Chapter 653: The Battle of Two Dragons (2)

"Is that… Wu Qilong?"

Watching Wu Qilong engaged in fierce combat with the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall, Wu Li recognized his identity with just a single glance.

At this moment, Wu Li was extremely shocked. After all, in the future he had observed, there was no mention of the existence of a Divine Dragon. But upon second thought, now that even the apocalypse crisis had variables, it wasn't strange for Wu Qilong to transform into a Divine Dragon.

"I never expected Wu Qilong to actually transform into the legendary Divine Dragon."

Wu Li thought to himself. In his previous life, he knew of the existence of Divine Dragons but had never witnessed one. Now, seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel awed. The Dragon God Bloodline was indeed powerful, allowing him to fight evenly with the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall, who had long been entrenched at God-Lord Peak, despite only being at God Paragon Early Stage.

No, although it seemed evenly matched, the scales of victory were subtly tilting towards Wu Qilong—provided no one interfered in this battle.

Just as Wu Li was lost in thought, he inadvertently glanced and saw Wu Hao not far away. Instantly, he understood. With Great-Grandfather here, surely nothing unexpected would happen.

But just as Wu Li was about to leave, everything around him suddenly changed. By the time he reacted, he saw Wu Hao standing before him and Divine Dragon Feather beside him.

"Great-Grandfather, is there something you need to entrust to me?"

Wu Li realized that Great-Grandfather must have intervened, so there was likely something to entrust to him. Without hesitation, he spoke up.

Hearing this, Wu Hao nodded, his tone utterly calm: "Soon, someone will choose to support the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall. You are responsible for creating a favorable combat environment for Wu Qilong. Understood?"

At this point, Wu Li was already at God-Lord Peak. But with the formidable boost from the Space-Time Great Path, he was invincible below the God Emperor Realm. Even an existence at God Emperor Early Stage might not be his match.

Hearing Great-Grandfather's instructions, a conflicted expression flashed across Wu Li's face. He also sensed the experts hidden around, among them were mighty ones at the God Emperor Realm. Relying solely on himself would likely be difficult. But after some thought, Wu Li gritted his teeth and finally agreed: "I understand, Great-Grandfather. I won't let them interfere with the guardian divine beast."

Wu Li's inner thoughts: For him, this might not be a bad trial. If handled properly, it could serve as a stepping stone to restore himself to the God Emperor Realm.

Wu Hao nodded, then glanced at Wu Li before speaking: "You're already quite impressive now. You just need to consolidate further to break through to the God Emperor Realm."

"Thank you for your guidance, Great-Grandfather."

Wu Li expressed his gratitude, then looked at Divine Dragon Feather beside him, curious. But just as he was about to ask, Wu Hao spoke first: "This is Divine Dragon Feather, the inheritor of the Divine Dragon family. He is here because he needs to protect Wu Qilong in obtaining the Divine Dragon Inheritance."

"I see."

Wu Li suddenly understood but was still curious: Divine Dragon Feather was only at Celestial God Peak, so how could he protect Wu Qilong at God Paragon Early Stage? But Wu Li wisely didn't ask, since Divine Dragon Feather's presence here must have its reasons.

Seeing this, Divine Dragon Feather also looked at Wu Li and gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.

But at this moment, Divine Dragon Feather was inwardly shocked. He never expected that even a descendant of Senior Wu was so powerful—his aura was completely undetectable. And Senior Wu said to have his descendant block those who wanted to help the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall. So, what level was Senior Wu's descendant?

Divine Venerable? Or God Emperor?

Divine Dragon Feather felt he shouldn't think too much more, or he might be terrified by the implications.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the fierce battle between Wu Qilong and the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall had reached a white-hot stage. Neither Dragon could gain the upper hand, but the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall discovered something terrifying: Wu Qilong's aura was continuously growing stronger.

"This isn't right. The Dragon God Bloodline actually has the ability to grow stronger the more it fights."

The Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall noticed that Wu Qilong's aura was much stronger than at the beginning. This meant that if it dragged on, he might truly die at Wu Qilong's hands.

"But why haven't the Grand Elder and the others arrived yet? Contacting them has yielded no response."

Thinking of the Grand Elder and the other Dragons, the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall felt gloomy. So much time had passed; normally, the Grand Elder and the others should have arrived long ago. But they still hadn't shown up. Could something have happened?

But now, with the situation urgent, he couldn't afford to worry about that.

The Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall let out a furious roar, instantly transforming the sound waves into energy blasts hurtling toward Wu Qilong. Seeing this, Wu Qilong could only temporarily retreat, dodging the attack.

Seizing this opportunity, the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall distanced himself from Wu Qilong, then looked at him and said: "Stop! Divine Dragon Feather is in my hands. I've placed a Restriction on him. If I will it, Divine Dragon Feather will explode and die. As your companion, you surely don't want to see Divine Dragon Feather die, do you? Hand over the Dragon God Bloodline, and I can spare your lives!"

At this moment, the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall still didn't realize the severity of the situation. His gaze toward Wu Qilong was full of confidence. In his view, even if Wu Qilong wouldn't submit over this, it would definitely distract him, and that would be his chance to win.

Sure enough, as the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall's words fell, Wu Qilong's expression visibly turned furious in an instant: "You dare!"

"You can try and see if I dare!"

The Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall continued to threaten.

Meanwhile, Wu Qilong inwardly felt deep regret. He never expected the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall to have such a trick. As an existence who had lived for a long time, Wu Qilong naturally knew the Hall Master's words were just to deceive him. If he handed over the Dragon God Bloodline, death would surely await both him and Divine Dragon Feather.

But if he had to abandon Divine Dragon Feather's safety to attack the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall, he couldn't do it either.

"If anything happens to Divine Dragon Feather, I will fight you to the death. Now, you have only one choice: release Divine Dragon Feather and leave immediately. I can pretend this never happened. But if you choose to continue threatening me, we might as well perish together!"

Wu Qilong said with great resolve. At this point, he had made up his mind: he absolutely could not accept the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall's demands, or they would surely die!
