Chapter 114: Sword Like a Rainbow over Yun Meng Marsh, an Unparalleled Heroine Slays the Flood Dragon!
The vast Eight Hundred Li Yun Meng Marsh, boundless and shimmering, where the water meets the sky, a small silver boat cuts through the waves, like a great white shark speeding along, water splashing everywhere.
Inside the small boat, on a soft and precious red carpet, Zhou Chen reclined on a soft couch, never forgetting his original intention, cultivating the Dao, deeply researching the profound mysteries of the Great Dao.
Huo Yao Yao wore a red dress, thin as a cicada’s wings, red as fire, faintly revealing the snow-white skin underneath, like pearls and jade, white with a hint of red.
Curved eyebrows, thin lips, a perky nose, charming fox-like eyes, a raised white neck, eyes as alluring as silk, passionate as fire.
“Meeting Master is truly a blessing that this servant has cultivated for a hundred lifetimes.”
Her white and tender arms, like spring onions, wrapped around Zhou Chen’s neck, Huo Yao Yao breathed out a fragrance like orchids, kissing Zhou Chen’s face, wishing she could melt into him, never to be separated again.
In the Blazing Dragon Valley, she had embraced the determination to die and self-destructed, but unexpectedly, she was reborn in Zhou Chen’s special treasure.
Life is full of wonders, truly amazing.
“Fox demon!”
Leng Yue and Liu Xing served beside Zhou Chen, watching Huo Yao Yao sitting on Zhou Chen’s lap with her legs spread apart, cursing inwardly.
Actually, they also wanted to occupy that position, but unfortunately, it could only accommodate one person.
“Your little mouth is really sweet!”
Zhou Chen chuckled, pinching Huo Yao Yao’s flushed and delicate cheeks, tilting his head back, leaning into Leng Yue’s ample bosom.
He just loved brainwaves!
Glancing at Liu Xing’s white and tender long legs beside him, Zhou Chen’s wandering hands reached out, aiming for an even distribution of his attention!
Meanwhile, Ji Feng Xia and Liu Ru Yi occupied Zhou Chen’s soul within the Wind and Moon Mirror.
Truly, a clear division of labor!
After leaving the Desert Prefecture of Youzhou, Zhou Chen traveled south, returning to Qingyun Prefecture in Qingzhou.
Then Zhou Chen took the water route, planning to cross Yun Meng Marsh to reach Yun Meng Prefecture.
Yun Meng Prefecture is adjacent to Quan Tian Prefecture.
And Quan Tian Prefecture is where the Heavenly Sword Sect is located.
“This fox demon is really shameless…”
Liu Xing glanced at the carpet on the ground, seemingly dampened by the river water, cursing inwardly, while hugging Zhou Chen’s arm and speaking in a soft and sweet voice:
“Young Master, I heard there are flood dragons lurking in Yun Meng Marsh, occasionally creating waves and devouring passing travelers, is it true?”
Although she was the top courtesan of Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, seemingly enjoying boundless glory, in reality, she was nothing but a bird in a cage, locked up since childhood, learning music, chess, calligraphy, painting, martial arts, and the tricks of serving men.
They only learned about the outside world from books and other people’s accounts, never having traveled far.
“The Eight Hundred Li Yun Meng Marsh is unfathomable, it’s not surprising to have flood dragons.”
Zhou Chen smiled. He had even slain flood dragons in the Heavenly Cloud Secret Realm.
Flood dragons vary in strength.
To the strong, a flood dragon is a walking treasure, its entire body is valuable.
But to ordinary people, even the weakest flood dragon is a terrifying existence, its appearance bringing disaster.
Most people are filled with awe and fear towards demonic beasts like flood dragons, but Zhou Chen had slain a few in the Heavenly Cloud Secret Realm, so he didn’t feel much.
“If a flood dragon appears, I’ll slay it and make soup for you to drink!”
Zhou Chen squeezed Liu Xing’s smooth and plump thigh, recalling the archery skills taught by Old Man Cao, aiming at the red bullseye, hitting it with a single arrow.
