Chapter 70 A Casual Talk of Subduing Dragons and Tigers
Chen Chunan's chance encounter with Liu Guisheng brought a sigh of relief to Xin Yuan.
It was truly exhausted from chasing.
Liu Guisheng possesses the Heavenly Secrets Technique, which he occasionally conceals. Although it is sensitive to the aura of calamity, this intermittent sensing is driving it somewhat crazy.
Seeing that he had actually run into the real person by chance, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Every sip and every bite is truly preordained. If I hadn't pursued him, he would still be hiding in Lingzhou. I chased him across three continents, bringing him right under my nose. I started this calamity with a curse, and now it's time to end it with killing. Brilliant! Brilliant!"
Having said that, Xin Yuan felt a sense of ease and somersaulted into the clouds, disappearing from sight.
On the other side, Liu Guisheng never expected to encounter Chen Chunan again, hundreds of thousands of miles away.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and activated the small teleportation talisman he had been hiding in his sleeve as soon as he sensed the killing intent, he would have been decapitated by now.
Even with his quick reflexes, Chen Chunan still managed to pierce his left shoulder with a single sword strike, nearly tearing him apart.
Having been teleported out by the small teleportation talisman, he quickly took out a bottle of pills with his still-mobile right hand and swallowed them whole, which made him feel a little better.
He then quickly took out the Heavenly Secrets Disc, intending to cast another spell to conceal his own calamity aura.
But what he saw before him completely broke him down; the wisp of calamity energy on the Heavenly Secrets Plate, which symbolized his own, had already connected with another wisp of calamity energy.
There's no way to hide it anymore.
Having no other option, Liu Guisheng activated another small teleportation talisman to continue his escape.
As Chen Chunan followed the aura of calamity, he sensed that old dog Liu Guisheng had teleported again.
He sneered inwardly, "The calamity's aura is already intertwined; running away now will be futile!"
Immediately, the sword light flashed and transformed into a rainbow as it pursued the enemy.
……
Upper reaches of Pingjiang
A white dragon poked its head out of the river and opened its mouth to take the moonlight.
Strands of white light converged into a wisp of moonlight, which was slowly absorbed by its dragon pearl.
After nine cycles of cultivation, the moonlight condensed into the dragon pearl, making it appear even more translucent.
The white dragon was overjoyed and satisfied as it retrieved the dragon pearl. Its body soared into the sky, tumbling and swimming in the clouds as if playing.
Soon, a fluctuation of magical power caught its attention.
A flash of light appeared, and an old human man, covered in blood and looking disheveled, appeared on the riverbank.
The next moment, a loud explosion rang out, and a human cultivator was chasing after them, riding on a sword beam.
It looked down at the old man covered in blood, then at the approaching sword light.
A story of human feuds instantly took shape in its mind.
"Humans are truly a race full of emotions; they're either killing each other or falling in love. It's really interesting!"
Chen Chunan, riding the sword light, followed the guidance of the calamity energy and chased after them at top speed once again.
Looking at Liu Guisheng, whose breathing was disordered and who was too weak to run anymore.
A surge of pleasure welled up inside him: "You old dog! When you killed my parents and caused the tragic deaths of my people, did you ever think of this day?"
Liu Guisheng smiled bitterly: "I only regret that I wasn't ruthless enough. If I had killed you too, this disaster wouldn't have happened! A 17-year-old Golden Core cultivator! A 17-year-old Golden Core cultivator! I truly regret not killing you sooner!"
"Truly incorrigible!"
Chen Chunan turned his sword and was about to kill Liu Guisheng.
But as soon as he activated his inner energy, he realized something was wrong.
Liu Guisheng seemed to have deliberately repeated the phrase "17-year-old Golden Core," and his occasional glances at the sky were clearly malicious.
Chen Chunan's heart skipped a beat.
Following Liu Guisheng's gaze, Chen Chunan instantly felt a chill run down his spine.
A hornless white dragon, over a hundred feet long, disappeared into the clouds, its enormous head peeking out as it looked at them with great interest.
When Liu Guisheng saw that Chen Chunan had discovered the Chilong, he could no longer suppress his triumphant joy.
He couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Chen Chunan! How does it feel to catch up to this Nascent Soul demon! I'm doomed today, but if I can take you down with me, it'll be worth it! A seventeen-year-old Golden Core cultivator? This is fate's will that you be buried with me! Hahaha~"
Chen Chunan's face turned ugly. He never expected that this old dog would move so far that he would be right under Bai Chi's nose.
