The Inverted Dragon’s Scale Chapter 290-306

Chapter 290: Black dragon roar to the moon!

The second eldest of the Changbai seven sons, Zhong Yu, was severed in half by the black dragon in one instant.

This scene to the people that witnessed with their own eyes, was sending chills up and down their spine and caused the legs of all the spectator to tremble in fear.

Zhong Yu's sword technique was already out of the ordinary, and among the seven people he was ranked in the top three.

But he was destroyed by the black dragon in one move and in less than one second. How powerful was the black dragon?

In the divine continent, every youngster has the dream of slaying a dragon. Everyone wanted to become a dragon slayer hero whose name would be pa.s.sed down throughout generations and their legend rewritten as poems.

However, the critical point was that you have to slay a dragon first, and not let a dragon slay you——

Zhong Yu have been slain by a dragon.

Therefore, he was doomed to turn to a wisp of dust, disappearing forever in this water illusion, without leaving behind any prestige and story in the human world.

However, there were still more youngsters embracing this dream.

Whether they liked it or not.

At least right now there were some people that were not too happy.

No one cares about a dead man. Zhong Yu had died, but the other six people of the Changbai seven sons also did not care. The black dragon that snapped him into two even more would not care.

He simply swayed and stretched his body slightly, when his tremendous body s.h.i.+fted over to above the formation that Changbai six sons have set up.

Because Zhong Yu was gone, the 'Big Dipper seven star formation' could not be completed, and they had made some little changes, altering it into the 'Big Dipper six star formation'.

The seven stars form the complete Big Dipper seven star formation, arranging in the order according to the positions of the Big Dipper, ever-changing and the most powerful.

Six stars could also arrange into formation, three stars could too. Six stars formation is known as the 'Six stars execute immortal formation' and three stars formation as the 'three talents unite deity formation'.

Just that compared with the power of the Seven Stars formation, it was much weaker, and during the co-ordination would give rise to more flaws.

Bu there was nothing they could do. They could not gather the seven stars now.

However, the Changbai six sons were extremely cunning. They knew that the black dragon was powerful and that they would not be able to overcome it.

So they placed Qiandu in the middle of the large formation as hostage, if the black dragon gushes out dragon breath to destroy their large battle formation, it would cautiously do so in order to avoid Qiandu. If he did not make a big move, with his huge body afraid he would only be exposed to attacks.

The black dragon hovered in the air and the hot gas he spewed out was setting the large expanse of air on fire.

His head had been moving across for quite a while, but its tail was still in the distant darkness.

The sky was vast but its body looked as though was filling the sky overhead.

Changbai six sons, facing this kind of scene, the pressure they felt inside was really too enormous.

"Brother, can we really slay the dragon?" The first person to question was Zhong Bai. He was usually the laziest one when practicing sword techniques, and the weakest of them. When the seven brothers were together, he would be the first to cause trouble, but when alone he would restrain himself and would be more polite than anyone else.

"Of course we can." Zhong Feng gritted his teeth and answered. As the leader of this group, he must give his brother confidence.

Just that, after saying this sentence, as he cast a look over at little brother Zhong Shan his eyes revealed his current thoughts.

He also had no confidence.

For tens of thousands of years, the stories of dragon slayer heroes had been widely praised.

Dragons are evil, they are ugly, and they eat people's liver and destroy their homes.

However, these stories also told everyone that dragons are powerful and difficult to defeat.

Of course, most people only see the glory after slaying a dragon, but do not realise the devastation of failing to slay a dragon.

Young people wanted to slay dragons because they do not know what dragons are.

When a dragon was really hovering in the sky, appearing in front of everyone with the stance of a sky dragon, then they would become panicked. The swords in their hands would become clumsy, and their cultivation practice become of little use.

When such a gargantuan figure appeared in front of you, just what methods could you use to deal with it?

"Certainly can." Zhong Shan knew that his brothers were shaking inside, and he must give them confidence and encouragement. If they relaxed for a moment or were reluctant to advance, there was no way he could kill this big guy alone. "Those heroes in the ancient times were also ordinary people, right? They were able to accomplish the impressive feat of slaying a dragon, why can't we? Our more than 10-years of sword practice, is it not for today?"

In order to alleviate everyone's tense and nervous mood, Zhong Shan squeezed out a smile: "If we miss the chance today, when we want to slay a dragon there might not be any dragons——we cannot miss this opportunity."

Zhong Shan's relaxed and cheerful att.i.tude infected everyone, the body hair that were standing on its end dropped, and their stiff tight muscles eased a lot.

The huge head of the black dragon stretched forward, stretching until he was at a place not far away from the Changbai six disgraces.]

His eyes were as huge as copper bell, and the blood mist inside its pupils seemed as though if people were carelessly caught in, would be unable to extricate themselves.

No one dared to look him eye to eye, it was always only him fiercely staring at the dragon slayers.

The black dragon was looking at Qiandu who was in the middle of the 'six stars execute immortal formation', when that ancient and arrogant voice again sounded again: "Let Qiandu go, I can leave you a full corpse with no parts missing."

In his view, this was a great compromise.

After all, they had made such a big mistake that they should have died without even a complete corpse.

Just now that Zhong Yu had no such good luck, his body snapped into two parts, and he had to helplessly watch his lower half of body spraying out blood——

The black dragon's words evidently angered Changbai six disgraces, what do you mean 'leave your dead body with no parts missing'?

What is the difference between a complete body and a half body? Either way, you were still dead.

The end result of both were death?

"Big brother, let's fight him, its just a dragon——"

"Right. If we don't fight we'll be dead. If we fight we might have the opportunity to live, let him taste our 'executing immortal formation'——"

"Dragon Slayer, Zhong Ming is also one——"

"A bunch of idiots." The black dragon breathed out a puff of smoke, his voice icily arrogant.

He did not breathe out a blast of dragon breath at the 'six stars execute immortal formation' formed by the Changbai seven disgraces, and did not crushed them with his enormous body.

Its body suddenly speeded up and swooped down, circling around the 'six stars execute immortal formation'.

Accelerating!

Accelerating!

Constantly accelerating!

Faster and faster, until only a dark shadow was seen flying around them. Then the shadow was gone, and a black wall had tightly wrapped around them.

"Protect the formation." Zhong Feng yelled. "Stars change position."

He understood the evil intentions of the black dragon.

The positions that the six of them a.s.sembled at were like a chessboard or a huge tree, and the dragon was a man-made——no, dragon-made tornado.

The power of a tornado was extremely strong, and when the wind force reaches a certain level, the eye of a tornado was the most dangerous. They are able to uproot thousand-year-old trees, flatten hills, and engulf rivers until nothing remains and then dropping a torrential rain on another city.

If they allowed the dragon to continue to circle around them, they would soon be swept up into mid-air by the tornado. At that time the black dragon would not need to break the formation, because there was no way they could maintain a complete 'Six stars execute immortal formation'.

If the formation was not present, the power was not obvious. The black dragon could use his superior speed and physical strength to kill them all in the air.

Hearing eldest brother Zhong Feng issued an order, Changbai six disgraces, with Zhong Shan as the core, rapidly began to move about. Their six swords were connected together, and the green arc above their sword was like a suction, pus.h.i.+ng their bodies to turn in circles.

The black dragon was circling from left to right, while Changbai six disgrace's execute immortal formation was turning right to left.

They artificially created a strong wind to contend against and offset the tornado formed by the black dragon.

One negative and one positive, the stream of air came into a fierce collision, producing an incessant sound of explosions in the middle. Sparks flying about in all direction, and airflows that did not listen to order were crackling and booming.

The air within dozens of mile of radius was emptied, and the water source was pushed out to a more distant place.

The towering and seemingly endless trees were withering, the flowers that were just contending in fragrance and beauty were dying. The animals that were too late to escape were taking their last gasp, and forest birds that were taking flight in alarm very quickly dropped back down, becoming a lifeless dead body.

Martial artist searched for the way, and the way they searched for was naturally the way of Nature.

Determination can conquer nature, was just a saying. The power of nature is endless, and no one can contend with it.

However, at this moment, the remarkable abilities that the black dragon and Changbai six disgraces displayed were able to destroy nature; the water illusion suffered a catastrophe.

Hu Hu Hu——

The black dragon's body had completely disappeared and all was visible was a cloud of black fog. The fog was wide and thick, and the scales and horn of the black dragon were not seen.

And the figures of the Changbai seven sons also disappeared, because they were clothed in starry cloud robes. What remained was only a white light.

Black mist enveloped the white light, and then constantly swallowed it.

The white brilliance grew smaller and smaller and the radiance grew fainter and fainter.

Until disappearing forever.

Changbai Six disgraces were not weak, but compared to the black dragon that can produce a real tornado, they were barely adequate.

Boom——

As the black mist completely swallowed the white light, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.

The black mist was still spinning furiously, and the black tornado brought the ball of white light that it had tightly wrapped around into the sky.

The more it flew the faster it was, and the higher it was.

Heading for the Red Moon.

Black dragon stretched out his huge head from the black mist, his blood red eyes looked to the red moon, and countless rays of red moonlight rays sprinkled onto him, landing on his body and falling in his pupils.

His red eye grew redder.

"Roar——"  

Dragon roared to the Ninth Heaven!

Chapter 291: Ugly cute!

The black dragon was flying to the moon, but the Red Moon was unreachable, mortals would never reach the palace in the moon.

The black mist reached a certain alt.i.tude, when the black dragon began to pull away.

First his huge skull was drawn out of the black mist, then it was his large, long, seemingly endless body.

One after another was swept up by the hurricane, even the brilliance of the Red Moon was blown to pieces.

As the black dragon's tail emerged from the black fog, the black scales were emitting a dark red l.u.s.ter. The tail, like a palm leaf fan, extended out, sharp and elegant, waving to the moon.

Like a pig brought into the sky by a paper kite, no, a group of pigs, when the line of the kite was snapped, the paper kite drifted away. And what was waiting for these pigs was the fate of the rapid free fall.

Changbai six disgraces were swept into the mid-air by the black dragon, and their body had long lost self-control. When the black dragon pulled away, their bodies were so helplessly floating in the sky, extremely close to the red moon, that if they stretched out a hand, they might able to tear off a corner of the moon.

Of course, Changbai six disgraces were not romantic people. At this time and environment they had no mood to pick off a piece of the moon.

They tried hard to keep their bodies in balance so that they would not fall too quickly into the ground and become meat patty——and possibly meat slime.

"Everybody, steady your body." Zhong Feng, while dropping to the ground, reminded his little buddies loudly. "Don't give the black dragon an opportunity to take advantage of this."

Inwardly he was suffering so much that he felt like dying. The person that they wanted to get rid of was just clearly a hairy boy of Starry Sky Academy with no background, how was it that, in the blink of an eye, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d became an evil black dragon?

"Are there any justice in this world?"

The other people threw their sword out and stepped onto it, turning the sword into a flying weapon and descending to the ground with various coloured lights trailing behind.

"Spread out, don't run in the same direction."

"Yes, don't let the black dragon kill us all in one clean sweep——"

"Anyone that escapes go back to report to the sect. They must kill this dragon——"——

Qiandu's fate and their fate was completely different, as her body separated from the black mist, like a duckweed floating down into the sea, her body suddenly touched something hard.

Cold and smooth, but it made her felt extremely comfortable.

After all, her body was like a burning stove, and the cooler things were, the more attractive they were to her.

She opened her eyes, to find that she was on the huge head of the black dragon.

The solid object that she touched was the long horn of the black dragon, and the smooth surface she felt was the scales of the black dragon.

She felt as though she was lying on a huge black crystal bed. Of course, this crystal bed was too gorgeous and valuable.

"Are you all right?" The ancient and unfamiliar voice sounded, voluntarily talking to Qiandu.

Qiandu with great effort climbed up to the head, asking: "You are Li Muyang? Are you Li Muyang?"

She knew that he was Li Muyang, but the voice was not like that of Li Muyang at all. It was a completely unfamiliar voice, a very old voice——Li Muyang said that there was a dragon in his body, but Qiandu felt that it was more like inside the dragon's body there was Li Muyang.

Although the black dragon was strong enough to protect her, she still hoped that it was Li Muyang——was Li Muyang who had turned into a dragon, all of this was led by Li Muyang.

"Yes." The black dragon said aloud.

It was still the old, unfamiliar voice, but the more Qiandu heard this voice the closer and more familiar it felt. It was Li Muyang, and it was her best friend.

"Muyang, you——" Qiandu wanted to ask Li Muyang that how did he become this, but such words would not come out.

If Li Muyang had a choice, he would also not want to become like this.

If it was possible, Li Muyang would also not want to be like this.

Transforming into a huge dragon in front of these people and battle against human, if this was to spread to the human world, not only would Li Muyang not survive, even Li Muyang's family would most likely be killed——Your son is a dragon, how can you ensure that you're not a dragon? What do you use to prove that you're not a dragon? Show me the evidence.

"You're poisoned." The black dragon continued.

Qiandu nodded, then she remembered that she was standing on the head of the black dragon, and the black dragon could not see her nodding.

Her body was weak, but she was still trying to raise the volume of her voice to let the black dragon hear her: "Yes, I do not know what they poisoned me with, my body feels hot and dry, like being burned."

"You don’t have to use too much strength." The black dragon reminded. "My ears are right next to you."

"——" This time, Qiandu was one hundred percent certain that the black dragon was Li Muyang. The real Li Muyang.

"They must die." The black dragon stated.

Qiandu understood Li Muyang's meaning. "But there are six of them, and now they're escaping in several different directions."

"Hold on tight." Li Muyang said aloud.

"Don't worry about me." Qiandu held tight onto the long horn on the head of Li Muyang, her robe fluttering in the wind, her black hair dancing, like a beautiful maiden was driving a dragon carriage.

Qiandu's face was abnormally bright red, and her vision somewhat blurred.

She could hear the whistling wind but not feel the cold, feel herself hovering at height but did not feel sudden jolts and jerks.

Once the black dragon comforted Qiandu, his eyes again became crimson red like blood again.

He looked down at the Changbai six disgraces escaping in different direction, and dived down fast, rumbling down to the front where Zhong Feng was.

Zhong Feng was the first to flee, the moment they were swept into the high alt.i.tude by the black dragon, he had been thinking of a way of escaping.

He was the leader of the six people, if he had not run away, the other brothers also would not think of escaping.

He activated the Changbai sword sect 'flying sword technique' to its peak state. The sword beneath was fully emitting a purple-red flame, as though the sword would burst into flames.

What was that phrase?

You don't have to run faster that your enemies, you just have to run past your companions.

As long as he was in front of his brothers, when the black dragon chases the other people it would delay time, that was the key moment for him to escape.

While flying, he could feel that there was something wrong.

He threw his head back and saw the big black dragon opening his b.l.o.o.d.y mouth.

Smiling!

The black dragon was smiling at him!

An ugly cute smile!

Chapter 292: Do not allow insult!

Silhouetted against the round blood-red moon, the black dragon opened his mouth and smiled. The smile was sinister, strange and incomparably ugly.

In Zhong Feng's eyes, the black dragon's smile was obviously extremely ugly. Just that this ugly and absurdly comical smile, if he had not followed him, if he had chased after the others, it would have made Zhong Feng laugh out loud at this scene.

When it comes to dragons, people had always a.s.sociated them with words such as majestic, overbearing, evil, bloodthirsty and so on.

But most people had never seen a real dragon.

Now that Zhong Feng had seen one, he thought that this dragon although was indeed very majestic, overbearing, evil and bloodthirsty, it had a down-to-earth side——it could smile.

The distance between the two races was suddenly narrowed.

Of course, their distance in s.p.a.ce was also infinitely closer.

Even though he was desperately operating the sword beneath, but the black dragon was still leisurely travelling right behind, as though would catch up to him very soon.

Zhong Feng was tensed up, he knew that it was difficult for him to escape now.

At this moment he had no time curse this hateful black dragon for chasing after him instead of his other brothers. He swung his hand up, and the sword beneath him came flying into his hand.

Flames were still blazing, and the sword hilt was burning from a continuous instilling of inner energy.

As soon as the sword came into Zhong Feng's hand, he once again began to gather more ferocious inner energy.

Hu——

The violet glow of flames was burning fiercely, and the flames suddenly spread out to a few feet away.

Zhong Feng raised his long sword into the air and forcefully swung down at the cute ugly head of the black dragon.

Hu——

The sword qi was whistling, the fire was fiercely blazing.

The third sword of the Changbai thirteen sword techniques.

Wildfire Sword!

The 'smile' on the black dragon's face faded, in fact he did not want to smile, he just threw a ridiculing look at Zhong Feng.

As for ugly cute, he was more reluctant to accept it——no one in the dragon clan could accept such adjectives. Not to mention that he was the king of tens of thousands of dragon, the supreme dragon king of the dragon clan. If words get out, he was going to lose face.

There was a loud booming coming from his throat, when he opened his mouth wide at Zhong Feng.

Hu——

Fire burst forth from the black dragon's mouth, instantly engulfing the sword that Zhong Feng swung forward.

The rage of the dragon king, can melt cities.

Before Zhong Feng could utter a miserable cry, the breath of the dragon king had turned him to a puff of soot.

Killing a tiny insignificant human being was no different than swatting a dragon louse. The Black dragon did not feel proud,  did not even glance at him, and went chasing after the other people.

"Big brother is dead——" Zhong Bai cried in panic. "Big brother was killed by the black dragon——"

"Be careful of the dragon, be careful of the dragon breath, do not attack him head-on——" Zhong Ming used the sound pa.s.sing technique; his voice shook the valley.

"Do not run, we have to fight it together, or we will soon all die——" Zhong Shan shouted in a hoa.r.s.e voice.

He wanted to slaughter the dragon, wanted to become a Dragon Slayer, wanted to save the situation that they were in. But like beaten troops, his brothers had no confidence. They had witnessed Zhong Yu and their eldest brother Zhong Feng being killed by the black dragon in seconds, would they still think of fighting against the black dragon with him?

