Chapter 536 Returning Home
Half a day passed.
Su Ping opened his eyes when the countdown clock appeared in his mind.
The dragon onlookers that gathered outside the seal had gradually left. Some purple-blood dragons would step over the seal Su Ping was in when they were going uphill.
The purple-blood dragon which was there to guard the seal sneered. It had learned from their leaders that the vermin had upset the higher-ups, so he would be kept in the seal till the last day of his life.
“What are you looking at now? Consider being stomped upon by us dragons an honor,” said the purple-blood dragon with arrogance.
Su Ping looked at the dragon from the corner of his eye. Those arrogant words didn’t faze him; he didn’t have to get upset over an insignificant dragon.
I must cultivate harder after I go back. I must reach the legendary rank as soon as possible. Su Ping planned about what he should do after his return. He was hardly able to gain the upper hand in the Realm of Purple-blood Dragons when he wasn’t at the legendary rank. For the moment, he would avoid returning to that place. He had to focus on his life in the real world.
The countdown had finally reached the zero count.
The purple-blood dragon was still sneering at Su Ping when he began to flicker, and a dark swirl swallowed him whole. The prisoner had vanished.
That sudden change of things had scared the purple-blood dragon pale. The purple-blood dragon hurried to check but failed to pick up any trace of Su Ping. It went immediately to report the escape.
The old dragon at the Star Rank and the other purple-blood dragons were checking the dragon origin on the mountain top. To their dismay, they found that a great deal of the dragon origin had been lost; it was an amount that should have been enough to heal over a hundred wounded Void State dragons and help ten dragons reach the legendary rank! “That bastard!”
“What a vermin. I cannot believe that vermin can use our dragon origin to reconstruct a body, not to mention that it received part of our bloodline. That vermin should be condemned!”
“When that human dies, let’s find that dragon and skin it!”
The purple-blood dragons were furious.
It was then when they learned about the disappearance of their prisoner.
The two purple-blood dragons that had carried Su Ping downhill were unable to believe it. They pierced the messenger dragon with their glares. “What did you just say? Did he run off? He was impaled and robbed of all his strength, not to mention that I confined the space around him. How could he have possibly run off?!”
The messenger had a gruesome feeling as it was stared at by the old dragon and the other dragon leaders. Truly frightened, the messenger answered with a trembling voice, “My lords, I, I have been watching him carefully. That bastard suddenly began to flicker and something sucked him in.”
“You fool!” One of the purple-blood dragons smashed the messenger’s head.
That messenger opened its eyes wide in fear and could not close its eyes before its head was crushed. The dragon died and a puff of soul floated out. A swirl leading to the realm of the dead appeared around the soul, trying to drag it inside.
“Sir, save me. It wasn’t my fault!”
“Get lost! You cannot even guard a petty human. What do we need you for!”
The swirl ate up the soul which was still begging and struggling, but the efforts were futile.
“I will go and take a look,” said one of the dragons before it dashed down the mountain
top.
“I cannot believe that the human is gone.” “Sh*t. No wonder that human was so worry-free when he was here. He had other plans!”
“But we had searched him more than thoroughly. He had no artifact that could produce such effects. What method did he employ?” The other purple-blood dragons talked in indignation. They had just imprisoned Su Ping half a day before, but he had already run off. It seemed that their threat of imprisoning him for the rest of his life had merely been a joke to him.
The old Star Rank dragon was not happy at all. It remembered what Su Ping had mentioned, about how nothing would be able to stop him if he wanted to leave. The old dragon realized that Su Ping had to be telling the truth.
Indeed, that was a creature full of mysteries. The old dragon believed that if it could dig out all those mysteries and make them its own, it would be invincible!
“Find him. Search the entire world!” the old dragon ordered after a moment of silence.
Su Ping had returned to his store while the entire Realm of Purple-blood Dragons was turned upside down.
He reappeared in the pet room. He noticed that Joanna was staring at him as soon as he emerged. Confused, Su Ping looked down, only to see that his clothes had been torn into nothingness when he fought. He was standing there, utterly naked. The Little Skeleton was scattered around his feet as bone pieces. The Dragon Spike had sealed off all of his powers; the Little Skeleton had also been impaled as well, and had similarly lost all of its powers.
Not even the actual Skeleton King could have been immune to the Dragon Spike.
“This Dragon Spike…” Su Ping stared at the huge, blood-red object lying in front of him. It was the Dragon Spike that was lodged in his chest.
After his return, the Dragon Spike was pulled out from his chest. The system had cured all of his wounds, also taking out the Dragon Spike.
Su Ping suddenly thought that his wound had not been for nothing. At the very least, he had picked up quite a powerful object.
Su Ping placed the Dragon Spike in the storage space, then he dug out some clothes and got changed.
“So? What do you think? Anything appealing to your eyes?” Su Ping asked Joanna.
Joanna slowly looked away. “There’s nothing to see. You have nothing other than the body of a mortal being. I have seen more than enough of them.”
Su Ping replied, “What are you talking about. I’m asking you about my clothes.”
Joanna looked away. Su Ping told the Little Skeleton, which was still lying on the ground, to take a rest in the nursing pen because the ground was too cold.
The Little Skeleton didn’t disagree. The scattered bones began to roll around headed to one of the nursing pens, where it stayed as a pile of bones.
Su Ping was speechless. How lazy would the Little Skeleton have to be to worm its way back to the nursing pen without even standing up to walk back?
Su Ping gazed at the Little Skeleton tenderly. It didn’t die too many times In the battle. The Little Skeleton would revive on its own, unless it was attacked by the old Star Rank dragon, or the other purple-blood dragons working. Su Ping had to admit that the Little Skeleton had become a very tough pet after gaining the bloodline of the Skeleton King. Not even a creature at the peak of the Fate State would have been able to kill the Little Skeleton easily. Su Ping gave one final look to the Little Skeleton and left the pet room. He pushed the door open and greeted Tang Ruyan and Zhong Lingtong. He went to the test room and summoned the Inferno Dragon.
Boom!
The Inferno Dragon landed in the test room. It was fortunate that the test room was spacious. Even a dragon that was over a thousand meters long, like the old Star Rank dragon, could have fit in the room.
As he stared at the Inferno Dragon that currently had part of the purple-blood dragon’s bloodline, Su Ping could almost sense the surge of profound energy in his pet. Su Ping supposed that the other dragons of the titled rank would be awed by the Inferno Dragon’s might alone; they would kneel in front of this pet!
Su Ping cast an identification spell on the Inferno Dragon.
Inferno Dragon
Property: pet of the dragon family Rank: the intermediate position of the ninth rank
Combat Strength: 25
Aptitude: above average
Talent Skills: elementary agility talent
Bloodline Skills: Purple Dragon’s Breath, Bloody Dragon Soul Abilities Mastered: Demon Flame, Dragon Soul Elegy, Thunder Roar, Giant Claw, Evil Bellow, Dragon Aura, Dragon Fission… Su Ping was impressed by all the skills. He didn’t expect that the Inferno Dragon would also reach the intermediate position of the ninth rank, like the Little Skeleton, upon coming back to life. But compared to the Little Skeleton, the Inferno Dragon’s combat strength was not as good, being at 25. It seemed that the bloodline the Little Skeleton had acquired was even purer.
