Chapter 447: 355 Kill the Red Fire Flood Dragon (No More Today)_1

Outer Sea, a vast expanse of azure waters.

A deafening boom echoed through the sky as a massive mushroom cloud of fiery red shot up conspicuously.

A streak of golden escape light flew out, revealing a corpulent elder robed in gold, his expression panicked, his left arm gone, and his body marked with burn scars.

A resounding dragon roar followed from behind, as over a hundred giant fireballs flew towards the elder, intent on smashing into him.

The elder hastily summoned a banner flag, shimmering with golden light, and cast a spell into it. The golden banner instantly enlarged, unleashing a golden tornado a hundred feet tall that swept forward to meet the fiery onslaught.

Loud booms rang out as the giant fireballs exploded mid-air, scattering flames in every direction.

A considerably sized Red Fire Flood Dragon emerged from the flames, lunging at the gold-robed elder.

Just then, a streak of red firelight shone brightly and a towering red-shirted youth appeared, his back adorned with a pair of wings that flickered with red light.

In the hands of the red-shirted youth was a red staff—it was Shen Long, having altered his appearance.

After eradicating Yin Shan and Liu Mei, he rushed to the Zihu marketplace, publicly revealing himself to visit the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Han Family and to gather information.

He stayed in the marketplace for three days before changing his appearance again and leaving the Inner Sea. He teleported to the Outer Sea, heading to the waters where Song He and others had encountered the fourth-order Flood Dragon, searching far and wide.

For over a month, Shen Long found no trace of the fourth-order Red Fire Flood Dragon, and just as he was about to give up, he discovered the Flood Dragon slaughtering a Nascent Soul Cultivator and promptly took action.

When the Red Fire Flood Dragon saw Shen Long blocking its path, it flew into a rage. It swung its right claw towards Shen Long, and had it connected, it would have smashed a Sky-Supporting Peak into dust.

Shen Long wielded the Lihuo Stick to meet the attack; the stick collided with the claw of the Red Fire Flood Dragon with a clang of metal striking metal, sending the Flood Dragon flying backwards.

The gold-robed elder was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.

"Fellow Daoist hopes to profit as the fisherman watching two fish fight? Leave this place immediately, or don’t blame me for being unkind,"

Shen Long said gravely.

Yin Shan and Liu Mei had plotted against Shen Long, which is why he had eliminated them. He bore no grudge against the gold-robed elder and would not strike him down mercilessly.

"Be careful, fellow Daoist. This Red Fire Flood Dragon possesses powerful divine skills,"

the gold-robed elder advised before transforming into a streak of golden light and making a swift departure.

Shen Long expanded his divine sense, detecting no presence of other Cultivators within three hundred miles.

With a flick of his wrist, the Ice Flood Dragon, the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon, and the Iron Tail Scorpion flew out from the Spirit Beast Bracelet, charging towards the Red Fire Flood Dragon.

The Ice Flood Dragon let out a sonorous howl as it soared towards the Red Fire Flood Dragon.

Shen Long turned his hand over, and with a flash of purple light, the Purple Pupil Bead appeared in his grasp. He channelled his full power into the bead, allowing him to clearly see up to four hundred miles away, ensuring no other Cultivators would approach.

One of the Ghost Pigeon’s heads breathed out a beam of blue light, transforming into a hundred-foot-high blue tornado, barrelling straight for the Red Fire Flood Dragon.

The Red Fire Flood Dragon expelled a red sonic wave, shattering the blue tornado, followed by over a hundred giant ice blades that flew towards it and struck its body, emitting ’ding ding’ sounds. They seemed to merely tickle the Flood Dragon, leaving not a single mark on its hide.

A gigantic ice blade burst into dazzling white light, and the Ice Flood Dragon emerged, spewing cold air as it clashed with the Red Fire Flood Dragon.

Dragon roars continued unceasingly, with red and white light shining in the sky. Both at the fourth rank in the early stage, the Ice Flood Dragon evidently had the upper hand.

Before long, the Red Fire Flood Dragon was defeated and fell from the battle, with many scales detaching from its body. The Ice Flood Dragon’s surface was covered with a layer of white ice armor, completely unharmed.

