The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

"Long'er, I've come to help you with your cultivation, Long'er, Long'er?"

Chu Luren knocked on the door but no one answered. However, Chu Luren had already heard that Xiaolongnu was standing in front of the door.

At this moment, Xiaolongnu leaned against the door and said, "Go ahead, but if you don't come back, I will keep waiting!"

Xiaolongnu clearly realized that Chu Luren was going to take a risk—she was about to feel the coldness rising in her meridians, but she still refused to let Chu Luren help her, obviously intending to just endure the pain and wait.

“Long’er, listen to me… it’s not that dangerous, you won’t be unable to come back, there’s no need, Long’er…” Chu Luren knocked a few more times.

However, knowing that Xiaolongnu had made up her mind and also knowing her temper, he could only leave her with the words, "Wait for me to come back."

Afterwards, Chu Luren and his fourth brother rushed to the place where the Cold Dragon appeared overnight...

Upon approaching, the two tiptoed, not to find the Cold Dragon, but to go to its "refrigerator," the place where Liao Zili and the others were frozen!

After confirming that Han Chi was not nearby, Chu Luren crept over—if Han Chi happened to be there, Gou Zazhong would lure it away at that moment.

Chu Luren himself stuck to the ice block, and then a layer of ice and snow covered him!

After channeling his extreme cold true energy, Chu Luren was able to freeze himself and, under Mingyutai's perception, maintain a temperature consistent with the surrounding ice walls. Even if the Cold Dragon could sense the temperature, it wouldn't be able to detect anything.

As for whether it will discover that there is an extra person in the "refrigerator"?

Chu Luren bets that it can't count!

Even humans who can count can't tell whether there will be one extra bullfrog in the dry pot, right?

Within the ice wall, Chu Luren entered a state of tortoise breathing, simultaneously entering the Dao Embryo state...

The mongrel stayed in a hidden spot, trying to keep his presence as inconspicuous as possible, ready to come to the rescue immediately should anything happen.

As dawn broke, a cold dragon swam over amidst a wave of snow.

After circling the ice wall, the Cold Dragon opened its blood-red maw as wide as it could—it wouldn't open its mouth this wide during a fight; this was to the point of dislocating its jaw, making it unable to exert any force.

However, since we're eating now, there's no need to worry about exerting force...

The cold dragon raised its body high, standing up to a height of twelve or thirteen zhang, with only two or three zhang on the ground. This proportion caused it to sway slightly. It held the huge ice block in its mouth and lifted it high.

At the same time, the upper and lower jaws opened up as if disassembled, much larger than the body, and then swallowed the whole ice block in one gulp!

The bastard watched nervously from the side, keeping a close eye on Han Chi, ready to make a move if his second brother showed any signs of being unable to escape.

The ice lump was more than twice the thickness of the Cold Dragon's body. After being swallowed, it was clearly visible as it slowly wriggled and slid into its abdomen. However, the Cold Dragon was also secretly exerting force, twisting and turning within its body. From the outside, it could be seen that the ice lump became "thinner" as it slid downwards.

Just as it had swallowed about five or six zhang and was now just a large "bulge", the cold dragon suddenly stopped moving, then swayed violently and fell down, rolling wildly in the snow!

Chapter 891 Life or Death on the Brink

The cold dragon struggled painfully in the snow. When the dog bastard saw this, he rushed over and said, "Good snake, if your stomach hurts, quickly vomit up my second brother. He will only take some of your blood."

Unfortunately, "Good Snake" clearly didn't understand. Instead, in its struggle, it launched an attack on the approaching threat, the bastard.

The bastard dog had no choice but to use the Heaven and Earth Transformation technique to defend itself...

At the same time, inside the belly of the Cold Dragon, Chu Luren immediately noticed the surrounding ice shattering, and revived from his state of apparent death. His true energy transformed into extreme yang and intensity, scorching the Cold Dragon's stomach and intestines like a blazing sun!

The Cold Dragon originally needed to eat food that had been frozen for three days, but after swallowing a large fireball, it immediately began to suffer. The Chu Deer Man pressed his advantage and used the "Golden Top Buddha Lamp" with all his might, transforming it into a blazing Buddha fire, which stimulated the Cold Dragon.

However, it was clear that the Cold Dragon's stomach and intestines were much tougher than the Chu deer people had imagined.

Being unaccustomed to heat does not mean being "afraid of heat." At least there is no sign of being burned or scorched; it simply manifests as causing the cold dragon pain!

