The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1462 - 1461: First Clash
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
In fact, when Su Changfeng first entered the Sourceless Forest, he noticed something peculiar. While he had clearly arrived here, the Silver Flood Dragon hadn’t appeared immediately, which was indeed strange. After all, it had intentions to kill him, and the opportunity had presented itself, yet it showed no sign of acting against him.
As a result, Su Changfeng couldn’t help but speculate and deliberately said those words to provoke the Silver Flood Dragon, just to see if his guessing was correct.
Judging by the current outcome, his suspicion seemed to be right. Though he wasn’t clear about the true reason, it must be due to some special circumstance that the Silver Flood Dragon was temporarily unable to leave Tianyuan Mountain.
Whatever the reason, this was undoubtedly good news for Su Changfeng.
He planned to use Heavenly Punishment to deal with the Silver Flood Dragon, but given its strength, evasion would likely be easy. However, if it couldn’t leave Tianyuan Mountain, there was a high likelihood his plan might succeed.
"Kid, what’s your reason?" the Silver Flood Dragon asked.
Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng’s lips curved slightly. If he had any uncertainties earlier, he could now be entirely sure the Silver Flood Dragon was temporarily unable to leave Tianyuan Mountain. Otherwise, why would it ask such a thing?
"Wanting to know things like this is simply trivial to me," Su Changfeng deliberately replied.
"I truly can’t leave Tianyuan Mountain, but so what? I can still kill you effortlessly. Don’t try to act mysterious in front of me. Honestly tell me, how do you know?" the Silver Flood Dragon said harshly.
Su Changfeng calmly spoke, "If I tell you, will I die more comfortably?"
"Yes, sometimes dying is simple; other times, it’s inconvenient. Now it’s up to your own choice," the Silver Flood Dragon said.
So far, the Silver Flood Dragon could definitely be considered the most formidable opponent Su Changfeng had encountered. Even now, he was uncertain he could deal with it.
But surviving had already become Su Changfeng’s obsession, so even if it was powerful enough to destroy everything, Su Changfeng definitely wouldn’t do nothing and let himself die here.
Heading straight toward Tianyuan Mountain, it wasn’t long before Tianyuan Mountain appeared before Su Changfeng.
Of course, while it was visible, there was still a considerable distance.
Yet even like this, when Su Changfeng saw the Silver Flood Dragon perched on Tianyuan Mountain, the visual impact couldn’t be described with words.
Its body seemed to encompass the entire Tianyuan Mountain, spanning about a hundred zhang in length at a glance.
The whole of Tianyuan Mountain, in contrast with it, appeared small, even giving the illusion that Tianyuan Mountain itself was tiny.
"Little thing, you actually have the guts to confront it and still come out alive. I must say your luck is quite good," Su Changfeng remarked to the White Jade Python. When he first saw the true form of the White Jade Python, Su Changfeng was curious about who could possibly contend with it. Then, when the Silver Flood Dragon managed to strike it so heavily, he was rather shocked.
Looking at it now, the White Jade Python surviving was indeed no small feat.
"So this little creature is actually one of your Exotic Beasts. I regret accidentally letting it go earlier," the Silver Flood Dragon suddenly said.
The White Jade Python couldn’t help but shiver upon hearing those words.
Previously, it had only ever bullied others; no one had ever treated it like this. But now faced with the Silver Flood Dragon, the White Jade Python was truly helpless.
"Honestly, you resemble something I’m familiar with," Su Changfeng said to the Silver Flood Dragon, inexplicably.
"What is it?" the Silver Flood Dragon asked in puzzlement.
Su Changfeng thought the Silver Flood Dragon’s appearance closely resembled the legendary dragon from their world, though it existed only in myths, with few ever having seen it.
Back then, Su Changfeng was curious about this matter, and he firmly believed dragons truly existed. After all, the depictions were so vivid and lifelike. If they hadn’t been seen by someone, how could they be explained?
Thinking back now, many things are not necessarily understood by later generations, and not everything unseen necessarily doesn’t exist.
"It looks very much like a dragon from my world," Su Changfeng said.
The Silver Flood Dragon, initially calm, immediately trembled upon hearing this. Because of its size, it caused Tianyuan Mountain to shake, and loose rocks rolled down, echoing loudly.
"Could it be you’re not from Tianyuan Continent either?" the Silver Flood Dragon asked Su Changfeng in shock.
Su Changfeng realized from the Silver Flood Dragon’s reaction that it had misunderstood, mistakenly thinking he was from a higher-level world like it.
"Why? Is it only allowed for you to come from somewhere else and not me?" Su Changfeng said calmly.
With these words, the Silver Flood Dragon finally started taking Su Changfeng seriously. Without understanding Su Changfeng’s background, it dared not act recklessly. It wondered if Su Changfeng had hidden his true strength, which wouldn’t be good for it.
If that were the case, indeed, Su Changfeng as an opponent would need serious attention.
"Where exactly do you come from?" the Silver Flood Dragon asked.
Remarkably strong creatures are starting to show fear!
Su Changfeng couldn’t help but laugh; his guess was right. This creature was just a coward seeking refuge, and just saying a few words could achieve such an effect.
Su Changfeng was even more intrigued. In its higher-level world, what was the Silver Flood Dragon’s position in the hierarchy?
Of course, Su Changfeng knew, regardless of whether the Silver Flood Dragon was a coward, on Tianyuan Continent, it was a worthy opponent to take seriously, and he wouldn’t relax his vigilance due to its behavior.
"Are you very curious about my true strength?" Su Changfeng asked.
The Silver Flood Dragon suddenly became uneasy. As it couldn’t currently leave Tianyuan Mountain, if it could, it would have fled already.
In its world, the Silver Flood Dragon was merely the lowest rank of a steed. This was precisely why it instinctively feared Su Changfeng.
If Su Changfeng truly came from the same world, as a low-rank existence, it definitely wouldn’t be his match.
"Do you think you can scare me like that?" the Silver Flood Dragon said.
At this time, Su Changfeng didn’t hide his aura any longer. He wanted to rely on Heavenly Punishment against the Silver Flood Dragon, so the sooner the better, since the Silver Flood Dragon’s strength was continuously recovering. The longer it took, the more precarious Su Changfeng’s situation became.
Because Su Changfeng didn’t suppress his aura anymore, Heavenly Punishment arrived in an instant.
