Chapter 154: Unrestrained, true dragon's power

Chapter 154: Unrestrained, true dragon's powerThe short man was named Tie Xiong, and the tall, strong man was named Tie Niu.

The two were brothers and founders of the Iron Mountain Gang, a faction in the Qin Kingdom.

The reason it was called the Iron Mountain Gang was that the Qin Kingdom only allowed one sect, the Heavenly Puppet Sect, while others could only be called gangs.

Just a week ago, they were informed that they were allowed to rename themselves as the Iron Mountain Sect and expand into the Chu Kingdom, with a large amount of resources provided, which delighted the two brothers.

Without hesitation, they led their gang members to the Southern Region of the Chu Kingdom.

The third-tier magical treasure before them, Mountain-Covering Mud, was one of the resources they received.

This item was highly effective against clumsy, strength-type demonic beasts, specifically designed to kill the Elephant Tribe.

"Roar!!"

Man Jin let out an earth-shattering roar, terrifying sound waves swept through, causing the Mountain-Covering Mud to tremble continuously. Instead of being shaken off, it spread rapidly, growing even larger.

"Hahaha, useless, useless, useless!"

Tie Niu laughed heartily, never feeling so exhilarated.

Just arriving in the Southern Region, they were about to kill a Golden Core giant elephant, an unprecedented sense of achievement.

At this moment, it seemed that Man Jin swallowed something.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!!"

From within the Mountain-Covering Mud, two tusks suddenly shot up, piercing through with terrifying speed.

"What kind of move is this?"

Tie Niu's eyes widened as he retreated rapidly. Fortunately, they were prepared and kept a safe distance, easily avoiding the tusks that grew explosively.

…………

Deep in Wu Mountain.

There was a huge pool, nestled in a valley, its surface calm as a mirror, with no visible bottom.

No matter if a breeze blew or a stone was thrown in, the water's surface wouldn't ripple even slightly. The area was desolate, with not a single bird or beast in sight.

Who knows how much time passed.

A vulture landed on a crooked tree by the pool and said, "Master Demon Lord, after ten thousand years, the Divine Puppet Sect has returned."

The voice echoed.

After a long while, the pool, calm for ten thousand years, finally rippled slightly.

"Divine Puppet Sect... such distant memories."

An ancient voice slowly emerged, as if traversing the river of time, coming from the depths of history.

The vulture chuckled, "They want to retrieve the third-generation ancestor's belongings. What do you think?"

At that moment, a water column shot out from the pool, gradually condensing into a small humanoid form.

It was a baby, slowly growing into a child, then into a young man.

The young man opened his eyes, walked out of the pool naked, and his cultivation rapidly ascended from a mortal to the Qi Refining Stage, then to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Soon, his dantian's spiritual foundation compressed, true qi transformed into true essence, forming a Golden Core, reaching the Core Formation Stage.

Then, the Golden Core transformed into an infant form, the Elemental Infant stage!

But it wasn't over; the Elemental Infant rushed towards the young man's crown, seemingly to merge with his divine sense.

"Master Demon Lord, enough, enough! It's just a branch of the Divine Puppet Sect, the Heavenly Puppet Sect!"

The vulture hurriedly shouted.

"You should have said so earlier!"

The young man complained, and the Elemental Infant immediately shrank back, as if time reversed, turning back into a Golden Core, stopping at the Great Perfection of the Core Formation Stage.

The young man took out a green robe and put it on, saying, "It's been a long time since I went out. How do I look?"

The vulture scrutinized him for a moment and said, "Master Demon Lord, your form is fine, but you look too young."

"What, should I become an old man?" the young man frowned, displeased.

The vulture trembled and quickly corrected, "No, no! You are still young, this is just right."

The green-robed young man nodded in satisfaction.

He pondered for a moment and quickly asked, "By the way, I haven't been out for ten thousand years. Will I be out of touch with the world? What if people say I'm inexperienced?"

"Also, what spells are modern people good at? Are there still many body cultivators?"

"What should I do to act like a senior expert?"

The young man continued to speak tirelessly.

The vulture smiled wryly, "Just say less."

"Sigh! Going out is such a hassle, sleeping is better."

