The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 251 Dragon's Roar Soars to the Sky
? ! ! !
Shen Cangming paused, his dark, deep eyes flashing.

Endless killing intent and storms began to surge and roar, almost materializing.

An, Lu, Shan...

Ever since Zhou Yan mentioned this person to him last time, Shen Cangming's calm and quiet heart began to surge like a suppressed volcano. The killing intent in his hand and the knife in his heart were completely solidified, determined to kill An Lushan with his own hands.

Knowing of An Lushan's existence, the sudden surge of murderous aura dissipated, but was instantly suppressed. Not only him, but also Li Zhenyue and Pei Xuanniao, two elite officers of the Tang army, raised their eyes at the same time.

The more one reminisces about the glorious Tang Dynasty, the angrier one feels towards the present era, and the more turbulent that murderous intent becomes, with nowhere to be vented.

Shen Cangming asked, "Where is he?"

His voice remained calm and peaceful. Zhou Yan recounted the general events, and Shen Cangming's voice, as always, was calm and composed, like a towering mountain, as he said, "...You are in danger there, I'll come and help you."

Li Zhenyue raised his eyes slightly and said, "In that case, I'll go too."

Pei Xuan Niao said, "Of course I will go too!"

Li Zhenyue's strength has already reached the sixth rank. He was originally a young officer in the Shuofang Army. His martial arts skills and supernatural abilities are very solid. He can lead his elite troops to capture traitors in special times.

In his constant battles with Shen Cangming, his understanding of military strategy also improved. Finally, during the great calamity before Zhongnan Mountain, he made a breakthrough and stepped into the sixth rank.

Pei Xuan Niao also managed to achieve some success in that battle.

Fengsui Huo killed many spider demons, and his own cultivation level became more solid. He finally climbed to the seventh rank. However, among the three military lineages, he was still the weakest. His job was to brush horses and feed big black bean cakes.

Li Zhenyue's idea was simple: An Lushan, that fat pig, should be killed by every soldier of the Tang Dynasty.

Pei Xuan Niao, on the other hand, had the ideas of a scion of a prominent family, and the Pei family had produced several scoundrels.

Shame can only be washed away by merit.

Now that An Lushan has been resurrected, where can one find a greater achievement than this?

Definitely not!

Only by chopping off this bastard's pig head can we wash away the stains on Pei Xuanbao and the others. Zhou Yan looked at Shen Cangming, nodded slightly, and said, "Alright, then I will mark the route to Shu for you, Uncle Shen."

Li Zhenyue and Pei Xuanniao are both from the military school.

Pei Xuan Niao was even a standard beacon tower. His breakthrough was only achieved after he went down the mountain to buy a bow and arrow for Shen Cangming and received some guidance.

The inherent characteristics of military strategy dictate that the more military officials one has, the more power one can unleash.

Zhou Yan gave the map to Shen Cangming, then thought for a moment and took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket. The bottle was quite heavy, and it contained the residual evil energy of the Lord of War. Zhou Yan himself did not know the effect of this thing, but the Old Mother of Lishan had specially left it out, so it must have had its purpose.

And among all the people in the world who are most adept at sensing and utilizing malevolent energy.

Shen Cangming, standing before us, must be among them.

Zhou Yan handed the murderous aura to Shen Cangming, who asked, "What is this?"

Zhou Yan said, "It is the malevolent aura of Chi You, the master of war."

Shen Cangming slightly raised his eyes. As a veteran of the army, he had also come into contact with similar objects that condensed evil energy. Some methods required the condensation of such special evil energy, and there were also methods that used evil energy to stimulate strength.

Generally speaking, the evil energy pills used are just ordinary objects.

Where can I find something of the level of "Bingzhu's Killing Aura"?

Shen Cangming nodded slightly, looking at the young Taoist in front of him. In just over a year, the boy who was still a mess among the hungry ghosts had now grown into a man of considerable stature. He couldn't help but feel a little gratified and a little wistful.

Perhaps, last year, when I survived the battlefield, feeling dazed and confused, almost turning into a walking corpse, the best thing I did was to save the boy at all costs when I saw someone calling for help.

Even with a treasure like Chi You's baleful aura, Shen Cangming did not refuse.

"it is good."

Xuan Zhuzi, the successor of the Medicine King, received the decree given by Xiweizi and began packing his bags, planning to go with Zhou Yan and his group. When the Medicine King Sun Simiao was young, he wandered around everywhere, and there are caves and inheritances left by him in Qingcheng Mountain.

Xuan Zhuzi had a very conflicted mindset. When he was at Louguan Temple in Zhongnan Mountain, he felt that life there was empty and boring, and he thought about going out every day. However, after going down the mountain and seeing many calamities, he felt that staying at home in the mountain gate and refining elixirs was not bad.

Unfortunately, the Medicine King was a restless person who wandered around, practicing medicine and leaving traces everywhere. Various prescriptions were scattered in all directions, and Xuanzhu had no choice but to follow these clues everywhere.

Zhou Yan went to find Ao Xuantao again. When the old dragon heard that he was going to Shu, he agreed without hesitation. Zhou Yan and Ao Xuantao sat idly in the small courtyard outside his own quiet room. Li Pingyang burned incense and brewed tea for the two of them, his brows gentle.

When Zhou Yan recounted his experiences in Sichuan, his tone was somewhat deliberate as he said:

"The water gods of the Sichuan region are different from those of other places."

