Chapter 286: The Trial 1
It was a beautiful day, painting azure blue all over with the vast limitless sky as a canvas. Indeed, it was a clear, beautiful sky and several small birds chirped around from time to time. High above in the sky, a black condor was currently gliding in the wind. It soared down directly toward the enormous river below, passed by it and landed on the vast grassland, which was all dyed with red blood. It then pecked the eye of a dead corpse of a man with its curly beak.
Unlike other days, the clean water of the river was all dyed red with blood draining down from the death bodies of thousands and thousands of humans, giant dragons and other giant beasts filling up the vast grassland field.
Suddenly, a hand spread out from just below a giant Red Crow.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, the body of the giant red crow exploded into multiple particles of flesh and spread all around the ground. Finally, showing a youth covered in blood and flesh of the crow. He then picked up the sword on the ground.
"There is someone alive. Quickly, go over there." A sharped male voice shouted. Then, the next moment, two middle-aged men appeared beside the youth.
"Hahaha, Captain, it's a halfling dragon." One of them asked, "Can we just kill him? We can't tame him, anyway."
"Fine, do whatever you like." The sharped male voice spoke again.
After hearing that, the two middle-aged men trotted around the youth who was currently panting and supporting himself with the long sword.
"Boy, tell me your name? Hee hee hee, one of your parent must be a real Dragon? Tell me, is it your mother?" The man smirked and further spoke, wetting his own lips. "If she is then, I can spare your life and keep you as my son's plaything. "
The Youth glared at the man who was speaking licentiously at him. He then grasped over the handle of his long sword tightly.
The next moment, the two men heard a whooshing sound of wind.
"Where did that bastard goes to?" One of the middle-aged men spoke. He then craned his head around. But it felt over down on the ground and blood sprayed out from the headless neck of the man.
The other man also saw it too, and he unconsciously touched his neck and checked over his hand to find blood.
"Aaaahhh!" He screamed freaking out, and his head also fell over down the ground just like the other one.
The boy who seemed to be in his 16 years of age appeared behind them, just in the middle of the two headless bodies standing on the ground. He thrusted his long sword over the ground and supported his wear out body.
The next moment, ten men suddenly appeared there all at once from the thin air. One of them was a youth like himself, with a long sword hanging on his waist. He took a step forward and touched on the necks of the two headless corpses.
One of the nine subordinate spoke out, "Captain Xi Feng, I shall finish that boy."
Commander Xi Feng, who was checking over the corpses, took out a handkerchief from inside his space ring, cleaned his hands and threw it down on the ground.
"Hmm, what a sharp blade skill?!" He said with a smile and slowly stood up. Then he glanced over at the youth, covering with blood and said, "Boy, I am the captain of the Dragon slaying 17th squad, Xi Feng. What is your name?"
"I'm Joey." The youth responded and watched over him vigilantly.
"I'm confused here. You are just a halfling dragon, which is regarded as the mere slave of those high and mighty, true-blooded dragons. Why are you fighting on their side? Even though we humans scorned over those halfling dragons, we still give a way for you all to survive among us. You still have human blood flowing through your blood. Surrender and joined under my ranks." Captain Xi Feng said to him with a friendly smile.
"Captain, you can't. It'll be a treason. That boy already had bloods of humans in his hands." One of his subordinates voiced out briskly.
"Shut up!" Captain Xi Feng shouted at that man, "Have you already forgotten your place?"
The very subordinate who complained quickly kneeled over on the ground and pleaded, "Sir, please forgive me."
"Fine, this will be your last warning. Never interrupt me while I am speaking, understand?" Captain Xi Feng said with a firm tone.
Then he turned to the youth and asked, "Have you considered my suggestion?"
The Youth gnashed his teeth and shouted, spitting all his anger out, "Hmph, don't try to play mind game with me. Both humans and dragons never care for us. But I don't really care. They are all same to me. So in order to avoid them all, my mother brought me and my little sister in wood isolating from everyone. And we live there happily even though we could only eat just once a day. But one day, those bastards from Beast tamer family came and killed my mother and my little sister. I barely managed to stay alive that day as I happened to awaken my dragon heart root. Then I searched inside the burning house to save my ma and my little Haoyu. But, but… they were already dead inside, burned to dead." He then shouted at his loudest voice, "So, who the hell are you to judge me on which side I fought? I fight for myself. I will kill every last one of those beast tamers until my last breath. Fight me, coward. "
"Impudence! Dare to speak like to the captain. I will kill you myself, bastard." One of the subordinates shouted and tried to draw his sword from his scabbard.
But Captain Xi Feng stopped him and spoke sincerely to Joey, "Boy, I'm sorry for what happened to your mother and little sister."
He then turned around, walked and ordered, "Alright, everyone, let's leave this place." The nine subordinate followed behind him.
"Coward! Are you afraid? " "Then you all can come at me all at once." Joey shouted at them.
"Boy, keep your life for today. When you reached my cultivation base, you can come find me and I will end your miserable life at that time. This is the only thing I can do for you." The sharp voiced of Captain Xi Feng entered Joey's ear as all of them disappeared in the thin air.
"Captain Xi Feng, captain Xi Feng." Joey muttered this name twice.. He then fainted and felt on the ground.
