Yangos unleashed a breath of dragon breath, not aimed at its opponent, but instead incinerated a group of parasites below, turning them into charred corpses.
Despite appearing frantic, Yangos was now clearer than ever about what it needed to do.
The current Yangos might still be cunning, evil, and ruthless, but it had shed its previous restlessness and unawareness.
Once, its ideal was to become a ninth-level life and the pinnacle of existence. It had never considered the possibility of seeking something more; rather, it longed for an unrestrained freedom.
But now, Yangos no longer thought that way. It was very satisfied with its current life.
There were now more than ten top lives at Cloud Summit, none of which were inferior to Yangos. Although the Evil Dragon believed it ranked third among them, oh no, fourth, after witnessing Mo Ye defeat Wang Hanran, it felt that Mo Ye was slightly stronger.
However, one undeniable fact remained: if Yangos were alone, Cloud Summit could hunt it down without deploying a battle team; just two top lives could easily strip its magic crystal away.
So Yangos was quite fortunate, resulting in it being much more obedient than before. It would resolutely complete the tasks assigned by Xia Lei.
In addition to its own reasons, Liu Zhenghong had also subtly communicated to the Evil Dragon that in the future, Cloud Summit would have countless top lives, and none would be irreplaceable. Especially after acquiring large beast pool equipment and Storm Glaze, the number of top battle beasts would exceed that of top evolvers. Those who disobeyed would be eliminated, becoming the 'meat pigs' contributing ninth-level magic crystals.
Yangos felt a chill upon hearing this. It thought that the Black-hearted Queen was indeed capable of such actions. In the future, if there were too many top battle beasts, and some key personnel at Cloud Summit needed ninth-level magic crystals, like Xia Bai, those disobedient beasts might truly be slaughtered.
Thus, the Evil Dragon became incredibly obedient, even reducing its instances of bullying male beasts or female beasts in the wild mountain forests.
This time, although Xia Lei did not give Yangos any explicit tasks, everyone understood that the main objective was to exterminate these parasites. The Evil Dragon kept this goal firmly in mind, not forgetting it even during battle.
Yangos was one of the best at area attacks among the ninth-level lives in Cloud Summit, and it felt it necessary to kill as many parasites as possible. On that basis, ensnaring the opponent in front of it would count as exceeding the objective.
The opponent, a flying monster, seemed to possess little capability but had an exceptional body and incredible speed. Yangos occasionally struck it with dragon breath, evidently enraging it. The monster executed a swift maneuver in mid-air, intending to dive down and attack Cloud Summit’s line below.
This left Yangos quite alarmed; if this creature succeeded, it could very well be slaughtered by the Black-hearted Queen.
The Evil Dragon was left with no choice but to pursue closely. Its body’s scales flushed red as though breathing fire, preparing to unleash its power.
The flying monster suddenly turned back, using their opposing velocities to pounce directly in front of the Evil Dragon, using claws and bites to launch a frenzied assault.
Yangos did not expect the creature to be so agile or to employ such tactics. It was too late to dodge and continue its previous hit-and-run plan. Now, the Evil Dragon faced two choices: one was to hold back its skills, saving energy without risking friendly fire but suffering some backlash; the other was to unleash its full power and endure the consequences alongside the opponent.
In that moment, Yangos chose the latter.
Even the Evil Dragon had its temper.
It recognized the opponent's strength lay in its body, but it was a member of the Dragon Race! Wasn’t its own body also something to be envied?
Then let them compete over whose body was tougher!