"In a major river system like the Jialing River, a branch has actually been occupied by the Water Yaksha, who have been running rampant in that branch for three hundred years. Whenever there are human wandering knights or heroes, they hide and do not show themselves, and even hold human sacrifices." "I have heard that the River God and the Lord of the Jialing River have both changed, and have even received the decrees of the Three Mountains overseas."

"I have never heard of the Three Mountains Overseas having the authority to command the Water God."

"As far as I know, it's already incredibly turbulent. Elder Ao, are you sure you want to go with us?"

Ao Xuantao said in a calm voice, "If it weren't for you, my lord, I would still be hiding in the branches of the Jing River, living a muddled and ignorant life. It seems like I'm living a carefree life, but it's just a life of ignominy."

"My Jinghe Dragon Clan was caught up in a calamity. On the surface, it was because we were colluding with the insect monsters and were punished by Emperor Taizong. But before, at the Wofo Temple, I saw my uncle, a member of the Dragon Clan, have his flesh and blood devoured by the insect monsters and transformed into an insect dragon."

"This is no longer collusion; it's clearly a setup."

Ao Xuantao's hand brushed across the rough stone table. After a moment of silence, he said:

"All signs indicate that the decline of my dragon clan is not as simple as it seems on the surface. There are turbulent events, and to find out the truth of that day, we must go deep into this place... I also want to find out the blood feud of my lineage."

"I am a descendant of the dragon race, and I have no reason to be a coward."

Ao Xuantao paused slightly, then laughed and said, "Moreover, since there are many waterways, my dragon body can be of some use. I can take Master Shen and the others directly to the Jialing River along these waterways."

The old dragon suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to Zhou Yan, and said in a solemn tone:

"It is to avenge the blood feud of my ancestors, and also to repay the kindness of my husband in giving me a second chance at life."

"Your subordinate is willing to sacrifice his life, even his brains!"

Zhou Yan could see Ao Xuantao's seriousness and solemnity, and knew that he was also determined. He reached out and lifted the old man up, pondering in his heart.

The vast majority of our spirit must be placed on the side of enlightenment.

Moreover, his escape technique was not suitable for carrying other people. Only with Ao Xuantao's true form as a dragon could he deliver everyone. Zhou Yan thought for a moment, then took out the other of the two porcelain bottles given by the Old Mother of Lishan and handed it to Ao Xuantao.

"The hidden crisis in Sichuan this time may be no less than that in Zhongnan Mountain."

"Thank you for your trouble, Elder Ao, this item is mine..."

Zhou Yan paused for a moment, then said, "It was obtained by luck."

"It seems to be beneficial to the Dragon Clan. Elder Ao, please take a look and see if it's of any use?"

He raised his palm, and a gust of wind lifted the porcelain bottle and delivered it to Ao Xuantao's hand. Ao Xuantao was extremely loyal to Zhou Yan, and when the old dragon saw that it was a gift from Zhou Yan, he thanked him and, without hesitation, opened the porcelain bottle and poured the contents directly into his mouth to show his loyalty.

The moment that drop of essence blood entered his throat, an indescribable burning sensation suddenly swept over Ao Xuantao's entire body.

It was a warmth that surged from the depths of his blood, yet it also carried the power and domineering force of thunder. Ao Xuantao felt his entire body's meridians tremble.

"This is……"

Manjushri Bodhisattva, the Buddha's teacher, is descended from an ancient dragon.

This was the essence and blood she had given, containing the wisdom of Manjushri Bodhisattva Prajna. Originally, this power was absolutely difficult to separate. It took the Old Mother of Lishan a great deal of effort to come up with a way to use the Buddha's mind and Zen nature to restrain the warlord's will to fight.

The remaining matter was gathered and aggregated, forming this drop of ancient dragon blood essence.

Ao Xuantao, in terms of his origins, comes from the Jinghe Dragon Clan, the largest branch of the Eight Streams of the Four Rivers. However, even as the Jinghe Dragon King, his origins are vastly different from those of the true form of Manjushri Bodhisattva!
Ao Xuantao was merely the last descendant of the Jinghe Dragon Clan. If he hadn't met Zhou Yan and encountered such a fortuitous event, he would have been nothing more than a giant serpent.

After several fortuitous encounters, he received a dragon pearl from a dragon elder who had been harmed by the insect demon. Only then did he truly transform from a giant python into a dragon. Even so, he was still only a descendant of the dragon race in later generations.

However, this drop of blood from Manjushri Bodhisattva is of the most ancient level.

Even though it originally belonged to the compassion of Bodhisattva and did not have a strong and domineering mad killing intent, and after being tempered by Nuwa in the form of the Old Mother of Lishan, it became mellow and gentle and would not self-destruct because of its bloodline, but it was still too ancient and too profound.

This drop of blood is just an ordinary rare treasure for humans and other races, far less effective in tempering the body than the true blood of the War Lord.

But for dragons.

Especially for the last dragon descendant, it is the most supreme treasure!

Almost the instant that drop of blood entered his body, Ao Xuantao's body stiffened. He was a dragon, a species capable of fighting the true form of Yuntai Giant Spirit, one of the nine battalions under the command of Mount Hua, yet he couldn't even hold onto the porcelain bottle.

The porcelain bottle fell from Ao Xuantao's hand, crashed to the ground, and shattered into pieces.

The next moment, a violent and domineering aura rose from Ao Xuantao's body.

The roar of a dragon tore through the clouds.

It pierced through the entire sea of ​​clouds over Zhongnan Mountain!
