Chapter 89: Senior Martial Sister Severely Injured, Magical Treasure’s Divine Might
“Big Senior Sister, long time no see!”
“Yes, long time no see!”
Li Chang Hen’s eyes were filled with complex emotions. It had only been twenty-one days, but she felt as if it had been a long time since she last saw Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen had changed too much.
He had become a Foundation Establishment expert and even possessed a High-Grade Spirit Artifact.
Even the Divine Power Realm prodigy, the captain of the Qingzhou Guard, had fallen at his hands.
Thinking back to half a year ago when she first arrived in Qing He County, Zhou Chen was still a small constable, mingling with the other constables and calling a small-town Body Refinement, Third Level county captain “brother.”
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Chen had surpassed her.
“Big Senior Sister, I’ve been lucky. After entering, I managed to reach Foundation Establishment. Please keep this a secret, Senior Sister, and don’t tell anyone!”
Zhou Chen cupped his hands and bowed.
His Foundation Establishment cultivation was a major trump card, the perfect choice for surprise attacks and counter-kills.
If Sima Chang Kong had known he had Foundation Establishment cultivation and been prepared, it wouldn’t have been so easy for him to kill Sima Chang Kong just now.
He might have had to fight a hard battle.
“Don’t worry, Junior Brother. I will never breathe a word of what happened today!”
Li Chang Hen solemnly promised.
Everyone has secrets, and Zhou Chen keeping his Foundation Establishment cultivation secret was a huge guarantee for his safety.
“Thank you, Senior Sister!”
Zhou Chen knew that since Li Chang Hen had promised, she would definitely not reveal a word. He felt relieved.
Besides, his biggest secret was the Wind and Moon Mirror.
He picked up Sima Chang Kong’s saber. It was a Fourth-Tier Divine Weapon, far stronger than the General-Slaying Saber he had obtained from Bai Shi Jing.
“What a good saber!”
Zhou Chen caressed it, truly liking it. It was a pity he couldn’t use it openly.
“Junior Brother, it’s best not to use this saber in front of others. It’s easy for the people of the Qingzhou Guard to recognize it, and then they will definitely come looking for trouble with you!”
Li Chang Hen reminded him.
“Don’t worry, Senior Sister, I understand.”
Zhou Chen looted Sima Chang Kong’s storage pouch and treasures clean. With a flick of his finger, the Red God Flame flew out, burning Sima Chang Kong’s corpse to ashes.
Seeing Zhou Chen’s familiar methods of looting treasures and destroying the corpse, Li Chang Hen knew he had done this kind of thing before.
But it was normal.
Which cultivator doesn’t have a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood on their hands?
Even if you don’t cause trouble, others will find you.
Killing was inevitable.
After dealing with the corpse, Zhou Chen picked the Purple Frost Heavenly Soul and carefully stored it in a jade box.
Li Chang Hen parted her red lips slightly, wanting to speak but hesitating.
“Senior Sister, if you have something to say, just say it.”
“I know there’s a Dragon Tree Blood Lotus in the Azure Water Cold Pool not far from here, but there’s a Second-Tier Mid-Stage Blood Flood Dragon dwelling in that pool.”
Demon beasts were not weak among martial artists and cultivators of the same rank, and demon beasts related to dragons were even more extraordinary in battle prowess. Flood dragons were comparable to top experts of the same rank.
And a Second-Tier Mid-Stage was equivalent to the Divine Form Realm, and even a top expert within the Divine Form Realm.
Li Chang Hen was no match for the Blood Flood Dragon at all.
Even if Jian Xiong came, she would be soundly defeated.
But she had discovered that Zhou Chen had Foundation Establishment cultivation, practiced both Immortal and Martial paths, and even had a High-Grade Spirit Artifact flying sword, which gave her the idea of working with Zhou Chen to get the Dragon Tree Blood Lotus.
The Dragon Tree Blood Lotus was a miraculous medicine for body refinement, very useful for the eighth level of Body Refinement, the Golden Body Realm. It could make a Golden Body even stronger and even imbue it with a trace of dragon’s might.
“Dragon Tree Blood Lotus…”
Zhou Chen’s heart stirred.
This was a Third-Tier Spirit Herb, even more precious than the Purple Frost Heavenly Soul he had just obtained.
Especially since the Unparalleled Divine Art, Heaven-Supporting Sword, he had just obtained required a lot of Romance Points. If he got the Dragon Tree Blood Lotus and added the Purple Frost Heavenly Soul, it could save him at least a million Romance Points.
“Senior Sister, I’ll go and lure away the Blood Flood Dragon, and then you seize the opportunity to pick the Dragon Tree Blood Lotus!”
Zhou Chen said without hesitation.
