Chapter 247 Two Dead, One Escaped, Their Might Shakes the Four Seas!

In the southeastern sea area, towering waves surged.

The entire sea area was like a pot of boiling water, constantly steaming.

The marine life in this area was also unlucky.

The blazing white blade light collided violently with the raging ice and lightning, and the resulting shockwave compressed the entire sea area into a concave dome. Fish within a radius of a hundred miles instantly vaporized, and coral reefs turned into dust.

The sea monsters at the Outer Qi Realm shattered their scales and their demon cores broke into specks of light as soon as they touched the energy turbulence, and the entire sea area was briefly transformed into a vacuum dead zone.

The black and white dragons, head to tail, coiled in a tai chi formation on the boiling sea.

The Xuan Yin Thunder Essence spewed by the Black Dragon Ao Zhang condensed into the black fish at the array's core, while the ten thousand ice scales peeled off by the White Dragon Ao Qin transformed into white fish array patterns.

The moment the altar, shaped like a tai chi symbol, took shape, the sea beneath Zheng Jun's feet suddenly collapsed!
The collapse was extremely rapid; in the blink of an eye, everything was gone.

Zheng Jun reacted quickly. The moment the sea beneath his feet collapsed, his azure gold true essence exploded from his body, surging upwards like a volcanic eruption!

"cut!"

Zheng Jun snorted coldly, pressed down with his left palm, and the crimson-gold halo behind him suddenly split, condensing into twelve golden crows of light like arrows. The moment Zheng Jun slashed with his right hand, the arrows and blades shot out simultaneously, pointing directly at the black and white Tai Chi array eye!

The sword flashed against the sky, and the arrow shot out like the sun falling. The golden crow's arrow pierced the sky and arrived. Wherever the blazing light passed, even the deep sea was scorched red!
Upon seeing this, the Black Dragon Ao Zhang immediately moved like thunder, his body surging with Xuan Yin lightning like a raging torrent, rushing towards the Golden Crow Arrow!
"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the Xuan Yin lightning surrounding the black dragon collided with the rain of swords and arrows. Instantly, it was as if ten thousand years of ice had been exposed to the blazing sun. The lightning surged, dissipated, and transformed into countless purple lightning fragments that hissed and vanished into nothingness.

The black dragon's reverse scales burst open, and hundreds of blood streaks burst out from between its pitch-black scales, but it returned to normal in an instant.

"You two mudskippers, just come at me together! Why are you putting on such a show?"

Zheng Jun faced the fierce winds at sea, sword in hand, and looked at the black and white dragons. He roared, "Today I will tell you, if you two mudfish cannot kill me, when I return, I will attack Zhongjiang and Chizhangchuan, slaughter the dragons of both places, just like the Dragon Court of Jiangzhou, and exterminate the dragons!"

Upon hearing this, Erlong was furious!
Zhongjiang Dragon King roared in anger, his frost-like aura intensifying: "Zheng Jun, if you continue like this, you will be mortal enemies with my dragon clan!"

"Aren't we already locked in a life-or-death struggle? Otherwise, what are we doing now?"

Zheng Jun sneered and said coldly, "I have obtained the 'Radiant Sun'. You all see me as a thorn in your side, and I see you as a nail in my flesh!"

His feud with the Dragon Clan of this world began the moment he obtained the 'Radiant Sun Flowing Photovoltaic Dragon Blade Technique,' and there was no room for reconciliation.

Zheng Jun knew very well that even if he didn't come to their door to kill them...

When they conquer the south in the future, these dragons will also spare no effort to help the southern lords resist them.

The reason is simple: there have been past examples.

That's how it was when the Great Zhou Emperor Shenwu conquered the world.

Because the Yu Dynasty royal family's "Radiant Sunlight" was too targeted at the dragon race, after the death of Emperor Taizu of Yu, the surviving dragons all helped the feudal lords to wipe out the Great Yu.

With this leap, the Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas ascended to the highest position.

Therefore, they had long been mortal enemies.

The two dragons, Chizhangchuan Dragon King and Zhongjiang Dragon King, were filled with rage and murderous intent.

