Chapter 764 The Golden Horned Dragon Saint Appears [Please Subscribe]

Qinglian Peak.

After Zhou Chun escaped the pursuit of the Blue Flood Dragon King, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and fled straight back to Qinglian Peak.

Luo Qingni, who was stationed at Qinglian Peak, looked at him in astonishment upon seeing his disheveled appearance and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, what powerful enemy have you encountered? Why do you look so pale?"

"I did indeed provoke a powerful demon king, and I was lucky to escape with my life!"

Zhou Chun gave a wry smile, but didn't hide anything and readily admitted it.

This answer shocked Luo Qingni even more.

Because now everyone knows that Zhou Chun is already a powerful cultivator at the level of a Grand Master, and he can even hold his own against a Grand Master at the late Nascent Soul stage.

But now Zhou Chun says he was lucky to have escaped death from a powerful demon king, which greatly shocked Luo Qingni, who knew his strength!

"Let's not talk about this now. I have important matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer, Qingni. We'll discuss the details later!"

Just as Luo Qingni was about to ask for more details, Zhou Chun waved his hand and stopped her from speaking.

Then he went straight back to his cave.

Once he returned to his cave, he immediately released his several demon king spirit pets, allowing them to rest, heal, and recover their magical power and vitality.

He himself sent messages to Venerable Yuanyang and the avatar of Venerable Taigeng, briefly explaining what he had done behind enemy lines and specifically mentioning that he and his spirit pet had been severely injured by the Blue Flood Dragon King's raging waves.

As for what I gained, that's something I can't talk about proactively, and I certainly can't answer truthfully even if asked!

After completing the report, Zhou Chun took the pill and sat down to meditate.

On the other side, after receiving Zhou Chun's message, Venerable Yuanyang glanced at the avatar of Divine Venerable Taigeng, who had also received the message, and couldn't help but smile faintly, saying, "Fellow Daoist Taigeng has also received Fellow Daoist Zhou's message, hasn't he? I wonder what your opinion is on this matter?"

Upon hearing this, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord immediately replied without hesitation, "Of course it should be announced to boost morale and let others know that we have not been inactive in taking countermeasures, and that we have not truly stood idly by while the demon race ravaged our rear!"

"Fellow Daoist Tai Geng makes a good point, but if this happens, I'm afraid many of the younger generation will be jealous of Fellow Daoist Zhou's achievements!"

Venerable Yuanyang's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable frowned slightly and glanced at him before resolutely stating, "A person who doesn't attract envy is mediocre. If anyone is jealous of Fellow Daoist Zhou's gains, then they may request to plunder the demon race's rear. I will certainly approve and support them!"

Seeing his strong support for Zhou Chun, Venerable Yuanyang refrained from saying anything more.

He could only nod and say, "In that case, let's proceed as Fellow Daoist Tai Geng has suggested."

After saying that, she changed the subject and continued, "You saw what happened when that blue dragon came over, Fellow Daoist Tai Geng. Even Fellow Daoist Zhou was severely injured by it. Golden Horn also appointed it to guard the rear base, which shows how strong it is. If it also joins the attack, I'm afraid the situation will be very unfavorable for us!"

Upon hearing this, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord immediately said with a cold expression, "If he also joins the attack, I will use that sword to cut him down and let Golden Horn know the pain!"

After speaking, he turned his gaze and looked at Venerable Yuanyang with a meaningful look, saying, "As for you, Fellow Daoist Yuanyang, not making a move for so long is a bit too disrespectful to our human race! Don't you even have the courage to fight Golden Horn?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Yuanyang's expression immediately changed drastically, and he glared at him angrily, saying, "Fellow Daoist Taigeng, what do you mean by that? The energy between me and Golden Horn is mutually restraining; clearly, inaction is better than action!"

However, since the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord had uttered such words, he was clearly prepared for his anger. His expression remained unchanged as he replied in a deep voice, "That's not necessarily true! If Fellow Daoist Yuan Yang doesn't act, Jin Jiao might still think our human race is easy to bully, believing we dare not fight him with our full strength. He will most likely continue to reinforce his troops to test our limits!"

