Chapter 98: Interlocking

"Evil creature, come out yet! Return my brother's life!"

Zhang Shaokang shouted sternly again and again.

His voice exploded on the lake surface like thunder.

The wild beasts drinking water and birds flying around were all startled and hurriedly fled into the mountains.

Yin Qi and his group's plan went very smoothly; just after Zhang Shaokang shouted five times, the center of the lake suddenly exploded, and a flood dragon nearly a hundred meters long soared into the sky, bringing up countless water splashes.

Ao!

The flood dragon roared toward the sky, its voice shaking in all directions, and there was even a hint of dragon might.

The flood dragon was pitch black all over, its scales filled with a cold metallic luster, looking like it was cast from black iron under the sunlight.

It twisted its body in mid-air, flew to the sky in front of Zhang Shaokang, and its voice was like thunder, filled with anger: "Damn human race, are you finished? First that Daoist, and now you."

Zhang Shaokang's pupils condensed, he held his long spear and pointed directly at the flood dragon, shouting sternly: "Evil beast. If it weren't for you stirring up trouble, causing the commoners on both sides of the Hong River to suffer, why would we come to find trouble with you. Now, I don't know how many people have died because of you; if we don't kill you, how can those who died unjustly close their eyes?"

"Mere mortals, ant-like things, if they die, they die!"

"As for that brother of yours, I have to say, the taste was truly delicious. I usually don't go out to hunt your human race, but since you delivered yourself to my mouth, I won't be polite."

The flood dragon sneered and dived down, pouncing toward Zhang Shaokang.

Boom!

Under the rapid dive, the surrounding air was exploding.

Zhang Shaokang did not show weakness, trying his best to release the aura of the 'peak Earth Realm', his blood Qi surged, and the acupoints all over his body were like suns, blooming with terrifying heat.

"I'm not afraid of you, kill!"

His long spear was covered with thick blood Gang, and he thrust straight toward the black flood dragon diving down.

The flood dragon waved its claws and also slapped onto the blood-colored spear Gang.

Rumble!

The blood-colored spear Gang shattered, and it felt like an eighteenth-level gale had blown up around them.

Zhang Shaokang let out a miserable cry, blood sprayed from his mouth, and he flew backward for more than a hundred meters, not knowing how many trees he had broken.

He looked incredulous and roared: "How is it possible, how can you be so strong!"

The flood dragon soared into the sky again, seemingly very satisfied with Zhang Shaokang's appearance, and sneered triumphantly: "You are only at the peak of the Earth Realm, which is equivalent to the peak of the Golden Core, but I am at the peak of the Demon Immortal Realm, about to transform into a dragon. If I weren't preparing to transform into a dragon, why do you think I would stir up trouble?"

"What, you are preparing to walk the flood dragon?"

Zhang Shaokang's face changed suddenly, and a sharp killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Walking the flood dragon, one of the dragon transformation techniques.

In the Honghuang Continent, anyone who possesses dragon blood can transform into a dragon step by step through cultivation.

Generally speaking, there are roughly three paths to dragon transformation.

One is leaping the dragon gate;

Two is bitter cultivation to overcome the heavenly tribulation;

Three is walking the flood dragon.

When walking the flood dragon, the flood dragon will go down along large rivers and rivers, heading straight for the sea.

During this period, it will be accompanied by strong thunderstorm weather, and everywhere it passes will turn into a vast marshland, with countless living beings dying miserably.

In essence, walking the flood dragon is the flood dragon using barbaric means to plunder the fortune of other living beings and gather it upon itself to achieve the purpose of dragon transformation, which belongs to the side door.

"Walking the flood dragon!"

On the hill more than ten miles away, Yin Qi's killing intent was sharp.

If his cultivation were not enough, he would really want to go and slay this evil flood dragon himself.

No wonder Hongzhou has been flooding for no reason every month recently; this is a precursor to the flood dragon about to walk the flood dragon.

Once the flood dragon walks the flood dragon, not only Hongzhou, but all the Hong River sections below Qingyun Mountain, as well as the lower reaches of the Yangtze River where the Hong River flows, will have countless commoners suffering on both sides.

