"How audacious!"
"I'm going to kill him and become a dragon slayer!"
"Humph! I'll use his bones to make dragon soup and give everyone here a feast!"
Despite saying so many brave words, none of them actually made a real move and instead kept on looking towards each other in hopes that someone other than them would make the first move.
After all, it wasn't just dragons, but everyone from the beast race possessed a great advantage over the humanoid races.
This was because while all of them more or less had the same amount of strength, those from the beast races were capable of turning into their beast form which gave them a huge advantage in terms of physical strength.
And this physical strength was enough for them to conduct a mini massacre.
Due to these reasons, dao cultivators regardless of how strong they were, didn't offend those from the beast races for no reason. Of course, if they were just ordinary dao beasts which couldn't turn human-like the few races which could, no one put them in their eyes since their intelligence was not enough to threaten them.
"Ssssss… As a fellow being from the beast race… Sssss… How about letting me benefit a little as well, lord dragon?"
Slithering towards where the Fire God's Lotus was hidden behind the array, the man whose bottom half was a bright red coloured snake felt that he was definitely going to be able to use the Fire God's Lotus.
After all, even though a dragon was strong, he didn't think Jian Shen was strong enough to take down all of the people who were waiting to make a move. Therefore, he believed that it was common sense for the dragon to share the Fire God's Lotus with him.
Once he did so, Jian Shen wouldn't have to be worried about the others attacking since he doubted that anyone would be daring enough to want to go against two beasts at the same time.
Unfortunately, he didn't know how greatly he had overestimated his worth and underestimated Jian Shen's own strength.
"A measly snake dares to think it's my equal?! Die!"
Shocked from hearing those words, everyone including the snake man himself didn't react in time for a huge white dragon claw to come outside the concealment array and slam it into the ground.
Bam!
Looking away as huge gales of wind blew when the snake man was slammed into the building's surface, everyone looked back when the dust finally settled to find a huge mess of blood and flesh littered all over.
Sssss….
Taking in sharp breaths since the scene sent chills down everyone's backs, one of them finally spoke up.
"He's… a heavenly dragon!"
Once those words were spoken, the entire place was filled with an uncomfortable silence since no one dared to add any words to that statement.
Things were different when they guessed that Jian Shen was just a dragon, because even though they were strong, they weren't invincible. But considering how strong the Heavenly Dragons were, which rightfully earned them the seventh place on the List of Ancient Beasts.
"Are…. Are we really not going to do anything…?"
Shaking their heads self deprecatingly, everyone seemed resigned to their fates because even if they could somehow do the impossible and defeat a heavenly dragon by themselves, the consequences them and their families would have to bear with were obviously not worth a single Fire God's Lotus which they would have to share with the others.
Therefore, all of them quickly backed away and left since it wasn't just the Fire God Lotus which was available to them, and even though the other resources related to the Dao of Fire weren't on the same level, there was no heavenly dragon which was going to steal them from them.
With such thoughts, one by one almost everyone left until only a single individual had been left behind.
Licking her lips seductively, the woman who had chosen to not leave began walking towards the array which was hiding the Fire God's Lotus.
"Even though I don't like hurting women, I will kill you just like that snake if you try entering the array."
Smiling mysteriously, the woman stopped just an inch away from the array and said, "If young noble had planned on killing me, you wouldn't have bothered speaking to me."
"Humph! Try and see what'll happen if you try disturbing me."
"Oh, I definitely don't plan on disturbing young noble. This one will wait here until you are finished so that I can serve you with all my heart."
Shaking his head and choosing to not think about the woman and what she wanted, Jian Shen after leaving a part of his thoughts to monitor the outside world, began focusing purely on cultivating by comprehending the Dao of Fire.
At least for now, that is.
Once he finished cultivating, Jian Shen gulped hard from once again looking towards the woman who was waiting for him outside the array.
If she still remained here by the time he finished comprehending all the Dao of Fire inside the Fire God Lotus, hehehehehehe…..
Unable to help himself and gulping once again because the woman was that attractive, Jian Shen closed his eyes while the large petals surrounding him vibrated a little after which streams of shiny orange laws of dao began flying and covering him in them.
