Dragon Gate Swordsman

Chongxiao was very glad that the clinic was located in a remote area, so the appearance of the giant snake did not cause too many casualties in the first place.

Except for a few SWAT members and the prisoners who failed to escape in time...but now is not the time to observe a moment of silence for them.

This giant snake, which looks like Hakkar, was obviously not domesticated, but was transformed using Originium technology. Its eyes, which show no intelligence, are proof of this.

However, this does not mean that it is easy to deal with...

Seeing the SWAT team members running away with the wounded on their backs, Chongxiao no longer restrained himself and blue energy began to emanate from his entire body.

"Look at this! Sun Thief!"

Like a cannonball fired from a gun, Chongxiao's entire body rushed towards the giant snake's slowly shaking head, and then slashed its nose with a sword.

The good news is that the effect of this move is very obvious. The giant snake hissed in pain and flapped its wings to "slap" Chongxiao to the side. The bad news is that this sword did not break the defense...

Damn! Is the skin so hard?

After landing, Chongxiao turned over and quickly observed the surrounding situation.

The original location of the clinic has become a huge deep pit due to the giant snake's actions. Part of its body is still underground, and in the distance, separated by several walls, a crowd of onlookers can be seen. Some brave guys are even approaching.

"Get away from me! Are you looking for death!?"

Chongxiao roared in frustration, but was nearly bitten by the giant snake.

The speed of this guy is not commensurate with its bulky body. Its bloody mouth full of ferocious sharp teeth is extremely flexible. If it bites a person, even Waifan would probably have broken bones.

However, it was also pinned down here by Chongxiao and had no way of moving elsewhere.

Guo Shan, who had not followed him down before, had driven the car away alertly when the giant snake poked its head out. He also jumped onto the nearby wall and watched the fight between Chongxiao and the giant snake in disbelief.

But what really made him feel incredible was the latter, not the former...

The method of using Originium technology to transform organisms into war machines has existed on the Terra continent since ancient times. It is indeed troublesome to deal with this kind of small monster with a greatly enhanced size and skin by one's own strength.

The problem was that due to the age of the people, Dayan had always strictly prohibited such transformations, not to mention that it was near the capital of the gods. Guo Shan could not understand who would be so bold.

He had no intention of stepping forward to help. Firstly, his strength was not that good to begin with, and secondly... Chongxiao didn't seem to be really at a disadvantage.

Moreover, the special police who sent the wounded to a distant place have returned.

"Sir, please hold on a little longer, support will be here soon!"

While shouting, several special police officers behind Zilong found cover and began shooting at the giant snake's eyes.

As for himself, he connected the long knife and baton behind him to form a long-handled weapon, and then bravely rushed towards the giant snake...

Little did he know that Chongxiao, who saw this scene, felt very awkward, and wondered why Zilong was holding Erye's weapon?

The giant snake was indeed not very intelligent. Even when several special police officers kept shooting at its eyes, it still focused most of its attention on Chongxiao and Zilong, especially the former.

In addition to its sharp teeth and spikes on its wings, the snake tail pulled out from the ground also became its weapon, which it swung at the two again and again.

The force was so strong that each impact caused a small earthquake, and soon several houses nearby were shaking.

But this is actually a good thing, because the onlookers in the distance finally realized that this is not a movie, let alone a show...

"Oh my god, it's really a monster! Call the police!"

"Are you blind? Didn't you see that the ones fighting the monsters were SWAT police?"

"Can they win?"

"How the hell should I know?"

Well, although they are not as fond of watching fun as the residents of Longmen, the people of Shendu still have a pretty good attitude when facing emergencies.

At this moment, I don't know whether the SWAT officers finally hit the target once, or the continuous firing of the pistol finally pierced the pupil of the giant snake. With a "puff" sound, a large amount of dark yellow liquid suddenly spurted out of the giant snake's right eye... probably its eyeball tissue or something.

The intense pain made the giant snake no longer care about attacking Chongxiao and Zilong. It began to roll wildly on the ground, smashing all the walls that had not collapsed yet.

This also caused considerable trouble for Chongxiao and Zilong. Fortunately for Chongxiao, he was agile and dodged the giant snake's "Death Roll", but Zilong was knocked away miserably... However, due to his strong physique, he was not seriously injured.

