91: Not a human being

Outside Qingshan County, over four hundred li to the Southwest.

The vast mountains presented a grim and tragic sight.

Within a ten-li radius, the mountain forest was a chaotic mess.

Rocks had collapsed, and the earth was rent with hideous cracks.

Flames blazed skyward, dyeing half the night sky crimson.

Scattered across the battlefield were the blood and flesh of giant beasts, horses, and human devils.

A broken Azure Dragon banner was crookedly stuck atop a carriage that had been split in half.

At this moment, a low mountain suddenly let out a rumbling sound, then was violently flung into the air.

Immediately after, a golden light shot up from the ground, leaping into the sky.

A pair of silver eyes suddenly shot out two brilliant divine lights, radiating brightly as they surveyed the surroundings.

Chen Yuan at this time had dishevelled hair, torn clothes, bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, and a bloodied right shoulder, his entire body exuding a fierce and savage aura.

In his hand, he was clutching a giant claw, as thick as a tree trunk and about three zhang long.

The sharp claws were like blades, shimmering with a chilling gleam, and above the claws were dense azure scales; at the broken end, the flesh was gruesome and still wriggling.

It seemed to have just been torn off.

It was indeed a monstrous, evil Dragon Claw!

The next second, Chen Yuan's body transformed into an afterimage, shooting towards the southeast.

After half an incense stick's time, a human devil several li away watched in horror as a golden light crashed down before him, and a golden beam suddenly arrived, shattering the galloping horse beneath him.

He screamed in terror, his body flung dozens of meters, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Immediately after, a large foot ground down hard on his face.

A pair of terrifying silver eyes stared fixedly at him, a grinding sound coming from his teeth, filled with chilling killing intent.

“Where is that evil Dragon?”

The human devil felt an intense pain, his cheekbone fractured, making his mouth fill with blood, and he let out a miserable shriek.

But at this moment, he completely disregarded the intense pain; the fierce man before him made his body tremble uncontrollably.

Just a moment ago, as he fled desperately for several li, he suddenly heard an earth-shattering Dragon roar and witnessed a horrifying scene!

This man, under the encirclement of ten high-ranking demon slaves and the Dragon body formed by the Venerable, had actually torn off one of the Venerable's Dragon Claws.

Afterward, Qinglong Venerable let out a wild roar, caused ten high-ranking demon slaves to self-destruct, and then escaped without a trace.

“Spare, spare my life, the Venerable… fled that way!”

The human devil's mind was seized by Chen Yuan, and he fearfully raised his hand, pointing in a direction.

As soon as he finished speaking,

“Bang”

Chen Yuan's foot stomped down fiercely, like crushing a watermelon, sending red and white matter flying.

Then, his figure flickered, and he shot off in a golden light towards the direction the other had pointed.

Thus, Chen Yuan chased madly for a hundred li.

In the end, he found nothing.

That evil Dragon still managed to escape!

Chen Yuan had fought the opponent for dozens of rounds, exchanging injuries for injuries, and only then gained an opportunity for close-quarters combat, tearing off one of the opponent's Dragon Claws.

Unexpectedly, the opponent used the self-destruction of the fearless human devils around him to escape.

After the battle just now, he roughly estimated his combat power; if he had a little more time, that evil Dragon would have died by his hand.

This was where he placed his greatest reliance!

Thinking this, he lowered his head and closed his eyes; within his Niwan, a sword hummed and trembled.

A great sword stood trembling atop a mountain peak.

During the great battle with the evil Dragon, he had condensed another Dao Seed, advancing his Sword Skill Divine Ability to Perfection, and then, like a flowing river, his Dantian Sword Pellet manifested a Sword Seed within his Niwan.

Immediately, he opened his eyes and frowned.

Originally, he wanted to pour all the hundreds of points gained from slaying these human devils tonight into the thirty-six Mountain Dao Seeds that had already condensed their true forms.

However, he encountered an unprecedented situation; he could no longer add points.

That is, the evolution from Dao Seed to Dao Soldier required more than just Luck points.

According to the Banshan Tiger Talisman's prompt, cultivating a Dao Soldier also required Geng Gold materials.

Therefore, during the great battle, Chen Yuan could only settle for the next best thing, bringing his Sword Skill Divine Ability to Perfection, achieving his second Dao Seed.

“Looks like I need to go back and study this!”

The silver light in Chen Yuan's eyes dissipated, and he looked at the dark night sky, letting out a roar that shook the mountain forest.

Then, he suddenly turned back and shot towards Qingshan County.

At this moment, several li away, beneath the muddy waters of the roaring Nu River, two large azure eyes, like lanterns, slowly opened.

Within those enormous azure eyes, ferocity and rage flickered.

“Damn Chen Yuan, he keeps playing me for a fool!”

“He even hid a Dao Seed.”

“The grudge for my severed hand...”

Qinglong roared and shrieked internally.

Then, a huge, hideous Dragon head, shaking off the mud, prepared to emerge from beneath the river.

Just then, his crimson vertical pupils suddenly narrowed into a line, and the Dragon head retracted back into the mud; the next second, the undulating azure water instantly smoothed over the disturbed mud.

He saw that several li away, in the original spot, a golden light re-condensed.

Chen Yuan had actually returned!

Then, he re-scanned the mountain forest beneath the high sky with his Minds Eye.

After a long while, he still found nothing!

He couldn't help but frown; it seemed this strike, after all, could not be brought to Perfection.

After lingering in the same spot for a while, Chen Yuan's figure finally disappeared.

An hour later.

Beneath the Nu River several li away, Qinglong finally re-emerged.

At this moment, his pair of azure eyes showed alarm and rage, as well as a hint of lingering fear.

“He's not a proper human!”

He was filled with alarm and rage, almost being discovered by that guy.

Who knew this child would be so cunning, returning after leaving.

However, Qinglong quickly calmed down at this time, and finally realized the terror of this person.

Both in strength and in methods!

Now, his evil Dragon body was crippled, and most of his hundreds of human devils had been lost, with the remaining scattered and fleeing; he could only suppress this belly full of rage and return to the Demonic Sect.

Presumably, the other three should have already caught a hint of wind from the constantly extinguishing life lamps in the main altar.

Qinglong wanted to let out an unwilling roar of rage, but quickly extinguished that thought; his enormous Dragon body's azure light pulsed, shrinking to only a few zhang in size, and he flowed downstream with the rushing Nu River, stealthily leaving beneath the water.

Not long after,

Day broke.

In a certain mountain forest, exhausted common folk looked up and saw that dazzling golden light on the horizon, tears welling up in their eyes.

At this moment, a sound echoed through the mountain forest.

“Three hundred li north, Qingshan County.”

Then, the sound faded into the distance.

The people of Yinshan County immediately recalled that brilliant figure from yesterday, and with a divine light in their eyes, they headed north.

At the same time, a thousand li away, as day broke.

Dozens of li outside Fu Gate, on a vast wilderness, corpses lay strewn across the field.

A black line, like a surging torrent, rolled up dust from the distant horizon, rumbling straight towards Baidi City.

Under the golden sunlight, it was like golden armor worn after a hundred battles in the yellow sands, a magnificent sight.

And in other parts of Fu Gate, people rode horses at full gallop, heading north towards Qingshan, facing the rising red sun in the distance.

(PS: Seeking Dao Soldiers, preparing to use sword as edge, mountain as form.)
