Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 1159, Jiang Baishen Makes His Move

Translator: Silavin

“Hahahahaha, fair enough!” Jiang Baihe burst out laughing at once. “Fair enough! If we were truly to fight within the Sacred Jiang Family and let our stronghold get damaged, what a pity that would be. In that case, why don’t the two of us Brothers strike down these invaders right here, and when the time comes to rebuild the Sacred Jiang Family, it will be simpler!”

With that, his aura surged up a notch, and he charged straight at Lu Fan.

It seemed that the battle against Lu Fan prior to this had ground down much of his fighting spirit.

But now that Jiang Baishen had appeared, it had reignited once more, feeling that he again had a chance at victory.

This was simply human nature: when one anticipates certain defeat, courage may still surge. A fearless, forward-pressing drive. Yet deep within, there remains a profound sense of unease, a hesitancy that creeps into every attack.

Yet now, Jiang Baishen’s arrival was nothing short of a shot of courage poured directly into Jiang Baihe’s veins, rekindling his hope.

Combined with the boldness he had thrown himself into the fight with earlier, his Combat Power reached a peak he had never before attained!

Lu Fan could clearly sense the difference in the opponent’s condition and, though he could not say he was afraid, he still felt it was somewhat troublesome.

This was because Jiang Baishen alone already appeared to be far stronger than both the Jiang Family Mountain God and Jiang Baihe combined.

On top of that, there was a Jiang Baihe fighting without holding anything back. The pressure on his own side was considerable.

Fighting head-on was certainly not an option. Lu Fan would need to employ certain methods to ensure that after sweeping aside both Jiang Brothers, he still had enough left in reserve to deal with the Slaughter Ancient God.

With Jiang Baihe charging towards him, Lu Fan once again activated his Golden Dragon Bloodline, sending his own condition surging upwards, and then traded blow for blow against Jiang Baihe.

*Boom!*

The two clashed, and the force that erupted was earthshaking.

Lu Fan did not choose to continue brawling with Jiang Baihe and instead used the momentum of that strike to retreat, creating distance between himself and Jiang Baihe.

“Trying to run?” The more Jiang Baihe fought, the more fired up he became. Seeing Lu Fan falling back, he instead actively sought to press the pursuit.

However, the moment he rushed forward, an overwhelming chill cascaded down, and an Ice Wall instantly rose up, blocking his path.

Moreover, Jiang Baihe had charged so deep that one of his arms was frozen solid within the Ice Wall, momentarily unable to break free.

And still the ice was spreading upwards along his arm, looking very much as though it intended to encase his entire body.

Jiang Baihe let out a crude curse, knowing full well this was a Skill from Lu Fan’s Frost Dragon.

Compared to all the other Giant Dragons, Lin Dong imposed the greatest restriction upon Jiang Baihe by far.

His Skill, Golden Light Talisman, granted him extraordinarily High Resistance. Even against Ji Ji’s poison, he could hold his own to some degree and, though he would endure some suffering, it would not impact his Combat Power too greatly.

But Lin Dong was an entirely different matter. As a Crowd Control Type Pet Dragon whose capabilities were centred primarily on Crowd Control, Lin Dong’s Skills were an absolute headache for Jiang Baihe!

His Golden Light Talisman simply could not withstand Lin Dong’s Crowd Control. The moment the chill enveloped him, he would suffer a Slow Debuff.

Should the Debuffs stack, they could even Freeze his entire body!

It was precisely Lin Dong’s presence that meant throughout his battle against Lu Fan, Jiang Baihe constantly needed to flee and evade her Skills.

One moment of carelessness and her Skill would connect, plunging him into a disadvantaged state.

Now, seeing Lin Dong make her move again to obstruct his pursuit of Lu Fan, the fury within Jiang Baihe’s heart could well be imagined.

He let out a furious roar, raised his left fist, golden light blazing at the tip of his knuckles, and then drove it thunderously into the Ice Wall directly before him.

