Chapter 233 Zhu Kun
What came into view was a purple-gold land, suspended in the dark void, boundless. Even if Xiao Yun injected his fighting spirit into his eyes, he could not see the end of the land...But Xiao Yun knew that the so-called purple-gold earth was just the part of the dragon body revealed by Zhu Kun!
"Damn, what did Zhu Kun eat to grow so big? Even the Ancient Sky Snake and the Sky-Swallowing Python can't compare to his size, right?"
Xiao Yun's throat rolled unconsciously and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Unlike Gu Yuan who hid his breath, in front of Zhu Kun, even though the latter was already asleep, the fear from the life level still inevitably lingered in Xiao Yun's heart.
Different from Xiao Yun's fear, Zi Yan at this moment was staring at the purple-gold ground below.
The little kid, who had recovered somewhat due to the change of space, fell into mixed emotions again.
"Let's go to the front..."
Noticing that something was wrong with Zi Yan, Xiao Yun sighed softly and then patted her shoulder.
They should now be only at the tail of the dragon's body, still a long distance away from the dragon's head and the ancient emperor's cave.
Zi Yan said nothing, her whole body seemed to have lost its soul, and she let Xiao Yun pull her forward.
The two of them followed the dragon's body and moved forward in the void space. After about a few minutes, they stopped.
In front of them was no longer an empty space, but a huge square. On the square, there was a stone gate that was tens of thousands of feet high!
The stone gate stands quietly in this vast space, and an ancient, wild atmosphere slowly spreads from it, rippling between heaven and earth.
Xiao Yun's gaze swept across the stone gate and finally stopped at the top of the stone gate, where there were four ancient characters!
"Ancient Emperor's Cave!"
"Is this the power of the Dou Emperor? Even if ten thousand years have passed, the breath left behind will..."
Xiao Yun was filled with emotion. The Dou Emperor, the top of the Douqi Continent, had extremely terrifying strength.
The relic left behind was able to trap Zhu Kun, a nine-star peak Douluo for thousands of years.
If the latter was not a demon beast with an extremely long lifespan, an ordinary top-level Douluo would have died of old age here long ago.
"Xiao Yun, he's here..." Zi Yan suddenly reached out and hugged Xiao Yun, buried her head in his arms, and said softly.
The next moment, as if in response to Zi Yan's words, two blood-red suns suddenly appeared in the dark space beneath their feet.
And with the appearance of the bloody sun, an extremely terrifying pressure directly enveloped Xiao Yun and the other two.
"Crench!"
Under this pressure, even though Xiao Yun's body was comparable to that of an eighth-level magical beast, his bones couldn't help but make teeth-grinding creaking sounds.
The originally straight waist slowly bent down.
On the other hand, Zi Yan in his arms was not affected at all, but her eyes became a little brighter, with purple-gold light shining in them.
"Roar!"
The Eight Desolations Destruction Flame in Xiao Yun's body also sensed the danger and wanted to leave the body.
As soon as the pitch-black flame emerged, it was pressed back into the body by the suffocating dragon power.
Guardian! Completely awake!
Two blood-red suns stared at Xiao Yun and the other person. A voice that was extremely indifferent, but could make the entire space tremble, rang out like thunder.
"Tomb intruders...can hold ancient jade?"
The person who was speaking seemed to have not spoken for a long time. His voice was intermittent, but full of oppression.
Xiao Yun looked at the bloody sun in the darkness, let out a light breath, and calmed the fear caused by his body's instinct.
"Senior! Look who this is!"
After he finished speaking, Xiao Yun lifted Zi Yan in his arms and spoke loudly.
But unfortunately, Zhu Kun seemed to have stayed here for too long, and even the dragon brain had rusted. For a moment, he was unable to recognize the blood in Zi Yan's body.
"Don't you have any ancient jade? Then stay and accompany me..."
The indifferent voice resounded in this space once again, and then an extremely huge dragon claw suddenly stretched out from the dark space below.
The dragon claw swept across, shattered the void, and slapped Xiao Yun and the other two hard.
