Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

The fair face of the mermaid twisted in pain.

“It hurts!”

Blood beads rolled down her eyes. Even with her eyes closed, the sword light that transcended heaven and earth still lingered in her pupils.

Her pupils contracted in waves, causing intense pain.

Ao Feng ignored the whimpering from the mermaid by his side and cautiously opened his eyes.

He stared at the rapidly retreating Shu Xiaoxiao, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Spiritual Sea Realm at the seventh level, such a sword light is astonishingly shocking.

I took quite a while to rid the sword light from my eyes just by witnessing this technique, what if I were to face it directly?

His limbs were slightly trembling, and terror crept into his heart.

Even he, at the third level of the Transfiguration Realm, dared not to claim that he could escape unscathed if directly hit by this move.

This terrifying combat power was far superior to Jiang Yuan’s, even more defying the natural order.

If she reaches the Divine Bridge Realm, forget about me, even those great demons at the later stage of Transfiguration wouldn’t dare to take her sword head-on.

Thinking of this, Ao Feng’s determination was solidified.

This woman must be killed, and she has a higher priority than even Jiang Yuan.

He then stood up, slowly opened his mouth, and spoke with an imposing demeanor.

“How dare you kill my subordinate! In that case, your servant and you will become sacrifices for my subordinate!”

As his voice fell, Ao Feng instantly revealed his true form.

Roar

A dragon’s roar echoed in fury. His body revealed its real nature, a powerful wave of demonic aura ravaged the surrounding and a terrifying pressure permeated the air.

[Name]: Ao Feng

[Realm]: Transfiguration Realm, Third Level

[Innate qi movement]: Dragon Clan Bloodline (Blue) Sea Dragon Body (Blue) Master of the Water Veins (Blue) Qi and Blood like a River (Blue) Mastery of Water Control (Green)…

Jiang Yuan glanced at his Status Panel as well.

Despite Ao Feng being kilometers away, everyone there felt their hearts drop and their breaths grew heavier.

“Transfiguration — Third — Level!” Situ Hao’s pupils suddenly contracted, announcing each word distinctly.

“What? This Sea Dragon is actually a great demon at the third level of Transfiguration!” someone exclaimed in horror.

The crowd was stirred.

They originally thought that this Sea Dragon, still staying within the third layer of the Pearl Cave, was at the initial stage of the Transfiguration Realm. It was quite possible that, like Situ Hao, he was at the first level of Transfiguration.

But now, with Situ Hao’s announcement and the terrifying pressure emanating from the Sea Dragon, they were hit with the realization that this Sea Dragon was in fact at the third level of Transfiguration.

Being a Sea Dragon in his original form, possessing the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, and having reached the third level of Transfiguration, how could this possibly be defeated?

The people’s gazes turned towards Situ Hao.

Feeling their gazes, Situ Hao shook his head: “Even if I join the fight, it will be of no use!”

Elsewhere.

The Azure Sea Dragon’s body coiled in.

In an instant, fierce gales blew and thunder growled, dense clouds rolled in, and the sky turned dark.

The previously clear sky suddenly turned stormy.

Then he moved, speeding towards Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan turned towards the people in the distance and said, “Daoist brothers, please fight this enemy with me! If lips are gone, teeth will feel the cold!”

“I will fight!” one person roared, stepping forward.

But then he turned around to see everyone else silent, shrinking back.

He felt as though he had been doused with cold water, his heroism evaporating instantly.

“Brother Liu, going in will only lead to death! That’s a great demon at the third level of Transfiguration. Even if we all go in, it will be useless!” someone suggested.

Ao Feng, seeing this scene from afar, scoffed: “Dream on! You either run now, or stay here waiting for death! Could those little rats dare to take action against me.”

His words, accompanied by resounding thunder and the force of nature, echoed loud and clear in everyone’s ears.

Upon hearing his words, everyone’s faces turned pale and then green.

In the outside world, they were well-known prodigies, each one commanding immense respect.

Reaching their stage, achieving the Divine Bridge Realm was a foregone conclusion.

