Chapter 92 Black Dragon Envoy, Human-Dragon Battle [Please Subscribe!]

The edge of an uninhabited section of the Cangyun River.

As ripples rose from the river, Xu Kaishan, soaked to the bone, gradually emerged from beneath the surface and took deep breaths of the fresh air.

Then he paddled with both hands and quickly climbed ashore.

At this moment, both his pupils and his right hand had completely returned to normal, and he was no different from an ordinary person.

Only his aura had changed to the eleventh level of the Qi Refining stage.

Moreover, he looked rather pale, as if he had consumed a lot of energy.

"We were really careless this time. We didn't expect that kid to have so many exquisite magical artifacts!"

"If I hadn't retreated in time, I'm afraid that if the fight had continued, I wouldn't have gained any advantage, and I might have even attracted nearby Foundation Establishment cultivators!"

On the riverbank, Xu Kaishan recalled what had happened in town, and his face immediately turned extremely ugly.

He never imagined that he, who always prided himself on his excellent judgment, would make such a mistake.

Not only was he completely fooled from beginning to end, but he also almost fell into the other party's trap.

If he hadn't gained certain abilities related to pupil techniques after performing the secret technique, he probably wouldn't have been able to tell that Zhou Chun was wearing makeup.

"That kid not only disguised himself, but also possessed a powerful weapon. His true identity is definitely not some rogue cultivator he claimed to be; he must be a promising young talent from some cultivation family or sect!"

"Now that I have revealed the secret technique of transforming into a dragon before him, for the sake of the sect's greater plan, we must immediately inform the envoy and eliminate him!"

With a cold glint in his eyes, Xu Kaishan thought of this and immediately took out a dark red incense stick from his storage bag, lit it, and then held the incense stick and waited silently.

After waiting for about half an hour, when the incense stick in his hand had burned about halfway, an old man in black holding a dragon-headed cane suddenly appeared in front of Xu Kaishan.

The old man in black was robust, with a ruddy complexion, sharp and bright eyes, and a very healthy and vigorous spirit.

If it weren't for his graying hair and the numerous crow's feet around his eyes, no one would guess that he was an old man who was over two hundred years old.

Upon seeing the old man in black, Xu Kaishan was immediately startled. He quickly extinguished the incense stick in his hand, knelt down, and kowtowed to the old man, saying, "Disciple Xu Kaishan greets the Black Dragon Envoy. May the Envoy enjoy eternal bliss and live as long as the immortals."

Upon hearing this, the old man in black smiled and nodded, saying, "Young Xu, you are also an elder in the sect. With the merits you have accumulated, you will have the opportunity to be allowed to enter the Dragon Pool to establish your foundation in another ten or eight years. There is no need to be so polite."

Upon hearing this, Xu Kaishan respectfully replied, "Propriety cannot be disregarded. Moreover, I was discovered and nurtured by the envoy, who treats me like a son or nephew. How could I be disrespectful in front of the envoy?"

"Hehehe, not bad, not bad. It's rare to see someone so filial. Stand up and speak first."

The old man in black smiled even more broadly and immediately raised his cane, indicating that Xu Kaishan could get up.

After Xu Kaishan stood up as instructed, he looked at him and said, "Speak, what exactly happened that you so hastily summoned me here with the incense?"

"Your Majesty, I have been following the instructions of the teachings and have been traveling around to recruit independent cultivators and find suitable people to join the teachings."

"Unexpectedly, I was blind and mistook a family cultivator disguised as a rogue cultivator for one of my targets for recruitment."

"Because that person clearly rejected my attempt to win him over, I became angry and used the sect's Dragon Transformation Technique to ambush him."

"Unexpectedly, that person possessed an item that automatically protects its master. My sneak attack failed, and instead, I revealed the sect's Dragon Transformation Secret Technique in front of him."

"At that time, I was afraid that a Foundation Establishment cultivator would notice the commotion and rush to the scene, so I had to abandon my plan to silence them and escape by taking advantage of the water."

"Fearing that person might spread the news and ruin the sect's grand plan, we have no choice but to ask the envoy for help in preventing future troubles!"

With his head bowed, Xu Kaishan recounted the whole story in a low voice.

The old man in black, who had been all smiles, turned pale instantly after hearing his words.

He stared at Xu Kaishan with a grim expression and said in a cold tone, "Young Xu, I just said you were a senior member of the sect, someone who could always be trusted. How could you make such a basic mistake?"

"Do you know what the consequences would be if your mistake hindered the church's grand plan?"

