Chapter 62 Dao 1 Battles the Flood Dragon
Xue Hongshang, who couldn't discern the dragon's strength at all, didn't dare to even breathe loudly.
At the same time, he deeply regretted his decision to cast the spell in the lake.
If she had known she would attract such a creature, she would never have come to this remote and impoverished place in the Eastern Wilderness!
What's even more infuriating is that Zhuge Shen, that good-for-nothing, didn't foresee at all that we would encounter such a dangerous situation today.
The young Taoist boy, who had been complained about by Xue Hongshang, saw that the dragon had its eyes on Xue Hongshang and secretly blamed his unreliable master.
Before I came, they said it was just a lingering remnant, no stronger than a Golden Core cultivator, and that I could go without worry, as I would have no danger to my life.
Today, things have gotten really bad; we've attracted such a big guy.
Hopefully, Xue Hongshang has strong enough means to protect herself.
Given the current situation, I don't even have a chance to collect her body myself; I can only go back and eat at her feast.
Little did the young Taoist know that the dragon roar his master heard was not the same as the dragon in question.
Even if Chen Chunan had obtained the fake core essence, his pair of sword pellets were only spiritual objects at the Foundation Establishment level.
Indeed, they did not surpass the Golden Core stage; otherwise, how could those Nascent Soul stage experts feel at ease letting a group of Golden Core juniors come?
No family would use their true teachings as consumables.
While observing the dragon's reaction, the young Taoist priest cautiously moved away, just as he thought the dragon hadn't noticed him.
A stream of pure energy was exhaled from the dragon's mouth, instantly binding it tightly.
When Xue Hongshang saw the dragon rush towards the young Taoist boy, she abandoned all sense of morality and righteousness.
They should just slip away and make a run for it.
But just as he used his escape technique, he was pressed to the ground by a dragon claw in the next instant.
The dragon head peered at the two with interest: "I dwell in the underground water veins and have rarely appeared before humans for thousands of years. How did you know I was here, and why are you searching for me?"
For millennia, underground water veins.
Two short words were enough for Zhuge Shen to deduce the truth.
This dragon certainly doesn't look like a real dragon. A real dragon is a celestial being; it would probably turn to ashes if it blew a breath at the dragon.
But he had already determined that this place was formed from the remains of a true dragon.
Since the remnant soul was not seen but this dragon was seen, it is likely that an aquatic creature from the underground water veins had luckily obtained a dragon pearl or the legacy of a true dragon.
Therefore, after transforming into a dragon, it becomes distinct from ordinary dragons and more closely resembles a true dragon.
The fact that it has never emerged from underground water veins also indicates that this dragon prefers tranquility and does not like to stir up trouble.
Although he has been captured, there may still be room for maneuver.
Thinking of this, the young Taoist glanced at Xue Hongshang, who was being slapped to the ground like an insect by the dragon's claws.
He said cautiously, "I came here to search for the true dragon's remains because I heard rumors that a divine being slew a dragon here. I apologize for disturbing you, senior dragon."
Upon hearing the young Taoist's words, the true dragon exhaled two streams of steam from its nostrils.
Just as they were about to reprimand him, a voice filled with ecstatic joy was heard.
"A dragon? What good fortune! What good fortune! I came here only because of my junior brother's death, but I never expected to encounter such a great opportunity..."
The words of the newcomer instantly enraged the dragon.
He immediately ignored the young Taoist boy and Xue Hongshang, and instead stared intently at the person in front of him.
The newcomer was none other than Zong Yao's eldest senior brother, accompanied by two junior brothers who had also come on orders.
But the eldest brother thought it was a stroke of luck, while Zongshi and the fifth brother next to him did not.
The eldest brother has already entered the Nascent Soul stage, and today's visit is yet another avatar.
However, the two of them were only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and were still far from reaching the Nascent Soul realm.
Facing this dragon wouldn't be much better than Xue Hongshang being slammed to the ground by a claw.
The two exchanged a glance and silently protected their senior brother's avatar in front of them.
The senior brother was already a Nascent Soul True Monarch, so how could he possibly hide their little tricks from him?
However, he had always looked down on the two of them, and since they were weak and could not help at all, he did not take them seriously.
