Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 74 Subduing the Dragon and Slaying the Flood Dragon (Seeking monthly votes~)

The vast sky grew even clearer, and strands of golden light shone down, illuminating the riverbank.

But the river remained serene and still; the sunlight falling on the water seemed to dissolve into thick ink, failing to create even the slightest ripple.

"Are you still adjusting your breathing?"

Gu Nanzhi sat in the dense forest, her gaze passing over the corpse of the mountain-crushing dragon beside her and looking toward the slender young man on the shore.

His gaze lingered on Lin Shujun's handsome profile.

After a whole night, the other person's complexion not only did not improve, but was even paler and more pained than before.

That domineering secret technique came at such a high price!

Gu Nanzhi opened the medicine box and gently touched the delicate dragon bone plum with her fingertips, suddenly feeling a surge of emotions.

Lin Shu's master's personality is probably even more ruthless than she imagined.

It was just a trial, yet it drove someone to this state.

If the other party is like this, how can I possibly relax?

"Ugh."

She sighed.

The time has dragged on for too long, and it is now dawn. If any member of the Blackwater Gang returns to the North City, they will discover the strangeness of Chenlong Hall.

-

If the two, both in dire straits, were blocked outside the North City by the remaining two dragons, they would be doomed.

Thinking of this, she gave up the idea of ​​taking the Dragon Bone Plum back to refine it into a pill.

A wisp of sword energy emerged from his fingertips as he prepared to take out the medicinal liquid and first suppress the chaotic energy within his body.

Just then, a blinding golden light suddenly entered her eyes.

The golden light was intense, and it rose into the air.

It was as if another blazing sun had appeared in the sky!

A nine-foot-wide ball of fire swept in from afar, hanging high above the riverbank, its brilliance forming a curtain that swiftly swept across the land.

Even Gu Nanzhi, who was hiding in the dense forest, found herself covered in specks of golden light.

Her expression changed drastically, and she abruptly stood up: "Golden Sun Demon-Subduing Talisman?!"

The appearance of the Dragon Bone Plum was already bizarre, and now this celestial talisman floating in the sky finally shattered the last shred of illusion in Gu Nanzhi's heart.

The immortal descendant who wanted to devour Blackwater City did not simply trap it and then abandon it.

Instead, they left behind a pair of eyes, watching them and the others at all times!

Chi Chi.

The black mist covered the county magistrate's fair neck like fine veins.

This was a manifestation of the backlash she suffered from forcibly mobilizing her spiritual power again, but she couldn't care less about that now.

The golden sun in the sky is a talisman for gathering demons.

The golden luster that clung to him was like a conspicuous mark.

As long as you are still within the range of this talisman, you will have nowhere to hide and will only have one way to fight back!

At this moment, the sound of two footsteps gradually became clearer.

"interesting."

Cheng Yi made a hand seal with one hand, no longer showing the tiredness he used to yawn.

His face was indifferent, only the slight twitching of his eyebrows revealed the almost insane killing intent in his heart.

Ha, someone actually dares to covet the magical artifacts in the river.

His master forbade him from easily interfering in the city's affairs, intending to refine the purest despair and resentment to help this superior magic artifact develop sentience.

However, there is only one exception.

That means someone dared to covet this treasure.

"call."

Cheng Yi walked slowly, as if he had been freed from all his shackles.

He was no longer satisfied with the shock he received from revealing his identity.

Now, he finally had the opportunity to let these lowly rogue cultivators glimpse the true abilities of the immortal sect disciples.

"Gu Nanzhi?"

Following the golden light, Fu Hailong quickly spotted the beautiful woman in the dense forest.

She stared at the thin black veins on the other person's neck, clearly indicating that they had just experienced a brutal magical battle.

Then he looked at the half-open square box in the man's hand.

The fat dragon's body suddenly trembled.

"My husband!!"

She let out a mournful scream.

The two had been companions since their youth, venturing out together, learning skills together, and then jointly establishing the Blackwater Gang.

