Chapter 1712: Ultimate Dragon Blood Affliction Art
When Li Luo appeared, Zhen Linshuang and Ao Yan's expressions changed greatly. Neither of them had expected this.
"Li Luo, if you help me suppress Ao Yan, the Dragon Race will owe you a favor!" Zhen Linshuang said. Her body was still wreathed with the crimson Devil Flames of Desire, continuously sapping away at her physical strength. As a result, her words lacked their usual vigor and her overbearing tone was nowhere to be heard, causing her to seem weak.
"I never thought you could be so polite, Chieftain Zhen," Li Luo teased. From the moment he arrived at the Dragons' Domain, Zhen Linshuang had never given him any semblance of face, with her tone always being haughty and aloof. However, the arrogant Chieftain was now speaking nicely.
A look of embarrassment flickered through her eyes upon hearing his words. However, understanding that she had to rely on him, she pretended she had not heard him.
"Federation Chief Li Luo, you're not a member of the Dragon Race, so why would you involve yourself in such muddied waters? Zhen Linshuang is merely reaping what she sowed. Furthermore, you have first-hand experience with how revolting her behavior is," Ao Yan somberly said.
Li Luo replied, "Indeed, I truly dislike Chieftain Zhen's pompous attitude. However, Elder Ao, you've collaborated with the Others and the Origin Reversion Institute, which is unacceptable."
Zhen Linshuang's personality and attitude were poor, but that was a personal problem. Ao Yan, on the other hand, had committed a cardinal sin. Li Luo didn't know how deep Ao Yan's hatred ran, but what the latter was about to do would not only cripple Zhen Linshuang, it would also harm the very foundation of the Dragon Race. That was why Li Luo couldn't accept this. The Dragon Race ruled over the spirit beasts and was a key pillar of the divine continents' strength. Their decline would lead to much greater pressure on the federations and alliances across the world.
"Are you planning to interfere?" asked Ao Yan. His expression was blank, but his eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent. "Li Luo, I know you are quite powerful, but I'm afraid you don't have the right to act presumptuously before me."
Li Luo had the power to challenge three Triple Crowned Kings at once, but Ao Yan was at the peak of the Triple Crowned King Stage. In addition, he had the fortified physical body of a dragon. In terms of his ranking among all the Kings in the divine continents, he was definitely near the very top.
Dusky black light burst out of Ao Yan's body as it rapidly expanded. Scales akin to black iron sprouted across his skin. In just a few short moments, a gigantic Black Dragon radiating an awe-inspiring aura floated within the Dragon's Abyss. The dragon's back was like a mountain range, with hideous and enormous thorns extending outwards, giving him a savage appearance. The majestic aura that belonged to a peak Triple Crowned King spilled out of him.
