Chapter 130 – Blood dragon and wild ax
Chapter 130 Blood dragon and wild ax
In a stretch of boundless snowy area, Long Yu was leaving no footprints while escaping from Long Ji.
A pair of white wings was constantly flapping behind him as he was leaving afterimages behind and floated forward, faster and further into the Mongolian State.
However, a golden figure was chasing him down at a very fast speed. Long Ji had a large amount of energy leaking from his body, and wherever he went, the white snow began to melt all of a sudden.
“If this continues, sooner or later, he will overtake me.”
Long Yu had a cold feeling in his heart and as the enemy was getting closer, he began to think that only if he was in good terms with Demon Wings.
Earlier, he once succeeded in forming a conjunction with his Blizzard boots but it was just a low-grade battle weapon and its speed-boosting effect could hardly do anything to help him in this dire situation.
But if he could be on good terms with the Demon Wings, he would certainly be able to enhance his own speed to another level!
However, Demon Wings were made up from the feathers of a demon beast that despised human beings.
In this case, Long Yu found it impossible to find any conjunction point with the Demon Wings.
As he was busy thinking to find a solution, suddenly, the heavenly lunar tablet flew out of his bosom and discharged rich lunar qi that completely enveloped his Demon Wings.
“What is going on?”
Long Yu’s complexion slightly changed because he had never seen Heavenly Lunar Tablet behaving like this.
And now, it acted on its own and emitted lunar qi that suddenly enveloped the two white wings!
A pair of white wings was dyed gray and hence turned gray in color. The two gray wings no longer looked beautiful due to a sudden change in color from pure white to gray but this was necessary.
However, as a result of that, the very nature of Demon wings also completely changed.
Originally, these Demon Wings used to be a spiritual level best grade battle weapon with a damaged matrix method engraved upon it. It was very difficult to form a conjunction with it due its hatred toward human beings.
Now, the name of these wings should actually be changed to ‘Lunar wings’ since the demon beast’s hatred toward human beings was completely obliterated by the lunar qi invasion.
At this moment, the lunar wings had become a spiritual level best quality battle weapon with traces of black lines engraved on its surface.
“Black lines? Nine Hidden Dragon qi!”
Long Yu saw this and immediately understood what happened just now.
The sudden activation of the Heavenly lunar tablet was not its own decision, it was just incited by the nine hidden dragon mark on his chest!
Nine hidden dragon qi stimulated the circulation of lunar qi within the tablet and this pushed lunar qi out of the tablet and some of it led to the transformation of lunar wings.
These black lines on his Demon Wings were identical to the ones engraved on the dragon spear!
“Nine hidden dragon lines, stimulated activation!”
Long Yu, without any hesitation, poured his own Xuan qi into the lunar wings and suddenly activated the black lines.
The lunar wings had a sudden burst of tyrannical power that instantly made Long Yu very light and lithe.
Although he was still not on good terms with the lunar wings, they still managed to give him a great boost in speed!
The gray wings began to exude strange nine hidden dragon qi, and gradually, his entire body turned gray with traces of black lines appearing all over his body. Now, the appearance of black lines made him look like a vicious demon, not to mention his speed increased drastically and he instantly disappeared from Long Ji’s line of sight.
Long Ji was stunned by this scene and gawked.
He was happy in his heart that soon he was going to catch Long Yu and put him to death for ‘treason’, but in a blink of an eye, he saw a sudden burst of some kind of strange black aura and the boy’s speed became a lot faster than his own speed!
“How is this possible? This boy is just a newbie in Zhenling realm whereas I have already congealed spirit entity. How can he be faster than me?”
Long Ji’s eyes opened wide in shock and disbelief!
However, it took a lot of planning and risk to come to this situation so he certainly would not let Long Yu escape that easily.
“Blood Dragon Zhenling, appear now!”
Long Ji shouted, followed by the appearance of a blood red dragon spirit behind him.
The blood dragon was not just a spirit image. It was actually a congealed spirit entity with actual mass as if an evil blood dragon had really appeared in flesh and blood and was roaring constantly.
Blood Dragon tactics, being a core law of Long clan, was practiced by the juniors of Long clan.
Long clan was able to become one of the top three clans in Tang State just because it possessed Blood Dragon tactics!
After practicing Blood Dragon tactics, one would be able to comprehend the law of killing, and because of this, juniors of Long clan were mostly rich in murderous rage and decisiveness on the battlefield, making them most efficient soldiers without any noticeable drawbacks.
When the Blood Dragon emerged behind Long Ji, his speed suddenly increased. Also, snow began to melt in abundance, changing into blood red water, in the presence of the Blood Dragon!
Long Yu heard Blood Dragon’s roars but wasn’t surprised as he had already anticipated this outcome!
“So, this is his spirit entity? Not bad.”
Long Yu felt a heavy coercion of killing intention, influencing him from behind. He sensed Long Ji and his Blood Dragon getting closer and could not stop a strange rogue smile appearing on his face.
It seemed like he might have to summon Nine Hidden Dragon Spirit to face this Blood Dragon!
