Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Are you the reinforcements called by Chen Yuan? Then kill them.

"The majority of the followers brought by that Evil Dragon have been slain by me, but that beast managed to escape. This claw is what I tore off from its body!"

In Qingshan County, within the small courtyard.

Chen Yuan sat in the pavilion, with Qin Hu and Lian Nichang sitting opposite him.

Having finished speaking, he tossed something outside the pavilion.

In an instant, there was a thunderous boom.

Following that, the object swelled in the wind.

It transformed into a thick dragon claw with densely arranged scales, emitting a horrifying aura that sent chills down one’s spine.

In the blink of an eye, it almost towered over the courtyard wall.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"Brother Chen, don’t let it get any bigger, hurry and put that thing away." Qin Hu hastily shouted to stop, the aura it emitted made him feel a sense of suffocation, uncomfortable, and he said with a wry smile, "This carries the pressure of the Fourth Heavenly Barrier, my poor old heart can’t handle it."

Lian Nichang next to him didn’t say anything, but her face was slightly stiff.

Chen Yuan slapped his forehead, a breeze rose from his body, isolating the Evil Dragon’s aura, then with a flick of his finger, the fierce Evil Dragon Claw stopped swelling and shrinking, and then, shimmering with mysterious Essence Qi, he asked:

"When I brought out this item, I actually wanted to ask—when a Human Demon reaches this realm, are they man or demon? Seeing how this claw remained unchanged after being torn from its body, could it suggest from another perspective that this person has truly become an Evil Dragon?"

Qin Hu and Lian Nichang, confused by Chen Yuan’s long speech, the straightforward Qin Hu slightly frowned and asked directly:

"Brother Chen, what exactly are you trying to ask?"

Chen Yuan glanced at the thick dragon claw,

"You and I know, before advancing to the Fourth Heavenly Barrier, demons are too tainted to be consumed. Upon entering the Fourth Heavenly Barrier, their impurities are shed, their flesh brimming with immense Essence Qi, comparable to Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Would it not be a pity to discard it?"

These words made Qin Hu involuntarily widen his tiger eyes, then looking at Chen Yuan’s serious expression, he cautiously ventured to ask:

"Brother Chen, are you... serious about this?"

"What you said is not wrong, but... cough cough, you’re not thinking of..."

"This is such a great treasure, Brother Qin, would you like a share?" Chen Yuan smiled.

Qin Hu quickly shook his head like a rattle-drum, his face full of refusal, the idea itself made him feel disgusted.

Chen Yuan turned his gaze towards Miss Ni Chang, who was clad in a red dress.

She raised an eyebrow, hesitated to speak, and finally said.

"Be cautious, elder brother, after all, it’s transformed from a human; I can’t get over this mental hurdle."

Seeing the reactions of the two, Chen Yuan couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter,

"There’s no need to be so serious, the two of you. We’ve all been on edge these days, it’s just a little relaxation."

"Now let’s talk the real business," he said, widening his eyes and his voice grew deeper.

"Now that the Demon Cult’s recent wave of attackers has been repelled by me, we must still guard against future threats."

"Miss Ni Chang, moving forward, you are responsible for coordinating the affairs of the entire county. Coming up, there will also be a group of refugees fleeing over from neighboring Yinshan County; how to settle these matters, maintaining order in the city, food supplies—it all requires your careful attention."

"Additionally, muster Martial Arts Practitioners who can be of use and drill them. When this battle will end is unknown; we must prepare early."

"Understood, Ni Chang!" Lian Nichang knitted her brows and set her face sternly.

At this moment, Chen Yuan’s gaze fell on Qin Hu again,

"Brother Chen, if you have any instructions, just tell me!" Qin Hu declared spiritedly.

Chen Yuan straightened up, "Please, Brother Qin, take the trouble to make a trip back to the Prefecture and convey the news here for the Prefecture to decide."

"Also, help me inquire if there are any Geng Metal items in the Prefecture’s arsenal."

"If there are, take this token with you. I remember, they can be exchanged with points."

Saying that, Chen Yuan flicked his hand, and a black token flew out.

Qin Hu caught it; this token he initially brought with him now returned to his hands.

However, his mindset was different from before; holding the token now, it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"I will not fail the trust placed in me!"

The other party clapped his fist as a promise and then quickly stood up.

"Time is of the essence; I, Qin Hu, shall set out immediately!"

"Ni Chang will do the same!"

Lian Ni Chang also stood up, clasping her fists in farewell.

Chen Yuan returned the courtesy and showed them out the door.

Watching the two leave, Chen Yuan’s gaze lengthened as they disappeared from view.

In times of chaos, having a few good friends keeps the loneliness at bay.

His gaze was then drawn back.

In the alley, a woman who had changed her appearance, leisurely walked while eating a candied haw on a stick.

A small fox on her left shoulder and a little squirrel on her right both held a skewer of hawthorns.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke indifferently,

"Miss Fang, we need to talk!"

.......

At this moment, a thousand miles away, above the turbulent waters of the Nu River.

Waves towered sky-high, dark clouds shrouded the sky, and amidst the howling thunder, a massive dragon body stirred the waters of the Nu River, causing chaos.

Suddenly, a wave, seven to eight zhang high, roared furiously, crashing down hard upon a bobbing ship amidst the stormy winds and rain.

Instantly, there was a deafening explosion.

Screams of terror pierced the air while streaks of light shot out from the titanic waves.

A shadow of people watched, their faces pale, looking towards the thunderclouds where, like a mountain range, a hundred-meter-long Evil Dragon loomed, their expressions turning to dread.

"Oh no, it’s the Green Dragon Venerable from the Demon Cult, how is it here?"

Someone cried out in horror, recognizing the true body of the Evil Dragon.

"Run!"

As these words were uttered, streaks of light didn’t hesitate to scatter and flee in all directions from the river’s surface.

But then, the Azure Dragon roared, diving down from the thundercloud with its massive, fierce body, sharp claws hooking like hooks, striking down the flickering lights.

Several piercing screams followed.

On two huge Evil Dragon Claws, two figures dangled like chicks, blood oozing from their pierced bodies before the claws spread out.

Two people burst into flesh instantly, blood scattering across the sky.

Next, the tail of the Azure Dragon struck towards two streams of light, whipping through the air, snapping viciously onto the river’s surface.

The surface exploded instantly, dividing into two giant waves, the surging waters smashing violently to each side.

More people were hit, their divine light extinguished, staining the rivers with blood.

The others watched in sheer terror.

"Green Dragon Venerable, we are disciples of Feilong Temple, Langya Mountain, and Four Seas Gang. If you indulge in such slaughter, aren’t you afraid..."

Someone couldn’t help but shout.

However, the Azure Dragon, with its fierce roar and golden-eyed gaze, shot sharply towards the speaker, and with a bellow, sent a bolt of thunder surging towards them.

"If you dare come to Qingshan, you’re an enemy of the Venerable. You must be the reinforcements that guy named Chen Yuan brought, huh? Just wait, I won’t leave a single one of you alive!"

"What does it matter even if your sects come? A bunch of turtles only good for hiding behind Prefecture walls and watching the show!"

The Green Dragon Venerable was furious, its presence more imposing than ever.

The dragon’s body, akin to a small mountain range, made its way towards the scattered people of White Emperor City.

"We’re not..."

Someone began to protest, uncertainty in their voice.

Who is Chen Yuan?

We’re certainly not...

But the next second, a bolt of lightning struck down.
