All Things Are Contracts

Chapter 285: Death of a Genius

“You skulking rat, let me tear off your mask and see your ugly face!” Fan Longyu directly transformed into a dragon, his entire body covered in dragon scales. His hands and feet turned into dragon claws, with only his human face retaining human features. Facing a Spirit God Realm opponent, he naturally didn’t need to probe. He directly assumed his strongest form.

“So this is the power of a true dragon, dragon transformation? Interesting.” The man in the golden robe sized up Fan Longyu, not intimidated by his aura at all. “It’s time to see… my power!”

The man in the golden robe stretched out his hand, and a fiery red pearl floated in his palm.

The fiery red pearl in the man’s hand emitted a heart-palpitating hot aura, as if it contained boundless power. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and… disdain.

“Dragon? Let me see who the true dragon really is.” The man in the golden robe sneered coldly. The fiery red pearl in his hand began to slowly rotate, releasing powerful flame energy.

Fan Longyu’s expression was solemn. He could feel the oppressive force emanating from the man in the golden robe. It was a powerful energy from the Spirit God Realm, not something that could be compared to by ordinary people. What caught his attention even more was that pearl.

“Dragon… Pearl…” He didn’t expect that the covenant object of the person in front of him was actually the legendary Dragon Pearl. “Hmph, it seems you want to seize my dragon scales to nourish your Dragon Pearl with the aura of a true dragon.”

Fan Longyu guessed the man’s intentions and naturally flew into a rage. He let out a low shout, and his dragon claws fiercely swiped, carrying violent dragon force as it attacked the man in the golden robe.

A trace of disdain flashed in the man’s eyes. He wasn’t in a hurry to dodge. Instead, he coldly stretched out his palm and suspended the fiery red pearl in front of it.

As Fan Longyu’s attack approached, the man’s palm suddenly lifted. The fiery red pearl burst out with a dazzling light, transforming into a huge flame barrier, completely blocking Fan Longyu’s attack.

Fan Longyu frowned slightly. He didn’t expect the man in the golden robe to stop him so easily, but he didn’t give up. Instead, he focused his mind even more, preparing to launch a more powerful attack.

“Inheriting the bloodline of an ancient true dragon, is this all you’ve got?” The man in the golden robe said coldly. His eyes revealed a hint of disdain, as if mocking Fan Longyu’s incompetence.

Fan Longyu snorted coldly. His dragon claws moved again, and the violent dragon force converged into a huge dragon claw imprint, fiercely slamming towards the man in the golden robe. This time, he was determined to thoroughly defeat the man and display the true majesty of a dragon!

However, just as the dragon claw imprint was about to make contact with the man in the golden robe, a glint suddenly flashed in the man’s eyes. He seemed to have anticipated the direction of Fan Longyu’s attack and easily dodged this strike.

“Too naive.” The man in the golden robe snorted coldly. His figure flashed, and he quickly attacked Fan Longyu.

Fan Longyu’s expression changed slightly. He didn’t expect the man’s counterattack to be so fierce. Seeing the man’s attack about to arrive, he hurriedly mobilized his dragon wings and flapped to dodge.

The battle entered a white-hot stage. Fan Longyu and the man in the golden robe exchanged blows back and forth. Each collision stirred up scorching flames and violent dragon force, distorting and deforming the surrounding space.

Time passed in the battle. Fan Longyu gradually felt that the man’s strength far exceeded his imagination. He had no choice but to go all out, using all his power to resist the other party’s attacks.

“It’s no use. I’m no match for him.” Fan Longyu already had an answer in his heart. Four treasures suddenly appeared, floating around him. They were the four elemental pearls of earth, fire, water, and wind, forged by his four teachers and not ordinary treasures.

With a thought from Fan Longyu, the four pearls transformed into four divine dragons in the form of true dragons, guarding him.

Earth Dragon, Fire Dragon, Water Dragon, and Wind Dragon. They weren’t the kind of large lizards with wings, but the true ancient dragon form. This was Fan Longyu’s real life-saving method. He had never used it in front of outsiders before. At this moment, if it were an ordinary Spirit God Realm expert, they would probably die under the siege of him and the four “Illusory Dragons”.

“Oh? A technique outside of the information. As expected, a genius is indeed a genius.” The man in the golden robe wasn’t too surprised. He naturally wouldn’t think that Fan Longyu would be so easy to kill.

He charged in alone. Faced with the siege of one man and four dragons, he was still at ease. Fan Longyu gradually gained the upper hand, feeling that the man in the golden robe was already a bit stretched thin. He circled behind the man at an extremely fast speed. He had already seen that in the next moment, his dragon claws would pierce through the man’s body. However, at the critical moment, a strange face grew out of the man’s back. That thing didn’t look like a human face and had an indescribable eeriness. That thing stretched out its tongue at a speed invisible to the naked eye. The long tongue, like a sharp sword, pierced through Fan Longyu’s head under his surprised gaze. That head protected by dragon scales was now like tofu.

A dragon bloodline genius of a generation, the inheritor of a true dragon bloodline, had fallen.

“I… died?” Even in death, Fan Longyu still couldn’t believe it. His life was still long. He still had many things he wanted to do, goals to pursue, enemies to take revenge on, but unfortunately… everything ended. The man in the golden robe turned around and dug out that fiery red dragon scale from Fan Longyu’s body.

The four masterless dragons instantly self-destructed. The terrifying power destroyed everything around them. It’s just that the man in the golden robe’s body appeared outside the explosion as if teleporting.

“Thank you, Teacher. If you hadn’t taken action to kill him, it really wouldn’t have been easy. And that self-destruction technique… was also truly shocking.” The man in the golden robe revealed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. This dragon scale was a great nourishing item. The dragon scale’s aura was quickly absorbed by his Dragon Pearl. Finally… the legendary divine item, the dragon scale, turned into a gray, stone-like waste material. All the true dragon aura was absorbed by the Dragon Pearl.

“There’s no need… If you want to advance further, the true dragon aura of this dragon scale is something you must obtain. Hurry and leave. I’ve already completely erased your aura. Those four old fellows can only be impotent with rage.” That strange face appeared on the man’s shoulder again this time.

“Teacher, you say… when will we have the power to not fear the Goddess and become the number one person in this world?” the man in the golden robe asked.

“Goddess? Hehehe, with my guidance, what does the Goddess matter? This will naturally happen sooner or later. I know you have your eyes on that so-called Holy Maiden, but you can’t obtain her. But don’t be in a hurry… You’re still too weak now and can’t be exposed.”

“I know. I’m not such a superficial person. Endurance is all. Endurance is what I’m best at.” The man in the golden robe smiled. With this powerful and mysterious teacher’s assistance, his prospects were limitless.

With the death of the four dragons’ self-destruction, the Four Sages in the depths of the Four Sages Lake reacted at the same time… Four powerful auras simultaneously rose to the sky, carrying surging anger, and rushed towards the Kingdom of Rising Sun.

And in the Heavenly Book World, Zhanyue and his companion fell into deep thought as they looked at the three divine artifacts.
