Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 252 Dragon and Snake Clash
Muyu Island, Lingku, where tigers roar and dragons howl, as if a battle between dragons and tigers is taking place.

At a certain moment, accompanied by a mournful howl, the tiger's aura dissipated, the dragon's might surged, and a dazzling spiritual light suddenly burst forth, dyeing the entire spirit cave with a layer of ink-wash color.

"The most difficult hurdle has finally been overcome; now it's just a matter of patience and perseverance."

Sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform, looking at the white bone bead that had successfully melted the Tiger Fiend Bone, Jiang Chen revealed a smile on his face.

With the tiger's malevolence waning and the dragon's might growing stronger, the essence of this Flood Dragon Armor has now been completely elevated. It only needs to be nurtured for a period of time to stabilize it completely, and it will become a genuine spiritual artifact.

"Compared to the Dragon Fishing Rod, the Flood Dragon Water-Covering Armor is undoubtedly inferior in terms of its foundation. I wonder how many restrictions it can generate."

As Jiang Chen watched the white bone beads floating and sinking within the true fire, a sense of anticipation arose in his heart.

Just then, he noticed something and suddenly turned his gaze to the outside world.

"Spiritual consciousness? Who is it? Lady Qinghua?"

By projecting his divine sense, Jiang Chen detected some traces.

Just now, he sensed a spiritual consciousness attempting to pass through the protective array of Muyu Island. If he hadn't been mentally connected with Tao Yao, he wouldn't have noticed it so quickly.

With a buzz, Jiang Chen's divine sense shifted, and he immediately communicated with Tao Yao, using her aura to conceal the existence of the spirit cave and spirit vein, preventing Lady Qinghua from noticing anything amiss.

"It seems that the strange phenomenon caused by the Mist Dragon's breakthrough to the Dao Foundation attracted her here."

With a quick thought, Jiang Chen had already guessed somewhat about the purpose of Lady Qinghua's visit.

Thinking this, Jiang Chen glanced at the Flood Dragon Armor, which still needed further nurturing, and separated a portion of his consciousness.

The next instant, his true form remained still, and the shadow of a dragon manifested behind Jiang Chen, disappearing into the mist.

At the same time, standing in mid-air, looking down at Muyu Island below, Lady Qinghua couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on her face.

She came here in search of the dragon's trail. The Taiping Sect was the local power in Qinghe County, so she naturally had to come and take a look. She originally wanted to get some information through the Taiping Sect, but she didn't expect to make an unexpected discovery inside the sect.

"According to intelligence, the strongest person in the Taiping Sect is a sword cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. But who would have thought that there is actually a peach tree demon who has reached the Perfection of Qi Refining hidden in the Taiping Sect? It is truly well hidden."

With her spiritual sense penetrating, Qinghua Niangniang detected Taoyao's obscure aura, raising an eyebrow in surprise. This was truly an unexpected gain.

At this point, she became somewhat interested in the Taiping Sect. Just as she was about to do something, a strange aura suddenly came from afar, which immediately caught her attention.

"This aura? It's a dragon."

Looking into the distance, Lady Qinghua's expression immediately turned serious.

"His aura is outwardly strong, but inwardly he seems weak. Could it be that Frost Flood Dragon's breakthrough went wrong?"

Realizing something, Lady Qinghua's mind instantly conjured up a series of calculations.

“Go and take a look. With my abilities, even if something is wrong, I can retreat calmly. In the end, Frost Flood Dragon is just a newly established Dao Foundation cultivator.”

On a whim, Lady Qinghua instantly gave chase.

As for the Taiping Sect, she had already put it out of her mind at this moment. There should be some secrets within the Taiping Sect, but she had already seen through all their tricks, so they were nothing. She could deal with them when she had time.

With a whoosh, spiritual energy swept through the air as Lady Qinghua pushed her speed to its limit.

A moment later, she tracked them down and approached the water vein node.

“A natural formation, a water vein node, so this is where the dragon’s lair is. No wonder no one knew about it.”

A strange light refracted in her pupils as she looked at the undercurrent before her, and Lady Qinghua suddenly realized what was going on.

"The dragon should be hiding here, but this is, after all, the dragon's home ground..." With these thoughts clashing, Qinghua Niangniang hesitated as she looked at the water vein node so close to her.

Just then, a dragon's roar resounded, causing her to momentarily lose her composure.

At the same time, a dragon's claw emerged from the undercurrent and viciously grabbed at her.

"No, it's a scam!"

A chilling feeling spread through her mind. Unfazed by the dragon's might, Lady Qinghua's expression changed drastically as she watched the dragon's claws, carrying the power of rivers, reach for her.

"retreat!"

Without any hesitation, amidst the fluttering green leaves around her, Lady Qinghua immediately withdrew, narrowly avoiding the dragon's claws.

Jiang Chen was quite surprised to see this scene.

Although his physical body remained unmoved, still refining the Flood Dragon Armor, he only added a portion of his divine soul power to the Mist Flood Dragon. However, the Mist Flood Dragon possessed the might of a dragon, and combined with this divine soul power, it would normally be enough to shake the divine soul of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. This Lady Qinghua's reaction was simply too fast.

"Did he cultivate some kind of secret technique for protecting his soul, or does he possess some kind of treasure that safeguards his soul?"

With a sudden thought, the dragon's body swam away, and Jiang Chen gave chase.

On the other side, after realizing she had been tricked, Lady Qinghua immediately surfaced. Her true form was a snake, and she cultivated wood energy. It would be unwise for her to fight a dragon underwater.

"This dragon is no ordinary creature..."

With a solemn expression, Lady Qinghua soared into the sky and immediately escaped the Qingyuan River.

But at that moment, she realized something was wrong. It turned out that a thick fog had enveloped the entire river surface, and all she could see was a vast expanse of white.

"Array formation? Spiritual technique?"

Her spiritual senses spread out, but could not reach any boundaries. The once beautiful face of Lady Qinghua instantly lost its composure.

She had a fortuitous encounter, and although she had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, her spiritual sense was slightly stronger than that of an ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even so, she still couldn't see through the vast fog.

Just then, the mist surged, and a long, slender dragon tail suddenly appeared, lashing out at her fiercely.

With a bang, a powerful force was unleashed, and Lady Qinghua was instantly sent flying.

"This fog can interfere with my spiritual senses."

Unable to pinpoint Jiang Chen's true form, Lady Qinghua's expression turned grim.

"Fighting here will do me no good; I need to get out of here first."

With a thought, she transformed herself, and the Blue Flower Goddess revealed her true form, becoming a ten-zhang-long green snake. Following a premonition, she sped off in a certain direction.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen, hidden in the mist, narrowed his eyes. Although his Cloud Mountain Mist Cover was powerful, it was not truly without a way to break it. However, the mist interfered with spiritual sense, making it impossible for ordinary people to find him. They could only break it by force.

"Looks like he really does have some tricks up his sleeve!"

With a sudden thought, he stopped hiding and used the fog to escape. Jiang Chen instantly caught up with Lady Qinghua. In this sea of ​​fog, all his methods were enhanced.

Upon noticing Jiang Chen's obstruction, Lady Qinghua launched an attack without hesitation.

In an instant, the dragon and the snake were locked in a fierce battle, exchanging blows, claws tearing and mouths biting, displaying the brutality of a life-or-death struggle among demon cultivators.
