Qingzhou, Yongle County, Xuanen Mansion.

Within a grand mansion, surrounded by lush gardens and rockeries with flowing water.

In a cool pavilion, a tall man with his abdomen soaked in blood knelt before a woman.

"Useless!"

The atmosphere remained silent for over an unknown length of time before the woman slowly began to speak, coldly spitting out two words.

The tall man’s body trembled, not daring to utter another word, fearful of provoking the woman further.

"A Divine Archer, two Grandmasters, and you – a Great Demon of the Demon King Realm – still couldn’t handle a country bumpkin!"

"Tell me... with them all dead, of what use is it to keep you?"

The woman’s voice continued, especially the chilling tone of the last sentence, which almost penetrated one’s marrow!

The man who was the Eagle Lord in disguise suddenly lifted his head, looking at the woman with a frosty complexion before him, and spoke fearfully, "Young Sect Master! This was my oversight!"

"I underestimated the boy’s archery. Just give me one more chance, and I will surely bring back his head!"

He quickly pleaded with the woman for mercy.

In front of the woman, the mighty Great Demon of the Demon King Realm, the Eagle Demon, was now trembling like a tiny chick!

The woman kept silent for a moment before finally speaking, "One last chance, if you fail to kill him, don’t bother returning."

The Eagle Lord’s eyes lit up instantly as he promised, "Rest assured, Young Sect Master, I will definitely kill that boy this time!"

The woman did not respond but slowly stretched out her hand and passed a small jade sword to the Eagle Lord, saying, "This sword talisman contains a Sword Qi from my father."

"This time... I will not tolerate failure!"

The Eagle Lord, seeing the sword talisman for an instant, was ecstatic.

At this moment, his confidence surged to its utmost.

He promptly nodded and said, "Young Sect Master, be at ease! With this sword talisman from the Sect Master, even if Qin Lihu were before me, I would be able to kill him as well!"

"Hmm, go now,"

said the woman.

The Eagle Lord quickly stood up, then left the pavilion, transformed into his demon form, and soared into the sky.

At the original spot, the woman’s eyes were full of icy coldness.

For killing her son, there must be a price to pay!

Martial Saint, my son, if your father can’t avenge you, your mother will!

...

Gallop! Gallop!

Two fierce horses dashed along the road, kicking up clouds of dust.

On horseback were none other than Wang Weiqian, clad in armor and wielding a halberd,

and alongside him, Qin Zheng carrying a large sword and bow!

Wang Weiqian relayed orders at the prefectural office and without taking any rest, took Qin Zheng and once again hurried towards the Cold Avoidance Pond.

The Great General, after battling the old Flood Dragon, was severely injured; it was unknown how much longer he could hold on.

Wang Weiqian did not dare delay, and without explaining the situation to Qin Zheng, took him towards the Cold Avoidance Pond.

With this in mind, Wang Weiqian’s eyes were filled with a grim seriousness.

The old Flood Dragon was transforming towards the Demon Saint Realm, becoming stronger and stronger; if the standoff continued, the Great General might not be able to take it down.

Presumably, the Great General had also realized this and decided to initiate the final battle!

The reason for bringing Qin Zheng to the Cold Avoidance Pond must be because he admired Qin Zheng’s extraordinary physical strength and his terrifying effectiveness against Monsters.

Mo Xu Mountain, Cangfeng Mountain – he said kill, and the demon kings were dead.

With such an individual, the deterrent effect on the monsters of the Four Corners Mountain surrounding the Cold Avoidance Pond would be stronger than that of him and Liu Mingyi!

They could indeed kill the monsters of a whole mountain, but they could not do it as decisively and effortlessly as Qin Zheng.

Moreover, having various concerns, they had never carried out such actions.

But now that Qin Zheng had done it, his deterrent effect in the hearts of the monsters would be stronger than any of them, the Minor Generals!

This was Wang Weiqian’s speculation.

Otherwise, it could not be that the Great General was sending him to help slay the old Flood Dragon, could it?

That is what Wang Weiqian thought.

At this moment, Qin Zheng also had many thoughts flashing through his mind, his eyes sparkling with a keen light.

One moment ago, he was contemplating how to acquire a bowstring that met his requirements.

The next, Wang Weiqian arrived at the prefectural office, instructing him to head to the Cold Avoidance Pond!

The old Flood Dragon of the Cold Avoidance Pond, the only Flood Dragon Demon in Huai’an Prefecture, was on the verge of transforming and advancing to the Demon Saint Realm!

Much of Cam Renp’s strength was restrained by this Flood Dragon Demon!

If he could use this Flood Dragon’s tendons as a bowstring this time, his own combat power might reach yet another level!

Arrows shot with the force of twenty thousand catties – there would be few under heaven who could withstand them!

At least... Wang Weiqian, the Minor General of Cam Renp at his side, would be utterly unable to block them.

Thinking this, Qin Zheng couldn’t help but give the other a glance.

Feeling his gaze, Wang Weiqian’s spirits returned his attention and he said to Qin Zheng, "The situation at the Cold Avoidance Pond is tense. You need to prepare to kill the monsters."

For Qin Zheng, slaying monsters was, naturally, an utterly simple task.

He nodded and then said, "How strong is the old Flood Dragon? Can General Wang inform me?"

Honestly, during the battle at Cangfeng Mountain, aside from the Great Eagle of the Demon King Realm, the rest were easily killed without much effort.

Since that Great Eagle had been flying in the sky and Qin Zheng was limited by his great bow, he couldn’t fully utilize his strength.

