#117 - Resurrection
It was Liang Jin's first time being carried while flying.
Yu Linglong's lightness skill was extremely terrifying, having reached an unbelievable level.
To say she was flying was no exaggeration.
Although the elders of the Hualong Sect were also skilled in lightness, they occasionally needed to step on the canopy of trees to borrow strength.
But Yu Linglong didn't need to borrow strength at all; her body could float ten zhang in mid-air.
Especially while carrying a burly man like Liang Jin.
Liang Jin was surrounded by an invisible internal force, involuntarily following behind Yu Linglong as they flew towards Dragon Valley.
"Are the lightness skills of second-rank martial artists all this terrifying?"
Currently, Liang Jin was still at the early stage of the fifth rank, and he was already moving fast enough if he could quickly stabilize his fifth-rank status.
Soon.
They arrived at Dragon Valley.
Dragon Valley was a valley in the central area of Hualong Island.
The valley was filled with a type of poisonous snake called the Underworld Serpent.
There were tens of thousands of Underworld Serpents, and their venom was extremely potent; ordinary martial artists would certainly die from this poison.
Many materials for the Divine Dragon Hall required the venom of the Underworld Serpent.
One of the daily tasks was to feed these poisonous snakes.
At the same time, Dragon Valley had become an important trap defense zone on Hualong Island.
People unfamiliar with the terrain and inside information of Hualong Island would be lured to this place by misleading road signs on the island, eventually encountering the fate of being devoured by ten thousand snakes.
Ordinary people naturally wouldn't dare to trespass into such a dangerous place.
But Yu Linglong wasn't an ordinary person.
She seemed to know the location of the Divine Dragon, landing directly in the core area of Dragon Valley.
Here was a cave.
Disciples were already guarding the entrance, hurriedly saluting upon seeing Yu Linglong.
Yu Linglong then led Liang Jin directly into the cave.
The cave was filled with a fishy, foul stench, damp and cold.
They had barely taken two steps when they saw a giant snake coiled on the ground.
This snake was simply too big!
Liang Jin couldn't help but jump in fright when he first saw this snake.
When he originally saw the Divine Dragon portrait in the main hall, he thought there was exaggeration in the painting.
But now, witnessing it with his own eyes, he marveled that there was actually such a giant snake in this world!
The largest snake Liang Jin had seen in his previous life was a type of snake called the Titanoboa, which had been extinct for tens of millions of years.
Its body length could reach fifteen meters, and its weight could reach over one ton.
And the giant snake in front of him was over twenty-five meters long and weighed at least four tons!
For such a giant snake to swallow an adult was as easy as an ordinary python swallowing a chick.
Most astonishingly, a pair of fleshy horns grew on its head.
The fleshy horns were shaped like deer antlers, with scales covering the surface.
Only after seeing it with his own eyes could Liang Jin not help but marvel at the wonder of nature's creation.
In this world, there really was such a strange snake similar to the dragons in mythology.
It's just…
At this time, the giant snake looked to be in very poor condition.
It was coiled on the ground, motionless, completely listless, and couldn't even open its eyes.
Snakes were cold-blooded animals.
But the giant snake's body temperature was frighteningly high; even from a distance, one could see a layer of mist rising from the surface of the giant snake's body, all of which was water vapor evaporated by the excessively high body temperature.
These abnormal conditions all proved that there was indeed a big problem with this giant snake.
Next to the giant snake, two Divine Dragon Hall deacons were taking care of the giant snake with their disciples.
After seeing Yu Linglong's arrival, they hurriedly saluted:
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
Yu Linglong ignored them.
She came to the giant snake on her own accord and gently touched the giant snake's scales with her hand.
A trace of pity couldn't help but flash through her phoenix eyes.
To kill such a huge creature was inherently lamentable.
Moreover, Yu Linglong had to drink a bowl of the Divine Dragon's blood every year, which could be considered as having received the Divine Dragon's favor for more than ten years.
But now, the Divine Dragon was dying, and there was no way to save it within the sect.
Yu Linglong also needed freedom, so she could only helplessly take action.
"Divine Dragon, I'm sorry."
"You are already dying; please… fulfill me before you die!"
She silently recited in her heart.
Then, Yu Linglong raised her palm and fiercely struck down at the seven-inch spot of the Divine Dragon.
At the same time.
A group of elders also arrived at the cave.
They happened to see this scene of Yu Linglong taking action and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Sect Leader! Absolutely not!"
But it was too late.
Yu Linglong's palm had already struck the seven-inch spot of the Divine Dragon fiercely.
This palm, Yu Linglong held nothing back.
The initial sound produced was small.
Liang Jin only felt as if some kind of sound was emitted from under Yu Linglong's palm.
But the next second.
"Bang!!!!!"
A huge sonic boom suddenly erupted.
Accompanying the sonic boom was a terrifying shockwave.
The people around the Divine Dragon were knocked off their feet by the shockwave, crying out in pain.
Yu Linglong stood in the shockwave, her eyes cold, her long hair and skirt flying, like a goddess.
Upon seeing this, the elders revealed despair:
"It's over…"
The shockwave came quickly and went quickly.
The cave quickly became calm.
Suddenly.
The giant snake suddenly opened its mouth, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out.
The black blood seemed to be very hot, spurting onto the damp rock wall, actually scorching a patch of water vapor.
Everyone was shocked.
The Divine Dragon was forced to spit out blood?!
It's really over now!
The Dragon Keeper Elder was even more grief-stricken and angrily said:
"Now the Divine Dragon has no chance of surviving."
