Against Heaven's Will



The whole mountain trembled when Dragon Queen's body stomped on the ground and the leftover trees were blown away when her massive wings caught air. Dragons never stopped growing which meant the oldest Dragons were usually the strongest and biggest in size. 

Compared to the ten Elders, Dragon Queen was the oldest and the size of her maw was almost double of anyone present. That alone showed why she kept her crown for thousands of years and no one could take it away from her. 

"Ah, this is going to be fun," Xuefeng commented as he was finally free to use his strength and his Golden Wings burst out for the grand finale. "It's never good to anger the ladies!" 

Both Thunder Goddess and Dragon Queen caused chaos within the ranks of Elders who had no one to lead them. Xuefeng couldn't even join the main battle as he would get caught in the middle. 

Xuefeng naturally couldn't let them have all the fun and switched his targets. While the two beauties were on the full onslaught against the Red Dragon, Xuefeng launched himself between them and the other nine Elders who were yet to join the fray. 

"Damn you all!" the Red Dragon cursed while his body bled from all everywhere on his body. "What are you waiting for! Help me!" 

The Elders looked at each other in panic. They never intended to kill the Dragon Queen and instead tried to force her to submit so they were in a lost position. Only two of them decided to rush with immediate help but Xuefeng happened to stand in their way. 

"You are not going anyway," Xuefeng announced boldly as his Elemental Stones lit up. "Your opponent is me!" 

Bang!

As soon as he spoke, the world around the two Elders turned upside down. Air, Water and Lightning burst out from out of nowhere and struck them from all sides. Xuefeng momentarily locked them in his Three Elemental Domain and continued bombarding them with unlimited ammunition. 

If Xuefeng had time, he would bleed them to death but he couldn't let the other Elders gang up on the girls. He could only finish it as soon as possible and collect more Dragon Bloodline for himself. 

Seeing Xuefeng suddenly fly over with shiny Dragon Claws instead of his arms, the two Elders stopped resisting and pleaded instead, "Stop! We are surrendering! It was all that bastard's idea! We didn't have anything to do with it!" 

"You really think I care?" Xuefeng asked back with a laugh and he didn't stop his charge. "You two were meant to die anyway so save your breath." 

A sudden storm blasted the two Dragons from all sides and thick ice quickly restricted their movements. It only took a moment before they became ice statues with only their necks slightly exposed.

"Let's see how strong you two really are," Xuefeng commented to his Dragon Claws and finally landed on the Dragon's neck and cut straight into the flesh. He thought he would need at least a few swings to get into the flesh but their scales went flying with a single slash. 

'We need to get to the heart if you want the best Blood Essence so let's keep their bodies,' Ming reminded but Xuefeng already kept that in mind. 

Xuefeng's Dragon Claws were so sharp after his Dragon Bloodline gained purity and he ripped their flesh as if he was pulling out weeds. Blood streamed out each time but Xuefeng gladly bathed it in as Ming absorbed it all. 

Crack!

It only took Xuefeng a few moments to snap the Dragon Neck which killed the Elder on the spot. Ming was already prepared and sucked his whole body into Ling's space to finish the dirty job for him. 

"One more left," Xuefeng muttered and rushed to the second Elder while checking on the situation outside. He expected the Red Dragon to be already dead but he was surprisingly still alive. 

Instead of fighting back, the Red Dragon went on full defensive and began running away while hiding behind other Elders. Unfortunately, they all gave up on their dethroning plan and let the girls chase after him freely. 

"Look at those you unloyal bitches! They were cursing you before and now they act like they are innocent! They wanted you gone just as much as me!" The Red Dragon cried out each time he got hit by another Purple Lightning and finally coughed out blood. "Even if you kill me, you have to kill them too!" 

The Red Dragon seemed to realize he couldn't escape death so he decided to take as many lives with him as possible. "They betrayed you once, they will do it again! You will never be able to trust them!"

Dragon Queen seemed bored of his yapping and finally went for the kill. 

"Shut up bitch," Dragon Queen cursed and bit on Red Dragon's neck with full force. He was unable to evade in time and his neck was sent flying as she ripped it apart.

"I will take it from here," Xuefeng commented from afar as he was already done with his two targets and collected the third body. All he had left was to wait for Ming to extract all Pure Dragon Bloodline from them. 

Dragon Queen only glanced at his act and shifted her gaze onto the seven Elders who kept their distance. "Didn't you hear what I said? On the ground and on your knees! Bow down to your Queen!"

The Elders didn't hesitate for long before their bodies shrinked and they transformed back to their Half-dragon form. 

"Please spare us, Queen! We were blinded by his lies!" the Elders explained with guilty expressions but Dragon Queen didn't show mercy. 

"On your knees! Now!" Dragon Queen repeated and transformed back as well. The Elders had no choice but to bend on their knees as they landed next to the Sacred Altar. 

"You make me sick when I look at you," Dragon Queen spoke coldly as she stared daggers at the Elders. "I trusted you and you broke my trust. For what? How can I trust you again now?" 

The Elders didn't dare to face her and simply looked down ashamed. 

"And you? You make me upset the most," Dragon Queen continued while looking at the Eldest Elder. "You have been with me the longest and you also fell for his lies. I don't even have the words for you." 

"This is all my fault. I should have stopped him right away," the Eldest Elder admitted with guilt. 

"Yes, you should have but you didn't," Dragon Queen pointed out and grunted. "Ugh, kneel on the ground while I figure out what to do with you." 

Xuefeng was not too far away from her and watched everything unfold with Thunder Goddess in his arms. He could feel his body constantly changing as Ming strengthened his Dragon Bloodline but it seemed like it wasn't enough. 

'I think you might need one more to complete the Bloodline,' Ming was quick to correct him. 'If it's too little, maybe even two. I guess the best would be to kill the oldest one.' 

Xuefeng looked up at the seven Elders and let go of Thunder Goddess as he approached them. Dragon Queen noticed his presence but she only glanced at him with a troubled expression. 

"Let me help you," Xuefeng assured as he patted her on the shoulder and attacked before she could say anything. Even he was surprised how fast he had become as he looked down at his arm that pierced the Eldest Elder's chest. 

The Elder couldn't even react before his dead body slid off Xuefeng's arm while his heart remained in the killer's hand. 

"You… What did you just do…?"
