Chapter 199: A Brave Dragon Slayer, One Hammer Strike Each

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“What a lunatic!”

“He’s a total lunatic!”

“Who would dare do that unless they’re a lunatic?”

Everyone in the square was shocked by Meng Lei’s crazy action.

Dimensional Blade was hailed as the strongest wind-elemental single-target offensive first-class spell. It was also considered one of the best among the many single-target offensive first-class spells out there in terms of offensive power.

This was especially true when it was President Luke, a Saint Domain at pinnacle-level, casting it—its might was absolutely incredible!

Yet Meng Lei actually intended to take it head-on with bare hands!

What was he, if not a lunatic?

“You’re going too far!”

President Luke let out an icy snort, a hint of great displeasure flashing across his features.

He was the Dragon God Academy president and a pinnacle-level Wind-Elemental Saint Domain Great Magician, yet Meng Lei was looking down on him so much!

What a great insult to him this was!

What happened next, however, completely overturned everything that President Luke knew.

Meng Lei easily caught the highly compressed and incomparably sharp Dimensional Blade capable of cutting apart everything in the world when it reached right in front of him with a casual grabbing motion.

The Dimensional Blade, which was hailed as the strongest wind-elemental single-target offensive first-class spell, simply couldn’t make even a nick on Meng Lei’s fair, tender, smooth, exquisite, slender, and delicate hand.

“Break!”

Meng Lei’s hand closed around it forcefully with a soft shout.

Crack!

The incomparably compressed Dimensional Blade instantly broke into pieces and turned into innumerable cyan wind elements, upon which they returned to the universe as if they’d never once appeared.

“Noooo!”

“That’s impossible!!”

“O’ Dragon God above!”

How can this possibly be true?!

“Catching and breaking the Dimensional Blade with his bare hand... Is he even human?!”

President Luke was dumbfounded, and so were the other 1,000-odd Saint Domains and Frederick the 32nd.

Astounded to the extreme, no-one could believe their eyes!

“As they say, it doesn’t fulfill propriety if one doesn’t return as good as they receive! Have a taste of my Dimensional Blade, too!”

Meng Lei formed a sword with his fingers and lightly drew a line across the air.

Slash!

The air instantly ripped apart. A black fissure slightly over one-meter-long quietly appeared, and then, as light as a feather, it started to extend toward President Luke!

“R-ripping apart the air...”

President Luke looked as though he’d just seen a ghost. He shuddered all over, and even his voice was trembling a little.

Then, his voice was abruptly cut off—the black fissure had quietly appeared and lightly slashed across his neck. A bloody line formed, and then, his head left his body.

Boom!

President Luke’s corpse plummeted onto the square with a crash before turning into its true form—it was actually a Tempest Colossal Dragon with cyan scales all over it and over 70-meters-long!

The Tempest Colossal Dragon was a wind-elemental Colossal Dragon and one of the ten major Dragon breeds. Their forte was wind-elemental Dragon-Language Magic.

Meng Lei descended from the sky and landed on top of the Tempest Colossal Dragon carcass. As he gazed at all the Saint Domains that numbered up to a thousand present, he couldn’t help but lick his lips.

Since hunting Magical Beasts could earn him gold coins... Would killing people also bring him gold coins?

The answer was... A definite yes!

To be honest, Meng Lei had actually known from the very beginning that he could also earn gold coins by killing people, but he had refrained from doing so.

After all, since he could earn gold coins just by hunting Magical Beasts, why should he kill people? He didn’t want to become a cold, ruthless devil that didn’t even so much as bat an eyelid when killing someone, just for the sake of money.

But today, Meng Lei had decided to go on a killing spree!

Killing Angus had earned him 7.3 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, while killing President Luke had earned 9.2 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.

With so many Saint Domains present, how many Laws of Nature Origin Crystals would that amount up to?

Besides, a vast majority of them weren’t even human, but... Magical Beasts!

Were Dragons human? Of course not!

“Your Majesty, didn’t you want me to die a terrible death? Why aren’t you attacking yet?”

Meng Lei held his hands behind him, and leisurely took step after step toward the emperor as though he was taking a stroll in the park.

“Guards! Guards!”

