Wet viviparity

Chapter 988 Ultimate Skill, Old Uncle

On the river, Ji Ming was maneuvering the dragon's body, soaring through the air.

The reason why the dragon's body is so thin is that all of its essence and blood have been refined into dragon essence. Thus, the three most yang substances—the golden rooster feathers, the antler blood of the blue deer, and the dragon essence—that have been refined into the "three heads and six arms" supernatural power, have been gathered together.

The feathers of a golden rooster and the antlers and blood of a grey deer—the former goes without saying.

Given the relationship between Ji Ming and the old golden rooster, it wouldn't matter if he took two more feathers, let alone one.

The only troublesome thing here is the blood of the Azure Deer. Because the White Crane Ancestor above him in the Longevity Palace has always been at odds with the old star lord's immortal mount, the Azure Deer, and there have been many disputes between them, so Ji Ming's face is not very useful to the Azure Deer.

Later, Baicaozi came up with a plan and suggested that he use his connections at the Moon Palace Medicine Pounding Platform.

After all, everyone knows that the Azure Deer in the Longevity Palace is fond of the way of longevity pills, and the Jade Immortals hold the secret to immortality and understand the properties of all medicines. They are the masters of this way and are naturally regarded by the Azure Deer as role models and beacons in the way of pills.

With the help of the Jade Fairies, obtaining the velvet blood was a piece of cake, and the process was extremely smooth.

Of course, this wouldn't have been possible without the help of some people in important positions, such as Xiao Shou Gu, who was in Yingzhou but often appeared in front of the old star lord, and Ying Shu Heng E, who was in the moon palace and whose name Ji Ming couldn't remember several times.

These were his benefactors and friends.

Ji Ming wasn't particularly interested in the fight between Quan Shougong and Zhao Langxing on the river, but he chose not to intervene in order to test Quan Shougong's skills. However, there was one person here who was destined to die.

"Iron Fork Taoist!"

The dragon's body swooped down and blocked the way for the Iron Fork Taoist.

This Taoist priest with the iron fork made a mistake because of his love for chess, and he condoned and protected the monk Yuji in his plot to harm Li Muru. This old matter should be settled.

"You wretched creature, you're courting death." Without another word, the Iron Fork Taoist shook his fork, and the tip immediately trembled, with low humming sounds rising everywhere. However, after a "hum," the dragon body residing in the righteous god seemed to be struck by a series of thunderbolts, continuously exploding internally.

Seeing that his special skill had worked, the iron fork shook even more violently.

"Ok?"

Seeing that his prized skill only worked once, and then vanished without a trace the second time, the Iron Fork Taoist was horrified.

The sound emitted by his trident was not an ordinary sound. It was the sound of the Pivot Divine Sound, which he had created after gaining enlightenment from the silent thunder in the Moon Palace and taking a different approach from the sect's secret technique, "Great and Small Thunder Sounds".

This divine sound specifically seeks out the nodes of the inner workings of all things, the gaps in the flow of qi and blood, and uses the method of resonance to induce disintegration from the inside out. Ordinary magical treasures and physical bodies, without the ability to be perfectly round and flawless, and to form their own world, can hardly withstand this formless and intangible vibration.

However, this time, as soon as he uttered the Zhen Shu Divine Sound, there was no further response.

"Hey!"

The scales on the ribs on both sides of the dragon's body suddenly spread out from the inside.

On each of these two sides, an enormous hand with distinct fingers extends out.

These two palms stretched open the already loose scales, and in an instant, the two palms on the dragon's body seemed to transform into two five-fingered, fleshy wings.

With the addition of these five-fingered wings, the dragon's speed increased even further, darting towards the Iron Fork Taoist like a phantom. The Iron Fork Taoist hastily used water escape techniques, even refining some of his inner essence to aid his escape, but no matter how skillfully he executed the water escape, he could not evade the pursuit.

"Hey!"

On the dragon's body, another pair of smaller, five-fingered secondary wings unfolded. This time, they moved even faster, hanging tightly behind the water light that the Iron Fork Taoist had transformed into.

The dragon's mouth, which had been slightly open, suddenly opened wide, and an arm slowly emerged from deep within its throat.

