Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 886 - 4: Poison Dragon Knight
The power of Lie Changgong had already reached the Dan Realm. In his rage, he suddenly struck, targeting Chen Jiangyin’s death acupoint, his palm wind fierce like thunder, almost foreseeing the situation where Chen Jiangyin’s brain would burst, blood splattering all around.
Outside the house, Long Rui heard the commotion inside and thought something had changed. She broke in with the Lake King Dragon.
She saw Lie Changgong suddenly make a move, intending to kill Chen Jiangyin, and couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.
Chen Jiangyin’s pale face showed a strange color. In such an emergency, his seemingly frail body bizarrely shrank back and avoided, leaping backward like a wary leopard. His left hand, as fast as lightning, pressed on that flame.
Inside the room, it was like a suddenly erupting volcano, emitting a loud roar.
The sound was so loud that it startled the entire City Lord Mansion.
A giant dragon, gold and red all over, suddenly appeared, lifting Chen Jiangyin.
This giant dragon was different from those Sub-Asian Dragons owned by the Imperial Dragon Knights. Its body was much larger, instantly breaking through the house. Its entire body was only skeletal, without a bit of skin or muscle, resembling a dinosaur fossil displayed in a modern museum, only bones.
This was a Corpse Bone Dragon!
Standing on the back of the Corpse Bone Dragon, Chen Jiangyin’s Pill Master’s robe was long gone; he was wearing a Dragon Knight’s battle helmet, a dragon pattern on his chest.
A Dragon Knight?
Chen Jiangyin was actually a Dragon Knight too!
Long Rui, being an important figure in the Dragon War Empire’s National Guardian General Residence, knew the matters of the Empire well, but she had never heard that Chen Jiangyin of the Danlu was also a Dragon Knight, and he possessed a powerful Corpse Bone Dragon.
The Corpse Bone Dragon had short forelimbs and long hind limbs, with a pair of bone wings like those of a Winged Dragon growing on its back.
The bone wings flapped powerfully, flying to a height of fifty to sixty meters, Chen Jiangyin’s face full of anger.
The fact that he was also a Dragon Knight was known by no more than five people on the entire continent, but today, due to Lie Changgong’s sudden attack, his identity was exposed, revealing a weakness prematurely for Chen Jiangyin.
The old bastard dared to sneak attack him. If not for considering that he was Yue Jinghua’s grandfather, he would have killed him long ago.
"Senior Lie, what’s going on? Why did you try to kill the Pill Master, no, Knight Chen? He was just trying to save you," Long Rui’s Lake King Dragon appeared somewhat lacking in confidence in front of Chen Jiangyin’s Corpse Bone Dragon.
Chen Jiangyin’s treatment had reached the last and most critical step, yet Lie Changgong interrupted, rendering all previous efforts in vain.
After one strike, Lie Changgong also felt the Evil Qi surging back within him, pain in his Dantian almost unbearable. He endured the pain, glaring hatefully at Chen Jiangyin standing on the back of the Corpse Bone Dragon: "As expected, the one who stole my wife Feng Wanwan’s Panlong’s Breath back then was the Danlu. Boy, there’s no need to hide. What you use is the improved Panlong’s Breath, and your Corpse Bone Dragon was refined from the Panlong’s body, which my wife encountered by chance years ago, right? Shameless Danlu, you caused my family to crumble, my wife to separate from her daughter, and me to turn into a wretched ghost for so many years. You think you can erase the hatred between Danlu and the Lie Family Mansion just by saving my life? Dream on."
Lie Changgong spat thick phlegm, cursing Chen Jiangyin bitterly.
Panlong’s Breath?!
Chen Jiangyin’s face changed upon hearing Feng Wanwan and Panlong’s Breath. He retracted the Corpse Bone Dragon and saluted Lie Changgong, "Senior Lie, are you Master Feng’s husband?"
"Pah, shameless creature, the people of Danlu killed Wanwan, and you still have the face to call her your master?" Lie Changgong only wished he could kill Chen Jiangyin with a single blow, seeing him hypocritically mention his wife, his anger boiled further.
Long Rui quickly supported Lie Changgong, advising the old man not to get angry.
"There’s some misunderstanding here, though I’ve never met Master Feng in person, my alchemy technique was learned from her handbook, and even the refining of this Corpse Bone Dragon was recorded in her handbook. Back then, Master Feng joined Danlu and revised a handbook for Danlu."
That handbook recorded the refining of basic elixirs, and because it was detailed and easy to understand, almost every Pill Master in Danlu had to memorize and learn from it before becoming a middle-level alchemist.
Thus, Chen Jiangyin repeatedly called Feng Wanwan "Master Feng."
"You young brat, your ability to lie is quite remarkable for your age. Then tell me, if my wife’s death is unrelated to Danlu, why do you have my wife’s Panlong’s Breath in your hand?" Lie Changgong, in his days of coma, was groggy, constantly haunted by the scene of his wife’s tragic death.
In his daze, he felt a familiar warmth.
This feeling was identical to when his wife Feng Wanwan used her right hand, marked with Panlong’s Breath, to channel Dark Energy for him in those days.
Lie Changgong’s confused mind revived at that moment.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Chen Jiangyin using Danlu’s method to expel the Evil Qi for him.
Danlu, this name Lie Changgong had hated for many years, especially upon seeing Panlong’s Breath, his anger reached its peak.
Ignoring his safety, he attacked Chen Jiangyin without hesitation.
"Jiangyin doesn’t dare to lie. Although Master Feng’s death cannot be said to have nothing to do with Danlu, the real culprit wasn’t Danlu. Danlu accidentally revealed the fact that Master Feng had Panlong’s Breath. The true instigator behind Master Feng’s death is someone else," sighed Chen Jiangyin, his words sincere, a shadow of regret flashing across his brows. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Chen Jiangyin was reputed as Danlu’s first genius, yet he knew his talent couldn’t match Feng Wanwan’s.
His achievements in alchemy came largely from Feng Wanwan’s Pill Master Handbook, even the origins of his Corpse Bone Dragon was the same.
"Who is the actual killer of my wife?" Lie Changgong, half-believing, moved forward and grabbed Chen Jiangyin, eyeing the Panlong’s Breath in his hand, agitated.
Chen Jiangyin hesitated, eventually shaking his head, unwilling to disclose the true killer of Feng Wanwan.
Having not fully recovered, the provocation reversed his Qi and blood, ultimately unable to hold it in, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted again.
Long Rui was startled, Chen Jiangyin also grasped Lie Changgong’s wrist, brows knitted, and sighed deeply.