Tsk...what a hassle...

Chongxiao had already noticed that what actually blocked the rebellious slash was not the giant snake's skin, but the pattern that glowed like a spell.

But he knew nothing about Originium techniques and had no idea how to crack it.

Fortunately, at this moment, "support" arrived.

Suddenly, several bluish-white lights appeared in the air. After spinning gracefully, they swooped down quickly and wrapped around the giant snake.

This is... Chongxiao looked up in surprise and saw Ling walking towards him.

With every step he took, the dragon-patterned whisk swung forward, and a bluish-white light appeared in the air... His leisurely stroll, as if lifting a feather with ease, yet he suppressed the monster with ease, truly impressed everyone around him.

The light that was "bound" to the giant snake soon turned into icy frosty air, making its body become more and more stiff until it was completely frozen in place.

"Taoist Master."

"I didn't expect... that a monster would actually appear..."

Looking at the frozen giant snake, Ling Weiwei shook her head and was about to say something to Chongxiao, but she found that the other person's eyes had become extremely strange and his expression was very weird.

Oh no...illusion!

Only then did Ling realize that he was thinking about the giant snake and neglected to maintain the illusion, causing his true appearance to be exposed in front of Chongxiao.

This is a bit embarrassing, especially since Ling has entered someone's dream in this way before...

Fortunately, Guo Shan trotted over at this time, giving her the opportunity to quickly perform the illusion.

"Brother Chongxiao, was this monster created by those assassins?"

"should be."

As for biological combat weapons created or transformed using Originium techniques, Da Yan usually calls them monsters or demons. And unlike other countries on the Terra continent, it basically bans them all.

So let alone letting this thing attack the personnel of Dali Temple and Special Police Bureau, even keeping it in captivity for fun is a serious crime.

Obviously, the headlines for tomorrow's news in Shendu have already been made.

"Then... Taoist Priest, the people who invited you to the Divine Capital were here to guard against this?"

"maybe."

Ling sighed imperceptibly, "Or... they already know."

……

In just two days, this was Song Zimu's second visit to Gongzi Cheng's mansion.

When he came the day before yesterday, the Dali Temple Shaoqing came alone, with a humble attitude and a calm tone. Although he had many dissatisfactions and doubts in his heart, it did not show on his face at all.

But this time...it's very different.

"Song...Lord Song?"

"Please inform Your Highness that Song Zimu, Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, together with Lord Du of the Ministry of Personnel and Lord Hai of the Ministry of Justice, would like to have a talk with Your Highness."

There was no need to figure out who were standing next to Song Zimu. Just the names of these two people were enough to make the housekeeper who opened the door tremble with fear. He ran back in a panic, leaving the security guard with trembling legs to invite everyone to the reception room.

This also made Song Zimu sigh in his heart.

"My Lords, please!"

"Song Shaoqing, please!"

From ancient times to the present, although the care that the True Dragon royal family gives to their side branches may vary depending on the emperor's own likes and dislikes, it has undoubtedly been on a downward trend overall.

No reward without merit, this famous saying of wise minister is regarded as the principle by the True Dragon Royal Family.

Therefore, the titles and treatment of the brothers and sisters of emperors of all dynasties could not be passed down for more than three generations, and starting from about a hundred years ago, even the "sons inheriting the father's business" was no longer a tradition.

In other words, when Prince Zhen officially ascends the throne, Prince Cheng may be crowned king and continue to enjoy royal treatment, but his descendants will be just ordinary nobles and will no longer be regarded as members of the royal family, nor will they enjoy corresponding treatment.

Of course, relying on the resources accumulated by the parents, it is definitely no problem to become a wealthy man with no worries about food and clothing. As for the future generations, they can only rely on themselves.

Therefore, in the past thousand years, the descendants of the royal family's side branches have never been able to threaten the emperor's position... unless they caused trouble during the change of dynasties.

This is also one of the reasons why Dayan has such a peculiar "tradition".

Today, Young Master Cheng is only twenty-three years old. His mind is not yet fully mature. He is not a dandy, but he has never shown any extraordinary abilities either. It is no exaggeration to describe him as being quite decent.

After rushing to the reception room and seeing the three adults and four imperial guards standing outside the door, Gongzi Cheng's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.

