Chapter 215: Is that a dragon?
Haru gulped upon hearing what the demon said. He was looking for a man named Luo Yang which was his alias that he used when he went to the soul tempering grounds. If this man was looking for him then that meant that they had managed to track him back to earth somehow.
Haru looked at Lao who was staring at the demon with anger. There was a look in his eyes that Haru had never seen before. It was as if he was going to rip the demon's limbs from his body and burn them all while he watched in pain.
"Luo Yang? I have never heard of him but we can definitely help you look for him." Major Niu said with a sigh of relief. It didn't look like the demon was here to cause harm just as long as she could find the man that he was looking for. Little did she know that she was standing right next to him.
"That man there. He's been looking at me with hostility the whole time. Did you think I wouldn't notice? Do you want to fight me?" The demon cracked a smirk as he spoke and looked over at Lao.
The corners of Lao's lips twitched slightly like he was struggling to decide whether he should or not. It wasn't his decision to make after all. He wanted to let Haru decide what to do.
"What do you want to do? If you hide and they don't find you in three days then the demon will kill everyone nearby. And if you hand yourself over there is no saying what will happen. He might kill them anyway.
But if you want me to kill him right now then I can buy you a few weeks time to decide what to do. But they will most likely send a battleship to earth if they receive the message from the beacon." Lao used his spiritual sense to communicate with Haru without anyone hearing what they were talking about.
'There isn't any choice is there Is this what Li Jun meant by a great challenge? I will have to fight against the demon clan no matter what, or else I will die.' Haru came to the realisation that there was no avoiding this fight. His best chance would be to kill the demon that was there right now and then try his best to gather people to fight on his side.
He would have to have a chat with Teacher Lin from the black star sect to ask for their help. He also hoped that the cultivation association would help out if possible. But he wasn't on the best terms with them. He only knew a few of their members but this wasn't just Haru's fight anymore. This would be a fight for humanity.
"What did this Luo Yang do? Is there a specific reason that you want him?" Major Niu asked. She wanted a little bit more information on the person that she was supposed to capture just to make sure that she had the right person.
"He interfered with the affairs of my people, gravely injured one of our warriors and killed a general. The general that he kidnapped just so happened to be the emperor's cousin so he sent me here. Under the orders to kill anyone who gets in the way.
So I don't want any of you getting any funny ideas." The demon chuckled after his explanation.
Haru watched as he dropped his guard a little bit since he thought that he was the strongest person there but he kept glancing back at Haru with a hungered look in his eyes.
"Kill him," Haru said out loud. Major Niu and the old man both looked at Haru with confusion and shock upon hearing what he just said.
They didn't know what he meant at first until a green glow began to form around Lao's body and the demon's eyes widened upon recognising what the green light meant. The light turned from a subtle glow into a blinding light before quickly fading to reveal an enormous blue dragon with glowing green eyes.
"D-dragon You are supposed to be extinct! What is a dr-" The demon shouted out in fear upon seeing Lao transform into a dragon.
Major Niu and the old man both couldn't believe their eyes. To the people on earth, dragons were just myths from old legends. But upon seeing the terrifying power that seeped out from every crevice. They couldn't help but feel the same fear that made humans worship dragons as gods when they first encountered them millions of years prior.
"Is that a-?" The old man asked with a stutter to his voice.
"A dragon." Major Niu said in response but also couldn't believe her own eyes. Humanity hadn't seen dragons in hundreds of thousands of years and one so happened to appear in front of a group of humans in the lower realm.
Before the demon could scream anymore Lao's tail appeared to twitch as the demon's body turned into a red mist. Lao had swung his tail with such speed and power that he had vaporised the demon before he knew that he had even died.
This was the power of the gods that people had been told about in stories for generations and both Major Niu and the old man felt both amazed and terrified of what they had just seen.
As the demon's body vaporised a loud high pitched scream echoed out. People all over the world heard the high pitched scream that signified what would be the start of a brutal and fierce war. There was no avoiding it anymore.
The high pitched noise was the signal that alerted the demon clan that their cursed beacon had been destroyed and the demon soul that resided within it had shattered. It wouldn't have killed the demon that had come to earth but he would have been heavily injured from the loss of part of his soul.
As the sound died down after twenty seconds of constant droning. Major Niu and the old man both turned to look at Haru and the dragon that was beside him with fear.
They had offended both Haru and Lao by trying to capture them. They had no idea how powerful Lao was although they suspected him to be someone from another world. Never would they have imagined that he was actually a dragon instead.
They were both too afraid to speak but Haru wasn't about to waste time in his preparations. He had to get as many people on his side as he possibly could and he wanted to start with whatever government office these two had come from.
"I will cut to the chase. I need you guys to drop whatever hostility you have towards me. I didn't kill anyone so I refuse to be questioned by you.
I am the Luo Yang that he spoke of so I had to have him killed before he wiped out humanity. But now that means that more of his kind will come to seek revenge. They will kill everyone on earth if you don't help me win.
So before you say anything. Go back to wherever you came from and tell your leader to meet me at the serpentine resort and spa at six PM next Friday. We can discuss everything in detail then." Haru explained.
He was quick to come up with a plan but he needed time to gather as many people as he possibly could. So he gave them a week to make their decision.
Before they could ask any more questions Haru jumped up on to Lao's back before taking off into the sky and flying high into the clouds. As soon as they were out of sight Lao transformed back into his human form. But this time floating buck naked over the city of Shanghai.
"Where did my clothes go!?" Lao shouted, not realising that they had been torn off when his body expanded to the size of a skyscraper.
Haru opened his storage ring and pulled another set of clothes out from his suitcase before handing them over to Lao for him to change into the.
Once Lao had put some clothes on Haru had decided who he was going to contact first. They then both flew far out into the middle of nowhere to a nearby mountain range where they wouldn't be disturbed by anyone and landed on the top of one of the mountain peaks.
"What are we doing here?" Lao asked, not catching on to Haru's plan.
"Just gathering our forces at the BLACK STAR SECT!" Haru emphasized the name to make sure that Teacher Lin would hear him.
And just as he predicted, clouds rolled into the mountain range and surrounded both Lao and Haru before a thunderous voice called out and an eye appeared in the sky overhead.
"Who dares speak the name of our mighty sect!?" The familiar voice of Teacher Lin demanded an explanation upon being summoned to the mountain range.
"Hey Teacher Lin, Just me again," Haru said awkwardly. Most people had probably gotten the memo not to say the name of the sect because Teacher Lin would appear and kill them but for Haru, he decided he would say the name whenever he wanted to chat with him.
It was probably the most action that Teacher Lin had gotten in a while since no other cultivator would dare to summon him.
"Haru? I should have known better. What is it this time?" Teacher Lin said with frustration until Lao raised his hand toward the eye in the sky and swirled his finger around in a spiralling motion.
Suddenly the eye turned into a portal and Teacher Lin's real body was sucked through and teleported to the top of the mountain alongside them. Haru looked at Lao with shock. He didn't know that was possible. And neither did Teacher Lin by the look on his face.
"What in the world?" He asked before looking at Lao who flashed his bright green eyes in response.
"Magnificent I haven't seen one of your kind in millennia. Teacher Lin instantly knew that Lao had the body of a half-dragon but still couldn't see that he had the soul of a real dragon.
"Ahem, I need the sects help," Haru announced, snapping Teacher Lin's attention back to the matter at hand.
