Dragon Tamer-Chapter 755 - 759: Lei Dragon

Chapter 755: Chapter 759: Lei Dragon

Finally, the Red Sky Beast could no longer contain itself.

Even if it wanted to continue, it no longer had the energy to deploy its predictive left eye. Deprived of this divine skill, its reactions became extremely sluggish, its dodges no longer so flawless—resembling a wild beast in a cage that had been poked blind, possessing nothing but brute strength.

Zhu Minglang and Linghu Ling acted together, inflicting serious injury on the Red Sky Beast.

“It’s planning to run again,” Wu Xiao said.

He had been carefully watching the entire time. However, this time the Red Sky Beast, seemingly driven to desperation, suddenly erupted with a speed more than three times faster than before. Whether it had been conserving its energy all this time, or it was the final burst of potential at the end of its life, was uncertain.

It streaked across like a piercing red lightning bolt, with its feathered wings on its back flapping with tremendous force.

...

Not only did the Red Sky Beast burst through the heavy shackle spell of the Nuwa Dragon, but it also shattered the intertwined root nests over its head.

“This is bad!” Wu Xiao shouted.

“Told you not to be negligent!” Mr. Jinli couldn’t help but criticise Wu Xiao from the side.

Wu Xiao’s face was filled with shame; he never expected the Red Sky Beast to be so cunning, that its previously defeated state was all a ruse.

Once it took to the sky, the Red Sky Beast was essentially free after breaking away from their hold. Once it fully recovered its spirit and vitality, trying to use this method of trapping a cornered beast to kill it would be exceedingly difficult.

The moment the Red Sky Beast escaped its prison, Zhu Minglang and Linghu Ling had already given chase.

Linghu Ling was visibly faster, her Flying Swords forming a splendid sword formation underneath her feet, with stream-like azure light supporting the Flying Swords!

“Miss Linghu, don’t let it get away,” Zhu Minglang called from behind. He had already directed the Moon Blessing White Dragon and the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon to flank from both sides. If Linghu Ling could just stop it, the Red Sky Beast was bound to die.

However, the Red Sky Beast was not the kind of foolish beast that allowed itself to be slaughtered. Its last burst of escape potential was astonishing, and even at full strength, Linghu Ling still couldn’t catch up to it.

Linghu Ling scattered the Flying Swords that were around her, but they still fell just a bit short of reaching their target.

“No good, I can’t touch it,” Linghu Ling said.

“Keep after it!” Zhu Minglang shouted loudly.

Zhu Minglang kept his eyes firmly on the Red Sky Beast. How could a duck that was ready for the pot fly so fast!

“ROOOAAAR~~~~~~~”

Suddenly, amidst the upside-down curtain of rain, a beast with a human face and a dragon body burst forth without warning. It had a long and strong body, and claws comparable to those of a Divine Eagle.

The human-faced dragon charged directly at the Red Sky Beast, first releasing golden lightning at it, then clamped down on the Red Sky Beast with its foreclaws, pulling the creature, paralyzed by the electric shocks, into the higher skies!!

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!!!”

Endless golden lightning wildly danced in the heavy rain, and the dark world instantly brightened up as if it were daytime. The terrifying golden thunderbolts shattered the surrounding mountains into pieces.

As if it were a Daluo Golden Immortal undergoing tribulation, the shocking and horrifying scene made Linghu Ling hesitate to move forward. She watched the ferocious ancient dragon with a human face, looking extremely unwilling to give up.

“Lei Dragon!!” From a distance, Wu Xiao exclaimed.

In a world bathed by a torrential downpour, the Lei Dragon, traversing in golden lightning, was like a Heavenly God on patrol. All creatures paled in significance under its tremendous aura, as if they were mere prey to be captured with ease!

Zhu Minglang caught up to Linghu Ling and saw that she seemed ready to confront the Lei Dragon. He advised, “We probably won’t catch up to the Red Sky Beast now. Falling into the hands of this Lei Dragon isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”

“But we’ve struggled so long and hard, only for the Lei Dragon to snatch it away at the end!” Linghu Ling was furious. She had given up so much beauty sleep, and she desperately needed the Spirit Root of the Red Sky Beast.

“It’s fine, it’s quite a coincidence actually,” Zhu Minglang said.

“What’s the coincidence?” Linghu Ling turned to look at Zhu Minglang, not understanding why he was so composed.

In the past ten or so days, they had been expending more than just their energy. If they couldn’t quickly break through the current stalemate, they would soon be left behind by other gods. Being one step ahead was crucial in Dragon Gate.

“Didn’t I tell you before that I had my sights set on a prey too?” Zhu Minglang instead laughed.

“You’ve set your sights on this Lei Dragon???” Linghu Ling was surprised.

Zhu Minglang nodded his head.

The Lei Dragon belonged to the Purple Dragon lineage, and Mr. Jinli’s perfect choice for a Purple Dragon was the Lei Dragon.

But the Lei Dragon within Dragon Gate was different from those outside; this was a true Lei Dragon God. Taming it was not very likely.

It was precisely because he was interested in the Lei Dragon that Zhu Minglang had set his sights on this Lei Dragon God early on.

“Let the Red Sky Beast temporarily keep it in its stomach as we make some adjustments, then we’ll take its Spirit Root as well,” Zhu Minglang said to Linghu Ling.

