Chapter 2224 - Sudden Conflict
Chapter 2224: Sudden Conflict
Everyone was stunned upon hearing An Lin’s ruthless words.
Holy f*ck! His words have become so badass after becoming a main drawcard?
The surrounding performers looked at An Lin in admiration and sympathy. They admired An Lin’s courage to say what they didn’t dare to say, yet they felt sympathy for the limitless future that he had just buried with his own actions.
Sure enough, the chubby dragon exploded in anger upon hearing An Lin’s reply. “Impudence! You’re nothing but a main drawcard, yet you actually dare to speak to me like that? Arrest him! Father, let’s arrest him! We’ll arrest him for humiliating the Regional Leader! This crime will do!”
The chubby dragon immediately grabbed onto the Dragon Emperor’s hand as he shouted this. It was clear that he was most likely accustomed to this kind of haughty and arrogant behavior.
However, An Lin remained calm and composed. He shot a quick glance at the Red Empress as if waiting for her response.
The Red Empress barely hesitated before stepping in front of An Lin. Her eyes became ice-cold as she shouted, “Impudence! Long Yecha, do you know whose territory this is? Do you have the right to speak here?!”
A formidable aura instantly erupted outward.
The chubby dragon who had been extremely haughty just then was suddenly scared speechless by this terrifying aura. He hid behind the Dragon Emperor in fright and shouted, “Father! She’s bullying me!”
An Lin was completely speechless. Where was this giant baby from? Was the Dragon Emperor not embarrassed by his son’s actions?
However, what happened next shocked him even more.
The Dragon Emperor actually unleashed a powerful aura that directly rivaled that of the Red Empress. At the same time, a battle-thirsty smile appeared on his face as he said, “Red Empress, what’s so impressive about picking on children? If you want to fight, then I’ll be your opponent! What do you say?”
The Red Empress’ voice was ice-cold as she said, “I’ll say this first. You’re not going to take Liu Dabao away, nor are you going to take Su Chan away!”
“Hahaha! Alright! How impressive of you, Red Empress! Then I’ll issue a Regional Leader Challenge!” The Dragon Emperor tossed a copper coin-like item that was glowing with divine light into the air as he said this.
The Dragon Emperor and the Red Empress instantly disappeared from the backstage.
Two powerful figures then materialized beyond the transparent barrier in the sky. One was a golden dragon that roared as it exuded a majestic aura and blotted out the starry sky.
The other was a beautiful woman who was wearing a red dress that glowed with divine light.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two of them instantly launched into an intense battle.
This was a fierce and earth-shattering scene.
“They’ve started to fight!”
“Heavens! Why are the two Regional Leaders suddenly fighting?”
The performers hadn’t imagined that the Red Empress would actually be that defensive of An Lin. They more so hadn’t imagined that the normally noble and dignified Regional Leader would suddenly engage in a fight.
Su Chan’s eyes reddened when she saw this. She immediately walked up to An Lin and knelt down on one knee to express her gratitude. She knew that the Red Empress wouldn’t have protected her if it weren’t for An Lin.
In fact, even An Lin was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
He had indeed spoken with an aim in mind. However, he hadn’t imagined that the friendly-looking Regional Leaders would suddenly start to fight on a whim. They hadn’t hesitated in the least. By the looks of it, the Dragon Emperor had planned this from the very beginning when bringing the chubby little dragon over.
It was because he knew his son was a troublemaker that he had brought him over…
Meanwhile, the chubby little dragon had already run over to the railings and started to shout in encouragement at the figures in the sky. It was as if he wasn’t aware of what he had done.
“Why have they suddenly started fighting? Also, what’s a Regional Leader Challenge…?” An Lin discovered that this battle wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
At this moment, Gu Qiu walked over and said softly, “You probably aren’t aware that the Tai Chu Holy Land originally had twenty-three regions…”
An Lin blinked in surprise. “Hmm? Then there are only ten regions remaining because…”
“It’s because the Regional Leader of one region can issue a Regional Leader Challenge to the Regional Leader of another region. If they defeat the Regional Leader of that region, then they can integrate that region into their own region.
