Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 759 - 9: Yue Nian’s Trial
Chen Jiangyin’s Golden Needle and Sha Yan’s Tattoo Needle, known collectively as the "Continent’s Dual Treasures," his needle technique was indeed profound.
But this time, while needling, he felt something was different.
As a needle pierced into Ni Qianjun’s Bai Hui Acupoint, Chen Jiangyin felt a suction force surging from within Ni Qianjun.
The suction was massive and mighty, almost engulfing Chen Jiangyin entirely.
Not good, something is amiss.
Chen Jiangyin inwardly cursed, trying to pull back the Golden Needle, but no matter how hard he tried, the needle inserted into Ni Qianjun’s acupoint kept sinking deeper and could not be pulled out.
At that moment, a warmth covered his hand, and turning back, he found Yue Jinghua’s eyes, dark as the night sky, close at hand.
"I’ll help you."
Their spiritual powers fused together, quickly entering Ni Qianjun’s Conscious Sea, accompanied by the exhilarating "Breaking Army Song" played by Madam Xieleng.
Madam Xieleng sat within the room, her fingers plucking, stroking, pressing, and pinning the strings, with highs and lows, like the sound of a thousand galloping horses and surging waves, continuously spilling out from beneath her fingertips.
The music lingered around the unconscious Ni Qianjun, the meditative Yue Jinghua, and Chen Jiangyin.
Yue Jinghua and Chen Jiangyin’s Divine Senses entered layer after layer of fog, seeing no end, hearing no sound.
"Is this Brother Qian Jun’s Divine Sense World? How is it so chaotic, with no clear direction, where is he?" Yue Jinghua looked around bewilderedly.
"This is not his Divine Sense World, but rather... it’s hard to encompass in words, I feel something odd here. We can’t recognize directions, but let’s not be too alarmed, listen to the music," Chen Jiangyin, though it was his first time entering a patient’s Divine Sense, remained calmer than Yue Jinghua, as he carefully listened to the "Breaking Army Song" played by Madam Xieleng.
The true purpose of the Breaking Army Song is to discern location by sound.
Both being exceptionally talented, they quickly figured out the function of the "Breaking Army Song".
All around was a haze as if immersed in smog.
With each step they took, the tune of the "Breaking Army Song" changed accordingly.
A sonorous and powerful sound indicated the correct direction of advance; if it turned hoarse and dull, it meant they had taken the wrong path.
Like blind men groping their way, guided by the music, they finally walked out of the haze and entered the core area of this region.
"!" Yue Jinghua didn’t expect to encounter such a scene suddenly within Ni Qianjun’s Divine Sense.
Chen Jiangyin, usually calm, couldn’t help but show a hint of astonishment on his face.
A bronze-colored Dark Beast appeared before them.
Green-faced with fierce fangs, its body as thick as ancient trees, covered with palm-sized scales, each scale forged like molten iron, filled with a fierce and savage beauty.
The beast, nearly a hundred meters long, had its belly covered with scales and chicken claw-like sharp claws, iron scales on its bronze horns, and eyes as large as lanterns.
"An Ancient Bronze Giant Dragon," Chen Jiangyin murmured softly.
Yue Jinghua also recognized this giant dragon, with the same purple lightning and thundering sounds. The scene where this Bronze Giant Dragon appeared was very similar to that of the Silver Giant Dragon Cloud Swamp, except this Bronze Giant Dragon looked even more irritable.
Yue Jinghua’s gaze fixed on the gaping maw of the giant dragon, her pupils suddenly contracting.
Inside the dragon’s mouth, amidst the teeth like stone columns, a person knelt, bloodied and indistinct.
The sharp teeth had already pierced through the person’s spine, repeatedly tearing the dry wound.
The blood had blurred the person’s features, but Yue Jinghua still recognized the newcomer by the fiery red hair.
"Brother Qian Jun!" Yue Jinghua couldn’t help but shout loudly, her yell momentarily stirred a faint reaction from Ni Qianjun, who had long been unconscious and his Divine Sense blurred.
Had he heard wrong? He heard Jinghua’s voice!
Ni Qianjun couldn’t remember how long he had been trapped by that damned Bronze Giant Dragon.
He only knew that one day, during his accidental peek at the Dragon Clan’s Trial Arena, he was injured by a Sect Leader from the Dragon Clan. Fortunately, a man named Yue Nian saved him.
After rescuing him, Yue Nian didn’t take him back to Canglong Continent.
"Kid, you came here to improve your cultivation, right? Every few hundred to a thousand years, some so-called strong individuals from the Human Race come here in pursuit of the Peak, to explore the secrets of the Dragon Clan. I remember a man named Bo Sai did just like you, came to explore the Dragon Clan’s trial grounds, and he was also saved by me. You look very similar to him, I presume you’re also a mercenary. Since you’ve encountered me, consider it fate. I’ll guide you to a place that can make you a real strong person. However, that place is very dangerous, if you cannot escape smoothly, you might be devoured by a giant dragon, leaving your Spiritual Sense unconscious forever. But if you manage to escape, you will become a true strong person among the Human Race. Kid, are you willing to try?"
The man, elegant yet slightly reckless, his Spiritual Sense boundless, from him, Ni Qianjun felt a majestic Dark Power, unlike any mainland strongmen.
That man named Yue Nian was very strong, so powerful that Ni Qianjun doubted even the Ten Strongest could be his match.
Yet such a man didn’t have any of the Dragon Clan’s usual arrogance in his words; instead, his casual talk somehow made Ni Qianjun feel an odd closeness, as if he had met this man somewhere before.
As he was reminiscing about the man’s words, Ni Qianjun had a jolt.
Bo Sai Mercenary King?!
Could it be that the legend was true, that after a trial, Bo Sai Mercenary King had broken through the Dan Realm and become an unparalleled strong figure.
The true strong figures of the continent?
That was why he had come here, to become strong.
To stand equal with her, to protect her the next time he saw her, that’s why he came here.
Ni Qianjun did not hesitate at all, he pleaded with the man to take him to that place of trial.
Before leaving, the man told Ni Qianjun that within the Dragon Clan, there were many dangerous yet interesting places.
The place he was sending Ni Qianjun to was a domain privately owned by a Bronze Giant Dragon.
It turned out in the Dragon Clan, every Holy Dragon who advanced to the Dan Realm would receive the blessing of the Dragon God, owning a piece of Dragon Domain.
Only by defeating the Bronze Giant Dragon would Ni Qianjun be able to leave this Dragon Domain and return to the Canglong Continent.
However, Ni Qianjun had not expected that the opponent would be so strong.
In front of the Bronze Giant Dragon, he had almost no ability to resist and was devoured by the giant dragon.
The giant dragon’s sharp teeth and its ferocious breath had firmly bitten him down below its dragon jaw.
He couldn’t struggle, nor resist, only witnessing the giant dragon’s teeth piercing inch by inch into his flesh, his Spiritual Sense weakening day by day.
Just when he thought that he ultimately couldn’t avoid being devoured, that familiar voice, which had appeared countless times in his memories, sounded in his ear.
"Brother Qian Jun!"
The voice grew clearer and clearer, and Ni Qianjun struggled to open his eyes.