Pfft!

Xu Kaishan's legs went weak, and he immediately knelt down on the ground again.

Then, he kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Your Excellency, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. Please, Your Excellency, consider my many years of service to the sect and help me out. I will be eternally grateful!"

"Hmph, hurry up and tell me the details about that person!"

The old man in black gave a cold snort and immediately pressed for details.

After obtaining detailed information from Xu Kaishan, he quickly left the riverbank and began searching for Zhou Chun.

On the other side, after confirming that he could not find Xu Kaishan, Zhou Chun also quickly left Sanjiangkou.

He knew very well that there must be a mysterious and powerful hidden force behind Xu Kaishan.

After his falling out with Xu Kaishan, he will inevitably face targeted attacks from that hidden force.

Therefore, after leaving the Sanjiang Estuary, he quickly changed his clothes, this time disguising himself as a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, and also changed his name to Li Hong.

Even so, Zhou Chun still felt uneasy.

So he organized the information he had gathered over the past few days into letters and had his twenty-seventh uncle, Zhou Jiapeng, send them back to the family first. Meanwhile, he himself went into a state of seclusion and silence, no longer showing himself or contacting other cultivators.

He relied entirely on his fourth brother, Zhou Zhengyu, to get information from the outside world.

This action undoubtedly saved him from disaster.

After mobilizing a large number of people without finding him, the old man in black ultimately dared not delay other important matters while searching for him, so he could only send those people back to their original posts and continue to keep an eye out for him in secret.

As for the Zhou family, after reading the letter he had asked Zhou Jiapeng to take back, Zhou Daoyi quickly had Zhou Jiapeng deliver a reply to him.

In his reply, Zhou Daoyi instructed Zhou Chun to take the mysterious force behind Xu Kaishan seriously and not to deal with it lightly anymore. He told Zhou Chun to keep himself hidden as much as possible and to secretly direct Zhou Jiapeng and Zhou Chun to gather information.

After reading the letter, Zhou Chun felt that the clan leader, Zhou Daoyi, seemed to know something.

The mysterious force behind Xu Kaishan may not be as mysterious as he imagined!

However, since the clan leader wouldn't say anything, Zhou Chun could only follow his instructions and hide himself.

More than a month later, what Xu Kaishan had said finally happened.

When the dragon reappeared in a certain place in the Cangyun River, several high-level cultivators from Yunzhou who had been waiting for a long time immediately went there to slay the dragon as quickly as possible.

With full power, a cultivator in the Purple Mansion stage can fly hundreds of miles in an hour, and it only takes a few hours to fly across a province!

By the time the news reached Zhou Chun, the great battle had already begun.

Above a section of the lower reaches of the Cangyun River, five cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage from Yunzhou were suspended in the sky, their bodies radiating magical power and spiritual light, as they ganged up on a dragon in the river below.

The dragon in the river was not the black dragon that Zhou Chun had seen before, but a very easy-to-identify green dragon.

Its aura was roughly equivalent to that of a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, making it a mid-grade third-tier demon beast.

Surrounded by as many as five cultivators of the same level, even though it was a dragon, it quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

hold head high--

A high-pitched and long roar of a dragon rose from the water and sky, filled with anger.

"It's calling for its companions! Fellow Daoists, quickly unleash your full power! We must kill it before that black dragon arrives!"

In the sky, an old man in green robes kept making hand seals, trying his best to make a blue-gold ring magic artifact firmly encircle the neck of the blue dragon, while shouting loudly to urge the others to intensify their attack.

The reason why the Azure Dragon was trapped here and unable to escape was because he had bound it beforehand with a powerful magic artifact for trapping enemies.

However, it is clear that restraining a dragon would be a great burden for the old man in green.

This can be seen from the fact that he, a cultivator at the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, is now only fully activating that one magic artifact.

His urging quickly had an effect.

A middle-aged man in white made a sword gesture, and the silver flying sword he controlled suddenly shone brightly, shooting towards the azure dragon on the water like a shooting star.

Roar!

The Azure Dragon seemed to sense the danger, letting out a roar and a burst of azure light, which transformed into a curtain of azure wind that blocked its path.

However, its hastily cast protective spell was no match for the ultimate move of a swordsman of the same level.

The silver flying sword was only slightly hindered by the cyan wind curtain before it quickly tore through the wind curtain under its master's urging and crashed onto the cyan dragon's body.

Suddenly, a mournful cry rang out from the blue dragon's mouth.

