Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 943 - 494: Anything That Whimpers Must Be an Evil Thing—Exterminate the Whole Family! (Part 2)
The voices of these people, at first listen, seem distant, like valley echoes created by someone speaking loudly from afar. But when you listen closely, they don't seem so far away, almost like whispers nearby.
For a moment, because of these voices, the place doesn't gain any liveliness; instead, it instills a sense of horror.
Ziyu even has this illusion, that perhaps this paper sedan chair has taken them to the Netherworld Hell.
As the voices increased, the speed of the sedan chair slowed down, giving the sense that the train was about to arrive at the station.
At this moment, Duan Yun and Ziyu see some figures.
This must be a valley, as the figures are on both sides.
They can't see clearly, but it feels like these people are watching them. Some are waving, as if seeing them off into eternity.
Honestly, the atmosphere is truly eerie; even Duan Yun instinctively feels a chill down his spine.
He couldn't help but examine his arms, thinking if he might have unconsciously turned into a corpse.
As of now, there's no evident change.
At this point, the paper sedan finally came to a stop.
Duan Yun and Ziyu exchange glances and stepped out of the sedan.
Duan Yun tapped his foot on the ground, confirming it was still the same earth.
But why would the ground move on its own?
He swept his fingertips, Sword Qi ripping through the soil, trying to uncover what lies beneath, when suddenly, Ziyu pulled him aside, looking to the right.
There, stood a person.
Most of this person's body is lost in the thick mist, only his head visible outside.
He looks familiar, with his mouth constantly moving, speaking.
Duan Yun and Ziyu, both sharp-eyed, quickly discern what he's saying.
He's saying "Be careful," warning them of the danger here.
Just as Duan Yun and Ziyu noticed his well-intentioned warning, his expression suddenly changed from gentle kindness to malicious slyness.
Duan Yun could swear, Yun Yu could change expressions just as fast.
In an instant, a foul wind blows.
Duan Yun and Ziyu instinctively look around, just as a pitch-black shadow looms over them.
Below, a giant serpent's head suddenly emerges.
Or perhaps, a dragon's head?
This head seems to between a dragon and snake, possessing dragon horns yet retaining serpent features, the face somewhat human, thin and withered.
The dragon-snake's head is like a large truck, its massive mouth snaps fiercely, aiming to swallow Duan Yun and Ziyu whole.
Duan Yun and Ziyu react swiftly, clutching each other's hands, transforming into a whirlwind, spiraling upwards.
The dragon-snake's bloodthirsty maw barely misses them as Duan Yun and Ziyu fall downward, ready to counterattack, but suddenly everything turns black.
Because at the moment they landed, the ground opened a massive mouth, engulfing them.
Another big mouth?
How to guard against this?
It was another gigantic, bizarre serpent's head, as the earth supporting the sedan earlier begins twisting and writhing.
Among the rolling clouds, the valley itself seems to squirm.
Or perhaps, the entire valley is composed of this dragon-like, snake-like creature.
Such a colossal being actually exists, surely Bai Suzhen of legend isn't this enormous.
As Duan Yun and Ziyu are swallowed, the whole valley once again falls silent, and those figures standing earlier reveal sinister smiles.
Just then, the slope suddenly trembles; the dragon-snake head once buried in the soil resurfaces, its eyes wide.
No, not just wide open; they're bulging!
Electric Poison Dragon Drill!
With crackling sound, an eruption of firelight with electric sparks, Duan Yun clamps Ziyu against his shoulder, his Double Masters of Sword and Saber drilling fiercely, like a Poison Dragon drilling out.
With a loud burst, the dragon-snake's eyes explode, allowing Duan Yun and Ziyu to drill out!
Darn it, even Young Hero needs to ambush, execute their whole family!
Duan Yun clamps Ziyu spinning again, Sword Light flashing as one sword strikes the dragon-snake head, another infused with electricity cleaves the figure from before.
