BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM-Chapter 553: Victory!

Chapter 553: Victory!

"He self-destructed—so what can he do to me?" the Northern Dragon King scoffed, his massive dragon form filled with disdain.

As he spoke, his gaze shifted toward Qingshan, who stood some distance away.

Seeing that none of the Three Dragon Kings had died, Qingshan felt a pang of regret over Gu He’s self-detonation.

However, his condition was currently far better than any of the Three Dragon Kings.

Upon hearing the Northern Dragon King’s mocking voice, he let out a fierce dragon roar and transformed into a Taixu Ancient Dragon just as massive as the other three.

At that moment, a thick silver bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the void again.

Before the stunned eyes of the Three Dragon Kings and Qingshan, the lightning morphed back into Gu He—completely unscathed, as if nothing had happened at all.

"Impossible!"

The Three Dragon Kings exclaimed in unison, utterly shocked to see Gu He return unharmed.

Naturally, they didn’t know that the Gu He who had self-destructed earlier was merely a projection.

When the projection’s time was about to end, Gu He chose to make it self-detonate to maximize its value.

The impact of the projection’s self-destruction was significant.

All three Dragon Kings had suffered heavy injuries, and with every passing second, their combat strength was dropping sharply.

Qingshan, although surprised to see Gu He emerge unhurt, was inwardly overjoyed.

With both his and Gu He’s current states, defeating the Three Dragon Kings was no longer a difficult task.

The next moment, Qingshan’s figure rapidly flashed toward the Three Dragon Kings.

The Dragon Kings, snapping out of their daze, opened their ferocious maws and unleashed three enormous beams of light, each hundreds of meters thick.

The beams erupted with a terrifying level of destructive power.

Even Gu He didn’t dare take them head-on.

As the three beams surged toward him, he pushed his movement technique to its absolute limit, narrowly dodging the trio of massive light pillars.

Boom!

The moment Gu He escaped the center of the encirclement, the three beams collided with each other, setting off a terrifying wave of energy.

“What?!”

Seeing their attacks miss, the Dragon Kings were visibly enraged.

In the next instant, Qingshan’s counterattack arrived with incredible speed.

Since the Northern Dragon King was closest, he took the brunt of it—an immense energy blast slammed into his already heavily wounded body, worsening his injuries further.

“Argh! Damn it!”

Sensing the worsening state of his body, the Northern Dragon King was furious.

He hadn’t expected that even with the Three Dragon Kings joining forces, they would lose to East Dragon Island.

Soon, the battle erupted into chaos once more.

Under these circumstances, both Qingshan and Gu He nearly had the power to take on two opponents each.

In one-on-one clashes, any of the Dragon Kings were being thoroughly suppressed.

It didn’t take long before the Three Dragon Kings’ injuries reached an extremely severe state.

At this level of trauma, it would likely take over a decade to fully recover.

“We can’t keep fighting! At this rate, we’ll die here today!”

“With those two on East Dragon Island, we won’t get another chance!”

Now completely demoralized, the Three Dragon Kings began to retreat.

“Retreat!”

The Western Dragon King forced down his inner fear and roared angrily, his figure rapidly pulling back.

Beside him, the Southern Dragon King, also panicked, quickly followed suit—both of them fleeing even faster than the Northern Dragon King.

"These two cowards!"

The Northern Dragon King, seeing the Western and Southern Dragon Kings begin to flee, immediately coughed up a mouthful of golden blood. His speed suddenly surged, and with a few blinks, he vanished into the void space.

Although Gu He possessed the combat strength of a three-star Dou Saint, the Three Dragon Kings were all at the late stage of three-star Dou Saint level. With their powerful Taixu Ancient Dragon physiques and mastery over spatial force, if the three of them wanted to escape, even Gu He couldn’t stop them.

"The Three Dragon Kings ran away!"

"Yeah, they actually lost!"

The moment the Three Dragon Kings fled, those still fighting desperately on East Dragon Island—such as Xuan Mo, Zhu Mu, and others—were immediately informed.

The moment they heard the news, chills ran down their spines. In the next instant, they shot into the air, fleeing in all directions along with several elders from the three islands. Staying any longer would be suicidal.

"Master is way too strong!"

Watching the tide of battle shift, Zi Yan’s heart surged with admiration for Gu He.

As the ancient dragons of the Three Dragon Islands fled in panic, Zhu Li and Zhu Mo did not give chase. Instead, they immediately began counting the casualties on East Dragon Island.

Thanks to the large supply of healing pills brought by Gu He, the losses on East Dragon Island in this battle were relatively minor.

"Your Majesty, Dragon Island is safe. The forces of the Three Dragon Islands have all retreated. However, quite a few of the ancient dragon clan members have chosen to stay with us on East Dragon Island," Zhu Mo reported respectfully to Zi Yan shortly after.

He was referring to those who had knelt earlier.

"Very well. Take them in for now but keep a close watch. Some of them may be spies from the Three Islands," Zi Yan nodded lightly.

"Yes. But what about the Three Dragon Kings?" The Grand Elder nodded in response, then hesitated. As long as the Three Dragon Kings lived, they would remain the greatest obstacle to unifying the ancient dragon clan.

"Zhu Mo, the Three Dragon Kings are already severely wounded. It will take them more than ten years to fully recover," Qingshan suddenly appeared in the sky above Dragon Island and spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, the entire Dragon Island erupted in cheers.

Afterward, Zhu Li, Zhu Mo, Qingshan, and the others quickly began explaining Gu He’s identity to the ancient dragon clan members of East Dragon Island.

Through their explanation, these clan members learned that Gu He had, with only a one-star Dou Saint cultivation level, defeated Dragon Kings who were late-stage three-star Dou Saints.

And the enormous number of highly effective healing pills had all come from Lord Dragon Emperor’s teacher.

At that moment, everyone on East Dragon Island looked at Gu He with eyes full of respect.
