Chapter 291 What Should a Real Dragon King Be Like
"I thought you were just going to do another boring assassination, but I didn't expect that you have finally grown up... Mr. Liuli." The king looked at Fengjian Liuli who was silently staying behind Gu Ye. A breeze messed up Fengjian Liuli's hair, making it impossible to see his expression.
"I have waited for this day for too long. I had planned to go to Tokyo and wait for an opportunity after you sent me the message, but I didn't expect that God would finally favor me." Fengjian Liuli raised her head with a bright smile on her face.
When Gu Ye came to Paradise Hall, Feng Jian Liuli happened to receive a message from Wang Jiang, which was the information of the three executive commissioners of Cassel.
Feng Jian Liuli spent a lot of time looking up the information, and it was because of this that he missed the opportunity to leave. But it was also because of this that he was able to truly realize that there were people like Gu Ye in the world.
He didn't care what would happen after the Dragon King revived. Long before he was thrown into the dry well by Yuan Zhisheng, he had already understood that the so-called justice was just a high-sounding excuse for those with power.
He has killed many people over the years, and his subordinates always find various excuses for him, saying that this is necessary for the revival of the ghosts... or that it is all their fault for blocking the Dragon King's way forward.
But only Feng Jian Liuli himself knew that all this was just his imagination. That's right... it's that simple, as long as you are strong enough, you don't need to find any reasons, the people behind you will naturally explain for you.
"To be honest, I should thank you for bringing me out of the mountains and teaching me until today... I will give you a decent funeral." Perhaps because freedom was just around the corner, Fengjian Liuli spoke more.
General Wang once said that this is a world where people eat each other, but what they eat is not the flesh, but the value of the other person.
The thugs on the street ask shops for protection fees, and they live on the fat of those people. The gang leaders collect money from the thugs, and they also live on the fat of the thugs.
The same is true outside the underworld. Business owners recruit workers and get rich by eating their fat. The consortium eats the business owners, the banks eat the consortium, and politicians are the biggest gluttons in society, they eat everyone.
He said that the world is so cruel. If you don't eat others, others will eat you, so you have to find ways to eat others to make yourself stronger. The higher you climb, the more you can eat.
And Feng Jianli is constantly learning from Wang Jiang. Even though he hates this man very much, his subconscious mind has already agreed with this theory. Now... is the time for him to put it into practice.
With the help of Gu Ye's power, he will transform into the zombie that he hates the most and devour the king. He will eventually break out of the cocoon and be reborn.
"Hahahahahaha, very good... I am really getting more and more satisfied with you." General Wang laughed loudly, and stopped after a long time, looking at Gu Ye who was silent.
"This is the first time I've seen a world without any life... Which one of the four kings are you?"
As Fengjian Liuli's teacher, Wang Jiang was very familiar with the illusion-based words, and he was sure that he was definitely not in an illusion. Everything was extremely real, and even revealed a desperate taste of dead silence.
He obviously discovered that this strange city was completely lifeless. Not only was there no sense of living things, but even the buildings, the air, and the wind seemed extremely dead.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Gu Ye looked at the strange guy in front of him and did not answer Wang Jiang's question. He could feel the dragon blood in Wang Jiang's body. He was indeed a mixed-race, but the aura he exuded was really too weak.
Why is Kazama Ruri so afraid of this person? Obviously, his strength seems to be only slightly stronger than Sakurai Kogure, and is completely incomparable to Kazama Ruri.
"I don't know what kind of deal he made with you, but it is obvious that I am more valuable than him." General Wang bowed slightly to Gu Ye.
"I developed the potion that allowed the ghosts to evolve, and I also discovered the burial place of the gods. If you need to conquer the world, I am your better choice..."
In Wang Jiang's mind, the dragons have always been the perfect creatures at the top of the food chain. They are ruthless and will only choose the path that is beneficial to themselves. And Feng Jian Liuli... no matter how much he pays, he will not be more useful than himself.
"I have spent my entire life studying your race, so no one knows better than me what kind of help you need." The king said with a hint of complacency in his tone, waiting for Gu Ye's answer.
"Puchi..." A cold sneer was heard. Gu Ye looked at the guy who looked like a clown and couldn't help but turn his head.
"Xia Mi, he said he knows a lot about the dragon clan?"