This performance was even worse than when Song Zimu came alone yesterday...

Lord Du stroked his beard and smiled, his expression normal, but Lord Hai frowned, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

Compared with the young and mature Taizizhen, Gongzi Cheng is really too incompetent.

"I have met His Highness."

"Song...Song...Lord Song, didn't you come here yesterday?"

With the help of the butler, Gongzi Cheng managed to sit in the main seat in the reception room and said with a smile on his face.

If you ignore the look in his eyes and expressions, he can be considered a handsome man with an elegant appearance. Coupled with the graceful bearing of a true dragon royal family, he is definitely more than qualified to be a movie star.

In addition, Gongzi Cheng's academic attainments were also quite amazing. He was admitted to university at the age of fifteen and completed the course three years ahead of schedule... Unfortunately, while continuing his studies, he had an affair with his campus beauty girlfriend, which painted a not-so-glorious mark on the True Dragon Royal Family.

"Yesterday I came here because of the Huang family massacre, but today it's about something else."

"Another thing? What is it?"

"Your Highness, are you aware that a demon beast appeared outside of the Divine Capital this morning?"

Gong Zicheng's eyes widened slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Demon beast? How could it be like this..."

He didn't notice that at this moment, Song Zimu and the two adults were concentrating on observing his reaction.

Afterwards, Song Zimu looked normal, Lord Du seemed to be slightly relieved, and Lord Hai frowned.

"This monster was transformed by the Originium technique. It is huge and powerful. Its skin is neither gold nor iron, and is extremely tough. Even divine weapons cannot break it."

During Song Zimu's calm narration, Gongzi Cheng seemed to be listening carefully, but there was still a hint of impatience in his expression... He really was not a good actor, otherwise he wouldn't be unable to have two girlfriends at the same time as a member of the royal family.

"...May I ask Your Highness, have you ever heard of this kind of monster?"

"Huh? Uh... never heard of it, never heard of it!"

Gongzi Cheng, who was a little slow to react, quickly waved his hands.

Song Zimu first exchanged glances with the two adults, then said, "Then your highness, do you know where this monster came from?"

"Of course I don't know."

"It was my Dali Temple that tracked down the assassin who slaughtered the Huang family, and then they released him."

Gong Zicheng seemed unable to react to what he said at first.

In order to hide his embarrassment, he reached out to take the tea that the butler had just brought over, but suddenly froze in his seat.

"...Your Highness?"

"Ah? Ah...no...it's okay."

Gongzi Cheng tried hard to force out an ugly smile... With his handsome face, it was not easy to do that.

"Your Highness, aren't you curious about who those assassins are?"

"Why not? I wish I could tear them into pieces to avenge Mr. Huang's family!"

This sentence was said with power, but it was just power. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that his words were not sincere.

The reason why the Huang family is so close to Gongzi Cheng is that after they have experienced two dynasties of true dragon emperors, no one in the family holds an important position in the court. In addition, they have some relatives relationship with Queen Yin of the Feilin clan, so naturally they are more inclined to her biological son Gongzi Cheng.

By the way, the bloodline of the True Dragon Royal Family is exactly the opposite of that of the Sakota of Lateran. It is very "domineering". The offspring born after intermarriage with other races are basically all dragons. It takes at least four or five generations of "dilution" before children of other races are born.

Therefore, Gongzi Cheng does not have any characteristics of the Filin people.

"Your Highness, please calm down. In fact, all the assassins have been killed. No matter who the real murderer of Lord Huang's family is, at least he has been given an explanation."

"Oh... In this case, it's a pity that Mr. Huang taught me..."

The murdered head of the Huang family had indeed spent quite a while with Young Master Cheng when he was a child, but the term "teacher" was a bit too much of a stretch... The one who was truly qualified to be the teacher of Prince Zhen and Young Master Cheng was Yu Shaobao, who was currently in the imperial court.

After that, they chatted for a while, but the main speaker became the gentle Lord Du, while Song Zimu and Lord Hai hardly spoke anymore.

It was obvious that Gongzi Cheng was greatly relieved by this. He calmed down and talked freely, which somewhat restored his image.

But he didn't know what Song Zimu and the other two talked about after they said goodbye, otherwise they would have packed up and fled the capital right away...
