Dragon Tamer-Chapter 738 - 742: Out of Water

Chapter 738 -742: Out of Water

“Roar roar roar!!!!!!”

Just as Zhu Minglang had absorbed the Spirit Root, a sky-piercing roar erupted from the ancient mountain where lightning clashed with thunder, sending shivers down Zhu Minglang’s spine!

Zhu Minglang looked towards the mountain and saw a mythical beast with vermilion-gold divine wings on its back amidst the terrifying lightning. The beast had the head of a dragon and the body of a tiger, with scales that shimmered with both lightning and flame. It was majestic, like a king of ten thousand demons that made its lair there!!

“It’s a Kirin Beast God, most likely its daddy. What’s the hold up, let’s get out of here!!” Mr. Jinli said.

Zhu Minglang certainly felt the power and terror of the mythical creature and without a second thought, he stepped onto his Flying Sword and fled into a vast, primordial forest.

The Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden was no fool either; knowing her Cultivation Base was suppressed and no match for such a divine-level mythical creature, she too leaped onto her Flying Sword. The swords arranged densely like a carpet, faster than standing on a single Flying Sword, and soon she caught up with Zhu Minglang, who didn’t look back once.

...

“I know of a place where we can cleanse the Murderous Resentment Qi that has clung to us just now,” the Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden said.

“Lead the way, Fairy!”

Zhu Minglang followed her to make their escape, while the continuous mountains behind them seemed to collapse, transforming into a rolling mountain roar. The sky and the earth were shrouded in a terrifying purple-red hue, with lightning and flames tumbling about. Even those mythical beasts and demon emperors not yet at divine level were frightened into fleeing everywhere!

…

Fortunately, both of them were fast. Although they had put a considerable distance between themselves and the Kirin Beast God, they could still feel its towering rage, devouring the areas they had just passed through like a frenzy.

It pursued them relentlessly, determined not to give up until they were dead.

“Come this way, behind the Waterfall Curtain Cave!” The Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden flew towards a waterfall and dove behind the curtain of water.

Zhu Minglang followed her into the curtain and, sure enough, it concealed a very secretive cave…

“Place your sword in the waterfall to wash off the Murderous Resentment Qi, quick!” Yu Shanhan said.

As she spoke, she also activated her Green Flying Swords, hanging all of them in the falling stream of the waterfall.

The Flying Swords were struck by the powerful flow of water, but they did not slide down, maintaining an upside-down position.

Zhu Minglang also placed his Sword Spirit Dragon in the waterfall. Suspended there, it was entirely motionless, and the strong flames on the sword’s body were quickly extinguished, while the remaining blood of the mythical beast was rapidly cleansed away.

“This water flow is quite special. Have you been here before, Miss Yu?” Zhu Minglang inquired.

“Mhm, let’s go further inside to take cover. Just let the swords cleanse under the waterfall,” Yu Shanhan said.

Zhu Minglang glanced at the Sword Spirit Dragon, saw that it showed no signs of discomfort, and also walked into the hidden depths of the waterfall cave.

The cave was dry and emitted a faint essence of Spirit Root, meaning that resting here would consume less Spirit Root each day—an indeed excellent place of refuge.

Yu Shanhan walked a few steps ahead of Zhu Minglang.

Strangely enough, even though she was in a Divine Travel Body Shell, Zhu Minglang could still smell a unique fragrance on her, as if a cluster of brilliant summer flowers were placed in front of him. In the dim light, the slender and sensual silhouette of the woman in front of him was particularly enticing.

“Why do you keep looking back? In this situation of a man and a woman alone in a cave, wouldn’t it be wonderful to light a campfire, add some kindling, and have a fitting and tender dual cultivation?” Mr. Jinli whispered in Zhu Minglang’s ear, saying something only an old lecher would say.

Zhu Minglang was really at a loss for words.

How had Mr. Jinli lately become the little demon in his heart, always saying things that could disrupt his daoist heart!

Moreover, how was he managing to speak without being overheard by the Sword Cultivator Celestial Maiden?

“I feel the connection with the Sword Spirit Dragon weakening,” Zhu Minglang said.

“That’s normal, that water is Away Water, meant to block telepathic powers. How else could we escape the Kirin Beast God’s pursuit?” Mr. Jinli explained.

“Away Water?” Zhu Minglang frowned.

He stopped walking and did not continue following Yu Shanhan deeper into the cave.

Yu Shanhan sensed something amiss; she slowly turned around, her beautiful eyes fixing on Zhu Minglang with a puzzled look. “What’s wrong?” she asked.

“It’s nothing, it’s just that if we’re going to rest and recuperate, there’s no need to go this deep. I feel safer being closer to my sword, and for all we know, there could be other strange ferocious beasts lurking in this cave,” Zhu Minglang said.

Yu Shanhan burst into a charming smile, her voice softened: “Mr. Zhu is indeed very cautious. Even those who’ve been through the Dragon Gate several times may not be as careful as Mr. Zhu.”

“Better safe than sorry,” Zhu Minglang stepped back.

“You’re right, Mr. Zhu, there is indeed ‘something else’ in this cave, not a strange ferocious beast, but someone you met not long ago,” Yu Shanhan said, maintaining her smile, but with a hint of strangeness in her eyes as she peered at Zhu Minglang.

