Chapter 109: Still the Wind and Waves
"Since that is the case." Lingkongzi stood up. "I have given you a chance."
As her voice fell, she stepped back two paces and took out the brush covered in dense talismans from her sleeve.
Then, she took out a scroll from her sleeve.
As soon as this golden scroll appeared in her hand, it immediately emitted brilliant precious light. The entire backyard was illuminated by that precious light, even the momentum of the bean-sized raindrops pouring down was slowed, every water droplet illuminated crystal clear, refracting the brilliance of this Precious Scroll even more!
“This is the Luo Shu Ancient Scroll.” Lingkongzi said slowly. “It is the supreme treasure of my Langya Grotto-Heaven, capable of writing the supreme principles of ten thousand miles of heaven and earth. Now I use it to write, just like your Painting School paints spirits. But... not the same.”
“If you harbor luck because you haven't seen the power of my Orthodoxy's treasures, then—”
“Just watch.”
With a wave of her plain hand, this golden Precious Scroll unfolded in mid-air. A three-foot scroll, almost the length of a small table. It was empty, only blank paper emitting hazy green light.
But said as soon as this Luo Shu Ancient Scroll came out, precious aura soared to the sky, brilliance resplendent. The entire Dragon King Temple instantly became the brightest place in Weicheng.
Seeing this precious light, the Dragon Son roared and swooped down with wind and thunder! His true body, if laid horizontally on the ground, could extend for a kilometer—equivalent to the entire Tao Creek Road. Now the full-force dive of this lofty giant beast instantly exploded a rolling muffled thunder in the air. Rain clouds were carried along by him, bright electric light flashing between cloud layers—the dragon body instantly disappeared into the clouds, turning into a tornado stabbing down from the dark high heaven flashing with terrifying electric light in the blink of an eye—stabbing straight at that small courtyard in Weicheng!
Li Yunxin looked up at the cloud, felt the whole heaven pressing down.
From far away, it was just a slender vine probing from the cloud layer. But on the ground... the very end slender part of this "tornado" was already a cloud mass huge enough to wrap seven or eight courtyards.
Behind the cloud mass, Dragon Son Chiwen's micro-light flashing horns, whiskers, sharp teeth were faintly visible, illuminated particularly hideously by lightning.
Li Yunxin, saw that huge eye for the second time—one eye was as tall as him alone.
And this entire head, like a small mountain—
Crashing down!
Still a hundred meters from the ground, but the breaking wind pressure had blown apart Li Yunxin's hair bun, even the square table in the yard, along with bowls and plates on it, were torn to pieces. All green tiles on a whole patch of house roofs cracked into small fragments, houses began to groan under unbearable load.
It was amidst such terrifying thunder, wind, rain, and roar that Lingkongzi raised that brush, on that Luo Shu Ancient Scroll, wrote three characters—
Still, The, Wind, And, Waves!
As soon as characters formed, this whole world...
Abruptly quieted down!
Wind, rain, thunder, disappeared without a trace in an instant. As if a pair of invisible giant hands instantly swapped the negative of violent storm and thunder with a silent film of bright moon and sparkling stars!
Previous moment ears still had deafening roar, body still had bone-chilling wind and rain, at this moment clouds gathered rain stopped, night sky clear, as if all previous were illusions!
And that Dragon Son who was roaring and diving abruptly lost clouds and rain, instantly transformed back into human form, crashed down from that hundred-meter high sky with a boom.
This fall, earth and stone splashed in the courtyard, instantly smashing a two-foot deep pit.
This pit was right next to Li Yunxin and Lingkongzi. But this Orthodoxy cultivator was not anxious or impetuous, didn't even step back half a step. Only after the loud boom subsided, and the Ninth Prince transformed into human form climbed up from the ground in annoyance, did she say softly: "Offer the Lucid Jade Slip. Or can become the Guardian Beast of the Mountain."
Only at this moment were human voices heard.
Children crying, women exclaiming, chickens crowing, dogs barking, all erupted abruptly at this moment.
Weicheng's population of hundreds of thousands, more than one person, had seen the anomaly of the tornado wrapped in lightning. If there were bold and sharp-eyed ones, previously could even see, dragon body looming in clouds and mist!
Such strong wind and heavy rain could count as a natural disaster. Those with dilapidated houses in the city had collapsed tonight. And houses near the Dragon King Temple, because of the Dragon Son's full-force strike just now—even good houses covered with green tiles were difficult to support, looking about to crumble!
So people knew...
Lord Dragon King was angry!
That True Dragon, appeared!
Right in the direction of the Dragon King Temple!
People near the Dragon King Temple naturally fled in panic—who cares about Lord Dragon King manifesting, save life first!
And those further away, originally trembling, suddenly saw the sky clear and rain stop, like a nightmare, also felt curious—who can see a True Dragon in a lifetime?!
Since clouds and rain stopped...
Why not hurry to the Dragon King Temple to look, see if Lord Dragon King dropped a dragon scale, dragon whisker... at worst, can also touch dragon energy. So gradually people became bold, walked towards the Dragon King Temple. At first sporadic, then in groups of three or five. After a quarter of an hour, already calling friends and companions—
All said Divine Dragon manifested at Dragon King Temple, going to pick up dragon whiskers and scales!
Such noise... soon surged from all directions.
And at this time this Dragon Son without wind and rain, had stood firm in the courtyard. He glared at that Lingkongzi, a pair of eyes turned from dark black to light yellow, thin line pupils meant he was in extreme rage at this moment.
He grinned angrily, revealing two rows of extremely sharp teeth: "Do you know I am Chiwen?! My father is the common master of all demons in the world, the only Divine Dragon in this age?! You seek death—!"
After saying this, he waved his robe sleeve, wanting to rise from clouds into the high sky again.
However this time... Li Yunxin saw looming dragon scales surface under his white robe but quickly dissipate like phantoms. Several clusters of water vapor generated around the Ninth Prince, but just like white mist breathed out in cold winter, disappeared in an instant.
He didn't leave via clouds this time... feet still firmly fixed on the ground.
But saw Lingkongzi reach out gently to smooth a strand of fine hair by her ear, looking at the Dragon Son: "Wind and waves settled, where else do you want to go?"
“You are naturally a born Great Demon body, ordinary people can't do anything to you. Even if I am at peak Manifestation Realm, can only severely injure you. But today, I brought this magic artifact, laid down an array. I have cut off your Karma with this world, your magic power is isolated outside Weicheng walls and unusable, can you feel it?”
“If not for fear of harming lives of this whole city in vain, I could have turned you into blood rain when you were in the air, how could allow you to be noisy here.”
“Offer the Jade Slip. Or can be Guardian Beast of the Mountain!”
Hearing Lingkongzi say these words, the originally furious Ninth Prince suddenly laughed grimly. He simply stopped trying to fly, hands behind back, eyes staring straight at the Precious Scroll in front of Lingkongzi: "Eh? Magic artifact? What magic artifact?"
Li Yunxin recognized this look.
That night he took the Lucid Jade Slip from him, exactly the same look.
