Sensing the complex and sophisticated aura in the sky, Gu Yifeng could only close his Hidden Eyes to avoid getting a headache. He was only at the Concentration Realm and couldn't directly access the laws of the Great Dao yet.
Even those at the Taixu Realm can only barely look directly at the materialized existence of the Great Dao Laws.
Just as Gu Yifeng was sighing inwardly, a sound of wind breaking came from all around. He reacted instantly, his Wood Spirit Ring flashed, and dozens of wooden swords shot out in an instant.
However, before they could even get close to the source of the sound, streaks of green flame turned the wooden swords to ashes.
Mu Chenzi slowly emerged from the forest, a cruel smile on his face.
"Kid, I've finally found you. Now, no one should be stopping me from killing you."
Mu Chenzi sneered, his expression ruthless, making it hard to associate him with the benevolent Mulong clan.
"Really? It was supposed to be a random teleportation, so how did you find me?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yifeng only showed a slight panic and couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, I can only say that you are an outsider after all. Even if you have obtained the authority from the elder, so what? Let me tell you, after we come in, the wooden plaque that can help you teleport out is the best medium for finding people."
Seeing this, Mu Chenzi was quite satisfied and calmly began to explain.
"I see. Are there any other functions?"
Gu Yifeng continued to ask.
"Of course there is...you're trying to trick me?"
Mu Chenzi was about to respond instinctively, but then realized what was happening and her expression turned angry.
"Yes, how can they cooperate if we don't offer them something in return?"
Gu Yifeng smiled slyly and instantly retreated. Mu Chenzi's attack followed immediately. In their first exchange, Mu Chenzi was already at a slight disadvantage.
"court death!"
Mu Chenzi roared, and a long spear immediately appeared in his hand. He raised his hand and thrust out a gust of wind from the spear, which transformed into a long dragon and roared towards him.
Gu Yifeng showed no fear. He raised his wooden spirit ring forward, and a dark green light shield appeared, instantly blocking the wind from the spear. Then, he circulated his spiritual power, and thorns suddenly pierced out from the ground, restricting Mu Chenzi's movements.
This was just the beginning. As the green light flickered, the thorns began to wriggle and started to devour Mu Chenzi's spiritual power.
This is the power of the Wood Spirit Ring.
"You! Impossible! How could you possess such a heaven-defying magical artifact!"
Mu Chenzi's eyesight was not bad either, and he naturally recognized that Gu Yifeng's actions were all relying on the Wood Spirit Ring, which is why he suppressed him in just a few moves.
"Yes, it's a pity that your Wood Dragon clan is inherently disadvantaged. With this ring, you can't kill me."
Gu Yifeng sneered, not wanting to continue entangled with him, and turned to leave.
However, just as he turned around, a dragon's roar came from behind him, and the thorns that were restricting Mu Chenzi shattered inch by inch. A dragon-man, a full ten feet in size, appeared on the spot, which was his original form.
"out!"
Gu Yifeng remained completely calm. With a soft shout, two unique streams flowed from his dantian, transforming into his true form. The three figures simultaneously raised their hands and unleashed a shattering ice palm strike.
Mu Chenzi went completely berserk, his body surface covered with a layer of dragon breath gas, and the green flames were also extremely hot, burning and turning into tree branches if touched.
This is dragon breath, and even though it carries the power of the Wood Dragon Clan, it cannot be absorbed or suppressed by the Wood Spirit Ring.
Both reacted almost simultaneously. Gu Yifeng's Ice Wind Flame power erupted instantly, directly suppressing the power of the dragon's breath. Combined with the dragon pearl in his dantian, it actually neutralized the damage from Mu Chenzi's dragon breath.
However, Mu Chenzi was not in good shape after his three Ice-Shattering Palms. Both of his leg bones shattered at the same time, turning into ice blocks that exploded inside his body.
The icy power relentlessly eroded him, knocking him to the ground where he groaned in pain.
"I didn't want to kill you, but you're too noisy, and besides, we can't teleport here anymore."
Gu Yifeng spoke slowly, having already noticed the shielding barrier around them, which could isolate the wooden plaque from the outside world.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Chenzi transformed into human form, his face filled with terror. He clearly understood Gu Yifeng's meaning, but it was too late for regrets.
Gu Yifeng drew his Longquan sword from his waist and instantly slashed across Mu Chenzi's neck, sending a fine head flying. Blood splattered everywhere, staining his green robes.
Having just killed a formidable enemy head-on for the first time, he showed no fear on his face; in fact, he couldn't help but smirk, a hint of excitement emanating from him.
This is what killing feels like. For the first time in so long, Gu Yifeng felt a sense of relief from the bottom of his heart.
The warmth of the blood on his body had not yet faded. He gently dipped a little into his mouth and put it in. It immediately turned into a rich spiritual energy and spread out. Even though he was a dragon-man, the blood flowing in Mu Chenzi's veins was that of a true dragon!
Just then, the wooden plaque at Gu Yifeng's waist flew out on its own, absorbed and fused with Mu Chenzi's wooden plaque, turning it into bronze, and even devoured his corpse and blood, finally transforming into a single character in front of him.
Almost simultaneously, the Dragon Spirit Token between his brows also manifested, spinning continuously until it turned blood red.
"This is……"
Gu Yifeng hesitated for a moment, then activated his Hidden Eye, and a message flooded into his mind.
"Dragon Spirit Proof: Recognition from the spirit of rules set by the Azure Dragon. After absorbing dragon blood, it has become the title of Dragon Slayer. Unlocked secret skill: Devour, which can devour the bloodline of dragons to purify the purity of one's own bloodline."
Note: At least half-dragon blood is required to obtain the inheritance in the Azure Dragon Trial.
Upon seeing this information, Gu Yifeng's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected that his very first day in the Trial Grounds would be marked by a path of slaughter.
The reason for killing Mu Chenzi was that this person harbored murderous intent towards him and deserved to die. However, the other members of the Mulong clan had not provoked him. If he were to rashly slaughter them, he feared that Old Man Musong would not let him off the hook.
However, the thought of the Azure Dragon inheritance was undeniably attractive to Gu Yifeng, who couldn't help but lick his lips. He needed a compromise to suppress his desires.
After sitting cross-legged, he circulated his spiritual energy, and a cool sensation entered his body, instantly making him much more awake. He was no longer affected by the killing and continued to indulge in it.
"Phew...that was close! I never thought that my inner demons would take advantage of my weakness on my first time killing someone."
Gu Yifeng let out a long sigh and couldn't help but speak.
That strange state I just experienced was my inner demon. I thought my inner demon had dissipated, but it was reactivated after I killed someone for the first time. It seems that eliminating it once is not a permanent solution.
As long as desires remain and the pleasures of life are still available, one may be tempted by inner demons and thus go astray.
However, regardless of the circumstances, the information from the Eye of Concealment is accurate. You cannot kill indiscriminately, but you can obtain some dragon blood after defeating those dragons. In this way, the effect is about the same, but the efficiency will be much lower.
He then turned his attention to the token.
