Chapter 128 Lu Mingfei: Old Tang!
In fact, Lu Mingfei was not truly fearless in his pursuit of slaying the dragon.
He also lacked Angers' lofty ideal of sacrificing everything for the dragon slaying.
Even with his immense strength, Lu Mingfei is still a weak little rabbit at heart.
The lion deep within his eyes can only be triggered at specific times and under specific events.
Perhaps he initially had the ambition to slay the dragon, but upon seeing the terrifying sight of the dragon constantly breathing fire, he couldn't help but have second thoughts.
Slaying the dragon can wait until next time. As long as we can safely retreat with Senior Sister Nuonuo, that's a victory.
This was Lu Mingfei's original plan, but a fleeting glimpse not long ago made him change his mind.
After rescuing Nuonuo and ensuring her safety, he still resolutely plunged back into the perilous river.
Not long ago, Dragon King Norton's beam of fire pierced a huge hole in the river.
Through the hole, Lu Mingfei saw a familiar face.
Even though he had changed a lot compared to before, Lu Mingfei still recognized him at a glance.
Because they were one of his few friends.
"Old Tang!!!"
In the pitch-black depths, Lu Mingfei and Dragon King Norton faced each other across a hundred meters, and Lu Mingfei couldn't help but shout out loud.
"It really is you, Old Tang, you, you, you—what happened to you? Why did you become like this?!"
Looking at Old Tang, who had merged with the Dragon Servant, and at his lava-like golden eyes, Lu Mingfei was shocked and couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.
Chat group.
[Xiao Yan: Holy crap, it really is Xiao Lu's friend, the mercenary number 13 who invaded the academy before.]
[Wang Xuan: I see, I see. Now everything makes sense.]
[Luo Feng: Xiao Lu's friend, Lao Tang, is Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, and also Constantine's brother.]
[Wang Xuan: The brother that Dragon King Constantine was chasing after wasn't Xiao Lu, but Lao Tang.]
[Xiao Yan: Seriously, are the dragons in Xiao Lu's world this weak? They're completely different from the dragons I imagined.]
[Luo Feng: That was probably not the true form of the King of Bronze and Fire, but more like a temporary fusion.]
[Wang Xuan: Norton probably anticipated human action, so he did the opposite and did not create a dragon body.]
The group members explained the cause and effect clearly in just a few words.
[Lu Mingfei: Brothers, more than the reason, I want to know what I should do next?]
[Qin Feng (Group Owner): That depends on your own choice. If you want to slay the dragon, the bronze ruins below have the weapons you need.]
[Lu Mingfei: No dragon slaying, no dragon slaying, that's Old Tang, he's my buddy.]
Lu Mingfei shook his head vigorously without hesitation.
[Wang Xuan: You treat him like a buddy, but I think he sees you as his only source of sustenance.]
[Lu Mingfei: Help! What do I need to do to make Lao Tang become a normal person?]
[Qin Feng (Group Owner): Turning him into a normal person is out of the question, because he was originally the Dragon King. However—it's not impossible to restore his sanity.]
[Lu Mingfei: What should I do?]
[Xiao Yan: Simple. Use love to influence him, and tell him some stories from your past.]
[Lu Mingfei: Will this... work?]
Regardless of whether it would work or not, Lu Mingfei still wanted to give it a try.
Deep within the river, where it is pitch black, undercurrents surge.
Dragon King Norton moved, his massive body like a cannonball, moving faster than a shark in the water, his sharp claws leaving clear claw marks in the water.
Norton, who had merged with the Dragon Servant, was fast, but Lu Mingfei was even faster. With the Black God Set as an aid, Lu Mingfei's overall abilities reached a new level.
Faced with the Dragon King's charge, Lu Mingfei easily dodged and instead grabbed the dragon's back.
Dragon King Norton sensed something was wrong and frantically shook his dragon body, trying to throw Lu Mingfei off.
However, at this moment, Lu Mingfei became like a stubborn plaster, clinging on relentlessly.
"Old Tang! It's me!" Lu Mingfei shouted to the Dragon King. "It's me, Mingming. I met you not long ago."
The Dragon King Norton turned his head, his furious golden eyes glaring at him as if he wanted to swallow him whole.
"Old Tang—what happened to you? You—" Lu Mingfei really didn't know what to say to persuade the dragon, so he ended up rambling incoherently, "Look at you, you're not even wearing any clothes."
Norton seemed to grow even angrier. With a whoosh, the long, thin dragon tail suddenly reversed, wrapped around Lu Mingfei's neck, and brought him close to the Dragon King.
Because of the protection of the Black God Suit, Lu Mingfei did not feel suffocated no matter how tightly the dragon tail tightened.
Listening to Lu Mingfei's rambling, Norton felt a splitting headache and immediately began to chant an ancient incantation, intending to unleash a powerful attack.
[Xiao Yan: Hey, hey, hey, things seem to be going badly.]
[Wang Xuan: Sometimes words fail, so fists are used.]
Wang Xuan's words inspired Lu Mingfei.
As a seasoned anime fan, Lu Mingfei instantly recalled many famous scenes.
"Old Tang, even I get angry sometimes. Take this personality-correcting punch!!!"
Ora ora ora!
Lu Mingfei tore through the dragon's tail restraints with overwhelming force, and then unleashed a series of Ora punches.
His punches were so fast that countless afterimages of his fists appeared in the water.
Norton, who was still chanting a powerful fire-based incantation, was clearly not prepared for this situation and was stunned on the spot.
The spellcasting was interrupted, and the main body's head was knocked askew.
"Old Tang, have you forgotten? You promised me that when we go to the beautiful country, you'd take me on a Greyhound tour, and you said there would be plenty of hot dogs—I'd listen to you sing those awful songs, and if we saw any interesting places, we'd get off and explore—"
Lu Mingfei threw punches without holding back while muttering to himself.
"It hurts so much! Mingming, stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!" A familiar voice came from behind.
"Old Tang, you're awake?" Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up.
The next second, his neck was grabbed again.
"I am not Old Tang, I am Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire."
The personality belonging to Dragon King Norton once again took the initiative, his molten gold eyes flashing with unparalleled rage.
"Despicable humans, how dare you—how dare you kill Constantine! You will never forgive me—you will never forgive me! I will plunge this world into flames!"
"Wait—wait, Old Tang, Constantine, your brother isn't dead. We didn't kill him." Lu Mingfei finally understood the crux of Old Tang's problem.
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King Norton's furious expression froze, and the force in his hand also slowed down.
"You're saying Constantine is still alive?"
Norton glared fiercely at Lu Mingfei. He had witnessed his brother disappear without a trace that day and assumed he had been killed. However, "Of course it's true. Your brother is still alive and well. I'll prove it to you right away." Lu Mingfei scrolled through the chat group, found the Dragon King's red envelope from back then, and clicked to claim it.
The next second, a burst of light appeared, and a curled-up human figure materialized out of thin air—it was the sleeping Dragon King.
Constantine!!!