They panicked, like a group of rabbits scurrying in all directions.

Zhong Shan was filled with grief and indignation, the arrogant Changbai seven sons, who were the martial arts stars that everyone looked up to wherever they went, would be so weak facing a really formidable enemy. It really was embarra.s.sing.

The black dragon was carrying Qiandu on his back as he headed straight for Zhong Chang, and before Zhong Chang had time to react, a jet of flames came pouring out his mouth.。

Boom——

Zhong Chang disappeared.

The black dragon then dived over to where Zhong Bai was standing whimpering, "Don't kill me, don't kill me——please, don't kill me. I don't want to die. I don't want to die——as long as you don't kill me, I'll do whatever you want."

Hu——

Another blast of flame was spewed out and Zhong Bai was incinerated so much that not even his bones remained.

Zhong Ming was the most scared, because he was the one that poisoned Qiandu, and also tried to drag Qiandu to one side and interrogate her himself.

Fortunately for him, the black dragon did not come for him first.

As he was shouting a few words to his brother telling them to desperately resist, he was already steering his flying sword into the distant forest.

As long as he reached into the forest, dived down, and hid in the huge bushes, he would be safer.

At that time, the black dragon's enormous body would have had no advantage at all in the forest.

It was his only chance to survive.

His thinking was clear and the method was correct.

He had left the zone of the Mountain of flames, and beneath was the thousand-year-old dense forest.

He smiled a relief smile and steered the flying sword into the forest.

Bang——

He b.u.mped into something.

His body was knocked back several feet and tumbled through the air, looking badly battered, his head broken, and his forehead oozing out blood.

By the time he was finally able to come to a stop with the aid of his flying sword, he found that it was the black dragon that struck into him.

He did not know when had the black dragon went ahead of him, and gave him a head-on impact when he was about to dive.

——Putong

Zhong Ming knelt on his flying wide sword.

He desperately kowtowed to the black dragon, knocking his head over and over again against the blade of the flying sword.

"I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please let me go, I'm willing to work for you like an ox, be your servant——I will never tell others what happened today, if I do not keep to my words, the heavens will strike me with thunder and make me die an unnatural death."

Seeing a lack of response from the black dragon, instead indifferently staring at himself, Zhong Ming again knocked his head harder and begged for mercy: 'Qiandu, spare me. Let me go this time, I will never dare again, I will give you all my own secret techniques and treasures, I have thousand year old ginseng fruits, heart pills——they can help enhance your cultivation level."

Qiandu responded with a devastatingly cold glare, "Li Muyang had warned you already, never go too far, in case you want to keep the relation in the future. Now that it had pa.s.sed the point of no return, you can't blame others for being ruthless."

Seeing that Qiandu was unwilling to let him off, the expression on Zhong Ming's face grew fierce. "b.i.t.c.h, you dare kill me, you would also die——You've been poisoned by my 'guardian deity cannot overcome', not even Arhats and deities can save you. Unless you find a man, if you kill us all, where are you going to find for a man? Do you want to be with that monster?"

"Did he poison you?" The black dragon asked aloud.

"Yes. It's him." Qiandu replied.

Boom——

Another sheet of flame gushed from his mouth.

Zhong Ming disappeared.

His flying sword vanished at the same time.

And everything to do with him.

"He deserved to die." The black dragon stated.

At this moment, besides Zhong Yu who the black dragon had split into two, Zhong Feng, Zhong Chang, and Zhong Ming of the Changbai seven sons were all killed within seconds from Li Muyang's dragon breath.

Only Zhong Lei, Zhong Bai, and Zhong Shan were still escaping.

To be exact, only Zhong Lei and Zhong Bai were. Zhong Shan had all along been following the black dragon, waiting for an opportunity to attack the black dragon.

He had intended to bring his brothers together to create an attack plan to slaughter the black dragon.

But all his brothers had disappointed him.

Instead of running to the more distant forest, Zhong Lei fled for the valley of the mountain of flames.

He wanted to enter the cave because the black dragon cannot enter the cave, and there was no way he could flatten the entire mountain, right?

Swoosh—

He darted straight to an opening of the Mountain of flames.

He had hardly the time to take a closer look, planted himself within the mouth of the cave.

It was only after he had entered the mountainside, that he was truly certain that he was still alive.

He was free.

He was alive.

The black dragon glided to the mouth of the volcano, his copper-bell-like eyes peered into the hole. His body was too big, and really could not get into the mouth of the cave.

Hu——

A jet of flame spurted out from the mouth of the cave.

Rumble———

Raging flames roared through the air towards Zhong Lei, and in front was fiery lava splattering all around.

Zhong Lei's eyes were wide with fear, feeling his body getting hotter and hotter.

Bang——

The dragon breath and the fountains of fiery lava that was sent leaping into the air from the terrifying pressure of the dragon breath collided in mid-air, fusing together.

Zhong Lei vanished.

——Putong——

Zhong Bai immediately dropped to his knees at the top of Mountain of flames, crying: "Let me go, please let me go. I am willing to destroy my martial skills myself and blind myself——spare my worthless life."

Zhong Shan darted over to Zhong Bai's side, kicked him in the back, and yelled: "Get up, get up now, our Changbai sword sect does not have such a coward——Get up, if we do our best, we might have a chance of winning——"

Zhong Shan, kicked down by Zhong Bai, was refusing to get up, discarded his sword to one side and began howling loudly and miserably.

Zhong Shan's eyes were blood red, pointing the sword in his hand at the black dragon above, and shouting: "Li Muyang, come out, I want to fight with you one-on-one——come out and fight me alone. What hero would hide in a dragon's sh.e.l.l?"

"I respect the brave." The black dragon unblinkingly stared at Zhong Shan, that ancient voice resounding across the air again. "But the intelligence of the Dragon King is not to be insulted."

Roar——

Zhong Shan also disappeared.

Chapter 293: Let you speak first!

Was this a joke?

Not be the Dragon King, not spew out dragon breath, and come out to fight you with the possibility of being slashed to death———Do you think there's something wrong with my dragon brain?

I'm a intelligent life form, right? I can kill you with a blast of dragon breath.

The black dragon was fuming with this idiot.

Although he felt that Zhong Shan was the only one with a b.l.o.o.d.y backbone among the Changbai's seven disgraces, but———his intelligence was too low.

Now, the other six have been finished, and only a Zhong Bai was still lying down on the ground refusing to get up, sobbing hysterically, his voice hoa.r.s.e and looking miserable and extremely pathetic with tears running down his face.

It made him have a strong impulse to gush out a dragon breath at Zhong Bai.

When he thought about it, Li Muyang really did it.

From his throat came the sound of rapid breathing as he spewed his breath at Zhong Bai.

Zhong Bai disappeared.

There was a big hole at where he was lying down just now.

The flames scorched the rocks, and the air was filled with the fragrance of barbecue.

It was so satisfying in every respect, that he wanted to do it all over again.

Li Muyang had his mouth wide opened wanting to spew out dragon breath, but there was no target left.

So disappointing.

So, Li Muyang breathed at the huge pit.

The huge pit grew bigger and deeper still.

At this moment, the black dragon's huge body was slowly descending to the mountain peak.

When he landed on the ground, he had already reverted to human form.

Qiandu was lying on the ground, and so was Li Muyang.

Li Muyang got up from the ground, sprinted over to Qiandu, held her hand, and anxiously asked, "Qiandu, how are you?"

"I'm all right." Qiandu responded with a light smile. The temperature of her body was rising, and her clothes were beginning to emit white smoke. Her mouth was covered with blood, because of her dried and cracked skin. The blood was almost instantly drying up as it flowed out, forming scabs on her lips.

Li Muyang touched Qiandu's forehead, exclaiming: "Very hot. You're burning."

Qiandu wanted to smile but could only give a slight lift in her face, looking dimly at Li Muyang. "I did not die in their hands, that's too good."

"Idiot." Li Muyang supported Qiandu up, holding her close against him. "Don't talk about dying? We all have to live."

Qiandu reached out her hand, gently stroking Li Muyang's handsome face and saying softly, "You're more pleasing to the eye like this."

"You must stop talking." Li Muyang's eyes darted around the surroundings. "I'll figure a way for you."

The temperature up on the Mountain of flames was already high but the temperature of Qiandu was higher than that of the Mountain of flames.

The illusion of water was full of water, but when Li Muyang wanted to cup a handful of water for Qiandu, he couldn't touch it at all.

Li Muyang spread his palm out, a ball of blue light ball emerging on his palm.

The visible sources of water came gathering towards the ball of light, solidifying into a crystal clear chunk of ice.

Li Muyang placed the solidified water into Qiandu 's mouth. "Take a bite, quickly take a bite to cool down."

Qiandu gently licked the chunk of ice, and although there was a moment of coolness, it did not solve any of her problems.

The muscles of her legs were tightening into a painful contracted state and then relaxing, her body incessantly s.h.i.+vering. The effect of the drug was getting stronger, and with her concentration power and ability of resistance, she would soon unable to hold on.

"It's no use." Qiandu said shaking her head. "It's no use.""

Li Muyang flushed, glanced at Qiandu and mumbled: "It's not that I don't want to sacrifice my body———it's not so good, it's like I'm taking advantage of you."

"What did you say?" Qiandu asked, her voice weak.

"I heard what Zhong Ming said." Li Muyang explained. "He said that you had been poisoned with 'guardian deity cannot overcome', and must need a man to———"

Li Muyang hastily looked away avoiding looking at Qiandu in the eye and mumbled, "In order to save you, I am willing to do anything."

Qiandu felt that it would have been better if she had died.

Whywas she still alive?

"If you don't want to, I'll think of another way." Li Muyang hurriedly said. He racked his brains, trying to find a way in his sea of memory to treat this 'guardian deity cannot overcome' aphrodisiac drug.

He found many other methods of aphrodisiac detoxification such as 'I love wood', 'The Queen also wants', and 'The fierce woman turns back again', such wild and extremely vulgar drug names and detoxification methods. But he could not find the aphrodisiac drug 'guardian deity cannot overcome', let alone a method of treatment.

Obviously, this was an aphrodisiac that had emerged in the recent thousands of years, and even the old dragon himself had not dabbled in such a thing.

From studying countless generations of men, the standard in the production of aphrodisiac was constantly improving, and the standard in naming had also risen substantially.

However, there was a piece of information that made Li Muyang's eyes lit up. He felt that it was of valuable reference.

In the book 'Introduction to Aphrodisiac', it mentioned that aphrodisiac is a combination of hot and intense objects to drive the human body to have a sudden impulse and make people lose themselves. All things and living things in this world mutually reinforce and neutralize each other. For any type of aphrodisiac, as long as the neutralising drug is found then everything would be solved.

Of course, if there was no other option, one way would be to cure poison with poison. Use the strongest poison to treat the toxin so that the weaker poison would be swallowed up and dissolved by the one of more intense toxicity.

Of course, a new problem arises again: you have to find a way to treat the more intense poison.

Some people that had been poisoned with a highly toxic drug will choose this solution, using a more fierce poison to restrain the effect of the previous toxic drug. But as more poisons are being consumed, there would be a higher acc.u.mulation of toxins in the body. When those toxins erupt, the majority of the sufferers would die.

Such action was only for the sake of continuing life, it was impossible to completely cure it. Ordinary people would not take this option.

Of course, Li Muyang had no better option. Qiandu was currently so unwell, that she would very soon die without treatment. He was finally able to save Qiandu after all the difficulty, how could he helplessly watch her die in his arms?

So, Li Muyang turned to look at Qiandu, saying, "I have a solution———"

"I am willing." Qiandu, as though had made up her mind about something, swung her head around to look at Li Muyang.

Her face was like the peach blossom, and there was a cloud of mist over her eyes, beautiful and alluring, that make poisoning symptoms appear from a person.

Qiandu froze.

Li Muyang also froze.

It was only after a long moment that Li Muyang finally eased the thudding of his heart and said softly and calmly: "You speak first."

Chapter 294: Bursting and burning!

There was a saying in the divine continent: mistakes are easily made when talking more.

What this saying meant was that: when you talk too much, you will probably lose the woman you love.

Li Muyang really understood the meaning of this sentence now.

On that night it was possible that he would have to face a temptation that was difficult to resist and refuse.

When Qiandu said to him 'I'm willing', he only needed to nod with a flushed face and reply 'I am willing to dedicate my body to you'. As a result, a single spark would had created flames of pa.s.sion that are hotter than the temperature of the Mountain of flames.

Li Muyang was not a man that did not know how to adapt.

When his companion whom he entered the illusion with was at a life threatening moment, let alone giving his own body once, even for one year, he would never shy away.

"A good man doesn't let a woman he loves suffer the slightest bit."

Would never drift about like a gust of wind.

A good man would not let the woman he loves feel more and more anxious.

Lonely and can't see the direction of happiness——

A good man would not let his beloved woman suffer the slightest——

What's the harm in suffering a little hards.h.i.+p for someone you love.

Zhang Gaozhe was a famous wandering singer in West Wind Kingdom. His singing voice had given direction for quiet, helpless men that were at a loss.

Li Muyang was willing to give.

Of course, the seven Changbai seven disgraces also wanted to give, and were killed by him.

There was a trace of anxiety in his heart, an unusually gentle calmness on his face, and a look that said I respect your decision, when he said, "You speak first."

Qiandu was extremely shy, as though something was flooding her body and there were powerful waves rippling through her body, making her lose the ability to think.

She bit her tongue, blood came seeping out from her mouth again as she said in a weak voice, "Did you say——you have a solution?"

You see, this is the perfect example of 'mistakes are easily made when talking more'.

Li Muyang nodded. "Guardian deity cannot overcome' is a very unique and strong poison, I cannot find a method of detoxification in such a short time. And even if I had one, I mostly likely would not find the neutralising medicinal ingredients required in this wilderness."

"Then——" Qiandu's eyes were darting around, her cheeks were like peach blossoms in full bloom. She really couldn't take it anymore. She felt that her body was getting hotter, and that Li Muyang's body had a strong attractive force. If she had not been receiving the best royal education, if she had not had the perseverance and pride that are superior to common people, she most likely would had subdued to the aphrodisiac. "What is the method?"

"Fight poison with poison" Li Muyang stated.

"Good." Qiandu immediately answered. At this time she couldn't care less what the method was, as long as it could help rid the toxins in her body, she was willing to try any method.

"There might be some residual effects, I need your cooperation——" Li Muyang looked at Qiandu's confused eyes, then gently sighed. There was no use in discussing anything with her now, he needed to make decisions by himself, since everything he did was the best for her, and he would never harm her.

Li Muyang would rather harm himself.

He slashed across his arm with a dagger, and blood came flowing out.

Li Muyang moved his wounded arm to right in front of Qiandu's mouth, saying: "Drink it. Drink more."

Qiandu was struggling to keep her eyes open, but no matter she was unable to.

She was still desperately refusing: "Why——"

"The dragon possess the attribute of fire and is a hugely poisonous thing to the average person. Drinking the blood of a dragon will cause one's blood to boil, and may directly burn the organs and blood vessels of the body——The aphrodisiac drug you were poisoned with is also has heat attributes, using the blood of a dragon to counteract the poison should have miraculous effects."

Li Muyang explained. "Quickly drink it. I'll be fine. I don't want anything to happen to you."

Qiandu no longer hesitated, opened her mouth and drew in the blood that was seeping out from Li Muyang's arm.

The dragon's blood was burning as it entered down her throat, like scalding water or the lava of the Mountain of flames.

Her body was trembling from the heat, and her throat felt would soon be destroyed by the blood and qi.

As it entered her body, undergo conflict, and desperately swallow and combine with the qi and blood inside, Qiandu's body was burning more fiercely, thick smoke emitting from her, like skewer of roasted meat in a small alley of Jiangnan city.

"Li Muyang——" Qiandu was writhing about in pain, constantly shouting Li Muyang's name: "Li Muyang——Li Muyang——"

Li Muyang's other hand was grasping her right hand to give her confidence and strength.

He knew that at this moment he was the only one that she could depend on.

"It'll be fine. It's going to be okay." Li Muyang held her tightly, whispering gently in her ears——

The blood-red moon had grew lighter, turning from the previous crimson red into the present weak red. The moonlight was no longer as dazzling as before,  but instead was gently illuminating the earth.

The red moon was getting further and further away, and looked as though the last of the moon would soon disappear before their eyes. Darkness was imminent, and as soon as the red moon disappears, dawn would break across the horizon.

It would be the beginning of a new day.

"The sky is getting brighter." Qiandu said softly, slowly opening up her eyes, looking at the red moon that was getting further and further away.

"You're awake?" Li Muyang walked over to Qiandu, holding a roasted red beak bird in his hand. "Eat some. It tastes pretty good."

Qiandu did not receive the bird meat, looked deep into Li Muyang's eyes and said, "I'm not hungry. My body feels warm and powerful——thank you."

"Then I'll have it. You can't waste anything here." Li Muyang said aloud, tearing off the leg of the bird and began to chew. "Thank me what? Remember the last time we went exploring around the academy? At that time I fell into the cold pond and you jumped into the cold pond inside to save me. It was so dangerous, but you didn't give up, did you? Canghai had told me."

When Li Muyang mentioned Lin Canhai, his mood became heavy.

Lin Canghai was taken away by the Chong Diao, and they were unsure whether he was alive or not.

The Chong Diao was wounded and had escaped, and might retaliate against Lin Canghai.

They should have immediately gone to rescue Lin Canghai, but they ran into the Changbai seven disgraces, who all had been killed in that fierce battle, and Qiandu was poisoned——

Li Muyang fed Qiandu dragon's blood and as a result Qiandu fainted. Li Muyang could not leave her by herself, so their search had been delayed until now.

