Chapter 700 - 534: As a Son: I’ll Never Stand By and Watch Mom Get Beaten

"The Dragon Race?"

"The Crown Prince?!"

"..."

Every member of the Eastern District Fortress’s Guard Army was stunned by the Six-winged Archangel Tianzang’s words.

Because either one of those terms was terrifying enough on its own.

Worse still, the Six-winged Archangel Tianzang had fused them together and aimed them at Gao Neng.

’Gao Neng is the Crown Prince of the Dragon Race?!’

’How is that possible?’

’Gao Neng is obviously human.’

No one wanted to believe it, but the Xu Zilan before them was undeniably covered in Scale Armor. Moreover, her head now bore the legendary symbol of the Dragon Race.

There was no mistaking that pair of dragon horns.

"Hmph!" Xu Zilan snorted coldly. "Tianzang, eighteen years ago, you and a dozen other dogs ganged up on me while I was pregnant. Today, I will kill you!"

"Kill me? Hahaha... You’d be better off figuring out how to escape being hunted down by the humans! As members of the Dragon Race, the noblest of all races, you and your son have fallen so low as to hide within the Human Alliance and accept their protection. Now, just you watch and see if humanity will still bend to your will!" As he spoke, Tianzang attacked Xu Zilan again.

At that moment, the Six-winged Archangel Tianzang unleashed his truly formidable power.

His entire body blazed with a dazzling white light.

He looked like a burning sun, diving straight down from the heavens and stirring up a powerful gale.

But Xu Zilan held her ground.

Her eyes remained fixed on the white light in the sky. As it drew near, she shot out both her fists.

"BOOM!"

The white light exploded.

Myriad wings appeared once more.

Tianzang was clearly trying to force out Xu Zilan’s true power. Every move was a killing blow, a brutal, head-on assault.

The two figures intertwined in mid-air.

Their movements were as fast as lightning.

In the space of a few breaths, they had already clashed more than ten times.

"Hahaha, Dragon Maiden, still afraid to reveal your true form? You think you can beat me in your current state? You weren’t this weak eighteen years ago!" His wild laughter echoed again.

The two figures continued to clash.

A series of thunderous booms erupted across the sky.

"BOOM! BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

"..."

Everyone stared at the two combatants in the sky.

’So strong!’

’This is what a true member of the Strongest looks like!’

Both Xu Zilan and Tianzang possessed power that far surpassed others of their rank.

「Meanwhile, in the command center.」

Qin Jianfei, Wu Qingjing, and Shen Changsheng were all watching the world-shaking battle.

’The Fairy Dragon is a member of the Dragon Race?’ Qin Jianfei didn’t want to believe it either, but there was clearly something strange about Xu Zilan.

’Hiding her identity.’

’Never showing her face for eighteen years.’

’And most importantly, it seemed Xu Zilan hadn’t just hidden her identity, but her appearance as well.’

’A mother treating her own son with a false face for eighteen years?’

’Wasn’t there something wrong with that?’

"No, it has to be a lie! Gao Neng can’t be part of the Dragon Race. Tianzang is just trying to sow discord!" Wu Qingjing was clearly more willing to believe this conclusion.

’The alien races and humanity share an irreconcilable hatred.’

’Under these circumstances, how could anyone believe a word Tianzang said?’

But just then, someone burst through the door of the command center.

An old man.

His hair was graying.

Liangshan.

He was the old man rumored to have some connection to Zhu Ying, and also the most senior and eldest member of the Alliance Supreme Council.

"I could never figure out why the North District Alien Race would be so willing to fight alongside our Human Alliance. Now, I understand..." Liangshan said the moment he entered.

Then, another person walked in.

Guo Xin.

Also a member of the Supreme Council, she was seven years younger than Liangshan but was still among the most senior members.

"Elder Liang is right. The situation is urgent, and we cannot afford failure. If the Fairy Dragon, Bai Feixue, really is a member of the Dragon Race, or if Gao Neng is also... Well, what I mean is, even if it’s just a precaution, I recommend we activate ’Protocol Zero’ ahead of schedule!" After speaking, Guo Xin looked directly at Wu Qingjing.

Wu Qingjing was speechless.

’It seemed his worst fear was coming to pass.’

’He could believe in Gao Neng.’

’But would all the members of the Supreme Council, and all of humanity, believe him?’

"Elder Liang, Elder Guo, weren’t you two supposed to be making preparations outside? Why are you here at a time like this...?" Qin Jianfei, sensing Wu Qingjing’s anxiety, immediately spoke up.

"Preparations? Have you seen the situation out there?!" Liangshan retorted, pointing a finger directly at the screen.

On the screen.

Gao Neng was standing quietly, not far from the battle between Xu Zilan and Tianzang.

Although Gao Neng’s face showed no sign of struggle or pain, anyone could guess at his hesitation.

Yes, Gao Neng was clearly hesitating.

’What did that mean?’

’It meant that even if Gao Neng was unwilling to admit it, the facts before him were still causing him to waver.’

"Gao Neng, don’t believe Tianzang!" Just then, Qin Lei shouted. Despite being surrounded by five Tier Nine Four-winged Celestial Gods, he spared a moment’s focus for Gao Neng. "Trust me... the Fairy Dragon is definitely not a member of the Dragon Race! She just drank Dragon Blood in the Dragon Tomb!"

"Drank Dragon Blood? Hahaha..." In mid-air, the battling Tianzang laughed again. "There’s no such thing as Dragon Blood in this world! And as for the Dragon Tomb you mentioned, do you have any idea what that is? It’s the ’Ancient Land’ of the Dragon Race, passed down through the generations—a place only those of the Dragon Race may enter!"
