Chapter 272: Back To The Past Again

“Are you sure it’s a dragon? Dragons really exist in the world?” Buddha Head was staring, and he could hardly maintain his previously calm breath.

Hearing the word “dragon”, even a calm person like Buddha Head found it impossible to keep calm.

From ancient times to the present, dragons were considered legendary creatures, which were nonexistent and fictional. Although there was a legend within the demon descendants community that the horned salamander would transform into a mountain dragon after five hundred years and a real dragon after one thousand years, no one had ever seen a real dragon.

“Are you sure it’s not some scaled dragon but a real dragon?” Buddha Head took a deep breath, as all his astonishment disappeared, and his state of mind calmed down.

Even if this guy was the real boss of Baoze behind the scenes and a giant figure in the demon descendants world, he was still a young man. Young people had limited vision and were susceptible to mistakes due to their inexperience. It was possible for him to make the wrong judgments.

“Of course, it’s not some random scaled dragon. Real dragons have such a strong and invincible aura, on the other hand I can fight scaled dragons like I beat up my son,” Qin Ze said.

But you don’t have a son. You have only one daughter, Buddha Head thought.

“You fought with it?” Buddha Head’s eyes widened.

“Nah, I didn’t. When I noticed its strong presence, I was really shocked. I thought that some foreign Gokudo Path had come to Shanghai. I immediately went to check it out and met it at the mouth of the Yangtze River.” Qin Ze took a sip of tea and said in a leisurely voice, “I roared at it, ‘Come up if you dare!’ It ignored me and kept circling at the bottom of the water, as if to say, ‘Come down if you dare.’ We faced off over an hour. Neither of us could do anything to the other. In the end it swam into the sea and disappeared.”

Buddha Head was deep in thought. Qin Ze had been one of the strongest Half-Step Gokudo Path experts. He already had the aura of a Gokudo Path expert, but the adversary was something that could make him scared of going into the water. It was definitely not a scaled dragon then.

“Can you describe its appearance?” It’s still a bit unbelievable. Except for in the historical records, no one had ever seen the dragon.

A scale dragon had strangely shaped horns. Its body was covered with scales, and the four limbs that stuck out of its abdomen were somewhat deformed. Its tail was still a snake tail and not that of a fish. Whether it was a scaled dragon or a real dragon, it could be easily seen.

“It’s strange. It’s not the dragon that we understand.” Qin Ze thought for a moment. It was hard to describe for a moment. He reached for and a Buddhist Scripture on the shelf flew into his hand and was spread out on the table. Then he reached for an oil pen. “I’ll show it to you.”

He began to paint on the back of the scripture, with flying strokes. He finished the drawing in a few seconds.

The Buddha Head took a quick look. It was a divine dragon of extraordinary beauty. “S” was the body, “Y” was the horns, “I” was the limbs. It was literally a stick dragon!

Buddha Head’s face was (????).

Qin Ze explained, “The drawing is a little abstract, it mainly depends on your interpretation.” I’m not good at drawing!

“But whether it’s a dragon or not, I can conclude that it’s not a heretic of the demon descendants, so what is it? Since the announcement was released that the Great Deities Palace was about to open, I have been thinking about a question. What is the Great Deities Palace? It had never been opened in the past few hundred thousand years, but in a century, it had been opened twice, and soon for the third time. Why?”

“Are the ancient demons really destroyed? Could the dragon that I met be one of the ancient demons?”

“If they had been destroyed, will they recover one day? If they haven’t been completely destroyed, have they been hiding for tens of thousands of years? What is their purpose? What do they want to do? Will they do anything that threatens humanity?”

“What’s the strength of ancient demons? Can Gokudo Path match them?” Qin Ze became more and more serious as he asked more questions.

Buddha Head seemed to be slightly disturbed. The demon descendants community was still fighting for the Great Deities Palace, but Qin Ze’s eyes were set on a more distant future.

“Do you have any evidence to support your guess?” Buddha Head asked.

“No, it’s just my own guess,” Qin Ze whispered. “So I’m waiting for the Great Deities Palace to open. I’m not interested in the treasures inside. I’m interested in the Great Deities Palace itself.”

Qin Ze continued, “I won’t let ordinary employees into the Great Deities Palace. Everything in it is unknown. We might suffer great losses, which will shake the foundation of Baoze. I will send the best of the senior staff, and all the S-levels. The ten gods of Baoze are the top fighting force on my side, so I need to ask you for help on one thing. I want you to help me to block the foreign Half-Step Gokudo Paths, or even their Gokudo Paths, from entering.”

