Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 427 A small test of one’s skills
Chen Mu had anticipated this and withdrew immediately.

Just as he moved, the crocodile demon raised the corner of its mouth slightly, revealing a hint of mockery.

"Who says humans are intelligent? In my opinion, they are extremely stupid..."

He kept moving, and before he put away the giant axe in his hand, he suddenly turned around and kicked out like a whip.

Suddenly, a huge crocodile tail shadow appeared in the air, sweeping across an area of ​​a hundred feet like a real entity, firmly covering Chen Mu's escape range.

It turned out to be the crocodile clan's innate magical power, the crocodile dragon swinging its tail!

“Hahaha… Although the crocodile tribe’s innate magical power potential is insufficient, it is still a wonderful method.”

"One force can break all laws. Don't underestimate it. Back then, there was a monster from the crocodile tribe who relied on his innate magical powers, which he had cultivated for thousands of years, to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator in one fell swoop..."

"Look at this guy with delicate skin and tender flesh. If he gets bit by this tail, he'll probably be turned into a pulp."

……

The monsters were clamoring, but Chen Mu acted as if no one was around. He subconsciously made a hand gesture and stood up again, and the shadow of Kunpeng appeared quietly.

When he spread his wings, his figure broke through the air. Judging from his speed, he was able to escape before the crocodile's tail swung down.

"Hmm? This is... the secret technique of my demon race, right?"

The monsters were stunned and murmured as they stared at the shadow of Kunpeng. Some bird monsters even had a flash of desire in their eyes.

Kunpeng is an ancient mythical beast. It has disappeared from this world today, not to mention its bloodline inheritance, which has long been cut off.

Unexpectedly, there is a secret method of Kunpeng's escape technique among the human race...

“If we can take it and deduce it, we might be able to obtain a glimpse of the true meaning of the Kunpeng lineage.”

While he was thinking, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

Chen Mu's heart moved and he quietly changed his mind.

As soon as he stopped moving, he looked as if he was being suppressed by the force of the crocodile's tail and couldn't break free.

"Oh, what a pity!"

Seeing this, several bird demons who had been tempted just now shook their heads.

It’s not that it’s a pity for Chen Mu, but it’s a pity that the Kunpeng secret technique he used could not break free from the suppression of the crocodile’s tail, which shows that the grade is too low.

Even if they obtained the secret method, they could not deduce much useful information.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the shadow of the crocodile's tail actually hit Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was hit by such a huge force that he couldn't control his body and flew backwards!

"Bang!" Ao Chun looked nervous and slammed the wine glass in his hand onto the table.

This attracted the attention of several people nearby, who were somewhat puzzled as to why she was so nervous.

After retreating thousands of feet, Chen Mu finally managed to stabilize his body. His face was as pale as paper, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his lips.

Although he looked so embarrassed, he was extremely satisfied in his heart.

"Your body is extraordinary, and your elixir light is even more outstanding. Even the innate magical power of the middle stage of the Golden Core only caused me minor injuries..."

He pondered for a moment, then waved his hand to dispel the golden elixir light beside him.

He changed his mind and stopped escaping just now, just to make the play more realistic and to test the power of his own Dan Guang.

The result did not disappoint him. The Dan Guang of the initial stage was already comparable to divine power...

"The Golden Core has nine transformations, and each transformation makes it stronger. Nowadays, cultivators who can surpass me are probably rare."

"not dead!"

The crocodile demon looked astonished and was really unwilling to believe it.

If his opponent was another talented demon, he would be no match for him, but Chen Mu was just a weak human cultivator whose realm was lower than his, yet he was able to block his magical power...

He could already imagine that once the situation here was reported back to the clan, the elders would be extremely disappointed in him and would no longer allocate resources to him.

"Damn human wild monkey!"

Thinking about the future, he no longer cared about the Dragon Palace's selection of a son-in-law. He was determined to kill Chen Mu and prove himself.

"Die!"

He shouted loudly, and the huge axe in his hand was thrown out, slashing towards Chen Mu like a flywheel. His body was approaching at an extremely fast speed, and he swung out two crocodile tail phantoms in succession!
“I’m fighting like hell…”

The eyes of the monsters lit up as they watched. They loved to see such fighting scenes, and they were not interested in the petty fights.

Chen Mu remained calm, and secretly glanced at the eldest princess who was sitting at the top. He saw that her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she was obviously not happy with the chaos in front of her.

A thought struck him, and he immediately formed a seal with his right hand. The next moment, thunder rumbled faintly in the sky, and three-colored spiritual light shone brightly, filling the entire Taoist platform.