Both of them knew that even if they formed this formation now, they could only severely injure Zheng Jun at most. As long as Zheng Jun didn't do anything stupid, they wouldn't be able to kill him!

Therefore, in their ears, Zheng Jun's words were a blatant threat.

It's to tell them to be careful of their own descendants!

Although I was furious, there was nothing I could do.

All they can do now is to severely injure Zheng Jun, forcing him to return to recuperate, thus buying time for the descendants of Chi Zhangchuan and Zhongjiang to escape to the South China Sea.

Upon realizing this, the Black and White Dragon Kings immediately launched an attack, viciously striking Zheng Jun!

The fierce battle between Zheng Jun and the Black and White Dragons intensified, as if the sea and sky were being torn to shreds by the violent energy.

Each collision between the blazing white blade and the raging waves of ice and thunder triggered a deafening explosion, tearing the sea surface into deep trenches thousands of feet deep. The seawater on both sides froze like cliffs, only to be crushed into dust by the subsequent shockwaves.

The Black Dragon Ao Zhang's Profound Yin Thunder Essence and the White Dragon Ao Qin's Extreme Cold Ice Domain intertwined to form a net of destruction, yet they were still unable to break through the defense of the crimson-gold halo surrounding Zheng Jun.

"boom!"

Zheng Jun suddenly changed his move, and the Dragon Abyss Blade flew out of his hand, transforming into a ferocious blood dragon that roared and pounced on the white dragon Ao Qin.

At the same time, Zheng Jun clasped his hands together, and the illusory emperor behind him suddenly solidified. The illusory figure wearing a twelve-tassel crown raised his hand and pressed down, as if the space of the entire sea area was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand!

"Um?!"

Upon seeing this, both dragons were stunned, their pupils suddenly shrinking.

But soon, he breathed a sigh of relief.

They were indeed startled, thinking that Zheng Jun had condensed the Dharma form of the 'Lord of the World'.

But upon closer inspection, it was merely a prototype, a phantom spontaneously formed by the emperor's aura, and not a true form.

If Zheng Jun were the Dharma Aspect True Lord, the two of them would not have been able to hold out against him for so long; they would have been captured and killed by him long ago.

While Yuan Dan is not as helpless as Tong Qiao is when facing Fa Xiang, it is not much better. Fa Xiang Zhenjun can easily capture and kill Yuan Dan warriors without any effort.

Even so, Zheng Jun's imperial aura was extremely oppressive.

"Kacha!"

With a single grasp, cracks instantly appeared on Zhongjiang Dragon King Ao Qin's ice crystal altar, and dragon scales flew off.

Seeing this, the Dragon King Zhongjiang glared angrily and let out a dragon roar that shook the heavens.

Suddenly, it unleashed its innate dragon breath, and the chilling aura instantly swept across thousands of miles of sea, freezing the surging waves.

The cracks that had been spreading across the surface of the crystal-clear ice altar were momentarily halted by the extreme cold.

A biting frost wind, carrying a chilling cold, swept over him. Despite the freezing weather, Zheng Jun calmly raised his eyes, tapped his fingertips lightly, and uttered a casual "Break."

A dragon's roar suddenly rose, and the Dragon Abyss Blade was drawn with a clang!

In an instant, a blazing golden flame ignited in the void, like the sun falling to earth; it was the supreme yang fire of 'Radiant Sun'.

Before the blade's aura even arrived, the scorching waves had already swept across thousands of miles, dispelling all frost and cold wherever they passed, and even the howling wind was vaporized into mist.

This strike, carrying the force to burn the heavens, directly slashed at Zhongjiang Dragon King!
The blazing white blade energy shattered the frost and cold for thousands of miles, and the ice crystal altar of Zhongjiang Dragon King Ao Qin exploded with a roar!
"Roar--!"

The white dragon's scales stood on end, and its hundred-foot-long body twisted into a strange spiral shape before the blade's light reached it. Its five claws under its belly bloomed like lotus flowers, each toe emitting a dazzling, cold light.

Suddenly, the white dragon swung its tail, and the entire frozen sea surface rose up like a mirror, with billions of ice crystals condensing into an impenetrable shield under the dragon's energy.

