It has only been a few seconds into the exchange when Xuefeng realized his chances of winning were slim. All his strength relied on abilities that used Qi and he never really practiced fighting using only his Bloodline. Even when he used his Elvish Bloodline Art, that was barely enough to stop Dragon Queen.
"You think you can stop ?" Dragon Queen questioned with an amused smile as her movents slowed down. "Nice try hubby."
Dragon Queen's body tensed and she tried to forcibly break the restriction on her body. Xuefeng imdiately felt a strong headache that intensified with each second so he acted quickly. His Dragon Edge cut straight at Dragon Queen's joints and blood burst out in small streams.
Unfortunately, that was Xuefeng's first mistake. He didn't plan to kill Dragon Queen and simply aid to immobilize her but that allowed her to co back. As soon as he lifted his Elvish Bloodline Art, the black Earth Fla burned across all her wounds and healed them in a blink of an eye.
"You make feel bad when you are being so nice to …" Dragon Queen comnted while her Earth Fla lit up her nails. "You could hurt if you aid for my neck but you decided to spare . I start to like you more and more with each minute."
"If you like that much then let's stop this," Xuefeng proposed but Dragon Queen shook her head.
"If I stop, you will leave and I will never see you again," Dragon Queen pointed out. "Who knows, maybe you might even try to steal the Earth Fla for yourself and I can't let that happen."
"How are you able to use the Earth Fla inside the Sacred Altar?" Xuefeng wondered as he backed towards the crimson barrier. "Isn't it made of Qi? Why isn't it sucked by the Ancient Spirit."
Xuefeng didn't even try to use the Elental Bracelet to control the Earth Fla. Unless he possessed an equally powerful or a stronger fla, Dragon Queen's Earth Fla wouldn't react to his calls.
"That's cause the Ancient Spirit would be burned if he tried to neutralize the Earth Fla," Dragon Queen replied as she slowly walked closed. "Please, don't make use it on you. I don't want to hurt you either so you should surrender yourself to now."
It seed like his actions softened Dragon Queen's approach but Xuefeng still wasn't keen on becoming her slave for the rest of his life. Even though Thunder Goddess was bound to him, he would release her after he was sure of her feelings.
What was the point of getting a Bloodline if he had to give it up to get rid of the Blood Pact?
"I think I will have to decline your offer," Xuefeng responded calmly and suddenly smashed his sword at the barrier. The barrier vibrated from the impact but Xuefeng didn't even leave a mark.
"You can't get out of the Sacred Altar," Dragon Queen inford. "Stop resisting and co to my side. You can get a perfect Dragon Bloodline and an Earth Fla just like . All I want is your loyalty."
Xuefeng ignored her as he tried hitting different spots and even struck the stone floor to check if he could break out but all his tries ended up in a failure. Unless he wanted to kill Dragon Queen, he was only left with a single option.
"I guess you are leaving with no choice," Xuefeng comnted as he decided to bring out the Cube. He was about to alert Ming and Ling to get ready when Dragon Queen's expression changed.
"Hmm?" Xuefeng followed Dragon Queen's gaze and was surprised to see ten massive Dragons fly straight towards the Sacred Altar. He imdiately gazed at Thunder Goddess who was left outside all alone and didn't like where this was going.
"It seems like your plan has failed," Xuefeng pointed out as a sudden idea awakened in his mind. "You want to bend to your conditions when you can't even keep your terms anymore. How do you plan to kill the three Elders if they are all together here? Do you expect the rest to just stand by and watch?"
Dragon Queen's face darkened as she squinted her eyes. "That doesn't matter. They are probably here because they heard the rumors. We can always kill the three troublemakers later according to the plan. We are still signing the Blood Pact now."
Although Thunder Goddess was in possible danger, Xuefeng couldn't let go of this sudden opportunity. He believed she could always run away if the Elders attacked her.
"Doesn't matter? It doesn't look like they are happy," Xuefeng comnted just before the leading Red Dragon roared loudly while bursting flas from his maw.
Thud!
The Red Dragon caused the mountain to shake when he landed and the Sacred Altar wasn't immune. He glared at the Crimson Barrier before he turned to the other nine Elders and cursed, "I fucking knew it! I told you that whore was fucking with that stranger! Now she is recruiting him like nothing happened and I wouldn't be surprised if she picked him as her next King."
Dragon Queen was montarily stunned before her Earth Flas exploded all over her body. "That bastard! I should have killed him myself!"
The Red Dragon couldn't see what was going on inside the Sacred Altar and cried out, "The Era of the Dragon Queen's ruling is over. I am voting for removing her from the throne and replacing her with the eldest Elder!"
All Elders were taken aback by the sudden vote and but looking at the eldest Elder, they didn't seem against the idea. The youngest Elder probably knew he wouldn't be picked if he nominated himself so he chose the most respected Elder.
"I support the candidate!"
"I support too!"
"I am looking forward to this change!"
One by one all Elders pledged their support until it was only the candidate himself that didn't speak.
"He is not going to betray ," Dragon Queen muttered with confidence but Red Dragon was good at tempting.
"Don't worry about the Dragon Queen," Red Dragon assured. "Once we dethrone her, you can take her as your concubine. We all know you loved her the most."
That final suggestion swayed the eldest Elder and he finally nodded. "Alright. I agree."
Dragon Queen shivered all over when she realized how little support she had and Xuefeng didn't hesitate to strike while the iron was hot. "We are scrapping the agreent. Now that it ca down to this, you have to trust or you will lose your position as a Dragon Queen. I'm the only one who can help you."
