Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 1437: Chapter 1440: Issue a Reward

”Bastard! No wonder this brat looks so indifferent; he’s been ready to face death all along!”

The Black Mist Serpent cursed as it sensed no disturbances within the volcano’s crater. Its figure flashed as it dove straight into the volcano.

Roar!

A thunderous roar erupted as the Black Mist Serpent violently lashed its tail.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A surge of powerful force slammed into the magma below, causing it to part rapidly on both sides. Jiang Chen, who had been about to fall into the magma, suddenly found himself with some safe distance.

Buzz!

A formidable aura emerged abruptly, and a phantom figure materialized above Jiang Chen.

The Black Mist Serpent’s expression shifted slightly before it sneered, ”Dragon Saint, is manifesting yourself now of any use? This brat belongs to me!”

Swish!

The Black Mist Serpent opened its maw and inhaled sharply toward the descending Jiang Chen. Uncontrollably, Jiang Chen’s body ascended rapidly, narrowly avoiding the returning magma that had collided with the volcano’s walls.

Bang!

Under the Black Mist Serpent’s control, Jiang Chen’s body collided with the phantom of the Dragon Saint, shattering it into fragments.

Buzz!

Another formidable aura appeared, materializing once more behind the Black Mist Serpent.

”Dragon Saint, what now? Another manifestation? Are you here just to watch me capture him? Haha! That brat, the one chosen by that dead dragon, will soon become my slave! Hahaha!”

The Black Mist Serpent laughed maniacally, its tail coiling toward the airborne Jiang Chen.

”Dragon-Tyrant Technique, second move—Dragon Swallows Rivers and Mountains!”

Suddenly, Jiang Chen radiated a dazzling golden light. He mobilized all his Dragon Qi within, striking downward toward the magma with his palm.

Roar!

A dragon’s shadow emerged from Jiang Chen’s palm and charged fiercely toward the magma below.

”Damned brat! Are you trying to trigger a volcanic eruption?! Dream on!”

The Black Mist Serpent bellowed with rage as its tail coiled around Jiang Chen’s body. The moment it enwrapped him, Jiang Chen immediately lost consciousness.

The Black Mist Serpent flicked its tail, hurling Jiang Chen upward. Its figure flashed as it pursued the dragon shadow heading downward!

”Dragon-Tyrant Technique, third move—Dragon Moves Nine Provinces!”

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

An ancient voice echoed as the Dragon Saint’s second manifestation solidified. Drenched in radiant golden light, a nearly tangible Golden Divine Dragon surged from the Dragon Saint’s hands, lunging violently at the Black Mist Serpent.

”Impossible! Y-you’re not a manifestation! You’re the real body?!” The Black Mist Serpent’s face twisted in shock as it cried out.

Seeing the incoming Golden Divine Dragon, the Black Mist Serpent tried to dodge, but it was already too late.

Boom!

The Golden Divine Dragon struck the Black Mist Serpent, sending a thick plume of black mist spiraling into the air. The Black Mist Serpent plummeted down at high speed.

Boom!

Crash!

Another deafening roar erupted. Jiang Chen’s Dragon Swallows Rivers and Mountains had struck the magma, sending it explosively surging upward. The magma engulfed the Black Mist Serpent instantly, surging toward Jiang Chen and the Dragon Saint above.

The Dragon Saint darted forward, grabbing Jiang Chen mid-air before leaping out of the volcano.

Moments later, a fiery column of magma erupted toward the heavens.

”Ah—!”

”Jiang Chen, Dragon Saint, I’ll kill you both...!”

The piercing screeches of the Black Mist Serpent abruptly went silent.

The Black Mist Serpent had disintegrated into ash, merging into the magma’s flames.

”Hahahaha...”

High above the volcano, the Dragon Saint’s laughter resounded.

Amid his long, triumphant laughter, he gradually disappeared...

In the tower behind the Divine Shrine.