Liu Xing’s body trembled, instantly tensing up, collapsing softly against Zhou Chen’s shoulder, her beautiful eyes like water:
“Young Master is mighty…… Mm……”
Leng Yue’s ten fingers were like spring onions, white, tender, and slender, pressing against Zhou Chen’s forehead as he leaned against her bosom, watching Huo Yao Yao sitting on Zhou Chen’s lap, she said with a smile:
“Actually, there’s no need for Young Master to take action, if a flood dragon really appears, Sister Huo can swallow it in one bite!”
“Master, Sister Leng Yue wants to eat flood dragon meat!”
Huo Yao Yao twisted her body, smiling charmingly, not caring about the envious and jealous gazes from Leng Yue and Liu Xing as she enjoyed her exclusive treat.
It was most important to fill her own stomach!
“Hahaha, don’t worry, there’s enough for everyone, I guarantee you’ll all be full……”
Zhou Chen laughed heartily, just as he was about to reach out and pull Leng Yue over from behind, he suddenly felt a terrifying surge of monstrous waves coming from ahead.
“Holy shit!”
Zhou Chen’s pupils constricted, controlling the flying boat to soar into the sky, like a rocket shooting up towards the clouds.
“Ah!”
Huo Yao Yao, sitting on Zhou Chen’s lap, exclaimed, clinging tightly to him, the sudden change making her feel like she had been crushed.
Leng Yue and Liu Xing also hugged Zhou Chen tightly, stabilizing themselves.
In the blink of a eye, the flying boat reached a height of three hundred Zhang, slowly coming to a stable stop. Zhou Chen looked ahead, seeing hundred Zhang high waves rolling, like a super tsunami, unstoppable and devastating.
Even large ships tens of Zhang long on Yun Meng Marsh would be swallowed by these waves in an instant, sinking to the bottom of the lake, only those who could fly soared into the air, hearts pounding.
Huo Yao Yao collapsed softly into Zhou Chen’s arms, that sudden surge almost costing her half her life, it came too abruptly and fiercely.
“Flood dragon!?”
“There really is a flood dragon!”
Leng Yue and Liu Xing exclaimed, seeing an incredibly large and slender black shadow swimming amidst the monstrous waves, churning the water.
Although they didn’t see its exact appearance, it was most likely a flood dragon.
“Holy crap!”
Zhou Chen was speechless, he didn’t expect that while joking with the girls, they would actually encounter a flood dragon.
And this flood dragon was quite strong.
Even stronger than the Nascent Soul Realm old monsters Zhou Chen encountered in Blazing Dragon Valley, he estimated it to be at least a peak third-tier demonic beast.
Moreover, as a dragon-type creature, the flood dragon was in its element in the Eight Hundred Li Yun Meng Marsh, perhaps only a powerful Nascent Soul Grand Master or a Divine Seed Realm martial arts expert could contend with it.
The ninth revolution of Nascent Soul transforms into a foundation, the foundation plants a Divine Seed, the Divine Seed is the seed of a supernatural ability, this is the Divine Seed Realm, comparable to a Nascent Soul Grand Master of the Immortal Path.
When the Divine Seed sprouts and transforms into a supernatural ability, it becomes the Divine Ability Realm.
Possessing vast supernatural abilities, with boundless divine power.
“Roar!”
A deafening dragon roar pierced through gold and cracked stone, echoing through the sky, making people dizzy and their eardrums ache, some Divine Power Realm martial artists flying in the air plummeted into the water like dumplings.
These Divine Power Realm martial artists were all very ordinary, basically breaking through with one or two martial arts techniques, at the bottom of the Divine Power Realm.
“So strong!”
Huo Yao Yao’s pupils constricted. After being bestowed godhood by Zhou Chen, she had reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and as a genuine Divine Path cultivator, she wasn’t afraid of the flood dragon’s roar infused with dragon’s might.
But she could clearly sense the terror of this flood dragon.
Zhou Chen’s aura emanated, shielding Leng Yue and Liu Xing, his gaze fixed solemnly on the colossal creature in the lake ahead, patting Huo Yao Yao’s soft and plump buttocks.
Huo Yao Yao knew there was probably going to be a big battle, so she quickly got off Zhou Chen’s lap.
But her legs went weak, as if all her strength had been drained, Huo Yao Yao stumbled and fell into Zhou Chen’s arms.
Zhou Chen caught Huo Yao Yao, his brows raised, a strange look in his eyes.
