Chapter 994 - The Little Dragon City
Chapter 994 The Little Dragon City
The eighth-level demonic beast was comparable to a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. Before the Flame Gold-eyed Beast even came close to Li Mengyao, its immense momentum had already pressed down on Li Mengyao.
“Your Highness, be careful.”
Li Tianxiong rushed over and stood in front of Li Mengyao. He raised his hand to punch the Flame Gold-eyed Beast. The man and the beast began to fight.
Under normal circumstances, he and the beast were well-matched. However, he had to protect the second princess, Li Mengyao. Therefore, he could not exert his full strength. Soon, he was at a disadvantage.
After fighting for a few rounds, his hair and beard were scorched by the Flame Gold-eyed Beast. He looked very miserable.
After killing Lu Mingju, the other Flame Gold-eyed Beast was still incapable of suppressing the rage within its heart. It turned and charged towards Pang Ban, Zhao Long and the others.
These people were only at the early stage of the Combination Realm. Under the pressure of the eighth-level demonic beast, they weren’t even able to resist.
The flames spat out by the Flame Gold-eyed Beast had the power of burning anything within 500 kilometers, and these people were instantly reduced to ashes.
In the blink of an eye, only Li Tianxiong, Li Tiankuo, and Li Mengyao were alive.
Li Tiankuo already had an internal injury after being slapped by Niu Cuihua just now. He wanted to rush over to help Li Tianxiong. However, the Flame Gold-eyed Beast that had killed Lu Mingju, Pang Ban and the others blocked his path.
After being injured, he couldn’t compare with Li Tianxiong. As soon as they started fighting, he was beaten by the angry Flame Gold-eyed Beast and couldn’t fight back. He tried to escape but could not.
Only three or two minutes passed; the Flame Gold-eyed Beast ripped off his left arm with a single bite.
“Ah…”
Li Tiankuo let out a miserable scream and tried to escape. As soon as he turned around, he saw Niu Cuihua standing in front of him.
The First Elder of the Ghost King Sect had always been a vengeful person. Although she just stood aside and watched, she had already sentenced Li Tiankuo and Li Tianxiong to death in her heart.
When she saw that Li Tiankuo wanted to escape, she immediately blocked his way.
“Get the hell back!”
Niu Cuihua slapped Li Tiankuo back.
Li Tiankuo was not so lucky this time. What awaited him were no longer huge trees, but the Flame Gold-eyed Beast’s mouth.
The Flame Gold-eyed Beast opened its mouth and directly swallowed Li Tiankuo.
Seeing this, Li Tianxiong couldn’t help shivering. Although he was a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, he was not any braver than ordinary people.
He was already at a disadvantage. When he was distracted, the large claw of the Flame Gold-eyed Beast struck his chest.
Demonic beasts had extremely powerful bodies compared to cultivators. This slap directly shattered Li Tianxiong’s sternum, which made his blood and internal organs gush out of his mouth.
At the same time, another Flame Gold-eyed Beast rushed over and swallowed Li Tianxiong in one gulp.
In the blink of an eye, the two masters from the Dragon Kingdom, whose cultivation was the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, met their tragic ends.
Li Mengyao was shocked at first. Then, she came to her senses and shouted to Qin Haodong, “Why don’t you ask your demonic beasts to stop? Do you really want to become the enemy of our Dragon Kingdom?”
Qin Haodong sneered, “From the moment your Dragon Kingdom attacked me, we were no longer friends. Do you mean that the Dragon Kingdom will no longer be my enemy if I let you go?”
“Qin Haodong, just wait. Our Dragon Kingdom will get even with you.”
Li Mengyao’s eyes were full of hatred. When she saw that the two Flame Gold-eyed Beasts were about to attack her, a golden Taoist Talisman suddenly appeared in her hand.
“Qin Haodong, I’ll kill you sooner or later,” Li Mengyao roared.
Then, the golden Taoist Talisman flared with golden light and enveloped her. Next, Li Mengyao vanished instantly from their sight.
The two Flame Gold-eyed Beasts missed their target. They released unwilling roars.
Niu Cuihua said, “This woman actually has a treasure that can teleport her. She managed to escape.”
Qin Haodong was not surprised. “She is the second princess of the Dragon Kingdom and should have a life-saving magic treasure.
“However, this kind of Taoist Talisman must be an extremely rare treasure. It can only be used once.”
After killing all their enemies, the two Flame Gold-eyed Beasts came to Qin Haodong together and rubbed their big heads against him.
“Stay away. Stay away from me. Too hot.”
Right now, it was summer. As soon as these two fire element demonic beasts came close to him, he felt extremely hot.
After one Flame Gold-eyed Beast roared, Qin Haodong said, “Okay, okay, I understand what you mean. I’ll take all your children with me.”
With a thought, he put the three cubs into his Spirit Beast Pouch.
The two Flame Gold-eyed Beasts came to the body of the dead cub and cried out in grief. Then, they also entered Qin Haodong’s Spirit Beast Pouch.
When everything was settled, Qin Haodong and the other two did not stay any longer. The three people continued to fly toward the Dragon Kingdom.
The next day, they entered the border of the Dragon Kingdom. When it was almost evening, an enormous city appeared in front of their eyes.
Qin Haodong asked, “Is this the Dragon City?”
It was not a surprise that he asked this question. This city was very enormous and did not appear to be at all inferior to Tortoise City.
He Ziwei said, “There is still some distance to the Dragon City. This place is called Little Dragon City.”
Qin Haodong exclaimed, “No wonder it’s said that the Dragon Kingdom is the most powerful kingdom in the Lingwu Continent. Such a city is comparable to Tortoise City and Rosefinch City.”
