Chapter 1943 - Water Dragon's Bloodline

Jeras Orcha was healing his split arm when his scalp turned numb. He moved his other arm, intending to clash with Schleya's strike despite the previous injury caused by Crescentblood. His water energy instinctively circulated, allowing him to form a defensive armor that was made up of Water Dragon's water.

Schleya arrived towards his injured right arm, forcing him to use it again, but a left fist hurled towards her forcefully.

A wild surge of blood energy erupted from Crescentblood as it slashed Jeras Orcha's left arm.

However, just before the curved blade could strike the arm, the arm that was wrapped in deep blue water began to undulate strangely. Unfortunately, when the sharp crimson blade pierced through the deep blue water, it wasn't able to slice through no matter how sharp it was!

'This is'

Schleya's eyes sharply narrowed.

She no longer applied force to her blade but pulled it back. Her blade had been defended by the soft, yin nature of the water that disallowed her to slice through. It was like an endless stream of viscosity that kept her at the same spot. She thought the heaviness of the water would not make it possible for such a thing to happen, but clearly, such a feat had been mastered by this person.

Or perhaps, this was the true nature of the Water Dragon, heavy yet still retaining the smooth flowing property of water.

However, she didn't stop but hacked two blades together at him at the same time. The curved blades attacked from both sides, causing Jeras Orcha's expression to change.

He could only force one side out. If he forced out both sides at the same time, then the pressure on the layer of water energy wrapped around his arm would enlarge and collapse, unable to receive the pressure.

*Puchi!~*

His arm flew, severed from the forearm as blood splattered.

"Fuck!"

Jeras Orcha let out a painful yet crass howl as he kicked Schleya in the stomach, forcing her away as she was sent flying, but when she regained balance, it could be seen that she defended the kick with both of her curved crimson blades.

"Yield!"

Abruptly, an authoritative tone echoed, forming into a formless might that restricted Jeras Orcha!

"!"

Jeras Orcha found himself unable to move. His right arm, which was just about to finish healing, was disrupted while blood kept flowing out of his left hand. His expression constantly changed, his face becoming pale. He knew he was about to be defeated by Welch Regalanius at this moment and couldn't help but hurriedly circulate his blood essence.

He sacrificed it, causing the restriction to break before he screamed out.

"Water Dragon's Crushing Whirlpool!"

Water exploded out of his body as it filled the entire space, covering a twenty-kilometer radius in an instant. The seemingly calm water domain was now raging with many whirlpools inside that it could be seen if one was caught inside; perhaps, not only would they be crushed but also severed into pieces.

The current inside the water domain technique was terrifying!

Welch Regalanius appeared at the outer layer of the Water Dragon's Crushing Whirlpool. He was caught inside, and the pull of the whirlpools surrounding him was pulling him closer and closer. Raging flames tried to surge out of his body, but they were all clearly suppressed by this extraordinary and overbearing technique.

When he turned to look and find Schleya, he saw that she had somehow escaped the domain!

'Dammit!'

He tried to take advantage of Jeras Orcha losing his arm to finish him off, but he was a second late. Knowing that Jeras Orcha became ruthless, he instantly tried to retreat but got caught in his technique while Schleya sensed the terrifying undulations and escaped. When it activated, she was at the edge and easily left the Water Dragon's Crushing Whirlpool.

"Bastard! I told you not to interfere if you're a man. Turns out that you're worse than an animal even though you're a Heaven Mandate Temple's disciple!"

Jeras Orcha possessed a stomach full of anger and pain from Schleya's attacks, but he unleashed it at Welch Regalanius, who caused him to use his blood essence a bit. This kind of usage wasn't enough to rattle him as he had resources to replenish, but if Welch Regalanius didn't interfere, he didn't have had to use it.

"Buzz off! This is a three-way battle. I never said that I agree with your words, so what are you blaming me for? Besides, didn't we attack Schleya at the same time? Why don't you look at the mirror and call yourself shameless three times in order to self-reflect?"

Welch Regalanius shouted as he defended against the terrifying whirlpools, unleashing his flames. If he also used his blood essence, it would be possible for him to escape, but if he had to use his blood essence, then he felt that it should not be for escaping but for defeating an opponent.

Raging flames emerged as he began to cast fire techniques inside the water domain, intending to evaporate them all. He didn't believe he could be gravely injured while having the same prowess and Mandate Laws to use.

Cracks began to spread over the mountains from the sheer shock waves of their strength. No ordinary seventh-stage cultivators would probably be able to survive if they were near.

In the distance, Schleya calmly watched the fight. She didn't go join them but was recuperating her energy and also from her injuries. Jeras Orcha's punches and kicks were truly terrifying. It made her feel nauseous with her internal organs tumbling inside her, but fortunately, she was able to see his kick and defended using Crescentblood. However, even the shockwave was difficult to suppress. If she had received it personally, her body might have an additional yet big hole in it.

However, there was still no trepidation in her heart that it could be seen that she had crossed numerous life and death battles, unlike Jeras Orcha and Welch Regalanius, who were panicking that they might be cut into pieces. She was a woman who kept her mouth shut while Davis ripped apart her limbs in a brutish manner.

"Schleya has huge guts to be moving in front of Jeras Orcha like that. Once the Water Dragon clenches someone in its water field, even if it's the Golden Dragon or Fire Dragon, they have to resign themselves to the prospect of escaping injured..."

In the Alstreim Family's seating area, Zestria couldn't help but comment with her mouth slightly agape.

She had seen many people fight closely with them, but all those who did had relevant Body Tempering Cultivations, but Schleya she just possessed Low-Level Martial Sage Stage Cultivation, so how could she be so daring? She was practically courting death.

"Well, she did say that she would like to experience life and death battles..."

Davis awkwardly chuckled. If he didn't know better, he would think that Schleya was suicidal or crazy.

"Jeras Orcha is really strong." Fiora couldn't help but blink, "However, Zestria, was he originally that strong?"

"Tsk." A faint sneer emerged on Zestria's face, "That idiot wouldn't even hold a candle to us Dragon Queens. Only after obtaining the primal yin essence of Giselle Orcha did he become this strong. His bloodline purity doesn't even come close to hers, much less us. But after obtaining her primal yin essence, his bloodline purity exceeded hers. However, he is still not a match to us in terms of bloodline purity."

"Why?" Fiora asked again.

"Despite the Water Dragon being strong as the other three Dragons, the Orcha Family's purity has decreased more than ours. That's why their cultivators are the weakest amongst the four families and also have the least bloodline purity. If one of the four Dragon Families is going to decline first in the future, it's them, not us." Zestria explained with a grin.

It seemed that she didn't like the Orcha Family.

"Oh? Then what's your bloodline purity? Can you even measure it?"

Mo Mingzhi curiously asked before Zestria nodded her head.

"In our Dragon Families, we have the Bloodline Stairs to test out bloodline purity. There are a hundred stairs, and each stair represents a percent."

"All members of the Dragon Families would climb the stairs once they reach their coming of age, but the main branch members would take it when they're three years old. If their bloodline purity is higher, they would be rewarded with many resources and given special care. The man and woman with the most bloodline purity will naturally be groomed as the Young Master and the Young Mistress, the latter also known as the Young Dragon Queen."

"Young Dragon Queen?" Fiora narrowed her brows.