In order to secure her position, Daoshanlong was willing to submit to Cheng Yi.

But now, my husband has been murdered by this county magistrate!

'

Gu Nanzhi pressed her red lips together tightly, but dark red blood still seeped from the corners of her lips.

Fortunately, the disordered spiritual energy was managed to be mobilized.

He had already struggled immensely fighting the Mountain Dragon alone, and even when ambushed, he was unable to defeat it.

Given his current state of utter exhaustion, the chances of stopping two Foundation Establishment cultivators, one of whom possessed immortal techniques, were so slim that there was no hope whatsoever.

In her panic, Gu Nanzhi looked towards the riverbank again.

The young man seemed oblivious to anything amiss, his eyes tightly closed, still focused on recuperating.

If this young man can still perform at the same level as he does at night.

If they risked their lives and joined forces, they might be able to break through the encirclement, send the message back to the county government, and summon the two officials for help.

But now...it's all over!

The immortal descendant will definitely protect Lin Shu, but will he also protect himself in the process?

Thinking of the cold indifference He showed when He set up this trial.

Gu Nanzhi gradually lost confidence.

A fierce, desperate look involuntarily appeared on his face.

Eyes facing each other.

The two women's killing intent collided invisibly, but was suddenly overwhelmed by an even more chilling aura.

One had lost her husband, and the other was in dire straits, but their intense emotions paled in comparison to the sudden surge of rage in the remaining man.

"Why you?"

The Golden Sun Demon-Subduing Talisman only found two people.

Cheng Yi stopped and looked at the figure sitting cross-legged with his back to him on the riverbank.

He did indeed admire the other person's greed and arrogance.

That's because this person has too narrow a vision; he poses neither a threat to himself nor helps the immortal decree given by his master.

However, this does not mean that this person can take advantage of his favor and act arrogantly, doing whatever he wants!

Cheng Yi had never imagined that this ferocious wolf's greed had reached the point where, with only a mere Qi Refining cultivation level, it dared to plot such things.

Even he, a disciple of the immortals, dared not covet such a precious treasure!

"I offered you the position of gang leader, but you refused."

"I promised you Blackwater City, but you didn't want it."

"I thought you had such lofty ambitions, but it turns out what you wanted was to die?"

Cheng Yi seemed to find it particularly absurd, and even his laughter became hoarse.

His eyes instantly turned sharp, and his voice, high-pitched and full of sarcasm, said, "Fine! Since you want to see what's in the river, then I'll let you see it. Just don't regret it after you die."

He was just a Qi Refining cultivator who could be easily crushed, but he was unwilling to let the other party die so easily.

Since it dares to defy me, then let this greedy wolf open its eyes wide and see clearly what kind of being it is facing!

next moment.

Cheng Yi suddenly pulled out a handful of waking pills and stuffed them into his mouth.

Consciousness began to connect with the divine thoughts left by the Master.

After making a humble request as was customary, he slowly raised his palm, exuding an aura of authority over the life and death of the entire city.

With this movement, ripples suddenly appeared on the dead, dark river surface.

The great river that envelops the entire city and its southern suburbs is enveloped in wisps of mist.

These wisps of fog converged toward the riverbank at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

In an instant, the water surged violently, and a piercing dragon's roar rose from below, echoing along the riverbank.

"hold head high!"

The long, drawn-out cry alone caused Fu Hailong to stagger back two steps.

Gu Nanzhi, who was already suffering from hidden injuries, couldn't help but spit out a metallic taste from her throat: "Pfft."

Feeling the spiritual energy surging within her body again, she dared not hesitate any longer and directly condensed several sword energies, shooting them towards the river-crossing dragon on the riverbank!

Click, click.

Cheng Yi didn't even turn his head, and with a wave of his sleeve, he dispersed the illusory sword energy.

He stared coldly at the young man who was trying to remain calm.

Whoosh!

Amidst the roar of a dragon, a black shadow ten zhang long stirred up surging waves, and its enormous and awe-inspiring body leaped out of the water.

