Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 382 - 49: Slaughtering Pigs and Dragons
The flame tide was frozen, and the ice crystals everywhere seemed like a dragon’s challenge to another dragon.
The Ash Dragon angrily looked at the Azure Dragon, which resembled a long serpent, while the Plaguebringer eyed the human standing in front of the demon fox.
The sudden arrival of the human and dragon clearly had an intent.
The ancient ape spoke in human language, "Who are you to dare disturb the sanctity of this holy place?"
"Aren’t you looking for the dragon and human who killed Shiling? Here we are," they said.
A faint red light flickered in the ancient ape’s eyes.
"A human, you really are just a human?"
As the ancient ape’s words fell, the Ash Dragon and Plaguebringer exchanged looks, surprise evident in both their eyes.
Tang Xian noticed this and followed their line of thought, saying, "Among the many beasts, you are the first to correctly identify my species. I am indeed just a human."
The ancient ape still had some disbelief.
Although the long-eared ancient ape was only an elite creature, it possessed high intelligence, understood the language of all beasts, and had been learning on the holy mountain since it was young.
They had read the complete Beast Codex.
It was similar to a historical text of a mining area.
Most importantly, they possessed the ability of the True Eye.
Years ago the power of Eden influenced nearly forty percent of the creatures in this world, granting them the ability to transform their bodies into human form upon reaching the purple or orange tiers.
And the long-eared ancient apes could directly see through these forms with the True Eye, revealing their true appearance.
Tang Xian had guessed as much.
The Dragon Eye of Tang Feiji had led to a misjudgment about himself at that time.
And given the current situation, it seemed that the ancient ape might be under the same misconception. Those red-lit eyes were probably akin to the Demon-Revealing Mirror, like the fiery golden pupils.
"Is he truly human?" echoed the voice of the Plaguebringer.
"Yes, my lord, my eyes show that his original form is human, not any known creature of Eden," replied the ancient ape.
The Plaguebringer and Ash Dragon both felt puzzled.
But if the other party was merely human, then the battle wasn’t expected to be much of a challenge.
But how could the Shiling Beast have been defeated by a human? Or was it that the Shiling Beast, along with the Court’s assassin squad, had all been defeated by that Azure Dragon?
The beasts of the Divine Court weren’t aware that Tang Xian could understand their language, nor did they realize the strangeness of another matter, that they could understand the words spoken by Tang Xian.
Tang Xian also played it safe, not starting the fight right away.
He was at a significant disadvantage in this battle. Although his words were elegant, today he was merely here to rescue Qing JiuYu. As for killing two cataclysm-level bosses in a row, that wasn’t very realistic for him.
The best start would have been if Qing JiuYu still had the strength to fight, making it a two-on-two with himself, which would give them a chance of winning.
But now it was the worst start. However, before rescuing Qing JiuYu, perhaps he could mislead the Court once.
"Interrupting the trial ceremony of the Court is a capital offense! Since you’ve admitted to the killing of the Shiling Beast, then accept the Court’s punishment as well!"

"Leave the dragon to me," declared the Plaguebringer.
The boar, shrouded in a massive black robe, suddenly charged towards Tang Feiji.
But the next second, a wall of flames appeared!
"This will be my chance to prove that the Red Dragons are the true kings of the Dragon Clan. Plaguebringer, don’t you dare get in my way!"
Tang Xian was amused. It seemed the Court was indeed as he had deduced, with most of the cataclysm-level boss creatures hardly getting along, even with companions.
"Tang Feiji, you’ll have to handle them both on your own for a while! Hold them off for a moment," Tang Xian said.
"No big deal, just a pig and a lizard!" retorted Tang Feiji.
The combined strength of the Plaguebringer and the Ash Dragon was undoubtedly greater than the Azure Dragon of the Sea.

But to Tang Feiji, all beings were nothing but lowly and despicable races. How could it view these two ugly foes as worthy opponents?
The dragon’s body coiled, and a cataclysmic battle unfolded instantly.
Panic-stricken, the ancient ape hurriedly ran towards the back of the great hall.
Tang Xian spoke to Qing JiuYu:
"Can you still transform into a human? I’m preparing to get you out of here."
Qing JiuYu, breathing weakly, nodded, and the massive body of the demon fox began to shrink, becoming delicate.
Only when she turned into a woman of stunning beauty did Tang Xian confirm that Qing JiuYu was seriously injured.
The usually enchanting and seductive fox spirit now had a pale complexion, and the powerful queen of the fox clan appeared soulless and unusually frail in front of Tang Xian for the first time.
Tang Xian carried Qing JiuYu on his back.
At the same time, he looked for an opportunity to retreat.
The great hall continued to shake. The magic dragon castle, built by the Zudun Giants, seemed ready to collapse at any moment.
The confrontation between the Ash Dragon and the Azure Dragon was like a clash of fire and ice.
The terrifying energy collision carried a seismic aftermath. Even though the two dragons had just begun a test of strength.
Ice and fire mingled, the currents of heat and cold making the temperature in the vast hall exceedingly strange.
It was like a volcano ready to erupt, surrounded by thick layers of snow.
Yet Tang Xian could still feel that Tang Feiji’s ice element was barely holding up.
Its extreme ice couldn’t cool the dragonflame unleashed by the Ash Dragon’s full-powered strike.
That flame, which could burn and melt everything, struck the ice wall. Even though Tang Feiji had spent hundreds of years in the deep sea, where the absolute cold greatly enhanced its ice abilities, facing the sovereign of flames proved to be a bit tough.
Especially the spewed venom, which made Tang Feiji’s battle exceedingly difficult.
So far, the venom hadn’t hit Tang Feiji, but upon falling to the ground, it didn’t disappear.
Instead, it vaporized rapidly.
Gradually, the battlefield of Tang Feiji and the Ash Dragon was shrouded in a stench and a dark green poison fog.