"Damn it, Zhu Kun, you're crazy!"
Seeing Zhu Kun launching an attack without saying a word, Xiao Yun's face changed drastically. He wanted to dodge, but his body was enveloped by the dragon's might, as if he was stuck in a quagmire, unable to move.
"Zhu Kun..."
Hearing this somewhat familiar name, the originally indifferent and ruthless Blood Sun gradually gathered its spirit, and its dragon claws suddenly stopped less than a hundred feet away from Xiao Yun and the others.
"Zhu Kun...I haven't heard this name for a long time..."
The blood sun opened and closed, and then, these eyes, which were big enough to accommodate mountains, burst out with endless purple-gold light.
The dragon's body, which was so huge that it had no boundaries, also began to swim slowly, causing the void to tremble, as if it would collapse in the next moment.
The purple-gold light quickly occupied the two people's sight. As the distance shortened, Zhu Kun's huge dragon head stopped a hundred feet away from Xiao Yun and the others.
From a distance, Xiao Yun and the other man were so small in front of the dragon head that they could almost be ignored.
A strong gust of wind came, it was just the airflow generated by the dragon's breathing, but it was enough to be compared to a storm.
"Where... have you heard this name before..."
The purple-gold vertical pupils turned slightly, and his sight was locked on Xiao Yun and the other two. However, the next moment, the indifferent voice stopped abruptly.
"Child...child!"
The voice was trembling, and Zhu Kun's originally majestic purple-gold eyes softened almost instantly.
As if he had found hope, his heart, which had been silent for countless years, began to beat violently again.
His eyes were fixed on Zi Yan in Xiao Yun's arms. The next moment, a burst of purple-gold light suddenly burst out from Zhu Kun's boundless and huge dragon body.
The light was so bright that it actually illuminated the dark and empty space.
After a few breaths, the purple-gold dragon turned into a middle-aged man with purple-gold hair.
The man's face was strong and resolute, and his pair of golden eyes were extremely majestic. Even though it was the first time they met, Xiao Yun could feel the majestic aura of a superior from the former.
The Dragon King of the Ancient Taixu Dragon Clan! Zhu Kun! The real top figure of the continent! His fighting spirit and body have reached the peak level of Dou Sheng at the same time! He is only one step away from Dou Emperor.
His cultivation is equal to that of Emperor Hun Tian and Gu Yuan, but relying on Taixu's ancient physical body, his strength is probably even higher than theirs!
Most importantly! He is also a top daughter slave!
Looking at Zhu Kun in front of him, some information about the other party flashed through Xiao Yun's mind.
When it comes to the toughest guys, it has to be Zhu Kun!
If the former could get out, at Zi Yan's command, he would probably rush directly into the Soul Realm and fight with the Soul Emperor for three hundred rounds.
Instead, he would not be like Gu Yuan, who looked ahead and behind and took the overall situation into consideration.
Xiao Yun just looked at Zhu Kun, sizing up one of the strongest men on the continent, but he was not angry at all. Instead, his eyes were only on Zi Yan who was hugging Xiao Yun tightly.
"My child, you really look like your mother..."
Zhu Kun's gaze stayed on Zi Yan's somewhat stubborn and aggrieved little face. After a long time, he sighed and spoke softly.
"I...I don't have a mother or a father! I'm an orphan! I was born alone!"
Zi Yan looked into the other person's eyes, tears unconsciously running down her face. Her voice was extremely cold, but her words made people feel a little sad.
"I don't have any parents! Xiaoyun is my relative!"
Father... How she wished this character would appear by her side when she was living alone in the Black Horn Region and fighting and fleeing for a bite of food...
After she finished speaking, Zi Yan stopped looking at him, turned her head away and buried it in Xiao Yun's arms.
This small action brought a huge critical blow to Zhu Kun.
For a moment, it was as if he saw his daughter, whom he had raised with so much difficulty and whom he cherished so dearly, being abducted by a young man.
With endless murderous intent boiling up in his chest, the old father stared at Xiao Yun fiercely, wanting to cut him into pieces.