"Thunder magic?" Prime Minister Gui, who was sitting at the head of the table, had a slight flicker in his eyes. "Why is there a hint of thunder energy..."

While he was thinking, the Three Elements Divine Thunder had already manifested into lightning, hovering on the dome like a three-colored calamity cloud.

A powerful oppressive force permeated the Taoist platform. The Jindan demon cultivators with deep cultivation were better off, but the fish demon servants who were only at the Foundation Establishment stage were unable to resist and lay on the ground trembling.

The Three Elements Divine Thunder was already comparable to a magical power, and now after being smelted by the origin of the golden elixir, its power far exceeds before.

"You can't even stop my Three Elements Divine Thunder, right?"

Chen Mu muttered inwardly and pointed his hand at the crocodile monster in front of him.

"Boom!"

With a sudden loud noise, the Three Elements Divine Thunder turned into a world-destroying thunder, pressing down with the force of thunder!

"Bang bang bang!"

Under the lightning, neither the giant axe nor the crocodile tail could last for a moment and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The crocodile demon's eyes reflected three colors of light, and for the first time, it truly felt the breath of death.

"Roar……"

Without giving it much thought, he looked up to the sky and roared, his body suddenly growing larger, transforming into a giant ancient crocodile that was over three hundred feet long!
If it weren't for the Taoist master's mysterious powers, he would have collapsed long ago.

"boom!"

The three-colored divine thunder didn't care whether he showed his true form or not, and it struck directly on his body, instantly stirring up thousands of feet of lightning threads, which connected into a line and flowed around the giant crocodile's body.

The giant crocodile roared in pain and rolled over. It wanted to use its true body to display its innate magical powers, but its demon soul was firmly frightened by the Yi Mu Positive Thunder among the Three Elements Divine Thunder, and it could not be distracted.

"Okay, Chen Mu wins."

Prime Minister Gui waved his hand and immediately dispelled Chen Mu's thunder magic. At the same time, healed most of the giant crocodile's injuries and restored its human form.

The method was brilliant, yet it was so understated. Chen Mu was startled, and he became more aware of the gap between Yuanying and Jindan, which seemed like the difference between heaven and earth...

"A human cultivator actually won! This crocodile kid is so useless!"

"Why, if you were to face that thunder technique, would you be sure of victory?"

"His cultivation is only at the early stage of the Golden Core stage, so why is his thunder technique so powerful?"

"Lei Qi, this boy's thunder magic... compared to your Lei Peng clan's innate magical powers, which is stronger?"

……

The crocodile demon was extremely angry, but since Prime Minister Gui had taken action, it meant that the fight was over, so he could only bow and retreat, staring at Chen Mu's back with a pair of fierce eyes, and it seemed that he had forgotten the feeling of being on the verge of death just now.

Chen Mu seemed oblivious. Suddenly, he said, "Senior Gui, I just overspent and am seriously injured. I no longer have the strength to fight. So... please allow me to withdraw from this grand event of recruiting a son-in-law."

As soon as these words came out, the demons all turned their gazes, their expressions varied. Some thought he knew when to retreat and wouldn't fight with the demons for the dragon girl, while others looked down on him, thinking he was afraid...

Prime Minister Gui didn't think anything of it. He frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"

Chen Mu nodded.

Of course, he was certain that now that he had received the imperial edict, he had fulfilled his promise. Why would he bother competing with those demon cultivators who had reached the perfect golden elixir realm for the illusory position of the Dragon Palace's ideal son-in-law?

The example of Master Hengyun is right before our eyes. Without a powerful background, the so-called son-in-law from the Dragon Palace would not be that noble.

After all, Fushan Changhe is the sect of a certain clan, not just one family. Even if he becomes the son-in-law of the Dragon Palace, he cannot give him much help. It is better for him to be free and at ease without any worries.

Prime Minister Gui pondered for a moment, then looked at Ao Yi: "What does Princess Yi mean?"

A wave of emotion flashed in Ao Yi's eyes. After looking at Chen Mu deeply for a moment, he smiled slightly and said, "Just do as he wishes."

"Thank you, Senior, and thank you, Princess..."

Chen Mu felt relieved and immediately bowed and slowly retreated.

The monsters looked at his figure, and talked to each other, with mixed opinions.

"Wait a minute!"

But just as Chen Mu was about to step down, a voice suddenly came from the audience.

Chen Mu frowned slightly and turned to look upwards.

The group of monsters were also startled, and looked in the direction of the sound with great interest.

Ao Liekong, dressed in a purple robe, slowly stood up with an admiring smile on his face. He said loudly, "Daoyou Chen, why are you so humble? Judging from your injuries, they don't seem too serious..."