Everywhere it passes, it will be a vast marshland.

……

In the sky, the flood dragon said excitedly: "Not bad. I have practiced in the mountains for five hundred years, and finally, the time has come to transform into a dragon. Little martial artist, you will become the snack before the dragon transformation. Ao!"

Before the words fell, the flood dragon pounced again.

"Evil beast, I will report this matter to the Imperial Court, you are dead!"

Zhang Shaokang shouted sternly and turned to escape.

According to the plan, luring the flood dragon away from the lake required him to act according to circumstances.

Now this reason is just right.

"You are looking for death!"

The flood dragon heard this and became anxious immediately.

The reason he dared to choose to walk the flood dragon was that once he entered the sea as a dragon, even if he brought great harm to the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, as long as he dived into the East Sea, the Great Shang would have no way to deal with him.

But once it was reported and known by the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, he would surely die, and even the possibility of escaping would not be great.

The flood dragon cursed inwardly; this person had previously appeared to be a naive youth, yet now he turned and fled, even preparing to report to the imperial court—this was simply disregarding the code of martial conduct.

Zhang Shaokang's speed was extremely fast, and he soon escaped dozens of miles away from the lake.

He suddenly turned his horse and thrust his spear, and a terrifying aura erupted completely from his body, the spear shadow soared into the sky, dozens of meters long, emitting brilliant golden light, even overshadowing the sunlight in the sky.

"What!"

The sudden change shocked the flood dragon.

He never expected that this human martial artist had actually hidden his cultivation.

It was not the peak of the Earth Realm, but the Heaven Realm.

The Heaven Realm and the Earth Realm are completely different concepts.

Because of underestimating the enemy, he couldn't dodge in time and was deeply pierced into his abdomen by the golden long spear, causing him to roar toward the sky in pain, with countless golden blood spilling down.

"Ao! Damn human race, I will eat you and pull out your divine soul to light a sky lantern!"

The flood dragon howled in pain and dived down again.

At the same time, he opened his mouth and sprayed, actually spraying out a thunder light.

Zhang Shaokang tensed his whole body and, at the critical moment, barely dodged the thunder light.

Boom!

The thunder light fell, and large areas of trees turned into charcoal.

Just at this moment, a bowstring exploded like a clap of thunder on a sunny day.

Ding Ce made his move!

He held a silver longbow, on which were carved densely packed mysterious runes.

As he activated it with his Qi and blood, these runes actually emerged, quickly turning into a silver long arrow, which just happened to be placed on the bowstring, turning into a silver stream of light.

The silver stream of light cut through the void and shot into the flood dragon's neck in the blink of an eye.

It was also because the flood dragon was angered by Zhang Shaokang's sneak attack, and had only Zhang Shaokang in his eyes, so his vigilance dropped greatly.

Ao!

The flood dragon screamed, his body drew a parabola, and he smashed to the ground.

"Evil beast, die!"

Zhang Shaokang shouted and attacked the flood dragon with his spear.

A hideous blood hole appeared on the flood dragon's neck, dripping with blood.

He barely waved his claws to resist, but was shattered by Zhang Shaokang's spear, the scales on his claws shattered, revealing crimson flesh again.

At the same time, Ding Ce jumped up and shot an arrow in mid-air.

The flood dragon was horrified and hurriedly smashed the ground with his tail, and his body also soared into the sky with the force, but he still didn't dodge this arrow, and a long wound was left on his cheek by the silver arrow.

The flood dragon was terrified.

He was shocked and angry, but he was not blinded by hatred.

If he were in his prime state, he would naturally not fear these two people.

But he was now seriously injured, and he was not fighting in the water, so if he continued to fight, he would surely die, so he flew toward the lake without looking back, escaping was paramount.

Ding Ce and Zhang Shaokang pretended to be chasing in a hurry and were crazily releasing big moves.

The flood dragon looked back from time to time to avoid the attacks.

Just as he was about to get close to the lake, Guo Chen and Dong Zhong, who had been hiding for a long time, finally made their move.