“Have you thought it through? A Second-Tier Mid-Stage Blood Flood Dragon, even if you’re at the Foundation Establishment Realm, it’s very easy to be severely injured, or even…”
Li Chang Hen didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.
He might even die.
“Don’t worry, Senior Sister, I have ways to protect myself!”
Zhou Chen smiled.
If he only had a High-Grade Spirit Artifact, he wouldn’t dare to provoke the might of a Second-Tier Mid-Stage Blood Flood Dragon. But he also had the High-Grade Spirit Artifact Fire Dragon Armor, the Black Tortoise Shield, and the Wind-Riding Boots.
With this set of High-Grade equipment, Zhou Chen was confident in dealing with the Blood Flood Dragon. There wouldn’t be any danger at all.
“Alright then!”
Li Chang Hen was not indecisive. Seeing that Zhou Chen was confident, she immediately led him towards the Azure Water Cold Pool.
The best light body skill in the Azure Cloud Sect was the Lightning Flash Divine Movement Steps. Li Chang Hen had long mastered it. Her long, straight legs moved, taking her dozens of meters with each step. Her speed was extremely fast.
“Senior Sister’s legs are really long.”
Zhou Chen unhurriedly followed behind, controlling his flying sword and smelling the faint, lingering fragrance left by Big Senior Sister in the air. His heart was racing.
Especially when Big Senior Sister moved quickly, her perky buttocks swayed, perfectly blending with the curve of her back. Zhou Chen’s throat bobbed as he watched.
He wanted to enter the Dao and cultivate!
Zhou Chen couldn’t help but think of Jian Xiong.
He missed her terribly.
Li Chang Hen’s body trembled slightly, and she sped up again.
“Junior Brother is really a little pervert!”
Li Chang Hen’s cultivation was the same as Jian Xiong’s, Body Refinement, Twelfth Transformation. She was very sensitive to gazes and could feel Zhou Chen’s burning stare on her back.
Even without looking, she knew Zhou Chen wanted to devour her.
She didn’t want to think about it too much.
Desire for food and sex is human nature.
Which man isn’t lustful?
Even those who pretended to be gentlemen in front of her, weren’t their hearts filled with those filthy thoughts?
Zhou Chen just didn’t hide it.
Judge by actions, not thoughts. No one is perfect in their thoughts.
As long as Zhou Chen didn’t act on it, he was still her good Junior Brother.
Besides, looking wouldn’t make her lose any flesh.
Moreover, wasn’t this the greatest affirmation of her beauty and figure?
The saddest thing for a woman wasn’t that men only wanted to sleep with her.
But that no man was willing to sleep with her when she was in bed.
“We’re here!”
Li Chang Hen suddenly stopped. Zhou Chen, who had been admiring her beautiful waist and hips from behind, almost crashed into her.
He landed beside Li Chang Hen, standing shoulder to shoulder with her, his gaze looking forward.
It was a huge cold pool with a diameter of about a hundred Zhang.
The pool water was green and bottomless.
And in the center of the cold pool, there was a blood-red tree.
The leaves were like lotus leaves, but blood-red in color. There were three blood-red lotus pods on the tree.
“Dragon Tree Blood Lotus…”
Looking at the swaying Dragon Tree Blood Lotus, Zhou Chen curiously sized it up for a moment before saying directly:
“Senior Sister, wait for me here, I’ll go lure away the Blood Flood Dragon!”
“Be careful, Junior Brother!”
“Leave it to me!”
Zhou Chen stepped on his High-Grade Spirit Artifact Wind-Riding Boots, controlling his Fire Dragon Sword and holding the Sunset Bow. He shot an arrow towards the Azure Water Cold Pool.
Boom!
The water in the cold pool exploded, sending countless splashes into the air.
“Roar!”
A water column shot up into the sky, and a blood-red flood dragon rushed out, letting out an angry roar.
It was fifteen Zhang long, entirely blood-red. Its fine scales were like rubies, sparkling brilliantly in the sunlight, dazzling and eye-catching.
Its pair of blood-red pupils stared fixedly at Zhou Chen, radiating a terrifying killing intent, but it didn’t rush to kill him.
“It seems that this Blood Flood Dragon values the Dragon Tree Blood Lotus very much. It didn’t rush out directly…”
Zhou Chen raised the Sunset Bow, drawing it to its full length in an instant. A full moon rose behind him.
The second form of Yi’s Archery.
Race to the Moon!
Whoosh!
The arrow was like a shooting star, flying towards the Blood Flood Dragon.
“So powerful!”
Li Chang Hen’s eyes narrowed. The Race to the Moon that Zhou Chen had just used had reached the Complete Mastery level, far from what it was during the True Inheritance Ceremony.