"It's all my fault." Qiandu said with shame all over her face. "If it wasn't because I was poisoned, we could have saved Canghai earlier."

She got up from the rock that she was leaning against and said, "Let's go. Let's go find Canghai. I will not leave this illusion until I find Canghai."

The illusion of water only opens once a year, and if they do no leave before dawn, they would have to wait one whole year to get back out.

In this one year of time, they would have to immerse in the living water that was everywhere, endure the coldness of the Red Moon, and walk through dangerous areas like the Mountain of flames. Chong Diao or some other beasts of the divine continent would see them as preys, and they would serve as a companion for the moonlight wolves, because they are the ruler of this territory.

They would never see daylight, falling into darkness and the abyss.

There had been people that were left behind, but they had all died.

It was incredibly hard even for teachers of Starry Sky Academy to spend a year in this illusion.

Of course, those able to stay a year can become a strong person of Starry sky or perhaps——a madman.

Li Muyang did not doubt Qiandu's understanding of the water illusion, based on knowledge alone she would be ranked in the top of the Starry Sky students.

Of course, in addition to Lu Qiji that psycho and a genius like himself.

However, since she clearly knew of the danger of the illusion, yet still remained unhesitatingly behind to search for Canghai, this proved that their relations.h.i.+p was more than that of ordinary cla.s.smates, right?

Li Muyang stuffed the last piece of the bird meat into his mouth. "I won't go out without you. The three of us came into the illusion together, how can I go back myself? People would think I killed you two."

"Muyang——"

"Then it's decided." Li Muyang was glancing around. "While you were sleep, I have scouted out the surroundings. There is a mountain over at that direction, although not as high as Mountain of flames, it should belong to the environment that Chong Diao likes to live in——and it is not too far from here. Chong Diao has been wounded and shouldn't have gone far, maybe it left Canghai there."

"Then let's go." said Qiandu aloud.

Looking up and down at the tattered and dirty single layer of clothing on Li Muyang, she then asked, "Where's your clothes?"

When they came here, everyone was wearing the Starry Sky uniform- starry cloud robe. But now the starry cloud robe was nowhere to be seen on Li Muyang, only this piece of blood stained clothing that had many holes on it, like a beggar.

"It burst apart. apart." Li Muyang said with a low embarra.s.s tone. When he transformed into a dragon, he did not have the time to take off his long robe and the other pieces of clothing on him, and afterwards they all disappeared. "I just took the robe and clothes of the Changbai seven disgraces Zhong Yu for us to change into——"

"We?" Qiandu looked down, noticing the starry cloud robe on her was extremely wide and loose. It was obvious that it was not her own specially tailored robe. What's more, there was nothing inside, except for this piece of starry robe she was not dressed in any other layer of clothing.

"You were burning." Li Muyang hurriedly explained.

Chapter 295: Savage of the cave!

Qiandu really was burning.

After consuming the dragon's blood, the temperature of Qiandu's body was rapidly increasing.

When her body was releasing white smoke, Li Muyang only thought that it was a normal reaction. Because the dragon blood was hot and dry, ordinary people would be burned——that old dragon had also used the dragon blood to deal with people before. Li Muyang was just following the signs and adhering to the rules.

But, when Qiandu suddenly burst into flames, Li Muyang knew that the situation was not right.

When put out the fire on Qiandu, she would be without any clothes.

Like himself.

Li Muyang searched around, only the clothes on Zhong Yu could be stripped down to use.

Although wearing a dead person's clothes was not very auspicious, not wearing any clothes would be too shameless.

Li Muyang regretted the fact that he so domineeringly and directly killed the Changbai seven disgraces with a mouthful of dragon breath, perhaps he should have taken off their clothes and then killed them?

"There was only one complete set of clothes, I gave you the outer layer, so I'm only wearing the thinner inner layer—— " Li Muyang explained. "If you don't like it, I can swap it with you."

"No." Qiandu answered, tightly wrapping the waist belt around the starry cloud robe. "Us martial artists are not bothered by these stuff. The most important thing now is to find Canghai."

"You're right." Li Muyang said, nodding his head. He heaved a sigh of relief, inwardly glad that she did not ask him about some difficult questions.

It was only then that Qiandu came to notice that she was on top of the Mountain of flames.

Gazing on top of the mountain, it was a green forest with no end in sight.

The trees were growing densely together like a huge black tide.

Qiandu looked along the direction indicated by Li Muyang's finger and nodded. "Let’s go."

As she was speaking, she was using her inner strength to activate the gla.s.s mirror, enveloping both Li Muyang and her inside, and then the ball of transparent light darted toward the mountain peak in the distance.

At the bottom of the mountain, a man lies in the withered gra.s.s, watching the light that was gradually getting further away and disappearing with a full of shock, exclaiming: "Li Muyang, he really is a dragon——"

Drip!

Drip!

Drip! ——  

There was a seemingly endless sound of dripping water tapping against a rock.

Lin Canghai dared not open his eyes, afraid that the moment he open his eyes he would find himself dead. That really would be quite frightening.

He smelled a strong smell of barbecue, although he did not know what meat it was, or what spices was used, the smell was almost enough to bring people back to life. He was repeatedly swallowing his saliva as he caught the aroma of it and his stomach was producing loud rumbles.

He was hungry, he hadn't eaten anything ever since entering the illusion.

He had heard from the older generation that human flesh was the most fragrant meat in the world. He had also heard from the older generation that, there was a huge pot of scalding oil in h.e.l.l, that human flesh was cooked in everyday, like dumplings.

He could not help feeling more and more apprehensive and restless, could he have gone to that place?

He could hear the sound of crackling firewood, could that be the stove under the pot of oil? It was said that it is not firewood burning, but human oil. The oil in the human body can also be burned, and a tyrant ruler had even used it to light a lamp before——so people also call it the 'heaven light'.

He could hear loud chewing noises, and the meat was really aromatic. In his mind emerged the picture of that person with a mouthful of oil. For Lin Canghai, a person who had lived a life of luxury, he had never had such a craving for meat.

Dong Dong Dong—

He could hear sounds of approaching footsteps, echoing, like each step was stomping on his heart. He felt as if his heart was being crushed by a huge rock, and he was almost unable to breathe.

"Eat?" A man's voice echoed. The man's voice was strange, like he had a short tongue, and could not be heard clearly.

Along with that voice, there was a much more stronger smell of barbecued meat.

Lin Canghai felt that, the barbecued meat was almost at the tip of his nose, he only needed to open his mouth and he could tear off a chunk of meat

Lin Canghai did not open his eyes, he would not be fooled so easily. Those demons were just trying to make him open him eyes and give him a huge fright.

"Not eating?" The strange voice sounded again.

Then the sound was drifting away, and the smell of the barbecue meat became more and more distant.

Lin Canghai pretended that he was dead for a while, before he finally could not help opening his eyes.

He was not afraid of ghost scaring him, but people. Nevertheless he needed to figure out the situation first.

Above were rugged rocks, and a number of grotesquely shaped stalact.i.tes, that looked like daggers and blades.

There was a cave mouth in the distance, where the red moonlight was piercing in. There was a small pool in the cave, that received its water from a slowly dripping water source, which was the 'dripping' sound that Lin Canghai had just heard.

There was a heap of firewood beside the pool, and a savage with dishevelled hair was sitting there tearing on the leg of a beast.

Because the savage was too busy eating, and his hair was too long and too messy, like a pile of weed growing wildly, covering up his entire face, Lin Canghai could not see his face.

Beneath Lin Canghai, there was the fur of some unknown animal that had a stench of blood that could not be removed.

Unbearable for Lin Canghai, who had an obsession with cleanliness, he jumped up from the animal fur mat, strode in huge steps towards the fire, sat on a rock, and tore off a large piece of meat on the frame above the bonfire.

Since it was like this already, could there any worse result than this?

The man raised his head and glanced at Lin Canghai, and then back down at the beast's leg in his hand.

Lin Canghai was really too hungry and the barbecued meat was too fragrant, before he finished the meat in his hand he began to tear off another piece of barbecued meat on the fire.

As he was busy eating, he suddenly violently coughed up.

Choked.

The savage pa.s.sed him a huge red gourd, Lin Canghai looked at the colour of the gourd, and then shook his head.

Clasping the piece of meat in one hand, he dashed for the little pool in the cave, plunged half his face into the water, and began to drink to his heart's content.

Lin Canghai again sat in front of the heap of firewood, his manners were much more elegant and polite.

Now that he had something to eat, he cannot have such bad table manners like this savage. He would be scolded by his family for being so rude if they knew about it.

"What is this place?" Lin Canghai asked aloud while eating.

The savage was focused on eating and did not answer Lin Canghai's question.

"Did you save me?" Lin Canghai asked. "Or are you saying I'm dead?"

The savage still did not answer.

Lin Canghai was not angry, since the savage was still eating, he also continued eating.

As soon as he finished devouring the large piece of barbecued meat in his hands, he went back to the pool to drink a large mouthful of water to remove the greasiness, and then gave a cupped fist salute to the savage. "Thank you for saving me. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness."

After that, he sprinted towards the cave mouth.

He must hurriedly leave this ghost world, Sister w.a.n.g must be extremely worried seeing him being taken away by the Chong Diao. Li Muyang should be worried too, after all, he had worried about him before.

Adding to this, he did not know where he was right now. Every extra second would increase the risk of danger.

It was best for him to meet up with Sister w.a.n.g and Li Muyang as soon as possible.

Just then a sudden gust of wind swept through the cave.

Lin Canghai evaded in time and stood staring at a huge shadow at the cave mouth.

"GA GA GA——"

The sounds of a crying came from the mouth of the black shadow.

Lin Canghai stood petrified for a moment, staring at the huge shadow flapping its wings and landed on the ground with a fearful look on his face.

Chong Diao!

It was the huge eagle that took him from the forest!

Lin Canghai had never thought that the Chong Diao would chase him all the way here, and it looks like that——it was very close with that savage.

Seeing that the Chong Diao had came in, the savage tore off a chunk of meat and tossed it over.

The Chong Diao caught it with its mouth and gulped it down at once.

The savage noticed the Chong's blood stained back, searched around the cave, and scooped out a handful of watery mud to smear on the wound on the Chong Diao's back.

During this process, the Chong Diao did not move, letting the savage do what he wants. It was as though they had worked together many times before.

Afterwards, the savage went to the pool to wash his hands, when the Chong Diao glared fiercely at Lin Canghai, like it was keeping a sharp watch of him, but also like it was longing for something tasty  and wanting to swallow him.

When the savage returned, Lin Canghai gave him a hostile look.

"The eagle——is yours?" Lin Canghai asked loudly. He had lost the sword that was hanging at his waist, which made him lack a sense of security.

He furtively examined his own body, he was full of essential qi and physical strength, it seems like he still had the strength and power to fight. This gave him a little rea.s.surance.

To his surprise, the roasted meat he had just eaten was not poisonous.

Of course, the savage did not need to poison the barbecued meat. If he wanted to kill him, he could have killed him 1800 times over before when he was unconscious.

The Chong Diao that he raises took him away, but then he saved him and gave him some meat. What did this man and Chong Diao want?

"I don't own it." The savage cast a glance at Lin Canghai and stated, his words difficult to understand.

His every word was slow, like a sloth was speaking.

"Then why is it here? And you two look very close." Lin Canghai said in a sharp voice. He pointed at the Chong Diao. "It took me here, and almost killed me."

The savage eyed him thoughtfully, replying: "That is the matter between you two. It has nothing to do with me."

Chapter 296: Abandoned student of Starry Sky!

Your bird bit me and now you said that it's between us two and has nothing to do with you, what excuse is that?

If his own bird made a girl pregnant and he said that it is the business between them and has nothing to do with him, all the women in the world would call him a sc.u.mbag?

Lin Canghai himself was good-looking, so he was appearance-obsessed.

Appearance was everything, appearance was justice.

He saw the appearance of the savage, in fact, without clearly seeing his looks, he knew he must not be a good person——because he raised a not a bird but a huge eagle.

Before you beat a dog, you have to find out who's its master, if you're beaten by a bird, you also have to look at who's its owner. If a bird threatens based on its master's power and break the law and commit crimes, what kind of citizen is the owner?

In Jianghu, when you could not beat your opponent, the best thing to do is to reason with them. But what if the opponent is an idiot?

Lin Canghai decided to reason with the savage, he pointed to the Chong Diao that was glaring at him intently and looked as though would pounce onto him and tear him into pieces at anytime. "That's not your bird?"

Savage cast a look over at the Chong Diao, replying: "We are friends."

"Friends?" Lin Canghai sneered. "Your friend brought me here and almost ate me——you could still say that this matter has nothing to do with you?"

"What does it have to do with me?" Savage stared blankly at Lin Canghai, asking in a rhetorical tone.

"You must have ordered it."

"Order it to take you here, and let you sleep comfortably on my bed and wake up to eat the roasted venison?"

"——" Lin Canghai unexpectedly was left speechless by the strong point that the this savage had made. The most important point was that he found that the savage spoke more and more fluently. That strange p.r.o.nunciation was gradually disappearing, each word was p.r.o.nounced faster and faster. His learning ability was very strong, perhaps because of the fact that he had not spoken in a long time, it was only when he met him that his verbal ability was rapidly being recovered.

Savage pointed to the back of the Chong Diao that was smeared with volcanic lava. "From what you just said, it has been wounded this badly, as its friend, I also have to kill all those people?"

"It did wrong, who could it blame?"

Savage shook his head lightly. "All things and all living things have a destiny. I am destined to be here, you were destined to be taken here by the Chong Diao. Hunting is its destiny, being wounded by the human or killed by a more formidable beast is its destiny——I do not affect it, it does not affect me. This is the land of the wilderness."

Savage patted the Chong Diao's head. "If it comes, I welcome it. When it goes, I don't send it away. It disappears, I don't miss it. I think it feels the same."

The Chong Diao that was known as one of the ten most vicious beast of the Divine Continent was as docile as a lamb in front of him, lowing its head and letting him stroke it, and rubbing its body against the savage.

Savage and beast, this scene was very harmonious.

Lin Canghai thought that what he said made a lot of sense, but at this moment the most important thing for him was to escape.

He stared warily at the savage. "I don't care what the relations.h.i.+p between you two is. Since you said it was its idea to take me here, then it proves that you didn't mean to hurt me——Am I free to go now?"

"Of course." Savage said aloud. "I don't eat people. Human flesh does not taste good at all."

Lin Canghai was inwardly startled, the savage had just indifferently said that human flesh does not taste good which must meant that he had eaten human flesh before——Who is he exactly? Why would he stay in this nameless cave of the water illusion?

Looking around at the decor and arrangements around the cave, it seems that the savage had been living in the illusion for a long time. Why won't he go out?

With a lot of confusion in his mind, Lin Canghai cautiously crept toward the mouth of the cave.

He dared not to loosen his guard, fearing that the savage and the savage bird would give himself a deadly attack.

The savage also didn't say anything, just silently watched Lin Canghai s.h.i.+fting over to the cave mouth.

Seeing the prey that it caught was about to leave, the Chong Diao spread its wings, producing loud 'GA GA GA' cries again.

"Quiet." Savage said aloud.

The Chong Diao folded its wings back, stopped its crying, and restrained its attack, obediently standing by the savage's side.

Lin Canghai had reached the mouth of the cave, when he found that the cave was on a mountain. The mountain peak was very high, cold wind was whistling, clouds and mist were curling up, and below was a bottomless abyss.

Lin Canghai did not know how high the mountain was, and did not know what was below. He was hesitant, he did not know whether to jump down or not.

He was finally able to escape with great difficulty, but what if he jumped down and fell to his death. Lin Canghai did not want to risk this.

As though he saw that Lin Canghai was hesitating, Savage said aloud: "To be able to wound Chong Diao that badly, and stabbed its back one knife after another, proves that this person was riding on the Chong Diao when he was attacking——this person's strength is extraordinary, this student of Starry Sky makes people look forward to meeting him."

Lin Canghai stared at the savage in surprise, asking: "You know about Starry Sky Academy?"

"The name is well known across the divine continent, of course I know about it.”

"Who the h.e.l.l are you?" Lin Canghai finally could not help asking this question.

Savage turned toward the open fire, his voice sounding somewhat upset when he said: "An abandoned student of Starry Sky."——

———————————————–

Under the protection of the gla.s.s mirror, Li Muyang and Qiandu no longer encountered any danger.

But there were some unknown large birds that came flying over when they saw this transparent light cloak but was struck to the ground as they touched the light s.h.i.+eld. Later, afraid of the light, most of them kept a distance and did not disturb them anymore.

Not sure whether it was because of adequate rest or because she drank dragon's blood, Qiandu's mental state was very good, and there was an endless supply of essential qi within her body. The gla.s.s mirror could also display a huge protection field, and Qiandu was not a bit tired at all.

Li Muyang was more relaxed, he was completely led by Qiandu and did not need to consume a shred of strength.

But Li Muyang did not dare to lower his guard, he seized the time to restore his physical strength, using an internal cultivation technique of 'The Art of Breaking Body' and operated his essential qi, letting it rapidly circulate around his body for 18 large cycles and 18 small cycles. In the land of illusion, there is great danger with every step. No one knew what kind of danger and opponent they would encounter.

However, along the way, Li Muyang and Qiandu did not say a word.

They occasionally looked at each other in the eye, but then quickly looked away.

Li Muyang clearly felt that the relations.h.i.+p between them had changed.

Before Qiandu was extremely calm, perfectly composed in everything she did, as if everything was under control.

Now she——obviously couldn't control her emotions.

Li Muyang also felt a little awkward, after all, they had been open and honest with each other, and he took off Zhong Yu clothes, washed it and helped her change into——Except for Li s.h.i.+nian, he had never been so close to a girl before.

Li Muyang could only pretend that nothing had happened.

Of course, Qiandu was a clever girl, she must have knew what had happened. It would not be easy to hide at all?