And Ziyu feels herself spinning madly under Duan Yun's grip, momentarily losing direction.
The dragon-snake head is swiftly cut, opening a gash, while the head emits "ying ying ying" cries.
On the other side, the Sword Qi, actually the "Endless Electric Sword," after striking the "good person," begins bouncing among the other figures.
Why Sword Qi is an Electric Sword, naturally fits Young Hero's Dual Masters status, where sword and saber are one family, completely logical, right?
The serpent head struck, while "ying ying ying ying" cries continued, another shadow streaks like lightning.
Turns out, there's never been merely one serpent head.
Duan Yun swings with Ziyu, dodging this dragon-snake head while the knife's edge scrapes along the serpent's surface.
Whether it's Demon Blade Gentle or famous blade, compared to this behemoth, they both seem too small, akin to stirring a large jar with a toothpick.
But unfortunately, Young Hero's "toothpick" is never just a toothpick; it can expand!
Vast Sword Qi bursts from the blade, piercing deep into the serpent's wound, scraping further, encased in painful red line Sword Qi.
Suddenly, the constant "ying ying ying" chorus rings loudly, shaking one's eardrums painfully.
Out of nowhere, the mountains tremble, and a massive black and white body shoots out, slams into Duan Yun and Ziyu.
Duan Yun and Ziyu, mid-air, are unbalanced, thus thrown into the air.
The clouds burst open a hole, trailing gray-white torrents.
Duan Yun and Ziyu, akin to fighter jets, darting.
With a swish, Duan Yun suddenly opens his thunder wings, stabilizing after fierce spinning, landing firmly.
At this moment, Ziyu finally had a chance to pull her head out from under Duan Yun's legs.
She pats her chest, gasping heavily, then burps, looking satisfied.
Duan Yun glances at her quizzically.
Ziyu snaps, "What are you looking at?! I'm just burping from hunger!"
Actually, Ziyu's condition is largely caused by "motion sickness," since Duan Yun's spinning was too fast and fierce, making her quite uneasy.
After some Breathing Control, Ziyu returns to normal.
Duan Yun looks around, puzzled, "Where did this crash bring us?"
That crash was powerful; had it not been for him using Spring Rain's spinning force to absorb most of it, even with their Protective Body of True Qi, they might've been heavily injured, possibly bleeding with broken skin!
Especially Ziyu, without his help absorbing the force, she might've suffered broken bones.
And since they flew so fast and far, they are unsure of their location.
Ziyu muses at this point, "What was that just now? A dragon or a snake?"
Duan Yun shakes his head, "Looks snake-like, dragon-like, evidently an unscrupulous evil, wait till we return to annihilate its family."
Ziyu frowns, "Was that Sakura Dragon just now?"
"Sakura Dragon?"
"A friend who teaches me Fusang language mentioned, Fusang also has dragons, called Sakura Dragons, and their most distinct feature is the 'ying ying ying' dragon roar."
Indeed, the cries of the dragon-snake head in pain were "ying ying ying."
But they flew so swiftly, rotating through countless loops, retracing the path won't be easy.
At this time, Ziyu points ahead, "Isn't the mist clearing over there?"
Following this direction, they walk forward, finding the mist indeed thinning.
Suddenly, the mist disperses completely at this point, as if a giant curtain is pulled back, making the view clear and open.
It's a stunningly beautiful cherry blossom forest.
Every cherry tree is quite tall; cherry trees typically don't grow into giant trees, yet here each cherry tree is tall and large, like towering giants. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
On the trees, pink cherry blossoms are blooming in full flame.
The combination of pink cherry blossoms on towering tree trunks evokes visions of burly men in pink maid outfits to Duan Yun.
Above these cherry trees stands a palace.
A palace of deep brown below and snow-white above, resembling a snow mountain from afar.
"Source Palace."
Seeing this palace, Duan Yun and Ziyu know it's the Source Palace they're seeking.
