More than a dragon Warrior

Anger vs Greed

Anger vs Greed

[3rd POV]

A gigantic bolt of lightning streaked across the sky of China and Tibet.

The sky darkened as if to foretell a disaster. Thunder rumbled and shook the world, declaring the coming of unimaginable power.Cheêck out latest novels on

Tai Lung whose body had completely turned into a lighting, blitzed across the sky and headed straight to China at the speed of lighting.

Sound desperately tried to catch up to him, causing the whole world to hear a rumbling akin to the sky falling apart.

It did not take more than a minute for Tai Lung to reach China. His body turned back into flesh when he reached Gongmen city where he crashed into the top of the Tower of Sacred Flames.

"Shen!! Shen!!" Tai Lung called out and spread his sense throughout the city.

Shen was not there.

He took a moment to shake off the dizziness from travelling at such speed before he fell to the ground in chi exhaustion. He quickly generated more with five pulses and he shot back up to the sky again, his body turned into lightning.

And just like that Tai Lung searched for Shen throughout China. His lightning body took him to places where he thought he would find Shen but each time, he was disappointed.

"Where are you goddamnit!!" Tai Lung screamed, his body rapidly shifting from flesh to lighting. At first, he struggled but the more he used it, the better he got.

He flew to different parts of China, visiting every kingdom for hours but with no success. He thought he would be able to save him considering Shen didn't know the speed at which he could travel.

However, the place where Shen and Kai went was a place he had never revealed to Tai Lung. It was also a hidden location where he used to hide as the banished prince. There was no way for Tai Lung to find him in such a short time, no matter the speed, China was ginormous.

In the end, his failure was cemented in the form of a giant explosion that could be felt from miles upon miles.

The explosion immediately caught the ears of Tai Lung while he was in the middle of searching for Shen. His head snapped towards the explosion.

Tai Lung's heart which was like a chaotic ocean wave suddenly froze into a giant glacier. The worry on his face was gone in an instant, replaced by a stone-cold expression.

It was done.

There was no need to worry anymore.

Shen was dead.

"That is the signal." Tai Lung said through gritted teeth, cursing the peacock in his mind.

Then ever so slowly, his stoic mask cracked and rage emerged. His eyes glow bright yellow and it could be seen for miles even during the day.

Then he streaked across the sky in the form of lighting. The sky was quickly suffocated by black clouds that carried a storm, once the image of limitless freedom - the sky was turned into a manifestation of oppression.

He planted his feet on the ground and the earth became liquid. His feet sunk down, the world unable to bear the weight of such raw power.

Kai flexed his knees and at last, another shockwave ripped the sound barrier and they both separated.

He panted as if his spiritual body could feel exhaustion. He had never felt more alive and vulnerable before. It was a weird feeling.

Kai had been a spirit warrior for more than five centuries now. He was a being that did not have mortal limitations but at this moment, Tai Lung's mere presence bestowed that limitation on him again.

"Yes...YES!!!" Kai screamed and laughed with excitement, his battlelust overflowing.

His green eyes glows with greed and envy while looking at Tai Lung. "After I have your chi, I will truly become invincible. Nay, I will become a GOD!!"

Tai Lung could not even spare a scoff as he got on all fours, like a predator ready to hunt down his prey. Kai looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"You have no more chi left." he declared, "How do you plan to fight me?"

It was then that Kai heard the sound of a heartbeat. Tai Lung's body glowed in mystical blue and a shockwave of energy starting from his heart washed over his body.

And with each beat, Kai could see Tai Lung's reserve filling. It was the strangest sight Kai had ever seen.

Was the enemy truly capable of creating chi - a universal energy - inside his own body? Won't that basically mean that he was a...

His thought was cut short as instincts screamed at him. Kai took a battle stance - a defensive one - and awaited the incoming catastrophe.

Tai Lung released a deep growl...or was it thunder? His growl sounded more like a continuous chain of thunder.

"You made the mistake of your life Kai." Tai Lung declared.

"Hahaha! Did I?" Kai replied, "Let us see which one is stronger..."

"Your anger, or my greed."

There was nothing more to say. No more words were exchanged.

Action spoke louder than words, Tai Lung expressed his boiling rage and Kai expressed his endless greed.

Tai Lung's body was covered in lighting and he blitzed towards Kai who also exploded into action.

It was the battle between the strongest and the cumulative history of power.