General Wang raised his head and glanced in the direction of Gu Ye, only to find that there was a beautiful girl on the right side of Gu Ye, which was originally empty.
The girl grabbed Gu Ye's hand and leaned her head on his arm, with the same sneering expression on her face, which made General Wang feel vaguely uncomfortable.
As a human, no one behaves more like a dragon than he does, and no one understands dragons better than him. Being looked at like this, even though he thought he had gotten rid of useless emotions, he still felt a little ashamed and angry.
"Are you very dissatisfied?" Gu Ye suddenly spoke, with a chilling gleam in his golden eyes.
"You think that dragons are ruthless, proud, and supreme... but this is just your pitiful speculation. Tell him what the real dragons... no, the real dragon kings are like..."
"It's very simple, there is nothing superfluous in our world..." Xia Mi took over Gu Ye's words without even looking at Wang Jiang.
"Those who go against us will die. This is our law!"
Domineering! Undisguised domineering! The so-called ruthlessness and brutality are just human imaginations. There is no such mess in the world of the Dragon King.
The king is born to rule over everything, so he appears to be ruthless and tyrannical, but these are just appendages of royal power.
"Put away your self-righteousness. I don't need anyone to teach me how to do things. You are indeed more useful than Fengjian Liuli, but... I don't like you, so you will die, it's that simple." Gu Ye said.
Feng Jian Liuli, who was on Gu Ye's left hand side, breathed a sigh of relief. He even thought that General Wang would convince Gu Ye. He was so focused on freedom that he almost forgot that General Wang's technology would drive all hybrids crazy.
But obviously, these things did not satisfy the king, and Feng Jian Liuli had a new understanding of the dragon clan. Regardless of whether other dragons existed only for desire, the king was different from all creatures, they were born to dominate everything.
The self-righteous answer of the king made Gu Ye, the king, very uncomfortable. Why did he think he could change the king's opinion? From beginning to end, even when facing the real Dragon King, the king still did not let go of his pride.
"It seems that our negotiations have broken down? Well... I can only apologize. Although you and God belong to the same race, you are not invincible. I even want to surpass God, so what does this matter..." While speaking, the king took out a pair of black wooden clappers from his waist.
Fengjian Liuli's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. The moment Wang Jiang raised his hand, his face turned pale.
"Stop him! Stop him now!"
Gu Ye was unmoved and just watched his little tricks with some boredom, as if he was watching a clown in a circus.
The knocking sounds were very rhythmic, accompanied by the rustling sound of friction, like Indian music, and on the rooftop where they were, some kind of creature seemed to be awakened and was getting closer.
In the hazy wind and rain, countless black shadows slowly rose from under the tall buildings. The rain hit their blue-gray scales and broke into white foam. They spread their wings several meters wide like moths and waved gently, with a graceful rhythm. Their long tails like snakes and fish slowly unrolled. "It's a pity that you made a mistake in not isolating my pets. I don't think you can exert much power in human form, right?" The king's tone became lighter only after he saw the group of deadpools.
He was actually also gambling. Ever since Gu Ye rejected him, he had no other way to escape, so he placed all his hopes on the group of Deadpools lying in ambush here.
After disappearing from the Paradise Pavilion, General Wang had already noticed something, so he summoned a large group of his own research results. Although the man and woman in front of him looked not simple, and they might even be Dragon Kings, there was no way to solve it.
Coming to meet him in human form was their biggest mistake. Before the dragon race recovered their true victorious posture, their spiritual power and physical strength were not much different from those of a super hybrid like Fengjian Liuli.
But his pets are different, they have shed their human bodies and are infinitely close to the true form of dragons. What's more, there is not just one, but an entire legion.
"I am very satisfied with the research materials you brought me. After I have collected them, let's talk about the price of betrayal..." General Wang glanced at Fengjian Liuli who could no longer stand.
The long black hair was disheveled in the wind and rain. The Deadpools opened their mouths, revealing their thorny sharp teeth, and roared at Gu Ye and Xia Mi.
"Go, my children..." Wang continued to knock the clapper, and the group of deadpools rushed towards Gu Ye like sharks smelling blood.
The blue-grey scales surrounded the two people, and the snake tails were entangled with each other randomly, like a ball of wool. They were attracted by Gu Ye's pure blood and greedily wanted to devour him.
Countless blood splashed, it was the blood of the deadpools who started fighting for Gu Ye's flesh and blood. And Wang Jiang silently appreciated the performance in front of him.