——Che——

Above the light s.h.i.+eld, there was a slight movement.

Li Muyang looked up to see a little white beast crawling around the light s.h.i.+eld.

It had a red nose and huge eyes, and looked extremely cute, like a puppy the size of a palm.

Because the light s.h.i.+eld was too smooth, the puppy was constantly sliding down. The puppy was obviously unwilling to accept such a fate, so he was struggling to climb to the top of the s.h.i.+eld with its four little paws.

Li Muyang was amused by its naïve and innocent look, and could not help smiling.

The little beast stared at Li Muyang's smile with its huge eyes, smiled like Li Muyang and giggled out loud.

It simply could melt a human's heart with its cuteness

Li Muyang excitedly looked at Qiandu and asked: "Can you let it in?"

Although Qiandu liked this little beast, but there was a wary expression on her face. "The Gla.s.s mirror is a divine weapon of the world, wind and rain cannot penetrate, and swords and spears cannot enter. All living things cannot come near, even a single goose feather would bounce back upon contact——Those big birds were struck dizzy when they collided into the gla.s.s mirror. The larger the external force, the stronger the rebound of the gla.s.s mirror. But why is it that this little beast is safe and sound?"

Li Muyang also had a puzzled look, replying: "Yes. Why does it have no reaction at all? When its body touches the gla.s.s mirror, it would create pressure on the gla.s.s mirror. The pressure is enough to propel its body away——not only is it not bounced away, but it's still climbing up the gla.s.s mirror. It really strange."

Li Muyang looked up at the little white beast and asked" "What kind of monster are you? What is your intention?"

The small beast started unblinkingly at Li Muyang with its big blue innocent eyes, and seeing that Li Muyang was also staring wide-eyed at it, its mouth curved into a smile again.

Li Muyang gave a wry smile, before he turned to Qiandu and said: "It just acts cute. There's no way to interrogate it."

Qiandu looked at the small beast and said: "Then ignore it. It must have been attracted by the brilliance of the gla.s.s mirror. When we reach the bottom of the mountain and put away the gla.s.s mirror, itwill leave by itself."

Li Muyang sighed: "Too bad I can't bring it back with me, s.h.i.+nian would definitely like it. She had always wanted to have a pet dog."

Qiandu did not speak, thinking to herself that Li Muyang really cared about his little sister, and always could not help mentioning her.

The gla.s.s mirror swiftly advanced forward, and in a place that Li Muyang and Qiandu, who were inside the light cloak, could not see, there was a stream of water trailing behind them, as though it had life and was spying on their movements.

Chapter 297: The heart of the weak water!

"Abandoned student of Starry Sky?" Lin Canghai had a puzzled look across his face. "Starry Sky Academy?"

"What other Academy dares to be named after the starry sky?"

"You were a student of starry sky?"

Lin Canghai had never imagined that, the man in front of him with messy hair like weeds, face dark like a cauldron was also a student of Starry sky.  Apart from the pair of gentle and confused eyes, there was hardly any other facial features that were visible.

Also, the clothes that were on him had lost its colour, even the part that was covering his b.u.t.tocks had been mended with animal skin. Where is the pride and presentable appearance that a student of Starry Sky should have?

A person like that, was also a student of Starry Sky Academy?

The favourable opinion that Lin Canghai had of Starry Sky was greatly reduced, to think the academy would accept all kind of people?

The savage did not like what he was hearing, so he simply didn't listen. He strode towards the fire in huge steps, sat down on a rock by the fire, lifted the red gourd and gulped down huge mouthfuls of water.

The Chong Diao was fiercely glaring at Lin Canghai, a callous look on his face as though it was saying that if he dare run away it would capture him again and eat him, while s.h.i.+fting over to the savage, squatted in the fire and finished eating the piece of meat that the savage tore off.

Lin Canghai took another glance down the cliff, where the cold wind was whistling and black mist tumbling. The moon in the sky was growing fainter, and his visual range was getting narrower. It was dangerous to jump off a cliff at this time.

However, because the savage called himself an abandoned student of Starry Sky, it made Lin Canghai felt somewhat close to him. Is this what they call meeting an old friend far from home?

Lin Canghai moved closer to the fire pit, which could dispel the chill in the cave.

He stood in the distance observing the expression on the savage's face, asking: "Since you're a student of Starry Sky, then why don't you go back?"

"I won't go back. I also have no face to go back." Savage stated loudly.

"Why?" Lin Canghai asked with a curious look on his face. "The reason the academy sends students into the illusion, is to let students to experience adventure and break into the next realm. When we came in, the teachers repeatedly told us that, no matter what, we must return before morning——You must have lived in this illusion for some years?"

"How many years?" Savage mumbled, pondered for a long time, shook his head and said. "There is no sun and moon, I don't know how many years have I stayed here. Maybe, it should be a long time? I have watched generation after generation of students come in, generation after generation of students go out. There were some students that have never gotten out——"

Lin Canghai gasped in surprise, trying to discern the age of savage, but because the cave was dark, the savage's face was even more dark, it was difficult to see clearly.

"Then you should be my senior——which year did Senior enter the academy?"

"What year?" Savage looked down deep in thought, then shook his head. "I also do not remember."

"What does senior remember?"

"I remember what should be remembered."

"For example?"

"Why I am here." Savage said in a low voice. This was evidently not a topic he wanted to discuss.

Lin Cangahi's curiosity about the savage was piqued.

He sat down savage on a rock like the savage, looked at the savage across the fire, and asked: "Why did you come here?"

Savage lifted his head, his eyes shot a look at Lin Canghai from beneath his messy hair and said: "Didn't you also come for that thing?"

Lin Canghai replied after a brief thought, "If it was an ordinary treasure, it is not worth you staying here for so many years. So it must be a divine treasure that is tempting your mind——I'm guessing. I don't know what divine weapons thee are in this water illusion, but when we came in, we saw the stone tablet of Feng Lin Continent, and the island was surrounded by weak water. Weak water is the eye of the formation, a natural barrier of the illusion of water. So what you're looking for must be the legendary heart of the weak water, right?"

"That's right." Savage did not deny it. "We were here for that thing."

Lin Canghai did not know whether to laugh or cry, looked at the savage and said: "Senior, you should be aware that the heart of the weak water is not an ordinary object, the outside world does not even know about it. I don't know what it looks like, I don't know what remarkable ability it has. Even until now, no one has seen it in person or had possessed it before——Of course, there are historical records that during the Dragon Slayer period the strongest person of Starry Sky Xuan Yuan used the heart of weak water time and time again to slaughter dragons. But that is just a legend. Even now there are historians arguing that the object that Xuan Yuan used infinitely was not the real heart of the weak water——"

Lin Canghai felt pity for the savage, continuing in a consoling tone. "For a mysterious weapon, that perhaps does not exist in this world, you wasted your youth and time here, is it worth it?"

Savage pointed to the running water inside the cave, asking: "What is that?"

"Water." Lin Canghai said. "It was only when I came here that I noticed this world is full of living water. What's even more strange is that, the water does not affect the normal life of humans. We can still breathe and talk, and can barbecue. Not even our clothes or hair are wet. It's like we are living in the underwater world. It's very mysterious"

"Why is that so?" asked the savage.

"In the illusion of water, what sort of strange things won't happen? To tell you the truth, I don't even know whether I'm actually here or this is just an imaginary s.p.a.ce. Just like the a.s.sessment when we entered Starry Sky Academy, every illusion that we entered was a set up. It was a randomly generated scene or person based on what we were thinking in our minds——or it could be said, it was one nightmare after another."

Savage shook his head. "This is the real world. Every person or animal you see here is real. I am real and the Chong Diao is real. The dead are also real. If you die, it is real."

Lin Canghai could still feel his heart fluttering with fear, as he glowered at the Chong Diao. "Almost could not go back."

"If you can't go back you really couldn't go back." The savage said.

He touched the water with his finger and stated, "This is not water. This is water element."

"Water element?"

"The illusion of water is supported by countless water elements. The reason for this is that there is a steady stream of water elements produced by the heart of weak water." The savage spoke some startling words. "The heart of the weak water is not illusory, it does exist. And it's all around us. It is within reach for each one of us."

Chapter 298: Eerie valley!

"Pff——"

Lin Canghai was very amused by this senior who was still so naive and innocent, but when he caught sight of the Chong Diao staring fiercely at himself, his smile was instantly gone. "Since brother said the heart of the weak water is near us, everyone can reach it. Then why don't you just take it and go back?"

Lin Canghai reached out his hand to grab a water element in front, saying: "Isn't it here? If so, we can go home."

Savage looked at Lin Canghai from the corner of his eyes, and did not feel that what he said was ridiculous. "It is around us, it is everywhere. Look for it with your heart."

"So, senior has been looking for it for so many years?"

"As long as I can obtain the heart of the weak water, wasting a little time and energy is nothing." Savage said firmly, there was a slight trace of stubbornness and——stupidity.

Lin Canghai, after listening, began to grow upset, he felt a kind of unspeakable grief and indignation.

Cultivating martial arts and breaking into the next realm, were the goals that countless people chase after. Becoming a strong person of Starry Sky, was also the ultimate achievement that everyone is eager to achieve.

But, the divine continent was so vast, and there are billions of people, how many people would be remembered and admired?

Some people remain poor for a lifetime, some stop progressing at the High Mountain realm, while many people could not get started in cultivation.

Risking their talent, their background, opportunity, and risking everything.

Everyone may do their best and everyone may disregard their safety and risk their life, but you may not get the corresponding return.

Just like the imperial exam results that were released every year, or an army of troops and horses crossing a bridge made of a log, the success rate is one in a thousand. Does it mean that most of the people who failed the imperial exams did not work hard?

This senior was like that, its not that he had not tried hard, its not that he had not risked his life. He was even willing to live in an incredibly sinister land of illusion for years——but what did he get in the end?

Nothing！

Lin Canghai looked at the savage with a sincere look. "Senior, let's go back together? There isn't just one way in breaking into the next realm. Moreover, the divine continent is so vast, there are countless weapons and objects that are not well-known. Why do you only fix your attention on the heart of the weak water that doesn't exist?"

"You don't understand." Senior savage said.

"——" Lin Canghai felt the impulse to draw his sword and slash people. I have good intentions, okay? I'm sincerely trying to help you? Do you need to slap me in the face?

"Without the heart of the weak water, would I have the face to go back?"

"As you say, those that do not have the heart of the weak water or gained nothing from the illusion of water should not return to the school?" Lin Canghai said in an angry tone. He did not obtain anything good from this visit, does that mean he has to follow this senior savage to stay here for a few years? Lin Canghai would never do such a foolish thing.

Relocation make a tree dead but a person alive. There are countless treasures in his house. He did not want to die in this illusion.

"You don't understand." The savage repeated.

"——" To tell the truth, if it were not for his bird, Lin Canghai would had jumped up and fought him.

"I came in with an important mission, my friends and cla.s.smates that came with me all died tragically. If I return alone, how do I explain to them. Savage face was contorted with anguish. "How do I explain to the school? How do I explain to the teachers who had high hopes for us? And how do I explain to the families of those students?"

Lin Canghai cried out sharply in surprise, "You had an important mission of entering the illusion? Your mission was to find the heart of the weak water?"

"That's right." The savage nodded.

"Did the Academy let you in?"

"That is correct."

"Then you——" Lin Canghai somewhat understand why senior savage persevered, and was full of respect for him. "The college sent some students in, to find the heart of the weak water. In the end for some reason, the companions that came into the illusion with you were sacrificed, only you——survived?"

"I wish it was me that died, it would be a relief."

"Why did the academy ask you to do such a thing?" Lin Canghai asked. "Since they want the heart of the weak water, then they could directly send a few teachers or masters to come in? Why did you guys come in here to look for it?"

"Do you know why the academy only let the freshmen enter the illusion every year?"

"I don't know." Lin Canghai shook his head.

"Water is the source of all souls. They are indeed existence with life. If you are not hostile to water, the water will not be hostile to you. But if you come with hostility, the water would be hostile to you. The lower your cultivation level, the weaker the water's repulsive force. If the one that entered was a strong person of Starry Sky, the aggressiveness of the water element would become extremely strong, will enter a crazy engulfing stage. At that time, the strong person of Starry Sky can fight back, but those weak cultivation level students may all be killed by the water elements——This is the reason why the Academy is extremely cautious in the selection of student that enter the illusion. So the overall balance of the water illusion is not destroyed. In an unbalanced state, no one knows what horrors will happen."

"I see." Lin Canghai exclaimed. "Then how can we get the heart of weak water? If we resort to our skills and ability, the water element will become more aggressive to us. If we do not exert any remarkable powers, we cannot gain possession of the heart of the weak water. Isn't that contradictory?"

Savage glanced at Lin Canghai. "Talents and treasure, are reserved for the fated. Do you think anyone can get it?"

Having listened to senior savage explain for half a day, Lin Canghai only felt that the distance between him and the heart of the weak water had grown further and further away——

—————————————————-

The white little beast was still lying on the light s.h.i.+eld refusing to leave, but also because it was unable to gain a foothold on the smooth light s.h.i.+eld its fat body was constantly slipping. It was not willing to let itself slide down, so its four little short legs were desperately struggling to climb up.

Li Muyang and Qiandu sped along without stopping, watching the little silly s...o...b..ll slipping down and more stupidly climbing back up again.

Li Muyang felt that his heart was being melted, and once again said to Qiandu, "It looks so small and doesn't have much intelligence——it shouldn't pose any danger, right? Why don't we let it in? Look at it climbing up after much difficulty and sliding down again, it looks so pitiful."

Qiandu was also subdued by the adorable appearance of this little beast, even though she was worried about Lin Canghai's situation, she had been amused several times by the silly look of the little beast.

When Qiandu heard Li Muyang's words, she hesitated for a moment and explained: "We are going to a dangerous place and have important things to do. Why bring it with us?"

Li Muyang thought for a moment and then agreed. They were here to save Lin Canghai. You may have to fight the Chong Diao again, and perhaps other dangerous enemies. If they brought this little beast that did not have the ability to protect itself with them, what if it gets hurt or eaten by the Chong Diao?

Li Muyang stretched out a finger, lightly stroking its snow-white little paw. "Snow ball, hurry go. Don't follow us. We're going to do some dangerous things and we can't take you with us——If we see each other again then I'll take you out of the illusion."

The little beast saw Li Muyang stretch out his finger to scratch its little paw, and giggled out loud again.

Perhaps in its mind, Li Muyang was playing a game with it. And it also liked this game.

So, it extended out its front paw to touch Li Muyang's finger that was separated by the transparent light cloak.

——Kekeke——

Li Muyang could not help opening his mouth wide and giggling non-stop.

Extreme joy was followed by sorrow, it was already difficult for it to stand firm on the light s.h.i.+eld and now it was stretching out its paw to play games. Its snow white body lost balance, immediately tumbling down.

"Ah——" Li Muyang cried, hurrying over.

They were flying at an extremely fast speed, if the little s...o...b..ll fell off the light cloak at that speed he would surely get hurt.

Li Muyang's eyes were darting around, but he could not see the snow-white figure.

Just as he was dreadfully worried, the little beast suddenly appeared above their heads, giggling and pointing at Li Muyang with its paw. It was laughing happily and rolling around on top of the light s.h.i.+eld.

"Careful." Li Muyang shouted.

Before his voice died away, the little beast vanished once again.

Li Muyang gently sighed, turned to Qiandu and said, "Your worry is right. With its IQ, and without any ability to protect itself, if we take it with us we would only bring danger to it——"

Li Muyang waited for a long while, but the little white beast never climbed onto the light s.h.i.+eld. Perhaps, this time it really couldn't keep up?

Li Muyang was somewhat disappointed, like he had lost a good companion.

Under the protection of the gla.s.s mirror, the two people successfully arrived at the bottom of the target mountain peak.

There was no stone tablet at the foot of the mountain, but there was a huge black valley ahead.

The valley was shrouded in dark mist, and looked terribly eerie.

Li Muyang and Qiandu did not care about the valley, instead looked up at the towering mountain in front, almost reaching the red moon. When they were at the top of the Mountain of flames, this mountain did not look as high as the Mountain of flames. But once they reached the foot of the mountain, they found that the mountain was much taller than the mountain of flames.

Perhaps this was what ancient great poet Jia Dao meant by 'only in the mountain, the depths of cloud is not known'.

"Is this it?" Li Muyang said aloud.

"Hopefully." Qiandu answered in a low voice

When they were about to climb up, a shadow suddenly ran out from the eerie valley, shouting miserably: "Help——"

Chapter 299: The human heart was the most poisonous!

There were gusts of cold wind and the black mist was rolling across. That valley was evidently not any ordinary agricultural land, and there may be an old black mountain demon jumping out suddenly.

Li Muyang was about to head up the mountain with Qiandu when he saw a man white shouting 'help' and rus.h.i.+ng towards them.

Although Li Muyang did not recognise this person, but seeing that he was wearing a Starry Sky Academy's starry cloud robe, he should be one of the students that entered the illusion with them.

The man's body was stained with blood and seemed to have suffered a bitter battle in the valley. Across his chest were many wounds, blood flowing out, and his flesh was exposed, looking extremely tragic.

Barren mountains and wasteland, monsters were ferocious and terrifying. If those monsters came in droves, it would really be a huge problem. That was what happened when Li Muyang and the others encountered the pack of moon wolf.

It was said that there are no friends.h.i.+p in the land of illusions. Everyone would resort to their most primordial instinct, the evil of human nature would be infinitely enlarged.

Li Muyang did not care how other people think or what they do, since everyone were students of Starry Sky, were similarly wearing the Starry cloud outfit, they are of the same root. They should be supportive and look after each other.

Li Muyang was about to draw his sword to rescue him, when he saw that from the eerie valley dashed out another few shadows.

It was not a beast that was chasing after him, but humans.

