Chapter 180: The Dragon's Blood is Boiling, the Diamond is Indestructible

The rumbling sound of thunder came from far away and the scene in front of me was dark and gloomy, a terrifying scene of the coming doomsday.

The outskirts of Zhuqiong Mountain.

On a steep mountain wall where rock pines grow.

Xu Hanlin sat cross-legged on the slanting branches of a crooked pine or cypress tree, his face calm, flipping through a book in his hands.

But his eyes did not fall on the book, but looked at the flashing lightning in the distant sky. The black wind blew from the sky in the clouds, blowing his hair and clothes, and also flipping the pages of the book in his hand, making a rustling sound. Occasionally, a scarlet blood stain could be seen on the pages.

Swish!
A red light appeared next to Xu Hanlin.

The Taotie with a human face and a sheep body yawned and walked out of the fire with lazy steps.

"You are still reading the suicide note your mother left for you." Taotie climbed down from a flat rock and scratched his chin with his human-like claws. "You should be able to memorize the contents above."

"Could it be that there is some peerless magical skill hidden in it?" Taotie's eyes suddenly lit up and he stretched his neck and moved closer.

"It's just an ordinary family letter." Xu Hanlin raised his head, looked at Taotie, and said calmly, "She has been locked up in the Demon Suppression Tower for more than 20 years. She doesn't know whether I am dead or alive. She just wrote down some of the things she wanted to say, as if I was still by her side..."

"These papers and ink were all bought back bit by bit from the Demon Suppression Bureau by her own flesh and blood."

Xu Hanlin's voice became lower and lower.

Taotie opened his mouth but said nothing and lay back on the rock.

call!
Something happened that shocked it.

Xu Hanlin held the treasured book in his hand high up, and a flame suddenly ignited on it. The red flame ignited the pages of the book, and when the wind blew, it looked like countless butterflies flying in the wind. It was beautiful under the dark sky, like a dream.

Xu Hanlin's eyes were empty, as if he vaguely remembered what happened more than thirty years ago.

There were also the same butterflies in the flower-filled villa where he and his mother had lived.

"Those good times are gone forever." The flames burning in the air went out, and the light in Xu Hanlin's pupils also dimmed.

"You..." Taotie looked at Xu Hanlin with surprise.

This suicide note was regarded as a treasure by Xu Hanlin, but now he destroyed it himself and burned it to ashes.

"I can sense his presence right here." Xu Hanlin slowly stood up, stretched out his arms, the dark sky reflected in his eyes.

"I said I would protect my mother, but she died in front of me."

"I broke my promise." Xu Hanlin sighed and said, "No matter if I win or lose, this is my last battle."

"Let this longing accompany me into hell."

"Roar!"

Xu Hanlin suddenly raised his head and let out a long howl.

His eyes burst into bloodshot, his back bulged, and a huge black wing burning with devilish flames spread out behind him. The sharp and piercing sound waves instantly shattered the rolling dark clouds in the sky, and the mountain peaks under his feet exploded. The whole person soared into the sky with a scarlet evil spirit, and in the blink of an eye, he was submerged in the dark torrent.

"Damn it, wait for me!" Taotie was blown away by the sudden air wave and crawled out from a pile of rubble covered in dust.

He spat on the ground.

Taotie was obviously a little angry.

I still remember that when we first met, I just treated him as a blood bag to recover from my injuries.

Unexpectedly, after spending several months together, sharing life and death, they gradually developed a deep friendship.

Now that Xu Hanlin had taken the initiative to leave, Taotie was in a state of hesitation. He paced back and forth in the rubble, recalling Su Heng's ferocious grin, and felt a surge of fear in his heart. On the other hand, he recalled every bit of his life with Xu Hanlin, the two of them had fought together and recognized each other.

finally--

Emotions still prevailed over reason.

boom!
Taotie slapped the huge rock mountain with his palm, and it shrank by half.

A pitch-black flame suddenly rose from his body, and the huge shadow revealed a powerful aura that belonged only to a death-level demon.

"Damn it, I'm really crazy." Taotie cursed angrily.

Flames exploded.

His body turned into a stream of dark light and quickly chased in the direction where Xu Hanlin disappeared.

……

……

When a distant dragon roar was heard from afar, Su Heng stopped.

He raised his head, and what appeared before him was a dark, vast, and terrifying spectacle. Endless thunder fell from the sky, and dark clouds rolled in.

The huge rocky peaks that shot straight into the sky were broken by this vast force, but the broken peaks did not fall down. Instead, under the influence of a powerful force, they gathered together with countless broken rocks to form a huge and vast continent floating in the air.

This is the origin of the name of the "Sky in the Clouds" wonder.

On this dark and hideous Cloudtop continent covered with broken rocks and peaks, a vague black dragon shape can be vaguely seen.

Because of the long distance and the bad environment, Su Heng couldn't see the dragon shape clearly for the time being, but the vast dragon might was rolling in, causing palpitations in Su Heng's chest. Needless to say, what Li Lingxiu said in the letter was indeed true. Tyrant Dragon once stayed here for a short time, and because of the special environment of "Cloud Sky", it left a mark.

It has been a thousand years since then, but the mark has never disappeared. It is still rampant, emitting a dragon's might as vast as the ocean.