Now, about to face a Great Demon of the Demon King Realm, he was quite itching for a fight.

Wang Weiqian naturally did not notice his thoughts, and simply assumed Qin Zheng wanted to understand the power of the old Flood Dragon in Cold Avoidance Pond.

Thus, after pondering for a moment, he began gravely, "That old Flood Dragon is currently undergoing a transformation, and its strength is increasing daily."

"You know that among beings of the same realm, monsters are generally weaker than humans, but this applies only to ordinary monsters."

"However, for Flood Dragon Demons with a trace of Dragon Blood, those that have the chance to transform into True Dragons, they are instead stronger than the human race!"

"The old Flood Dragon in Cold Avoidance Pond, originally no weaker than a Great Grandmaster of the human race, is now nearing transformation, becoming even stronger. The Great General is barely managing to hold it at bay."

"Therefore... the reason you have been hastily summoned to Cold Avoidance Pond is precisely because the Great General has decided to strike with deadly force, to capture the old Flood Dragon and give it no more time or opportunity!"

"As a result, when you get there, it is very likely that a great battle will erupt!"

Wang Weiqian’s voice was filled with gravity.

Qin Zheng, however, was keenly focused on the words ’True Dragon’ that the other had mentioned.

With slightly raised eyebrows, he asked, "Do True Dragons really exist in this world?"

Despite having encountered numerous monsters, True Dragons remained, to Qin Zheng, like mythical creatures that could only exist within the tales of legends.

Soaring through the heavens, roaming the four seas, carrying the power of wind, rain, and thunder and lightning.

Upon hearing his question, Wang Weiqian was momentarily taken aback, seemingly caught off guard by Qin Zheng’s focus.

But soon after, he nodded and said, "While True Dragons have not been seen, Flood Dragons indeed exist."

"The old Flood Dragon in Cold Avoidance Pond is currently transforming toward becoming a Flood Dragon."

"Moreover, in Cangyuan River, the largest river in Qingzhou, there exists an ancient Flood Dragon of terrifying strength, personally subdued by the Commander-in-chief."

Qin Zheng nodded and narrowed his eyes, deep in thought, then fell silent.

Seeing that he did not speak further, Wang Weiqian naturally fell silent too.

For a while, the only sound was the galloping of two steeds, quickly advancing toward Cold Avoidance Pond.

Several hours later, the two finally arrived at Camp Renp’s encampment near Cold Avoidance Pond.

Dismounting from his horse, Qin Zheng’s gaze was immediately drawn to the verdant Cold Avoidance Pond.

There, a sense of danger emerged at his brow, as if warning him of a presence there that could threaten his life.

A monster that could threaten a Great Grandmaster was indeed extraordinary!

Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed.

Then, he withdrew his gaze and followed Wang Weiqian into one of the camp’s tents.

A faint scent of blood wafted from inside.

Different from the strong odor of demon blood outside, what emanated here was the smell of human blood, forcibly suppressed and extremely faint.

With his heightened senses, Qin Zheng instantly detected this scent upon entering.

His gaze immediately moved to see a man dressed in a black Mystic Robe, with a resolute face and eyebrows sharp as swords, sitting at the higher seat in the tent, also looking toward him.

The smell of blood came from him!

This Great Grandmaster who defended Huai’an Prefecture was actually seriously injured?!

"Great General, I have brought Qin Zheng!"

Wang Weiqian stepped forward and reported to Qin Lihu with a fist salute.

"Thank you for your efforts."

Qin Lihu nodded and responded.

Then he turned his gaze to Qin Zheng and said, "General Wang conveyed to me that he had found an uncarved piece of Jade in need of immediate recruitment into my Camp Renp, and thus, I wanted to meet you."

"Unfortunately, confined here, guarding this old Flood Dragon, I’m unable to leave."

"Not much time has passed, and I’ve already heard news of you again, slaying a mountain of monsters, deterring the multitude of demons within Huai’an Prefecture from acting rashly."

"Your talent is even more formidable than I imagined!"

A smile slowly surfaced on Qin Lihu’s face.

Qin Zheng immediately responded with a fist salute, "Great General, you overpraise me!"

Qin Lihu shook his head with a smile and then said, "Once things here are settled, tidy yourself up, I will take you to meet the Commander-in-chief."

At these words, not only was Qin Zheng taken aback, but even Wang Weiqian was momentarily startled.

Commander-in-chief!

That was a rank that managed the military affairs of a province, standing in equal status to the Provincial Governor!

And the ultimate figure in Qingzhou for their Demon Slayers, rumored to be only half a step away from entering the Martial Saint Realm!

For Qin Lihu to take Qin Zheng to meet the Commander-in-chief clearly had an undeniable significance.

He intended to have the Commander-in-chief mentor Qin Zheng!

"Great General..."

Wang Weiqian opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

The Commander-in-chief’s camp wasn’t lacking in geniuses, with the most top-tier talents throughout Qingzhou having been gathered there.

But their Camp Renp was now weak in strength and was precisely in need of someone like Qin Zheng!

A glint flickered in Qin Zheng’s eyes.

To him, where he went made little difference.

As long as he could learn powerful martial skills and had a place to accumulate merits, even if it meant returning to Black Goose City, it wouldn’t matter.

At this moment, though, he could feel that this Great General of Camp Renp, whom he was meeting for the first time, truly had his best interests at heart.

Qin Lihu gestured for Wang Weiqian to remain silent, continuing, "Enough of that, go get some rest."

"By noon tomorrow, I shall enter the pond to slay the demon!"
