Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant

Chapter 570: Taking Action, Shattering the Shackles

Roar!!The majestic Black Dragon Emperor collapsed like a heavenly pillar falling. It let out a mournful howl as cracking sounds erupted throughout its flesh and bones. Under the crushing suppression of the Myriad Spirit Blood Contract Pool pressing down upon its spine, its flesh split apart, blood flowed like rivers, and the blood-contract chains burrowed deep into its marrow.

It wanted to struggle, yet it was powerless. Its unyielding dragon soul stared fixedly at Su Lu in the heavens.

"You crawling beast, what are you staring at?!"

Su Lu sneered and shouted harshly. He even arrogantly descended from the sky, stepping directly onto the Black Dragon Emperor’s head in blatant humiliation.

The Black Dragon Emperor flew into a rage. It had dominated for centuries, when had it ever suffered such humiliation, especially from a human trampling upon its head? Even its dragon roars carried several traces of sorrow now.

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing this, Su Lu laughed even louder. The higher-ups of the Asian Magic Association gathered around him, singing praises of their emperor’s glorious achievements.

In their eyes, this was the symbolic moment of their chairman "ascending the throne as emperor."

Xi Zhe, exhausted, revealed a smile and said, "Chairman, with the Black Dragon Emperor in our hands, we no longer need to fear the Archangels of the Holy City as much."

"Indeed." Su Lu was filled with ambition, but then sighed. "What a pity that the Nine Provinces cannot be used by me."

On the other side, seeing the Black Dragon Emperor’s blood contract gradually taking shape, Asharuiya’s pretty face turned pale as she urged, "Hurry and act! If we wait any longer, it’ll be too late."

Lu Jun also knew the time had come. After being worn down like this, the Black Dragon would be much easier to negotiate with once shown some goodwill.

He reached into the void with one hand and slowly drew out a black-gold divine sword. Golden dragon patterns shimmered upon its surface, circulating with immortal metallic radiance. An unrivaled sharpness pierced into the heavens, murderous aura surging wildly. Visions of metal cavalry, mountains of corpses, and bloody storms reflected across the sky.

Metal Element Natal Magic Tool, Tai’e Sword!

During the half year of rest within the Fiendish Abyss, his Calamity Talent, Supreme Unity Golden Light, had continuously gathered the metallic qi of heaven and earth. Hundreds of strands of immortal metallic essence had already been refined into dozens of concentrated threads and forged into the Tai’e Sword at maximum speed.

Now, Lu Jun could confidently proclaim the Tai’e Sword to be among the top ten demon-slaying weapons in the world, peerless in slaughter.

Yet before he could make a move, Norman, Wen Tai’s adopted son who had been lying in ambush on the other side of the Tyrant Mountains, acted first.

Boom boom boom!

Norman erupted into action, ascending into the void. Golden radiance blazed from his body like a scorching sun rising into the sky. The Light Element Super-tier Spell Holy Decree was unleashed, and a hundred-meter-tall Judgment Magic Sword descended from the heavens. The dazzling beam of light pierced through the skies, tearing apart the black curtain.

Clang!

Soon, the sound of metal colliding echoed across the thousand-mile wasteland. The golden giant sword slashed against the Myriad Spirit Blood Contract Pool, severing over a dozen restraining chains and carving a crack into its edge. Part of the Summoning Element Forbidden Curse ritual was destroyed.

Instantly, the Black Dragon Emperor felt the crushing pressure on its shoulders loosen slightly. It immediately seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and struggled madly.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The colossal dragon either lashed out with a claw, sending a heaven-covering black talon toward the group of Super-tier Mage experts in the sky, or swept its mountain-like dragon tail across the several Super Mages maintaining the formation on the ground.

Pfft!

Some of the Asian Magic Association’s higher-ups failed to react in time and were directly crushed into blood mist, their bodies and souls destroyed amid endless screams.

"Damn it, what a treacherous bastard!"

Su Lu was both shocked and furious as he roared angrily. Vast magical energy erupted from his body as he desperately maintained the power of the Forbidden Curse Magic, Myriad Spirit Blood Contract. For a moment, he was actually unable to free himself.

Fortunately, the Super-tier Mages under his command flew into a rage and immediately gave chase. Controlling their Star Palace, overwhelming Super-tier Spells bombarded the mysterious expert who had appeared in the distance.

"How dare you ambush Lord Su Lu! Such audacity! Once I find out who you are, I’ll drag your entire faction and clan down into ruin!"

