Chapter 95 Tacit Understanding, Grand Scene [Please Subscribe]

Zhou Daoyi came alone.

According to him, now that he has arrived, there is no need for Zhou Chun and the others to stay in this dangerous place; they can all leave.

As for the dragon blood spirit item that Zhou Chun longed for, he said he would keep an eye out for it for Zhou Chun, and Zhou Chun would just need to give him some spirit coins.

However, Zhou Chun had been busy in Yunzhou for more than half a year, and now that the grand show was about to begin, how could he be willing to leave like this?

After much pleading and revealing that he had mastered the second level of the "Xin Jin Sword Qi," Zhou Daoyi finally agreed to let him stay and watch the battle.

"You can stay and learn from my experience, but you must promise me that no matter what happens, you won't get involved in this matter. Can you do that?"

Zhou Daoyi looked at Zhou Chun with a serious expression and spoke in a very solemn tone.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun replied with a serious expression, "Clan leader, rest assured, I know my own limitations and will never do anything beyond my capabilities!"

"Then wear this straw hat. With this covering your face, the members of that mysterious force you mentioned shouldn't be able to find you anymore."

As Zhou Daoyi spoke, he raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, taking out a bamboo hat covered with a black veil and handing it to Zhou Chun.

This bamboo hat is clearly a magical artifact. Wearing it can block the divine sense and gaze of outsiders from prying into one's own eyes and spirit, while one's own gaze and divine sense remain unaffected.

After Zhou Chun put on this item, he would put on another cotton coat to make his body look fuller, so that even people who knew him well would have a hard time recognizing him before he made a sound.

After that, he followed Zhou Daoyi closely, quietly waiting for the grand show to begin.

This wait did not last long.

On the third day after Zhou Daoyi arrived at Feima Mountain, five cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage from Qinglian Temple appeared in the sky above Feima Mountain and headed straight for the dragon's nest.

In addition, behind these five Purple Mansion stage cultivators, there were twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Azure Lotus Temple.

When Zhou Chun saw this scene from afar on the mountaintop, he took the opportunity to ask Zhou Daoyi beside him, "Clan leader, you are wise. I have a question: why is the dragon causing such a ruckus here, yet no Golden Core cultivators have come to slay it?"

"Because this is a tacit understanding shared between high-level human cultivators and high-level demons!"

Zhou Daoyi sighed softly and immediately explained to Zhou Chun, "High-level demon races like the Flood Dragon have enormous power and countless powerful third and fourth-tier demon beasts, and even quite a few fifth-tier great demons."

"If any Golden Core cultivator dares to bully the weak and slay the dragon, a powerful demon of the fifth rank will surely retaliate personally afterward. It would be a losing proposition!"

"Of course, the reverse is also true. If a fourth-tier demon beast dares to attack a human cultivator's force at will, or slaughter human cultivators outside its territory, then a Nascent Soul cultivator, upon learning of this, can openly and legitimately go to kill the demon and take its core!"

At this point, seemingly fearing that Zhou Chun might misunderstand and bring trouble upon himself, he looked at him seriously and warned him:

"However, you should also remember that this is just an unwritten agreement between the two sides, and in many cases, as long as it doesn't escalate to such a large extent as it has now, the news may not reach the ears of higher-level demons or Nascent Soul stage cultivators."

"Furthermore, if you don't have strong backing, even if you're bullied, there's no guarantee that anyone will be willing to stand up for you!"

So that's how it is?

Zhou Chun nodded thoughtfully, feeling that this explanation was quite reasonable.

But he quickly frowned again and asked, "But Yunzhou is human territory. Two dragons are causing havoc on the Cangyun River, killing no fewer than ten thousand mortals on both banks. Doesn't that count as breaking the rules?"

"Of course not!"

Zhou Daoyi shook his head slightly and replied with a sigh, "Let alone mortals, even if Qi Refining cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators like you and me were killed by a dragon, it wouldn't be considered breaking the rules!"

"The so-called tacit understanding between the two races actually only applies to cultivators at the Golden Core stage and above, and demonic beasts at the fourth rank and above."

Is there such a restriction?

Zhou Chun frowned, unsure how to judge the matter.

Because he didn't know that the reason why those high-level human and demon beings reached this tacit understanding was because the two sides were evenly matched and neither could gain more advantage.

Or is it simply because they don't want to take on more responsibility or go through more trouble?

In short, this restriction is undoubtedly very unfriendly to low-level cultivators.

"Let's go, let's get a little closer and see what dragon-slaying methods those senior cultivators of the Azure Lotus Temple have prepared!"

