Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 151 - 32: Swords Like Rainbows Over Yunmeng Marsh, Peerless Woman Slays the Flood Dragon!
Divine techniques are vast, divine power is boundless.
"Roar!"
A deafening dragon roar pierced through gold and stone, echoing across the sky, dizzying, and painfully vibrating the eardrums, causing some Divine Power Realm martial artists flying in the air to plunge into the water like dumplings.
These Divine Power Realm martial artists were quite ordinary, having broken through with merely one or two martial skills, situated at the bottom tier of the Divine Power Realm.
"So strong!"
Fire Demon’s pupils constricted; after being enthroned by Zhou Chen, she reached Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, and as a genuine Divine Cultivator, she didn’t fear the roar of this flood dragon, infused with dragon might.
Yet she clearly felt the terror of this flood dragon.
Zhou Chen’s aura emanated, shielding Leng Yue Meteor, his gaze solemnly fixed on the colossal being in the lake ahead, giving Fire Demon a soft tap on her supple, plump buttocks.
Fire Demon sensed a big battle might be looming, and promptly dismounted from Zhou Chen’s lap.
Her legs, however, went limp, as if all her strength was drained from her body, causing her to stagger and fall into Zhou Chen’s embrace.
Zhou Chen held Fire Demon, raising an eyebrow, a hint of a peculiar look flashing in his eyes.
"So powerful!"
"I didn’t even notice!"
Unbeknownst, above the turbulent waters of Yunmeng Marsh, stood a white-clad woman.
The woman held a sword in one hand, the other hand behind her back, her figure tall and graceful, hovering aloft, wearing a man’s iron mask over her face.
But Zhou Chen could instantly tell she was a woman.
Although her appearance was hidden, the poise and air she exuded from simply standing there were unmatched.
She seemed akin to an insurmountable Sword Mountain, her presence majestic and her intent formidable, piercing the clouds, unattainable.
"This woman is so strong..."
Zhou Chen was secretly startled; although she hadn’t struck yet, Zhou Chen already sensed the terror she represented, undeniably the strongest existence he’d ever encountered.
Even his master Li Changfeng, Sect Leader Qing Yuyao, and Lie Huo from Flame Dragon Valley along with those ancient figures, were far from comparable.
"Roar!"
The dragon roar reverberated, waves surged to the sky, as a colossal figure emerged from the water, stretching a hundred feet long, double-horned with dragon claws on its abdomen, a Black Flood Dragon it was.
Its scales were black as ink, gleaming with a metallic sheen like black jade, the scales fine and dense, its elongated body exuding an immense force.
The wind started!
Zhou Chen sensed the world shifted abruptly, fierce winds arose, torrential rains poured down.
The rain intensified, its pace quickening, akin to arrows with terrifying penetrating force, causing his flying ship to wobble.
Zhou Chen had to activate the flying ship’s defense, forming a shield, yet the shield faltered in the storm, on the verge of shattering!
"Could this be the flood dragon’s innate divine technique to summon wind and rain?"
Zhou Chen furrowed his brows, piloted the flying ship backward, leaving the battlefield to the masked woman and the flood dragon.
Would he go against the flood dragon?
This flood dragon was so strong, its hide and flesh tough, much more terrifying than those old figures from Flame Dragon Valley; even if Zhou Chen wielded a divine weapon, he might only break even, possibly not even able to defeat it.
However, the flood dragon wouldn’t be able to kill him either.
This was the foundation of Zhou Chen’s calm confidence. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"Thunder come!"
At that moment, the iron-masked woman suddenly raised her longsword, pointing diagonally forward, Zhou Chen immediately sensed a particular transformation occurring in the world’s aura.
Boom—
A thunderclap rang from the sky, a lightning column as thick as a bowl descended instantly, striking the flood dragon with a speed that left one no time to respond.
"This seems to be a spell and divine technique, this woman is also a cultivator dual-trained in martial and immortal arts, with her Immortal Dao cultivation at least at the Golden Core Realm..."
Zhou Chen squinted, observing the woman and the flood dragon.
The flood dragon, struck by a lightning bolt, trembled, fell into the lake, stirring waves tens of meters high.
Yet this bolt of lightning didn’t kill it.
The flood dragon, enraged, raised the water’s surface, ascended again, spitting out a water column.
The water column descended like a waterfall from the sky, cascading thousands of feet downwards, sweeping towards the masked woman.
Clang!
The crisp sound of sword hums filled the air, and the water column divided into two segments, falling into the lake, stirring endless waves.
The flood dragon dove down and engaged in battle with the masked woman.
Sword Qi intertwined, colossal waves surged.
The flood dragon shrieked, blood spattering the heavens.
"So formidable, the flood dragon is being pressed down, utterly unable to counterattack; at this rate, the flood dragon will certainly perish, but the flood dragon isn’t foolish, surely it will flee..."