And upon entering the Divine Bridge Realm, they would be among the strong ones, some even possibly capable of achieving the Dharma Realm in the future.

Under these circumstances, even the established cultivators in the Divine Bridge Realm treated them with high courtesy when they faced them.

But the words of the Sea Dragon belittled them, as if they were nothing more than weeds on the roadside.

Even so, as much as they’re indignant, they didn’t dare to respond.

Because a Sea Dragon at the third level of Transfiguration was too terrifying.

The crushing superiority of that huge Realm, as well as its powerful racial bloodline, revealed a gap that couldn’t be bridged with mere numbers.

Their attacks might not even break through his outer scale defense.

Their proud signature skills would probably seem like tickles on him.

That was why they didn’t dare to refute him. This gap was too big that it made them feel timid.

Jiang Yuan, seeing this, showed a slight smile.

Very good, I can do this with a clear conscience later.

His gaze then turned to the advancing Ao Feng.

He saw him rushing over in mid-air at high speed.

His form wasn’t here yet, but the mighty dragon’s might had already weighed down on Jiang Yuan’s body.

This made Jiang Yuan feel a heavy pressure, and the peak under his feet instantly revealed a crack.

Such a strong dragon’s might, Jiang Yuan murmured in his heart, we can understand why they are so cautious.

Under such a might, in addition to the vast suppression force of this layer of the Pearl Cave,

The prodigies in the Spiritual Sea Realm can probably only lay on the ground.

He shook his head slightly, turning towards Mu Qianru and said, “Take good care of her!”

Jiang Yuan’s form unexpectedly leaped up into the air, heading towards the fast-approaching Ao Feng.

“Well done!” Ao Feng, seeing Jiang Yuan’s figure soaring into the sky, applauded: “You have more guts than those people, daring to act against me; that is commendable courage.”

Jiang Yuan then stopped in the high skies, silently awaiting for his approach.

Simultaneously, the Yin-Yang paired swords quietly approached the black python underneath the ground.

This was his intention: to lure Ao Feng away from the mountain peak and the black python.

Only by doing so, could he ensure the successful killing of the black python, avenging Senior Brother Xu Bai.

Before this, with the distance between the black python and Ao Feng, Jiang Yuan dared not to act rashly.

Because Ao Feng, being at the third level of Transfiguration, and having the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, was not weak.

If he made a reckless sneak attack on the black python, he would easily be intercepted by Ao Feng.

There is only one chance for such an opportunity. Once the black python becomes alert,

With Ao Feng’s obstruction, the black python is likely to activate the Small Movement Charm and escape.

Jiang Yuan did not want to cause extra trouble, so he undertook such an action.

Looking at the increasingly approaching figure of Ao Feng.

It’s almost time!

Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

A thought arose.

Boom

The Yin Yang Mother-Son Sword, which had been hidden underground for a long time, suddenly erupted, emitting the thunderous sound of a sword’s hum.

The brown pupils in Black Python’s eyes, standing upright, instantly contracted drastically, filled with incredible horror.

So, he had lured the master away, all for this moment.

He felt desperate, howling in his heart.

I hate this so much!

Soon after, a wave of regret surged in his heart.

If only he hadn’t strayed into the territory of the Supreme Mystery Sect. Then he would not have been noticed by this monster and would not have ended like this.

Hearing the sound of the sword’s hum near her ears, the mermaid atop Python’s head suddenly froze in place, her heart stopped beating.

Ao Feng also swung his head around abruptly.

This is bad!

He was shocked internally.

Watching as that Yin Yang Mother-Son Sword broke through the ground, he was powerless to stop it.

This distance, it shattered all of his thoughts.

No matter how fast, he wouldn’t make it in time.

The anger in his heart suddenly surged.

Compared to the death of the cow demon, the imminent fall of the Black Python intensified his anger even more.

Because behind this Black Python stood a mighty Ancestral Master.

He was highly valued by the Ancestral Master of the Python tribe, as could be seen from the high-grade spiritual treasure he was gifted.

Such a spiritual treasure, not even a cultivator in the Dharma Realm might possess.

