All Heavens: From Joy of Life to The Great Feng Night Watchman

Page 444

"Three years ago, a dragon came to the lake in this valley. The monster came with serious injuries and was hiding in the depths of the lake, probably to avoid its enemies."

"Later, the sect leader got to know that demon and they reached an agreement: the sect leader would provide the demon with children's blood as food, and the demon would provide the sect leader with pills for cultivation."

Li Miaozhen frowned and asked, "Where did the demon get the pills?"

The lean man, enduring the excruciating pain, said, "It's quite a coincidence, there used to be a hermitage in this lake, but the sect leader has never been able to open it."

The Crimson Dragon Society is located here so that its leader can easily occupy this cave. Over time, as his cultivation level increases, he will eventually find a way to open it.

That demon was a fifth-grade Core Formation cultivator, possessing considerable magical power. It stumbled inside by accident, and took all the pills and treasures for itself.

"Later, this monster, relying on the formation of its cave, also killed two people who came to hunt it down, one of whom seemed to be a night watchman from the imperial court."

"Having consumed the blood of children, that demon has recently reached the fourth rank of divine power; I'm afraid the two of you won't be able to handle it."

The cultivation methods of demons and martial artists are similar in that they both temper their bodies and strength, and seize all power to strengthen themselves.

However, a martial artist at the fifth rank cultivates self-control and at the fourth rank cultivates intent, while a demon at the fifth rank condenses a demon core and at the fourth rank cultivates supernatural powers.

Upon hearing that this demon possessed the power of a fourth-grade divine ability, Li Miaozhen was perplexed. With her strength, she was no match for such a demon.

Although her Taoist magic is profound and far superior to that of ordinary rogue cultivators, when she encounters a fourth-rank demon, she can at most manage to escape unscathed.

"You know so much, you must be a confidant of the sect leader, and you must have received a lot of benefits from him."

Li Miaozhen snorted coldly, then killed the wiry man with a single sword stroke. If there were any innocent bystanders in the Crimson Dragon Society, this man was definitely not one of them.

Now it seems that the entire Crimson Dragon Society was just a smokescreen set up by the Crimson Dragon Society leader to monopolize the cave, merely to deceive others.

"Brother Li, there is a fourth-rank demon in the lake, which is somewhat troublesome."

Li Miaozhen frowned, repeatedly thinking about her current situation, and felt that there was little hope no matter how she thought about it.

"We're about to leave Jianzhou, so it's best to get rid of this menace while we're at it. I'll take care of everything."

Hearing Li Chang'an say this, Li Miaozhen realized that she had already used all her strength when dealing with Xu Gu, but Li Chang'an only used one move.

Moreover, Li Chang'an is skilled in both martial arts and Taoism, and has received personal instruction from the leader of the Human Sect, so his foundation should be very profound.

During the days she spent with Li Chang'an, the two discussed many things related to cultivation. Li Miaozhen increasingly felt that Li Chang'an was unfathomable, knowledgeable, and had a composure that did not match his age.

“Brother Li, then I will cover for you. I have a small teleportation talisman from my sect, so if things get urgent, we can get away immediately.”

Li Miaozhen is both brave and resourceful; she has already planned her escape route and is not a reckless fool driven by passion.

The two discussed some details and then infiltrated the Red Dragon Society's compound. The Red Dragon Society only had two fifth-rank experts, one of whom was the sect leader.

The martial arts gang was safer than the Taoist temple, since there were no messy magical artifacts or formations to interfere. The two quickly arrived at the sect leader's room.

Keng!

When Li Miaozhen thrust her longsword toward the sect leader's throat, the sect leader, due to his exceptional martial arts awareness, actually woke up and immediately grabbed a horse-slaying saber from his bedside, deflecting Li Miaozhen's sword.

Seeing the sharpness of the horse-slaying sword, Li Miaozhen said in a low voice, "A magic weapon."

Although it's just an ordinary magical artifact, it's not something a gang like the Crimson Dragon Society could afford. It's very likely a treasure from the cave in the lake.

The eight-foot-tall leader of the Crimson Dragon Society was burly and strong. The three-foot-long saber did not seem long in his hands. Based on his martial arts senses, he already knew that two experts had arrived.

"No matter who you two are, you can't kill me! I have the aura of a Crimson Dragon within me. If I die, it will definitely be alerted, and then you won't be able to escape!"

His words were full of confidence. He could sense Li Miaozhen's Taoist aura and guessed that these two experts were not ordinary martial arts figures. They must have come for the cave.

"The imperial court's Silver Robe has all died at the hands of the Crimson Dragon. I advise you two not to seek your own deaths..."

Before he could finish speaking, the sect leader saw a sword beam shoot through the air, and by the time he reacted, the sword beam had already severed his head.

Aside from the fact that all of Li Chang'an's powerful abilities from the Sacred Heart Technique were altered by the rules, most of his martial arts skills remained, and his Great River Sword Intent was still sharp.

In the darkness, a jade pendant on the sect leader's chest suddenly shattered, emitting a faint light.

Immediately afterwards, a violent roar suddenly rang out in the night sky outside the courtyard!

Chapter 265 Azure Origin Sword Technique Slays the Flood Dragon! The Crimson Flood Dragon Has No Sheath!

When Li Chang'an and Li Miaozhen arrived at the Red Dragon Society's courtyard, the roar abruptly stopped.

