CHAPTER 451: CHAPTER 451: THEN YOU ADMIT DEFEAT

Within the bubble, two giant dragons faced each other from a distance.

Brother Cheng glanced over and chuckled, raising his paw in greeting.

"Yo, brother, what a coincidence running into you here."

Xuanming once went to Cang Cheng looking for trouble, lost a bet, and ended up delivering a pile of Immortal Artifacts and Treasures as a courier.

In Brother Cheng’s eyes, he was actually quite cute.

But in Xuanming’s eyes, Brother Cheng was not cute at all.

"Who’s having a coincidence with you, you troublemaker!"

"Don’t be like that, we’re all one family in the Dragon Race, let’s love each other."

"The hell with you..."

Xuanming’s eyes flickered as he suddenly thought of something, then he chuckled.

"Oh really?"

"Family, huh, you’re right, we are family."

He rubbed his paws, his tone for the first time becoming friendly.

"Since that’s the case, why don’t you just give up voluntarily?"

Even someone like Brother Cheng, who often plays by his own rules, was stunned by the proposition.

"Why should I give up?"

Xuanming had a look as if saying, "You don’t get it, are you stupid?"

"You give up voluntarily, that way I won’t expend any energy this round and can progress further later!"

"Is there really such a strategy?"

"Yeah, those allies of the Qilin Race do it all the time. We can do it too, being placed in the same group is a golden opportunity!"

Xuanming patiently explained the necessity of such a tactic.

His dad thought having two Dragon Races together was a bad thing, but he saw it as a great opportunity.

Brother Cheng thought to himself, "Are you delusional?"

"Then why don’t you give up for me?"

Xuanming said as if it were only natural, "Because I’m stronger than you, you can’t argue with that, can you?"

Brother Cheng was left speechless.

I just defeated the Golden Thread Insect, which should be a stronger existence than you, right?

Where do you get this misguided confidence from?

Seeing him silent, Xuanming thought he was psychologically unable to accept it.

So he continued to persuade him earnestly and sincerely, "I know you came with the idea of making a splash, but you’ve already achieved your goal now."

"Do you think winning against the Golden Thread Insect is impressive? But didn’t you use a tricky method?"

"The Grand Demon Assembly values hard strength; relying on shortcuts won’t get you far!"

"For the benefit of the Dragon Race, paving the way for stronger individuals fits the big picture, doesn’t it?"

"If I make it to the Earth Division, I’ll definitely support the Azure Dragon Valley more often."

Brother Cheng thought, "Should I be thanking you or something?"

The Cyan Dragon Emperor above could hear the voices inside the bubble.

After hearing their conversation, surprisingly, a wave of anticipation rose within him.

Xuanming isn’t stupid after all!

If Cang Cheng is persuaded to give up voluntarily, it would be ’perfect’.

In any case, the Great Emperor didn’t expect Brother Cheng to achieve much at all from the start; the key was that he must have at least one Earth Division member on his side in Cyan Dragon Valley.

"I also think your suggestion of paving the way for stronger individuals is quite good."

Inside the bubble, Brother Cheng actually smiled warmly and agreed with Xuanming.

"But I’m not entirely confident in your strength. If I give way to you and you still don’t get far, wouldn’t that be a waste of my sacrifice?"

Hearing this, Xuanming was slightly displeased.

"What do you have to worry about my strength for? I’m late-stage Quasi-Emperor!"

"In the last two battles, I won easily, didn’t I?"

Brother Cheng shook his head in regret, "But I haven’t seen it, unless you prove it a bit now, let me see how strong you actually are!"

"How do you want me to prove it?" Xuanming asked quite seriously.

"How about this, you stand still, let me attack you once..."

Before Brother Cheng could finish his sentence, the Azure Dragon Empress hiding in the shadows nearly spat out her drink.

Can you be any more damaging?

Xuanming interrupted him too, "You think I’m stupid, standing still to let you hit me?"

Brother Cheng spread his hands and said helplessly, "Aren’t you very powerful? You don’t even dare to take one move from me, then how can you talk about going further?"

"That’s too dangerous!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll only use thirty percent of my power."

"Really?"

"Of course, with so many demons watching, and as the Great Emperor of the Azure Dragon Race, representing the face of Azure Dragon Valley, how could I lie?"

Xuanming was still a bit worried, "Truly only thirty percent power?"

Brother Cheng said seriously, "Absolutely, we’re all one family in the Dragon Race, how could I attack you with full power?"

Xuanming calculated secretly; an early-stage Quasi-Emperor couldn’t possibly shake his late-stage Quasi-Emperor level.

Moreover, the Azure Dragon Race focuses primarily on speed, unlike the Golden Dragon Race, which emphasizes attack power.

Moreover, it’s just thirty percent power, he should be able to take it easily, without losing a single hair.

"As long as I can take it, you’ll give up, right?"

"Of course, if my thirty percent power can’t shake you, continuing to fight would just be humiliating myself, wouldn’t it?"

These words hit the nail on Xuanming’s pride.

He arrogantly tilted his neck, "Glad you get it!"

"Then bring it on!"

"Only thirty percent, not one percent more!"

"Alright, alright!"

After the two giant dragons reached an agreement, they prepared to face off again.

Xuanming was still quite cautious, standing still without retaliating, but he made sure to stack some buffs, like the Water Heroic Soul and the Network Heroic Soul or something.

He also activated the Heart of Rule brand of the Water Element.

The bloodline of the Seven-Horned Cyan Dragon was also ignited.

On the other side, Brother Cheng was selecting his Rule Brands.

Cang Ling couldn’t bear to watch any further.

"Hold back a bit, don’t cripple him, after all, he’s the eldest son of Xuanming."

"Sigh, when did the kid become so gullible?"

Brother Cheng patted his chest to assure, "Relax, we’re all one in the Dragon Race, how could I do something like that."

By the time he finished speaking, he had selected 16 Brands from 49.

At the moment, other bubbles were already sparking with intense battles, but this group hadn’t started yet.

The demons watching below didn’t know what was happening, they only saw the two dragon races conversing endlessly with no action.

Just when everyone was getting impatient, finally, some movement was seen.

"What’s Xuanming doing?"

"Seems like he’s defending."

"Is he not planning to fight, why is he floating there without moving?"

"Who knows..."

The demons discussed heatedly, as Brother Cheng got ready.

"Here I come!"

He even gave a heads-up.

Opposite, Xuanming boldly nodded.

"Bring it on, let me show you the foundation of a late-stage Quasi-Emperor!"

And in the next instant, he was directly engulfed by 16 Rule Brands.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion!

Inside the bubble, a storm engulfed the entire area.

Xuanming didn’t even have time to resist, as the power of the Water Element Rule Brand was shattered, followed by the twisting and collapse of the Heroic Soul.

He felt his massive body had turned into a tiny lone grass, tossed around in the eye of a hurricane, no longer under his control.

Whoosh!

He flew up directly.

Then he crashed heavily into the edge of the still-to-expand bubble.

Because, among those 16 Rule Brands, there was also a Space Rule.

Thud!

The bubble vibrated, and Xuanming’s massive dragon body bounced back, finally crashing heavily to the ground.
