Chapter 99 - 87 underground assassins

Ai Lin was quite active, but she was severely drained of her physical strength and needed something high in energy but easy to digest. As for himself, generous amounts of meat were satisfying enough. Yes, he also needed to ready some food for Bajie and the others, who were currently sleeping in the dormitory. Young dragons sleep for a long time, but they digest their food extraordinarily quickly. Typical amounts of food seem to be insufficient for them.

As Long Yi was walking and making calculations, a bone-chilling cold suddenly surged from under his feet!

Long Yi immediately dismissed all ill thoughts from his mind. He abruptly leaped backward, and almost simultaneously, a human figure broke through the ground and crawled up from underneath.

Held in each of the figure’s hands was a short knife. There was not a hint of reflection off the blades, making them seem entirely made of stone.

The fangs of the rock-traversing dragon?

Long Yi’s eyes narrowed, this person was a Dragon Rider of the rock-traversing dragon!

Rock-traversing dragons can travel through rocks and stones, just like their names suggest. They are a type of ground dragon and do not have wings, thus they cannot fly. However, they can move through rocks and soil at half the surface speed. Riders on these dragons can also dive below the ground and can do so without suffocating.

The armies of many nations especially recruit rock-traversing Dragon Riders to serve as their surprise attack force. These riders also handle the task of defending against any unexpected attacks by enemy rock-traversing dragons and their riders.

Assassin organizations also value the unique attributes of these dragons and have recruited several rock-traversing Dragon Riders. This has invariably produced astonishing results.

Right now, Long Yi was sure that this person belonged to one such assassin organization.

"Unbelievable, I have encountered not only spies, but now also assassins. I, Long Yi, am quite flabbergasted by this attention," Long Yi smiled.

Long Yi landed from afar, and the moment his feet were about to touch the ground, he felt an imminent danger much stronger than before attacking him!

There was someone else!

Long Yi did not try to stop or rest. In almost an instant, his Tier 18 Fighting Aura fully exploded, and he tried to jump away in mid-air again. Unexpectedly, a powerful sucking force from under the ground dragged him down!

Gravity Technique?

Without hesitation, Long Yi’s feet had barely touched the ground when two other daggers already stretched out from underground!

"Get lost!"

Long Yi roared, a Fighting Aura converged on his fists and smashed down hard. Meanwhile, the man below did not retreat, instead, directly jabbing his two knives towards Long Yi’s lower body!

Bang!

Squeak!

The explosion of the Fighting Aura hit the man’s head directly, but Long Yi’s trouser legs had been completely torn apart by knife edges. Moreover, the points of the two daggers hit directly between Long Yi’s legs.

"Fuck you!"

The eyeballs of Long Yi turned red.

The severe pain was something that any man would understand, be aware of, and be utterly terrified of. If it wasn’t for his whimsical decision to wear his dragon scale armor for training, and Bajie’s dragon scales being from another plane and remarkably sturdy, the two daggers would have inevitably inflicted a devastating cut on him which he would have regretted for life. However, facing the thunderous strike, the dragon scale armor was not a pure hard substance. The tremendous impact made Long Yi experience immense pain, and the severe pain from his lower body this time really drove him crazy.

Long Yi had always been wearing his dragon scale armor. This robust armor not only provides excellent defense but also restricts Long Yi’s freedom of movement. Long Yi has always worn the armor in training with Ai Lin. That is a way for Long Yi to restrict his power, and, at the same time, it was a form of training.

But now, he needed no restrictions.

Power, unleashed!

Tier 36 Fighting Aura, meaning one Dragon Mark plus sixteen Tiers of Fighting Aura. Bajie’s Dragon Power formed a raging flame around Long Yi, making him appear as a demon emerging from a sea of fire.

He lifted his arm and punched the ground. The impact was like a giant stone falling, creating a sudden two-meter radius crater around him!

Bang!

The second punch!

Bang!

And the third punch!

Just as Long Yi was about to land his fourth punch, the initial attacker rushed towards him, the twin blades aimed directly at Long Yi’s eyes!

"Get over here!"

