Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Failing to Be a Filial Son

Outside Qingshan County, more than four hundred miles to the southwest.

A vast expanse of mountains presents a tragic and fierce scene.

Within a ten-mile radius, the forests and woods are in utter disarray.

Mountains have collapsed; the earth has split open with fierce, ferocious fissures.

Flames surge skyward, dyeing half of the night sky red.

Scattered across the battlefield are the remains of giant beasts, horses, and the flesh and blood of Human Demons.

A broken Azure Dragon Banner is carelessly planted atop a half-destroyed palanquin.

At this moment, a low hill suddenly erupts with a thunderous roar, before being violently hurled into the air.

Immediately following that, a flash of golden light bursts from the ground and shoots into the high sky.

A pair of silver eyes fiercely emits two dazzling Divine Lights, sweeping a stern gaze in every direction.

Chen Yuan, his hair disheveled, his clothes torn, with traces of crimson blood on the corners of his mouth, his right shoulder stained with blood, exudes an aura of savagery from head to toe.

In his hand, he firmly grasps a huge claw as thick as a tree trunk and three meters long.

The sharp claw shines with a cold light like a blade, covered densely with blue scales upward from the claw, the severed flesh fierce and still twitching as if freshly torn off.

It is unmistakably a fierce Evil Dragon Claw!

In the next second, Chen Yuan’s body turns into a fleeting shadow, dashing toward the southeast direction at breakneck speed.

Half an hour later, a dozen miles away, a Human Demon is horrified to see a burst of golden light violently falling down in front of him, a sudden flash of golden light shattering the wildly galloping horse beneath him.

While he screams in terror, he is sent flying more than ten meters and crashes into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Immediately after, a large foot mercilessly stomps on his face.

A pair of terrifying silver eyes stares at him unblinkingly, the sound of teeth grinding emanating from his mouth, filled with a chilling intent to kill.

"Where is that Evil Dragon?"

This Human Demon feels a piercing pain, his facial bones shattering, his mouth filled with blood and letting out a miserable scream.

But at this moment, he can’t concern himself with the pain; the fearsome figure before him is making his entire body uncontrollably tremble.

Just now, while frantically fleeing for several miles, he suddenly heard a heaven-shocking dragon’s roar and witnessed a terrifying sight!

This man actually managed to tear off the claw of a Venerable, who was in the form of a dragon, even when besieged by ten High-level Demon Slaves and the Venerable himself.

Then, the Green Dragon Venerable let out a furious howl, causing the ten High-level Demon Slaves to self-destruct, before making a swift escape.

"Spare... spare my life, the Venerable... went that way!"

The Human Demon points in a direction, his spirit completely overtaken by the terror of Chen Yuan.

He had just finished speaking,

"CRUNCH,"

Chen Yuan’s foot comes down fiercely, crushing his head like a burst watermelon, sending red and white matter flying everywhere.

Subsequently, his figure flashes, shooting golden light in the indicated direction.

Like this, Chen Yuan fiercely pursues for a hundred miles.

But in the end, he finds nothing.

He still allowed that Evil Dragon to escape!

Chen Yuan fought the opponent for dozens of rounds, exchanging injury for injury, and only then seizing the opportunity to engage in close combat, he managed to tear off one of the dragon’s claws.

Unexpectedly, with the help of the fearless explosive sacrifice of the Demon Slaves by its side, the opponent escaped.

After the battle just now, he roughly assessed his own combat power, believing that given a bit more time, the Evil Dragon would have died by his hand.

This was his greatest reliance!

Thinking this, he lowers his head and closes his eyes; a Sword sound resonates within the Mud Ball.

A Big Sword stands trembling on the peak of a mountain.

During the fierce battle with the Evil Dragon, he condensed a Tao Seed and upgraded his Sword Skill Divine Power to Perfection. Following that, like a River flow, the Sword Ball in his Dantian materialized into a sword seed within the Mud Ball.

Immediately after, he opens his eyes, his brow furrowed.

He had originally intended to pour all several hundred Luck Points gained from killing those Human Demons tonight into the thirty-six mountains’ Tao Seeds, which had already taken True Form.

As a result, he encountered a situation he had never faced before; he couldn’t increase his Luck Points any further.

That is to say, the evolution from Tao Seed to Taoist Soldier wasn’t possible with just Light Qi Fortune Points.

According to the hints from the Banshan Tiger Talisman, to cultivate a Taoist Soldier, one also needs Geng Metal.

Thus, amidst a fierce battle, Chen Yuan had no choice but to settle for second best, bringing his Sword Skill Divine Power to perfection and achieving the second Tao Seed.

"It seems I’ll have to go back and study this!"

The silver light dissipated from Chen Yuan’s eyes as he glanced at the pitch-black night, letting out a howl that shook the mountains and forests.

Then, he suddenly turned back, shooting towards the direction of Qingshan County.

At this moment, several miles away, beneath the raging, roaring waters of the Nu River and under the silt, a pair of azure eyes slowly opened.

Inside those immense azure eyes, fierceness and furious rage flickered.

"Damn Chen Yuan, to toy with me time and again!"

"He even concealed a Tao Seed."

"The vengeance for my severed hand..."

The Azure Dragon writhed internally with roaring rage.

Next, a huge and fierce dragon head, shaking off the river silt, prepared to reveal its True Body from beneath the waters.

But at this moment, its crimson vertical pupil suddenly narrowed into a line, and the dragon head retracted back into the silt; the next second, the azure ripples smoothed over the previously disturbed riverbed in an instant.

A few miles away, at the same old spot, a golden light re-formed.

Chen Yuan had actually returned!

After that, he used his Heart Eye again to scan the sky below the mountains and forests.

After a long while, still, nothing was found!

He couldn’t help but frown slightly; it appeared that this strike would ultimately not be Perfect.

After lingering at the site for a while, Chen Yuan’s figure finally vanished.

An hour later.

Several miles away, under the waters of the Nu River, the Azure Dragon finally showed its head again.

At this time, its pair of azure eyes was filled with shock, rage, and a trace of panic.

"Unfilial wretch!"

It was incredibly enraged, almost having been discovered by that person.

Who could have known that this youngster would be so cunning, leaving and then returning?

However, at this moment, the Azure Dragon quickly regained composure and finally realized the terrifying might of this person.

His power as well as his tactics!

Now, his Evil Dragon Body was crippled, and hundreds of his Human Demons were either killed or scattered; he could only hold back his rage and return to the Demon Cult.

Presumably, the other three would have already got a hint from the Life Lamps ceaselessly dying out at the Main Altar.

The Azure Dragon wanted to roar in unwilling rage, but quickly suppressed the thought; its massive dragon form shrank from the green light and became only several zhang in size. It followed the roaring currents of the Nu River downstream, sneaking away beneath the waters.

Not long after,

Daylight broke.

In a certain forest, a group of worn-out civilians looked up to see a dazzling golden light at the horizon and couldn’t help but feel tears well up in their eyes.

At this moment, a sound echoed through the forest.

"Three hundred li to the north, Qingshan County."

The voice then faded away.

The civilians of Yinshan County immediately recalled the glorious figure from the day before, their eyes shining with reverence, and they set off towards the north.

Meanwhile, a thousand li away, as daylight brightened.

Tens of li from the Prefecture, a barren wasteland was littered with corpses.

A black line, like a surging torrent, kicked up dust from the far horizon, thundering straight towards White Emperor City.

Under the shine of the golden sunlight, it appeared as if clad in Golden Armor after a hundred battles, creating a magnificent scene.

Elsewhere in the Prefecture, riders on horseback sped forth to meet the sun rising in the distance, heading north to Qingshan.