"clang--!"

The clang of metal against metal reverberated throughout the East Sea. The moment the Dragon Abyss Blade struck the ice shield, the white dragon's vertical pupils suddenly contracted. The seemingly indestructible, extremely cold shield was pierced through layer by layer by the blade energy, as thin as paper!
"Ao Zhang!"

Before the white dragon's long roar had even faded, the black dragon arrived like a bolt of lightning piercing the sky.

The alternating attacks of black and white, like the alternation of yin and yang, were quite novel to Zheng Jun.

"Death!"

Ao Zhang's dragon horns erupted with jet-black plasma, and just as Zheng Jun's sword momentum was about to wane, the dragon's tail swept across like a pillar of heaven, carrying a bloody wind and heading straight for Zheng Jun's back!

"Well come."

Zheng Jun scoffed, neither dodging nor avoiding.

These two dragons, one swift as lightning and the other riding the frost, launched alternating attacks, which indeed made Zheng Jun feel somewhat troubled.

In particular, after one is repelled, another immediately takes its place.

It truly embodies the concepts of yin and yang, black and white, much like the Tai Chi principle of using minimal force to overcome great strength.

If one of them is not killed quickly, the consequences will be dire.

Upon realizing this, Zheng Jun felt a surge of murderous intent.

He's going to go all out!
In an instant, all phenomena without form flourished!

Zheng Jun ignited all his supernatural powers at this moment!

Whether it was the dazzling sunlight or the swift waters slaying the dragon, they all converged on Zheng Jun's blade aura at this moment.

At the same time, the crimson golden wheel behind Zheng Jun split up again, and twelve golden crow arrow shadows unfolded like a peacock spreading its tail. Six arrows shot towards the Dragon King of Chizhangchuan, while the other six arrows shot towards the Dragon King of Zhongjiang who had just retreated.

As for Zheng Jun himself, he simply pressed down with one palm, his imperial aura surging behind him, and his azure-gold true essence almost condensed into a vortex in his palm, directly blocking the dragon tail attack that was coming straight at him!
"boom!"

A triple explosion erupted between the sea and the sky!

The black dragon's purple lightning collided with Zheng Jun's azure gold true essence, and the resulting shockwave directly created a vacuum zone in the seawater below.

At this moment, the seabed plates are clearly visible within a radius of dozens of miles, and the waterspouts that have been swirling all around have destroyed both the reefs and corals on the seabed.

In the instant the two sides clashed, the twelve golden crow arrows shot towards the two dragons!

“Clang, clang, clang!”

Although each arrow was an arrow, it contained the powerful blade energy of Zheng Jun's 'Radiant Sun'. As it swept down, without any defense, neither the Dragon King of Chizhangchuan nor the Dragon King of Zhongjiang could choose to withstand these twelve arrows head-on!

"puff!"

After exchanging blows with Zheng Jun, Zhongjiang Dragon King was suddenly attacked by these six arrows while retreating rapidly. The cold mist swirled in his dragon claws, which blocked several of them and cooled the arrows containing the golden fire of the great sun. However, two arrows still tore through the cold tide and pierced through the dragon's belly!

The crystal-clear scales were stained with a dazzling golden-red color, which made the Dragon King Zhongjiang let out a long roar and use his true energy to repair the wound.

Although the Crimson Jade River Dragon King usually kept a low profile and seemed to be the weakest of the three dragon kings, at this moment, he unleashed a power far exceeding Zheng Jun's expectations. His body was surrounded by lightning, and the six arrows could not touch the Crimson Jade River Dragon King at all. They could only be shattered by the purple lightning around him and scattered between heaven and earth!

"Zheng Jun!"

The Dragon King of Chizhangchuan's eyes flashed with killing intent. He roared, and purple lightning blazed around his body.

Zheng Jun shook his numb wrist slightly, his fighting spirit intensifying: the Chizhangchuan Dragon King's tail swing had almost caught him, causing his true essence to become slightly stagnant.

'It seems I'll have to devise a body-refining technique in the future.'

Zheng Jun thought to himself.

