The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 68

The meaning behind the golden dragon's words was clear: he wanted to test her. The entity within her body had long warned her that the inheritance here belonged to a temperamental golden dragon who had been close to ascending before its petrification.

The power of such a being was obvious.

To make matters worse, he despised humans.

Ruan Li felt tense. She was self-aware enough to know that even if this golden dragon was merely a remnant soul, she was no match for him now.

She glanced at Luo Qingci with a heavy heart. With Chi Qing's strength, there was no need to confront the golden dragon directly. Chi Qing must have sensed the dragon's intentions and had likely exhausted some of its energy on her behalf.

The golden dragon had indeed been injured by Chi Qing, as evidenced by its transparent form. This meant the remnant soul would harbor even deeper hostility towards her. If she couldn't satisfy it and obtain the inheritance, Chi Qing would be in danger.

Thinking of this, her fighting spirit surged. She had just used the reverse scale to save Chi Qing and would not allow him to be harmed by this creature. She was prepared to fight to the death.

The three-foot-long young dragon seemed insignificant under the shadow of the golden dragon, almost laughable from afar. However, for the golden dragon, its gaze was increasingly appreciative.

Despite the embarrassment of showing favor to a human, the sight of this little dragon was very pleasing to him.

Moreover, this rare golden dragon, though with some flaws and impure bloodline, intrigued him. As he pondered, he wrinkled his brow slightly in distaste.

Before he could think much further, Ruan Li took the initiative, spiraling straight towards him.

Her small figure was as swift as the wind. The dim cave was illuminated only by the flickering dragon flames outside, casting intermittent shadows of the red-golden little dragon.

The cave space was cramped, barely accommodating the giant golden dragon, while Ruan Li maneuvered with ease, darting around and under the dragon's head with impressive agility.

The golden dragon used all four claws but couldn't touch her, his interest growing stronger.

To Ruan Li, this interest seemed like provocation and disdain. Her expression turned cold as she hovered in mid-air, staring intently at the golden dragon. As soon as she stopped, the dragon turned and lunged at her.

As the dragon's giant claws reached for her, she teleported and clung to the cave's ceiling with her tail.

Upon reaching the top, Ruan Li immediately moved towards the dragon's tail.

As the golden dragon arched its body towards the cave ceiling, she took the opportunity to circle to its belly and unleashed a burst of dragon flame.

The dragon flame was scorching, and the golden dragon immediately felt a searing pain. It quickly raised its scales and released a surge of spiritual energy.

Though Ruan Li's dragon flame was impressive, it was insignificant compared to an ancient deity. The flames were quickly dissipated.

The golden dragon snorted, his eyes glowing red, no longer willing to play around.

But that amusement vanished when Ruan Li, overcoming the barrier of spiritual energy, spat out several ice blades that shot straight under the dragon's raised scales.

By the time the dragon realized the threat and tried to defend, several wounds had already been inflicted. Worse, the places Ruan Li attacked were precisely where Chi Qing had injured the dragon, causing its illusion to flicker.