Its dragon scales shattered and broke apart piece by piece, instantly being sliced ​​and blown away by the silver flying sword, leaving a bloody and mangled wound on its body.

Before it could react, the attacks from the other people all came crashing down.

Urged on by a middle-aged man in red, a crimson firebird flapped its wings and flew out from a crimson banner, swooping down on the azure dragon with raging flames. Before it even got close, the intense heat had already boiled the river water below.

Another woman in a green dress formed a hand seal and used some kind of secret technique to condense a blue lightning ball, which then slammed into the blue dragon in the water.

Another man in yellow, whose age was indiscernible, flicked his sleeve and produced a long, earth-yellow staff-like magical artifact.

With his magical power activated, the long staff-like magical artifact rapidly expanded and grew larger in mid-air, eventually transforming into a giant stone pillar over ten zhang long, which slammed down on the head of the Azure Dragon.

Faced with these fierce attacks, the Azure Dragon's eyes immediately revealed a human-like fear.

Its tail slapped against the river surface, creating huge waves that formed a water curtain to protect itself.

At the same time, the dragon claws danced, summoning swirling clouds of water to surround its body.

However, such methods are simply insufficient to withstand the ultimate attacks of several beings of the same level.

Soon the water curtain and water clouds were torn apart by the lightning and fire, leaving scorched marks on the Azure Dragon's body.

Without the obstruction of the water curtain and water clouds, the giant stone pillar that smashed down on the Azure Dragon's head became a fatal blow.

The reflection of the giant stone pillar was in the eyes of the Azure Dragon, and its eyes were filled with deep terror.

In its extreme terror, it couldn't help but open its mouth and spit out its own inner core.

The inner core of a demon beast is both the essence of its body and its final weapon.

Because the inner core contains the essence and power of a demon beast, it is extremely powerful whether used for attack or defense.

However, unless absolutely necessary, demonic beasts will never spit out their inner cores to attack.

Because once the inner core is damaged, it is a fundamental injury, and it is unknown how long it will take to recover in the future.

In severe cases, the inner core may even shatter, causing cultivation to regress to the second tier!

The Azure Dragon even spat out its inner core, showing that it had exhausted all its methods.

However, it must be said that the power of the inner core is truly formidable!

A flash of azure light appeared, and a fist-sized azure inner core flew out of the azure dragon's mouth, emitting a rich azure light and colliding with the falling giant stone pillar.

As a result, the giant stone pillar was sent flying backward, quickly shrinking back to its original size.

The inner core of the Azure Dragon only dimmed slightly before it was swallowed back into its belly.

"As expected of a celestial beast, its inner core is far more powerful than other demonic beasts of the same rank!"

In the sky, the owner of the long staff let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood welled up from the corner of his mouth.

The others were also taken aback and quite surprised.

Although it was the first time the five of them had joined forces, their cultivation levels and strength were undeniable.

They had already used their treasures to trap the Azure Dragon, and even with the remaining four of them working together with all their might, they still couldn't defeat it in one go, which was quite embarrassing.

"Hmph, the inner core may be powerful, but it can't be used much. Don't be fooled by it!"

A cold snort came from the old man in blue robes. Seeing that his four companions were somewhat dejected, he hurriedly spoke up to encourage them.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged swordsman in white immediately replied in a deep voice, "Elder Guo is absolutely right! Everyone, continue the attack! Today we must kill this beast and vent the anger of the cultivators of Yunzhou!"

"The day to slay the dragon and vanquish the monster is here! Let's attack together!"

As the woman in the green dress spoke, she first unleashed a jade-green wooden ruler and struck the azure dragon.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately rallied their spirits and launched another fierce attack on the Azure Dragon.

But just as the Azure Dragon was being besieged and retreating, and its injuries were becoming more and more serious, an angry roar suddenly rang out from afar.

Dozens of miles away, a dark cloud was rolling toward the battlefield, with the black dragon's figure tumbling and dancing within it.

"Oh no, the black dragon is here!"

On the battlefield, several human cultivators at the Purple Mansion level all paled.

Compared to the Azure Dragon, the Black Dragon is undoubtedly stronger, being a third-tier high-grade demon beast comparable to a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator.

Moreover, the Black Dragon belongs to the water element, so the riverbank is its home ground, and its strength will greatly increase.

Five human cultivators at the Purple Mansion level had to go all out to deal with a single azure dragon.

If a black dragon were added to the mix, they would have no chance of winning and might even be in danger themselves.

However, seeing the Azure Dragon that they were about to kill, they were extremely unwilling to give up now!