The black dragon transformed from the Chizhangchuan Dragon King and the white dragon transformed from the Zhongjiang Dragon King did indeed make Zheng Jun hesitate. The combined power of these two old dragons was far superior to that of the Jiangzhou Dragon King when fighting alone.

They're almost the same as themselves now.

If this continues, even if the battle lasts for three years, there will be no clear winner.

only……

They relied on combined attacks, and even though they could fight Zheng Jun to a draw for a while, they couldn't sustain it.

Over time, flaws will inevitably be revealed.

Even two brothers who grew up together and were inseparable will make mistakes if they practice this kind of combined attack technique for a long time.

As for the Dragon King of Chizhangchuan and the Dragon King of Zhongjiang, Zheng Jun didn't know how these two dragons were before, but in the last few hundred years, one of them was in Zhongjiang in Pengzhou and the other was in Chizhangchuan in Jiaozhou.

There's a whole Jiangzhou between these two places.

How could they cooperate so closely?

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun's fighting spirit intensified.

I felt that I needed to find a way to break through this Tai Chi-like formation.

Upon realizing this, a ferocious aura swept towards Zheng Jun, and the gilded dragon halberd and the gilded dragon-slaying sword appeared simultaneously.

As Zheng Jun summoned his magical treasures, the two dragons merged and swirled on the sea surface, forming a Yin-Yang array. The powerful force caused the seawater to surge in, instantly engulfing the vacuum zone that had been created and condensing into giant sea tornadoes that raged across the sea.

Amidst these enormous waterspouts, a chilling frost was spreading, and purple lightning crackled across the horizon, truly creating an apocalyptic atmosphere of cataclysmic destruction!

"Zheng Jun!"

The roar of the Crimson Jade River Dragon King echoed throughout the primordial world, and its hundred-zhang-long body swelled once more, with golden-red light like lava seeping from the gaps in its scales: "Today I will show you what it means for a true dragon to fight to the death!"

Before the words were even finished, the Yin-Yang formation diagram suddenly reversed!

The Frosty Domain of Zhongjiang Dragon King Ao Qin and the Profound Yin Thunder Essence of Chizhangchuan Dragon King Ao Zhang merged perfectly, transforming into countless red and white intertwined destructive torrents!
Wherever it passed, even the space itself was frozen and cracked, and then blasted into pitch-black nothingness by the following dark lightning!
Faced with this devastating attack, Zheng Jun's gaze turned serious. He took a deep breath, and the Dragon Abyss Blade flew from his hand and hovered in front of his chest, hovering to his left and right along with the gilded dragon halberd and the gilded roaring dragon sword.

At the same time, the illusory emperor behind Zheng Jun raised his hand, and the twelve-tasseled crown moved automatically without wind.

"boom!"

"..."

The turbulent energy currents between the sea and the sky surged like an angry dragon, and Zheng Jun's battle with the Chizhangchuan Dragon King and Zhongjiang Dragon King had lasted for two whole days.

These past two days have been a true clash of titans.

The gilded dragon halberd and the roaring dragon sword tore through the Yin-Yang formation, leaving golden marks, but they were unable to break through the Tai Chi barrier formed by the intertwined dragons.

Whenever Zheng Jun's blade energy slashed towards the black dragon, the white dragon's frost-covered domain would fill the gap like a tide; and when he turned to attack the white dragon, the black dragon's Xuan Yin Thunder Essence would transform into a dense thunder net, dissolving the attack layer by layer.

"These two old mudfish are really troublesome."

A flash of blue light appeared in Zheng Jun's eyes, filled with killing intent, and a vertical crack suddenly appeared between his brows.

The third eye breaks through the barrier, open!

In an instant, all things in heaven and earth transformed into flowing energy veins in his eyes.

These past two days, whenever they launch an attack, Zheng Jun will open his third eye, trying to turn the tide!

Back and forth, the "Heavenly Eye Barrier Breaking" technique has been used hundreds of times.

However, it was difficult to find any flaws.

Fortunately, Zheng Jun is now a Yuan Dan Martial Saint, unlike those in the Tong Qiao Realm who experience splitting headaches and stinging eyes after using 'Heavenly Eye Barrier Breaking' multiple times.

