Distant Mountain Battle Song

Chapter 193 A Person So Powerful They Couldn't Resist

Since ancient times, the Chinese people have had a neutral perception of the dragon, a powerful creature. After it was given the ability to control clouds and rain, people have come to believe that the dragon is a capricious and tyrannical creature.

Because when the dragon is in a good mood, the weather is favorable, and when it is in a bad mood, there are torrential rains and disasters.

Legend has it that the daughter of the Jing River Dragon King was abused by her husband's family. The Qiantang Dragon King, who was the uncle of the Jing River Dragon Girl, traveled thousands of miles to seek revenge for his niece's mistreatment. This trip resulted in the deaths of eight million people.

Yun Ce values ​​his individual independence and doesn't want the dragon to share a body with him.

As the dragon scales changed their arrangement under the heat of the folk fire, it seemed that this would prevent the fire from damaging the arm. In fact, this was the case. Every time the dragon scales on the arm rearranged, the pain caused by the fire would subside.

However, the dragon scales won't last long before they soften, and the heat will return to Yun Ce's arm. This pain won't even originate from his arm; it will directly affect Yun Ce's head and nerves.

Yun Ce believed this was evidence that the dragon was alive inside him. Unable to resist the invasion of the Shehuo, it inflicted pain on Yun Ce, hoping to indirectly influence the Shehuo by affecting Yun Ce and ultimately resolve its own crisis.

Ultimately, the battle ended with Yun Ce falling unconscious.

In other words, with the power of the dragon and the power of Shehuo intertwined, Yun Ce's power is not enough to become a stable third party.

However, this battle was not in vain. Before Yun Ce was defeated several times, Gouzi slowly channeled Yu Zhu's inner energy into Yun Ce's body.

Without Yu Zhu's internal energy assistance, Yun Ce would have been defeated in the first round of the confrontation.

Then, Gouzi discovered something amazing: the corrosive substance in the Jade Bamboo's internal energy became pure after being roasted by the Shehuo (a type of folk performance).

Yun Ce has gained an additional internal energy, which is rapidly expanding and growing stronger.

This time, Yun Ce did not use the power granted by the dragon. With a slight exertion of his right hand, he crushed a white pebble into stone powder.

"To be able to crush stones into powder is itself a mark of a general of a thousand men."

Zhang Min shook her right hand, which Yun Ce had almost broken, and complained a little.

When she was in Sheyang City, Zhang Min felt that she could defeat Yun Ce. Later, for some reason, she always felt that she was no match for Yun Ce. Although she had never competed with Yun Ce since then, she did not know where this feeling of being inferior to him came from.

Today, she officially realized that she was no match for this man.

Whether Yun Ce is stronger than me or not is not important to me; what's truly impressive is that she can get pregnant so quickly.

What she didn't know was that although Yun Ce appeared calm on the surface, his heart was actually roaring loudly, driving the dog almost crazy.

The dog, which was arguing with Yun Ce, suddenly quieted down. It hoped that Yun Ce could go out and find a quiet place so that they could have a real argument without using Yun Ce's pitifully small head as a battlefield.

So Yun Ce rode his chestnut horse to the wilderness, where he rolled around, roared, laughed, cried, and fired arrows haphazardly into the sky on a small patch of grass.

The chestnut horse kept its distance, fearing that this madman might harm it.

Strangely, only Yun Ce went crazy; Gouzi never appeared. Even when Yun Ce was at his most excited and said that Gouzi was a moron, Gouzi didn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

With his inner energy, Yun Ce believed he was not far from becoming invincible.

Yun Ce prefers to call the appearance of internal energy "evolution," and even more so, he prefers to call this behavior, which surpasses human original power, "super evolution."

Previously, internal energy always appeared in other people's bodies, so Yun Ce didn't feel it deeply. Now that internal energy appeared in his own body, Yun Ce could feel the benefits it brought him.

His ears can hear the sounds of the world more clearly, his eyes can see the world more keenly, his sense of smell can distinguish smells more clearly, and at the same time, his muscles are stronger, he can jump higher and run faster.

What else could this be but evolution?

In a good mood, Yun Ce untied the iron chain binding the neck of a ferocious beast, kicked it in the rear, and signaled that it was free.

Strangely, the ferocious beast didn't run away; instead, it lay even more obediently on the ground, not daring to lift its head.

Looking back at the chestnut horse, I found that it had also disappeared without a trace.

After the birdsong disappeared from Yun Ce's ears, even though he was still overwhelmed with joy, he finally realized that something was wrong.

Yun Ce quickly looked around and found no one in sight. The chestnut horse galloped frantically from the northern horizon and came to Yun Ce's side in an instant, timidly burying its big head behind Yun Ce.

Yun Ce looked up and saw an eagle circling in the sky. As the eagle descended, its body grew larger and larger.

“This eagle has been watching you for three days.”