And, from their appearance and clothing, they seemed to be students of Starry Sky.

"Attacking each other?" Li Muyang frowned. Qiandu's gaze also narrowed in disapproval.

The leader, a white robed man, soared into the air and swung out his sword, and a white air current hurled toward the back of the injured man. If he was. .h.i.t, the injured man would most likely be dismembered.

Li Muyang reached out his hand and dragged the injured man's body behind him.

At the same time, the magic flute in Qiandu's hand was turning blue, and then a bolt of lightning struck the sword light.

Kacha——

Sword qi and lightning collided against each other in the air, producing sharp cracking and snapping noises.

"Save me——" The wounded man grabbed Li Muyang's arm and breaks out with a loud, tragic wail. "Save me. Please save me——they're going to kill me, they're going to kill me——"

Li Muyang patted his arm, motioning him not to panic, looked at the several white men that had surrounded them and shouted: "We are all students of Starry Sky, why do such a cruel thing? Aren't you afraid of receiving punishment when you go back to the academy?"

"The punishment from the academy?" Huang huang was already furious when his sword attack failed, but when the boy in white dared question him he could feel the anger growing, bubbling up inside him. He raised his sword, and glowered at the injured man who was hiding behind Li Muyang. "He killed and stole the treasure, what should we do? Everyone should punish this kind of sc.u.m, I would say the same thing to the Academy when they ask me. Do you want to shelter this heartless sc.u.m?"

"Kill and stole the treasure?" Li Muyang could feel his heart thumping within his chest, a bad feeling inside.

"He is lying, I never did it——" cried the wounded man. "I did not kill, they saw that I obtained the Illuminating dragon wall inside the Dragon Palace, so they want to kill me, and take my dragon wall——"

"Dragon palace? Illuminating dragon wall?"

Li Muyang and Qiandu exchanged a glance at each other.

There is a dragon palace in the water illusion?

Right, Li Muyang suddenly recalled the words of the son of the Red Moon. The Wolf King said that his ancestor made a deal with it, exchange three years of use of the heart of the weak water for its wolf pearl. This proved that a dragon has been here, and has lived in this illusion for some time, and even built a temporary palace in this eerie valley——

The wealthy could do whatever they want!

But what the h.e.l.l is the dragon wall?

Could it be that when you s.h.i.+ne that thing at a dragon, you would know whether that is a dragon or not——Isn't that useless?

A dragon is so enormous, a blind person could see whether it is a dragon or not. Do you still need to s.h.i.+ne the illuminating dragon wall at it?

There is another possibility, you could s.h.i.+ne it on a person. When you s.h.i.+ne the illuminating dragon wall at a human being you could tell if the person is a dragon or not——how many people do you have to s.h.i.+ne at to find a dragon? If they could so easily find a dragon in the vast divine continent, their divine race would had already commanded millions of races. Would there be a need for the revival of the dragon race?

Li Muyang suddenly felt that the illuminating dragon wall was of very little value, it was an object that was useless to him.

Of course, he must go take a look at the Dragon Palace. Who would not return to their own home?

The things inside his home are his property. The fact that these people went treasure hunting in his home and did not greet the owner irritated Li Muyang.

"Zhang An-an, stop denying it. Your teammate Li Mi discovered the Illuminating dragon wall first, but because of your greedy intentions, while Li Mi was off guard against you pierced his heart with your sword——"

"Zhang An-an, you must not have thought of it, while you were hastily running away with your treasure, we arrived when Li Mi was still breathing and he told us the truth——"

"The net of Heaven has large meshes but it lets nothing through and always catches the evil, today we will enforce justice on behalf of the heaven——"

The people crowded around and yelled, they hated Zhang An-an to the core.

Li Muyang turned around to look at Zhang An-an, saying: "What is going on? You have to tell me the truth. If you have received unjust treatment, I will definitely protect you. If you're really the kind of person that they say you are, I will leave you to die."

Plop——

Zhang An sank to his knees in front of Li Muyang, his eyes red, and his face was wet with tears, pointing to those that were accusing him. "They are lying. They are lying. Li Mi and I found the Illuminating dragon wall together, just as we were about to take it away, these people suddenly broke into the Dragon Palace. They asked us to give them the dragon wall, and we obviously refused."

Zhang An-an pointed his blood-stained finger at Huang Huang, screaming: "He suddenly pulled out his sword and started attacking, and thrust his sword at Li Mi's back. I saw that the situation was unfavourable, I took the dragon wall and tried to escape, they wanted to steal my treasure and kill me, so followed me all the way here. If I had not ran into you, I would have died in their hands."

"Distorting the truth, you're so shameless."

"Zhang An-an, no matter what today, you will not leave this illusion——"

"We don't need to have the Dragon wall, but we must kill you——"

Li Muyang was torn between the two versions of the story.

It was said that beasts are hateful, but the human heart was 10 times more hateful than those beasts.

These people argued their side of the case well. However, no matter what the truth was, it would still be shocking.

In order to gain possession of a useless piece of treasure, they pulled out their swords to kill each other.

Do they have any sense of honour? Do they not care about the friends.h.i.+p between cla.s.smates?

Li Muyang looked at Zhang An-an and asked loudly, "Where is the dragon wall?"

Zhang An-an suddenly stopped wailing, staring warily at Li Muyang and asking, "What——are you thinking of doing?"

The others' gaze was also fixed on Li Muyang. "Boy, are you trying to s.n.a.t.c.h the treasure?"

"I told you, there is no hero, he is just a greedy trash——"

"Just say it if you want the treasure, if you don't tell us how would we know that you want it——"

Everyone were staring strangely at Li Muyang, thinking that he was suddenly more adorable.

After all, they were the same kind of people.

Li Muyang gently shook his head. "I don't want the Illuminating Dragon, I don't care who has it. But since this started because of the wall, why don't we just destroy it? Suffering financial losses can dispel calamities, everyone treat it as though nothing had happened. What do you think?"

"Never." Zhang An-an yelled sharply. "I risked my life for the illuminating dragon wall, why should I give it to you to destroy?"

The others burst into loud laughters, and Huang huang looked at Li Muyang and said, "Boy, did you see that? He is refusing your help. So go do whatever you have to do. You don't have to meddle here."

"Exactly. Your kindness is being treated as ill intent. I advise you to leave quickly, you might not be able to leave later."

Li Muyang looked at Zhang An-an, gently sighing: "If you don't have your life, what is the use in having the Illuminating dragon wall? You won't have it and others also won't have it. Don't you think that's good?"

"No." Zhang An-an shook his head. "That's impossible. It's mine, I found it, I won't throw it away."

"As long as you destroy the dragon wall, I can guarantee your safety." Li Muyang glanced at the Starry sky students that crowded around them, before he continued: "At least I won't let them hurt you."

"No, that's impossible." Zhang An-an's face was filled with panic, screaming, "I would rather die."

"So you killed Li Mi?"

"It was him who wanted——" Zhang An-an stared in shock, his face paler than paper.

Li Muyang gave him an icy glare as he questioned him: "You and Li Mi found the Illuminating dragon wall together, then he wanted to kill you, so you killed him first. Is that right?"

"No. It's not like that." Zhang An-an was desperately shaking his head. "I didn't kill him, I didn't kill him. Don't force me, do not force me——you are with them, you want to steal my illuminating dragon wall."

The sword in his hand suddenly thrust towards Li Muyang's stomach, when Qiandu kicked him in the elbow, and the sword in his hand went flying off to one side.

Putong——

Li Muyang kicked him in his chest and forcefully stomped on his body.

"Why do people like you live?" Li Muyang uttered in a cold voice, his foot firmly on Zhang An-an's chest.

Chapter 300: Despicable wretch!

"You were the one that saved him." Huang huang yelled out.

"——" The answer left Li Muyang speechless.

Indeed, if Li Muyang had not rescued Zhang An-an, Huang Huang would had hacked him to death. The question that why Zhang An-an was still alive, in the final a.n.a.lysis, the responsibility was on himself.

"I was just asking. Do you have to answer?" Li Muyang said irritably. People hate men that talk a lot.

"Let go of me." Zhang An-an was desperately struggling, clenching his fist and was about to smash it in Li Muyang's calf, when Li Muyang suddenly exerted force, he suddenly lost all strength, his fist went numb and weak. "Let go of me. You're with them, you're all trying to s.n.a.t.c.h my Illuminating dragon wall——You despicable little wretch, let go off me——"

As Zhang An-an was struggling to get away, Li Muyang was constantly exerting force,

He stared at Zhang An-an with a biting cold gaze, uttering, "If I hadn't pulled you away, you'd have been chopped to death by them. Is that how you repay your saviour?"

"What saviour. Like them, you are a despicable wretch that is eyeing on my treasure. You saved me to steal my Illuminating dragon wall from my hands——you're no different than them, what is the difference between dying in their hands and dying in your hands, it's still death——"

"A fly's eyes only see dog p.o.o.p." Li Muyang felt deeply hurt, the world has a lot of misconceptions about him. "If I want your Illuminating dragon wall, I'll just reach out my hand and s.n.a.t.c.h it. Do I need to say so much nonsense? Besides, if I wanted your Illuminating dragon wall, would I let you smash it?"

In this world, no one wanted to destroy the Illuminating dragon wall more than Li Muyang did.

What if someone s.h.i.+ned the Illuminating dragon wall at him?

"The truth has come out." Qiandu looked down at Zhang An-an with disgust, saying to Li Muyang. "For a weapon, you would kill your cla.s.smate and friend. Despicable, you deserve to die."

Before entering the water illusions, the students formed the teams themselves. In other words, only those that were close with each other made a team.

The fact that Zhang An-an and Li Mi were grouped together to enter the illusion, meant that they were on pretty good terms and trusted each other.

And the result?

With the appearance of the Illuminating Dragon Wall, their evil intention surfaced and they drew their swords on each other. This was absurd and upsetting to hear.

Li Muyang moved his foot away from Zhang An-an. "We won't get involved."

Huang Huang, with a complacent and satisfied smile, said: "Let us kill a wretch like him. He would only go back to the school and continue to harm others."

Li Muyang looked at him coldly. "In order to take the Illuminating dragon wall he killed his cla.s.smate, and you're also killing a cla.s.smate for the Illuminating dragon wall. What is the difference between the two of you?"

"Of course we're different." Huang Huang said irritably. "We are enforcing justice on behalf of the heaven."

Huang Huang was extremely dissatisfied with Li Muyang. "Boy, if you want to interfere, or is thinking of taking the Illuminating Dragon Wall, then let's have a real fight. If you win, you're right. The loser will stay here forever. If you don't want to bring trouble to yourself, don't want to get involved in this matter, then I suggest you to quickly leave with the beautiful girl. If I had such a beautiful female cla.s.smate, I would not do such a dangerous thing. How nice to be alive, don't you agree?"

"Yes, if you want to fight, then fight. Don't waste our time——"

"He wanted to protect a wretch like him, it seems that this boy is not a person of good character——"

"Don't waste time talking to him, let's do it——"

Li Muyang nodded. "You're right."

Li Muyang took Qiandu's hand, and the two turned toward the mountain peak.

"Smart choice." Huang Huang smiled.

Zhang An-an grabbed the sword that Qiandu kicked out his hand, quickly climbed up from the ground, looked at Huang Huang and the others with a determined expression, pulled out the spotlessly white like jade wall from his bosom and yelled: "You said you don't want this Illuminating dragon wall? Come on, come here——if you dare step forward, I will split the Illuminating dragon wall into two halves. If I can't have it, you also won't get it."

Huang Huang sneered: "You think you could protect your own life? Today even if we destroy the Illuminating dragon wall, we will enforce justice on behalf of the heaven and help Starry Sky get rid of a vicious student."

"Is that right?" Zhang An-an began laughing wildly, clenching his teeth: as he said "Then come on. Are you not going to enforce justice on behalf of the heaven? Then come and kill me. Why don't you do it? Or do you want the Illuminating dragon wall? The Illuminating dragon wall is the stonewall that the dragon clan trains martial arts, which hides a set of cultivation method of the dragon clan. If I slash across the stone wall or cut off a corner, the set of cultivation method would disappear——aren't you going to kill me? Come on. Come on."

No one moved forward.

The group of starry sky students that had gathered around was all looking at Huang Huang, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Huang Huang was put in a difficult situation.

Still gripping his sword, he scowled at Zhang An-an who was howling with laughter.

"He's so arrogant, but no one is going over to 'enforce justice on behalf on the heavens'." Holding hands with Qiandu, Li Muyang whispered: "They just want the Illuminating dragon wall."

"Why should we go?" Qiandu looked at Li Muyang puzzled. "If the Illuminating dragon wall is real, no matter what, we have to take it or destroy it. Why are we leaving?"

"Not nice." Li Muyang said.

"What?"

"Not nice for our reputation." Li Muyang said: "Although Zhang An-an is a b.a.s.t.a.r.d that deserves to die. However, if we killed him, other people would think that we killed him to take the treasure, we would be the same as that Huang Huang. What's the difference between us and the people we despise?"

"Don't look back." Li Muyang reminded. "We have to seem like we have no interest in the Illuminating dragon wall."

Huang Huang found the chance.

As Zhang An-an was drawing back slowly, retreating step by step with the Illuminating dragon wall in his arms, he tripped over a rock.

As he was stumbling, a man in white attacked from the left, swinging down his sword at his hand that was clasped around the dragon wall.

Zhang An-an hastily turned to dodge the attack, and then felt a cold sensation at his throat, when a fine red line appeared across his neck.

Zhang An-an's eyes were bulging, wide-open, staring at Huang Huang in disbelief.

"You brought about your own death" Huang Huang sneered.

He inserted the sword into the sheath, and was about to take the dragon wall in Zhang An-an's hand, when there was a white figure appearing in front.

Huang Huang was stunned for a moment, before he could he ask: "Why did you come back?"

Li Muyang was standing in front, glaring at him and saying coldly, "You despicable dretch, you don't care about friends.h.i.+p, disregard the laws and rules, killed your cla.s.smate to steal the treasure. This kind of evil doing I really cannot stand, today I will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens, and bring about a peaceful and orderly world——"

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d——" In fury, Huang Huang could not think of the right words to insult Li Muyang. To think there are such despicable and shameless b.a.s.t.a.r.ds in the world.

"This boy is picking a fight, he wants to s.n.a.t.c.h our treasure——

"You won't take the road to heaven, but push yourself to h.e.l.l where there is not a door. Everybody, kill this guy——"

"Killing one is killing, killing two is killing——"

Before his voice died away, another white figure appeared at the side of Li Muyang.

They're going to have to kill three.

Just as Qiandu was accompanying Li Muyang up the mountain, in the blink of an eye Li Muyang had suddenly disappeared.

By the time she reacted, Li Muyang had already shamelessly returned to the battlefield.

Seeing Li Muyang so righteously criticise Huang Huang, Qiandu did not know whether to laugh

Although Qiandu felt embarra.s.sed, she still activated the gla.s.s mirror and protected herself and Li Muyang inside. This was to prevent Li Muyang from being suddenly attacked by the several others.

Qiandu could tell that, these people were not weak, adding to this their attacks were cunning and strange. If Li Muyang was not on guard, he might be at a disadvantage.

"What a dirty mouth. To think that person is also a Starry Sky student, I am really humiliated to be a.s.sociated with you—-" Li Muyang said angrily.

Huang Huang felt like he was on the verge of tears.

This was their line. They were ashamed to be a.s.sociated with someone like him.

Che——

Huang Huang again pulled out his sword.

"I don't care who you are, I don't care what you say" He hissed, pointing the blade of the sword at Li Muyang's chest. Get out of my way and give me back the Illuminating dragon wall——or else you'll end up like that b.a.s.t.a.r.d."

"I'd rather smash it than put it in your hand." When Li Muyang spoke, he turned and tried to fetch the Illuminating dragon wall.

The Illuminating dragon wall was gone.

Li Muyang blinked again, realising that it really had disappeared.

Zhang An-an was tightly gripping onto it, even till death, Zhang An-an had not let go.

"What happened?" Li Muyang asked loudly.

Huang Huang was more anxious.

They wasted so much time, and had chased Zhang An-an all the way to here to kill him. Now was the time for them to harvest the results, but the Illuminating dragon wall had disappeared.

His first reaction was that Li Muyang and Qiandu had secretly taken the treasure away, and with a wide sweep of his sword he roared, "Brothers, surround these two. If they do not give the Illuminating Dragon wall back, today is the day of their death."

Chapter 301: Want it? Want!

Li Muyang, Qiandu and Lin Canghai had set an example to the others, 'fearlessly' jumping into the weak water.

Tie Muxin blindly believed in Li Muyang, once Li Muyang leapt into the water, he also dragged Cai Pa to jump in with him.

Lu Qiji encountered a pack of moon wolf on her way, so was a little later. When she learned that Li Muyang and others had entered, without any delay she jumped into the lake. She did not even take a glance at the people around, which made the boys that were amazed at her beauty and were still thinking about how to approach her was extremely disappointed.

After a brief silence, someone started to follow into the water. Later, there were more and more people entering the water, everyone was more and more brave.

When no one went in, n.o.body dared to be the first one to go in.

But as more people went in, these people were worried that they would lag behind. So they scrambled over each other to jump into the weak water.

Of course, Lu Qiji was not aware of what happened after, and also did not care.

For her, an old monster who had been living for tens of thousands of years, there was only one thing that was worth her paying attention to: the reincarnation of the black dragon.

Her eyes were only for Li Muyang. Or, the Li Muyang who had fused with the tear of the Dragon King.

She was not excited by the wonders of the water illusion, nor frightened by the various vipers and fierce beasts that pounced over from time to time.

She killed whatever that came at her. Whether it was a huge creature or a little creature, she baked it with fire.

She didn't care about it anyway.

She pa.s.sed through the Mountain of flames and through the forest of thistles and thorns. She went past the valley of beasts, and even through the cave of man-eating ants.

