Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 334: For Your Majesty (149)

Dragon Raja 5

Chu Zihang let out a low growl, half-kneeling on the ground, blood splattering from his shoulder. It was Christina who had crept up stealthily along the ground, landing a successful blow. Lu Mingfei stepped forward to block Chu Zihang, engaging Christina in a fierce and relentless exchange of attacks.

Chu Zihang used the “Child’s Cut” sword as a support, suddenly rising to his feet and slipping between Lu Mingfei’s legs, unleashing a deadly slash from below. Faced with such a formidable enemy, he couldn’t care less about saving face. Christina was stabbed in the thigh, but her resilient white scales still managed to withstand the blade.

She groaned and staggered back, half-kneeling on the ground, clutching her thigh. Blood seeped from beneath the scales; the force of the blade had pierced through them, shattering her thigh bone. Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei were also too weak to pursue, kneeling and panting as well.

It’s become unclear who’s hunting whom; victory or defeat, life or death, hangs in the balance.

“A man-made hybrid is this strong? If it could be mass-produced, wouldn’t it destroy the academy in no time?” Lu Mingfei asked.

“It must have been an accident,” Finger replied, “but if the people conducting the experiment get their hands on this sample, they might be able to find a way to increase the success rate, so they have to take it whether they want to or not.”

“Mass-produced high-level hybrids are practically the gates of hell.” Lu Mingfei nodded. “Senior brother, let’s go.”

They must seize this rare opportunity. Right now, the mysterious golden holy elixir is surging within Christina’s body, and the fresh and fiery dragon blood should soon be able to set her broken bones. Then, the advantage they have finally gained will be gone.

Chu Zihang tossed a long sword to Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei tossed a short sword to Chu Zihang. Both men wielded swords in both hands, approaching Christina from both sides. Christina slowly retreated to the edge of the pier, stepping over the pool of blood and leaving a trail of deer-like footprints.

Chu Zihang stared intently at her feet; even if she activated her Netherworld Illumination now, she would still leave obvious footprints. Christina had nowhere to escape.

She kept looking back, her expression anxious, like a small animal cornered at the edge of a cliff, hesitating whether to jump. But how could she jump into that deep chasm? The black ancient dragon was instinctively licking the warm blood.

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a pang of pity. Even though he knew that she was now acting on animal instincts and was no longer the beautiful, brave investigator who was willing to sacrifice herself for justice, he couldn’t treat her as a monster when he saw her helpless and anxious appearance.

He gestured for Chu Zihang to stop, but he himself continued to walk forward slowly.

“Christina, do you remember me? I’m your friend,” Lu Mingfei said softly. “I, you, friend.” He tried to keep his words simple, not knowing how much language Christina still had left.

Christina tilted her head, sizing up the man who could whistle, who had just had a fierce battle with her, but who had suddenly become gentle, her eyes still wary.

“Stand there, don’t move, I won’t hurt you,” Lu Mingfei said again. “You, me, friend.”

He didn’t dare to completely disarm himself, but he opened his arms and left his chest completely exposed to reassure Christina.

“If you whistle at her, she will respond to the music,” Chu Zihang suddenly said.

Lu Mingfei’s eyes lit up. He didn’t know how to whistle before, but the group of people along the way would start whistling as they drank, so he learned it on the spot, and all the songs he learned were old Soviet songs.

He whistled on the Moscow outskirts of the city to get Christina’s attention. Christina loved to sing that song too, and every time she did, she would sang it in a rough, masculine voice.

Lu Mingfei’s whistling skills were newly learned, so he simply started singing and approached her while singing.

“The garden was quiet at night, and the leaves no longer rustled.”

“What a beautiful night! So enchanting, such a peaceful evening.”

It was a little awkward, almost like a confession, but Christina seemed to be listening intently, and as she listened, she started whistling along.

“She responds to music! She responds!” Lu Mingfei exclaimed with delight. “She’s not Deadpool yet!”

He dropped the knives in his hands, opened his arms, and continued singing, while Christina whistled intermittently, as if accompanying him.

The two finally faced each other. Just as Lu Mingfei was about to give Christina a hard bear hug to control her, Christina raised her hand and stabbed him in the heart. Lu Mingfei lowered his head, staring blankly at his chest. Blood gushed out like flowers blooming, and a slender white hand shattered two ribs, piercing into his chest.

The intense pain was like an implosion, making every cell in his body convulse. This was followed by numbness; his nervous system had temporarily shut down some functions due to the immense impact. He couldn’t feel the pain, but he could clearly sense that Christina’s claws had pierced his heart.

He knelt down helplessly, grabbing Christina’s wrist with his last bit of strength, but resistance was futile; Christina could tear his heart apart with the slightest movement.

The girl looked down at him coldly, her golden eyes cold and majestic, like a queen looking down at her condemned subject.

He made a fatal mistake. He believed that Christina’s mind was only temporarily controlled by the dragon’s blood, and that her past memories remained and had been awakened. But he overlooked another possibility: that Christina, reborn from her molted form, had directly obtained the dragon’s heart.

She reached the pinnacle of hybrid races without needing to undergo a bloodbath; she was neither confused nor bewildered, her heart filled with thoughts of brutality and conquest.

In desperation, Chu Zihang shot forward like an arrow, his Spider Cleaver swinging in a wide arc towards Christina’s nape. The strike was incredibly fierce; he had no time to bleed, and having lost his composure, Christina nimbly dodged, then grabbed the back of the blade. She launched a lightning-fast kick, striking Chu Zihang squarely in the abdomen; her feet were also equipped with sharp claws, their power and agility no less than her hands. At the last moment, he threw a short, curved blade in retaliation, leaning back simultaneously. Christina twisted her head to dodge, slightly deflecting her kick, preventing Chu Zihang from being disemboweled. He stumbled backward, clutching his abdominal wound, his long blade on the ground, slowly kneeling.

In an instant, the situation was completely reversed, and their previous idea of ​​capturing Christina now seemed arrogant and foolish.
