The Black Dragon did not argue with XP, as it was currently at a disadvantage. The Black Dragon sneered, "Enough with the nonsense. As long as you keep your word, let's see what this Hellhound Leader is capable of."
"I won't let you down." With that, XP transformed into a white sphere of light and charged at the Black Dragon. Seeing XP's movement, the Black Dragon dared not be careless and quickly flew into the sky to evade XP's attack.
It thought well; as long as it flew high, XP would not be able to reach it. Then it could use its flames to teach this little dog a lesson. Just moments ago, when XP had flown to another Black Dragon's neck, that Black Dragon was trapped in the Lightning Cage by Little Black and was undergoing electric therapy, so it was unaware that XP could also fly.
Just as it prepared to turn around and look for XP, XP used the momentum from its charge to perform a gliding knife maneuver right above the Black Dragon's head. At that moment, the Black Dragon was scratching its head, but after looking for a while, it still couldn't find that white little dog.
Suddenly, the Black Dragon felt a sharp pain in its back, followed by a tremendous impact that slammed it to the ground. The Black Dragon quickly got up and jumped aside; at this moment, XP also landed on the ground. Once on the ground, XP immediately used the Rock Spike technique, causing a sharp Stone to rise from beneath the Black Dragon. This Stone nearly caused serious harm to the Black Dragon.
Feeling pain, the Black Dragon jumped back to avoid the sharp stone. Just as it regained its footing, it suddenly felt a heaviness in its chest; a massive fireball had already gathered around its body. Fortunately, dragons possess strong magical defenses. Upon seeing the fireball, the Black Dragon laughed heartily: "Is this all you Hellhounds can do? Let me show you what a real fireball looks like."
With that, the Black Dragon opened its mouth and unleashed a massive flame that shot out like a flamethrower. The color of this flame was not red but purple; even in this underground Three Layers where temperatures exceeded one hundred degrees, Liu Guanfeng and others could still feel the heat of this flame.
Both the Black Dragon and Fire Dragons are of the Fire Attribute; however, the Black Dragon is naturally pitch black and possesses flames much stronger than those of Fire Dragons. Unfortunately, the reproductive capabilities of Black Dragons are quite poor. In fact, dragon species have limited reproductive abilities; some may not successfully breed for a thousand years. However, compared to other dragon species, Black Dragons are even less capable of reproduction. This is why there is no Black Dragon Island among dragon territories; while other dragon species might have fifty or sixty individuals, there are definitely no more than ten Black Dragons on the entire Dragon Island. Thus, these Black Dragons live directly with the elders of their kind in the Dragon Tomb as their guardians.
Seeing the power of the Black Dragon's flames, XP dared not confront it head-on and could only rely on agility to dodge.
"Haha, is this all there is to the Hellhound Leader?" The Black Dragon said disdainfully.
"The battle has just begun; why are you in such a hurry?"
"Arrogant! Then I'll send you off." With that, a layer of purple energy suddenly surrounded the Black Dragon; this must be its flame shield. With this protective barrier in place, the Black Dragon felt even more invincible as it charged toward XP.
At this moment, Little Black expressed concern: "Xiaofeng, is XP really going to be okay? This Black Dragon seems quite formidable."
"Senior Brother, you can rest assured. Can't you see that XP is not panicking at all? Moreover, it is intentionally testing this Black Dragon. Don't worry, I believe the reason Hellhound is feared by the Dragon Clan is that they must have a valid reason for it. If Hellhound only had these abilities, they wouldn't have secretly plotted against us in the first place."
"You do have a point. Let's see what kind of surprise XP can bring us."
As they spoke, XP had already jumped into a Magma Lake, standing on a Rock Spike surrounded by a white mist, while the Black Dragon stood at the edge of the Magma Lake. It seemed that XP had been forced to that position. At this moment, sixty Hellhound were anxiously surrounding the exit, wanting to rescue XP but were stopped by Liu Guanfeng.
Although those Hellhound were unwilling, they still held great respect for their leader's master. After all, their leader had reached this point thanks to this human, who also helped them form teams to advance. Even though they were blocked, these Hellhound kept their eyes fixed on the Black Dragon; if XP were to lose, they would definitely rush at the Black Dragon immediately.
At this time, the Black Dragon provocatively said, "What do you think, leader of the Hellhound? You've been pushed to this point; why not just admit defeat?" The Black Dragon had its reasons for saying this; it knew that as long as it could kill the Three-Headed Hellhound in front of it, it might really be able to stay here. After all, there were still fifty or sixty Hellhound and that Black Beast which had no ability to fight back against it. The human standing nearby was definitely not an amateur either. For its own safety, it decided to force XP to surrender; this way, it could leave here with justification.
XP smiled and replied, "I say, big black fellow, you claim you've pushed me to this point, but since we started fighting, I've hit you twice while you haven't even touched me. How could I possibly admit defeat?"
"If you insist on saying that, then I won't hold back. Little Little Guy, you'll pay for your arrogance." With persuasion failing, the Black Dragon flapped its wings and flew into the air. Although it was not afraid of ordinary flames, the Magma fire could be considered a type of heavenly fire with a temperature higher than the Black Dragon's purple flames. Therefore, it did not dare to let its guard down.
Meanwhile, XP used its ability to fly and led the Black Dragon to the center of the Magma Lake. As it chased after XP, the Black Dragon shouted, "Little thing, there's nowhere for you to run!"
XP chose the largest Stone to stand on and looked at the approaching Black Dragon: "Alright then, I won't run anymore. I hope you won't run either."
