Chapter 22 Ten years of dragon change, Li Kezhou's backhand
After a while.
The man with the green beard left and came back with a sword in his hand, blood dripping from the tip of the sword.
"That bastard actually escaped. He must have obtained a treasure in exchange for the colorful dragon scale iron. In addition, this bastard deceived me into enmity with the Liyue Sword Sect. He really should be torn into pieces!"
The old man's face was full of anger, but while he was chasing and killing the thin-faced man, Li Kezhou had already driven a demon-bred horse and ran thirty miles away...
The old man had nowhere to vent his hatred, and he kept roaring to the sky.
…
Li Kezhou, who returned to Ziji Sword Sect, immediately entered Mushou Mountain.
His purpose was not to see the Cangjiao, but to obtain the soul-reviving pearl that he had refined through seclusion.
And during this period, if he had the Cang Jiao as his guardian, he would naturally be able to concentrate on everything and not be afraid of external interference.
Cangjiao was overjoyed when he heard that Li Kezhou had returned and found the secret treasure that strengthened his soul, because this undoubtedly meant that he had taken another solid step towards "transforming from a dragon into a dragon".
Three days later.
Shepherd Mountain.
In the lair of the Evil-scaled Cangjiao.
A bead the size of a grain of rice, black and glowing, floated three feet between Li Kezhou's eyebrows.
At this time, a black vertical eye seemed to appear between his eyebrows, and the beads turned into wisps of black energy and entered it.
Another hour passed.
The living soul bead, which shrunk to the size of a grain of rice, finally turned into a black light spot. The light spot was like a spark, and then extinguished silently.
Li Kezhou raised his eyebrows and suddenly a black light shone brightly, followed by a somewhat ethereal and strange voice.
The sound was like a door that had been sealed for eternity and was suddenly opened.
Gradually, the vertical eyes between the eyebrows began to disappear.
At this time, something changed at the same time, and a vertical black line appeared above Li Kezhou's head, like a dark sky mark embedded in the air.
Every time the vertical eye between the eyebrows dissipates, the sky mark will open a little more, until the "soul eye" completely disappears, the sky mark will also be completely opened.
It turned out that it was not a sky mark at all, but an eye magnified countless times.
The black line that looked like a gap in the sky before was just a vision after the magic eye was closed.
This weird vertical eye is like a bottomless black hole, deep and mysterious, and seems to contain endless mysteries.
Cang Jiao, a hundred steps away, watched all this quietly. When he saw this "Eye of the Void" fully opened, his expression became shocked for the first time.
"This is……"
The huge body of Cangjiao actually trembled slightly, whether it was because of fear or excitement.
Suddenly! His eyes suddenly changed.
Behind Li Kezhou, in the mysterious vertical eye like a black hole, another identical eye appeared and slowly opened in it.
When his eyes overlapped, Li Kezhou slowly woke up from closing his eyes.
By this time, all the visions had disappeared.
"My spiritual power... seems to have entered an unknown realm."
Li Kezhou was more surprised than surprised.
He closed his eyes while refining the Soul Bead and knew nothing about all the phenomena happening outside. However, after he completed the refining, he felt a strange feeling that he had never experienced before.
He knew that his soul had undergone transformation, and his spiritual power had also increased dramatically.
He used his spiritual power and closed his eyes to sense.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were filled with surprise.
"My spiritual power has increased at least a hundred times. The Ten Thousand Souls Soul Bead is worthy of being called the treasure that strengthens the soul."
After he got over his excitement, he turned to look at the Cang Jiao a hundred steps away.
He saw this Cang Jiao staring at him with a complex look, which showed confusion, shock and astonishment. All the complex emotions in the world seemed to be found in his eyes.
"Senior! Now that my spiritual power has greatly improved, I can try to help you carve bloodline runes."
Li Kezhou has not forgotten his promise.
Moreover, he did not dare to forget that the "blood decline" curse cast by the Cang Jiao on him was always threatening his life. If the agreement between the two of them was reached immediately, he would be able to completely remove this life-seeking talisman.
Hearing this, Cangjiao came out of his thoughts and his eyes showed excitement again.
"Boy, I rarely keep my word once in this life. As long as you help me succeed today, I will remove the curse from your body. You should not die easily. You may have more difficult tasks in your existence."
Li Kezhou was secretly shocked when he heard Cang Jiao's words.
Because from what the other person said, it seemed that he originally planned to get rid of himself after he helped him carve the runes.
He was dubious and took out the carving knife.
Cangjiao maintains his own cultivation and does not worry about the other party being disadvantageous to him.
Li Kezhou's carving knife came to the bulge on Cang Jiao's forehead. This is where the essence and blood of Cang Jiao's body are located, and it is also the first step for the dragon to transform into a dragon: the dragon's horns are born from its head.
If there is no opportunity and just relying on practice, this bulge will never be able to break out into an angle.
Li Kezhou's soul eye entered the second state, his spiritual power increased more than a hundred times, and the evil dragon's bloodline runes were carved as smoothly as his arms and fingers, without any sluggishness.
After a stick of incense.
Once the carvings were completed, the obscure and complex runes turned into a black dragon shadow and disappeared in a flash.
The green dragon roared in a low voice, and its body twisted in pain. Large scales on its body dried up and fell off. Where the bulge on its forehead was, a milky-white sharp horn grew out at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
"Boy! Get out of here quickly. I want to enter a long period of evolution and spread the word. No matter what happens to the Sword Sect within ten years, no one is allowed to disturb me."
"I wish you immediate success, senior!"
Li Kezhou said something and ran out of the cave with flying strides.
Just as he rushed out of the cave, there was a loud bang, the entire nest collapsed, and large swaths of rocks rolled down, instantly sealing the cave.
"Oops! The curse hasn't been lifted yet!"
Li Kezhou's expression changed drastically, but when he spread his hands to look, the black line that had originally broken off his palm had mysteriously disappeared.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "The power of this curse is indeed strange. It seems to be a kind of mental power. It seems that it can be lifted with just a thought of the dragon."
Li Kezhou looked at the messy cave in front of him, with a strange smile on his lips.
He secretly whispered in his heart: "Although you promised to let me live, my life has never been allowed to be controlled by others. Originally, I could transform into a dragon in ten hours at most. I asked you to postpone it for ten years, but the opportunity was given to you after all.
I don’t owe you anything..."
This kind of ability is also a magical function that Li Kezhou naturally understands when his "soul eye" enters the second mysterious realm and his soul is blessed. This is something that the evil-scaled green dragon would never have thought of.
He took one last look at the collapsed nest, picked up the black sword in his hand, and walked slowly down the mountain with his long and narrow figure.