”Damn it! Damn it! Dragon Saint, Jiang Chen, I will have your lives! I will kill you both!”

The tower echoed with furious roars.

A towering phantom serpent as tall as the three-tiered tower itself struggled violently within. Chains of iron bound it tightly, but no sound came from the chains despite its fierce thrashing.

”Eight-Headed Serpent, your ambitions are doomed. The moment you first conceived wiping out humanity, your fate was sealed! You should not exist in this world!”

An elegant voice sounded from within the tower as golden flashes shimmered along the chains binding the serpent.

”Jiang Wuqing, shut your mouth!”

The serpent bellowed in rage, ”Dragon Descendants! You damn Dragon Descendants! The Dragon Valley has already been sealed off; you still hope they will return? Still hope to borrow their strength? Dream on! You—the ones least worthy of existing in this world!”

Amid its enraged howls.

Swish, swish, swish!

Outside the tower, three figures landed in the courtyard before it.

Thud! Thud!

Sanmu Zhengnai and Jingshang Chuisi immediately fell to their knees before the iron tower, speaking frantically, ”Great Deity, forgive us! We failed to complete the mission and have let you down. Please punish us!”

”Punishing you—will that bring back Jiang Chen? Huh? Punishing you, will it retrieve the Eight Yata Mirror or the Qiong Gouyu?!”

The Eight-Headed Serpent’s rage-filled voice emerged from the tower: ”Cangben Zhennan!”

”Present!”

Cangben Zhennan bowed respectfully.

”Begin the search for the Eight Yata Mirror immediately. I won’t wait any longer. I must restore my physical body now. Relying on you fools, I’d never get it back in this lifetime!”

”Understood!”

Cangben Zhennan responded obediently before leaping away from the tower.

”Sanmu Zhengnai, Jingshang Chuisi, gather every Martial Artist within Beihai National’s Venerable Realm or above. I want them all under my command. I will bring chaos to the entire world, and let all humanity know—because of Jiang Chen, terror will engulf the globe!”

The Eight-Headed Serpent’s voice echoed with a chilling intent to kill!

”Yes!”

Sanmu Zhengnai and Jingshang Chuisi trembled as they hurriedly stood and left the tower.

”And one more thing!”

The Eight-Headed Serpent called out again.

Thud!

Sanmu Zhengnai and Jingshang Chuisi dropped to their knees once more.

”Issue a bounty—capture Jiang Chen alive, and I will reward one billion, one billion!”

”Understood!”

The two obeyed respectfully, and sensing no further orders, they bowed deeply before darting away from the tower.

...

In a forested area on Yanjing County’s outskirts.

Jiang Chen was enveloped in a profound, mysterious glow. Above him floated a pristine white Jade Stone.

This stone was none other than the Eight Yata Mirror Jiang Chen had seized.

Standing nearby, the Dragon Saint watched Jiang Chen with a face full of envy. ”Kid, what sort of dumb luck do you have? Your soul power was drained clean by the Eight-Headed Serpent, your Dragon Qi and blood energy completely depleted, and your soul origin was on the verge of collapse. Your cultivation was about to regress, and your inner Qi nearly vanished. And yet, you managed to snatch this treasure.”

”Heh, others see this as the Beihai National’s Qiong Gouyu, but they don’t know it’s actually our Supreme Sacred Dragon Jade. And as luck would have it, I know how to use it. Your fortune is truly ridiculous...”

”Hahaha!”

The Dragon Saint chuckled mid-sentence and laughed heartily, ”Eight-Headed Serpent, oh Eight-Headed Serpent, you foul snake, always scheming against others. This time, you yourself were outplayed by this brat! Hahaha! Delightful! Hahaha... Losing a Saint Realm’s Soul Clone like this, you must be livid!”

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Suddenly, mysterious waves of energy radiated from Jiang Chen.

The Dragon Saint’s eyes lit up as he fixed his gaze intently on Jiang Chen.
