Volume 1 Chapter 1 Fragrance Fills the Room 008 New Identity
I sprang into the air, and with a single swing of my sword, I beheaded one of them! They were wearing heavy armor, so the most efficient way to deal with them was to cut off their necks! Seeing their companion's head being easily beheaded by me, the four of them went crazy and charged at me. Using my internal energy, the Flame Sword in my hand emitted an eerie glow, and with one slash, I actually cut off all the swords in their hands!
Taking advantage of the four men's momentary confusion, he leapt and slashed wildly, and in an instant, four heads rolled to the ground! Sheathing his sword, he gazed coldly at the several people who had fallen and were unable to get up. Raising his head to look at the sky, the sky was thick with dark clouds; it seemed that a good rain was still to come!
Rumble! A strange noise came from the nearby mountain, I was shocked. The mudslide rolled down from the top of the mountain! There's no place to hide here, the only way is to go higher! I flew up and rushed towards the top of the mountain!
I spat out a mouthful of blood. Damn it! I had forgotten that my father had slapped me last night! The overnight escape, the life-and-death struggle with these big men, and now I still have to avoid this mudslide... My physical strength has been overdrawn! Turning back, I saw that the mudslide had buried all their bodies! What a close call! I breathed a sigh of relief.
It's getting dark in front of me. No! I still can't fall down! There are three more people on this island! I have to settle it once and for all! Pretending to be Leng Yi's identity, absolutely cannot let anyone know!
I wiped away the bloodstains from my lips and furrowed my brow slightly. Rumble! A bolt of lightning split open the dark sky. The torrential rain arrived in an instant! I stood at a high point looking down, and at the foot of this mountain made of earth and stone, there was actually a cave! After a few leaps, I reached the entrance to the cave. This cave was narrow on the outside but wide on the inside. With my sword in hand, I ventured forward. Inside the cave, it was unexpectedly filled with an otherworldly glow, and there was even a pool of clear water that emitted a refreshing fragrance! I took out a night pearl and illuminated the entire cave. At this time, the rain outside grew heavier! I furrowed my brow as I gazed outside, then put away the night pearl and retreated to one side. This rain was really coming down! On the small island above, there was no place to take shelter from the rain. As expected, the other three men of the Dragon God tribe would also come here to seek refuge!
I'm just waiting for them to come! A cold smile is spreading across my lips. Men of the Dragon God tribe, killing a thousand of them wouldn't be enough to vent the hatred in my heart! My hand is trembling slightly. Thinking about the humiliation I suffered back then, my heart is coldly laughing. Lin Xiao Hai certainly knows who that man from the Dragon God tribe is! However, he would rather risk being killed by me than reveal this secret! So, there can only be one explanation: if this person's identity is exposed, not only will Lin Xiao Hai die, but also everyone on Luoyan Island will be doomed!
Collude with the Dragon King's royal family, and slaughter the entire island! In other words, this person can not only convince Lin Xiao Hai to cooperate with him, but also make Lin Xiao Hai keep his mouth shut! So, this person must be a member of the Dragon King's royal family!
The royal family of the Dragon Clan is numerous, and among them, there are nine tribes, each led by a close king. The branches below are even more numerous! It's not easy to pick this person out from these people!
Just as I was thinking, footsteps sounded outside, and I held my breath in silence. The pace of these three people was very steady and light, completely different from the actions of the few people before! These three people were all top-notch masters! If it were normal, I would have rushed forward without hesitation to fight with them, but now, because of my internal injury, for a moment, I actually lost confidence! My hand grasping the hilt of the sword tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again.
A tall man walked towards me. Due to the light in the cave, I couldn't see his face clearly. Two men dressed as bodyguards followed behind him, all three of them wearing black iron armor and cloaks. The cloaks were drenched from the rain and dripping with water at this moment. My heart skipped a beat - they're people from Long Nu Jia! I saw their footprints and decided not to make a move for now! Their footprints were different from those few people before! In other words, these few people may not know each other!
The three of them saw someone in the cave, and at first they were stunned. Then, without saying a word, the leading man drew his long sword from his waist and pointed it at me, shouting angrily, "Who are you!"
"I shouted loudly, 'It's one of us! We've encountered sharks and pirates! The people who were with me are dead, and I'm injured!' A cold wind blew against my wet body, although it was summer, but I still shivered with fear!"
He narrowed his eyes and stared at me for a while, then sheathed his long sword and said in a cold voice, "These pirates are really harmful! Long Rui, Long Bi, come quickly! Bring all your medicine! Start a fire on the way! Everyone's clothes are soaked!"
The two people behind him nodded and brought over the medicine!
"I'm suffering from internal injuries, your medicine is useless!" I pointed at the bloodstain on the corner of my lips that hadn't been wiped clean.
The man narrowed his eyes and looked at me for a while, then pulled off the cloak from his body and threw it over my head!
I caught his large cloak, and with great difficulty, his face was revealed. Only then did I see clearly that although this person had a thick beard, his eyes were very deep and piercing, like the bright stars in the dark night! At this moment, he was squinting at me, and after a long while, he spoke in a rough voice, "You're so young and look so refined, yet you're already a junior general officer! What's your name?"
The two people who came with me somehow found some dry branches, took out a lighter and lit the fire. Soon, the bright flames illuminated the entire cave. And also made my face blush!
The storm outside is still going on.
I smiled and said, "My name is Leng Yilian."
At this time, the roast duck was slowly rising with its own flavor due to the heat from the fire.
He picked up a long branch, propped up the fire, and pulled out the burning twigs with a crackling sound. Looking at the flames, he said after a while, "You are a young general, how did you end up here! Thirty miles south, there is General Nu Lei's army, if you want to leave safely, ask for his help!"
I was stunned for a moment. After a while, I said, "This is clearly the place of the Dragon Clan! I saw the golden dragon statue!"
His lips curled slightly, and after a while, he said, "Do you see anyone living on this island?"
I shook my head. Apart from a few people I had killed, there were only three people in front of me!
"The people here originally belonged to the Shenlong tribe, but unfortunately, they lived too close to the Modragon tribe. Twenty years ago, the Modragon tribe set fire to this place and burned everything down! They looted all the belongings and killed every single person! The Shenlong tribe's emblem you saw earlier was their village location! Now, what do you see left there?"
Nothing! My heart is dark. Father would never slaughter the innocent, but that doesn't mean other dragonkin won't! This is my shame as a dragonkin!
"The people of the Demonic Dragon Clan are pirates! They are bloodthirsty and love to kill, always taking pleasure in plundering others' wealth, seizing their wives and daughters, and slaughtering entire families! Our Jiang Nation is in such a state precisely because of the existence of these people. If it weren't for our wise and powerful Dragon Emperor, and the benevolent and unparalleled Dragon Crown Prince Qingyan, our nation would have been swallowed up by one of the thirteen powerful nations outside long ago!" He spat out hatefully.
"You forgot one thing, General Long Nu is also angry!" The guard beside him said with a smile.
He glared at them and cursed, "Shut up!"
The guards beside him lowered their heads and remained silent.
"What brings you here?" I asked, tilting my head.
He slightly curled his lips, "We are here under the command of General Yu Yun, to escort a young general. What's his name... I forgot, anyway it's a young general who has been to Fengguo! Longbiao! What was that young general's name?"