Buddha Head hesitated a little. “Okay.”

Qin Ze heaved a sigh of relief. “I would like to ask you if you know anything about the dragon, but I see that you are also completely clueless... But since you agreed to help, I guess I didn’t waste my trip here.”

“A few years ago, I didn’t have my current status. I once visited Quanzhen Sect and talked about the Demonic Priest with the Taoist Reverend. At that time, he answered everything smoothly, and I couldn’t detect anything strange. If it wasn’t for today’s reveal, I really couldn’t believe that he was such a person. You old monks and Taoists are really dangerous with your appearances. If you guys enter politics, the current politicians will all lose their jobs.” Qin Ze stood up and loosened his muscles. “In return for your help, I’ll help you solve the problem in your territory. I’ll take the blame.”

Buddha Head shook his head. “This karma has nothing to do with you. Let’s just eat some popcorn.”

Qin Ze smiled. “I like old monks like you who try to stay fashionable, keeping up the trends even though you remain hidden.”

....

The audience stands had all collapsed, and the earth seemed to be baptized by cracks and blasted with deep holes, with gravel all over the place, and the soil turned all over.

The demon descendants originally dared to watch the battle within thirty feet. However, after several brave people were seriously injured by the aftershock, and some demon descendants were sent flying, these bystanders retreated again and again and dared not to get too close.

Since ancient times, the confrontation between Half-Step Gokudo Paths was catastrophic. In recent years, the demon descendants community had been relatively peaceful, with few high-level clashes. Most people who were affected by the aftershock of the fighting were generally the younger generations. The older generations all knew of the risks of watching a top-level fight and had retreated very early to a safe distance.

Bang!

Taoist Reverend and Li Peiyun both hit each other’s chest. Li Peiyun only took three steps back. When Taoist Reverend flew out, his mouth was full of blood.

After more than ten minutes of being equally matched, Li Peiyun gradually gained the upper hand. One had stepped into the realm of Half-Step Gokudo Path for many years, the other was some newbie who just leveled up, but the old master seemed to be inferior to the newbie.

Although old age was a reason for the decline in power for the Taoist Reverend, it also proved that the Tri-Elements Sword Techniques was dominating. The sword of qi was sharper than any other swords, The Sword of Essence was as stable as a mountain. Although the Sword of Will did not shine in this battle, it easily blocked the powerful spiritual attacks of Taoist Reverend as it guards the consciousness.

There was no weakness at all!

As long as Li Peiyun stepped into the Half-Step Gokudo Path, he would immediately become one of the best in the Half-Step Gokudo Path.

Taoist Reverend’s eyes showed fatigue, and his tattered robes were dancing in the wind. As he stood in the breeze, an air of tragedy clung onto his figure.

“Your Tri-Elements Sword Technique is far weaker than that of Wang Chen. However, you’ve managed to force me to this point, proving that if I was in the same realm, I would never be his opponent.” Taoist Reverend said softly, “Wang Chen, I have waited for this day to arrive.”

His Taoist sword roared into the air and stayed still in the air. It was divided into two, then into four, then into eight.... One thousand and eight hundred swords hung high up in the sky, in a majestic formation.

“The Sword Array of All-Encompassing Phenomena!” someone from the audience exclaimed.

Quanzhen Sect was famous for its inner cultivation and arrays. Their inner cultivation referred to their abilities in practicing qi. In RPG terms, they had insane mana. Every Quanzhen master had an insane pool of mana. In those days, Demonic Priest alone defeated two-thirds of the high-end combat power of the demon descendants community, which was terrifying to even recall.

The Sword Array of All-Encompassing Phenomena was the summit of the sword arrays using a single sword. At present, in the whole Quanzhen Sect, only the Taoist Reverend dared to use this move. Most disciples were unable to even use this move due to their lack of skill or due to lack of mana.

Taoist Reverend’s qi exuded from his fingertips and firmly controlled the sword array in the air. Suddenly, he pointed down. All of a sudden, thousands of swords came crashing down in unison like a thunderstorm.

The rain of swords covered the entire arena, and Li Peiyun had nowhere to hide. Unexpectedly, he even took back the sword of qi, and his hands quickly stamped, chiding, “Rin!”

Kujikiri, Rin Cut!

The combination of essence, qi, and will was just like three strands of rope being twisted into one strand. His presence suddenly stabilized, like a mountain facing a tsunami.

Boom! The Taoist Swords fell like carpet bombing. The whole arena was shaking and the explosion was deafening. The qi ran amok and swept up waves of dust and sand, obscuring vision.