The ferocious creature that had besieged Blackwater City for ten years has finally revealed its true form!

This is a magnificent and ferocious dragon!

Its entire body was black, its head was ferocious, and a hint of violent intelligence was already faintly revealed in its narrow eyes.

Its scales are so clear they look real, its four paws are as sharp as eagle claws, and its thick tail is covered with vertical scales, making it look like a cruel weapon.

The moment the evil dragon appeared, Gu Nanzhi stood there stunned, her face drained of color.

The fear from ten years ago surged back into her mind, causing her to tremble violently.

Compared to back then, the terrifying aura emanating from this object has nearly doubled, and it has already subtly detached itself from the object, approaching the level of a magic weapon!

Gu Nanzhi almost gave up the idea of ​​resisting.

This is something that cultivators at their level simply cannot find a way to deal with.

The difference is just too great.

"Kill them!"

Cheng Yi grinned maliciously and pressed his palm down.

His hand had already pressed down, but the room was deathly silent.

The evil dragon hung in the air, as if its left and right brains were fighting each other, cracking sounds erupting from its body, but it remained motionless.

This bizarre scene suddenly silenced the riverbank.

"Um?

After a few moments of stunned silence, Gu Nanzhi quickly came to her senses.

As if remembering something, she was overjoyed and looked around.

Perhaps this magical artifact was too ferocious, and that immortal descendant finally couldn't help but make a move?

Fu Hailong looked at the man beside him with a somewhat blank expression.

She didn't understand why this had happened.

Cheng Yi looked at the dragon in mid-air with surprise and uncertainty.

Clearly, the strange appearance of this magical artifact was also beyond his expectations.

A moment later, his face twitched twice, and he finally realized what the change he had just noticed was.

This fiend actually dared to damage this rare and superior magic artifact!

Thinking of this, Cheng Yi's expression became as somber as the Black River before him, as if it could drip water.

"Those tigers are right, you're just a rebellious, stupid dog, you deserve to be skinned alive!"

If I hadn't reacted quickly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

A surge of rage, mixed with fear of his master's punishment, rushed into his mind.

He let out a long roar, strode forward, and naturally brought his sword fingers together.

All that remained in his eyes was the purest, most ruthless killing intent.

A fierce wind howled, and the riverbank was suddenly whipped up in layers.

Like invisible steel blades sweeping through the air, they converged, their momentum terrifying.

"Ho!" Gu Nanzhi looked surprised, and the joy that had just arisen was instantly suppressed by the strong wind.

Even without the help of that evil dragon, this dragon crossing the river was still stronger than it was back then.

He is clearly a cultivator who has been immersed in the immortal sects for many years!

Lin Shu sat cross-legged on the riverbank, her eyes slightly closed.

The frail figure seemed ready to be buried by the gale in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, a wisp of translucent black mist suddenly appeared out of thin air.

It swelled against the wind, dancing wildly amidst the dense flashes of blades, like surging flames, and rapidly rose to a height of three zhang, enveloping the young man's figure within it.

Chi Chi.

Two eerie dark red orbs lit up, like the eyes of some colossal creature, indifferently gazing down at the riverbank.

At the same time, a powerful aura swept out from his body, causing the wind blades above his head to stop in unison.

""

"It's finally done."

After a relentless and exhausting assault in the dead of night, the divine thought was finally shattered.

Lin Shu's complexion gradually returned to normal.

He opened his clear eyes and glanced back casually through the layers of wind.

It was just that simple look in his eyes.

Cheng Yi, who had been so aggressive, suddenly felt a sharp heart palpitation.

His first reaction was to dodge, but he immediately dismissed the idea and instinctively summoned the Mind-Cleansing and Protective Talisman.

A shimmering light protected his brow.

Hurry!

There was clearly nothing in the arena, yet a dull thud resounded.

Cheng Yi didn't feel any force; he was simply thrown back several feet by inertia. He then stared blankly at the ground until he felt warm tears on his face.