“However, because Regional Leaders obtain a buff from their own region, it’s usually extremely difficult to defeat them. Thus, this current state of ten regions has been maintained for an extremely long time already…” Gu Qiu wore an anxious expression as she looked at the battle in the sky and said, “It’s anyone’s guess what the Dragon Emperor wants by suddenly issuing a challenge…”
An Lin’s expression changed slightly as he suddenly recalled the plan of the Heavenly Light Goddess.
The Red Empress’ attacks suddenly became more ferocious at this moment. Borrowing the buff of her region, she easily gave the Dragon Emperor several severe wounds.
An astonishing blood blade sliced through the sky and cut through the Dragon Emperor’s body.
The colossal golden dragon howled in agony as it plummeted to the ground.
It was as if everything were over.
An Lin could tell that both the Dragon Emperor and the Red Empress were at the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage. However, after receiving the buff of her region, the Red Empress could wield a might that had already reached the God of Creation Stage.
At this moment, a burst of golden light suddenly erupted from the Dragon Emperor’s body.
The Dragon Emperor’s aura suddenly became extremely holy and profound.
The Red Empress furiously slashed her two blood swords at the Dragon Emperor. Like a descending cross that yearned to cut the space into four segments, two devastating sword projections instantly slashed at the Dragon Emperor.
However, these formidable sword projections were easily shattered and swept aside by a casual swing of the Dragon Emperor’s tail.
“Hahaha… Red Empress, I’ve obtained new power! You’re no match for me!” The Dragon Emperor was like an orb of golden light as he viciously crashed into the Red Empress.
The Red Empress hacked and sliced with her two swords, yet she was unable to shatter even a single one of the Dragon Emperor’s scales. Instead, she was sent stumbling backward by the overwhelming collisions.
This is the power of light!
An Lin narrowed his eyes as he further confirmed the speculation in his mind.
“Hurry, go to the Library of Heavenly Books!” The Red Empress frantically transmitted a message into An Lin’s mind.
An Lin pondered for a moment before asking, “Why did you pick me?”
“That woman refers to herself as Light, yet she performs acts of destruction. However, you’re different. I heard something different from your song…
“It’s because of this that I picked you. Can I trust you…?”
The Red Empress’ voice sounded in his mind.
An Lin gazed intently at the woman in red who was being suppressed by the colossal golden dragon. He then nodded and said, “I hope you can all survive. I’ll definitely stop her!”
Upon hearing this reply, a relieved smile finally spread across the Red Empress’ beautiful face.
At this moment, An Lin had already turned around to leave.
“Brother Dabao, where are you going?” Ying Bao jogged up beside An Lin upon seeing that he wasn’t spectating the battle like the other performers.
“I’m going to the Library of Heavenly Books,” An Lin replied.
“Library of Heavenly Books?” Ying Bao covered her dainty mouth in disbelief. “Two rulers of the Holy Land are fighting, yet you’re heading over to read?”
An Lin gazed at the slightly adorkable Ying Bao before lightly flicking her forehead and saying, “Don’t worry, I’m a fast reader.”
It wasn’t long before he arrived at the Library of Heavenly Books again.
The two elders were still silently standing beside the entrance and radiating with the energy fluctuation of the Dao Integration Stage.
An Lin walked over.
However, the two elders suddenly said, “Halt! You don’t have the right to enter the Library of Heavenly Books! Those who dare to intrude will be killed without mercy!”
An Lin faltered upon hearing this. He then pointed at the floral wreath on his head and said, “I’ve already become a main drawcard.”
“Becoming a main drawcard is only the most basic requirement. One must have also made a great contribution to the Red Ink Tavern. Only so will one have the right to enter,” one of the elders said calmly.
An Lin was slightly taken aback. Great contributions?
He had only just become a main drawcard, so how could he have made any great contributions?
“Don’t worry, Brother Dabao. You’ll eventually be able to enter the Library of Heavenly Books someday. Why the hurry?” Ying Bao said in comfort.
“No, there’s not enough time…” An Lin said through gritted teeth.
“Use mine,” a gentle and pleasant voice suddenly said.
At some unknown time, Gu Qiu had already arrived beside An Lin. There was a tranquil smile on her face as she said, “I still have one opportunity to enter. I’ll give this opportunity to you, Dabao.”