"On the contrary, if Fellow Daoist Yuanyang were to actively seek battle, demonstrating the attitude and confidence of our human race, Golden Horn might, after weighing the pros and cons, voluntarily withdraw its troops!"

This strong statement caused Venerable Yuanyang's expression to darken considerably, and he stared at him without saying a word for a moment.

After a long silence, Venerable Yuanyang slowly said, "I am very grateful that Fellow Daoist Taigeng has come to help. However, it seems that I do not need your guidance on how to command this war!"

"Of course, I am certainly not qualified to instruct you, Fellow Daoist Yuanyang!"

The avatar of the Tai Geng God nodded and replied calmly.

He then shook his head and said, "However, I cannot agree with Fellow Daoist Yuanyang's current approach to this war. If you still do not intend to change your mind, I am afraid the consequences will be unpredictable!"

"There's no need for Fellow Daoist Tai Geng to trouble yourself with that. I know what I'm doing!"

Venerable Yuanyang waved his hand and said in a solemn voice.

Upon hearing this, the avatar of the Tai Geng God Venerable stopped talking, nodded to him, and went to his resting place to meditate.

Zhou Chun quickly received a reply from Venerable Yuanyang, instructing him to rest and recover while awaiting further arrangements.

This put his mind at ease, and he immediately settled down to rest at home.

In order to make it seem as if he was indeed seriously injured, he stayed at home for the next few days and did not even see Luo Qingni.

After resting for a few days, Zhou Chun and his spirit pets finally regained their full magical power.

As for the various physical injuries, it's impossible for them to fully recover so quickly; they're just steadily improving.

But just as Zhou Chun had finished resting and was preparing to take stock of his gains from the Dragon Abyss trip, a warning message from Venerable Yuanyang arrived in his hands.

His expression changed drastically immediately after reading the message.

It turns out that after learning the details from the Blue Flood Dragon King, the "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" discovered that it was the one who had gone deep into the Dragon Abyss to cause trouble, he immediately sent the Ice and Fire Demon Ape and the other aggrieved demon kings to the Azure Lotus Mountains to cause him trouble!

Because of the presence of the Blue Dragon King's raging waves, Venerable Yuan Yang was unable to send anyone to provide support, so he was instructed to prepare and withstand the pressure.

"That's ridiculous! Withstand the pressure? How am I supposed to withstand the pressure? With my life?"

Zhou Chun laughed in exasperation, feeling both shocked and furious.

He claimed to be ill and stayed at home because he didn't want to go to the front lines to face those aggrieved people and demon kings, lest he be ganged up on.

Now that they've come to him in groups to seek revenge, Venerable Yuanyang is telling him to watch his step. How can he not be furious!

Previously, the incarnation of the God Tai Geng had told him not to worry about the demon race's revenge, and to go ahead and plunder the demon race without worry.

It's only been less than half a month, we can't just call it off now!

In his shock and anger, Zhou Chun immediately sent a message to the avatar of Tai Geng God Venerable, solemnly stating that he and his spirit pet were both injured and could not possibly be a match for the Ice and Fire Demon Ape. If there was no support, they might have to abandon the mountain gate and flee far away!

At the same time, he sent a message to Venerable Yuanyang seeking help, repeatedly explaining that he was seriously injured and earnestly requesting that the other party send someone to provide assistance!

After sending the message, Zhou Chun immediately came out of seclusion and summoned several Nascent Soul stage cultivators and two elders who remained in the mountain gate, and told them about the warning he had just received.

Of course, he wouldn't say that those demon kings came to take revenge on him; he would only say that the demon race was coming in a fierce manner and that everyone should prepare for a tough battle.

As expected, when they heard that the Ice-Fire Demon Ape was leading several demon kings toward the Azure Lotus Mountains, the remaining Nascent Soul cultivators all changed their expressions and panicked.

