Chapter 52: Battle with the Dragon King

"Hua——" Suddenly there was a huge roar in the river, and the waves surged, and the Dragon King and the dragon spirits rushed towards the women who were washing clothes with their fangs and claws bared. Although the women were somewhat prepared, they hurriedly fled to the shore as soon as they heard the sound of water.

Li, who was standing at the front of the river bank, was unable to escape and was bitten on one of the dragon king's feet. Li was so frightened that he turned pale and swung the mallet he used to beat clothes and hit the dragon king's mouth hard. With a "snap", one of the dragon's teeth was knocked off.

The Dragon King opened his mouth in pain, and Li took the opportunity to pull his foot out and crawl back.

"Dong, Xing, the Dragon King and the others are coming again, come and save us!" Li shouted loudly.

The Dragon King was not going to let the meat slip away, so he immediately chased the fish to the shore. The other dragon spirits also followed him to the shore.

Dong, Xiaoxing and the others guarded them while they washed clothes. At first, the river was calm as usual. After waiting for a while, the others got impatient and lay down on the shore to sleep.

Suddenly hearing a cry for help, Dong jumped up immediately, roared like thunder and shouted, "Hey, you damn evil dragon, you dare to eat my wife, I'll chop you into two pieces." He raised the stone axe and ran straight to the Dragon King.

The Dragon King was chasing Li, and when he heard someone rushing over from the side, he stopped and turned to fight Dong. But his movements were too slow, and by the time he stood up, Dong had already rushed to the middle of his waist, using all his strength to swing the axe at his body, which was as thick as a bucket. With a "snap", a piece of dragon scale fell off.

"Damn it, this dragon spirit is invulnerable to swords and guns." Dong cursed angrily.

At this time, Xiaoxing, Xi, Bei, Xia, Chen, Feng, and more than ten other people came running over. They surrounded the Dragon King and attacked him with their stone knives and axes.

"Eighteen Dragon Slashes." Xiao Xing yelled, swinging his stone knife and slashing at the Dragon King. After a lot of slashing, he didn't even cut off a single dragon scale.

The Dragon King was attacked by everyone. Although he was not injured, he was in great pain. He said angrily: "You monkey-like humans, I let you chop me so many times, now look at my dragon tail swinging."

After saying that, he swept his thick and long tail towards the crowd. Instantly, he swept the dozen people away five or six feet.

The Dragon King couldn't help but laugh loudly, saying, "Monkey-like humans are so vulnerable." Then he ordered the dragon spirits behind him, "All my people, listen up! Start attacking! Charge!"

The dragon spirit behind saw that the king had won, and rushed towards the human with bared fangs and claws.

Dong, Xiaoxing and the others got up from the ground in a panic. Xi looked at the Dragon King helplessly and said, "This Dragon King is invulnerable to swords and spears. What should we do?"

"Look at my big stick." A strong warrior shouted, raised a bowl-thick wooden stick, and rushed towards the Dragon King with a roar: "It can split mountains and rocks."

Zhuang held the stick and hit the Dragon King on the head. The Dragon King used his horns to block the stick, but it knocked the stick away.

Zhuang was stunned in disbelief. Dong hurriedly shouted, "Zhuang, come back quickly."

Zhuang finally reacted and was about to run away, but the Dragon King swept his tail over again, sweeping Zhuang six feet away and hitting him hard against a big rock.

"Ah——!" Zhuang screamed miserably and suddenly couldn't move.

"Zhuang, Zhuang!" Dong shouted and ran towards Zhuang. Others also ran over to see.

There was a dent on Zhuang's head and blood was oozing out. He was probably dead.

"Damned Dragon King, we will fight you to the death." Dong stomped his feet and shouted.

"Fight the Dragon King and avenge Zhuang!" everyone shouted.

The crowd once again brandished their swords and clubs to attack the dragons. The dragon king and the dragon spirits held their heads high, used their fore claws to block, and used their tails to sweep. After fighting for half an hour, the dragon king and dragon spirits were not injured, but the crowd was beaten to the ground, and dozens of people were injured.

"Brother Dong, these dragon kings and dragon spirits are invulnerable to swords and spears. It is impossible for us to win by force. Why don't we try using fire?" Xi remembered that they defeated the tiger king and the rabbit king by relying on fire, so he couldn't help but think of fire attack again.

"Xi, you are right. Let's burn this evil dragon to death with fire." Dong ordered without thinking: "Brothers, let's go back to the cave and get torches and burn them to death."

