Dragon Tamer

Chapter 324: Chapter 326: Cannon Fodder
However, the Fiend Star Dragon remained a most supreme being among dragons. With a flap of its wings, it conjured a Decaying Devil Wind beneath the clouds. As the wind swept over the archers, their hands began to suffer severe decay…

The decay spread across their bodies, affecting a wide area. Out of the twenty thousand archers, four to five thousand were completely devastated by this decaying spell. Some archers caught in the center of the Decaying Devil Wind started to rot throughout their entire bodies—flesh and bone seemed to evaporate under some scorching force, leaving nothing but their armor!

The Dragon Trapping Formation was not fully effective, as the Fiend Star Dragon was still able to cast its extremely powerful spells. Moreover, the physical strength of the Fiend Star Dragon was terrifying. Its impact could shatter the hard ground for miles around. In the shattered area, the Talisman Masters from the Godly Mortal Academy were thrown out, many injured grievously and left half-crippled!

“Do not be arrogant!” Su Tai shouted in anger, commanding the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon to attack the Fiend Star Dragon.

The Fiend Star Dragon fought against the Talisman Masters of the Dragon Trapping Formation while confronting the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon head-on.

As large as a small mountain, the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon was a true giant among dragons. Its arms were like steel, its body sheathed in armor-like tough muscles. It attempted to grab the Fiend Star Dragon’s tail and smash it from the sky down to the ground.

The Fiend Star Dragon, agile and swift, easily dodged the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon’s grasp, then suddenly swirled around, leaving behind a black void ring in the trail of its body!

This black void ring, like shackles, locked onto the sturdy body of the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon, rendering it immobile. Then the Fiend Star Dragon opened its maw, and from its chest, numerous dazzling lights streamed towards its throat!!

“Whoosh!!!!!!!”

A breath of starlight was spewed onto the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon’s body, seemingly colorful and splendid, but in truth it hid a terrifying energy—scorching, piercing, shattering…

Like a downpour of starlight, this dreadful breath completely broke down the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon’s skin and muscle defenses, and its body began to bleed the vivid red of Giant Spirit Dragon Blood.

The Giant Spirit Killing Dragon fell onto a stone bridge, completely collapsing it, and its whole body was soaked in river water, unable to rise and fight again.

Standing atop a high hill, Su Tai’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

His pride, the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon, was like a young dragon without fully grown fangs or claws in front of the Fiend Star Dragon. It was defeated too easily!

“Don’t summon dragons lightly; let the army first exhaust the Fiend Star Dragon’s mana,” Tu Wenhe advised Su Tai.

Su Tai was still too naive. Against an existence like the Fiend Star Dragon, no matter which dragon was summoned to fight it, it would be merely cannon fodder.

Indeed, they were in need of a large amount of cannon fodder, but certainly not their powerful Dragon Shepherds—didn’t they have tens of thousands of soldiers from Slaughter Country??

The losses were devastating. What seemed like a mighty military hunt was nothing in the eyes of the Fiend Star Dragon, which regarded the soldiers as no different from ephemeral mayflies. A single breath of the dragon could annihilate thousands, and one strike upon the earth could kill nearly a hundred Cultivators.

Nearly half of the Divine and Mortals from the Godly Mortal Academy were decimated, especially those ambitious Talisman Masters who hoped to suppress the Fiend Star Dragon’s spells. Once the Talisman Masters began casting the dragon-trapping talismans, they had to stand their ground and cast spells without interruption.

For the Fiend Star Dragon, killing these Talisman Masters was all too easy—as if casually reaping weeds.

Zhu Minglang stood far away, witnessing the massive deaths of both the Godly Mortal Academy and the Slaughter Country Army. He also saw that the Orderers Yan Guang and Chang Hong remained unmoved. They never confronted the Fiend Star Dragon directly, but instead kept giving orders, using various methods to try to restrain the dragon’s movements and abilities, even as people continued to die in the process…

Similarly, the Hunter Tu Wenhe and his Dragon Shepherd Team did not intervene.

They merely watched as their own forces were horrifically slaughtered by the great annihilating power of the Fiend Star Dragon.

All things are mortal, only dragons are supreme; seeing the Fiend Star Dragon evaporate tens of thousands in a brief moment, Zhu Minglang came to a clearer understanding of this truth.

“My lord, something is strange,” Li Xinghua said softly at this point, her eyebrows knit tightly together. Despite her reluctance to witness such a tragic dragon hunting scene, she didn’t take her eyes off it, as if she were searching for something.

“What’s strange?” Zhu Minglang asked.

He had earlier asked Li Xinghua and Nan Lingsha to find a place to hide, and now after reuniting with them, Li Xinghua showed no intention of leaving Runyu City. She had spotted some ominous omens again.

“The Fiend Star Dragon does not carry the force of an evil omen; it’s not the seventh Major Evil Beast!” Li Xinghua declared.

Of the seven major evil omens, six had already proven true.

If the seventh major evil omen were to appear, it would signify the emergence of a terrifying heavenly omen. It was believed that the Fiend Star Dragon was the seventh Major Evil Beast, so hunting it down could, to some extent, prevent the advent of the heavenly omen…

However, the Fiend Star Dragon showed no breath of evil omen.

It was not the Major Evil Beast!

If not the Fiend Star Dragon, then where could the seventh Omen Beast be?

“If the Fiend Star Dragon isn’t the Major Evil Beast, that should be considered good news, right? The Fiend Star Dragon is too powerful; it’s hard to say whether these people will succeed in hunting it,” Zhu Minglang remarked.

The previous Major Evil Beasts had not been too tough to handle, as long as one could find them; their power was only around the Middle-level Monarch Level.

The Fiend Star Dragon was different; it felt as if this creature was only one step away from becoming a Dragon King.

If it were the seventh Major Evil Beast, they would not be able to prevent the inevitable catastrophe.

But Li Xinghua shook her head. If the Fiend Star Dragon was not the Major Evil Beast, then everything could develop in an even more terrifying direction.

What then was the seventh Major Evil Beast?

And where was the heavenly Omen Beast?

The endless cannon fodder had, indeed, depleted some of the Fiend Star Dragon’s mana and physical strength.

Yet, the Fiend Star Dragon remained unmatched, and after more than half the Godly Mortal Academy and the Slaughter Country Army had perished, Tu Wenhe, Yan Guang, and Chang Hong finally made their move.

Orderer Chang Hong summoned a Silver Tail Purple Dragon, a creature of noble and handsome appearance, with silver whiskers and a silver-tufted tail, its entire body covered in prestigious purple scales.

The Silver Tail Purple Dragon had extremely high cultivation base, likely at the top of the Upper Level, close to the Peak. As soon as it appeared, the skies above Runyu City filled with thick and long silver lightning, each bolt containing immense destructive power. Even a single bolt passing by a pavilion would reduce it to nothingness!

Soon after, Tu Wenhe also summoned his Dragon Beast.

As a Hunter and a top-level Dragon Shepherd, the dragon he called forth was no ordinary being. One could see a massive dark pattern stamped upon the vast land, within which countless Death Flames sprang forth, forming the Mountain of Undead Flame.

From within the Mountain of Undead Flame, a fearsome Bone Dragon emerged, featuring unusually large bony wings, a body of long bony segments like that of a serpent, with no claws, but a towering horn where its head should be, a testament to its pride and wild nature!