These cultivators had all witnessed firsthand the strength that the Ice-Fire Demon Ape had previously displayed.

Now that Zhou Chun is seriously injured, how can these few people stop the enemy?

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, has Senior Yuanyang arranged for reinforcements? We can't possibly rely on just the few of us to stop that peerless demonic ape!"

The Nascent Soul cultivator surnamed Chen, who had been left behind in the Azure Lotus Mountains due to severe damage to his vital energy, was in the most panicked state at this moment. He immediately couldn't help but ask Zhou Chun about the situation of the reinforcements.

Zhou Chun replied in a low voice, "I have already inquired with Senior Yuan Yang and Senior Tai Geng for assistance, and I expect they will reply soon!"

This answer immediately chilled the hearts of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators even further.

They all knew that since Venerable Yuanyang had sent a warning but had not offered any reinforcements, they were afraid that even if they sent a message for help, it would likely be ignored!

"What should I do! What should I do?!"

The Nascent Soul cultivator surnamed Chen muttered to himself, his gaze involuntarily turning to Zhou Chun, clearly hoping that Zhou Chun could step forward and come up with a solution.

But Zhou Chun chose to remain silent, as if she had not heard his words.

After a while, a signal flame flew into the main hall and arrived in front of Zhou Chun.

He reached out and took the message by the light, and quickly read its contents.

"Hold on for one hour. If reinforcements do not arrive by then, you may retreat on your own!"

This message came from the avatar of the God Tai Geng, and can be considered a response to Zhou Chun.

However, no message came from Venerable Yuanyang. It is unknown whether this was the intention of the incarnation of Venerable Taigeng.

In short, this response didn't completely satisfy Zhou Chun, but it did shut him up a bit.

At least his plea for help didn't completely go unanswered.

After a series of changes in his expression, he relayed the reply from the avatar of the Tai Geng God.

After hearing the news he relayed, the Nascent Soul cultivator surnamed Chen and the others, like him, had shifting expressions and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Alright, that's the situation. Fellow Daoists, please go back and make your preparations!"

Zhou Chun then waved his hand, ending the meeting.

After everyone had dispersed, he immediately said to Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, "The situation is still unclear, so we should make plans as soon as possible. Before those demon kings arrive, let's arrange for some of our family's elite members to leave. If we really can't hold them off, we'll have no choice but to abandon this mountain gate for the time being!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde immediately replied in a deep voice, "Zhengchun, you make the arrangements. As long as you are still in the family, everything we've lost can be taken back!"

So Zhou Chun immediately had some members of the Purple Mansion stage and Foundation Establishment stage clansmen quietly leave the mountain gate, and had Lord Fushan send them to a hidden underground palace a thousand miles away.

The Zhou family established underground secret residences like these, used for refuge, throughout the Jing Kingdom.

These underground secret chambers were not set up with any formations, but they were all located thousands of feet underground. As long as you hid in them, you would hardly have to worry about being discovered by anyone on the surface.

However, the Ice and Fire Demon Ape and other demon kings arrived at the Azure Lotus Mountain Range even faster than Zhou Chun had anticipated, clearly because they all hated him intensely!

"Damn human cultivator, how dare you steal my treasures while I was away! Today I will devour you alive and exterminate your entire race!!"

Outside the Zhou Family Mountain gate, the Ice and Fire Demon Ape arrived with five demon kings and immediately roared angrily to vent his rage.

Before his shout had even finished, he immediately launched an attack.

Things are different now. There are no more than ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators on Qinglian Peak, and he is not alone.

Faced with the attacks of the Ice-Fire Demon Ape and the other demon kings, Zhou Chun could only work with his spirit pets to intercept and neutralize the Ice-Fire Demon Ape's attacks, leaving the other demon kings to be dealt with by Luo Qingni and the other four early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, because there was no pressure from the combined fire of more than ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators this time, the Ice-Fire Demon Ape did not need to choose long-range bombardment at all, and directly came to the edge of the mountain protection formation in its main body.

