(A few minutes earlier )
Sam's body was affected by the Blood Moon Scarlett Flower and his body was turning red,
" ( Oh no, I told my master that this would happen, but he forced me, and now Sam's body is starting to resist my herb, and it's not a good sign, I have to do something. ) " Zen was using his illusion skill on Sam,
" Sam, I know that you can hear my voice, everything you see is not real, you're not drowning in a blood pond, so don't fight with it, just relax your mind, lose your muscles, it will help your body to accept the herb, "
Zen learned this skill from his master, because of his loyalty to his master, Zen was using that skill for a minute, but this illusion skill needed more energy, but unfortunately Zen already used a lot of energy in his battle against Sam, because of that, his hands were started to tremble,
" ( Shit, my energy is draining out, I can't hold anymore, Sam, you have to believe in yourself, please stay awake. ) "
In the meantime, Sam's inner realm's surface began to crack and also the crack began to expand bigger and bigger.
" ( What's happening to the inner realm wall? is it breaking? who causing this problem ) " The wall broke down and a roaring sound came from that cracked hole.
" ( No way, I heard that roar before but where? that roar is very familiar to me, every dragon has their own way of roar, and this roar... this roar belongs to brother Zhao, but when did he find out about my secret hideout. ) "
Sam was still in the meditation, Zen illusion was working, and Sam's health improved a little bit better. Zen was still looking at the crack hole.
" ( Shit, I think, he didn't forget our last battle, so he's coming for my head, I have to run away, I can't fight without my energy, I used my energy on Sam, I have to do something, he will be here in any minute, ) "
The roar once again came from the cracked hole, but this time the roaring sound was very stronger and more intense than before,
" Oh, no, brother Zhao Lin has already reached the crack hole, I have to stop, but what about Sam? he's still in his meditation. ( Sam, it's your time, I tried, I'm sorry, you have to do it on your own way, my master believes in you, you have to come back. ) "
Zen took two Advanced Energy Phil to regain his energy, but it was just a temporary way to regain the strength, Zen blood vessels began to appear on the skin, at the same time, a Wingless Blue Dragon entered through the cracked hole. The Blue Dragon's silver eyes were glowing,
" ( Here he came, the last warrior of Zhao Dragon family and one of the seven founders of Zhao Clan, his eyes, no one can escape from his silver eyes, I must keep my distance from his 5 Styles of Elements Swords, it's a hidden technique of Zhao Clan, I have to be more careful with him, otherwise today could be my last day, but I can't act recklessly, let's see, what's gonna happen. ) "
Zen secretly took his Black Flame Dagger and blew on it, at the next second Black Flame covered his Dagger, Zen hide the Dagger on his hand cloak.
Blue Dragon fiercely landed between Sam and Zen, the whole place was started to tremble, Blue Dragon was looking at Zen, and roared at him. The Blue Dragon was floating in the air without wings, and it never touched the ground,
" ( He's manipulating the gravity just as he wants, so stylish ) What a pleasant surprise, Brother Zhao, I didn't expect any guests today. It's so nice to meet you after several thousand years, it's my honour to meet you, I thought that I will never be able to see you again, how have you been? " Zen greeted Zhao Lin and smiled at Zhao Lin but Zen was getting ready for a big fight with Zhao Lin.
" Yes, Brother Zen, but I'm not a fool, you see, my silver eyes find out everything, do you think that I can't sense your Black Flame Dagger, you're acting stupid, put down your Dagger and surrender to me, then I will consider letting you live, " Zhao suddenly turned into an old man,
Zhao was wearing a Blue colour and Silver mixed embroidery cloak, and it was shining,
" Brother Zhao, I don't like your options, you came here without getting my approval, you think I will surrender, don't make me laugh, I already beat you once, if I wish, I can do that again. "
" You're so stupid, still talking like your master, he thought that no one could beat him, that's why he was killed by the God Of Sun, you're just acting like him. Last warning, surrender now, or die." Zhao drew his bamboo flute on his hand, and it suddenly turned into a thin blue sword.
" You think, that ' Blue Bamboo Piercing Leaf ' would pierce my body, you haven't changed a bit, still being arrogant like those days, if you want to fight then let's end this once and for all, "
" You asked for this, " Zhao Lin moved very faster than before but Zen also keep up with Zhao Lin, his Black Flame Dagger was very cool, Zen was stopping every move of Zhao Lin,
" Youre still tougher Zen, but I was waiting for this moment for a very long time, let's see how will you face against my 5 styles " Zhao Lin raised his sword and started to chant some spells,
Zhao Lin's 5 Styles of Sword, that technique was Zhao Clan's creation, if a person masters these 5 Styles of Swords, he can summon the 5 elements through swords,
1. Hundreds of Piercing Water Blades
2. Flying Blade Arrows of Magma
3. Triple Blades of Tornado
4. Gaint Blade of Rock Mountain
5. Multiple Blades of Lightning
Zhao Lin was using the 5 Styles, but Zen already waiting for this attack, Zen closed his eyes and raised his Dagger.
