Chapter 0.28 Dragon Saint’s Three Flavors
“It’s the invincible Dragon Saint Ancestor!”
From the crowd on the ground, the number one fan, Little White Dragon, cheered joyfully.
“That demon wanted to use Senior Duoyu to threaten Master, forcing him not to go all out. He never imagined this would be a great opportunity for the Dragon Saint Ancestor to share Master’s burdens and act on his behalf! Moreover, the Dragon Saint Ancestor’s methods are thunderous and not as benevolent and magnanimous as Master’s!”
“You!”
At this moment, Fuling Mountain’s hairs stood on end. The slender and graceful silver-eyed woman beside him inexplicably instilled a strong sense of fear in him.
Just as he was about to counterattack and tear apart the captivating figure, an invisible palm fiercely slapped Fuling Mountain’s pale face.
“Boom!”
Fuling Mountain, clad in a black robe, plummeted like a meteor, smashing into the ground and burying himself deep within the earth.
Simultaneously, three ghost-like demonic hammers materialized above Qingyu’s head.
They were the same size as ordinary iron hammers, but the destructive power they contained far surpassed that of the giant hammer from before.
“You dare to show off such petty tricks?”
In an instant, Qingyu swung her palm. From her right, a ferocious and menacing skeletal dragon sprang into existence, swallowing the three demonic hammers in one gulp. Like an arch bridge, it then burrowed into the void to Qingyu’s left, disappearing without a trace.
It made one want to rub their eyes vigorously, suspecting they had seen wrongly.
Only Qin Gou and the now-reformed Fuling Mountain quickly concluded that this was likely a nascent form of the Profound Realm.
Fuling Mountain’s gaze darkened, filled with shock and anger. “Who exactly are you? How could a mere incipient Profound Realm, a newly promoted Realm Lord, so easily destroy my Evil General Hammer?”
“Who am I? Didn’t Master already introduce me quite clearly?” As she spoke, Qingyu looked at Qin Gou with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
“M-Master?”
Fuling Mountain’s pupils widened in horror. “How could there be spirit pets in the Realm Lord Realm in this world? Let alone one loyal to Qin Gou, who has fallen to such a weak state!”
“Idiot! If Master were to put in even a little seriousness, with a gentle flick of his finger, I would be sent flying and struggling to get up!”
Qingyu’s eyes were cold and clear as she said in a chilling voice, “But you misinterpreted his kindness, truly foolish! You want to know why my strength far surpasses ordinary standards? That’s because I am one of the only two cultivators in this world who have ever reached the limit of the Dharma Image Realm!”
“As the saying goes, accumulated strength bursts forth, and one attains divinity. But ultimately, I am merely following in Master’s footsteps, clumsily imitating him step by step.”
Fuling Mountain’s brows furrowed. “Although I cannot ascertain the truth of your words, I believe seeing is believing! Qin Gou is merely at the Dao Comprehension Realm now; an ant is an ant!”
“Dao Comprehension Realm? Heh…” Qingyu sneered dismissively.
“Qingyu, there’s no need to waste words with him. So what if I’m at the Dao Comprehension Realm now?” Qin Gou said calmly.
“Did you hear that? Master has already transcended the importance of so-called cultivation realms!” Qingyu blurted out.
“Dao Comprehension, Dharma Image, Realm Lord? So what? They are merely definitions of mortals, passing clouds. Master is clearly no longer in the same tier as us ordinary cultivators… For him to seriously engage you in a spellcasting battle would dirty his hands!”
Fuling Mountain: …
Qin Gou: …
It was clear that Little Fish had slept for too long, and her talking box had been pent up for too long. To fully awaken her and restore her usual demeanor would likely take a little more time.
“I do have a bit of belief now that you are merely a spirit pet under Qin Gou’s command,” Fuling Mountain suddenly narrowed his eyes and said. “You possess strength, yet you were so easily manipulated by me, unable to discern the battle situation, allowing me to complete my extensive secret preparations!”
“Heavenly Demon Chain!”
As soon as he spoke.
From the evil, pitch-black clouds teeming with lightning dragons, seven thick, long chains suddenly descended, connecting the sky and the earth.
Seeing this, although unsure of Fuling Mountain’s next scheme, Qingyu remained unfazed.
Even Qin Gou couldn’t help but let out a chuckle and looked directly at Fuling Mountain. “But have you considered another possibility? That… Little Fish has never taken your strength seriously from the beginning, which is why she has been so lenient with you.”
Fuling Mountain’s killing intent surged immediately, and he grinned maliciously. “Qin Gou, you don’t need to rush to your death. After I eliminate this person, you will be the next one I personally tear to shreds!”
“How bold!”
Qingyu’s eyes turned cold. The previously relaxed smile immediately vanished. Her figure, light and agile, instantly appeared beside Qin Gou, and she said softly, “Master, towards this scoundrel, may I use the ‘Second Style’ here?”
Qin Gou’s expression shifted slightly. “You want me to quickly protect Little White Dragon and the others, to avoid collateral damage?”
“Precisely.” She knew Qin Gou would understand her intentions easily, and immediately her face lit up with a smile. “Master understands me best. Besides, these moves were all inspired by Master himself!”
“Cough…” Qin Gou’s old face inexplicably turned red. “Let’s bring this up less often in the future.”
With that, Qin Gou stepped into the air without hesitation, quickly approaching the direction where Xiao Yan and the others were.
“Trying to escape?” Fuling Mountain shouted sternly, forming a giant, ferocious ghost-tiger head with a hand seal, roaring as it pursued Qin Gou.
“Boom!”
Qingyu extinguished the ghost-tiger with a single finger, her face ashen. “I’ll say it again, Master has no interest in fighting you. Your opponent right now is only me.”
At the same time, Qin Gou had arrived beside Xiao Yan and the others, smiling calmly. “Including Duoyu, everyone follow me and retreat a little further. Qingyu’s life-ending spirit art that she’s about to use has an extremely wide range and does not distinguish between friend and foe.”
“Master, is Ancestor Qingyu about to unleash her terrifying original spirit art again?!” Ao Banwei’s beautiful eyes lit up, asking excitedly.
“Original? Cough… Absolutely. It is indeed Little Fish’s unprecedented, self-created secret techniques. I am also very much looking forward to it!” Qin Gou nodded vigorously. However, he saw Ao Banwei and the others suddenly looking up at the sky above them with surprised expressions, and he couldn’t help but look up as well.
At this moment, the figures of Qingyu and Fuling Mountain could no longer be seen.
From some unknown time, large swathes of hazy white mist had completely obscured the entire sky. It was not just an obstruction to vision; even with a full probe using divine sense and spiritual power, not a single trace of life or sound could be detected within the white mist.
However, from the outside, one could clearly see the tails and heads of sea beasts occasionally emerging from the white mist, which was utterly astonishing.
In other words, it was as if a floating sea filled with endless killing intent had been brought to life.
“Is it ‘Braised’!? No, it seems very different from before,” Ao Banwei said with great curiosity.
At the same time, within the sea of mist, Qingyu could easily pinpoint Fuling Mountain’s location. Her red lips parted, and her words, like a divine decree, turned into reality, causing listeners’ souls to tremble.
“Dragon Saint’s Three Flavors, Second Style…”
“Steamed!”