Zhou Chen was highly anticipating whether the masked woman could slay this flood dragon.
In the eight hundred miles of Yunmeng Marsh, it’s easy to defeat a water beast, but slaying it is difficult, especially for creatures like the flood dragon that can control water naturally.
Once this flood dragon dives into the waters, even if the iron-faced woman is stronger, she might not be able to handle the flood dragon.
As expected.
The flood dragon, seeing it couldn’t beat the woman, turned around and dove towards the lake.
"Icebound Ten Thousand Miles!"
The iron-faced woman swung her sword, icy sword Qi sweeping in all directions, transforming everything it passed into ice. Even though it was a bright July, here it was bone-chilling cold.
The surrounding ten miles were all icebound, turning into a world of ice and snow.
The hundred-zhang flood dragon was frozen like amber.
Crack, crack, crack!
The flood dragon struggled fiercely, shattering countless ice blocks, unable to be completely frozen.
But sealing it for a moment was enough.
"Infinite Sword!"
A sword light indescribable in any language flashed in Zhou Chen’s eyes, the flood dragon struggling within the ice split in two, its head neatly severed, its blood frozen.
The flood dragon perished!
The iron-faced woman waved her hand, the flood dragon’s corpse was collected, transforming into a sword light and disappearing.
"Sword like a rainbow over Yunmeng Marsh, unmatched heroine slays the flood dragon!"
"So dashing!"
Zhou Chen praised, feeling somewhat excited.
"With the master’s talent, it won’t be long before you can also slay a flood dragon with one sword, leading an era with style!"
The soft body of the Fire Demon pressed up against Zhou Chen, her voice softly seductive, grasping Zhou Chen’s hand, gently placing it somewhere.
"Haha, leading an era with style is nothing compared to your sauciness!"
Zhou Chen brushed the tip of the Fire Demon’s nose playfully; this woman is truly insatiable, but...
He liked it.
After all, what man could resist such a Tide Demoness?
"Shameless!"
Leng Yue secretly cursed, yet also came close, not willing to be outdone.
Zhou Chen felt the varied charms of three women, Wind and Moon Points soaring high, the Flying Ship swayed and sped forward.
A day later.
Zhou Chen arrived at Yunmeng City, put away the Flying Ship, and the three women of the Fire Demon returned to the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror.
"I’ve heard the seafood at Yunmeng Tower is exceptional; just in time to give it a try!"
Zhou Chen stepped into Yunmeng City.
As a Prefecture City, Yunmeng City is similar in scale and bustling activity to Cyan Cloud City, perhaps even more so.
Cyan Cloud City is overshadowed by the Cyan Cloud Sect, which dominates and suppresses the development space of other powers.
Yet Yunmeng City, sitting right beside Yunmeng Marsh, boasts a better location, serving as a transportation hub with a thriving water industry and innumerable forces large and small.
The Fishermen Gang and Salt Gang Headquarters are located here.
Yet Zhou Chen wasn’t concerned; the Fishermen Gang had no dealings with him, and those of the Salt Gang who had grudges were dead, with Gang Leader Qiao Beiming being very sensible.
Zhou Chen didn’t bother with them.
Even though he wasn’t bothered by them, they sought him out.
Zhou Chen hadn’t yet reached Yunmeng Tower when Salt Gang’s Gang Leader Qiao Beiming hurriedly arrived with Elder and Tributor, along with other high-ranking members.
"We didn’t expect Zhou Zhenchuan’s esteemed arrival; apologies for not welcoming you sooner. Please forgive us!"
Qiao Beiming greeted with a big smile.
A hand doesn’t strike a smiling face, Zhou Chen nodded faintly:
"Gang Leader Qiao is indeed well-informed, knowing as soon as I entered the city!"
"Qiao Mou was fortunate enough to witness Zhou Zhenchuan’s divine prowess at the True Inheritor Ceremony and Challenge; born admiration, reverence flows like the river, endless and continuous, hoping for a chance to fulfill the hospitality duties one day."
Fearing Zhou Chen’s misunderstanding, Qiao Beiming quickly explained:
"Therefore, Qiao Mou instructed his men to report immediately upon Zhou Zhenchuan’s arrival, and if offense was caused, please forgive, as Qiao Mou will self-punish three cups later!"
"Qiao Mou has prepared a banquet at Yunmeng Tower to welcome Zhou Zhenchuan, hoping you would grace us with your presence?"
"Then thank you, Gang Leader Qiao!"
Zhou Chen did not refuse; he knew Qiao Beiming was surely afraid of his retaliation, thus instructed his men to report as soon as they saw him.
By accepting Qiao Beiming’s invitation now, it would assure Qiao Beiming completely and bring the matter of Bai Guinong to an end.