" First style, Hundreds of Piercing Water Blades, " at the time, Zen was surrounded by many ice blades, and the ice blades were started to attack Zen,
But Zen's dagger was made from the most powerful flame, he destroyed the ice blades with his Black Flame,
" I have overestimated you, Brother Zhao, give me a best one, "
" Fifth style Multiple Blades of Lightning, " Zen was surprised, because if a person using the 5 styles of Sword, He can only use these five types of knives systematically but Zhao Lin changed the order for the first time.
" How? you changed the style order, it's impossible, ( I never thought he could change the order of his 5 styles, did I underestimate him, ) " lighting blades suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Lin,
Zhao Lin snapped a time, the whole blades were started to attack Zen, Zhao was creating more lighting swords to kill Zen, but Zen was keep escaping because of his shadowless teleportation.
" ( Lighting blades, they are fast, but not fastest than me, I have to beat him before his next move, ) comes forth my ' Rath Shadow Dagger! ', ( let's see, if you can escape from my evolved Dagger. ) "
" ( His Dagger, it's evolved, what kind of weapon is that? what are you trying to do Zen, but still I have my ultimate skills, let's see what are you going to do? ) "
Zen was swinging his Dagger way faster than before, his Dagger almost vanished because of Zen's faster swings, Zen threw the Dagger in the air, Zhao Lin used his silvery eyes to see the vanishing Dagger,
" ( Your Dagger, it is good indeed, Zen, you destroyed my lightning blades with your dagger, but next move will finish you. It's really getting fun. ) Ultimate Form Of 5 styles, come to me, "
" ( Oh no, he's combining the 5 styles in one, it could create a disaster, I have to stop him before his attacks injure Sam, ) " Zen threw his dagger on Sam,
" ( I gave my Dagger to Sam, it will create a thick barrier around Sam, now Brother Zhao Lin! taste my ' Shadow Threads ' ) Zen raised his hands and closed his eyes, suddenly multiple threads were coming out of his fingers, and tied Zhao's body
" Zen, what are you doing, you promised me, you never use your threads on me, but you broke your promise, "
" I'm sorry, Brother Zhao Lin, I was trying to stop your attack, it could bring a disaster here, and this is someone's inner realm, so your attack could destroy his mental state, that's why I used my threads on you, "
" Do you think you can tie my body like this, I'm Blue Dragon, your threads can tie my human body, but you can't hold your threads against my true form. "
Zhao closed his eyes, suddenly a blue light came from his body and he turned back into a Blue Dragon, Zen's threads were felling apart from Zhao Lin's body.
*****
Sam slowly opened his eyes, he felt some relief on his back pain, his hand injury also healed completely, that Blood Moon Scarlett was very affective on Sam,
" ( Wow, he's correct, I feel amazing now, and I feel strong now, because of that herb, my injuries are healed, now I can trust him, maybe he can help me from escaping here, ) Mr. Zen... " Sam saw a big Blue Dragon was standing between Zen and him, that Dragon was bigger than Shadow Dragon.
Suddenly a Dagger fell into his hand,
" ( What? who is this now? I thought they left me, but I can't believe that they're truly after me, what do they want from me? are they want me to end my life? ) " Sam searched for his demonic sword, but he couldn't find anywhere, so he defended himself with that Dagger.
" Mr. Zen! what's happening here? who is that new Blue Dragon? " the Blue Dragon
looked back at Sam, Zhao's silver eyes were scanning Sam's body, and Zhao was amazed by the thing on his back,
" Brother Zhao, it looks like, you figure out about him, " Zhao switched back to his human form, he never took his eyes away from Sam,
" Who are you boy? how do you have a Dragon bone in your body, did you kill any Dragon and take the backbone by yourself, but it can't be, without Dragon Chi, no one can't get Dragon's backbone, so... "
" Yes, Brother Zhao, your guess is correct, he has Dragon Chi, "
" But... he's a demon... "
" Yes, I know he's a demon, but thanks to his mother, he had dual energies, and one was Dragon Chi, another one was Demon Wolf, "
" So, you gave your backbone to him, isn't it? you're a disgrace, you're not worthy to be a Shadow Dragon, "
" That's not mine, it belonged to my master's backbone "
" What? ( it's bad news for the 10 Realms, if he adapted the backbone, he will become..... no he's a big threat, I have to kill him, "
" ( Shadow Dragon? he's that Shadow Dragon, he was going to take my soul for his unknown master, but why did he help me? ) Mr. Zen! are you really that Shadow Dragon? "
Sam was very confused about Zen, if he was an enemy for Zen, then why did he save Sam's life
" Yes, it's true, I'm that Shadow Dragon, I'm the one who attacked you, "
" Then why did you save me, I was dying because of Hell Flame Crystal but you saved me, why? you wanted to trap my soul for your master, then why did you save me? Why? "
" Because you were dying Sam, and it was not my choice to save you, my master didn't want you to die, that's why he gave his backbone to you, because of him, you're still standing here, and that herb, it's all happened because of my master's order. "
" Stop, whoever you're, you will die today, youre a big threat for the 10 Realms, "
" Hold on Brother Zhao Lin, if you kill him today, his mother will kill your entire Zhao Clan, did you forget that day, she created you without using her Dragon Chi, "
" Zhao Liying? the crown princess of Zhao Clan? "
" Yes, she is indeed Sam's mother, I hope you will regret it after putting your hands-on Sam "
" What's happening to me? my mom was a Princess of Zhao Clan? "