As Zhu Minglang retreated into the darkness, he immediately caught sight of a figure.

It blocked his path to the Sword Spirit Dragon and revealed a devious, mocking smile.

“Little Daoist friend, we meet again!” exclaimed the disheveled Loose Immortal Yuan Liang.

Zhu Minglang glanced at Yu Shanhan, then at Loose Immortal Yuan Liang, and immediately felt a wave of nausea.

The feeling was like stepping on dog poop with your left foot and, just as you’re startled and move aside, your right foot lands in cow dung!

“A new Divine Chosen, and we’ve expended so much effort, but in the end, you’re still in the palm of our hands… Immortal Yu Shanhan, did this kid put his hands on you along the way?” Loose Immortal Yuan Liang said.

“Wow, the fairy jumps!” Mr. Jinli shouted in disbelief, his fishy face showing utter shock.

Such a beautiful girl, with an aura of immortality, a sword as her beauty, is actually in cahoots with that Yuan Liang, united in deviousness!

“After all that trouble, your aim was to lure me here?” Zhu Minglang said to Yu Shanhan.

“Deception is an art in war. Naturally, I wouldn’t mind going to some lengths to deal with a new Divine Chosen rich in Spirit Root without using force,” Yu Shanhan’s smile grew even wider.

Her smile seemed overly radiant, and as it slowly faded, the delicate laugh lines didn’t disappear. Yu Shanhan noticed this and gently touched the little wrinkles with her hands, looking very panicked!

“It’s all because of you, wasting so much of my time, I even got wrinkles. I will use your Spirit Root in a moment to restore my eternal youth,” Yu Shanhan said with a tone like coquetry, yet her eyes grew cold.

“Too cunning, utterly despicable!” Mr. Jinli shouted angrily.

“Hehehe, was my pretense of sudden enlightenment convincing??” Yu Shanhan laughed.

Zhu Minglang actually felt something was off.

After all, Mr. Jinli’s reliability was really, really rare, and it seemed far-fetched to accept that a deity had an epiphany after just a few words.

Unreliable, that was the familiar smell of Mr. Jinli…

“Alas, how many men in the world can truly resist the allure of Immortal Yu Shanhan? Even if one begins with vigilance, with just a little trick, in the end, they still fall under the fairy’s skirt!” Loose Immortal Yuan Liang said.

Zhu Minglang had to admit, the pairing of these two was rather impressive.

Yu Shanhan first showed up asking for help, and after his wary disregard, she immediately turned to leave.

But she didn’t go far, and deliberately set up a trap with Yuan Liang ahead.

If he had helped Yu Shanhan, that would mean falling into their trap, and Yuan Liang might even purposely appear, saying those words to make Zhu Minglang completely let down his guard towards Yu Shanhan, while also indirectly revealing her noble status from Yuheng Star Palace.

And if, at the Earth Immortal Ghost, he chose to stand by or even harbored ill intentions, Yuan Liang hiding in the shadows would also come out in time to block Zhu Minglang’s actions.

Their cooperation was incredibly proficient.

Their acting was nothing short of transcendent.

Zhu Minglang felt that if he hadn’t had a wife with heavenly beauty to elevate his taste and a stunningly beautiful aunt with a June-rain temperament constantly tempering his resolve, he would really think he was so impressive that wherever he went, celestial maidens and fairies would inexplicably follow!

Having picked up a fairy-like beauty at the start, Zhu Minglang felt he had already used up all his lifetime’s luck with romance, anything more was somewhat questionable!

“What are you smiling about?” Yu Shanhan noticed Zhu Minglang’s corners of the mouth rising and spoke disdainfully.

Zhu Minglang’s initial coldness had taken Yu Shanhan by surprise.

But in the end, he was just a mortal, easily fooled with a little trick.

“This trick of yours must be foolproof, right?” Zhu Minglang said.

“Leaving aside your sword sealed in the Away Water Waterfall, even if you manage to get the sword, you’re no match for the two of us,” Yu Shanhan said.

As she said this, Yu Shanhan flicked her hand, and dozens of green Flying Swords hidden within the cave appeared around her, their tips pointing at Zhu Minglang.

It turned out she could control one hundred and fifty Flying Swords.

“Away Water can isolate all Divine and Mortal thoughts. Knowing how cautious you are, I wouldn’t have you do as I say if I didn’t leave the Flying Swords outside,” Yu Shanhan continued.

“True, Away Water does isolate Divine and Mortal thoughts, but my sword and I don’t rely on Divine and Mortal thoughts!” Zhu Minglang laughed.

“If not Divine and Mortal thoughts, what is it?” Yu Shanhan frowned and asked coldly.

“Spirit Contract, I regret to inform you, I am a Dragon Shepherd, and my sword is a dragon!” Zhu Minglang’s smile grew more flamboyant as he stretched out his hand. With a thought, he summoned, “Mo Ye!”

At the waterfall, the Sword Spirit Dragon let out a soft cry. It dispersed the special isolating powers of the surrounding Away Water and shot straight toward the cave. As soon as it left the waterfall’s stream, all the vapor evaporated, and the blade immediately turned bright red as if it had just been taken out of the forge!

“Swish!!!!!”

A sword pierced right through the unguarded Loose Immortal Yuan Liang.
