Chapter 439: Kill the Dragon and Kill the Heart
Author: Things in the world are like tides and people are like water
"Jiujiang County's management of outsiders is not too harsh. As long as you don't have a normal road guide, you can make a living fishing there, and the taxes collected should be no different from others..."
Zhang Mingtu didn't know much about the detailed rules of this part, but after hearing this, the tall and thin fisherman was already very excited.
The short and stocky man didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder.
Zhang Mingtu had no way to say more in this regard, and for a moment the entire fishing boat became quiet.
Apart from the patter of rain, the only sound left was the constant beeping of the small red clay stove on the stove.
The whole world was quiet and harmonious. On the river, no large ships were passing through at this time. There were occasionally one or two small ships, but they were all approaching the shore. For a moment, everything was silent.
Occasionally, one or two lively fish jumped out of the water, and then plopped into the river, splashing round after round of water.
On Zhang Mingtu's shoulders, Xiaoqing climbed up again without knowing when.
Compared with before, his scales were brighter and shiny, and his eyes were obviously shining, with rounds of golden luster.
The entire dragon is completely different from before, and one can tell how special it is at a glance.
But inside the fishing boat, the other two characters seemed completely unaware.
Invisible ripples covered the area, making the two people unable to notice anything strange.
"I really don't understand what's the point of talking nonsense with these people, and it's not easy to take action."
Xiaoqing's words were impatient and slightly anxious, but at the same time, she was slightly excited.
This is a further improvement of its blood and qi, which makes it a little excited and unable to control its power.
Its previous power has expanded to its peak, reaching the pinnacle under the Martial Saint.
But reaching that point does not mean that there is no way to improve. There is another way. The existence of the Grand Master level, whether it is a human or a demon, can have a unique field.
The area covered by the field is not static. As long as you are willing to stay in an area long enough, you can infect a large area of the world with your breath, and then master the aura and essence of this world.
In words that Zhang Mingtu can understand, it is like directly owning a spring with endless magic power.
After so many years of accumulation and preparation, it will be possible to carry hundreds of millions of hectares of water power directly into the ocean and undergo ultimate transformation in the ocean.
Of course, there will also be devastating impacts along the way, and basically all the buildings and people along the way will be swept away.
As for whether you can survive, that depends on fate.
"Maybe many people think it's meaningless, but they think it's meaningful, and I think it's meaningful, and that's enough."
Xiao Qing was speechless, and he casually pulled his paw in front of him, and he pushed the three corpses floating down from the upper reaches to the depths of the river. Among them was the Tiger Master.
It was not seen that it made much movement. A cloud of water mist exploded slightly in the water. In an instant, three clouds of blood surged at the bottom of the river, causing a bunch of fish and shrimps to fight for it.
"You're talking about meaning here, but you're killing people with your backhand. I really don't understand your human mind. It's too complicated."
"If you understand it, you will be an adult."
Zhang Mingtu didn't talk much about this topic. He smiled and asked Xiaoqing next to him: "How is your recovery?"
When this was mentioned, Xiaoqing became slightly excited.
"The blood essence and blood that were lost before have been completely restored, and the improvement of the skills has been on the right track. However, 20% of the water source power has been consumed, and there is no way to control more. After all, the time and place are not perfect.
"This is not the flood season when the water source power is restless. There is no way to mobilize such a powerful force, and there is no way to make them surge up and rush into the ocean together.
"Most of the power was consumed in the process of adjusting my skills and bloodline. Alas, what a pity."
Xiaoqing said, her golden eyes couldn't help but look towards the calm river surface.
As if following its mood, the rain in the sky became heavier and heavier, making the awning boat crackle.
Zhang Mingtu nodded slightly.
In this area, Xiao Qing's power has been greatly enhanced, and even some martial saint-level powers can easily change the celestial phenomena, allowing the water power in this area to be controlled by it, turning clouds and rains is a trivial matter.
The only small problem is that its power is powerful, but it is not expanded enough to be used directly against the Tribulation Thunder.
Only by complying with the riot of infinite water power in the sky, mixing its power with the newly added power, becoming active, rushing into the ocean together, combining the endless power, and coordinating its domain, can one have almost unlimited power in the thunder.