Before Zhou Chun could think further, Zhou Daoyi quickly revealed his plan.

Then he took Zhou Chun and flew to the location of the dragon's nest.

They were only halfway there when they heard the noisy roar of a dragon.

Rumble!

Soon, a deafening roar echoed across the distant river.

Along with the rising light, various magical lights also appeared.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Daoyi quickly sped up.

After traveling a further distance, the situation dozens of miles away became clearly visible to Zhou Chun and his companion.

On the river, a black dragon surrounded by dark clouds was seen fighting alone against five cultivators from the Azure Lotus Temple's Purple Mansion.

Although there were five of them, the five Purple Mansion cultivators from Qinglian Temple were naturally far stronger than those native cultivators from Yunzhou.

Moreover, compared to the five native Purple Mansion cultivators of Yunzhou, the five Purple Mansion cultivators from Qinglian Temple were undoubtedly better prepared.

They had a clear division of labor; some of them were specifically tasked with using wind magic to dispel the dark clouds summoned by the black dragon, preventing it from having the opportunity to summon wind and rain.

Some people deliberately set fires to burn away the black clouds protecting the black dragon's body and boil the river water.

Two other people are dedicated to defense, responsible for intercepting and defending against the Black Dragon's attacks.

The one who ultimately carried out the killings was a Taoist priest in black robes.

He is also a sword cultivator!

However, he wielded not just one flying sword, but two, one black and one white.

Under the black-robed Taoist's sword techniques, the two flying swords, one black and one white, seemed like two black and white dragons, relentlessly circling and slaying the black dragon.

The black dragon's body, which had once left Lu Jianqiu, a Purple Mansion cultivator from the Lu family of Mingjian Mountain, helpless, was now being torn apart by the two flying swords, its scales shattering and flowing with strands of crimson dragon blood.

This kind of clearly defined battle is very pleasing to the eye, as if you are not watching a life-or-death battle, but a wonderful battle performance.

Compared to the dragon-slaying battle launched by five Purple Mansion stage cultivators in Yunzhou a few months ago, it's simply a case of comparing goods and throwing them away!

At least the few Yunzhou Purple Mansion cultivators who had arrived at Feima Mountain at this moment all looked ashamed and felt inferior after seeing this scene.

This is probably the difference between a regular army and a ragtag army!

Even Zhou Chun, a Qi Refining stage cultivator, could tell from afar that the battlefield was now completely dominated by the Qinglian Temple cultivators.

The black dragon was like a bird caught in a spider's web; no matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape and fly away.

The most likely outcome is that they will die silently after exhausting their strength.

He couldn't help but whisper, "They have absolutely no power to resist. Judging from this, unless something unexpected happens, the Black Dragon probably won't last long before it perishes!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoyi shook his head, his tone slightly lecturing, and said, "What else did you think? How could the strength of a Purple Mansion stage cultivator from a major sect like Qinglian Temple be comparable to that of an ordinary Purple Mansion stage cultivator?"

"They've been preparing for this for almost a year. If they can't win spectacularly, wouldn't that be a disgrace to their own country?"

Zhou Chun understood his meaning and quickly defended himself, saying, "That's not what I meant. It's just that the previous azure dragon's achievements were so astonishing that I assumed today's battle would be extremely dangerous as well!"

"I've heard about that battle. If the Black Flood Dragon hadn't arrived in time, the Azure Flood Dragon, who had already used its inner core, would have been defeated and killed very soon. We shouldn't exaggerate the strength of the Flood Dragon based on this!"

Zhou Daoyi sighed softly, "Actually, the strength of a flood dragon is already quite formidable. Under normal circumstances, very few human cultivators can defeat a flood dragon of the same level in a one-on-one fight; usually, it requires the help of multiple cultivators of the same level!"

He is undoubtedly very qualified to speak on this matter.

During the previous battle between the five major immortal cultivation families and the "Qiyun Alliance," he used a secret technique to activate the dragon bloodline within his spirit pet, the Azure Cloud Python, allowing it to transform from a python into a dragon and temporarily become one.

He relied on this trump card in that battle to easily kill three Foundation Establishment cultivators and gain great fame.

After exchanging a few words, the two stopped talking and continued to watch the game intently.

As time went by, the black dragon's wounds multiplied, its injuries worsened, and its mental state became increasingly volatile and furious.

hold head high--

Suddenly, the black dragon let out a high-pitched roar, and thick columns of water suddenly exploded on the river surface, shooting straight towards the Purple Mansion cultivators in the sky.