"No... What does this have to do with me? I worked so hard to raise your daughter, and now I'm a nobody?"
Sometimes, silence can really surpass fear...
For example, now, Xiao Yun looked at Zhu Kun in front of him speechlessly. He originally wanted to help comfort Zi Yan so that they could have a tear-jerking scene of father and daughter reunion.
Now it’s okay, I’m tired, let’s destroy it all!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yun rubbed Zi Yan's little head again under Zhu Kun's murderous gaze.
Such an intimate action made Zhu Kun unable to bear the anger in his heart any longer.
However, there was a figure that moved even faster than him.
Zi Yan suddenly turned around, her eyes blurred with tears, but her hands were stretched out stubbornly, and she used her small body to protect Xiao Yun behind her.
"Go ahead! You just wanted to kill us anyway!"
Hearing this, the endless killing intent dissipated, and at the same time, the old father's heart was quietly broken...
Zhu Kun clenched his fists, veins bulged, his chest heaved violently, and endless anger burned in it.
However, this anger was not directed at Xiao Yun, but at the huge stone gate behind him.
"Tuoshegudi! Get out here! You deserve to die! You made me…"
"Bang bang bang!"
After a roar, Zhu Kun turned around and rushed towards the tightly closed ancient emperor's cave, swinging his sandbag-sized fists continuously and smashing on the huge stone door.
Seeing his daughter being abducted by 'Huangmao', the old father could not hit or scold 'Huangmao'.
Zhu Kun must now find something to vent his anger, otherwise he might die of rage.
Every punch contained endless rage, and the energy of the void space gathered on the iron fist.
However, this attack, which was enough to seriously injure a high-level Douluo, could not do anything to the stone gate. A layer of ancient patterns appeared on the surface of the stone gate, absorbing all the energy and remaining motionless.
Just as Zhu Kun was trying desperately to vent his anger, Zi Yan, who was in Xiao Yun's arms, stared blankly at his back.
"Xiao Yun, tell me, should I recognize him?"
After a while, Zi Yan raised her head, looked at Xiao Yun, and said softly: "He abandoned me up there alone. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have become food for other monsters..."
Although the sound was small, Xiao Yun and Zhu Kun who was far away heard it clearly, especially the latter, who even pricked up his ears and was very nervous.
From what happened just now, he has already seen what kind of position this so-called Xiaoyun occupies in his daughter's heart.
Reaching out to wipe the tears from Zi Yan's face, Xiao Yun sighed softly.
"Whatever you think in your heart, just do it. No matter what decision you make, I support you..."
Hearing this, Zhu Kun's heart, which had been so hot just now, suddenly cooled down a lot. Just when he thought there was no hope, Xiao Yun changed the subject.
"However, parents all over the world are pitiful. Look at him staying here alone, in the dark and lonely, even his brain has become a little crazy.
I guess he hasn't had a good life these years, and maybe he had his own unspeakable secrets..."
He gently patted Zi Yan's back. Knowing the whole story, he felt that Zhu Kun had done nothing wrong.
After all, the latter would not know that Emperor Tushe was so sinister that he left behind the ruins and forcibly recruited a gatekeeper.
In order to prevent Zi Yan from staying in this dark space like him, Zhu Kun risked his life to send her out of the magma world.
Zi Yan nodded silently without saying anything, her eyes were unfocused, as if she was thinking.
Zhu Kun, who was far away, was gradually filled with joy, and didn't even care about Xiao Yun's scolding.
"How pitiful are the parents in the world! What this kid said is really nice! Not bad, not bad..."
After venting his anger, Zhu Kun continued to pretend to knock on the stone door a few times, then stopped, and with a flash, he appeared in front of Xiao Yun and the others again.
"You stay away from me!"
Seeing him appear, Zi Yan immediately came back to her senses and buried her head in Xiao Yun's arms again. Although her voice was still indifferent, it was slightly better than before.
"My bad, I'll stay away!"
Zhu Kun nodded quickly and instantly retreated a hundred feet away.
I'll write two more chapters tonight.
