Chapter 853: Chapter 853: Long Mengdie Appears
In an instant, the once ferocious Skyfire Explosion Divine Power dimmed immediately after the dragon-robed man uttered those two words.
Even the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire, of the skyfire level, began to fade under the opponent’s invisible force, and eventually extinguished completely.
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Fei’s Skyfire Explosion Divine Power instantly collapsed!
"Dragon! Emperor!"
A hateful utterance of these two words came from Zhu Fei’s mouth.
Yes, the dragon-robed man who suddenly appeared before him was indeed the current Palace Master of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace, the Dragon Emperor!
However, unlike the last time, this appearance of the Dragon Emperor was not a mere projection or avatar, but his true self!
At this moment, the Dragon Emperor looked at Zhu Fei, a slight smile slowly appearing on his majestic face, and nodded gently at Zhu Fei:
"Yue Dan Sect Master, nice to see you again."
Zhu Fei’s expression darkened slightly, and he spoke bluntly, "Dragon Emperor, what exactly do you mean by that just now? Do you mean that your Dragon God Heavenly Palace also wants to interfere in the affairs between me and Lan Qingshan?"
Faced with Zhu Fei’s blunt accusation, the Dragon Emperor remained unfazed, still smiling lightly as he said:
"Yue Dan Sect Master, Lan Qingshan is the father-in-law of my son Ao Yuan. Perhaps you could do me a favor and let him go?"
"That’s impossible!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Fei firmly refused.
What a joke! Given the current situation, how could Zhu Fei possibly let Lan Qingshan go? Even if the Dragon Emperor intervened, it was out of the question!
Moreover, the relationship between Zhu Fei and the Dragon Emperor was indeed one of enmity, not friendship. The Dragon Emperor’s face held no value before Zhu Fei.
"Alas..."
The Dragon Emperor sighed softly, then continued, "If that’s the case, then we have nothing more to talk about. It seems, perhaps, I must really intervene in the matter between the two of you today."
Zhu Fei’s face turned cold, and he sneered, "Heh, then I’d really like to see whether you, the Dragon Emperor, can protect someone Zhu Fei wants to kill!"
With those words, Zhu Fei stopped speaking further, raised the Star Dream Moon Sword, and fiercely slashed toward Lan Qingshan behind the Dragon Emperor!
Great Five Elements Sword Array!
"Buzz—"
In an instant, five towering Sword Qi mountains rapidly circled each other in a mutually reinforcing and counteracting manner, expanding and flashing, reaching Lan Qingshan’s back in the blink of an eye!
Seeing this scene, the Dragon Emperor’s previously smiling face slightly darkened.
He extended a finger toward Zhu Fei’s Great Five Elements Sword Array, and lightly pointed while uttering, "Divine Power, Strip..."
Before the Dragon Emperor could finish saying the word ’Strip’, his expression suddenly changed as if he sensed something extremely dangerous!
No time to think, the Dragon Emperor’s form twisted in the void, instantly flashing hundreds of miles away.
At the moment the Dragon Emperor’s form left the original location, a gentle white light swiftly swept through his former spot, blasting an unfathomable black hole in the void!
"It’s you!"
A trace of anger flashed across the Dragon Emperor’s face. He was no longer composed as he was when facing Zhu Fei, his eyes fixed unwaveringly on where he had stood.
"That’s right, it’s me."
A gentle and melodious voice floated out from the deep black hole.
Then, the void flickered as a lady in a pale yellow dress with a beautiful face and noble temperament slowly walked out from the depths of the void, directly confronting the Dragon Emperor.
"Long! Meng! Die!"
The Dragon Emperor’s face turned gloomy as he slowly uttered these three words.
Long Mengdie merely smiled faintly, "Dragon Emperor, I mentioned long ago that our Dragon God Heavenly Palace would not interfere in anything related to Zhu Fei. Now that you have interfered, you can’t blame me for being disrespectful."
With that, Long Mengdie ignored the Dragon Emperor’s gradually darkening face and turned directly, smiling at Zhu Fei:
"Zhu Fei, handle Lan Qingshan however you like. I will take care of things here for you."
"Mm, thank you, Sister Long."
Zhu Fei smiled and nodded at Long Mengdie. Honestly, he hadn’t expected Long Mengdie to appear before now.
Although Zhu Fei still hadn’t figured out why Long Mengdie cared so much about him,
he genuinely felt that Long Mengdie’s concern for him was sincere, without any falseness.
Now that Long Mengdie was encouraging him to deal with Lan Qingshan, she evidently did not see the Dragon Emperor as a serious obstacle.
Thinking this, Zhu Fei no longer hesitated, and as the Star Dream Moon Sword moved in his hand, over ten more Sword Qi mountains roared toward Lan Qingshan!
"Zhu Fei, dare you!"
Seeing Zhu Fei indeed attack Lan Qingshan again as per Long Mengdie’s words, the Dragon Emperor was immediately furious.
He shouted loudly and moved to stop Zhu Fei with a spell in hand.
However, at that moment, Long Mengdie’s lovely figure had appeared in front of the Dragon Emperor. A cold glint flickered in her beautiful eyes as she said icily:
"Dragon Emperor, shall we try?"
"Long Mengdie, you..."
Blocked once more by Long Mengdie, the Dragon Emperor was nearly infuriated to the point of spitting blood.
His gaze was venomous, and a chilling intent shimmered in his eyes as he glared at Long Mengdie, saying:
"Long Mengdie, despite everything, we’re nominally father and daughter. Are you truly willing to turn against me, the Dragon Emperor, for a mere human brat?"
"Father and daughter?" Long Mengdie immediately laughed, "Dragon Emperor, how could you say that? If it weren’t for the rules of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace, which call for addressing the Palace Master and Goddess as such, do you think I would really acknowledge you?"
With that, Long Mengdie’s expression turned cold once more, speaking firmly:
"I don’t care what you think or say. If you intend to involve yourself in the matters between Zhu Fei and Lan Qingshan today, don’t blame me for disregarding familial ties!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
Long Mengdie’s words clearly angered the Dragon Emperor, who responded by repeating "Good" three times in a row.
Then, the aura around the Dragon Emperor surged dramatically, waves of formidable power rippling outwards from him as the center.
"Since that’s the case, I’d like to see the true strength of the most esteemed Goddess of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace today!"
With that, the Dragon Emperor’s figure began to distort, preparing to attack Long Mengdie. But just then, a cry from Lan Qingshan echoed across the distant void.
At that moment, Lan Qingshan’s transformed small avatar was completely destroyed under Zhu Fei’s full-force assault with the Great Five Elements Sword Array!
Subsequently, countless purple lightning bolts, like the most fierce flood dragons, cleared the field by reducing all the blood light remaining in the space to nothingness!
