Chapter 1619: Fast Acknowledgement of Master

Even with its cultivation suppressed, it was undoubtedly at the peak of the Saint 9-dan realm.

Its body had long been refined to a level surpassing that of a Great Saint. Its combat will, having followed Ancient Sage Ran Qiu for many years, had endured countless battles, big and small. It knew all the techniques and strategies of countless cultivators of various strengths. But this... what in the world was this?

There were no rules at all; it just rushed over and started a messy brawl, like a street thug.

The most crucial part was that it couldn't dodge!

What utter humiliation!

"Roar!"

Feeling the opponent's fists and feet raining down, aiming directly at its face, it trembled with rage. With a roar, the bone dragon's body suddenly contracted.

Whoosh!

All its bones piled together, instantly forming a shimmering black spear.

"Break!"

With a fierce thrust, the confined space shattered like ice struck by a hammer, instantly breaking apart with a crash!

Zhang Xuan staggered back several steps, his chest churning.

Although the spatial confinement was powerful, it still proved ineffective against a true master.

Just like the Dragon Bone Divine Spear before him, even though the power it unleashed did not exceed the peak of Saint 9-dan, when it concentrated its attack on a single point and thrust forward, the confining force simply could not withstand it.

Of course, this was also because he had only just comprehended the True Understanding. If he had immersed himself longer or comprehended a higher level, he would have been more proficient, and breaking through would not have been so easy.

"How dare you humiliate me? I'll kill you!"

Having pierced through space and regained its freedom, the bone dragon roared again, reverting from its spear form back into a bone dragon. Its huge maw opened as it charged forward once more.

Just as it reached the young man, its vision blurred again, and the opponent vanished once more. As it was about to search, it saw a foot kicking straight at its face.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Four continuous kicks left it dizzy and disoriented, its neck almost snapping off.

"Damn..."

Trembling with rage, the bone dragon was about to explode.

If it's a spar, a fair fight would be enough. But kicking someone in the face... are you even a master teacher?

Have you no shame?

Whoosh!

Unable to restrain itself any longer, its thick tail whipped up, intending to pulverize the fellow in the air. But just as it lifted it, it felt its entire body tighten again, realizing its tailbone had been grabbed, though it knew not when.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Immediately, a tremendous force surged through it, as it was swung around like a whip, its head repeatedly slamming into the ground, creating one large pit after another.

"The bone dragon... got beaten up?"

The stone statue boy, who had been watching, trembled involuntarily at this sight, so utterly shocked that his head fell to the ground and kept rolling.

He hurriedly picked it up and reattached it, growing more alarmed with each passing moment.

Although the bone dragon had suppressed its cultivation to Saint 9-dan, it was still at the peak of that same level. Yet, it was completely overwhelmed, unable to retaliate in the slightest, like an adult teasing a child. It was being so ruthlessly beaten.

If its bones hadn't already been tempered to be impregnable, this beating would probably have turned it into dust.

He had originally thought that the person entering this passage might be slain by the bone dragon. He never dreamed it would end like this.

It was truly unexpected.

"Damn it, I'll kill you!"

Dazed from the thrashing, the bone dragon could no longer hold back. Its internal power violently surged skyward, and in the blink of an eye, it unleashed the power it had suppressed at Saint 9-dan, reaching Great Saint 1-dan, the Imperishable realm!

With its cultivation and strength dramatically increased, it broke free from Zhang Xuan's grip, spun around sharply, and brought its clawed hoof down.

Again, the sound of rushing air filled its ears, as the young man before it vanished as if by teleportation. The next moment, he reappeared above its head and kicked.

The bone dragon was going mad.

It was one thing to be no match at the same cultivation level, but to still be dodged after raising its level... Just how strong was this guy?

Even Ancient Sage Ran Qiu, at the same level, didn't possess such combat prowess. If he were to encounter this guy, he'd probably be brutally beaten too!

It hurriedly contracted its body, attempting to evade the attack.

Although reaching the Imperishable realm significantly increased its reaction speed and strength, compared to the opponent's speed, it seemed to make little difference. It only felt a sharp pain in its head as the opponent's foot viciously kicked down again.

Truthfully, if the opponent had used that special temporal bloodline power from before, losing would have been acceptable. After all, in the face of time, no technique, not even thought, was of any use.

But... the opponent hadn't used it at all. He had merely used some strange footwork and his understanding of space, rendering it completely incapable of resistance.

Fighting him directly, it still couldn't figure out how he did it!

It was as if the opponent knew its attack direction beforehand, and could easily find flaws and weaknesses in its attacks!

The more it fought, the more frustrated it became.

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

After being savagely kicked several more times, it could no longer hold back. Its internal power surged again.

This guy clearly possessed invincible power at its own level, yet he had tricked it into suppressing its cultivation. He clearly wanted to beat it up. Since that was the case, there was no need for politeness!

Its power was no longer suppressed; in the blink of an eye, it broke through Imperishable... Golden Body, Whim, Undying...

In less than a breath, it returned to its peak strength below an Ancient Sage.

"Kid, weren't you having a great time beating me up just now? I'm going to kill you!"

With a roar, it hastily looked up, only to find the young man who had been kicking it was gone. It quickly turned its head and saw him sitting on a stone bench not far from the pond, holding a cup of tea, looking utterly refined.

"Kill me?" Hearing its roar, the young man put down his teacup, and with a serious expression, said earnestly: "Fighting and killing is not good. I am a master teacher; I uphold etiquette and rules. Since you are Ancient Sage Ran Qiu's weapon, you should also understand respect and tolerance. You have lost, so obediently acknowledge me as your master!"

"Acknowledge you as master? Go to hell!"

The bone dragon was nearly driven mad with rage.

"You had so much fun beating me up just now, and now that I've recovered my strength, you say no more fighting... Where do you find such a good deal?"

"Dream on!"

"If I don't beat you into a meat patty today, and poke a dozen holes in you, I'm not the Dragon Bone Divine Spear!"

"Are you sure you won't acknowledge?"

"If you want me to acknowledge you as master, defeat me now!" the bone dragon roared.

However, before its voice had even faded, a thunderous roar echoed in its mind, as if exploding in its ears.

Thud!

All its power seemed to freeze instantly. A sense of oppression, stemming from its very race, overwhelmed it, rendering it unable to move, and it plunged straight down from the air.

"I gave you face by fighting you. What, are you going to take advantage of that now?"

With a cold snort, Zhang Xuan slowly stood up, his hands clasped behind his back, and glared coldly. "Acknowledge me as your master quickly, or believe me, I'll kill you right now!"
