"Nice move!" Lin Jin's heart skipped a beat. Just as the dragon was about to grab Xiao Huo, Lin Jin flicked his needles.
This time, all the coiled wire needles Lin Jin had refined flew out. Half of them pierced the dragon's claw while the other half pierced the old dragon's body.
The needle technique was strange and difficult to master. However, the old dragon had a high cultivation level. He opened his mouth and a gust of cold wind blew away most of the flying needles. However, some of them managed to pierce into the old dragon's acupoints.
The terrifying thing about the coiled wire needles was their sheer number. Lin Jin had refined over a hundred of them so no matter how strong and powerful the dragon was, it couldn't possibly fend them all off.
After the coiled wire needles pierced through the old dragon's body, Lin Jin immediately saw the old dragon's condition in the museum.
"Holy sh * t!" Lin Jin was startled to see the old dragon's condition in the museum.
Inside the museum, an emerald green dragon hovered in the air. It was a real dragon, at least three hundred feet long. Its whiskers fluttered in the wind, making it look majestic.
Looking at the attributes, they were also quite amazing.
"Jade Dragon, Rank 5 monster. Dual attributes of water and wind. Primary deity. Worshipped by worshippers. Lifespan: 420 years!"
"Status: Weak, afflicted with illness, missing dragon soul."
"There are three treatment methods, namely …"
"Proficient in wind, rain, and frost. Shapeshifting, Nine Dragon Transformations!"
"…"
Lin Jin gaped. This was indeed a Rank 5 monster. However, it was different from the average monster. This was a monster that had been worshipped by worshippers. It wouldn't be wrong to call it a deity.
Looking at the dragon deity's current state, Lin Jin finally understood why it was clinging to He Yu. Having lived for more than four hundred years, the old dragon was in a terrible state. Leaving aside the weakness and afflicted with illness, the loss of its dragon soul was quite severe. Based on the museum's explanation, the dragon must have used some kind of spell to store a part of its dragon soul somewhere to nourish its body and prolong its life.
If he wasn't mistaken, the bestial soul curse within Sixth Princess He Yu was a part of this dragon deity's dragon soul.
Lin Jin didn't know the specific spell so he could only learn a little from the museum's explanation. But in general, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
No wonder the old dragon wanted to get involved in this matter. It turned out that it was closely related to his life.
According to He Qing, four generations of Jade Dragon Clan royalty had died to this bestial soul curse. Based on this fact alone, this old dragon had committed a grave sin.
Lin Jin's thought only lasted for a split second. When the old dragon felt the needles piercing his body, he was startled. Knowing that this was Lin Jin's supernatural ability, he let out a dragon's roar as his muscles tensed up.
One could vaguely see dragon scales on his skin.
Not only that, but a tyrannical inner strength surged, and in the blink of an eye, the silver needles that had been pierced into his body were all forced out.
Good move.
Lin Jin's coiled wire needle suffered a great loss as well. But against an enemy of this level, such losses were normal.
What he did earlier had forced the dragon claw back and freed Xiao Huo. They were evenly matched, but Lin Jin knew full well that his side was at a disadvantage.
There was only one opponent, and he had almost caught Xiao Huo just now. Once Xiao Huo, a Rank 4 beast, was controlled, there was no way to fight. There was no chance of winning at all.
At that moment, White Ape expanded in size and pounced forward.
Lin Jin exhaled and invoked a spell. Like white silk, a gust of wind flew out and wrapped around White Ape.
This was Wind Blast, a spell that could enhance a pet beast's speed.
White Ape had always been brave, but now, he was even faster. He swung his fists with the force of ten thousand catties.
However, the old dragon smiled and reached out with one hand, catching the white ape's attack with ease. Then, with a sudden push, the white ape was pushed back. The white ape's body was huge, and half of the courtyard was destroyed by the push.
Lin Jin couldn't care less now. His life was on the line with this old dragon. His opponent clearly didn't have any good intentions, so Lin Jin could only try his best.
"Fire Spirit Possession!"
Lin Jin used everything he had, casting Fire Spirit Possession on Xiao Huo.
In an instant, the flames on Xiao Huo's body flared up and he pounced forward, burning everything in his path. In fact, the moment Fire Spirit Possession was cast, Lin Jin's house was burned to the ground.
Now, Lin Jin was sure that the old dragon had sealed off the area with a spell. Otherwise, just one Fire Spirit Possession was enough to shake the entire royal capital.
With Xiao Huo joining the fray, the old dragon was clearly struggling.
However, he was still a Rank 5. Despite his weakened state, his strength was still there. Even with Xiao Huo and White Ape giving it their all, they could only barely defend themselves.
It seemed like even after some time, they still wouldn't be the old dragon's match.
Despite his anxiety, Lin Jin remained calm on the surface.
Who would have thought that he would encounter something like this on his third day in the Royal City? The old dragon was clearly using his cultivation to kill him silently.
The situation was dire.
Even though the old guy said he wanted to force the expert behind Lin Jin to show himself, he had sealed off the area. This might be a test.
If this seal was broken, the old dragon would gain an understanding of the enemy's cultivation level. If it couldn't be broken, Lin Jin would be in grave danger today.
Clearly, the old dragon had a thorough understanding of Lin Jin's situation. From what he said earlier, the old dragon knew that there was an imaginary expert behind Lin Jin.
However, Lin Jin knew very well that the expert behind him was just a figment of his imagination. It was impossible to hope for anyone to come and save him now.
No one would come and save him. No one could save him.
In this royal capital, even Lu Bin wasn't that powerful. Moreover, Lu Bin couldn't possibly come and save him now. He couldn't count on anyone else either.
Even if they did come, they wouldn't be of any use.
After all, he was facing a Rank 5 monster with divine powers. According to the Museum of Deadly Beasts, monsters with divine powers of incense were even more difficult to deal with.
Hence, Lin Jin had no way out.
Behind him was a bottomless abyss.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew and frost flew everywhere.
Lin Jin quickly looked over and realized that it was the old dragon casting a spell. In an instant, the temperature in the already dilapidated courtyard changed. The surroundings that had been roasted by Xiao Huo's flames took a 180-degree turn and in the blink of an eye, it started snowing heavily.
It was Lin Jin's first time encountering a spell like this.
A cold gust of wind blew and snow covered the sky. Lin Jin felt a chill run down his spine. It was as if his bones were freezing and his limbs were going numb.
Knowing that the situation was dire, Lin Jin quickly bit the tip of his tongue to rouse himself. In terms of spells, he was too weak compared to the old dragon. Xiao Huo and White Ape could only barely hold on. Lin Jin was clearly losing.
However, it was impossible for Lin Jin to just wait for his death.
"Blood contract fifth realm!"
At this critical juncture, Lin Jin felt a layer of the seal within him being broken. In this moment of life and death, he broke through to the fifth realm.