Seeing that the slender hand was about to touch him, the Iron Fork Taoist desperately used the Corpse Dissection Technique from the unorthodox sect to dissect his own body; at the same time, he stirred the Zhen Shu Divine Sound within his body to create a thunderous and fiery sound; and then he used the Five Elements Reversal Technique to transform the refined water into true fire, which exploded out along with the thunderous and fiery sound.

With these three methods applied simultaneously, Ji Ming only felt the figure of the Iron Fork Taoist in front of him split into streaks of bloody light, and then became brightly lit.

Immediately afterwards, he was dragged dozens of miles away, quickly moving away from the airspace where boundless flames and thunder had spread.

Inside the dragon's body, a path runs from one end of the dragon's body all the way to the head of the Iron Fork Taoist, which is separated from his physical body.

It was this path, which constantly shortened and folded between the two, that allowed Ji Ming to keep close behind Tie Cha Dao Ren. Even when Tie Cha Dao Ren tore his own flesh apart to make his escape speed even faster, Ji Ming was still able to keep up.

Of course, it was thanks to Ji Ming's caution that the path was tied to the head of the iron fork.

The remaining hands, feet, and body of the Iron Fork Taoist were all destroyed by the lightning and fire. Clearly, those were all bait for the Iron Fork Taoist. If Ji Mingzhen were to chase after one of them, he would surely be injured in the boundless lightning and fire.

Upon seeing the winged dragon monster that followed him like a shadow, a look of astonishment appeared on the Iron Fork Taoist's head.

His spirit leaped out, like a tiny person emerging from within, and raised his treasure fork, aiming it at the dragon monster. Lightning from the fork's tip shot out like a series of thunderbolts.

One bolt of lightning after another, dense as rain, with a sharp, piercing sound as if countless electric snakes were shooting out. The hand that emerged from the dragon's mouth neither dodged nor avoided, but simply moved its five fingers gently in the air, as if plucking invisible strings, or as if untangling a predetermined trajectory.

The dense lightning bolts that were originally shooting straight toward the dragon's head deflected as they touched a spot about a foot in front of the palm, as if they had encountered a slippery barrier.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Blazing white lightning bolts grazed the dragon's body, some shooting into the high-altitude clouds, exploding into clusters of sparks; others fell into the river below, stirring up towering water columns and billowing steam; and several more blasted uncontrollably towards the banks of the river.

The cliff on one side of the riverbank was struck by lightning, and large sections of rock instantly turned black and cracked, turning into rubble that rolled down; the dense forest on the other side suffered even more, with trees being split in half and bursting into flames, like several fire dragons being set ablaze.

The lightning flashing at the tip of the fork shone directly on the dumbfounded expression of the Iron Fork Taoist's Yin spirit.

The dragon's mouth drew ever closer, its wings flapping, and the hand within its mouth drew ever closer, as if parting a curtain of water. Dense lightning was dispersed on either side, and finally, the hand seized the head beneath his spirit, then casually rubbed it.

With a "sizzle," the head and the Yin spirit were both rubbed into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated.

"In the path of physical refinement, the Yin spirit is indeed weak."

After taking a blow from Quan Shougong, Zhao Langxing used water escape to leave, not to reunite with Zhao Ni and threaten Quan Shougong by taking Jiang Shiliu and other disciples hostage.

Zhao Ni's visit was just a feint; his real purpose was to go to the old camp of the spotted sharks to meet his third uncle from the Zhao clan.

With his great-uncle's cultivation, the "Spirit and Flesh Chapter" in the "Six Jia Spirit Flying Strategy Book" had already reached the state of great perfection. If it weren't for the decline of both his body and spirit, he could break through the void with his physical body at any time and become the third true immortal of the Zhao family after Ancestor Nazhen.

In the river, Zhao Langxing pushed his speed to the limit, reaching the Dragon Gate where the river meets the sea. He crossed the Dragon Gate without incident and arrived at the vast East Sea. Just then, a crimson cloud passed by on the sea, heading straight for the way he came.

"We came from the direction of Laoying."

Zhao Langxing exclaimed in surprise.
