Chapter 432 No Matter What Choice You Make, You’ll Die

The dragon had not expected that even at this time, Zhu Ling would still command him to do things, which made him feel somewhat angry.

After all, he was the master of this dragon palace, and Zhu Ling was at best a guest. Since when did a guest get to order the host around?

However, when the dragon met Zhu Ling’s gaze, he instantly cowed.

In the face of life and death, there are no guests and hosts, only the one with the stronger fist gets to call the shots.

The dragon simply wished to die a natural death, he did not want to provoke Zhu Ling, the little disaster star, and end up dying an agonizing death.

The dragon didn’t give it much thought, as it was merely a matter of squashing an ant with ease.

With a flick of his claws, the cave in the distance instantly formed thick layers of ice, sealing off the exit.

Just when the dragon thought he had blocked Liu Maiqiang’s escape route, Liu Maiqiang suddenly pulled out a lump that looked like red soil from his pocket and threw it onto the ice.

"Fire clay!"

Zhu Ling recognized what Liu Maiqiang had thrown at a glance and was utterly astonished.

Fire clay, a substance containing the element of fire, is a type of soil that at first glance appears no different from ordinary red soil. Nothing can grow in it because the fire element is far too intense.

But when driven by spiritual power, the fire clay could release a vast amount of heat in an instant.

In the past, some Qi refiners used fire clay to refine elixirs because, unlike open flames, it was more concealed and safe, and could raise the temperature quickly in a short time.

Latter, some started using fire clay as a weapon, and those struck by it generally had no chance to resist; their bodies would be burned through in an instant.

This time, Liu Maiqiang threw the fire clay onto the thick ice and then activated it with spiritual power.

The next second, the thick ice was burned through with a large hole!

Such thick ice, under normal circumstances, couldn’t even be penetrated by artillery fire, yet it had been burned through by that small piece of fire clay, and Liu Maiqiang took the opportunity to make his escape from the cave!

Han Chun was frantic on the side.

"Chase him quickly, if he gets out and spreads rumors, we will all be in trouble!"

Neither Zhu Ling nor her companions knew how extensive the power of the hidden family was, but as a member of the Ninth Institute, Han Chun was aware.

Put simply, if the fact that they had casually killed a scion of a noble family today was leaked by Liu Maiqiang to those hidden families,

then the Ninth Institute would have no reason to exist.

Compared to those truly powerful hidden families, the Ninth Institute was essentially a minor and trivial organization.

Especially since this organization served the Dragon Country and not one specific family, the strength and unity of the Ninth Institute were far from matching those of the hidden families.

Han Chun was anxious because she knew that if Liu Maiqiang escaped, they would all die; no one would get away.

Yet looking at Zhu Ling, she was the picture of composure and showed no signs of panic.

Wu Bin also started to urge.

"He’s on the run and you’re still standing here, make a move!"

Zhu Ling said with a smile, "Someone is taking action for me, why should I bother? Just wait and watch the spectacle, I’ll show you how ants die."

Zhu Ling had barely finished speaking when the dragon opened its mouth and let out a strange pitch.

The vibration from this pitch was so strong that you could visibly see the ripples of sound.

The next second, the crystals guarding the entrance began to shatter.

The dragon slaves sealed within the crystals also came back to consciousness.

Wu Bin had assumed that these dragon slaves, having slept for so many years, would be very slow to react.

Who would have known that the awakened Dragon Slaves wouldn’t hesitate at all and immediately charged towards Liu Maiqiang, their speed nearly three times that of Liu Maiqiang’s!

In less than ten seconds, over a hundred Dragon Slaves wielding weapons had completely surrounded Liu Maiqiang.

Liu Maiqiang was in despair.

He hadn’t expected the Dragon Slaves to awaken so quickly.

He had originally thought that as long as he could escape the cave, he would be out of Zhu Ling’s and that giant dragon’s control.

He really hadn’t taken the Dragon Slaves into account.

"Kill."

The giant dragon made a ’kill’ gesture without any hesitation.

All the Dragon Slaves raised their weapons and charged at Liu Maiqiang first thing.

Wu Bin hadn’t seen it before and only felt that Liu Maiqiang was a rather honest kid, and he felt somewhat reluctant to kill him.

But when he saw Liu Maiqiang fighting among the Dragon Slaves like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, Wu Bin was completely shocked.

"Is this kid’s combat power so strong? Is his realm of strength that high?"

Zhu Ling shook her head and said, "At most, he’s at the level of a junior Qi Refiner, and his Spiritual Power isn’t that abundant either."

"But he has many Magic Artifacts and Magic Treasures on him, which means he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and if you’re not careful, he might use a killing move that can cause great damage to the surrounding Dragon Slaves."

"However, this is also a good thing for us. After all, Dragon Slaves are meant to die; it doesn’t matter how many of them perish."

"Let him kill as he pleases; in the end, it’s definitely him who will die."

Zhu Ling was so confident because she understood the scale of the Dragon Clan Tomb well and knew the giant dragon wouldn’t just have arranged so few Dragon Slaves nearby.

As expected, just when Liu Maiqiang had killed a batch of Dragon Slaves and thought he could escape with his life, the giant dragon called out in the dragon language once more, and countless more Dragon Slaves surged out from all directions, pouncing towards Liu Maiqiang.

Gradually, Liu Maiqiang began to run out of Spiritual Power, and all the Magic Treasures and Artifacts he had brought were used up.

"Don’t kill me, please don’t kill me, I swear I won’t tell anyone. I’ll do anything you ask, just spare my life!"

At this moment, Liu Maiqiang had finally lost his previous composure.

In the face of real death, no one can remain indifferent.

It’s just that neither Zhu Ling nor the giant dragon would show mercy to Liu Maiqiang.

Especially after seeing Liu Maiqiang’s strong combat ability, not only Zhu Ling, but even Han Chun and Nightingale felt a chill down their spines.

If Liu Maiqiang had truly wanted to ambush them, they feared they wouldn’t stand a chance.

At this point, Liu Maiqiang’s despair had turned to fear.

Because he was running out of Spiritual Power, he had to make a choice.

Whether to use his Spiritual Power to continue maintaining the pressure or to use it for combat.

But in reality, he had no choice.

Because no matter which one he chose, he was going to die.

Thud!

The next second, a long spear pierced directly into his chest.

Before Liu Maiqiang could react, more and more spears plunged into his body!
