Chapter 2227: Liu Dabao’s Help
“Brother Dabao…
“Y-y-you…
“Why have you come out?!”
Ying Bao pointed at An Lin as if she had seen a ghost.
An Lin blinked and asked, “Why have I come out? I’ve finished reading the books, so I naturally came back out. Perhaps I should’ve taken a nap in there?”
An expression of frustration and anger appeared on Gu Qiu’s face as she said, “Not even ten minutes have passed since you entered, yet you’re saying that you’ve finished reading all of the books? Do you know how difficult it is to enter the Library of Heavenly Books? I truly regret wasting a chance to enter the Library of Heavenly Books on you…”
This woman had appeared gentle and of little emotion this entire time, yet her face was flushed a slight shade of red at this moment. She was extremely furious, and even the rims of her eyes had become slightly red. In fact, her eyes were already glistening with tears.
She felt like her extremely precious sacrifice had been ruthlessly wasted by the man before her. Moreover, he had wasted it right before her very eyes.
“Er… I think there’s some misunderstanding between us. I genuinely finished reading all of the books…” An Lin tried to explain. After all, he couldn’t let her feel that she had completely wasted her chance to enter the Library of Heavenly Books.
However, at this moment, the Dragon Emperor suddenly roared and started to charge at the severely wounded Red Empress. Like a boundless fury of the heavens, a golden light spread throughout the entire sky. This golden light possessed a devastating might.
“M-hm, I’ll explain it later.” An Lin suddenly vanished from before Gu Qiu.
Gu Qiu had initially felt a little better upon seeing An Lin try to explain with a tense and nervous expression. However, upon seeing him suddenly disappear, she couldn’t help but stomp her feet in anger.
“Red Empress, it’s over!” The Dragon Emperor widened his maw as he charged down from the sky, attempting to bite that woman who was like a wilting flower.
The Red Empress gritted her teeth as she tried to stand up and block this attack. However, the power of light was so boundless and powerful that she could only feel despair.
The golden dragon crashed down, illuminating the world with light.
However, a black figure suddenly flashed before the Red Empress.
Light illuminated all matter, yet this speck of darkness was profound and completely unaffected. In fact, it appeared so salient that the billions of beings couldn’t help but notice it.
“A cook is rushing over to block me? You’re seeking death!” There was nothing but scorn and disdain in the Dragon Emperor’s eyes as he looked over. He roared as he mercilessly crashed down on An Lin, attempting to brutally crush him!
An Lin simply replied by extending a palm outward.
Boom!
His palm collided with the colossal golden dragon head.
An Lin wasn’t crushed into a pulp as everyone had expected.
However, the Dragon Emperor felt as if his head had been smashed into mush.
In fact, half of his head had sunken in under the overwhelming power of that palm strike!
At this moment, a black shockwave spread outward from the point of contact, engulfing and obliterating the surging and domineering power of light.
A dark halo suddenly materialized in the illuminated sky.
Everyone was stunned as they stared at the man in the sky.
“This…” Astonishment spread across the Cloud Maiden’s beautiful face as she said, “Why does this figure seem so familiar…?”
“Holy f*ck! Isn’t that Liu Dabao, the main drawcard who performed the cooking dance?” God of Dance Lun Yang could barely believe his eyes. He hadn’t imagined that this peculiar man could actually block the devastating attack of the Dragon Emperor with a single hand!
The other performers were just as stunned.
Ying Bao covered her dainty mouth with her hands in shock. Meanwhile, Gu Qiu couldn’t maintain her composure either.
She had initially thought that he was fleeing because he didn’t dare to face her. However, he was actually running away to battle against the Dragon Emperor?
The darkness continued to spread.
The Dragon Emperor howled in agony as he furiously retreated into the distance.
When the spectators were finally able to see him clearly, they were shocked to discover that a large chunk of his head had already gone missing. His body was covered in blood, and he appeared as pitiful as could be.
Meanwhile, An Lin was completely unscathed as he remained standing where he was.
“Who gave you this power?” An Lin gazed at the Dragon Emperor and asked calmly.
“Roar!” However, the Dragon Emperor didn’t answer An Lin’s question. Instead, he opened his mouth and spat a column of pure and domineering light at him.
An Lin extended a single finger and made a tapping motion at the column of light.
An unstoppable ray of darkness pierced through the column of light before shooting into the Dragon Emperor’s gaping mouth. This darkness then pierced through the Dragon Emperor’s head.
The Dragon Emperor’s bloodcurdling howls reverberated around heaven and earth.
At this moment, the Dragon Emperor’s body suddenly tremored as his tail swept toward An Lin with a force of hundreds of millions of pounds. The surrounding space was instantly contorted by this formidable power.
“You’re fairly resistant,” An Lin remarked as he made a grabbing motion at the void. The dragon tail was caught by him through the void just like that. He then made a slinging motion at the ground.
Just like that, the colossal golden dragon was slammed into the ground like a whip.
“Roar…” The Dragon Emperor howled in agony as he looked at the man who was still holding onto his tail. A look of despair flashed across his eyes for the first time.
“Are you going to answer me or not? If not, then I’ll let my darkness engulf you right away,” An Lin said calmly as he looked at the Dragon Emperor.
Within the Red Ink Tavern.
The chubby little dragon, Long Yecha, felt as if the entire world were collapsing as he watched his father who he viewed as invincible being viciously beaten by that man who he had once viewed as a chef. He started to go weak at the knees.
What would happen to him if this terrifying man sought to settle accounts in the future? The chubby little dragon felt his pants becoming wet as he thought about this.
At this moment, the Dragon Emperor started to wail in anguish again.
He discovered that his tail was being slowly engulfed by darkness. After being engulfed, even the bones of his tail vanished, not just the blood and flesh. This was comprehensive destruction. He was genuinely petrified by this harrowing power.
“I’ll answer! I’ll answer!” the Dragon Emperor shouted. “It was that woman who refers to herself as the Heavenly Light Goddess! She bestowed this power upon me, and she told me to conquer all of the other regions! Everything was planned by her!”
The beings of the Tai Chu Holy Land were all overcome with shock upon hearing this.
The beings in the second region were the most astonished by this.
They had witnessed the power of the Heavenly Light Goddess before, yet they had also witnessed her being completely obliterated by the devastating restriction of the Library of Heavenly Books.
However, not only had the Heavenly Light Goddess not died, but she was even manipulating a Regional Leader now? She had become a hidden mastermind?!
The beings in the second region could barely believe this.
However, they had witnessed the Dragon Emperor using that familiar power, so they had no option but to believe this. This was because everything could be explained, and everything made sense.
“Sure enough, this was planned by the Heavenly Light Goddess…
“She wasn’t acknowledged by the Library of Heavenly Books, so she tried to have the Dragon Emperor conquer all of the other regions. This way, she can then collect all of the Heavenly Books.”
After seeing the true Heavenly Book, An Lin realized that the Heavenly Books also displayed a sense of intimacy or hostility. The Heavenly Book he had obtained only acknowledged some of the special main drawcards of the Red Ink Tavern. Other than these few individuals, it would display a sense of hostility even if the Regional Leader were to forcefully give it to someone…
That being the case, what was the reason behind the Heavenly Light Goddess’ actions?
Perhaps she wanted to perform and become a main drawcard after conquering all of the regions? This could indeed save some time…
However, upon trying to imagine the Heavenly Light Goddess performing, An Lin couldn’t help but find it a bit of an eyesore. Was this something that a Supreme Heavenly God should do?
Where was their sense of shame?!