The source of the power of destruction.
"Then give me whatever is extra!"
Zhang Mingtu smiled, Xiaoqing's eyes narrowed into a straight line, and the two claws continued to engage, and then released the air, making a creaking sound like steel.
But after a while, Xiaoqing still let out a long breath.
There were not too many movements, but a wisp of extremely pure essence naturally poured into the awning boat under the water, turned into a pillar of spiritual energy visible to the naked eye, and sank into Zhang Mingtu's body.
Xiao Qing spent tens of hundreds of years under the river, refining the spiritual veins here little by little over a long period of time, and became the faint master of the Yangtze River.
If it can prevent success in the future, it can even spread this field all the way up and truly become the Dragon King at the bottom of the river.
But now everything is empty.
Now that he has become Zhang Mingtu's spiritual pet, there is no way to struggle.
It's just that the aura is stronger and stronger than before, and ordinary masters can be strangled to death, but Zhang Mingtu swallowed it lightly, and his whole body did not show any waves.
Seeing this, Xiaoqing lowered his head dejectedly, losing the excitement before.
Zhang Mingtu kept moving, and in the raindrops, he seemed to turn into a black hole, swallowing all the almost endless energy into his body.
Such a powerful essence cannot be swallowed by even Xiao Qing, who is already at the peak of martial arts. He can only consume 10 to 20% of it at most.
But for Zhang Mingtu, he still felt it was not enough.
After the revision, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Skill is overbearing and powerful, swallowing up the essence of heaven and earth far more than anyone of his generation. In addition, he has accumulated the bloodline from practicing the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake, which is enough in many cases. The only thing missing is the essence of heaven and earth.
, I use the elixirs and elixirs presented by the eldest prince, the third prince, and others on a daily basis, and I basically never stop taking them.
Even so, he still felt it was not enough.
It's rare to find a dragon today. The decades of preparation for transforming into a dragon have now become the treasure in his belly.
Under the gaze of Xiao Qing's golden pupils, blood flowed in Zhang Mingtu's body, like lead or mercury. The heavy blood and the sound of the flow were like the roar of a river.
It seems to have some connection with the surging tide of the entire Yangtze River, as if a Yangtze River is flowing into the awning boat.
Xiao Qing looked at it with an incomprehensible expression.
He watched helplessly as Zhang Mingtu's aura became stronger and stronger, and the energy and blood in Zhang Mingtu's body had a different flavor.
It was a dragon energy that was very similar to it, even purer than its dragon energy.
"this……"
Xiaoqing pointed at Zhang Mingtu with his paws extended. It was clearly a small four-cornered snake, but its entire head showed a look of astonishment.
Especially the pair of eyes that took up most of the face, vividly showing the look of astonishment.
"how?"
Zhang Mingtu was teasing Xiao Qing while refining the huge amount of essence and feeling the moans of the cells in his body.
The vigorous and majestic energy was not only refined by him, but also a large part was stored by him. The Dragon and Tiger Waidan and his body seemed to be transformed into a bottomless pit.
All the 480 million pores in the body are moaning and sighing.
Then, without any sound, he went from the seventh level of marrow cleansing and blood exchange to the eighth level, without much disturbance overall.
Even during this process, the blood in his body naturally adjusted, moving closer to the body of a true dragon. In other words, it seemed that a map had been sketched out in his body before, and now he was just coloring the map.
Xiao Qing looked at him as if he were looking at a demon.
Zhang Mingtu just said calmly: "Don't worry, don't be afraid. Soon you will be a Martial Saint. If you are not invincible in the world, who can stop you?"
"Am I the one who should be worried and scared? After all, you are so strong, and I am still your master. I shouldn't be worried anytime and anywhere?"
Xiaoqing nodded in approval, then raised her chest and raised her head, feeling proud.
But Zhang Mingtu was not impatient. When night fell, the rain had stopped silently.
After Zhang Mingtu said hello to the two cousins, he walked back to his small boat.
He disappeared in front of them in just a moment.
However, Zhang Mingtu did not go far away. He even let go of the boat that night, allowing the boat to float naturally.
