After eighteen thunderbolts struck down, the thunderclouds in the sky finally
dissipated. It seemed as if the heavens had given up and didn’t think it was
worth it to continue tormenting Luo Jianqing, so they let him go. Of course, if
the heavens really wanted to kill Luo Jianqing, there were still ways to do it,
such as by unleashing a dense and numerous array of thunder tribulation that
could destroy his body and soul.
“But at this moment, it doesn’t seem worth it for it to pay so
much,” said Luo Jianqing calmly as he saw the thundercloud dissipate. He
lowered his head and took out the pill from the soil. However, just as he had
just taken the pill, a powerful force of the pill struck his meridians with a
bang! This life-saving pill was actually attacking him!
“No!” Luo Jianqing immediately activated his inner spiritual power
to resist.
But this force of the pill was too immense and ruthlessly collided with Luo
Jianqing’s meridians, devouring his spiritual power. Seeing that his own
spiritual power was being swallowed by the force of the pill, Luo Jianqing’s
eyes narrowed and he instinctively activated the void power that belonged to
the “Nine Seizures Record” within his body.
As the void power collided with the force of the pill, the latter suddenly
shook and then escaped from Luo Jianqing’s body with great force. But how could
the void power allow it to leave? The power was like a long snake, directly
rushing out of Luo Jianqing’s body, wrapping and enveloping the small divine
pill.
The pill trembled slightly, as if struggling.
Luo Jianqing’s clothes were already soaked with sweat, his face pale. At
this moment, he let out a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly heard a clear and
elegant voice ringing on the hillside, “You are not the person I am
waiting for either, why be greedy?”
Luo Jianqing was already exhausted, but he still forced himself to remain
alert and replied coldly, “In this world, the treasures go to the capable.
Although I am not the person you are waiting for, I do not know who you are
waiting for. But senior, at this moment, you are already in my palm, and I just
want to swallow you with ease.”
The pill smiled and said, “Then why didn’t you just erase my
consciousness and swallow me earlier?”
Luo Jianqing was taken aback and said, “I will erase your consciousness
right now.”
The pill laughed lightly and said in a relaxed tone, “It’s too
late.”
Boom!
A fierce and powerful force attacked Luo Jianqing from behind. His body
trembled, and he instinctively took out a green bamboo umbrella from his
storage ring and quickly opened it. In an instant, the force collided with the
umbrella, and the surface of the umbrella shone with golden light. Six ribs of
the umbrella broke in succession before finally blocking the terrifying attack.
“Hand over my pill, and I will give you a complete corpse for this
despicable person!”
The injured Golden Yang Longevity Dragon hovered in the air, staring
at Luo Jianqing with a pair of bronze bell-like eyes. Even though it was still
bleeding, its pressure forced Luo Jianqing to tremble all over.
Luo Jianqing suddenly looked down at the pill in his hand and angrily said,
“It was you! You released your breath and let it find you!”
In the next moment, without thinking much, Luo Jianqing took out the Shuang Fu Sword.
“One sword turns into nine lotuses!”
Suddenly, the green lotus formation rotated continuously, accompanied by the
ancient and vicissitudes of void aura. The Shuang Fu Sword transformed into a
green lotus flower and rushed towards Golden Yang Longevity Dragon.
However, this Golden Yang Longevity Dragon just waved its paw lightly, and the
green lotus dissipated. Luo Jianqing also took two steps back and spit out
blood.
Luo Jianqing put the pill into his storage ring, took up the Shuang Fu
Sword, and glared at the other side.
“A mere Nascent Soul cultivator, it’s your honor to die under my
hand.”
“Die, monster!”
Luo Jianqing had used many magic treasures and even tried to use a sword
move that could only be used in the out-of-body period in the Nine Lotus Heart
Sutra, but all failed, and none could reverse the situation.
At this time, Golden Yang Longevity Dragon had also breathed a sigh
of relief. It had already shattered Luo Jianqing’s green bamboo umbrella. It
looked at the human cultivator who was also seriously injured and sneered,
“After I kill you, I’ll take the pill from your storage ring, and you can
go to hell with Qingjun!”
As soon as the words fell, Golden Yang Longevity Dragon swung its huge tail,
unleashing a powerful gust of wind. The sharp wind roared towards Luo Jianqing,
and Golden Yang Longevity Dragon laughed as it watched the scene. Then it saw
that the person it despised the most suddenly took out a golden bead.
At the moment when the golden bead appeared between heaven and earth, Golden
Yang Longevity Dragon’s laughter stopped. Its intuition as a demon beast made
it want to turn and run away, but Luo Jianqing had already thrown the golden
bead out.
It seemed like an ordinary bead, with no special qualities.
However, when Golden Yang Longevity Dragon felt the bead approaching, its
beast face was full of terror. It had already tried to escape as quickly as
possible, but still couldn’t resist the bead that quickly stuck to its abdomen,
and then…
Boom!
In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains trembled.
The dazzling golden light became the only thing in the world, and the golden
bead suddenly exploded. The surging and terrifying spiritual power formed a simple
golden lotus in the air, lightly piercing through Golden Yang Longevity Dragon’s
body, and then slowly dissipated in the air.