But even after hundreds of uses, Zheng Jun still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

If they can't find a weakness in the fight after another day or two, Zheng Jun will probably have no choice but to give up and retreat.

However, just when Zheng Jun thought this was another mediocre and flawless effort, things were a little different.

It appeared that the frosty dragon breath of the white dragon Ao Qin and the thunderous magma of the black dragon Ao Zhang were perfectly fused at the array's core, but Zheng Jun's Heavenly Eye detected a slight discord. Each time Yin and Yang shifted, the dragon essence three inches below the white dragon's reverse scale would stagnate for half a breath!

"I see."

Zheng Jun's lips curled into a cold smile. The Dragon Abyss Blade suddenly retracted, while the twelve Golden Crow Arrows shot towards Ao Zhang, the Dragon King of Chizhang River!

Although it was only half a breath, that half breath was enough to be fatal!
"Roar--!"

The black dragon roared and swung its claws to block, the lightning plasma exploding into a sky full of purple lightning.

At the same time that the twelve golden crow arrows surged toward the Dragon King of Chizhangchuan, Zheng Jun also directly swung his sword, and the Great Sun fell!
"boom!"

With a loud bang, the black dragon retreated in a sorry state, and the white dragon stepped forward.

Just as Bailong Zhongjiang Dragon King stepped forward, Zheng Jun activated the gilded Xiaolong Sword. The chilling sword intent of cutting through the green water condensed at the tip of the sword, and he fiercely stabbed into the reverse scale where the dragon's essence was stagnant!

Using swordsmanship to control the blade!
The sudden descent caught Zhongjiang Dragon King completely off guard. He frantically mobilized his true essence, but he was just half a breath short!
Half a breath!

"laugh!"

The instant the sword intent penetrated his body, the hundred-foot-long dragon body of the white dragon Ao Qin was struck as if by lightning, and the blood vessels and meridians beneath its crystal scales instantly froze.

It lowered its head in horror, meeting Zheng Jun's cold pupils burning with blue flames: "Truly difficult to kill!"

"Ao Qin!"

The Dragon King of Chizhangchuan's pupils suddenly contracted, realizing that something was wrong.

If Zhongjiang Dragon King is severely injured by Zheng Jun, then their formation is doomed!
If that's the case, how could I possibly be a match for Zheng Jun?
After this thought arose in his mind, the Dragon King of Chizhangchuan wavered. Just then, the Taiji array eye collapsed with a bang, and the Yin Fish array pattern where the white dragon was coiled shattered inch by inch!

Zheng Jun's right palm was already pressed on the dragon's head. The blazing white true fire, shining like the sun, poured into the dragon's body along with the Green Water Blade Intent. With a loud 'boom,' the explosion of ice and fire blasted the white dragon into countless ice crystals. Just as a bright white demon core was about to escape, it was ruthlessly suppressed by Zheng Jun.

With Yin and Yang in disarray, Yang alone cannot sustain itself.

The Thunder Mash Domain of Black Dragon Ao Zhang collapsed instantly. Zheng Jun stepped on the falling ice crystals and soared into the sky. The three magic treasures transformed into a destructive torrent of gold and red intertwined, engulfing the last Chi Zhangchuan Dragon King in the overwhelming light of the sword.

Amidst the chaotic flashes of swords, the Dragon King of Chizhangchuan let out a long roar and immediately fled towards the deep sea to the east!

Upon seeing this, Zheng Jun was about to give chase, but the demon core of the Zhongjiang Dragon King, which he had suppressed, was clearly not behaving properly. Zheng Jun's eyes turned serious, and he had no choice but to begin to deal with the Zhongjiang Dragon King.

"Zheng Jun, spare me, spare me!"

The spirit of the Dragon King Zhongjiang surged under Zheng Junqing's Azure Gold True Essence, appearing extremely anxious, roaring several times and begging for mercy.

Zheng Jun completely ignored this, simply raising his hand to suppress it. The Dragon Abyss Blade in his hand had already become sentient, opening its blood-red maw to devour the essence completely!

At the same time, Zheng Jun also reached out and put the luminous white demon core into 'Fangcun Mountain'.