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I told you, you were busy mating and even gave me a hibernation command."

Looking at the ever-growing eagle, Yun Ce sighed and said, "Indeed, beauty can ruin a country and its people. What do you think this eagle is here for?"

The dog said, "They're probably here to kill you." "Whose side are they?"

"Anything is possible. Even your good brother Cao Kun has harbored murderous intentions towards you."

Speaking of Cao Kun, Yun Ce couldn't help but ask softly, "Do you still have radioactive material?"

"Yes, it was contained in a lead box. This radioactive material is unlike any other radioactive source on Earth. At the time, time was too short, and I didn't get many samples."

"No matter who comes later, I plan to give this box of radioactive sources as a gift to them."

"Then you should be careful not to contaminate yourself."

"Dog, thank you for letting me out of the villa."

"There's nothing I can do. I've calculated it. If you stay in the manor, you'll only cause more deaths; you'll serve no purpose whatsoever."

Just as Yun Ce and Gouzi were communicating in their minds, the excessively large eagle clumsily landed on the ground, and a person wearing a fur robe slid off the eagle's back.

He staggered before managing to steady himself, then turned around and smiled at Yun Ce, saying, "You can sense my presence, which is quite rare among young people."

Looking at this person who looked relatively young but spoke with an old-fashioned air, Yun Ce politely cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, senior. I was unaware of your presence and what guidance you may offer?"

The man, whose appearance was indistinguishable as young or old, laughed and said, "I've only come to see for myself what kind of person would be willing to lay a hand on this little Yuzhu."

Yun Ce neither denied nor argued. He took out a beautiful lead box from his pocket, held it in front of the man with both hands, and opened the box facing him, letting the still glowing soil inside face the man. Seeing that the glow made the man's face look green, he cried out, "Please spare my life, senior."

The man in the leather robe took the radiation source with a puzzled look, examined it carefully, and asked Yun Ce a question.

"What is this?"

"I have heard that applying this substance to the chest is extremely beneficial for improving one's internal energy."

"Why offer it to this old man?"

"Please, senior, spare my life!"

"Knowing the outcome before the battle even begins, that's truly a tradition of you Han people."

Yun Ce smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Those who understand the times are the heroes."

Seeing the man in the leather robe extend a finger to touch the radiation source, Yun Ce was worried that he would also be affected, so he had no choice but to stand behind the lead box. Even if there was radiation, it would be blocked by the lead box and would not harm him.

He had hoped the old man would play with the radiation source a little longer, but to his surprise, the old man closed the box and said to Yun Ce, "I'll give you one day to live since I've accepted your gift. You can go back and make your final arrangements. You killed Yu Zhu and sent his head to Chang'an. I must take your head back with me."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ce breathed a long sigh of relief and bowed deeply to the man in the leather robe, saying, "May I ask your esteemed name, senior?"

The man in the leather robe chuckled and said, "My name is Yu Sang. I've heard that you are on good terms with Liu Changsheng, so he should know my name."

Now you can go back and make your funeral arrangements.

Upon hearing this, Yun Ce bowed to the old man again, then eagerly jumped onto the back of the chestnut horse. Without returning to Yun Family Manor, he galloped off to the east.

Yu Sang was not surprised that Yun Ce hadn't gone back to make arrangements for his funeral, but instead ran eastward. Instead, she shook her head regretfully and said, "If you don't make proper arrangements for your funeral, running around will lead you to die in the wilderness."

As he spoke, he reached out and placed his hand on the head of the extremely docile beast. With a soft "poof," the beast's skull was opened, revealing its still-wriggling brain matter.

The giant eagle then brought its beak close and began to peck at the beast's brains.

After pecking at the food a few times, the giant eagle stopped, its eyes, adorned with colorful rings, fixed intently on the lead box in Yu Sang's hand.

Upon seeing this, Yu Sang laughed and said, "You also know this is a good thing? This object exudes a surging and inexhaustible power from the inside out. Unfortunately, if you want to make use of it, you still need to study it carefully."

As he spoke, he opened the box, scooped out a little bit with his finger, and smeared it on the giant eagle's face. The giant eagle jumped twice with joy, making Yu Sang laugh heartily.

While Yu Sang was feeding the giant eagle and laughing and playing, Yun Ce and his chestnut horse had already run more than twenty miles away. Neither the horse nor the man showed any intention of stopping. In any case, Yun Ce planned to run to Cao Kun at Yu Jin Pass first.

If Cao Kun fails, Yun Ce really intends to rush back to Chang'an. Just like that old scoundrel Yu Sang said, the High Priest Liu Changsheng knows his name. Could it be said that the High Priest Liu Changsheng is a master of the same level as him?

This was the first time Yun Ce had encountered a powerful figure from the Han Dynasty world. He had expected there to be many powerful figures, but he never imagined they would be this strong.

Just now, when facing Yu Sang, he truly couldn't muster the slightest desire to fight.