Then it turned its head and instantly disappeared into the riverbed.

"Watch closely, the most exciting part is coming, and this is the most difficult part of slaying the dragon in the rivers and lakes!"

Zhou Daoyi, standing beside Zhou Chun, saw the black dragon enter the water and his expression immediately hardened. He whispered a reminder to Zhou Chun.

Before Zhou Chun could even ask, the five Qinglian Temple cultivators immediately took action.

Instead of risking entering the water to pursue the black dragon, the five people called out to the twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators watching from the outside.

In an instant, the twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators, as if they had rehearsed beforehand, swiftly flew to both banks of the great river, each taking out a metal pillar engraved with intricate spiritual patterns from their storage bags and driving it into the ground.

Then each of them took out a small blue flag, held it in their hand, and infused it with magic.

Soon, as the small blue flags in the hands of the twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators transformed into large flags, they gripped the flags tightly and worked together to activate the formation they had just set up.

Two blue spiritual dragons emerged from the sky and swiftly plunged into the surging river.

Then a magical scene unfolded!

The once surging river, flowing downstream, was suddenly guided by a mysterious force, rapidly changing course and breaking through the mountains on both sides, directly altering its course!

As the river changed course, the water level in a section of the river that was more than ten miles long quickly dropped, exposing the silt at the bottom of the river.

This transformation, which was almost like moving mountains and filling seas, stunned Zhou Chun and many other cultivators on Mount Feima who witnessed it.

Before this, apart from a few people, probably no one could have imagined that they would witness such a scene of moving mountains and filling seas today.

Moreover, those who unleashed such supernatural powers were not those old monsters in the Golden Core stage with a lifespan of a thousand years, but a dozen or so Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!

Just as Zhou Chun was stunned by this scene, Zhou Daoyi, who was standing next to him, spoke up.

"This formation is called the Two Dragons Dividing Water Formation. It is an essential formation for slaying dragons in rivers, lakes, and marshes. Only by using this formation to divert the water and neutralize the dragon's advantageous terrain can one successfully slay the dragon at a relatively low cost!"

"Don't let the simplicity of this formation fool you. In reality, neither the equipment used to set it up nor the twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators required are things that ordinary forces could gather and prepare!"

Is this formation really that simple?

Looking at the surging river that had changed course, Zhou Chun was speechless at Zhou Daoyi's words.

You must know that the Cangyun River in front of him is no less than the Yangtze River in his previous life, and its water flow is even greater!

Such a great river was easily dammed and its course changed; what incredible power that is!

Before Zhou Chun could recover from his shock and offer any opinion, the five Purple Mansion cultivators from the Azure Lotus Temple made their move again.

The Taoist priest, who was known for his flamboyant manner, waved a blue flag, and a massive tornado that seemed to pierce the heavens and earth appeared on the exposed muddy riverbed, directly scooping up countless silts and transporting them elsewhere.

Then, one of the Taoist priests in charge of guarding the area made a hand seal, and a beam of yellow light fell onto the riverbank and mountain wall, causing a loud rumble that shook the entire mountain.

Amidst this violent tremor, the entrance to the dragon's lair, which had been concealed by the black dragon, was finally revealed.

The pitch-black cave, large enough to accommodate seven or eight people walking side by side, is unknown how many feet deep it is, and you can see the gurgling river water inside.

Gazing at the pitch-black cave, the Taoist priest, whose power had shaken the mountain peaks, roared in a deep voice, "You wretched creatures, if you don't come out now, don't blame me for destroying the mountain and burying you alive inside!"

He wasn't bluffing; he genuinely possessed the ability to destroy mountains and hills.

Of course, even if he could destroy the mountain, he would most likely not be able to crush the dragon inside.

Otherwise, why would he bother to say so much?

But Black Dragon certainly doesn't understand these things.

Seeing the river water diverted and its nest exposed, facing a crisis of destruction, how could it still feel at ease hiding in its nest?

Inside the cave, dark shadows darted about, and soon the black dragon that had previously fled to the bottom of the river reappeared.

In less than half an hour, its hideous wounds had healed almost completely.

Such a recovery ability is truly terrifying.

Seeing the black dragon emerge from its cave again, the black-clad Taoist priest riding a sword immediately roared, "You wicked beast! You have caused floods and committed atrocities, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of people on both banks and the displacement of countless others. Today is the day you are beheaded and executed!"

Before he finished speaking, he once again commanded the black and white swords to attack the black dragon.

I'm a little tired!! It's been a long time since I've done this much typing; my cervical spine seems to be giving out!