They focused their attention solely on the dragon.
Although he had only recently entered the Nascent Soul stage, this avatar was created by his master using the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator who specialized in body refinement and pursued the path of physical sainthood. He didn't take ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators seriously.
Xue Hongshang couldn't discern the dragon's strength, but he could.
At best, it's only equivalent to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Although he was only at the first minor realm, he was confident that taking down this wild dragon would not be difficult with his own methods.
The dragon was enraged by the undisguised greed of the True Man Shoucheng.
Abandoning Zhuge Shen and Xue Hongshang, he unleashed a bolt of lightning at Shoucheng.
Xue Hongshang and Zhuge Shen saw that Dao Yimen Shoucheng Zhenjun had drawn the fire for them.
They quickly slipped away and made a hasty retreat.
When Lord Shoucheng saw the dragon summoning lightning to attack, he not only did not evade it, but instead went forward to meet it head-on and used his physical body to withstand the lightning.
Then he showed a satisfied expression, as if he had taken a warm bath and felt refreshed.
The dragon's pupils contracted slightly; this human, whose cultivation level was clearly inferior to its own, seemed to be somewhat extraordinary.
Upon seeing this scene, Zongshi seemed to be doing it on purpose, and exclaimed in amazement, "I had long heard that with Master's help, Senior Brother used a Nascent Soul body to cultivate a body as solid as a rock and create an external avatar. Seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary. He can even withstand a dragon."
Upon hearing this, Shoucheng's face instantly darkened.
However, the dragon had just failed to achieve its first attack and had already struck again.
He had no interest in dealing with this traitor Zong Shi. With a wave of his hand, the seventy-two array flags completely covered the dragon.
Immediately, a small sword was thrown out and transformed into the core of the formation. Instantly, raging flames shot into the sky, transforming into a fiery red lotus flower that trapped the dragon.
Shoucheng smiled smugly as he watched the dragon charge left and right but unable to break through the formation.
"Heh heh, my seventy-two Blazing Sky Banners, drawing upon even a tiny bit of the sun's fire essence, would give even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator a headache. You little dragon, you're doomed today!"
As he spoke, he stepped into the formation, ready to slay the dragon.
The biggest difference between humans and demons lies in their lineage. Humans are among the best in the world, whether it is in talisman crafting, treasure refining, or magic.
Monsters of the same level have almost no chance of winning against humans, unless some ancient remnants are born with great supernatural powers.
Although the dragon looked extraordinary, Shoucheng was confident that he could defeat it.
However, he was unaware that this was the place where the Dragon Balls fell.
Even though millions of years have passed, and only a fraction of the true dragon energy remains in the Dragon Ball, it is still a remnant of the true immortal level.
How could a dragon that has obtained this energy only possess such limited abilities?
Upon seeing Shoucheng enter the formation, the dragon, which had been charging around like a mindless beast, instantly coiled up like a snake, its golden beast eyes filled with mockery.
Shoucheng met that gaze, and his heart skipped a beat.
But before he could react, the rain began to pour down silently.
His seventy-two blazing banners were instantly soaked with cloth.
"How about my Yin True Water? Can it extinguish your Yang True Fire?"
As the dragon spoke, it lashed out with its tail.
In his haste, Shoucheng could only summon his magical artifact to withstand the attack, and the next second he was smashed deep into the ground like a cannonball.
While fleeing for her life, Xue Hongshang asked Zhuge Shen in bewilderment, "Has this True Lord Shoucheng always been this brave? This dragon must have received the inheritance of a true dragon. Even my senior Qingjiao from the Chaotian Palace is no match for this one who only has the appearance of a dragon. How dare he?"
Zhuge Shen also looked on with admiration: "My sect and the Daoist sect have always been at odds. I didn't know that this Daoist sect's Lord Shoucheng would have such courage. He is truly admirable!"
The "brave" Shoucheng was whipped into the ground by the dragon's tail, and he felt dizzy.
It took him some effort to break through the soil. The first thing he did upon emerging was to summon his protective treasures, then he charged towards the dragon, shouting, "My lord! Why aren't you making your move!"
