Elden Gulong in American comics

Gu Long nodded, sighed, looked at Genichiro below and said:

"Look, giving you a chance is useless."

The other party raised his head as he was dying. In the end, he didn't say anything and just closed his eyes and fainted.

Genichiro was sent for treatment, and the wolf was about to get up. At this moment, Gu Long stopped him.

"Don't move, turn around."

The wolf obeyed and turned around, revealing the left side of his face. The left side of his face turned as white as a rock from the temples. The pale skin spread across the wolf's face, almost covering half of his face.

"This is the price of using Long Yin."

The wolf touched his pale temples. He had the power of Long Yin given by Jiulang, so he could always come back to life, but this power did not come without a price.

Gu Long reached out and poked his face, feeling the texture like tree bark.

"It's kind of interesting. It looks like dragon scales and a tree. Now I want to know more and more what Sakura Dragon is."

Gu Long let go of the wolf, and the other party left without saying a word, as if he had never been here before.

After a while, Jiulang walked up to the top with a book in his arms and said respectfully to Gu Long:

"Sir, we are still short of the last ingredient to make the incense of the source."

"Then it should be done tomorrow. I have to say, your ninja efficiency is indeed very high."

Gu Long said to Jiulang with a smile, but the distressed look on the other person's face only increased:

"But sir, according to the records in ancient books, the last medicine requires the branches of Changzakura in Ashina Castle."

"It was a precious tree, but the Changying has disappeared for a long time."

Gu Long smiled: "It doesn't matter, I believe there will always be some people in Ashina City who have this kind of thing."

Jiulang left hesitantly, but Gu Long looked to the other side. On the guard pavilion, Gu Long said softly:

"Come out."

Following Gu Long's voice, a huge man fell from the beam, but his steps were so light that the floor didn't even shake at all.

"Ninja, I've seen you, sir."

The man took out a dry branch from his arms and presented it to the ancient dragon in front of him:

"I heard that your Excellency wanted Changying Xiangmu, so I sent it to you specially."

Chapter 315: Night attack

In front of Gu Long, the huge man knelt on the ground, a branch in his hand exuding a faint fragrance.

It is said that there used to be a cherry tree with cherry blossoms in full bloom in Ashina Castle, but with the changes of the times, the cherry tree that once bloomed has long since withered, turned into dust and never appeared again.

But at this moment, the cherry blossom branches in the hands of the man in front of him seemed to still have medicinal effects, allowing Gu Long to go to the Palace of Origin and meet the legendary Sakura Dragon.

But Gu Long did not take the branch from the man's hand. All sacrifices come with a price. When humans pray to gods, they are not without desires.

"I've heard of you, giant ninja, Owl."

Gu Long looked at the man in front of him. The man was tall. At first glance, he was probably over two meters tall. But for such a tall man, he was doing a job like a ninja. It could only be said that the man did have some strength.

Because of this, even if Gu Long is just here for the first time, he has heard about the man in front of him from others.

His name is Xiao, and he is a ninja in Ashina City. He is huge and powerful. He has been one of the most powerful ninjas a long time ago, and he has also shouldered the important task of cultivating reserves.

Wolf was his adopted son, and it was Xiao who taught Wolf this skill.

In a sense, this is a talent that started from humble beginnings.

"So, what are you praying for?"

Facing Gu Long's question, Xiao lowered his head even more, and even raised his buttocks, showing a humble posture.

"I just want to be by your side and serve you."

"How can a big man like you not have ninjas to serve you?"

Xiao's reason is very legitimate. To put it simply, ninjas are killers. In this world, every strength will cultivate some killers of their own.

Gu Long was noncommittal, he still looked down upon the strength of the owl in front of him.

"In that case, I think your adopted wolf is quite good."

Gu Long turned away and said softly, then took the fragrant wood from the opponent's hand and said to Xiao:

"I can't agree to this request, but seeing that you have brought the materials I want, I can give you other things."

As he spoke, Gu Long still popped out a broken scale, and the scales wrapped with thunder flashed in front of the owl and fell into the opponent's collar.

Thunder and lightning wrapped around the owl's body for an instant, and then disappeared again.

"I hope you won't insult this power."

Gu Long said calmly, but Xiao had a feeling that he was being seen through, making him nod with some fear.

It was night, and the wolf saw a loud and familiar voice coming downstairs, holding a branch in his hand.

Seeing his adoptive father appear, the wolf lowered his head, and was immediately supported by the owl. The huge palm patted the wolf's back and said softly:

"Wolf, you have grown into a qualified ninja."

The wolf said nothing and even shook away his adoptive father's hand indifferently, but the other man came over with a smile and held out the branch in his hand.

"My lord asked me to give this to Kuro."

The wolf took the branch, nodded to his adoptive father, and then walked into the room, but he did not see a mysterious light shining in his adoptive father's eyes behind him.