He reached out and touched it, looking at the red between his fingers, his trembling pupils filled with horror.

, 7

The other two women in the room also fell silent.

Blood was flowing uncontrollably from the eyes, nasal cavity, and ear canals of this dragon that had crossed the river.

The once powerful gale quietly dissipated, clearly unable to maintain the spell.

This is—a foundation-building technique that specializes in cultivating the soul!

Fu Hailong's breathing became much more rapid. She had thought that the man beside her was the most powerful cultivator in the city.

Unexpectedly, there are people who possess even rarer techniques.

Moreover, the sheer power of this person's spiritual energy is astonishing.

Why would such a small city like Blackwater gather so many powerful individuals who live in anonymity?

"What are you still looking at? That woman surnamed Gu is just putting on a brave face. Ignore her and kill this stupid dog!"

Cheng Yi roared in terror, swallowing one Awakening Pill after another until he reached for nothing.

He never expected that Lin Shu, with her background, would be able to use such cunning methods.

I suffered a great loss due to a moment of carelessness and urgently need time to recover.

Fortunately, I brought Fu Hailong with me. Although Gu Nanzhi was also on the other side, the county magistrate had obviously lost his fighting ability and was not a threat.

"Uh... okay."

Under his years of tyranny, Fu Hailong dared not question him. Suppressing his shock and doubt, he forcibly mobilized his spiritual power and ran towards the riverbank.

Gu Nanzhi subconsciously tried to gather sword energy to block it, but just as she raised her arm, she froze in mid-air.

Because the fat dragon had stopped, swallowed rapidly, and stared blankly at the riverbank.

"call."

Before anyone knew it, the young man had stood up.

Against the backdrop of the raging black flames, his slightly haggard face remained pale.

The pain in my brow has long since faded.

Lin Shu stood calmly in place, seemingly frail, but the two scarlet orbs of light in mid-air added a strong sense of evil to him.

The real reason that stopped Fu Hailong was not just the powerful and menacing aura emanating from the other party.

The ferocious and terrifying dragon finally lost its previous stiffness, its body rapidly rolling and then coiling up its massive form, hovering behind the young man.

"You—you're being too presumptuous! This is my master's magical artifact!"

Cheng Yi raised his head, his shoulders trembling, not with anger, but with extreme fear.

He tried desperately to contact that divine thought, but found that he couldn't communicate with it no matter what he did; it was as if the other party had simply vanished.

"oh."

Lin Shu took a step forward without commenting.

Enveloped in black flames, he casually extended his right palm.

All eyes in the room were on that fair and slender hand.

Cheng Yi pressed his palm earlier to command the evil dragon to attack. Could it be that Lin Shu has really mastered the magic weapon and can do the same thing?

Boom! Boom!

With the youth's subtle movements, the evil dragon suddenly dissipated into black mist, surging downwards like a long river.

The air currents gathered between his five fingers, transforming into a three-foot-long sword blade shrouded in mist, entirely ethereal yet exuding an indescribable, violent killing intent.

"It's a sword?!"

Cheng Yi's eyes widened. He had been taking care of this treasure for ten whole years, yet he had never known about it.

Even more terrifyingly, the sword actually fell into the hands of the other party on its own initiative.

Lin Shu gripped the sword hilt, her steps steady.

A series of piercing screams echoed from the ethereal sword blade.

The Filthy Moon Wolf Lord's magic power raged around him, and three-zhang-tall black flames soared into the sky, vaguely forming the outline of a wolf.

The talisman, which was enveloped by the golden sun in mid-air, was gradually obscured by two balls of red flames, and its body, of unknown material, trembled and shattered.

The riverbank became even darker than before, leaving only Lin Shu's swaying figure.

He walked up to the dragon that had crossed the river.

"Don't come any closer!"

As expected of someone from a celestial sect, Cheng Yi retreated step by step, but in his flustered wave of his sleeve, both the magic incantation and the celestial talisman took effect.

