Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 700 Packing Up the Azure Dragon
Faced with the question, Xu Xuan smiled but did not answer, trying his best to imitate the demeanor of the long-browed old man.

To be fair, Ren Shou, the former leader of the righteous path and now the boss of the demonic path, has never been lacking in either appearance or temperament.

He was the most magnanimous enemy Xu Xuan had ever encountered since he began working in the righteous path.

Of course, in addition to imitation, the Father also added his own understanding.

"you guess?"

Long Eyebrows couldn't utter such simple and straightforward witty remarks, although they were very effective in manipulating people's mentality tactically.

Qingjiao: "..."

Guess your grandpa!!!

Filled with deep confusion, he once again used "Across the Four Seas" to escape through the air!
This time, it fell from the depths of the mountains and forests, opened its mouth, and directly bit the nearby wandering skeleton demons to pieces, then twisted and burrowed deep into the ground.

"Small matters can be concealed and hidden..."

It silently recited the insights gained from transforming into a dragon, completely concealing its aura and even suppressing its spiritual fluctuations to the lowest possible level.

After a cup of tea, all around was silent, except for the rustling of the mountain wind through the treetops.

The Azure Dragon secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that last time was really just a coincidence...

The thought had barely formed in his mind—"Brother Qingjiao~"

"I miss you so much."

A familiar voice came from behind, and Qingjiao's head froze!

Slowly turning around, she saw Xu Xuan strolling out from behind an ancient tree, his face still bearing that chillingly gentle smile.

"..."

The Azure Dragon took a deep breath, its dragon eyes fixed intently on Xu Xuan:

"How the hell did you... find me?!"

Xu Xuan remained silent, still smiling, acting as if he were a complete idiot.

The Azure Dragon forced itself to calm down. At this moment, it faced a fatal choice, the crossroads at the end of its demonic life.

Fight with all your might right now!

But facing this unfathomable human race, the odds of victory are slim.

They ran away again!

But if you don't understand the tracking principle, it's no use escaping to the ends of the earth.

A fierce glint flashed in the dragon's eyes, and it suddenly roared to the sky!
"boom--!!"

A sudden thunderstorm descended, turning the entire mountain forest into dust in the wind, rain, and lightning!
Under the cover of the explosion, the remnant soul of the Azure Dragon vanished without a trace once more...

It still came from the heart.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Xu Xuan stood in the center of the ruins, picked up Sheng Xie and tossed it into the air.

It spun around a few times, then landed with a "thud," pointing northeast.

Xu Xuan squinted his eyes:

"This time it's...the northeast?"

He smiled slightly and slowly walked in that direction.

As everyone knows, Xu Xuan is not good at divination—but his current performance is not because he suddenly had an epiphany, but because the Azure Dragon has become an incurable and unlucky dragon.

This is a game where luck completely dominates.

Sometimes, getting what you want doesn't necessarily depend on being lucky enough; it can also depend on your opponent being unlucky enough.

The once mighty Dongting Lake region's fortunes have long since been exhausted.

The first time he was touched by the aura of humanity and the emperor, he was suppressed by Qin Shi Huang with the imperial seal, and then a sorcerer was sent to bind him with swallowtail iron shackles and imprison him in Dongting Lake.

The second time it was touched by the aura of humanity and the emperor, it was shot down by Emperor Wu of Han with an arrow, and most of its dragon body was destroyed.

He was finally killed by Yun Zhongjun in a one-on-one battle, and his remaining soul gradually weakened.

Now that they have encountered Xu Xuan again—this is simply the will of Heaven declaring that its fate has run out!
From Bai Lian's perspective, this old dragon was no different from a dead man.

The second flaw is even more fatal.

The Azure Dragon lost its most crucial "decisiveness to survive by putting itself in a life-or-death situation"!

It clearly sensed that Xu Xuan was problematic, but it never dared to fight to the death—if it could really risk its life and fight to the death with the power of a fourth-level demon soul, it might be able to regain a glimmer of hope.

The well-worn phrase "the one that has vanished" is contained within it; it requires struggle, scrambling, and fighting.

Unfortunately, it chickened out.

