Chapter 525, Massacre in Jianghai City

Translator: Silavin

 

Chen Tianzhi’s unusual movement naturally attracted the attention of the nearby passersby.

 

Originally, Chen Tianzhi’s full-body cloak was already quite strange, but because equipment existed in this world, all sorts of attire could potentially appear, so Chen Tianzhi’s full-body cloak had not attracted too much attention.

 

Now, as he suddenly knelt down on one knee, immediately causing many people around him to stop and attentively watch.

 

In the next second, with Chen Tianzhi’s palm as the centre, a massive Transport Array suddenly appeared.

 

This Transport Array had a diameter exceeding several thousand metres, directly encompassing many surrounding buildings.

 

The nearby pedestrians found themselves caught within the Array, pulled by the Space Principles, unable to escape. They all became panic-stricken.

 

Clearly, this strange person had merely opened some sort of Transport Array to summon a massive entity!

 

The pedestrians who were caught up in this immediately became panic-stricken. Before they could even call for help, the Transport Array fully illuminated, followed by a Dragon-like roar emanating from within.

 

*Boom!* Accompanied by a tremendous sound, a Giant Bone Dragon several thousand metres in size flew out from the Transport Array, directly collapsing countless buildings. The civilians within and near the Transport Array could not withstand the pressure from this Bone Dragon and were instantly shattered into blood mist!

 

Thus, in the originally peaceful Jianghai City, a massive entity rose from the ground, flying into mid-air, looking down upon the entire city.

 

Chen Tianzhi stood on a Bone Dragon’s back, removing the cloak from his body to reveal a set of white bone armour.

 

The Bone Dragon flapped its wings, with a voice exploding in Chen Tianzhi’s mind. “Is this the place where that Dragon Tamer lives?”

 

Chen Tianzhi answered. “Yes. This is Jianghai City in Dragon Country, Lu Fan’s hometown. Lu Fan is definitely the Dragon Tamer you seek. After all, in this world, there is only one Dragon Tamer that had real Giant Dragons as Pets. It must be Lu Fan.”

 

“Then…” Divine Bone continued to inquire, “Why would he be in this city? I don’t want to waste more time. If that Dragon Tamer is not here, such a small city cannot bear the brunt of my wrath!”

 

Chen Tianzhi quickly said. “Please rest assured, Senior, Lu Fan is definitely here! He’s quite famous in Dragon Country. Without having to even ask, I already know he has returned and is even scheduled to give a speech at his old school today. I believe by now, he must have heard the commotion here. If he’s not a coward, he will definitely appear soon enough.”

 

Hearing Chen Tianzhi’s words, Divine Bone was very satisfied and said, “Hmm… if that’s truly the case, then you’ve done well. If today, I successfully kill that Dragon Tamer and devour all his Pet Dragons, I will definitely reward you.”

 

After a pause, Divine Bone asked with interest. “Speaking of which, you mentioned earlier that you are from Dragon Country, and this is within Dragon Country’s borders, is that correct?”

 

Chen Tianzhi was taken aback, not understanding why Divine Bone would ask such a question. After some thought, he replied. “That’s right.”

 

Divine Bone laughed. “Then, do you need me to show mercy and spare the people below? They are your fellow countrymen; you wouldn’t want me to massacre them here, would you?”

 

Chen Tianzhi remained silent, pondering in his heart why Divine Bone would even ask such a question.

 

Divine Bone was clearly not an ordinary Monster; concepts like country and compatriots were completely laughable to him. If it were someone else, Chen Tianzhi might have chosen to ask Divine Bone to show mercy and not cause too many civilian casualties in Dragon Country, rather than immediately destroying the city as he had done in Extremistis Country.

 

But the one asking was Divine Bone of all things, and Chen Tianzhi did not believe that a single word from him would truly make the other party exercise restraint.

 

Chen Tianzhi was wise in this aspect. After some thought, he did not intend to speak up for Jianghai City. If it were Qingzhou City, where his relatives and friends lived, he might have risked his life trying to persuade Divine Bone to not do it.

 

But this was Jianghai City—what did it have to do with him, Chen Tianzhi?!

 

“No need.” Chen Tianzhi decided, his tone resolute. “Senior, please proceed as you wish; there’s no need to be concerned about anything. What do the lives of Commoners matter to me? Killing more people will only force Lu Fan to appear sooner.”

 

“Haha, good!” Divine Bone was quite satisfied with Chen Tianzhi’s answer. “I increasingly feel that your temperament suits my taste quite well. Choosing you as my right-hand man was a great decision.”

 

“Yes, what are countrymen? That crude concept is just a joke. If you truly become my Divine Bone Slave in the future, you’ll be second only to me and above all others. How could Humans, such Lower Life Forms, be qualified to be your compatriots?”

 

“To you and me, they are merely insects; killing them means nothing. If you were to consider any feelings of kinship, it would only be a hindrance to our grand path.” Divine Bone’s high evaluation of Chen Tianzhi made the latter secretly sigh in relief, thinking that indeed, that question had been a test.

 

If he had truly tried to prevent Divine Bone from massacring the people here, he would likely have been the first to die. After all, Lu Fan had already been found, so Chen Tianzhi was not of much use to Divine Bone anymore.

 

If he were to hinder Divine Bone’s actions here, wouldn’t he just be a burden?

 

After secretly feeling fortunate, Chen Tianzhi said solemnly. “Thank you, Senior, for your high praise.”

 

Divine Bone did not respond, folding his wings before spreading them out again. Countless Skeletal Monsters flew out from under his wings like a flood, dispersing throughout Jianghai City, just as in Extremistis Country, poised to commence a massacre.

 

Since they knew Lu Fan was here, the matter was simple—simply start a massacre, and Lu Fan would surely appear.

 

In an instant, the entire Jianghai City fell into chaos.

 

…

 

Five minutes earlier.

 

The hall of Third Academy was bustling with activity, with at least ten thousand people seated, watching Lu Fan as he walked onto the stage.

 

Lu Fan had not anticipated that today’s speech would be such a grand occasion. Despite some preparation, seeing so many people still made him feel somewhat overwhelmed.

 

Beside him, Bai Hengjian remained composed, telling Lu Fan to just say a few words.

 

After some thought, Lu Fan did not want to disappoint the expectations of the thousands of his Juniors below. He extracted some valuable experiences from his journey to becoming stronger and shared them.

 

The high school students below listened with great interest, immediately becoming engrossed.

 

However, Lu Fan had only been speaking for a few minutes when a disturbance spread through Jianghai City, and simultaneously, the air raid siren began to wail.