Frederick the 32nd was so frightened that he shuddered all over and began to shout at the top of his lungs.

“Protect the emperor!”

“Protect His Majesty!”

Everyone quickly stood in front of the emperor, assuming a fighting stance as if they were protecting the emperor. However, their faces were pale, their legs were shaking, and their eyes were brimming with fear.

Meng Lei had badly frightened all of them.

“Meng Lei, stop that!” President Fred stepped forward at this point. “It’s not too late yet if you turn back now. If you continue to err so stubbornly, the Dragon God Empire will no longer have a place for you!”

“Turn back? Can I still turn back?”

As he looked into Fred’s eyes, which were filled with sadness and heartache, Meng Lei looked up and sighed to the heavens. “President, do you know something? I just lost someone who was dearest to me!”

President Fred was startled.

“To save me, he perished together with the Tree of Life. That’s the only reason why these pieces of garbage could leave the Lost Continent alive!”

Meng Lei cast a glance at the dozens of surviving contestants, frightening them so badly that their insides nearly ruptured from fear.

“But look at what happened in the end? Not only are these heartless and cold-blooded ingrates not even the least bit thankful, but they even want me to take the blame! Don’t you think they deserve to die?”

“Perished together with the Tree of Life?”

At once, something seemed to occur to President Fred, and he exclaimed, “Could it be that the Dragon King supporting you... has died?!”

“That’s right!

Meng Lei nodded heavily as harsh, killing intent filled his eyes. “So, don’t stop me! You can’t stop me, anyway! I’m going to kill all these ingrates today and let them follow Ol’ President to the otherworld!”

“Meng Lei...”

Fred wanted to persuade him further, but Meng Lei had already vanished from where he was. By the time he reappeared, he was already right in front of the emperor and the many other Saint Domains.

“Bunch of ingrates, how do you still have the cheek to live with yourselves in this world? Go to hell, all of you!”

With a flick of his fingers, several ice blades shot forward and instantly engulfed the surviving contestants!

Splurt!

Splurt!

A round of ice blades later, all the surviving contestants had lost their lives. They didn’t even have the time to beg for mercy!

After that, Meng Lei turned to Frederick the 32nd as if he’d only done something so trivial that it wasn’t even worth mentioning.

“Your Majesty, I feel pretty wronged that you should claim that I’ve caused the deaths of 108 contestants,” Meng Lei said with a slight smile, “So that you do not wrong me, I shall do a little something!”

“W-what are you planning to do?”

Frederick the 32nd roared furiously, “I’m the emperor of the empire! The noble and distinguished Dragon Emperor! If you dare attack me, all the old grandmasters on the Dragon Island will never let you off! There will no longer be a place for you in this whole world!”

“Is that so? I’d like very much to try that, then!”

Meng Lei made a grabbing motion in the air, and then, an ice sword glittering with a cold, icy glint appeared in his hand.

“Guards! Guards!”

Frederick the 32nd retreated several steps, filled with alarm and fear. The group of Saint Domain experts standing in front of him and blocking him from Meng Lei also retreated along with him.

With every step Meng Lei advanced, they took a step back. With another step forward, they took yet another step back!

A single person was actually pressuring a thousand Saint Domains into pathetic retreat! It was practically the most comical sight ever!

“You bold, audacious outlaw! Don’t you hurt His Majesty!”

At that moment, a few loud and sonorous dragon roars suddenly traveled over from the sky a great distance away. Everyone raised their heads and looked over to see several Colossal Dragons flapping their wings and flying toward them.

Golden scales, golden claws, golden wings, and golden horns... There were a few Golden Colossal Dragons!

In terms of body size alone, those few Golden Colossal Dragons were a tad inferior to Barbarossa’s 100-meters-long dragon form, but the surging, torrential dragon might around them was immeasurably stronger than Barbarossa’s!

Evidently, all of them were Golden Colossal Dragon People with extremely pure bloodlines. Although still not as pure as Barbarossa’s, their actual strength far surpassed his.

“The elders!”

“It’s the ten elders!”

“Your Majesty, the ten elders have come!”

The many Saint Domains were overjoyed.

“That’s great! With the ten elders here, I have no need to worry anymore!”