Looking in the direction where the Dragon King of Chizhangchuan fled, Zheng Jun raised his hand and obtained the Dragon Abyss Blade!

The Dragon Abyss Blade has now devoured the essence of two Yuan Dan Flood Dragons, dozens of Tong Qiao Flood Dragons, and hundreds of Wai Gang Flood Dragons, and is now completely perfected.

The hundred-zhang-long dragon body of Ao Zhang, the Dragon King of Chizhang River, ripped through the sky like a bolt of lightning, and in an instant, it had vanished hundreds of miles.

Zheng Jun stood on the waves, his azure-gold true essence surging through his meridians like a raging tide.

Zheng Jun held the sword with one arm. After the Dragon Abyss Blade absorbed the essence of the two Dragon Kings, the blood patterns on the blade had transformed into dark golden dragon scale phantoms, and it was now emitting a thirsty trembling sound!

"Now that you're here, why rush to leave?"

Zheng Jun sneered, and the crimson-gold halo behind him suddenly contracted, pouring all his true essence into the Dragon Abyss Blade.

Where the blade pointed, the sea silently split open into a thousand-foot chasm, as if the heavens and earth were being torn apart by an invisible hand at that moment!

"cut!"

With a soft shout, the blade flashed like the sun falling into the sea.

There was no earth-shattering explosion; instead, a thin golden thread, as fine as a hair, pierced through the sky and swept across three hundred miles of sea in an instant.

The clouds, birds, and even light along the way were split in two, forming a strange vacuum passage.

The black dragon, which was frantically fleeing, suddenly froze.

"puff--!"

Suddenly, a bloody hole the size of a bowl burst open at the reverse scale of the dragon's neck, and golden-red sword energy gushed out from the wound, tearing dozens of cracks in the dragon's body.

"Roar!"

The black dragon let out a heart-wrenching roar, and its hundred-foot-long body plummeted into the sea like a kite with a broken string.

"Zheng Jun!"

The black dragon's roar abruptly ceased.

The remaining flames from the sword energy erupted within its body, blasting the latter half of the dragon's tail into a bloody mist.

Severely injured, the Dragon King of Chizhangchuan could no longer maintain his soaring momentum and crashed into the raging waves.

Zheng Jun stood in mid-air, his Heavenly Eye breaking through the barrier and sweeping across the boiling sea.

Suddenly, a streak of dark light shot out from underwater. It was the Dragon King of Chizhangchuan who abandoned his demonic body and used his dragon soul essence to carry the demon core and continue to escape!

"That's decisive."

Zheng Jun narrowed his eyes but did not pursue the attack further.

That strike that slew the dragon three hundred miles away had already consumed a significant portion of his true essence.

not to mention……

He turned to look at the southern horizon, where the subtle aura of the primordial elixir of righteousness was faintly visible.

Zheng Jun brushed away non-existent dust from his sleeve and said coldly, "If you've seen enough, then get out here."

"Emperor Han, please calm your anger."

The space rippled like water, and an old man in a straw raincoat appeared, leaning on a green bamboo cane. He smiled obsequiously at Zheng Jun and said, "This old man has come to offer you rare treasures from the East Sea to congratulate Your Majesty on your dragon-slaying achievement..."

This old man in the straw raincoat was none other than the leader of the hermit cultivators of the South China Sea, known as "The Turtle Fisherman".

His cultivation has reached its peak. It is said that he had a fortuitous encounter in his childhood and consumed rare treasures from the South China Sea, which greatly increased his lifespan. He is now over seven hundred years old, far exceeding the average lifespan of a Yuan Dan Martial Saint. This person is plotting to condense a Dharma Body and is currently taking the steps to do so. He can be considered a half-step Dharma Body.

However, this old monster, who was only half a step into the Dharma form, was completely different from the one who was so insightful in the South China Sea. With a light tap of his bamboo staff, three rare treasures floated into the air.

Zheng Jun glanced at the three rare treasures, all of which were artifacts forging weapons in the South China Sea.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun accepted the three rare treasures without hesitation. Then, without further ado, he put the remaining corpse of Zhongjiang Dragon King into Fangcun Mountain and said, "I have accepted your rare treasures. May I ask how you are addressed?"

