In the pouring rain, only a figure and a half-dragon, half-floating creature were seen fighting in the sky.
Gu Lingze looked at the figure and felt indescribably familiar. Before he could figure it out clearly, the dragon was stabbed by a sword.
When the figure was about to give chase, the half-dragon, half-dragon transformed into a human and fell to the ground.
"Master Lingyue, are you going to fight me to the death?" The figure in the air snorted coldly and fell down.
Only then did Gu Lingze see the figure's appearance clearly. It was exactly the same as him, which immediately made him confused and uncertain.
"You evil beast, you have eaten so many innocent people for your transformation. The law of heaven is clear. As an evil dragon, you still want to use this dragon-slaying sword to ascend to become a dragon? Dream on!" After saying that, he stepped forward with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the dragon.
The dragon was unable to dodge in time and spit out a bead from its dantian to resist the attack.
Taoist Lingyue saw the blood-red color of the bead and said angrily, "You actually killed so many people for Chengfeng? Even if you become a dragon, I will pull out your dragon tendons to comfort the wronged souls in heaven and on earth!"
"Ling Yue, I call you Dao Jun, do you really think you have attained the Tao and become an immortal?"
"I did deliberately lead these villagers into the water in order to be crowned as a righteous person. Who would have thought that not even one of them would be enlightened? No one called me a dragon. I couldn't be crowned as a righteous person. I cultivated for hundreds of years in vain. Even their lives would not be enough to make up for the loss. These stupid people are as worthless as grass..."
At this moment, the dragon's eyes suddenly became extremely vicious, and he said sternly: "Is it worth it for you to fight me to the death even though the thunder tribulation is coming?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a lightning column as thick as an arm suddenly hit Lingyue.
Seeing this, the dragon laughed happily and said, "It seems that even the heavens won't allow you to take me in. What's the point of forcing my inner elixir out? The thunder tribulation is coming. Can you still fight against the way of heaven?"
The dragon said this with a look of contempt, and prepared to transform and fly away.
Ling Yue, however, summoned a magic sword to block it, and the dragon had to turn around and dodge.
With one breath, Ling Yue flew into the air, threw away his sword, made a hand gesture, and cast a series of talismans in the air. Dozens of talismans were about to fall on the dragon before disappearing.
The second bolt of lightning fell on Ling Yue again. He frowned and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the talisman. The talisman flashed with golden light and suppressed the dragon ten percent.
"Are you crazy? You'd rather become an immortal than..." Before the dragon could finish howling, Ling Yue sacrificed a chain.
He bit his fingertip and drew a talisman with great swiftness of the pen. After finishing, he threw it into the air and hooked it on the neck of the still struggling dragon.
Another finger gesture was made, and the scene changed again and again, turning to the bottom of a bridge.
There was a deep well under the bridge. Ling Yue pulled out the chain and threw the dragon into the bottom of the well.
The originally clear well water suddenly turned into a boiling yellow spring with a strong fishy smell, but the dragon still refused to give up.
An eye emerged from the underworld, rising and falling, staring at Ling Yue viciously.
But Ling Yue didn't care and flew onto the bridge. At this time, there was only one thunder left among the nine thunder tribulations.
However, he slowly set up another formation. Seeing this, Gu Lingze could no longer remain calm.
Because Ling Yue actually set up a dragon-slaying formation, but he could only watch the formation take shape and was unable to stop it at all.
Ling Yue stood tall, with two fingers of her left hand together, and her index finger slightly bent.
"With my heart of Tao, I divide my primordial spirit. The Tao is ruthless. It moves the sun and the moon. It reduces the cost and flows the end. Everything returns to one."
After he finished speaking, the last thunderbolt struck from the sky, eclipsing the heaven and earth.
Gu Lingze couldn't help but feel sad when he saw this scene. Before he could recover, he regained consciousness.
That scene just now... was it a dream?
No, that was not a dream, it was his and Cheng Jiao’s predecessor, Gu Lingze was sure of that.
No wonder he and Cheng Jiao were so determined to fight to the death when they met, it turned out that everything the master said was true.
I was once a wisp of the soul of Taoist Lingyue, and Cheng Jiao must be related to the dragon.
Suddenly, the sound of chains came to his ears. Although Gu Lingze was conscious, his eyes were still closed.
"Get a bucket of water and throw it on him to wake him up."
After a while, he heard footsteps approaching, and he felt a chill on his face and his upper body was soaked.
Gu Lingze was lying on the ground. He opened his eyes and felt as if his whole body had been run over by wheels. Every part of his body was painful.
"Gu Lingze, do you admit your guilt?" A man in a red official robe was looking down at him.
Gu Lingze looked around and found himself in prison again.
"Who are you?"
"I am Zou Guanghong, the Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate." The man looked at him with his nose raised and a proud expression.
Gu Lingze looked at him and curled his lips, "Then what crime have I committed?"
"How dare you call yourself me in front of me?"
Zou Guanghong didn't expect that this person could be so arrogant after entering here, and he was immediately furious.
"Even if I am guilty, I should be brought to the Dali Temple for trial. When will it be your turn as the Right Deputy Imperial Envoy to get involved?"
This man is just a paper tiger, but Gu Lingze is not afraid of him at all.
"Okay, you're such a sharp-tongued person." Zou Guanghong was so angry that he paced back and forth.
"I will pull out all your fangs today and see how you can still be so arrogant!" After saying that, he ordered people to bring the torture instruments, and it seemed that he was really going to take action.
"etc!"
Another man in official uniform came over and looked at Lingze with a vicious look in his eyes.
"Master Yuan." Zou Guanghong bowed.
"Lord Zou, you and I are both third-rank officials, and now we are both serving the Third Prince. There is really no need to be so polite."
Gu Lingze lay on the ground and watched the two people greeting each other. He found it a little ridiculous. They were really a pair of snakes and rats of the same nest, in cahoots with each other.
Now he has met his enemies, and these two people probably prepared a "big gift" for him.
"You just said that if you are guilty, you should be handed over to the Dali Temple for trial. Since I am the Dali Temple Minister, I am asking you now, do you confess or not?"
After saying that, he stepped hard on Gu Lingze's hand and crushed it several times.
Gu Lingze remained calm, "Whether I confess or not, it makes no difference to you. Why bother pretending to be so dignified?"
Yuan Lun narrowed his eyes, full of murderous intent, "No matter how hard you try to talk, once you are in the Dali Temple's prison, you will have to open your mouth even if you are dead!"
"Come here, hang him on the rack for me!"
Two jailers came over and dragged Gu Lingze all the way to the torture room.
The walls on both sides of the torture room were hung with torture instruments, and fresh blood was even dripping from these instruments.
The blood, along with the smell of rust from the torture instruments, kept drilling into Gu Lingze's nose.
When the jailer turned his head, he took out a paper crane from his sleeve. The crane fell to the ground and flew into the air, but no one else could see it.