Knowing it was no match, the Red Fire Flood Dragon spewed out a thick stream of red flames onto the Ice Flood Dragon, generating a burst of white smoke but quickly, the white light on the Ice Flood Dragon’s surface shone intensely, dispersing the fierce flames.

Seizing the opportunity, the Red Fire Flood Dragon plunged towards the sea surface, intending to escape into the depths.

A gust of wind blew past, and the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon appeared above the Red Fire Flood Dragon, its four heads each emitting a blue aura, which enveloped the Red Fire Flood Dragon’s body. The Red Fire Flood Dragon vibrated and struggled violently, letting out deafening roars as it tried to escape from the range of the blue aura’s influence.

The Ice Flood Dragon released a thick beam of white light which hit the sea, instantly freezing the waters. The ice spread rapidly, and within a hundred miles, the sea turned into a glacier that appeared out of nowhere.

The Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon’s sharp claws landed on the Red Fire Flood Dragon, and the dragon’s massive body hit the glacier, causing it to crack as deep fissures spread across.

The Red Fire Flood Dragon struggled fiercely, and on its surface could be seen a mini flood dragon, apparently trying to leave its body.

A piercing screech rang out, and the Red Fire Flood Dragon’s head drooped, disoriented; the mini flood dragon was pulled out by the blue aura and swallowed by the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon.

The Red Fire Flood Dragon thus perished!

Shen Long looked on with appreciation; it was no wonder the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon was an Ancient Great Demon. Even without the help of the Iron Tail Scorpion and the Ice Flood Dragon, it could have dealt with the Red Fire Flood Dragon, though not as effortlessly.

"Someone’s coming, come back now."

Shen Long instructed, retracting the body of the Red Fire Flood Dragon as well as the Lihuo Stick.

The Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon, the Ice Flood Dragon, and the Iron Tail Scorpion all flew back into the Spirit Beast Bracelet, and Shen Long stood in midair.

Not long after, a red escape light emerged from the distant horizon, then halted with a flash, revealing a flying boat that continuously shined with red light. A tall, blue-robed elder and a slender, red-dressed woman stood on the red flying boat.

"A Flying Spirit Treasure!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Long’s eyes.

The blue-robed elder scanned the area with a frown, then cupped his fists and said, "I am Wei Hai. Fellow Taoist, where is the fourth rank Red Fire Flood Dragon?"

"Taoist Friend Wei and Fairy Zhao have arrived a step too late. I have slain that flood dragon,"

Shen Long stated calmly as if discussing a matter of no consequence.

He did not recognize these two Nascent Soul Cultivators but had seen their portraits.

The blue-robed elder was the Ten Thousand Waves True Monarch. Wei Tianming was a descendant of the True Monarch, and the red-dressed lady was Fairy Hongmei. The red flying boat was the Mysterious Fire Boat, a Flying Spirit Treasure, and they were both among the Northern Sea’s Ten Immortals.

"What! You’ve slain it?"

The face of the Ten Thousand Waves True Monarch showed shock.

Fairy Hongmei was wide-eyed and speechless; they had received the news that a fourth rank Red Fire Flood Dragon had appeared here and had hurried over to eliminate it. To their astonishment, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the middle stage had slain the flood dragon.

"Is there a problem?"

Shen Long spoke calmly.

"No problem. May I know how the fellow Taoist likes to be addressed?"

Ten Thousand Waves True Monarch said politely.

"Junior Sister Zhao Mei, I have seen the fellow Taoist."

Fairy Hongmei bowed slightly and introduced herself.

"My surname is Long, and I have urgent matters to attend to, so I won’t stay for long. Farewell."

After Shen Long said this, he turned into a streak of red escape light and shot into the sky.

Ten Thousand Waves True Monarch hesitated, chose not to act, and let Shen Long leave.

"Taoist Friend Wei, you actually didn’t stop that man? Don’t you want the fourth-order flood dragon essence blood?"

Fairy Hongmei said with a smile.