The young man sighed, reluctantly walking into the distance.

…………

At the edge of the Wild Giant Elephant Tribe's territory.

Xu Hei rushed over from mid-air, seeing the battle ahead from afar.

"Humans again?"

Xu Hei's face darkened, and without hesitation, he used the jade slip left by the Purple Lightning Thunder Lion.

No matter what happened, calling for help was never wrong.

He used his divine sense to scan the area, finding two Core Formation stage cultivators and about twenty Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, with no one else nearby, not even the Snake Catchers Sect.

Xu Hei's eyes flickered; these two Core Formation stage individuals were strangers to him, not recognizing him.

This meant Xu Hei could act swiftly, cooperating with Man Jin to take down these two.

"Wait! Don't be impulsive!"

Xu Hei frowned, sensing something was off.

Previously, when he, Man Jin, and the Purple Lightning Thunder Lion attacked Rock Serpent City, it was surely known that he was associated with the Elephant Tribe.

So, could this attack on the Elephant Tribe be a trap to lure him out?

The Purple Lightning Thunder Lion hadn't appeared; could it have been attacked too?

Ever since Qin Xuanji appeared, Xu Hei had been uneasy, feeling watched. During the previous war between the two kingdoms, they had no time for him, but now, they were clearly devoting some effort to searching for him.

From the moment Qin Xuanji appeared, his divine sense targeted him, and Xu Hei noticed.

Humans are cunning, and as a key figure in the Qin Kingdom's forces, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, Qin Xuanji was no simple character.

Such an existence, any move could be a trap.

Xu Hei took a deep breath, calmly considering his options. He couldn't just watch Man Jin be killed; he had to do something while ensuring he wasn't exposed.

Should he take the Transformation Pill and charge in?

No, impossible!

Xu Hei highly suspected that at this moment, anyone appearing to help Man Jin would prompt Qin Xuanji to emerge.

What should he do?

Qin Xuanji clearly wanted to capture him; it was an open scheme!

If he didn't show up, Man Jin would die!

Xu Hei felt unprecedented pressure, taking out the jade disk Hei Huang gave him. As expected, there was only this group of red dots in front of him, the enemy hidden well.

At this moment, Man Jin was under increasing pressure, the Mountain-Covering Mud already enveloping him entirely, trapping him, allowing only slow movement.

"Just wait for death!" Tie Niu sneered.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a cold gleam shot from the shadows.

A figure burst out from hiding, revealing itself, a sword gleaming as it slashed at Tie Niu's back, only to spark slightly.

Tie Niu glanced back, seeing an unremarkable young man, only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, unable to break his defense.

This person had been lurking nearby, unnoticed.

"Die!"

Tie Niu hesitated for just a second before swinging a palm to crush Xiao Chou's head.

"Boom!!"

A deafening collision echoed. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, it wasn't Xiao Chou's head that was hit, but Tie Niu's head.

A long black shadow appeared instantly before Tie Niu, almost simultaneously with Xiao Chou.

It was a big black snake.

However, this snake's movement was so stealthy that he only saw Xiao Chou, not Xu Hei!

Without giving him any chance to react, a thick, scale-covered tail whipped fiercely at Tie Niu's face.

"Smack!!!"

The power of dragon bones and dragon scales combined erupted completely, smashing Tie Niu's face, blood splattering, teeth shattering. With a loud bang, Tie Niu spun in the air, flying back, crashing into a mountain rock.

The scene drew everyone's attention, faces aghast.

"Big brother!" the short Tie Xiong exclaimed.

"Boom!"

Tie Niu quickly burst out from the rock, his expression terrifying.

At this moment, his face was no longer recognizable, eyes, nose, and features all smashed, bones exposed.

Thanks to his cultivation of the Iron Mountain Sect's special technique, his physical body was extremely tough, preventing his head from being blown apart. Otherwise, anyone else might have lost their head from such a blow.

He was careless! He never expected the snake to be so fast, its physical attack so terrifying!

Tie Xiong's eyes flickered slightly as he took out a token.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Tie Niu stopped him, coldly saying, "Don't rush, let me deal with this snake!"

Tie Xiong nodded, putting the token away.

He knew his big brother was truly enraged.
