Chapter 970: Pursue To Kill
Golden light—blinding golden light.
It was noble and elegant, capable of overshadowing everything in the world.
“The Dragon Phoenix Resonance!” The voice was extremely cold. The golden light instantly transformed into a dragon and a phoenix. They threw their heads back and roared, wreaking havoc in all directions. The ground collapsed, the mountains trembled, and a storm that could be seen with the naked eye swept out. Wherever it passed, everything was destroyed, and there was no sign of life.
He Jian took a deep look at Ou Yangming, who was at the center of the storm, and thought to himself, ‘Just which clan raised this freak?’
To be able to make the god of swords of the generation have such an epiphany, one could only imagine how shocked he was.
Nonetheless, He Jian’s speed was not the slightest bit slow. His body was like a sword, and he raised his hand to pick up Lil’ Lan and quickly walked to the outside. In a short moment, he dodged the endless might of the dragon and phoenix.
The dust dispersed and the land returned to peace. The entire tribe was completely annihilated by this attack.
Out of the hundreds of the Blood Horned Dragons, only a high-rank one was lucky enough to escape the range of this power.
As for the young master, it was lucky enough to use a defensive supreme treasure to avoid this disaster.
Of course, such an outstanding battle outcome had a lot to do with Ou Yangming’s strategy. He first used himself as bait to attract all the enemies over. He then used the Ancient Dragon Shield to block the attacks while covering their lines of sight at the same time. By the time he activated the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer’s skill, it was too late for the Blood Horned Dragons to leave even if they wanted to.
The surroundings were desolate and deathly silent.
Ou Yangming swept a glance and was satisfied. This was his first time using the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer’s skill, and the effect was unexpectedly good.
He flashed and went to He Jian’s side. His voice was ice-cold as he said, “Quickly chase! Today, not a single Blood Dragon can leave!” He did not know if it was because he was influenced by the power of the Dragon and Phoenix, but there was an unquestionable overbearing tone in his words.
He Jian held his longsword and pulled Lil’ Lan into his embrace. Then, he turned into a streak of white light and flashed out.
Ou Yangming followed closely behind, and his speed was incredibly fast.
In the sky, He Jian was like a skilled aerial hunter, not letting go of any trace. He frowned slightly and raised his hand to point toward the south. With a deep voice, he said, “Let’s go, over there!” Before he finished speaking, he took a step forward.
“Mm!” Ou Yangming nodded lightly.
His figure flashed, and he followed closely behind. He asked softly, “How could this foreign race be so rampant and stir up trouble within the Humans?”
He Jian gave him a deep look and explained, “This is the way of the world. The foreign race feeds on the Humans’ Bloodline Powers. There’s no way to reconcile the conflict between them and the Humans. The big aristocratic families and the big sects have formations to protect them, so those beasts could only pick on this small tribe. There are countless tragedies like this in the Big Ruins, and there are still many humans in their hands. It’s like harvesting wheat. When the time comes, they’ll cut them off.”
“What about the divine statue?” Ou Yangming asked.
“The divine statue has stood for 10,00 years. One day, it’ll break and shatter.” He Jian’s voice carried a hint of melancholy.
“What about the various aristocratic families? Aren’t they going to take care of it?” Ou Yangming’s voice carried a hint of resentment.
“The conflicts between the aristocratic families are intense. They’re almost unable to take care of themselves so how are they going to take care of it? Besides, the foreign race always attacks at the edge of unknown regions. Even if the aristocratic families rush over, they’ll retreat into unknown regions. That’s where their headquarters are!” As He Jian spoke, his body seemed to have become a little hunched, and he felt helpless. Even if he had a heart for the common people and wanted to save the world, what use was there for him to do it alone? Moreover, he was not a Venerable One.
Ou Yangming swung his palm in the air, and spiritual Qi exploded. He said coldly, “One day, I’ll wipe out all the foreign races.”
If someone else had said these words, He Jian would have scoffed and laughed at his overestimation. Nevertheless, since it came from Ou Yangming, it sounded powerful.
Furthermore, He Jian had seen the Heavenly Phoenix Fire and could understand what kind of great power it was.
It could destroy the world and save the common people.
In the sky, the young master of the Blood Dragon Clan had almost turned into a star trace. Due to its speed, even space was pressing toward it.
‘Faster, faster!’ It growled internally. From time to time, it would look back. Only when it did not see its fiend did it heave a sigh of relief.
At the same time, its hatred for Ou Yangming reached its peak. If it was not for him, things would not be like this.
It made up its mind that after returning to the clan this time, it would surely find this person and dismember him into thousands of pieces.
The young master had almost never hated a person so much. It was the young master of the Blood Horned Dragon Clan and had a trace of the Dragons’ bloodline, but it was being pursued by such a lowly human. This made it unable to bear it.
“Pfft!” It spat at the ground.
The red light on his body faded. It had used up all its secret techniques, and it had slowed down a lot.
At this time, a cold snort sounded behind it. “Hmph! You’re really fast. Didn’t you want to eat my heart while you have some drinks? I’m standing here now so come and take it!”