"Is it really that the heavens won't allow my Hualong Sect to complete the great task of restoring our country?"
Liang Jin's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
Restoring a country?
Restoring what country?
He realized that he seemed to have heard something extraordinary.
Could this Yu Linglong be… a female version of Murong Fu?
And this group of people from the Hualong Sect, could they be remnants of the previous dynasty?
Liang Jin had entered a den of thieves!
The newest and most complete novels are at [Liu] [9] [Shu] [Ba] [.] [Com] [First] [Release]!
Looking back at Yu Linglong, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The Divine Dragon was about to die, and everything was about to end.
She knew that freedom was at hand!
Following this, her gaze shifted, looking at Liang Jin with admiration.
Xiong Ba was really a good person.
He could even think of such a good method.
The Divine Dragon was killed by Yu Linglong, but Xiong Ba had to take the blame.
But Yu Linglong wasn't an ungrateful person.
She had already decided that after it was done, she would protect Xiong Ba's life no matter what.
On the other side.
After recovering from the shock, Enforcement Elder Li Xueqing immediately shouted sternly at Liang Jin:
"Xiong Ba, you good-for-nothing thief!"
"It seems that your purpose in painstakingly infiltrating my Hualong Sect has finally been achieved!"
"And your death is at hand!"
"Before you die, tell me who is the mastermind behind you?!"
"Otherwise, my poison techniques will make you wish you were dead!"
The other elders also surrounded Liang Jin.
They had already made up their minds that after forcing out the forces behind Liang Jin, even if the sect leader stopped them, they would definitely kill Liang Jin!
Whoever ruined their great cause of restoring the country deserved to die!
They would even cleanse the sect forces behind Liang Jin with blood, and a bloody storm would inevitably be set off in this world.
Just at this moment—
"Roar!!!!"
A clear dragon roar suddenly erupted.
The huge sound echoed back and forth on the stone walls of the cave.
In an instant, the cave was shaken so that broken stones rolled down.
Accompanying the dragon roar was an unmatched powerful aura.
The elders were suppressed by this aura, their expressions changing drastically, and they looked in shock at the Divine Dragon.
Even Yu Linglong, who was closest to the Divine Dragon, couldn't help but quickly retreat a few steps, looking at the Divine Dragon warily.
Only to see.
The Divine Dragon, who had been listless and coiled on the ground, suddenly became energetic after spitting out that mouthful of black blood.
Its huge body quickly moved, and its upper body actually stood upright.
Especially the pair of fleshy horns on the Divine Dragon's head actually emitted a faint light, appearing sacred yet mysterious.
Most unbelievably, there were actually four positions protruding under the scales on the abdomen of the Divine Dragon's body.
It was as if… limbs would grow out from these four protrusions in the future!
Most terrifyingly.
The Divine Dragon's aura actually changed from its previous dying and weak state, but was rapidly rising.
Yu Linglong couldn't help but be shocked:
"This…"
In the past, she was confident that she could kill the Divine Dragon alone.
But now, as the Divine Dragon's aura continued to rise, it actually gradually surpassed Yu Linglong.
At this time, facing the Divine Dragon, Yu Linglong actually felt that she had little chance of winning alone.
The Divine Dragon's condition was getting better and better, and its strength was getting stronger and stronger.
In the end, when the Divine Dragon's narrow vertical pupils swept towards everyone, everyone actually had a feeling of horror.
It was as if they were facing an existence of peerless power!
That kind of domineering aura made everyone feel a chill down their spines.
Subsequently.
The Divine Dragon's aura converged, and it actually gently wrapped around Yu Linglong, lightly licking Yu Linglong's palm with its forked tongue.
It was expressing goodwill.
In the Divine Dragon's view, it was Yu Linglong's palm on its seven-inch spot that saved its life.
And the elders, seeing that the always unruly Divine Dragon was so docile to Yu Linglong, were even more stunned.
Suddenly.
The Divine Dragon turned its head and left without warning.
Its huge body swam, quickly heading towards the depths of the cave.
The other elders worried that the Divine Dragon was a flash in the pan, and immediately wanted to follow.
"Don't go!"
The Dragon Keeper Elder suddenly shouted.
Only to see him staring at the four protrusions on the Divine Dragon's body, as well as the horns on its head emitting a faint light, his eyes filled with boundless joy and excitement.
"The Divine Dragon is… one step closer to transforming into a dragon!"
"It is now recuperating, just like a martial artist in closed-door cultivation!"
"When it finishes recuperating and leaves seclusion, I'm afraid its strength will reach the level equivalent to a first-rank martial artist!"
The Dragon Keeper Elder's voice was incomparably excited.
Although he wasn't the best veterinary doctor, he was the one who understood the Divine Dragon the most.
His words made the elders reveal astonishment.
Wasn't it said that the Divine Dragon was going to die?
How did it sound like the Divine Dragon was going to enter closed-door cultivation to prepare for a breakthrough?!
At this time.
The Dragon Keeper Elder's gaze turned to Yu Linglong again:
"Most commendable is…"
"The Divine Dragon has recognized our sect leader, and will definitely protect the sect leader completely on the island in the future."
"The sect leader on this island is equivalent to having a first-rank martial artist as a guard!"
"Even the previous sect leaders couldn't get the Divine Dragon's approval, but our sect leader did, which also proves that the sect leader is destined by fate, and the restoration of my Great Yu is in this generation!"
"It is truly that the heavens are blessing my Great Yu, that they have sent down such an auspicious omen!"
"Great Yu, there is hope for restoring the country!"
