Free Web NovelChapter 1292: Chapter 1280: Battle for Dignity
"Buzz!"
Long Jing’s mind shook as she stared blankly at the Emperor of the Flying Deer Empire, Tai Xia’an.
She had anticipated that the Great Dragon Empire might encounter difficulties, and that affiliated countries might take the opportunity to break away from the empire’s control, but she never expected this day to come so quickly.
There are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Everything is based on strength.
In front of her, Tai Anxia, full of disdain and arrogance, with a surging killing aura emanating from him, the space around him fluctuating violently, he looked at Long Jing coldly and said:
"More than thirty years ago, your father led troops to attack our Flying Deer Empire, killed my father, and forced us to become a vassal state of the Great Dragon Empire,
I witnessed my father’s death with my own eyes, that scene I can never forget.
I thought I would never have the chance to take revenge, or to gain independence from the Great Dragon Empire in my lifetime,
Yet heaven has eyes, and the Great Dragon Empire has seen better days now, haha..."
The Flying Deer Emperor laughed wildly for a few moments, then spoke coldly to Long Jing again:
"Long Jing, I want to kill you, as well as the princes,"
Tai Xia’an pointed at the Fourth Prince and the Second Prince as he spoke.
The Second Prince shivered slightly when he saw Tai Anxia pointing at him, his face immediately turning pale.
Tai Xia’an snorted disdainfully,
"Killing you is easy for me, but I disdain to kill you for my father’s revenge, after all, it was your father who killed mine,
since Long Heng is already dead, I will not pursue it further. The Pangze Mountain and Pangze City, let’s count them as compensation from the Great Dragon Empire for this hatred."
After he finished speaking, Tai Anxia added,
"Long Jing, write a formal agreement to cede the land to me now, so I can take it to take over Pangze City."
Tai Anxia’s demeanor was like ordering a child, without any scruples.
Indeed, with his current Emperor Level Transcendent Realm cultivation, he had nothing to fear in front of Long Jing and the others.
Long Jing felt the oppressive aura emanating from Tai Xia’an’s body and shivered slightly.
Long Jing took a deep breath, stared at Tai Xia’an, and said coldly:
"Tai Xia’an, how presumptuous you are. Do you think just because my father is dead, you can gain independence without concern?
And you want to divide the territory of our Great Dragon Empire, you are dreaming!
If you want independence, I won’t stop you,
but if you want to take away the territory of our Great Dragon Empire, I will absolutely not agree. Let’s meet on the battlefield. I believe the soldiers of our Great Dragon Empire will show you with their blood, what the dignity of the Great Dragon Empire means."
The Fourth Prince also shouted sternly:
"Tai Xia’an, don’t think that just because you are at the Emperor Level Transcendent Realm, you can be so presumptuous. I tell you, our Great Dragon Empire’s one hundred thousand elite guards can flatten your Flying Deer Empire at any time,
and even if my father is no longer here, my grandfather Thunder God still is, our Great Dragon Empire’s strength remains,
wanting independence? You’re overthinking."
The Flying Deer Emperor Tai Xia’an used to bow and scrape whenever he saw the Fourth Prince.
Now, Tai Xia’an stood tall and upright, staring at the Fourth Prince without restraint, then sneered and said:
"Fourth Prince, are you still asleep in the past glory of the Great Dragon Empire?
Long Kui the dean is dead, War God is dead, and now, the Emperor of the Great Dragon is also dead. Can you still produce an Emperor Level Transcendent expert to support your empire?
Oh, I forgot, you just mentioned your grandfather, Thunder God is still around,
were you not the least bit lacking in confidence when you said that?
Your grandfather has long been someone at death’s door, relying on a mysterious cultivation technique, sleeping for years, waking up once every few years, what difference is he from a dead person?
Counting on Thunder God to protect your Great Dragon Empire? Is it me who is dreaming, or you who are dreaming?