When the voice echoed, it made the young master’s face change. Almost every scale on its body stood up. All along, it had always held the power of life and death. Now, it was forced into a dead-end instead. As it rushed into the distance, it threatened, “I’m the Blood Horned Dragon Clan’s young master, Dong Ruyu. If you dare to touch me at all, the Blood Horned Dragon Clan will certainly make your life a living hell! Why don’t you let me go? I’ll let bygones be bygones for today’s matter. What do you think?”
If Ou Yangming was willing to believe this, his head must have been stuck in the door.
Despite that, he said, “Okay. Stop running away and let’s have a good talk. When the time comes, it’s not impossible for us to have a drink together.”
Dong Ruyu was not willing to stop. It sped up and flew towards the horizon.
Ou Yangming and He Jian followed behind. Whenever the young fellow was about to catch up, the young master would always take out a secret treasure from its inferior interspatial bag and increase its speed instantly. Following that, it would pull the distance apart without using the Blood Flight, thus Ou Yangming could not catch up for a while. As such, they could only compete with the densities of the spiritual Qi in their dantians.
In mid-air, Ou Yangming separated his fingers and raised his right hand. He pressed his index finger in the air and uttered coldly, “Cold!”
As his voice reverberated, his index finger turned green and pointed forward. 2 finger winds that carried boundless cold air blasted out. One blocked Dong Ruyu’s path of retreat while the other headed straight for its heart. They were so fast that it was difficult to dodge them.
Dong Ruyu felt a chill in its heart as it twisted its body.
Having said that, it was still struck in the back by the finger wind. A bone-chilling chill seeped out from its bone marrow. Even its blood was frozen and turned into small ice beads. This method was a derivative of an ice-mastery spell, and it was very effective in pursuit.
Dong Ruyu shivered as it turned its body around and spat out a mouthful of cold mist. The pain in its eyes had reached its peak. The interspatial bag lit up once again as a blood-colored talisman lit up. It raised its hand and pushed it outwards. Numerous thunderbolts rolled over like rain and blocked in front of the Ou Yangming and He Jian, once again increasing the distance between them.
“Hmph, as expected of the young master of the Blood Horned Dragon Clan. You sure have many life-saving methods, but the cold air has seeped into your bone marrow. I’d like to see how far you can run!” Ou Yangming sneered. He had made up his mind that he would kill this Blood Horned Dragon even if he had to chase it to the ends of the earth.
After 2 hours, the sky had already darkened.
The surroundings were lonely. It was full of rocks and gravel. There was not even a hint of green. Everything that could be seen with the naked eye was filled with devastation.
In the distance, there were pitch-black mists, which looked like a ferocious beast that had come from ancient times to devour people.
The scales on Dong Ruyu’s body dimmed. It looked miserable. If curses could kill people, then Ou Yangming would have died dozens of times.
At this moment, Ou Yangming’s wrist made a crisp sound. Subsequently, 3 exquisite short knives were already hidden in his sleeve. The patterns on them were complicated.
The color of the short knives was especially pale red. They seemed to have been smeared with poison, and they gave people a gloomy feeling.
At this moment, the spiritual Qi in Ou Yangming’s dantian flowed along his veins. The muscles on his arms bulged, and he gathered his Qi and exhaled. With a flash of thought, he threw them out and locked them onto Dong Ruyu’s heart.
“Woosh, woosh, woosh…”
The sound of air being torn apart was heard, particularly when they pierced the air.
Next, the complicated patterns on the short knives instantly brightened up, pushing aside the surrounding air and absorbing spiritual Qi.
At the same time, they spun non-stop, allowing their speed to reach an unbelievable level.
3 circular arcs approached in an instant. Dong Ruyu only felt waves of piercing pain in its heart. Given that it was a life or death situation, it did not have time to think too much.
Its interspatial bag shone brightly, reaching an unprecedented level. It grabbed with its claws, then a long saber appeared in its hand. Without any care, it used the long saber as a cudgel and swung it outwards.
“Boom!” The long saber and the short knives collided, and the sound of metal clashing spread out.
2 of the exquisite short sabers were sent flying away by the huge force!
The last one suddenly changed its position in mid-air. At this point, Dong Ruyu discovered that the handle of the knife was actually connected to a thin thread of spiritual Qi. Ou Yangming did not know how to control a sword, so he could only use this stupid method.
“No…” Dong Ruyu screamed shrilly, and its eyes were filled with fear.
It quickly twisted her body, wanting to avoid this attack.
However, Ou Yangming raised his hand and pointed. The direction of the short knife changed and directly cut off Dong Ruyu’s claw.
He sneered. “When you hung the child on the mast, did you ever think of this? What goes around comes around!” Before his voice went away, his right hand pressed down again. The trajectory of the short knife was formless and unpredictable, but it was exceptionally sharp. It directly pierced a hole in Dong Ruyu’s lower abdomen, causing fresh blood to flow out.
Dong Ruyu’s eyes were bloodshot, and its eyes were filled with madness and ruthlessness. “They were just lowly people—a bunch of lowly ants. How could their mottled Bloodline Powers compare to mine!” It grinned and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Stubborn!”Ou Yangming shook his head and pointed with his crooked finger, aiming directly at Dong Ruyu’s heart.
At this moment, something odd happened. It lowered its body and withdrew all the spiritual Qi in its body, falling from the sky.
“Trying to escape?” As soon as Ou Yangming had this thought…
A ruthless voice suddenly came from the sky. “If anyone hurts my son, I’ll exterminate his entire family!”
