Chapter 27: Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang Die! Little Brother Xiao Jin, a Ninety-Seven-Thousand-Year Golden Earth Dragon!
Accompanied by two screams that almost overlapped.
Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang didn't even have time to perform their Martial Soul Fusion Technique before they were turned into meat paste under the claws of the enraged sixty-thousand-year Golden Earth Dragon King.
The disparity in strength, coupled with their mental collapse, left them helpless before Iron Head's spiteful strike.
They were as fragile as two thin sheets of paper.
Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin, father and son, stood on a tree trunk not far away, watching the tragic scene below.
Their Adam's apples couldn't help but bob involuntarily.
Although Dugu Bo believed he could also kill these two, he definitely couldn't do it so cleanly and decisively.
It was even more impossible for him to crush them with pure physical strength like this giant beast, which was filled with a primitive and violent beauty.
What made their hearts race even more was that this Golden Earth Dragon, which had just been terrifyingly powerful like a killing machine,
Immediately withdrew all its violent aura after dealing with the enemies.
It turned its massive head, lowered it submissively, and gently rubbed its blood-stained snout against Yu Jingcheng's trouser leg.
A low 'wu wu' sound came from its throat, as if it were seeking credit or perhaps expressing its grievances.
Yu Jingcheng merely reached out with an indifferent expression and patted its hard forehead, as if he were comforting his own hunting dog.
"This scene..."
Dugu Xin felt his mouth go dry and couldn't help but whisper to his father.
"Father, the Sect Master... can he really completely control such a Vicious Beast?"
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, the green light in his eyes flickering as he said in a low voice:
"It's not just control; this is a kind of submission that comes from the depths of the Soul.
Xin'er, it seems our Sect Master has more secrets than I imagined."
Although Dugu Bo was somewhat puzzled as to why Yu Jingcheng would kill so ruthlessly over a Soul Beast cub, even to the point of exterminating the peerless dragon snake couple,
In his view, it was only natural for Soul Masters to hunt Soul Beasts; survival of the fittest was the Law.
But this didn't stop him from supporting Yu Jingcheng.
Since they were on the same boat, Yu Jingcheng's will was their direction.
Forget killing two Soul Douluo; even if it were a Titled Douluo, as long as Yu Jingcheng gave the order, Dugu Bo would dare to release his poison.
Yu Jingcheng comforted the emotionally agitated Iron Head.
Then, he turned around and looked at the shocked and confused Dugu Bo and his son.
Yu Jingcheng sighed softly, the cold killing intent on his face gradually fading, replaced by a well-timed touch of "sorrow" and "reminiscence."
He knew he had to give these two a reasonable explanation.
After all, as a human standing on the side of Soul Beasts, if there wasn't a plausible reason,
It would inevitably cause his subordinates to feel uneasy and think of him as an outsider.
"Old Poison, do you think I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, or even being a bit cruel?"
Yu Jingcheng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze looking deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, his tone low.
Dugu Bo quickly cupped his hands:
"This subordinate wouldn't dare.
The Sect Master's actions have their own profound meaning.
Since that peerless dragon snake couple angered the Sect Master, their deaths are well-deserved."
"Actually, this can be considered an old story."
Yu Jingcheng shook his head and began the "story" he had already prepared.
"My teacher's Martial Soul was the Golden Earth Dragon."
"Golden Earth Dragon Martial Soul?"
Dugu Bo was stunned.
He had never heard of anyone Awakening a Golden Earth Dragon Martial Soul.
As expected of a hidden expert!
Yu Jingcheng's expression remained unchanged as he continued to fabricate:
"My teacher was obsessed with researching Dragon-type Martial Souls his entire life.
Decades ago, he went deep into the Star Dou Great Forest and formed a deep bond with the Golden Earth Dragon Clan."
At this point, a hint of "warmth" appeared in Yu Jingcheng's eyes:
"After I became his disciple at the age of six, my teacher took me into the forest."
"You could say that half of my childhood was spent in the nests of the Golden Earth Dragons."
Yu Jingcheng pointed at the feeding Iron Head, then at the place where Meng Shu had mentioned dumping the carcass, his voice becoming somewhat raspy:
"I used to ride on this big fellow's back when I was a child.
And the cub killed by Meng Shu... by seniority, it would have had to call me 'Brother'."
"In your eyes, they are Soul Beasts, Soul Rings, and resources."
"But in my eyes, they are elders who watched me grow up, partners who played with me, and family."
Yu Jingcheng suddenly turned his head, his eyes burning as he stared at Dugu Bo, questioning:
"Old Poison, if someone killed Dugu Xin for profit, what would you do?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's body shook violently, and a terrifying killing intent instantly erupted from his eyes as he blurted out:
"I would make him regret ever coming into this world!
I would kill his entire family and exterminate his nine generations!"
"Exactly."
Yu Jingcheng nodded, his expression solemn:
"That Meng Shu couple should never have touched my family."
"So killing them was both to avenge that cub and to tell the world—"
"Anyone who touches Yu Jingcheng's people, whether human or beast, will be executed no matter how far away they are!"
After hearing this, the confusion on Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin's faces completely dissipated, replaced by a sudden realization and deep respect.
So that was it!
That explains everything!
No wonder the Sect Master could command Golden Earth Dragons, and no wonder he had such pure Dragon Might.
It turns out he lived among dragons since he was a child!
This didn't make them think Yu Jingcheng was an outsider; instead, they felt the Sect Master was a man of great sentiment and clear about his debts and grudges.
A leader who dares to draw his sword against a powerful enemy for his "family" is truly worth following!
"The Sect Master is a man of great sentiment; this old man admires you!"
Dugu Bo bowed deeply, his tone extremely sincere:
"It was this old man who was narrow-minded.
Since those two killed the Sect Master's 'family,' dying here was indeed letting them off easy!"
Dugu Xin was also moved, secretly vowing in his heart that
He must protect the people and things the Sect Master cares about in the future, because this master would truly fight for his own people.
Seeing the two of them completely convinced, Yu Jingcheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This lie had been successfully rounded off.
Not only did it explain Iron Head's origin, but it also established a "sentimental" persona for himself.
More importantly, if he showed any other abilities related to the Dragon Clan in the future, he could pin them on that non-existent "teacher."
Three birds with one stone.
"Alright, the past is the past."
Yu Jingcheng waved his hand and said calmly.
"Now that the trouble is resolved, we should get down to business."
'Originally, I planned to wait for Dugu Bo to Breakthrough to Titled Douluo before taking him to find the Golden Tortoise.'
'But since the Golden Earth Dragon Clan still recognizes me, this makes things easier.'
Yu Jingcheng thought to himself.
'Xiao Jin also has ninety-seven thousand years of cultivation. If I give it an Immortal Herb, its Breakthrough to the 100,000-year limit will be set in stone.'
'In the future, I will have an enforcer in the Star Dou Great Forest.'
Xiao Jin was the second strongest in the Golden Earth Dragon Clan.
After Yu Jingcheng's human transformation, it became the first.
And it obeyed Yu Jingcheng unconditionally.
As for why?
Because the Golden Earth Dragon King that Yu Jingcheng transmigrated into was its biological older brother!
