Chapter 860: Chapter 856: Discovery of Xiang Mingzhi

As soon as he entered Thunder Valley, the immense thunder energy pressed down on Huang Xiaolong.

This thunder energy possessed extremely strong destructive power, and an ordinary God Level Second Stage Early Stage expert would likely be heavily injured the moment they entered the valley.

Huang Xiaolong activated Asura Energy, forming an Asura Barrier around his body to ward off the thunder energy as he continued flying forward.

After flying for half an hour, the thunder energy in the valley became increasingly intense.

Around him, strands of thunder energy entwined, filling every space in the valley, and along with the thunder energy, a dark gray mist floated through the valley. Though non-toxic, this mist impeded Divine Sense.

Huang Xiaolong spread his Divine Sense, but could only cover a thousand feet around him at most.

Suddenly, the space experienced a weak fluctuation.

Huang Xiaolong’s body flickered, dodging away, and just moments after dodging, he turned to see a winged serpent open its mouth, lunging at him again.

This winged serpent, although massive in size, was astonishingly fast, not inferior to an ordinary Divine-level Third Stage Middle Stage expert.

However, Huang Xiaolong was even faster.

With a flicker, Huang Xiaolong was instantly above its head, a long spear appearing in his hands, stabbing down at the center of its head.

The serpent let out a bizarre wail, and a jet of light blue blood spurted into the sky.

But to Huang Xiaolong’s surprise, the serpent’s defenses were exceedingly strong. When he stabbed down with his spear, its skin had astonishing elasticity and slipperiness, so what he thought would penetrate its head only pierced a foot deep, merely injuring its skin and flesh.

Wounded by Huang Xiaolong, the serpent, driven by pain, attacked him even more frenziedly.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaolong didn’t dodge. His body manifested a thousand arms, launching a thousand Nihility Divine Fists straight ahead.

Instantly, the sky was filled with fist shadows.

The winged serpent, which attacked Huang Xiaolong, was knocked back at an even faster speed, crashing violently against the valley’s rock wall several miles away. As it fell, its body smelt singed.

For a swift victory, Huang Xiaolong’s Nihility Divine Fist contained the power of Xuanwu Divine Fire.

The power of Xuanwu Divine Fire instantly invaded its body, extinguishing all life force, rendering even its soul unable to escape, leaving it utterly dead.

Without staying, Huang Xiaolong continued flying forward.

As he delved deeper, he encountered more Thunder Beasts.

The strongest among these Thunder Beasts had actually reached the Peak of Divine-level Third-stage Middle.

For those below the Divine Level Third-stage Early Stage, Huang Xiaolong usually resolved them in two or three moves. For the Peak of Divine-level Third-stage Middle, rather than engage in combat, Huang Xiaolong chose to avoid their pursuit by sword and continue flying forward.

Against Thunder Beasts at the Peak of Divine-level Third-stage Middle, with his current strength, it wouldn’t be difficult to defeat them using Heavenly God Mountain, but right now, Huang Xiaolong’s top priority was to find Xiang Mingzhi!

However, an hour later, Huang Xiaolong frowned because he still couldn’t sense Xiang Mingzhi’s presence.

Moreover, the valley turned out to be deeper and larger than he expected, seemingly endless.

At his speed, in an hour, he could make a round trip across the Martial Soul World.

Throughout his journey, he discovered many million-year-old spiritual medicines, but none over two million years, let alone those over three million years.

Of course, all the spiritual medicines of two million or three million years might have already been taken by those who entered earlier, presumably by Xiang Mingzhi!

The memory of two family disciples earlier revealed that fewer than ten disciples knew about the three-million-year-old spiritual medicines in this valley.

Thus, Huang Xiaolong hadn’t encountered other disciples in over an hour.

While flying forward, Huang Xiaolong’s brow suddenly twitched. Was this…? Joy appeared on his face. Xiang Mingzhi! It was the mark he left on Xiang Mingzhi!

Xiang Mingzhi was indeed in this valley and was not far ahead!

Speeding up again, Huang Xiaolong moved forward.

As he got closer, the fluctuating power of the mark left on Xiang Mingzhi grew stronger.

Moreover, a strange, enticing fragrance drifted over from ahead.

As Huang Xiaolong advanced, by a lake, Xiang Mingzhi coldly watched the four disciples surrounding him.

These four disciples included two at the Divine-level Third-stage Middle and two at the Divine-level Middle Stage Peak.

In the distance lay three disciples, seemingly dead not long ago, though whether killed by Xiang Mingzhi or the other four was unknown.

In the lake’s center floated a Nine-colored Flower, emitting layers of nine-colored radiance and bursts of strange fragrance.

This Nine-colored Flower was the legendary Nine-Colored Divine Flower with incredible effects, though no one knew its exact properties.

The flower before them had reached an age of three million years.

One of the four disciples surrounding Xiang Mingzhi spoke first, “Kid, if you give up competing with us for this Nine-colored Divine Flower, we can let you go.”

None of the four expected that Xiang Mingzhi, on the surface only at the Divine Level Second-stage Late Stage, possessed strength comparable to a Divine Level Third-stage Late Stage expert.

Otherwise, they would have taken action much earlier.

Xiang Mingzhi glanced at the four and suddenly chuckled, “What a joke. Just the four of you want to compete with me for the Nine-colored Divine Flower? I’ve changed my mind now. I want this Nine-colored Divine Flower, and none of you will leave!” After speaking, a cyan brilliance surged over Xiang Mingzhi’s body.

In the blink of an eye, dragon scales flickering with azure light covered him. From under his hands and feet, Dragon Spurs emerged.

This was Azure Dragon Academy’s highest skill, Azure Dragon Body.

At the same time, his body surged with lightning, thunder clouds continuously brewing and rolling as Xiang Mingzhi activated the Great Destruction Thunder Body.

The four were shocked and angry as Xiang Mingzhi attacked.

Lightning filled the sky, blasting towards the four.

Exchanging shocked and angered glances, the four held nothing back and made their moves.

Instantly, earth-shattering sounds echoed endlessly as the clash’s residual power caused the surrounding valley walls to collapse repeatedly, pulverizing all rocks, with thunder energy surging. Yet, what amazed them was the clash’s destructive power dissipated completely when it reached the Nine-colored Divine Flower.

The intense battle continued.

…

More than an hour later, Xiang Mingzhi coldly gazed at the four lifeless bodies and struggled to stand up, subsequently spitting out hot blood that dyed the ground red.

At first, he thought that after breaking through the Divine Level Second-stage Late Stage, relying on his Azure Dragon Body, Great Destruction Thunder Body, and Green Dragon Divine Fire, he could kill the four at the cost of minor injuries. Unexpectedly, the four also had hidden techniques, resulting in severe injuries for him.

Of course, the Nine-colored Divine Flower was now his!

Turning around, Xiang Mingzhi gazed at the Nine-colored Divine Flower with fiery eyes. If it were other three-million-year spiritual medicines, he wouldn’t have fought so hard, but the Nine-colored Divine Flower was different. He occasionally saw records of it in an Ancient Divine Scripture.

Just as Xiang Mingzhi was about to walk toward the Nine-colored Divine Flower, footsteps suddenly echoed.

“Who?!” Xiang Mingzhi was startled, looking over. Upon seeing the person’s face clearly, he was stunned, “Huang Xiaolong!” (To be continued.