"We were just about to succeed completely, yet because of you several more colleagues have died. Your crimes deserve death!"

"So what if you’re a peak Super-tier Mage? Since you dared come here and cause trouble, you’ll still end up beaten into a dead dog!"

The crowd denounced him one after another. These once lofty authorities and nobles scrambled desperately to act as Su Lu’s loyal dogs.

Norman struggled bitterly. So what if his cultivation stood at the peak? Under the siege of so many powerful figures, including peak experts on Zhao Jing’s level, he was already in grave danger.

He only had a single opportunity. Once Su Lu and the upper echelon of the Asian Magic Association fully reacted, there would be no further chance of breaking through.

At this moment, while suppressing the berserk Black Dragon with all his might, Su Lu coldly stared at Norman in the distance and ordered, "Capture him alive for me. I want to see exactly who dares interfere."

Norman retreated step by step, sorrow filling his heart. Was this truly all he could accomplish?

He no longer tried to force matters. He knew preserving himself for the future was the wisest choice.

"Austin!"

Before fleeing, Norman turned back and shouted loudly, "Wait for my return!"

That familiar voice caused the Black Dragon Emperor’s beast-like struggling body to tremble. It recognized the identity of the newcomer.

The flames of fury in its heart burned even fiercer. Its dragon soul began dissipating while its beastly nature surged upward. It would rather suffer severe soul damage and degenerate into a mindless beast than allow the contract to fully bind it, leaving behind even the slightest hope for the future.

"Beast!"

Su Lu’s expression changed drastically. This was the outcome he least wished to see. A true dragon that had lost its reason, a summoned beast that would not obey commands and would indiscriminately attack friend and foe alike once released—what use would such a thing be?

He could only think of ways to remedy it afterward.

Yet just as the Black Dragon Emperor had not fully fallen into tragedy, and Su Lu thought matters could not worsen further.

Clang!

The ringing sound of a sword leaving its sheath echoed from not far away. A vast yellow-white sword light surged upward like a boundless sea rising to the heavens, majestic and immense. Tidal waves rolled endlessly while the heavy sharpness of ten thousand metallic blades severed the sky itself. It swept across the Tyrant Mountains, stretching a hundred li, and once again slashed onto the Myriad Spirit Blood Contract Pool on the Black Dragon Emperor’s back.

Bang!

Lu Jun held the Tai’e Sword in hand, trench coat fluttering, like an immortal descending from beyond the heavens. A single sword strike from the west pierced directly toward Su Lu’s vital point.

Xi Zhe, Feilong, Karen, and the other upper echelons turned pale. It was not only the reflection of golden light, but also a reflection of their hearts.

"Forbidden Curse Magic!"

Su Lu roared furiously, "How did a Forbidden Curse Mage infiltrate nearby?! Are all of you useless freeloaders?!"

It was already too late.

The vast yellow-white sword light swept across the ancient and enormous multicolored blood pool. Endless sword qi overflowed without losing momentum, directly shattering the Myriad Spirit Blood Contract ritual into pieces.

Crack! Crack!

The bloodline shackles wrapped around the Black Dragon Emperor snapped apart one after another. Its body relaxed as it completely broke free.

The imprisoned dragon had escaped. The soaring dragon ascended into the heavens. The true dragon crawled out from its predicament, carrying overwhelming fury that would slaughter the world and leave millions of corpses in its wake.

Seeing this, everyone’s faces became even paler.

Su Lu retreated in disarray, no longer daring to stand atop the Black Dragon Emperor’s head. His figure flickered and flashed as he fled toward the ninety-thousand-li-high skies. He did not even have time to trouble himself with the attacker, because now that the Black Dragon Emperor’s shackles were broken, the first target of vengeance would undoubtedly be him.

Roar!

A gigantic black dragon claw suddenly covered the heavens. Vast as a mountain, blotting out the sky and sun, it slammed downward carrying overwhelming destructive force.

As expected, despite suffering severe injuries, the Black Dragon Emperor still launched itself into a frenzied massacre.

Su Lu, Xi Zhe, along with several peak-level Half-Forbidden Curse experts, barely escaped with their lives. The remaining dozens of Super-tier Mages could not withstand the overwhelming pressure of the true dragon and could only watch helplessly as the dragon claw descended upon them.

Smash!

When the Black Dragon Emperor lifted its claw, an enormous claw print remained on the ground, as large as a lake. At its center was nothing but pulped flesh and blood sludge.

"Damn it!"

Su Lu’s eyes split with rage as he shouted in heartbreak and fury, "You ruined my grand plan!"