Just as he was thinking about how to escape after killing Liu Guisheng,
The white dragon suddenly spoke.
"Kill as many people as you want, I'm just here to watch the show, don't worry about me."
Hearing the sudden female voice, Chen Chunan was somewhat stunned—was this a female dragon? No, wait, a female dragon-like creature?
Chen Chunan breathed a sigh of relief and bowed gratefully, saying, "Thank you for your help, Senior Chilong."
He then looked at Liu Guisheng with a cold smile: "Old dog! Do you know what death is?"
Liu Guisheng saw that Bai Chi had no intention of killing Chen Chunan.
It immediately became anxious. Weren't the demon race and the human race sworn enemies? Why would it have such an attitude?
Didn't I say that this is a 17-year-old Jin Dan?
Are you deaf?
He couldn't care less about anything else at the moment: "Bai Chi, this person is only 17 years old and already possesses the ability of a Golden Core cultivator! If you don't kill him, he will surely kill you in the future."
Chen Chunan knew he couldn't let this old dog continue, so he unleashed two sword beams that rolled like dragons.
In a single blow, Liu Guisheng was crushed into dust.
Completely annihilated, body and soul!
With his great revenge fulfilled, the hatred and murderous intent that had been festering in Chen Chunan's heart receded like a tide.
Chen Chunan was momentarily bewildered.
After the initial confusion, Chen Chunan's mind cleared.
All sorts of things from the past came flooding back to my mind.
Chen Chunan suddenly realized:
Calamity originates in the heart and manifests in the liver and kidneys.
Therefore, the *Yin Fu Jing* states: "The evils of the nine orifices lie in the three essentials (heart, liver, and kidneys)."
Therefore, spiritual practice requires eliminating the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance.
But abandoning greed, anger, and ignorance is not the same as remaining secluded in the mountains.
Cultivation is about controlling one's nature with one's mind, as long as one adheres to the bottom line that right and wrong cannot coexist and good and evil cannot go hand in hand.
Even if one is moved by anger or desire, as long as one is not deluded by them, it will not hinder one's spiritual practice.
Even the Buddha has moments of fierce anger, let alone humans.
The Liu family exploits smaller clans, sucking the blood of all living beings, and will destroy a family and clan if they are displeased by a single thought.
Chen herself only wanted to escape, but it brought disaster upon her clan, resulting in the tragic deaths of her people.
Furthermore, it fosters demonic cultivators like Blood Demons who practice demonic arts to harm people and benefit themselves. Isn't this evil and wicked?
Punishing evil can promote good.
How can killing Liu Shi not be considered observing the way of Heaven and acting in accordance with Heaven's will?
Ancient legends of immortals are full of those who punish evil and promote good, and slay demons and monsters, such as Zhang Tianshi, who could destroy mountains and temples with ease.
But this did not prevent him from becoming an immortal.
I have always hated evil as if it were my enemy. If I were to encounter demons causing trouble or evil cultivators causing trouble, and I were to have to consider anger and poison, then I would truly be going against my true nature.
A single thought arises, and all doubts vanish.
The acquired Qi of the Liver (Wood) and Lung (Metal) has already transformed into the virtues of Wood and Metal.
From this day forward, all dragons and tigers will be subdued!
A divine power quietly formed in Chen Chunan's heart—Subduing Dragons and Tigers!
Chen Chunan was overjoyed and couldn't help but recite: "Don't say that high virtue can subdue dragons and tigers, or that great virtue can be revered by ghosts and gods! I have already attained supernatural powers and can subdue ordinary dragons and tigers. Subduing true dragons and tigers in the future is just around the corner!"
As soon as Chen Chunan said it, he realized something was wrong.
A murderous aura suddenly appeared and poured down from the sky.
This sent a chill down Chen Chunan's spine.
"Oh dear! It's true what they say, 'A tongue can cause trouble.' How could I have forgotten that there's a dragon here? If I utter 'Subduing the Dragon and Taming the Tiger,' I'm afraid I'll offend it to death."
Sure enough, the next second, a voice filled with murderous intent rang out: "Subduing dragons and tigers? What arrogance! I'm right here, try and subdue one of them!"