Although the Blood Dragon was releasing an endless amount of murderous aura, about one level higher than the other spirits he had seen so far, however, it was still nowhere near Nine Hidden Dragon Spirit.
This comparison was not based on the strengths of these spirits but their grades.
Just like there was a division of grade among battle weapons and martial skills, Zhenlings also had a similar grading system.
So far, Long Yu had mostly seen ordinary level spirits, including his own Zhentian Sun, Bu Xing’s eagle spirit and so on. These spirits were all on the same level.
(Mystique: Zhenling = True spirit or spirit)
However, Blood Dragon was a level above those other spirits.
As far as his second Zhenling, Nine Hidden Dragon Spirit, was concerned, according to his estimate, it was several levels above all these spirits. It was hard to determine the exact difference in levels between Nine Hidden Dragon Spirit and those other spirits.
Long Yu knew that his Nine Hidden Dragon Spirit was a foreign existence on this continent, and simply beyond the scope of other spirits!
Regarding the exact division of Zhenling grades, he was still unable to reach the final analysis since his present cultivation level and martial strength was too weak and most Zhenling experts also did not have any knowledge about this.
After all, excluding the top three clans of Tang State, all other experts possessed most basic grade spirits so there was no particular need to identify the grades.
Could it be that the royal clan and the top three clans of Tang State were able to hold such positions because of having high-level spirits?
Suddenly, the question flashed in his mind but Long Yu suppressed all distracting thoughts and focused on dealing with Long Ji and his spirit entity.
Long Ji and Blood Dragon were not far away from Long Yu and as soon as he decided to summon Nine Hidden Dragon Spirit, suddenly, he heard a loud shout that came from the front.
“Well, well, what do we have here?”
Long Yu immediately looked toward the front.
There was a snow valley in front of him, and right at the end of this snow valley, there was a huge crowd of Mongolian soldiers, apparently waiting for them!
They were being led by a savage looking man who was clad in a thick animal skin coat. He was also releasing a very tyrannical breath. He was actually a powerhouse of Zhenling fourth layer!
He had cleverly prepared an ambush on the other side of the snow valley, which was the reason why neither Long Yu nor Long Ji was able to detect the presence of an entire army that was waiting to ambush them. Mongolian commander saw Long Ji and said with a bright smile on his face.
“It really is Tang State’s Major General Long Ji, ha ha. I have been waiting for you for quite a long time!”
He laughed like a madman: “I must say that I am quite confused. You see, I hear rumors of Long Ji being a capable commander, but the present situation compels me to think otherwise. To me, you seem like an incompetent coward who is using his spirit entity again a boy, who has barely stepped into Zhenling realm. This is truly laughable, ridiculous, ha ha!”
As he was done ridiculing Long Ji, a crazily surging aura erupted from his body and spread in all directions.
All of a sudden, a wild ax spirit entity appeared behind him!
However, Long Yu sensed that this wild ax was just an ordinary grade Zhenling and not as strong as the Blood Dragon.
In other words, in a one on one battle, he most probably wouldn’t be able to defeat Long Ji.
“Man Xin.”
Long Ji recognized Man Xin and could not stop his complexion from changing.
He was not afraid of Man Xin, but the huge crowd of Mongolian soldiers was a big threat to him!
While facing several thousand soldiers at once, even he couldn’t kill them all.
“Since Long Ji likes the game of chase and kill, we would also like to give it a try.”
Man Xin laughed wildly while the wild ax spirit suddenly rotated at a very high speed and emitted strong winds which brushed past Long Yu and went in the direction of Long Ji!
“Everyone, besiege Long Ji!”
Man Xin issued the order, and within an instant, several senior generals and assistant generals immediately rushed toward Long Ji.historical
One of the senior generals was actually that bearded guy who fought with Bu Xing earlier. He summoned his stone hammer spirit and rushed toward Long Ji.
It seemed like this bearded senior general was the one who passed on all important information to Man Xin and hence they prepared an ambush here.
And many Mongolian soldiers, who were at Wudao ninth layer, immediately left the snow valley and took detours from all directions to besiege Long Ji.
Long Yu was actually surprised when he saw Mongolian senior generals brushing past him.
Could it be that these Mongolian soldiers did not consider him an enemy?
So this was an example of the so-called saying – enemy’s enemy is a friend.
Anyway, he was not planning to participate in this battle.
The lunar wings delimited a black streamer behind him and shot his body forward, toward the snow valley, while he conveniently used dragon prance to leap high into the sky and landed on the other side of the snow valley, bypassing the entire Mongolian army formation in one leap.
He was planning to head deeper into the bordering areas of Mongolian State!
Since now he was burdened with the charge of treason, he absolutely had no option of going back to Tang State.
“First, I must find my foster father and then find a way to go back safely with him.”
Long Yu had not forgotten his real motive. From the very beginning, his plan was to use the battle between these two armies as a way to sneak into Mongolian State to rescue Feng Longsong!
He was indeed framed for treason but he did not mind that, to be honest.
As long as he had Nine Hidden Dragon Mark, no matter where he was, he would be able to enhance his cultivation very quickly.
Even if he could not return to Tang State right now, one day he would come back. Then, he would find Long Ji and return the favor with interest!