“We already had some difficulty dealing with the Red Sky Beast, and the strength of the Lei Dragon is even greater than that,” Linghu Ling observed.

The power of the Lei Dragon was extremely terrifying; it must be the ruler of this high and vast sky. Taking down the Lei Dragon would definitely not be an easy task.

“I’ve done my homework. I know the habits of the Lei Dragon, its lair, and even its hunting methods,” Zhu Minglang’s eyes shimmered with a glint.

To Linghu Ling, this look made no difference from that of a cunning old fox. Suddenly, she realized something and started to scrutinize Zhu Minglang seriously, feeling that Zhu Minglang didn’t seem surprised by the sudden appearance of the Lei Dragon at all.

“You also understand the hunting methods of the Lei Dragon, then the situation just now…” Linghu Ling was clever and immediately felt that things might not be as simple as they seemed.

“Ah, okay, I admit it, I deliberately lured the Lei Dragon here,” Zhu Minglang confessed.

“You!!” Anger flashed in Linghu Ling’s beautiful eyes.

“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. As you saw just now, even with all our strength, there was still a great chance for the Red Sky Beast to escape, given its particular abilities and the fact that it is a difficult catch. So, I was thinking, why not use the Red Sky Beast to fish for the Lei Dragon?” Zhu Minglang explained.

“You actually used my prey as bait!!” Linghu Ling was furious, because he was indeed a cunning wolf!

“You can’t trap a wolf if you’re not willing to risk your child. One Red Sky Beast isn’t enough for the three of us to share. If we want to stay ahead at the highest tiers and lead the other divine beings, we can’t be too careful; we need to play a big game!” Zhu Minglang declared.

“So you suddenly stopped being a loner, just to use our prey as your bait?” Linghu Ling said.

“It’s the same idea, but you could say that I’ve devised a plan to hunt the Dragon God, which can’t be accomplished alone, so I asked for your help to make it happen…” Zhu Minglang replied.

“I just have one question for you, did you also release something to attract the Lei Dragon when we were dealing with the Kui Dragon God Tree?” Linghu Ling asked critically.

“The Lei Dragon doesn’t seem to like plain tastes…” Zhu Minglang scratched his head, answering honestly.

“You are simply… deceitful!” Linghu Ling thought for a while and finally found this word to describe Zhu Minglang.

“I am deceitful, but only towards enemies, never towards my allies. You might be angry, but have you ever considered that if we really take down the Lei Dragon, it would mean we’re among the leading cultivators on Mount Zhi Tian? Whether or not we become True Gods, our cultivation bases will skyrocket, reaching heights that some Little Gods would have to look up to,” Zhu Minglang patiently explained to Linghu Ling.

Linghu Ling was not a stubborn person.

The idea that Zhu Minglang’s prey could be the Lei Dragon was something that Linghu Ling had never dared to consider before. After all, with the strength of the Lei Dragon, even if her cultivation base increased, she would still have to go around the Lei Dragon.

“If we’re going to cooperate, I hope you won’t deceive us again in the future!” Linghu Ling huffed.

She accepted the situation, but she was still upset.

Why should Zhu Minglang use her targeted prey as bait? She felt like she had been manipulated as well!

If it weren’t for Zhu Minglang’s proven usefulness among the Divine Chosen, Linghu Ling really wouldn’t want to travel with such a cunning individual.

“Rest assured, I, Zhu Minglang, never stab friends in the back,” Zhu Minglang emphasized once more, his face showing a gentle smile.

…

Upon returning to the mountaintop, Linghu Ling, still holding onto her anger, found a quiet spot to rest on her own.

With a face full of shame, Wu Xiao jogged up to her, carrying that lush green Companion Tree.

“It’s my fault; I was too careless. I will compensate for the loss you all suffered this time with tree fruits, but it will take some time for my Companion Tree to bear fruit again,” Wu Xiao said.

Just as Zhu Minglang was about to clarify the situation for Wu Xiao, seeing Wu Xiao so sincere, he showed a degree of magnanimity, “No worries, it’s fine. After we rest and reorganize, if we take down the Lei Dragon, then we haven’t lost anything.”

“That makes sense!” Wu Xiao’s eyes immediately lit up again, and he appeared eager to try.

Zhu Minglang patted Wu Xiao on the shoulder and said nothing more, making his way over to Bai Qi, then he comfortably fell asleep on the White Dragon’s mane, which was like tassels of silk.

Bai Qi coiled its body into a large circular bed; usually, it transformed into a mini Little White Dragon, lying on Zhu Minglang and sleeping like a little white pig. Now it was time to return the favor.

Exhausted himself, Wu Xiao planted his Companion Tree onto the ground and then leaned against it, falling asleep shortly afterward.

Not long after closing his eyes, Wu Xiao opened them again and looked at his own cold, hard Companion Tree, then at the noble, silver-white, and soft Companion White Dragon, his gaze filled with a touch of envy.

Everyone was a divine being, but why was there such a difference in flair?

“This guy might seem sly and crafty on the surface, but he’s not bad at heart. If it were the brothers from Xianyun Hall, just making a small mistake would get me scolded horribly and kicked out of the team,” Wu Xiao thought to himself.