Frederick the 32nd was delighted. Then, a savage look gleamed in his eyes, and he declared, “You evil creature, I want you to die a terrible death today!”

“Those are the ten elders of the senior statesmen’s assembly!”

Fred heaved a sigh and tried to kindly persuade Meng Lei again.

“Meng Lei, don’t make any more mistakes. The ten elders of the senior statesmen’s assembly are all pinnacle-level Saint Domain great experts, among whom the Grand Elder is even a limits-level Saint Domain and an existence that’s a step away from becoming a half-deity. You won’t be their match at all! Listen to me, and stop while it’s still not too late!”

“A limits-level Saint Domain?” Meng Lei licked his lips and asked, “The kind of limits-level expert that has reached 99.999% comprehension of a type of laws of nature and is just a final step away from attaining 100% comprehension?”

“Yes!” Fred said in a low voice, “Every limits-level Saint Domain is incomparably exalted. Even the half-deity grandmasters have to show them some courtesy! You—”

“Awesome! The stronger, the better!”

Meng Lei licked his lips. The stronger they were, the more valuable they would be. Only then would there be a kick in killing them!

Crash!

Crash!

In the twinkling of an eye, the ten Golden Colossal Dragons had reached right above him. The largest was nearing 100-meters-long, and even the smallest was as long as 90 meters.

Each of them gave off vast, mighty dragon might that made everyone present feel immense pressure.

“Where’s the knave, Your Majesty?”

The longest Golden Colossal Dragon shouted the question furiously, his voice as though a thunderclap.

“What good timing, elders!” Frederick the 32nd pointed at Meng Lei and shouted furiously, “Kill that wicked fiend at once!”

“Calm down, Your Majesty. When we capture that wicked fiend, we’ll hand him over to Your Majesty to deal with!”

The longest Golden Colossal Dragon roared, “Bold and impudent knave, how dare you come and act so wildly in the empire’s palaces! You deserve to die a thousand times for your act of treason!”

“Haha, I deserve to die a thousand times for my act of treason?”

Meng Lei laughed into the sky as the Hammer of Destruction appeared in his hand. Then, he appeared out of the blue right in front of one of the Golden Colossal Dragons, raised the hammer, and swung it toward the Golden Colossal Dragon!

“How audacious!”

The Golden Colossal Dragon glowered at him and raised its sharp, savage-looking claws and swiped at him.

Boom!

The Hammer of Destruction collided with the Golden Colossal Dragon’s claws. The claws straight-up broke and became all mashed up with a hole smashed right into it!

“Ahhh!”

Following a shrill scream, large droplets of dragon blood splattered through the air and dyed the ground red.

“Take another strike of my hammer!”

Meng Lei quietly appeared above the Golden Colossal Dragon’s head with a slight sway of his body and gave it another heavy hammer strike.

Crack!

It was as though a great hammer had smashed into a watermelon! Or a sledgehammer knocking an egg!

With a crisp crash, the Golden Colossal Dragon’s head unsurprisingly broke apart!

Howl!

Amid a shrill and miserable dragon roar, the dragon’s nearly 100-meters-long body plummeted through the sky and smashed a huge dragon-shaped hole into the square. Just like that, a pinnacle-level Saint Domain had perished!

“Old Ninth!”

“Ninth Elder!”

At the sight of that, the nine remaining Golden Colossal Dragons roared furiously. Their voices were like rolling thunder, their wrath like violent winds and torrential waves, and their killing intent like the howls of the mountains and the roars of the seas!

“You bastard!”

“You evil creature!”

“You knave!”

“Return the Ninth Elder’s life!”

“Don’t be anxious. Everyone gets their own share!”

With a laugh, Meng Lei appeared right in front of the second Golden Colossal Dragon like a specter and smashed his hammer down again.

Howl!

Then, it was the third Golden Colossal Dragon, the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth...

All of them received one strike each, fair and square!

Everyone got a share each, not a single one receiving more or less than that!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

For a moment there, it began to rain pork dumplings, no, dragon dumplings!

Nine out of the ten mighty, awe-inspiring Golden Colossal Dragons roaring furiously into the sky just now had fallen onto the ground.

Then, they became still and motionless and turned into dead dragons.

“How did that happen!?”

Frederick the 32nd had totally broken down.