“Li Peiyun probably can’t defend against that. This is the Sword Array of All-Encompassing Phenomena!”

“Is this finally time to determine the victor? What a terrifying sword array and Taoist Reverend. I can still feel the shockwaves being so far away.”

“Even if Li Peiyun does not die, he will be seriously injured.”

The gazes all pointed at the field, waiting for the dust to disperse to see the outcome.

Li Peiyun should be proud to be able to force the Taoist Reverend to use the Sword Array of All-Encompassing Phenomena, even if he lost. After this battle, he would completely surpass Li Xianyu, Jiese, and Dan Chenzi, and become the strongest of the younger generation.

In addition to that person from Baoze, another Half-Step Gokudo Path appeared from the younger generation.

The dust slowly dispersed, and the two figures turned visible. Li Peiyun was in rags, his face was full of dust, his blood flowed down from the top of his head, and half of his face was dyed red.

“He didn’t lose!”

“He tanked it. He could defend against the swordarray by the Taoist Reverend!”

“It turns out that Li Peiyun is the strongest of this generation. This strength is fearsome.”

The audience was shocked.

“The Sword of Essence could refine his qi and blood. This made him impregnable.” Li Xianyu said with emotion, “What a cheater!”

He had high burst damage, high sustained damage, high defense, and the worst part was that he could make ranged attacks (Sword of Will). Such people should be nerfed hard to balance the Demon Descendant community.

The Taoist Reverend breathed heavily. Li Peiyun’s body was covered in blood. It can be seen that both sides were worn out, but it was too early to determine their life and death!

The Taoist Reverend started to make a hand seal again, as his sword flew back to him. The hilt of the sword faced the Taoist Reverend and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Li Peiyun.

Buzz!

The Taoist sword rotated at a high speed, and the sharpness could be felt from the aura that exuded from which. The dust that just settled was rolled up again.

“Speed!” The Taoist Reverend pointed his sword to Li Peiyun, and Taoist Sword roared out, and the dust on the ground suddenly rose.

In the process of flying, the sword started dividing again. In an instant, it turned into a torrent of steel, like a swarm of fish on the bottom of the sea, rolling towards Li Peiyun.

The Sword Array appeared again!

Li Peiyun’s ragged clothes were lifted by the strong wind. Before the swords arrived, the presence of the swords already started to assault his injured body.

He still didn’t hide nor dodge away. In the face of such great strength, Li Peiyun’s arm suddenly glowed white, as the sword of qi appeared again.

“Taoist Reverend!” Li Peiyun roared! “This sword, shall end the enmity between you and Wang Chen, along with the karma between him and me.”

With an angry roar, he waved his sword of qi to face the flood of steel, and stabbed it into the dense sword array.

Ding Ding—

Sparks flew like fireworks, and countless afterimages of the swords exploded. Li Peiyun rode on the momentum and charged forth.

People looked at this scene and held their breath.

Grandmother stood in the ruins, observing impassively. Twenty years later, she saw once again the power of Half-Step Gokudo Path. Without any reason, she thought of the last great-grandson, Li Wuxiang. If he was not dead, he might have stepped into the Gokudo Path.

If the Li Family even had one Gokudo Path, the family would rise again. She wanted to protect Li Wuxiang at that time, but he was determined to die. Great-Grandma said, “If you feel that you can’t live anymore, just give me your responsibilities. I’ll carry them for you.”

But even then Li Wuxiang didn’t agree. Even the pressure from his great-grandma didn’t work.

She didn’t know whether it was that he didn’t want her to hold onto the treasure, or that he didn’t have the treasures.

At this time, the pocket of her jeans shorts moved, and the ring that she confiscated suddenly flew out. Before she could react, it rushed to Li Xianyu who was still in the air.

Grandma immediately came back to her senses, jumped up, ran after the ring, and at the same time shouted a warning, “Be careful!”

Huayang was the first one to react. A streak of mental energy flew out from her forehead and struck the ring.

The mental power can’t stop the ring and was absorbed instead. It accelerated and was almost a flash of light. The ring sat itself on the thumb of Li Xianyu’s left hand!

“Li Xianyu...”

“Li Xianyu... ”

Something boomed in Li Xianyu’s head, as Thunderbolt Battle Lady and Huayang’s voice sounded in his ear and gradually went away.

“Wang Chen...”

“Wang Chen, are you ok?”

In the silence, the voice of calling increased in volume. Someone was pushing him constantly. Li Xianyu opened his eyes and saw a young man lying on the ground covered with bruises. People around called him with concern, “Wang Chen.”