It transformed into a cyan-purple spiritual curtain in front of him, resembling an indestructible barrier.

At the same time, he repeatedly made hand seals, using his remaining strength to condense several gusts of wind in order to force the attackers back while defending himself.

Snip!

The translucent, wolf-shaped black flames trembled slightly, easily dispersing the gale.

Lin Shu had never used any magical artifacts, not even a sword.

Therefore, this ethereal sword-shaped magical artifact was more like a machete in his hands.

There was no intention to continue with any more nonsense.

A ferocious expression appeared on the young man's fair and handsome face.

He gripped the sword hilt rather roughly, and the three-foot-long blade slashed down fiercely!

With a crisp sound, the purplish-blue spiritual barrier shattered layer by layer, like glass exploding.

The longsword pierced Cheng Yi's left shoulder, cut into the man's chest, and then leaped out from his right waist.

scoff!

The sword's edge stirred up a wave of blood, and the staggering figure was split in two, half of his body falling to the ground with a thud.

"ah!!

""

Cheng Yi dragged his half-body along, desperately bracing himself against the ground with his remaining right arm, his elbow scraped raw and bloody by the gravel, but he dared not stop.

He raised his head in despair, staring wide-eyed at the figure in front of him.

The pride he held in his heart as a disciple of the immortals finally crumbled at this moment.

Even if you put all your prized possessions together, how could they compare to the sword in the other person's hand?

He just couldn't understand why his master's magical artifacts were so obediently controlled by the other party.

How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator possibly do this!

"No—no—"

Cheng Yi stopped wriggling, forcefully waving his right arm and letting out a strange cry, trying to beg for mercy, but he was too terrified to utter a complete sentence.

His entire body was covered by the shadow of the black flame wolf.

Amidst this raging inferno, the young man slowly came to a stop.

Lin Shu calmly raised her arm again, and the red light in mid-air became even more dazzling, exuding a bloodthirsty cruelty.

The next moment, the sword, carrying a terrifying aura, pierced through.

Click!

The longsword pierced through Cheng Yi's face and emerged from the back of his head!

[Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, while those who repair bridges and roads leave no trace; killing a mere mortal earns a reward of two strings of cash.]

"6

Lin Shu drew his longsword, pondered for a moment, and felt that something was not right.

Even if his own cultivation level was insufficient, even if he borrowed the power of the Radiant Moon Wolf Lord, he could only unleash about 30% of the power of the Ink Dragon Sword Bracelet.

But after all, it is a magical artifact capable of imprisoning the entire Blackwater City; it shouldn't just be a little sharper than ordinary weapons.

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Shu turned slightly and looked at Fu Hailong, who was standing there dumbfounded in the distance.

He suddenly released his grip, his sleeves fluttering slightly.

call out!

The ethereal longsword suddenly flew out of his hand, transforming into a jet-black sword light that roared across the sky, leaving a trail of shadows over ten feet long as it flew straight into the distance.

"Spare me!"

As Fu Hailong watched the sword light soaring towards him, the terrifying figure of that evil dragon was reflected again in his pupils.

She was as if she were being targeted by some kind of terrifying monster, her body stiff as a wooden stake.

The sword shadows were too fast; not only was it impossible to escape, but it was also impossible to even move a fingertip. Furthermore, the spiritual power within the body was frozen by the baleful aura.

The moment the words left his mouth, the fat dragon felt a chill on his skin.

She lowered her head in a daze:

'

rustling—

As Lin Shu waved, the roaring sword light swept back.

The object wrapped around his wrist, transforming into the shape of a dragon, its entire body as black as ink jade, with traces of scarlet within.

"So that's how it's used."

He lowered his eyes thoughtfully, then reached out and gently stroked the cool bracelet with his fingertips.

at the same time.

A muffled thud suddenly came from the riverbank. Before the stunned Fu Hailong could even react, his massive chest and abdomen had already been torn apart by the sword shadows, exploding into a cloud of blood mist on the spot!