Her footsteps never stopped, nothing was worth her staying for even a moment for.

As for items that people constantly fought over such as the immortal thorn bird of the forest of thistles and thorns, the gall bladder of the Saliva beast of the Beast Valley, and the crown of the Ant King, as well as the various treasures in the dragon palace including the Illuminating dragon wall, which she was the first to discover——

None of those appealed to her.

If she wanted, she would have better.

Those are already rare, irreplaceable treasured objects of the world.

It was not until she saw a snow-white beast floating in the air that her eyes gave off a strange glow.

She didn't expect to meet it.

Does it mean that this was fate?

Lu Qiji slowly moved closer to the little white beast, the small beast also noticed her, stared at her with its huge eyes like a curious baby.

Lu Qiji felt that she should smile, because a smile will make her look not as aggressive.

So, her lips were curved upwards, into a charming smile that was enough to make all living things go crazy.

The snow white beast, as though was attracted by Lu Qiji's beauty, blinked several times and suddenly turned upside down.

The sound of cras.h.i.+ng thunder——

Lu Qiji heard a voice that could melt frost, and her cold heart unexpectedly became warm.

With just one glance, she developed a fondness for the little white beast.

Her footsteps became lighter, worried that any sudden movement would make it run away.

Maybe it was because the look on her face was too funny when she was walking quietly on tiptoe, the little beast was grinning and giggling.

The voice was crisp and sweet, like that of a newborn baby.

Lu Qiji did not want to wait, reached out to grab it.

She caught it and touched its skin.

Smooth and soft, the feel was beautiful.

However, when Lu Qiji unfolded her hands to reveal her palm, there were only water stains on her palm. The snow-white beast was still floating across the air, chuckling at Lu Qiji.

Lu Qiji knew that, there was no way the palm could capture such a divine beast.

So, a red ball of light emerged on her palm. The red ball was rolling up and down, producing sizzling noises.

Lu Qiji flicked her fingers, when the red light ball darted towards the snow-white beast.

The light ball exploded, forming into a huge red net, and curled around in the direction of the little white beast.

The white beast sensed danger, and suddenly flashed away into the distance.

Lu Qiji did not stop for a moment, immediately began to chase after the snow beast beast.

She had tried tens of thousands of years ago, but never had the chance make it hers.

This was a rare chance, she obviously did not want to lose it again.

"Giggle——"

The snow-white beast was giggling while fleeing, and looked really stupid and adorable.

Lu Qiji although was anxious to capture it, she was not at all angry. She almost laughed out loud.

The snow-white beast was fluttering in the air, while Lu Qiji was wildly chasing after it.

Such a scene was so strange that it naturally attracted the attention of others.

"Strange, why are they running?"

"It seems like she's chasing something, that woman is that beauty we saw at the edge of the weak water——"

"So beautiful, let's follow and see, maybe she's in danger and we can help her, that would bring us closer."

Tie Muxin and Cai Pa were investigating the surroundings, when they noticed a little white beast running past them.

Then Lu Qiji shot past them, and before they had time to open their mouths to shout, they saw a number of figures chasing after her.

"Let's follow." As Tie Muxin spoke, he had broke into a run.

Cai Pa quickly followed, saying: "What are we chasing?"

"I don't know." Tie Muxin said. "Everybody is running, there must be some treasure ahead. Maybe us two would get it?"

"Childish." Li Muyang thought to himself.

Since I dared come back, do you think I would be afraid of you. Although you have the upper hand in numbers, I have Qiandu. Qiandu herself can win against all of you.

These people's movements were very strange and fast, before Huang Huang's voice fell, they had quickly formed an encirclement.

Li Muyang and Qiandu were surrounded in the middle, Li Muyang was not afraid of fighting, but he was feeling very gloomy.

Where is the Illuminating dragon wall?

If someone had took it and shone it at him, wouldn't that be a huge problem?

"Giggle——"

Suddenly there was the laughter of a little child.

Li Muyang twisted around and saw the white beast fluttering in the air and giggling non-stop, its two small paws were holding onto a snow-white jade wall. It was the Illuminating dragon wall that they were looking for.

Li Muyang had thought that the little beast had disappeared, and was upset for a good while.

Now that the little beast reappeared in front of him, he felt surprised like he was reunited with something precious that he had lost a long time ago.

He waved to the little beast and said happily, "s...o...b..ll, come, come to me——"

s...o...b..ll was the name that Li Muyang gave the little beast, because it looked like a little s...o...b..ll to him at first sight.

The little beast did not go, and giggled at Li Muyang.

It lifted the Illuminating dragon wall and shone it at Li Muyang, when it saw what the mirror of the Illuminating dragon wall revealed, its eyes grew wide with fear, panic etched on its face, and the jade wall was suddenly dropped to the ground.

Chen Jun was the most agile, he was already carefully watching the beast the moment it appeared. Seeing the Illuminating dragon wall was suddenly dropped, his body immediately flashed away, rus.h.i.+ng over to catch it at lightning speed.

He was the person nearest to the jade wall and the fastest-reacting person.

The jade wall was within reach, and his middle finger was touching the corner of the jade wall.

He stretched open his hand, wrapping his fingers around the jade wall.

His face lit up with joy.

"It's mine. This jade wall is finally mine." Chen Jun's face was full of excitement.

Cha——

A white glow flashed across.

He felt a strange sensation in his body.

He had difficulty in controlling his arm, and he found that his hand was getting farther away from himself.

Pa!

The arm fell into a beautiful hand, which was white and soft, smoother and more beautiful than the jade wall.

The beautiful hand forced his hand open and took away the jade wall that belonged to him.

It was not until this moment that Chen Jun felt a violent sensation of pain.

His arm, which went to s.n.a.t.c.h the jade wall, was cut off from his body.

The pain spread to the brain, then all over the body. Several areas of his body were beginning to twitch.

The severed arm was spraying out blood like red rain.

Chen Jun stared at the beautiful woman, shouting angrily: "What gives you the right——"

He couldn't continue his sentence.

What gives you the right?

This land of illusion is a world where the weak are prey to the strong, just like how he could kill other people without the slightest hesitation, why can't others do the same to him?

When Lu Qiji chopped off Chen Jun's arm, the people that were following her began to arrive one after another.

There were more and more people, the foot of the mountain became the gathering place for students of Starry Sky Academy.

Li Muyang looked at Lu Qiji, the line of sight of Lu Qiji was also on him.

"Want it?" Lu Qiji lifted up the jade wall and said to Li Muyang.

"Want." Li Muyang said aloud.

So, Lu Qiji threw the jade wall towards Li Muyang.

Li Muyang caught it at once, and hid it into his pocket.

The crowd was speechless and staring in bewilderment.

This incredibly beautiful purple hair woman, in order to s.n.a.t.c.h the Illuminating dragon wall, cut off someone's arm.

In the end, that man just said the word 'want' and she threw it over to him without the slightest hesitation.

That was the Illuminating Dragon Wall, the Illuminating dragon wall that has a set of dragon clan cultivation method on it. Those that acquire this cultivation method would possibly become famous across the Starry Sky——what is the relations.h.i.+p between that woman and that boy?

Chen Jun felt like weeping but failed to shed a tear.

She chopped off his arm and s.n.a.t.c.hed away his item, then with one sentence from another man, no two words and he took it away.

Did they need to be so affectionate?

Qiandu looked at Li Muyang, then at Lu Qiji, seemingly deep in thought.

She finally turned to Li Muyang and said in a low tone: "I thought I was the only one who knew the secret."

Chapter 302: There is no justice!

In the eyes of the students of the Dragon Slayer major, the relations.h.i.+p between Li Muyang and Lu Qiji was very bad. Several times in cla.s.s, even the other students and teachers were involved in the dispute between the two. Why was the relations.h.i.+p between Chu Xun and Lin Canghai so tense, because they were the supporters of these two people?

Now Lu Qiji unhesitatingly chopped off someone's arm and s.n.a.t.c.hed the Illuminating Dragon Wall, and because Li Muyang said the word 'want' she threw it over to him. Even with Qiandu's family background, the Illuminating dragon wall that contained a set of cultivation method of the Dragon Clan was a piece of rare treasure. Her family would find ways to take possession of it no matter the cost.

But Lu Qiji gifted away such a magical object, was there something fishy?

An ordinary people, would just had thought that Li Muyang and Lu Qiji had became close. But Qiandu was not an ordinary person, she is attentive and observant, and think deeply and long term. From Lu Qiji's abnormal reaction she knew what it meant.

Lu Qiji knew that Li Muyang was a dragon.

And she knew that Li Muyang was a dragon before her.

Then, Lu Qiji was a person worth investigating.

Li Muyang and her had never gotten along, and were always in conflict with each other. But when she knew that Li Muyang was a dragon, she did not expose his secret or threaten him, but tried to help him keep it a secret.

So, who is Lu Qiji? What was her purpose of doing so?

"I thought I was the only one who knew the secret." Qiandu softly said, jealousy in her tone.

A woman like Qiandu would also be jealous? Li Muyang couldn't believe his ears.

Of course, there was no way Li Muyang could answer this question.

He couldn't expose Lu Qiji's ident.i.ty, this was their agreement.

He didn't even want to talk about the fact that he was a dragon, and he thought that as long as hid it deep inside he could pretend that nothing had happened.

Li Muyang caught the Illuminating dragon wall, and immediately placed it in his bosom.

Although he was also very curious whether this thing was effective, whether it could really determine he is a dragon or not——He should secretly investigate himself. After all, before when he was dark and ugly, he also liked to look in the mirror in public but was afraid that Li s.h.i.+nian would make fun of him.

"Thank you." Li Muyang smiled.  

Lu Qiji did not say a word, just expectantly looked at the little white beat that was hovering in the air and staring in shock at Li Muyang.

Lu Qiji really like this little thing, wanted to hold it in her own arms. But it was too mischievous, slippery, and fast as lightning. It was hard to catch it.

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, give me the Illuminating Dragon wall. Otherwise, don't blame me." "

"That belong to us, don't think of taking it."

"Give the Illuminating dragon wall back to us, and we are still schoolmates. If not, then the friends.h.i.+p between schoolmates will be shattered."——

Watching Li Muyang take the Illuminating Dragon wall and put into his pockets, Huang Huang and the others were obviously extremely dissatisfied.

When the other students that just arrived heard that a rare treasure like the Illuminating dragon wall had appeared, they stared at Li Muyang's pockets with their eyes gleaming.

A set of cultivation method of the dragon clan, may not be tempting to the immortal Phoenix a dragon. But this kind of treasure, if put in the outside world, would cause everyone to fight to death over it.

At this moment, murderous intent was gleaming in Huang Huang's eyes. In order to acquire the Illuminating dragon wall they chased and killed Zhang An-an, but now a Li Muyang came out. One could imagine the indignation and frustration they were feeling.

His eyes were crimson red, when he held out his hand and almost roared out in anger, "Give it to me."

"Want it?" Li Muyang asked.  

"Give it."

"No." Li Muyang said.

"You want to die?"  

Li Muyang shook his head and sighed. "I am doing this for your sake. You should all know about the saying 'A man's wealth is his own ruin by causing other's greed'. There are six of you, but there is only one dragon wall. If the jade wall is in your hands, how do you distribute it? If the distribution is uneven, wouldn't you kill one another?"

Huang Huang smiled grimly, "You can't divide our brothers with this kind of preposterous argument. The jade wall contain a set of Dragon Clan cultivation skill, we only need to have the jade wall and then come together to examine it. As to how much is understood, it depends on the individual talent. No one can be blamed."

"Exactly. We can examine it together, one jade wall is enough."

"If brothers unite as one, their strength is powerful enough to cut metal. We understand this. "——

Li Muyang was taken aback for a brief moment, then said: "That's a good plan. I didn't think of it before."

He thought to himself, in ancient times there was a story of  two peaches killing three scholars. The three people could not divide two peaches, so they slaughtered each other and died.

Unfortunately, the jade wall was not a peach, these guys won't be able divide it, and have to kill each other.

Obviously, those three scholars were gluttons.

Huang hand pointed the blade of his sword at Li Muyang's chest, "Give us the Illuminating dragon wall. We go our own way, and never intersect. Otherwise, leave your life here today."

"I won't give you it." Li Muyang stated. You broke into my house, stole the treasure of my Dragon Clan, and so arrogantly tell me to hand it back. Isn't that going too far? "Talents and treasure, are reserved for the capable. Now that the Illuminating dragon wall is in my hand, that proves that I am a talented man. Why do you say it's yours?"

"We took it from Zhang An-an."

"I know, I know. You stole the Illuminating Dragon wall, so you killed your fellow schoolmates." Li Muyang shouted loudly, letting people know about the evil deeds of Huang Huang and others. "As a result, the Illuminating dragon wall was taken away by an animal, then my friend Lu Qiji took it, and now she gave it to me——if I give it to you, it that not disrespectful?"

"Brother Huang, don't waste time with him? Come on, guys."

"Let's get rid of him, with his life gone, let's see how he can protect the Illuminating dragon wall."——

Che che che——  

Huang Huang and the others drew their sword, one after another, preparing to kill him.

The magic flute in Qiandu's hands was turning into a dark green colour, gathering boundless strong qi.

Lu Qiji did not say a word, clasped her sword and stood at the other side of Li Muyang.

The woman just now chopped off one of Chen Jun's arms, even before Chen Jun could react. She was only standing to one side, but her presence sent chills down everyone's spine. As though if they were careless for a moment she would chop off something of theirs.

Tie Muxin forced his way through the crowd and said chuckling: "Fighting is so fun, how can I Tie Muxin not be here? Someone is bullying my brother, I will not allow it."

When the tall and mighty-looking Tie Muxin stood next to Li Muyang, he brought a very strong oppressive feeling.

Tie Muxin stepped out, Cai Pa naturally followed.

These two were like two towers, one left and one right, surrounding and protecting Li Muyang.

With Qiandu, Lu Qiji, Tie Muxin and Cai Pa joining his side, the situation suddenly changed greatly.

Five against six, the advantage in numbers that the other side had was gone all of a sudden.

Moreover, based on character, appearance, elegance, aura and the ratio of men and women, Li Muyang's side occupied the upper hand.

If Tie Muxin had not lowered the average score of the whole team, Li Muyang's Dragon Slayer team could have been the first idol group of the divine continent.

Li Muyang was staring at Huang Huang like he had nothing to fear. "Anyway, I do not want to fight. Of course, if you want to fight, I am willing to entertain you."

Huang Huang clenched his teeth, the muscles on his face were constantly twitching.

However, he could not thrust out his sword.

In a battle, the most important thing was the confidence of victory.

Before the two sides had yet to fight, he felt that he might not have any advantage.

Moreover, he noticed that there were anger and fear in the eyes of his teammates. While their enemies over there, each one of them was full confidence.

Was it necessary to fight this battle?

However, if he did not fight, then the Illuminating dragon wall would belong to Li Muyang. He had wasted so much time and so much energy. And he now had to bear the infamy of killing his schoolmates.

What did Li Muyang do?

He did nothing but hid the Illuminating dragon wall in his pocket.

Constantly comparing oneself to others will only make one angry.

Che!

Huang Huang inserted his sword back into its sheath, scowling at Li Muyang, as he grumbled: "Obstructing someone get rich and s.n.a.t.c.hing a person's treasure, is like killing their parents. I will remember this, and you will repay this. If I cannot take this revenge, then I do not deserve to be called a man."

Once Huang Huang finished speaking, turned, and flew toward the tall forest in the distance.

Huang Huang's little friends didn't expect him to leave so abruptly.

The person in charge had ran away, even if they wanted to get the Illuminating dragon wall back, they were incapable of doing so.

They glanced at one another, then like Huang Huang, abruptly turned around and darted off, chasing after Huang Huang at lightning speed.

"He ran away after saying those words?" Li Muyang angrily said. Do these people have no sense of shame? You spat so much saliva at someone else's face, but when others are trying to return a mouthful of saliva, you had already fled, and that person who wanted to fight back was almost choked to death by the thick phlegm in their mouth. "Is there any justice in this world?"

Chapter 303: Brother and sister reunion!

Although he could not strike back at Huang Huang now, but with the Illuminating Dragon Wall in his hands it more or less lessened his anger.

After all, no one could s.h.i.+ne on him and identify as a dragon, right?

Li Muyang patted Tie Muxin's shoulder and asked aloud, "Why are you here?"

Tie Muxin grinned, pointing to Lu Qiji. "I saw her chasing a small animal, and I had nothing to do so followed her."

Li Muyang looked to Lu Qiji, realising that Lu Qiji was not paying attention to him. Her line of sight was fixed on the snow white beast that was fluttering about in the air not that far away and was not willing to come closer.

That was the s...o...b..ll that Li Muyang was fond of.

Li Muyang walked over to where Lu Qiji was, saying in a low voice: "I saw it first."

Lu Qiji did not even glance at Li Muyang, her gaze was still on s...o...b..ll, when she said in a biting-cold voice: "Talents and treasure, are reserved for the capable. Whoever gets it first can have it."

"I've already given it a name. It's called s...o...b..ll."

"When it's in my hand, I can continue to call it s...o...b..ll."

Lu Qiji no longer paid any attention to Li Muyang, slowly moving closer to the snow-white beast.

Li Muyang was not going to stand still and let his little s...o...b..ll get s.n.a.t.c.h away. He waved to s...o...b..ll, trying to please it. "s...o...b..ll, come her, I'll give you something delicious to eat."

s...o...b..ll looked more afraid of Li Muyang, seeing that Li Muyang was waving to itself, not only did it not come closer, but pursed its mouth and moved several metres back.

Tie Muxin wrapped his arm around Li Muyang's shoulder, whispering, "What is that thing? It looks good but seems useless. Women like cats and dogs, and you like this? If you like this sort of thing, when I return to the Gra.s.slands I will bring you a pink chinchilla, its much better than this little transparent thing."