The Ancestral Master himself, though a great cultivator of the Dharma Realm, was willing to bestow such a high-grade spiritual treasure to him, indicating his affection.

Under these circumstances, with Black Python acknowledging him as the master and falling under his protection inside the Pearl Cave, his status might also be affected to some extent.

Thinking of all these, how could he not be enraged!

Boom!!

A thunderous roar.

Under the watchful eyes of Ao Feng, the Yin Yang Mother-Son Sword instantly penetrated Black Python’s skull.

Its immense kinetic force and the chilling light of the sword instantly tore Black Python’s skull into blood mist.

At the same time, the residual force spread and shaved off half a mountain peak.

The breath of Black Python slowly faded, and its high-arched skull also fell heavily.

It crashed into the soil, stirring a wave of dust.

With the fading of his aura, this formidable Black Python, at this moment, was clearly dead beyond any doubt.

Even if a Saint were here, facing this scene, it would be beyond salvation.

Outrage flared instantly in Ao Feng’s eyes, and he laughed in wrath.

“Good! Very good! I admire your courage!”

“When my turn comes, I will crush you bit by bit, making you yearn for life and death!”

As his words fell.

There was an instant roar.

Hum

His body rapidly approached Jiang Yuan.

All of a sudden.

At the feet of the crowd, a lake exploded with streams of water piercing the sky.

Another lake nearby also surged with a giant water column straight into the sky.

In a split second, waters from both lakes were emptied and sucked dry.

Thousands of acres of water floated mid-air, enveloping Ao Feng for several miles.

He swiftly attacked Jiang Yuan, carrying along thousands of acres of water.

Staying within several miles of him, he left only the pure energy of the water rule.

Seeing this scene, the crowd promptly fled in different directions.

They knew that once Ao Feng got rid of Jiang Yuan, it would be their turn.

Ao Feng was in a rage now, and no one could stop him.

Even if everyone teamed up, it would be of no use!

In this situation, to survive, their only option was to seize this chance to run.

Taking advantage of his fight with Jiang Yuan to escape was their only chance at survival.

At this moment, as Situ Hao was about to leave, he took a glance at Jiang Yuan in the sky.

He hesitated slightly, then said, “Brother Jiang, don’t linger, try to escape as soon as possible! Ao Feng is not someone we can contend with!”

After he finished speaking, he manipulated the energy of heaven and earth and prepared to leave with the green-dressed woman.

“Wait, please take Brother Lin too!” the green-robed woman quickly said.

Situ Hao glanced at the young man with a white face and hesitated, but after seeing the delicate face of the green-dressed woman.

He deflated a bit: “Fine!”

With a wave of his hand, the energy of heaven and earth instantly swept them up, and they fled rapidly towards the distance.

Jiang Yuan saw the scene of the crowd scattering below him and smiled faintly.

There’s no rush, once I deal with Ao Feng, they will certainly come back.

Looking at Ao Feng holding the thousands of acres of water towards him, Jiang Yuan’s eyes showed a gleam of war.

Bring it on!

Let me see just how strong the physical body of the Sea Dragon Clan is.

If it can match mine!

Looking at the fighting spirit in Jiang Yuan’s eyes, Ao Feng was somewhat shocked.

Jiang Yuan still had such confident eyes; he couldn’t be underestimated.

A moment later.

A vast expanse of water instantly enveloped Jiang Yuan.

The figures of the two instantly disappeared from the crowd’s sight.

The fleeing crowd, seeing this, kept running without looking back.

Only by escaping far enough could they be barely considered safe.

No one wanted to perish in this Pearl Cave.

If Ao Feng won, he would surely embark upon a large-scale slaughter; no one doubted this.

The flesh and blood of the Demon Tribe were considered a great supplement to the human race.

The same could be said the other way around.

A human body was also a kind of great medicine, a large humanoid medicine.

This was one of the roots of the incompatibility between the human and demon races.

Faced with such temptation, some people couldn’t help themselves, and the friction between the two races would naturally intensify.

So, they didn’t want to die at the hands of Ao Feng, become his food. Their best option was to keep running, the farther the better.
