
She was dragged away like a dead dog. That scene confused many.
Yan Bingyue was powerful. But how come Su Lingyue had no ability to fight back at all?!
Su Lingyue’s fans were unwilling to believe this. They were equally sad and surprised.
“You want to die...”
Yan Bingyue heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the dragon stopped on the spot. She put on a grin, flew up and yanked Su Lingyue’s hair, dragging her off the ground as well.
She was flying!
Everyone was as mute as a fish!
Countless people stood up out of instinct!
She was... a titled battle pet warrior?!!
Even some participants, including Xu Kuang, Qin Shaotian, as well as the teachers from the famous academies were standing up, watching this unimaginable scene.
Flying was unique to titled battle pet warriors. But they were seeing a girl doing it right there. Yan Bingyue was using that skill!
Was she a titled battle pet warrior?
The family heads’ frowns tightened but they seemed to be less shocked. They all noticed the strange energy patterns in Yan Bingyue’s skin. They had developed a theory. They could tell that she was flying because of a special method. In fact, flying was not exclusive to titled battle pet warriors. There were many secret skills that a person could use to fly but they were rare. That was why people usually thought flying was unique to titled battle pet warriors.
The two judges raised their guards. They looked at each other and saw how they shared the same fear. This girl was intimidating!
Yan Bingyue flew up to the sky.
She slowly stopped. She looked around and saw how stunned everyone was. She grinned a scornful grin. The puny people from this small place do lack experience and knowledge. “You would rather die to have me disqualified. You are crazy, there’s definitely something wrong with your brain. Let me make sure of it then!”
Yan Bingyue’s smile was cruel. “There is something much more painful than death. What do you think if I take your clothes off and then cut you with my sword, piece by piece?”
In her hand, Su Lingyue’s cheek was swollen and her eyes milky. Upon hearing this threat, clarity came back to her eyes. She turned pale. This was too much of a humiliation.
She stared at the dragon on the stage. Suddenly, she thought of an idea.
She gave an order.
Attack!
The Moonfrost Dragon could not believe this was the order. The killing intent ebbed in its eyes and in its place was sorrow and indignation.
The Moonfrost Dragon’s mind was not sophisticated enough to understand that this was a competition. The dragon merely knew that this was a fight.
There would be deaths and blood in a fight.
At the moment, the dragon could feel that its master could die at any time.
Sadness, anger, and frustration occupied the heart of the Moonfrost Dragon. It was no longer a furious wrath. It was an endless pain. The Moonfrost Dragon was not moving. Su Lingyue was surprised. For a moment, she was not sure if she should be angry or happy. But soon, she pulled a long face and yelled on her mind, “Attack!”
The Moonfrost Dragon was trembling. The order came through from the contract. The dragon could feel that its body was going to follow the order uncontrollably.
But it couldn’t do this!!
You are my only master. How could I attack you!!
It was my fault that I could not protect you. How could I destroy you?
Forgive me but I cannot do this!!
Roar!!!
The Moonfrost Dragon suddenly shouted a deafening shout. It fought back the compelling force of the contract. The dragon was shaking and its scales were falling.
There were two results when a battle pet went against the order. Either the master would be hurt, physically and spiritually, or the battle pet would have to shoulder consequences and lose its life!
The Moonfrost Dragon was choosing the latter.
It could no longer allow any more harm to befall onto Su Lingyue when it had already failed to protect her!
Su Lingyue froze when she saw blood coming out from the Moonfrost Dragon!
That was a scene that dumbfounded countless others.
The dragon...
It was choosing the second way. It would rather lose its life than carrying out its master’s orders!!
Yan Bingyue was just as surprised as anyone else. She never expected that the relationship between the dragon and Su Lingyue would be so deep! “No!!”
Tears coursed down her cheeks. Su Lingyue lost control and cried out loud.
What did she do?
What the hell did she do!!
She immediately canceled the order but the effect of disobeying her order continued to cut through the Moonfrost Dragon!
Its towering figure shook and finally, the dragon got down on its knees.
Ever since the Moonfrost Dragon’s first appearance on the stage, the dragon had been showing the audience unmatchable strength. But in front of its master, in front of everyone, the dragon fell to its knees.
Like a heavy-armored knighting, the dragon knelt in front of its master, saving the last piece of dignity!
“Please, no!!!”
Su Lingyue shouted in tears.
Yan Bingyue looked away from the dragon and glared at Su Lingyue even more coldly. “That is the result of your actions. I’m so sorry for your dragon, having you as master. Do you want vanity? Do you want first place? Let everyone see how you save your dignity!”
Yan Bingyue put her hand on Su Lingyue’s clothes. She was going to rip her clothes apart.
It was at that moment when Su Lingyue had a strange feeling
It was an odd feeling that made her shudder with fear. It was as if a viper had snuck into her heart. She was forced to stop.
In the meanwhile, someone shouted, word by word, in a deep but violent voice.
“Let, go, of, her!”
It was like a demon was crying in hell.
That profound evil feeling made everyone turn their gazes from the dragon to the source of that voice.
A person was flying on its way to the seal.
A titled battle pet warrior?
It was inevitable that people would pay attention when a titled battle pet warrior came forward.
Zhou Tianlin and Zhou Tianguang were scared when they saw who the person that said those words was. They were getting a bad feeling.
“Eh?” Yin Fengxiao frowned. He could feel the energy in the person who was flying. The energy was not usually produced by titled battle pet warriors. Even if it was indeed a titled battle pet warrior, he had spoken rudely to Lady Yan. That had upset Yin Fengxiao.
“Teacher!”
Xu Kuang stood up instantly and stared at Su Ping, dumbstruck. He was aware that Su Ping was strong but unaware of the fact that he had reached the titled rank.
Qin Shaotian, Ye Longtian, as well as Mu Yuanshou were all taken aback.
Inside the seal, Yan Bingyue stood in the air. She saw this person flying toward the seal. The fact that the person was a young man surprised her but then she remembered there were secret ways for one to maintain a youthful look.
Yan Bingyue sneered. So, he was Su Lingyue’s connection.
Yan Bingyue found it natural that Su Lingyue would be helped by a titled battle pet warrior when she, such a weak girl, could have such a powerful dragon.
But a titled battle pet warrior meant nothing to her.
“He is your family, right?”
Yan Bingyue glared at Su Lingyue. “You had your chance to resign. But, that offer is off the table now.”
She paid no heed to the person outside the seal. She raised her hand, ready to slap Su Lingyue’s other cheek. She was going to crush Su Lingyue’s dignity.
as
That was the price Su Lingyue had to pay after upsetting her.
But her hand stopped in the air. She was sensing a life-threatening danger. It was as if she had become the target of a monster.
When she was trained in that place, this was a feeling that she usually got. But it had been a long time since she felt it, because she had become strong enough.
She looked up at that person. The first thing that jumped into her eyes was a pair of bloody-red eyes that spoke of his anger.
The seal was like a prison.
She was inside the seal but she felt she was outside the prison which held a vicious beast.
All of a sudden, she was almost glad that the seal was there.
But that gladness disappeared the next second.
“I told you... to let go of her!!”
The beast-bellowing-like voice reached her ears from outside the seal. Abruptly, Su Ping punched the seal forcefully!
His fist glowed radiantly as he threw the punch!
Bang!!!
The entire seal began to shake and then collapsed. The energy escaped as a huge hole appeared in the seal!