“So powerful!”
“I didn’t even notice!”
In the turbulent sky above Yun Meng Marsh, a woman in white stood, seemingly out of nowhere.
The woman held a sword in one hand, the other behind her back, her figure tall and slender, standing in the air, wearing an iron mask.
But Zhou Chen could tell at a glance that she was a woman.
Although he couldn’t see the woman’s face, her posture and aura alone were unmatched.
She was like an insurmountable sword mountain, majestic and imposing, reaching the clouds, unattainable.
“This woman is so strong……”
Zhou Chen was secretly alarmed, although she hadn’t made a move yet, he could already sense her terrifying strength, she was definitely the strongest existence he had ever seen.
Even his master Li Chang Feng, Sect Master Qing Yu Yao, Lie Huo from Blazing Dragon Valley, and those old monsters were far inferior.
“Roar!” A dragon’s roar echoed, waves surged, a colossal creature, a hundred Zhang long, with two horns on its head and dragon claws on its belly, a black flood dragon, soared into the sky amidst the waves.
Its scales were as black as ink, shimmering with a metallic luster like black jade, the scales fine and dense, its slender body exuding boundless power.
The wind picked up!
Zhou Chen felt the wind and clouds suddenly change, a gale rising, heavy rain pouring down.
The rain grew heavier and heavier, its speed increasing, like sharp arrows carrying a terrifying piercing force, even his flying boat began to shake.
Zhou Chen had to activate the flying boat’s defense, forming a protective barrier, but the barrier was precarious in this torrential downpour, about to shatter at any moment!
“Could this be the flood dragon’s innate supernatural ability to summon wind and rain?”
Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows, steering the flying boat back, leaving the battlefield to the iron-masked woman and the flood dragon.
As for him going up to fight the flood dragon?
This flood dragon was so strong, with tough skin and thick flesh, even more terrifying than those old monsters from Blazing Dragon Valley, even with a divine weapon in hand, Zhou Chen would at most be evenly matched, or even lose.
However, it was impossible for this flood dragon to kill him.
This was the source of Zhou Chen’s confidence.
“Thunder, come!”
At this moment, the iron-masked woman suddenly raised her long sword, pointing it diagonally forward, Zhou Chen immediately felt a special change in the flow of energy between heaven and earth.
Boom!
A thunderclap resounded in the sky, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl descended from the heavens, striking the flood dragon with lightning speed.
“This seems to be a magical supernatural ability, this woman also cultivates both immortality and martial arts, her Immortal Path cultivation is at least at the Golden Core Realm……”
Zhou Chen squinted, observing the woman and the flood dragon.
Struck by the lightning, the flood dragon trembled and fell back into the lake, creating waves tens of meters high.
But this one bolt of lightning couldn’t kill it.
Enraged, the flood dragon rose from the water, spitting out a water column.
The water column was like a waterfall descending from the sky, plunging three thousand feet, sweeping towards the iron-masked woman.
Clang!
A clear sword cry rang out, the water column, like a waterfall, split into two and fell back into the lake, creating endless waves.
The flood dragon swooped down, engaging in a fierce battle with the iron-masked woman.
Sword Qi crisscrossed, waves surged.
The flood dragon roared, blood staining the sky.
“So powerful, the flood dragon is being suppressed, with no power to fight back, at this rate, it will surely die, but the flood dragon isn’t stupid, it will definitely try to escape……”
Zhou Chen was curious if the iron-masked woman could slay this flood dragon.
In this Eight Hundred Li Yun Meng Marsh, defeating an aquatic demonic beast was easy, but slaying it was difficult, especially a dragon-type beast like a flood dragon, naturally able to control water.
Once this flood dragon dived into the water, even if the iron-masked woman was stronger, she probably wouldn’t be able to do anything to it.
As expected.
Seeing that it couldn’t defeat the woman, the flood dragon turned and dived towards the lake.
“Freeze for Ten Thousand Miles!”
The iron-masked woman swung her sword, icy cold sword Qi sweeping in all directions, everything it passed turned into ice, despite it being the scorching July, it became bone-chillingly cold here.
A radius of ten miles was completely frozen, transformed into a world of ice and snow.