Seeing that XP said it wouldn't run anymore made the Black Dragon feel delighted and immediately increased its flying speed. At this moment, all its attention was focused on XP without noticing that the Magma beneath it had begun to churn.
However, none of this escaped Liu Guanfeng's eyes. He smiled as he watched the confrontation between the two beasts in the Magma Lake, quietly saying, "A good show is about to begin."
Perhaps due to some sort of telepathic connection between XP and Liu Guanfeng, just as Liu Guanfeng finished speaking, XP shouted from a distance: "Big black fellow, let me show you my flames—Magma Explosion!"
Following XP's words, over a hundred basin-sized Magma Fireballs rose from the Magma Lake. These fireballs blocked both the forward path and retreat route of the Black Dragon. Although they did not hit the Black Dragon directly, they still startled it. Just as the Black Dragon was cautiously watching these Magma Fireballs, trying to find an escape route, they suddenly exploded.
The explosive power of these Magma Fireballs was immense and sent the Black Dragon flying away. At this moment, XP did not miss this opportunity and launched many more Magma balls from the Magma Lake, hitting the Black Dragon one after another.
The unfortunate black dragon was escorted to the shore of Magma Lake under the protection of the Magma Bomb. At this moment, the underground space of the Three Layers was filled with the aroma of roasted meat, but it remained uncertain whether black dragon meat would be delicious.
At this time, the black dragon stood up after spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, but it was clearly gravely injured, swaying even while standing. Meanwhile, xp elegantly landed in front of the black dragon and asked, "Hey big guy, is the Magma ball tasty?"
"You little thing, if you think you can defeat me like this, you are gravely mistaken. Let me show you the might of my dragon kin." The black dragon was merely putting on a brave front; it wanted to buy some time to catch its breath by speaking harshly to intimidate its opponent.
However, it underestimated xp's intelligence. xp sneered and said, "You won't get the chance, Hell Clone." After that, Liu Guanfeng felt a blur in his vision, and suddenly over thirty identical Three-Headed Hellhounds appeared alongside xp. Liu Guanfeng could not distinguish which one was the real body with either his eyes or spiritual sense.
At that moment, all thirty xp clones launched an attack on the black dragon simultaneously, unleashing both magical and physical assaults indiscriminately upon it. In an instant, the black dragon let out a terrible scream and was knocked down again, but this time it did not rise again.
This was because one of the xp's three heads had bitten down on its throat, and all over its body were xp clones. The black dragon struggled for less than a minute before ceasing all movement, blood flowing from its wounds where teeth marks were visible.
Liu Guanfeng could sense that the black dragon was not yet dead, but its life force was rapidly draining away. If things continued like this, it would be completely dead in less than five minutes. After five minutes passed, the black dragon finally reached the end of its life.
Meanwhile, in the distant Dragon Island within the Dragon King's cave, two pieces of black scales gradually turned gray. Finally, with a cracking sound, the two gray scales crumbled into powder.
Upon seeing the scales shatter, Long Kui was initially startled and then rushed out of his cave towards the sacred Earth Dragon tomb of the dragon clan. The Dragon Tomb was not far from Dragon Island; however, this island was perpetually shrouded in white mist.
If outsiders came here, they would have no idea that there was an island hidden within this mist, surrounded by towering mountains with an entrance barely twenty meters wide.
When Long Kui arrived at this place, he found two black dragons at the entrance. After greeting them, Long Kui directly entered the Dragon Tomb. The entire small island was surrounded by mountains while the center was a plain; however, large mounds were visible everywhere where deceased giant dragons were buried.
Long Kui quickly found a black dragon that was much larger than those guarding outside. Upon seeing this black dragon, he spoke: "Black Dragon Chief."
"Dragon King, what brings you to the Dragon Tomb today?"
"I am here to discuss something with you."
"Feel free to speak if the Dragon King has any orders."
"Heiqiu and Heida are both dead."
The Black Dragon Chief was taken aback. "What did you say? Heiqiu and Heida are dead? How did that happen? Weren't they doing well in the Underworld?"
The Dragon King shook his head and sighed. "A while ago, the Fire Dragon King encountered some issues during his cultivation, so I issued a command to find the Hellfire Heartstone. As you know, that kind of thing can only be found in the Underworld. My initial thought was to have him search among the Hellhounds, but I never expected he would go looking for trouble with Heiqiu and the others."
"Who is that human? I want to destroy him." The Black Dragon Clan was thin in numbers, so every member was extremely important. Although Heiqiu and Heida appeared to be traitors of the dragon clan, they were actually pieces arranged by the previous Dragon King in the Underworld. Losing two elite members like this was something the Black Dragon Chief could not easily swallow.
At this moment, the Dragon King advised, "Black Dragon Chief, this is our oversight. However, you must not seek revenge. If you really kill that human, it will likely lead to dire consequences for all of us. Have you forgotten what Xuan Yuan Guang said back then?"
"But we can't just let them die like this. Where is our dignity as dragons?" the Black Dragon Chief said indignantly.
"Rest assured, Black Dragon Chief. I will remember this matter, and when the opportunity arises, I will avenge them."
"Then I will leave everything to you, Dragon King."
"Now that we've finished discussing this, I should take my leave. Don't worry; this matter won't end here."
Although the Dragon King felt frustrated as well, there was nothing he could do. After all, this mission was one he had issued himself. As long as Liu Guanfeng completed the task as required, he would have to reward him.