In the darkness, a red lightning flashed on Xiao Xiao's hand, and he felt that there was something similar in the wolf's body.

But that's not all, there is something else attracting Owl somewhere in Ashina City.

So, in the night, the owl's huge body rose into the sky and flew into the distance as light as a bird.

On the other side, in Genichiro's residence, Genichiro, who was entertained by the hospitable villagers of Shuisheng Village, was resting in bed.

His physical condition is quite good, so after treatment by doctors, he has regained consciousness.

But the shame in his heart became more and more profound. Genichiro clenched his hands. He hated his own powerlessness, but at this moment he could only knock on the floor to vent his emotions.

At this moment, he felt a burst of heat in his chest. Genichiro waved his heavy arms and pulled out a pendant from his chest.

At the end of the pendant, there was a scale that looked like gravel hanging. It was a scale given to him by the ancient dragon, and it possessed the power of dragon thunder.

Genichiro silently closed his eyes, forced himself to stand up, and tried to use meditation to feel the power.

In the darkness, only red thunder occasionally flashed across Genichiro's body. His heart became calm, feeling the power of thunder, and fell into a state of meditation little by little.

But at this moment, the air suddenly fluctuated for a moment, and Genichiro's eyes widened. He wanted to hide, but found that it was too late.

In just an instant, a long knife passed through Genichiro's chest and pierced his heart, while a broad hand pulled hard and tore off the ancient dragon scales on Genichiro's neck.

In the haze of dying, Genichiro saw a giant-like figure, who smiled at Genichiro:

"I'm sorry, Genichiro-sama, but I really want this."

"I'm afraid it's hard for a high-ranking man like you to understand the wishes of a humble person like me."

Xiao Xiao chuckled and said that Genichiro's residence was not well protected. Most of Ashina Castle's manpower was sent to fight against the shogunate. Only a few guards and maids were on guard in the residence.

So, Xiao Xiao picked up Genichiro who fell on the ground, came to the edge of Ashina Castle, and threw Genichiro's body into the moat from under the towering city wall.

The moat of Ashina Castle has been maintained for many years and is rarely maintained. It is said that there are some monsters in it, so no one cares about the sound of water falling in the corner.

Xiao Xiao quietly found a branch, lay his body on it, and played with the scales he snatched from Genichiro's hands.

"It's a bit impulsive, but that old guy Isshin doesn't have a few days left."

Xiao Xiao smiled to himself. He was a little impulsive this time, but in the face of the temptation of power, Xiao still couldn't bear his greed.

He rubbed the scales in his hands, and then put the scales into his mouth. Immediately, a burst of thunder emerged from his body, making Xiao feel a little stronger.

"Sure enough."

Xiao said softly, pointing to the branch in front of him, and a wrist-thick thunder fell from the sky, causing the tree under Xiao to burn.

The owl laughed loudly, and the laughter was as ugly as a wild beast. The fire took advantage of the wind and grew bigger and bigger, eventually engulfing Genichiro's mansion.

The next day, Gu Long received the news that there was a fire in Ashina Castle yesterday, and Genichiro disappeared.

This news did not affect Gu Long's plan at all. Jiuro was arranging the incense of the source that could go to Xianxiang in a step-by-step manner. Gu Long was also moving his body and getting ready for the trip.

"Sir, this is the incense of the source that can travel to the fairyland."

Jiulang handed over a sachet, Gu Long took it, and in the next moment, thunder and storm gathered above the castle tower.

boom!

The sound of thunder was heard endlessly, and a huge ancient dragon rose into the sky and flew towards the outside of Ashina City.

Chapter 316: Arriving at the Palace of Origin

At that moment, the ancient dragon appeared on Ashina Castle, and the storm and thunder it brought dispelled the decaying smell of the city, allowing the people struggling to survive in it to wake up for a moment.

They looked at the dragon dancing in the sky in confusion, and then fell to their knees on the ground, devoting their never too much devotion to the ancient dragon in the sky.

Outside the city, a young man in tattered clothes woke up after being groped by scavengers. Due to the war in Ashina, many people died in the battle, so there were also many people who made a living by touching corpses.

They call themselves the Memorial Gang, and they make a living by picking up money from dead people.

The memorial gang chanted prayers and touched the young man's body with their hands. They were sure that the young man was dead.

But at this moment, the memorial gang who touched the corpse suddenly discovered that the long-dead corpse actually had a heartbeat.

Immediately, the corpse opened its eyes, and he grabbed the neck of the memorial gang in front of him. He didn't know where the strange force came from, and actually crushed the opponent's neck bones to pieces.

The young man was Genichiro who was killed by the owl. He was washed down along the moat and arrived outside Ashina Castle.

Genichiro stood up and touched the scar on his heart in confusion. He didn't understand why he was still alive, but suddenly he remembered something.

Previously, in order to gain strength, he drank a potion called Transformation Water. Perhaps it was the power of that potion that allowed him to survive.