The attacks from Zhou Chun and his spirit pets could only intercept and neutralize a portion of his attacks; many of them still landed on the mountain-protecting formation.

Because of the close proximity, many of the supernatural powers that Zhou Chun and his spirit pets used on him would also affect the mountain-protecting formation.

This resulted in the protective mountain formation bearing immense pressure.

Moreover, in order to avenge their fallen wives and children, the other demon kings also used their incredibly fierce true forms to approach the edge of the protective mountain formation and unleash a fierce attack on it, bringing considerable pressure.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Chun had no other choice but to do everything he could to delay the inevitable.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, an hour should not be a problem!

At the same time, just as the Ice-Fire Demon Ape led a group of demon kings to attack the Zhou family, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable also led a group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Moon Wheel Sect to launch a counterattack.

At this moment, the number of demon kings outside is still slightly more than the number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators on the human side, but the gap is no longer as huge as before.

In order to support this counterattack, Venerable Yuanyang specially bestowed three fifth-order puppets, one of which was even a mid-grade fifth-order puppet!

In this way, the difference in the number of fifth-tier secondary powerhouses between the two sides will be even smaller.

Above the battlefield, the avatar of Tai Geng God Venerable was still alone with his sword, facing his old rival, "Golden Profound Saint Grandson".

The two sides have clashed dozens of times. Although "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" has shown great resilience and adaptability in battle, he is still completely suppressed by him every time, and has to go back to lick his wounds after each battle.

Although the Ice and Fire Demon Ape has left, the arrival of the Blue Flood Dragon King, Raging Waves, has filled the void it left behind.

Although this Dragon King was not in his best condition due to the use of the [True Dragon Shadow] divine power earlier, he still had no problem dealing with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like Xuanzhen Zhenren.

In addition to the giant black python and the returning black dragon girl, the human race still needs Nangong Wuqing to step up in order to keep an eye on these fifth-tier high-grade demon kings.

However, the outcome of this counterattack is destined to be unlike the previous battles, which ended in failure.

Just over a quarter of an hour into the battle, "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" was injured by the incarnation of Tai Geng God Venerable and began to turn to defense. Suddenly, the incarnation of Tai Geng God Venerable turned and pounced on the battlefield where Blue Flood Dragon King was located, becoming one with his sword!

This scene caused "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" to change his expression drastically, and he hurriedly gave chase with all his might.

Blue Flood Dragon King Nu Tao was originally fighting with a human cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. When he saw the avatar of Tai Geng God Venerable coming towards him, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to withdraw.

But at that moment, the human cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage who was fighting him suddenly summoned a blue mirror and unleashed a beam of blue light onto him.

The beam of light was not blocked by his protective divine power; it passed directly through the protective divine power and landed on his dragon body.

Then he felt his magical power stagnate, as if it had been sealed, making it difficult to circulate freely!

After he desperately activated the power of his demon core to dispel the effects of the azure mirror light, the avatar of Tai Geng God Venerable had already appeared a hundred miles away.

Immediately afterwards, a resounding sword cry echoed through the heavens and earth, and a white-gold sword light instantly traversed a hundred miles, directly striking the Blue Flood Dragon King, Nu Tao!

Instantly, a golden dragon scale flew out from the Blue Flood Dragon King's body, transforming into a golden dragon shadow to meet the white-gold sword light.

However, this golden dragon shadow, which should have been unbreakable by anyone within the fifth rank, was destroyed in less than two breaths under the attack of the platinum-gold sword light!

After getting this brief respite, the Blue Flood Dragon King, Nu Tao, instantly activated his life-saving divine power, transforming into a true water dragon composed entirely of blue true water.

However, this divine ability, which could have neutralized a fatal attack, failed to achieve its intended effect under the slash of the white-gold flying sword whose sword light had dissipated.

With a mournful cry, the Blue Dragon King's flesh and blood body reappeared in the sky, its head and body already separated!