*Boom!*

The ice wall instantly crumbled and shattered, obliterated by a single punch.

Almost the very instant the Ice Wall exploded apart, Lu Fan came charging in with his spear.

At this point, Lu Fan was no longer fighting in his Golden Dragon King Form, and instead fought with Refined Undefiled in hand. Without the powerful defensive capability of the Golden Dragon King, his style of combat was a lot more flexible.

Jiang Baihe could not quite understand why Lu Fan had suddenly shifted his tactics, but faced with Lu Fan charging at him, he showed not the slightest intention of showing mercy. He spun around, and two Talismans flew from his hand.

The Talismans left his grip, yet Jiang Baihe did not simply let them attack Lu Fan on their own.

Instead, he spun around with a punch, his knuckles driving into the Talismans and compressing all of their power into the very tip of his fist, using them as a means of amplification to strike at Lu Fan.

Lu Fan’s momentum did not falter in the slightest, looking as though he intended to trade blow for blow with Jiang Baihe, exchanging injury for injury.

Jiang Baihe was perfectly happy with this arrangement. After all, he still had the Golden Light Talisman protecting him, and his Defence was formidable.

Furthermore, Lu Fan was in his Human Form, not his Golden Dragon King Form, so his Defence should therefore fall below Jiang Baihe’s.

Thus, in trading injury for injury, Jiang Baihe stood to gain more.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

Both attacks landed squarely upon the other, and Refined Undefiled pierced straight through Jiang Baihe’s Golden Light Talisman, blasting a hole in his abdomen. Blood poured freely downwards.

Meanwhile, Jiang Baihe’s fist landed upon Lu Fan’s chestplate, and the armour formed by the Little Blade Armour Dragon King instantly shattered with a massive breach. Broken fragments drove into Lu Fan’s flesh, leaving his chest a bloody ruin.

As if that were not enough, the power of Jiang Baihe’s Talismans erupted along with it, running rampant across Lu Fan’s body.

The tremendous impact sent Lu Fan flying backwards.

Yet at this moment, Lu Fan suddenly released his grip on Refined Undefiled, letting it remain lodged within Jiang Baihe’s body. Instead, he reached out and seized Jiang Baihe’s arm, keeping him from making any further move.

Jiang Baihe suddenly seemed to grasp something and tried to break free of Lu Fan’s grip.

Yet at that very moment, a sharp sense of crisis abruptly surged through his heart.

A streak of red light appeared without warning, slicing towards the back of Jiang Baihe’s heart.

In only an instant, that red light had pierced through Jiang Baihe’s skin, driving straight towards the region of his heart.

Jiang Baihe’s reaction was not slow. At the moment he sensed Ye Sha’s ambush, evading it would not have been especially difficult.

However, Lu Fan was now gripping him with an iron hold, and the wound from Refined Undefiled was ceaselessly eroding his nerves, making his reactions sluggish. Thus, Jiang Baihe was utterly powerless to dodge that lethal strike!

His body had been reforged by the Ancient God Power of the Slaughter Ancient God, and as such, there was no concept of a weak point. Even with Ye Sha’s strike plunging into the region of his heart, he could preserve his life and allow the wound to heal.

However, healing a wound of this severity required an immense outpouring of Ancient God Power. Jiang Baihe was willing to expend so much of it on healing an injury born of a moment’s carelessness.

Yet it seemed, for the moment, that he had no other choice.

Just then, a ray of golden light suddenly fell, striking Ye Sha, who had just inflicted a wound upon Jiang Baihe.

In an instant, Ye Sha was knocked out of his Concealment by a single punch and sent crashing to the ground.

The one who had attacked Ye Sha and come to Jiang Baihe’s rescue was, naturally, Jiang Baishen.

With a single move, Jiang Baishen’s strength was plainly above Jiang Baihe’s.

Even someone as formidable as Ye Sha was sent flying by his one punch.

And that was not all. Jiang Baishen extended his fingers, and in an instant, ray upon ray of golden light erupted from his fingertips.