The attacker originally thought Long Yi would at least dodge but did not expect Long Yi to instead lift his arm. A vast Dragon Power swept him up, and he fell faster toward Long Yi! And what greeted his head was a giant fist!

Bang!

Just with that one hit, the man’s head was shattered to pieces! But Long Yi didn’t even look at him, his second punch was resolute, hitting the ground again!

Bang!

And after this punch, the attacker hiding under the ground could no longer bear it, suddenly rushing out from behind Long Yi, his mouth, nostrils, and ears were oozing with blood! Long Yi wasn’t aimlessly attacking the ground before. Instead, he was blasting his full-body Dragon Fighting Aura into the ground repeatedly, driving the man out! Otherwise, if the man had returned to the rock-traversing dragon via his original route, who could have found him?

As the man tried to escape, Long Yi didn’t even turn his head, instantly spinning around and landing a side kick. With a crisp crack, the man’s waist was broken by Long Yi’s kick. The man grit his teeth through the pain, frantically calling for his Rock-traversing Dragon to catch up and pick him up before he hit the ground, while also carrying him away from this place! His target this time was too strong, possessing strength surpassing a Dragon Mark! Even when getting the first strike, he couldn’t immobilize him. He was completely outmatched!

Run!

He must run!

But, would Long Yi let him escape?

As if he was dreaming!

Before the man could hit the ground, a large hand had already grabbed his ankle! At the same time, an immense force arrived, halting his body in midair and sending him spinning, only to be slammed into the ground like a rag doll.

"Fuck you!"

Bang!

Ahh...

A dull thud followed by a scream.

"Fuck your grandmother!"

Bang!

Ahh...

Another dull thud followed by another scream.

"Fuck your ancestors!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Long Yi wasn’t particularly adept at cursing. His eyes reddened in rage as he dangled the man upside down, crushing him into the ground. The man was battered beyond recognition, paralyzed by the frenzied Fighting Aura coursing through his body!

"Don’t kill me! I’ll tell you who sent me!"

The aggressor shouted with his dying breath.

"I don’t give a shit!"

Crack!

With a powerful squeeze of his hand like a vice, the attacker’s leg bone was crushed to dust!

"Ahhh—"

The attacker hadn’t expected things to turn out this way, believing he was invincible. But now he realized his perceived invincibility was simply because he hadn’t faced true terror. The enraged Long Yi didn’t care where he was grabbing, wherever he touched was instantly crushed like a peasant under a Giant Monster, a ghastly sight to behold. The attacker was drenched in blood, barely clinging to life, while Long Yi was also covered in blood, but it was all someone else’s.

The commotion drew the attention of the academy’s security personnel, and several Flying Dragons took off, casting light on Long Yi.

After a burst of venting, as the pain subsided, Long Yi’s anger gradually faded. He threw the man down and lifted his foot.

"Attention, whoever is down there, stop all attacks immediately!"

The academy’s security guard aboard a Flying Dragon called out from the sky.

"Heh."

Long Yi chuckled, swiftly stomping down.

Crack!

The attacker’s lower body, along with his entire pelvis, was crushed with a single stomp by Long Yi. The man lost consciousness instantly!

Hiss—

Even from a distance, the airborne security guards felt a chill run down their spines. They understood what had just happened, something any man could relate to. But they couldn’t allow someone to openly murder right in front of them!

"Beware, everyone below! Dispel your Dragon Fighting Aura immediately, put your hands behind your head and stay prone! Or else we’ll attack!"

The security personnel in the sky were already numbering five, the strongest of which had two Dragon Marks. Especially since they were mounted on dragons, they had more than enough power to deal with one person.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened!

"Roar—"

With a heart-rending roar, a seven-meter-long adult Rock-traversing Dragon burst from the ground, its jaws heading straight for Long Yi! If the conjunction between a Dragon Knight and his bonded dragon was good, the loss of the Dragon Knight would plunge the giant dragon into unprecedented pain. This pain would drive the Dragon Clan into frenzy, sometimes attacking any life form regardless of friend or foe!

At this moment, the dragon’s eyes were already streaming with blood, its jaws wide open and rapidly closing in on Long Yi!
