The Legend of the Dragon King

‘Wu Zhangkong was the dean of Shrek Academy’s outer court. He was my teacher. From the first day I met him, he had always been my idol. White robes and blue sword, sky ice and snow cold. He dedicated his entire life to Shrek, and his heart to his beloved in his arms.Skyfrost was his martial soul, and Long Bing was his lover.

I hope that you will be reunited with Grandteacher in heaven. There’s no coldness in heaven anymore, only love.

If the ice can freeze everything, I hope the love between the both of you will be everlasting.

Your disciple, Tang Wulin.’

Each vibration made by the Golden Dragon Spear left a clear, distinct inscription. The writing was filled with Tang Wulin’s deep affection for Wu Zhangkong.

‘There’s no pain in heaven, only the love for each other!’

The Shrek Seven Monsters were all standing by Tang Wulin’s side at the moment. Every single one of them had tears running down their cheeks.

Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan were sobbing profusely. In the past, together with Tang Wulin, they were taught by Wu Zhangkong. They had a particularly close relationship with Wu Zhangkong. Yet, they did not expect their teacher to turn himself into an ice sculpture in the end. A person who was still alive a moment ago had left them forever.

“Wulin.” Meanwhile, a sobbing voice was heard.

Tang Wulin turned his head and saw Tang Yingmeng approaching him accompanied by Zheng Yiran.

“Senior sister disciple, my deepest condolence to you!” Tang Wulin sounded a little hoarse. He had no idea how to console Tang Yingmeng. It felt as if anything he said at present would be useless, since he could not even console himself.

Tang Yingmeng took a deep breath in an attempt to suppress her emotions. She said to Tang Wulin, “It’s a conspiracy. They are planning a conspiracy. Before Brother Lan died, he tried to warn me. The abyssal powerhouse that he was fighting against revealed something to him. Due to the dire situation, he could only relay the limited information which was meant for you.”

“Huh?” Tang Wulin was taken aback. He had witnessed the situation too. At the time, Lan Muzi was struggling to convey something, but he was interrupted by the abyssal powerhouse each time.

Tang Yingmeng said, “The abyssal creature thought it could interrupt Brother Lan’s communication, but it had no idea that we had established a unique communication method between us. We’ve been dating since we joined Shrek Academy and had spent so many years cultivating together. Brother Lan has a set of saber techniques which can be used to communicate messages. It was supposed to be a fun thing that we did whenever we were bored. So, Brother Lan had used these saber techniques to relay the message to me during his final moments earlier.”

“What did senior brother disciple say?” Tang Wulin least expected Lan Muzi to be sending out messages during his final moments.

Tang Yingmeng regained her calm once again before speaking in a clear voice, “In spite of the difficulty of the situation at the time, Brother Lan managed to convey some limited information. There were a few messages. One was regarding the conspiracy. There seems to be some kind of conspiracy behind the bet. Besides, it’s possible that the Demon Empress is unaware of this conspiracy. He didn’t know the specific details. I suspect that the abyssal plane is not suffering from the death of these abyssal creatures. Also, it’s highly probable that his opponent isn’t dead yet.”

After listening to her, Tang Wulin maintained his calm. He then nodded slowly. “Thank you, senior sister disciple. I hear you.”

Lan Muzi had sacrificed his life, just so he could leave the message.

Shrek Academy had suffered way too many losses in this war. It made Tang Wulin even more resolute in the depths of his heart at the moment.

‘Elder Long, godmother, Teacher Wu, senior brother disciple, all of you won’t die in vain. I’ll lead everyone to achieve the final victory regardless.’

‘We’ll surely defeat them regardless of the conspiracy, I promise you that!’

Tang Wulin grasped the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand tightly. At this very moment, his eyes turned fully golden. A golden glint flickered in his eyes!

“Boom!”

Meanwhile, the last Nine Palace Box in the battle suddenly gave out a loud, earth-shattering boom.

The Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa’s body was crushed in the violent boom, turning into scraps of flesh scattered all over. Qiangu Dieting, on the other hand, appeared after the gray-black radiance faded away. His right arm and leg were gone as well. In fact, the right side of his body was withering.

His wounds did not gush fresh blood. Nonetheless, the Nine Palace Box was shattered. The powerful absolute immobility had finally disintegrated.

Qiangu Dieting remained hovering in the sky. Although he only had half a life left, he was determined to stay alive.

Yes, he had won. He had defeated the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa through and through, even though he paid a heavy price for it as well. In any event, killing a quasi god was easier said than done.

He held the Coiling Dragon Staff in his left hand. With his back straight as a ramrod, his whole person was still emitting the Combat Heaven and Earth consciousness.

Even the people from Shrek Academy who were his adversaries in the past could not help but express their respect for him when they saw his emancipated, mighty silhouette.

Qiangu Dieting was an almighty of his generation in the past. He showed everyone that the Spirit Pagoda was principled, and he still held the honor of the Qiangu Clan.

Mankind’s legion was victorious in this round of the battle. All nine of the opposing team members were dead. On the other hand, mankind’s legion also suffered severe losses.

The Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, the Sun Wood Douluo Lan Muzi, the Skyfrost Dragon Ice Wu Zhangkong, Qiangu Dongfeng, and the other four great powerhouses had all fallen. In addition, there was the crippled Qiangu Dieting. To be exact, only four and a half people from their team made it out alive.

Out of the three rounds of bets, mankind’s legion had achieved victory in two rounds. Although they suffered severe losses in the two rounds which included the four Limit Douluos, in addition to Lan Muzi and Wu Zhangkong, the Holy Spirit Cult and the abyss paid a heavier price.

Other than the Demon Empress, all the top-grade powerhouses in the Holy Spirit Cult were completely wiped out.

Both the Underworld Emperor and the Ghost Emperor had fallen. The Darkness Blood Demon and the Darkness Bell had died in the second battle as well.

At present, the Demon Empress’ expression was truly unpleasant. Although she had an ominous presentiment that the battle’s outcome would not be good, she did not expect it to be so bad.

From her point of view, the Ghost Emperor was supposed to prevail in the battle against the Holy Spirit Douluo. The Ghost Emperor could then fight against the opposing team’s Limit Douluos following that.

Obviously, she did not expect Shrek Academy to deploy their full strength during the second round by sending so many Limit Douluos. She thought Shrek Academy would most likely group all the Limit Douluos during the final round to attack her. It would certainly be stressful for her.

The Demon Empress was the sole general, being the only person left from the Holy Spirit Cult’s one empress, two emperors, and the four great heavenly kings. The rest of the powerhouses had all died in battle.

The abyss’ loss was tremendous and tragic as well. Including the second-ranked Spirit Monarch, there were more than twenty abyssal leaders who had died in battle. Furthermore, the abyssal levels where they came from had collapsed as well.

It meant the entire abyss was weakened, including the five great monarch-ranked powerhouses, namely the Spirit Monarch, the Sage Monarch, the Transform Monarch, the Black Monarch, and the Bee Monarch. They were among the top ten, and they made up half of the full-strength army!

Currently, a third of the abyss’ strength was wiped out if the abyssal Sage King was not considered.

Following the death of the numerous abyssal powerhouses, close to half of the ordinary abyssal creatures had vanished. A large amount of the dense and rich abyssal energy was devoured by Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Spear and Gu Yuena’s Silver Dragon Spear. They were each channelling the life force individually.

Undoubtedly, mankind’s legion had gained the upper hand judging from the outcome of the battle.

On the other hand, the most important battle was about to take place. Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena’s ability to lead the Shrek Seven Monsters to defeat the Demon Empress would ensure victory in this battle.

Tang Wulin raised his head slowly. He felt restless as it had been a long time since he had been in a battle. He was eager to engage in a battle at present.

His golden eyes stared at the Demon Empress in the distance. All of a sudden, he raised his head and let out a deafening dragon’s roar.