Although Zheng Jun had heard of this leader of the South China Sea rogue cultivators, he did not know his name.

"This old man is Ruan Siqi."

The turtle fisherman cupped his hands and smiled, "I am from Jiaozhou... But Your Majesty, please rest assured, I am already located in the South China Sea Islands. I will not concern myself with the turmoil in the Central Plains."

Zheng Jun nodded slightly and said, "I have other important matters to attend to. I will come to meet Mr. Ruan again after the Han territory has been pacified in the south."

After saying that, Zheng Jun did not hesitate and transformed into a blue-gold light, rushing northward.

As she watched Zheng Jun's escape, Ruan Siqi's smile gradually faded, revealing a cold expression.

"These three old dragons were incredibly powerful. Even when they joined forces, Zheng Jun managed to kill two of them and severely injure the other one... Ao Zhang from Chizhangchuan fled to the East Sea instead of the South Sea. He knew I couldn't protect him, so he went to the East Sea Dragon Clan and became Song Zhenjun's dog."

Ruan Siqi coldly flicked his sleeve, feeling extremely frustrated.

He originally intended to strengthen the South China Sea's power and welcome another Yuan Dan cultivator over.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Jun was so powerful that all their efforts came to naught.

However, this time, Ruan Siqi obtained some new information.

"With the Han Emperor being so powerful in the Central Plains, the speed at which this chaotic period will be quelled will likely be faster than the previous major upheavals... We must inform the Southern Barbarian King to conquer Lingzhou as soon as possible."

……

A streak of cyan light pierced the sky as Zheng Jun turned back from the East Sea to the Lujiang River.

The river was still turbulent, but without the oppressive aura of the dragons, it seemed much more ordinary. Zheng Jun stood in mid-air, his Heavenly Eye breaking through the barrier and sweeping across the Dragon Court at the bottom of the river. He saw 50,000 naval troops blocking the river, their long black iron spears forming a forest, completely surrounding the entire area.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Jun was greatly surprised.

"Lu Meng is quite sensible."

Zheng Jun chuckled and was about to land when he suddenly saw a figure rushing towards him from the official road along the riverbank. It was Zhao Mingde, the prefect of Chongchuan.

Zhao Mingde, dressed in official robes, knelt down upon seeing Zheng Jun from afar, his forehead pressed against the mud: "This humble official is here to await His Majesty the Han Emperor on the orders of the Emperor of Great Wu!"

The voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, yet every word was clear.

Zheng Jun's eyes flickered slightly, and he used his Azure Gold True Essence to lift Zhao Mingde up: "Lu Meng made you wait for me?"

"Exactly!"

Zhao Mingde dared not look directly at the Emperor's face, and bowed his head to report: "Your Majesty said that the Han Emperor's feat of slaying the dragon was unprecedented, and specially ordered 50,000 naval troops to guard the Dragon Palace day and night, and not a single brick or tile was moved without permission."

Zheng Jun nodded, then waved his sleeve, and the river parted automatically, revealing a passageway leading directly to the Dragon Palace. The naval forces on both sides hurriedly knelt down.

Deep within the Dragon Palace, the eight bronze dragon pillars still stand, but the dragon aura no longer lingers around them.

Zheng Jun unfolded his 'Fangcun Mountain' and took over the entire Dragon Palace, not even sparing the luminous pearl embedded in the dome.

Zheng Jun had his own unique insights into confiscating property.

Nine years ago, when he was making his fortune, he presided over the confiscation of property in Heishan County, leaving nothing behind.

Although their identities are very different now, their behavior is no different from back then. Zheng Jun searched extremely carefully, practically taking the entire Dragon Palace with him.

After moving away, Zheng Jun had no intention of staying in the southeastern Wu Kingdom any longer. He immediately soared into the sky, and as his azure-gold escape light shot into the heavens, 50,000 naval troops knelt on the river surface, their voices shaking the nine heavens.
"Respectfully seeing off the Han Emperor!"

Amidst the roar of the waves, Zhao Mingde looked up and saw that the clouds on the horizon were like blood, resembling dragon scales.