However, due to the obstruction of the golden dragon shadow, and because he himself had already developed the [Immortal Body] supernatural power to an extremely high level, and his demon soul and primordial spirit had also been tempered to a certain degree, he did not perish as a result.

The dragon's head, which had been separated from its body, fell backward and was forcibly reattached to its body!

Ok?

Tai Geng, the Divine Lord, frowned, seemingly not expecting his sword strike to fail.

You have to understand that the sword strike just now, in terms of attack power alone, had already reached the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator's strike!

Such an attack is not something that can be easily launched. It is a sword strike that he has been able to unleash after a hundred years of nurturing his sword, based on a secret sword technique and his own sword intent!

If the "Golden Profound Saint Grandson" survived this sword strike, he wouldn't be surprised at all, since the Golden Horned Dragon Saint would definitely bestow upon this descendant a treasure capable of withstanding a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, the fact that the Blue Dragon King, Nu Tao, was able to survive this sword strike was somewhat unexpected for him.

He frowned and then prepared to use his sword to deliver another blow to the Blue Dragon King, Fu Tao.

Just then, a figure flashed in the sky, and a man clad in golden dragon scale armor suddenly appeared above the Blue Flood Dragon King's head, catching the white-gold flying sword that was slashing towards him with a wave of his hand.

Then, golden light surged in his hand, and with a forceful squeeze, he snapped the platinum flying sword in two with a "clang," and then flung the two broken swords at the avatar of the Tai Geng God.

This seemingly casual flick actually contains immense power!

The incarnation of the Tai Geng deity naturally recognized the danger and would not attempt to meet it head-on.

He coughed up blood because his natal flying sword had broken, but in a flash, he disappeared from the spot, avoiding the attack of his natal flying sword.

At the same time, Yuan Yang Venerable, seemingly oblivious, vanished from the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate and reappeared where Tai Geng Divine Venerable's avatar had been. With a wave of his hand, he dissipated the power from the two broken swords and delivered them to Tai Geng Divine Venerable's avatar.

Then he said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Tai Geng, you should go about your business first. I will remember this favor and repay it in the future!"

Upon hearing this, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable did not respond. Instead, he glared sharply at the man who had broken his natal flying sword and said, "Golden Horned Dragon Saint, is it? I will remember this grudge for the broken sword. A thousand years from now, I will surely sweep through Dragon Abyss with my sword and forge this sword anew with your dragon horn!!"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Horned Dragon Saint replied indifferently, "Is that so? I'll remember your words. I hope you won't end up like Yuan Yang, arriving with great fanfare only to slink away in disgrace!"

Upon hearing these words, Venerable Yuanyang, who was directly opposite him, immediately darkened his face and shouted in a deep voice, "Golden Horn, don't be so arrogant! This is not Dragon Abyss. Today, without the home advantage, I will make you leave something behind before you go!"

"You, Yuan Yang, alone? It's not that I look down on you, but even if you cultivate for another thousand years, you still won't be my match!"

Golden Horned Dragon Saint said with a disdainful look.

Then a mocking glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly continued, "No, I think I overestimated you. Yuan Yang, you old codger, you probably won't live for another thousand years! Hahahaha..."

In the end, he burst into laughter, thoroughly mocking his old rival, Venerable Yuanyang.

One can imagine how Yuan Yang Venerable felt being mocked like this in front of countless descendants of both races.

"How dare you, you beast, bully me like this!"

With a furious shout, Venerable Yuanyang immediately launched an attack on Golden Horned Dragon Saint.

Seeing this, both the Nascent Soul stage cultivators on the human side and the demon kings on the demon side fled as fast as they could, leaving the area at full speed.

The aftershocks of a battle between sixth-tier experts can easily kill some fifth-tier experts, and they don't want to die in such a humiliating way!

Meanwhile, the avatar of the God Tai Geng took this opportunity to head to the Qinglian Mountains with his two broken swords.

Although he lost his natal flying sword, he was still a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, so he could still help restrain the Ice-Fire Demon Ape without any problem.

Since he made that promise to Zhou Chun, he will definitely keep it!