Li Muyang nodded. "Well, give me a few more, I can gift it to people."

Tie Muxin suddenly raised his voice "that is the sacred creature of the gra.s.sland, it only comes by with luck. It's much rarer than the little transparent thing that you fancy. It's not easy to find one, and you want a few of them?"

"Fine, fine, fine, just one then." Li Muyang did not want to hear Tie Muxin chattering non-stop. s...o...b..ll was almost s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Lu Qiji, he must do something.

Lu Qiji slowly moved closer, a black ball of light surfacing on her palm.

By the time s...o...b..ll was closer, the black ball of light was released from her hand out, hurtling towards its little transparent head.

The little transparent creature, as though had not sensed danger coming, was still furtively glancing over at Li Muyang and then quickly looking away, repeatedly. It seemed to have infinite curiosity about Li Muyang, and also a great fear.

"Tie Muxin——" Li Muyang suddenly screamed.

s...o...b..ll, startled by the voice of Li Muyang, thought that he would make some movements, immediately turned and fled.

At the same time, the black ball of light abruptly exploded, changing into a huge black net. The air, elements of water, and even the weeds and stones on the ground, as long as were within the area covered by the big net, were all pulled towards the net, and unable to escape.

Because s...o...b..ll received an advanced warning from Li Muyang, just before the black light ball exploded it had already escaped.

Lu Qiji's net failed once again.

Lu Qiji scowled at Li Muyang. "Li Muyang, what are you doing?"

"I didn't do anything." Li Muyang replied with an expressionless face. "I just shouted Tie Muxin's name, I have to talk to him about something."

"What are you going to talk to me about?" Tie Muxin came over with a bewildered look on his face, asking aloud. Li Muyang suddenly shouted his name and gave him a fright. He thought something had suddenly struck them.

"I forgot." Li Muyang said.

Lu Qiji knew that Li Muyang was evading responsibility, though there was nothing she could do.

"If I can't have it, you also don't think of getting it." Lu Qiji stated. She thought to herself: I will follow you today. If I cannot get the heart of the weak water, you also won't have the heart of weak water. When I was about to catch it, you ruined it. Do you think I won't prevent you from capturing it?

The snow-white ball came to a stop in the far distance, pouted and looked at Lu Qiji.

It did not understand that why people want to hurt it when it was so cute?

Ga Ga Ga—

At this moment, the wailing of a baby bird suddenly came.

Li Muyang and Qiandu exchanged a glance at each other, and kept a sharp lookout

Li Muyang clenched the Understand Heaven Sword tight, and the Magic Music flute in Qiandu's hand was flas.h.i.+ng out green light again.

Chong Diao, the Chong Diao that took Lin Canghai from Li Muyang and Qiandu.

"Everybody, on your guard." Li Muyang warned. "That is one of the ten most vicious beasts of the divine continent. It's fast, and can be invisible. Be careful not to be caught by it."

Worried that everyone did not realise the danger of this beast, Li Muyang then added, "Lin Canghai was taken away by this fierce beast."

"What? Lin Canghai was taken by it?" Tie Muxin and Cai Pa turned pale with fear. They and Lin Canghai were students of the Dragon Slayer cla.s.s, so they were fully aware of Lin Canghai's strength. The cultivation of Chu Xun was not weak, but Lin Canghai was able to forcibly take his sword away empty-handed. From this it was clear that his strength had reached what sort of terrifying stage.

A skilled master like Lin Canghai was captured by the Chong Diao, then with his large body size he would be an obvious target.

Tie Muxin's manner changed from apathetic to sudden keen interest, concentrated his attention and held his breath, creating a layer of yellow qi around body. There were sparks around Cai Pa's whip, as she unblinkingly stared at the sky, like she was prepared to launch a deadly blow at the enemy anytime.

When the others heard that that fierce bird took someone away, they all prepared their weapons ready to fight.

What was strange was that, they could only hear the sound of the Chong Diao, but did not see it flying down to hurt people.

It was circling in between the dark clouds and thick fog, its figure constantly appearing and disappearing.

Li Muyang and Qiandu had mixed feelings about this. They were glad that the Chong Diao appeared again, since it indicated that Lin Canghai was in this vicinity. They were also worried that Lin Canghai had died tragically already.

As long as they couldn't find Lin Canghai, they would remain optimistic that he was alive. But if Lin Canghai's body was found, they would lose all hope.

Qiandu was standing next to Li Muyang, saying, "I'll go up and see."

As she was speaking, she was activating the gla.s.s mirror ready to go up the mountain to find Lin Canghai alone.

"Didn't we say we would go up the mountain together. If we can't find Lin Canghai, we'll keep looking for him." Li Muyang interrupted.

After that, he followed her up the mountain.

GA GA——

The sound of Chong Diao was getting closer, the sky was shrouded with dense black clouds, and a huge shadow swooped down from the black clouds.

Li Muyang and Qiandu immediately twisted around and returned, standing together with everyone ready to greet the enemy.

Unexpectedly, the Chong Diao seemed afraid of Li Muyang.

It did not go near the Starry Sky students who were gathered together, but stopped on a huge rock not far away.

When enemies come face to face, their eyes are blazing with hatred.

Chong Diao glared ferociously at Li Muyang, just now it was him that jumped onto his body, pulled out of the spikes on his back and repeatedly stabbed him. If it had not fled quickly, it would have been killed by Li Muyang.

Li Muyang's eyes s.h.i.+fted over to the back of the Chong Diao.

On the back of the Chong Diao was a man sitting astride.

A savage with dishevelled hair.

Could it be that this man is the master of the Chong Diao? If not, how could a vicious bird like it tolerate others casually riding on its back?

Moreover, Li Muyang could see that the Chong Diao was respectful and obedient in front of this person, like it had been tamed.

When he saw this man, Li Muyang had made up his mind.

He couldn't reason with a bird, but he could reason with a human.

If this person really was the master of the Chong Diao, perhaps Lin Canghai was still alive.

Li Muyang was thinking about how to communicate with this person, when a pretty teenager in white jumped down from behind the tall savage. His wide smile seemed to light up the dark night.

"Li Muyang, Qiandu——" Lin Canghai greeted excitedly. "I'm all right. I'm alive."

"Lin Canghai." Li Muyang was ecstatic. "Canghai, you're okay? They didn't hurt you?"

Qiandu's eyes were red with tears, seeing that Lin Canghai was safe and sound, it was as though the weight has been lifted off her mind. There were thousands and thousands of words in her mind, but she did not know what to say.

Lin Canghai sprinted over to Li Muyang and Qiandu, giving Li Muyang a tight hug.

Li Muyang patted Lin Canghai on his shoulder, smiled and said: "We thought you have been eaten by the bird."

"I'm so good-looking, the bird wouldn't eat me. If I got eaten, you would be very upset, right?"

"How would I? If you get eaten, I'll be the most handsome person in Starry Sky Academy." Li Muyang laughed. "Only you are qualified to be my opponent."

"Even if I come back, you are still the most handsome boy of Starry Sky." Lin Canghai stated.

After they exchanged hugs, Lin Canghai went over to Qiandu.

He lowered his head to Qiandu, performing the standard etiquette of a n.o.ble, and said in a low voice, "I'm back."

Qiandu threw her arms around him and held him tightly.

Lin Canghai was taken aback for a moment, before breaking into a bright smile.

When they entered the school, they had been concealing their ident.i.ties from the outside world. No one even knew what was Qiandu's family name.

After this separation of life and death, she was finally willing to admit that he was her younger brother in front of her cla.s.smates.

"Big sister——" Lin Canghai exclaimed joyfully.

Chapter 304: Savage behaves shockingly!

Now that Lin Canghai had safely returned, Li Muyang and Qiandu were ecstatic.

They were prepared to bring him back no matter whether he was dead or alive, but they did not expect that such a difficult matter would be so easily solved.

Not only did the Chong Diao not eat Lin Canghai, he was alive and well, and not wounded at all——When they were hugging, Li Muyang could even smell a strong aroma of barbecue from his body.

Did the Chong Diao also invite him to have a meal with it?

Li Muyang thought that this was because he has the divine dragon protecting him, and luck was on his side.

Li Muyang gave a cupped fist salute to the Savage that was sitting astride the Chong Diao. "What is Senior's name?"

Savage glanced at Li Muyang, saying: "A Savage of a cave, I've long forgotten my name."

"Skilled masters don't like remembering their own name." Li Muyang smiled. "Thank you for saving my friend Canghai. Your kindness, I don't know how to repay you. If Senior has any requests, we will try our best to repay you."

"I didn't save him." Savage stated. "I just didn't kill him."

Li Muyang seriously pondered for a moment; this really was the truth.

Lin Canghai did not provoke anyone on the way, but he was taken away by the Chong Diao. In order to find Lin Canghai, how much had they suffered and how tired were they? If he did not have the ability to transform into a dragon, he most likely would had been killed by the Changbai seven disgraces, and it would had been worst for Qiandu, almost impossible to imagine.

In the final a.n.a.lysis, it was the Savage's fault.

Li Muyang cupped one hand in the other, saying: "Since Senior said so, then we are even."

Savage paid no attention to Li Muyang, as though he had found a new world, his eyes lit up when he saw the Snow-white ball, saying with a trembling voice, "I knew it is here, I knew it has been here all along——I've waited so many years, it has finally appeared."

Li Muyang's eyes were flickering back and forth between the direction of the Savage's gaze and the excited expression on his face. He knew the situation was bad, how come everyone wants to have his little s...o...b..ll? What about the traditional rules of first come first serve?

When Lin Canghai heard what the Savage said he asked aloud: "Brother, what did you say? Wait? What did you wait for?"

"The heart of the weak water." Savage said aloud. "I had sensed that the water elements were suddenly crowding together, and that there were a lot of water elements gathering over here. I knew it must have came here. I didn't imagine I would be right."

There were tears sliding down the man's face. He had came for this treasured object, he had invested too much in it, and waited too long for it.

But, all these years, he had not even caught a glimpse of the shadow of that heart of the weak water. He had thought that he would never see it in his whole life, and then he would die in the wilderness and never have any connection with anything in the world.

Today, he finally had the chance to see its true face.

"What? That is the heart of the weak water?"

"Heavens, a treasured object like the heart of the weak water heart really exists in the world? Isn't it just a legend?"

"That little animal is the heart of the weak water, we must find a way to s.n.a.t.c.h it——whoever has it, will be able to become a strong person of Starry Sky——"——

There was a long clamour of discussion, evidently everyone was shocked by the news that they just heard.

Although no one had seen it before, everyone should have heard of its famous name. Because the heart of the weak water was too famous.

Even Li Muyang was shocked by the savage's words for a moment, staring in wide-eyed astonishment at s...o...b..ll, asking in a tone of disbelief: "You mean that little guy——is the heart of the weak water? The heart of the weak water is an animal?"

During a Dragon Slayer lesson, Li Muyang had heard from Yang Xiaohu about the origin of the heart of the weak water. It was said to be a rare treasured object of the world, that has been lost for tens of thousands of years, and there was no one in the world that has seen its true face.

Moreover, it's the heart of the weak water. The question what is the heart of the water itself was an extremely difficult question to answer.

Li Muyang had never expected the heart of weak water to be an animal, and even more did not expect it to be the little s...o...b..ll that was in front of the Gla.s.s Mirror.

If he had known that it was the heart of weak water earlier, Li Muyang would had drag it into the gla.s.s mirror to protect it from being hurt——

Li Muyang and Qiandu looked at each other, feeling ridiculous.

If what the savage said was true, they knew very clearly what great opportunity they had missed.

At that time, s...o...b..ll should have belonged to both of them.

In a lifetime, sometimes one just needs a chance to be able to rise.

Of course, you have to grab the chance.

In Lu Qiji's eyes, there were purple flames blazing, of course, that glow only flashed across.

She was glaring at the savage with hostility, and since the he knew the origin of the little transparent beast, then he was a potential enemy of her.

In any case, Lu Qiji would not so easily give away a treasured object like the heart of weak water to other people.

Not even to Li Muyang.

She would rather give it to anyone but Li Muyang.

Water is the soul of all living things, and no one knew how much power would erupt from the integration of the Dragon King's reincarnation and the heart of the weak water.

Even as a descendant of an immortal race, Phoenix was absolutely afraid to take such a risk.

"It is an intangible state, but can transform into a tangible body" Savage said in a low voice, staring fiercely at little s...o...b..ll. "Have you not noticed? The water elements around it are the most concentrated, and it blends in with the other elements of water, and it does not need any external force or wings to fly freely."

Li Muyang nodded. "I only noticed it now."

Before he only had the desire to save Lin Canghai, so he and Qiandu moved as fast as they could. How would they notice the abnormality around s...o...b..ll?

Besides, if they had realised at that time, you people wouldn't even have the chance of seeing it?

Just then, a boy dressed in white suddenly darted over to s...o...b..ll.

Who strikes first gains the advantage. He needed to take the heart of weak water first when everyone was not paying attention.

Unfortunately, his idea was too stupid.

After everyone knew that the little white ball was the heart of weak water, each and every pair of eyes were lit up, firmly fixed on s...o...b..ll. How would they let anyone have a head start?

His body had barely moved, when more than tens figures from all directions simultaneously pounced toward the snow-white ball.

Everyone was like wolves, itching to swallow s...o...b..ll.

GA——

The Chong Diao shrieked, its huge wings suddenly unfolded wide.

Its speed was like lightning, swift and violent, shooting towards s...o...b..ll.

The Chong Diao's enormous body was blocking in front of s...o...b..ll, those that had an ulterior motive had no way of coming close to s...o...b..ll.

As a result, more than ten figures wielding a sword came charging toward the Chong Diao.

To steal the heart of weak water, they must get rid of this Chong Diao.

GA GA——

The Chong Diao uttered a prolonged shriek, unfolded its wings and began beating the air, immediately whipping up a gust of strong wind. Countless feathers, like countless sharp arrows, were launching an undifferentiated attack on the people.

The people around swung their swords, ducking and turning, in order to avoid getting hit by the countless feathers.

The Chong Diao was too ferocious, which made those Starry Sky students, who wholeheartedly wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the heart of the weak water, more vigilant.

They took several steps back, preparing for the second round of attack.

Savage was still sitting astride the Chong Diao, looking at the foolish Starry Sky students and said: "We study under the same teacher in the same school, I do not have the heart to attack you. You have to retreat, this is the treasured object that I have been waiting so many years for. I must have it."

The savage was so pompous.

Moreover he acted pompously under the situation where they were not aware of his strength at all.

So, the Starry Sky students that were pushed back by the Chong Diao's feather arrows were not satisfied at all.

"What study under the same teacher in the same school? Do people like you deserve to be a student of Starry Sky?" "

"Exactly. What do you mean the heart of weak water heart is a treasured object you've been waiting so many years for. I can also say that I have been waiting for it my entire life."

"Whoever takes it first can have it, don't talk nonsense."——

The majority of the students of Starry Sky was full of pride, and had the mindset that they are the best in the world. But now the Savage was bluntly telling them to go away, would they comply so easily?

The students retorted one after another, and many were looking at the savage with a hostile glare.

They planned to get rid of that man and the bird first, and then decide how to fight over the heart of weak water.

Of course, because everyone was interested in the heart of weak water, they did not want to waste too much time on the savage.

Li Muyang did not act rashly.

Firstly, he knew that the spirit of the weak water was not an ordinary object, and could not be captured so easily.

Secondly, he knew that the Savage was not an ordinary person, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for him to tame the Chong Diao, one of the fiercest beast of the divine continent.

Thirdly, if they were really to fight, wouldn't the heart of the weak water be his?

He glared at Lu Qiji warily, thinking to himself: "This woman must have known the ident.i.ty of s...o...b..ll, so she wanted to have it. If I obtained the spirit of weak water, she would never be able to kill me?"

"Why bother?" Savage said regretfully.

His sight s.h.i.+fted again to the spirit of weak water. "If it was other treasures, I would not fight against you. But if it is that, I must fight."

"Who do not know that the spirit of the weak water is one of the top divine objects listed in [Treasured objects]. You want it, do you think other people do not want it?" Someone sneered.

"Brothers, let's work together to get rid of this savage——" Someone yelled out.

The person's proposal had received everyone's approval.

As a result, more than ten young men in white drew their sword one after another, preparing to come together to destroy the savage and his bird. 

"You overestimate yourselves." Savage uttered in a low voice.

Inside the black robe, was a palm stretching out.

A pitch-black, charcoal-like palm.

His palm was stained with soot and meat oil because he had just been roasting wild animals.

A white triangular ball of light was emerging on his palm. The light ball had just appeared, when the people around felt a threatening pressure and a strong airflow.

What was even more shocking was that the surrounding water elements were frantically being expelled away, the gra.s.s was withering instantly, and safflower suddenly died. A two-winged gra.s.shopper had just jumped up and became a dried-up carca.s.s when it landed.

"Withered Glory realm." Someone exclaimed. "This person had entered the Withered Glory realm."

Chapter 305: Higher stages of Withered Glory!

The Savage amazed the world with a single move.

There was only a white triangular ball in his hand, and before they had started the real battle, a natural extraordinary scene was appearing across the sky. Black clouds were rolling across, and the surrounding water elements were expelled away. As long as was within the range affected by the spiritual qi, the vegetation wilted, and flowers and leaves also withered. The lives of the small animals with weak vitality were instantly taken away, dying a sudden death.

Able to decide life and death with one thought, was the power of the Withered Glory realm.

Martial artists were divided into seven realms based on their strength: Empty Valley, High mountain, Free clouds, Withered Glory, Starry Sky, Astral Projection and Dragon Slayer.

