Chapter 1373: I’m His Master

Purple Lightning Marquis’ Purple Lightning Spear Technique was boundlessly powerful. After countless years of training and modifying the technique, it had become much stronger than in the past. The spear headed toward the ice dragon from an odd angle, causing the dragon to be unable to avoid it and be struck.

Roar!

The spear stabbed through the dragon’s scales, spilling blood as its destructive lightning energy wreaked havoc on the wound, causing the dragon to roar in pain. The ice dragon finally realized how strong Purple Lightning Marquis was. If this fight dragged on any longer, he would probably suffer more.

Not daring to continue the fight, the ice dragon hurriedly dove down from the sky toward the mountain. With all the ice down there, he had an environmental advantage that would allow him to fully display the might of his frost energy.

When he reached the ground, he gathered the ambient frost energy in the area and covered his wound in ice. He then glared at Purple Lightning Marquis, who was descending, and roared furiously, “Are you really going to fight me to the death?”

“Release the overlord, and your life will be spared,” demanded Purple Lightning Marquis instead of continuing his pursuit.

“Overlord? Who the hell even is your overlord? I don’t know what you’re talking about,” replied the ice dragon.

Purple Lightning Marquis manifested a phantom of Xiang Shaoyun with his hands. The ice dragon finally understood what was going on.

“That kid is a bringer of bad luck,” cursed the ice dragon unhappily. “Wait. I’ll return him to you.”

The ice dragon was aware that if he did not compromise, the human would fight him to the death. He did not want to provoke more powerful humans, or he would be forced to leave his lair. He returned to his lair and was met with the sight of Money trying to free Xiang Shaoyun by ramming into the block of ice with his celestial horn.

Money showed no fear even after seeing the ice dragon’s return. He went straight to the point, “Lord dragon, please release my boss.”

“Even you are worried about that kid? Both of you can piss off, then,” said the ice dragon, already infuriated by his injuries. He then dragged both Money and Xiang Shaoyun outside the cave.

“Take them and stop bothering me, or I’ll drag you down with me even if I have to die. Don’t you dare think that I can’t,” warned the ice dragon as he tossed both Xiang Shaoyun and Money over.

A gentle clump of energy floated out of Purple Lightning Marquis and carried Xiang Shaoyun and Money to him. When he saw that Xiang Shaoyun was frozen, his face twitched, and he said, “You think this is over?”

“What else do you want? Don’t force me to fight you to the death!” said the ice dragon furiously.

“Hand over one stalk of god-grade herb as compensation, or I’ll destroy your lair,” demanded Purple Lightning Marquis domineeringly.

“You’re pushing my patience!” The ice dragon was infuriated. With a roar, he prepared to attack.

Purple Lightning Marquis naturally wouldn’t shrink from a fight. After making sure both Xiang Shaoyun and Money were sufficiently protected, he raised his Purple Lightning Spear. The spear was wrapped in a thick layer of lightning energy; while high in the sky, lightning bolts started taking form again.

Just as the two were about to resume their fight, a figure abruptly appeared between the two. When they noticed that they hadn’t even seen him approaching, they instantly calmed down.

The newcomer was a blind old man dressed in a set of thin hemp garments. Despite his unassuming appearance, the old man stood tall and aloof, giving off an extraordinary sensation.

The ice dragon no longer dared to make any noise. In fact, his instincts were screaming at him to flee. As for Purple Lightning Marquis, the lightning energy gathered around him intensified, as he did not know if the newcomer was here for the overlord.

The blind old man was none other than the gravekeeper elder who had arrived from the Dragon Phoenix Academy.

“Hand him over to me,” said the gravekeeper elder softly instead of snatching Xiang Shaoyun from Purple Lightning Marquis’ hands.

“Over my dead body,” said Purple Lightning Marquis unyieldingly.

During the war 10,000 years ago, he had failed to protect the overlord and was nearly killed. This time, he intended to die for the overlord.

“You’re not bad at all,” said the gravekeeper elder. With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind appeared and carried Xiang Shaoyun over to him. Not even Purple Lightning Marquis could sense his move coming. Just what kind of strength was that?

“Bastard!” Purple Lightning Marquis realized how terrifying the newcomer was, but he still showed no fear and stabbed his spear out in a fury.

The overbearing spear threatened to puncture the sky itself, carrying the might to slay anything in its path. But with a casual wave of the gravekeeper elder’s hand, such a powerful attack was neutralized.

Purple Lightning Marquis’ expression turned incomparably solemn while the ice dragon hurriedly retreated back into his lair in fear. Both he and Purple Lightning Marquis were Gods far stronger than ordinary Gods. However, they were nothing before this blind old man.

“Who are you exactly?” asked Purple Lightning Marquis.

“I’m his master,” replied the gravekeeper elder before vanishing into thin air with Xiang Shaoyun.

“Overlord’s master?” Purple Lightning Marquis was stunned.

“He really is my boss’s master. I saw him before at the Dragon Phoenix Academy,” said Money.

“Since that is the case, the overlord is probably safe now,” said Purple Lightning Marquis with a sigh.

He then started shouting at the ice dragon again. But this time, the ice dragon remained in his cave. Only when Purple Lightning Marquis threatened to flatten the mountain did the ice dragon come out unwillingly.

“Do you want to die?” asked the ice dragon furiously as he charged forth and engaged Purple Lightning Marquis in a battle again.

The ice dragon utilized his draconic aura, displaying an astonishing combat strength. Someone like him could rarely find a match among those in the same cultivation level. As for Purple Lightning Marquis, he was akin to a lightning god with extreme mastery over the power of lightning. His combat strength was comparable with the ice dragon’s, and he was determined to obtain a stalk of god-grade herb from the dragon as compensation for the overlord.

One dragon and one human fought for seven days and seven nights. Many dragon scales fell off, and much blood was spilled, giving the ice dragon a sorry appearance. Purple Lightning Marquis wasn’t any better off, his entire body ridden with wounds.

One of Purple Lightning Marquis’ arms was nearly bitten off, yet he showed no fear. After healing his arm some, he continued fighting.

“Madman!” the ice dragon cursed.

“Give me a stalk of a god-grade herb,” demanded Purple Lightning Marquis stubbornly.

“Fine, fine, I’ll consider this my bad luck.” The ice dragon was tired of fighting this opponent. Over the many years he had lived, this was the most difficult fight he had ever been involved in. He was afraid that this lunatic would really die while dragging him down. He returned to his cave, threw out a stalk of a herb, and told Purple Lightning Marquis to leave.

Naturally, Purple Lightning Marquis did not push his luck. With the god-grade herb in hand, he left with Money in a satisfied manner.