"Yes, Brother Dong." Everyone was defeated, then lifted Zhuang up and ran towards Tianju Cave.

Xiaoxing was helpless at this time and ran back with everyone.

Qiu, who was guarding the cave, saw the women fleeing into the cave in panic and knew that something had happened.

"Li, why are you running so fast? What happened?" Qiu asked hurriedly.

"Cave Master, we were washing clothes by the river. While we were washing, the Dragon King and the dragon spirit suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the river. I couldn't escape in time and the Dragon King bit one of my feet. I was so scared at that time that I swung the club and hit it, just hitting the Dragon King's teeth. As soon as the Dragon King let go, I was able to escape back." Li answered with lingering fear, holding the club.

"Where are Dong Hexing and the others? Aren't they protecting you?" Qiu asked again in surprise.

"After the Dragon King came ashore to chase him, Dong, Xing and the other warriors immediately went to stop him."

"Li, you stay in the cave." After instructing the women, Qiu immediately found Zhi Heping, Lao Yang, and others and said to them: "Zhi, Ping, fellow warriors, the Dragon King and the Dragon Army came out again. They attacked Li Hemei and others who were washing clothes in the river. Those women escaped back, and Dong Hexing and his men are probably fighting with the Dragon King and his men." After briefly explaining the situation, Qiu ordered: "Now everyone, prepare your weapons and follow me to support Dong Hexing and his men."

"Yes, cave master." Upon receiving the order, everyone carried a sword and a bow, and after getting ready, they followed Qiu to the Hongmeng River.

Just when Qiu led everyone out of Tianju Cave and walked not far away, they saw Dong and Xiaoxing and their group running back.

"Oh no! Dong Hexing and his men were defeated by the Dragon King and fled. Everyone go and help them." Qiu shouted.

Just as everyone rushed over to help, Dong shouted, "Master, the Dragon King is invulnerable to swords and spears. We can't do anything to it, so let's go back and get torches and burn them to death with fire."

"So you want to get torches." Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and said to Dong, "Dong, I thought you were being chased by the Dragon King and were running away in a panic."

"Cave Master, the Dragon King is too powerful. We can only use fire to deal with them." Dong ran to Qiu and reported again.

"Okay, let's go back to the cave and get torches." Qiu didn't think much about it. After all, fire is a tried and tested method that is invincible.

Everyone returned to the cave, took dry firewood and lit the fire, and then hurried back to Hongmeng River.

When the Dragon King saw everyone fleeing back, he led the dragon army in hot pursuit, but their speed was very slow. By the time everyone came back with torches, they had only advanced less than twenty feet.

"Evil dragon, since we can't kill you with the chop, we will burn you to death now." Dong raised the torch and shouted at the Dragon King.

The people behind raised their torches, and flames billowed.

"Woo woo..." The Dragon King looked at it and laughed instead of being afraid: "Monkey-like humans, you are really stupid and have run out of tricks. You actually use fire to scare me. I really don't know what I am doing."

"Evil dragon, why should we care about you? We are going to eat roasted dragon meat today." The tree root roared.

"Brother Shugen, we have never eaten dragon meat, and we don't know if it tastes fishy or not?" asked Ye Zi.

"You only know how to eat leaves. No matter how dragon meat tastes, it won't choke you to death." Dong scolded.

"Monkey-like humans, you actually want to roast my flesh. Come over here if you have the guts, and let's see who will eat whom?" After the Dragon King finished speaking, he stretched out his long neck and a stream of water sprayed towards everyone like a fountain.

The other dragon spirits followed suit and spit water at the people, pouring down like a torrential rain. Everyone was soaked and the torches in their hands were all extinguished.

"Woo woo..." Seeing this, the Dragon King and his army laughed. The Dragon King mocked, "I have the power to move rivers and seas, so why would I be afraid of your fire?"

Everyone was stunned. Xi looked at the extinguished torch in his hand and asked Dong, "Brother Dong, the fire attack failed. What should we do now?"

"Xi, there is really no other way. Let's fight the Dragon King and the others head-on." Dong said angrily.

"Dong, don't worry, let me think of a solution." Qiu looked at the proud Dragon King with his eyebrows twisted into a knot.

The Dragon King and his dragon army approached the people step by step with their fangs and claws bared. The people had no choice but to retreat step by step. As they were retreating, they suddenly heard a few muffled "thump, thump..." sounds from behind, followed by several screams of pain "ouch, ouch..."

