Chapter 7: The River Dragon King! The Hundred-Year Giant Turtle!
The reason he let her escape was, of course, deliberate on Zhang Beixuan’s part. Otherwise, that whip from earlier wouldn’t have just caused her flesh to scatter. It would have obliterated her completely!
Zhang Beixuan could tell that although the current ghost had a heavy evil aura, it was not the same as the residual energy on Li Shan from earlier. That energy was much stronger than what this female corpse possessed!
By letting her go, he knew she would seek help to survive. All he had to do was follow her, and it would lead him effortlessly to the lair of that fierce ghost.
Hmm.
He silently praised his cleverness. Zhang Beixuan stepped into the water without hesitation. With his level of cultivation, the river water posed no concern. A golden light surrounded his body. He glanced in the direction the female corpse had fled.
With a swift movement, he followed her!
Just a few short minutes later...The female corpse had swiftly swam to a cluster of rocks, a massive one at that, stretching for hundreds of feet. They snaked along, resembling half of a stone dragon. The female corpse stood at the head of this stone dragon and immediately began to call out desperately.
“Dragon King, please save me!” Her voice echoed, and, in response, there was movement within a massive cave.
“What dares disturb my serene meditation?” Came a chilling voice that reverberated through the riverbed. Following this voice, the head of the stone dragon suddenly split open, and in an instant, a terrifying aura spread out, laden with a dense aura of blood and malice. A figure clad in a massive shell appeared in the underwater realm.
“Dragon King, a Daoist is chasing me! It’s terrifying!” The female corpse, upon seeing the figure, approached, her face contorted in a look of fear. She even patted her chest and spoke in a coy manner.
“Some foul Daoist came from who knows where lusting after my body and insisted on capturing me.”
“I swore to resist and got injured in the process. After narrowly escaping, I rushed here to seek Your Highness’s help!”
The female corpse continued to speak, even squeezing out tears, wearing a pitiable expression on her face.
“What! There’s such a thing!” The figure heard her words and instantly became enraged. “Where is that foul Daoist? Let me, the River King, devour him!”
The River Turtle’s entire form moved instantly, charging towards Zhang Beixuan with a terrifying aura, much stronger than the previous female corpse. However, for Zhang Beixuan, it was still not enough. A surge of golden light erupted from him, and he moved as well. The two of them instantly collided.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion resonated from the point where the two clashed. The female corpse wore a slightly smug expression.
“A young Daoist dares to fight with the Dragon King. He doesn’t know his limits.”
However, right after she finished speaking, her pupils instantly contracted. She witnessed the River Turtle being sent flying backwards at an even faster speed, letting out a miserable scream.
Female corpse: “?”
What the hell just happened? Was he defeated with a single strike.?
The female corpse was utterly bewildered, and the River Turtle was equally dumbfounded. They couldn’t believe that they had been sent flying like that.
What the hell!
Following that was a burst of rage.
“Very well! Foul Daoist, you’ve angered me!”
But before it could finish its words, a streak of golden light appeared right in front of it. Immediately afterwards, a fist struck it in the face.
“Anger you? Don’t flatter yourself. You’re just an old snapping turtle with an oversized ego.”
Zhang Beixuan didn’t even give it a chance to respond. He unleashed a furious assault on the black-armoured man. He relied solely on physical strength, not utilising his cultivation. It must be said that this snapping turtle had thick skin! If it were the female corpse from earlier, she would have been beaten to death already.
“Enough!”
The man in the black robe roared, and a malevolent wind swept through the area.