If she knew that Zhou Chen had even practiced Shoot the Sun to the Complete Mastery level, she didn’t know if she would be scared to death.
Clang!
The Blood Flood Dragon’s body was too large, and the arrow was too fast. It couldn’t dodge, but Zhou Chen’s arrow didn’t even pierce its scales.
“Its defense is too terrifying.”
Zhou Chen’s eyes widened in shock.
He had thought that a Blood Flood Dragon comparable to the Divine Form Realm or Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment would be strong, but he didn’t expect its defense to be this strong. However, although the arrow hadn’t pierced the Blood Flood Dragon’s scales, it had caused it pain.
“Roar!”
The Blood Flood Dragon roared angrily.
Zhou Chen grinned, giving the Blood Flood Dragon the middle finger:
“Come and bite me!”
“Roar!”
The Blood Flood Dragon was completely enraged. A tiny ant dared to provoke its mighty dragon self.
He was courting death!
The Blood Flood Dragon whipped its tail, launching itself towards Zhou Chen.
“I’m running!”
Pouring magical power into his Wind-Riding Boots, Zhou Chen stepped on his Fire Dragon Sword and turned into a streak of fire, fleeing.
“Roar!”
The Blood Flood Dragon roared, its speed not much slower than Zhou Chen’s.
In an instant, the man and the dragon flew hundreds of meters, disappearing from Li Chang Hen’s sight.
“This is my chance!”
Looking at the disappearing figure of the Blood Flood Dragon, Li Chang Hen immediately used her light body skill to rush towards the Azure Water Cold Pool.
Her speed was extremely fast. She walked on water, arriving in front of the Dragon Tree Blood Lotus in the blink of an eye. She reached out to pluck the blood lotus.
“Roar!”
The water surface suddenly exploded as a Blood Flood Dragon opened its bloody maw and bit towards Li Chang Hen.
“There’s another one?”
Li Chang Hen was stunned.
At that moment of life and death, her hair stood on end. Fortunately, she had mastered the Lightning Flash Divine Movement Steps and was extremely fast. At the critical moment, she dodged the Blood Flood Dragon’s bloody maw.
But her body was still grazed by the Blood Flood Dragon’s horn. She flew backward, her chest in excruciating pain, her blood churning.
“This seems to be a female flood dragon, and it’s only at the Second-Tier Early Stage!”
Li Chang Hen realized that this Blood Flood Dragon was far inferior to the one Zhou Chen had lured away. With her Body Refinement, Twelfth Transformation cultivation, she could fight it!
Boom!
Li Chang Hen drew her bow and nocked an arrow. A full moon rose behind her, and she shot an arrow fiercely towards the female flood dragon’s eye.
She had to repel this female flood dragon and take the Dragon Tree Blood Lotus before the other Blood Flood Dragon returned.
Clang!
The female flood dragon was startled, turning its head and closing its eye. The arrow arrived in an instant, hitting its eyelid.
The eyelid was a weak spot, and Li Chang Hen, with her Body Refinement, Twelfth Transformation cultivation, was comparable to an ordinary Divine Power Realm expert. The power of her arrow was stronger than Zhou Chen’s.
The female flood dragon, only at the Second-Tier Early Stage, was immediately blinded in one eye.
It rolled in pain, its ferocity aroused. Its dragon tail whipped towards Li Chang Hen.
She narrowly dodged, shooting another arrow.
This time, the female flood dragon, prepared in advance, avoided its vital eye. The arrow hit its head, but only penetrated three inches. For the massive female flood dragon, it was just a minor injury.
“Damn it! Do I have to give up just like that?”
Li Chang Hen was anxious. She wasn’t afraid of this female flood dragon, but it was also difficult to kill it, and the powerful male flood dragon could return at any time!
“Roar!”
At this moment, an angry roar sounded. Li Chang Hen was startled because it wasn’t the roar of the female flood dragon, but the male flood dragon.
The male flood dragon was back!
Li Chang Hen had no choice but to turn and run.
However, the male flood dragon’s return speed was beyond Li Chang Hen’s imagination.
The male flood dragon was furious.
It had almost been robbed of its home.
Its mate had been bullied.
Its heart was burning with rage.
Opening its mouth, it spewed out a stream of blood-red flames, heading straight for Li Chang Hen.
Li Chang Hen was knocked into the cold pool, and the female flood dragon seized the opportunity to attack.
“You’re courting death!”
Zhou Chen was anxious. As he rushed over, he drew his bow like a full moon. A phantom of an arrow god appeared behind him: Hou Yi Shooting the Sun.
The third form of Yi’s Archery!
The arrow was like a shooting star, like a bolt of lightning, instantly piercing the air and hitting the female flood dragon’s open maw.
