Chapter 292 CHAPTER 291: The Trial-7 The Forbidden Heart Devouring Dragon Technique

"Brother, you are so slow. Can't you even figure that out? That means Chun Churan is our enemy, a spy." The petite Cheng Pu explained patiently.

"Oh, you are right, brother. She knocked us down. " The fatty Cheng Yu turned his head and saw Joey lying on the ground beside Boldy Cao. "Did she do that to him?" he continued, pointing at Joey.

At a glance, the wise and petite Cheng Pu figured out what really happened after Chun Churan knocked them out. He sighed and muttered under his breath, "Hah, what a heartless bitch?!"

"Hey, what are you two just staring at?" Baldy Cao shouted. "Chun Churan turning out to be the spy and the princess of the Beast Taming Royal Family is big news. We need to get back to the headquarters first and report about it soon."

The twin brothers appeared beside them. "Is he okay?" The petite Cheng Pu asked.

"Hmm, he will live. You carry him up. We are leaving now." The Boldly Cao replied.

The fatty Cheng Yu knelled down and tried to pick Joey up.

"Hey, wait a minute. Are you ordering us? You are not our leader, after all." the petite Cheng Pu said.

"Aah, Cheng Pu!" "Alright, then I will carry him up. But do the two of you know how to fix the carriage? Let's not start this again. Today we all have a shitty luck. Our team leader turned out to be a spy and the life of one of our team members was hanging by a thread."

"Fine," Cheng Pu replied.

Boldy Cao nodded at them and walked toward the flying carriage lying on the ground. As he fixed the holes with wood, he used his essence qi to fix them. After an hour, he completed fixing the flying carriage.

Fatty Cao infused his essence qi and the flying carriage began to fly up in the air. "Yo, it's done. Get in. We are leaving now."

Together with Joey, the twins boarded the flying carriage, carried by the Fatty. The next moment, the carriage flew up in the sky and disappeared from that place.

After several hours later, inside the carriage, Joey's eyelids trembled and opened up. He then tried to stand up but failed as he groaned in pain, "Ahh!"

"You better lie down and stay still. We are about to reach the headquarters." Baldy Cao informed him.

Joey didn't try raising again and stared blankly over the carriage roof.

"Hmph!" Baldy Cao sighed and thought in his head, "What a poor fellow?! That event must have shocked him the most."

—------------------------------

Headquarters of The Secret Dragon Society,

Joey and Chief Gou Jing were currently drinking tea, sitting around a portable round table.

It had been two months since that incident and Joey seemed to have returned to his normal self again.

"This boy has matured a lot after that day onward. He must have really felt tormented inside, even though he looked calm on the outside. How should I open up this matter to him after all that happened to him? But, I still need to tell him,  " Chief Gou Jing wondered. He then sipped the tea and said, "Boy, how are you holding up?"

"I'm fine." Joey asked, "Senior Gou, what brings you here for visiting me today?"

After that mission, they met on several occasions. But, never once talked about anything related to Chun Churan, as Chief Gou knew that bringing that topic up would not be any help either to Joey.

,m "Boy, I have to give something to you today." Chief Gou Jing took out something and threw it at Joey.

Joey caught it in the air and said, "Oh, the other half of the black dragon key." "So he did send it before even knowing everything." He then said softly.

"Boy, I don't know how to start this conversation with you. But I can't keep this matter with you anymore." Chief Gou Jing said, with some hesitation.

"You mean about Ning Ji being my father, right?" Joey responded.

"So you knew already?" Chief Gou Jing stated.

"Even though I have his blood flowing through my veins, that man is not my father." Joey then shouted abruptly, "Where the hell has he been when my family needed him the most? Now, my ma and little Mie'er were no more. So I don't need him anymore and don't like to do anything with him anymore."

"I know how you feel, boy. I'm an orphan myself. And I stay alive in the street like some stray dogs picking up leftover foods from garbage. At the same time, we all are the Halfling dragon, both scorned by Dragons and humans. So everyone here has their own stories." Chief Gou Jing furthered spoke, "A few days after you returned from your last mission, we received a small box containing the other half of the Black Dragon Key and a letter inside it with a photograph. It was from Ning Ji. He requested us to find the three persons on the picture, instructing us that they were his long-lost wife and kids, and ordered us to find them for him. After investigation, we find out that the small boy in the photo is you. So I sent some agents to bring him here. But we found him dead inside his house."

"What did you say just now?!" Joey's face suddenly lost color and almost fell down as he suddenly lost all of his strength.

Chief Gou supported him and sighed heavily.

"What really happened?" Joey asked in a hoarse voice.

"We found a trace of sword essence qi inside the house. After various deductions and clues, we found out that someone had killed him. I suspected those bastards from the Beast Taming Family had something to do with it, as they needed to take the other half of the Dragon key from him, too. But after analyzing the remnants of the sword intent inside his body, we found out that it had a sword intent signature the same as that of Chun Churan in our database. So, we concluded that she killed your father." Chief Gou Jing explained.

"Chun Churan, Chun Churan…" Joey began muttering her names several times and gnashing his teeth. His eyes suddenly turned red. The next moment, he drew the sword from his waist and stabbed his own heart. It was extremely quick. Chief Gou Jing failed to stop him as he was also caught off guard, as he never imagined that he would react like this.

Bleurch!

Joey vomited blood twice. At that time, he activated the dragon heart root inside his heart and pushed Chief Gou Jing, throwing away far from him.

He then began to make various hand seals.

Joey's Dragon heart root had a unique ability which could paralyze any experts that this skill had touched three times on a same spot. So after that strike from Joey, Chief Gou Jing remained immobilize over the wall.

Chief Gou Jing saw what Joey was currently trying to do. "Ah, he is using the Forbidden Heart Devouring Dragon Technique!" "Boy, stop it. You are not ready to use that forbidden technique? You will die if you continue."  he shouted.

Joey didn't heed to his words as he kept making various hand seals. Then he finally shouted, " I should have hated her the most. But why is this stupid heart of mind still beating for her and even telling me until now in the hope that she really didn't do anything at all? She is my damn enemy who has deceived me for a long time. So today, I offered this heart of mine to you, my sword. Evergreen Dragon Sword, eat them all up."

The next moment, the tip of the Evergreen Dragon Sword transformed into a jaw of a red dragon and started chewing over his heart part by part.

"Aahh…." Joey began shrieking in pain as his sword began gnawing his heart part by part. It continued for more than half an hour as he howled and wailed in pain. The first ceremony of the Forbidden Heart Devouring Technique completed as his heart was now completely devoured by his sword.

After that, Joey pulled out the sword from his body. He began chanting in an ancient Dragon tongue and finally shouted after he finished casting the incantation, "Sword to Dragon heart transformation, begin?" The next moment, Joey raised his sword in the air. The sword sent out a terrifying aura, blasting everything around him.

Bang!

Just from that sword-aura, it had blown away his house with a loud explosion. Now they were all exposed to the air outside.

Immediately, a large amount of essence qi began to gather just above the sword, forming multiple swirls that rotated at high speed in the air. They all began to condense into pure colorless essence fluid and fell down, which was then devoured by the sword in Joey's hand. The sword absorbed all of it and the surrounding calmed down finally.

At that time, several elders and various other experts of the Secret Dragon Society began to appear around that place one by one. They all came there after that commotion.