It seems that the dragon in the lake sensed the death of the Crimson Dragon Society leader, and that roar was an instinctive reaction.

The monster guessed that a powerful enemy had arrived on the shore, so it did not rashly step forward.

The two arrived at the lakeside. Under the moonlight, the lake was so deep that its bottom could not be seen, and it faintly exuded an aura of magic.

"Brother Li, if it really is a fourth-grade dragon, are you confident you can deal with it?"

Li Miaozhen had killed many villains, but she hadn't encountered many high-level demons, so she was still worried even at this point.

"That person said that the time it took for the dragon to break through to the fourth rank was not long, so it may not have even mastered its supernatural powers yet, so our chances are still quite good."

Li Chang'an had killed demons in this world and had prepared many methods, so he was not too worried.

The only concern is that he is not proficient in formations, but the formations are in the cave of a master, so Li Chang'an can kill the dragon and then slowly study the formations.

"Miaozhen, do you understand formations?"

Li Miaozhen looked at the longsword in her hand and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm not an expert, I only have a basic understanding."

In fact, the most proficient in formations in the Great Feng world is the sorcerer system, while the Taoist sect only knows some formations related to Taoist magic.

"Then you and Xiao Jin wait on the shore. If the situation underwater becomes unfavorable, we'll escape immediately."

The dragon moves swiftly in the water, but once it comes ashore, its speed is no match for that of the golden eagle.

"Alright, Brother Li, please be careful."

After Li Miaozhen finished speaking, she saw Li Chang'an dive into the water without hesitation, and he didn't seem afraid at all.

After Li Chang'an went into the water, he could no longer see anything after swimming only a few feet. At this point, the martial artist's superhuman senses came into play.

The lake water was calm and icy cold, with almost no living creatures. Li Chang'an dived more than a thousand feet down before he sensed a powerful aura at the bottom of the lake.

Beneath a precipice at the bottom of the lake, a massive, several-zhang-long dragon was coiled up nervously.

However, as Li Chang'an's presence drew closer, the dragon grew bolder and bolder.

"His cultivation level is not necessarily comparable to that of Yin Luo, yet he dared to venture deep into the lake."

"Humans are indeed greedy; they're willing to risk their lives for this cave dwelling behind them."

The paths of cultivation for demons and martial artists are similar, so the dragon easily sensed Li Chang'an's martial aura and knew that the other party was a rank lower than itself, which immediately put the dragon at ease.

With a change of form, he transformed into a dragon-headed human, and could deal with a fifth-rank martial artist without even needing to use his original form's power.

Following the scent, Li Chang'an arrived at the foot of the cliff and found the crimson dragon carrying a large sword, smiling at him.

The red dragon's internal energy expanded, revealing its early fourth-grade cultivation level, which was clearly a show of force.

"A mere fifth-rank martial artist dares to provoke your grandfather Jiao? It seems you're really tired of living."

Li Chang'an did not answer, but instead took out the sword belonging to the leader of the Crimson Dragon Society from his storage jade pendant, which also fit the dragon's judgment that he was a martial artist.

As long as the dragon believes that he is just an ordinary martial artist, Li Chang'an will have the opportunity to use the Taoist sect's resources to kill him, and the difficulty will be much lower than a direct confrontation.

"You only left your head and didn't take on a human form, and you look... really ugly."

On its enormous red head, red scales occasionally reflected light, and in its huge yellow eyes, two vertical pupils were turning with disdain.

This appearance is indeed not good-looking at all.

Just then, the dragon's vertical pupils suddenly contracted slightly, because it saw Li Chang'an's figure rushing over.

Do the weak human race not realize they have no chance of winning?

Chi Jiao stared at the horse-slaying saber in Li Chang'an's hand, then swung his own broadsword fiercely, the two blades clashing head-on!

The dragon unleashed its full power, determined to show this martial artist the difference in strength!

"Keng!"

With a soft sound, their energies collided.

The horse-slaying saber in Li Chang'an's hand was easily cut in two, which shows that the Crimson Dragon Greatsword was of good quality and the Crimson Dragon's cultivation was not low either.

Jiaolong was somewhat surprised, because Li Chang'an's strike was very weak, lacking the power of a fifth-rank martial artist.

What on earth is this human doing?

After all, it was a demon that had been fighting with humans for many years, and it did not easily become proud of itself for cutting off the opponent's weapon, because humans are generally quite cunning.

Sure enough, at the instant the two blades clashed, the Crimson Dragon saw the corners of Li Chang'an's mouth turn up slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful burst of magical energy erupted!

Suddenly, Li Chang'an burst forth, splitting into three. The three Li Chang'ans, each wielding a longsword, attacked the Crimson Dragon from three directions!

The Crimson Dragon was greatly surprised, because Li Chang'an's unarmed hands had just conjured up a green sword light out of thin air, as if he were holding a long sword.

Li Chang'an was not actually Wei San in his physical body, but rather created three clone sword shadows at an extremely fast speed.

"Shameless humans... This is not the way of a warrior!"

All of this happened in an instant. The horse-slaying saber in Li Chang'an's hand was just a smokescreen. The real killing move was this Taoist sword technique!

This martial artist actually practiced Taoist magic at the same time!

The Azure Origin Sword Manual is a Taoist cultivation technique that Li Chang'an obtained after arriving in this world.