“Roar!”
The female flood dragon cried out in pain and sank to the bottom of the pool.
Although Zhou Chen’s martial arts cultivation wasn’t high, with the blessing of the Arrow Soul, the power of this arrow was no less than Li Chang Hen’s!
It was even more lethal!
Even if the female flood dragon didn’t die, it was definitely severely injured.
The male flood dragon was enraged. Blood-red flames ignited all over its body, and it swung its claw fiercely at Li Chang Hen.
Li Chang Hen instinctively raised her bow to block, but she was sent flying by the claw, a deep claw mark appearing on her chest, bone-deep.
“Senior Sister!”
Zhou Chen rushed over with all his might, grabbing Li Chang Hen who had fallen into the cold pool.
The male flood dragon seized the opportunity to attack, its blood claw aiming for Zhou Chen’s head.
The Black Tortoise Shield appeared.
The two collided fiercely. Zhou Chen, holding Li Chang Hen, was sent flying, crashing onto the edge of the cold pool.
The male flood dragon swooped down, wanting to kill them both.
Zhou Chen’s eyes hardened.
“Damn it, I’m going to kill you!”
Zhou Chen summoned a Low-Grade Magical Treasure, the Small Blazing Fire Sword, from the Blazing Fire Sword Array.
As soon as the Small Blazing Fire Sword appeared, the surrounding temperature instantly rose, and a terrifying aura surged. The male flood dragon was terrified, turning to flee, wanting to dive into the cold pool.
“Die!”
Zhou Chen urged the Small Blazing Fire Sword, slashing down.
The vast magical power of the Early Stage Foundation Establishment was instantly drained.
Zhou Chen felt like his entire body had been hollowed out!
But the effect was significant.
The Small Blazing Fire Sword transformed into a ten-Zhang giant sword, slashing down towards the male flood dragon’s head.
Dragon blood splattered the Azure Pool.
The male flood dragon’s head was easily severed like tofu. Blood gushed out, dyeing the Azure Water Cold Pool crimson.
The might of a Magical Treasure.
Clearly evident.
“This… This is…”
Li Chang Hen’s beautiful eyes widened. She stared at the ten-Zhang giant sword in shock, as if in a dream:
“This is a Magical Treasure!?”
She had thought that Zhou Chen reaching Foundation Establishment and having a High-Grade Spirit Artifact was already a great opportunity, but she didn’t expect him to even have a Magical Treasure.
This opportunity was too great.
“Add points.”
Feeling his empty dantian, truly not a single drop left, Zhou Chen immediately added points.
He added his remaining ten thousand Romance Points.
In an instant, Zhou Chen’s dantian was filled with magical power again, and his cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Realm even slightly increased.
“Phew!”
Feeling the abundant magical power in his dantian, Zhou Chen let out a long breath.
Even though he had no magical power, his martial arts cultivation was still there, but that feeling of emptiness was unbearable, making him feel panicked and uneasy.
Just like having a full wallet made people feel at ease.
Putting away the Small Blazing Fire Sword, Zhou Chen came to Li Chang Hen’s side and squatted down:
“Senior Sister, how is your injury?”
“It’s quite serious. I’m afraid I’ll have to lie down for two months!”
Li Chang Hen’s voice was weak. Looking into Zhou Chen’s eyes, she said solemnly:
“Don’t worry, Junior Brother, I swear, I will never reveal a word of what happened today. If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning…” Um…”
Zhou Chen reached out and covered her rosy lips, smiling faintly: “There’s no need to swear, Senior Sister. Of course, I trust you!”
“Thank you, Junior Brother!”
Li Chang Hen was touched. If it were anyone else, they might have killed her to silence her.
A Magical Treasure was something that even Golden Core cultivators would covet.
If it were exposed, even the Azure Cloud Sect might not be able to protect Zhou Chen, unless he stayed within the sect and never went down the mountain.
“There’s no need to be so polite with me, Senior Sister.”
Zhou Chen smiled and looked at Li Chang Hen’s chest. A blood-red claw mark stood out starkly against her snowy white skin, blood still oozing out.
“Senior Sister, I’m proficient in a healing technique that can help you recover quickly, but I’ll have to offend your body!”
Looking at the bloody wound, Zhou Chen said to Li Chang Hen.
“Just do it, Junior Brother. We cultivators don’t fuss over such trifles!”
Li Chang Hen said nonchalantly, but a rare blush appeared on her pale cheeks, betraying her shyness.
“Senior Sister, bear with it!”
Zhou Chen was very experienced in healing. Looking at the deep claw mark on Li Chang Hen’s chest, he used his Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand and pressed down.
“The first touch will hurt a little!”
