?靘洲, on the Changrong River.
The violent rain poured down in the wind and fell rapidly on the water, splashing countless turbid waves. The world became blurred. Only a huge body was faintly visible in the rain. Its scales were blue-green and its body was slender, like a dragon. It had six claws under its belly and moved forward freely in the torrential waves. The leopard-like head roared to the sky from time to time, and the sound was like rolling thunder. With every roar, the rain between heaven and earth became heavier.
This ferocious monster is none other than the 'Yanqu' that is now causing trouble in all directions. After defeating the coalition of five factions that came to attack it last month, the monster has become even more ferocious. It ordered its other generals to attack from all sides, destroying villages and towns one after another, turning them into swamps. Without flooding a state capital, it would seize a part of the dragon vein in that place to continue to strengthen itself. Now its power has been established, and it seems to be stepping into the ninth level, which makes the forces of several surrounding states fear it.
"That monster is probably about to advance."
In a dilapidated temple covered by rain, three old men observed from afar.
"What should we do? It's already difficult to deal with. If it devours the dragon veins of more states and counties, I'm afraid it will become like those evil dragons of ancient times, difficult to suppress and causing trouble for thousands of years."
"In the past, the Lord of the Mansion slew the demonic dragon, cut off the flow of water, and suppressed the dragon veins of the world with his own body. I never thought that now..."
"Alas, the Red Phoenix has died, and this dragon vein has long been out of control. Now that the Five Phoenixes have disappeared, we can only rely on ourselves."
"Didn't you ask for help from His Majesty King Dai some time ago? Have you heard back yet?"
Although the dynasty was divided, King Dai had accumulated great power for a long time, and now had several major sects standing behind him for support. If he was willing to suppress them with all his strength, this "Yan Qu" might not be impossible to defeat.
The other old man shook his head. The witch's robe on his body was already in tatters.
"His Majesty King Dai is currently leading his troops north, battling the new emperor's Julong Army at Tianfeng Pass. He's not willing to divert his attention to come and support them. Meanwhile, his disciples are also currently engaged in a fierce battle with the loyal Red Sparrow Dragon Riders on the battlefield."
"The Wan Zi Qian Hong Valley in Hua Xuzhou originally wanted to send people to support us, but due to opposition from some members of the faction, the plan was abandoned."
Because King Dai's fiefdom was in the southwestern province, after the dynasty split, many forces in the southwest defected to King Dai. Even if some major sects did not take sides, they were unwilling to be enemies with him and would not easily send a large number of disciples out.
"What about the others? For example, Longshu Xuejie Sect, Tagujianyoucheng, Zhuzhan Huolianyuan, etc."
"The sects you mentioned, Longshu Xuejie Sect, and Zhuzhan Huolianyuan's disciples are currently fighting against the dragon riders of that dynasty at Tianfeng Pass. As for Tagujianyoucheng, as you know, they have to guard the Diyuan of Xuanyuanzhou and won't go out easily."
"The others, like the Burning Sun and Yellow Feather Sect and the Condensed Purple Illuminating Night Palace, are too far away. I don't know if they're thinking of coming over now, alas."
"This is really infuriating. Such a big disaster happened, but no one came to take care of it. We only regretted it when it became irreversible!" After saying this, the old man stomped his feet heavily, feeling very angry.
"The dynasty is about to fall, demons are appearing everywhere, and a great catastrophe is approaching. I think these two kings and one emperor are not worthy of being a human emperor, but there is nothing we can do now. We can only seek to protect ourselves."
"Let's go, don't worry about this, follow me into the mountains to meditate and seek immortality." After saying this, the old man in gray and white robes turned around and prepared to leave.
"Oh, you old Taoist priest, you were once a shaman priest appointed by the dynasty, but now you have such little bearing." The old man with tattered robes waved his hand and pointed.
"Well, what else can I do? I know my strength is limited. Should I go and die? This Yanqu has already killed the four sect leaders and countless sixth-level 'Chengwu Realm' masters. Am I, with my old body, going to try to stop a chariot with my bare hands?"
"Forget it, I won't argue with you. Go on your way. I want to stay here for a while longer."
"You old man, you really won't cry until you see the coffin, huh..."
Although he said this, he still did not leave immediately. After all, they had been friends for decades, and there were not many friends with whom he could sit down and talk and chat.
"Shh, keep your voice down. I think the monster seems to have heard something." While the two were still arguing, the person in front who had been silent suddenly turned around and made a gesture to keep quiet.
"It's raining so hard, my words will probably be mixed in with the noise." He said this in a lower voice.
"Qu——"
In the rain, the monster roared again, and this time the voice seemed to carry some anger. Its head turned to one side, staring at a corner in the blurry rain.
"That's... Look, there's someone!"
"Oh, is there someone coming again? He is really not afraid of death." The two people behind stepped forward, peeking through the thick rain.
With the sound of heavy footsteps, the body broke through the layers of rain curtains, carrying with it countless water droplets and air waves, and suddenly appeared in the distant field of vision.
Seeing this sudden appearance of human, the 'Yanqu' screamed so loudly that it almost deafened people, and countless huge waves rose up and pressed down, hitting the big man who appeared.
"break!"
The dark red giant knife, as dark as rust, cut through the huge waves that were pressing down, causing a whistling sound in the air.
Afterwards, the water waves landed on the ground, splashing a large amount of water, and the strong man jumped up, holding the huge knife high in his hand, and chopped it down at the "Yanqu".
It was not until then that the three men could clearly see the appearance of the sturdy man. He was shirtless, with muscles like steel, thick arms and palms, and ferocious finger bones. The huge sword in his hand was like a side dragon slash, and the ferocious blade arc was full of blood and murderous aura.
Under this sudden blow, Yanqu's huge body could not dodge, and a huge gash was split open on his leopard-like head. Black blood gushed out, and a fishy and stuffy smell filled the sky and the earth.
