Dragon Tamer

Lu Mu had three puppets in total.

Although the Piano Technician puppet wasn’t her most powerful one, it was her favorite. Yet, Zhu Minglang effortlessly saw through it and burned it to ashes.

“Is this your real body?” Zhu Minglang asked, looking at Lu Mu, who had changed her appearance.

“You guess,” the alluring and enchanting courtesan Lu Mu laughed again.

“How come you’re even uglier than before? I cherish beauty, but you have to be a beauty in the first place. A rock from a latrine? Consider yourself lucky if you don’t stink up the place, let alone be cherished,” Zhu Minglang seriously commented.

That remark struck a nerve, and the smile on Lu Mu’s face began to turn ominously dark and dreadful.

“You seem to misunderstand your situation. I came here first to demand Zhao Yin Ge from you, and secondly, to let you taste the bitterness of suffering. I don’t fancy using fire, but I can certainly strip off your skin and make a fresh, living puppet out of you!” Lu Mu’s gaze turned malicious!

“You’re nothing but a vile ghoul of a woman, so why bother flaunting yourself like that? The food and drinks from that day at the Silver Moon Pavilion are about to come up. In the future, when you’re about to kill someone or commit any atrocities, please spare us your delusions of national beauty and fragrance. Just show your true, fierce, and cold-blooded face; it suits your temperament and appearance much better,” Zhu Minglang continued.

Lu Mu was about to go insane!!!!

This bastard!!!!

Can’t he just shut up!!

Back at the Silver Moon Pavilion, when he said she wasn’t even on par with the women on the streets of Qin City, and yet she called herself a courtesan, it infuriated her to no end. Today, his words were even more infuriating and made her blood boil!!

No wonder Zhao Yin Ge hated this guy so much; no wonder An Qingfeng and Zhao Yu were even more eager to get rid of him.

Why must such a venomous-tongued person live in this world!!!

“You are courting death. We’re dozens of miles away from Qin City, and your servants can’t save you!” Lu Mu’s face was gloomy as she resembled a harpy!

“Is it just you then? Isn’t An Qingfeng going to show up?” Zhu Minglang asked with a smile.

“That’s enough. In my eyes, you’re just a wild dog that can bite,” Lu Mu said, and her eyes already had the chilling glare of a killer.

She suddenly launched an attack, her petite body unleashing astonishing power. The ground she stepped on broke apart, and in the blink of an eye, she was upon Zhu Minglang.

Her palms turned to frost, and a cold mist swirled around them as she struck towards Zhu Minglang’s chest. Instantly, the chilling power spread from the center of her palm, and a vast swathe of deadly ice burst forth with her palm strike…

The grassland froze in an instant, rocks turned to solid ice, and in the air, one could see a massive silhouette of mist in the shape of a hand!

Zhu Minglang had already drifted backward early on. He landed at the edge of the lofty sea cliff, with the wind howling and the waves thundering below him.

“You have no way to retreat,” Lu Mu said coldly, her eyes fierce.

“The feng shui here is good where I stand, fitting to bury you,” Zhu Minglang said calmly.

As soon as the words were spoken, the cloud-covered sky suddenly was ripped open by a fierce dome light of the sun. The slanting dome light struck down upon this tall seaside slope, landing upon Lu Mu’s body.

An intense heat immediately radiated, melting away the swirling mist around Lu Mu in an instant. She had planned to approach Zhu Minglang, but the intense dome light forced her to retreat backward.

It was at this moment that a Dome Light Holy Dragon dove down from the sky. It was majestic and commanding, its four phoenix-like tails gleaming with an array of colors. Its feathers seemed to burn with the blue flames of the sky, quickly setting even the surrounding air ablaze with brilliant azure fire!

Lu Mu looked up, but her eyes stung with pain. She dared not close them, lest she fail to track the movements of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

“Chi!!!!!!!”

A phoenix cry pierced the air as the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon descended, wrapped in the fierce sunlight it had absorbed, its momentum like divine punishment from an enraged heaven!

Lu Mu slapped her hand forward, summoning a mountain of ice in a futile attempt to block the onslaught of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

The mountain of ice was shattered into fragments by the dragon’s solar dive, the fragments melting away rapidly.

In the final moment, Lu Mu smacked her own body, freezing herself in ice to shield her flesh from the searing flame!

Yet, Lu Mu was still sent flying, rolling a great distance away.

She was covered in charred mud, her beautiful clothes now filthy and tattered, not to mention her face, which was burned like charcoal.

Her eyes were full of rage.

She remembered Zhao Yin Ge mentioning Zhu Minglang’s strength as at most middle-level Monarch Level, considering his performance in the power contest, middle-level was already the limit.

However, the power displayed by Zhu Minglang’s dragon indeed seemed to be around middle-level Monarch Level, yet the strength it exercised far surpassed that level.

“Heavy Slave, attack him together with me!” Lu Mu commanded.

From the foot of the hill, a person holding a massive bronze hammer approached. He was originally ordered to stand guard below to prevent Zhu Minglang from escaping, but the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon was no ordinary Dragon Beast!

The Heavy Slave was actually the puppet that had posed as Zhao Yin Ge that day.

He wasn’t very tall, and though his face bore some resemblance to Zhao Yin Ge, there were subtle differences upon close inspection.

This fellow was a clearly refined puppet, with a body as strong as copper and iron, capable of immense strength. At the moment, one hand even dragged an astonishing bronze hammer—it would be a merciless killing machine on the battlefield!!

Unfazed, the Heavy Slave Puppet hoisted the bronze hammer and swung it ferociously at the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

The hammer seemed to strike the air, yet one could see a force spreading from the point of impact like cracks through ice, right where the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon was positioned!

The force of the hammer opened up shockwaves and surges of air, turning the colossal boulders on the slope to dust in an instant.

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon glided backward, its solar feathers suddenly dispersing into the air. Then, they transformed into a countless number of radiant feather-daggers that flew densely towards the Heavy Slave Puppet!

The Heavy Slave Puppet was terrifying in its own right; it neither dodged nor retreated, instead charging into the radiant feather-daggers with its ironclad body. Meanwhile, Lu Mu hid behind it, forming a long whip chain of ice mist. She crept closer to the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon under the puppet’s cover and lashed out the ice whip chain towards the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon’s neck!