Empty Valley is the foundation, and the High Mountains is the stairs. Those that were able to reach the Free Clouds were already very talented. It was very rare to see people in the Withered Glory realm, these people were either an important general that protects a region, the master of an influential family or the backbone of an important family. For example, Lu family's Lu Xingkong. With the strength of the Withered Glory realm he had supported the riches and honour of a tremendous family. Any enemies of the Lu Family, whenever they think of the Withered Glory master, they could not help hesitating and start to feel fearful.

And the reason that the Song Family of the West Wind Kingdom had been standing for tens of thousands of years and not fall, was because in each generation there would be a strong person of the Starry Sky emerging. It was for this reason that even the Kingdom's royal family wanted to be connected to the Song family through marriage and tie them firmly to their own chariot of benefit.

Martial artists of the Withered Glory were highly respected throughout the Kingdom. Even the Royal family would try to convince them to work for them, and the big influential families would not give up such a talent and try to recruit them.

But, a savage of the wilderness, was also a master of the Withered Glory realm?

Li Muyang stared at the savage in astonishment, before turning around to ask Lin Canghai, "Who is he? How can he be so powerful?"

"I don't know." Lin Canghai said dumbfounded. He was very clear what the strength of Withered Glory represents. "I know he is a senior of Starry Sky Academy, he entered the illusion of water before us——before I had naively thought I'd knock him out and run away."

"Luckily you didn't do such a stupid thing. Otherwise we seriously would not see you again." Li Muyang said in a shaky voice

Seeing that Savage revealed the strength of Withered Glory, Qiandu immediately flew over to Li Muyang and Lin Canghai. "Weak water spirit is a rare treasure, do we want to fight for it?"

"Naturally." Lin Canghai said unhesitatingly. "It's a treasured object lost for tens of thousands of years. I had always hoped to catch a glimpse of it, but we happened to run into on this trip. If we don’t fight it would fall into other people's hands. Are you willing to watch that happen?"

"If we gather all us strength, we might have a chance." Li Muyang whispered. He looked at the triangular ball of light the Savage's hand. "However, this savage is ultimately a big enemy. I have no idea how strong a Withered Glory master could be, do you know?"

As a trash that had never made any progress from the lower stages of the Empty Valley, in the face of a Withered Glory expert there was no chance for him to fight back. Unless he publicly transform into the dragon, but in that case——even if he obtained the heart of the weak water, it would only lead him to the path of death.

But Lu Qiji still had a cold, indifferent look on her face, not at all concerned about the appearance of the Heart of weak water or a Savage of the Withered Glory realm.

This older sister was a person who had seen and been through a lot, the scene in front had nothing worthy of being amazed about.

With her strength during her peak period, one fireball of hers could have extinguished a person of the Withered Glory realm and could kill more than 100 a day. And she would still have the time to soak in the hot spring up at Heavenly lake, and eat some golden scale sas.h.i.+mi at the Ice mountain……

The whip in Cai Pa's hands was blazing fiercely, restless and itching for some action.

Tie Muxin grabbed her arm, looking earnestly into Cai Pa's eyes and said: "Do you believe me?"

"Yes."

"Don't fight." Tie Muxin urged. "If it was other treasured object, I wouldn't stop you. I'd like to fight with you. But a treasured object like the heart of weak water heart, we must not fight for. Also we can't fight. Let alone whether we can obtain it, even if we do, we do not have the luck to enjoy it. We would very soon be killed by others. We can't defend a treasure like that."

Cai Pa was silent for a moment then replied, "You have a point.""

Tie Muxin was glancing over at the direction of Li Muyang, saying: "I have a hunch that Li Muyang may have a chance."

"He's not as strong as you or me." Cai Pa said in an unconvinced tone.

"That's right but——" Tie Muxin grinned, "But he was able to swim in the weak water. Have you forgetten what happened in the weak water?"

Cai Pa could not understand Tie Muxin's blind adoration of Li Muyang, such a man was not cute at all.

The triangular ball of light was still growing in size in the Savage's hand, and then slowly rose into the air, like a silvery triangular door had emerged in mid-air.

As the light ball was expanding, the aura of destruction was incessantly spreading.

Wherever it went, like a storm had swept past, everything was destroyed into pieces.

Savage calmly looked at the panic expression on the Starry Sky students' face, uttering in a low voice: "Everyone should be responsible for their choice. Whatever that choice is."

As he spoke, he suddenly clenched his fingers into a tight fist.

The triangular gate overhead was suddenly squeezed inward, then a loud noise shook the sky.

Boom——   

The triangular gate had exploded, turning into innumerable beams of white light that wildly spread across.

The Starry Sky students that crowded around ready to get rid of the Savage were unable to counterattack at all, and were swept into the high alt.i.tude, before dropped into a very remote place.

Qiandu promptly activated the gla.s.s mirror, protecting Li Muyang and Lin Canghai within, and was not affected by the attack of the strong wind.

Lu Qiji stood motionless in her original place. There was nothing strange except the violet glow in her eyes.

The martial arts that Tie Muxin cultivates emphasises on strength, and adding to this the savage's attack was not aimed at them, so Cai Pa and him were only blasted a little distance away. They lost balanced and fell to the ground.

Li Muyang could tell that the savage did not exert all his strength. Otherwise, the strong qi would have torn those people into pieces.

After this blow, those Starry Sky students that were yelling that they would get rid of the savage and the Chong Diao were suddenly all cleared away.

Even the gravel and flowers on the ground had vanished without a trace, and the giant rock that the Chong Diao was standing on just now was also flattened completely.

The water elements were gone and the air had also disappeared.

Standing in the center, Savage had formed a vacuum zone with a radius of several miles.

"Too powerful." Li Muyang exclaimed in astonishment. "Is this the power of the Withered Glory realm?"

"Withered Glory is the most tyrannical state that can be cultivated by a master of the human race. If one enters the Starry sky realm, they have entered into a half deity state." Qiandu whispered to Li Muyang. "This person has reached the higher stages of the Withered Glory realm, he can be considered one of the top masters in the entire West Wind Kingdom. I didn't think there would be such a strange person in the illusion."   

"Higher stages of the Withered Glory." Lin Canghai cried. "The Starry Sky realm is the next step. That is the extremely rare strong person of the Starry Sky in the divine continent——do we really want to fight with such person over the weak water spirit?"

"Must try." Li Muyang said in a low voiced. He wanted the weak water and even more wanted s...o...b..ll. Deep in his heart there was a strong desire to possess this little s...o...b..ll.

Savage had displayed his power with one move, even those Starry Sky students that were able to remain at the scene dared not rashly clash with him.

The transparent little beast was also impacted, its body tumbling upside down several times in the air.

But, like there was some sort of attractive force here, it did not run away immediately. Instead it looked at the Savage with an upset and fearful look. It did not understand why it was treated like that.

Also, the s...o...b..ll's was constantly spitting out bubbles. Everytime a bubble appeared, a great amount of water element was separated out from that bubble. One bubble became 10 bubbles, and 10 bubbles separated into 100 bubbles.

And the water elements that were pushed out were coming this way again. Very soon the water elements filled this vacuum zone once again.

The transparent little beast was living in a world full of water elements again, immediately becoming joyful and lively like before.

It then stared at Savage, and looked at Li Muyang, distinctly sensing the pressure.

Once there was pressure, it began to blow out bubbles again.

"Pfff——"

There were more and more bubbles in the area, and the number of water elements was more and more concentrated. It almost sealed off everyone.

Lin Canghai could evidently feel that it was much more difficult to breathe than before. "Senior Savage had mentioned that, when the heart of weak water sense danger, it would release more water elements. When one exerts strength on the water, the water would use the same amount of strength to fight against you. Too much water elements would cause the s.p.a.ce to burst and the entire water illusion would disappear. There is a possibility that we may disappear with the water elements and never get back out."

"I see." Li Muyang was pale with shock. "If we fight with the Savage, we would release more qi and cause great destructive to the illusion. In that case, the water elements would become more and more concentrated, and it would become more and more dangerous for us——Do we have to fight?"

"Fight." Qiandu and Lin Canghai responded in a resolute tone.

"This is its territory, it's best not to use force. We must outsmart it." Li Muyang shouted to the savage. "With love, and with care."

Savage stared blankly at Li Muyang, what is this guy talking about?

He lightly patted the Chong Diao on the back.

GA—

The Chong Diao shrieked, suddenly shot toward Little s...o...b..ll that was cheerfully spitting out bubble in mid-air.

The moment it notice the Chong Diao's attack, it blew out several bubbles at once, its four little legs fluttering at lightning speed, disorderly turned around and escaped into a distant place.

While fleeing there was still bubbles foaming at its mouth.

Li Muyang, Qiandu and Lin Canghai exchanged glances with one another, before shouting aloud, "Chase."

A group of people sped over to the place where the snow-white beast had fled off.

Chapter 306: True love is invincible!

Water has no form, s...o...b..ll could also change into any shape.

Under the savage's relentless chasing and attacks, it was sometimes squashed, flattened, and elongated, and accidentally knocked into a tree trunk or mountain wall, turning into splashes of water sliding downward.

When the droplets of water gathered back together on the ground, a new s...o...b..ll jumped back up in a daze, shook the crystal water droplets from its head, and began a new round of escaping.

Pff——

Pfff——

Pfff——

While fleeing, s...o...b..ll did not stop the blowing, spitting out colourful crystal bubbles after another.

Those bubbles were jellyfish that could rapidly split to create more sources of water elements.

In its efforts to counterattack, there were more and more water elements in the illusion, more and more concentrated. Everyone's breathing and action were beginning to be affected, breathing was much more difficult, and their running speed was slower than before.

As a master of the higher stages of the Withered Glory, and had the help of Chong Diao, whose speed was fast as lightning and an expert in concealing, Savage still had not succeeded and even until now, had made no progress. 。

There were countless times that s...o...b..ll was within reach, and several times he had held s...o...b..ll in his arms. But the little thing was too mischievous and too powerful, able to break free from his fingers or squeezing between the gaps.

Even though he had failure again and again, the savage still would not give up until he captured it and commanded the Chong Diao to follow s...o...b..ll.

s...o...b..ll was small and adorable, like a baby that had shrunk.

The Chong Diao was as large as a cow, moving like a big black monster.

The little one was running away in front, while the larger one was chasing closely behind. Anyone who sees s...o...b..ll would feel pity for it.

However, during the long chase, s...o...b..ll was not the slightest bit tired, but was stronger as the battle prolonged.

While the Chong Diao was getting more and more tired, its flying speed was slower than before. Its mouth was wide open panting, as if would soon be physically worn out.

The course of the battle between s...o...b..ll and the savage, was the course of events that Li Muyang and the others were watching.

Li Muyang and Lin Canghai, under the protection of Qiandu's gla.s.s mirror, were not at all affected by the concentrated water elements outside. Keeping a distance not too far or near from the savage, they were waiting for a chance to catch the savage off guard.

No one wanted the savage to succeed, not even Lin Canghai, who had received kindness from the savage. He did not want Savage to steal the heart of weak water.

They do not want anyone but themselves to have the heart of the weak water.

This was their reward.

The people of the Divine continent often say that: there is loyalty because the 'bargaining chips' for betrayal was not enough.

Obviously, the heart of weak water was enough. And there was not a treasure comparable to this bargaining chip on this divine continent.

Li Muyang did not want to provoke the savage, did not want to anger a strong person of the Withered Glory realm. If the savage gave up on chasing s...o...b..ll and instead concentrated his attention to deal with them, the consequences would be terrifying. Didn't he blast away more than 10 Starry Sky students with one of his palm attacks before?

A person who had lived alone for such a long time, who knows whether he had become a psycho or not?

Lu Qiji, not the slightest afraid of the power of a strong person of the Withered Glory realm, was running in front of Li Muyang and the other people. It was almost like she was running side by side with the savage. When the savage s.h.i.+fted left, she followed. When the savage moved to the right, she also followed to the right. When the Savage cut through mountains and pa.s.sed through forests, she followed cutting through mountains and pa.s.sing through the forests.

The Starry-Sky robe on her was clean and tidy, and without a speck of dust. She was not as unrestrained as Qiandu to only wear a piece of undergarment, and not as indecent as Li Muyang who was only wearing an outer robe and nothing inside.

While moving swiftly, her robe was fluttering and her purple hair was blowing in the wind. Her face was absolutely beautiful and her appearance was cold and serious, like a G.o.ddess of the Ninth Heaven.

Lin Canghai was gazing infatuated, muttering: "I didn't know that Lu Qiji was this beautiful."

When he recovered from his surprise, remembering that his sister did not like Lu Qiji, and Li Muyang and Lu Qiji also have had several conflicts before, he hurriedly explained: "Of course, not even one percent as beautiful as cla.s.smate Qiandu."

Lu Qiji cast a glance at Lin Canghai and chuckled: "The harder one tries to conceal a thing, the more it attracts attention."

Qiandu was also very beautiful, but her beauty was not like that of Lu Qiji, which would hurt other people's eyes.

Her beauty was a kind of graceful beauty, calm beauty, magnanimous beauty, and also the beauty of wisdom.

Lin Canghai laughed foolishly, deliberately changing the topic: "Do you think senior Savage will catch the weak water spirit?"

"We need to ask you that." Li Muyang said aloud. "You've been with him the longest, and you two had a barbecue together——"

"How do you know I've had a barbecue?" Lin Canghai asked in surprise.

"There's a smell of barbecue when you talk, how would I not know?" Li Muyang shot a bitter glance at Qiandu: "In order to search for this person, us two had suffered and were tortured so much, for what? This kid has been hiding in a cave having a barbecue."

"Do not drink the water of a fountain when thirsty. I originally didn't want to eat either." Lin Canghai's face was red with shame. 'But when I woke up I found myself really hungry, and the aroma of barbecued meat was too good. I thought I would have the strength to fight with people after eating, so I reluctantly ate some."

"All right, all right, you don't have to explain. It's not a big deal. You had talked to him, you should know the most about him. Who is he? How did he become a student of Starry Sky? There haven't been students left behind in the illusion these two years, right? Teacher Yang had said that there were students that did not want to leave the illusion many years ago, because they want to use the spiritual aura in the illusion to rapidly improve their cultivation level. But they ran into danger and disappeared. After that no one dared to do such a thing."

After a brief pause, Li Muyang said with a pensive look: "Could he be a student that entered the illusion in these past few years? The return of a student of the Withered Glory realm would cause an uproar, and any other nations would accept him. Why would he want to hide in this wilderness and suffer?"

"He is here for the heart of weak water." Lin Canghai explained. "He said that he has been waiting for the heart of weak water for years and must take it back. He also said that he is an abandoned student of Starry Sky, and came to the illusion with an important mission. I was more and more puzzled as I listened."

"Abandoned child of Starry Sky?" Li Muyang said thoughtfully. "It's a strange thing that the school would ask students to come in for the heart of weak water."

"Indeed." Lin Canghai said. "I've been trying to figure this out."

Just then, the savage suddenly separated himself from the Chong Diao, soaring into the sky.

His figure vanished under the eyes of the crowd, darted ahead of s...o...b..ll and searched around with a puzzled look on his face. Why he did not chase anymore?

Savage didn't chase after it, s...o...b..ll also stopped fleeing.

Its white figure was running around in circles in the air, scanning for the silhouette of the savage.

Li Muyang, Qiandu and Lin Canghai came to a stop. Lu Qiji and Tie Muxin and Cai Pa who were trying to catch up also stopped.

Everyone stared at s...o...b..ll who was circling around, but no one made any reckless movements.

Because they knew that the savage must had another plan. He had been searching for s...o...b..ll all these years, would he so easily give up?

However, after a long while, it was still soundless and motionless.

It was as though the savage really was gone.

The Chong Diao sat perched in a huge tree, staring ferociously at Li Muyang and the others.

It remembered Li Muyang pulling out the spikes on its back and ruthlessly stabbing it.

Li Muyang smiled coldly, thinking to himself: I haven't come to find you yet. Why is a wild bird holding a grudge? If the savage wasn't protecting you, I'd have turned you into a roast bird.

I'm curious how does one of the ten most vicious beasts of the Divine Continent tastes like.

However, whether it tastes good or not, I would gain face, right?

s...o...b..ll's body tightened, suddenly feeling danger.

It scanned around, but did not know where the source of the danger was.

Just then, there was a drop of water in the air.

When s...o...b..ll saw the bead of water, it worked all its four legs frantically and shrieked, attempting to escape.

Unfortunately, it was still one step behind.

Above the sky, there was a huge net emerging.

The big silver net was spreading across the sky, completely shrouding the area where s...o...b..ll was.

s...o...b..ll was frantically fleeing and making evasive leaps, but the silver net was also shrinking fast.

Bang!

s...o...b..ll's head was slammed into the silver wall of net.

The savage appeared again, holding a silver porcelain bottle in his hand.

The silver porcelain, which was transformed from the savage's essential yuan qi, was indestructible and invulnerable, that not even a drop of water could penetrate.

Return to the yuan bottle at once!

s...o...b..ll was helplessly drawn into the silver porcelain bottle. Through the silver transparent bottle, s...o...b..ll could be seen jumping up and down, making pitiful chirping sounds.

The savage flicked his finger, and there was a silver ball fell on the bottle top. The  exit was completely sealed.

The Savage joyfully gazed at s...o...b..ll, saying in a soft voice: "I have waited for 60 years, you will follow me back to Starry Sky. From then on, you and I are companions. I will not treat you badly."

Everyone's jaw dropped upon hearing his words.

This savage, has been in this illusion for 60 years?

"That is true love." Li Muyang sighed. His heart was aching seeing s...o...b..ll struggling and crying in the bottle. But he did not expect the savage to remain in the illusion for 60 years just for s...o...b..ll, and was finally able to capture it with his own hands today.

But why did he feel a pain in his heart?

Talents and treasure are reserved for the capable. He was also very gifted, right?

Swoos.h.!.+

A cold and fierce blade of qi struck the yuan bottle in the savage's hand.