The hundred Zhang long flood dragon was frozen like amber.
Crack, crack, crack!
The flood dragon struggled with all its might, countless ice shards shattered, unable to fully contain it.
But freezing it for a moment was enough.
“Unbounded Sword!”
A sword light that couldn’t be described with any words flashed in Zhou Chen’s eyes, the struggling flood dragon in the ice was split in two, its head cleanly severed, blood frozen solid.
The flood dragon fell!
The iron-masked woman waved her hand, putting away the flood dragon’s corpse, transforming into a streak of sword light and disappearing without a trace.
“Sword like a rainbow over Yun Meng Marsh, an unparalleled heroine slays the flood dragon!”
“So impressive!”
Zhou Chen praised, feeling somewhat excited.
“With Master’s talent and charm, it won’t be long before you can also slay a flood dragon with a single sword, leading a generation of romance!”
Huo Yao Yao’s soft and delicate body pressed against Zhou Chen, her voice alluring, holding his hand, gently placing it somewhere.
“Hehe, leading a generation of romance isn’t as exciting as being with you!”
Zhou Chen scratched Huo Yao Yao’s delicate nose with his other hand, he had to admit, this woman was insatiable, but……
He liked it.
After all, which man could resist such a trendy temptress?
“Shameless!”
Leng Yue and Liu Xing cursed inwardly, but they also moved closer, unwilling to be outdone.
Zhou Chen felt the different charms of the three women, his Romance Points soaring, the flying boat swaying and speeding forward.
One day later.
Zhou Chen arrived at Yun Meng City, putting away the flying boat, Huo Yao Yao and the other two women returned to the Wind and Moon Mirror.
“I heard the seafood at Yun Meng Restaurant is exceptional, I’ll go and try it!”
Zhou Chen stepped into Yun Meng City.
As a prefectural city, Yun Meng City was similar in size to Qingyun City, bustling and prosperous, not inferior to Qingyun City, perhaps even surpassing it.
Qingyun City, being at the foot of Azure Cloud Mountain, was dominated by the Azure Cloud Sect, suppressing the development of other forces.
While Yun Meng City was right next to Yun Meng Marsh, its geographical location was even better, a hub for transportation, with a thriving fishing industry, and countless forces of all sizes.
Organizations like the Fishermen’s Gang and the Salt Gang’s headquarters were all here.
But Zhou Chen didn’t care, he had no dealings with the Fishermen’s Gang, and those in the Salt Gang who had a grudge against him were all dead, Gang Leader Qiao Bei Ming was very sensible.
Zhou Chen didn’t even bother with them.
But even though Zhou Chen didn’t bother with them, they came looking for him.
Before Zhou Chen could reach Yun Meng Restaurant, Salt Gang Leader Qiao Bei Ming, with the gang’s elders, retainers, and other high-ranking members, hurried over.
“I didn’t know True Disciple Zhou was gracing us with his presence, I apologize for not welcoming you sooner, please forgive me!”
Qiao Bei Ming greeted him with a smile.
It’s hard to refuse someone with a smiling face, Zhou Chen nodded lightly:
“Gang Leader Qiao is well-informed, you knew as soon as I entered the city!”
“I was fortunate enough to witness True Disciple Zhou’s impressive display of strength and prowess at the True Inheritance Ceremony and the True Inheritance Challenge, and I’ve been filled with admiration ever since, my yearning for you is like the endless flow of the river, hoping for a chance to fulfill my duty as a host.”
Fearing that Zhou Chen might misunderstand, Qiao Bei Ming quickly explained:
“So I instructed my subordinates to report to me immediately upon seeing True Disciple Zhou’s arrival, if there’s any offense, please forgive me, I’ll punish myself with three cups later!”
“I’ve already prepared a banquet at Yun Meng Restaurant to welcome True Disciple Zhou, I wonder if you would grace us with your presence?”
“Then thank you, Gang Leader Qiao!”
Zhou Chen didn’t refuse, he knew Qiao Bei Ming was definitely afraid of him seeking revenge, so he had instructed his subordinates to report to him immediately.
Now that he had agreed to Qiao Bei Ming’s banquet invitation, it would also put Qiao Bei Ming at ease, completely putting the matter of Bai Gui Nong behind them.