Xu Xuan understood the difference between pretense, cowardice, and recklessness, so he disguised himself with even greater composure.

He always hides his exhausted appearance from traveling, always maintains a smile, and is always in complete control when he goes all out.

He wanted to wear down the Azure Dragon's power through its repeated escapes.

"Boom!" Another palm struck down, and the Azure Dragon roared in fury, turning to flee again.

This time, the tool for guiding the way has changed from Emperor Wu of Han's arrows to a wooden stick picked up at random—which means that the Azure Dragon's luck has been completely crushed!

After capturing and releasing the dragon seven times, when Xu Xuan appeared before the Azure Dragon for the seventh time, the once invincible dragon's eyes were filled with despair.

It finally understood its biggest problem.

"So... I had no other way out all along..."

Xu Xuan watched this scene quietly, the white light in his palm slowly receding.

This hunt was doomed from the start—not because he was so strong, but because the Azure Dragon had long been abandoned by the times.

But when faced with imminent death, this guy suddenly became stubborn.

They claimed to be of the dragon family, a former overlord, and deserving of due respect, etc.

If you're so capable, don't torture its soul; letting its soul dissipate is the tacit understanding and dignity between the strong.

The way he faced death showed a certain backbone, much like a righteous character at the end of his rope.

Unfortunately, Xu Xuan was not the kind of hero who particularly respected his enemies, but rather a standard righteous knight-errant.

With your monstrous appearance, it's obvious you've devoured countless people. What are you trying to prove with me?

"Boom--!"

The crisp tapping sound echoed through the swamp, carrying a hint of the Zen-like power of a Buddhist slap.

Iron Palm Town in Yunmeng, hearts connected!

The divine sense forcefully crashed into the Azure Dragon's soul sea, attempting to imprint a white lotus mark deep within its soul.

However, how powerful are the souls of the Four Realms Demon Kings?

Even with only its head remaining, the force of its resistance still caused the veins on Xu Xuan's temples to bulge. If he were to force it, the azure dragon would explode and die on the spot.

However, in this Yunmeng Marsh, he dared not unleash those dazzling Buddhist supernatural powers, or summon the arrival of his homeland, the Void.

Making too much noise could attract those even more terrifying beings in the center of the lake.

"In that case..."

Xu Xuan simply took off his cassock, wrapped the blue dragon's head into a bundle, and hung it around his waist. He would tap it with his fingers from time to time, just like a monk striking a wooden fish.

"Boom!"

Do you know what a dragon is?

"Boom!"

"You committed too many sins while you were alive, so you are very lucky to have met me now."

"Boom!"

"I, Old Xu, don't tolerate any nonsense. I'll deal with you slowly once we get out!"

A person who never wastes money is naturally a person of their word.

Qingjiao: "..."

What a humiliating disgrace! ...And there's nothing we can do about it!

If they fall into the hands of humans, their sins in life will inevitably be punished.

Now, my only stubbornness is to stay focused and not give the other side the information they want.

Because the commotion from playing hide-and-seek with the Azure Dragon was quite loud, Xu Xuan now had to trek through the swamp, his feet sinking into the deep water.

Thunder roared across the sky behind them, and the clouds over the entire edge of the area were boiling, with thousands of bolts of lightning pouring down like rain.

Yun Zhongjun is going to use the simplest yet most effective method: indiscriminate bombardment to force out his prey!

"We need to speed things up..."

Xu Xuan finished checking the directions and was about to take a step when he suddenly froze—

He felt his consciousness... splitting apart.

It wasn't possession, nor was it an illusion; rather, it was the natural sensation of having an extra "body." The feeling was warm and familiar, as if it had always been a part of myself.

I am Xu Xuan... I am Xu Xuan... I am Xu Xuan...

The gentle thoughts, like a spring breeze, caressed his soul, causing him no discomfort but instead bringing clarity to his mind.

"This is……"

A peculiar thread of cause and effect appeared before Xu Xuan's eyes, and he saw a being similar to himself descend upon a large lake.

A familiar, earthly python was spinning above the lake, illustrating the essence of the green snake.

A strange blue light, exactly like that of the deputy hall master, slowly appeared deep in Xu Xuan's pupils!

Xiaoqing?