He walked freely on the river, even though he didn't have any vehicle, he could walk calmly on the water without making any waves.
One after another, pure spiritual energy turned into beams of light and submerged into his body, making Xiao Qing open his mouth in shock.
Zhang Mingtu did not stop his movements, and reached out to pat Xiao Qing on the shoulder. Xiao Qing stared at his watery golden eyes and rolled his eyes.
But he didn't disobey Zhang Mingtu. A drop of red blood flowed out with just a swipe of his fingertip.
Zhang Mingtu moved his hands and feet together, and took out the ancient sword named Chixiao from his spine. He quickly sketched it above, and soon drew a simple spirit gathering array and spirit sealing array.
The surrounding spiritual energy became more and more intense, and it continued to penetrate into Zhang Mingtu's body, and then there was no longer the ancient sword in his hand and the Dragon-Tiger Waidan in his arms.
"Can't you leave some for me? Do you really want to squeeze everything out of here?"
Xiao Qing was a little aggrieved. Zhang Mingtu not only used his body to swallow the local essence crazily, but also injected the essence he had accumulated over the years into the ancient sword to seal and preserve it. What was even more outrageous was that there was no material to depict the formation.
The law still uses its blood.
It is simply killing the dragon and killing the heart!
These were all things he had accumulated over the years, but in the end he didn't use them and Zhang Mingtu used them all.
"Anyway, I won't be able to use it in the future. Now I don't have to completely waste my body. It has been refined to the limit for the time being. I can refine it with more essence. But if the body continues to strengthen, there will be certain hidden dangers and excessive growth.
Faster and less stable.
"But the energy accumulated over the past decades cannot be wasted like this. I will extract it into the ancient sword and the dragon and tiger outer elixir and save it for you."
"Should you save it for me, or should you let me use it?"
Xiaoqing was speechless.
There was not much fluctuation in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night the fluctuations of spiritual energy became more and more intense, and the dragon energy hidden in the Yangtze River Basin was not covered up and overflowed.
I don’t know how many fish, shrimps, fish and turtles that live in the Yangtze River are running around in this area. From time to time, there are swarms of absolute mullet scurrying on the water surface, and old turtles are sliding crazily.
Some fishermen discovered such a movement in the middle of the night, and quickly called people frantically to capture the large boats one after another and lit torches. The more arrogant ones even used lighting stones to light up the area.
Big nets were thrown into the river one after another to catch all the big fish that were scurrying around.
But there were also some elderly and knowledgeable fishermen who were frightened and exclaimed.
"The Dragon King has turned over, the Dragon King has turned over!"
"This is the Dragon King in the river. I'm afraid something big will happen!"
Someone who was smarter quietly reported the situation to Liumen and Jinyiwei. In the middle of the night, Jinyiwei and people from Liumen even blocked the area.
There are streams of light passing through the sky from time to time, and some people use talismans to quickly feel the area.
Zhang Mingtu didn't care.
In the second half of the night, the ancient sword in his hand was glowing all over, and it could be seen with the naked eye that it had condensed into a substantial essence, swimming among the patterns of mountains, rivers and lakes on the sword, and even turning into spiritual raindrops and falling down.
However, the Dragon and Tiger Waist Pill he had during his lifetime could not maintain its changed appearance. It turned into a pill again, but it was as big as a fist, and it shrank and expanded from time to time, as if it would explode at any time.
Xiao Qing, on the other hand, looked at the area where the spiritual energy had been basically drained by him, and wanted to cry without tears.
Not far away, there were already knowledgeable figures from the Six Gates and Jin Yiwei communicating in low voices.
"It is truly pure dragon energy. The evil energy has been completely refined. It is only one step away from transforming into a dragon."
"We can't handle this matter. We must report it to the higher authorities. This is a big deal."
"This is obviously the lair of a dragon king. It's only one step away from transforming into a dragon. But for some reason, the relative in the lair didn't hide it and was refined at this time. Could it be that he is going to survive the demonic tribulation?"
"It's hard to understand. According to the records in the classics, shouldn't the tribulation be chosen during the rainy season and the flood season, and carry the river into the sea when the flood surges?"