He didn't know why the two suspected dragon kings didn't resist at all, nor why they didn't even have time to use their words. But even a dragon king in human form couldn't survive such an encirclement.
The dragon race is really regressing as time goes by... They look down on humans so much, is it because after thousands of years of slumber, they still believe that humans are a powerless and weak race?
The movements of the Deadpools became more and more intense. Wang Jiang looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to remember this magical place. He was the leader of the Ghosts and a researcher before, so he didn't want to miss any existence he didn't know.
Such an area might be the Nibelungen mentioned in mythology. This might be the last time the king would see the scene before the evolution was complete. The king would cherish it.
Unfortunately, the Nibelungen did not gradually collapse as he had expected, but instead remained stable. This made him quickly come to his senses and look at the group of Deadpools that were gathered together.
Is it...
Sizzle... The sound of flesh being roasted was heard, and the pungent smell of burning entered General Wang's nostrils, followed by a flash of fire shooting up into the sky.
Under the platinum flames, the group of Deadpools melted rapidly like snow, and the legion he was so proud of disappeared into thin air.
What caught his eye was Gu Ye in a black kimono, and next to him stood Xia Mi in a kimono embroidered with cherry blossom patterns. Both of them were unharmed in the firelight. The air flow blew Xia Mi's hair, and the king saw her eyes.
That mocking look, as if looking at a clown...
"I have to say, as a human being you did give me some surprises, but that's all." Gu Ye sighed and raised his hand slightly.
“No... I’m still useful... I..." Wang Jiang finally began to panic. His body kept shaking and his voice became intermittent.
But before he could finish, the pillar of fire rose again, and in the platinum flames, his limbs continued to twist, and the Noh mask began to shrink, and finally turned completely into a ball of charcoal.
"Is it over...?" Fengjian Liuli stared blankly at General Wang's corpse, somewhat incredulous. The next moment he laughed like crazy.
“It’s over…hahaha…it’s all over!”
"I really can't understand why you are afraid of such a clown." Gu Ye sighed.
"An existence like you will never understand this. This is the natural fear of humans towards ghosts." Fengjian Liuli said softly.
Wang Jiang is like an immortal ghost. No matter how your throat is cut last time, he will come back intact next time.
This has always been a huge mountain looming in Fengjian Liuli's heart, making it hard for him to breathe, but now... the mountain has finally been removed.
In the myth of Yugong moving the mountain, the Jade Emperor sent two gods who effortlessly moved away the mountain that had troubled Yugong's ancestors. In the eyes of the gods, perhaps Yugong's difficulties were something they could easily solve?
Gu Ye is now the god in the myth, and Feng Jian Liuli is the mortal who is helped by the god. But he knows that if he cannot meet Gu Ye's requirements, his fate may be even more miserable than that of Wang Jiang...
"What do you need me to do next? My lord..." Fengjian Liuli tidied up her messy clothes and spoke respectfully.
"What's next... haven't we gone to have some fun yet?" Gu Ye thought for a moment and turned to look at Xia Mi.
Since arriving in Japan, Gu Ye has been running around non-stop, and he did not forget to take Xia Mi out to play.
"Yes, you promised me..." Xia Mi nodded.
"Then let's go back to Tokyo and have some fun first. As for you..." Gu Ye looked at Fengjian Liuli.
"I need you to spread some information, and you can do whatever you want afterwards..." Gu Ye spoke softly, and told Feng Jian Liuli about the future plan. Feng Jian Liuli lowered her head and listened carefully.
"Let's go, let's go on our honeymoon in advance..." After saying that, Gu Ye hugged Xia Mi and snapped his fingers.
The next moment, Fengjian Liuli felt dizzy. When she came to her senses, she was back in Abeno Building, but Gu Ye and Xia Mi had disappeared.
Standing up and looking down at the brightly lit Osaka below, Kazama Ruri had never felt so happy. He took out a photo from his arms.
Above is a photo of Caesar, Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei. It seems that they have just completed some kind of training. Lu Mingfei and Caesar are lying on the ground, while Chu Zihang is sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
He looked at the thin figure. Although he looked frail, there was a different kind of determination in his eyes.
Kazama Ruri gently stroked the photo with her white fingers, her smile blooming like a flower: "I also want to go to Tokyo... to see what kind of existence this guy is."
