EBE #699 - Taunt them
#699 - Taunt them
These three thousand elite cultivators, all heroic spirits tempered by a hundred thousand years of war, had reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Their sword qi was unmatched, and each swing of their blades was accompanied by a terrifying aura of slaughter.
At this moment, their eyes were bloodshot, as if filled with endless rage and killing intent, embarking on this path of no return to deliver death.
Led by Murong Fan, these six thousand elite cultivators were like sharp arrows piercing through the air, their speed astonishing.
Following the targets on the list, they accurately and mercilessly executed the direct descendants of the Qi Kingdom one by one. Heads fell to the ground, and their souls were imprisoned within the Tower of Heads, also known as the legendary Black Lotus Buddha Heart Tower.
This massacre unfolded quietly tonight, plunging the imperial city of Qi into endless fear and despair.
Blood flowed like rivers, but strangely, it left no trace on the ground, and the stench of blood was concealed by a mysterious force.
Only the innocent souls of the dead silently recounted their tragic experiences in the darkness.
Some princes, just drifting into slumber, had their throats slit by a single sword; some generals, enjoying a romantic evening with their wives, were pierced through the heart by a long spear, their heads severed.
These former dignitaries and heroes had all become souls beneath the blade, their lives appearing so fragile and vulnerable in the face of slaughter.
Li Chengfeng, however, turned a blind eye to all of this. What he wanted was for the Qi Kingdom to pay the price it deserved.
He wanted everyone to know the dire consequences of offending him.
In his view, all fame and stability were built upon the butcher's knife. Only blood and lives could forge true hegemony and dominion.
Li Chengfeng silently followed Qi Wenlong and the two princes, their destination being the Dragon Vein deep beneath the ground.
The so-called defensive restrictions were, in fact, the profound foundation accumulated by the Qi Kingdom over tens of thousands of years, layered upon layered, concealing hidden mysteries.
Li Chengfeng secretly followed from the periphery, gradually moving deeper and deeper.
At this moment, no one felt more uneasy than Ancestor Murong. Although he had successfully reincarnated, he miraculously retained the memories of his previous life.
An indescribable fear enveloped his heart, causing him to feel a chill down his spine.
Although he was knowledgeable and experienced, his current strength was far inferior to what it once was, like a newborn infant.
Although his current cultivation was equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage, which was remarkable for an infant, he had cultivated in his mother's womb for so many years, only to face such a predicament upon emerging, leaving him with unspeakable bitterness.
This so-called "father" was clearly not a benevolent figure; it seemed he intended to use him for experiments. However, Ancestor Murong still put on a flattering demeanor, hoping to muddle through.
And just like that, they quickly passed through a teleportation array, arriving within an ancient hall.
Here, grotesque rocks stood jaggedly, and the mottled traces on the stone walls spoke of the vicissitudes of history and time.
The spiritual energy within the hall was extremely dense, making Ancestor Murong, even as a deaf person, feel comfortable all over, as if his strength had been enhanced.
He couldn't help but secretly admire, 'This is truly a good place!'
In front of them, there was a huge altar. On the altar lay a massive tooth—a dragon tooth! It was extremely large, about the size of a dozen beds.
This was a true dragon tooth, incomparably sharp, carrying a dense aura of slaughter.
The dragon qi and dragon veins between heaven and earth converged, being continuously absorbed by it.
At this moment, the dragon tooth was trembling slightly, as if undergoing some kind of transformation.
Qi Wenlong laughed heartily, saying triumphantly, "Have the two princes seen? Our dragon tooth has actually reached its peak of dragon qi at this moment!
If we refine it into a treasure, it will surely be the guardian deity of our Qi Kingdom. Perhaps we can even refine a spiritual treasure from it!"
The two princes also smiled broadly, their hearts filled with excitement. They also harbored greed for this treasure, but they did not reveal it at this moment.
The accumulation of the Qi Kingdom over hundreds of thousands of years ultimately lay in this dragon tooth.
One of the princes, with a dark expression, said with a smile, "It's a pity that this dragon tooth cannot recognize a master. If we forcibly refine it, I'm afraid it will shatter.
At that time, we would suffer a loss instead."
Another prince also sighed, saying, "If it weren't for this, how could this dragon tooth have absorbed so much spiritual energy here for so many years? We would have refined it into a treasure long ago."
Qi Wenlong waved his hand, saying, "Be patient.
Let my son try it."
He winked at Ancestor Murong, then placed him on the ground, saying, "Boy, go and comprehend the dragon tooth.
If you can take it, or ride on it and play, as long as it recognizes you, you will have rendered a great service!"
However, while he said this, his eyes carried a hint of coldness.
Ancestor Murong cursed inwardly, knowing that this was not a good omen.
If this dragon tooth really recognized him as its master, he would definitely be refined into the spirit of the dragon tooth, dying even faster.
His hands and feet were trembling slightly, and he cursed inwardly, "Damn Li Chengfeng, you really schemed against me! I was also blinded by greed, listening to your nonsense, inciting people's hearts.
So that's what you were planning, to have me test out the Qi Kingdom's treasure, so that you can take it away! If you want to take it, then hurry up and take it, why haven't you shown yourself yet? It's infuriating!"
Since Li Chengfeng wasn't coming out, he didn't dare to disobey Qi Wenlong's orders.
He muttered to himself, scrambling towards the dragon tooth.
But to his disappointment, the dragon tooth emitted a shocking spiritual energy fluctuation, and with a "bang," it sent him flying, landing on his back with his limbs spread out, the pain causing him to gasp for breath.
Ancestor Murong struggled to get up, his heart filled with even greater terror.
This dragon tooth was definitely not something he could touch.
Qi Wenlong and the two princes were all taken aback.
They originally thought that this little dragon child should have the qualifications to be recognized by the dragon tooth, but they didn't expect such a situation to occur, making it unbelievable.
Qi Wenlong said angrily, "How is this possible? If the dragon tooth doesn't recognize him, then what use is he to us?
He will only absorb dragon qi for nothing!"
The two princes also nodded, saying, "That's right, this dragon tooth has consumed most of the resources and dragon qi of our Qi Kingdom for hundreds of thousands of years.
He still doesn't recognize a master, truly a blockhead! We might as well smash it!"
Just as they finished speaking, the dragon tooth actually chuckled, revealing a round, bald-headed little monk on top.
He said with a smile, "You bunch of trash, how are you qualified to control this dragon tooth? Do you know what kind of dragon this is?
This is one of the Eight Heavenly Dragons of the Buddhist realm! You mortals, without wisdom and Buddha-nature, how could you possibly gain my recognition? You only know slaughter and killing, a bunch of brutes!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Wenlong and the two princes all turned ashen, not expecting the dragon tooth to actually speak, and to mock them so.