For the sake of you young juniors, I didn’t kill you to avenge my deceased father, and you’re still not satisfied?
If you really want me to unleash my killing spree, I can kill you right now, would you be able to resist?
Also, let me remind you, there are already many affiliated countries here preparing to declare independence, it’s not just me,
and besides, Long Jing, ask yourself, can you still guard such vast lands?
Be grateful if I leave you Dragon City to earn a living,
haha....."
The Flying Deer Emperor Tai Xia’an laughed wantonly.
The White Elephant Emperor, on the other hand, was smiling on the surface, but inwardly overjoyed.
After Tai Xia’an takes the lead, surely other empires will follow. Soon, more than a dozen vassal states of the Great Dragon Empire will declare independence, with some turning towards the embrace of the Youming Empire.
Moreover, the White Elephant Emperor was also considering, planning to move troops to the border regions and forcibly take control of a few resource-rich territories of the Great Dragon Empire upon returning.
In less than a month, the enormous Great Dragon Empire would collapse and disintegrate, and it’s questionable whether even the capital would remain for Long Jing and her peers to eke out a living.
Once the situation unfolds, it becomes difficult to control, and various ambitious individuals would rely on their own strength to devour the Great Dragon Empire.
The Emperor of the Great Dragon, before his passing, had transferred the throne to Long Jing, knowing that the Eldest Prince Long Aotian had limited evolutionary abilities and struggled to suppress the bigger picture.
He originally intended to wait for Long Jing to break through to the Emperor Level Transcendent Realm before passing the throne to her, but unfortunately, he couldn’t wait for that day.
The situation on site underwent profound changes, from the previous struggle for the throne between Long Jing and Long Tan and others, to a sudden shift towards the independence of the vassal states and the division of the Great Dragon Empire’s territories.
Long Jing knew that if Tai Xia’an was not immediately subdued, there would probably be a second and third vassal state declaring independence and dividing up the border territories.
Long Jing sneered, looking at Tai Xia’an.
"Hmph, if you want to divide the territory of my Great Dragon Empire, then first ask if the sword in my hand agrees."
Long Jing’s figure flashed, leaping into the air.
This was a challenge issued to Tai Xia’an.
Tai Xia’an leapt up without hesitation,
"I give you face, yet you don’t want it. Fine, today I’ll crush this paper tiger of the declining Great Dragon Empire in front of everyone."
Long Jing didn’t waste words, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword shook,
"Roar——"
A giant dragon broke through the air, pouncing towards Tai Xia’an.
Right from the start, it was the lethal move of transforming the sword into a dragon from the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword, incredibly fierce.
Long Jing knew that facing Tai Xia’an at the Emperor Level Realm, she had no certainty of victory. All she could do now was to fight tenaciously, demonstrating the unyielding spirit of the Great Dragon Empire.
Tai Xia’an sneered, clenched both fists, and charged straight at the giant dragon.
"Boom!"
His fists launched a massive wave of killing aura, breaking through the air towards the giant dragon.
The two collided, resulting in a huge explosion in the sky.
The silver giant dragon shattered instantly.
Long Jing’s body shook, flying back over a hundred meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood, barely standing firm.
The gap between the Empire Level Realm and the Emperor Level Realm was not something that could be bridged by cultivation skills.
Long Jing swallowed an Essence Blood Pill, gritted her teeth, her figure flashed, transforming into a golden giant dragon, breaking through the air.
"Roar——"
The sky immediately surged with winds and clouds, filled with killing aura.
"The Heavenly Dragon Beast Soul, indeed its power is extraordinary! No wonder the Emperor of the Great Dragon would pass the throne to his daughter Long Jing."
The Second Elder of the Genetic Store nodded and said.
The Third Elder beside him said, indifferently,
"It’s a pity, Long Jing doesn’t have time to grow. This battle is destined to be the last battle of the decline of the Great Dragon Empire, alas!"
The Third Elder finished speaking, shaking his head.