As the cold dragon twisted and writhed, it also exerted its internal force, unleashing pressure on Chu Luren from every angle. Chu Luren could only withstand it with the defense of his Dao Embryo and secretly channel his Yang True Qi, making the cold dragon feel as if it had swallowed a hot iron...

Chu Luren hoped that Han Chi would spit him out quickly, so that he could easily finish him off with a single slash.

But gradually he realized that the cold dragon had no intention of spitting him out. Instead, it was wriggling and sinking down, with gastric juices seeping out from all sides!

The worst-case scenario unfolded. Chu Luren could withstand the surrounding pressure, and the surging cold air wasn't as strong as when it was expelled from his body; it was neutralized by Chu Luren's supreme yang energy. But this stomach acid…

It felt icy cold, and when it first touched his body, Chu Luren naively breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Han Chi's stomach was indeed not good and that the gastric juice was not corrosive—until Chu Luren's Mingyutai discovered that a layer of skin had peeled off his arm!

This gastric juice is not incorruptible, but rather has a more unique nature. It feels icy cold at first glance, but in reality, it "flash-freezes" the outer layer, which can then be peeled off with a little force.

Chu Luren braced himself with his arms, so naturally his arms were the first to suffer!

Because of the instantaneous freezing, even sensations became dulled, and the pain was completely imperceptible, plus it was pitch black all around...

If it weren't for Mingyutai, relying solely on one's own senses, one might not realize it until the bones were exposed!

Chu Luren had no choice but to raise the "Kunyu Qi Shield" again to prevent his body from directly contacting the gastric juices.

Clearly, the Chu Lu people have lost their gamble—the cold dragon does indeed have a habit of eating cold food, but that doesn't mean it's extremely afraid of eating hot food.

Just like a person with a weak stomach who can only eat soft food, it's not like they'd choke to death from eating a hard meal!

With the "Kunyu Qi Shield" erected, the true energy could no longer remain extremely yang and intense, greatly reducing the pain of the cold dragon. Moreover, even the Kunyu Qi Shield was gradually being frozen and peeled away.

At the same time, the Chu Lu people also began to activate the Kun fish energy shield and swim outwards...

This is much harder than swimming in a storm, at least the storm won't target the Chu Lu people!

Now, the Chu Lu people can only try to swim outwards by yielding to the pressure exerted on them by the Han Chi, but they are finding it difficult to move forward.

Just then, Han Chi tricked someone "outside" and spat out the corpse of a Snow Mountain disciple along with the broken ice. While the dog was distracted and trying to rescue him, Han Chi used his strongest abdominal muscles, which were seven zhang long, to strangle the dog!

While the mongrel was in trouble, the cold dragon was naturally able to concentrate its energy on dealing with the Chu deer in its belly—for it, whether it was tightening the outside or the inside, it was the same effort.

Chu Luren had moved slightly, but just as he struggled back to seven zhang away, the surrounding pressure suddenly increased, and Chu Luren's Kun fish aura shield shattered instantly.

Then Chu Luren felt a chill run through his entire body...

Including the face...

Chu Luren felt a chill run down his spine!

Then, the will to survive suddenly surged forth.

At the same time, Chu Luren suddenly felt a sense of ease throughout his body—not only his meridians, but his entire body was able to move again!

It should be noted that Chu Luren is currently in the Dao Embryo state, and normally he is unable to move. The Kunyu Qi Shield that can activate his main body is an effect that only appears after the seventh tribulation.

However, Chu Luren suddenly felt completely relaxed, and he could perfectly control his Dao Embryo...

However, Chu Luren felt no joy—for this was a sign that the eighth tribulation was approaching!

Touched by the calamity energy, or rather, the ominous signs of death in the dark, the "Dao Embryo Release Calamity Scripture," which was already at a bottleneck, began to break through to the eighth calamity!

The eighth tribulation realm is already close to Chu Luren's own internal energy. It does not require the formation of a clone. Chu Luren's main body needs to absorb the tribulation energy. In other words, it is a tribulation that requires escaping death once to break through.

In other words, this shows that the Chu Lu people are indeed facing a life-or-death situation!

Misjudging the level of danger within the Cold Dragon's body has plunged the Chu Lu people into an unexpected predicament.

Ignoring the possibility of disfigurement, Chu Luren immediately had an "epiphany," focusing his mind solely on survival.

In an instant, Chu Luren made a judgment, and the scorching true energy in his body instantly transformed into extreme cold and stillness—fully simulating the Mingyu True Energy of the eighth level.

It strives to be even more composed than the chilling aura of the Cold Dragon.

The chill that had gripped Chu Luren's body gradually dissipated, replaced by a burning pain...

