Chapter 2709: Dragon Slaughter

"Haha!"After being repelled, the North Palace King did not get angry; instead, he laughed heartily, "Very good! Very good!"

"What’s good about it? Getting hit is good?"

Julius Reed brandished his sword, step by step closing in on the North Palace King.

The tactics just now, he had experienced them.

The opponent directly condensed the surrounding spiritual power, imprisoning it.

If it weren’t for Julius Reed’s immense spiritual power, directly shattering the confinement, even a celestial deity couldn’t have saved him when the sword came down.

"You are appraising my strength."

The North Palace King pointed at Julius Reed, nodding satisfactorily, "The power of the crown is indeed mighty! It can make a modern martial artist fight me to a standstill. Although this is just a temporary standstill."

"But this also proves that this sword and this crown are truly extraordinary treasures! It wasn’t in vain that I slumbered for hundreds of thousands of years, waiting for their appearance."

"Hand them over; now everything should come to an end."

The North Palace King charged forward!

In a mere dozen meters, the distance seemed like hundreds of meters!

The North Palace King dashed forward, directly ramming towards Julius Reed!

At a distance of about five meters from Julius Reed, he suddenly disappeared.

Yet from the void appeared a thousand troops and horses!

Shouts of killing, sounds of marching.

Endlessly flowing!

Julius Reed single-handedly wielded his sword, wildly flailing forward!

Although he broke through the illusion in front of him, he realized that he seemed somewhat fatigued.

Too much force exerted, leading to exhaustion.

The thousand troops and horses were all condensed from spiritual power!

With extremely strong destructive power!

If an ordinary person encountered it, they would undoubtedly be crushed to death.

But now, it’s different.

Julius Reed possesses the crown and the Nine Provinces King’s sword!

Directly shattering these impediments in front of him.

"I have never probed your depths?"

The North Palace King appeared back where he was, hands behind his back, speaking indifferently, "I originally thought that earlier attack was your limit. I even believed you would suffer heavy injuries from the impact of my thousand troops, yet none of that happened. You withstood them."

"Honestly, you surprised me. But this cannot become my reason for not killing you."

Saying this, he walked out.

Julius Reed followed him out as well.

Fighting inside, should the building collapse, it wouldn’t be a good thing at all.

The North Palace King could lift a cruise ship, but he might not be able to lift this building.

The outside was extremely open.

The North Palace King rarely asked, "Who are you? I want to know your name."

"Who I am doesn’t matter, because the dead are not worthy to know my name." Julius Reed responded bluntly.

"Then taste my technique!" The North Palace King sneered coldly, "My patience has run out; I’ll send you straight to the heavens!"

Saying this, he raised his hand!

In the sky, clouds surprisingly gathered!

Before this, it was still a bright sunny day!

But now, the sky darkened.

"Stealing the heavens and changing the sun!"

The North Palace King couldn’t help but marvel at his own technique.

And not far from them.

Two people stood.

"Old friend, I didn’t expect you to come too?"

The speaker was the old man who previously appeared underwater with the North Palace King.

And the other was the Southern-sky person who was previously standing on the ground, watching Julius Reed’s airplane fly by.

"As a Southern-sky person, I naturally have to watch the spectacle."

The Southern-sky person stroked his beard, smilingly said, "Black Wind, what do you think? When will we seize the crown of the North Palace King? Or should we join forces?"

They clearly observed the fight in the courtyard.

Both were ancient martial artists; they had no doubts the North Palace King would kill the man.

"The North Palace King achieved greatness in youth, one of the rare young kings. His methods are extremely ruthless!" Black Wind squinted his eyes, looking at the courtyard, saying deeply, "I advised him before, underwater. But he still came out recklessly, wanting to take the crown."

"Such a person is more than just confident. If I were to fight him, I couldn’t last a hundred rounds."

Black Wind shook his head, full of admiration, "This is also the reason for the North Palace King’s pride."

"North Palace King... I’m not very familiar with him, but I only know one thing: whoever jumps in first to take that crown cannot be a smart person." The Southern-sky person, cunningly smiling, lowered his voice, "How many people do you think he can withstand? I just need to say he’s injured, those waiting for the opportunity will swarm in."

"But there’s one thing I don’t understand." The Southern-sky person squinted his eyes, puzzled, "Why does this young man dare to challenge the North Palace King? Just because... he has the crown?"

"Or does he think he is capable?"

From the moment he saw Julius Reed from the airplane, the Southern-sky person was considering a question.

Or perhaps this youth is overly confident!

Thinking that with the crown in hand, he can directly face the North Palace King!

The Southern-sky person had slumbered before the North Palace King; he knew nothing of the North Palace King’s methods.

But through the earlier fight, and Black Wind’s words, he roughly had an estimate.

The North Palace King achieved greatness in youth, undoubtedly a master.

Confidence is good, but arrogance can kill.

"Is there a possibility." Black Wind pondered for a moment before speaking, "He knows he’s doomed, so chooses to hand over the crown to the North Palace King?"

"You came late, missed a good show." The Southern-sky person frowned, "The North Palace King attempted to recruit him, but was rejected, very decisively."

"What? The North Palace King tried to recruit him?" Black Wind was full of surprise.

He knows the North Palace King, familiar with this young man’s character.

Strictly speaking, he and the North Palace King could even be considered allies.

Yet no one cares about these things.

Coming here, there are no friends, no enemies.

Only competitors.

Black Wind knows the North Palace King’s character is aloof; such a person wouldn’t actively recruit others.

Yet the Southern-sky person said, the North Palace King proactively recruited him.

And was even rejected!

"Your logic is flawed." The Southern-sky person shook his head, "Unfortunately, we can’t kill the North Palace King here and take the crown. Let’s wait a bit longer."

With that, he was about to leave.

But just then!

The ground behind him trembled continuously!

The Southern-sky person turned around, seeing a golden dragon!

Eight-headed golden dragon!

This is the symbol of the Nine Provinces King!

A dragon with eight heads!

Originally, there were nine heads.

Since emerging from Seven Gem Slope, it became eight heads.

"Once the golden dragon appears, that person is doomed, it’s over." The Southern-sky person shook his head, somewhat disappointed, "I thought the person with the crown would be incredibly arrogant. Turns out, not quite."

"Such a pity for this crown!"

"Southern-sky person, look quickly!"

Just as the Southern-sky person turned around, Black Wind exclaimed!

"What’s wrong?"

The Southern-sky person laughed, "Is there any suspense in this showdown? Should we continue watching? We can’t snatch his crown."

"Someone is going to slay the dragon!"

Black Wind’s tone was somewhat excited.

"What!" The Southern-sky person also swiftly turned around.

Only to see—

Someone gripping a sword with both hands, stepping on the golden dragon’s head, directly severing one of its heads!