At this moment, time stood still, and the entire Wanshou Mountain Range
saw the golden light.
The elders of the major sects who were sent to supervise the Wanshou
Mountain Range all rushed out of seclusion, looking at the golden light in
shock.
All the seventh-order demon beasts in the Wanshou Mountain Range trembled
and ran away, not daring to look back.
In this golden light, there was a terrifying attack concealed within. Just a
strand of intent caused everyone to be completely stunned.
This was the attack of Xuan Lingzi, the only Nascent Soul stage venerable in
the world, using 70% of his power.
This was the realm of the venerables. This attack was enough to kill an
ordinary ninth-rank demon beast!
Time seemed both fleeting and endless. When the golden light gradually faded
away, Luo Jianqing had already been heavily injured to the point of trembling.
He flew away with difficulty, leaving the scene as fast as possible.
He didn’t want anyone to know he was here, and he was even more worried that
this attack wouldn’t be able to kill the Golden Yang Longevity Dragon!
In just a moment’s time, Luo Jianqing had fled a kilometer away. A moment
later, a painful roar suddenly sounded behind him, the furious voice of the Golden
Yang Longevity Dragon shaking the heavens: “Human! You made me use ‘Molt
Bone Tail’! You destroyed my chance to become a demon lord and caused me to
fall back to the eighth rank, unable to transform into a dragon for eternity!
Human! I will kill you, I will kill you!!!”
The Golden Yang Longevity Dragon had the innate skill “Molt
Bone Tail”.
Like the Golden Feather Fire Phoenix, the Ming Golden Yang Longevity Dragon
was rumored to be a branch of the dragon race with a relatively pure bloodline.
Dragons were born at the seventh rank, but the Golden Yang
Longevity Dragon was born at the sixth rank and had the opportunity to
transform into a dragon. However, once it used “Molt Bone Tail”, it
would abandon its bloodline as a dragon forever and could never transform into
a dragon!
The Golden Yang Longevity Dragon, now fallen back to the eighth rank,
was still equivalent to a human cultivator in the Out-of-Body stage. Even
though it was heavily injured, it could crush Luo Jianqing, who was also
heavily injured, with just one finger.
The furious Golden Yang Longevity Dragon didn’t care about the consequences
and didn’t think about “what kind of background the cultivator who could
use this treasure would have.” It only had one thought in mind: “I
will kill you! I will kill you!!!”
Golden Yang Longevity Dragon was much faster than Luo Jianqing, and in the
time it took to drink a cup of tea, it caught up to Luo Jianqing and attacked
him, sending him flying and crashing into a mountain wall, spitting out a
mouthful of blood.
At this moment, Luo Jianqing’s vision was blurred by the blood. He slowly
lifted his head and saw the giant beast walking towards him with an angry
expression, causing him to tense up all over. However, he no longer had a
second golden bead.
His breathing seemed to slow down, and the whistling wind in his ears
gradually stopped.
Looking at the bloody world before him, Luo Jianqing seemed to hear the
sound of his own heartbeat. Thump, thump, thump, thump. His heart was beating
so fast at this moment. He suddenly remembered that when he was seriously
injured and lying in a pool of blood in front of Xuan Lingzi, his heart also
beat like this.
At that time, he had hoped to die in front of Xuan Lingzi, wondering what
expression Xuan Lingzi would have. But now, all he felt was infinite
unwillingness and hatred. He didn’t want to die like this. He wanted to live
on, to force that person to stop hiding, to force that person to reveal their
true feelings towards him. He wanted to possess that person, or at least bring
back the pill to that person!
A weak power suddenly surged in his body, and the “Nine Seizures Heaven
Record” slowly activated.
Luo Jianqing struggled to lift his finger and condensed a small sword energy
at his fingertip. The void power coiled around the sword energy, and then he
struck out with the sword energy, flying towards the face of the Golden Yang
Longevity Dragon. However, the beast swatted it away with its tail.
Luo Jianqing coughed up a mouthful of blood, smiled bitterly, and quietly
waited for death to come.
He was not Li Xiuchen, so after he obtained the pill, he encountered
Heavenly Thunder and the Golden Yang Longevity Dragon.
Luo Jianqing closed his eyes, as if he could see that person again. From the
first encounter at Lu river to decades of companionship afterwards. At some
point, his admiration had gradually turned into a different kind of feeling. He
could no longer take his gaze away from that person, he longed for the warmth
of their embrace, he wanted that person’s eyes to only see him, he wanted to be
more than just a disciple!
However, now it was all just wishful thinking. At least before he died, he
had told that person about his feelings and he knew that person truly liked
him. That was enough, that… was enough…
“Human, I’ll kill you!”
Fierce spiritual energy attacked Luo Jianqing’s body. In that moment, Luo Jianqing
suddenly heard a clear sound of a bell ringing in his chest. Ding dong, ding
dong, that sound seemed to have been ringing for a long time, but Luo Jianqing
only heard it now at this critical moment.
In an instant, someone shouted, “Luo Jianqing! You cannot die in front
of me!”
Luo Jianqing suddenly opened his eyes and saw a blood-red figure flying
towards him from the horizon. His eyes narrowed, “Mo Qiu!”