He Ziwei said, “Little Dragon City is really prosperous. The Alchemist Association of the Dragon Kingdom is located in this city, so countless cultivators come here to ask for pills every day.
“Just because of this, the size of this city is getting bigger; it’s even no lesser than Dragon City.”
Niu Cuihua said, “Sister Ziwei, it seems that you are very familiar with this place. Have you been here before?”
“Three years ago, I came here to buy some pills with my father,” He Ziwei said. “Although the headquarters of the Alchemist Association in the Lingwu Continent is in Tiger Kingdom, the branch of the Alchemist Association in Dragon Kingdom is also very famous.
“The president of this branch is Lu Xiaoyao, an eighth-level alchemist. Moreover, he was the first associate president of the Alchemist Headquarters.”
Niu Cuihua said to Qin Haodong, “Hubby, since this place is so prosperous, shall we go down and have a look?”
Qin Haodong said, “Well, let’s stay here tonight. We will go tomorrow.”
After that, the three people landed not far from the city gate and walked into Little Dragon City.
At the city gate, they saw that hundreds of people had gathered around and they were all looking at a huge notice under the city wall.
Niu Cuihua had always enjoyed crowds. She cried, “Hubby, let’s go and have a look. If a beautiful girl is choosing her destined one, you will have one more wife.”
“Sister Cuihua, you’re mocking me again,” He Ziwei said and glanced at Qin Haodong.
He Ziwei flushed in embarrassment. Although Qin Haodong had many women, she still felt that she had made the wisest decision when she chose Qin Haodong as her husband.
Qin Haodong said, “If you want to see it, let’s go.”
The three people came to the foot of the city wall together. They saw a huge notice hanging there, which was more than two meters high.
This notice was about seeking medical advice. It clearly stated that whoever cured Lu Xiaoyao, the president of the Alchemist Association, would gain 10 low-level Immortal Crystals as a reward.
Qin Haodong couldn’t help being surprised. The exchange conference between these four kingdoms was such a big competition, but the king of Rosefinch Kingdom only took out one low-level Immortal Crystal as a reward.
He did not expect the Alchemist Association to be so rich, that they could afford to take out 10 low-level Immortal Crystals as the consultation fee. This president was really generous.
The people around were also talking about it.
“It seems that President Lu is seriously ill this time. On the first day, he took out one low-level Immortal Crystal. He added one Immortal Crystal every day. Now, the consultation fee has already increased to 10 low-level Immortal Crystals.”
“It’s a pity that I don’t know much about medicine. Otherwise, I would have made a fortune. These are 10 low-level Immortal Crystals. I get excited just thinking about it.”
“You think too much. It’s not easy to get these low-level Immortal Crystals. All the famous doctors in Little Dragon City have tried, but no one can cure President Lu’s disease.”
Niu Cuihua said, “Hubby, aren’t you proficient in medical skills? Would you like to try?”
She knew very well how excellent Qin Haodong’s medical skills were. In the Seven Storeys Pagoda, if Qin Haodong had not treated her, she would not have recovered.
“Let’s make our way to the city now.”
If it were something else, Qin Haodong wouldn’t care about it. However, the low-level Immortal Crystal was a good tool for him to improve his cultivation. He had to seize this opportunity and get those low-level Immortal Crystals.
After Qin Haodong and the other two left, the people behind them shook their heads unceasingly.
“At first glance, I can tell that they are from another city. They are over-confident. So many famous doctors can’t cure President Lu. I am guessing that they also can’t cure President Lu.”
“They certainly want the Immortal Crystals. If it were so easy to get the Immortal Crystals, these Immortal Crystals would have been taken away long ago.”
“The young man looks good, but he doesn’t look like a doctor at all…”
Qin Haodong ignored the comments of these people. After entering the city, he inquired and went straight to the mansion of the president of the Alchemist Association.
Lu Xiaoyao, the president of the Alchemist Association in Little Dragon City, was an eighth-level alchemist and also a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. His status here was even more respected than that of the lord.
Correspondingly, his mansion was also luxuriously decorated, with carved beams and painted rafters.
At the gate of the mansion, there were more than a dozen guards on duty there. All of them were on the alert.
Seeing a man and two women walking over, the leader of these guards immediately stepped forward and asked, “Stop! What are you doing here?”
Qin Haodong said, “I’m here to treat President Lu.”
“A doctor? Are you a doctor?”
Qin Haodong said, “Yes, I’m a doctor.”
Seeing that he was so young, the leader of these guards said in disbelief, “Where is your medical badge? Show it to me.”
“Ah? Medical badge? Does a doctor still need a badge?”
Qin Haodong had not been in the Lingwu Continent for long. He knew that alchemists had badges. But he had never heard that doctors also needed badges.
“You don’t even know what a medical badge is? How dare you come here and pretend to be a doctor?” The leader said angrily, “Where are you from? Are you here to make trouble?”
Hearing what he said, the other guards also glared at him. Some of them even drew their swords and looked as though they were about to take action at any moment.
“What! Who gave you the courage to speak to me in such a manner?!”
Qin Haodong exuded his powerful momentum. “Although I don’t have a medical badge, my medical skills are absolutely the highest in the Lingwu Continent. Only I can cure your president’s disease.”
The leader didn’t know what to do due to his imposing manner and self-righteous words.
“Since your medical skills are so good, why don’t you even have a medical badge?”
“What’s the use of that thing? It is just a form,” Qin Haodong said. “People with real medical skills like me don’t care about badges at all.
“Many doctors with badges have come to try and cure the president’s disease these days. Were they able to do it?
“The badge can’t represent medical skills. If you delay President Lu’s treatment, can you bear the consequences?”