The secret realm of "Sky in the Clouds" is open for a limited time.

Su Heng didn't want to waste time and continued to move forward.

Boom!

The storm brought a thundercloud with flashes of lightning, which hit Su Heng head-on.

He instantly felt like he was drowned in a thunder pool, his long hair stood up, his body was black, and some of the more serious injuries were bleeding. Su Heng opened his mouth and spit out a wisp of black smoke in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

"That's powerful enough." Su Heng raised his middle finger towards the sky in the distance.

He closed his eyes and mobilized the dragon blood.

Powerful life force is released from the spinal cord and flows throughout the body along the highly mutated blood.

Su Heng's body seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, and his slightly injured skin recovered in the blink of an eye. He was much more serious in his heart, knowing that he would face a real test. He simply stimulated the potential of the dragon blood and entered the blood-blasting state.

After raising the "Dragon Shedding Blood Refining Method" to the limit-breaking realm and successfully fusing the dragon marrow.

Su Heng can not only tap into the potential of dragon marrow like Anshelie and enter a deep blood-blasting state, but also use dragon blood to strengthen his body in a targeted manner according to different combat needs. Dragon blood is like a handful of attribute points in Su Heng's hand that can be allocated at will, and now, Su Heng has put these attribute points on defense.

Su Heng's muscles, bones, and skin were significantly strengthened.

His body returned to its normal height of just over five meters, and then grew further to nearly six meters. The thick and ferocious skeleton like a demon god was covered with armor-like muscles with a metallic luster, and Su Heng's skin was covered with inky dragon scales.

The powerful force in his body was released, burning, and leaving a substantial shadow in the dark void.

The wind was gloomy and there were lightning and thunder.

The world seemed to be completely enraged, and the blazing lightning struck down without mercy. It turned into a huge silver-white waterfall, more than ten meters wide, covering Su Heng completely. Zhuqiong Mountain was briefly lit up by the lightning, and everything was silver-white. Only the place where Su Heng stood was a conspicuous dark spot, and it was motionless, exuding a calm and powerful aura like a mountain.

Many eyes were attracted to him, and at first they were filled with gloating, wondering which unlucky person was struck by lightning. But when they saw that Su Heng was not wearing the Cloud Key and was striding forward under the lightning, their eyes turned into horror.

Several practitioners who were blocking Su Heng's way hurriedly moved aside to make way for him, fearing that the thunder above Su Heng's head would affect them.

Su Heng didn't care and continued moving forward.

As he went deeper, the number of practitioners on the surrounding mountains became fewer and fewer.

Su Heng also saw a familiar figure on one of the peaks. It was Cui Mingri, the true disciple of Lieyang Sect. Beside Cui Mingri was a burly man with hair and armor, grinning. He also opened his mouth and looked at Su Heng from a distance with a shocked look on his face.

Su Heng and Cui Mingri looked at each other from a distance.

Thinking of Cui Mingri's initiative to invite him to visit Lieyang Gate after he knew that he was being targeted by a Buddhist master, Su Heng also had some good feelings for him, so he nodded as a greeting.

As Cui Mingri and I passed by sideways, we saw nothing in front of us, except for a few huge mountains standing in the sea of ​​clouds with lightning. The grass and trees on the mountains had been burned to ashes, and even the rocks and soil had turned into shining colored glass under the thunder and fire.

Several peaks, like stairs, lead to the sky in the center.

Su Heng glanced at it from a distance.

Come this far.

Even with the Cloud Key, many people have already reached their limits.

At least within Su Heng's sight, there was no one. And relying solely on his physical body, Su Heng had not even reached his limit when he came here.

He flashed, and he stopped hesitating. He took a step forward, and in the blink of an eye, he flashed to another glazed mountain peak. In another flash, Su Heng's burly body had already stepped onto the "Cloud Sky" in the center of the secret realm.

And behind Su Heng.

Yuan Qianqiu and Cui Mingri both snapped their jaws shut and with horror on their faces they turned their gaze away from behind Su Heng.

Even though Yuan Qianqiu was carrying the Cloud Key, his scalp was numbing from the blow.

The huge wolf skin on the shoulders was dotted with flames.

He opened his mouth and blew out a huge smoke ring from his throat. He reached out and grabbed Cui Mingri's shoulder, "Brother, that fierce guy seemed to be greeting you just now. Do you know him?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Cui Mingri's shoulder was pinched so hard that it hurt. He gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't I tell you, Jiang Beizhou, that the man who killed Zen Master Dingguang and saved my life was the one just now. But it's strange that I didn't see Li Lingxiu..."

"Su Heng, the governor of Baihua County." Cui Mingri asked curiously, "Do you know what the governor's position is?"

"It seems like he is a minor local official." Yuan Qianqiu stretched out his claws and scratched his head.

Before he could explain, he heard another voice coming faintly from the darkness, "Su Heng... did you see him just now?"

Yuan Qianqiu and Cui Mingri suddenly felt like they had fallen into an icy cave.

A chill ran up my spine.

两人同时转身。

But he saw a figure in black standing behind him, with a handsome face and an indifferent expression.

And most importantly, that person did not have the Cloud Key. He just stood there with his hands behind his back, standing in the vortex of thunder and catastrophe fire, with a layer of dark demonic flames covering his body, and no obvious scars could be seen.