Xiao Xing looked back and saw that there were hundreds of long logs lying on the ground. People were so busy backing away that more than a dozen people tripped over the logs and fell. These logs were two feet thick and more than six feet long. They were originally cut down for firewood.

Xiao Xing looked at the long wood, slapped his head, and shouted, "I got it." He quickly said to Qiu, "Cave Master, I have a way to deal with the Dragon King."

"Xing, what solution have you come up with? Tell us quickly." Qiu asked impatiently.

"Cave Master, the Dragon King's dragon spirit is very resistant to attacks. We will use these long logs to deal with it. I don't believe we can't kill it." Xiaoxing said, pointing to the long logs on the ground.

"Okay, we can give this method a try." Qiu nodded in agreement and ordered everyone: "Dong, all warriors, let's use these long woods as sticks and fight the Dragon King together."

"Yes, Cave Master." Everyone nodded in response.

So, Dong, Xi, Bei, Zhong, and Heizi teamed up, shouted, and lifted up the thickest long wood, like a golden hoop, to meet the Dragon King. Xiaoxing, Chen, Xia, Ri, and Yue teamed up to lift another long wood and rushed towards the Azure Dragon behind. The other warriors teamed up to lift the long wood on the ground and rushed towards the dragon group.

"Evil dragon, wait for your fight." Dong Da shouted.

"Monkey-like human, still using the same trick." The Dragon King said with disdain.

The wood weighed more than 200 kilograms, and the force of the blow was as strong as a thousand kilograms. The Dragon King didn't know how powerful it was, so he used his horns to butt, and with a "snap" sound, the Dragon King was almost knocked down.

"Moo..." The Dragon King screamed in pain and quickly turned around and fled, shouting, "My people, I was almost beaten to death. Come and save me."

"My lord, I'm here." The gray dragon spirit at the side hurried forward to help, and with another move of the dragon's tail, it swept towards everyone.

"Brothers, jump quickly." Dong saw the dragon's tail sweep to his feet, and he jumped up like a rubber band to avoid the attack. Seeing this, the others also jumped up to avoid it, and no one was injured.

"Dong, the gray dragon is looking for death. Quickly lift up the long wood and hit the gray dragon." Qiu commanded.

"Understood, Cave Master." Dong agreed, and he and the four others raised their sticks again and turned to hit the gray dragon spirit hard on the waist.

With another "snap", the club hit the gray dragon spirit's waist, breaking its vertebrae. The gray dragon spirit immediately collapsed to the ground, wailing in pain: "Moo, my king, my waist is broken, please save me."

Seeing this, the Dragon King was even more terrified. How could he dare to save him? He quickened his pace and ran towards the Hongmeng River, saying, "The human stick is too powerful. Let's run away!"

When the dragon spirits saw their king running away, they left the gray dragon spirit behind and turned around and fled in a swarm.

Dong stared at the gray dragon spirit and shouted, "Evil dragon, die!"

Several people raised their big sticks and hit the gray dragon spirit on the head again. The gray dragon spirit couldn't dodge in time and was hit right on the head, breaking its dragon horns. Then there was another stick, and the poor gray dragon spirit died on the spot.

After killing the gray dragon spirit, everyone chased after it. Although they hit the lagging dragon spirits with their sticks, they failed to hit their vital parts and they still escaped.

The Dragon King and the dragon spirits fled into the river in panic, immediately dived to the bottom of the river, swam back to Qianlong Bay in one breath, and lay down at the bottom of the deep bay again. Only then did they feel relieved.

The Dragon King, still in shock, said to the other dragon spirits, "Oh my, you monkey-like human being actually brought such a big stick to hit me. I almost got a concussion. If I hadn't run away quickly, I would have died!"

“My lord, these monkey-like humans can use weapons and are quite powerful. No wonder the Bull King and the Tiger King were defeated.” The Azure Dragon Spirit no longer dared to underestimate humans.

"It's a real shame that I didn't get to eat human flesh, but ended up in pain." A white dragon spirit that was hit by a stick said with a groan.

“My fellow people, let’s not act rashly. Let’s wait for the rainy season to come. Then, we will drown all humans in one fell swoop.” The Dragon King warned the Dragon Army.

So the Dragon King and his dragon army lay quietly at the bottom of the river, waiting for the rain, but let’s not talk about that for now.

As the river was very deep, everyone was afraid to go into the river to chase after them. They could only watch the Dragon Army escape. Soon they disappeared in the river and could not be tracked down.