Zhao Mingde sighed inwardly.

Compared to Emperor Zheng Jun of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Lu Meng of the Great Wu Dynasty was utterly devoid of the qualities of a ruler.

"The Han emperor moves in and out of Wu as if nothing is amiss. The heroes of the world will surely know this, and they will likely look down on Your Majesty even more. The landscape of the world will probably be very different now."

……

"How dare you! This is the Dragon Palace, a place of utmost importance! You human, get out!"

"what!"

"Quickly, go and invite the Dragon King! Quickly, invite the Dragon King!"

"..."

They went in secret, but returned arrogant and domineering.

Zheng Jun made no attempt to conceal his escape.

Now that he had come out, Zheng Jun did not hesitate at all. He went to Chizhangchuan in Jiaozhou first, wiped out the Chizhangchuan Dragon Clan, and took all the treasures of the Chizhangchuan Dragon Palace.

They went to Pengzhou again and used the same trick, killing the Zhongjiang Dragon Clan and taking all the treasures from the Zhongjiang Dragon Palace.

Although these three dragon clans must have branches in other places, there are also some outer-strength dragons and even orifice-opening dragons that survive.

However, their main gathering place had already been wiped out by Zheng Jun.

Even if these surviving dragons manage to stay alive, they won't amount to much.

From then on, one of the three great demon lairs in the Central Plains was gone.

It would take at least four or five thousand years to rebuild the Dragon Palace.

During this period, Zheng Jun was relatively well-off.

Zheng Jun was also adorned with jewelry.

However, after killing the dragon in Pengzhou, Zheng Jun encountered some resistance. It was the Pengzhou pacification army that blocked him, wanting to execute the traitor Zheng Jun on the orders of Duke Yue.

Zheng Jun didn't take it seriously, treating it as nothing, and left directly.

Duke Yue, Shu Weiyuan, was a loyal minister of Emperor Yongchang. Zheng Jun's attempt to replace the Zhou dynasty with the Han dynasty naturally displeased Duke Yue. However, Shu Weiyuan was currently fighting in Jiaodong, so he could only symbolically obstruct Zheng Jun.

Zheng Jun sped towards Shenjing, while also taking stock of his gains.

I can say I've struck it rich with this harvest.

All supernatural powers have been fully repaid.

They harvested two Yuan Dan demon cores, forty-three Tong Qiao demon cores, and four hundred and sixty-seven Wai Gang demon cores.

They were all dragons.

The Dragon Abyss Blade absorbed a great deal of dragon souls, reaching perfection and becoming a top-tier magic weapon, specifically designed to attack dragons.

In addition, Zheng Jun also acquired all the resources from the three dragon palaces: Jiangzhou Dragon Palace, Chizhangchuan Dragon Palace, and Zhongjiang Dragon Palace. Zheng Jun hadn't looked at them closely when he raided their homes before, but they were still quite good.

"These resources should be enough for me to advance to the peak of the Yuan Dan realm, right?"

Zheng Jun murmured to himself, feeling extremely happy.

The biggest gain from this great battle was annihilating these dragons, which provided me with enough resources to cultivate to the peak of the Yuan Dan realm.

Once he breaks through to the peak of the Yuan Dan realm and has received an advance on the 'Dharma Aspect', Zheng Jun will give these people a surprise!
With this thought in mind, Zheng Jun fled at lightning speed.

At the same moment, atop the immortal mountain Penglai in Jiaodong County, Qingzhou, the 'Master Qingxu Wanfa', who had just exchanged a brief blow with 'True Lord Fulong of Shangdong' on the shores of the East Sea, suddenly frowned and slowly stood up.

"What happened to those three loaches?"

With this thought in mind, 'Master Qingxu Wanfa' took a step and instantly teleported a thousand miles. In just a few incense sticks' time, he arrived at the place where the Dragon King Zhongjiang and the Dragon King Jiangzhou had died and the Dragon King Chizhangchuan had been seriously injured. He stretched out his hand and made a calculation with his fingers, and was taken aback.

"Emperor Zheng Jun of the Han Dynasty?"