"Hmph, this person was able to kill a fourth-order Red Fire Flood Dragon all by himself, his divine skills surpassing ordinary people. Look at his condition, he doesn’t look like someone who has just been through a tough fight at all. His divine sense is exceptionally strong. He detected us from three hundred miles away."

Ten Thousand Waves True Monarch explained, his eyes filled with wariness.

He was not a kindhearted person. If Shen Long had been seriously injured, Ten Thousand Waves True Monarch would not have let him leave. But Shen Long was unscathed, and he hadn’t used much mana.

"I’m very curious as to how this person managed to kill a fourth-order flood dragon in such a short time. Even if he had a complete set of spiritual treasures, it shouldn’t be so easy! Look at his condition, it seems he killed the fourth-order Red Fire Flood Dragon without breaking a sweat."

Fairy Hongmei expressed her doubts.

"Who knows, there are many capable and unusual individuals in the Cultivation Realm. It’s better to steer clear of such people. Don’t think that just because we’re listed among the top ten immortals of the Northern Sea, some Nascent Soul Cultivators with divine skills aren’t well-known; they simply keep a low profile and avoid fame and fortune. Most likely, this person belongs to that type of Nascent Soul Cultivator."

Ten Thousand Waves True Monarch said gravely.

"Taoist Friend Wei, do you think this person could be a Soul Transformation Cultivator?"

Fairy Hongmei brought up a bold conjecture.

"Impossible! A Soul Transformation Cultivator would address us as equals?"

Ten Thousand Waves True Monarch raised an objection.

"What’s so strange about that? Some ancient eccentric Soul Transformation Cultivators don’t care about such vain formalities, hiding their cultivation and mingling among lower-level cultivators."

Fairy Hongmei explained her view.

"Well, that’s unclear. But it’s right not to oppose this person. Since the fourth-order Red Fire Flood Dragon has been killed, let’s head back!"

Ten Thousand Waves True Monarch suggested.

Fairy Hongmei nodded her head, and the Mysterious Fire Boat burst into a dazzling red light, turning into a streak of red light flying back the way they came, soon disappearing from view.

······

Sun Moon Island, Sun Moon Palace headquarters.

In a serene silver estate, Song Lianyue and Chu Buyu sat around a bluish stone table, sipping tea and chatting casually.

"Two Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Hundred Ghosts Sect were killed? Did you send someone to do it?"

Song Lianyue asked.

"No, I’m just as curious as to who did it. I’ve asked our affiliated forces, but they have no idea. The Wu Family doesn’t know who did it either."

Chu Buyu said, his face etched with confusion.

"That’s strange. Even if Yin Shan and Liu Mei couldn’t hold their own, with a fourth-order formation protecting them, they should have been able to delay and escape for a while, unless the island’s protective formation was broken very quickly."

Song Lianyue voiced her doubts.

"Master, should I send someone to investigate this matter?"

Chu Buyu suggested.

"No need. Yin Shan and Liu Mei were our enemies anyway. If they’re dead, so be it. I have a mission for you to carry out."

Song Lianyue instructed.

"What is it?"

Chu Buyu inquired.

"Zhou Yuhua of the Zhou Family has advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage and is holding a Nascent Soul Ceremony, inviting guests from all over. We have also received an invitation. You and Xu Xin will represent our Sun Moon Palace to congratulate Zhou Yuhua, and at the same time, investigate the truth behind Junior Sister Lin’s death. Junior Sister Lin traveled to the Western Desert Cultivation Realm and died there, and it’s unclear who did it."

Song Lianyue gave her orders.

"Should we eliminate the murderer or capture them alive?"

Chu Buyu continued to inquire.

"Capturing them alive won’t be easy. Just kill them! Find out the reason the murderer killed Junior Sister Lin."

Song Lianyue instructed.

"Right now, we’re frequently in conflict with the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Should we wait until the fighting ends before we go?"

Chu Buyu requested guidance.

"With us here, Lin Feng wouldn’t dare to cause trouble. Go without worry! We will be able to settle the conflicts."

Song Lianyue commanded in an undeniable tone.

"Yes, master."

Chu Buyu readily agreed.