Sure enough, once Chu Luren calmed down, the effects of the cold dragon's gastric juices on him immediately weakened, but his pain also intensified instantly!

At the same time, right outside the body of the Cold Dragon, separated from Chu Luren, Gou Zazhong was also squeezed by immense pressure, and even the Buddha phantom of the Dharma Heaven and Earth could no longer be maintained.

However, the dog-monster took advantage of the few moments the phantom persisted to curl up into a ball, resisting the pressure in a rather yoga-like posture.

This posture not only helps to disperse pressure, but also allows one to further comprehend the interplay of Yin and Yang. The "Blazing Flame Skill," which forms the foundation of his internal strength, is precisely the result of the extreme Yin and the sudden merging of Yin and Yang. At this moment, the bastard dog also gained a deeper understanding of this aspect.

The original balance of Yin and Yang gradually transformed into a state where neither Yin nor Yang mattered...

The cold dragon was also puzzled. The thing it had wrapped around was not turned into minced meat, but it gradually felt slippery and difficult to roll. The "foreign object" it had eaten was initially very hot, but then it made the snake feel comfortable.

Just then, the Chu deer inside her belly suddenly felt a burning heat again, and taking advantage of her unpreparedness, it swam "out" nearly ten feet away!

Han Chi quickly increased its strength again, but Chu Lu Ren finally moved away from the position where its strength was greatest.

This time, Han Chi was completely enraged and decided that he would not let up until there was no more movement in his belly.

Chu Luren seized the opportunity to unleash the "Dugu Sword Technique," channeling his power towards Han Chi, and a sword aura pierced into its flesh!

Even its interior is extremely tough; even the Chu Lu people might not have been able to pierce it...

However, at the same time, the dog bastard whose yin and yang had collapsed suddenly exploded with internal force from his dantian. The impact forced the cold dragon to open up, causing it to relax. Chu Luren took the opportunity to swim another zhang!

Chapter 892 August 26

Meanwhile, the Chu deer, inside the belly of the cold dragon, used a variety of tricks…

Each time, they would suddenly change their methods to catch the cold dragon off guard, and then take the opportunity to "swim" outwards.

Even so, Chu Luren had already reached his limit!

Without even looking, he knew he must look terrible. Not only had his skin been peeled off, but his muscles had also been burned by the icy blood that was heating up. Affected by this blood, Chu Luren felt as if his flesh and blood were melting.

More importantly, Chu Luren not only couldn't breathe, but the cold dragon's true energy was also constantly surging towards him.

Although Chu Luren possessed the ability of innate fetal breathing, it still required the circulation of true qi. In order to resist the damage, Chu Luren had already circulated his true qi to its limit...

Fortunately, Chu Luren was also well-versed in several methods of neutralizing external true energy. Whether it was the effect of the cold dragon blood or the true energy that the cold dragon was surging towards him, Chu Luren turned it into his own!

However, the quality of Han Chi's true energy was too high and its blood too domineering, which Chu Luren could not completely neutralize. As a result, he now felt a needle-like pain whenever he tried to circulate his energy.

However, under attack from both inside and outside, the Cold Dragon is becoming increasingly weak...

At this moment, although the dog bastard could no longer use the Law of Heaven and Earth, the way he wielded his single sword created a series of illusions, as if a golden crow had truly descended to earth and was at his service.

After a long struggle with the Cold Dragon, he used the Golden Crow Blade Technique to cut a charred bloodstain on the back of the Cold Dragon's neck!

Chu Luren was also there. Although he was also impacted, as soon as the pressure around him dissipated and the cold air dissipated, he quickly took the opportunity to continue his upward surge. The throat bone of the cold dragon seemed to be more like a weak point. Instead of continuing to put pressure on Chu Luren, it coughed and spat out Chu Luren, whose clothes had mostly disappeared and who was now covered in blood and gore.

At the same time, Chu Luren and the dog bastard instantly took out large porcelain bottles from their bodies and collected some of the blood...

At the same time, although Chu Luren's whole body was burning hot, he still glared angrily at Han Chi, his momentum not diminishing at all, and judging from his aura, he had no intention of running away.

The bastard was equally arrogant, looking at the even more ferocious Han Chi after spitting blood. The two figures were also reflected in Han Chi's huge snake eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he gradually shrank back.

By this time, the sun had fully risen, and it was already broad daylight.

Once the Cold Dragon was out of sight, Chu Luren fainted...

In fact, Chu Luren had just been using a spiritual secret technique in a devout manner. At this moment, the "Dao Embryo Release Calamity Scripture" had broken through, and the Dao Embryo system had absorbed enough calamity energy, returning to a motionless state once again.
